Chapter 371: Confession? Confession is not right!
Lan Qiusheng came back to his senses. "Director Li plans to hold a freshman meeting in the hospital. The speech will be about 15 minutes long. The content can be free. It is mainly to encourage the freshmen. He said that it would be better if you are willing to sit in the welcoming venue for a while."

Her voice was particularly clear in the small space of the elevator.

Xu Wen nodded: "I understand."

When the elevator reached the first floor, he gentlemanly held out his hand to hold the elevator door, allowing Lan Qiu Sheng to go out first.

Walking out of the building, the evening breeze brushed across my cheeks with the coolness of early autumn.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in Linjiang is very large now. It feels hot even if you wear short sleeves during the day, but you have to put on a coat at night.

Lan Qiusheng subconsciously pulled up his collar. Xu Wen noticed this and slowed down his pace: "Are you cold?"

"It's not cold, just a little windy." Lan Qiu Sheng shook his head.

Xu Wen didn't say anything else, but adjusted his direction.

He walked to the side where the wind was blowing and blocked most of the wind for Lan Qiu Sheng.

This subtle movement caused Lan Qiusheng's heart to skip a beat.

She was secretly delighted at first, but soon realized that Xu Wen was like this to everyone.

The same tenderness, the same care.

However, this little bit of thoughtfulness that was revealed unintentionally can make her happy for a long time.

The two got in the car together.

Lan Qiusheng acted as the driver and Xu Wen sat in the passenger seat.

On the way, the two chatted about various interesting things that happened during last year's orientation.

It’s just that their identities were different at that time.

They are new students and others come to greet them.

A year later, they finally stood in the position of seniors.

"You have more experience than us. You participated in the orientation last year," Xu Wen recalled.

He remembered that when he first came to school, he saw Lan Qiu Sheng among the seniors at a glance, and she took the initiative to stay and help.

At that time, he felt that this girl was a perfect worker, and now it seems to be true.

Lan Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he remembered what happened a year ago.

For some reason, even though only a year had passed, she felt as if a long time had passed.

She felt that maybe she had experienced too much this year.

"I work so hard just to become a squad leader, then join the organization and pass the examination to become a selected cadre in the future," Lan Qiu Sheng explained.

There was a hint of helplessness in her tone as she continued, "In the end, the position of class monitor was snatched away by someone else."

Lan Qiusheng turned his head to look, and silence at this moment was the best expression.

At the beginning of the school year, she and Ding Yue both wanted to be class monitors and worked very hard to achieve this goal.

In the end, the person who became the class monitor turned out to be Xu Wen, who was running for the cultural and arts committee member.
At that moment she finally understood a word.

What does it mean that things in the world are unpredictable?

Speaking of this, Lan Qiu Sheng also remembered his initial goal.

She just wanted to have a smooth college life, find work quickly after graduation, and give her mother and brother a good life in the future.

But when she looked out the window at the endless stream of traffic.

Only then did I realize that I was already far away from my original goal.

Xu Wen was also modest and replied directly: "I can't help it. I am just too good. Excellent people will never be buried."

Lan Qiusheng chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Of course, our class monitor is so outstanding. You should be the only class monitor in the whole school who doesn't have to work."

Xu Wen pretended to be horrified, then replied: "You discovered all this!"

After hearing this, Lan Qiu Sheng just smiled and said nothing more.

The Cantonese restaurant was only a ten-minute walk from the company, and the two quickly arrived at the restaurant entrance.

The store is elegantly decorated with soft lighting, not many customers and a quiet environment.

As soon as Lan Qiusheng pushed open the glass door of the Cantonese restaurant, the cold air that hit her face made her subconsciously shrink her neck.

Her eyes suddenly froze as she scanned the hall.

Behind the green plants by the window, Ding Yue was holding a menu to cover half of his face, his round eyes blinking at her wildly.

"The decoration of this store is quite special." Lan Qiu Sheng immediately moved sideways to block Xu Wen's sight, pretending to casually stroke his finger across the decorative painting on the wall.

Beads of sweat broke out on her back. She should have rejected Ding Yue's somewhat nonsensical plan earlier.

The words Ding Yue had said to her this morning as she was dressing her up came back to her ears: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Gu Xingruo is traveling, Xia Ning is nowhere to be found, and you and Xu Wen are the only two people left in Linjiang!"

Xu Wen looked over her head towards the lobby: "Indeed, this kind of decoration style of hotel is rare in Linjiang."

When his eyes swept over Ding Yue's position, Lan Qiusheng's heartbeat almost burst through his chest, but fortunately Ding Yue shrank under the seat in time.

Lan Qiusheng could feel the Bluetooth headset hidden under his long hair getting hot. Ding Yue's low voice kept coming: "It's no use blocking him! He's several heads taller than you!"

"Do you two have a reservation?" A waitress in cheongsam came over.

Lan Qiu Sheng took the opportunity to grab Xu Wen's sleeve and pull him in the opposite direction: "I've booked a private room, my last name is Lan." The dozen steps to the private room felt as long as a marathon. She had to pretend to tidy up her bangs and hold down her headphones, for fear that Xu Wen would notice any sound leakage.

The moment the box door closed, Lan Qiusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

There was celadon tableware on the wooden round table. When Xu Wen pulled out a chair for her, she noticed that a strand of her long hair was stuck to his sleeve.

This discovery made her ears burn and she quickly sat down on the chair.

"I made a rough draft of the orientation process." She opened the file on her phone, but suddenly Ding Yue's voice came from the headset: "If it's exposed, I'll say it was an accidental encounter! Act according to plan A!"

Lan Qiusheng was holding his phone in a panic, and the tea spilled on the tablecloth, leaving dark marks.

Xu Wen took out a tissue and handed it over: "Don't be nervous, it's just a meal."

When his fingertips brushed the back of her hand, Lan Qiu Sheng almost knocked over the teacup.

The dusk deepened outside the window, and her red face was reflected in the glass.

The makeup that Ding Yue had insisted on her putting on seemed too deliberate at the moment.

She wore a pure white suspenders under the bright yellow short jacket, and the dark blue hip skirt outlined her figure that she rarely showed off.

When ordering food, Lan Qiu Sheng mechanically repeated, "Sergeant, you decide."

Ding Yue stamped her feet anxiously in the headset: "Ask him what kind of food he likes, you idiot!"

But every time she tried to speak, her throat felt like it was blocked by cotton.

Finally, Xu Wen ordered poached chicken, steamed fish and squab, which are all classic Cantonese dishes and are also at the top of the menu.

"Time flies so fast. I just thought it was fun watching my seniors welcoming the freshmen, but I didn't expect that it's our turn now." Xu Wen suddenly sighed.

Lan Qiu Sheng recalled that at this time last year, she was still a freshman, watching from afar Xu Wen, as a representative of the freshmen, speaking on the stage.

I never thought that they would become work partners a year later, and I never thought that I would have such feelings for him.

"Yes, yes." Lan Qiu Sheng felt that his mind was blank, with nothing in it.

She didn't remember a single word of what Ding Yue had said to her before he came. These stuttering sounds made Ding Yue in the headset sigh in disappointment.

She always thought that Lan Qiu Sheng was a calm and reliable little girl, but she didn't expect that she would become like this when facing love.

When Xu Wen talked about the student union's change of leadership, Lan Qiusheng couldn't help but hold down his headphones and said, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

She almost ran away and didn't notice Xu Wen's thoughtful look when he looked at her back.

The girl in the bathroom mirror had her lips bitten white.

As soon as Lan Qiu Sheng turned on the faucet, a dark figure rushed out from the innermost cubicle. Ding Yue pulled her into the disabled toilet and locked the door smoothly.

"What are you doing! Asking about zodiac signs, blood types, and childhood traumas. Can't we talk about any topic?" Ding Yue pulled off her headphones.

Lan Qiusheng stared at the gap between the tiles: "I don't know if I should..."

"Shouldn't you what? Shouldn't you have confessed to Xia Ning while Gu Xingruo was traveling and she was missing? Think about the shirts you washed so many times! Look at how you're dressed today!" Ding Yue twisted her shoulders.

Her fingers traced the ends of Lan Qiusheng's carefully curled hair: "Did I dress you up so beautifully today for nothing?"

After she finished her complaints, she even muttered, "If I had a face like yours, I could date all the men on the street!"

Even pouring cold water on Lan Qiusheng's face couldn't lower the temperature.

She whispered, "But can I really do this? I..."

Lan Qiusheng recalled the gloom in Xu Wen's eyes when he talked about his childhood on that day of heavy rain, the warmth of his fingertips when he handed him the shirt, and his obsession with washing that shirt countless times.

She said that she was willing to be a mistress, but when it came to the critical moment, she was tripped by something called "tradition".

"No, you head!"

Ding Yue took out a piece of paper folded into a square from her windbreaker pocket and said, "Look at your diary. On March 17, 'Xu Wen drank the coffee I made', and on May 3, 'Xu Wen praised me for my good report'. Do you think you are a star-chasing girl?"

The edges of the paper were wrinkled.

That was the secret that Lan Qiusheng hid under his pillow, recording every moment related to Xu Wen.

"I" Lan Qiu Sheng suddenly remembered the body temperature of Xu Wen's shirt when it was draped over her shoulders on that day of the heavy rain.

"Are you afraid of rejection? If you don't say it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This may be your only chance in this life. If you don't say it now, you will have to bury this secret in your heart forever." Ding Yue's voice suddenly softened.

There was a flushing sound outside the cubicle, and both of them held their breath at the same time.

When the footsteps faded away, Ding Yue stuffed the photo into Lan Qiusheng's pocket and said, "Go back now and tell me the truth."

She suddenly leaned closer: "No more headphones!"

Ding Yue and Lan Qiu Sheng left the bathroom together. Lan Qiu Sheng still had a hesitant expression on his face, but he was still pushed directly onto the battlefield.

After the two left, a figure wearing a windbreaker and a baseball cap walked out from the compartment next to them.

Under the windbreaker is a white shirt and a light blue plaid skirt.

"Oh my god." Yang Yiyao couldn't help but let out a sound of disbelief.

She didn't expect that she would encounter such a big accident while following.

Lan Qiu Sheng plans to confess his feelings to Xu Wen while Gu Xingruo and Xia Ning are away!
Yang Yiyao couldn't believe her ears. This seemingly inconspicuous little girl was even bolder than she had imagined, completely beyond her expectations.

After Yang Yiyao left Shancheng today, she always felt that something was going to happen.

She did not return to the company, but hid in the shopping mall opposite, where she could have a panoramic view of the various situations in Shancheng.

At first, Yang Yiyao was feeling self-loathing and staring at the Shancheng Building in a daze.

She didn't understand why she would do such a stupid thing, like a stalker.

Later she thought about it and decided to just take it as a day off and rest for an afternoon.

The lights in Xu Wen's office remained on until very late. After the lights went out, Yang Yiyao hurriedly took the elevator downstairs.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Lan Qiusheng and Xu Wen walking out together, and then got into the same car.

Yang Yiyao got back to the car as quickly as possible and drove after him.

Soon she also arrived at this Cantonese restaurant.

She immediately saw Ding Yue hiding in the corner.

She had an impression of this girl and it seemed that she had a good relationship with Lan Qiu Sheng.

Yang Yiyao guessed that something big must happen tonight, but she didn't know what it was.

Is he planning to drug Xu Wen? !
After what happened with Xia Ning, her thoughts have become very bold.

Yang Yiyao was sitting in the corner. She noticed that Lan Qiusheng and Ding Yue were walking in the same direction, so she took the lead and hid in the bathroom.

Then I heard the conversation just now.

It turns out that he wanted to confess his feelings.

"That's not right! It's not right to confess!" Yang Yiyao shouted in her heart.

She remembered the divination she had done for Xu Wen in the afternoon.

The reversed Lovers and World cards, is this what they foreshadow?
She subconsciously reached for the tarot cards in her pocket, but then stopped.

It's too late to try divination now.

At the same time, Lan Qiu Sheng had returned to the box.

Xu Wen was looking at his phone. When he saw her come in, he put down the device and said, "Are you okay? You've been gone for quite a while."

His eyes fell on her slightly red eyes, but he considerately didn't ask any more questions.

"It's okay, I just put on some makeup." Lan Qiu Sheng sat down awkwardly, thinking of the photo Ding Yue stuffed in her hand.

It was a group photo taken during military training last year. Xu Wen was standing behind her on the right, and because of the lens distortion, it looked like he was putting his arm around her shoulders.

She had looked at this photo countless times, and every time she would unconsciously touch the imaginary contact point with her fingers.

The dishes have been served. The skin of the poached chicken is crystal clear, the steamed fish is steaming, and the pigeon is golden and crispy.

Xu Wen picked up a piece of fish for her: "Try it. I heard that the chef here is a local over there."

Lan Qiusheng ate it in small bites, and the taste was like chewing wax.

She remembered what Ding Yue said.

"If you don't tell me now, you will have to keep this secret in your heart forever."

In the hotel room on the day of the heavy rain, when Xu Wen accidentally touched her hand, the electric touch came back.

At that moment, she almost blurted out the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, but in the end, she just quickly pulled her hand back and pretended that it was just an accident.

"As long as it tastes good, it's fine. My roommate recommended it to me. I've never eaten it before." Lan Qiu Sheng replied with a smile.

In fact, she didn't know what she was saying, she just started mechanically.

This store was not recommended by the roommate, but was opened by a friend of Ding Yue's parents.

They chose this place to make it easier for them to do something tricky.

Lan Qiusheng clenched his fists silently under the tablecloth.

She knew that she didn't have much time left, and if she wanted to say something, she had to take advantage of this perfect opportunity.
