Chapter 655 - 655 Confession
655 Confession
Xu Xi pulled out his phone with a trembling hand. He stared at the screen for a long time but did not press any buttons. He looked up and was startled when he saw the expectant eyes of the crowd. After holding it in for a long time, Xu Xi asked gloomily, “Am I usually that obvious?”
The girl who had made the request snorted. “Of course! You stare at Little Miss Chu till your eyes are almost popping out! Other than that business-minded genius of a blockhead, Little Miss Chu, even the blind people in our school almost know about it.”
Xu Xi lowered his head at the verbal attack. The boy beside him quickly patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.
Xu Xi took a deep breath and finally mustered up his courage to call Chu Ning, which was the earlier call.
Xu Xi and the others waited nervously in the room. Xu Xi paced back and forth, taking deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down.
The people around him felt giddy when they looked at him. Xu Xi, on the other hand, became even more jittery. “Don’t you think that my confession is too simple? Do I need to prepare anything?”
The boy who had given him the idea pressed him down on the sofa. “There’s no need for that. What if Little Miss Chu rejects you? Wouldn’t your meticulously-prepared confession make things awkward between the two of you? Don’t you want to be friends with her?”
When Xu Xi heard that there was a possibility of being rejected, he felt like he was suffocating. “It’s highly possible that I’ll be rejected,” Xu Xi thought to himself in a pessimistic manner. He might only be able to watch Chu Ning silently in the future.
A girl stood up and analyzed logically, “It’s indeed quite possible. But for Little Miss Chu, she will probably reject you because she cares more about her studies and career, or because she thinks that it’s not suitable for her to be in a relationship at this age. But think about it. If you confess first, wouldn’t you be seizing the opportunity? In future, if she ever wants to date, you’ll definitely be the first person she thinks of!”
A girl next to her continued, “That’s right. So this time, we’re just testing the waters. It’s also a setup. Don’t you understand?”
Xu Xi was already so anxious that he felt dizzy. He did not hear a word and stared straight at the door of the private room.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. The waiter waiting at the door held a walkie-talkie and said, “Young Master, the person at the door said that he saw Ms. Chu get out of the car.” With that, he closed the door.
The room was in chaos. Xu Xi stood up again and wanted to pace, but was surrounded by a group of girls who adjusted his collar and pulled his sleeves. Some of the boys were peeking out from the door and watching. Some of them patted Xu Xi on the shoulder and told him not to be nervous and to take a deep breath.
Then, everyone hurriedly returned to their seats, singing and playing games, leaving Xu Xi standing there alone, staring at the door with stiff limbs.
As soon as Chu Ning pushed open the door of the private room, she was shocked by the eyes that were all looking at her. Chu Ning closed the door suspiciously and pushed it open again. “Huh? Did I get the wrong place?”
A girl quickly walked over and held Chu Ning’s arm. “No, you didn’t get the wrong place; we’re waiting for you!”
Xu Xi was still standing there in a daze. A boy casually walked over and hit him on the back. Xu Xi was shocked by the insult. He took a big step forward and shouted loudly, “Chu Ning! I like you!”
Besides Chu Ning, in the private room, everyone got a fright. No one expected the usually-gentle and soft Xu Xi to be louder than the sound of the KTV.
A question mark almost appeared on Chu Ning’s head. She looked at the students around her. “You tricked Xu Xi into drinking? Did he drink too much?”
The girl who was pulling Chu Ning was so embarrassed that her face was about to crack. She received looks from her classmates and explained to Chu Ning calmly, “Love confession. Love confession. Will Little Miss Chu accept Xu Xi?”
Then, she gritted her teeth and pushed Chu Ning in front of Xu Xi. Chu Ning staggered and almost fell at Xu Xi’s feet.
Chu Ning was confused. When she looked up, she saw Xu Xi’s tightly shut eyes and pursed lips. His heroic appearance made Chu Ning laugh.
Chu Ning cleared her throat and pretended to be serious. “Xu Xi! We should put more energy and effort into our studies now! I can’t accept you!”
