Shangguan Wan walked in front of Ye Yanfeng, raising her chin at him. “Let’s talk privately.”
The boys behind him all started to cheer.
Shangguan Wan had been nervous from the beginning and she could already feel the butterflies in her stomach. With this, she felt like her heart was going to jump out of her throat. However, her expression remained calm, no one knew how crazily her heart was beating.
She didn’t know why her heart was beating so quickly either.
Wasn’t she just confessing?
Ye Yanfeng stared at Shangguan Wan, who did her best to act calm. He raised his eyebrow slightly, smirking as his tone was slightly teasing. “Give me a reason for us to talk privately!”
Shangguan Wan cursed at him in her heart.
Naturally she wanted to talk to him about something!
Shangguan Wan clenched her fists. “I’m not very patient, so you’d better come over quickly.” With that said, she left for a corner of the field where no one was at.
The boys behind him said something that she could not hear carefully, but she heard their despicable laughter.
As the faint breeze blew at her, Shangguan Wan felt her cheeks heating up a little.
They were really an annoying bunch of boys!
As Shangguan Wan stood at the deserted corner with her back facing the boys, she clenched her fists tightly, slowly becoming nervous unconsciously.
In this moment, she actually felt more afraid and nervous than when she was being tested for her training in camp.
Playing with her feet, Shangguan Wan took a few breaths before her heart beat finally calmed down.
After a few minutes, Shangguan Wan still had not heard any footsteps from behind her. She furrowed her eyebrows a little, did that devil senior not come?
Shangguan Wan hurriedly turned around.
But because she turned her head too quickly, she immediately bumped into a hard chest.
Looking up, she saw the teenager that had unknowingly appeared behind her, her eyes constricted a little. “Y-Y-You…”
“Ha.” The teenager placed his hands in his pockets, staring at Shangguan Wan with devilish and playful eyes and a raised eyebrow. He said lazily, “I didn’t think you would be a stammerer.”
“I don’t stammer!” Shangguan Wan’s face flushed completely.
After she shouted, Shangguan Wan felt that something was wrong again.
She came to confess to him, not to fight with him!
Ye Yanfeng stared as her face flushed like a peach, bursting out into laughter. “Girl, what are you thinking about?”
Finally, it was a nickname that she was more comfortable with!
Shangguan Wan took a deep breath, saying firmly, “I want to be your girlfriend.”
The teenager acted like he had heard some nice joke, the smile on his lips deepening. He looked even better when he smiled, the sunlight shining on his face like he was covered in a golden hue. However, what he said next threw Shangguan Wan into the depths of Hell. “I don’t like fake dudes.”
That’s it! Shangguan Wan wanted to punch him!
She clenched her fists tightly, doing her best to calm her emotions. “How am I a fake dude?”
Ye Yanfeng’s pretty eyes narrowed slightly. “All of the girls that confess to me have to have long hair, be feminine, gentle and wear skirts, nothing like you…”
When Shangguan Wan heard his request, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly.
It was true that she had short hair, wasn’t gentle or feminine and wore pants. It seemed like she fulfilled none of his criteria.
“Girl, you should study properly instead.” With that said, he left.
Shangguan Wan stared at his slender back, biting her lips as she fell into deep thought.
…
When it was almost the end of the school day, Chen Wan found out about Shangguan Wan’s failed confession and said with a tilt of her head, “I think that you still have a chance.”
Shangguan Wan was resting her head on the table. She did not like that narcissist, so why was she feeling so disappointed and bad from being rejected?
However, she felt this way from the moment he had rejected her.
“Xiao Wan, don’t give up! You can change yourself! Besides, Senior treats you quite specially. Do you remember what he told me when I confessed to him? Turn around, take ten steps towards the rubbish bin, thank you.
“Also, he would usually say these things to girls when he rejects them. Your rejection was different, so aren’t you more special?”
Shangguan Wan looked up at Chen Wan, considering her words quietly.
After school, Chen Wan dragged Shangguan Wan towards a beauty salon.
“The first point is that you have short hair, but you can put on extensions instead of waiting for your hair to grow out!”
Chen Wan pushed Shangguan Wan into the salon. “If you put on extensions, you can have long and pretty hair.”
Shangguan Wan furrowed her eyebrows. “I still have to cut it when I return to camp!”
“It’s alright if you cut it then, you can let Senior be amazed by you now!” Since Chen Wan was close to Shangguan Wan, she noticed that Shangguan Wan was actually very pretty. It was a type of prettiness that was bright and sunny, healthy and energetic. However, because she had been in camps for too long, she didn’t know how to dress herself up like a girl more. Also, with the cool aura on her, normal boys wouldn’t be able to tame her!
She spent a few hours to extend her hair, having fallen asleep halfway through. Chen Wan had to pat her shoulder to wake her up eventually.
Shangguan Wan opened her eyes, jumping in shock when she saw the long-haired girl in the mirror and her mouth dropped open.
“Xiao Wan, you look really pretty with long hair! I think my position as the prettiest girl in class would be taken by you!””
When Shangguan Wan had long hair, her face appeared to be smaller, her eyes larger and more doe-like, clear and bright like a lake under moonlight.
Once they were done at the salon, Chen Wan brought Shangguan Wan to a tailor shop.
She brought out Shangguan Wan’s uniform skirt.
“Chen Wan, I’m not used to wearing skirts.”
“Xiao Wan, now that you have long hair, you would be pretty if you wear skirts. Besides, you’re from the military camp, so your figure would be a lot better than us normal girls. You would definitely look very good in a skirt.”
Chen Wan got the tailor to alter the hem of Shangguan Wan’s skirt to end above her knees.
“Xiao Wan, you must wear the skirt, leather shoes and knee-length socks to school!”
…
The next day.
Shangguan Wan didn’t cycle to school, getting her driver to drop her off at a spot five hundred meters away from school before she walked over.
While she was walking to school, she kept her head bowed, using her long hair to cover her face.
When she entered the school gates, she noticed several students glancing at her.
This was so embarrassing! She walked faster towards her classroom.
In the meantime, several teenagers in white shirts passed by her on their bicycles, and she bowed her head even more, hurrying into the classroom.
…
When she arrived at her classroom, apart from Chen Wan, all of her other classmates were in shock.
Her current appearance was completely different from how she looked like usually. No one expected her to look so good once she dolled herself up a little.
After class, Chen Wan sprawled on Shangguan Wan’s table. “Xiao Wan, did you see everyone’s reaction? They were all surprised by you, so your confession this time will definitely be successful!”
Shangguan Wan sucked in a deep breath and nodded. “I’ll definitely bully him back for what he did to me!”
…
After class, Ye Yanfeng leaned against the railing outside of his classroom. Several boys were laughing and playing around beside him, but he had his earphones on as he stared into space, his side profile looking exceptionally melancholic.
For the first time, Shangguan Wan realized that he didn’t look as happy as he appeared to be.
At that moment, she still didn’t understand why.
Shangguan Wan got another senior to pass the message for her. “Can you call Young Master Feng over for me?”
