Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231 Meng Qin Expresses Love
As Qian Lei was nearing complete despair, soft exclamations started to rise.
Since he was standing in the back, Qian Lei didn’t quite see clearly; hearing the soft exclamations, he couldn’t resist tilting his head to look through the crowd towards the opposite side.
Amongst that group of girls shrouded in darkness, a patch of vibrant green lotus leaves shone under the lamppost. So vivid was the scene that all the girls nearby turned their eyes in that direction. Yes, one lamppost remained lit.
“Wow, there really is someone who likes him! Please step forward, you two,” Zheng Longjiang’s voice grew noticeably more excited.
In this round, Qian Lei was the third to face this situation.
“Meng Qin really didn’t mince words about you!” Yuanen Huihui looked at Qian Lei beside him with envy. He hadn’t expected that in such a situation, Lan Mengqin would choose without regard to face, to keep her lamp lit for Qian Lei. She had to face all the astonished gazes around her!
Qian Lei’s body trembled slightly, and surprisingly, he said nothing but urged the lotus leaf beneath his feet to slowly float forward. The male students in front made way. It was as if the girl stepping on the lotus leaf was slowly drifting out across the lake surface.
As the lotus leaf moved forward, the girl slowly removed the veils and bamboo hat from her head – unmistakably the charming Lan Mengqin.
The male side burst into an uproar.
People from Thirty-Three Skywing were fine; they knew about Qian Lei and Lan Mengqin’s relationship. But the other seniors from the Inner Court didn’t!
What they saw was a beautifully ethereal girl with nearly floor-length white hair. Before, they wondered what kind of girl would dare choose such a silly guy. They didn’t expect her to be such a beautiful junior. For a moment, they all couldn’t help but feel jealous. Could it be that acting foolishly could indeed be endearing?
Soon, the two faced each other in the middle of the lake.
Usually, they would be together almost every day for cultivation, having known each other for so many years. But when Qian Lei looked at Lan Mengqin close up at this moment, his forehead broke out in sweat. He suddenly realized that under the atmosphere of the Sea God’s Matchmaking Fair, everything seemed to be different.
“Meng, Meng Qin, I’m sorry, I embarrassed you just now, I…” Qian Lei stuttered.
“It’s okay,” Lan Mengqin shook her head.
Qian Lei was startled; he thought that Lan Mengqin would be furious, just like Peng Peng was with Zhao Jiancheng before. After all, Lan Mengqin was never quite gentle with him on a normal basis.
“I understand you. You did that just to show everyone your abilities, to prove yourself. That’s just who you are. We’ve known each other for so long, don’t I know you? Your show-off nature has always been the same, never changed. But that is also a part of you,” Lan Mengqin said calmly, looking at the tall but visibly jittery man in front of her.
Zheng Longjiang said, “Junior, you truly are broad-minded!”
But Lan Mengqin shook her head, saying, “No, the real fool in your eyes is the generous one. Compared to what he has done for me, what I do for him is so trivial. Or rather, I’ve never really done anything for him. Today, on the day of the Sea God’s Matchmaking Fair, and such an important moment for us, how could I get angry over such a trivial matter? No matter how others see him, in my eyes, he is just him, he is the best.”
Here, she paused, then looked at Qian Lei in front of her with a smile, “Qian Lei, when I was hesitant, you were by my side. When I faced danger, you were by my side. Even when you knew I had major flaws, you were still by my side. Often, my faith in you is even stronger than in myself. I don’t know how to speak sweet words, nor do I know if I can be a good girlfriend, a good wife in the future. But I feel every bit of your affection for me. Today, in front of everyone, I want to tell you, I am willing, I am willing to be with you. In my world, you are the best.”
While she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened, and Qian Lei across from her was completely stunned.
Qian Lei’s vision had already become completely blurry; although he had known before today that he would be with Meng Qin, he had never imagined it would be in such a setting.
It’s been seven years since he met Lan Mengqin. The sweet nothings he had said to her wouldn’t fit into a basket. Yet even after they had basically decided to be together, Lan Mengqin seldom spoke words of affection to him.
At this moment, Lan Mengqin’s words were not particularly special, nor were they sweet. But they were so sincere, filled with genuine emotion.
“Ah!” Qian Lei suddenly yelled to the sky, then fiercely embraced Lan Mengqin in front of him, with tears streaming down, “Mengqin, I love you—” he shouted with his Golden Behemoth-level loud voice, his voice choked with sobs, filled with endless happiness.
Lan Xuanyu was the first to start clapping, followed by thunderous applause.
Although most people didn’t know what Qian Lei had done for Lan Mengqin, her words already made everyone present fully feel the depth of their emotions.
The new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, the first pair to successfully match at the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking event. Witnessed by Sea God’s Lake and the Eternal Tree, they came together without regrets.
Qian Lei held Lan Mengqin in his arms as he left the stage, refusing to let go.
The first stage of the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking event, Love at First Sight, also came to a close.
“Next, we will begin the second stage, Falling in Love at Second Sight. In this stage, each male participant will face the girls who left a light for them to ask questions. The girls who chose them can decide to reveal their faces by lifting their veils during this stage. After the questions, those willing to leave their light will proceed to the next stage. Ladies, please pay attention, in this stage, you can only keep your light for one man. So, please make your choices carefully, as this will determine your final outcome in this Sea God’s Luck event. Let’s begin, please welcome the second male participant, Zhang Yuanrong.”
Zhao Jiancheng had already finished hosting today’s matchmaking event, so Zhang Yuanrong naturally became the first one appearing in the second stage.
Stepping on lotus leaves, he slowly slid out. Among the girls opposite him, only four lotus leaves were still shining brightly under the lights. These were the four that had reserved their lights for him.
Shan Wei said: “Each girl may ask one question, and during this, you can decide whether to take off your veils and bamboo hats. In order, Sea God’s fair maiden number six, please.”
The number six girl hesitated for a moment, and the light at her feet quietly went out. Not asking a question and extinguishing the light signaled her withdrawal.
Zhang Yuanrong’s expression immediately turned bitter.
“Next up, girl number seven,” the girl next to number six asked, “Have you ever had a girlfriend before? How many?”
Zhang Yuanrong hesitated for a moment before responding, “I’ve had one, but we broke up.”
The light went out.
“Girl number sixteen, please,” Shan Wei continued with the next. Two girls still had their lights on.
Girl number sixteen asked, “Do you still love your ex-girlfriend?”
Zhang Yuanrong hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, “I can’t lie to you, I still love her. Our breakup was really because of my stubbornness and her capriciousness. She has left the academy, and I don’t know where she went. I think I will never have a chance to see her again in my lifetime.”
