The classroom was in chaos. Everyone was looking at Luosang with envy. The rumors about Nian Junting and her had been spread all over campus previously. Everyone knew that Nian Junting was a self-made CEO of a listed company, and most importantly, that his family was rich, and he was extremely handsome. He was a stark contrast to those old bosses with beer bellies.
He had often come to pick Luosang up from school as well, and many of her classmates had seen them together. No one on campus was as good looking as he was. Now, he was reciting a love poem in public. He was setting the bar too high.
Luosang was stunned and speechless. How could he disrupt everyone’s learning and recite a love poem in class? The most incredible thing was when Professor Li grinned and said, “Be quiet everyone. Let’s all pay attention to the poem. The boys should listen and learn from Mr. Nian, using a love poem to woo his girlfriend.” Following that, the class was silent and attentive.
Nian Junting’s magnetic and raspy voice was broadcast over the speakers. “Luo, please allow me to call you that still. Although you asked for a breakup, I haven’t agreed to it yet, so it’s a one-sided request.”
The whole class burst into laughter. Luosang covered her face with her hands. She wanted to crawl underneath the table. The shameless man had revealed himself to the entire school.
Over the speakers, he continued, “We haven’t been together for long. I have many things I have yet to say to you. I don’t remember when exactly I fell in love with you, but I remember the night we met at the club. You had the most beautiful eyes. Your pink lips, your shiny hair, and your sweet smell left a deep impression. I could hear my heart thump the moment I saw you. It was a wonderful moment, unforgettable. Now that you want to break up with me, it’s probably because I’m not good enough, not attentive enough, not gentle and considerate enough. I am willing to change all of that. I’ll buy you flowers every day, dry your hair, cook for you. I will peel fruit, prawns, crab, anything you want for you. I’ll hand over all my salary and savings, and I will love you forever. Luo, will you return to me, please?”
“I’m willing, I’m willing! Let me chase you instead, Mr. Nian!” a brazen girl from the class shouted, and the other girls started shouting, too.
Luosang was stunned. Soon, she realized that her hands were wet. They were wet from her tears. Nian Junting, you idiot. Didn’t he always say she was the one who chased after him? What was he doing confessing his love so publicly? Why was he reciting the love poem out loud? Wasn’t he always trying to keep up his cool and nonchalant image?
How could she continue with the show? The more she thought about it, the more she could not resist suddenly breaking into a smile.
The voice continued, “If you’re still unwilling, I’ll be standing here waiting for you to come back.”
“Ahhh, Mr. Nian’s voice is so moving.” One of the girls fawned. “Luosang, say yes to him. Get back together, don’t hesitate any longer. If you hesitate, we’re all going to woo him instead.”
“…”
Professor Li, who was still standing on the platform, cleared his throat. “It’s very touching, Luosang. Why don’t you agree with him?”
