Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 12

“You…”

Xia Meng’s breathing hitched.

She touched her cheek with the back of her hand; Tao Yun’s finger had just brushed across it, causing a shiver.

This left Xia Meng feeling a little lost right now.

She opened her eyes wide and watched Tao Yun casually withdraw her hand, so she didn’t say anything.

It was just that the residual heat in the air was a little high.

The atmosphere wasn’t quite right.

Xia Meng frowned, wondering why Tao Yun was being so flirtatious.

Was it unconscious, or…

She likes me!

Xia Meng fidgeted; she was sure Tao Yun liked her, otherwise why would she do such an intimate thing? Thinking that she was the one who confessed first, Xia Meng felt a tiny bit shy.

Oh dear, it’s all my fault; I’m too charming.

The System couldn’t stand it any longer.

Get a grip!

Xia Meng.

I was just kidding!

Tao Yun was merely helping her wipe off the dust she had gotten on her face; this action was completely normal. What was there to like or dislike?

That’s right, that’s it! Xia Meng tried her best to hide the flutter she had just felt.

She secretly sneaked a look at Tao Yun, her face flushed.

At this moment, Xia Meng was no longer a small lemon sprite but a juicy peach.

Pink, tender, and succulent.

This tutoring session was a bit improper.

Xia Meng suppressed the random thoughts surging up. She cleared her throat slightly: “Tutoring—”

The tutoring was proper; the improper one was herself.

Xia Meng stared blankly at Tao Yun’s slender fingers.

Tao Yun: “…”

Tao Yun drew her fingers back a little. She didn’t know why, but her fingertips felt a little hot.

Could temperature be contagious? She froze, her eyelashes slightly trembling.

Tutoring…

Tao Yun: “Let me see your homework so I can understand your learning progress.”

Her manner was captivating, but her words were cruel.

Xia Meng handed her homework book to Tao Yun with a mournful expression, pitifully biting her lower lip, hoping Tao Yun wouldn’t be too shocked later.

And even more, she hoped Tao Yun wouldn’t wonder how she got into No. 1 High School.

Tao Yun flipped through a few pages. How to put it?

It was atrocious.

“Do you know that teachers will give points based on handwriting?”

Tao Yun closed the workbook and said seriously to Xia Meng. She couldn’t figure out why a girl who looked so well-behaved wrote such wild and unrestrained characters.

Or did she have a heart that yearned for freedom?

Xia Meng: “I… I do know about that.”

Her handwriting was indeed a bit ugly.

“Besides that, what about my academic level?” Xia Meng changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Tao Yun had to rub the bridge of her nose.

The handwriting was too messy, making it hard to read. Xia Meng’s knowledge base was too weak, barely passing, and it was obvious she usually didn’t feel much pressure.

She was very much a ‘take it as it comes’ person.

At least she wanted to do well in this upcoming mid-term exam.

Tao Yun thought for a moment: “It’s definitely too late to teach you now. I can only give you a few practice questions.”

A top student guessing questions? She could do that!

Xia Meng’s eyes lit up: “Then let’s start!”

“Okay…”

As soon as Tao Yun’s words fell, another voice immediately rang out: “Start what?”

A girl stood at the doorway of Class 1-1’s classroom. She looked at the two people inside and took a deep breath.

There was a hint of anger in her eyes.

She hadn’t expected to come back to the classroom looking for Tao Yun and discover the presence of another girl.

This must be the girl who confessed to Tao Yun on the playground.

Chu Yun looked at her. Just as others had said, she was a very cute girl, with harmless eyes and a somewhat carefree smile.

However, that was only when she was facing Tao Yun. Upon seeing Chu Yun, she immediately stopped smiling and took a step back awkwardly.

Chu Yun: “This is Class 1-1. What are you doing here?”

Tao Yun: “Tutoring.”

Xia Meng: “…”

She felt that something wasn’t right, but she couldn’t say anything.

The current situation looked a bit like a girlfriend catching her partner cheating, and she was the ‘little green tea,’ only daring to hide behind Tao Yun, seeming very scheming.

Thinking of this, Xia Meng distanced herself from Tao Yun.

Then she felt it wasn’t right again; she wasn’t a ‘green tea’ either! Tutoring was open and aboveboard, what was wrong with it?

Then she thought again that this was Class 1-1, and it was indeed a little improper for her to be here.

System, are you that conflicted?

Xia Meng secretly looked at Chu Yun.

This girl was so refined.

She was dressed neatly and wore light makeup that violated school rules, but due to her defined features, it wasn’t obvious unless you looked closely.

She was a pretty older sister.

Xia Meng shifted her gaze to Tao Yun.

Female Lead 1 and Female Lead 2. She seemed like an inconspicuous minor cannon fodder.

Tao Yun: “I asked her to come to Class 1-1. She’ll leave in a moment.”

Chu Yun pursed her lips tightly.

She then showed a smile: “It must be revision, right? The mid-term exam is coming up soon. Can I join you?”

I’m not here to destroy you; I’m here to join you.

The System suddenly spoke.

Xia Meng: “…”

System, why are your words so strange?

The System reminded her.

Host, revision is what top students do, and what you need is tutoring—

Xia Meng scratched her head. Hearing the System say it, she felt a little embarrassed.

As a poor student, she didn’t have the privilege of revision.

Damn it, she must rise up!

Tao Yun: “No, we are tutoring.”

Xia Meng: “I don’t need to revise!”

The two voices rang out simultaneously. Tao Yun looked at Xia Meng.

Xia Meng shrank her neck. She really didn’t need to revise. Since she hadn’t learned anything, revision was useless.

She hadn’t said anything wrong.

Tao Yun: “…”

Forget it, it was all the same anyway.

Chu Yun didn’t know what to say after hearing their conversation.

She looked at Tao Yun.

“You’re about to participate in the Physics Olympiad. Can you still spare time to tutor someone?”

Tao Yun: “It’s fine.”

Xia Meng.

I feel like Tao Yun is being overly cold to this girl.

System.

Heh heh

Really! Xia Meng timidly lowered her presence.

Why did she dare to confess to Tao Yun? Wasn’t it because she saw that Tao Yun had a good temper?

Even if she were rejected, Tao Yun wouldn’t say anything hurtful, and she could leave comfortably. Not like now; Xia Meng could clearly sense Tao Yun’s emotion.

She wasn’t very happy.

This, in turn, made her mood low. Xia Meng was confused and just wanted to leave this trouble spot.

At this moment, the System.

You have two options.

Xia Meng widened her eyes, feeling a bad premonition.

Option 1: Say loudly, “I only want to be with Tao Yun.” You have one minute remaining. Completion reward: twenty-four hours of survival time

Option 2: Deduct seventy-two hours of survival time.

Xia Meng: …

Isn’t this punishment too much?! Seventy-two hours! Does she still want to live?!

This was forcing her to choose Option 1!

What’s wrong with this mission system?!

Xia Meng questioned.

System.

It’s angry.

… This mission system is toxic. Can’t it generate some better missions?

Why must it drag her into the center of the event?

Can’t she just lie low and be a carefree slacker? Why force her to announce her existence so flamboyantly?

What would Tao Yun think of her after she said that?!

Xia Meng’s legs were shaking. Her tongue twisted, and she couldn’t quite say it. The countdown was entering the last ten seconds.

Just as Chu Yun was about to say something else.

Xia Meng: “I only want to be with Tao Yun!”

Xia Meng’s voice echoed in the classroom.

It carried the involuntary feeling of a martyr slitting a wrist, instantly shocking the two people.

What would Tao Yun think of her?

She tremblingly turned her head to look at Tao Yun, afraid of encountering an unusual look.

Tao Yun’s expression was calm.

Right, she had confessed to Tao Yun before. Saying something like this was completely normal. What was there to be surprised about?

It’s not like she’d never seen the world.

Xia Meng, who had never seen the world but was forced to make a grand display, also calmed down.

She didn’t see the slight uplift of Tao Yun’s lips, clearly indicating she was in a good mood.

Chu Yun was greatly moved: “Do you like Tao Yun that much?”

Xia Meng: “…”

In a way, she really did only want to be with Tao Yun.

So she didn’t argue.

Chu Yun felt down: “Alright.”

Tao Yun’s lack of reaction to Xia Meng’s bold statement explained everything.

She tacitly agreed.

Chu Yun saw Tao Yun lean closer to Xia Meng. The two were very close, seemingly having an intimate relationship. Facing the oblivious Xia Meng, Chu Yun felt an indescribable envy.

“I’m going back to the Student Union.”

She left this sentence and hurried away, her back forlorn.

Ugh.

Xia Meng asked: “Continue tutoring?”

Tao Yun: “Do you still want to waste time?”

Xia Meng certainly didn’t mean that. She just felt that after saying those words, she somehow felt that their current situation was less like tutoring and more like…

A date.

Dating in the classroom was too strange, even in Class 1-1.

Xia Meng shook off this illusion and forced herself into a good study atmosphere.

She couldn’t waste the spiritual energy of Class 1-1!

Tao Yun: “Let’s go.”

Xia Meng: “Ah? Where to?”

Tao Yun: “Tutoring in the classroom isn’t ideal. Let’s go out and find a place.”

Xia Meng: “…”

But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it really become a date?

Xia Meng followed Tao Yun as if she hadn’t woken up. She should be grateful that there weren’t many people in the school right now.

No one would see the two of them walking together, and no one would mistakenly think they were already dating.

Tao Yun was simply acting out of kindness, providing assistance and poverty relief to Xia Meng, the poor student.

Xia Meng thought a lot along the way.

Her spirits suddenly lifted. After convincing herself, she felt a little sulky again.

She just didn’t expect to bump into Lin Ruoruo.

Lin Ruoruo stood at the school gate: “You finally came.”

She let out a long sigh and walked up to the two in a couple of steps, greeting Xia Meng.

“Yo, little junior, you look great today.”

She then turned to Tao Yun to complain: “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you!”

“I told myself you wouldn’t stay in the classroom; you must have gone to pick up the little junior. Next time you go to pick up the little junior, please call me to come along, okay?”

Lin Ruoruo had waited for a while and kept rattling on and on.

Tao Yun: “Why were you waiting for me?”

Lin Ruoruo: “Didn’t you stop doing part-time jobs? Since you have rare free time, let me treat you to a meal. Little junior, you come too.”

Xia Meng: “…”

Lin Ruoruo: “The Student Union didn’t say anything today, but you must report back in a few days. Oh, right, little junior, do you have any thoughts about joining the Student Union? I heard you’re going to be the flag bearer. Why not take this opportunity, and I’ll recommend you to join the Student Union?”

Xia Meng: “…”

Lin Ruoruo: “Let me tell you, joining the Student Union has benefits. Although there are a lot of tasks, you can just be a regular member and only go occasionally. It affects your evaluation score after graduation. Huh, why isn’t the little junior saying anything?”

Tao Yun said calmly: “She must have been annoyed.”

Lin Ruoruo looked around: “Huh? Annoyed by whom?”

It wasn’t quite being annoyed.

It was just that Xia Meng asked the System casually.

Would that sentence I just said be useful if I said it again?

System.

You can try it.
