In the midst of curious gazes, Chen Kai slowly stood up, his gaze, tender as flowing water, suddenly fixed on Zhao Nan.
Zhao Nan was startled and instinctively tried to avoid Chen Kai's stare, but Chen Kai kept his eyes locked on her, showing no intention of looking away.
Lin Feng and Chen Xue Rou also noticed Chen Kai staring intently at Zhao Nan.
Both of them had a bad feeling about it.
As expected, after a moment of silence, Chen Kai spoke, "This girl is Zhao Nan. Because Zhao Nan has always had a boyfriend, I haven't been able to express the love I've long harbored for her."
"When I learned she broke up with her boyfriend, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to rush to her and confess my feelings for her."
"But I knew she must be feeling terrible after the breakup and wouldn't want anyone to bother her. Coincidentally, I had a performance abroad, so I planned to tell her after I returned."
"Today, I finally have the perfect opportunity."
"I want to tell you, Zhao Nan, I've liked you for a long time. I want you to be my girlfriend!"
"I will definitely love and protect you with all my might, and I won't let you get hurt ever again!"
Speaking with affection, Chen Kai let out a relieved sigh.
At this moment, everyone erupted, and the venue buzzed with excitement.
Zhao Nan was in a daze, she had never imagined Chen Kai would confess to her.
Back in college, like other girls, Zhao Nan had always regarded Chen Kai as an idol.
They quietly followed Chen Kai's every astonishing performance, feeling that Chen Kai was from a different world, not someone they could ever get his attention or affection.
Now, Zhao Nan felt like she was dreaming.
Her long-time idol had actually liked her for a long time, but had kept it hidden because she had a boyfriend.
It's over, Zhao Nan, Zhao Nan, what are you going to do now?
Chen Kai actually confessed to you!
Zhao Nan's mind was a mess, a mixture of excitement and bewilderment.
"Nan Nan, why are you still stunned? Don't you also really like class monitor Chen Kai? Hurry up and agree!"
Chen Xue Rou urged her, wholeheartedly believing Zhao Nan and Chen Kai were a perfect match.
Most importantly, Chen Kai's character was by no means comparable to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was a scumbag, but Chen Kai was definitely a devoted good man, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for Zhao Nan for so long.
"Xue Rou, I, I haven't really thought it through, I..."
Zhao Nan was at a loss, she was truly flustered.
Watching the scene unfold, Lin Feng felt a pang of unease in his heart, as if a treasured possession of his had been snatched away.
This feeling gave Lin Feng an indescribable sense of disgust and displeasure.
"Nan Nan, I know I was a bit too impulsive today, and you might find it hard to accept."
"You don't need to give me an answer immediately. The piano piece below is my gift to you. I hope you like it."
Chen Kai smiled understandingly, sat down at the piano, and began to play elegantly.
The melody was beautiful and poignant, an expression of love to a beloved.
Chen Kai's slender fingers danced across the piano keys; he played with great skill and emotion.
Listening to the beautiful music, everyone imagined a refined young man kneeling on one knee, holding a bouquet of flowers, and confessing his heartfelt feelings to the woman he loved under the moonlight.
Zhao Nan listened intently, drawn into Chen Kai's piano piece.
However, for some reason, the images that flashed through Zhao Nan's mind were all the little moments with Lin Feng.
From their first meeting to Lin Feng's selfless rescue.
All the scenes played out in her mind like a movie.
"Nan Nan, you are so lucky! My ears are pregnant from listening!"
"If you end up with the class monitor, you can listen to him play the piano for you every day."
"That's right, the class monitor is rich and talented. So many girls pursue him, but he doesn't even notice them. You truly saved the galaxy in your past life."
The crowd chattered, all envious and jealous of Zhao Nan.
"Nan Nan, I also think you and the class monitor are a great match. Congratulations, you've finally found your person."
Chen Xue Rou was unaware of Lin Feng's presence in Zhao Nan's heart. She simply felt that Zhao Nan shouldn't miss out on meeting such a good man like Chen Kai.
"I, I..."
Zhao Nan didn't know how to respond.
Although she admired Chen Kai greatly, she felt no stir of emotion when he confessed to her.
She knew she probably just appreciated Chen Kai, not liked him.
In fact, Chen Kai's place in her heart was not as high as Lin Feng's.
"Nan Nan, you don't need to rush to reply. Liking someone isn't about immediate possession, but about wishing them happiness."
"I will accompany you often during this time. I hope you can get to know me better and give me a chance to pursue you, okay?"
Chen Kai finished playing and approached Zhao Nan, speaking softly.
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, class monitor."
Zhao Nan nodded; she had no reason to refuse this request.
Seeing that Zhao Nan didn't immediately agree, Lin Feng felt a great sense of relief.
During the subsequent meal, Chen Kai continuously served Zhao Nan food, acting like a warm boyfriend.
Lin Feng found it annoying and simply found an excuse to leave.
Out of sight, out of mind, as the saying goes.
He went to a nearby supermarket, bought a few packs of sanitary pads for Zhao Nan, and also got a thermos flask filled with hot water.
He wasn't sure what he was thinking, but he felt uncomfortable seeing Zhao Nan in pain.
That's why he wanted to care for Zhao Nan's well-being.
Yes, it shouldn't be that he liked Zhao Nan; liking someone would make his heart flutter.
But he felt absolutely no flutter in his heart for Zhao Nan. Perhaps he saw Zhao Nan as family, and didn't want Zhao Nan to find a boyfriend so quickly?
Lin Feng mused to himself. In fact, he thought Chen Kai was quite good, much better than Zhao Nan's previous boyfriend.
"Forget it, I should just wish you two get together."
Lin Feng resigned himself to it. Since he had no romantic feelings for Zhao Nan, why should he hold back the two of them from being together?
From his observation, Chen Kai was a rather upright person, at least he was serious about Zhao Nan.
After buying the items, Lin Feng returned to the hall and saw Chen Kai walking over. He handed the sanitary pads and the thermos flask to Chen Kai.
"Classmate Lin Feng, why are you giving me these things?"
Chen Kai was somewhat confused.
"Little Teacher Zhao is having her period. Giving these to her will be good for her health."
Lin Feng thought he would help arrange things between Chen Kai and Zhao Nan, thus giving Chen Kai an opportunity to impress her.
Chen Kai nodded, "Alright, thank you."
Saying so, Chen Kai took the items and gave them to Zhao Nan.
"Nan Nan, drink the hot water. And here are the sanitary pads, keep them safe."
Chen Kai discreetly tucked the sanitary pads into Zhao Nan's bag and thoughtfully unscrewed the thermos.
"How did you know I was starting my period?"
Zhao Nan was a little puzzled.
"Your student told me. He asked me to give these to you."
Chen Kai didn't hide it and truthfully said, "This student of yours is very thoughtful. He can tell he's close to you and knows to buy these things for you."
Upon learning that Lin Feng had bought them, Zhao Nan's heart warmed, and she immediately looked for Lin Feng.
At this moment, Lin Feng had already left the hall and was sitting by the hotel entrance, gazing at the stars.
