The boy went on endlessly about Joey's stories. It was obvious that he was Joey's hardcore admirer.
Fade, who had been listening all this time, fell speechless. He thought to himself, "As expected, my junior's personality hasn't changed at all! She's so lively, and she must have made a lot of people suffer because of her."
They went on chatting, and it didn't take long until they reached an old school building.
The boy said to Fade, "Here we are. This is the Department of Archeology. Joey should be right inside."
Fade looked at the old building crowded with boys, and the numbers looked to be gradually growing. Fade instantly understood the kind of attention Joey was getting at Capital University.
"There are so many people here. Is there a special event today?" Fade asked.
The boy looked at Fade and said, "Bro, it seems you are not a good fan! You don't even know that today is the day that Joey is going to publicly accept confessions."
"Accepting a confession in public? What?" Fade felt that he could not even keep up with his thoughts.
The boy said, "Too many people try to go after Joey. They would send her flowers every day to express their love for her which annoyed her a lot. So, to avoid this trouble, Joey had announced last semester that she would find a venue to publicly receive everyone's confession starting from this semester onwards. If you can impress her, maybe she will accept your confession."
"What —" Fade was rendered speechless for a moment.
The boy said, "After Joey announced the news, countless boys have been secretly preparing during this winter holiday. They are all looking to give Joey a surprise today. Even some outsiders are coming over to try and woo her after hearing the news In short, people are using this opportunity to win her over. Those who are rich will be throwing their money at this while those who aren't will be using other efforts to court her."
"Wow!"
Just then, the crowd cheered. A man's voice rang out, "Joey Chen, I like you, I really do. Ever since I first met you, I have already fallen for you. I—"
It seemed that someone had started to confess his love for her.
However, before the boy could finish his words, a cold female voice sounded. "That's it? Next!"
The confession was immediately halted, followed by booing from the rest of the crowd.
The boys who stood a distance away from the center of the event was not able to see everything unfold. They could not help but feel a little anxious about things and kept jumping into the air to find out what was going on.
Seeing this, Fade took the lead and squeezed into the crowd and said, "Follow me."
When the boy saw that Fade had easily squeezed into the crowd, he was delighted and quickly followed him. Following Fade to the inner circle of the event location, he patted Fade on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Bro, I didn’t expect you to be so strong! You don't look very buff!"
Fade smiled and examined the situation around him.
There was an old desk in front of the old building. Behind the desk, a girl whose hair was up in a ponytail, and looked to be around eighteen years old, was sitting on a stool.
The boy shook his head and nervously said, "My love for Joey is hidden at the bottom of my heart. I'm only willing to convey my love for her through secretly watching over her. I would rather be a big tree beside Joey, silently protecting her by her side."
Fade instantly understood what he meant. This was just another guy whose head was muddled with fantasies, but when it truly counted, he was nothing but a coward who was too afraid to act.
The atmosphere grew tense as no one had the courage to go into the spotlight for another confession. Joey drummed her fingers against the table as she announced, "There's no one else? Alright then, let’s call it a day. I'm going to leave-" "Wait, Joey, I'm here!" Just as Joey was about to leave, a loud voice sounded.
Then, a well-dressed young man in a designer suit emerged from the crowd.
As soon as the man came forward, people started cheering him on. People from the crowd began to discuss who he was.
Fade looked at the boy next to him with curiosity and said, "He is-"
The boy looked like he was gnashing his teeth as he said, "This guy is Lebron Zhu. His family is in the trading business in the southern area, and his family property is over several billion yuan. He is the rich kid who has been actively pursuing Joey."
Lebron stood up with a confident smile and walked towards Joey.
Seeing this, Joey said, "Oh, it's you, Lebron. You may start now."
Hearing this, Lebron dived his right hand into his jacket pocket and took out a small gift box, flashing it to the crowd with a confident smile.
