Chapter 2910 Don't Confess Suddenly
Charlene obediently agreed and followed him downstairs.
There were many audience members, and almost every seat was surrounded by people, making the aisles so narrow that it was almost impossible to pass through.
Charlene struggled to move forward through the crowded throng, occasionally having to sidestep to avoid others, her steps appearing somewhat unsteady.
Seeing this, Shi Ye once again led the way, gently pushing through the crowd with his hands while occasionally turning back to check if Xia Lin was keeping up.
He patiently guided her step by step through the noisy crowd, finally leading her to the counter.
Their actions were quite conspicuous at the height of the atmosphere.
Those performing on stage, in particular, can be seen very clearly.
As Fu Jiale played his instrument, he kept his eyes glued to Xia Lin, watching her walk through the crowd and out of the restaurant.
His mind went blank for a moment, and his fingers trembled involuntarily, almost causing him to play the wrong note.
Fortunately, the piece was nearing its end, and the rhythm and melody were becoming gentler, which allowed him to barely maintain his composure and prevent the mistake from escalating.
Soon, the song ended, and Fu Jiale couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly explained to the audience, "I'm going downstairs to get some water, I'll be back in a bit."
Then, without waiting for the audience's reaction, he turned around and slipped off the stage.
On the other side, after paying the bill, Shino went to get his car.
Charlene stood alone at the restaurant entrance, waiting.
It was the peak dinner time, and the place was bustling with people and very noisy.
She deliberately found a relatively quiet corner, glancing from time to time in the direction Shi Ye had left.
As she waited, someone gently patted her shoulder.
Charlene turned her head suspiciously, but the next second, she was caught off guard and saw Fu Jiale.
Charlene was momentarily speechless and surprised, unsure how to react.
Fu Jiale's face broke into a warm smile, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you! I thought I was seeing things, Junior Xia Lin!"
Charlene opened her mouth, but found herself speechless for a moment.
It feels like suddenly meeting someone you met online—both familiar and strange, leaving you a little bewildered.
She never expected that this person would specifically chase after her to say hello.
In her haste, she could only manage a somewhat flustered reply, "Y-you! Hello!"
Fu Jiale quickly realized that his actions might have been somewhat rash and abrupt.
He quickly introduced himself, saying, "I am Fu Jiale from the Music Department."
He paused, then added, "You may not know me, but I watch every episode of the variety show you're on, and I really enjoy your performance."
Of course, the first time we met was actually on the day you started school.
You were looking for your dorm and seemed to be lost. You happened to run into me and asked for directions.
Only after he said that did Xia Lin vaguely remember something.
There was indeed such a little incident when I entered university.
If I remember correctly, wasn't the boy I met back then a ghost-wild boy?
The other person had dyed their hair an extremely flamboyant red, the color so bright it was almost blinding, looking like a burning flame in the sunlight.
His attire was also very rock-and-roll style, with studded leather jackets and ripped jeans, exuding an unruly aura. He looked exactly like a typical delinquent teenager.
His appearance back then was completely different from the stylish and clean-cut man standing in front of me now; they were practically two different people!
Seemingly able to read Xia Lin's mind, Fu Jiale couldn't help but chuckle and explained, "I lost a bet with my friend, and he made me dress up like that."
To be honest, I'm a little annoyed, since I left a very bad first impression on her.
Charlene then realized what was happening.
So that's how it is.
So she relaxed a bit and greeted him politely, "Hello, senior, is there something you need?"
Although she was polite on the surface, she secretly raised a line of defense in her heart and couldn't help but mutter to herself: I hope he doesn't suddenly confess his feelings.
You can just look at it online and forget about it; if you actually encountered something like this in real life, you'd be so embarrassed you'd want to die.
She couldn't stand that kind of scene.
Fortunately, Fu Jiale wasn't so abstract. He simply stated his purpose frankly: "I saw you eating inside earlier, and I thought it was such a coincidence, so I came out to meet you."
Actually, I just wanted to ask you if we could be friends and exchange contact information?
Although you can find out at school, it would be a bit presumptuous to add them without asking. It would be more polite to ask them in person.
In fact, he was very impressed with Charlene after she asked him for directions.
The reason was simple: he had accidentally injured his finger and was wincing in pain, intending to go to the infirmary for treatment.
Seeing this, Charlene took out a band-aid from her bag without hesitation and gave it to him, and earnestly instructed him, "Even though the wound is small, don't be careless, you must take good care of it."
Fu Jiale is a music student, and the dexterity and health of his fingers are of utmost importance to him, so he is especially grateful for this timely care.
At that moment, he felt that this girl not only had a pretty appearance, but also a delicate and kind heart.
Afterwards, he did have the idea of meeting her again, and even secretly asked around if anyone knew "a girl with a pretty ponytail, delicate features, and a particularly gentle personality".
For a while, his roommate would laugh at him for being obsessed, saying that one in ten girls in the school looked like that.
I don't know which one he was referring to.
Y University is so big that different departments are located on different campuses. With a constant flow of people, finding someone whose only vague characteristics you know is like finding a needle in a haystack.
After his attempts failed, he had no choice but to silently put away this chance attraction, thinking that he might never meet someone like that again.
Unexpectedly, he recently saw Xia Lin on a popular TV show and recognized her at a glance.
At that moment, he almost jumped off the sofa, his heart filled with indescribable excitement.
It turned out to be her!
So that's how they "reunited"!
Charlene was quite surprised by his attitude.
I never expected someone so enthusiastic online to be so polite, well-mannered, and with such a good sense of propriety in private.
Faced with such a sincere expression and attitude, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently and said softly, "We can add each other as friends."
Upon hearing this, the other person's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. They quickly took out their phone, scanned her QR code, and sent a friend request.
Charlene had just accepted the friend request when a short car horn sounded from the road next to them.
She subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw Shi Ye sitting in the car, looking intently in their direction through the half-open window.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of unfathomable darkness.
