The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 61

Jiang Er spotted the two of them from afar.

“Qiuqiu~.”

She was about to hug Xia Yiqiu again.

This would not do. She had been ambushed twice yesterday by this person who had tried to steal Yiqiu, and Jiang Er wanted to try the same trick again.

This was unacceptable; not even a cousin was allowed. If she wanted a hug, she should find her own partner.

Xu Qingfeng quickly swapped positions with Xia Yiqiu and held out her merciless hand to stop the person running toward them.

“Stop,” Xu Qingfeng told Jiang Er.

“No way, Classmate Xu, you have to be reasonable. Who are you? I want to hug Qiuqiu,” Jiang Er continued her attack.

Knowing the truth, Xu Qingfeng wasn’t disheartened this time.

“I, though undeserving, am your cousin’s girlfriend. Hmm, on probation,” Xu Qingfeng reluctantly added the latter half.

“Wow, that was fast! Then I definitely need a hug. You should thank me for my diligent acting; otherwise, where would you be today, right, you ‘pro-ba-tion-ary’ person?”

Jiang Er blinked, speaking teasingly.

“It’s good enough I didn’t send you a box cutter. You wicked villain,” Xu Qingfeng accused, pointing at Jiang Er.

She remembered Jiang Er’s performance yesterday vividly.

Although Jiang Er had given her a huge sense of crisis, prompting her to confess prematurely, the heartache was so intense that she couldn’t let down her guard yet.

What if Jiang Er was just a member of the “bone-in” club, fond of her cousin? After all, Yiqiu was so beautiful.

“Hah, you’re not even grateful. I, the great actor Jiang, was thinking of you two at all times, contributing such superb acting skills.”

“Fine, you stingy person. No hug then.”

That’s more like it, Xu Qingfeng thought.

“Mwah.”

Jiang Er seized the moment when Xu Qingfeng wasn’t looking, kissed Xia Yiqiu on the cheek, and smugly said,

“How about that, Classmate Xu? It’s not illegal for me to kiss my cousin, is it?”

Xu Qingfeng fell silent. She really didn’t dare to kiss her back now.

A bitter heart.

“Alright, stop messing around, let’s go,” Xia Yiqiu stopped the farce.

Xu Qingfeng really wanted to sigh. Once upon a time, she could say the same thing to Gao Zhi and Han Feng.

Time makes people old!

Ah, no, it’s love that makes people haggard. And now, the mockery she once directed at Gao Zhi had come back to her, though Xu Qingfeng was secretly enjoying it.

Once they arrived at the amusement park, Jiang Er ran everywhere, wanting to explore everything. Soon, she was leaving the two “seniors,” who preferred a stroll, behind.

“Ugh, you two won’t ride the roller coaster, the pirate ship, or the pendulum ride. Have some youthful energy! I don’t care, I’m going to queue up by myself.”

Jiang Er strode spiritedly toward the drop tower.

A small amusement park, easily conquered.

Afterward, Xu Qingfeng followed Xia Yiqiu to play some less thrilling rides, like bumper cars and the carousel, and watched some interactive performance shows.

As night fell, the giant Ferris wheel, reputed to be one of the world’s tallest, was neglected. People were crowding at the best viewing spot for the fireworks display, including Jiang Er, who was munching on popcorn.

“Where did those two timid souls wander off to now, Awoo.” After sending several messages to Xia Yiqiu with no reply, Jiang Er chose to eat another handful of popcorn.

Jiang Er didn’t realize that she might have been the one who wandered off and got lost.

“Hey, hey, beautiful, take a picture for me.” Jiang Er never gave up on herself; she could have fun alone.

Jiang Er stopped a stranger, asking her to take a picture of her with the fireworks. Any shot would do; Jiang Er was overly confident in her looks.

Those two timid souls certainly didn’t have time for her right now.

“Yiqiu, look at the fireworks.”

Seeing the small crowd, Xu Qingfeng had dragged Xia Yiqiu onto the Ferris wheel.

“Dummy, the view of the fireworks from here is quite beautiful,” Xia Yiqiu looked at the fireworks blooming in the distance, suddenly remembering the Mid-Autumn Festival. Time had passed, but the person beside her remained.

“You’re beautiful too,” Xu Qingfeng’s sweet words came easily.

Xia Yiqiu felt that the wish she had secretly made had come true; the love promised under the fireworks really was realized!

The light and colors of the fireworks shone in the sky, penetrating the slowly turning Ferris wheel car. The dimples on the girl’s face appeared as she happily looked out the window. Her red lips slightly parted, and she gradually leaned her head onto Xu Qingfeng’s shoulder.

She didn’t know that Xu Qingfeng felt the same way. That day, Xu Qingfeng had sincerely said, “I hope every day in the future you are very happy.” And in her heart, she had added:

“I hope that whenever you are happy in the future, the person by your side is me.”

The two of them leaned against each other, watching the sky. In their private cabin, no one disturbed them.

“Yiqiu, did you know? They say if you make a wish when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, it will come true.”

Xu Qingfeng held Xia Yiqiu’s hand, trying to remain calm. They were about to reach the summit.

“Oh, really?” Xia Yiqiu looked at her, a little skeptical. She hadn’t heard that before.

“Yes, Yiqiu. Let’s both close our eyes and make a wish in a moment, okay?” Xu Qingfeng said.

“Okay.”

Xia Yiqiu immediately clasped her hands and closed her eyes.

Watching the person leaning on her shoulder, Xu Qingfeng closed her eyes and leaned in for a kiss the moment they reached the top.

A pre-girlfriend deserves some benefits, doesn’t she?

In fact, she had lied just now. What she meant to say was:

Lovers who kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel will stay together forever.

The kiss was brief, a mere touch. Xu Qingfeng slowly pulled her face back, resting her head next to Xia Yiqiu’s.

“What are you doing? I haven’t agreed yet,” Miss Xia’s threat was completely unconvincing. If she truly disagreed, she would have pushed the person away long ago.

“I saw you had some chocolate on your lips, so I wiped it off for you,” Xu Qingfeng insisted stubbornly.

Since she wasn’t officially dating, things between classmates were about mutual help, right? It was only proper.

“Hiss—” Xu Qingfeng felt the pain coming from her right arm, which was being held. She could feel it even through her thick winter clothes.

Yiqiu pinched quite hard.

Could Little Xu resist? She was clearly in the wrong.

“Our Classmate Xu is quite warm-hearted, huh? Then let me give you a little massage too.”

Xia Yiqiu said, reaching for her again, but this time Xu Qingfeng dodged.

“Yiqiu, I was wrong,” Xu Qingfeng raised both hands in surrender.

“Then tell me, what was your mistake?”

“The mistake was not cleaning thoroughly enough and wiping for too short a time, hahahahaha.”

“Xu Dummy, you’re shameless!” Xia Yiqiu smacked her directly, showing no mercy.

Xia Yiqiu’s face was flushed crimson. She truly hadn’t realized how brazen Xu Qingfeng could be once she “woke up.”

Xu Qingfeng immediately pulled the naturally soft-bodied person into her arms, holding her tightly.

“Alright, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll listen to everything you say from now on, okay?” Her voice was gentle, and Xia Yiqiu actually fell for it.

“That’s more like it.”

Taking the opportunity, Xia Yiqiu took a picture of their clasped hands inside the Ferris wheel and posted it on a certain platform.

People in a relationship can’t help but show off.

Embracing Autumn Breeze: Today’s fireworks are beautiful.

Accompanying picture: Hands clasped with fireworks in the background, the picture of the clasped hands in the center of a nine-square grid.

A Bowl of Cold Herbal Tea: Holy cow, you secured her this fast! Little Qiu is powerful!

Throw the Paper into the Trash Can: My Goddess is in love. I bless you with tears, wishing you lasting happiness.

Outrageous Opens the Door for Outrageous: Worthy of our Little Qiu, well done [jpg.].

Wisdom King: Oho, you’re still on the Ferris wheel. Did you kiss?

Outrageous Opens the Door for Outrageous: Want to know +1.

A Bowl of Cold Herbal Tea: +1.

It must be said that Liang Hao, the seasoned CP fan, could always spot the key point.

Xia Yiqiu would never tell. Would she say, “She helped wipe my mouth”?

Embracing Autumn Breeze: Guess.

Leaving this ambiguous remark, she stopped replying.

Xu Qingfeng and the others had a very fulfilling few days. The next day, joined by the rested Liu Xiao and Teacher Yu Yi, they visited all the famous museums and popular attractions in the capital.

As expected, Xu Qingfeng won the first prize, and Liu Xiao won the second prize. However, she wasn’t disappointed; the second prize was still top ten, which was excellent. She had no problem getting an early admission offer to good universities other than Huada. Moreover, she could still try for Huada in the college entrance exam, which would put her in the same dilemma as Xu Qingfeng: to choose the early admission offer or the college entrance exam.

Xia Yiqiu and Jiang Er were happy because they both won the third prize. While it wouldn’t significantly boost their college applications, it was a great honor nonetheless, being a national-level competition.

Before they returned to school, the banner of Weicheng No. 1 High School was already hanging at the gate. Three students went, and all three won prizes, one of them being the first prize—it was like hitting the lottery.

“Xu Qingfeng, why are you smiling again? Winning first prize isn’t enough to make you smile like this, is it?”

Gao Zhi poked her childhood friend, who smiled constantly, making her look eerie. Ever since the competition, Xu Qingfeng seemed like a different person. She had forgotten that her smile was even more frightening when she was waiting for Li Tian to arrive.

But young people caught in the whirlwind of love wouldn’t notice their own abnormalities.

“I don’t care. I’ll smile when I’m happy. What, aren’t you going to do your homework?”

Xu Qingfeng pointed at Gao Zhi’s test paper. Gao Zhi resigned herself to studying. What else could she do? She still had the college entrance exam ahead of her.

Although Xu Qingfeng had been hesitant about participating in the competition initially, she now truly experienced the joy of having a “get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Old Liu was extremely pleased with his beloved student, Xu Qingfeng. He even allowed Xu Qingfeng to skip evening self-study and possibly even not come to school during her senior year. Xu Qingfeng declined Old Liu’s suggestion.

Firstly, as the class monitor and vice president of the Psychology Club, she couldn’t not attend school.

Secondly, she still had to walk Yiqiu home after evening self-study!

Not long after, Xia Yiqiu participated in the Physics Olympiad and successfully won the first prize, earning a spot for early admission to Huada’s Physics Department. Xia Yiqiu didn’t hesitate. Once the early admission system for Huada opened, she went directly to complete the procedures and sign the contract. This made Xu Qingfeng anxious, and she immediately declared that she would also apply.

As for history, she would just minor in it later.

She had to closely follow Xia Yiqiu’s footsteps; she couldn’t lag behind even a single step.

One good thing Xu Qingfeng discovered was that, after securing the early admission offer, it was essentially a semi-graduation.

So, could she apply for an upgrade now? It shouldn’t count as puppy love anymore, right? Xu Qingfeng chuckled to herself.

Unfortunately, Miss Xia flat-out refused, stating that she still wanted to try the college entrance exam. To maintain good status, she would continue attending evening self-study. She was still a complete high school student, and the “upgrade” could wait until after she turned eighteen.

Xu Qingfeng maintained a smile, comforting herself.

Right, focus on studying!

Beneath the calm surface, there was always an undercurrent of turmoil. One evening after self-study, Xu Qingfeng was waiting for Xia Yiqiu outside the neighboring classroom when she saw Liang Hao rush out, phone in hand, leaving a phrase behind.

“Don’t cry, I’ll be right there.”

In a flash, she was gone.
