Chapter 245 The Obsessed Girl in the Farming Reality Show (53)

Amidst the dazzling brilliance and clamor before him, only Tang Qing's words echoed repeatedly in Nan Gongjing's mind.

Only in darkness can you truly see the light...

The suffocating feeling from earlier miraculously faded, and Nan Gongjing regained his steady breathing. Tang Qing's face, now before him, appeared clearer than ever...

System Alert: "Detected increase in Nan Gongjing's Affection Level. Current Affection Level: 83."

"Detected increase in Nan Gongjing's Affection Level. Current Affection Level: 89."

[Livestream Chat]: "Nan Gongjing looks weird—is it just me, or is he staring at Tang Qing?"

[Livestream Chat]: "Tang Qing's words sound so deep... The darker it is, the brighter it becomes. What's with their cryptic conversation?"

Many viewers in the livestream vaguely sensed that the conversation between the two held deeper meaning.

Especially Nan Gongjing's gaze, which had undergone a noticeable shift. This usually charming romantic seemed to have finally found his lasting focus, his true north...

"Here." On camera, Feng Xingzhou suddenly handed Tang Qing a handful of sparklers, interrupting Nan Gongjing's gaze.

"Everyone's outside."

The Film Emperor said flatly, revealing no excess emotion. Only the slight furrow of his brows hinted at quiet irritation...

Following Feng Xingzhou's words, the first firework bloomed outside, bursting across the sky like falling stars. Amidst the brilliant light, Ye Yunyun squealed with excitement, "Wow! So beautiful!"

"Hurry, hurry! Pei Chen, go light the rest!"

Bossing Pei Chen around, she sent him running back and forth as more and more fireworks lit up the sky, dazzlingly bright.

To the guests, it was their best night at the cottage yet.

The cameras captured the profiles of all seven guests looking up simultaneously, their eyes reflecting the fiery glow of the fireworks, brilliantly lit.

"This is awesome! It's been so long since I last set off fireworks..."

"Since the show started, the seven of them have gotten way closer..."

"Who else feels it? Seeing Feng Shen and Tang Qing standing together just looks so harmonious? I’m shipping them already—fight me!"

...

After the fireworks display ended, Nan Gongjing stopped Tang Qing once more.

In his hand, he still held the spent sparkler, still faintly warm.

"Was today's event your arrangement?"

In the cottage, only Tang Qing knew about his claustrophobia—and only she would go out of her way to plan something like this for him...

"Thank you."

Nan Gongjing understood clearly—it had always been this person before him, pushing him toward a new perspective.

"Tang Qing..."

"There's one more thing I want to tell you tonight." His fingers lightly twisted the end of the sparkler. A veteran of too many confessions, Nan Gongjing was already an old pro at this.

But this time, for some reason, he felt nervous.

"I think... I've fallen for you."

Nan Gongjing murmured softly as his gentle gaze once again met Tang Qing's eyes. "Even if today isn't the perfect moment, even if I came unprepared... I still wanted to tell you..."

Normally, Nan Gongjing would make every confession a big production—with carefully planned romantic gestures, he had never failed before.

He'd known about his feelings for Tang Qing for a while.

He had been waiting for the perfect moment, even beginning to plan how to confess to her...

But tonight, he just couldn't wait any longer.

He'd said "I love you" so many times before, but only this time did he feel an uncontrollable impulse.

Just looking at her was enough—he just couldn't hide how he felt anymore.

"Tang Qing, I like you."

Under the moonlight, Nan Gongjing looked intently at Tang Qing and repeated his words.

Before Tang Qing could respond, Ye Yunyun's voice suddenly interrupted, "Huh? Tang Qing, you really are here!"

Her loud interruption shattered the lingering ambiguity in the air.

"Tang Qing, do you have any extra sparklers left?"

"Grand Film Emperor told me you have them all!"

In her excitement, Tang Qing noticed something strange and asked, "He told you to come find me?"

Ye Yunyun nodded cheerfully. "Yeah!"

"Grand Film Emperor said you were over here..." As she spoke, Ye Yunyun suddenly felt the temperature around her drop and instinctively hugged herself, muttering, "Weird, did it get colder?"

Completely oblivious to the dark expression in Nan Gongjing's eyes, she continued, "The weather forecast didn't mention a temperature drop tonight..."

Without missing a beat, Tang Qing smiled faintly and handed all the remaining sparklers to Ye Yunyun. "Here, I have them all."

"I'll go with you..."

Ye Yunyun was overjoyed!

Her idol was going to set off sparklers with her alone!

She grabbed Tang Qing's hand and ran off. As they turned away, Nan Gongjing called out once more, "Tang Qing..."

But she didn't look back.

He already knew the answer.

"As expected..." he thought.

"Bad timing."

Feeling dejected, Nan Gongjing suddenly felt a sharp sting on his fingertip. Looking down, he saw the sparkler he was holding.

A last spark was still burning, dripping onto the back of his hand—leaving a small red burn.

"Did you burn yourself?"

Nan Gongjing casually flicked away the ashes, his usual gentle eyes now inexplicably tinged with bitterness. He let out a bitter chuckle, "Just a little red mark... why does it sting so much?"

That night, Feng Xingzhou, who rarely updated his Weibo, posted again. The photo showed the night sky above the cabin, ablaze with dazzling fireworks.

"Mountains and fields stretching for miles, the warmth of everyday life—you’re in all of it."

"First comment! Deity’s at it again with the lovey-dovey talk!"

"This is so similar to the line on the bookmark: 'Rivers and mountains, sun, moon, and stars—none measure up to you.'"

"Who can tell me where Deity even gets these lines? Pretty romantic..."

...

No one knew that amid this grand display of fireworks, Feng Xingzhou had seen only one person the entire time—Tang Qing.

"Heh heh, wifey wrote this for you!"

Seeing Feng Xingzhou's latest Weibo post, the system immediately forwarded it to Tang Qing, letting out a giddy fangirl squeal. "He used the same words as your confession! Did he overhear Nan Gongjing's confession today? That's why he posted this just for you to see?"

While the system gleefully rooted for them, Tang Qing gave Feng Xingzhou's post a like.

But right after liking it, she received a private message from Feng Xingzhou:

"Tang Qing, you saw my Weibo post."

"Huh? How does wifey know your Weibo account?" The system was shocked, double-checking to confirm it was indeed the actor himself replying.

"This is what I wanted to tell you tonight."

"Mountains and fields stretching for miles, the warmth of everyday life—everywhere I look, it’s you."

This time, Feng Xingzhou sent a voice message. His deep, slightly rough voice said, "Tang Qing, you’re choosing me, right?"

The system, watching from the sidelines, let out a high-pitched squeal!

"Hurry! Say yes!"

"Tang Qing, just say yes already!"

"He really did hear Nan Gongjing’s confession—he’s asking for your answer!"
