Chapter 5, Who is the Number One Boss

At this thought, I dejectedly lowered my head

However, in my dazed state, when I heard Xiaoduo say that she was going back to school, I merely waved my hand mechanically, displaying an expression that I myself could not discern whether it was a smile or a cry

Because I realized that the leader I had been searching for was Tengxi Su, after returning to the classroom, I awkwardly avoided Tengxi Su everywhere, completely ignoring his puzzled glances directed at me multiple times

Go away

No, it's not possible! Before I clarify my thoughts, I have no idea how to face Tengxi Inn!

"You are awake." A glimmer of starlight flashed in Tengxi's eyes, and a hoarse voice revealed a hint of concern.

Teng Xishu glanced at me without any expression and said: "As the first senior, it is necessary to maintain the order of the academy, so we must stand at the school gate to prevent non-academy members from entering, even if they come to confess their feelings"

Hello, who are you looking for? I asked, holding the receiver.

I gazed at them with curiosity, and an unusual feeling arose, which was quite uncomfortable

I absentmindedly counted the grains of rice in the bowl, casually shoveling in a couple of bites that tasted as bland as chewing wax

Moreover, your action looks... quite foolish!

When did he stand behind me? There was no sound at all

Wow! I did not expect that so many boys at Xichen Academy would be favored by girls from other schools, it is truly surprising

Yes, it must be because of this

They held beautifully wrapped gifts in their hands, dressed in lovely and sweetly colored dresses, with pink bubbles sparkling in their eyes and expressions full of anticipation

Oh—" After I finished listening, I elongated the final sound and smiled at them with a meaningful curve of my lips

What a strange fellow

Dear Yiyi, I have found out who the mastermind is that caused you to lose the match! Please reply quickly upon receiving this message

Hehe, no wonder they pay so much attention to their appearance; it turns out it is to be accepted when confessing their feelings

In order to alleviate his worries, I nodded emphatically once again and even shifted my body slightly to indicate that I was truly fine now

Oh my! How terrifying

Just kidding! How could I possibly have someone I like

Ah! It's nothing, I can stand firm on my own. I glanced gratefully at Fujinishi Yado, hurriedly breaking free from his hand that was supporting me.

Do you have school today

Just as I was lost in thought, the phone at home rang wildly, and I hurriedly jogged to answer it

Just as I was feeling frustrated listening to my brothers' incessant chatter, my phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated

Xiao Duo chuckled softly, yet she insisted, "Hmph, then I will reluctantly accept your apology!"

Moreover, now that I know he is the "boss," what should I do

Oh? What happened? How could it have disappeared?

Alright! I reluctantly handed my backpack to Tengxi and walked out of the classroom, taking small steps and looking back three times.

Quickly tell me, he is ... ...

I anxiously tinkered with my phone for a long time, yet I still could not bring it back to life. It seems I can only send the phone for repair first, and then personally go to Xiaoduo to inquire clearly.

Tengxi frowned and asked, "Why are you so agitated?"

What will the confession day be like? Hurry up and come tomorrow

In an instant, dark clouds gathered, and thunder and lightning erupted

At that time, Teng Xijiu wanted to give durians to Lijia Jia. Did he like Lijia Jia?

I cast a guilty glance at my brothers, resolutely deciding not to tell them that I was just thinking about Tengxi Inn. Besides, I definitely wouldn't fall for that guy who caused me to lose the match!

I seemed to see a blurred face, with wet strands of hair sticking to his cheeks, and in his black pupils, there was an unmistakable sense of worry

I wanted to cry out for help once more, but I found that my throat felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a powerful hand, rendering me unable to breathe and completely voiceless

Perhaps ... ... that is a confession letter

I turned my gaze towards the sound and indeed saw Xiao Duo waving her hand in the crowd, her face beaming with a bright smile

Wuwu, who made him the number one boss

"Shut up!" Tengxi's low voice interrupted them, revealing a tone of impatience.

I suddenly looked up and saw the math teacher staring at me with great displeasure

Cough cough cough! I was chewing on some greens, and before I had the chance to swallow, I was startled by what my brothers said and ended up choking.

Uh, you just mentioned maintaining order, what exactly needs to be maintained

I shook my head, entangled and unsure of what to do

Hehe, that's good! Only such a well-behaved person wouldn't casually like other boys! Second Brother continued to eat with a smile on his face

As we approached the school gate, two rows of boys in uniforms respectfully bowed to me and Fujinishi, politely calling out "Senior No. 1" and voluntarily made way for a path wide enough for two people, allowing Fujinishi and me to walk out.

I nodded slightly and slowly closed my eyelids

However, the focused and worried gaze that Tengxi Su cast upon me just now unconsciously replayed in my mind, as if there was something in those deep, black eyes that was drawing me in

Xiao Duo's face resembled a red apple, and her eyes, like Bambi's, were filled with reproach: "Isn't it because you haven't replied to my messages! I specifically came to tell you who that boss is!"

Tengxi glanced at my desk, turned his head somewhat awkwardly, as if he had not heard my question, and continued to flip through the book in his hands

Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Others are just coming to confess their feelings. If we maintain order, wouldn't that stifle others' courage to express their love?

Hmm, that person is nearby! Look! It's him!" Xiao Duo extended her fair hand and pointed at a certain individual

Today, they not only wore new ties, but their uniforms were also exceptionally clean, and their neatly styled hair displayed an unprecedented spirit of vigor

The sound of the heartbeat is exceptionally clear

As the school gate was just opened, the increasingly louder shouts conveyed the enthusiasm of the girls.

The situation became somewhat uncontrollable. Thinking of my responsibilities, I immediately threw myself forward, extending my arms in an attempt to block their advance

Indeed, I am now the foremost senior, and I should set an example. Moreover, I can return to review those letters.

He actually went to make me some milk

By the time I withdrew my sympathetic gaze, I found that Tengxi had already taken the lead and walked towards the school gate.

A few boys, upon seeing this, felt embarrassed and blushed.

I have not stepped outside for three days, and I feel like I'm about to mold!

"Could it be that Second Brother has guessed it?" Second Brother exclaimed in disbelief

I do not know how long it has been, but I opened my eyes once again and glanced at the wall clock; it was already 5 PM.

I looked at these nearly frenzied girls, my heart filled with trepidation as I took a few deep breaths, and then suddenly turned my head away.

Uh, why does he seem like he has swallowed several tons of explosives? I certainly haven't done anything to upset him today

Is everything alright? " A tense voice from Tengxi Su echoed in my ears

The familiar white ceiling made me realize that I had come to the infirmary for the third time

I smiled like a little fox and said, "Alright! I'm going back to the classroom now! I wish you all receive confessions tomorrow!"

Tengxi Inn did not respond to me verbally, but merely cast a glance at me with those eyes as dark as pitch, which could be taken as an acknowledgment of my conjecture

I stayed because I wanted to rest by myself. " Fujinishi turned his face away awkwardly, " Alright, you are awake now. I have already informed your family, and they said they would come over soon. I have some matters to attend to now... uh, I will take my leave first.

I looked at the somewhat awkward Tengxi dormitory, holding a cup and chuckling foolishly.

Are you looking forward to it? Unexpectedly, Tengxi casually dropped a sentence, then snorted coldly and walked away, leaving me in a state of confusion.

"Are you okay? I just saw you fall, but I couldn't get through. I was so worried!" A familiar figure suddenly lunged in front of me and gave me an unexpected hug

Tengxi Inn softly uttered an "mm"

However

I displayed an expression of guilt, shaking Xiaoduo's hand and saying in a conciliatory tone: "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Thus, I shifted my body slightly, hoping to change my position and relax my somewhat stiff body

Who is she? She looks familiar, I feel like I have seen her somewhere before

Where is this girl from? What qualifications does she have to have my prince support her

Xiao Duo nodded: "That's right, it's that boy with chestnut hair! He was the one who took you to the hospital last time. A few days ago, I accidentally came across a magazine about Xichen Academy and recognized him. I heard he is the top leader at Xichen Academy!"

Um... just as she was about to say something at the Tengxi Inn, the surrounding girls began to scream even more excitedly

I did not expect that my movement would produce a slight sound, and in an instant, the sleeping Tengxi opened his beautiful black eyes. He furrowed his brows in confusion for a few seconds, then turned to look at me.

Perhaps it is because I saw the two of them that I recalled the unhappy experience of that day They are one the "enemy" who caused me to lose the match and the other the girl whom the "enemy" likes

I retracted my foot and immediately stood still, afraid to move

I was flustered, saying "Don't push" while enduring the pain in my feet, trying to prevent myself from revealing a grimace of agony.

And I, with no experience, could only recklessly rush to the front, using my flesh and blood to block the continuous onslaught of affection.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had secretly left the classroom without telling Tengxi, but later he saved me, which means he must have known that I went to find Ying Xuexiang

As I slowly turned my head, the first thing I saw was Tongxi Su, who had fallen asleep leaning against the edge of the bed

Ah?

I looked up and realized that my elder brother and second brother had arrived

I hurriedly focused my attention on the class, trying my best not to think about the matters concerning Tengxi Dormitory

I am not sure if it is my illusion, but when I turned back, it seemed that Tengxi had a hint of a triumphant smile, as if a conspiracy had succeeded.

His presence makes me feel so warm and secure

Oh my! He is actually supporting a girl

On that day, I got up early from bed, quietly completed my morning routine, quickly replied to the messages from Tengxi Hostel using my newly repaired phone, and immediately slipped out with my backpack, then excitedly headed towards Tengxi Hostel.

Tengxi Inn seemed to be oblivious to my mournful gaze, as it independently directed Senze and the others to split up and take their positions.

I suddenly widened my eyes, curiously gazing at those letters, and suddenly recalled the events of the beginning of the school term

"By the way, I just heard that tomorrow is Confession Day." I quickly changed the subject, excited to discuss this topic with him; he should be interested, right?

Ah? So foolish

Just as I was struggling to resist with all my might, a familiar gentle voice reached my ears through the noisy declarations of love

Seeing their excited expressions, I couldn't help but feel curious as well. I approached them with a face full of excitement and asked, "Confession Day? What is Confession Day?"

Then I felt a cool hand supporting my waist from behind, I surfaced, a bright light flashed before my eyes, fresh air rushed into my nostrils, and then a strong arm slowly swam me towards the shore.

Before falling asleep, I seemed to faintly hear a gentle sigh by my ear: "If you don't watch carefully, you will get hurt. How can one be so fragile?"

The surface of the pool splashed up a large spray of water again, and someone, like a swift fish, jumped down first, moving quickly towards me.

Before falling into a coma, I tilted my head and vaguely saw Ying Xuexiang standing beside me, seemingly gazing at me with a hint of guilt in his eyes

... ...

Please accept my confession

I gazed at the handsome figure of Tengxi, my mouth agape, a joyful smile frozen on my face, as my previously excited emotions were instantly doused as if by a bucket of cold water

Finally, the school bell rang in my ears, which means I am going home with Tengxi.

Upon hearing this, I immediately turned my head and glared fiercely at Fujinishi Suku.

I slightly opened my eyes, forcing myself to stay awake. A familiar face flashed before me, but I could not see it clearly.

I instantly felt tears welling up and obediently lowered my hands, as I did not want to be seen as a foolish girl

I finally understand what was different about the boys I saw earlier

Hmm! Alright! Then we will meet at the school gate tomorrow morning!" I responded repeatedly, thinking that Xiaoduo probably wanted to discuss the matter of Tengxi Dormitory with me.

In order to avoid encountering the Tengxi dormitory, I ran to the small garden of the college with my backpack and counted many green leaves. After estimating that the Tengxi dormitory had already left, I leisurely strolled towards the main entrance.

In a state of sleep, he was completely unguarded, revealing a profile that was perfect to the extreme

I quickly lowered my head and took a sip of milk, mumbling once again: "Thank you"

Ah! I remember now! Isn't she the one who won the karate championship back then, Lijia Jia? My heart sank in an instant, as if a certain mechanism had been triggered, and the memories from that time were suddenly unlocked

Upon seeing me lying in bed, Elder Brother and Second Brother became extremely anxious and started shouting loudly. It was only after I repeatedly assured them that I was fine that they finally felt relieved

Wow, could these really be love letters expressing one's feelings?

Little Duo! Although I find it quite strange, I decided to squeeze in beside Little Duo without a second thought, completely forgetting how crazy these girls who want to confess their feelings can be

The frown on Tengxi's forehead finally relaxed; he stood up and walked out. After a while, he returned with a cup of milk in his hand

Wuwuwu! Will I just die like this

Be more careful in the future, and don't act recklessly!" Tengxi looked at me with a smile, furrowing his brow as he said this earnestly

Up

Thinking of this, I felt a surge of guilt, and thus I shyly said in a low voice: "Well, I was looking for him because I needed to help someone deliver a box to Sakura Yukihira."

Just as I was lost in thought, the door of the infirmary was pushed open with a loud "bang".

What exactly should I do

But what does it have to do with me that Tengxi Inn likes Lijia? Why do I feel uncomfortable unconsciously whenever I think of this possibility?

Three days later

I should quickly complete the inspection work first

Ding Ling Ling

Ah! I let out a scream and then fell down with a "bang". It hurts so much!

I pouted and made a big grimace at the back of Tengxi's dormitory—I'm not going to stoop to your level.

Whew, I can't catch my breath! You little brat!

It is quite strange that he actually likes to rest in the infirmary

This cannot continue!

... ...

"Class, do not daydream!" The stern voice of criticism came from the podium

No! I still have many things to do! Dad, Mom, and my brothers would be very, very sad!

I stared foolishly at Tengxi Inn, momentarily stunned

Since you transferred schools, there have been continuous incidents, so it would be better to take a few more days off

The girl who admired Tengxi suddenly became extremely frantic, pushing and shoving vigorously as she tried to squeeze her way to the front

Others confessing their feelings is not acceptable

Before I had the chance to say anything, Tengxi had already walked away briskly, and I inadvertently caught a glimpse of his slightly flushed ears

Before I could finish writing, the phone screen suddenly flickered a few times and then became dim. The next moment, when I saw a few drops of water at the bottom of the phone, my excited heart instantly sank to the bottom.

As usual, I conducted a thorough inspection of the teaching building, and there were no troublesome incidents along the way

I called out with great excitement: "Tengxi Dormitory!"

After returning home from the infirmary, my brothers, citing concern for my health, helped me request a week's sick leave from the class teacher

As the door of memories opened, an indescribable feeling slowly spread within my heart, and the sensation of suffocation compelled me to cover my chest with my hand

Confession Day

Let us go in! Let us go in!

Boss, I have already mentioned that hiding in the tree is dangerous, yet you insist that the surprise created this way will surely make Lijia feel very romantic. Also, Boss, does Jiajia really like to eat durian

For several consecutive days, right at the time school was dismissed, I would steal a glance at Tengxi, who was packing his bag, my eyes darting around, and then—sprinting away without a trace!

I gazed in the direction pointed out by Xiaoduo, my eyes widening in disbelief

Does this not indicate that I have gradually integrated into this place and unconsciously come to regard myself as one of them

I nodded and smiled: "Yes, I am awake, thank you!"

I bit my lip, struggling to speculate...

"What’s wrong with you?" Xiao Duo asked with concern, noticing that something was off with me

What was even more terrifying was that this group of girls did not stop their forward momentum at all because of my fall. I was on the verge of being trampled into "meat sauce" when a strong hand pushed aside several girls in front of me and quickly pulled me up.

I stared blankly at Tengxi Inn, a sudden chill creeping up my heart, an inexplicable sense of suffocation enveloping me

It seemed as if a dark mass floated above my head

Senior Tengxi has come out

Only a trace of displeasure quickly flashed and then disappeared in Teng Xi's eyes, and then he said with an unperturbed expression: "It is time for the patrol."

Xiao Duo's voice came over: "It's me! Yi Yi, let's meet tomorrow morning! I have so much to talk to you about!"

He is actually the "enemy" I have been searching for all along

"Tengxi Inn, have you seen those letters on my desk?" I searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the letters, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Tengxi Inn.

Tengxi Inn, that is the boss!

I do not know how long has passed, but I have reopened my eyes.

I took the cup in a daze and secretly glanced at the seemingly calm Teng Xisu, a warm current slowly flowed into my heart, like a hot spring gently coursing through my body, warming me completely

Thud! Thud!

What festival is that? Could it be a day for mutual confessions of love?

Is it really nothing? Tengxi's eyes revealed doubt, his brows furrowed as he quietly scrutinized me once more, and then he asked again

Someone nearby asked: "Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something?"

The feeling of suffocation has finally disappeared

"Indeed, Yi Yi, why do you seem a bit distracted?" Second Brother also leaned over, frowning as he inquired.

Faintly, a few phrases could be heard by the ear

Woe is me, how could this be!

Of course! I smiled broadly, revealing my neat teeth, trying to persuade my brothers to believe what I said

Yet a strange feeling arose within my heart

He is sitting next to me, so he should know, right

"Tsk tsk, it seems that Xisu's fans this year are even more numerous than last year!" Senze said with a smile, stroking his chin as he pointed at the girl who was confessing her feelings.

He is the one who likes Li Jiajia, the person who caused me to lose the competition

I pouted my lips and, filled with indignation yet unable to voice it, stole another glance at Tengxi's dormitory.

Having said that, I teasingly glanced at their flushed faces and skipped back to the classroom

At the moment I was trying to push my way out, a rather plump girl suddenly lunged forward and collided with my shoulder, causing me to lose my balance and fall backward in an instant

This sound

About half an hour later, we arrived at the classroom as usual. As soon as I entered, I keenly noticed several heart-shaped envelopes placed on my desk

Oh? No way, he has actually been watching over me all this time

I quickly searched my memory, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck

I clasp my hands together in prayer

I strive to open my eyes, yet I find myself powerless to do so

I blinked my eyes, and after confirming that I had not seen it incorrectly, I immediately replied eagerly

"What’s wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" The concerned voice of my elder brother echoed in my ears

I really love you

Little Flower

Hehe, it seems so!" Su Mo replied calmly, smiling gently.

One of the boys, seeing my puzzled expression, suddenly realized and said: "Senior First has just arrived at the academy, no wonder you don't know. Tomorrow is the academy's designated confession day, when girls from other academies can confess to the boys from our academy"

I do not know if it is because I have just woken up and have not fully recovered, but I am once again overwhelmed by drowsiness

Uh? Is it my illusion?

He hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to jump down...

I forced myself to muster a smile, quietly bypassing those two conspicuous figures, and sprinted towards home under the glow of the orange sunset

No wonder the boys in the academy all have a refreshing feeling

No, it's nothing! I quickly lowered my head, anxiously concealing the pain in my heart, unsure of how to explain all of this to my friend

What? Did Xiaoduo find out who that boss is?

I clenched my fist and nodded affirmatively

"It's nothing, it's nothing! Xiaoduo! How did you end up here?" Surprise flickered in my eyes, but I couldn't help but show a happy smile on my face

I quickly shook my head and said, "No, no!" Haha, I must be too happy because of "seeing the light of day" again! I automatically ignored the strange emotions deep within me

Wuwu, wait for me! I hurriedly called out softly while stepping forward to catch up.

The scene suddenly became somewhat chaotic, and I was pushed out by several girls, while Tengxi was surrounded in the middle by a large group of girls confessing their feelings.

It was not until I inadvertently glanced into the classroom through the window that I was taken aback to see a boy with medium-length hair grooming his eyebrows in front of a mirror, which led me to a sudden realization

Tengxi Inn

Take a good rest

I opened my mouth, intending to wake up Tengxi Su, but when I saw his slightly trembling eyelashes, I couldn't help but swallow the words that were on the tip of my tongue. Perhaps it is better not to wake him up just yet

Hurry and open the door! Today is the day of confession!

Ding ding ding! As soon as I heard the class dismissal bell, I quickly organized my backpack and, taking advantage of the moment when the teacher was not paying attention, swiftly escaped from the classroom

However, just when I thought everything was foolproof and was about to step out of the academy's door, I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a figure that should have already departed out of the corner of my eye

Ah! It is Senior Tengxi Inn!

What surprised me even more was that when Tengxi appeared in front of these girls, the excited screams became even more frenzied

I looked at Tengxi's serious expression, playfully stuck out my tongue, and quickly nodded before he could lose his temper

Oh, I am so worried about being surrounded in Tengxi Lodge!

Suddenly, I feel that they are so pitiful

I pouted my lips

"I will help you put your backpack away, but you must remember your current identity." As if seeing through my thoughts, Tengxi took my backpack and gently said without allowing any resistance

Hmm! Tengxi glanced at me and said, "I felt something was off with you this morning, so I followed you." After saying this, an unusual expression rarely appeared on his face.

Heavens, could it be that unfortunate? If there is to be a "strike," it should wait until I know the answer!

Wow! What a lively scene! It is simply comparable to a celebrity meet-and-greet

In an instant, a multitude of pink bubbles floated through my mind, and a romantic feeling immediately enveloped me.

I looked at my worried brothers and quickly shook my head, saying, "It's nothing! Hehe!" As I spoke, I somewhat guiltily hurriedly stuffed a few pieces of vegetables into my mouth

I do not know why, but I just want to explain clearly to Tengxi and do not want him to misunderstand

Oh? Standing a few meters away, besides Tengxi Inn, there is another striking figure, and the two are conversing face to face

Several rows of boys are firmly blocking the school gate to prevent the girls from rushing over

How annoying! He must have anticipated this situation, yet he did not inform me

That's great! You finally know who that boss is, aren't you so excited that you can't speak?" Xiaoduo said with a beaming smile, pulling my hand and chattering on.

Hey, what are you doing? The letter is mine! I turned my head in dissatisfaction and shouted loudly at the owner of the arm, only to see that the person was actually—Tengxi Su!

My heart feels as if it has been torn open, and the cold wind is rushing in, so cold, so uncomfortable

I could no longer concentrate on what Xiaoduo was saying, and in a daze, I finally managed to endure until it was almost time for class, while the girls who had confessed their feelings gradually left.

Who is ... ... ?

However, since entering Xichen Academy, he has been the person who has helped me the most

As soon as I returned home, my brothers called out that it was time for dinner. I responded and then took a seat at the dining table

In an instant, a sense of inexplicable pride filled my heart

I looked up at the wall clock, and the hands were precisely pointing to the inspection time

I took out my phone and saw a message from my close friend Xiaoduo

Tengxi Inn finally felt satisfied and slightly relaxed her brows

"Is that true?" the elder brother asked with a serious expression

On the day of the competition, that boss secretly intended to send durian to Lijiajia. Unfortunately, not only was I pinned down by his "little brother," but I was also knocked unconscious by the durian in the little brother's hand. In the end, I had no chance to participate in the finals

"What? Do you have someone you like?" Upon hearing Er Ge's words, Da Ge immediately widened his eyes and looked at me nervously

I stood within the academy, astonished by all that I saw, and then stammered to the person standing next to me, Fujinishi, asking: "How extravagant! Are all of these declarations meant for the boys of our academy?"

Uh, does Yi Yi have someone she likes?" Second Brother asked tentatively in a low voice from the side

Hey! Don't sleep! Don't sleep! Someone is gently tapping my face, trying to wake me up

The girl was seen wearing an elegant and exquisite princess-style puff skirt, with her silky smooth black hair cascading down. Her bright eyes sparkled with liveliness, and her rosy lips moved as she spoke to Tengxi, with a slight upward curve at the corners of her mouth revealing a hint of confidence. The entire person exuded a natural noble aura.

That's wonderful! It seems that I have finally received my first love letter in my life!

However, that being said, although I do not have anyone I wish to confess my feelings to, I still feel a sense of anticipation for the day of confession.

So familiar, so familiar! Where have I seen this before?

Oh? How did Xiaoduo end up here

I excitedly took Xiaoduo's hand and indeed saw a sweet face adorned with dimples

Ah! I just slapped my forehead, because of the matter regarding confession day, I completely forgot about it!

I was taken aback; was I just feeling proud of the boys from Xichen Academy being well-received

However, just when I returned to the classroom with great excitement, I found the desk completely empty, with no trace of any pink heart-shaped letters.

Yet a voice keeps echoing in my mind: "Tengxi Inn is that boss! That boss is Tengxi Inn..."

"Senior, may you have a joyful Confession Day tomorrow!" several boys suddenly exclaimed to me.

I struggled to open my eyes and saw Ying Xuexiang rushing over, his delicate face displaying panic and anxiety

How strange, when I first saw him just now, I actually felt a bit nostalgic for his expressionless face

In an instant, the feeling of having learned the truth yet being rendered at a loss by it filled my heart

The icy pool water engulfed me completely, submerging over my head, and the feeling of suffocation grew increasingly intense. I surfaced again with the undulation of the water.

Just as I approached my seat and was about to reach out to pick up a letter to read, an arm extended to stop my next move

"Where is it? There is none!" I shook my head vigorously, adamantly denying it.

"You should sleep now." As if sensing my drowsy state, Tengxi Shuku leaned down to help me lie on the bed, tucking in the blanket, and said in a calm yet considerate manner.

I opened my mouth, wanting to continue asking, but the expression on Tengxi's face emanated a subtle gloom, and his narrowed eyes conveyed a message: if you ask again, you will be doomed

"What are you standing there for? We should maintain order at the school gate." Just as I was emotionally clenching my fist to my chest, a magnetic voice from Fujinishi suddenly came from above.

The next day, the day of confession arrived as scheduled, and at the entrance of Xichen Academy, a large crowd of girls was densely packed.

Suddenly, the previous few pink heart-shaped letters surged into my mind

Thud

I was just about to make a move when unexpectedly, I was severely criticized by my elder brother and second brother

Quickly tell me who that boss is!" As soon as I received forgiveness, I immediately said excitedly, blinking my eyes.

I, who have been constantly shouting for revenge, unexpectedly became friends with the 'enemy'. How can I accept this fact?
