As he spoke, Zhao Jiancheng controlled the lotus leaf under his feet and slowly slid towards girl number 28.
"Good—" Someone in the crowd of boys shouted, and then there was a burst of cheers and exciting whistles.
Zhao Jiancheng did not back down. Even when the other party was likely not a good match, he did not back down. Instead, he chose to face it bravely. Most importantly, he also promised to be good to the other party and sincerely try to like the other party. He kept his promise and saved the boys' face.
The two lotus leaves gently touched each other, and Zhao Jiancheng stretched out his right hand. At this moment, his eyes were calm, and even had a sense of relief.
Seeing his right hand extended to her, Girl No. 28 lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
Zheng Longjiang in the distance cheered, "According to the rules, girl No. 28, you are now Senior Zhao's person. You can take off your hat and veil."
Girl No. 28's body trembled slightly, but she did not hold Zhao Jiancheng's hand. Instead, she raised her hands and grasped the edge of her hat. Her voice trembled and choked, "Are you going to treat yourself like this? Is this your choice?"
As she spoke, she slowly took off the hat on her head.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her face. Everyone was wondering who this fat female student who had forced Zhao Jiancheng into a corner was.
It was a plump face with fair and tender skin. Although he was very fat, it could not hide his former charm. His eyes were big and bright with tears in his eye sockets. He looked at Zhao Jiancheng with resentment as if he wanted to devour him.
Seeing this strange yet familiar face, Zhao Jiancheng was stunned. "You, you, you are..."
"You're such an idiot!"
Under everyone's shocked gaze, the plump figure of girl No. 28 actually began to change, just like a balloon that was blown up and suddenly deflated, the plump figure gradually shrank back and soon became slender.
The clothes became loose, the face became thinner, and the pair of bright eyes suddenly became more attractive. She was clearly a very beautiful girl. She looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. Her beautiful eyes were staring fiercely at Zhao Jiancheng in front of her, and tears were flowing down her cheeks uncontrollably.
"Bang peng!" Zhao Jiancheng screamed in surprise. His feet went soft and one of his feet immediately stepped into the lake.
Peng Peng exclaimed, and quickly reached out and grabbed his right hand, which was still stretched out and stiff, and pulled him up in an instant.
Zhao Jiancheng pulled her hard into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"You..." Peng Peng was about to say something, but he instantly felt the heat coming from Zhao Jiancheng's body, and also felt his tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Peng Peng, Peng Peng... Am I dreaming? It's really you, it's really you!" A tall and proud man was crying like a child at this moment. For a moment, Peng Peng couldn't say anything else. He could only hug him with his backhand, and the two of them cried together.
At this point, everyone naturally concluded that there was a story between these two. It was obvious that they had known each other for a long time, and even had feelings for each other. However, at the Poseidon Fate Dating Conference today, they reunited in this way and caused this scene.
Zheng Longjiang and Shan Wei looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They couldn't guess who the fat girl was, but Peng Peng and the others knew her! She was one of the school beauties in the inner courtyard. She had always been single.
Zhao Jiancheng usually keeps a low profile and doesn't look that good, so how come he's with Peng Peng? What's going on
After waiting for a long while, Zheng Longjiang coughed and said, "You two, please listen to me. Today is the Sea God Matchmaking Conference, a happy day. We should stop crying with joy. According to the rules, you two are destined to be together for three lifetimes. However, can you explain to us what you are doing? It makes our hearts flutter."
Zhao Jiancheng and Peng Peng then realized that they were still at the Poseidon Dating Conference. They quickly separated and wiped the tears from their faces, but at this moment, they seemed to only have each other in their eyes. Peng Peng raised his hand and punched Zhao Jiancheng, "Don't you want to find a fat girl? Go find one!"
Zhao Jiancheng grabbed her hand and said, "I want you, and no one else. You can't escape from my grasp this time."
"Hey, you two, this smell is sour! Enough, you two! There are so many single seniors here. You will have plenty of time to show off your affection later. I think if you don't explain, Senior Zhao Jiancheng will be in danger of being beaten up."
Zhao Jiancheng's mouth twitched, and he glared at Zheng Longjiang fiercely, then bowed and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone. Peng Peng and I were classmates when we were in the Foreign Affairs College. In fact, I had already begun to like her at that time. But with my appearance, how could I be worthy of her? I could only like her secretly."
"You you you, come on secretly!" Zheng Longjiang immediately started to make a noise.
"Shut up!" Peng Peng glared at him unhappily, then immediately turned to look at Zhao Jiancheng, who was also looking at her.
When their eyes met, both of them blushed.
Zhao Jiancheng continued, "In order to be worthy of her, I worked very hard to cultivate and improve myself. I always thought that if I didn't have good looks, could I make up for it with my strength? Later, we were admitted to the inner courtyard together and we were still classmates. At that time, I thought, I should give it a try, try to pursue her. There was no better opportunity than the Sea God Fate Blind Date Conference. So, at that Sea God Fate Blind Date Conference, I was ready to express my love to her."
"But who knew that just when I was about to express my love to her, something went wrong. In my excitement, I wanted to confirm whether the person wearing the bamboo hat was her, but I slipped and fell into the lake. According to the rules of the Poseidon Dating Conference, this would result in my elimination. So I missed the opportunity."
At this point, Zhao Jiancheng lowered his head in shame, "I was really too cowardly. After falling into the Sea God Lake, I lost all hope and even had trouble confessing my feelings. How could I have the face to pursue her? I also didn't have the courage to face her again. So, I ran away. I ran away to carry out the mission. I didn't come back until a long time later."
"When I finally adjusted my mood and returned to the inner courtyard to look for her and try to woo her, she refused to see me and did not participate in the next Poseidon Dating Conference."
"I'll tell you the rest." Peng Peng suddenly said. Her expression suddenly became a little fierce, and she glared at Zhao Jiancheng fiercely, saying, "You are just an idiot. Do you think I didn't know that you peeked at me every day when we were in school together? If I didn't have a good impression of you, would I let you peek? Are you stupid?"
"You worked so hard back then, and I also wanted to be admitted to the inner courtyard, so everyone was practicing hard and didn't have so many thoughts. I finally got into the inner courtyard and had the opportunity to attend the Sea God Fate Blind Date Conference, but you fell into the water. I really wanted to beat you up at that time. I thought that after falling into the water and the blind date was over, you would come to find me, right? But who knew that not only did you not come, you also disappeared and disappeared for more than half a year. I was already desperate at that time, you know?"
