Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 27

Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission, gaining seventy-two hours of survival time.

It was six o’clock in the morning, and the sky was still dim.

Xia Meng had gone to bed too early the previous night and didn’t even know that the person sleeping next to her was Tao Yun; otherwise, she would have been too excited to fall asleep. Fortunately, she slept early and woke up early.

Both were in the same bed. Xia Meng was half-lying, stealthily inching closer to Tao Yun, seeking a good morning kiss.

The distance was so close she could clearly see the tremor of the eyelashes.

It was as if the Sleeping Beauty would wake up in the next second, open her beautiful eyes, and look mockingly at the audacious little thief in front of her.

The room was quiet.

From time to time, the sound of the sleeping person’s breathing could be heard. Lin Ruoruo smacked her lips, apparently dreaming of something delicious.

Xia Meng’s heart was pounding like thunder. She looked at Tao Yun with affection, feeling like something had suddenly cracked open, wavering precariously, about to hit her by surprise.

She supported herself above Tao Yun, her pupils trembling, her cheeks flushed hot.

She had defiled her goddess…

The System was speechless.

A good morning kiss doesn’t specify where to kiss. Why are you such a coward?

The kiss was on the forehead, yet the posture and the reaction.

It was as if she had stolen the person’s first kiss. The atmosphere was enough to make one blush, but the reality was completely innocent.

It was simply a blank-sheet-of-paper good morning kiss.

Xia Meng covered her face.

Don’t talk.

The little thief felt guilty.

She mumbled a few words. This kind of thing should definitely happen when both parties are awake. Tao Yun hadn’t woken up, so how could she possibly take Tao Yun’s first kiss?

Xia Meng stood firm on her principles.

She tip-toed past Tao Yun and climbed out of bed.

Before the kiss, she hoped Tao Yun would wake up; after the kiss, she was terrified that she would wake up. Xia Meng rushed to the bathroom, splashed cold water on her face, and then stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror.

Uh, the person in the mirror was smiling with a hint of longing.

Am I still straight?

Host, are you joking?

Tao Yun woke up.

When she woke up, the space beside her was empty, but the sheets still held residual warmth, suggesting Xia Meng had just woken up as well. Tao Yun stretched like a large, half-asleep cat, yawning with narrowed eyes, feeling a little regretful.

Xia Meng had actually woken up earlier than her. She had planned to call her to get up.

To see her struggle to stay in bed but still have to get up.

She wondered if she would have another chance.

Tao Yun sat up, slipped her feet into her slippers, and was about to get up when the door opened and Xia Meng came in.

She had already washed up, and the fine, scattered hairs at her temples were slightly damp. Xia Meng’s face, like her personality, looked delicate and tender, always making people want to pinch it a couple of times.

When Xia Meng saw Tao Yun, she was nervous: “You… you’re awake.”

Tao Yun looked at Xia Meng.

Seeing her dodge her gaze and a blush rise on her cheeks, Tao Yun had a feeling she had missed out on a million dollars.

She cautiously asked, “You got up so early?”

Xia Meng had no talent for lying. Startled by the question, she thoroughly conveyed the attitude of someone who had done something wrong, yet still argued: “I slept very soundly last night, so… I woke up early.”

After she spoke, she encouraged herself, urging herself to stay calm.

It wasn’t a lie, she did sleep well and wake up early! As for what she did after getting up, Tao Yun didn’t ask.

Tao Yun drew out her voice: “Oh—”

The little one was hiding something from her.

If she weren’t mindful of Xia Meng’s upcoming exam, Tao Yun definitely wouldn’t let this opportunity slide.

It would be a good way to compensate for the regret of not being able to wake Xia Meng up.

The sound of their conversation woke up Lin Ruoruo, but she usually woke up early anyway and didn’t mind.

Sporting a messy ‘bird’s nest’ hairdo, she looked at the washed-up Xia Meng and the awake Tao Yun: “Why are you two up so early?”

Tao Yun: “If you’re not planning to get up, then I can ask Auntie Lin to arrange a leave of absence for you.”

Lin Ruoruo: “…”

That won’t be necessary. She just wanted a little more sleep; she wasn’t planning on sleeping forever. Lin Ruoruo took out her frustration on Lu Qian, pushing her awake with no gentle mercy.

The awakened Lu Qian: “!!!”

An earthquake?

Lin Ruoruo retracted her hand, realizing she had pushed a little too hard.

Tao Yun walked past her and left the room. Lu Qian, realizing there was no earthquake, lay back down to continue sleeping. She would not get up until the very last second.

Lin Ruoruo: So irritating!

They weren’t giving her any face! They were all too much!

She shifted her gaze to the junior student: “Come here, I’ll tell you a secret.”

Xia Meng was still thinking about that good morning kiss.

The motive and the action were innocent, but after splashing cold water on her face, how could Xia Meng’s thoughts remain innocent? Hearing Lin Ruoruo’s words, she muttered, “Oh.”

Lin Ruoruo: “Don’t follow Tao Yun and learn bad things…”

She used to call her ‘Senior Sister’ so obediently and sensibly, but now she’s following Tao Yun and showing no respect for her senior! Lin Ruoruo felt it was necessary to teach her a lesson.

So she added: “It’s a secret about Tao Yun, a big secret!”

The junior student was so well-behaved; the one who needed to be taught a lesson could only be Tao Yun.

She was the one leading the junior astray. Lin Ruoruo smiled like a big bad wolf, luring Xia Meng, the little white rabbit, over.

Xia Meng was no little white rabbit, but she was happy to pretend to be one.

She immediately knelt down in front of Lin Ruoruo, her eyes brighter than the morning sun: “Senior Sister, please tell me!”

Tao Yun’s big secret!

Lin Ruoruo and Tao Yun had known each other for so long, so she must know some untold things.

For example, no one in the entire school knew that Tao Yun worked part-time at a convenience store until Lin Ruoruo took her there. So, what would Lin Ruoruo tell her this time?

Xia Meng was extremely expectant.

Lin Ruoruo whispered: “Tao Yun, she…”

Xia Meng’s curiosity was completely piqued.

“She doesn’t drink soy milk!”

Xia Meng didn’t say anything. She double-checked. Lin Ruoruo’s ‘big secret’ was just this? Just this!

Everyone has something they don’t like to eat. What kind of secret is that?

Lin Ruoruo felt that Xia Meng was unteachable: “Sigh, you don’t get it. Just watch!”

She stood up and went downstairs to find Lin Mama.

Lin Mama was preparing breakfast. Seeing Lin Ruoruo and Xia Meng, she greeted them with a smile: “What do you want for breakfast?”

Xia Meng felt she wasn’t that picky and politely replied, “Anything is fine.”

Lin Ruoruo: “Mom, I want soy milk!”

Lin Mama: You look like a cup of soy milk.

Lin Mama: “It’s too late to go buy soy milk now. Buy a cup on your way to school.”

Lin Ruoruo: “No, I want to drink it at home.”

Lin Mama: Don’t make me hit you!

Xia Meng didn’t understand, only feeling that Lin Ruoruo was asking to be hit. If she wanted a beating, why be so subtle? Tell her, and she’d step in for Lin Mama.

Lin Mama probably gave Lin Ruoruo face because of the guests.

She opened the refrigerator and actually found some soybeans.

They weren’t very fresh, but never mind, it was for Lin Ruoruo to drink anyway.

If she wants to drink it, let her drink herself to death!

Lu Qian woke up shortly after and came downstairs half-asleep.

Breakfast was ready, and there was a cup of freshly squeezed soy milk from Lin Mama, placed in front of Lin Ruoruo. Then Lin Mama returned to the kitchen to prepare to pour milk for Xia Meng and the others.

Lu Qian looked at the cup of soy milk, still half-asleep: “Why do you only get one?”

Feeling a bit disgruntled, she wanted to snatch it from Lin Ruoruo, but Lin Ruoruo blocked her, refusing to give it.

“How dare you snatch it? Soy milk is good for the brain, it’s for the two poor little things who’ve been overusing their brains!” Lin Ruoruo boomed, startling Lu Qian.

She then eagerly handed the soy milk to Tao Yun.

“You are competing in the Physics competition; you expend more brainpower, please take it!”

Lu Qian stared at this sycophant with wide eyes.

Tao Yun expressionlessly looked at the cup of soy milk pushed in front of her.

Then, she pushed the soy milk toward Xia Meng: “You have an exam today, you drink it.”

Xia Meng carefully examined Tao Yun.

She was perfectly disguised, not at all looking like someone who disliked soy milk.

She immediately understood why this was a big secret.

Tao Yun, who disliked soy milk but still kept it a secret, was just too adorable! Lin Ruoruo, well done! The corners of Xia Meng’s mouth couldn’t stop twitching. Suppressing her laughter, her voice trembled as she spoke: “No, you still have to tutor me; you work harder…”

Lin Ruoruo nodded in satisfaction, seeing Xia Meng catching on.

With some effort, she could learn!

The two of them worked together, watching Tao Yun’s contradictory cuteness.

Tao Yun was too composed and calm, seemingly capable of handling anything with ease. Unexpectedly, she was defeated by a cup of soy milk. Her eyes looked conflicted as the soy milk was pushed back in front of her.

She also didn’t want to admit that she was a picky eater who didn’t like soy milk.

After all, soy milk was a very common breakfast item. Tao Yun secretly competed with herself, but in the eyes of Xia Meng and Lin Ruoruo, she instantly became ten degrees cuter.

Lu Qian couldn’t understand what the fuss was about with a cup of soy milk.

If it really came down to it, she could drink it…

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the voices of Xia Meng and Lin Ruoruo rang out simultaneously: “Soy milk is good for your health!”

Lu Qian: …

Tao Yun was stuck between a rock and a hard place and could only accept Xia Meng’s ‘good intentions.’ But she was truly troubled. The look in her eyes as she stared at the soy milk was somewhat sacrificial.

No! Tao Yun made another decision.

She poured the soy milk into two cups: “Let’s drink it together.”

Half a cup for you, half a cup for me. Tao Yun and Xia Meng held half a cup of soy milk, making Lin Ruoruo and Lu Qian, who had none, look a little dull.

It’s just a cup of soy milk! Is it that big of a deal?!

Lin Ruoruo hadn’t expected her teasing attempt to backfire, suffering a blow not much less than the victim herself.

Xia Meng chuckled: “Okay~” Drinking the same cup of soy milk as Tao Yun didn’t feel bad. Most importantly, Tao Yun now looked exactly like a child who hated bitter medicine but had to drink it.

Everything about her was so cute.

Xia Meng had admired enough: “If you don’t like it, you don’t have to drink it.”

It’s not good to force yourself to drink something you don’t like; there’s no need to be so reluctant.

Tao Yun: “No, I don’t dislike it.”

Then she drank it all in one gulp.

Xia Meng: “…”

She followed suit and drank the other half cup.

Lin Mama, who came out with the milk, saw the two of them drinking the soy milk together: “…”

That cup of soy milk wasn’t very fresh.

It was meant to torture Lin Ruoruo. How did those two unfortunate children end up drinking it?

Lin Ruoruo only felt she had profited after seeing Tao Yun drink the soy milk.

Tao Yun must have suffered more damage than she did!

Then she saw Lin Mama’s dumbfounded expression: “Xia Meng and Tao Yun both have exams coming up, so I let them drink it first.”

Lin Mama looked down at the milk in her hand, regretting that she hadn’t put the milk out first.

It was better than soy milk, somehow.

Seeing that Xia Meng’s and Tao Yun’s cups were empty, Lin Mama tried hard to smile: “It’s alright, you can both have another cup of milk.”

Hopefully, nothing would happen.

Tao Yun was slowly sipping her milk, trying to wash away the soy milk taste in her mouth.

Xia Meng just watched her drink.

Mainly, she watched the lips touching the glass, which were rosy and made her want to take a bite. She also drank her milk, feeling a little melancholy.

Some opportunities, once missed, are gone forever.

The current her couldn’t bring herself to say “good morning kiss” or take the opportunity to sneak a kiss. Since she was a thief, why not be a thorough one? Why try to be an honorable gentleman under the beams?

She missed it.

Tao Yun looked up at Xia Meng, sensing something.

She didn’t know what Xia Meng was regretting, but some people would never know what they missed.
