Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 30.1

The re-examination came to its final day.

By the third day, everyone felt quite confident.

Many kind-hearted students posted answers on the school forum, and checking them gave everyone a good idea of their scores.

Class 8 achieved an unprecedented class average this time, improving even further than the last time when they all simply passed. Given that the test questions were completely different, this result convinced most people.

The final day arrived.

Class 8 was joyous, already discussing the teachers’ apology and completely unconcerned about making mistakes on the final two exams.

Because their current performance was already incredibly impressive!

Su Hui’s nose was practically pointing at the sky: “I’m not bragging, but I actually look down on Class 1 now!”

“Come on, you only got four A’s.”

After some discussion, they noticed Xia Meng hadn’t joined the conversation and called out, “What did you score?”

Xia Meng looked up.

It took her a moment to realize they were celebrating: “I’m still a bit behind Class 1.”

Su Hui: “…”

He felt like Xia Meng was undermining him. Humph, she was already starting to play favorites! He sulked.

Then, he handed the lunchboxes he brought to Xia Meng.

Xia Meng stared at the six neatly packed lunchboxes, utterly puzzled. What was going on! She had only asked for four!

Six was far too many!

Xia Meng softly asked: “Are the other two for you?”

Su Hui: “Nope, mine are on my desk. I just thought you guys might not eat enough.”

Xia Meng: Four people and six lunchboxes—that seemed understandable.

Su Hui: While two people and six lunchboxes was an exaggeration, it was always good for the kids to eat their fill.

Xia Meng didn’t understand Su Hui’s grandmotherly concern, but she didn’t want to disappoint his kindness, so she accepted the six lunchboxes. A classmate saw them and shouted that it was bad luck: “Why didn’t you bring them over at noon! Seeing them now is a terrible omen!”

Xia Meng: “…”

Right, why didn’t you bring them at noon so we could eat them warm?

Seeing the questioning look in Xia Meng’s eyes, Su Hui scratched his head. He had originally planned to have his family bring them over at noon. But the thought of these six lunchboxes being entrusted to Xia Meng, for her to share with Tao Yun…

It just got the better of him.

He kept thinking, the sooner he gave them to her, the sooner they would eat, and the sooner he could revel in his own simple joy. So, he rushed them to be made.

The six lunchboxes—he had specially bought them at the supermarket last night.

Such a proactive CP fan was hard to find, how dare you, Xia Meng, complain! Su Hui said: “You’re still growing. If you get hungry midway, you can have a snack.”

Xia Meng: “…”

She placed her hand on top of her head to indicate her height, then thought of Tao Yun’s height.

She sighed along with Su Hui. She really wanted to grow taller, taller than Tao Yun, so she could bend down and do those pink, bubbly things.

Xia Meng and Su Hui simultaneously: “Sigh—”

The proctor who walked into the examination room: “…”

He was the one who wanted to sigh! He had proctored Class 8 twice in less than a week! And Class 8 improved every time. Before he could even be happy, he had to go back and face the doubts of certain teachers!

He wanted to tell those teachers: If you have a problem, you come and do it.

The proctor couldn’t say that; they were colleagues, after all. And to the students of Class 8, anything the proctor said would be hollow.

Today was the last day.

Only half a day was left.

Xia Meng carried the six lunchboxes to find Tao Yun.

Along the way, this girl, who was not very tall and even looked a bit cute, drew the attention of many people. They all thought: Not tall, but she eats a lot…

Xia Meng avoided their gazes, becoming the new resident stealth master.

She crept her way towards Tao Yun’s teaching building, but on her stealthy route, Xia Meng ran into a familiar stranger.

It was the girl she had met the first time she came to this teaching building to look for Tao Yun. The girl had even given Xia Meng directions. She had healthy, wheat-colored skin and an energetic, boundless vitality.

Stealth Master Xia Meng: “…”

The girl saw Xia Meng and turned to greet her.

Xia Meng bent her waist even lower.

System: You’ve already been spotted, why bother.

Xia Meng: I really can’t eat six lunchboxes by myself! They’re for the others too!

Don’t worry.

Xia Meng actually thought the system would comfort her.

Maybe this girl can also eat six servings.

No, no, even though she looked like an athlete, she couldn’t possibly eat six servings! Xia Meng defended the girl, who finished greeting her companion and started walking toward Xia Meng.

Seeing she couldn’t hide, Xia Meng could only stand up, burying her head in the sand by hiding the lunchboxes behind her back.

I wonder what she wants… Xia Meng hoped she would leave quickly and not become the next Lin Ruoruo.

The girl greeted her: “You guys must be done with your exams.”

Last time she asked about the confession. This time she was asking about Class 8’s re-examination. Every time, Xia Meng was at the center of the vortex. The girl was the gossip-eater, and Xia Meng was the main dish.

Xia Meng: “Yes, we did okay.”

To prevent the girl from asking how they did, she answered preemptively, thus avoiding unnecessary chatter and immediately ending the topic!

Xia Meng felt like a social genius.

The girl laughed heartily: “Alright, alright! That’s typical of you!”

Xia Meng: “Heh heh.”

She introduced herself: “I’m Gong Jiahui, Class 2, and I’m a sports student.”

Xia Meng was about to politely introduce herself, but Gong Jiahui interrupted: “I know you, you’re quite famous now. I wonder if Tao Yun accepted your confession? If not, how about considering me?”

Xia Meng froze on the spot.

She suspected she had misheard and even covered her ears, confirming that she truly couldn’t hear.

Then she must have heard wrong. It had to be. Otherwise, how could Gong Jiahui say such a thing so smoothly to someone she had only met once… a virtual stranger?

Even if someone were going to confess, they should be aiming for someone of Tao Yun’s caliber.

She, Xia Meng! Was not worthy!

Gong Jiahui saw the stunned Xia Meng and chuckled, a mischievous smile plastered on her face. She was about to bring up the lunchboxes behind Xia Meng.

Six of them! They were too eye-catching. Even Gong Jiahui couldn’t eat that much. Although Gong Jiahui knew they were likely for Tao Yun and her to share, Xia Meng’s reaction was simply too amusing.

She was about to speak.

A voice rang out from the other side: “Xia Meng, do you know her?”

Xia Meng broke out in a cold sweat. She stiffly turned her head to look at Tao Yun. Her expression was neutral, showing no obvious joy or anger, making it uncertain if she had heard Gong Jiahui’s words.

However, as Tao Yun walked over, she glanced at Gong Jiahui several times.

How should one describe that gaze? It was unfriendly… even carrying a faint hint of hostility. Xia Meng wasn’t sure if this hostility was due to a past grievance or if it was sparked by her presence now.

But a child accustomed to crying subconsciously craved sweetness, so she wore an expression that was on the verge of tears and said pitifully: “We just introduced ourselves.”

Who knew she would blurt out something like that?

Even if it was a joke, it was inappropriate! Xia Meng ran over to Tao Yun’s side, her invisible tail wagging to show her loyalty.

Tao Yun only spared her a glance before continuing to stare at Gong Jiahui.

Xia Meng hid behind Tao Yun, her eyes slightly squinted in a satisfied smile as she gazed up at Tao Yun.

The child with backup has stood up! Xia Meng peeked her head out from behind Tao Yun, ready to smugly retort a few words, only to see Gong Jiahui’s eyes shining brighter than hers and her voice more excited: “Are you two really dating!”

Xia Meng: …

She recalled the school forum, where countless I ship it so much were used to describe Gong Jiahui’s current expression, which was perfectly apt.

Xia Meng had good reason to suspect that Gong Jiahui knew Tao Yun was nearby and deliberately created this drama to get some “sweetness” and see Tao Yun being protective.

System: You have been influenced by Su Hui.

The system was speechless at Xia Meng’s overthinking. Just because she wanted to see Tao Yun being protective didn’t mean everyone else did. Only Su Hui, for some unknown reason, was determined to see two girls date. Everyone else wasn’t that invested!

The system wasn’t entirely sure. No, right?

It thought about the recently appearing mission log and decided to keep quiet after that statement to avoid being proven wrong.

So, did Gong Jiahui truly want to see two girls date? Yes, absolutely! She wanted to see it! Gong Jiahui immediately apologized: “I’m so sorry! I was just kidding, please forgive me!”

Her apology was too quick.

It was so fast that Xia Meng hadn’t even reacted.

Girlfriend, you created the drama! Can’t you hold out a little longer, let Tao Yun play her part, and make Xia Meng happy for a bit longer?

Gong Jiahui: My life is more important.

She scratched her head: “I do like cute kids, but I wasn’t thinking of getting to the dating stage.”

Was Xia Meng cute? Yes, she was. Of course, she liked such a cute girl. Compared to smelly boys, Gong Jiahui also hoped that Xia Meng’s partner would be a girl. Xia Meng had already confessed to Tao Yun, wouldn’t it be great if they got together?

If Tao Yun didn’t accept, Gong Jiahui still wanted to be friends with Xia Meng.

Seeing the obvious possessiveness from Tao Yun, Gong Jiahui decided she had no beef with Tao Yun, so… Tao Yun must also have feelings in that direction, right? She scrutinized the two of them, revealing her big, white teeth, and smiled exceptionally happily: “My joke went a bit too far. My bad.”

Tao Yun coldly said: “Don’t casually say ‘dating.'”

Gong Jiahui quickly apologized: “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!”

Her apology was so sincere that Xia Meng couldn’t say anything, but seeing Tao Yun clearly unhappy, Xia Meng felt Gong Jiahui could endure a bit more suffering.

The feeling of being so cherished by Tao Yun was wonderful.

Xia Meng grinned foolishly.

So Gong Jiahui asked the most crucial question: “Are you two dating now?”

It was like a fan who had been waiting for ages, a reporter who had been hounding for a long time, the moment countless people were eagerly waiting for the main parties to confirm. This included… Xia Meng herself.

She was the one who confessed, so the answer had to come from Tao Yun.

A few days ago, Xia Meng could have spoken for Tao Yun, saying they were friends, and that knowing Tao Yun and being her friend was the luck of her life.

However, as the days went by, Xia Meng couldn’t clearly define what answer she wanted.

She was also waiting for Tao Yun to give an answer, any answer would do. In any case, she would always be able to spend time with Tao Yun. Regardless of what Tao Yun thought, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her.

Right at that moment.

As Xia Meng lowered her gaze, Tao Yun said, “I said, don’t casually say ‘dating.'”

Gong Jiahui was taken aback.

She didn’t quite understand the implication. Either they were together, or they weren’t. Was this question that hard to answer?

She felt that asking any further would lead to trouble…

Gong Jiahui hesitantly spoke: “I see… Oh, right. Xia Meng is going to be a flag bearer, correct? I’m the flag bearer for Class 2. The training was supposed to be this week but was postponed because of the re-examination.”

Tao Yun did not speak.

Xia Meng stiffly said: “It will definitely be next week.”

Gong Jiahui laughed heartily again. She waved her hand: “I’m going to grab lunch now.”
