A few minutes later, Zhao Jin came back with a warm smile, and Chu Ziling found an opportunity to return to Ling Feng's side, speaking in a slightly bored tone, "Ah, if I had known, I would have left with Teacher Qin. Staying here is just so boring!"

Ling Feng asked curiously, "It seems like you have a good relationship with that Teacher Qin. If it weren't for her, you probably wouldn't have come, right?"

Chu Ziling nodded, "Of course, Teacher Qin is a great teacher in my heart! Although our school is considered a low-tier university where many students just kill time, get into fights, and date, Teacher Qin has always been diligent and never gave up on any student in our class!"

Ling Feng, puzzled, said, "Even so, that's not the reason you appreciate Teacher Qin, right? Could there be some unspeakable secret?"

Chu Ziling gave Ling Feng a look, "What unspeakable secret could there be? It's just that I was working a part-time job during my freshman year and encountered some thugs at night. Fortunately, Teacher Qin happened to pass by, and to save me, she was stabbed three times by those thugs. Although the injuries weren't critical, I could never forget the helping hand Teacher Qin offered!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but show his respect, "A frail woman who could risk her life to save her student, such a teacher is indeed worthy of respect."

"I've always wondered, you, being a member of the Chu Family, could choose any university in the country. Why did you choose such a low-ranked university?" Ling Feng asked, somewhat perplexed, "Is this some sort of twisted family tradition?"

Chu Ziling just smiled lightly without explaining, but from her expression, Ling Feng could see a hint of resistance and helplessness, indicating that this was also a painful memory she was reluctant to touch upon.

At that moment, beautiful music started playing in the banquet hall, and the class president Chen Fu stood up, "It's not often we all gather like this. There's surely a lot to say and many emotions to express! Now, let's take this opportunity to voice the words buried deep in our hearts from our university days. We may no longer be young, but we can still let our passions burn!"

"Now, it's time for the confessions I've prepared for everyone! You can express your love and longing for the one you've been thinking about all this time, provided, of course, that she is still single," Chen Fu said, "If we can successfully bring a few couples together and help some classmates find partners, I would be very satisfied!"

The session Chen Fu had prepared was actually for Chu Ziling! Unfortunately, Chu Ziling already had someone in her heart, someone he couldn't compete with, so he simply hoped other classmates would open up and express their feelings for each other.

"Wow, you guys really know how to have fun!" Ling Feng remarked, "No wonder they say college reunions break up a couple at every turn. Do you think anyone will come up and confess to you later?"

Chu Ziling snorted, "Even if there is, that's your job! Don't forget, you are my boyfriend now. Dealing with those little fish is your responsibility!"

Ling Feng asked curiously, "Do you really not have a boyfriend?"

"Why? Are you surprised?"

"I just think, someone as beautiful and from such a powerful background as you, there must be many people chasing after you!" Ling Feng asked curiously, "Are all those elite young men in Yanjing's high society blind?"

Chu Ziling squinted her eyes and smiled, "Do you really think I'm very beautiful?"

"Although I hate to admit it, you are indeed very beautiful!" Ling Feng nodded and said, "But you are still a bit less beautiful than my girlfriend!"

Chu Ziling sighed, "You might not believe it, but I've grown up without a single noble family's son pursuing me!"

"Why?"

"Why? It's because my generational status is too high!" Chu Ziling said with a look of grievance, "I am Chu Tianji's younger sister, but I am two years older than my elder nephew, Chu Yun, and six years older than Chu Yang! Those of my generation are usually nearly twenty years older than me, while those close to my age are all my juniors!"

Chu Ziling rolled his eyes and said, "With my Chu Family's status, who do you think would dare to pursue me?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then grinned and laughed, "Hey, that is indeed a problem. But I really admire your dad. He's truly vigorous despite his age!"

"Humph!" Chu Ziling suddenly reached out and pinched Ling Feng's waist hard.

"Hey, you're pinching me again!" Ling Feng complained, "You really treat me like your boyfriend! Don't forget we have a deal between us!"

Chu Ziling's face darkened, then she snorted, "Even if there is a deal, you are my boyfriend now. You must see things through."

While the two were whispering to each other, several male classmates with a hint of alcohol in their steps approached Chu Ziling.

"Chu Ziling, I know you already have a boyfriend!" A middle-aged man belched, his eyes red as he spoke, "But I still have something to say. I, Zhang Zheng, really like you. I've liked you since our freshman year, and I've liked you for twelve years! But I know I'm not worthy of you. In my heart, you are like the moon in the sky, the pearls in the sea, the purest existence!"

Chu Ziling was a bit surprised, and Ling Feng was dumbfounded. This guy was indeed quite passionate!

"But don't get me wrong, I don't want to cause you trouble!" Zhang Zheng said earnestly, "I've never expressed my feelings to you. If I don't say it now, it will be a regret for my entire life. Chu Ziling, I like you, I really like you a lot!"

After saying this, Zhang Zheng seemed to have exhausted his last bit of energy. He then turned to Ling Feng and said seriously, "Chu Ziling is the most sacred goddess in our class. Now that she has chosen you, I hope you will take good care of her, cherish her as you would a treasure. If one day I find out you have wronged her, treated her poorly, I, Zhang Zheng, will not let you off!"

Ling Feng was somewhat speechless. What did Zhang Zheng think he was? A bit drunk and he really thought he was someone important?

Then, another man also stepped forward, "Chu Ziling, like Zhang Zheng, I, Wu Bo, also really like you. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! When you grow old and look back on your life, the fact that a classmate once liked you will make me very happy."

"Brother, you are fortunate!" Wu Bo said with a smile to Ling Feng, "Please cherish this happiness and don't wait until it's gone to have regrets!"

"Chu Ziling, I, Wang Kang, also like you..."

...

Seven or eight classmates, each with slightly reddened eyes, earnestly confessed their feelings to Chu Ziling!

Chu Ziling was silent, and so was Ling Feng.

They knew that these classmates' confessions were not attempts to pursue Chu Ziling but to give closure to their own youthful feelings while also wishing Chu Ziling well.

This sentiment was felt by Chu Ziling and Ling Feng!

"You guys... really are... quite naive!" Chu Ziling murmured, a fleeting sparkle appearing in the corners of her eyes.
