Chen Haoxuan glanced at Ma Yichen and said, "You might as well just let me go and pursue her directly. Can you really teach someone to speak from the heart? If you teach it, can it still be called speaking from the heart? So just say whatever comes to mind later. You're not an ordinary person; I don't believe you're so foolish that you can't even say what girls like."
Ma Yichen awkwardly scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Hehe... I'm just worried that Zhang Beining won't like what I say!"
"Get busy making those windmills! It's almost evening—if we don't finish before dark, I won't help you anymore," Chen Haoxuan replied.
The group worked hard on making the windmills, and by five in the afternoon, they had already produced several boxes of them, using dozens of cans of Lollipop.
Today was a special day for Ma Yichen, so he generously treated Chen Haoxuan and the others to dinner. Chen Haoxuan told them to go ahead while he went to pick up Meilin Huang to join them.
After they hurriedly finished their meal, they began setting up their plan. Ma Yichen rented an expensive piano and a jade flute, along with two small speakers. He also bought Meilin Huang a white dress, which looked stunning on her, making her resemble a lovely Snow White.
The piano and speakers were delivered to the dormitory building where Zhang Beining lived.
Ma Yichen already knew that Zhang Beining wouldn't attend evening study sessions tonight, so he was prepared for this moment. At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, with stars twinkling brightly and the moon casting a gentle glow over the earth. It was a beautiful night—a romantic one.
Dressed in a white suit and holding nine roses, Ma Yichen hid behind a tree and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, can we start now?"
"OK," Chen Haoxuan replied. He then turned to Meilin Huang and said, "Let's perform a piece together."
Chen Haoxuan took Meilin Huang's hand and led her to where the piano was set up. He took out the jade flute while Meilin Huang obediently sat at the piano. "It's starting," Chen Haoxuan announced as he began to play. The clear and melodious sound of the flute gradually filled the air.
Upon hearing the flute sound, Meilin Huang placed her hands on the piano keys and began to play. The piano's deeper tones quickly became the main melody as her music resonated beautifully.
Because Chen Haoxuan and his friends set up the sound system, the music could be heard from far away. On the rooftop, Yang Lin and Liu Junfeng heard the sound of the piano and flute, so they began throwing handfuls of Lollipops. The Lollipops scattered automatically, spinning quickly as they descended slowly. "Yang Lin, go turn on the Searchlight," Liu Junfeng said to Yang Lin.
Yang Lin responded and turned on a Searchlight fixed to the railing. As soon as the Searchlight was activated, it illuminated the descending Lollipops. The windmills dropping Lollipops spun in a colorful display, creating a beautiful sight. The beam of light from the Searchlight shone directly on Chen Haoxuan and Meilin Huang below, making them stand out prominently.
There were many people around the school, especially in the dormitories and teaching buildings. The area in front of the Girls' Dormitory Building was the most popular spot because it was filled with couples and girls. The Flute Sound from Chen Haoxuan and the piano music from Meilin Huang drew everyone who heard it to search for its source. Upon seeing the beam of light, they felt an irresistible urge to go take a look.
Many students moved closer to the Girls' Dormitory Building, where a crowd had already gathered. On every balcony of the dormitory building, there were several beautiful faces watching Chen Haoxuan and Meilin Huang.
The duet performed by Chen Haoxuan and Meilin Huang was enchanting. Both wore white butterfly masks, adding an air of mystery to their performance. This mystery made everyone who saw them curious about their identities.
Below the Girls' Dormitory Building, a girl reached out to catch something drifting down from above. She initially thought it was flowers but realized it was a windmill with a Lollipop attached when she caught it. Looking up at the sky, she saw countless Lollipops slowly descending and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a romantic scene!"
With both visual and auditory romance created by Chen Haoxuan and his friends, they were now just waiting for Ma Yichen and Zhang Beining, the two main characters.
Zhang Beining loved listening to music; she was in her dormitory lying on her bed with headphones on, softly humming along to a song.
Zhang Beining's roommate Kong Li rushed to her bedside, pulling her up excitedly. "Zhang Beining, you have to come to the balcony! There's a couple performing downstairs, and it's raining Lollipops! It's so romantic! Hurry! If they stop— you might miss this beautiful scene."
"Xiao Li, are you kidding me? It's normal for someone to perform downstairs in the dormitory building, but do you really expect me to believe it's raining Lollipops?" Zhang Beining rolled her eyes at her roommate Kong Li.
Suddenly, Zhang Beining heard the Flute Sound and piano music again. She exclaimed, "Why do I hear Flute Sound and piano music?"
"I just told you! Someone is performing downstairs! Fine, if you're not going to look, I will!" Kong Li said before running back to the balcony of their dormitory.
Zhang Beining loved listening to music, and the beautiful melodies coming from downstairs were irresistible. Without even putting on her slippers, she rushed to the balcony. When she saw the Lollipop drifting in the wind and the couple performing below, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow—how beautiful! What a romantic scene."
Ma Yichen had been hiding under a large tree not far from Chen Haoxuan. He was holding a pair of binoculars, watching Zhang Beining's dormitory balcony. Once he saw her come out, he knew it was time for him to make his entrance. Ma Yichen straightened his clothes, took a bouquet of nine roses, and slowly walked out with his head held high towards Chen Haoxuan and the others.
Upon seeing Ma Yichen on the balcony, Zhang Beining couldn't help but exclaim, "Ma Yichen? This—this can't be his doing, right?"
"Wow—it's really Zhang Beining! Zhang Beining, he must want to confess to you; that's why he set up this romantic scene," Kong Li said enviously to Zhang Beining.
"Really? He didn't say anything to me! Besides, I feel like that couple downstairs is the main event. I think Ma Yichen is just trying to cause trouble. Hmph, that annoying Ma Yichen! Just when I was enjoying such beautiful music and witnessing such a romantic scene, his appearance ruined everything." Zhang Beining said unhappily. Fortunately, Ma Yichen couldn't hear her; if he did, he would likely jump up to explain, "I am the main character."
