Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 575 Dreams and the Future

The confession appeared so suddenly before his eyes that Gu Qinghuan almost choked on the pita bread in his mouth. He quickly drank some lychee wine and forced the food down.

After catching her breath, she looked at Ai Ning in confusion and shock, while the latter remained frightened and did not move.

Duan Xishi hesitated, and asked "euphemistically": "He Meng, does he know that you like Ai Ning?"

"Huh?" He Meng thought for a moment, "Oh, yeah, I think I forgot to tell him before."

Yan Changming wanted to laugh, but felt it was impolite, so he covered his mouth, bent down, and laughed under the table.

Ai Ning finally came to his senses. He pretended to be calm, picked up the chopsticks that had fallen to the ground, put them on the table, then took a deep breath and said, "Now I know."

He Meng nodded and looked at Ai Ning expectantly: "So what's your answer?"

Ai Ning realized belatedly that what He Meng had just said was a question.

Officially dating after high school graduation? No problem at all! In fact, he had originally prepared himself for the possibility of dating even after college graduation, and now this was a complete surprise.

However, before figuring out when He Meng fell in love with him, Ai Ning still had a problem to solve.

His hands were flat on his legs and he sat properly. He was so nervous that he tried hard to stay calm, but unfortunately his breathing still sounded a little unsteady when he spoke.

Ai Ning said: "I have liked you since I was very young, and I want to continue to get along with you in the future. Can I date you?"

You can't forget about the confession just because He Meng speaks in such a matter-of-fact tone!

Although it was so sudden and unexpected that Ai Ning had no time to prepare, he still had to confess to He Meng properly, even if it was brief.

He wanted to face his feelings openly, tell He Meng how he felt, and get permission from He Meng.

For Ai Ning, even though such a process seems old-fashioned now, he still wants to follow it.

The girl he cherished filled the empty heart he had since childhood and accompanied him through many lonely days, but he could not take this companionship for granted.

The confession is both a confession to He Meng and a warning to oneself.

It was he who confessed to He Meng, and He Meng accepted his feelings. If he turned out to be a scumbag like his biological father, she could also abandon that corrupted feeling. The right to choose and the initiative were in He Meng's hands.

He Meng tilted her head. To be honest, because they were too familiar with each other, she was not too moved even after hearing Ai Ning's confession.

Or perhaps the content in the form was enough to make her excited.

However, this does not mean that she will treat this confession perfunctorily.

Having been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, she was so familiar with Ai Ning that she could easily tell from his tone and small movements how nervous he was at the moment.

And what weight do these seemingly dry confessions hold in Ai Ning's life?

He Meng was originally sitting next to Ai Ning. She reached out and grabbed one of Ai Ning's hands on his leg, raised it with a smile, and then clasped her fingers with his.

"Okay, the day the college entrance examination ends will be the first day of our relationship." He Meng said.

Yan Changming and Duan Xishi who were watching said: The food on the table suddenly didn’t smell good anymore, as their stomachs were full.

In contrast, Gu Qinghuan rubbed his temples and digested the system's message: [Ai Ning's mission progress has reached 75%, confirmed mission completed. ]

Gu Qinghuan: [This mission was completed really quickly. ]

Judging from the time, it's only the third day of school, and Ai Ning and He Meng can communicate with each other and solve the problems of Duan Xishi and Yan Changming. The progress is really fast.

System: [If the host had not changed the atmosphere of Class 3 since entering Mingde, the distance between Ai Ning and He Meng would only grow further and further.]

The study group of Class 3 has greatly improved Ai Ning's attitude towards study and others.

Especially the time when Ai Ning was persuaded to secretly treat Gu Qinghuan as his "mother", which made Ai Ning realize that if he continued to say hurtful words to others and himself, he would only make himself more lonely and no one would stand on his side.

After that, Ai Ning's attitude towards He Meng changed a lot. She no longer wanted to push He Meng away because of her self-disgust, but followed her own heart and wanted to continue to get along with He Meng.

Of course, there is no need to mention improvement in academic performance, otherwise Ai Ning's grades will only go downhill, and it would be a fantasy for her to go to the same university as He Meng.

What’s important is that he has the desire and courage to realize his wishes.

Gu Qinghuan looked at Ai Ning's red cheeks and suspected that if he continued like this, he would get heatstroke due to overheating in the air-conditioned box.

She decided to interrupt: "Do you want me to ask the waiter for a new pair of chopsticks?"

Ai Ning suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly wanted to let go of He Meng's hand, but she was reluctant.

Of course he had held hands with He Meng, and when they were young, they often went hand in hand to "get into trouble", but after they grew up, he stopped doing that.

He also fantasized that after he successfully confessed his love to He Meng and they became a couple, he would be able to hold her hand as a matter of course.

This was the beautiful dream he had imagined, and it was also the reality he was facing.

In the end, He Meng took the initiative to let go of her hand: "I'll go find it."

In fact, she was a little reluctant to let go. He Meng remembered that when she was a child, she also held hands with Ai Ning like this.

The child's palm was about the same size as hers, but it gave her a feeling of security and assurance.

I thought that kind of sense of security only existed in memories, but I didn't expect to be able to experience it again right now.

As long as she is with Ai Ning, she is not afraid of anything.

While He Meng was out, Yan Changming said quickly and sourly, "Congratulations."

Ai Ning felt her body was light and fluttery: "Thank you."

Yan Changming: I'm not really congratulating you... Never mind, I'll just have lunch.

Yan Changming turned his grief and anger into appetite and ate the food in big mouthfuls.

Duan Xishi waited until He Meng came back before saying to him, "When did you finally get the hang of it?"

He Meng understood immediately and opened her eyes wide: "So you already knew that Ai Ning liked me?"

Duan Xishi was speechless: "Not only me, but all the classmates in the class should know that he has shown it so obviously. You didn't know about it for so long, and everyone thinks it's outrageous!"

He Meng said embarrassedly: "It's because we have been together for so long that it becomes a habit. I didn't realize it at all."

She glanced at Ai Ning and explained, "When I was filling out the form, I realized that the way Ai Ning and I get along is exactly like the routine of a romance novel! What's more, the content he filled out also made me excited!"

Ai Ning couldn't help but turn his head. He saw He Meng's eyes were shining and his expression was so soft as if he was in an incomparable dream.

She said: "I also want to be with Ning forever."

This is definitely not an illusory dream, but the future he needs to work hard for.

Ai Ning thought this way, which was great, he still had a very long life ahead of him, and he could bring a better future than dreams to the person he loved.
