The School Beauty from the Next Class Insisted I Confess - Chapter 65

Thousands of students attended Hua University, and there was no shortage of clever people, but when it came to the campus beauties, there were two universally recognized: Xu Qingfeng from the Literature Department and Xia Yiqiu from the Physics Department.

If you asked who was more popular, it would be hard to say, but if you asked who received the most confessions, it would definitely be Xia Yiqiu.

Most people who saw Xu Qingfeng’s “do not approach” demeanor wouldn’t dare strike up a conversation. But the bright and kind Senior Xia was different; her light shone on everyone who admired her from afar.

“Hurry up! Le Xiu!” a girl pushed her best friend.

“I’m still a little nervous,” Le Xiu said, looking at Senior Xia waiting in the pavilion ahead. She tightly clutched the gift in her hands. A chance like this, to find Xia Yiqiu alone, was rare.

Xia Yiqiu had moved out of the dorms since sophomore year, reportedly living close to the school, and she was almost always with someone when on campus.

“Nervous about what? I heard Senior Xia is very gentle even when she rejects people. She’s graduating soon, so if you don’t confess now, you’ll lose your chance! Besides, do you really think she’ll accept?”

The girl’s best friend complained about her. Since university, Senior Xia had never dated anyone besides spending time with her high school friend, Senior Xu. It would be best for Le Xiu to fail quickly; otherwise, her constant talk of “Senior Xia, Senior Xia” was getting on her nerves. It was better to get over it.

“Yu Lingbo, so that’s what you think,” Le Xiu said, realizing why her best friend was uncharacteristically supportive.

“Nonsense! She has Senior Xu, who is like jade and a celestial being, by her side. If she liked girls, it wouldn’t be your turn! It’s just a mystery who Senior Xia actually likes since they haven’t gotten together after nearly four years,” Yu Lingbo continued to chatter.

During the break before university started, Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu unexpectedly discovered Liang Hao’s two-year-old fan club group. Feeling helpless, they reflected on themselves.

They concluded that they might have been too high-profile.

They decided that to prevent their university life from being constantly monitored, they would never publicize their relationship during college. If asked, they would stick to the same line: they had someone they liked, but they weren’t together yet.

The effect was noticeable. After nearly four years, no one had guessed that the two “best friends” were a couple. Even those who guessed gave up their suspicions after a year or two.

What kind of good people have a two-way secret crush for four years and still haven’t gotten together? What kind of good people wouldn’t give their partner a title after they started dating?

Forget about the issue of homosexuality. Hua University’s atmosphere was open and liberal, advocating freedom. In the face of absolute capability, all beings were equal, so they wouldn’t have such reservations.

Xu Qingfeng and Xia Yiqiu were, without a doubt, good best friends.

Best friends—it was perfectly normal to hold hands and kiss occasionally.

“Hmph, how can you defame me like that? Are we still friends? I’m quite good myself.”

Le Xiu looked herself over from head to toe. Hmm, maybe she was just a tiny bit less than Senior Xu.

“Alright, hurry up! Any later and we’ll miss the malatang at the canteen! You know how packed that window gets.”

Yu Lingbo shoved her forward. She was so annoying, a total dilly-dally.

Xia Yiqiu sat in the pavilion, waiting for Xu Qingfeng. That person really did pursue a double degree in History as she’d said. It was bad enough that her usual classes were numerous, but approaching graduation, she had two graduation theses and two sets of affairs to deal with. Luckily, Xu Qingfeng had submitted the final drafts today. After the graduation photos in a few days, she could finally rest for a bit.

So, Xia Yiqiu was waiting for her, watching the two people shoving each other not far away. She understood immediately. As graduation neared, more and more people came to confess to her. She wondered if it would have been better to just go public.

Hurry up, get it over with, don’t let Xu the Dummy see.

When that woman got jealous, she was the one who suffered.

“Senior, I’m Le Xiu, a sophomore in the Chinese Department. This is for you. I wish you a happy graduation.” Le Xiu dropped the gift and ran. She was still a little scared and quickly grabbed Yu Lingbo’s hand and fled.

“I told you, why didn’t you say anything? Why are you running so fast?” Yu Lingbo asked, confused, as she was dragged away rapidly.

“To eat malatang.”

The moment Le Xiu gave the gift, she realized that what she felt for Senior Xia was purely admiration. The gift was given, so she had no regrets. It was better to save time and go eat with Yu Lingbo.

Oops, Le Xiu paused. She forgot to take out the love letter. Yu Lingbo had helped her write a love letter last night and stuffed it into the gift. Although she didn’t know the content, Yu Lingbo’s “guarantee you’ll be satisfied” expression made her uneasy. But she truly couldn’t bring herself to write one.

Thinking about it now, she probably subconsciously knew she didn’t actually like Senior Xia.

Forget it, so many people confess; the Senior probably won’t look too closely.

Xia Yiqiu held the gift and wanted to call out to the junior, but the person was already gone. Then she saw the sulking Xu Qingfeng not far away.

The person walked up and immediately took her hand.

Xu Qingfeng felt that her initial suggestion to hide their relationship was like shooting herself in the foot. For four years, people had been confessing to Xia Yiqiu endlessly, and recently it had gotten worse. Thankfully, they were graduating soon.

“Oh, Miss Xia’s charm hasn’t faded. This is the twenty-fifth this month, right? This one even gave a gift,” Xu Qingfeng’s words were sour with jealousy.

“Xu the Dummy, you’re so old, and you’re still getting jealous,” Xia Yiqiu kissed Xu Qingfeng’s cheek.

“She dropped the gift and ran, saying ‘Happy Graduation.’ Stop getting jealous for no reason, okay? Maybe she’s just offering a simple blessing. Is that better?” Usually, a few kisses were enough to coax Xu Qingfeng.

“Hmph.” Xu Qingfeng reluctantly accepted it.

“Let’s go. What do you want to eat today?” Xu Qingfeng asked Xia Yiqiu. Since they moved out, she was responsible for Miss Xia’s meals.

“I want braised pork ribs and beef brisket with tomatoes,” Xia Yiqiu answered.

“Let’s go, home!” Their fridge had those ingredients.

In the apartment, Xia Yiqiu sat in a chair, waiting for Xu Qingfeng to bring the food to the table. She had already set the bowls and chopsticks and served the rice.

Looking at the side profile of the person cooking so earnestly, Xia Yiqiu smiled.

Over there, Xu Qingfeng scooped a spoonful of the beef brisket and tomato soup, planning to taste it for saltiness.

A pair of hands wrapped around her waist. Xia Yiqiu hugged her from behind, leaning her face against her neck.

“I want a taste.” Xia Yiqiu let out an awoo and swallowed the spoonful.

Xu Qingfeng’s eyes widened. She swallowed the saliva in her mouth.

“I want a taste too.”

Your saltiness.

“Mm, I’m hungry, Xu Qingfeng! Hurry and let go, later!” Xia Yiqiu was truly hungry.

“I’m hungry too.” Xu Qingfeng’s “hunger” was not false; the Xia Yiqiu in front of her was too enticing.

And so, they went from kissing in the kitchen to the sofa, and then from the sofa, straddling, to the bed in the bedroom.

An hour later, a satisfied Xu Qingfeng carried a powerless Xia Yiqiu to the dining room, placed her on her lap, and fed her spoon by spoon.

The beef brisket had been stewed for an extra hour. Because of the ample liquid, it hadn’t burned on the bottom, making it even more tender and soft.

“Xu the Dummy, once I’m full, you’re finished,” Xia Yiqiu had no energy to quarrel with Xu Qingfeng’s bad deeds right now. She couldn’t do anything to the other person until she recovered her strength. It was only when her stomach growled that Xu Qingfeng had finally let her go.

Thinking of this, she felt both shy and angry. Xu the Dummy never restrained herself. Who did such indecent things in broad daylight?

Frivolous, inappropriate. Yet others believed her to be cold and aloof. Come to think of it, she, too, had been fooled initially.

This dummy is so repressed.

When Xu Qingfeng offered another spoon, a frustrated Xia Yiqiu fiercely bit her fingertip.

The kitten’s scratch didn’t hurt at all; it was more like a playful cuddle.

“Yiqiu, it seems you’re not hungry anymore, you have so much strength.” Xu Qingfeng smirked and whispered the words near Xia Yiqiu’s ear.

“Don’t even think about it! I’m still hungry! Let me go!” Xia Yiqiu struggled to get down.

Seeing Xia Yiqiu full of energy, Xu Qingfeng let her down. She was quite drained herself and needed to replenish her energy.

It had to be said that Xu Qingfeng’s cooking was much to Xia Yiqiu’s liking. Although the rice had been sitting for an hour, it was summer, and the hot broth of the beef brisket with tomatoes balanced the temperature perfectly.

Then there were the braised pork ribs, bright and appetizing, tempting people to grab their chopsticks immediately. Taking a bite, the flavor lingered on her palate.

While Xia Yiqiu was still eating, Xu Qingfeng had already finished. She tidied up things around the house and noticed the gift from Le Xiu. She was a little curious.

“Yiqiu, can I open your gift?” Xu Qingfeng asked Xia Yiqiu at the dining table.

“Mm, go ahead and look,” Xia Yiqiu, focused on her delicious meal, didn’t think twice and casually agreed.

Xu Qingfeng unwrapped the gift. Inside was a delicate ceramic doll holding the four characters: “Happy Graduation.”

It looks like it really wasn’t a confession.

Xu Qingfeng felt a little relieved, but then she saw an envelope underneath.

Seeing the pink envelope with a heart on it, Xu Qingfeng knew it wasn’t simple. She tore it open and instantly became unhappy.

So greasy, so annoying, so infuriating.

What did “You are my only one” mean? What did “Love you for ten thousand years” mean? Yu Lingbo had put her Chinese major skills to use, writing an extremely cheesy, yet utterly repulsive, love letter.

Of course, the only one repulsed was Xu Qingfeng.

Just as she finished reading the letter, Xia Yiqiu had finished eating, tidied up the dishes, and was lying on the sofa to rest.

Xu Qingfeng walked over and showed her the love letter.

See? This is naked proof!

“Wifey, didn’t you say it was just a simple blessing? You lied to me, oh, I’m so sad. I need compensation, or you’ll have to be punished.”

Xia Yiqiu quickly gave her a kiss. “Good girl, here’s your reward. Let me read it first.”

Let’s see if there’s any room for a forced explanation.

Xia Yiqiu read the first paragraph and knew it was bad. Xu the Vinegar-Jar was plotting something big; no wonder she was showing it to her.

Sure enough, the person whispered in her ear.

“Miss Xia, are you finished reading? I think you didn’t eat enough just now. I’m hungry again.” It was the voice of a demon. Thinking of Xu Qingfeng’s past track record, Xia Yiqiu’s legs went weak.

“Xu Qingfeng, don’t push your luck!” Xia Yiqiu could only throw out a threatening phrase, then she was picked up horizontally.

“I just ate until I was full!” Xia Yiqiu continued to struggle.

“Perfect, time for some exercise to digest.” Xu Qingfeng placed Xia Yiqiu back on the bed and leaned over, mischief in her eyes and at the person’s shoulder.

When they finally stopped, it was late at night.

“I’m hungry, truly hungry. Go make some food.” Xia Yiqiu’s temper was completely gone. She was seriously hungry. Every time she said she was hungry, Xu Qingfeng would say, “Wifey, I’ll feed you right now.”

Heh, if only I had the energy to move, I’d really like to kick this person out of bed.

Fortunately, Xu Qingfeng was no longer the type to be insatiable and unaware of satiety after tasting the forbidden fruit.

She was very full today.

Looking at the scattered flower-like marks she had left on Xia Yiqiu’s body, so vibrant and alluring, she replied contentedly:

“Understood, Miss. Your humble servant will go cook now.”
