366 Chapter 366. Courage
“The three songs on the stage were all sung for her,” Xiang Hong continued slowly. “I’m usually very rational and calm, so participating in this show is probably the craziest thing I’ve ever done. Luckily, I succeeded.”
Some people crazily asked on the bullet screen, “Is this a confession? Who is the Mysterious Person X confessing to? He came out of more than a hundred trainees to get first place in a variety show, and it was actually for love. Oh my God, even the most daring script writer can’t write such a script, right?”
“Let’s make a guess. It can’t be Chen Tong, right?”
Someone immediately retorted, “How could it be Chen Tong? She’s just been in a scandal recently. How could the Mysterious B*stard like her? ”
“Be more daring; could it be the other female teacher, Ding Shan?”
At this moment, Ding Shan’s fans were also panicking. Ding Shan had never mentioned that she was in a relationship! Moreover, Ding Shan had never been involved in any scandals with any male artistes. Ding Shan’s fans all knew that ding Shan was a female star who was very focused on her career, so she didn’t like to use scandals to gain attention.
Ding Shan’s fans were still hesitating if they should clarify that Ding Shan would not be in a relationship with a trainee. However, the Mysterious Person X on the stage continued, “I’m very grateful to the voting audience for their support, so I’ll continue writing songs in the future and release a single every year to express my gratitude to everyone for choosing me today. However, I won’t enter the entertainment industry. There’s no place in the world that’s more prosperous than her eyes. I don’t want to be liked by more people; I want her to like me.”
After he said that, the live broadcast room went into an uproar, and countless viewers screamed wildly at the scene.
What kind of speech was this? This was a confession! Confessing in front of the entire country, did he have to be so high-profile? This was too romantic!
On the stage, after Mysterious X finished speaking, he did not look at the dumbfounded host and other trainees or pay attention to the screaming audience. He slowly walked down the stage and along the audience’s passage to the front of the coaches’ seats.
Ding Shan looked at Xiang Hong in a daze, her mind blank.
Only then did she remember what Xiang Hong had asked her before. So he had planned this all along.
Previously, Xiang Hong had asked her if their relationship could not be made public since she was a celebrity in the entertainment industry.
Ding Shan thought for a moment. “It’s not impossible. To be precise, my real profession is as an actress. I made it in the entertainment industry with my strength, not by marketing my image as a single person.”
Upon hearing Ding Shan’s words, Xiang Hong seemed relieved, as if he had received some promise. His mood instantly became better.
So, Xiang Hong asked her this question in preparation for today.
Ding Shan’s mind was spinning with difficulty. Before she could recover from her shock, Li Yang. Who was sitting on the instructor’s seat, pulled her up and pushed her towards Xiang Hong. “Oh my God, so you guys … Aiya, I should have thought of this earlier. I’m so stupid. What are you still standing there for? Your Prince Charming is here to find you. Go!”
Li Yang pushed Ding Shan to Xiang Hong’s side, and she looked at Xiang Hong in a daze.
Xiang Hong looked at her quietly. After a while, he slowly took out a small antique-style octagonal ring box from his pocket.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xiang Hong opened the box, revealing a dazzling sea sapphire ring in the middle of the black velvet. He knelt on one knee and held Ding Shan’s hand, speaking gently, “Miss Ding Shan, please forgive my abruptness, but I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I feel that there’s no time more formal than now. I want to ask you to be my girlfriend officially, and everyone here can see my sincerity. I know many people like you, but my selfishness makes me want to tell everyone I’m different from those who like you.
I am your lover.”
Ding Shan had never expected Xiang Hong to be so brave.
Xiang Hong’s identity was more complicated than hers; who was just a tiny star in the entertainment industry. His big family had complicated interpersonal relationships, and they were very strict with the marriage of their juniors.
Yin Hui also revealed to Ding Shan that Xiang Hong was being trained to be the future successor of the Xiang clan. The clan had already taken a fancy to some young ladies from some prominent families for him and was ready to choose one of them to marry Xiang Hong.
Ding Shan knew that some rich and powerful families were prejudiced against the entertainment industry, so Xiang Hong’s family would not accept her immediately. She thought they could get together privately, then slowly tell Xiang Hong’s family about this.
However, who knew that Xiang Hong would be so high-profile? On the night of the final, he confessed to her in front of the entire country’s audience!
