On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Just as Chen Mo was about to say something important, at this critical moment!

Su Yuqing suddenly turned her head!

She no longer gazes at the stars, no longer revels in fireworks.

Her gaze, like two bolts of lightning that gathered all her courage and long-accumulated emotions, struck straight and unreservedly into the depths of Chen Mo's dark eyes!

Chen Mo was stunned by this sudden and resolute gaze. He clearly saw the emotions surging in her eyes, more intense than he had imagined—no longer shy avoidance, but a desperate courage, a resolute breakout!
He didn't even see her movements clearly; he only felt a flash of light before his eyes.

A cool, slightly sweaty, yet incredibly firm finger, with undeniable strength, gently but precisely pressed down on his newly parted lips!
"Shh-"

Su Yuqing's voice was very soft, drowned out by the loud bang of another huge rose firework exploding, but Chen Mo understood the word from the shape of her moving lips and her eyes burning with flames.

Time seems to be infinitely stretched and stagnant at this moment.

Chen Mo's pupils suddenly contracted, his mind went blank, and all the words he had prepared and all his plans were shattered by this sudden, sealed finger!

He could only feel a slightly cool and soft touch on her lips, accompanied by the subtle trembling of her fingertips, yet containing the power of a volcanic eruption.

Chen Mo clearly knew that Su Yuqing had already guessed what he was going to say, but what did it mean that she wouldn't let him speak? Was it a veiled rejection? Or was she simply unprepared?

Just as Chen Mo was having doubts...

The next moment, to Chen Mo's astonishment, Su Yuqing stood on tiptoe!

Her actions were characterized by an unwavering resolve and a heart-stopping courage.

The soft wool shawl slipped slightly from her shoulders as she moved, revealing her beautifully shaped neck and collarbone.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling violently in the pink heart-shaped light, and then—

She pressed her lips, carrying all the love, dependence, longing, and courage she had accumulated throughout the entire semester and the end of spring, firmly and unequivocally onto Chen Mo's slightly parted lips, which were filled with astonishment!
"boom--!!!"

As if to accompany this earth-shattering event, countless enormous bouquets of roses, composed of silver and light blue flames, bloomed simultaneously in the night sky!

The petals, layer upon layer, are crystal clear, like ice sculptures and jade carvings, radiating a cool yet extremely romantic glow, which complements the pink heart-shaped fireworks below, pushing the colors of the whole world to a dreamlike peak!

This kiss was as brief as a shooting star streaking across the night sky, yet as long as it felt like it spanned centuries.

As Su Yuqing stepped back a little, panting, her cheeks were already as red as the most beautiful sunset on the horizon, and her eyes were filled with watery light, yet they shone with an astonishing brightness.

She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, but her gaze was clearer and more determined than ever before, fixed firmly on Chen Mo's shocked and speechless eyes.

She gave him no time to react or think. Against the grand backdrop of the interplay between the cold light of rose fireworks and the warm glow of heart-shaped fireworks, her clear voice, trembling yet incredibly powerful, pierced through the noise of the fireworks and went straight to Chen Mo's eardrums and heart!
Their eyes met, and it was as if an electric current was silently flowing between them.

In those familiar eyes, Su Yuqing saw her own small reflection, and also the unspoken, deep affection that was already etched into her very bones.

All hesitation and all restraint collapsed at this moment.

She no longer needed flowery words, no longer needed elaborate scenes; she only needed to say the most genuine words from the bottom of her heart, words that they had already confirmed a thousand times over: "Chen Mo! I like you!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it resonated in Chen Mo's mind like a thunderclap.

“No, it’s not liking! It’s love!” she said softly, but every word was firm and resounding, as if she had used all her strength. “It started from that stormy night when you opened the door and let the light into my world! It started from when you silently embraced my vulnerability and took care of me in every little way! It started from when we lived under the same roof and shared every morning and night!”
You made me realize that there are temperatures like this in the world!

Tears welled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall, and even a tearful yet incredibly radiant smile appeared on her lips.

Her voice was choked with sobs, yet each word was clear amidst the fireworks, like a vow etched into the booming background: "The word 'like' is too light, too thin, it can't contain my feelings for you!"
It has long since become a dependence, a habit, and... the kind of love where my world is no longer complete without you!

I can't pinpoint the exact moment it took root and sprouted, but by the time I realized it, it had already silently grown into a towering tree, impossible to ignore, impossible to suppress!

She took a step forward, almost pressing herself against his chest, and looked up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised, boundless longing for the future.

"I researched a lot of information and looked up a lot of strategies for this moment, but I later realized that love is not something you learn; it just takes root and sprouts naturally at a certain time!"
Please forgive my clumsiness. Even though I've prepared for so long and searched through all the information, I still don't know what to say to best confess my feelings to you.

At this moment, all I want to say is what's truly in my heart: Chen Mo, I want to spend every morning and evening with you, and I want to stand by your side rightfully, sharing all your joys and sorrows.

I want to go through all the ups and downs of the future with you!

I want... I want to be with you! Forever and ever...

Just as Su Yuqing cast aside all her shyness and panic, and poured out her long-cherished confession to Chen Mo...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light illuminated the eastern night sky! This golden light wasn't scattered; instead, it coalesced into a clear human silhouette! The figure of a broad-shouldered, sturdy man, outlined by pure, burning golden flames, was depicted in a posture of vigorous running. He raced resolutely along a sloping path of light towards the center of the heavens!
In the western night sky, echoing this, a cool, silvery-white hue intertwined with a dreamy pale purple, rising and swirling! The light flowed and converged, coalescing into the luminous silhouette of a graceful woman. Her skirt billowed, her movements light yet urgent, as she followed another sloping path of light, seemingly riding the wind, rapidly approaching the center of the heavens!
Two giants made of light and flame, one as blazing as the sun and the other as cool as the moon, crossed the vast night sky with unstoppable force and rushed toward each other under the watchful eyes of everyone on Azure Sky Island!
Just as they were about to meet at the very edge of the deepest part of the heavens—

A white light point, condensed to its extreme, bursts forth silently!

In the void between the light and shadow of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, countless fine, silk-like golden and silver threads suddenly lit up!

They intertwine, spread, and structure at an astonishing speed!

In the blink of an eye, a massive bridge of light, spanning the entire sky and shimmering with brilliant gold and silver light, appeared out of thin air above the vast starry sky!
The bridge arches, and the railings and bridge surface are clearly visible, intricate and magnificent, as if woven from the stars themselves!

At the very instant that this radiant "Magpie Bridge" was fully completed—

The golden "Cowherd" figure stepped across the bridge of light!
The silvery-purple "Weaver Girl" light and shadow drifted in and landed in the center of the bridge!
Two enormous beams of light and shadow converged with a thunderous roar right in the center of the Magpie Bridge!

At the point of convergence, an incomparably warm and bright pinkish-gold light burst forth! This light instantly enveloped and merged the two shadows in a soft embrace!
Golden and silver-white, pink and light purple flames flowed and mixed intensely where they met!
A huge, clear composite light and shadow of two people embracing each other replaced the individual figures, firmly fixed in the center of the Magpie Bridge!

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl crossed the boundless Milky Way and finally embraced tightly on this miraculous bridge of light!

Just like Chen Mo and Su Yuqing, who are currently half-embracing! (End of Chapter)
