Chapter 217. There's a Nice Show to Watch
“I know that we’re not suitable for each other. In the inner courtyard, you’re considered a blessing. You were close to your eighth ring then. At that point in time, I only had five rings. Regardless of whether it was our cultivation or our future, they were too far apart. Moreover, we’re teacher and student. To conceal my feelings, I invested all my time and effort into martial soul research and tried to forget about you.”
“However, I couldn’t just forget you when love truly came. There was a point in time when I was especially despondent, and even looked down on myself. I was already trying my best to carry out my research, but I found myself thinking of you whenever there was a quiet moment. Your look and your smile when you were researching martial souls with me tugged at my heartstrings all the time. I had the temptation to look for you more than once. Nevertheless, my own feelings of inferiority stopped me.”
“It was only a year ago that I started to become more introspective with my feelings, but I knew that my opportunities were slowly slipping away. To keep pace with you, I tried my best to strengthen my cultivation as I continued my martial soul research. I hoped to catch up to you. It was only this way that I could complement you. Not long afterward, I reached Rank 60, and I’m now at Rank 64. Although I’m still very far away from you, I really don’t want to give up on today’s opportunity. At the very least, I want to confess to you. Even if I fail in my pursuit, I won’t regret that I tried.”
“I had actually hoped you find a partner in this blind date, and secretly wished you all the best in your endeavor. However, they can’t appreciate you. That’s why I’m being impulsive now. Maybe I’ll be expelled from the academy tomorrow, but I won’t regret my decision.”
As he spoke till here, he stopped. After that, he watched Han Ruoruo’s lost look, and seemed to muster his courage, and he said, “Ruoruo, can you give me a chance?”
Han Ruoruo looked at Wang Yan, who stared back at her. It seemed as if she could see into the depths of his eyes.
They weren’t young anymore. Han Ruoruo didn’t hesitate too much. She smiled and seemed as luxuriant as a fresh flower. Her beaming smile was extremely moving in this beautiful night.
She drifted down towards Wang Yan and extended her right hand. She said softly, “I think my happiness is here.”
The normally gentle Wang Yan couldn’t remain calm anymore. He was agitated as he grabbed her hands and said in the most determined way possible, “I’ll be faithful to you.”
