Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Confession! School Beauty, Can I Hug You?

Gu Yu finished speaking, and without waiting for everyone to look at the message on his phone, he rushed out in a panic!

It was already 9:30 PM, and he had to clock in before 10:00 PM—clocking in itself took ten minutes! He had no choice but to hurry.

The others hadn't even processed what he was up to, but seeing him run towards the Student Affairs Office building, they could only casually complain about the teacher who called him so late at night before continuing on their way.

Meanwhile, Gu Yu had already entered the Student Affairs Office building!

His thoughts raced as his eyes caught sight of the activity room on the first floor, lighting up at once!

He walked into the activity room. At this hour, the lights were off. Gu Yu turned on the lights, took a pen from the large table in the middle, and then fetched a piece of colored cardstock from a shelf, hunching over the table to write and draw.

In less than three minutes, he had prepared what he needed.

"Damn! I pressed too hard and tore the paper! Never mind, there's no time, I don't care anymore!"

Gu Yu, in a flurry, took the colored cardstock enclosed in a beautiful envelope, took the elevator to the third floor, and quietly approached Lin Xinyue's office, lightly knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Hearing the response, Gu Yu pushed the door open.

Inside the office, a girl who was dealing with documents looked up.

Her skin was as smooth as cream, her face fresh as a peach blossom, her hair like a black waterfall, and her lively eyes sparkled under the light.

"Hmm… Gu Yu?

Lin Xinyue curiously looked at Gu Yu standing at the door.

It was so late, the Student Affairs Office had already closed, what was he doing at the student council office?

Lin Xinyue was puzzled, so she asked, "Gu Yu, what brings you here?"

"Well… Lin, I want to talk to you about something."

Gu Yu glanced at the system notification in the upper right corner of his vision. The ten-minute countdown had started ticking down from the moment he entered the office.

He slowly sat down opposite Lin Xinyue. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hmm?" Lin Xinyue looked puzzled.

"If I don't clarify this matter before you graduate, it will be my greatest regret at Haidong! It might even become the biggest knot in my heart for the rest of my life!"

Gu Yu babbled on, but his eyes were earnestly fixed on Lin Xinyue.

Glancing at the time, only nine minutes were left.

But he didn't care about that now; he had to take this chance to genuinely reveal his feelings.

He indeed had liked Lin Xinyue for a long time. During his work-study time at the Student Affairs Office, she had given him plenty of considerate help.

Only he knew that this school beauty, who appeared unapproachable on the outside, was actually warm-hearted on the inside—who wouldn't like someone beautiful and kind?

"Hmm?!! That exaggerated?" Lin Xinyue was taken aback, her pretty arched eyebrows rising slightly.

Now that the conversation was underway, Gu Yu looked at Lin Xinyue through the countdown timer, his eyes conveying a sincere gaze.

He extended his hastily prepared colored cardstock to Lin Xinyue with both hands.

"Lin, I'm not very good at expressing my feelings with words, everything I want to say to you is on this cardstock! Please take it!"

Lin Xinyue looked at the pink cardstock in front of her, hesitated for a moment, but still took it. On it were neatly written three lines.

"

The galaxy, suspended in the deep night sky above our heads,

The cool autumn breeze lifts the plane tree leaves from the ground, like a cradle carrying the stars,

Suddenly, I just really want to be with you.

"

Lin Xinyue slowly read the three lines of poetry, grasping their meaning, and felt a sudden tremor in her heart. She looked at Gu Yu, stunned, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Gu Yu sat opposite, watching Lin Xinyue, then checking the countdown timer.

There were only five minutes left! Three hundred seconds! Just get this over with and he could leave!

Gu Yu felt so nervous that his two big thumbs were almost tearing through the soles of his shoes and gouging holes in the floor.

Please! Let time move a bit faster.

Lin Xinyue will definitely reject me, just let me die quickly!

But wouldn't it be embarrassing to be rejected so straightforwardly?

I need to come up with some clever lines to ease the embarrassment of the impending rejection!

The next second, Gu Yu stood up, walked to the door, and locked the office door to prevent anyone from seeing this scene.

Then he walked around the desk to stand in front of Lin Xinyue, lowered his head, and spoke with deep emotion, "Xinyue, the reason I mustered the courage to confess to you today is that I don't want to leave Haidong University a year from now filled with regrets!"

"Everyone knows there's no such thing as a potion for regret, so why not take a brave chance while you're still at Haidong? I don't dare to hope for a relationship, but could you fulfill one small request before you leave?"

Lin Xinyue looked wary but still asked with confusion, "Um… What request?"

Gu Yu blinked, his eyes innocent as he said, "Xinyue, can I hug you once?"

Lin Xinyue was at a loss, staring at Gu Yu's longing gaze, not sure how to respond.

She had actually always had a positive impression of Gu Yu.

During their two years of interaction, his diligence, positivity, and sunny smile touched her countless times, causing her to wonder if, in fact, she had started to like Gu Yu.

But because she was both Gu Yu's senior and the student council president, she couldn't let go of her status.

So, she buried this matter in her heart, downplaying it as an illusion caused by her single status.

Yet every time Gu Yu faced a problem, she would proactively help solve it…

Even she didn't know that among the whole Student Affairs Office, it was Gu Yu who was the closest to her!
