Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 41

She actually kept this photo!

And even set it as her desktop wallpaper!

Xia Meng immediately took her phone away; she was appalled by how ugly she looked.

A wave of shame washed over her. If she had known Tao Yun would keep it, she would have taken a better picture. Xia Meng buried her head in her arms, letting out a muffled groan.

Her hair was a mess, she hadn’t groomed herself, her posture in the photo was awkward, and her expression was a half-hearted smile—in short, she didn’t look good at all!

She had sent the photo in a moment of impulse.

For some reason, Tao Yun set the photo as her desktop, and now Xia Meng had seen it.

Xia Meng felt utterly despairing. She had been secretly looking for photos of Tao Yun in forums, hiding her actions, but the other person was openly displaying hers.

Well, it was her own fault for sending the photo in the first place.

Her mistake.

Xia Meng’s hand trembled as she prepared to unilaterally delete the photo and change the wallpaper back to a default phone background.

She wouldn’t even bring up the topic of using a couple’s photo as a desktop anymore; she needed time to heal her frail heart…

Tao Yun was also a little flustered. She regretted not thinking of it and, upon seeing Xia Meng’s reaction, her first thought was whether Xia Meng would mind.

It seemed like Xia Meng did mind, which made Tao Yun even more anxious.

She watched as Xia Meng held the phone far away with a pained expression, then brought her hand back with a contorted face, seemingly trying to change the wallpaper.

Tao Yun paused for a moment, then decisively said, “I’m sorry!”

For unilaterally setting your photo as my desktop without asking for your opinion.

Tao Yun was worried Xia Meng was angry.

Although it was hard to imagine Xia Meng being angry, Tao Yun allowed Xia Meng to change the desktop wallpaper, but then held her own phone without any intention of changing it back, lost in thought.

The phone was still in Xia Meng’s hands, and Tao Yun felt conflicted inside.

Changing the wallpaper is fine, but the photo—please don’t delete it.

Tao Yun wasn’t sure if Xia Meng had deleted it. While apologizing, she was simultaneously thinking, Not synchronizing with the cloud was a huge oversight! Must not happen again next time!

She showed absolutely no sign of remorse.

Xia Meng’s lips trembled as she said painfully, “It’s fine, I was just shocked by how ugly I was.”

Suddenly seeing a high-definition, unfiltered photo of oneself would be unacceptable for anyone; she wasn’t some self-assured woman.

But Tao Yun shouldn’t be appalled by her own appearance, she was so beautiful, the kind who looks great even in raw photos!

Filters make no difference to her! A strange sense of pride swelled up in Xia Meng’s heart, and her expression slowly turned into a smug one. Hehe, isn’t she beautiful? She’s hers!

Tao Yun is hers!

“You are very cute.”

Tao Yun couldn’t understand. She tilted her head and gave a smile: “You’re very cute, very suitable for a desktop. Seeing it makes my mood better. I really like it.”

She spoke her true feelings, wondering why Xia Meng would be appalled by her own looks.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so moved the moment she saw the photo.

She just liked Xia Meng; she just liked those eyes that seemed to look right through the lens at her.

It felt like she was being accompanied.

Therefore, she hoped Xia Meng hadn’t deleted it.

Tao Yun spoke while thinking, watching Xia Meng freeze on the spot, then discreetly take her phone back and secretly check the photo gallery. Excellent, Xia Meng hadn’t had time to delete it.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Meng’s gaze was fixed and astonished as she looked at Tao Yun.

She’s so good at this.

Is she still Tao Yun?

Her sweet talk is so nice, I love it.

I love her.

System.

Stop spamming, show some restraint.

Xia Meng found it hard to restrain herself. This was the first time she had heard Tao Yun say such things; this wasn’t like Tao Yun.

Tao Yun would actually say these things because of her. She felt like she was completely and utterly doted upon, that she would never be able to break free in this lifetime. She had been drawn into Tao Yun’s circle.

Inside the circle was Tao Yun, and looking out, it was also Tao Yun.

It was overwhelming, filled entirely with the name Tao Yun.

Xia Meng was used to being straightforward; when she liked Tao Yun, she praised her. When Tao Yun’s beauty struck her, she also praised her. When she wanted to kiss her, she mustered her courage. She was so proactive that even her mother, Madam Xia, would feel proud to have given birth to this daughter.

But now she had been hit with a straightforward confession, and she was having trouble handling it.

Tsk, Xia Meng straightened her chest and criticized herself, Is this acceptable?

It’s not acceptable, she braced herself: “Please say a few more things, I love hearing it, thank you!”

Tao Yun chuckled. She changed the desktop wallpaper back to the original photo right in front of Xia Meng, then promised: “I won’t change this desktop wallpaper, because you are there.”

Xia Meng giggled stupidly: “A little more, mó duō mó duō! (more more!)”

Tao Yun: “I like you!”

Xia Meng bloomed into a small flower again: “I like you too, I super like you, I like you the most!”

She left the training hall happily with Tao Yun.

When she got home, the smile hadn’t left her face. Aunt Zhang suspected Xia Meng might have lost some intelligence and decided to stew some soup later to nourish Xia Meng’s brain.

Xia Meng first rolled around in her room, then ran to Xia Ning’s room.

Xia Ning was playing a game. Seeing his silly sister sitting across from him, not saying anything, just giggling, he finally couldn’t stand it: “If you have something to say, just say it. Stop smiling, it’s creepy!”

He put down his phone, curious about what made his silly sister so happy.

“Tell me, let me be happy too.”

“Aiya~” Xia Meng twisted coyly, refusing to say.

Xia Ning: Is this still my sister?

Hearing the persistent laughter, Xia Ning was shocked. His sister must have been switched out! Who is this monster in front of me?

He picked up his phone, ready to call Madam Xia.

Xia Meng quickly stopped him.

This matter… can’t let Madam Xia know yet.

Only then did Xia Meng speak: “I’m not single anymore, I’m no longer a lifetime solo.”

Plop went the sound of the phone dropping onto the bed.

Xia Ning remained in a daze in his original posture. It took him a long time to process the news, and then he asked: “Which girl is it?”

Xia Meng: “?”

Did she ever like other girls?

Oh, she hadn’t explained it to her brother yet. Xia Meng replied: “It’s the girl you’ve seen before.”

Xia Ning recalled the girl he met at their grandfather’s house. She looked quite gentle, and her personality seemed complementary to his sister’s.

He frowned: “Then what about the girl you confessed to?”

Being so fickle won’t do! Xia Ning was serious.

Xia Meng: “It’s her too.”

Plop went another sound. This time, it was the frantic bouncing of the doubt in Xia Ning’s heart: “The same person?”

Xia Meng: “The same person.”

Xia Ning: “Such a coincidence?”

Xia Meng: “It means we are naturally suited to be together.”

Xia Ning: “…”

He picked up his phone and opened his game: “Fine, I get it. Go back.”

He needed time to digest this news.

Xia Meng stopped smiling and tugged at her brother: “Give me some advice. Mom doesn’t know yet. How should I tell her?”

Madam Xia still wanted to adopt Tao Yun as a goddaughter. If she told Madam Xia, would Madam Xia think Xia Meng had poached the “cabbage” she planned to raise and kick Xia Meng out?

She was quite worried.

Xia Ning was so bothered that he couldn’t stand it.

He was still struggling to accept his sister dating, especially since the serendipity was like a match made in heaven. Hearing Xia Meng’s endless questions, he simply called Madam Xia.

Xia Ning: “I’ll ask her for you!”

Xia Meng: “…”

The call rang for a long time without being picked up, which was a bit surprising.

Xia Ning suspected he had dialed incorrectly. As a workaholic, Madam Xia always kept her phone close and never missed a call. He then called Madam Xia’s assistant, and this time, the call was quickly answered.

Xia Ning asked: “Excuse me, is my mother in a meeting right now?”

The assistant hesitated for a while before finally speaking: “No, it’s just… President Xie said she wants a divorce.”
