I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 178 - 174 Confession

Chapter 178: 174 Confession

Of course, there is something.

Liang Fan seemed completely oblivious to Qingran’s repulsion towards him, maintaining what he thought was a handsome smile on his face, and even took two steps forward: "Classmate Qingran, I, I really didn’t expect you to actually come."

At this point, Liang Fan even seemed somewhat embarrassed and scratched his head.

However, Qingran could tell, the smugness in his eyes couldn’t be suppressed, as if he felt that no girl could escape his grasp once he made a move.

Qingran quietly took two steps back, she was very concerned about Liang Fan’s current way of addressing her, when they first met he called her ’Classmate Li Qingran’, and after just a few words, it turned into ’Classmate Qingran’.

Is it that after a few more words, he won’t even call me a classmate?

Ha! Really making himself too familiar.

Didn’t expect her to really come?

Qingran sneered inwardly: How else could I humiliate you?

Perhaps because some of the plot in the book hadn’t happened, Liang Fan’s attitude towards her wasn’t all that bad.

It might also be because Qingran came to the appointment, he always had a self-satisfied demeanor.

Qingran didn’t want to waste time beating around the bush with Liang Fan and simply stated, "I came here just to know, what is it that you absolutely must discuss here?"

The young girl’s fair and delicate face remained expressionless, and as the distant sunset began to sink, she stood against the light, her body seemingly enveloped in a warm orange glow.

For a moment, it even gave Liang Fan the illusion that the girl before him was unnaturally beautiful.

"I, I..." Liang Fan stared blankly at Qingran, his lips moved a few times, and then he suddenly forgot what he was about to say.

Liang Fan kept digressing, and Qingran was getting impatient. She even thought that Liang Fan might not have asked her out for a confession as she had assumed, but rather to spite Xie Ying’an and her brother.

If that was the case, it must be said that Liang Fan’s schemes were quite deep.

Qingran slightly bowed her head, trying hard to recall the character of Liang Fan from the book.

She actually couldn’t quite understand why her past self decided to read this novel?

At least in the seventeen years she had lived now, she had never read any romance novels, even though Ruan Ruan had secretly recommended quite a few, she had never opened one.

What was the second male lead in the book like?

Just by Liang Fan’s quiet support behind the female lead Wen Shiyi, it was not hard to see that this second male lead was like those in many TV series; he would sacrifice everything for the female lead, as long as the female lead was happy.

And now they had a peculiar name—’sycophants’!

In the book, Liang Fan had made many silent sacrifices for Wen Shiyi, just like today, he asked Qingran out, and surely Wen Shiyi was also unaware of it.

In a moment of silence, it was still Liang Fan who broke the quiet first, looking directly at Qingran as if he had made up his mind, "Classmate Qingran, I truly have something to say to you today."

"Hmm?" Qingran mustered a bit of energy.

Liang Fan scratched his head again, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

Taking advantage of the moment he was scratching his head, he sneakily sneered at Qingran, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Liang Fan now thought: Li Qingran must have guessed that he wanted to confess to her, perhaps right now Li Qingran was feeling smug about her own charm.

Liang Fan guessed that Li Qingran might not outright reject him after his confession; she probably already had in mind how to keep him hanging.

After all, in Liang Fan’s opinion, aside from Wen Shiyi, all the other girls were vain creatures, likely to be quite pleased with a confession from a top-notch guy like himself.

Liang Fan coughed and placed his hand near his lips, continuing to speak: "Recently, those rumors at school..."

He paused mid-sentence, guiltily looking at Qingran.

Qingran furrowed her brows, truly disgusted by Liang Fan’s hesitance.

Seeing that Qingran didn’t respond, Liang Fan continued: "Recently, those rumors about me... ahem, about me liking, ahem, you, might have caused some trouble in your life, and for that, I’m really sorry."

Qingran glanced at the not fully healed bruise at the corner of Liang Fan’s mouth and chuckled lightly: "There’s no need to apologize, after all, it bothered your life too."

Li Qingmo and Xie Ying’an’s punches were harder than each other’s.

After all, Liang Fan only indulged in the useless enjoyment of speaking, but the actual pleasure of throwing punches was only felt by Li Qingmo and Xie Ying’an, and they both represented Qingran.

"I don’t mind..." Liang Fan smiled, took a step forward, and lowered his voice significantly: "Classmate Qingran, do you really think those were just rumors?"

"Of course they were rumors!" Qingran responded directly: "Before this, I even heard them say you liked Wen Shiyi; it’s unlikely to develop feelings for two people at the same time so quickly, so of course, what came after must be rumors."

The implication was that Liang Fan truly liked Wen Shiyi, and liking her was false.

Liang Fan appeared unexpectedly anxious when Qingran spoke like this.

Pretending not to see his panic, Qingran continued: "If you called me out today just to apologize, then let’s consider us even. There’s no need to forgive anyone. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be heading back."

Having said that, she made a move to leave.

Liang Fan got anxious, took a few quick steps, and stood in front of Qingran who was about to step out of the shade, "Classmate Qingran, I... I actually still have something else I haven’t said."

Qingran stepped back a few steps to distance herself and stayed under the shade, her tone light: "What else is there?"

Liang Fan took a deep breath, as if psyching himself up, "Classmate Qingran, whether you believe it or not, I have to say this today."

Qingran just looked at him, silent.

Liang Fan stared at Qingran intently and continued: "But before I say that, there’s something I think I need to clarify first."

Qingran nodded, seemingly agreeing to listen to his nonsense.

"I don’t know where those rumors about me liking Shiyi originated from, but, those rumors aren’t true." Seemingly to add credibility, Liang Fan even raised three fingers towards the sky: "Really, I swear."

Qingran feigned a mildly surprised expression.

Liang Fan got even more enthusiastic: "Because Shiyi has been my childhood friend who grew up with me, and since I’m new to City F, I don’t know many people here, so it’s inevitable that I appear closer to her in school, but I truly don’t have romantic feelings for her."

Qingran pretended to have an epiphany.

But in her heart: If I hadn’t read the original story, I might have actually believed your nonsense.

Having said so much, Liang Fan blinked a few times vehemently and decided to go all out and spilled the rest of his words—

"Classmate Qingran, the truth is, I like you. From the moment I first saw you, I’ve liked you. Can you give me a chance to be in a relationship with you?"
