Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 8

Xia Meng suddenly felt it was incredible.

Such a beautiful girl, quiet and utterly gorgeous, prettier than any female celebrity on TV. All those “pure starlets”—when Tao Yun walks toward you, you’d think they were nothing special.

For a person like this, it wasn’t strange that she made a confession to her, right?

Unconsciously, Xia Meng’s thoughts began to change.

She awkwardly waved her paw.

What was Tao Yun doing at the administrative building?

She couldn’t have been called into the office by the teacher, too, could she?!

System, this is all your fault!

How is it my fault again

The System sounded a little wronged. It hadn’t said a word today, nor had it even issued a task to Xia Meng! To be blamed for this was simply an undeserved disaster!

It is your fault! If you hadn’t issued that task, would Tao Yun have been called into the office?!

Host, calm down. The reason a straight-A student is called to the office is probably not the same as for a poor student, is it?

Xia Meng couldn’t listen; she didn’t care.

She just thought that Tao Yun couldn’t suffer the same treatment as her—being called to the office to have parents informed. She was enough for that! Xia Meng stood up with a sense of responsibility.

Then: “You… you’ve come too.”

Tao Yun watched her, amused. Seeing her overthinking, blaming herself, and looking guilty made Tao Yun want to tease her a little more.

This time, there was no one else.

Only the two of them stood in the corridor. Xia Meng felt uneasy and powerless, creating an atmosphere that felt like a confession.

Unlike being out on the sports field, so open and careless… Tao Yun hid the upward curve of her lips. “Yes, I’m here.”

She sounded like they were meeting underground for a secret exchange.

Xia Meng was oblivious and lowered her voice. “Did your homeroom teacher call you?”

Tao Yun thought about it. It was indeed Teacher Ji who had called her to discuss the Physics Olympiad.

So Tao Yun nodded. Worried that her voice was too soft for Xia Meng to hear, she closed the distance between them.

“That’s right~”

Xia Meng was a little shorter than Tao Yun. Tao Yun bent her head and whispered to Xia Meng.

It was exactly as she thought!

Xia Meng gripped the corner of her clothes, her thoughts racing. What if… what if Tao Yun was also called to bring her parents? Not everyone was like Xia Meng’s mom.

What if Tao Yun’s mother was especially strict and gave Tao Yun a hard time?

Xia Meng’s voice was tense: “Did the teacher call your parents?”

“Pfft—”

A burst of laughter sounded unexpectedly close to Xia Meng’s ear.

Tao Yun gently touched Xia Meng’s soft hair. Seeing the girl’s confused look, she laughed wholeheartedly. In the end, her conscience won out over her mischievous urge to tease.

Because Xia Meng’s nervous, worried look was simply too pitiful.

Tao Yun’s eyes were full of smiles, her alluring ‘peach blossom eyes’ utterly captivating. “No, I wasn’t.”

Xia Meng hadn’t fully processed it yet. “That’s good.”

Being a good student had its perks. Perhaps the Class 1 homeroom teacher was also afraid of affecting Tao Yun’s studies.

Xia Meng was silly, rejoicing for Tao Yun.

Tao Yun sighed. “Did your homeroom teacher talk to you? What did he say?”

Xia Meng recalled. “He said I did a brilliant job.”

Tao Yun: “…”

She had been worried that the teacher was strict and had scolded Xia Meng severely, which would make Xia Meng feel down.

But then again, this silly child seemed perfectly fine and was only worried about her.

Tao Yun’s heart softened again.

If only Xia Meng’s affection for her were of a different kind.

Tao Yun didn’t say anything.

Xia Meng could sense Tao Yun’s speechlessness.

Because she felt the same way.

The entire faculty and student body of Class 8 actually thought Xia Meng handled the whole thing brilliantly. If it weren’t for the Dean of Students, she would suspect that there was something wrong with the world.

Thinking of this, Xia Meng took another sharp breath. “Did your classmates say anything about you?”

Tao Yun pondered for a moment. “They complimented my great charm.”

Truly worthy of being students from No. 1 High School, good young talents for the new era.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xia Meng was the first to speak. “I heard Old Yang say just now that you originally didn’t plan to participate in the Physics Olympiad. So, why did you decide to join again?”

Xia Meng asked cautiously.

She was a little worried. What if, as Old Yang said, Tao Yun was joining the Physics Olympiad just to avoid her?

Wouldn’t she have to be smarter, to walk around Tao Yun whenever she saw her, to avoid causing her trouble?

But their relationship had only just improved last night.

Even without that stupid confession incident, the current Xia Meng really wanted to be friends with Tao Yun.

She had a good personality and was easy to get along with.

A beauty, after all, was pleasing to the eye. Being with her could make one eat two extra bowls of rice, making one feel happy.

She also hadn’t looked down on Xia Meng.

Xia Meng looked at Tao Yun with anticipation.

She so hoped Tao Yun’s answer would be: it’s not about you.

Not that kind of ‘not about you,’ but the kind that meant joining the Physics Olympiad was not influenced by her.

Only then could Xia Meng hope to continue spending time with Tao Yun.

Tao Yun felt that ‘Old Yang’ was a bit of a gossip.

But Old Yang wasn’t Lin Ruoruo, so she couldn’t stop her.

Tao Yun didn’t have a habit of lying, yet she vaguely understood Xia Meng’s meaning. Combined with her own reluctance to speak the truth, she was obstinate: “I don’t like being a runner-up.”

Under Xia Meng’s gaze, she slowly said, “This time, I will definitely take first place.”

Tao Yun chuckled softly. It wasn’t hard to meet the little girl’s expectations.

Xia Meng suddenly understood. “Oh, I see.”

Truly worthy of being Tao Yun!

Her admiration grew even stronger.

“By the way, why haven’t you accepted the red envelope yet!”

With the crisis averted, Xia Meng automatically switched into friend mode.

She remembered the issue.

Because Tao Yun hadn’t accepted the red envelope, the System judged the task incomplete, and the forty-eight hours of survival time hadn’t been credited. Xia Meng had originally planned to ask on WeChat.

Since they bumped into each other, she’d force the issue right here!

“You absolutely must accept this red envelope!”

Xia Meng opened her little paws, threatening her to comply obediently!

Tao Yun: “…”

Are you talking about that red envelope that looks like an allowance for a kept person?

Not giving Tao Yun a chance to speak, Xia Meng added pitifully, “It’s not a lot of money; I just wanted to give you a gift but was afraid you wouldn’t like it.”

This is just gift money, really~

Tao Yun was silent.

Gift money, which roughly equated to an allowance for a kept person.

It was exactly like a big-spending fan sending crazy gifts to a female streamer and then trying to arrange a private meeting.

Ugh, how sordid.

Tao Yun changed the subject. “Since it’s a gift, let’s exchange gifts. What do you like? I’ll prepare one for you too.”

No way!

Xia Meng recalled the task issued by the System.

Option one was to give Tao Yun a gift; option two was to accept Tao Yun’s gift.

Why did she choose option one? Wasn’t it because she was worried about Tao Yun giving her a gift! How could she give a gift and then have to receive one in return! No, absolutely not.

Xia Meng took a deep breath.

She couldn’t think of any words to convince Tao Yun.

So, subconsciously, she pulled out a move that worked one hundred times out of one hundred on her mother: “Please, I beg you!”

Facing Xia Meng’s spoiled pleading and attempts to curry favor, Tao Yun was utterly bewildered.

A trick. There was definitely a trick!

But even if there was a trick, Tao Yun couldn’t control her hand, and she complied with Xia Meng’s wish, clicking on the red envelope.

A spoiled woman has the best life. Tao Yun deeply understood this truth at that moment.

She watched helplessly as the red envelope was opened and a sum popped out.

888

Well, it wasn’t too exaggerated, but the meaning of the amount was a bit… unpretentious.

Xia Meng must have put some thought into it.

Tao Yun covered her face, feeling embarrassed. She wasn’t sure whose reputation was on the line, but she certainly felt a taste of her own medicine now.

The little angel on her head seemed to be saying: That’s what you get for teasing the little kid! That’s what you get for teasing the little kid!

Xia Meng received the notification that the survival time had been credited and was completely satisfied.

She broke into a huge smile. “Thank you!”

“Senior Sister.” Chu Yun greeted Lin Ruoruo with a smile.

Lin Ruoruo was in Year 2, while Chu Yun and Tao Yun were both in Class 1 of Year 1. Logically, Tao Yun should also call her Senior Sister, but Tao Yun never did.

She felt Lin Ruoruo didn’t deserve it.

She even said it right to Lin Ruoruo’s face.

This caused Lin Ruoruo to like Chu Yun very much, because she would politely call her Senior Sister. Oh, and now there was a new Junior Sister.

Chu Yun was a bit different from Xia Meng.

They both came from good families, but the difference was that Chu Yun was strictly brought up, unlike Xia Meng, who clearly grew up in a honey pot. But for some reason, Xia Meng was less confident, while Chu Yun…

Was confidently radiant, her eyes shining as if nothing could ever defeat her.

Smart and capable, many seniors in the student council liked Chu Yun.

But Lin Ruoruo knew in her heart that if it weren’t for Tao Yun, Chu Yun would never have joined the student council, much less greeted her.

They exchanged a few pleasantries, discussing student council work experiences, the main goal being preparations for upcoming campus events. Then, just as Lin Ruoruo expected, the topic turned to Tao Yun.

Chu Yun looked worried. “Tao Yun has been called to the administrative building several times already.”

She almost explicitly said that it was all because of the girl who confessed.

Lin Ruoruo’s brows subtly furrowed. She wanted to defend Xia Meng a little, but then she remembered what Tao Yun had said last night.

She could only guarantee: “Don’t worry, it won’t affect Tao Yun.”

Chu Yun smiled. “Of course, I believe Tao Yun won’t be affected. It’s just that she rarely comes to report to the student council anymore. If this continues, no matter how much good word I put in to the President, it won’t help. Senior Sister, what exactly is Tao Yun doing? She’s always so busy.”

Everyone knew that Lin Ruoruo and Tao Yun had known each other for a long time.

They went to the same junior high. As soon as Tao Yun entered school, Lin Ruoruo took great care of her, even introducing her to the student council.

It was clear that they had a very good relationship.

Initially, whenever people needed to find Tao Yun, they would go through Lin Ruoruo. Later, it became Chu Yun.

Because Chu Yun always said, “Tao Yun and I are in the same class, which makes it more convenient. It must be tiring for Senior Sister Lin to run back and forth.”

Lin Ruoruo felt it was okay, but she really didn’t want to run back and forth.

Right now, she had a bit of a headache.

She couldn’t say anything; if she did, Tao Yun would be angry. Unsure of what had transpired between the two, Lin Ruoruo could only be vague: “Tao Yun knows what she’s doing. She can handle it.”

Seeing that Chu Yun intended to continue asking, Lin Ruoruo added,

“Why don’t you ask her directly? You’re in the same class, after all. I’m just a Senior Sister.”

Chu Yun’s expression changed. Of course, she had asked, many times, but Tao Yun hadn’t replied to her.

That’s why she came to find Lin Ruoruo.

Most importantly, for some unknown reason, Tao Yun was very distant with her today, which made Chu Yun a little flustered. She was wondering what she had done wrong.

She had clearly tried her best to do everything perfectly.

What student council? If it weren’t for Tao Yun, she wouldn’t have joined.

And that girl who confessed to Tao Yun—Chu Yun felt uneasy.

She had never been able to muster the courage to confess to Tao Yun.

She wasn’t like that other girl… confident.

Chu Yun’s nose twitched, and she offered a sweet smile. “I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister.”
