Chapter 7: Confessed to by the School Celebr
Something is wrong! This is too wrong!
How could the proportion be so abnormal? This is too strange! In a class of over forty people, I’m the only normal one!
No matter how I think about it, something doesn’t seem right.
Then I suddenly calmed down.
Because I started to doubt the authenticity of these ‘titles’ I was seeing.
In the end, aren’t these words just my delusions? Is it just because I subconsciously felt that ‘daily life’ was too boring, so I used the ‘unusual’ event of being hit on the head by a UFO as a catalyst to create these fantasies…
Otherwise, how could the bizarre development of the entire class being abnormal people happen?
If these titles were all real, let alone this class, wouldn’t the whole world be in chaos?
How could everyone keep their secrets without any agreement?
No matter how I think about it, the problem can only be with me, that is… something is wrong with my head.
I suspect I have a mental illness.
Although I think my current mental state and thought process are quite normal, and even if something is wrong, it’s my visual nervous system that’s malfunctioning. But people with mental illnesses often claim they don’t have a mental illness, so I must have one.
In conclusion, no matter what, I’ll attribute everything I’m seeing to my mental illness. Otherwise, if I keep looking at these bizarre titles, I’ll really go crazy!
I don’t know if it was because I found an excuse for myself (self-hypnosis), but I finally regained my normal mood.
As expected, it’s all psychological. In fact, I’ve never actually seen my classmates turn into monsters or kill anyone. That means the instances that can confirm the authenticity of those titles are 0.
So, a beautiful girl like Ji Lianbing could actually be a murderer, how could that be possible? Hahahaha…
“Um, Classmate An Juncheng?”
“…”
My heart trembled. I didn’t expect her to talk to me.
But it doesn’t matter, I’m not scared anymore! Ji Lianbing is not a fierce beast, nor is she a twisted necrophiliac. I have no reason to fear a beautiful girl who looks like a celestial being.
Returning to my usual self, I calmly asked her, “Um… is something wrong?”
“You just made a sound when looking at me, right? Is there something on my face?”
As expected, that sound caught her attention.
But there’s nothing to be afraid of now. Instead, I’m more than happy that Ji Lianbing is talking to me.
“Ah, no. I didn’t make that sound because I was looking at you, it has nothing to do with you.”
*Pfft!*
The moment I finished speaking, I silently spat out another mouthful of blood in my heart.
It’s like this again… I habitually said something like that. It’s precisely because of this way of speaking that clearly indicates rejection that I have no friends. Think about it, who would want to be friends with someone like me who makes it impossible for others to continue the conversation?
It’s been like this since before. I always unintentionally end conversations, leaving everyone speechless. That’s right, it’s because of my natural ‘awkward silence king’ personality that my interpersonal relationships are so terrible.
Maybe the title I’m currently wearing is [Awkward Silence King].
And then, I thought that this time would be like before, and Ji Lianbing would also stop talking to me like those people. But the result was not like that.
Should I say she lives up to her reputation as the popular school beauty? Even after being treated so coldly by me, she still maintained a beautiful smile on her face and calmly said to me, “Oh, so it wasn’t because there was something on my face that you made that sound. That’s great.”
Then she solemnly thanked me, “Thank you, Classmate An.”
I didn’t help with anything at all, did I?
“I didn’t help with anything at all, did I?”
Oops, I accidentally blurted it out!
Now there’s really no way to salvage this! Ji Lianbing clearly said that to provide a graceful way out for both of us, so we wouldn’t have to awkwardly interrupt the conversation… But why can’t I read the room at all!
At this point, I can summarize the reason why I, An Juncheng, can’t make friends: I’m blunt, I don’t consider the occasion or the atmosphere, I say whatever I think, I have no ulterior motives, and my conversational skills are zero.
I’m beyond saving, so I’ve given up on treatment. But for those classmates who show signs of this, please don’t let the situation worsen, okay? Otherwise, you’ll really be lonely for life…
Cornered like this, a normal person might have already gotten angry and left, but Ji Lianbing still calmly replied, “No, thanks to you, I know my appearance is fine today. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t tell me. Because, you’re the only one who dares to talk to me like this, hehehe…”
“That’s because you don’t have any friends either.”
As everyone knows, Ji Lianbing is the most famous school beauty, very popular among boys. But conversely, she’s also very unpopular among girls.
She probably doesn’t have friends either, just like me. I’ve never seen her being close to any girl.
After all, if I were a girl, I would be jealous of her.
As for male friends… well, to put it nicely, those boys aren’t worthy of being her friends. To put it bluntly, those boys just want to… cough, have her…
Then, knowing I shouldn’t say it, I still said it… I’m hopeless.
“Yes… I indeed don’t have many friends… Then, can Classmate An be my friend?”
“Ah… ah?”
I was stunned for a moment. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine things developing like this.
Letting alone admitting she has no friends, after I said all those things, she actually proposed to be friends with me?
Could it be that Ji Lianbing is actually a masochist…
Or did I mishear again?
Since there’s this hallucination where I can see inexplicable words, it’s not strange to have auditory hallucinations where I hear incomprehensible sounds, right?
“Please be my friend, okay?”
She actually repeated it!
“I want to be friends with you, can I?”
She actually repeated it a second time!!
“Please be my boyfriend.”
“Alright! You don’t have to repeat it so many times, I will… … Hmm?”
Wait, did that sentence just have an extra word?
As I was wondering, Ji Lianbing clapped her hands happily and said, “Great! Then from now on, you are my boyfriend. Can I call you ‘Juncheng’ directly?”
The entire classroom fell into a dead silence.
I could feel countless eyes gathering on the corner where Ji Lianbing and I were.
This reaction made me realize that I hadn’t misheard. She had indeed said that sentence just now: ‘Please be my boyfriend’!
Ahhhhh?!
What the hell!
Why did it turn out like this? Is this my delusion? Or is it not just me who has a mental illness, but Ji Lianbing is also a crazy girl?
Just then, the bell rang.
The math teacher, who came for the second period, looked at the silent classroom with surprise and said, “This is unprecedented! Class 2, usually the noisiest, is so quiet today… are you all practicing Mute Mantras together today?”
No one answered the teacher’s question. Everyone, including me, was still in shock.
That → school beauty confessed to me → a reclusive guy!
If I’m dreaming, please wake me up quickly!
I can’t handle such a sudden turn of events!
