Chapter 79: Confession

  Another class has passed, Li Xiaobai stretched his arms and finally returned to rest.

  The bell rang, and Guo Jing completely inherited Xia Xiner's style, not even waiting for her good friend to leave the classroom. It was rare that Xia Xiner, who had always been relatively positive, didn't rush to leave this time.

  Because of this, in the last class, Xia Xiner fell asleep with her head on the desk.

  Her long hair covered her bright face, from Li Xiaobai's angle, only a rough outline could be seen, but it also gave people a feeling of half covering their face like holding a pipa. It was like the psychology of wanting to lift up the red veil of the bride on the wedding night.

  This guy is really a perfect girl when she's quiet. Speaking of which, it's almost like that, Xia Xiner has always given people a very quiet and cold feeling, if not for sitting at the same table with her, occasionally her poisonous tongue can't even be heard by herself.

  "Xia Xiner, class is over, are you still sleeping?" After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaobai still poked Xia Xiner.

  It seems that he was indeed too kind. Like last time, when he woke up, the classroom was almost empty, and neither Guo Jing nor Xia Xiang'er had woken him up. Now, facing this situation, he still lent a helping hand.

  There's no way around it, after all they're desk mates. If Xia Xiner really has a cold and infects him, that would be terrible.

  Slowly opening her eyes, in an instant, Xia Xiner immediately woke up.

  "You didn't do anything while I was asleep, did you?" The speaker's eyes gleamed with a wary light.

  "Just take a look at the class, you're still sleeping, just being kind." Li Xiaobai retorted in a bad mood, "I'm leaving first."

  Xia Xiner's reaction just now can hurt good people, it's better to go back and reflect on it.

  "Hey, Xiao Bai..."

  Li Xiaobai had just stood up when a male voice came over and, as it did, his left hand naturally landed on Li Xiaobai's shoulder.

  Don't be so presumptuous as a good friend! Li Xiaobai slightly bent his body and suddenly flung open the other person's arm.

  "What's up?"

  There is only one boy in this class who can talk to Li Xiaobai with this tone.

  Zhao Liang, roommate of the same dormitory.

  Unlike another roommate Chen Heng, because she knows how to ask for favors with a smile, so in various ways, she is more difficult to deal with than Chen Heng.

  "Let's head back to the dorm together," Zhao Liang said with a familiar tone, and then suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent, "Ah, Xiang'er classmate hasn't left yet, why don't we walk together?"

  What a joke! The boys' and girls' dormitories are on completely different roads, okay?

  It turns out that this guy had already asked Li Xiaobai last night and at noon today, but he also knew a little about Xia Xiang'er's character, and Li Xiaobai didn't agree. Plus, there was Chen Miao's extreme example, to be honest, he lost interest in playing matchmaker.

  However, Zhao Liang is indeed more difficult to deal with than Chen Huan. He doesn't seem to mind Li Xiaobai's rejection. In his words, "A good girl fears being pestered by a man." Since Li Xiaobai has never had a girlfriend and has never chased after a girl before, he doesn't know whether this statement is true or not. But now the object of your pestering is obviously me, can you please change direction first?

  However, to be honest, relationships between males are also not easy to handle, especially in a dormitory.

  When encountering this type of situation, Li Xiaobai was somewhat at a loss.

  "I don't mind, it's just a slight detour," Li Xiaobai looked at Xia Xiang'er, "The key is whether Xiang'er agrees or not?"

  "Alright..."

  This sentence not only made Zhao Liang extremely happy but also exceeded Li Xiaobai's expectations.

  I thought Xia Xiner would directly refuse, but in reality she agreed directly.

  Come to think of it, girls' thoughts are hard to guess anyway. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been bullied by a girl in the third year of junior high school.

  This trio combination shocked Li Xiaobai and also attracted the attention of all his classmates who had not left yet.

  "Zhao Liang actually succeeded, is this for real?"

  "Some girls are cold on the outside but hot on the inside, who knows?" Another classmate said, "Besides, Zhao Liang doesn't look bad either. Although he's not as popular as Tang Feng, since they're good friends, he also gets quite a bit of attention."

  "But Li Xiaobai is also following along, it's really annoying to look at."

  "On a first date, girls are always a bit shy, it's less awkward with more people around."

  "Shouldn't there be one more girl?"

  “……”

  According to Li Xiaobai's observation, if there are two boys and one girl walking together, except for the situation where two of them have already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, generally speaking, the girl walks in the middle, and the boys walk on both sides.

  This time was different, after going downstairs, Zhao Liang wanted to get close to Xia Xiang'er, but Xia Xiang'er almost brutally pushed Li Xiao Bai to the middle. As a result, Zhao Liang wanted to talk to Xia Xiang'er and had to stretch his neck, feeling strange all along.

  When deciding whether to slow down and slip away, Xia Xiang'er seemed to have noticed something, looked at Li Xiaobai and said, "You'd better not leave, I still want to talk to you about something later."

  I don't think it's necessary for the two of them to have a private conversation after class, but Xia Xinger has already said so, and Li Xiaobai can't just leave like that.

  "Hey, Xiang'er, I heard that neither you nor Li Xiaobai have joined any study groups. What's going on?" Li Xiaobai was present, and Chen Miao felt a bit embarrassed, deciding to change the subject for now.

  "Isn't Li Xiaobai in the same dorm as you?" Xia Xiang'er walked straight, without even tilting her head, "You two seem to get along pretty well, why don't you just ask him?"

  What's with this inexplicable irony?

  Zhao Liang couldn't hear it, but Li Xiaobai did after a while.

  But now I'm playing the role of a bridge, and once the bridge is built, it has no use, so what I need to do now is not to make both parties feel awkward, just keep quiet.

  "He's like that," Zhao Liang said somewhat at a loss for words. "Although I get along with him, Xiao Bai rarely speaks in the dormitory."

  However, it seems like Xia Xiang'er is not interested in this at all and didn't continue saying anything.

  "Hey, help out a bit." Zhao Liang said, pushing Li Xiaobai slightly from an angle where Xia Xinger couldn't see.

  Even if you say so, couldn't you hear Xia Xiang'er's tone just now?

  Why ask me, just ask others, how would I know, do you need to care? Generally speaking, when a girl speaks in this tone, it means she's very impatient and doesn't want to answer at all. This experience comes from Tao Huan's usual conversations with him.

  At this time continuing to speak, the girl can only be more impatient?

  "Why don't we talk about club invitations and such..."

  "Li Xiaobai, are you idle?" Hearing this, Xia Xiang'er turned her head around, her eyes somewhat unfriendly.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, he was blamed by the other party. Next, Li Xiaobai decided not to get involved again.

  However, inspired by this, Zhao Liang has a new topic again.

  "Yeah, the flying model club I'm in is having a flight competition next week. Want to come check it out?" Zhao Liang gradually took a step ahead of Li Xiaobai, allowing himself to see Xia Xinger, "Some of the model airplanes are made by everyone themselves, it's quite interesting."

  "Airplane model group..."

  "Yes, it's Tang Feng's group when he was a team leader. The group is very big and the atmosphere inside is quite good..."

  As soon as he heard it was a good opportunity, Zhao Liang started introducing himself in a manner similar to reciting a textbook.

  "I kind of want to go, but I still can't," Xia Xiner stopped in front of the girls' dormitory building, "because I'm afraid of heights."

  This excuse is also too poor, Li Xiaobai turned his face away, almost laughing out loud.

  "Hmm...I see..." Zhao Liang didn't laugh, but for a moment, he also didn't know what to say.

  In front of the girls' dormitory, every girl who passes by will take a few glances here. After all, Xia Xiner is really popular, and it's hard not to attract attention.

  "The dormitory building has arrived, I went in first."

  Xia Xiang'er said with a glance at Li Xiaobai.

  "Wait a minute..."

  Zhao Liang finally mustered up the courage and took a deep breath, but under Xia Xiner's gaze, it quickly dissipated.

  "Zhao Liang, I like boys who are brave," Xia Xiner stopped in her tracks, "So, what's going on that you can tell me directly?"

  Perhaps it was this sentence that gave Zhao Liang the courage, and he looked at Xia Xiner, blurting out, "Xia Xiner, I like you. I've liked you since I saw you. I started liking you as soon as I came to this class. I like you during class, I like you after class..."

  Before they knew it, the crowd had gathered and everyone stopped to stare at the three people in the arena. To be exact, they were staring at Xia Xiang'er who was shining brighter than the moonlight, as well as Zhao Liang who was in the midst of confessing.

  "Oh my god, how romantic..."

  "Are those words what he thought of himself? I'd like my boyfriend to copy them."

  “……”

  Even Li Xiaobai was somewhat surprised, and when it came to arguing with others, whether male or female, he had reached the point where he could match them without giving in. However, Zhao Liang's confessions were something that couldn't be imagined, let alone spoken out loud.

  After finishing speaking in one breath, Zhao Liang let out a thorough sigh of relief before lifting his head to look at Xia Xiang'er.

  At this time, the surroundings automatically fell into silent mode, and all the focus was on Xia Xiner.

  This inexplicable tension is what's going on, seeing everyone like this, Li Xiaobai actually also felt the same way.

  "What you said is not the real me, so what you like is just an imaginary Xia Xiner, not the real Xia Xiner. Sorry, I can't accept it." Xia Xiner waved her hand to stop Zhao Liang from explaining something, "These are not the most important things, the most important thing is that I already have someone I like."

  "Have someone you like?" Zhao Liang murmured, "I haven't seen you interact with anyone."

  "We're already dating, it's just that others don't know about it yet." Xia Xiang'er said softly but firmly, "So this time, let's just forget about it and not have a next time. I'm not the type to be moved by confessions, the more you confess, the more I'll dislike something. Right now, we're still classmates, you wouldn't want me to transfer classes or schools, would you?"

  "This..."

  "Li Xiaobai, send your roommate back home?"

  After saying this, Xia Xiner walked out of the crowd and left first.

  Finally knew why Xia Xiner had to follow him, because Zhao Liang's confession would definitely fail.

  It's just that Xia Xiner already has someone she likes, and it really can't be seen.

  Girls hide is just deep.
