Su Ming: I Respect Him as a Man

The boys' dormitory was already bustling early that morning.

The boys, who had not even combed their hair and looked as rough and disheveled as vagrants, poked their heads out from the windows and doorway one after another, chattering excitedly.

They were excited.

They were worked up.

Some of them even wore foolish, lovestruck grins and kept shouting things like "AWSL," acting as lecherously as middle-aged men.

And the person who had reduced them to such a state was none other than a girl standing at the dormitory entrance.

The girl stood against the wind. She had somehow made the academy uniform look like a JK uniform. Her skirt fluttered gently in the breeze, tracing one soothing arc after another and tugging at the hearts of countless straight men.

The girl was also extraordinarily cute. Her delicate baby face made her look like a little princess, but at that moment, she seemed slightly nervous. Her small hands were clasped together, her fingertips faintly white, making it obvious that she was using quite a bit of force.

Especially as more and more boys appeared around the dormitory and the commotion grew louder, the girl became even more nervous and bashful. She lowered her head unconsciously, her little face turning bright red and making her unbearably adorable.

That sight directly awakened the girlish hearts hidden within all those rough men.

"My god! Isn't she way too cute?"

"My girlish heart!"

"Although Xu Qianqian is so beautiful she seems to sparkle, this An Zijin really deserves her reputation as someone who was considered capable of rivaling Xu Qianqian not long after enrolling."

"Cute. I want one."

"Hey, don't get any ideas."

"What's going on these past two days? Yesterday, School Belle Xu came to the boys' dormitory for the first time ever, and today School Belle An has followed her here."

"This is way too blissful, isn't it?"

"I just wonder what School Belle An wants."

"Could she be here to deliver a note to someone, just like School Belle Xu?"

"Damn! Which bastard is getting this kind of luck this time?"

"We haven't even finished dealing with that Su Ming guy, and another fool is already looking for death?"

"Wait for me. I'm going to sharpen my sword again."

"I'll go find a rope."

Conversations like these rang out one after another, making the commotion around the boys' dormitory grow louder and louder.

Su Ming also poked his head out from his dorm room doorway. Looking at the nervous An Zijin standing in the wind, his large eyes were filled with confusion.

"This An Zijin—cough, I mean, why is An Zijin here too?"

Su Ming blinked, looking curious.

Without a doubt, Su Ming was watching the drama unfold.

His first reaction was not anything else, but schadenfreude.

Because An Zijin's appearance clearly showed that she was waiting for someone.

And who could she wait for at the boys' dormitory besides a boy?

So Su Ming was gleefully enjoying someone else's misfortune. As someone who had been through it before, he sympathized with the person who was about to interact with An Zijin.

Of course, he felt far more gleeful than sympathetic.

After all, this meant that someone else would get to experience the same thing he had: being surrounded by men upon men, with masculinity piled on top of masculinity.

This was great.

Why should he be the only one to experience such suffering? Right?

That was what Su Ming was thinking. At most, he sighed over the fact that the goddess-like junior who had only just enrolled had already been effortlessly swept off her feet by someone.

Su Ming was completely unaware that Ye Bai beside him was looking at him as if he were already dead.

"You seem pretty happy," Ye Bai said darkly. "That's right, you should be happy. Who would have thought that you, Young Master Su, had such ability? Yesterday you attracted the upperclassman School Belle, and today you've attracted the junior School Belle."

"Who attracted the junior School Belle?" Su Ming was still immersed in his own thoughts, so his reaction was somewhat slow. "That guy has quite the nerve. Isn't he afraid of being socially annihilated by the junior School Belle's fan club?"

Su Ming could already picture the unfortunate bastard's fate.

The goddess-like junior had only just enrolled, and the entire academy was still fawning over her. Her lovable nature had made her even more popular than Xu Qianqian. Men and women alike adored her, especially those female upperclassmen whose girlish hearts had run wild. They doted on An Zijin beyond measure.

Now, after less than a few days, this adorable goddess-like junior already had a man. Unless that guy was skinned alive, there was no way this matter would be allowed to pass, right?

Thinking of what had happened to him yesterday, Su Ming could not help saying, "Putting everything else aside, just for daring to court An Zijin while risking the attention of the entire academy, I respect him as a man."

Those were Su Ming's sincere feelings.

Yet Su Ming still failed to notice that not only Ye Bai but also Lei Hao had leaned over. Both of them looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Lei Hao then said bluntly, "Then hurry up and go, man."

His tone was also full of schadenfreude.

"What?" Su Ming waved his hand. "What does that have to do with me?"

After hearing Su Ming, Lei Hao burst out laughing.

Only Ye Bai continued to throw out dark comments.

"Just now, the dormitory supervisor came to our room," Ye Bai said ominously. "An Zijin seemed to have asked him to come up and find someone."

"Find who?" Su Ming froze.

Immediately afterward, a bad feeling began to rise in Su Ming's heart.

Recalling the tearful shout he had heard when Ye Bai shook him awake earlier, Su Ming's heart began to cramp.

No way, right?

No way, no way?

Just as Su Ming frantically denied it in his heart and shouted, "No, no," Lei Hao clutched his aching stomach and patted Su Ming on the shoulder.

"Who else could she be looking for besides you?" Lei Hao laughed loudly. "Hurry up and go, our man."

Su Ming's head began to buzz, and his entire body went stupid.

"Looking for me?"

Su Ming pointed at his own nose, looking as if he could not believe it.

"If she isn't looking for you, could she be looking for me?" Ye Bai was angered by Su Ming's foolish expression and shouted, "I wish she were, but she specifically named you, Su Ming!"

As he shouted, Ye Bai grabbed Su Ming by the collar and shook him wildly.

"Tell me! What exactly did you do? Why isn't it just Xu Qianqian? Why has An Zijin also come to the boys' dormitory to find you?"

"Could it be that you caught them doing something and threatened them with it, forcing them to submit to you?"

"If that's the case, turn yourself in! I'll pay for a lawyer and try to get you a suspended death sentence!"

Good grief, was this what a brother was supposed to be?

I'm done. I'm really done.

Beside them, Lei Hao even spoke with complete seriousness.

"I don't think you caught the School Belles doing anything. You must have used some kind of hypnosis app. As brothers, shouldn't you share it at a time like this?"

"What the hell do you mean, a hypnosis app?"

"Do you think this is some kind of adult game world!?"

Su Ming finally reacted. He slapped away the frantic Ye Bai and schadenfreude-filled Lei Hao, feeling somewhat broken inside.

"No, I barely have any interaction with An Zijin. Why would she be looking for me?"

Su Ming racked his brains, desperately trying to remember whether he had encountered another female vampire on some dark and windy night.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could not find any memory related to that.

"Could I be getting pranked? Or is An Zijin trying to compete with Xu Qianqian out of a spirit of rivalry, and that's why she's come looking for trouble with me?"

Su Ming tried his best to consider every possibility.

But very quickly, he set all those thoughts aside.

"Now isn't the time to think about that."

Su Ming climbed onto the doorframe and looked at An Zijin, who was still waiting outside the dormitory. His mood was now completely different from before.

"No matter what An Zijin wants, I can't go see her."

What a joke. The commotion Xu Qianqian had caused yesterday had not even died down yet. If he added An Zijin, whom every teacher and student in the academy treasured, how many lives would he need to calm everyone's fury?

So Su Ming decided without the slightest hesitation.

"I have to escape!"

Otherwise, he might not survive the day.

With that thought, Su Ming turned around and rushed toward the window.

"Don't even think about it!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Bai grabbed Su Ming.

"You actually want to run? You're going to leave Junior An waiting outside until her heart breaks?" Ye Bai stared at Su Ming with reddened eyes and shouted, "Do you have any conscience!?"

"I should be asking you whether you have any brains!" Su Ming stared at Ye Bai in shock. "Do you really want me to go see An Zijin?"

This guy really wanted to harm him!

"I don't care!" Ye Bai said stubbornly. "Since Junior An has come, you can't make a weak little girl wait for you outside in such cold weather!"

"It's summer! What do you mean, cold?" Su Ming cursed at Ye Bai. "I'm not going, anyway! If you want to see her, go yourself!"

"I want to, but I can't!" Ye Bai once again spoke through tearful eyes. "She didn't come looking for me. Since that's the case, I should at least fulfill her wish to see you!"

"You damn bootlicker!" Su Ming immediately began struggling.

But Ye Bai somehow possessed tremendous strength and refused to let Su Ming escape.

Not only that, Ye Bai clung to Su Ming's clothes while shouting toward the doorway.

"Junior An! Don't worry! Su Ming is with me!"

The moment he said that, the entire dormitory suddenly fell silent.

An Zijin, standing at the doorway, could not help brightening. She lifted her little head expectantly, looking so lovable that anyone would feel pity for her.

Everyone saw that expression.

Therefore, everyone also realized one thing.

"Su Ming?"

"Is this the Su Ming I know?"

"It should be."

"In other words, An Zijin, like Xu Qianqian, came to find Su Ming?"

"..."

As silence descended, a terrifying killing intent began to gather.

And so, Su Ming understood.

"This is really over."
