Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and the rest of the Tian Shui Battle Team were all staring dumbfounded at the scene, Xu Ran's figure emerging in their minds, their hearts filled with envy.
They were no fools—aside from Xu Ran, who else would do this?
And such precise control could only be Xu Ran's doing.
"What terrifying strength, this seems to be a firework-like explosion formed from the pure fire element. After the explosion, to still be able to take on such shape. How terrifying a control must one have to achieve this?"
"Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would find it difficult, right?"
"Among those who are adept with fire, only the Huo Family of Fiery Flame College is known throughout the Continent. But even the dean of Fiery Flame College falls short, they couldn't possibly have such terrifying control," some clear-eyed people said, too shocked for words.
Laymen enjoyed the spectacle, but experts appreciated the technique, everyone watched the grand fireworks display, filled with excitement, shock, envy… all kinds of emotions swirled together.
Tianshui College was in an uproar, with girls screaming their lungs out, and even the teachers weren't doing anything about it, they themselves were too shocked to speak, feeling unbearably envious, let alone these young girls in the throes of spring?
They were not young anymore, but their hearts were still youthful. Who wouldn't want a sweet romance?
Shui Bing'er, dressed in an ice-blue gown with her aqua long hair cascading down her back, was staring blankly at her name appearing in the sky, followed by that string of incomprehensible symbols and the shape of a heart, her heart pounding chaotically.
Even though she couldn't understand what those symbols meant, at this moment, piecing together this scene, she wasn't foolish, naturally understanding what this signified.
Her eyes shone with a peculiar light, her heart beating so frantically she felt it might leap out of her chest, her body burning hot, and her face blushing profusely. She didn't know if it was because of shyness or excitement.
In Soul Land, where could there be so much flamboyance.
This was the first time such a scene had happened, leaving all the girls dumbstruck. They had never encountered such romance, even if they were not the heroines, they were extremely excited, let alone the actual heroine, Shui Bing'er?
"Xu Ran…" Shui Bing'er murmured Xu Ran's name softly, looking at the dazzling fireworks outside the window, smiling blissfully, that heartfelt smile briefly stealing the color from the world around.
Shui Bing'er knew it was Xu Ran. It couldn't possibly be anyone else.
With these thoughts, Shui Bing'er pushed past the people around her, and under everyone's gaze, ran out of the classroom. She wanted only to see Xu Ran now, to hold hands with Xu Ran, and do what lovers do…
She loved Xu Ran too…
…
At the entrance of Tianshui College.
The members of the Blazing Fire Team, watching this scene, were completely convinced, both emotionally and logically.
Not only was Xu Ran's strength boundless, but he was also so romantic, this scene left them dumbstruck.
How terrifying a strength must one have to reach this extent?
"That's way too strong."
"I've learned, I've learned."
"I'll try it next time too, even if I don't have such strength, I should be able to create some special fireworks," Huo Wushuang and the others said unanimously, their faces full of admiration.
Not to mention anything else, this move alone is bound to be the ultimate technique to sweep a girl off her feet.
Before long, this gesture may become all the rage across the Continent, a clichéd way to confess love in colleges, and Xu Ran's name will resonate once again. Along with his fame, he'll earn the titles of Love Sage and Casanova.
Huo Wu looked up at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, her heart brimming with envy. Even though she could be hot-tempered and a bit haughty, she was still a young girl. Confronted with such a scene, how could she not be moved?
The image of Xu Ran surfaced in her mind, and she suddenly found him less annoying, even quite handsome and good-looking. His strength was formidable, and he was so romantic...
Thinking it over, she didn't even know why she had been so angry before, insisting on challenging Xu Ran.
However, the thought of her soul skill, Flaming Sun Shining Dance, being used by Xu Ran to confess to another girl, stirred a bitter taste in her heart, a strange feeling of discomfort she couldn't describe.
"Shui Bing'er? Hmph." Huo Wu thought about the name of Shui Bing'er that had appeared in the sky and felt a suffocating frustration.
"Right, where's Xu Ran?" Huo Wu snapped back to reality, ready to find Xu Ran and admit defeat and apologize, but when she turned her head, there was no sign of Xu Ran anywhere.
"He left without even saying goodbye." Huo Wu pouted her lips, not knowing why, but she felt uneasy, as if she had lost something.
"You can go in now. Teacher Xu Ran has already given the heads up, there's no problem with your identities," the gatekeeper with the old-fashioned glasses said, pushing up his glasses, still reminiscing about the fireworks show.
If only she could have such a wild youth as well.
...
Shui Bing'er had just run out the door when she saw Xu Ran. She quickened her pace with her long legs and ran towards Xu Ran, throwing herself into his arms.
Shui Bing'er's eyes were rimmed with red, and her water-blue eyes were still slightly misty.
"Xu Ran, I love you too," Shui Bing'er boldly said, her heart completely open to Xu Ran after witnessing such a romantic scene, without any coy hesitation.
"Why are you crying?" Xu Ran caressed Shui Bing'er's long blue hair that reached down to her hips, speaking softly.
"I'm just so moved," Shui Bing'er said, holding Xu Ran tightly, feeling his broad and sturdy chest, her heart felt incredibly secure and peaceful.
"Now the whole college knows," Shui Bing'er said, thinking of the countless eyes on her when she ran out, but she wasn't shy, only deeply proud.
"So what if they know? After all, you're my girl, and they would eventually find out sooner or later," Xu Ran smiled, his hand stroking Shui Bing'er's back and buttocks, feeling her slender waist and the silky texture of her fine dress that made it exceptionally smooth to touch.
"Kiss me."
Shui Bing'er looked at Xu Ran, her eyes shyly closed, and she spoke boldly. She might have been reserved before, but right now her heart was still racing with excitement and joy. Seeing Xu Ran, she couldn't help but let her love for him show.
That was her Xu Ran, her one and only Xu Ran.
It went without saying that after today, her name too would become known along with the memory of that firework display.
"Okay," Xu Ran nodded, leaning in towards Shui Bing'er's soft lips.
During class time, the campus was rather quiet, and the two of them kissing in an embrace made for a beautiful scene.
Xu Ran held Shui Bing'er, his hand supporting her jade back, slowly laying her down on the grass.
