The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 27

It was the same repetitive days as usual, uneventful but not boring. Xu Qingfeng rode her bike and bought breakfast.

“Boss, the sushi needs seaweed, extra shredded pork, and ketchup.” Her smooth sentence indicated she was a regular here. Xu Qingfeng parked her bike in front of the stall, one foot on the ground.

Today she had her hair tied up in a little bun. Without her glasses, her eyes were slightly blurred, and she couldn’t see people or things fifteen meters away very clearly, but luckily the route was familiar, so there would be no accidents.

The girl’s smooth jawline, neat hairstyle, and cool voice, combined with her actions, gave her an unexpected air of coolness. Xu Qingfeng was in a good mood after getting her breakfast.

Putting the breakfast in her pocket, a thought flashed through Xu Qingfeng’s mind: Boarding students could eat breakfast in the school cafeteria, and day students could also buy it there, yet the school insisted on regulating what they bought outside. It was quite strange.

Her bike was almost at the shed. Humming a tune with half-closed eyes, she skillfully found her usual parking spot in the corner.

? Who took my spot? Xu Qingfeng usually parked in the innermost corner, and logically, no one would covet this spot, and in the past, they hadn’t.

She was thinking of moving to the side. Just as she was about to park, another bike came from the opposite diagonal direction, seemingly unable to brake and rushing toward her.

Shoot, she widened her eyes.

At that moment, Xu Qingfeng considered many options, such as a sharp turn, a 360-degree dodge, or floating with qinggong (lightness skill). Obviously, none were realistic. Helpless, she passively chose to fall, closing her eyes and accepting reality.

“Clatter,” both the bike and the person fell onto the cement floor. “Hiss,” it hurt a bit. Xu Qingfeng felt her knee. She didn’t need to look; her school uniform pants were already torn, and a large patch of skin was scraped. Fortunately, it was just surface blood, not enough to cover her body.

How unlucky, she endured the pain and struggled to stand up by holding onto her bike.

“I’m so sorry, classmate, really, I’m so sorry.” The girl who knocked her down was completely unharmed and apologized with a face full of guilt.

“Classmate, I was distracted just now and accidentally couldn’t brake. I’m truly sorry.” The girl’s voice was trembling, her demeanor anxious and uneasy. Such a sincere apology, and fortunately, she wasn’t seriously injured, just needing to go to the infirmary for medicine later.

“It’s okay. I’m going now.” She put the bike away and left.

She was accidentally injured. Although she didn’t want to pursue the matter, her good mood had been ruined. Staying to comfort the culprit was clearly a level of generosity Xu Qingfeng had not yet reached.

The girl hadn’t expected the classmate to be so kind, without even a word of reproach. Looking at Xu Qingfeng’s limping figure walking away, she called out, “Classmate, let me help you!”

“No need!” Seeing you will just make me angry, Xu Qingfeng flatly refused the girl’s offer. Besides, if Yiqiu saw it, she would get jealous.

Friends who appear out of nowhere.

Refuse them all.

The strong tone of refusal made the girl stop moving. That graceful back, the wave of a hand refusing without ever looking back, so cool! The girl was touched and thought, What a kind person.

A beautiful misunderstanding was born just like that.

“Classmate, I’m Chen Siyu from Class 5, Grade 12. If you need anything, please find me!” The girl shouted from behind, forgetting that she could actually move and catch up to the person ahead.

Xu Qingfeng naturally didn’t have the time to remember. With the wind blowing, she hadn’t heard anything anyway.

Chen Siyu then remembered to push her bike into the shed. The person just now was so familiar. She walked a few more steps on the road.

Ah! It was Xu Qingfeng from Class Zero, her deskmate’s former secret crush.

The affections of youth come and go quickly. Chen Siyu’s deskmate was madly in love with the character “Fu Qingfeng” a while ago, but recently found new fun and completely forgot about the unromantic Xu Qingfeng.

However, today Xu Qingfeng was a bit different from before; with her hair tied up, she looked exceptionally neat and handsome.

Xu Qingfeng bravely walked back to the classroom. She used to be happy that the walk from the classroom to the bike shed was long, allowing her to chat more with Yiqiu. Today, however, it hurt so much. Don’t let her carefree demeanor fool you.

Pain, unspeakable.

Looking at the blue sky and the distant classroom, Xu Qingfeng felt heavy-hearted. “Phew,” a bird flew past. Xu Qingfeng couldn’t see its appearance, but she hated that bird.

A blob of bird droppings landed on her clean, straight nose.

No tissues. She used her hand to wipe away most of the foreign object. Looking closely, her hanging heart dropped; it really was bird droppings.

I must be down on my luck.

Ignoring the pain in her leg, she sprinted toward the classroom.

In the classroom, Gao Zhi saw his deskmate, who was usually calm and steady, sprint to her seat, throw her backpack down, and rush out the door without a word.

“Hey, Qingfeng—” The fast-moving Xu Qingfeng only left her with a gust of wind.

Gao Zhi was incredibly curious. He nudged Han Feng in front of him. “Do you think Qingfeng took the wrong medicine?”

Han Feng, with his “director’s illness” acting up, replied, “Bold Gao Zhi, how dare you speak ill of the class monitor? What crime is this? I shall report it to the sovereign later.” Han Feng cupped his hands toward the air.

A wave of speechlessness floated in the air.

Gao Zhi instantly lost the urge to chat or argue with this lunatic. He had been wrong before; Han Feng was not a normal person.

“Hey, I was just kidding. Why so serious?” Han Feng saw the expression on Gao Zhi’s face and wanted to argue, but Gao Zhi had decided not to engage with him anymore.

If Xu Qingfeng saw that Gao Zhi had finally matured, she would be relieved, but she didn’t have the mental capacity for that right now.

On the second-floor restroom, Xu Qingfeng turned on the faucet and fiercely rubbed her right hand—the hand that had touched the bird’s secretion, now a synonym for filth.

Once, twice, thrice. Just as she let out a sigh of relief, she remembered that her nose was still dirty.

Bending over and tilting her head back, she put her head under the faucet to rinse. Xu Qingfeng had a clean-freak tendency that wasn’t noticeable unless one looked closely. That’s why she generally disliked others touching her, unless it was too awkward to refuse.

After rinsing for over a minute, the girl finally lifted her head and brushed the water off her face with her hand. She had learned her lesson about not carrying tissues; she would definitely carry them from now on.

Water droplets clung to the girl’s fair, translucent skin. The loose hairs from her ponytail were wet. The anger stemming from her terrible luck was hidden between her brows. She was strikingly beautiful, the kind of handsomeness that invaded one’s heart.

“What’s wrong? Why are you washing your face so much?” Xia Yiqiu appeared behind her at some point, looking at Xu Qingfeng with an indulgent tone, holding tissues in her hand. Without waiting for an answer, her hand was already gently wiping away the water droplets for her.

The grievance in her heart surged up instantly. “I…” It was too embarrassing to say. She still didn’t want to tell Yiqiu. The hesitation in her eyes was captured—the little beast was tough but had thin skin.

Xia Yiqiu smiled, patiently tracing the face of the person opposite her with her hand, saying understandingly, “If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it, my poor little bookworm.”

“Nonsense.” I’m not pitiful at all. Xu Qingfeng turned her face to adjust the unintentional, slightly spoiled look she had just given.

“Don’t move around. I haven’t wiped this side yet.” Her face was held steady by Xia Yiqiu. Her eyes looked gently at her little bookworm. So beautiful.

The temperature on Xu Qingfeng’s face began to rise, and her ear tips were already red.

Why is she talking like that? It’s weird, it’s making people misunderstand.

Liang Hao leaned against the outside of the restroom, keeping watch. “Heh, mushy.”

Earlier, Xia Yiqiu and she were discussing today’s cleaning duty near the classroom podium when they saw Xu Qingfeng sprint to the restroom. She had pulled Liang Hao along.

The excuse was: Accompany me to the restroom.

Who was worried about whom? She wouldn’t say. Who took the tissues from her body? She wouldn’t say either. Who stood silently, waiting for the person inside to be called outside? She definitely wouldn’t say.

“Ding-a-ling.” The first bell for morning reading rang. Xu Qingfeng told Xia Yiqiu, “Let’s go back to the classroom.”

“Hiss.” She had clearly forgotten about the injury on her leg.

Xia Yiqiu’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, looking at the torn pants of the person opposite her. “What exactly happened to you?”

“Ah, this… I accidentally fell.” Xu Qingfeng’s eyes were flustered; she didn’t want the person opposite to worry.

“Come on, I’m taking you to the infirmary.” Xia Yiqiu pulled her toward the infirmary without question.

“Liang Hao, tell the teacher I won’t be in for morning reading, and remind Gao Zhi.” Xia Yiqiu said as they passed the doorway.

“Hey, Xia Yiqiu, tell me what reason to use!” Liang Hao chased after her, asking.

“Just say I’m helping a classmate, a fool who doesn’t take care of herself.” Xia Yiqiu answered Liang Hao and Xu Qingfeng at the same time, expressing her worry and dissatisfaction to Xu Qingfeng.

On the way back from the infirmary, Xia Yiqiu looked at Xu Qingfeng’s medicated wound and finally felt relieved.

“It’s a good thing the school doctor said there’s no big problem, or else I’d see how you’d participate in the sports meet next week. You need to learn a lesson and stop being so careless,” Xia Yiqiu teased.

Xu Qingfeng felt quite embarrassed. “Oh, it’s not a big deal, and besides, it wasn’t my fault.” She casually let slip what was on her mind.

“Hmm? What exactly happened?” Xia Yiqiu noticed the hint, and her non-negotiable tone made Xu Qingfeng not dare to hide anything.

“Well, this morning, when I was parking my bike…”

Unexpectedly, Xia Yiqiu didn’t sympathize with her, but said sourly, “Oh, so our President Xu is once again feeling pity for a beauty and can’t bear to criticize her?”

“No, I thought she was too pitiful.” Xu Qingfeng defended herself.

“So, you’re not pitiful?” Xia Yiqiu countered.

“That’s a different matter. Besides, I didn’t want her to help me up.” Xu Qingfeng mumbled softly.

Xia Yiqiu finally understood where the romance was coming from. Considering her self-control, she stopped pressing Xu Qingfeng.

She looked at the distant restroom and suddenly thought of something else. “Then what were you doing washing your face in the restroom all that time?”

“Ah, this… this.” Xu Qingfeng was still embarrassed to say it.

“Hurry up and say it, Xu Dummy, or I’ll get angry.” Yiqiu was already a bit unhappy earlier, so she really didn’t dare to hide it anymore.

“Just now, some bird droppings fell on my nose.” It was barely audible, but fortunately, Xia Yiqiu’s ears were sharp.

“Haha.” Out of consideration for the person’s face, Xia Yiqiu didn’t laugh out loud, only smiling slightly.

She really is a dummy.

“See? This is a warning from heaven.” Xia Yiqiu pointed a finger at the sky.

“Ah, what warning?” A bewildered look appeared on Xu Qingfeng’s face.

A punishment for unintentionally capturing people’s hearts, Xia Yiqiu thought to herself. As long as Xu Qingfeng didn’t confess, she would remain a potentially restless element.

Xu Qingfeng’s punishment was not over yet. When the morning reading class ended, she finally had time to eat breakfast. Cold sushi was better than an empty stomach.

After the first period, Gao Zhi once again saw his sprinting deskmate.

Xu Qingfeng had a stomach ache.

Now she understood why the school didn’t allow outside breakfast. It wasn’t just a matter of hygiene but also the problem of when to eat it.

What a day of bad luck!
