Su Ming: I Respect Him as a Real Man

This morning, the boys' dormitory was already bustling with activity from the crack of dawn.

One by one, with hair still unkempt and looking like disheveled vagrants, the rough-and-tumble guys poked their heads out of windows and doorways, chattering away excitedly.

They were thrilled.

They were pumped.

Some of them even wore dazed, infatuated grins, constantly shouting things like "AWSL," acting as lecherous as old uncles.

The one who had driven them to such a state was none other than a girl standing at the dormitory entrance.

The girl stood facing the wind, her school uniform somehow giving off the vibe of a JK outfit, her skirt hem gently fluttering in the breeze, tracing one soothing arc after another, tugging at the hearts of countless true men.

The girl was also exceptionally cute, with a doll-like face as delicate as a little princess, though at this moment it carried a hint of nervousness. Her small hands were clasped together, her fingers slightly pale, making it easy to see she was using quite a bit of force.

Especially as more and more boys appeared at the dormitory and the noise grew louder, the girl became even more nervous and shy, involuntarily lowering her head. Her little face flushed red, unbearably adorable.

That scene directly triggered a burst of maiden hearts among the rough guys.

"Oh my god! Isn't this too cute?"

"My old maiden heart!"

"Although Xu Qianqian is stunningly beautiful, this An Zijin really lives up to being considered someone who can rival Xu Qianqian since she just enrolled."

"Cute. Want."

"Upstairs, I suggest you don't think too much."

"What's going on these past two days? School Belle Xu came to the boys' dormitory for the first time ever, and the next day School Belle An followed right along."

"Isn't this too blissful?"

"I wonder what School Belle An wants to do this time."

"Could it be the same as School Belle Xu, coming to find someone to hand over a note?"

"Damn! Which bastard has this kind of luck this time?"

"We haven't even dealt with Su Ming yet, and now another troublemaker wants to court 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, stirring up an even bigger commotion at the boys' dormitory.

Su Ming also poked his head out of his dorm room doorway, watching An Zijin standing nervously in the wind, his big eyes full of confusion.

"This An Zijin—ah, spit—why is this An Zijin here too?"

Su Ming blinked, looking curious.

Without a doubt, Su Ming was now eating popcorn.

His first thought wasn't anything else—it was schadenfreude.

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

And who else could she be waiting for at the boys' dormitory but a guy?

So Su Ming was gloating, speaking from experience, feeling sympathy for the guy who was about to come into contact with An Zijin.

Of course, there was still more schadenfreude.

After all, this way, there would be another person like him, getting a taste of being surrounded by men and feeling the pressure.

That was pretty good.

Why should he be the only one to suffer this pain? Right?

Su Ming thought this, at most sighing that the newly enrolled goddess junior had already been effortlessly snatched up by someone.

This Su Ming completely failed to notice that Ye Bai beside him was looking at him like he was a dead man.

"You seem pretty happy," Ye Bai said darkly. "Well, you should be happy. Who would've thought that you, Master Su, are so capable—yesterday you attracted the School Belle senior, and today you've attracted the School Belle junior?"

"Who attracted the School Belle junior?" Su Ming was still lost in his own thoughts, so his reaction was a bit slow, making him say, "He's got some guts, not afraid of being socially destroyed by this School Belle junior's fan club?"

Su Ming could already see that poor bastard's fate.

This newly enrolled goddess junior was still the whole academy's darling, and her universally lovable traits had made her even more popular than Xu Qianqian. Both men and women liked her, especially the senior girls with overflowing maiden hearts, who doted on An Zijin endlessly.

Now, in just a few days, this adorable goddess junior already had a man. There was no way this guy would get off without being skinned alive, right?

Thinking back to his own experience yesterday, Su Ming couldn't help but say one thing.

"Putting everything else aside, just for daring to risk being targeted by the whole academy to pursue An Zijin, I salute him as a real man."

That was Su Ming's honest opinion.

But even so, Su Ming still didn't notice that not only Ye Bai, but Lei Hao had also leaned over, looking at him like he was an idiot.

Then, Lei Hao bluntly said one thing.

"Then you'd better get up there, 'real man.'"

Lei Hao's tone was also full of schadenfreude.

"What?" Su Ming waved a hand. "What's that got to do with me?"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Lei Hao burst out laughing.

Only Ye Bai, still with that gloomy air, tossed out another line.

"Just now, the dorm manager came to our room." Ye Bai's expression was dark. "It seems Junior An asked him to come up and find someone."

"Find who?" Su Ming blinked.

Then, a bad feeling began to creep into Su Ming's heart.

Remembering the tearful shout he'd heard when Ye Bai shook him awake, Su Ming's heart started to cramp.

No way?

No way, no way, no way?

Just as Su Ming was frantically denying it in his head, shouting "No, no," Lei Hao, clutching his stomach from laughing too hard, patted Su Ming on the shoulder and spoke.

"Who else would it be but you?" Lei Hao laughed loudly. "Get going, man."

Su Ming's head buzzed, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"Looking for me?"

Su Ming pointed at his own nose, looking like he couldn't believe it.

"If it's not you, do you think it's me?" Ye Bai glared at Su Ming's stupid expression, suddenly getting angry, and yelled, "I wish it were! But she named you, Su Ming!"

As he shouted, Ye Bai grabbed Su Ming by the collar, shaking him wildly while ranting.

"Tell me! What did you do? It's not just Xu Qianqian! Even An Zijin came to the boys' dorm to find you!"

"Did you get some dirt on them and threaten them into giving in?"

"If so, turn yourself in! I'll chip in to get you a lawyer for a stay of execution!"

What a bro, huh?

Love it, love it.

And to top it off, Lei Hao chimed in with a straight face.

"I don't think you've got dirt on the School Belles. I think you used some hypnosis app. As your brother, you should share, right?"

Hypnosis app my ass!

"Do you think this is some eroge world!?"

Su Ming finally snapped out of it, shoving off the frantic Ye Bai and the gleeful Lei Hao, feeling a bit of a breakdown inside.

"No, I barely know An Zijin. What does she want with me?"

Su Ming racked his brain, desperately trying to remember if he'd run into another female vampire on some dark, windy night.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't find any such memory.

"Could I be getting pranked? Or is An Zijin trying to compete with Xu Qianqian out of spite and coming after me?"

Su Ming tried to consider every possibility.

But soon, he pushed those thoughts aside.

"Now's not the time for this."

Su Ming climbed up to the door frame, looking at An Zijin still waiting at the dorm entrance, his mood completely different from before.

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

Are you kidding? The commotion Xu Qianqian caused yesterday hasn't even died down yet. Add An Zijin, the darling of every teacher and student in the whole academy, and how many lives would he need to calm the public fury?

So, without a second thought, Su Ming made a firm decision.

"I have to run!"

Otherwise, he might not make it through the day.

With that in mind, Su Ming turned and dashed for the window.

"Don't even think about it!"

Who would've thought? Ye Bai grabbed Su Ming and held on tight.

"You're trying to run? Leaving Junior An waiting outside alone until her heart breaks?" Ye Bai stared at Su Ming with red eyes and shouted, "Do you have any conscience!?"

"I should be asking you if you have any brain!" Su Ming stared at Ye Bai in shock. "Are you seriously telling me to go see An Zijin?"

This guy definitely wants me dead!

"I don't care!" Ye Bai stubbornly insisted. "Since Junior An came all this way, you can't make a frail little girl wait for you so long in this cold weather!"

"It's summer! Cold my ass!" Su Ming cursed, snapping at Ye Bai. "I'm not going! If you want to see her, go yourself!"

"I wish I could! But I can't!" Ye Bai was on the verge of tears again. "She's not here for me, so the least I can do is fulfill her wish to see you!"

"You damn simp!" Su Ming immediately started struggling.

But Ye Bai, somehow finding a surge of strength, wouldn't let Su Ming escape.

Not only that, but Ye Bai was also tugging at Su Ming's clothes while shouting by the door.

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

The moment those words were spoken, the entire dorm fell into a sudden silence.

Standing at the door, An Zijin couldn't help but brighten with joy, lifting her little head as if eagerly waiting, a pitifully endearing sight.

Everyone saw that look.

And so, everyone understood one thing.

"...Su Ming?"

"Is this Su Ming the same Su Ming I know?"

"It should be."

"Meaning An Zijin, like Xu Qianqian, is here for Su Ming?"

"..."

With a stretch of silence, a terrifying murderous intent began to gather.

And so, Su Ming realized.

"I'm completely screwed now."
