The Rooftop Confession

“Come with me…” In the corridor, people were coming and going, but their gazes were all fixed on Luo Yao and Su Mengqi. Su Mengqi didn’t seem to mind, but Luo Yao found the attention uncomfortably intense.

Moreover, Luo Yao now had no choice but to clarify their relationship. If he let Su Mengqi keep fantasizing, he might never be able to clear things up, and Su Mengqi’s advances were both strong and relentless.

So, he whispered to Su Mengqi, who was pinning him against the wall.

At that moment, Su Mengqi’s face was flushed with excitement. Although she was nearly an adult, facing such a handsome boy for the first time, and especially doing something so bold, made her a bit shy. Luo Yao, on the other hand, was much more composed. Scenes where girls pinned him against the wall were not new to him, as his girlfriend had often done this, and he had grown accustomed to it.

However, Su Mengqi’s actions unintentionally made Luo Yao think of the past.

Luo Yao had his own reasons for not accepting Su Mengqi’s feelings. Before transferring to this school, Su Mengqi was known as a ‘bully,’ smoking and skipping classes, but the school didn’t dare do anything to her because of her family’s influence. However, after Luo Yao arrived, she seemed to have changed completely, and everything she did seemed like an attempt to please him.

To Luo Yao, Su Mengqi felt like nothing more than a fake.

Although Luo Yao didn’t want to be liked by someone so insincere, he had been hurt by such a woman before. And that woman had done the same thing to him… Like, pinning him against the wall?

“Come with me.” Before Su Mengqi could recover from her flushed state, Luo Yao grabbed her arm. Since the classrooms for the senior year were usually on the upper floors, the distance from their current floor to the rooftop was just a short flight of stairs.

Moreover, it was lunchtime, and hardly anyone would be on the rooftop, so it was empty.

Avoiding the stares of others, Luo Yao pulled Su Mengqi’s hand towards the stairs behind them. Su Mengqi, being held like this, felt like she had been electrocuted, and she followed Luo Yao as if in a trance.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the corridor. Today, the story of Luo Yao and Su Mengqi was already spreading, and a few more half-versions wouldn’t matter.

As for Su Mengqi, she was so happy that she felt like she might faint. Although she had been pursuing Luo Yao, this was the closest physical contact they had ever had. She savored the feel of Luo Yao’s smooth skin and warmth, a sensation that made her want to linger forever.

Soon, Su Mengqi was pulled by Luo Yao onto the rooftop. As he had guessed, it was completely empty. The rooftop was well-protected by safety nets, and the precautions were thorough. That was why the school allowed students to access the rooftop, and for some, it was a place of effort and struggle.

“Luo Yao… what are you bringing me here for? I know you like me, but this is too fast…” Su Mengqi’s eyes began to sparkle with infatuation, and her ample chest heaved with each breath. Luo Yao had heard that in this world, women with larger breasts were more powerful.

Looking into Su Mengqi’s eyes, Luo Yao could see that this was true. Even with just a brief physical contact, he could feel Su Mengqi’s entire body burning with desire. If he didn’t put an end to this soon, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Although Su Mengqi looked delicate, she had considerable strength. This was one of the natural advantages of women in this world, where seemingly weak girls could sometimes be stronger than Luo Yao.

“Su Mengqi, don’t get the wrong idea. I brought you here because I have something important to say.” Luo Yao looked into Su Mengqi’s sparkling eyes, sensing that things might be getting out of control.

He had brought Su Mengqi to the rooftop to clarify their relationship. This way, he could peacefully finish his senior year and look forward to a bright future. Perhaps he could also avoid his ex-girlfriend from the previous world. Although he didn’t dislike his ex, compared to the heavy, almost obsessive love she had for him, Luo Yao longed for a simple, happy life.

Now, one of the obstacles to his happiness was right in front of him, and this ‘obstacle’ was trying her best to ‘get’ him, which was a headache for Luo Yao.

“Luo Yao, aren’t you secretly liking me?” Su Mengqi stepped closer, clearly lost in her own fantasies.

“Don’t come any closer…” Luo Yao eyed Su Mengqi warily, suddenly thinking that bringing her to the rooftop might have been a mistake.

“Luo Yao, what’s wrong?” Su Mengqi looked at him with a mix of confusion and lingering infatuation. This meant the danger hadn’t passed yet. Looking at Su Mengqi, who was a head taller than him, Luo Yao began to doubt himself.

In this world, the chance of a boy being forced was quite high. Despite strict laws, their effectiveness was limited. Especially with someone like Su Mengqi, who was both wealthy and attractive, a ‘beautiful bully.’

“I called you here to talk things over.” Luo Yao steeled himself, looking directly at Su Mengqi.

“Su Mengqi, I don’t want to be in a relationship right now, and I don’t like you,” Luo Yao said, not giving Su Mengqi a chance to respond. Looking at her, he had a feeling that Su Mengqi had the potential to ‘turn into a villain.’ It was best to keep their distance.

“Wh-what?” Su Mengqi stared at Luo Yao, her speech faltering with disbelief.

“I said I don’t like you. Let’s just be friends.” Clearly, in Su Mengqi’s mind, Luo Yao was about to propose marriage. It seemed that Luo Yao’s earlier rejection hadn’t been clear enough. However, this was a good thing. Su Mengqi was a decent person, despite her family’s wealth and influence, and she didn’t use it to bully others.

“Luo Yao… what’s going on? This morning…” Su Mengqi’s expression was a mix of disbelief and confusion. For someone who tended to overthink, this was a heavy blow.

“I don’t want to be in a relationship during my senior year, and I don’t like you much…” Seeing that Su Mengqi still didn’t believe him, Luo Yao decided to make things clearer.

“It’s fine. As long as I like you, that’s enough.” Before Luo Yao could finish, Su Mengqi interrupted, talking to herself.

As the saying goes, the harder something is to obtain, the more desirable it becomes. At that moment, the infatuation in Su Mengqi’s eyes disappeared. She seemed to have regained her composure, but…

Su Mengqi’s eyes, now clear of infatuation, held a hint of cold calculation. “Whether or not you like me, I don’t care. I just don’t want to be in a relationship right now, but we can still be friends.” Luo Yao’s body tensed slightly.

“It’s okay, Luo Yao. I can wait.” Su Mengqi looked at Luo Yao with unwavering determination. She had finally snapped out of her fantasy and returned to reality.

“Uh…” Luo Yao listened to Su Mengqi, sensing that trouble was brewing again.

“Luo Yao, I truly like you. I won’t give up until you marry me.” Seeing Luo Yao’s hesitation, Su Mengqi quickly stepped forward, holding his hand firmly. “From now on, I am the devoted admirer. And this admirer is of the fierce variety, quick to pounce and capable of delivering a fatal blow if you’re not careful.”
