“Oh, I understand now.” As soon as Yang Qianfan heard this, he immediately grasped the meaning and laughed, boasting, “I may not be good at anything else, but my heart is the best.” With that, he hurried over to help the girl carry the books.
Time flew by, and before long, the school’s annual autumn sports meeting was about to commence. Except for the third-year students, nearly all the other grades were busy preparing for the event. Only Yang Qianfan was preoccupied with pursuing Li Lingfei, completely ignoring everything else.
Yang Qianfan had been pursuing Li Lingfei for almost a month, but he was not satisfied with his progress. Even now, he had yet to see that affectionate gaze in her eyes that resembled autumn waters—deep and lingering. He found it hard to endure this marathon-like pursuit. After some thought, he decided that it would be better to end it quickly rather than prolonging the pain. He resolved to confess directly to her and ask if she would be willing to be his girlfriend. If she agreed, that would be great; if not, he could move on and stop wasting time and energy on her alone. At this moment, he also considered looking for alternatives and suddenly remembered a few Tough Girls under Hu Yuanji—Sunshine and Dew. He thought that if Li Lingfei rejected him, he could simply pursue one of them instead. To be honest, those girls were quite pretty, especially Xiao Yang, who was not much less attractive than Li Lingfei. Thus, with a determined heart, he ran off to confront Li Lingfei and confess his feelings.
After the second class ended, he rushed to Li Lingfei’s classroom and asked her to meet him at the school’s sports field after lunch because he had something important to discuss.
When lunchtime arrived, Li Lingfei came as promised to the sports field. Upon seeing her, Yang Qianfan did not rush into his confession but instead walked around the field with her. He subtly tried to gauge her thoughts about him over the past few days. His aim was merely to test whether she had any feelings for him before finding the right moment to confess.
Li Lingfei was a very innocent girl; she did not have the complicated thoughts that many girls her age possessed. She wouldn’t doubt Yang Qianfan’s questions at all; she simply expressed what was in her heart. After being pursued by him for so long—where he put in so much effort just to earn a smile from her—it was only natural for her to harbor some fondness for him. Thus, it was no surprise that she spoke highly of him.
Seeing Li Lingfei praise him made Yang Qianfan unable to contain his joy. He thought to himself that if he didn’t act now, when would he? So without hesitation and with a flushed face, he confessed his feelings for her. Li Lingfei responded with a faint smile but did not show any reaction. Perhaps she had heard too many confessions from others in the past and had grown numb to such declarations.
Yang Qianfan noticed that she remained silent like a statue—neither agreeing nor disagreeing—and felt anxious and frustrated. He urged her repeatedly for an answer; even if it meant rejection, he preferred a swift response rather than prolonging uncertainty. But Li Lingfei remained quiet until a truck parked nearby caught her attention.
This truck was used by the school specifically for transporting books and was filled with various materials needed by different grades. A very short girl in a school uniform was sweating profusely as she unloaded bundles of books from the truck without anyone around to help her. Seeing this, Li Lingfei thought it was time to test Yang Qianfan. She turned to him with a smile and pointed at the girl next to the truck, saying, “Do you see that girl over there?”
Yang Qianfan looked in the direction she pointed and replied impatiently, “I see her; she’s really short!”
Li Lingfei smiled lightly and said, “The primary condition I have for choosing a boyfriend is whether he has a kind heart and is willing to help others!”
