The basketball steadily fell into the hoop, and the referee's whistle sounded, signaling the end of the game. The Finance Department won this match by two points.
I watched Cui Lidong, surrounded by his teammates, and in that moment, I clearly saw his pride. His spirited and sunny demeanor was captivating. After celebrating for a while with his teammates, he walked straight toward me. The crowd automatically parted to make way for him as he approached me and suddenly shoved something into my hand.
"What is this?" I looked down and was surprised to find it was the basketball medal awarded from the game. This represented honor. I looked up at him, feeling a bit at a loss: "Why are you giving me this..."
He lowered his gaze, his dark eyes resembling a deep sea that pulled me in tightly. "It's for you."
With that, he turned and walked away. His figure gradually blurred in my sight until it became a distant point.
Since that day when I dropped Chen Qian off at her dormitory, I began to officially pursue her. I waited for her before and after classes, entering and exiting together, pretending it was a coincidence. I asked her roommate Yuanyuan about all her preferences and recorded them one by one.
My notes contained various things she liked, and I enjoyed creating little surprises for her from time to time. A sunflower she liked, a box of Egg Tarts she loved—these were all very ordinary items. Yet somehow, each time I gave her something, it happened to be exactly what she liked.
Over time, she found it hard to refuse me. It felt so natural, so much so that it didn’t seem deliberate at all. In this way, I gradually infiltrated her social circle through various natural means.
Let her find no reason to refuse me.
She occasionally hints at it, but my responses always reassure her.
As a result, she can't find better words to reply to me.
She says, "Cui Lidong, you really don't have to..."
I interrupt her, "I will wait."
"Chen Qian, give me a chance to pursue you."
Yuanyuan, as an observer, often teasingly tells Chen Qian, "Cui Lidong is so good to you; don't be too picky."
"If someone treated me that well, I would have agreed long ago."
Chen Qian smiles, noncommittal.
Sometimes, she suddenly stares into my eyes, looking unblinkingly as if she's lost in my gaze.
I know that in those moments, she is entranced by me.
Though just for an instant, I still feel a sense of satisfaction inside.
Soon, it was Yuanyuan's birthday.
To satisfy her little cravings, she specifically called me and Ma Yiming over.
Barbecue and beer are what Yuanyuan considers the perfect combination.
While stuffing her mouth with skewers, she orders Ma Yiming, "I want chicken wings; hurry and grill them for me!"
"And that corn too; grill some for me."
She shows no intention of dieting at all.
My attention remains focused on Chen Qian.
She can't eat too many spicy foods, so I pick some non-spicy skewers for her.
In my careful actions, I didn't even realize that my gaze had been fixed on her the whole time.
After the gathering ended, Yuanyuan suggested we split into two groups to head back to the dorms for digestion.
She forcefully pulled Ma Yiming towards the South Gate.
Only Chen Qian and I were left, walking one in front of the other.
No one spoke; only the wind gently blew by.
Until I finally broke the silence, "How about we go to the East Gate?"
The journey was silent.
Just as we were about to reach the East Gate, I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
I turned around and stared at her intently.
She followed my movement, stopping slightly and looking up at me, her eyes sparkling in the night.
I struggled to suppress the turmoil within me, but my voice trembled uncontrollably as I spoke, "Can I, Chen Qian?"
"Can you be my girlfriend?"
When I said those words, my heart skipped a beat, then began to race as if it had finally reacted.
"Thump, thump..."
One beat after another, as if it were about to leap out of my chest.
I watched her carefully and with great anticipation.
Her lips parted slightly, appearing surprised yet somewhat swayed.
I was too nervous to think; my mind was blank, and I could only focus intently on her lips, afraid of missing a single word she might say.
After a long moment, she finally nodded at me.
In that instant, it felt like I could hear countless flowers blooming in the night.
"Okay."
That's what she said.
