Chapter 1703: Love at First Sight (Part 3, Please Subscribe)_1
When Yue Zhengyu returned to his lotus leaf, he shot a smug glance at Xie Xie. "See that, Xie Xie? That's the charm of your brother!"
Xie Xie pouted and said without any politeness, "Pfft, just eighteen soul lamps. Is there really a need to show off?"
Keep in mind that at this Sea God's Matchmaking Gathering, there were a total of seventy Sea Fairies, more than ever before!
Compared to that, eighteen really isn't all that many!
Yue Zhengyu raised an eyebrow. "I think you're just jealous!"
Tang Wulin covered his mouth and coughed, reminding them, "Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, keep it down, will you? Haven't you noticed the Sea Fairies up front watching our every move?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie glared at each other but said no more...
Afterward, several male students left the scene under the merciless snuffing of the girls' soul lamps...
Soon, it was the extremely nervous Xu Lizhi's turn. His overweight figure made him too scared to step off the lotus leaf, for fear of falling into Sea God's Lake...
So he just stood in place, staring with hopeful eyes at Ye Xinglan in front of him...
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er spoke up, "Please, Sea Fairies, keep your lamps lit for male student number seven!"
As expected, the outcome was quite pitiful. Other than Ye Xinglan keeping her lamp on for him, it was only Yuanen Yehui and others who kept their lamps lit out of consideration for him being a companion...
But for Xu Lizhi, as long as Ye Xinglan kept her lamp for him, he was already content!
Next up was number fifteen, Xie Xie. With an elegant leap, he lightly stepped onto the water of the lake...
After bending his waist slightly, he spoke softly, "Ladies, nice to see you again. I hope you will keep your lamps lit for me!"
Although his words were short, his gaze was unwavering, fixed solely on Yuanen Yehui...
If she kept her lamp on for him, it would mean there was a chance!!
On the other hand, if she didn't, he would completely give up on pursuing her!
The Sea Fairies seemed to have noticed Xie Xie's attention focused entirely on Yuanen Yehui, and they quickly pressed their buttons, extinguishing the soul lamps beneath their feet!
Quite simply, they had realized she was there for someone specific, so whether they kept their lamps on or not, it no longer mattered!
Still, there were a few Sea Fairies interested in him who chose to keep their lamps lit!
Similarly, Yuanen Yehui had also noticed Xie Xie's steady gaze. She wanted to press the button but found herself hesitating...
Xu Xiaoyan spoke up from the side, "Ye Hui, Xie Xie took the risk of getting eliminated by doing something like this during the 'Love at First Sight' stage. Why not give him a chance?"
Ye Xinglan also chimed in, "Mhm, Xie Xie may seem fickle, but I'm sure if he sets his heart on someone, he would go all out to pursue them!"
Gu Yue added, "Ye Hui, we're just offering advice. Whether you keep the lamp or not is still up to you!"
But the next second, she felt a bit amused...
She hadn't even figured out what to do about her own situation with Tang Wulin and here she was, giving advice to Yuanen Yehui!
Yuanen Yehui, upon hearing this, looked deeply at Xie Xie and then pulled back her hand...
She kept her lamp on!
Xie Xie, seeing this gesture, looked visibly excited...
Yuanen Yehui had kept her lamp on for him, didn't that mean she didn't dislike him that much!!
With this thought, he mustered up the courage to do something even more remarkable!
First, he glanced at the Sea Fairies who had also kept their lamps on for him and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sea Fairies, for keeping your lamps on for me, but I'm sorry, the only person my heart can accommodate is her alone!"
The Sea Fairies who had initially kept their lamps lit furrowed their brows and then extinguished them...
In an instant, only a solitary soul lamp remained lit for him!
Luo Guixing gasped, "Damn, Xie Xie is really going to extreme lengths??"
Yang Nianxia squinted her eyes and said, "Doesn't he realize what he's saying? There were seven Sea Fairies who left a lamp on for him! This is like cutting off his own retreat!"
Xu Yucheng said calmly, "No... I think this is exactly Xie Xie's purpose—to show Yuanen Yehui his sincerity!"
Xie Xie bowed with his fists again and said, "Thanks again to the Sea Fairies who left a lamp on for me before, and I hope that you can end up with the ones you like."
With these words, he returned to his seat...
Yue Zhengyu looked at him and said with a complicated expression, "Xie Xie, now you only have one lamp left!"
The corners of Xie Xie's mouth lifted in a curve, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word!"
At that moment, Yue Zhengyu felt like he had won, yet in some way, he had lost completely!
Tang Wulin gave a thumbs-up and encouraged, "Xie Xie, since Ye Hui gave you a chance, you'd better seize the upcoming part!"
Xie Xie nodded, "I will, but Wulin, you should be thinking about how to get Gu Yue to leave a lamp on for you. She seemed hesitant during the first part..."
Tang Wulin pursed his thin lips, "I don't know what's on Gu Yue's mind, but if it's about leaving a lamp, I would also choose only her!"
It wasn't until the days leading up to the Sea God's Lake Matchmaking Event that he realized he had truly fallen for this girl!
He even couldn't bear to imagine her with any other male student...
His words seemed to resonate with Xie Xie, who patted his shoulder and sighed, "Eh, we really are in the same boat!"
…
Finally, after four more students, it was Tang Wulin's turn, number twenty!
He casually waved his hand, and the tenacious Blue Silver Grass formed a circular area on the surface of the lake, allowing him to stand steadily in the center...
Looking towards the Sea Fairies with his light blue eyes, he didn't say a word...
At that moment, Cai Yue'er spoke up, "Please, Sea Fairies, light a lamp for the twentieth student, and, to add one thing, any female student who doesn't leave a lamp will be considered to have given up their chance!"
As she spoke, the Sea Fairies began to press their buttons...
After a moment, when Tang Wulin looked at the twenty-one soul lamps lit up in the field, he was completely stunned...
The reason he kept silent was to make the Sea Fairies give up on him voluntarily, but unexpectedly, his clever ruse had backfired!
However, what surprised him the most was that Wu Siduo, whose lamp had been off all along, had actually left a lamp on for him!
But on second thought, he understood that if she didn't leave a lamp on during the whole process, she would be eliminated!
She had left a lamp on for him as a last resort!
Cai Yue'er was also surprised, "To think that twenty-one Sea Fairies left a lamp on, it seems that the twentieth student is quite popular with the Sea Fairies!"
In terms of strength and looks, Yue Zhengyu was supposed to be the superior one, but surprisingly, Tang Wulin managed to surpass him!
But having too many Sea Fairies leaving a lamp on for oneself when one already has someone they like isn't good!
Because in the next part, things were not going to be as harmonious as the first two parts!
