Chapter 20 Livestream Hell SceneAfter Wen Yufeng finished speaking, the silence in that part of the classroom gradually spread throughout the entire class. The students in the back, who were still somewhat confused, also didn’t say anything; they just widened their eyes and watched the scene unfold.
Qin Qing, after hearing what Wen Yufeng said, blinked in surprise for a few seconds before softly asking, “Is this the favor you want me to do?”
Whether it was due to nervousness or some other emotion, Qin Qing’s voice even carried a bit of an unintentional stutter.
Wen Yufeng, who had been feeling down since the previous night, suddenly found himself in a brighter mood. The corners of his lips lifted even more.
“Yes.”
He leaned over the girl’s desk, his voice low and husky, carrying an almost hypnotic tone, perhaps unintentionally, “Come on… call me.”
“……”
Li Xiang, who had been following along earlier, was now utterly dumbfounded by the scene before him. He didn’t know how others felt, but as a fellow guy, he had to admit—Yufeng’s voice at this moment had a certain irresistible charm that could make one’s bones turn to jelly.
And Qin Qing, being the one directly targeted, not only had to endure the impact of this deep voice but also had to face those slightly dangerous dark eyes.
After hesitating for only two seconds, Qin Qing chose to follow her biological instinct for avoidance. She slowly shook her head and pushed the Chinese textbook back towards Wen Yufeng’s hand.
“I won’t.”
“……”
Wen Yufeng’s dark eyes immediately seemed to darken further, as if they had been stained with ink. He stared straight at her until Qin Qing lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze.
Something dim and unreadable flickered in his eyes. Wen Yufeng let out a soft laugh, straightened up, and released his hold on the book, allowing it to fall completely onto the desk.
“Forget it, then.”
He sounded indifferent and nonchalant as he turned on his heel and walked out of the classroom without looking back.
Li Xiang, who had been frozen in place, suddenly snapped out of it and hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up. As he passed by Qin Qing, he didn’t forget to give her a thumbs-up.
“Impressive,” Li Xiang mouthed to her.
“……”
Qin Qing sat there, her lips pressed together as she lowered her small head. She looked at the brand-new Chinese textbook lying in front of her. After a long moment, she slowly reached out and picked it up.
Meanwhile, outside the classroom, Li Xiang caught up with Wen Yufeng. Just as he was about to turn towards the stairs, he stopped in his tracks. He looked up in the opposite direction—
The person who had just walked out of the classroom with an indifferent attitude was now standing by the window, his eyes deep and pensive. Between his long, slender fingers was an unlit cigarette.
Li Xiang was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen Wen Yufeng take out a cigarette at school—even though it wasn’t lit.
In his impression, although Wen Yufeng was regarded by both teachers and students as the most unruly student, he had never actually broken any rules except for skipping classes.
—According to Wen Yufeng, once he had paid all his tuition fees, whether or not he attended class or studied was a personal choice that had nothing to do with the school.
But aside from that, whether it was wearing the school uniform or following the no-smoking and no-fighting rules, Wen Yufeng had never violated them on school grounds.
So today…
The more Li Xiang thought about it, the more he felt something was off. He cautiously approached Wen Yufeng and softly asked, “Yufeng?”
“…”
After a few seconds, Wen Yufeng silently shifted his gaze back to Li Xiang, his dark eyes filled with deep, unreadable emotions.
This expression made Li Xiang’s heart skip a beat, but he didn’t dare let his feelings show. Instead, he cautiously asked, “Yufeng… are you serious about the new student?”
Wen Yufeng remained silent.
Li Xiang swallowed hard. “But it seems like there’s quite a… big difference between her and us.”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiang felt a pang of guilt. The difference wasn’t just “quite big”—it was enormous. The new student was a top-tier student, adored by all the teachers, a model student who had skipped a grade. She seemed like someone who would never cross paths with them. Especially with someone like Yufeng…
Just thinking about what it would be like if the two of them ended up together and how the teachers would react made Li Xiang shudder. Even Old Fu might lose his mind.
“How big?” Wen Yufeng suddenly asked, snapping Li Xiang out of his thoughts.
Li Xiang blinked, caught off guard. “Uh, what?”
“Never mind,” Wen Yufeng said, his gaze drifting away as a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He slipped his hands into his pockets and started walking towards the stairwell. “Let’s go.”
…
The school wasn’t very big, and thanks to the tireless efforts of the teachers to promote the news, it didn’t take long for word to spread throughout the high school that Qin Qing had skipped a grade into the second year. With her previous reputation as a “little prodigy” and her striking appearance, she quickly gained attention in all the classes.
However, after the incident with the borrowed book, and without Wen Yufeng’s regular attention, Qin Qing’s life gradually returned to the peaceful state she was used to, thanks to her personality.
About a week after entering the second year, on an ordinary school day, Qin Qing received a call early in the morning from an unfamiliar number.
“Hello, is this Qin Qing?” The voice on the other end was cheerful and excited.
Qin Qing was startled for a moment before she realized who it was. “Zhuo Anke?”
The girl on the other end giggled. “It’s been a week since I last contacted you—I was worried you’d already forgotten about me!”
“Of course not…” Qin Qing smiled slightly. “What made you think to contact me today?”
“Because I heard something about you today,” Zhuo Anke replied with a laugh, then lowered her voice conspiratorially. “I heard you’re in the same class as our school tyrant, Wen Yufeng?!”
Qin Qing froze at the mention of that name. After a few seconds, she replied softly, “Yes.”
“That’s convenient!” Zhuo Anke laughed again. “Doesn’t that mean you can get close to him easily?”
“…” Qin Qing was taken aback, blinking in confusion. “But we’re just ordinary classmates.”
“Ordinary classmates??” Zhuo Anke’s voice rose, before she seemed to realize her volume and lowered it again. “This is the first time I’ve heard of Wen Yufeng going out of his way for a girl—how could you two just be ordinary classmates?”
Before Qin Qing could respond, Zhuo Anke added, “I’m telling you, there are plenty of girls in this school who are after Wen Yufeng, and even his rumored girlfriend hasn’t gotten the attention you’re getting!”
Hearing this, Qin Qing lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions within them, and fell silent.
Sensing Qin Qing’s reluctance to continue the topic, Zhuo Anke quickly changed the subject. “How about I come find you during the morning exercises? Don’t go wandering off!”
“Today?” Qin Qing asked, surprised.
“Yeah, why? Is it inconvenient?”
“…No, you can come.”
“Great, it’s a plan then.”
“Okay.”
…
The bell signaling the end of the second morning class rang, but perhaps due to the longer break during the morning exercises, the geography teacher extended the class by nearly ten minutes. Finally, amid the class’s subtle complaints, the geography teacher reluctantly called out, “Class dismissed,” and the students let out a collective sigh of relief.
Qin Qing packed away her textbooks and looked towards the classroom door. Given the time, Zhuo Anke was probably already waiting outside.
Sure enough, the first student who walked out of the classroom seemed to be stopped at the door. After a moment, the student turned back and, taking advantage of the relative quiet, raised his voice to call out to the back of the room, “Yufeng, Ling Xiaohua is here to see you.”
The classroom fell silent for a moment before whispers and quiet teasing broke out in various corners.
… So she wasn’t here to see me?
Qin Qing, who had already started to stand up, sat back down with a sigh.
But “Ling Xiaohua”… If she remembered correctly, Zhuo Anke had mentioned that this girl was Wen Yufeng’s ex-girlfriend?
Before Qin Qing could finish recalling, a tall figure brushed past her desk.
Before she could react, the same student who had called out to Wen Yufeng shouted into the classroom again, “Qin Qing, someone is here to see you too.”
“……”
The murmurs that had just started up again suddenly fell silent.
An awkward atmosphere filled the front of the classroom. After all, just a week ago, everyone had witnessed Wen Yufeng’s special attention towards their new classmate. Now, with both of them being called out at the same time…
If the person looking for the new student was a boy, wouldn’t this be a live showdown…?
With that thought, many students’ eyes lit up. They didn’t even notice that Wen Yufeng, who had been walking to the front of the classroom, had suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly.
A dangerous emotion flickered in his gaze, but only for a moment before he suppressed it. He resumed walking and left the classroom.
Several meters behind him, Qin Qing also stood up and left her seat. As she reached the podium and turned towards the door, she saw the boy at the door glance to the side and then pull the door shut between them.
With a loud “bang,” the students inside, who had been waiting for some drama, were left stunned.
Qin Qing, too, was momentarily shocked. When she realized what had happened, she quickly ran to the door and tried to open it, but no matter how hard she pulled, the door wouldn’t budge.
Meanwhile, outside the classroom…
When Ling Yu saw Wen Yufeng approaching, she smiled and walked towards him. But before she could say anything, Wen Yufeng, leaning against the wall with one hand behind his back holding the door firmly shut, suddenly lifted his gaze.
Though his face carried a faint smile, the look in his eyes as he glanced over the group was chilling.
“Who here is looking for Qin Qing?”
