The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 54

Little Xu quickly saw the girl of her heart.

The girl in the white sweater was not as fierce as she had sounded on the phone. Today, Xia Yiqiu had uncharacteristically tied her hair into a single braid, making her look gentle and quiet under the winter sun.

This was her small deliberate effort. When Xu Qingfeng saw her, Xia Yiqiu waved at her, showing a bright smile. The ice and snow melted at this moment, and loneliness vanished without a trace.

How about that, dummy? Are you mesmerized?

It was true. However, the one who was stunned did not forget the mission of coming out. Relying on instinct, she explained the reason and led the person in, but the infatuated look in her eyes never moved.

Yiqiu is beautiful today.

Xu Qingfeng didn’t know when she held the beauty’s hand on the way, asking questions and showing concern.

“Yiqiu, why did you come? Was the journey here cold?”

Xu Qingfeng was very self-aware, holding her hand tighter, and even wanting to put her hand into her own coat pocket, but the current temperature hadn’t reached that point yet, so she had to give up.

“I heard that a certain poor soul was going to spend New Year’s Day alone and cross the year by herself. That would be too pitiful, so this young lady, being kind-hearted, temporarily came over to accompany you.”

Saying insincere words in a soft, sweet tone, the “poor soul” herself was deeply moved.

This tsundere Miss Xia, who was usually so open-minded, how come she was so hesitant when expressing kindness? How could Xu Qingfeng not hear the concern in her words?

However, Xu Qingfeng, who thought their relationship was just friendship and lacked a romantic bone in her head, did not know that:

When facing the person she likes, all words are unnatural. She wants you to know she likes you, but doesn’t want it to be noticed so easily. Even if you know the other person likes her, the young girl whose hand she holds deeply believes that the one who says ‘I love you’ first is the loser.

“Thank you, Miss, for gracing my humble abode.” Xu Qingfeng led Xia Yiqiu into the house, a smile on her lips that a gun couldn’t suppress.

“It smells good.”

As soon as Xia Yiqiu entered the house, she smelled a fragrance. It was her favorite tomato and beef brisket, which smelled no less delicious than what Li Sao made.

Xu Qingfeng led her to the dining table. Seeing Xia Yiqiu’s expression, she guessed that the person hadn’t eaten yet, so she walked to the rice cooker and scooped out another bowl of rice.

“Did you make this?” Xia Yiqiu took the bowl and chopsticks and couldn’t wait to taste it, taking one bite after another.

She guessed right, it was really better than what Li Sao made.

“Yes, how is it?” Xu Qingfeng’s eyes sparkled, soliciting praise.

“Hmm… you, the driver, can also work as a cook.”

Xia Yiqiu didn’t want to praise the person in front of her too much, lest she become proud. She hadn’t forgotten how this person had been dragging her feet and hadn’t figured out how to ask her out a few days ago. She was only here today because she pitied her.

Yes, from the time she learned that this poor soul was staying alone until she arrived at Xu Qingfeng’s house, only an hour had passed. Changing clothes and the journey itself must have taken quite some time.

However, Miss Xia would not admit this.

She is not that impatient. It’s kindness!

“Alright, then how about I cook for you every day from now on?”

Xu Qingfeng stared at her with her peach blossom eyes, which were simply a crime. The peach blossom eyes smiled, seemingly intending to mesmerize the person being looked at.

What is she doing? Flirting recklessly! Xia Yiqiu didn’t back down.

“Then what should our driver Xu do? Turn into a sea snail maiden and come to my house every morning?” Xia Yiqiu licked the tomato sauce from the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, then looked at Xu Qingfeng with a playful expression.

“Gulp.”

Xu Qingfeng swallowed. Does Yiqiu have to be so criminal? Really. I’ve been watching too much nonsense lately. Clear your head, Xu Qingfeng. Xu Qingfeng criticized herself in her heart.

“It… it’s not impossible.” After saying the word “it,” Xu Qingfeng looked at Xia Yiqiu with firm eyes.

If I were truly so lucky to be with you, I would be willing to be a cook for a lifetime. The happiness of cooking delicious meals for the person I love is doubled.

“I’ll remember that then.” Xia Yiqiu lowered her head. Her sweet smile enhanced the flavor of the food. Xu Qingfeng, sitting across from her, ate half a bowl more rice.

Xu Qingfeng had originally planned that the food might not be finished and would be eaten again in the evening, which made her a little melancholic. She discovered that the amount of the four dishes was just right for the two of them. She had deliberately reduced the portions of the dishes other than the tomato and beef brisket, and they were all cleared.

The happiest moment for a cook is when someone praises her cooking, and the most sincere compliment is not verbal. Not a single grain of rice or a drop of soup left is enough to prove the success of the meal.

It seems Yiqiu really likes it. Xu Qingfeng’s eyes were full of smiles.

In the afternoon, both of them were lazy. Sleepiness in spring, fatigue in autumn, nodding off in summer, and hibernation? Well, it’s the three months of winter when you can’t wake up.

After touring Xu Qingfeng’s bedroom, they were bored. The two sat by the glass door facing the yard and chatted. Counting the days, Little Xu had suffered a lot of grievances during this time, having guessed the other party’s feelings incorrectly, and they hadn’t really had a good chat.

Even when sitting on the back seat of the bicycle every night, Miss Xia had to “humpf.”

After a long time.

Xia Yiqiu had fallen asleep at some point. She lay on a rocking chair. Sunlight sprinkled on her body. The chirping of birds could be heard outside. In the lazy world, the girl’s beautiful profile while sleeping, and Xu Qingfeng sitting beside her reading a book.

A beautiful picture, peaceful and quiet. Xu Qingfeng liked this feeling.

After an unknown period, the girl who had been clamoring to go out and play later opened her eyes and saw the sunset. The red clouds, in the house with only two people, a warm atmosphere was growing, as if this were their home.

“Ugh, why didn’t you wake me up?” Xia Yiqiu opened her sleepy eyes. Her cute appearance amused the person in front of her.

“Because our Yiqiu baby is still growing, she needs more sleep.” Xu Qingfeng closed the book and started her illogical humor.

“Are you asking for a beating?” Xia Yiqiu felt that Xu Qingfeng had become more and more irritating recently. Where was her innocent dummy? Usually, it was her teasing Xu Qingfeng.

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. So, what is our Miss Xia eating tonight?” Xu Qingfeng thought there were still some vegetables in the fridge last night, but it was a bit plain.

“Anything is fine.” Xia Yiqiu was not picky. Besides, whatever Xu Qingfeng made was quite delicious.

“Okay, then, you rest here, I’ll go make dinner.”

Saying that, Xu Qingfeng went to the kitchen to show off her skills.

Watching the person handling the ingredients in an orderly manner was quite attractive.

Xia Yiqiu had nothing to do, so she picked up the book Xu Qingfeng had just closed. When they came together, the dummy Xu had been blocking the book and wouldn’t let her see. She had seen it: there was a note inside, and the dummy Xu looked so flustered when she saw the note.

She opened the book and unfolded the note. It read:

Every time I look, the trees by the roadside are green, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. Every time I look up, the back in the distance is tall and straight, not knowing whether to turn my eyes or look ahead. But I know that if I take one more step forward, the abyss is at my feet. – Xu Qingfeng

The time signed was at the end of last semester, when they were not yet familiar with each other.

So, the dummy Xu liked me this early.

If you don’t dare, then I’ll help you!

When the food was ready, Xu Qingfeng noticed that Miss Xia was even more pleasant towards her.

She looked at the dishes she made: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, crispy fried chicken wings, the remaining tomato and beef brisket, and a clear-fried cabbage.

Could it be that my cooking skills have completely conquered Yiqiu’s stomach?

Seeing Xia Yiqiu continuing to eat with a smile.

That must be it!!!

It seems being able to cook is still very popular, Xu Qingfeng was extremely pleased.

After the meal, the two sat down to aid digestion.

“How about we turn on the TV? There will be a gala tonight,” Xia Yiqiu suggested.

“Sure.” Xu Qingfeng usually didn’t watch these things, but with Yiqiu, there was nothing she wouldn’t do.

The TV was turned on and the gala was found.

“Dear audience friends…”

The host’s voice on the TV was loud. As night fell, Xu Qingfeng’s house finally had some New Year’s Eve atmosphere. Xu Qingfeng looked at the girl beside her. She really wanted to be with her forever.

Time flew by watching the program. In a flash, it was time for the countdown. The hosts on the TV were shouting the countdown, and Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu were also drawn in, looking at each other and shouting.

“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.”

“Happy New Year!”

“Happy New Year!”

Fireworks outside rang out in response. The whole world was celebrating the arrival of the new year.

Gao Zhi stood outside the window, looking at the spectacular fireworks. Although not as shocking as those on Mid-Autumn Day, they were still dazzling and exhilarating.

She sent a message to Li Tian immediately.

“Tian Tian, Happy New Year!”

She thought Li Tian was still in the afternoon and probably wouldn’t reply.

The next second, Li Tian replied, “Happy New Year!”

And sometimes, arguing is also a special way of expressing affection.

“Ah, Kong Qiaofeng, what’s wrong with letting me win a round!”

Liang Hao released the game controller weakly. The girl next to her didn’t indulge her.

“Hmm? What did you just call me?”

“Qiaofeng.” Liang Hao pretended to be silly. Before the person could flare up, she pointed to the fireworks outside the window and said, “Happy New Year, Qiaofeng.”

The girl was miraculously obedient and didn’t retort.

“Happy New Year!”

A few hours ago, Liang Hao, carrying a large bag of barbecue and a few bottles of drinks, knocked on her door.

“Qiaofeng, I told my mom I’d be playing at a classmate’s house today. Why don’t we play games together? You can teach me.” Liang Hao smiled pleadingly.

Kong Qiaofeng admitted that for a moment, her heart was fooled by her smile.

Only for a moment! After ending the recollection, she said to Liang Hao, “Get up, keep playing.”

“Ahhhhhhhh!” Liang Hao resigned herself. God knows if her brain short-circuited or something today, why did she voluntarily come to play games with Kong Qiaofeng.

Xia Yiqiu felt that perhaps she made the wrong decision to stay tonight. She shouldn’t have slept; they should have gone out to play.

After midnight, Xia Yiqiu was about to call Uncle Wang to come and pick her up.

Just then, the dusty Xu Zhenzhong and Ms. Yan Chunhua entered and saw Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu holding hands.

“Qingfeng, your father and I…” Ms. Yan’s words caught in her throat. This seemed to have a festive atmosphere, and her daughter looked very happy.

She and Old Xu had rushed home after finishing work, but they still missed midnight. Over the years, because of work, they had greatly neglected Qingfeng.

Ms. Yan changed the look of guilt on her face. Upon closer inspection, the pretty girl next to her daughter looked a little familiar.

Ah, it was the one Xu Qingfeng was hugging that day.

“Is this Classmate Xia?”
