"I am responsible for her happiness and joy tonight and in the future, as long as she is willing," Mosen said sincerely.
"Alright, where are we going now? Let's save the confession for later," Qinglan smiled at Mosen, then turned to Xu Wen. "The rest of the arrangements should be made by you. You came up with the idea, and among this group, you are the one familiar with the surroundings. In this dark and deserted night, we need to have a romantic and interesting birthday celebration for Jiang Liuying along with Valentine's Day. We are completely at a loss."
"Come on, follow me," Xu Wen said, with one hand in his pocket and waving with the other.
Everyone followed Xu Wen as he took them through winding streets and alleys for a while until they finally stopped in a quiet alley.
"This is where we had our New Year's Eve dinner this year. The dishes are unique, not expensive, and it's very tranquil. After dinner, there’s tea and singing inside, and there’s also accommodation. We won’t have to sleep in the dormitory tonight; it’s too cold and lonely there. We can book two rooms—one for the boys and one for the girls. It's a rare occasion tonight; let’s enjoy ourselves fully, and I’ll cover everything."
As Xu Wen led everyone inside, he softly shared his plans, speaking as if he were a couple in love, gentle and affectionate.
That evening, under Xu Wen's arrangements, they happily celebrated Valentine's Day along with Jiang Liuying's birthday. During dinner, after several rounds of beer, the male lead Mosen presented a gift to the female lead Jiang Liuying—a delicate peach wood comb and a pure white silk handkerchief.
When Mosen presented the gift to Liuying, he said, "I hope this peach wood comb will protect your beautiful hair forever. As for this handkerchief, why would I give you a handkerchief in an age where people use tissues? I want to express that I hope to wipe away your tears on your journey through life with this handkerchief. Today's tissues are disposable; once used, they are thrown away. But this handkerchief I give you is not disposable; it can accompany you forever. When you are hurt, it will help wipe away your tears, regardless of whether I am by your side or not."
After Mosen finished speaking, Jiang Liuying still wore a smile on her face.
Suddenly, Mosen added, "Although I know you are strong; you are a strong girl."
Jiang Liuying suddenly threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face. "You fool! I'm not strong. There are no truly strong girls in this world, nor truly weak ones; it all depends on whether there is someone who cares for her."
Jiang Liuying cried uncontrollably. "Actually, I'm not as strong as everyone thinks. I've been waiting for someone who loves me to help wipe away my inner tears."
Mosen finally succeeded in holding Jiang Liuying's hand.
While drinking tea and singing, Mosen passionately sang "Dreaming of Water Town" for Jiang Liuying.
They played until late before returning to their rooms to rest.
An Shaojie did not give Qinglan any gifts, which was expected.
After returning to her room, Qinglan took out the pair of gloves that Xu Wen had given her from her bag.
Earlier, while they were downstairs in the Girls' Dormitory, Xu Wen had handed her the gloves. Just as she was putting them on, An Shaojie arrived, prompting Qinglan to quietly take them off and place them back in her bag.
Qinglan understood why Xu Wen had given her the Valentine's Day gift early; he was thinking of An Shaojie. He knew that An Shaojie wouldn’t give her a gift, but he also didn’t want to present one in front of An Shaojie. He was worried about making An Shaojie feel uneasy and feared provoking him.
Lying on her bed, she played with the light yellow gloves repeatedly, unable to sleep as waves of sadness washed over her.
This Valentine's Day felt particularly disappointing for her. The boy she liked and the boy who liked her were both nearby, yet she received no Valentine's Day gift. The one she liked didn’t give her anything, while the one who liked her didn’t dare to offer a gift.
Qinglan smiled bitterly; her youth was slipping away, yet she remained stuck at the threshold of love.
She had to make a decision!
Otherwise, both her youth and love would remain in confusion.
Suddenly, Qinglan crawled out from under the covers and sat up with her knees hugged to her chest.
The room was dimly lit, with only a lamp by the bedside illuminating the space. Qinglan could tell that Jiang Liuying was also wide awake due to excitement.
So, Qinglan turned on another lamp by the bedside and adjusted the air conditioning to a slightly warmer temperature.
“Liuying, do you think An Shaojie is really that kind of person?” Qinglan asked.
Jiang Liuying looked up from under the covers and replied, “What kind of person?”
“A lonely and depressed person?” Qinglan answered.
“Oh.” Jiang Liuying understood what Qinglan meant. She smiled and crawled out from under the covers, sitting up. “That’s impossible.”
"Why did he agree to Mosen when Mosen called him?" Qinglan asked in confusion.
"You’re so dumb," Liuying suddenly exclaimed. "If Mosen used the method he mentioned to get An Shaojie out, how would An Shaojie know my birthday? Clearly, Mosen is just messing with us."
"So what method did he use to get him out? Did Mosen really not know him before?"
"He didn't know him, absolutely not. If he did, he would have told me by now," Liuying asserted. "As for why An Shaojie agreed to meet him, I'm a bit puzzled too. Although I don't know An Shaojie as well as you do and still don't understand the situation between you two, given An Shaojie's personality, it would be hard to get him out in a situation like tonight's, especially with Xu Wen around you."
Mentioning Xu Wen made Qinglan fall silent.
The two girls speculated endlessly but couldn't determine what method Mosen used to get An Shaojie out or guess his thoughts.
It wasn't until late at night that the two girls, one excited about love and the other troubled by it, slowly fell asleep.
Later on, Jiang Liuying asked Mosen many times how he managed to convince An Shaojie to go out for dinner with him that night and what methods or tricks he used.
The method that Mosen mentioned had already been unanimously dismissed by several girls in the dormitory.
"How could An Shaojie possibly agree to drink with a stranger just because he felt lonely and depressed?" No one believed this explanation.
Mosen said, "I didn't use any methods or tricks; I just told him directly that I am Jiang Liuying's boyfriend from your class. Today is her birthday and also Valentine's Day. We wanted to go out for dinner and have some fun, but there aren't enough people to make it lively, so we wanted to invite him to join us." Jiang Liuying shot a sideways glance at Mosen, looking annoyed, and said, "Pfft, who believes that?" Mosen replied, "Believe it or not, that's just how it is."
