Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

The news about Yu Zhe helping Mu Xiaoxiao had spread.

As soon as people saw him, they whispered to each other.

"It's really Yu Zhe!"

"So who won in the end? Is it Mu Xiaoxiao's team?"

"I heard that Yu Zhe is very good at shooting. With him helping Mu Xiaoxiao of course Mu Xiaoxiao will win."

"Mu Xiaoxiao is too lucky, isn't she? Even without Young Master Jie, Yu Zhe appeared out of nowhere to help her. Didn't Yu Zhe stop coming to school? Why did he come to this autumn outing?"

"Who knows, maybe he came specially for Mu Xiaoxiao."

Though Yu Zhe was hearing the gossip, there was no emotion in his expression.

But someone had guessed it right. He did come for Xiaoxiao. Initially, he had only wanted to hide and watch her from the sidelines. Even if he wanted to help her, he didn't want her to know.

He knew that he was no longer qualified to stand by her side.

But he couldn't control his desire to see her. Even if he was only just looking at her from a distance, to catch a few glimpses of her was enough to satisfy him.

He didn't dare to make unreasonable demands of her, to go back to be on talking terms with her, or to become her friend again

He knew that he was not worthy.

However... in that moment when he met her eyes and talked to her, he realized just how crazy he was about her, his heart almost about to pop out.

God knew how much restraint it took for him to make himself appear calm and not act inappropriately in front of her.

When she told him that he didn't need his help, he was indeed upset. However, he knew that he deserved it. His past actions had consequences that he should bear.

Although he was rejected, he still secretly followed her and secretly took out some people for her.

Fortunately, she didn't force him to leave. It was as if she had tacitly accepted his behavior.

Even if these were his only own subjective ideas, he was already filled with joy.

In front, Yin Shaojie was like a proud king, standing on a wooden observation deck. Someone from the Student Union went up to him and said something into his ear.

His smirked and announced to everyone, "In the first place is—Mu Xiaoxiao's team!"

The crowd had already guessed the result. They looked at each other, and the few sparse claps grew in the applause.

Han Qiqing ran over and hugged Mu Xiaoxiao, shouting excitedly. "We won, we won!"

Then she pulled Mo Xiaomeng over, and the three girls jumped happily and even spun in circles.

"Ah, stop turning, my head is dizzy." Mu Xiaoxiao stopped her.

"I'm happy!" Han Qiqing laughed foolishly.

Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't felt so dizzy before. A thought came to her, and she looked back at Yu Zhe behind her.

Yu Zhe didn't expect that she would look at him, and it startled him.

Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a smile as though to thank him.

In any case, it was really thanks to Yu Zhe's help that they were able to win against Su Lin.

Yu Zhe was exhilarated. It felt like he was floating in the clouds. It felt unreal.

He took a deep breath as though to brace himself, and he walked toward her.

The onlookers could all see how serious he was looking, the focus in his eyes. In that instance, not one person said a word as they curiously watched him.

Yu Zhe walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Then, as the crowd watched, he suddenly fell on a knee.

Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. The crowd looked stupefied. What was this about?

Yu Zhe took her hand and kissed solemnly on the back of her hand as if he were a medieval knight offering his loyalty to the Queen.
