Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 4

Host, do you know the three major misconceptions in life?

So, Tao Yun wasn’t moved at all, she just politely showed concern, and after realizing Xia Meng wasn’t replying, she immediately went through the delete and block process, is that right?

Xia Meng looked at her brother blankly.

How… how awkward.

She seemed to have been overly sentimental.

“Teacher.” Tao Yun knocked on the office door politely.

Teacher Ji, who was in charge of Class 1, pushed up his glasses. Hearing Tao Yun’s voice, he immediately looked up from a pile of test papers, his face beaming with smiles.

He smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Student Tao?”

Tao Yun said, “About the Physics Competition we discussed last time, I plan to participate.”

Teacher Ji was overjoyed: “Really?”

He asked Tao Yun to sit down, grinning from ear to ear, and didn’t forget to ask, “You said it would take up too much time last time? Why the sudden decision to participate?”

Teacher Ji personally poured Tao Yun a cup of water. He genuinely valued this outstanding student.

“Look at you, the list has already been handed to the principal, and now I have to go find the principal to add your name.”

Troublesome as it was, Teacher Ji was definitely willing to do it.

He placed the water in front of Tao Yun.

Tao Yun was a student he personally recruited. She had previously not intended to attend No. 1 High School because it was expensive.

It was a regrettable situation. No. 1 High School’s teaching staff was among the best in the city, but the tuition fees were also considerable. Tao Yun’s family situation did not allow her to study at No. 1 High School.

It was Teacher Ji who personally promised to waive the tuition fees, which is why they didn’t miss out on this excellent student.

Teacher Ji also poured himself a cup of water.

Since enrollment, Tao Yun had lived up to expectations. Learning was as easy as drinking water for her, and her scores far exceeded the second-place student. This Physics Competition was related to selection and evaluation, and Teacher Ji particularly hoped Tao Yun would participate.

Tao Yun had previously refused, using the excuse of it taking up time, and Teacher Ji couldn’t do anything about it.

Teacher Ji took a sip of water and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely fight for the prize money for the Physics Competition from the administration; it won’t be a waste of your time.”

Tao Yun looked at the cup of water in front of her: “Mhm.”

Teacher Ji was still concerned: “Your sudden decision to participate, is it because of Student Xia?”

He heard that a girl from Class 8 confessed to Tao Yun on the field, in front of everyone.

Teacher Ji was displeased: “Well, yes, participating in the Physics Competition is a good way to refuse. You should focus on your studies now and not be distracted.”

Tao Yun looked up: “I am participating in the competition for her.”

Teacher Ji choked.

He widened his eyes: “Tao Yun!”

Tao Yun didn’t back down: “She was the one who convinced me to participate in the competition.”

So that’s how it was.

Teacher Ji’s mood was complicated. He had thought Tao Yun might also like the student named Xia Meng. Right, Tao Yun was proud and aloof; even if she liked someone, she wouldn’t like someone from Class 8.

The fact that she could convince Tao Yun to participate in the competition suggested she was a decent girl, too.

In any case, things were moving in a positive direction.

Teacher Ji nodded, indicating he understood.

Tao Yun then asked, “How will the school handle this matter?”

Teacher Ji pondered for a moment: “A cold treatment.”

This matter could only be handled with cold treatment.

Why did No. 1 High School keep Class 8? Because Class 8 students were all second-generation wealthy kids whose families had money and were willing to send their children to good schools.

The teaching building, equipment, and many things the school needed money for were donated by their parents. If they expelled a child just for this, the parents would likely cause a commotion.

So, this matter could only be cold-treated.

Teacher Ji: “She will probably be back at school tomorrow as normal.”

Tao Yun nodded: “Then I’ll go back to class now.”

Teacher Ji: “Okay, I will talk to the principal about the Physics Competition before the afternoon.”

Emerging from the office, Tao Yun’s face was calm.

She looked toward the direction of Class 8, thinking the distance was a bit far.

Back in the classroom, Chu Yun, who was sitting in front of Tao Yun, returned the phone to her: “Thank you for lending me your phone. Can you come help out in the Publicity Department after school?”

Tao Yun took the phone, frowned at the suggestion, and wasn’t very keen on helping.

Chu Yun stuck out her tongue: “Alright, alright, I know you have something to do after school. Seriously, what is it?”

Tao Yun tapped open WeChat: “Nothing much.”

Chu Yun casually looked out the window and smiled: “If you keep this up, you won’t keep your position in the Student Union. But don’t worry, I’ll talk to the President for you.”

Tao Yun put down her phone and asked.

“Have you received any messages?”

Chu Yun’s body stiffened, then she pretended to be relaxed: “No? Are you waiting for a message from your mom?”

Tao Yun sighed: “No.”

“Brother!” Xia Meng, tearfully, buried her head in Xia Ning’s arms.

“She deleted me!”

Xia Ning placed his hand on his sister’s shoulder: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Isn’t this perfect? You didn’t want to be responsible anyway.”

Passersby looked at the siblings with strange expressions upon hearing this.

Xia Meng was speechless.

That was true, indeed.

It wasn’t a genuine confession, but a task-based action. Tao Yun’s approach was the best for her.

Yet, she felt a surge of indignation in her heart. She was sullen: “No one has ever deleted me from WeChat before.”

Xia Ning: “That’s because no one adds you on WeChat.”

Xia Meng: “…”

Saying that is an easy way to lose your sister.

Fortunately, her temper came and went quickly, and she soon convinced herself.

This way, seeing Tao Yun tomorrow won’t be awkward! Even if someone asks about the confession, she can righteously reply with: “Tao Yun deleted me!”

It was like a light page turning, revealing the next page.

Nothing happened.

Xia Meng held her new phone. No matter what, getting a new phone this easily was thanks to Tao Yun.

The System took the opportunity to shamelessly claim credit.

Isn’t it because of the task I issued to you?

Xia Meng.

No, get lost, stop trying to take credit.

System.

Xia Ning saw his sister’s mood improve: “Alright, you’ve bought your phone, let’s just go home.”

He still had to sneak back to school to continue class.

“Mhm!”

There was nothing that going home and playing a few rounds of games couldn’t solve!

Xia Meng happily returned home, holding her new phone and starting to play games. As she played, she felt restless.

She clicked open the school forum.

The first post was:

Who was the legendary figure who confessed to Tao Yun at noon?

Scrolling down, there was a string of eager comments from Class 8 students.

“Xia Meng! My good buddy!” Based on the profile picture, this was a real-name report from Su Hui.

Xia Meng threw her phone into the pillow.

Now, everyone knew it was her, Xia Meng!

Then she picked up her phone and continued reading.

“Shocked, it’s a person from Class 8?”

“Even the underachievers are bowing to Tao Yun’s charm?”

“Instead of studying properly, what are they thinking about all day?”

“The person above? Is Class 8’s academic performance not bad?”

“Yes, it’s very bad. P.S. Also Class 8, Class Monitor, can you touch your conscience when you say that?”

“What will the Dean of Students say when they call Xia Meng over?”

“I don’t know, but Xia Meng wasn’t in class this afternoon.”

“Tao Yun also went to the office, will it have an impact?”

Xia Meng completely gave up resisting. Why did she even want to look at the school forum? Pages and pages were filled with her name; an uninformed person would think they were holding an awards ceremony.

Utterly shameful.

Seeing her name so often made Xia Meng feel a sense of: Is this person really me? Why is she so embarrassing? It wasn’t a misconception; she really was embarrassing.

And her name was placed right alongside Tao Yun’s.

For Xia Meng, this was an honor of the highest degree.

It was just unfortunate for the unlucky Tao Yun.

Xia Meng hugged her pillow.

System, do you think I can just ‘whale’ (pay-to-win)?

The System replied again.

The System does not accept any monetary transactions. Please, Host, work hard to earn survival time.

After a pause, the System added a sentence.

Don’t waste time on such boring things.

Xia Meng.

Otherwise, what am I supposed to do? Issue me another task?

Xia Meng lazily got up from the bed. Anyway, the tasks at home were usually small things, easy to do casually.

Then she heard the System issue a new task.

You have two choices.

Option 1: Send a carefully selected gift. Target: Tao Yun. You have 24 hours for the task. Reward for completion: 48 hours of survival time.

Option 2: Accept the gift Tao Yun sends you. You have 24 hours for the task. Reward for completion: 48 hours of survival time.

She didn’t want either of them.

However, the System had never given her the right to refuse, and it was quite enthusiastic.

It’s great that there’s no penalty option for this task!

Indeed, the only difference between the two options was ‘giving’ and ‘receiving,’ and the survival time reward was exactly the same and quite substantial.

Especially Option 2: receiving a gift would grant her 48 hours of survival time.

She could survive for two more days! Xia Meng was tempted for a moment.

But she quickly sobered up.

Why is it still Tao Yun?! What is your relationship with Tao Yun, System?! Moreover! Tao Yun has already deleted her!

Xia Meng took a deep breath.

No, I need to keep my dignity.
