Chapter 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?"
