Chapter 51: A Midnight Confession and a Shocking Revelation

Ugh, these two…

No matter how I looked at them, they seemed undeniably familiar.

“Forgive my bluntness, but these two… don’t I recognize them?” Xiao Xi whispered to Mia behind him.

Hearing this, Mia squinted, scrutinizing them closely. Hmm…

Suddenly, her pupils dilated. She spun her head around, mouth agape, nodding vigorously as if a realization had struck her. Immediately afterward, she pointed a finger at the taller boy.

“That… that person is!”

Mia spoke in a hushed tone, yet the emphasis in her voice conveyed her profound shock.

So, who was this boy?

Based on Xiao Xi and Mia’s observations, the boy appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen, likely Xiao Xi’s age. His long, flowing middle-parted hair gave him the air of a traditional Chinese cosplay enthusiast. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and every gesture exuded an elegant demeanor.

The girl, on the other hand, had her hair tied in a fluffy bun adorned with a pink bow, making her look incredibly endearing. Her petite frame gave the impression of a little loli standing before them, naturally eliciting a desire to protect her. Occasionally, she would pout or stick out her tongue in a cute gesture, melting Xiao Xi’s heart completely.

But that wasn’t the point. The crucial part was this!

“I remember now! It’s definitely him! That day, when I went on stage to give my speech, I snatched the microphone right out of his hand!” Mia exclaimed, patting Xiao Xi and letting out a soft, excited cry.

“That damn guy was the one who dragged me off in the end! What nerve, putting on airs! If the teachers weren’t there, he wouldn’t dare utter a single peep!”

“Uh…”

Xiao Xi fell silent for a moment. This… this matter, he couldn’t help but feel the guy hadn’t done anything wrong.

However, since Mia was so insistent and her impression of him was so deep, coupled with Xiao Xi’s own vague recollection of seeing him at some ceremony, there was no mistaking his identity.

The person before them was none other than—the Student Council President, Nan Feng!

Holy moly!

Once this clicked, the situation suddenly felt outrageous. Nan Feng, the Student Council President, was out in the middle of the night with a female classmate, engaging in such activities on school grounds. This, this, this…

If word got out, it would truly be scandalous!

Wait a minute…

Suddenly realizing something, Xiao Xi abruptly turned to look at the girl. Hmm… such a cute young lady, but he didn’t know her, only had a slight impression. Perhaps he’d bumped into her a few times at school—her cuteness certainly made her memorable. Or perhaps she was a member of the student council, whom he’d seen from afar once or twice.

No, no, no, the main point wasn’t how cute this girl was, but…

“Yuzu, are you… not worried your parents will be concerned, chatting with me so late?” Nan Feng gently stroked Yuzu’s head.

The adorable girl smiled warmly, then shook her head. “They know I’m out with President-sama, so they’re perfectly at ease~”

What the heck!

“Oh, I can’t take this anymore! What a sickening couple!”

Before Xiao Xi could even speak, Mia burst out, her voice so loud that Xiao Xi quickly clapped a hand over her mouth. He waited nervously for a while, only releasing Mia once he was certain the young couple hadn’t noticed them.

“Mmph… Hmph—” Mia was still protesting, but Xiao Xi paid her no mind. His primary concern was the couple before him.

Xiao Xi didn’t dislike couples, truly. He had a sister, so he wasn’t lacking in love. But one thing truly bothered him: this girl named Yuzu was clearly not Chick-chan!

What was going on? Hadn’t Chick-chan said she and the President were almost officially together? That meant, at the very least, Chick-chan and Nan Feng should have been in an ambiguous relationship.

Perhaps they were just a step away from officially becoming a couple. But… but…

Chick-chan, your beloved President-sama was right here, openly flirting with another girl!

Tsk tsk tsk!

This… this was practically a scumbag move! It amounted to cheating in some ways. If discovered, a girl who couldn’t stomach such an insult would surely post him on the confession wall!

If Chick-chan ever found out about this, she’d probably spit up three liters of blood and die of anger! After all, she liked Nan Feng so much, *pfft*—

Ah, no, I shouldn’t be gloating. Chick-chan had even said that if her confession failed, she’d drag him into an alley. This… this… Oh my, thinking about it, this situation was actually closely related to him!

Hmm…

And when he thought about it, what difference was there between this cheating scumbag and Sister Yuan, who, despite marrying him, still had a secretary with black stockings, long legs, and large breasts? They were all scumbags, both men and women! They were all people ready to cheat!

He was getting angry now.

Ugh—

Aaah!

Awooo!

Damn it…

Xiao Xi took out his water gun and cocked it!

Today, he didn’t care if they were discovered or not. At worst, he’d spray them and run. If he couldn’t outrun them, he’d take a beating. Today, he was absolutely going to ‘FFF’ this despicable couple!

Mia!

Xiao Xi turned to Mia, his eyes filled with determination. Mia nodded in response, confidently extending her hand and snapping her fingers.

*Whoosh~*

Oh my god!

Xiao Xi stared in astonishment at Mia’s fingertips. There was actually… a real flame!

Suddenly, his confidence in Mia’s abilities surged. What… what was happening to him?

He rubbed his eyes, but the flame was still there!

I can’t believe it…

Did magic truly exist in this world?

“Ahem…”

Nan Feng’s clearing of his throat pulled Xiao Xi back to reality. Both immediately resumed their surreptitious glances at the couple. What was happening now?

“Um… we’ve talked quite a bit. So… Yuzu, there’s something I want to tell you.” Nan Feng stammered, his face tinged with shyness.

Ah, this…

Xiao Xi and Mia frowned, both arriving at the same conjecture: this… this guy hadn’t confessed yet, had he?

Was he… witnessing a live confession?

Oh, oh… this, this…

No, no, no. Even for Chick-chan’s sake, he couldn’t let himself get excited. Hatred, hatred! He bared his teeth, hardening his resolve. He must maintain a hostile attitude towards this guy; he couldn’t let a scumbag off easily!

Yuzu: “Ah… President, then… please speak. I’m listening.”

Nan Feng: “*Gulp—Hoo~*”

He was quite nervous.

Nan Feng: “Um… I… I’ve liked you for a long time. Will you… be my girlfriend?”

The more the scumbag spoke, the weaker his resolve became. Xiao Xi mockingly shook his head, *tsk*. Was it because he knew that confessing while still being ambiguous with other girls was a bad thing to do? *Hmph*, if you already know that, then prepare to face the consequences!

Xiao Xi raised his water gun, took aim, targeting the headshot line!

At the same time, Mia gave a thumbs-up, adopting a similar aiming stance.

Three, two, one!

Charge!

“I… I’m sorry, President. There’s something I haven’t told you. Actually, I… I’m a boy, so, that wouldn’t work, would it?”

…

Eh?
