"Is this the place?"
Looking at the sign in front of them, Song Daiyao glanced at the address again to confirm.
"Yes, it's here."
"Then let's go in."
After waiting for more than two weeks, Nan Hua's birthday had finally arrived.
"It's just that the number is a bit strange, 520..." Song Daiyao muttered to herself, finding it a little odd, but Qiu Xi and the others didn't hear her.
"Daiyao, hurry up."
"Oh! Coming."
When the four of them arrived, they realized that despite the grand setup, there were only eight people in total.
"Are there only eight of us?" As soon as they entered and saw only the eight of them, Qiu Xi asked curiously.
"What else did you think?"
"No, I was just a little curious."
Actually, she hadn't expected that the renowned campus heartthrob would have such a quiet birthday celebration.
"This is already good. If it weren't for you, this guy probably wouldn't even celebrate his birthday."
"Ah?"
"Talking too much."
Seeing the icy glare Nan Hua cast his way, Zhao Huasheng immediately shut his mouth and said no more.
"Don't mind him, he talks too much all day."
"Okay! Here, this is the gift." Seeing that Nan Hua didn't want to elaborate, Qiu Xi didn't ask further and handed over the gift she had brought.
"Thank you, sit down first."
"Okay."
With that, Nan Hua led Qiu Xi to sit beside him.
"Alright. Let's have the cake and eat first. The private room next door is a KTV. After eating, everyone can go sing for a while."
Among the four men, Zhao Huasheng, who talked the most, had the potential to host this meal.
"Okay, then we won't be polite."
"Please don't be."
So, after the cake, the group began to feast.
After eating, while everyone was still chatting, Nan Hua called Qiu Xi.
The two of them walked towards the adjacent private room.
"What are they going to do?"
Watching the two suddenly leave together, Song Daiyao felt a little curious about what they were up to.
Qiu Xi herself was very confused, her expression filled with bewilderment, but she still followed along.
However, as she stepped into the private room, she seemed to understand a little, though she wasn't entirely sure.
But Nan Hua's subsequent words provided her with the answer.
"Xi Xi, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time, and I've been waiting until now."
"I've waited too long, and the more I wait, the more I yearn for it."
"Everyone says that falling in love starts with receiving a bouquet of flowers and a formal confession. So, I'm here. I don't know much about you, but I can't stop thinking about you."
"Xi Xi, can you give me a chance to get closer to you?"
If at first, looking at the pink decorations in the private room and the many floating balloons, one might have thought it was birthday party decor, Nan Hua's words made Qiu Xi finally realize what was happening. However, at the same time, she was stunned.
It had been so long, and she had thought that she, the demure girl, would have to make the first move. She hadn't expected him to be quicker than her.
After all, what college life wouldn't need a sweet romance?!
"Xiao Xi, quickly say yes!"
At some point, several people were already peeking through the doorway of the private room. Their large eyes were eagerly watching this touching scene unfold.
Song Daiyao had been waiting for a long time and saw her dorm mate, the silly girl, standing there blankly. Feeling anxious for her, she couldn't help but blurt out.
"Daiyao!"
Hearing the sound, Liang Yunfei, who wanted to cover her mouth, was too late because the person had already heard.
Alright, then let's continue watching. She had initially wanted Xiao Xi to think it over properly, but now she would just be a spectator.
"You've come earlier than I imagined."
"I couldn't bear to see you walk the ninety-nine steps, so I came first, just waiting for your embrace."
"Although... I am willing."
Saying this, Qiu Xi took the flowers from Nan Hua's arms and hugged him.
"Spring comes and summer passes, autumn harvests and winter stores, we have a long future ahead of us!"
"Clap clap clap~" Seeing this, the people peeking from the door immediately entered and began to applaud.
"Congratulations~"
"There's a share for everyone at the 'getting out of singlehood' meal!"
"Wishing you 99!"
"......"
"I'm so happy!" Holding the person in his arms, Nan Hua felt this way for the first time, his whole being, even his mind, felt hazy.
"Alright, can the public display of affection stop now?"
Zhao Huasheng, watching Nan Hua refuse to let go of Qiu Xi, couldn't help but say it. They, the single dogs, were getting too full.
"Ahem~"
As if trying to cover up her embarrassment, Qiu Xi released him with a blush and stepped back.
"You talk too much!"
Giving Zhao Huasheng a glare, Nan Hua's hand sneakily reached out and clasped Qiu Xi's other hand, which was a bit unsure where to rest.
"Are we still brothers? You've just gotten together and you're already protecting her!"
"Alright, let's go sing. Let's quickly get away from all this pink and bubbly stuff!"
Sweetness belongs to others; she couldn't be overwhelmed by it. With that, Song Daiyao pulled the others and started choosing songs.
Watching those who had already started singing, Qiu Xi and Nan Hua exchanged glances.
"Do you want to sing?"
"Why don't we go for a walk outside?"
"Let's go."
......
"What did you say 'although' to just now?"
"Hmm... are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes! Tell me."
"I just wanted to ask you, where did this aloof campus heartthrob learn this confession..."
"Alright! I get it, forgive me, it's my first time."
"Hahaha~"
"Stop laughing!"
"Mmph~"
The next second, Qiu Xi, who had been laughing heartily, had her mouth covered by a large hand. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Seeing this, Nan Hua realized his mistake and immediately lowered his hand.
"Are you shy?"
Hearing Qiu Xi say this, Nan Hua's ears reddened a bit. Curious, Qiu Xi reached out and touched them.
"You..."
"You..."
Nan Hua raised his hand and grabbed the girl's small hand that was reaching out. He lowered his head to look at it, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"May I?"
A blush instantly spread across the young girl's face.
How could he ask about such a thing? Shouldn't he just go for it?
With her mind not yet catching up, Qiu Xi directly tiptoed and pounced.
"Mmm~"
Nan Hua, who was still waiting for an answer, was kissed.
"Silly girl, breathe!"
......
"I didn't expect my little girlfriend to be so eager."
"......"
"And you're blaming me? Do you have prior experience?!" She showed no unfamiliarity with the act, going straight for the kill.
"You're wrongly accusing me."
"Oh?"
"This is called innate talent."
"......"
