The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 654 - 622: A Confession and Rejection

Ning Xiuyuan didn’t know what to do, his mind was completely blank at the moment.

When they reached the rooftop, Qiao Qiqi looked at the flowers and balloons everywhere, along with an "I LOVE YOU" light display, she frowned slightly, this scene was too familiar.

Yesterday Gu Shili had done something similar for her at the orphanage.

The only difference was that there was no letter light!

Ning Xiuyuan took a deep breath, walked to the long table, picked up a bouquet of flowers, and came back, kneeling down on one knee in front of Qiao Qiqi.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

????

Proposal????

"Ning Xiuyuan, get up!"

"Qiqi, I have something to say to you!"

"Whatever you have to say, say it after you stand up. People only kneel when they’re proposing. What’s this all about?" Qiao Qiqi was truly... at a loss for words.

"I’m not proposing, I’m confessing, Qiao Qiqi, I like you! Please accept me!" Ning Xiuyuan raised the flowers and said firmly.

"Everyone in the class likes me, why are you making such a big deal about confessing to me?"

"Other people admire you, but I truly like you!" Ning Xiuyuan looked at her seriously.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

"I liked you from the moment I first saw you. If it wasn’t for your help, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I might not have even taken the college entrance exam. 650 points, I didn’t even dare to dream of it, you made it possible for me... Qiqi, I really like you, will you be my girlfriend?" Ning Xiuyuan looked at her with longing, his eyes filled with caution.

Qiao Qiqi silently looked at the young man before her, every second was torture for Ning Xiuyuan.

"I’m sorry, I can’t agree to that, I can’t be your girlfriend either! Thank you for your misplaced affection, but I don’t have that kind of feeling for you."

Qiao Qiqi straightforwardly rejected him.

Ning Xiuyuan’s heart instantly sank to the bottom, like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, even though he was prepared to be rejected, it still hurt, he felt so disappointed, completely devastated.

"Why... why? Do you have someone you like?" The flowers fell from Ning Xiuyuan’s hands as he sank to the ground, devastated.

"Gu Shili confessed to me, and I agreed to be his girlfriend." Qiao Qiqi looked at him seriously.

"What..." Ning Xiuyuan felt as though a knife had stabbed his heart, he looked at her with hopeless eyes, holding back his tears, "If... I’m saying if... I confessed first... would you have agreed to be my girlfriend?"

"No!" Qiao Qiqi shook her head decisively, she couldn’t lie to him.

"Why? Why can Gu Shili, but not me? Why! How am I not good enough for him!" Ning Xiuyuan finally broke down, shouting hysterically like a wounded beast.

"Ning Xiuyuan, it’s complicated between Gu Shili and me." Qiao Qiqi couldn’t bear it and tried to help him up.

"Do you like him? Why? Tell me what’s wrong with me? I’ll change, isn’t that enough?" Ning Xiuyuan suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, clinging to it, tears streaming down his face. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Without her, he felt he had lost the motivation to move forward, he didn’t know what else he could do.

He truly liked her!

Liked her very, very much...

Whenever he thought of her, he felt joy swelling in his heart, he couldn’t help but smile, when he thought of her, he was filled with the motivation to study, when he thought of her, he felt the world was beautiful... these were feelings he had never experienced before.
