♂?，，

  I didnt respond to him, I just took Xiaoxues hand. Xiaoxue let out a "huh" sound, but I didnt give her time to refuse, and directly pulled her to run out of the classroom. Our movements were too big when we left, so much so that our desk was shifted by a large margin.

  What a huge noise in this quiet classroom!

  Classmates in our class watched with their eyes wide open as we two ran out of the door hand in hand.

  The sunshine falls on our backs, warm and cozy.

  I pulled Xia Xues hand and ran out of the classroom, out of the teaching building. I knew that if Xia Xue struggled, she could definitely break free from my grasp. But she didnt, she let me pull her as we ran, running in this empty campus. We ran all the way to the school gate, which was allowed to go out during class hours. The old man at the gate blocked our path, and I panted and said: "Grandpa, I need to go out, I have an emergency!"

  The old man at the gate looked at me and laughed: "Isnt that the one who was confessing with candles outside the teaching building? This is that girl..."

  Im laughing and crying at the same time, I never thought Id become famous to this extent.

  "It was originally not allowed to go out." The old gatekeeper opened the door and turned his head to one side.

  The meaning was already very clear, I pulled Xia Xues hand and rushed out of the school gate.

  We are still running, not feeling tired at all, keep running and running until we stop by a quiet artificial lake.

  This is the most beautiful place near school, I want to confess again here.

  By the lake, I stood face to face with Xia Xue. Xia Xues running face was red, and she said with a slight scowl: "Whats wrong......"

  "Summer snow." I said heavily: "Be my girlfriend, I will definitely be good to you."

  "Wang Hao." Xia Xue said with particular helplessness: "Didnt I tell you before, I have a boyfriend..."

  "I know what kind of person he is." I said: "He almost changes a girlfriend every day."

  "He has never changed girlfriends." Xia Xue lowered her head and said quietly: "Including me, all those girls were his girlfriends."

  "How is this possible?!" I stared with wide eyes: "How can one person have so many girlfriends at the same time?!"

  "Its true." Xia Xue also felt a bit helpless: "Theres no way, if you want to be Su Xiao Bais girlfriend, you have to tolerate the existence of other girls. This is what he clearly told us when we were with Su Xiao Bai."

  "Is he forcing them?" I sounded particularly anxious. This isnt scientific at all...

  "Theres nothing," Xia Xue said: "It was all our own will."

  This is really unscientific, Su Xiaobai is like an emperor, having so many beautiful girlfriends at the same time? In a situation where most men are still single, one person occupying so many girls is indeed intolerable.

  Seeing my puzzled expression, Xia Xue explained: "Su Xiao Bai is the kind of guy that girls will fall in love with at first sight, and there are absolutely not a few girls who would die for him. I dont know why, but he has a kind of magic power that makes us girls fall deeply in love with him. Even if... even if he already has other girlfriends..."

  After hearing Xia Xues words, I almost vomited blood: "My god, are we crazy? Su Xiao Bai is just a bit more handsome, is it worth it?" I used to think that Su Xiao Bai was just changing girlfriends frequently, but I didnt expect him to be in love with so many girls at the same time!

  Having Su Xiaobai by your side is a matter of great pride. Xia Xue lowered her head: "All the girls will cast envious glances. Being with him makes you the center of attention."

  I couldnt help it.

  I grasped Xia Xues shoulders with both hands and shook her head desperately, just like the boss of Yuzuki Flying Internet Cafe.

  "Wake up, wake up, thats just satisfying our vanity, in fact, we may not love him that much!" From the perspective of an onlooker, I can roughly understand the psychology of these girls. Its like the "atmosphere infection method" often used by pyramid schemes - seeing people around them crazily infatuated with this boy, they will unconsciously imitate their behavior. Most humans have a herd mentality, and Su Xiaobais handsomeness and elegance can indeed conquer many girls hearts. The more people who like him, the more people will be drawn to him.

  Xia Xue didnt say a word, and her eyes showed some confusion.

  "Listen," I said: "I ask, looking at Su Xiaobai and other girls together, will you feel jealous?"

  "No way," Xia Xue said: "Isnt that whats supposed to happen? Su Xiao Bai is so handsome, of course everyone wants to fight over being his girlfriend."

  "Thats right." I snapped my fingers: "Loving someone, of course, is wanting to possess him. How can you bear to see him with another girl without being jealous? This alone proves that you dont love him at all."

  "I love him," Xia Xue said. "We were in the same school since junior high, I collected a lot of his photos and wrote many, many love letters to him. Seeing the girls around him not being pretty enough would make me angry, thinking that such girls are not worthy of Su Xiao Bai."

  "There is no cure for fools."

  Xia Xue, at this age, is an idol-chasing girl. Su Xiao Bai is the idol of many girls including Xia Xue, but not necessarily the one they want to spend their lives with. In their hearts, Su Xiao Bai is flawless, like a movie star.

  I think Ive found the answer.

  "What did you say? Whos brain-dead?!" Xia Xue glared at me angrily.

  "Its okay, its okay." I patted Xiaoxues hair again, and I was really getting used to it. She didnt dodge either. Then I said confidently: "I will definitely make her understand that love is not Su Xiaobai."

  "Then who do I love?" Xia Xue asked in confusion.

  "I." I pointed at my own nose.

  "I, love?" Xia Xue burst out laughing: "Wang Hao, I admit that youre a very good friend. I do like being with you, but saying that I love you is just not possible at all. Ive liked Su Xiao Bai for many years already."

  "So what." I said with a smirk: "Ive liked Andy Lau for many years, and didnt think of having the same sex as him either."

  "Its not the same." Xia Xue shook her head, apparently she still hadnt noticed the problem.

  "Just you wait and see." I already had a plan in mind, all that was left was to put it into action. However, time was running out, so I could only speed up. Changing the subject, Xia Xue and I strolled along the lake shore. Along the way, I took her hand, and she hesitated for a moment before not pulling away.

  "If you dont like me, why did you still hold my hand?"

  "Im afraid of getting angry," Xia Xue said, "Im especially afraid of seeing an angry face. Earlier in the classroom, staring at me with a blank expression really scared me. When hitting Zou Yang, it was that same gaze."

  "Im sorry." I apologized sincerely for scaring Xia Xue badly.

  "Its okay." Xia Xue smiled and said: "Wang Hao, when you confessed to me at the bottom of the teaching building, I almost impulsively accepted it when I walked over. But thinking of Su Xiao Bai, I still ruthlessly rejected it. At that time, I was really afraid of losing this friend!"

  Xia Xue kept saying that we were just friends, but we held hands and strolled along the lake. To outsiders, its unlikely that were not a couple, right? In fact, even I myself am a bit confused - what exactly constitutes being in a relationship?

  We strolled around for a while before slowly heading back to school. The gatekeeper smiled so hard his eyebrows were about to curve when he saw us return. I knew he must have thought I had already made it happen, but only I knew the bitterness within. When we returned to the classroom, it was just in time for the end of class. My classmates were originally making a ruckus, but they all quieted down when they saw us two calm down. I knew they must have thought that Xiaoxue and I were already together, but only I knew the bitterness within.

  Back to his seat, Liu Zihong said mysteriously: "Hao Ge, awesome! We guys all thought Rong was the first one to defeat Su Xiaobai in City High, and indeed, hes irresistibly charming. When will you treat us brothers to a meal?"

  "I dont have any money." I joked with him: "Zou Yang has money, you can go find him instead."

  Liu Zihongs face turned bright red and he didnt say anything else.

  I seem to have become a celebrity in school.

  The first reason I became famous was because I beat up Hong Li. Although Hong Li wasnt one of the top bosses in the school, he was the number one thug under Mai Zis command. The news that I had beaten up Hong Li slowly spread throughout the entire school, and many students in my grade would give me a look of avoidance when they saw me. I felt like I was on the same level as Ye Zhan and Li Jie, those big shots. Oh wait, Im not a thug, I still genuinely dislike that term. But to others, it seemed that way, so I gained a few followers who probably hoped that if something happened, I would be able to protect them.

  Among these little followers, except for Liu Zihong who is in the same class as me, the others are boys from other classes. The boys in my class arent uninterested in following me, its just that whenever I think of how they used to gang up with Zou Yang to bully me, I get really annoyed, so I dont even bother to interact with them. Liu Zihong is relatively good, at least he never kicked me when I was down and always helped me pass messages at critical moments. As for my dormitory classmates, we only occasionally hang out together.

  However, several roommates in the dormitory were very proud of me, and they went around boasting about how I beat Zou Yang, how I beat Hong Li, and how I handled Xia Xue, as if they had all witnessed it with their own eyes. One night, I was lying on my bed in the dormitory, preparing to sleep, when a roommate suddenly rushed in, crying and saying: "Hao Ge, Ive been beaten up, you have to help me."

  "Whats going on? Tell me slowly." I leisurely hung the washed socks on the railing and yawned, pretending to be drowsy.

  "Tonight, while I was getting food in the cafeteria, I accidentally stepped on someones foot. At the time, I didnt apologize to him, so he scolded me a few times, and I also scolded him back a few times. Later, everyone dispersed. I thought it wasnt a big deal, but after evening self-study, he dragged me into the bathroom and beat me up." This classmates face was bruised and swollen, and it seemed like they were indeed seriously injured. The resentment in their heart couldnt be any greater.

  "Hmm." I said: "Go find Li Jie, isnt he our class leader?"

  "Now were the oldest in our class." This classmate said with a humble tone: "Besides, Li Jie only recognizes money, if you dont have money, he wont care about you."

  "Haha, you think Ill definitely help?" I coldly smiled at this classmate, thinking back to when they helped Zou Yang bully me.

  "Hao Ge, they all say hes a good person, they all say he has a kind heart." The classmate cried with a sad face: "You must help me. That man said that every time he sees me, he will beat me up once, I dont know what to do!"

  I ignored him and picked up a book to read.

  "Hao Ge......" This classmate almost cried out and kept shaking my leg.

  I looked at him again, and his wretched face had a few tears on it, which was quite pitiful.

  Forget it.

  I threw down the book, jumped off the bed and put on slippers.

  "Lets go."

  I followed that classmate into another dormitory, also our first year of high school. The atmosphere in the dormitory was originally quite good, and as soon as I entered, they saw my appearance clearly, and the atmosphere immediately froze to a freezing point.

  I sat down on a nearby bed and asked my classmate, "Who hit you?"

  "Thats him!"

  "Hmm." I took a closer look at the man and indeed he was big and sturdy, probably a match for Zou Yang. I was definitely no match for him.

  "So I said: You know what to do yourself."

  Classmates heard that, immediately kicked one foot over, directly kicking the student from the bed to the ground, and the washing water was all spilled.

  "Isnt that awesome? Awesome!" The classmate kicked the student hard: "My Hao brother is here, if you have the ability, try to be awesome again!"

  That student was lying on the ground, being punched and kicked by his classmates, not even daring to lift a hand in defense, while still saying "Im wrong, Im wrong".

  I stared at them in shock. Actually, just now I was sure that I couldnt beat this student, so I had planned to let my classmate apologize to him and we would shake hands and make up, which is why I said "you know what to do", but it seems like my classmate misunderstood, thinking I was backing him up, letting him hit freely, and with a bold and reckless kick, he kicked out.

  Damn, this is going to get someone killed! That sturdy student can totally take us down, and this is their dormitory, as soon as the door closes, well be lambs on the chopping block! But that student didnt fight back, and the other students in the dorm just stood there quietly, no one came out to mediate or stand up for him. My classmate thoroughly thrashed that student, saying with a swagger: "Remember, our class leader is Hao Ge, so watch where youre walking from now on! Damn, dont be blind!" As if he had been stepped on.

  The spilled foot-washing water spread all over the floor, and everyone in the dormitory showed a frightened gaze. My classmate and I walked out inexplicably.

  Back in my dormitory, my roommate excitedly said: "Hao Ge, thank you. If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have known what to do..."

  "Its okay, its okay......" I waved my hand, and could only say that.

  The others in the dormitory swarmed over, asking about what had just happened to their classmate.

  “…Hao Ge is so intimidating, just sitting there, none of them dare to breathe, its like theyre in a morgue! My classmate went on and on: "It was Hao Ge who gave me endless confidence and courage, allowing me to avenge this great injustice. Whats the point of Zhou Yang or Li Jie? Theyre nothing compared to Hao Ge, hes the most reliable one. From now on, Ill be Hao Ges most loyal little brother!"

  The others in the dormitory cast respectful glances at me, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

  After that, several classmates from other classes came to me one after another, most of whom were bullied by others. Every time I sat there, no one dared to make a sound. I suddenly felt that being a thug wasnt that difficult, as long as you made a name for yourself in one battle, and then just put on a poker face and pretend to be expressionless and icy for the rest of the time.

  At the very least, my reputation in the first year of high school quickly became popular, and wherever I went, there were always a few younger brothers following me, almost as famous as Ye Zhan and Li Jie.

  The second reason for my popularity was the confession in front of the teaching building. That really shook the entire campus, and for a time, from teachers to students, from security guards to cleaning workers, no one didnt know me, wherever I went, there were people pointing and whispering.

  "Look, thats the student who was holding candles and roses in front of the teaching building to confess his love. I heard it wasnt successful though, the girl didnt even acknowledge him."

  "Its really him, what a pity there were too many people last time and we couldnt see his true face, this time we finally get to see him in person."

  "Our school also has such romantic boys, how could that girl not like him? If it were me, I would have thrown myself at him long ago!"
