The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 63

This year’s recruitment was very successful, with a total of fifty new members selected from the first-year students in three days.

Afterward, Ms. Du’s attention was completely absorbed in the plans for the psychodrama. She immediately designated Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu as the leads, given the great success of last year’s performance.

Moreover, among the experienced third-year students, these two were the least busy. Although they wanted to take the college entrance examination (Gaokao) for a fulfilling conclusion, everyone knew the reality was almost certain. Even Old Liu Tou (their teacher) would probably approve if Xu Qingfeng dozed off in class.

“At least contribute as the club president,” they thought.

This time, our Director Han was eager to give it a try. Although his grades fluctuated due to being overly engrossed in group chats and photography, Han Feng still ranked tenth in the second semester’s final exam of the second year.

He was full of confidence.

He declared, “Filming a short drama for a few days won’t be a problem at all.”

Gao Zhi and Liang Hao, however, had no interest in cameo roles; they were fighting for every second.

At this moment, Xu Qingfeng really wanted to exclaim, “Love is truly great!”

She also secretly slipped in some perks for herself into the script.

This time, Xu Qingfeng planned to write a story criticizing high school students’ puppy love.

Ahem, ahem, ahem, she was definitely not criticizing herself.

The story, titled The Wrong Letter, centered on a storm triggered by a love letter.

The story begins when Song Yiqiu, the class’s invisible student, receives an anonymous love letter one day. It is snatched away by a nosy boy, who publicly opens and reads it aloud with a mocking tone, vividly describing the contents.

From then on, she is often teased. Gradually, the naturally quiet person becomes even more silent, and her grades plummet. The reason for writing the love letter turns out to be a mere prank, a ‘Truth or Dare’ challenge.

Song Yiqiu becomes depressed. The turning point is the arrival of a new classmate, Ren Qingfeng. She is seated next to Song Yiqiu. Whenever Song Yiqiu is bullied, Ren Qingfeng always helps her. After learning the full story, she investigates who wrote the letter, confronts the boy, and makes the prankster and those who habitually mocked Song Yiqiu apologize publicly, even during the flag-raising ceremony.

Finally, with Ren Qingfeng’s companionship, Song Yiqiu gains friendship, her academic performance gradually improves, and they both have bright futures.

The main theme is to promote positive energy, and Ms. Du planned to use the school’s official website to publish it, advocating for a harmonious campus environment.

Of course, if you insist that Xia Yiqiu is an invisible student, it’s obviously not realistic. However, since it’s a promotional video, good-looking people must be selected, or else young people today probably wouldn’t watch much.

Ms. Du had profound foresight. She planned to directly use a joint photo of Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu as the cover, guaranteeing attention.

As for the friendship in the drama, Xu Qingfeng intended to heavily emphasize it. Han Feng’s idea coincided with hers; his intention, as Director Han, was to film a grand depiction.

“What a beautiful socialist sisterhood!”

The “Xu Ni Qiu Feng” (Xu’s Autumn Wind) Support Group Chat.

Han Feng: Everyone, your Director Han is ready to roll up his sleeves! I’ve waited so long, and I’m finally back online. clapping jpg.

Liang Hao: Director Han, I support you in spirit. cheering jpg.

Han Feng: You, Liang Hao, you’ve even participated in my dramas. Why are you so unmotivated this time? I wanted to give you more screen time. disdain jpg.

Feng Xiaoxiao: Director Han, please make sure to give me plenty of screen time.

Han Feng: No problem at all.

Psych Club Little Tyrant: A year ago, I was really looking forward to these intimate scenes, but recently I find them increasingly tasteless.

Member A: Yes, exactly. Too much sugar, it needs a little digestion.

Qing Wei Ai Xia: Me too.

Liang Hao: Finally, you guys feel this way. I started thinking this way half a year ago.

Ever since Xu Qingfeng entered the evaluation period, she directly acted as an official girlfriend, being incredibly attentive. Even though Xia Yiqiu repeatedly told her to be careful, the club members weren’t blind. Those knowing glances and subtle gestures were only mistaken for close best-friend affection by Gao Zhi.

The club members in the chat group were obsessed with the pairing, but with the frequent ‘sugar’ distribution, the threshold gradually increased, and members became accustomed to small amounts of sweetness.

Even the current psychodrama didn’t particularly impress them.

Hmph, it’s just a play.

Every time they had a club activity, the two presidents were practically having a live broadcast of a dating show.

The club members shared a common thought:

“Why haven’t these two gone public yet? It’s so hard to pretend not to know! We really want a ‘blast’ (public announcement)!”

If Xu Qingfeng knew, she would definitely plead her innocence.

“I’m still a reserve/on probation!!!”

It’s just that occasional kisses and hand-holding—well, good (girlfriends/besties) do things like that, right?

Third-year students didn’t have full weekends. To ensure smooth filming, they could only squeeze in time during lunch breaks. Fortunately, the day after the second day of filming was a Sunday, and the total filming time took less than a week.

One day, while filming a crying scene, Han Feng aimed his camera right at Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu’s faces.

“Quick, hug,” Han Feng mouthed silently.

So tiring! Xu Qingfeng felt like she was under surveillance since filming began; she couldn’t even whisper a secret.

She embraced Xia Yiqiu and began to angrily scold the surrounding students, played by the club members.

“You guys are going too far! Don’t blame me for being rude if I see your gossip again.”

Don’t mention the name change, but keeping the surname provided a great sense of immersion. Xu Qingfeng was genuinely angry and earned extreme praise from Han Feng.

“Cut!” Director Han called out himself.

“Perfect! Excellent, top student! My great work is bound to be a hit!” Han Feng excitedly placed his hand on Xu Qingfeng’s shoulder.

“Let go quickly.”

“Let go.”

Two voices spoke simultaneously. The one with “quickly” was Xu Qingfeng; she didn’t want her little sovereign to misunderstand. The other, slightly colder, was President Xia, who shot a sharp glare at Han Feng.

“My two liege lords, I admit my mistake,” Han Feng said teasingly.

Recently, President Xia’s possessiveness had become increasingly obvious. Han Feng dared not argue and quickly retracted his hand.

Xia Yiqiu had been in a good mood these past few days, often posting updates on a certain app, occasionally sharing side-profile photos of Xu Qingfeng. Today, after they wrapped up filming, with Xu Qingfeng’s consent, she directly posted a joint photo of the two of them.

When Xu Qingfeng was asked about it, she was practically begging Xia Yiqiu to post it quickly. This was a “declaration of relationship” in a certain sense.

She struck it rich!

Embracing Autumn Wind: So, the story ends, but we won’t part! Attached: Nine-panel grid of joint photos.

Tossing Paper into the Trash Can: Little Qiu has really been showing off lately. My teeth are aching from the sweetness, but Little Qiu, your partner is so good-looking!

A Bowl of Cold Tea: The Trash Can is right. Handsome girl and beautiful girl, a perfect match!

Outrageous Opens the Door for Outrageous: Let me take a big bite of this sugar, so satisfying!

Xia Yiqiu was in a good mood looking at the replies, then she glanced up and saw Xu Qingfeng staring at her account.

Uh oh, how did I not think of this? My alias is exposed.

Xu Qingfeng, standing beside her, was secretly thrilled.

“Who would have thought that Yiqiu liked me for so long, hehehe! ‘Hiking with someone you like.’ Yep, that’s her.”

“Stop looking.” Xia Yiqiu’s face was flushed with embarrassment. What’s the difference between this and having a private diary read?

“No, I want to look!”

“Hmm?”

“I won’t look.” Xu Qingfeng put her phone away.

“That’s better.” Xia Yiqiu replied.

She’s so cute, Xu Qingfeng sighed, looking at Xia Yiqiu’s relieved expression.

I’ll secretly look again when I get home.

To her surprise, when she checked her phone after getting home, Xia Yiqiu had set all her previous posts to ‘visible only to self,’ except for the one posted today.

Still one move behind!

The drama was just filmed and not yet edited, but the Psychology Club ran into a big problem.

Due to the fluctuating grades of club members over the past year, although the club’s contributions were significant, the school leadership believed that everything should prioritize studies. Coupled with the increasing proportion of art students in the school.

The school leadership decided that it would be better to change the Psychology Club’s venue into a space for other art students. The art students were very pleased with this location near the classrooms last time.

“Darn it, this is too much!” Han Feng angrily slammed his hand on Gao Zhi’s desk. As for Xu Qingfeng’s, he didn’t have the guts yet.

During the break, Han Feng, who was initially looking at his excellent work on his phone, immediately saw the news about the Psychology Club’s disbandment posted by the head of the internet department in the main group chat. He instantly consulted the two behind him. He rose up in revolt and immediately cursed.

“Exactly! Why didn’t they say they wanted to disband earlier? We’ve already recruited new members and filmed the drama. Aren’t they just toying with us?” Gao Zhi was equally indignant.

The two looked at Xu Qingfeng, who was silent and said nothing.

Xu Qingfeng was thinking. Ultimately, the Psychology Club’s activities did indeed delay students’ academic progress. Over the past year, except for Liang Hao, Gao Zhi, and Han Feng, who were part of the lunchtime study group, the other members’ academic performance had declined to varying degrees.

The school’s intention was broadly for the students’ benefit. However, she didn’t want to give up like this. The Psychology Club held extraordinary significance for her, and she believed all members felt the same way.

Grades are the key, Xu Qingfeng frowned.

If they could stabilize and improve the members’ grades, then having Ms. Du negotiate again might lead to a turnaround. The formal notice had not yet been issued.

“I’ll go ask Ms. Du later,” Xu Qingfeng finally spoke.

“Okay.” Han Feng and Gao Zhi dejectedly returned to their studies.

During lunch, Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu were on duty.

“Yiqiu, I’ve asked Ms. Du.” Xu Qingfeng’s expression was a little conflicted. Xia Yiqiu was the only one she dared to discuss this with now; she didn’t dare to directly post Ms. Du’s words in the group.

“I know, I asked too.” Xia Yiqiu held her hand.

“So, we only have less than three weeks. Should we give it a try?”

Xu Qingfeng was a little uncertain. Ms. Du replied that the school leadership intended to make a decision after seeing the results of the recent monthly exams for the second and third-year club members. Improving the grades of all second and third-year members in such a short time was very difficult. She wanted to fight for it, and she wanted the support of the person in front of her.

“Why wouldn’t we try? Let’s work hard together, okay?”

Xia Yiqiu smiled gently at Xu Qingfeng, as if they were back to when they first got acquainted last year. At that time, she only wanted to look at the shining sun from afar, never expecting that one day she could embrace it herself.

“Her little sun can always sweep away the haze in people’s hearts.”

“Okay.” Xu Qingfeng had made up her mind.

After discussion, they decided that Xia Yiqiu would launch a poll in the main group chat.

Xia Yiqiu: @All Members, I believe everyone knows that due to the general decline in members’ grades, the school leadership is considering canceling the Psychology Club. After consulting Ms. Du, we know that no formal notice has been issued yet; the decision will mainly depend on this month’s monthly exam results. Xu President and I have thought about it and truly don’t want to sit and wait. The Psychology Club is the product of everyone’s efforts; we built it together step by step, gradually making it mature and stable. Therefore, we plan to set up a study group every day during lunch break at the club venue. Everyone can help each other answer any questions they don’t understand. Below is a poll to see if you agree. Thank you, everyone.

This idea was proposed by Xu Qingfeng. Further reflection led her to realize that the reason Gao Zhi, Liang Hao, and Kong Qiaofeng improved so quickly was inseparable from their mutual supervision and study, plus her and Xia Yiqiu’s tutoring. It would be difficult not to improve.

So, why not establish a large study group directly within the club? The club conference room had ready-made tables and chairs, and it was quiet, allowing for free discussion.

The voting results came out: passed unanimously. Not only for the sake of the club, who wouldn’t want tutoring from the top students in both the humanities and sciences? Some first-year club members also proactively joined.

Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu felt quite good tutoring and answering questions in the club every noon. Occasionally, a few students would come for counseling, and one of them would take them into the dedicated room.

This made up for Vice President Xu’s regret of not having helped a few students over the past year.

I’m so tired!

In the first few days, Xu Qingfeng felt like screaming, but looking at Xia Yiqiu carefully guiding the others, she felt that this was also a kind of happiness.

Fortunately, after a few days, the members gradually found their rhythm. They could now help each other with difficult questions, and everyone would also take time to help their classmates.

Constant studying also gets tiring. Whenever someone felt exhausted, they would proactively go and help a classmate. After solving the classmate’s troubles and receiving praise, the person would return to studying with renewed vigor.

However, the moment those students entered, they were guaranteed to be shocked. Is this group in the Psychology Club studying too hard?

Through word-of-mouth promotion by many students, the study atmosphere in the school became noticeably enthusiastic.

The editing of the psychodrama was delayed because of this. Director Han, busy but stealing moments, used his self-taught editing skills to edit the less than one-hour video for three weeks, roughly until the time the monthly exam finished. His video was finally complete.

As the saying goes, it was a double celebration!

When the monthly exam results came out, the school leadership found that the grades of the Psychology Club members had not fallen but risen, temporarily dispelling the idea of disbanding the club. When the head of the internet department sent this news to the main group chat, Han Feng’s video was momentarily overlooked.

Head of Internet Department: You wouldn’t believe it, the principal was laughing so hard when he saw the grades. His face changed so quickly. The vice-principal was flattering him, saying things like, “The school’s comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical education, art, and labor is all thanks to your efforts!” Hmph, what a flatterer.

Xia Yiqiu: Everyone is awesome! We did it!

Xu Qingfeng was the first to respond to her “wife.”

Xu Qingfeng: We did it!

Feng Xiaoxiao: We did it! Long live the President! Long live the Psychology Club!

Head of Internet Department: We did it! Long live the President! Long live the Psychology Club!

Of course, this crisis also served as a reminder to the Psychology Club. After discussion between Ms. Du and the school leadership, it was decided that from the second semester of the third year, third-year club members would no longer participate in club activities.

Within the Psychology Club, it was decided to continue the lunchtime study group (voluntary participation, of course). The results of each monthly exam would be compared at the club meeting. If someone’s grades declined, they would have to attend that month. If they refused to attend and rejected counseling, serious cases would result in the member being asked to leave the club.

At the same time, in the “Xu Ni Qiu Feng” Support Group Chat:

Son of Qing Xia: @Head of Internet Department, although I know your gossip ability is strong, I still want to ask: Web Administrator, how do you know all this in such detail?

Liang Hao: Me too.

Han Feng: Me too.

Head of Internet Department: Naturally, I have my channels as the department head. Otherwise, how could I have run for the head of the internet department in the first place? It’s a secret. shush jpg.

Member A: Web Administrator is mighty.

Han Feng: Now that the celebration is over, look up in the main group chat. Didn’t you notice something was overlooked?

Liang Hao: Holy moly, Slow Turtle, you finally finished editing!

Feng Xiaoxiao: Wow, my eyes are instantly cured when I open it.

Liang Hao: Not bad, Slow Turtle. Your video is quite beautiful, but it looks like a film about romantic redemption.

Han Feng: That’s the feeling I was going for! My latest romantic blockbuster! Hahahahahahaha!

Member A: Director Han, you’re going to be famous.

Han Feng: Not at all, not at all.

Everyone continued to flatter Han Feng in the group chat. After a year of being together, the members had become close friends. They usually satisfied Han Feng’s desire for praise, after all, he genuinely put in the work.

Just as Member A said, Director Han became famous. Strictly speaking, it was Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu’s looks that made his masterpiece popular.

Ms. Du reviewed it and thought it was good, publishing it directly on the school’s official website. The students of the school immediately posted it on the school forum.

This was much more exciting than a stage play—it was a pure visual feast!

The whole school began to ‘ship’ them. The more they shipped, the more ‘sugar’ they found! Previously forgotten threads were brought back to the top—things like holding hands while jointly receiving an award, or the “ground slam” in the rain during the sports meet. Some even followed the clues and discovered Xia Yiqiu’s only remaining public update.

Oh my god, what does “The story ends, but we won’t part!” mean? What huge sugar!

Even the members of the Support Group were shocked, except for the “Wise King” Liang Hao, who was working behind the scenes.

However, looking at the comments, they felt something was off. Partner? Did the two top students really start dating?

There was no doubt about it. All members of the Psychology Club could confirm it. Well, except for Gao Zhi, who was completely bewildered, jumping all over the place to catch up on the gossip.

Good heavens, how did her childhood friend and President Xia have so much to talk about!

The members of the Support Group finally couldn’t hold back. Disguising themselves with aliases, they dumped the fanfiction they had written internally and the edited drama videos onto the school forum. The alumni on the forum also exerted their creativity, engaging in intense creative work.

However, for the sake of their Presidents, they still went to Weibo to painstakingly explain.

“No, no, they are not partners, they are good (girlfriends/besties)!”

Xia Yiqiu’s original fans, such as A Bowl of Cold Tea, desperately wanted to refute, but their fighting power was too weak, and they were left speechless by the Support Group members.

“Fine, whatever you say is what it is. I just regret not taking screenshots before.”

“Little Qiu, hurry up and unlock your previous updates!”

Seeing the chaotic situation, Xia Yiqiu really wanted to officially announce it. But after thinking it over, she realized they hadn’t graduated yet, and officially they were still in the evaluation period, so she let it go for now.

Gao Zhi, however, couldn’t figure it out: Are they or aren’t they? She decided to ask the principals face-to-face.

Gao Zhi sent Xu Qingfeng a link to a campus forum post analyzing the details of their relationship.

Gao Zhi: Buddy, is what it says here true?

Xu Qingfeng, who was reading, was confused by the message. She clicked the link and read the post.

This post is truly amazing. How did it almost match her thoughts at the time? It even accurately guessed the time of her confession. But where did all these photos, videos, and fanfiction come from?

This was, of course, written by the number one CP fan, Group Admin Liang Hao. She had waited a year for this day.

Today, my Sister Liang is going to give a massive perk!

Xu Qingfeng looked at the fanfiction and videos.

“Hmm, that’s right, I’m the fierce Gong (dominant one).”

“Oh dear, this part is just… unwatchable.”

Xu Qingfeng pretended to cover her eyes, then secretly peeked through a crack.

What’s wrong with looking?

She became engrossed, sighing, “There really are a lot of talented people at Weicheng No. 1 High School!”

Write more, I love reading it!

When Gao Zhi asked again if it was true, Xu Qingfeng looked at the popping chat box, reluctantly closing the forum.

She suppressed her almost-curling lips and, sharing the same thought as Xia Yiqiu, replied righteously, “How can you believe these things? Don’t worry, Yiqiu and I are definitely not actually dating. Don’t spread rumors.”

Yes, she was still in the evaluation period and hadn’t been fully accepted yet, so she was definitely “not actually dating.”

Gao Zhi deeply believed her childhood friend’s words. She knew it. How could Xu Qingfeng, that bookworm who was ignorant of romance, be involved in puppy love?

“This is a problem. Later on, I still need to properly educate my childhood friend about romance, or what will she do if she ends up old and lonely?”
