Seeing the overly excited Han Luo and Beth, Tang Yujin quietly stated, "Relax you two. First, let's hear what Zheng Mian has to say. And, I'm taking a video. So, don't worry."

Han Luo finally settled down. She, Tang Yujin, Beth, and Mo Yuan were looking at Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian. They were curious to know what would be Zheng Mian's answer.

After Han Sheng Ming finally proposed to her and confessed his feelings, Zheng Mian became quiet.

'Oh shoot! Did I mess up? I think I did. I was planning everything and I memorized what I have to say but then she said some crazy stuff and I jumbled up whatever speech I prepared. What should I do now?' Han Sheng Ming panicked and it was completely visible on his face.

Zheng Mian was stunned by his confession. She was pushing him and cornering him so that he spoke up his innermost feelings. But to think he would confess in front of everyone.

Saying that he liked her boldness, smartness, and so on and wanted to protect who she was – it was too overwhelming. 

Her heart almost stopped beating. She never imagined that she would hear it from his mouth so easily.

Her mind was black for a moment. However, seeing Han Sheng Ming's panicked expression, she realized that she didn't answer him yet.

She raised her free hand and tapped Han Sheng Ming's forehead.

"Huh?" Han Sheng Ming was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to be hit by her after confessing. 'What did I do wrong? Did I anger her? I'm going to be rejected again!' He was crying without tears.

"It took you long enough, dummy," Zheng Mian mumbled in a volume only Han Sheng Ming could hear. After that, she circled her arms around him and kissed him on the lips.

"!!!" Han Sheng Ming's eyes flew open when his lips were captured by her.

His mind stopped working. His brain cells froze. His eyes were looking at how close Zheng Mian was to him and how her lips were locked with his.

As if the time stopped, everything stopped around him.

Zheng Mian felt his rigid body and sighed in her heart. 'It looks like I have to teach him a lot.' She looked at him and bit his nose.

"Ouch!" Han Sheng Ming was startled by her action. Only then he came to his senses.

Zheng Mian chided him, "Your girlfriend is trying to kiss you and you're standing like a wood. What kind of boyfriend are you?"

It took him some time to realize that she called him 'boyfriend' and called herself 'girlfriend'. "Mi-Mian!" Han Sheng Ming thought he was dreaming.

"Dummy, kiss me back when I kiss you. How many times do I have to tell yo- umf!" Zheng Mian's lips were blocked when she was reprimanding him.

The two of them hugged each other in the university compound and passionately kissed.

The students who gathered around cheered for them. Applauses, whistles, encouraging words, well wishes for them covered the area.

"Yes! They are together! Mian accepted her!" Han Luo jumped in happiness.

"Shouldn't we congratulate them?" Beth asked.

"Let them be. I've got a better plan," Han Luo grinned.

"What are you thinking?" Tang Yujin asked.

Han Luo mysteriously smiled and said nothing.

With hand in hand, Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian went home. Han Sheng Ming was shy and a bit nervous. He wasn't sure how to announce in front of his father, Han Luo, and others.

Zheng Mian squeezed his hand and assured him, "Relax, I'll be with you. You have nothing to fear. But, we can wait if you want."

"Y-yeah, when my girlfriend is so brave, how can I possibly back away?" Han Sheng Ming gathered some courage and pulled her along with him. "Let's go."

'My boyfriend is just so cute!' Zheng Mian secretly laughed while thinking that.

Han Sheng Ming stood in front of the door. After taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.

The door wasn't locked. It opened slowly.

"Why is the door open?" Han Sheng Ming was terrified. He quickly opened the door. He called out after entering the house. "Little Luo Luo, Noah, where are you?"

When he entered the living room…

"Congratulations!"

Han Luo and Beth popped some balloons and started screaming. They even threw red rose petals at them.

Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian were startled at first but then soon smiled bashfully.

Han Luo hugged Han Sheng Ming and stated, "I can't believe my big brother Ming finally manned up and captured his woman. You are so brave, big brother Ming. I'm so proud of you."

Han Sheng Ming's face and ears turned red because of her open compliments. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "So, how did you two know?"

"I'm curious about the same thing," Zheng Mian added.

Before Han Luo and Beth said anything, the television was turned on automatically and it showed Han Sheng Ming confessing to Zheng Mian.

Zheng Mian covered her face. "You guys were there at that time, weren't you?"

"We were and we got to see something so priceless!" Han Luo answered. "Ah, I can't believe my big brother Ming is so cool. Mian, you know that he is so simple-minded. Teach him everything."

"Oh, don't worry about it. I will teach him E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G." Zheng Mian winked at her.

The three girls burst into laughter and the maids who were standing in the corner covered their mouths to control their laughter.

Noah also smiled. It had been a long time since they had so many happy faces and laughter in this house. After Han Luo recovered, she made this place lively again.

"It looks like we are late," Tang Yujin announced.

Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan entered the living room.

"You are not late," Han Luo told them.

Han Sheng Ming looked behind Tang Yujin and asked, "What's that?"
