CHAPTER 480: CHAPTER 380: I’M SERIOUS

The present Guan Yue is wearing a camouflage short-sleeve shirt and long pants, her hair neatly tied into a braid at the back, her skin a bit tanned, and she no longer wears those plain glasses from before.

However, despite the change in clothing and skin tone, she still looks exactly like the Guan Yue in memory.

"President Guan... long time no see."

Lu Lin didn’t know how to address her, and after thinking for a moment, managed to call her President Guan.

At this moment, it seemed like Guan Yue only just realized, and she nodded, her eyes unknowingly filled with tears.

"Yes, Lu Lin, long time no see."

"Come, come in and chat."

Guan Yue opened the door, inviting Lu Lin into the room. Seeing him looking around her dormitory, her face couldn’t help but show a hint of blush.

It was a roughly ten-square-meter single room with a wardrobe, a bed, and some simple training equipment. On a white table, there were some scattered snack wrappers and a screen about ten inches large.

Lu Lin recognized it as a device used to connect with the personal terminal for watching TV and playing games.

"It’s a bit messy. Please sit down, I’ll tidy up a bit."

Guan Yue hurriedly said.

"No need, President Guan. I’ll just talk to you for a moment and then leave."

Lu Lin reached out, wanting to pull Guan Yue to sit down, but hesitated, afraid she might misunderstand, and awkwardly redirected his hand to scratch his head.

Guan Yue didn’t seem to hear what Lu Lin said, as she absentmindedly tidied up the garbage on the table, then moved a stool to sit beside Lu Lin.

For a moment, for some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, awkward, with a hint of ambiguity.

Lu Lin couldn’t help but glance at Guan Yue again. Just now at the entrance, he hadn’t noticed, but due to her figure, the camouflage T-shirt she wore seemed a bit small.

No.

It wasn’t small.

Clearly, around the waist, the T-shirt was loose with a large gap.

So there was only one explanation; the panda was too big, causing such an effect.

Lu Lin awkwardly withdrew his gaze, coughed, and asked, "President Guan, I heard you signed up for the Slave Soldier Selection?"

"Hmm?"

Guan Yue, like a shy wife, softly responded, unlike the previous year when she would take Lu Lin running around outside the city, happily guiding star skills for students and soldiers.

Seeing her like this, Lu Lin didn’t know what to say.

For a moment, the two fell into silence again.

"Ahem, well, President Guan, didn’t you say you don’t like fighting? Maybe, just cancel it."

Lu Lin was really not someone adept at persuasion, and such blunt remarks would surely be rejected by ordinary people.

But Guan Yue was clearly not ordinary.

"Okay."

"However, I have one condition."

Lu Lin hadn’t expected Guan Yue to agree so readily, only thinking perhaps she didn’t really want to sign up but was just too impulsive.

"Sure, go ahead. As long as I can do it, I will without hesitation."

"Really?"

Guan Yue couldn’t believe it and asked subconsciously.

"Of course, when I, Lu Lin, speak it’s as good as nailed. Whatever you say, even if you want the head of the God of Black Shark, I can bring it to you."

Under Guan Yue’s gaze, Lu Lin couldn’t help boasting.

Now, though his ability had greatly increased, when facing the black shark, Lu Lin really wasn’t sure.

It’s not that he couldn’t win, but the black shark had too many cunning tricks, once a former Star King Expert, his hidden means must not be few.

Defeating the black shark wasn’t hard for Lu Lin, but trying to kill it posed a bit of a problem.

"Don’t boast; you’re just a college student. How would you even meet the Black Shark God Master?"

"Besides, what would I do with his head?"

Guan Yue chuckled lightly, and this laugh stunned Lu Lin.

How had he never noticed, after spending so much time with Guan Yue before, that not only did she have a stunning figure, but her looks were equally striking?

In the span of one year, Lu Lin had encountered not a few outstanding women: Lv Susu, Mu Xiaolian, Xing Fang, the Tian Da Sisters, Sun Xiaorui, Mo Jianwu...

Beautiful, sexy, powerful, peerless in talent, tsundere and cute, cold as ice...

But Guan Yue, in Lu Lin’s opinion, was different from the others.

He even instinctively compared Guan Yue to Sun Xiaorui.

Sun Xiaorui had a tough outward and inward personality, whether she presented a solemn image or interacted privately with Lu Lin, she always had a hint of a female dominator’s aura.

Even during "dual cultivation," Sun Xiaorui wanted to take the lead.

But Guan Yue, she was a gentle girl on the outside but strong inside, appearing soft and weak on the outside but having her own ideas within.

It’s just... Lu Lin had never imagined that when faced with Guan Yue, a ripple stirred in his heart.

What was going on?

Lu Lin previously considered himself a 100% straight man, having never accepted any girl’s affection.

Neither classmates nor others, because of his looks, there were not a few who confessed to him or wanted to pursue him financially, but Lu Lin remained celibate and never agreed to any requests.

Something wasn’t right.

Lu Lin suddenly recalled.

Ever since entering the Battlefield Secret Realm, his heart seemed more prone to fluctuation.

Earlier with Sun Xiaorui, Lu Lin had several moments of awe; unexpectedly, meeting Guan Yue today, just seeing her smile made him find Guan Yue very beautiful and charming.

This wasn’t normal.

Such things happening repeatedly within Lu Lin called for serious attention, though for now, it was best to resolve Guan Yue’s issue first.

"President Guan, feel free to state your conditions."

"Okay."

Guan Yue saw that after she smiled, Lu Lin was momentarily lost and realized he could indeed appreciate her charm.

After pondering for a moment, Guan Yue took a deep breath, looked into Lu Lin’s eyes, and said:

"I want you to marry me."

What?

Lu Lin’s eyes almost popped out.

How did things suddenly turn to marrying her?

This had nothing to do with the previous topic at all.

"I’m serious."

"Lu Lin, I want to marry you. I like you. Ever since you left Green City, I’ve been thinking about you day and night."

"I wanted to message you, to contact you, to see what you’ve been up to lately, to know everything about you."

"So Lu Lin, I think I’ve fallen in love with you."

"This time, if you hadn’t come to stop me from participating in the Slave Soldier Selection, I would have really gone."

"But since you came, I know that I’m still in your heart."

"So, I agree with you."

"Lu Lin, please marry me."

As Guan Yue spoke, tears suddenly streamed down her face uncontrollably. No one knew how she had managed during the year and more after Lu Lin left.

Upon seeing Lu Lin again this time, she didn’t want to miss this chance.

She had to clearly express her feelings to Lu Lin, to make him understand.

Lu Lin was stunned.

He didn’t know how to respond.

Faced with Guan Yue’s overwhelming tide-like emotions, Lu Lin didn’t feel suited to such a love affair.

Or... marriage.

He and Guan Yue didn’t have much of a romantic foundation, and their time together didn’t include any thrilling, touching stories.

They merely went out together, visiting other cities to guide star skills for others.

Lu Lin felt the need to refuse this proposal.

He abruptly stood up...
