Chapter 3: Chapter 2 Confession! School Beauty, May I Hold You?_2

Hearing the door slam shut with a "bang,"

she immediately realized they were now alone in the room. Gu Yu wouldn't be thinking of forcing himself on her if he couldn't have her, right?!

Lin Xinyue panicked, stretched out her leg, and forcefully kicked, propelling the office chair and herself backward: "You! Student Gu Yu! What are you trying to do? This is the Student Affairs Office building! There is a teacher on duty downstairs!"

"Uh… sigh, did you misunderstand something about me?"

Although he had already guessed the outcome, Gu Yu still sighed, looking dejected: "Xinyue, sorry, my request might have been too much, but this really is my only heart's desire at Haidong!"

Lin Xinyue remained vigilant as she watched Gu Yu but seeing that he didn't pursue any further inappropriate actions and his sincere and innocent gaze, the tension on her face relaxed slightly.

She might like him, but if he truly made any forceful, inappropriate moves on her, she would not forgive!

"You… really just want to fulfill your heart's desire?"

Lin Xinyue asked tentatively, not because her guard wasn't up, but because Gu Yu seemed genuinely to just have a simple crush on her!

This was plainly visible from the carefully prepared three-line love poem on the pink note and his recent embarrassed yet innocent gaze.

Gu Yu nodded: "Really… But since you're unwilling, senior, I won't force you. I'll leave now."

The ten-minute countdown was about to end in half a minute. Though Gu Yu felt regret, he also knew one couldn't force matters of love.

After all, she was the unapproachable school beauty! It would have been odd if she had agreed to his request!

Completing the check-in task would suffice.

With that thought, he turned and slowly walked toward the door.

Lin Xinyue watched Gu Yu's forlorn figure, her beautiful eyes fluttering slightly as if contemplating something.

A few seconds later, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she stood up and called out to Gu Yu: "That… Gu… Gu Yu? Wait a moment!"

Gu Yu turned around in confusion and before he could react, a fragrant breeze rushed into his embrace.

Feeling the soft and slender form in his arms and the tingling excitement at the back of his head from the initial contact, Gu Yu felt as if his soul had transcended at that moment!

It was warm, tight, with a scent that wafted like a gentle spring breeze on his face.

Wow! Is this what it feels like to be hugged by a girl?

It's incredible!

Gu Yu's hands didn't dare to rise and rest on Lin Xiaohua's shoulders, and he could only be hugged in a passive manner.

He definitely didn't want to do anything inappropriate and then have Lin Xinyue label him a hooligan, calling over the teacher on duty.

Tomorrow, his name would make the headlines at Haidong University!

Considering Lin Xinyue's status among the male students at the school, he imagined he wouldn't even be able to leave his dorm room without getting beaten up!

The delightful moment lasted for less than ten seconds before Lin Xinyue let go of Gu Yu, her head lowered as she nervously fixed her hair and clothes, not daring to look at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu watched as the countdown reached zero! For the first time, he wished time would slow down!

But in his mind, the system's voice was already ringing:

[Ding! Check-in task completed! Two thousand Check-in Points have been added to your balance!]

Two thousand points! The amount exceeded Gu Yu's expectations, as the usual check-in tasks generally awarded a hundred points per minute!

This time the points were doubled!

He gained an extra thousand Check-in Points on top of Lin Xinyue's hug! Utter bliss!

After all, he had already guessed the outcome of his confession. How could a girl like Lin Xinyue be moved by his hastily prepared declaration of love?

Though a bit disappointed, it felt like a heart's desire had been fulfilled.

Lin Xinyue, seeing Gu Yu's smile, felt her cheeks burning hot and quickly urged Gu Yu: "Okay, okay! I've satisfied your little wish now! You should leave!" Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I really appreciate it! Xinyue!"

Gu Yu earnestly nodded, and with satisfaction, he opened the door to leave.

Lin Xinyue stared blankly at Gu Yu's retreating figure in the hallway. Recalling her bold move just now, she quickly closed the door again.

Leaning against the door, listening to Gu Yu's footsteps gradually fading away, her breathing was rushed, feeling so embarrassed she wanted to crawl under her desk!

What on earth had she done just now!

How could she have thrown herself at him!

Looking at the pink cardstock on the desk, her gaze focused on the three lines of ink calligraphy that nearly seeped through the paper.

She admitted that she hadn't suppressed the impulse in her heart!

Because Gu Yu's words had touched her: She didn't want to leave Haidong University a year later with regrets!

Indeed! She had almost been at Haidong University for four years but had never tried what it was like to be in love!

Now, the person she had a crush on had confessed to her.

With mutual affection, if she didn't dare to try, wouldn't that be a regret in itself?

With that thought, Lin Xinyue picked up the pink cardstock from the desk and carefully tucked it into her favorite book, "A Dream of Red Mansions."

At half-past ten, Gu Yu returned to his dormitory.

Like the majority of university students, his roommates were intensely playing Five Kills Glory; none of them turned to look when he entered.

But they all heard the sound of the door opening.

Room leader Pu Tongren, eyes glued to his phone, said without lifting his head:

"Yu, you're finally back! Dammit, we keep getting matched with lousy teammates in trio queue! We definitely need a five-man team! Go call Wang next door, he's in the King rank, isn't he? Let him join us for a five-man game!"

"Yeah! This damn game is practically unplayable without a five-man team!"

"Go on, attack! Why is this tank support more cowardly than my marksman?!"

"Crap! We're wiped out again! What is the jungler doing calling the dragon at this time? Can't they see the enemy has vision?!"

Watching them swear and gripe, Gu Yu just shrugged helplessly. He didn't join the fray but took off his coat and reached for a towel to prepare for a shower.

"You guys keep playing! I'm going to take a shower first. When you're done with the game, everyone will have to queue for the shower!"

With that, his roommates didn't say much more, as their attention was focused on the next team fight.

Gu Yu showered quickly. By the time he came out of the bathroom, his three roommates had just finished their match. Perhaps because they had been let down by the previous game, they chose not to continue and each turned to their computers, looking for other forms of entertainment.

Gu Yu climbed into bed and lay down, looking at the system interface showing a seven-figure balance of Check-in Points and a greyed-out Exchange Mall, pondering how he would use them in the future.

Although the Exchange Mall had never been opened, it didn't stop him from selecting in advance.

After all, Jack Ma had said that some people, despite having no money, would still browse Taobao late into the night.

He wasn't without points, he just couldn't use them for the time being!

This made Gu Yu can't help but lament, when would the system unlock the mall? Even unlocking one item a day would be fine!

He had already decided that he would first exchange a thousand Check-in Points for a robust physique, as a healthy body was capital for attracting rich women.

Then, according to the circumstances, trade for a house or a shop; he had already seen that the Exchange Mall even contained properties in Modu!

Of course, the required points were terrifying!

A whopping one hundred thousand Check-in Points! It would cost him one-tenth of his balance at once!

But thinking about the land being worth its weight in gold in Modu, it made sense that so many Check-in Points were needed!

Imagining various future plans in his mind, Gu Yu gradually fell asleep.

In his dreams, he seemed to hear a voice saying, "You have earned one million Check-in Points, met the conditions for opening the mall, the mall is now open," and in his sleep, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
