Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 291 Ye Wentao's Confession

Before he finished speaking, the crowd below the stage erupted into a frenzy.

Cheers and whistles rang out in unison, one after another, never ceasing.

Compared to the usual dull atmosphere at Tsinghua University, where students are usually buried in their studies and immersed in the ocean of knowledge, this moment is completely different.

Just then, an enthusiastic male student rushed onto the stage and handed a delicate guitar to Ye Wentao.

Ye Wentao happily took the guitar, gently adjusted his posture, and then skillfully began to strum the strings.

Accompanied by a melodious tune, he sang the love-filled song with deep affection.

At this moment, he seemed to be completely immersed in the music, giving his all and releasing the burning emotions deep within his heart.

Below the stage, Zhao Zhaodi sat quietly, like a shy flower, her head slightly bowed.

Her beautiful, captivating eyes would sometimes gaze at Ye Wentao, who was singing passionately on stage, and sometimes shyly look away.

A faint blush gradually rose on her cheeks, like the magnificent sunset on the horizon.

Finally, the song came to an end.

Ye Wentao slowly put down his guitar, took a deep breath, and then looked firmly at Zhao Zhaodi in the audience, shouting loudly:

"Zhao Zhaodi, I like you! This song was written especially for you!"

This sudden confession was like a thunderclap, exploding in the originally noisy scene.

Zhao Zhaodi was stunned by Ye Wentao's bold and romantic gesture, and for a moment she was at a loss, and could only stand there dumbfounded.

Seeing this, some people in the crowd immediately joined in the commotion:

"Zhao Zhaodi, hurry up and say yes to our class monitor!"

Soon after, more and more people joined in the shouting, and the whole scene became incredibly lively.

In that instant, Zhao Zhaodi's face turned bright red, as if it had been roasted by fire, like a ripe apple.

Throughout the dance hall, people began searching, their eyes scanning the surroundings like searchlights.

Before long, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Zhaodi.

At that moment, she felt utterly ashamed and wished she could find a crack in the ground and disappear without a trace.

However, reality did not allow her to do so.

Zhao Zhaodi took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and like a startled rabbit, ran wildly toward the entrance of the dance hall.

Her steps were hurried and flustered, her heart pounding.

At the same time, Ye Wentao also realized what was happening and quickly followed behind, shouting continuously:

"Zhao Zhaodi, wait for me!"

The sound echoed in the empty ballroom, but Zhao Zhaodi paid no attention to it.

And so, Zhao Zhaodi jogged all the way to the school playground.

It's relatively quiet here, with only the rustling sound of a gentle breeze rustling through the treetops.

But her heart still couldn't calm down; it was still pounding.

After much effort, Ye Wentao finally caught up with Zhao Zhaodi.

He reached out and grabbed Zhao Zhaodi's hand, pulling her forcefully towards him. Caught off guard, Zhao Zhaodi fell into Ye Wentao's warm embrace.

Zhao Zhaodi was immediately filled with shame and anxiety, and struggled to break free from Ye Wentao's embrace.

Ye Wentao sensed Zhao Zhaodi's resistance and quickly released his hands, but his eyes remained fixed on her.

"Zhao Zhaodi, I'm sorry, I didn't discuss this with you beforehand. I just wanted to give you a special confession, a special surprise."

Ye Wentao looked at Zhao Zhaodi with a sincere expression and said.

At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi's blush had not yet faded. Upon hearing these words, she lowered her head shyly and muttered softly:

"This is so embarrassing..."

"Zhao Zhaodi, every word I've said comes from the bottom of my heart, really! I like you, and not just a little bit, but a really, really strong liking. So, please say yes to go out with me, okay?"

Ye Wentao continued earnestly. His bright eyes were fixed on Zhao Zhaodi, as if a burning flame blazed within them, intense and unwavering.

Time passed slowly, and Ye Wentao stood there quietly, staring at Zhao Zhaodi without moving, eagerly awaiting the answer she wanted.

After a long while, Zhao Zhaodi finally slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Ye Wentao's somewhat evasives. Then, she gently bit her lip and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Ye Wentao... I really haven't thought about dating right now. And my dad has repeatedly told me that I absolutely cannot date in college. So... I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request for the time being."

After saying these words, Zhao Zhaodi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was a little afraid to look at Ye Wentao's expression.

However, to Zhao Zhaodi's surprise, Ye Wentao did not show much disappointment or anger.

Instead, he merely gave a slight, wry smile and said softly:

“It’s okay, Zhao Zhaodi. I knew I might get this kind of answer. But it’s alright, I’m willing to wait for you until you graduate from university. No matter what, I’ll be waiting for you in the United States.”

After he finished speaking, the playground fell silent.

Neither of them spoke again; they simply walked side by side in silence, slowly pacing around the playground, again and again.

At that moment, everything around them seemed to quiet down, except for the sound of their footsteps.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wentao broke the silence. He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said to Zhao Zhaodi:

"So... can we still be friends in the future? I still hope that we can get along like before, and treat what happened today as a small misunderstanding, and just consider it as my lack of consideration."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and replied:

"Yes, that's fine."

Seeing Zhao Zhaodi nod in agreement, Ye Wentao felt a little relieved.

He continued:

"That's great! Don't worry, Zhao Zhaodi, I will wait no matter what. I'll give you an answer after you graduate."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Zhaodi beside him again, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

The two gradually sobered up from their tipsy state.

Zhao Zhaodi gently rubbed her temples, then said:

"Then I'll go back to my dorm to rest."

Her voice was slightly hoarse.
