1109 AH JIN'S FINAL CONFESSION

LUO JIN'S lips curled into a helpless smile. "How could that be, when that's the reason I'm here?"

"Well, since you didn't do it the moment you saw me earlier, I thought you have forgotten it," Su Yuqi said with a shrug, her tone obviously teasing. "So, did you bring a gift?"

"Of course. There's no way I wouldn't." After saying that, Luo Jin took out a small box from the pocket of his pants and gave it to Su Yuqi. "I hope you'll like it."

Su Yuqi accepted the box and stared at it. "Don't worry, I'm not so fussy. As long as it's not something disgusting, there's a high chance I will like it. Can I open it now?"

Luo Jin looked at the side, then scratched his cheek, a hint of of red appearing. "Sure, go ahead."

Su Yuqi untied the ribbon and opened the small box. Inside was a keychain, but not just any keychain—it was a miniature version of her motorcycle. What made it special was the chibi version of her game avatar riding on it, with the chibi version of Luo Jin's game avatar behind hers.

"You can use it as a keychain for your motorcycle key," Luo Jin said when Su Yuqi didn't say anything after opening the box. As she continued to stare at it for quite some time, Luo Jin started to feel nervous. "Um, do you not like it?"

Su Yuqi lifted her head, a bright smile appearing on her face. "I love it." She closed the box containing the keychain and carefully put it in her pocket. "Thank you, Ah Jin."

Luo Jin let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad."

They continued to stroll along the winding path of the park. Above them, cherry blossoms painted the sky with delicate shades of pink and white, their petals fluttering gently in the breeze. Sunlight filtered through the canopy of blossoms, creating a dappled pattern of light and shadow on the ground below. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, carrying with it a sense of renewal and hope. Birds chirped melodiously from the branches, adding to the symphony of nature that surrounded them.

The beauty of the surroundings brought calm to Luo Jin. He glanced at Su Yuqi walking beside him. With the beautiful backdrop, she looked even more captivating. Suddenly, she turned to him, as if sensing his gaze. With a raised brow, she seemed to ask if he had something to say. In that moment, a surge of courage filled his heart.

And he just found himself saying;

"I love you."

Su Yuqi stopped walking, obviously surprised. Then a big smile crossed her lips. "It's nice to hear you say it directly."

Luo Jin blinked. He didn't expect that kind of reaction. Or should he say, the lack of reaction? He ran after the other. "Wait, Yuqi! That's it?"

Su Yuqi stopped again and turned around to face Luo Jin. "I really wanted to say the same thing, but my feelings for you haven't reached that point yet. If you're willing to wait for me, maybe you'll hear what you wanted to hear in the near future. So, are you willing to wait?"

"I'll wait! Of course I'll wait. No matter how long it takes!" Luo Jin said without any hesitation.

"Are you sure? You might get tired, though."

Luo Jin gritted his teeth. It felt like Su Yuqi was testing him. But he was not here to get a 'full score'. He'd rather say the harsh truth than tell sweet lies. It's his way to show his respect to Su Yuqi, and to himself as well.

"Yes, there might be days when I feel tired. After all, I'm only human. I can get impatient and frustrated. But that doesn't mean I'll give up. Like I've told you before, my feelings for you aren't that shallow. If I have to wait four or five years for you, I will. Just... don't let it be ten; even I have my limits."

It would be good to not have any rivals as well. But that's not something Luo Jin could control. After all, it's only natural for Su Yuqi to be liked by other people.

"Don't worry, I won't let you wait that long. If I did, then I'm nothing more than a gaslighting scum," Su Yuqi said in a playful voice.

"Well, I wouldn't call you that..."

Su Yuqi chuckled. Then she reached out and held Luo Jin's hand. Before Luo Jin could react, Su Yuqi suddenly lifted his hand and kissed his knuckles. Her gesture caught him off guard, and he could feel his heart skip a beat.

"Thank you for your honesty, Ah Jin," Su Yuqi said with a rakish grin. "You just made my birthday very happy."

Luo Jin could feel his whole face heating up. His heart raced as he struggled to compose himself in front of Su Yuqi. Her unexpected affectionate gesture left him pleasantly flustered, yet he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy deep within him. He wanted to say something, to express how he felt, but the words seemed to escape him in that moment.

At the end, all he could say was, "I will do the same for your birthday next year, and the year after that, and all the years to come."

Su Yuqi let out a soft laugh, clearly liking the response. "Then I'm looking forward to it."

Two weeks later...

Luo Yan woke up at exactly six in the morning. Since he had gone to bed early the night before, he felt very refreshed. After doing 20 minutes of yoga, he took a bath and dressed in comfortable casual clothes: a white t-shirt paired with brown cargo shorts and sneakers. Then he put on an analog watch.

He checked the contents of his backpack once again. His pencil case that had pens, pencils and eraser were there. His calculator, and his ID card. And, of course, the most important thing, his admission ticket.

He picked up his bag and went out of the room. Today was finally the start of the college entrance examination.

It's the time for YanYan's college entrance examination! (?′ヮ`)?*: ??
