The Next Day
"Ring ring~"
Su Cheng slowly crawled out of bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He instinctively walked towards the bathroom, passing through the living room where he glanced at the digital clock on the wall.
Thursday, 7:00 AM.
Brushing teeth, washing face, putting on the school uniform, then adjusting his hair and collar. He took bread and milk from the refrigerator, picked up his schoolbag, and headed towards the bus stop.
Today his confession count had already been reset, so on the way he pondered who he should confess to next while eating. Or should he go to the club in the afternoon to find that S-level girl called Gu Ruoxue?
As he was deep in thought, a black private car slowly pulled up beside him, and the window rolled down.
A face like a porcelain doll appeared in his view.
"Hey, um..." Her voice was as crisp as an oriole's, and she had a look of difficulty speaking.
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment. He looked up and surveyed this beautiful girl - petite figure, golden twin tails, wearing the same school uniform, snow-white skin, sweet features, especially a pair of big sapphire eyes that seemed to speak, giving a very cute and adorable impression. Only her dark eye circles were a bit heavy, clearly showing she hadn't slept well last night.
Such a beautiful person, yet not paying attention to her sleep schedule at all.
"Uh... who are you?" Su Cheng swallowed his food and asked.
He wasn't actually very interested in those without exclamation marks above their heads.
"You..." The girl's pretty face showed an annoyed expression upon hearing Su Cheng's question. "You're doing this on purpose, right? You confessed to me just two days ago!"
"Oh, sorry, I just woke up and didn't remember," Su Cheng reacted, realizing it was the daughter of the diplomat who had humiliated him two days ago. But this made him even more confused - what did this golden-haired tsundere want with him?
"Do you need something?" Su Cheng asked, puzzled.
"Well... get in the car, let's talk inside." The golden-haired tsundere's face looked a bit embarrassed. She glanced around nervously, but then shook her head as if trying to hide something, and said, "Don't get any weird ideas, I just want to apologize for what happened last time."
"Huh? Apologize? No need, I was at fault too for confessing in front of everyone and putting you on the spot."
Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
Last time this tsundere had such a high and mighty attitude, he didn't expect her to come apologize just two days later. It was quite surprising to him.
"But..."
The golden-haired tsundere's face showed a trace of embarrassment, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, she bit her lip.
Seeing this, Su Cheng said, "If we get out of the same car, it might cause unnecessary trouble for you."
Hearing this, the golden-haired girl finally realized that her actions could indeed cause some misunderstandings. But she still put on an annoyed tsundere face and closed the car window: "Whatever, I don't care about you anymore!"
"Mm."
Su Cheng responded lightly, watching as the golden-haired girl's car slowly drove away.
Then, he opened his history record and found the data of the golden-haired girl he had confessed to before.
He had long forgotten her name.
But since she was willing to humble herself and apologize today, he was willing to remember her name.
[Target: William Henry Cornelia]
[Intelligence: 4.5]
[Charm: 8]
[Stamina: 3]
[Status: Daughter of the British Commissioner to Flame Country]
[System Description: A popular beauty at school, twin tails are her trademark, golden hair like a work of art, clear blue eyes, skin like white porcelain. Any male seeing her for the first time will surely have their gaze instantly drawn to her. But her personality is fierce, passionate, and obsessive.]
[Danger Level: C]
[Failed, cannot confess again within 1 month]
"Eh~ Such a long name, I won't remember it."
"Huh? This intelligence..."
Su Cheng couldn't help but mutter when he saw this data.
With an IQ of only 4.5, he could understand why she had humiliated him at that time. After all, with such intelligence, it's normal to speak without thinking, so she probably regretted her words and actions afterward.
After closing the system panel, he got on the bus and soon arrived at school.
The moment he walked through the school gates, he felt the gazes of people around him. Those gazes were full of scrutiny, and even mixed with a hint of contempt.
It couldn't be helped, the phrase "social climbing" would invite contempt when applied to anyone, so these gazes were quite normal.
He simply pretended not to see and walked straight towards the classroom.
On the way, he encountered a familiar face, but his attitude had already changed.
Mm, Ji Qingyi.
Just a local, nothing more.
She was also wearing the school uniform. Apart from the uniform, she wore black tights on her legs, accentuating her tall and slender figure, displaying her elegant demeanor.
Her glossy black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and there was a charming and unique mole at the corner of her left eye. However, her stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless, with an air of indifference to everything around her.
Except for her slightly small chest, she was truly flawless, making him marvel at how there could be such a coldly beautiful girl in this world.
He wondered if this girl would show a shy expression after being conquered.
At this moment, she was walking in the middle of the corridor, like a thousand-year-old ice, emanating a chilly aura that kept people at a distance. Her black pupils, devoid of life, were filled with coldness and indifference as she walked step by step forward. People around her stepped aside and watched her pass, showing the strength of her presence.
However, Su Cheng directly pretended not to see her and walked towards her. But as they brushed past each other, Ji Qingyi gave Su Cheng a sidelong glance.
He didn't notice this, but instead walked into the classroom, went straight to the seat by the window in the back row, put down his schoolbag, then took out the corresponding textbooks according to the schedule to prepare for class. Finally, he propped his head up and looked out the window at the scenery, lost in thought.
There were potential confession targets in his class too, but he hadn't chosen to confess to any classmates.
Even rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, so to avoid awkwardness for both parties, he hadn't chosen to confess to anyone in class.
His studies were very good, and he used to often be first in his grade, which is why he was admitted to this school.
If it were before he had the system, he would still strive to be first in the grade, but now with the system, he had to pretend to be mediocre.
Otherwise, if he was too outstanding, what if someone accepted his confession?
"Su."
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a male classmate's voice.
He came back to his senses and realized that the classmate was calling him, feeling a bit surprised.
He hadn't actively made friends with anyone in the class.
He turned his head to see a bespectacled boy standing next to him, smiling amiably, his face full of a gentle smile.
"You are..."
Su Cheng looked at the boy in front of him with some confusion.
"My name is Eddie."
The boy introduced himself.
"Do you need something?"
Su Cheng nodded.
"Well... Su, I wanted to ask you about something."
The boy had a hesitant look on his face.
"Go ahead."
Su Cheng looked at Eddie.
Eddie took a deep breath, his face full of anticipation: "I want to know how to not feel embarrassed."
"?"
Su Cheng was puzzled, his face full of question marks.
"Actually, I think you're very brave, and your bravery inspired me, so yesterday I confessed to the class monitor using my phone, but she hasn't replied to me yet..."
"Are you being polite?"
Su Cheng looked at Eddie in front of him and couldn't help but laugh angrily. This person was undoubtedly rubbing salt in his wound, making it seem like he wouldn't be embarrassed after a failed confession?
"Please help me, you must have a way... Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to show my face in class."
Eddie pleaded, his face full of sincerity.
"Sigh."
Su Cheng sighed, "If it's convenient, let me see your chat messages."
"Thank you."
Eddie quickly took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Su Cheng.
When Su Cheng saw the chat history, he almost died of embarrassment.
[Eddie]: Are you there?
[Eddie]: "Class monitor, actually I like you!"
[Eddie]: Will you be my girlfriend?
A few hours later
[Eddie]: Oh no, someone hacked my account!
[Eddie]: Sorry, I didn't send that just now.
However, from beginning to end, the so-called class monitor never replied to him.
Seeing these chat records, Su Cheng felt so embarrassed she could dig out a beachfront property with her toes.
"You might as well say you were possessed by a ghost," Su Cheng bluntly criticized, then handed the phone to the other person.
"There are no such things as ghosts in this world!"
"Then was your account hacked?"
"I..."
Eddie was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Saying you were possessed by a ghost might at least make her laugh, but claiming your account was hacked is just pathetic."
Su Cheng waved her hand impatiently, indicating there was no hope left, then looked out the window, ignoring Eddie.
Eddie looked at her, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face. Then, gritting his teeth, he took his phone and started typing.
[Eddie]: Class monitor!
[Eddie]: Yesterday it was the class 'confession maniac' Su Cheng who stole my phone and sent those messages!
