One more thing to point out, Su Jin’s senior, the ex-student council president’s name has been changed. His last name isn’t Chuan but Fu. Sorry for the error everyone (my mistake when reading the Chinese character), his name has been changed in both the previous and current chapters to reflect this as Fu Yanzhou.

Chapter 7: ConfessionA confession for Su Jin? Who could it be?
Shy?
Thinking back to the hand-kiss when they first met at the airport, Su Jin could not help but arch her eyebrows; to think that this man who would always tease her actually had this other side.
As she thought about it, irresistibly, she quirked up a smile. Instead of a fake one, her smile became a rather teasing one.
Her long eyelashes gently fluttered and in the wake of her teasing smile, the plum blossom at the corner of her eye bloomed. Her roaming fluid glance seemed like glittering ripples on a limpid autumn lake.
As he looked towards the direction of the voice, all of a sudden, Lu Xi became dazzled for a bit before he reached out and covered her eyes.
“Don’t look at me like that.” His low, mellow and rich voice faintly grew raspy. Feeling a slight itch on the hollow of his palm due to her fluttering eyelashes, his inky eyes darkened, “I won’t be able to resist.”
Resist? At first, Su Jin was rather annoyed by her sudden loss of vision. Her reprimands had yet to be said when she heard the words in her ears. Without reacting much to them, she blankly asked, “resist what?”
What won’t he be able to resist?
Hearing her question, Lu Xi let out a wicked chuckle. The voice was deep, low and elegant due to a deliberate effort to lower his tone which made it waver with a hint of hesitancy.
“Won’t be able to resist wanting to-” His expression lightly changed as he moved away his hand.
“-To kiss you.”
Alluring peach blossom eyes stared into hers, showing a trace of merriment in them.
Su Jin reacted instantly, her face turning rosy. From the depths of her heart, she felt a faint itchy feeling and was unable to suppress the gradually rising heat within her.
Forget letting out a sound of displeasure, and not to mention getting herself cooled down, to her surprise, she was at a loss for words. From her past life till now, she had never been teased to the point where she began to feel vulnerable!
Although she could practically be considered to be an older than average leftover woman, just because there had been no one to pressure her about it, she had never had any intentions of finding a partner. Speaking of which, in her past life, her looks were pleasant. Although it could not be compared to this body’s appearance, their eyes were especially similar. So it could be due to her indifferent personality and asocial nature that there was never any obvious suitor around her.
So for a creepy, suspicious and relentless rogue like Lu Xi to appear before her, this was her first encounter.
That’s right, the director, who was widely recognised by the insiders of the entertainment circle as an enigmatic genius, was now in Su Jin’s opinion, a relentless, suspicious, creepy rogue!
Biting her lip, she chose to ignore him.
It seemed he knew what she was planning, thus Lu Xi simply rolled his eyes and changed topics.
“As expected, my discerning eye was correct,” he lowered his head slightly. His drooping eyes glanced upwards to look at her crimson cheeks, “that hanfu suits you well.”
Staring blankly, Su Jin could not help but turn to ask, “it was really sent by you?”
Actually, when the outfit was sent to her, she immediately had a hunch. After all, among her acquaintances, the ones who knew she would be performing and could afford the price tag of this outfit- by her estimates, it could only be him.
Noncommittally, Lu Xi nodded his head and chuckled, “that hanfu, it’s the only one of its kind.”
O-Only one?
Su Jin was slightly stupefied and then bit her lip, saying in a low tone, “thanks.”
“Thanks?” Lu Xi arched an eyebrow, “I had to pay quite a pretty sum to get this made. Can such a gift be written off with a mere thank you?”
To have value without any demand, how could money possibly be enough as an alternative?
Her lips twitched and Su Jin glanced at him with a belittling look, “the clothes were a gift from you. I did not ask you to give them to me.”
A one-of-kind outfit, she was a country b.u.mpkin who had never seen one before. However, the original host was not. Su Jin was the eldest young lady who had been spoiled by the Su family ever since she was a child. She had numerous clothes of such calibre, how could it be as difficult to procure as he said?
Lu Xi did not speak and unfazed, that pair of eyes continued to gaze at her.
After a short while, Su Jin uncomfortably glanced away and muttered softly, “you’re just browbeating me for favour and seeking compensation!”
“So…” Lu Xi laughed as he heard this and with tongue in cheek he asked, “Jin’er recognises this favour, eh?”
That pair of peach blossom eyes moved lightly, it seemed as if they were in a dense haze. Combined with a deliberately lowered voice, it seemed to exude a kind of indistinguishable charm.
“Yes, I recognise, I recognise it.” Su Jin leaned away from him a little as if to keep a distance between them and answered huffily, “then what do you want?”
“You…” As he began to speak, Lu Xi was interrupted by a voice that he heard from the stage.
“Su Jin, I have been secretly in love with you for a long time.”
Now also distracted too, Su Jin looked towards the stage. A trace of faint recognition flashed through Lu Xi’s eyes as he too followed suit and turned towards the stage.
The fourth row was not far from the stage, so without relying on the big projection screen Su Jin could somewhat clearly see the person on the stage.
Dressed in a graduation gown, hm, the man was unfamiliar to her.
Confessing…
Su Jin’s complexion showed a little discomfort.
d.a.m.n, how could she have forgotten that the finale in the evening graduation party for Shenhai University was a confession event?
In the novel, this was a special tradition of Shenhai University. During the evening graduation party, as long as the person was a current graduate, they could go onstage and confess to the person in their heart in front of the audience. The recipient of the confession only needed to listen to it but not immediately respond. As it was mostly a final self-indulgence for these graduates, the couples that resulted from this event were not many. Still, this programme remained popular among many graduates.
Naturally, there were some people who went on stage to merely complete their university experience, so they would confess to the school beauties- for example, the man who had just done so.
In the novel, this was a heavily described story point as the female lead, Lin Xiyue received numerous confessions. The male lead was provoked by all this and boldly confessed to the female lead, using this chance to actually establish a relations.h.i.+p between them.
However, what made her feel discomfort was not this at all.
But, it was because of… Fu Yanzhou.
At this point in the novel, she was fully engrossed in figuring out a way to s.n.a.t.c.h away the male lead so she did not return to stay at the dormitory. Therefore, as a result of this, she did not appear at the graduation ceremony and Fu Yanzhou, wished to, but did not have a chance to confess to her.
But now… With a throbbing head, she soothed her forehead. The original host had always regarded Fu Yanzhou like an older brother and had absolutely no clue about his intentions. This was still alright, but if he really went on stage to confess to her, how would she deal with the aftermath? Avoid him?
On stage, there were already many others who had their turn and many names of the school beauties such as Lin Xiyue, Su Jin, and a few others had been mentioned from time to time.
Until it was the last person left.
Wearing the standardized graduation gown with a clear and handsome face that was framed by a pair of black framed gla.s.ses with golden temples, his presence was refined and gentle.
Fu Yanzhou.
Su Jin sighed, as expected, he had gone on stage.
Looking at the man on stage, Lu Xi’s inky eyes lightly wrinkled, yet he looked towards the girl sitting beside him.
As the outgoing student council president, Fu Yanzhou was also considered a campus-wide adonis so when he stepped on stage, he was given a loud applause.
Laughing, he brought the microphone to his lips and at that instant, the ruckus settled down.
Afterward, he lightly opened his mouth to say a name.
“Zixin.”
“For the longest time, I have liked you.”
Zixin? Xu Zixin!
The previous student council president was confessing to the inc.u.mbent student council president. At that instant, there was a large clamor which engulfed the audience.
Blinking blankly, Su Jin was surprised.
How could this be, did she transmigrate into a phony universe of that novel?
Arching a brow, Lu Xi ignored all the murmurs around his ears and bent his head closer towards the girl who was stunned beyond belief. In her ears, he spoke softly, “how about treating me to a meal?”
Su Jin had yet to recover from her shock and only faintly heard what was being said as she blankly turned to look towards the direction of his voice.
What was reflected in her eyes was a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes.
With pitch-black pupils that seemed to dispel the haze of the night sky, they were not blurry or unfathomable. On the contrary, they seemed to be reflecting the starlight of the heavens; they were unimaginably bright and clear.
The depths of his eyes once held a n.o.ble and aloof indifference, yet what remained now was a gaze full of glowing tenderness.
As if she had been bewitched, she numbly nodded.
