Bai Yan turned his head, still unsteady on his feet, when a fragrant breeze entered his nostrils, and reflexively, he opened his arms.
A delicate and soft body threw itself into his embrace, unmistakably An Xiaowan.
"Brother Yan is a big bad guy! Why did you only come on stage now? Xiao Wan was so scared just now!"
An Xiaowan’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears, as she felt like both laughing and crying.
An Xiaowan’s soft shoulders quivered slightly as she buried her face deeply into Bai Yan’s embrace.
"Yes, yes, yes, it’s all Brother Yan’s fault, Brother Yan is a big bad guy! I promise, I won’t let this happen again!"
Bai Yan comforted An Xiaowan tenderly, coaxing her obliviously to the surroundings: "Good girl, don’t cry, you’ll turn into an ugly monster if you mess up your face!"
"You’re the one who’s an ugly monster, you’re the biggest ugly monster."
With a chuckle, An Xiaowan laughed out, her pretty face with tear stains, rebelliously hitting Bai Yan’s chest with her little hand.
"Okay, okay, I’m the ugly monster."
Bai Yan smiled gently, holding An Xiaowan.
An Xiaowan leaned happily in Bai Yan’s embrace.
What did it matter to her that a hundred thousand people were watching them? An Xiaowan just wanted to enjoy the warmth of Bai Yan’s chest, seeing only him, no one else.
By this point, if anyone hadn’t figured out what was happening, they really must be a fool!
The hundred thousand spectators below indeed felt a complicated mix of emotions, with both envy and blessings.
"Wow! This guy is awesome!"
"Yes! Hurry up and make your confession!"
The excited crowd of one hundred thousand cheered on.
Performing a heroic rescue in front of a hundred thousand people, recklessly beating up a love rival—though a cliché tactic, it really captures people’s hearts.
After all, the hero saving the beauty is an act that never goes out of style, perfectly demonstrating a man’s bravery and sincerity.
Listening to the cheers of a hundred thousand people below, An Xiaowan shyly lowered her head.
"Bai Yan, if you’re a man, confess!"
"Hurry up and confess, we want to see a kiss!"
"Geez, you’re too cheeky! But I like it!"
Voices surged like a tsunami, the volume nearly lifting the roof of the venue.
Bai Yan’s voice was gentle, looking down at An Xiaowan.
An Xiaowan’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, too shy to raise her head to look at Bai Yan, her cute face blushing, irresistibly bashful, her heart throbbing madly.
In countless dreams, she had envisioned such a scenario.
In front of a hundred thousand people, in front of her sister, would Brother Yan boldly speak those words?
An Xiaowan was nervous, shy, and guilt-ridden. Although her sister agreed to her dating Bai Yan, it was ultimately a concealment from Bai Yan.
That even with his memory loss, he had forgotten his engagement to her sister, even if there was the slightest deceit in their relationship, she was willing to accept it.
She couldn’t be blamed; she had longed for this love for over a decade!
Bai Yan’s voice was soft but struck like thunder in An Xiaowan’s ears, leaving her dumbfounded, her eyes filled with shyness and surprise, her delicate body trembling and filled with uncontrollable emotion.
"What did you say! We can’t hear you!"
"Hey! Buddy! Are all you Hua Xia men ? Speak up if you’re a man!"
"The goddess has confessed her love for you, and you repay her with a mosquito-like voice?"
"Come on! Like a warrior! Shout it out!"
"We can’t hear you! Bai Yan, louder!"
Whether they were Hua Xia students or foreign students, all were frantically screaming! Constantly shouting!
This wasn’t mockery or disdain; it was a benevolent encouragement.
Come on, be a man, don’t run away from this relationship.
Give her. Your everything.
Take responsibility in this relationship, she belongs to you!
"I love you, An Xiaowan!"
Bai Yan grabbed the microphone, roaring like a beast, shouting with all his might as if to assert his ownership!
He blurted out these words in front of everyone, before all the teachers and students, in front of Mo City’s political leaders, without any hesitation.
"I love you! An Xiaowan!"
"I love you! An Xiaowan!!"
Bai Yan’s voice grew louder with each declaration, the huge sound from the microphone almost drowning out the cheers of a hundred thousand people.
He was proud, proclaiming his sovereignty!
Your goddess, from today onwards, is my woman!
An Xiaowan couldn’t help but cover her small mouth with her jade hands, tears streaming down like rain, sobbing uncontrollably. Her beautiful eyes were red, foolishly gazing at the man proudly proclaiming his boyfriend’s rights, her eyes filled with deep affection and love.
Nothing could move An Xiaowan quite .
He professed his love for you in front of so many people without reservation, what more could you possibly want?
At this moment, An Xiaowan felt as though she was about to be suffocated by happiness, to the point where even if Bai Yan asked her to die now, she would have no regrets.
Down below, An Yan was also smiling, crying, her beautiful eyes red.
Nobody knew the bitterness and sadness in her heart, and the heart-wrenching pain. Everyone thought she was crying from sheer joy because she was happy for her sister.
Nobody knew that the moment Bai Yan loudly exclaimed "I love you! An Xiaowan!", her heart had shattered into pieces.
She knew, from this moment on, she would lose this man.
Lose this bad boy whom she had always openly cared for yet silently worried about.
Backstage after the performance.
"Brother Yan was really awesome!"
"Haha, congratulations Brother Yan on achieving the ’Goddess of Conquest’ milestone!"
"Awesome, awesome! Respect, respect!"
Chen Yudong and others excitedly congratulated each other, their faces flushed; Fu Chao and others couldn’t help but high-five in celebration! Sincerely congratulating Bai Yan and An Xiaowan!
Nobody knew that behind them, Chen Jing in a beautiful evening gown, tightly holding the microphone, was silently shedding tears.
"Bless you, Xiao Wan."
Chen Jing muttered to herself, looking down at her fingers that were turning white from the tight grip, her heart full of bitterness: "I really envy you, Xiao Wan."
No one spared a thought for the unfortunate Li Feiwu, who merely played the fool, much like a fleeting villain in a stage play. If it weren’t for his appearance, how would the hundred thousand spectators have been so thrilled?
It is always at the last moment that people truly look forward to and bless the hero and the princess, just like in a fairy tale.
In a moment of such a grand happy ending, who would care about the feelings of others?
Beneath the enviable beauty, there are always some silently crying, despondently lost souls.
Two solo songs and Li Feiwu’s final appearance, along with Bai Yan’s heroic rescue and his brazen, proud declaration of love.
All this left the hundred thousand spectators fully satisfied.
The name Bai Yan would be deeply etched in their memories, something to boast about to their descendants even in their old age.
Undoubtedly, this was a successful university anniversary celebration, appreciated not only by students from this and other universities but also by Mo City officials and Mo City University leaders, who had never witnessed such a feast for the eyes before.
Fortunately, thanks to Bai Yan’s strong connections and Mo City University’s traditionally open-school spirit, this event did not cause any adverse effects. Instead, it was greatly publicized by some Mo City media, spearheading this as a beautiful Eastern love story.
This was a real-life Eastern love story that unfolded around the people of Mo City, and the reporters exploited the pitiful Li Feiwu once again, but that is a story for another time.
After the event ended, the hundred thousand student audience reluctantly left the Mo City University’s auditorium.
An Xiaowan and other performers were surrounded by classmates and some female friends, who teased and pushed for them to go celebrate this rare gala.
This was a night worth celebrating, with Bai Yan and An Xiaowan undoubtedly playing the leading roles.
Unfortunately, An Yan had some work to attend to at her company; she could only leave silently.
And Bai Yan also declined his classmates’ invitations as he had more important matters to attend to.
"You guys go ahead and have fun, I’ll join you later."
"Brother Yan, you must come, I’ll wait for you."
"Hmm, have fun, Xiao Wan."
"Hehe, Xiao Wan, let’s go celebrate! After all, your Brother Yan will be here soon, he’s not going to run off, why are you so reluctant to leave him?"
"Xiao Wan, you look like a bride who can’t be separated from Bai Yan even for a moment."
"That’s not true, Jingjing, you’re talking nonsense again, I’m not listening to you anymore."
Bai Yan smiled and waved goodbye to them. An Xiaowan was very reluctant, but she treasured her hard-earned status as Bai Yan’s girlfriend and did not want Brother Yan to think she was an inconsiderate woman.
The party dispersed, and everyone left.
Bai Yan lit a cigarette, took a walk around, his expression somber as he bypassed everyone and returned to the backstage.
At that moment, Fu Chao and two others appeared behind Bai Yan like ghosts.
Bai Yan asked calmly.
