Chu Ge silently stood up from the chair. His expression no longer carried helplessness, nor was it as playful as in the past. His gaze, unprecedentedly deep and gentle, met Qin Ruojing's eyes, as he slowly walked towards her, step by step.

Seeing Chu Ge like this, Qin Ruojing's once confident demeanor quickly became somewhat flustered, reminiscent of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Although Chu Ge walked very slowly, the distance from the computer chair to the sofa was merely a few steps. In just a few seconds, Chu Ge was standing in front of Qin Ruojing.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Being stared at by Chu Ge's gaze up close now, Qin Ruojing felt incredibly uneasy, her body slightly leaning back. She couldn't help but stutteringly ask.

With a face and eyes full of deep affection, Chu Ge softly said in a dreamy tone, "Jingjing, did you know? Hearing you say those words felt like I was dreaming. I... I'm really too happy. If this truly is a dream, I would rather never wake up."

Qin Ruojing's pupils contracted; she involuntarily shivered, and goosebumps appeared instantly. Her already large eyes widened further, her eye corners twitched twice; her expression was full of surprise and fear, devoid of composure.

"Jingjing, do you believe in love at first sight? Actually, before meeting you, I did not believe in it, but when I met you among the vast crowd, at the moment I saw you, my entire world suddenly shifted from darkness to brightness, and I finally believed that love at first sight truly exists."

As Chu Ge's enchanting voice continued, Qin Ruojing's face grew paler, and the terror in her gaze intensified. She wanted to say something, but in her shock, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Jingjing, actually, during the time pretending to be your boyfriend, happiness could no longer describe my feelings. Your every smile and frown makes me so infatuated. Yet, beautiful times are always short, and they quickly ended, even though I was so reluctant, it still ended."

"Jingjing, did you know? During this time, I've been thinking about you constantly, losing my appetite and sleep. Each time I close my eyes, all I see in my mind are images with you, all of your smiles and expressions. I really want to use a song to express my feelings. Now it's great, realizing you have similar feelings for me, I can finally sing it to you."

Watching Chu Ge's affectionate expression and hearing those cheesy words, Qin Ruojing felt on the verge of collapsing, a chill running through her body, almost having the impulse to flee from here immediately.

Unfortunately, as she just tried to stand up, Chu Ge placed his hands on her shoulders; then he began to sing.

"Tonight's stars are few; don't know where they've gone... I miss your smile, miss your coat, miss your white socks, and the scent on you..."

Chu Ge sang beautifully, his voice full of magnetism, but Qin Ruojing felt her scalp tingling, her entire body shivering, as if a cool breeze ran from the back of her head down to her heels.

"I... I, you..."

Qin Ruojing finally managed to say a few words, but Chu Ge extended a finger, touching her lips.

"Jingjing, I've always been afraid to confess to you, realizing I thought I wasn't good enough for you, believing my feelings were merely an unrealistic dream. But today, knowing your feelings, I've finally gathered the courage to say those three words to you, Jingjing... I..."

As he spoke, Chu Ge slowly leaned his head forward, closing his eyes, seemingly intending to kiss Qin Ruojing's red lips.

"Enough! Don't say anymore!"

Seeing their lips closing in, Qin Ruojing suddenly pushed against Chu Ge's chest, leaping up from the sofa. As he staggered back a few steps, she rushed towards the door.

Qin Ruojing was genuinely scared by Chu Ge, fumbling with the door handle. The door, clearly meant to be pulled inward, she kept pushing outward, of course with all her strength, it wouldn't open.

Inside, Chu Ge secretly chuckled, outwardly maintaining a melancholic expression, swiftly chasing Qin Ruojing within a few strides, catching her other hand.

"Jingjing, what... what are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to be with me? Why are you running away?"

Upon being grabbed, Qin Ruojing startled again, vigorously shaking his hand off, letting out a scream, stumbling to another side, facing Chu Ge while constantly retreating, "You... don't come over."

Chu Ge, with a face of confusion, walked two more steps towards Qin Ruojing, then suddenly paused, biting his lip in pain, softly saying, "I... understand. So, you were indeed lying to me. You never really wanted to be with me. I'm sorry, it's my fault for being overconfident and delusional. Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore."

After speaking, Chu Ge sighed desolately, turning around, forcibly suppressing his urge to laugh out loud, stumbling as if severely hit, and opened the door to walk out.

Hearing the "click" of the door, Qin Ruojing shivered again, terrified, and plopped down on the bed. It took a full four or five minutes before she cautiously tiptoed to the door, pressing her ear against it to listen carefully to the sounds outside.

Not hearing anything, Qin Ruojing opened the door a crack and looked both ways down the corridor, ensuring there was no sign of Chu Ge, before she dashed out of the room. She initially wanted to knock on Tong Yaqi's room door but feared the noise would attract Chu Ge, so she quickly slipped back into her room and dialed Tong Yaqi's phone.

"Yaqi sis, hurry over to my room!"

Tong Yaqi originally intended to tease Qin Ruojing a bit, but as soon as she answered the call, she heard Qin Ruojing's voice full of terror, hesitated briefly, and quickly arrived at Qin Ruojing's room door.

Seeing Tong Yaqi through the crack in the door, Qin Ruojing finally found her anchor, hurriedly let Tong Yaqi inside, and then slammed the door shut, her back pressed tightly against it, her legs a bit weak, and her chest heaving violently.

"Chairman, what's wrong with you? What scared you like this? That guy wouldn't be trying to get into your bed, would he?" Tong Yaqi asked with a puzzled look at Qin Ruojing.

Qin Ruojing took a deep breath, brushed her chest with her right hand, shook her head, and said, "No, no, it's a thousand times scarier than that! He... he actually confessed to me! And even sang to me, it was terrifying, truly terrifying!"

"Huh? Seriously?"

"How could it not be? You didn't see how he looked at that time, it was so cheesy, so disgusting!" Qin Ruojing shuddered again, speaking with lingering fear.

Tong Yaqi blinked, took Qin Ruojing's hand, and led her to sit on the couch, "What's going on? Tell me carefully."

Qin Ruojing called Tong Yaqi over to discuss the matter, so she didn't have anything to hide, recounting the situation in detail.

As Qin Ruojing recounted the story, Tong Yaqi's slightly furrowed brows upon entering completely relaxed, imagining the scene, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking it more funny the deeper she reflected, her stomach even beginning to ache from laughing.

"Yaqi sis! I'm scared to death by him; you're not helping me, why are you laughing?"

Seeing Qin Ruojing's face full of grievance and complaint, Tong Yaqi barely managed to stop laughing, straightening up on the sofa while rubbing her forehead, "My dear chairman, it seems you haven't completely overcome your psychological barrier, you've fallen for Chu Ge's trick again."

"I've... fallen for his trick again?"

Qin Ruojing repeated, looking at Tong Yaqi, who nodded with an amused expression. Suddenly, her expression froze, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Revisiting the events in her mind, recalling Chu Ge's usual behavior, she realized she indeed got played by Chu Ge.

Qin Ruojing gritted her teeth, slapping the couch with a "snap," and angrily exclaiming, "That bastard! Too much! Coming up with such things, it's truly shameless!"

Tong Yaqi chuckled teasingly, "Jingjing, watching you two battle wits and courage, I find it quite interesting. Plus, I've got to admire him; in such a short time, he managed to come up with such a targeted plan, looks like he truly understands you unusually well."

"Interesting? If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't waste effort trying to accept him! And what does he do? Not only does he reject me, he scares me this way, it's downright shameless!"

Tong Yaqi patted Qin Ruojing's shoulder, consoling her, "Alright, you're not new to him, let's not talk about this anymore. What do you plan to do next? Want me to come up with a plan?"

"Sure, Yaqi sis, go ahead."

"Didn't he confess to you? Just go along with it."

Hearing Tong Yaqi's suggestion, Qin Ruojing tapped her fingers on the couch a few times, a proud smirk spreading across her face, "Haha, great idea. Since he played this hand, I'll do as you say, use his trick against him, let's see what he can do!"

Tong Yaqi giggled, nodding, "Now I'm really eager to see what new tricks he'll come up with after you agree to him."

Qin Ruojing's smile grew wider, more convinced of Tong Yaqi's great idea, imagining Chu Ge's bewildered face, she excitedly stood up from the couch.

Watching Qin Ruojing's eagerness, Tong Yaqi laughed, "Jingjing, you wouldn't be going to find him right now, would you?"
