Chapter 87 Confirming the Love Relationship
Lin Yanqing's voice was choked with emotion, her words filled with the pain of shattered dreams.

Lin Yao entered the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and gestured for Lin Yanqing to sit down as well.

“I understand, I really understand, I know how bad it is for you. But you see, life is like a long and winding journey, this is just a small bump in the road, a temporary low point. If you continue to be depressed like this, you will really be letting down all your hard work over the years and your own talent.”

Lin Yao looked at Lin Yanqing intently, her eyes filled with encouragement and trust.

Lin Yanqing remained silent. Lin Yao's words were like a key, unlocking the tightly closed door in the depths of his heart and plunging him into deep thought.

Lin Yao continued, "You know what? Everyone at the factory admires you. They think you're smart and hardworking, and you're a role model for us. It's okay that you didn't do well this time. We'll try again. You can continue to learn and improve yourself, and you'll still have a bright future. I believe in you, you can definitely do it!"

Lin Yao's voice was full of power, like a spring breeze blowing into Lin Yanqing's cold world.

Lin Yanqing raised his head and looked into Lin Yao's encouraging eyes, which seemed to hold a flame that rekindled the dying embers of hope in his heart.

A warm feeling welled up inside him, dispelling the gloom of the past few days. He began to reflect on his behavior these past few days, wondering if he had been too cowardly and too escapist.

Lin Yao's arrival was like a beam of incredibly bright light shining into his dark world, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope.

"Yan Qing, no matter what happens, I will be with you."

With Lin Yao's encouragement and support, Lin Yanqing has completely emerged from the shadow of failing the college entrance examination and rediscovered his passion and hope for life.

Now, his eyes shone brightly again, and this change was largely thanks to Lin Yao. The way he looked at Lin Yao gradually held a different kind of emotion—a deep longing and love.

He decided to confess his feelings to Lin Yao, so that the feelings that had been quietly growing in his heart could have a formal and beautiful ending.

Lin Yanqing meticulously planned this confession.

He chose a weekend evening to meet Lin Yao at their usual park.

In the park, flowers are vying for attention, some red like fire, some pink like the sunset, and some white like snow. A gentle breeze carries their fragrance, as if nature had specially prepared a scent for this declaration of love.

The weeping willows by the lake sway gently in the wind, their slender branches dancing like green fairies, as if they are gently gesturing for the upcoming confession.

Lin Yanqing arrived at the park early in the morning and carefully decorated the space under a large tree by the lake. He used colorful balloons and twinkling lights to create a warm and romantic corner.

The colorful balloons swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling of his inner joy and anticipation; the colored lights, like twinkling stars, emitted a soft glow, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

On the ground, he used carefully selected flower petals to spell out the words "Lin Yao, I like you," each petal brimming with his deep affection for Lin Yao.

With everything prepared, he looked around nervously and expectantly, waiting for Lin Yao's arrival. As the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky orange-red, Lin Yao arrived as promised. She wore a pale yellow dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze, like a delicate flower blooming in spring.

She walked lightly along the familiar path, and in the distance she saw the corner decorated with balloons and colorful lights, looking like a dream. A sense of doubt arose in her heart, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She quickened her pace unconsciously.

When Lin Yao approached and saw the words spelled out on the ground by flower petals, a look of surprise and delight flashed in her eyes, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Lin Yanqing emerged from behind the big tree, holding a bouquet of vibrant red roses in her hands. The petals were still covered with glistening water droplets, which shimmered like gems in the setting sun.

He slowly walked up to Lin Yao. His heart was pounding like a drum, and his palms were sweating with nervousness, but his eyes were incredibly firm, as if he were declaring his love for Lin Yao to the whole world.

"Lin Yao, from the moment we met, my world began to change because of you. When I was most lost and confused, you were always by my side, encouraging and supporting me. Your smile, like the warm sun in spring, warmed every corner of my heart; your words, like a beacon in the darkness, guided me in the right direction."

I've realized I've fallen deeply in love with you. Lin Yao, will you be my girlfriend?

Lin Yanqing's voice trembled slightly, but it was full of sincerity, and every word seemed to flow slowly from the bottom of his heart.

Tears welled up in Lin Yao's eyes, her heart filled with sweetness and emotion.

She looked at Lin Yanqing, the man who had regained his strength with her support, and her heart was filled with a surge of emotions. In Lin Yanqing's eyes, she saw deep affection and expectation, and she saw all the moments they had shared together.

"Yan Qing, actually I've liked you for a long time too. From when we worked together in the factory, to when I was there for you during those tough times, I realized that my heart was already filled with you. I want to be your girlfriend."

Lin Yao's voice was soft yet firm, like a clear mountain spring, flowing with the love deep in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanqing's face lit up with a radiant smile, a smile as bright as the sun, illuminating the entire corner. He handed the rose to Lin Yao, who took it and gently inhaled its rich fragrance, as if the whole world had become more beautiful.

Lin Yanqing gently took Lin Yao's hand, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes seeing only each other, as if at this moment, the whole world consisted of only the two of them.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, gilding their figures with a golden glow, as if nature were bestowing upon their love the most beautiful blessing.

A gentle breeze rustled the willows by the lake, making a soft, whispering sound, as if they were singing a love song for the couple. They strolled hand-in-hand along the lake, sharing their joy.

Lin Yanqing held Lin Yao's hand tightly, as if afraid she would disappear, occasionally squeezing it gently to convey his love. Lin Yao rested her head slightly on Lin Yanqing's shoulder, enjoying this tender moment.

Lin Yanqing recounted the nervousness and anticipation he felt while planning the confession. When he mentioned something amusing, Lin Yao couldn't help but chuckle softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as a silver bell, echoing along the lakeside.

Lin Yao also expressed her surprise and emotion upon seeing all of this. She looked up at Lin Yanqing with eyes full of love and said, "This is the most beautiful scene I have ever seen. Thank you, Yanqing."
