Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
Just like before, Lin Jiage still showed no signs of responding to the emcee’s question.
Thus, Qin Yiran could only step forward to shoulder the responsibility. “We both contributed a fair amount, but Student Lin did come up with more ideas than me.”
After replying to the question, Qin Yiran shot Lin Jiage a glance.
After which, the emcee continued to ask several more questions, with Qin Yiran still doing all the answering.
Even though Lin Jiage hadn’t spoken a word throughout the entire interview, it didn’t stop the students below from gossiping about him.
“It’s been a few years since Lin Jiage entered G University, but Qin Yiran is the first woman he’s gone on stage with!”
“I heard there was a senior who adored Lin Jiage almost to the point of insanity. In Lin Jiage’s first year at school, she fell in love with him at first sight and started chasing him around like a lunatic. Her greatest wish was to perform alongside Lin Jiage on the same stage during the school’s anniversary celebration, and so she begged Lin Jiage for a very long time. She even climbed up to the rooftop and threatened Lin Jiage with her death, but even after all that, Lin Jiage still wouldn’t budge!”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on Lin Jiage for a while now, and I’ve never seen a woman by his side before. I really didn’t expect him to agree to an interview with Qin Yiran just for the anniversary celebration. He hasn’t said a word so far, but I think this is more than enough to prove that Qin Yiran holds a special place in his heart!”
“The rumors on the school forum were right after all. First, Lin Jiage accepted Qin Yiran’s gift and then had dinner with her at the canteen on Valentine’s Day. Now, they’re even taking an interview together! There’s no way that they’re not together!”
“I’ve been thinking about the kind of girlfriend Lin Jiage would end up dating, but to think that it would be Belle Qin! Honestly speaking, she really isn’t as pretty as everyone makes her out to be. It’s all just make-up…”
Shi Yao listened quietly to the discussions amongst the crowd, not expressing her opinion at all.
“One last question: as fellow organizers of the school’s anniversary celebration, I believe the two of you must have interacted quite often in private. I would just like to ask—in the depths of your heart, what kind of person do you perceive the other party to be?”
As the emcee spoke, he handed the microphone over to Qin Yiran and said, “Student Qin, you can go first.”
Seemingly a little embarrassed by the question, Qin Yiran lowered her face slightly to look at her toes. A moment later, she raised her head and replied, “Student Lin is a very talented and gentlemanly person. He takes great responsibility in everything he does. All in all, he’s an outstanding individual.”
“Since Student Qin has spoken her thoughts, it’s Student Lin’s turn now.” The emcee handed the microphone over to Lin Jiage.
Just like before, Lin Jiage didn’t say a word.
It was still possible to get by even when he didn’t answer the previous questions, but this question was clearly aimed at the two of them… In order to prevent the atmosphere from getting awkward, the emcee could only ask him once more, “Student Lin, what kind of person is Student Qin to you?”
Still no response.
Just when the atmosphere was about to turn a little heavy, Lin Jiage’s lips finally parted, ” A confirmation through our gazes… 1 ”
Were these the lyrics of that song? If that was the case, the next line would be ‘I have met the right person’.
Was Lin Jiage planning to publicly declare their relationship right in front of the entire student populace?
In that instant, the world fell completely silent.
Qin Yiran shot a glance of disbelief towards Lin Jiage.
She had secretly added in this easter egg behind his back, so he’d known nothing about it in advance. Her purpose was to deepen the impression amongst the school populace that they were already together.
She had considered the possibility that he wouldn’t cooperate with her, but she still chose to make the gamble.
And now, it seemed like her gamble had paid off. Not only did she manage to get him on the same stage as her, but he was even speaking such words publicly…
Beneath the stage, Shi Yao lowered her head after hearing Lin Jiage’s words.
So, Lin Jiage does like Qin Yiran after all…
As this thought surfaced in her mind, she couldn’t help but grasp the ends of her long sleeves tightly.
It wasn’t clear how long the entire area was silent for, but onstage, Lin Jiage finally continued, “…she’s a person I don’t want to have anything with.”
