Chapter 51

The male student was singing with drunken abandon from the bottom of the beer bottle, so engrossed that even his girlfriend tugged at his shoulder several times but he remained lost in his own reverie, gazing skyward...

"Classmate..." The girl tugged him the first time, her voice hoarse and low.

"Classmate..." The girl tugged him a second time, her pitch rising slightly.

"Classmate!" The girl tugged him a third time, her voice now completely unleashed. As the words left her mouth, the onlookers' jaws nearly dropped...

That voice, rough and powerful, as rich as the desert itself, so intensely masculine...

"Hey big brother, you've been holding me back without letting me speak. What's the deal..."

The seemingly gentle and lovely "girl" in the puffy dress suddenly changed demeanor. She gazed helplessly at the male student before her, tugging at her top and saying, "What kind of look is that, huh? Look closely, I'm a man, a man! Can't you tell at all?"

"What did you say?"

The male student's pupils instantly dilated, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Impossible, impossible!"

"How is it impossible..."

"Shen Yuzhe."

Jiang Wei's voice was crisp and clear. She gazed at him steadily, then suddenly smiled faintly, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuzhe was taken aback and finally lifted his head to look at her.

"You..."

"What about me..." Jiang Wei's expression remained calm as she patted his shoulder and said softly, "I told you, you lost the dare just now. No one forced you to confess your feelings. And this—"

Jiang Wei drew out the word, turning her gaze and naturally taking the ring from his finger before calmly putting it into her sling bag. "I was wondering where the Drama Club's ring box went. Turns out you, this 'acting genius,' took it. I'm telling you, your performance just now was so bad... so bad I could hardly bear to watch. Go learn from the club leader. Don't embarrass him."

"I..." Shen Yuzhe looked at Jiang Wei in confusion. He was about to raise his hand to say something when Jiang Wei cut him off, calmly grabbing his sleeve and heading out of the crowd. "Let's go back. The closing ceremony is about to start. If you keep causing a scene, the counselor might catch you..."

Shen Yuzhe looked down at the slender fingers tightly gripping his arm.

In that moment, his mind went blank.

The scene before him began to blur, like a dream. A long ponytail swayed lightly in front of his eyes. The petite girl walked ahead of him, as if her presence alone allowed the light to pour through the dark clouds...
