The day of the technology competition had finally arrived. I stood at the entrance of the venue, taking a deep breath to steady my racing heart. Qin Feng was right beside me, looking even more nervous than I felt, his fingers nervously rubbing the hem of his shirt. 0
 
"Don't be nervous," I whispered to him, "we've prepared thoroughly." 0
 
He managed a faint smile and nodded. Together, we walked into the venue. 0
 
Once the competition began, our project progressed surprisingly smoothly. When we showcased our Smart Environmental System, the judges' eyes lit up. They nodded repeatedly, whispering to each other, their faces reflecting approval. 0
 
"This idea is very innovative," an elderly judge remarked, "combining artificial intelligence with environmental protection is indeed the trend of the future." 0
 
I stole a glance at Qin Feng and noticed that his tense shoulders had relaxed a bit. 0
 
However, as we explained the core algorithm of our system, I noticed something strange. When Qin Feng mentioned a particular data processing method, his voice trembled slightly, and his gaze became somewhat unfocused. I remembered that this method had not come up in our discussions before. It seemed so intricate yet oddly familiar. 0
 
Suddenly, a thought struck me. Could this method be related to Qin Feng's secret? 0
 
My heart raced, and my mind was in turmoil. But I knew this wasn't the time to ask questions. I forced myself to concentrate and continued with our presentation. 0
 
During the final defense segment, Qin Feng's performance was nothing short of astonishing. He spoke eloquently, answering every question from the judges with ease. His eyes sparkled with intelligence, and he seemed to radiate confidence. Standing beside him, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and affection. 0
 
When the host announced that we had won first place, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue. Qin Feng and I exchanged smiles and excitedly embraced each other. In that moment, I felt his rapid heartbeat, caught a whiff of his subtle cologne, and sensed that comforting aura that belonged solely to him. 0
 
"We did it," he whispered in my ear, his voice filled with disbelief and joy. 0
 
 
"Yes, we did it," I replied, my voice trembling with excitement. 0
 
At the celebration dinner, champagne and laughter filled the entire room. I watched as Qin Feng was surrounded by a group of people, wearing a polite yet distant smile. I knew it was time. 0
 
I walked over to him and gently tugged at his sleeve. "Can we talk for a moment?" I asked. 0
 
He nodded and followed me out to the balcony. The night breeze brushed against us, and the city lights in the distance sparkled like stars. 0
 
I took a deep breath, summoning all my courage. "Qin Feng, I have something to tell you." 0
 
He turned to face me, his gaze softening. "I have something to say too." 0
 
We exchanged smiles and spoke simultaneously, "You go first." 0
 
Laughter erupted again. Finally, I broke the silence. 0
 
"Qin Feng, I like you. Not just as a friend; I really, really like you." My voice trembled slightly, but I forced myself to continue. "I know you have secrets, and I understand that those secrets might be related to our project. But I want you to know that no matter what your secret is, I'm willing to face it with you." 0
 
Qin Feng's eyes widened in surprise, filled with emotion—some of which I couldn't quite decipher. He opened his mouth but didn't speak. 0
 
I bit my lip and continued, "I don't know if you feel the same way about me. If you don't like me back, we can still be friends. But if you do..." 0
 
Before I could finish my sentence, Qin Feng pulled me into a tight embrace. His hold was so strong it felt as if he wanted to merge me into his very being. I could feel his rapid breaths and the slight tremor of his body. 0
 
 
"Zhao Yue," he whispered in my ear, his voice carrying a tenderness I had never heard before. "I like you too. I've always liked you." 0
 
My heart skipped a beat, then raced with joy. I wrapped my arms around him, burying my face in his shoulder, inhaling the familiar scent that enveloped him. 0
 
"Really?" I asked softly, afraid this was just a dream. 0
 
"Really," he replied, releasing me and cradling my face in his hands, his eyes filled with affection. "I love you, Zhao Yue." 0
 
We exchanged smiles and slowly leaned closer. Beneath the brilliant starry sky and amidst the city lights, our lips finally met. In that moment, all the noise faded away; it felt as if the world consisted of just the two of us. 0
 
I knew our story was only just beginning. No matter what challenges lay ahead, we would face them together. Because we had found each other, and discovered the love that belonged to us. 0
