The two instructors were also stunned.
They had seen many similar scenes before, but this was the first time they had ever heard a girl respond in such a manner.
"My goodness, Qin Tian, Nuannuan, is your high school classmate this fierce?" Cheng Meng exclaimed in astonishment.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan exchanged a glance, both finding it rather exasperating.
They had naturally expected Su Yan to refuse, but the forceful, even cruel, way she did it was something they hadn't anticipated.
From this, it was clear that Su Yan was indeed in a very bad mood.
As for Su Yan's statement about having seen what it truly means to like someone, neither of them had realized that she was referring to them.
"Su Yan, do you have some misunderstanding?" Li Xun asked, his face looking grim, still attempting to salvage his pride.
"Then consider it my misunderstanding!" Su Yan replied coldly and said no more.
Li Xun opened his mouth but found nothing else to say. A flicker of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he returned to his seat with a dark expression.
Following this, the atmosphere became extremely awkward due to the silence.
Apart from Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, who were more familiar with Su Yan, no one had expected that the confession from their perceived "Prince of Love Songs" would end in such a manner.
Many boys in Class 2 of the English Department who had a soft spot for Su Yan felt a sense of relief, and some even felt pity for Li Xun.
As for the girls, their feelings varied.
Some were surprised by Su Yan's individuality, while others secretly rejoiced, believing they now had a chance with Li Xun.
Even more felt jealous and displeased, thinking Su Yan was too arrogant and aloof.
"Let's continue, Class 1, it's your turn. Anyone stronger?" The temporary class monitor from the opposite side broke the silence, forcibly trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Is there anyone else who wants to perform? Seize the opportunity!" Qin Tian turned to the students in his class and asked loudly.
However, even those with talent were unwilling to go on stage in this atmosphere.
After all, if the mood couldn't be revived under such circumstances, it would be very easy to embarrass oneself. The difficulty was a bit too high!
"It can't be helped, then I, the temporary class monitor, will have to step up myself." Qin Tian pushed his knees and stood up.
Seeing this, the students in the class, except for Cheng Meng and Xia Nuannuan, looked at him with surprise.
The students from the opposing class were also somewhat taken aback.
Su Yan looked at Xia Nuannuan's blushing face in surprise, then immediately guessed what was happening. A wry smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. This familiar feeling suggested they might be subjected to public displays of affection again.
"Go, Brother Tian!" Chen Zhuang shouted loudly, cheering him on.
"Go, Class Monitor!!!" The students in the class shouted in unison, their spirits soaring.
"By the way, what is the Class Monitor going to perform?"
"I don't know, who knows?"
"I saw him whispering with Xia Nuannuan and Cheng Meng earlier."
"Look at Xia Nuannuan, isn't her face flushed?"
"It seems so. Could Qin Tian also be singing a love song or something?"
"A cappella? No way. Although that guy's confession failed earlier, his singing was pretty good. If the Class Monitor also sings, it might be a tough competition!"
"Who cares, anyway, we have to put on a good show. Even if we have to force our praise, we must. He's our class monitor, after all. We can't lose to the other side."
"That's right. Taking advantage of their class's recent embarrassment, we should completely overwhelm them."
...
The students of Class 1 of Economics had been quite pleased with Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, their temporary class monitors, so far. Now that their class monitor was personally taking the stage, they naturally had to support him wholeheartedly.
"The student who performed just now sang very well and played the guitar very well. I happen to know a little guitar myself, and I'd like to take this opportunity to sing a song for the girl I like," Qin Tian said, walking towards the opposing class's formation, his voice neither hurried nor slow.
The students from both classes were taken aback by this. Their gazes turned in different directions.
The students of Class 1 of Economics naturally looked towards Xia Nuannuan.
As for Class 2 of the English Department, some looked at Su Yan in the front row with surprise, while others looked at Li Xun in the back.
"Classmate, could you lend me your guitar?" Qin Tian asked loudly.
Li Xun frowned even tighter, his gaze fixed on Qin Tian with hostility.
"What's his deal? Does he know Su Yan?"
"Looking at Su Yan's expression, it's very possible. Did Su Yan like him, which is why just now..."
"No way, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"Then how do you explain him wanting to perform right after Li Xun, and also with a guitar? This is clearly intentional!"
"But I don't feel like it's like that."
...
The students of Class 2 began to discuss animatedly.
The two instructors standing nearby also exchanged low whispers.
"Old Qi, what's going on? Is he targeting our boy?"
"No, he's singing for his girlfriend, who is in our class."
"Girlfriend? They've paired up this quickly?"
"They're high school classmates. They both worked hard and got into the same university. It's the girl in the second seat on the right, in the front!"
"She's quite pretty. This is truly a match made in heaven!"
"Who can say otherwise!" Qi Hong shrugged, looking at Qin Tian with amused eyes.
"Brother Xun, don't lend it to him!" Li Xun's roommate, sitting beside him, advised with a stern face.
"But not lending it in this situation would seem bad. They'll think Brother Xun is afraid of this guy!"
"Indeed. What's this guy's deal? Is he really after Su Yan?" The other two boys chimed in.
Li Xun remained silent, glancing in the direction of Su Yan in front.
However, due to the angle, he couldn't see her face, and thus couldn't glean any information from her expression.
"Li Xun, lend it to him. He's probably not singing for Su Yan," a girl in front turned and said to Li Xun.
"It doesn't matter. You help pass it over!" Li Xun smiled calmly and handed the guitar placed beside him to the girl.
The girl nodded, took it, stood up, and handed it to Qin Tian, who had walked to the front.
"Thank you!" Qin Tian took it with both hands, thanked her with a smile, and then walked to the middle of the two formations, holding the guitar.
"For this next song, I want to dedicate it to my girlfriend, the only girl I've ever loved in my life."
As he spoke, Qin Tian's smile turned warm as he looked at Xia Nuannuan, who was sitting there hugging her legs.
Xia Nuannuan, blushing, gave him a sweet smile.
Seeing this, the students of Class 2 of the English Department suddenly understood. Many boys in the back seemed to hear the sound of glass shattering and their hearts breaking.
"My girlfriend and I are high school classmates. Two months before the college entrance examination, we made a pact to work hard together and get into the same university. And now, we are finally here together."
"For the rest of my life, I hope to accompany her wherever she wants to go, and do whatever she wants to do."
"Nuannuan, 'I Can' for you!"
Qin Tian smiled slightly and began to gently strum the strings.
