When Yu Qing came to find Shen Yu outside the classroom according to the class schedule and layout, they had just finished class.
Yu Qing stood at the classroom door and looked inside, but couldn't find Shen Yu; instead, she attracted a lot of attention.
A young man immediately stepped forward and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady looking for? Would you mind adding me on Weixun?"
beauty...?
Yu Qing lowered her head and glanced at him discreetly.
Today, although he had specially changed into a newer style of white shirt and light green cardigan, paired with white jeans and light-colored canvas shoes, it could only be described as a refreshing color scheme. The clothes were all very ordinary casual styles, and were not worth mentioning among such high-value art students.
Yu Qing shook her head and politely said, "No, I'm looking for Shen Yu."
Yu Qing had drunk too much yesterday and didn't realize it until she sobered up that Shen Yu was jealous.
He doesn't like adding other students' contact information himself.
Since Shen Yu didn't like it, Yu Qing thought that it wouldn't be necessary to add it.
"Okay, so you're looking for Shen Yu." The boy, rejected, didn't say anything else, only, " Shen Yu went to the teacher's office. Wait a minute, I'll go call him for you."
"Or shall I take you there?"
"Thank you. Could you tell me where the office is? I can go there myself."
The boy raised his hand to point the way, "Go straight from here to the stairwell, turn right, and it's at the very end."
Yu Qing leaned forward slightly. "Thank you."
The boy quickly waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Someone asked Yu Qing, "Are you Shen Yu's boyfriend?"
Someone else said, "He looks familiar."
Where have I seen you before?
"I remember now, it's that award-winning newcomer... Yu Qing!"
" Yu Qing?! The school heartthrob next door Yu Qing?"
Before Yu Qing could answer, people gathered around and began to read his name aloud.
Yu Qing was slightly surprised, but still bowed politely to everyone and turned to walk towards her office.
Before I could even take a step, someone retorted, "Nonsense! It's clearly the school beauty and the school hunk. My friends even showed me the results when they came out!"
"...?" Yu Qing staggered slightly.
"No wonder, he's so handsome. I love his eyes."
"So exquisite! How do you maintain such beautiful skin?"
"Hey, is he here to see Shen Yu?"
"I think so, they just said that."
" Shen Yu's boyfriend?"
"Yeah?"
"It's hard to say..."
Unexpectedly, the students here were also so gossipy, but fortunately no one stopped him or blocked his way, so Yu Qing quickly left.
He thought to himself, "What's so special about a school beauty...?"
The Imperial Capital Drama Academy's teaching building is U-shaped, with very tall floors and particularly spacious corridors. It took Yu Qing just five minutes to walk to her office.
Yu Qing also learned from the students' conversations that Shen Yu was very popular at school; at the very least, she could hear both boys and girls praising his good looks.
Some people even waited specifically at the stairwell to see him.
Yu Qing pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
As Yu Qing waited outside the office, she looked through the window at the people inside, her thoughts drifting away.
Yu Qing likes Shen Yu.
The more time I spend with them, the more I like them.
I didn't agree last night because I was afraid Shen Yu would be under the influence of alcohol and might impulsively say it. If I agreed, it would be difficult to handle the situation if things got ugly later.
Of course, I'm also afraid that I won't be able to control my emotions and will foolishly rush in and get hurt.
Yu Qing has never liked arguing and doesn't want to fall out with anyone.
However, Yu Qing only found out today when she arrived at school that Shen Yu was not lacking in popularity.
Yu Qing glanced at the people around her, and when she met their gazes that they hadn't had time to look away, she was slightly taken aback.
Is this... looking at me?
" A-Qing!" A familiar voice rang out, Yu Qing subconsciously turned around to look, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.
Shen Yu, dressed in a black school uniform, exuded the typical cool and aloof campus heartthrob vibe. Tall and with long legs, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he walked out of the office carrying a stack of documents in one hand, attracting frequent glances from everyone.
His face, which was usually cold and stern, softened slightly when he looked at Yu Qing, and his eyes were filled with a smile.
"I thought you'd be coming later." Walking up to Yu Qing, Shen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you rest more at noon?"
"I came because there was nothing else."
Seeing everyone's gaze turn this way, Yu Qing frowned slightly, reached out and poked Shen Yu's shoulder, her voice gentle yet carrying a hint of domineering command, "Come here."
After saying that, she glanced at the documents he was holding and felt a little regretful.
Shen Yu said self-consciously, "It's alright, there's no rush, I'll give it to the teacher tomorrow."
As Yu Qing walked, she asked, "You don't have classes this afternoon. Do you have any other plans?"
Shen Yu: "Yes, I'm waiting for you."
Yu Qing's lips curved slightly.
The two walked downstairs together, Yu Qing asked again, "What's with your school uniform? Are there any activities today?"
"Something came up with the student council this morning, so I didn't have time to change this afternoon," Shen Yu replied honestly. "I was planning to change back at the dorm after class."
"Did I arrive too early?"
"It's too early," Shen Yu thought to himself. "I can't wait to see you."
Yu Qing wanted to accompany Shen Yu back to the dormitory to change clothes, but Shen Yu didn't want him to see his roommates, so he deliberately made an excuse that he liked wearing school uniforms and wore them all the time.
Yu Qing looked at his outfit and nodded, "It really looks good."
Feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment, Shen Yu's ears burned.
The two casually found a bench under a camphor tree. Shen Yu placed his materials and textbooks next to him and sat very close to Yu Qing.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
"I..."
"You..."
The two were taken aback for a moment, then said, "You go first."
"..."
Yu Qing laughed, "How silly."
Shen Yu thought he was referring to himself, and silently lowered his head.
Seeing that he was in low spirits, Yu Qing was about to ask him something when her hand, which was hanging by her side, was suddenly grabbed.
"I... am a little slow, but even when I'm drunk, I know exactly what I'm thinking." Shen Yu took a deep breath, his gaze calm yet intensely burning. "I just like you."
Yu Qing was stunned.
"This is my first time liking someone, so there might be some things I don't do well enough. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, and I'll change." Shen Yu said earnestly, covering his other hand with hers and gently pulling it together.
The boy's palms were very warm, just like his heart.
"I will love you with all my might. If you want me for a lifetime, I will take care of you for a lifetime. If you want me for two lifetimes, I will stay with you for two lifetimes."
"To the highest heavens and the deepest hells, I will always be by your side."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, Yu Qing was speechless for several minutes.
It wasn't until the back of my hand was soaked with sweat that I realized my silence had made him nervous.
"I didn't expect you to say these things; it seems... a bit fast, and a bit far off."
Before Shen Yu could feel sad, Yu Qing gently touched his cheek with her other hand, looking up at him. "But we can start as lovers."
As Yu Qing uttered those words, a gentle breeze blew by, and dappled sunlight filtered through the dappled shade of the trees, casting its light into her clear, beautiful eyes, as if they were made of glass.
Shen Yu remembered this scene for a very, very long time.
Yu Qing's body temperature was cool, and her palms were also cold, but it felt strangely comfortable against his face. Shen Yu didn't know how to respond, so he just instinctively rubbed against her.
His usually cold and fierce gaze softened considerably at this moment. He stared at her expectantly for a long time before nodding, "Mm."
So good.
Yu Qing's features softened, and she said gently in a soft voice, "Then please take care of me from now on, my boyfriend."
Shen Yu nodded, his voice slightly hoarse. "Nice to meet you... my boyfriend."
Shen, an 18-year-old freshman, who was eager to reserve his sweetheart for the rest of his life and the next after his first confession, seemed aloof but was actually clumsy with words and outspoken. In this way, he miraculously and luckily won the only love of his life.
The two stayed together for eight years.
