chapter 1020
40. But You Are a Good Person
You know: the school rules clearly state that anyone who climbs the teaching building without permission will receive a serious demerit! If a patrolling teacher catches you, good grief, you would be violating school rules and engaging in early romance, facing multiple penalties. Wouldn’t ‘t that lead to expulsion?
You even began to doubt whether this new book was real; did that girl, who was even braver than you, really wait for you on the rooftop of the teaching building? Did she exist or not? Could it all just be a prank by someone who disliked you?
You spent the entire day in class pondering this, wondering whether to pretend nothing happened and leave directly after school, enjoying your ordinary student life, or…
Do something, because there was a thought that occasionally bubbled up inside you, telling you to “take a risk,” to seek the “unknown.” You wanted to know what awaited you on that rooftop—was it a divine beauty who would make you feel like luck was hitting you in the face, or the angry shout of the duty teacher below, “I’m going to catch you!”
So, by the end of your last class today, you had made your decision.
At the end of the school day, while the teacher was still present and no one dared to make a fuss, you were the first to escape the classroom. You avoided everyone’s gaze as much as possible, quietly hiding in the restroom until most of the students had left the school.
Then, you confirmed that the duty teacher had not yet begun patrolling, and you made your way to the teaching building where you had agreed to meet the letter’s owner. At the door leading to the rooftop, the iron chains that should have been tightly wound were mysteriously gone. Realizing this, you found it hard to breathe.
Perhaps, it really wasn’t anyone’s prank.
Perhaps… someone was truly waiting for you at the end of the stairs behind this door.
Ordinary you seemed to gain some courage, suddenly feeling less afraid. You took a deep breath, carefully closed the iron door, climbed the stairs, and then… quietly arrived at the rooftop of the teaching building.
An empty rooftop, which was to be expected, after all, your school wouldn’t turn the rooftop into a romantic kissing spot like in “Two-spined ape.” However, in your line of sight, you…
Indeed found a girl waiting for you.
Her long black hair clearly violated school rules, but she was wearing the school uniform well. At first glance, she seemed so “unreal”—you felt as if she wasn’t a student at your school, as if she… didn’t ‘t belong here at all.
How rude, you thought, and hurriedly shook off the wild thoughts in your mind. After all, just one look, and you knew very well: the girl in front of you, whether in appearance, temperament, or behavior, far surpassed you, this ordinary student. If she really wrote the letter to find you, then it should be you who was now groveling like a sycophant.
Being beautiful and having a good temperament allows one to do as they please. However, you began to doubt: you had never heard of anyone in school who was even more outstanding than the school belle; was she… a student of this school ?
You didn’t have time to think about it, as the girl had already noticed you.
She turned around, tucking some messy hair behind her ear, and her gaze made you feel a sense of “nostalgia.”
“I finally waited for you, XXX.”
I… do we know each other? I don’t remember ever meeting a girl like you!
You were just about to say this when the girl immediately blurted out something strange.
“This is a long-overdue greeting, I love you~”
“Cough cough cough!”
You almost lost your balance!
Is this some kind of new truth-or-dare game!? The kind where a goddess and a rich handsome guy play games, and then the goddess finds a loser to test their courage! In short, the one who gets hurt is the loser !
Alright, the persecution is over, the rich handsome guy should be coming out now!
However… you waited, but there was no rich handsome guy running towards this girl with a smile, and then the two of them throwing you aside to perform their annual soap opera in front of you.
A terrifying possibility flashed through your mind: could it… be real?
Wait, if this girl seriously just said that, then that’s too terrifying! This meeting is clearly her first encounter, and a girl who says “I love you” on the first meeting? She’s definitely a “yandere”!
This isn’t some cringy scenario; although you do think this mysterious girl is more perfect than all the so-called “class beauties” you’ve ever seen, you still can’t help but feel a bit scared.
In reality, a yandere, can… can that even be called a yandere?
You feel like you should say something.
“I… I still don’t know who you are.”
“That’s okay~”
Is this really an okay matter!?
You’re even more flustered now.
Because next, the girl completely ignored your unfamiliar attitude and continued, “Actually, I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time, a very long time…”
No matter how you look at it, this is clearly the opening line for “that kind of thing,” but… you and she really don’t know each other at all, making everything seem very strange.
“XXX, I… love you. If I say it like this, would you accept it?”
Everyone here is a student who has received a basic education. The word “love” is worlds apart from the youthful, restless “like” or “confession”!
Perhaps due to excessive panic, you instead calmed down.
The situation before you, no matter how you look at it, seems like “a stroke of good luck falling from the sky,” but you… do not want to accept such an outcome. Afraid? Nervous? Or is it some other reason?
You can’t figure it out. In any case, it seems like there has always been something hidden deep in your heart, bothering you, leading you to choose rejection.
“I’m sorry, we don’t know each other at all, and… I don’t have such thoughts for now.”
Is this something an ordinary student should do to a beautiful girl who probably can’t even complete her dreams? You can’t make sense of it, but you can only respond this way, then watch as the other person shows a faint bitter smile , shakes her head, and mutters something strange to herself.
“Ah… as expected.”
As expected… what?
The girl did not respond to you, only looking behind you.
“The supervising teacher is about to start their rounds, you should head back early.”
“And you…”
The girl squinted: “What, can’t I be left alone for a while?”
Please!
In every aspect, you are in the wrong, and you don’t dare to continue babbling in front of the girl, so you hurriedly left the rooftop of the teaching building. While pondering who she really is, you took advantage of the fact that the supervising teacher hadn’t arrived yet, returned to the classroom, found your hidden backpack, and prepared to leave.
For you, although it stirred a slight ripple, it should just be an ordinary day.
You think you are just an ordinary student.
Perhaps… this thought is what drives you to reject the recent “ripple”? Or perhaps… it’s because you feel that the girl just now…
You should reject her?
You hurriedly left the teaching building, walking towards the school gate.
From a high place, a gaze has been fixed on you.
“She’s gone to you.”
“Consider it a win for once.”
“Miss.”
