Chapter 926: Chapter 896
Lin Tingyu was thinking about this too. Guan Ziyuan was really good to her, and she knew he liked her, but he’d never confessed. Was she supposed to make the first move?
Over the next couple of days, Qiao Qiqi took the two of them around her school and they even sat in on classes at Jing University together.
Three days flew by and it was time for them to leave. That night, Qiao Qiqi treated the two of them to the most famous roast duck in the Capital City!
In the middle of the meal, Guan Ziyuan stepped out for a bit. When he came back, he was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and a small box in his hand.
Qiao Qiqi: "..."
It couldn’t be what she thought... right?
Lin Tingyu’s almond eyes went wide. She stammered, "You... you... what are you doing?"
"Lin Tingyu, I want you to marry me after you graduate. I’m afraid you’ll run away, so I want to reserve you now!" Guan Ziyuan suddenly dropped to one knee and raised the ring in his hand.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the girl whose greasy little hand was still holding up a duck leg, "..."
"You... you... you’re proposing to me?" Lin Tingyu was completely stunned. How could he be proposing when they hadn’t even officially started dating yet?
"I know the most important person in your heart is Qiqi, so I figured we should settle our lifelong business in front of her!" Guan Ziyuan spoke from the heart.
Lin Tingyu was so touched she burst into tears. She suddenly remembered that it had been his idea from the very beginning to come find Qiao Qiqi...
So he’d planned this all along!
"Wuu wuu wuu... I will!" Lin Tingyu jumped up in excitement and threw her arms around him in a tight hug.
"Okay, let me put the ring on you. We can’t skip this step."
"Mm mm, but what do we do about my hands being so greasy?"
"It’s fine. A little grease makes it easier to slide on."
What else could Qiao Qiqi do? She could only prop up her chin and watch the two of them shamelessly flaunting their love right in front of her.
After seeing the two of them off, it was time to record the second episode of Hello, Youth.
Seeing the three pairs of watery eyes back in the dormitory, Qiao Qiqi brought the three of them along to the recording again.
Qiao Qiqi glanced at Yang Xiaoqing, who looked like she really didn’t care at all that Gu Lizhe was going to marry someone else, and sent the three girls ahead to the screening room.
She herself went to Yang Xiaoqing’s makeup room.
"Qiqi, how do you have time to drop by?" Yang Xiaoqing still looked genuinely happy, like she hadn’t been affected in the slightest.
"About Gu Lizhe."
"Ugh, what about him? There’s nothing between us anyway. He can marry whoever he wants." Yang Xiaoqing said with a laugh.
"..."
"Qiqi, honestly, I did feel awful for a bit, but then I figured it out. Maybe I just don’t have any luck with men. One after another, it’s always like this. I’ve basically given up on men." Yang Xiaoqing said, sounding pretty helpless.
"That just means you haven’t met the right one yet. Your Mr. Right is still out there waiting for you."
"You’ve got a point. My destined one hasn’t shown up yet. Plus, I’m only twenty-three this year. I’m still young! I’ve got plenty of youth to burn! Why should I hang myself on one guy’s tree? Don’t worry, I’m really fine. Go do your thing!" Yang Xiaoqing said.
Seeing that she needed to get her makeup done, Qiao Qiqi didn’t disturb her any longer.
As she walked past another room, she heard loud arguing coming from inside. Qiao Qiqi glanced in and saw that some of the contestants had gotten into a dispute. Then everything descended into chaos again—it looked like they’d actually started fighting.
Qiao Jiezhe got the message and rushed over in a hurry. His expression was dark, but when he saw his little sister, his face finally eased a bit.
