Chapter 26

I didn’t prepare to confess my feelings over the phone. Confessing is something that can’t be done so rashly; I wanted to call Wang Yao down and tell her in person.

As I ran, I couldn’t help but laugh. Confessing twice in one day to different girls—this behavior might even set a world record, though of course, professional playboys don’t count. When I’m old, I’ll write this story into my memoirs. It will surely shock my grandchildren, who will say, “Grandpa, you’re such a scumbag…”

Some confessions, even when you know they’ll be rejected, you still go through with them. Thinking about it, it actually makes me feel a bit passionate.

Life doesn’t offer many chances to be a fool. If you’re going to be a fool, might as well do it thoroughly!

When I was almost at the bottom of the girls’ dormitory, I vaguely saw a girl running out.

It was actually Wang Yao? What was she doing out so late?

I was planning to call her down, but seeing her run down on her own made me a bit nervous. I instinctively hid behind a tree.

Wang Yao stopped about three meters away, panting from running, bending over and holding her knees.

“Why are you hiding? Come out.”

I was startled. Was she talking to me? No way, she couldn’t have seen me…

“Zuo Fei, are you coming out or not?”

It really was calling me! Oh my God, I had no choice but to unwillingly step out, bending over and panting with her.

“What are you doing out so late?” Wang Yao glared at me with anger.

I didn’t know what I had done to upset her: “I… I…” I really didn’t know what to say!

“Speak!” Wang Yao’s eyes were fierce.

I was even more nervous, all my passion gone, like a bucket of cold water had been poured over me. I said involuntarily, “I came out for a walk…”

“You’re lying!” Wang Yao came over and punched me in the stomach.

I “oofed,” almost vomiting. I didn’t know Wang Yao’s punch was so powerful!

“Are you going to speak or not?” Wang Yao grabbed my arm and kneed me in the stomach.

I bent over, not to mention whether I could fight back, I didn’t dare to at this moment. I didn’t know why she was so angry! I said, “I really came out for a walk, sister…” I was almost calling her “auntie”!

Wang Yao wasn’t about to stop. Taking advantage of my bent-over position, she hit me on the back with her elbow a few times.

It hurt, it really hurt. I quickly stepped back, “Auntie, stop, what did I do to you?”

“You kissed me just now, and now you’re lying to me. Do you dare say you didn’t upset me?” Wang Yao came over again, looking like she wanted to hit me more.

I immediately ran, Wang Yao chasing after me, “Stop right there!”

I didn’t dare to stop, running continuously. Wang Yao was really good at chasing. We ran almost half the campus. There were still streetlights near the dormitories, but it was pitch black by the basketball court.

“Did you hear me? Stop right there!” Wang Yao shouted, “This is your last chance. If you don’t stop, I’ll go get a machete!”

I had heard about Wang Yao using a machete to cut a big cat, so I quickly stopped. Better to get a beating than to be chopped with a knife. Wang Yao came over and punched me in the stomach a few more times, “If you run again, if you run again!”

I didn’t dare to run or fight back, just let her hit me. But Wang Yao was considerate; she hit my body, not my face, knowing I rely on my looks. When she was tired, she asked me, “Tell me, why are you out so late?”

I didn’t dare to confess, just decided to tough it out, “I came out for a walk! Monkey succeeded, I failed! I was in a bad mood, drank some alcohol, and came out for a walk. I even got beaten up by you. Where can I go to complain?”

“Fine, you’re still lying.” Wang Yao looked around and walked to the side.

I was puzzled about what she was going to do, then saw her come over with a brick.

Oh no!

I immediately stepped back, waving my hands, “Wang Yao, calm down.” Is she drunk?

“Last chance, why are you out so late?”

“I really came out for a walk, ancestor!” I was completely convinced, what was Wang Yao up to tonight?

Wang Yao raised the brick, “Do you dare say you’re not here to confess to me?”

I was stunned. How did Wang Yao know? Is she a worm in my stomach?

Seeing my reaction, Wang Yao knew she was right and came over to punch me again. This time, she didn’t hit my stomach but my face. I felt a burning sensation, definitely swollen.

Wang Yao wasn’t done, continuing to punch and kick me, hitting my stomach and kicking my legs, while scolding, “You scumbag, you just confessed to Lin Keer and now you’re coming to me. You’re really daring, who gave you the nerve? I felt something was off, the way you looked at me, all lecherous. How long have you been eyeing me?”

I was speechless, but Wang Yao didn’t need me to speak. She was more like venting.

Wang Yao hit, kicked, and scolded me, “I hate guys like you, always looking for more. Just focus on Lin Keer, but you dare to have designs on me? You’re hurting me. If others find out, how can I continue? I’ll chop you with a knife, you wait, I’ll chop you with a knife.”

Wang Yao walked away, and I quickly followed, saying sorry, promising not to do it again, not to tell anyone. Wang Yao ignored me, walking continuously. After a few dozen meters, she suddenly stopped, sitting on the steps by the basketball court, burying her head in her knees, her shoulders shaking.

She was crying?!

I widened my eyes, hardly believing Wang Yao was crying!

“What do I do…” Wang Yao cried even harder.

I quickly sat next to her, gently patting her back, “It’s my fault, I couldn’t control my feelings. I understand your meaning tonight. I promise I won’t have feelings for you again, I promise I won’t tell anyone, I promise I won’t affect your reputation, okay?”

Wang Yao ignored me, still crying into her knees. I didn’t know how to comfort her, just kept saying it was my fault, don’t take it to heart, I won’t make you uncomfortable. Soon, Wang Yao lifted her head, her eyes swollen from crying, sobbing, “You don’t understand my meaning.”

I said, how don’t I understand? You’ve already hit and scolded me, I won’t have feelings for you anymore, right?

“But… what if I have feelings for you…” Wang Yao suddenly said.

I was stunned, staring at Wang Yao. It was almost midnight, no lights by the basketball court, I could only see Wang Yao’s face by the moonlight.

I was sure Wang Yao wasn’t joking, she was serious. Wang Yao was still sobbing, the cool night breeze blowing, we were silent for a long time. Wang Yao actually had feelings for me? I almost thought I was dreaming, but the real crying and the cool breeze told me this wasn’t a dream.

“How long?” I asked.

“I don’t know…” Wang Yao said, “When they first told me a boy was especially protective of Lin Keer and got beaten up seven times in three days, I thought this boy was interesting. Later, in the park, you were also so protective of Lin Keer, even going against the entire Ninth Prince. I admired you then, because we sisters mostly met bad guys. I once had a boyfriend who was good at studies, had good character, and was handsome, but after being beaten up, he didn’t dare to see me anymore. Everyone praised you, saying you were good in every way, and I couldn’t help but want to look at you more.

But I knew it wasn’t right. You were Lin Keer’s designated boyfriend, I couldn’t interfere. Later, when you saved me and got stabbed by the big cat, I almost couldn’t hold back. I was so jealous of Lin Keer, why did she have such a good boyfriend? But I still had to hold back.

Until today, after you failed to confess, how happy was I? Is that too dark? I thought my chance had come, but when I asked Lin Keer, she hadn’t decided yet, unsure if she liked you. I pretended to comfort her, but I was disappointed… Don’t say more, the more I say, the more I feel like a scumbag! I’m not like that!”

“Keep talking, I’m listening.”

Wang Yao was silent for a moment, then continued, “I was afraid you’d be sad, so I went to drink with you. While drinking, I felt something was off, this guy kept looking at me. Later, back at the dorm, you kissed me. You were really bold, I didn’t cripple you on the spot, you were lucky. Back at the dorm, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. You wouldn’t impulsively come to confess to me, right? That would be the end of me. I had to stop you, so I went downstairs to check, and you really dared to come!”

After saying that, Wang Yao punched my shoulder again.

I didn’t dodge, softly saying, “Want to hear my story?”

So I started to tell my story, from the first time I saw her, the shock, to the first time I couldn’t resist my feelings, from constantly suppressing my emotions to the explosion when I found out the big cat had taken her away. I said I repeatedly suppressed my feelings, I didn’t like fickle guys, so I wanted to be devoted to Lin Keer. But she rejected me tonight, I drank some alcohol, and accidentally kissed her, my emotions finally burst, and I impulsively wanted to confess to her.

After I finished, Wang Yao was also stunned. Actually, our mindsets were somewhat similar.

I sighed, “Since we like each other, why don’t we…”

Wang Yao jumped up, “No way! I won’t be with you!”
