The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 10
Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu exchanged glances, both detecting a shared look of worry in the other’s eyes.
This classmate, they feared, had something on her mind, and the problem was not small; she needed help.
Xu Qingfeng thought she should suggest to Teacher Du that once the club was established, people should be assigned to be on duty regularly to avoid classmates coming and not finding anyone, thus losing the courage they finally mustered to seek help for their worries.
“Yiqiu, that classmate is worrying,” Xu Qingfeng sighed and shared her thoughts with Xia Yiqiu.
“Indeed, I wish we could find her,” Xia Yiqiu lamented.
“But that’s a great idea you have,” Xia Yiqiu praised.
Xu Qingfeng felt a little happy after hearing the compliment.
“I got it!” When she was happy, her mind worked fast.
“This is where our Publicity and Internet Department classmates come in,” Xu Qingfeng curved her lips into a smile.
Xia Yiqiu immediately understood what she meant and gave a look of approval.
“That’s right, it’s time for them to get to work.”
She opened her phone, found the large club group chat, and used the @all members function.
All club members, please carefully observe your classmates around you. If you find them having various psychological issues that they cannot resolve independently, please promptly notify the psychology teacher and the club. Let’s create a beautiful campus together. The Psychology Club is duty-bound. Go, comrades!
Xu Qingfeng looked at the person beside her after seeing the message.
Yiqiu, she’s quite humorous.
Afterward, Xia Yiqiu described the appearance and behavior of the girl to the heads of the Publicity and Internet Departments to see if they could find her. Finally, she told Teacher Du about Xu Qingfeng’s idea, and Teacher Du readily agreed.
Life repeated day after day, and Xu Qingfeng had become accustomed to reading with Xia Yiqiu during lunch. They now chose to sit together, sometimes going to the self-study room to study, where Xu Qingfeng would also tutor Xia Yiqiu in Chinese. The previous plan to tutor at Xia Yiqiu’s home on Saturday was regretfully canceled.
There are gains and losses, Xu Qingfeng thought.
The only one doubly happy was Liang Hao, who got to eat candy while being tutored by two top students.
Time passed like this until Friday evening, the inauguration ceremony of the Psychology Club.
At the assembly, the school leaders spoke profusely, expressing the school’s concern for students’ mental health and its determination to cultivate students’ all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.
Gao Zhi listened below, her eyelids half-closed. This was more sleep-inducing than writing an English test paper.
After her head drooped down for the umpteenth time and instantly snapped back up, she finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Qingfeng, how long are these old men going to talk? This is when I really wish I were reading your joining declaration.”
Gao Zhi poked Xu Qingfeng’s back with her hand. She just wanted to finish the ceremony and go home to sleep.
Xu Qingfeng was a little helpless.
“Shut up,” she whispered, leaning her body back slightly.
Gao Zhi obediently shut her mouth and closed her eyes, telling Liang Hao and Han Feng next to her not to let her fall asleep completely.
This Gao Zhi, it’s a good thing she’s standing in the third row. The first two rows can shield her a bit, or she’d definitely be pulled out and criticized.
The first row is, of course, for the teachers.
Besides, is the declaration I wrote really that bad?
In reality, it couldn’t be called bad; it was just overly emotional. Xu Qingfeng wrote it with a grateful heart.
She was genuinely thankful for the club’s establishment, just as she was thankful that Xia Yiqiu was standing beside her at this moment, which made the tedious ceremony less difficult to endure.
However, Xu Qingfeng did revise the original club joining declaration. She had only shown the first version to Gao Zhi, and hadn’t taken Gao Zhi’s complaints to heart until the other day during lunch when she showed it to Xia Yiqiu.
“Yiqiu, look, this is the club joining declaration I wrote. What do you think?” Xu Qingfeng looked at Xia Yiqiu with anticipation.
“You finished it so quickly,” Xia Yiqiu took Xu Qingfeng’s draft book with interest.
As she read, Xia Yiqiu fell silent, pursing her lips slightly.
Hmm, so my previous guess was not wrong.
She was sure that the love poem was also written by Xu Qingfeng.
The little bookworm’s inner world is quite rich, you really can’t tell.
It’s just, wouldn’t it be a bit too embarrassing to read out loud?
Xu Qingfeng watched Xia Yiqiu nod and then shake her head, her heart in turmoil.
Finally, she heard Xia Yiqiu say, “Qingfeng, how about we make it a bit more mundane?”
“Is it really that bad? No wonder Gao Zhi didn’t like it either.” Xu Qingfeng was discouraged, her voice sounding wronged and pitiful.
Looking at the “puppy” across from her with droopy eyebrows, Xia Yiqiu couldn’t bear it. She spoke with a very firm tone:
“No, you wrote it very well. It’s just too transcendent. Ordinary people can’t appreciate it.”
“We can just write one similar to those from other schools.”
Xia Yiqiu thought that sometimes a kind lie was beneficial.
So that’s how it is. What I wrote is too profound.
Xu Qingfeng believed her. Since ancient times, scholars have been arrogant. She never doubted herself. What Yiqiu says is right.
“Okay, Yiqiu, I’ll revise it when I go back.”
Xia Yiqiu’s heart settled. She really couldn’t bring herself to read that declaration.
It’s not Gao Zhi’s fault, and it’s not mine.
Xia Yiqiu looked at the draft book one more time and quickly closed it.
It read:
“Club Joining Declaration”
I dedicate to my stirring years, Not forgetting the reason for my original intention. Step by step, trampling the muddy path, Little by little, voicing the isolated soul. Smoke and mist, casting aside my lost inner self, voicing my true heart. I will engrave the words of great men, let the wind and rain no longer erode, let the light illuminate the earth. —Xu Qingfeng
In the assembly hall, Xia Yiqiu heard the mention of the club declaration, recalled the scene from that day, and couldn’t help but chuckle. She softly said to Xu Qingfeng,
“Can you still hold up, Vice President Xu?”
Why is she calling me Vice President Xu again? I’m not like Gao Zhi, like a child. How could I not endure it?
If Xia Yiqiu knew what was in her heart, she would surely retort that Little Vice President Xu’s club declaration was a rare display of childlike innocence.
“I’m fine,” Xu Qingfeng replied, but her ears flushed red. This person teases her every time she calls her Vice President Xu.
“But I’m about to give up. I’m so tired,” Xia Yiqiu said.
“Lean on me. I’m not tired.” Due to her regular exercise, Xu Qingfeng was indeed not tired right now, and she looked even more energetic when she spoke her thoughts.
She had grown taller this year, reaching over 1.73 meters, the same height as Gao Zhi, and two or three centimeters taller than Xia Yiqiu, so Xia Yiqiu leaning on her was just right.
“Oh, good. Then thank you for your hard work, Little Vice President Xu.” Xia Yiqiu leaned her body slightly toward Xu Qingfeng, but the movement was not significant, as they were in the second row.
“It’s nothing,” How could it be hard work?
Xu Qingfeng felt the slight weight of Xia Yiqiu’s body leaning on her. It wasn’t tiring. She smelled the same hair fragrance as a few days ago. Her ear tips became even redder and spread to her face. Her body straightened more and more, practically standing at attention.
Unfortunately, she did not look back and did not notice Xia Yiqiu’s similarly flushed ears.
Looking toward the back rows, some bolder club members were rapidly typing on their phones.
Xu Ni Qiu Feng Fan Club
Liang Hao: Comrades, did you see it?
Han Feng: Saw it, saw it.
Qing Only Loves Xia: Mom, the kids are seeing a real thing!
Qing Dog My Dad: Did I miss something? I can barely keep up with this progress.
Xia Cat My Mom: How many days have you been offline? Scroll up and see what Liang Hao posted.
After nearly two hours of torment and a group photo, the assembly finally ended. The Psychology Club of Weicheng No. 1 High School was officially established today!
“Ah, it’s finally over,” Gao Zhi stretched.
“I’m leaving now. Going home to sleep.” In the blink of an eye, Gao Zhi had disappeared.
Xia Yiqiu usually walked home. Her house was very close, so she didn’t need anyone to pick her up.
“Ugh, standing was so tiring. I almost don’t want to walk,” Xia Yiqiu casually complained.
“Yiqiu, let me walk you back. I just bought a bicycle recently,” Xu Qingfeng felt that her bicycle finally had a use.
As her parents’ positions grew higher, the family was provided with a security guard, but she didn’t particularly like being driven by the family’s security officer uncle. Previously, for safety in the evening, she took the bus, which was very convenient, and in the morning, she walked, which was good for exercise and clearing her head.
“Sure,” Xia Yiqiu knew she had bought a bicycle, and one with a back seat at that.
