The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

“Okay, then I’d like you to come with me to an event, which you happen to be interested in as well.” Li Qing’s voice was clear and excited. She was clearly enthusiastic about the event, and the little bit of anticipation in her heart made her face even more lively.

"An event? What event?" Huang Feipeng was slightly taken aback. He didn't know what Li Qing was thinking, but a vague sense of unease rose in his heart. He tried to suppress his doubts and remain calm.

"It's just a campus cultural festival with lots of fun activities. I want you to come with me." Li Qing's eyes sparkled, as if she was filled with anticipation for the event.

"Well... I haven't decided whether to go or not." Huang Feipeng began to hesitate. Although he wanted to accompany Li Qing, he was worried that this event might complicate his relationship with her.

“I know you might have some concerns, but this is really important to me.” Li Qing’s voice became serious, and her eyes revealed a hint of expectation and longing. “I hope to spend this unforgettable time with you.”

"Okay, I'll consider it." Huang Feipeng struggled inwardly. He knew this was not just an ordinary event, but an opportunity that could change his relationship with Li Qing.

As time went by, their conversation became more relaxed. Li Qing told him about interesting things that happened on campus, and Huang Feipeng, influenced by her, gradually forgot his nervousness. Through their conversation, Huang Feipeng found that the youthful energy and sunny disposition emanating from Li Qing made him feel comfortable and happy.

"Feipeng, I would be so happy if you came to participate." Li Qing's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and her voice was as warm as a spring breeze, making Huang Feipeng's heart soften.

"I will try my best to arrange it." Huang Feipeng smiled slightly, his heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming event.

However, he was still struggling internally. Thinking about the argument with his parents and the unresolved issues, a sense of unease welled up inside him. He didn't know if he could balance his family and love life; it seemed like an insurmountable problem.

Just as he was lost in thought, Li Qing suddenly turned around, her gaze fixed on his face, as if she could read his mind. "Feipeng, what are you thinking about? Do you find me annoying?" She smiled slightly, her playful tone making Huang Feipeng feel a little relieved.

"No, no." Huang Feipeng quickly shook his head, inwardly marveling at how she always seemed to defuse his nervousness in this way. He hoped to close the distance between himself and Li Qing in this moment, but he was also afraid that such closeness would make him lose his way.

"Then you'd better think it over carefully! I'll be looking forward to your decision." Li Qing smiled, her smile as bright as the sun, warming Huang Feipeng's heart.

"Yes, I'll think it through." Huang Feipeng's tone gradually became firm. Although he was still a little uneasy, he realized that he was no longer choosing silence simply to escape. He needed to face his feelings and bravely pursue them.

As time went on, their conversation became more relaxed, Li Qing's topics expanded, and Huang Feipeng was gradually infected by her energy. Until finally, they almost forgot the passage of time, until the waiter reminded them that it was time to pay the bill.

"See you next time, I'll be waiting for your good news." Li Qing stood up, a warm smile on her face, seemingly full of anticipation for the future.

"I will definitely give you an answer." Huang Feipeng responded with a smile, secretly making up his mind that no matter what, he would bravely face his feelings.

Huang Feipeng stepped out of the coffee shop. The sun was still shining brightly, but it brought little warmth to his face. His conversation with Li Qing was still echoing in his mind, and his inner frustration grew stronger. He wanted to pursue her, but he was also troubled by various concerns, as if an invisible force was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

"What am I worried about?" he muttered to himself, silently blaming himself. This indecisiveness made him feel incredibly uneasy, as if every step of his life was bound in an invisible cage. He thought of his parents' expectations, of the arguments at home, and the inner struggle left him feeling utterly exhausted.

"Am I really right for her?" Huang Feipeng lowered his head, looking at the ground beneath his feet, as if searching for an answer. Li Qing was lively and cheerful, full of dreams and passion, while he was always held back by the constraints of reality, feeling unable to keep up with her pace. This unease and inferiority complex made it impossible for him to face this relationship.

"Feipeng! What's wrong?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in his ears. He looked up and saw his good friend Wang Lei walking over. Wang Lei always had an optimistic attitude and could always offer Huang Feipeng encouragement at crucial moments.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about some things." Huang Feipeng forced a smile, but he knew in his heart that he didn't want to hide anything.

"You don't look too good. Is there some new development between you and Li Qing?" Wang Lei sat down next to him, a sly glint in his eyes. He had always been curious about the relationship between Huang Feipeng and Li Qing and was always eager to discuss their feelings.

“She invited me to an event.” Huang Feipeng’s voice was a little downcast, then he added, “But I haven’t decided yet.” He knew in his heart that this attitude seemed too negative, and Wang Lei would definitely be unhappy about it.

"Go for it! This is a fantastic opportunity!" Wang Lei encouraged, his eyes full of enthusiasm. "Don't hesitate any longer. It's rare for a girl to take the initiative to invite you; we guys can't miss such an opportunity."

“But I really don’t know what to do.” Huang Feipeng shook his head helplessly, his mind in turmoil. “She has such a cheerful personality, and I feel that I am very ordinary and not good enough for her at all.”

“What are you thinking! Even if you’re a bit mediocre, you’re still an interesting person.” Wang Lei patted Huang Feipeng on the shoulder, his voice firm. “How will you know the outcome if you don’t try? You have to believe in yourself! Not everyone has the courage to pursue their feelings.”

Huang Feipeng felt a surge of warmth in his heart; his friend's encouragement offered him some comfort. However, the worry in his heart still lingered. He knew in his heart that pursuing love was not an easy thing; he might face rejection, or even lose Li Qing as a friend. His emotions were like a tangled ball of yarn, becoming more and more chaotic the more he tried to untangle it.

“I want to try, but I’m afraid…” He paused, hesitated, and then sighed, “I don’t want to lose my friendships because of pursuing a relationship.”
