Was I Just Confessed To?

Su Ke was a bit surprised by his own inexplicable actions of walking up an extra floor and standing at the entrance of Li Feifei's classroom. Perhaps it was because he had learned in the principal's office that Li Feifei had asked her father to put in a good word for him.

However, standing at the classroom door while being stared at by so many people made him feel rather uncomfortable. Habitually, he felt his face heating up; he raised a hand to rub his nose, gave Li Feifei an "OK" gesture, and turned to leave.

The teacher lecturing on the podium frowned slightly, and just then, the bell rang, causing the classroom to erupt into noise.

"Su Ke!" Li Feifei ran out of the classroom quickly, and seeing that Su Ke hadn't gone far, she called out to him directly.

Hearing Li Feifei's voice, Su Ke turned around and walked back. "Heh, thanks to you, it seems I won't be getting expelled this time!"

He didn't want to mention that he had already been nominated for the city's Top Ten Youth League Members, even though that was likely the reason he had been spared. Seeing the joyful smile blooming on Li Feifei's face, he nodded at her.

"I knew you wouldn't be expelled, but you must remember what you promised me!" Li Feifei's style was always fresh and full of youthful vitality, and her tone now sounded more like she was talking to an old friend.

"Of course, a man's word is his bond, isn't it?" Su Ke shrugged, catching glimpses of many people secretly glancing their way, their expressions a mix of surprise and jealousy.

"Hey, listen to you, 'a man's word'!" Li Feifei chuckled, teasing him playfully.

"If not a man, then a husband?" Su Ke blurted out. As soon as he said it, he noticed Li Feifei freeze, as if she hadn't understood, but she immediately pouted. "Pah, you pervert, you never change!"

"Alright, I'm off. Find me if you need anything!" Su Ke gave a cheeky grin. Being watched by people in the hallway was uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and ran downstairs.

"Yo! You finally made it back, Su Ke!" As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Wang Xiaogang jump up and pull him by the arm toward the outside without a word. "What's going on? I heard you got into it with Li Xueliang's son at noon!" His voice dropped, and Su Ke could clearly hear the concern in it.

"It's nothing, it's already resolved!" Su Ke patted Wang Xiaogang on the back, remaining noncommittal. He truly valued Wang Xiaogang's concern, as he really didn't have many friends in class.

"Yeah, I'm not worried about that kid, but his old man is our dean of students. I'm afraid he'll give you trouble!" No sooner had Wang Xiaogang finished speaking than the bell for class rang.

Sitting at his desk, Su Ke quickly entered a study state. He had made up his mind: one must rely on one's own strength. Although he had cleared his math and had hope for the science subjects, he still needed to put in more effort for the others.

Focused and attentive, time passed much faster. After the bell rang, Su Ke stretched, only to see shadows flickering outside the classroom door, as if someone were looking at him.

Three young girls stood outside, craning their necks to peer into the classroom. It was obvious to Su Ke that they were talking about him, though he had no idea why.

"Su Ke!" one of the girls suddenly pointed at him and shouted.

Su Ke was stunned. He was one hundred percent certain he didn't know the girl speaking. Her style was far too alternative: her hair was cut into a short, buzz-like style, and she wore large, bright circular earrings on both earlobes. Her figure, however, was quite nice—curvaceous—and she was waving at him.

He frowned, feeling a bit put off by her attire. Perhaps deep down, Su Ke still preferred the gentle, elegant image of someone like Wei Lan.

"Su Ke! Come out here!" The girl with the buzz cut called out again when she saw Su Ke didn't move. This drew the gaze of every student in the classroom toward him, and Wei Lan's indignant eye-roll made him shiver.

Confused, Su Ke walked out. Wang Xiaogang patted his shoulder, grinning lecherously. "Su Ke, your luck with the ladies is something else! First the school beauty Li in the morning, and now three little beauties in the afternoon!"

"Get lost!" Su Ke said as he reached the door. "Are you looking for me?" he asked the buzz-cut girl. Up close, he noticed she was wearing makeup; her eyelashes were dark and long, and her large, watery eyes were truly bright.

"Heh heh, Brother Su Ke, I heard you caught a thief and then beat up Li Daxing, the dean's son, at noon today. You're so manly!" The girl was overly familiar, calling him "brother" right away, which made Su Ke feel a bit embarrassed.

"Heh!" Su Ke didn't know what to say, so he just grinned. "Is there something you need?"

"It's not me, it's my friend Qingqing who wants to see you!" The buzz-cut girl said, reaching out to pull her companion over, pushing her toward Su Ke, whether intentionally or not.

Su Ke quickly took a step back, finally getting a clear look at the girl. She had fluffy, short hair dyed golden-yellow, like a large mushroom cap, but her features were delicate. Her lips seemed to be coated in gloss, looking red and lustrous. Seeing Su Ke's gaze, she seemed a bit shy.

"Brother Su Ke!" The girl called Qingqing had a sweet voice that made Su Ke involuntarily swallow. Her pure face and sweet voice contrasted sharply with her fluffy golden hair, creating a visually striking beauty.

"Um, what is it?" Su Ke felt his own voice soften involuntarily as he asked with a smile.

Under Su Ke's gaze, Qingqing's face flushed red. She nervously clasped her hands together, her eyes darting away, which left Su Ke even more confused. What was going on?

"Say it! Say it!" The buzz-cut girl and the other girl stood on either side, rhythmically shaking Qingqing's arms as if cheering her on, which only left Su Ke more bewildered.

"Is there something wrong?" Su Ke asked again.

"Brother Su Ke!" Qingqing raised her head, her white teeth biting her red lip. She seemed so nervous that her breathing was shallow; Su Ke could see her delicate nostrils flaring, which was quite cute.

"I... I'm Liu Qingqing from Class 3, Grade 1. Can I... can I be your girlfriend?" After saying this, Liu Qingqing finally let out a breath, and before Su Ke could react, she abandoned her two companions and ran off until she was out of sight.

Su Ke was stunned, standing at the door, motionless. Wait, did I just get confessed to?
