Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 7

Ruan Tang hesitated slightly, unsure whether she should say it out loud.

But then she thought of how worried Shen Zhu had been the night before—so worried he’d stayed the night on her couch just to be near in case something happened.

With that in mind, this small thing probably wasn’t worth hiding from him.

So she answered honestly.

“Today… I-I’m going to confess to someone.”

Her voice was soft and a little embarrassed, her cheeks tinged pink.

Shen Zhu’s expression changed instantly. “Confess?!”

The moment the words were out, Zhou Yi and Lu Jie abandoned any pretense of composure and immediately leaned in closer to eavesdrop through the phone.

Ruan Tang hadn’t expected to be so thoroughly monitored by the three of them.

Her voice was sweet and shy as she spoke again.

“Y-Yeah… a confession. I messed it up the first time. So this time, I want to do it properly!”

She gave a slightly sheepish smile.
“Tangtang will do her best! If it works out this time, can we celebrate together?”

In her mind, if the confession went unsuccessfully, that meant her mission would be complete and she could leave this world.

And before she left, sharing a meal with the warm, caring neighbor-brother who’d looked after her—that seemed like a nice send-off.

But Shen Zhu, unaware of the truth, felt like her words were digging straight into his chest.

The girl he loved was going to confess to another man.
And if she succeeded, she even wanted to celebrate with him.

In other words, he’d have to offer his congratulations.

Shen Zhu’s heart twisted painfully. His body swayed slightly, like his legs could barely hold him up.

Lu Jie’s expression turned ashen. His face dimmed, the light in his eyes going out.

Only Zhou Yi could hardly hide the joy blooming across his features. His handsome face lit up with an uncontainable smile.

“So… Tangtang really does like me! She’s going to confess to me again!”

“Hmm? Gege, is someone with you?”

Ruan Tang was still in the cab. The window was down, and the audio wasn’t very clear, so she asked.

Shen Zhu pressed his lips together bitterly, choking back the pain as he answered with a forced calm:

“No one. Just a dog barking like crazy.”

Ruan Tang tilted her head slightly.

That sure sounded like a man’s voice… She even thought she heard her name.

“Tangtang, be careful on the road. Gege’s hanging up now. Message me when you get to school.”

His voice was still gentle, but for some reason, Ruan Tang could hear a thread of sorrow running beneath it.

Did something happen to Gege?

She was about to ask more, but Shen Zhu had already hung up.

He knew that if he didn’t end the call right away, he’d lose control and say something he shouldn’t.

—Don’t confess. Don’t fall for someone else. Can’t you just like me instead?

He was terrified those words would slip out.

Even if he couldn’t bear it, even if it crushed him, if Tangtang wanted to do this… he had no right to stop her.

But—

Not stopping her didn’t mean he was going to sit back and let her fall into another man’s arms.

He wouldn’t interfere with her confession. But there was no way—no way—he was going to let her end up with someone else.

So what if she confessed?

As long as they weren’t together yet, he still had a chance to make her fall for him.

News of Ruan Tang’s planned confession spread like wildfire.

“Did you hear?! Ruan Tang’s confessing to campus heartthrob Zhou Yi again!!”

“Wait, didn’t she already do that once?”

“You didn’t see the video? Last time, she chickened out at the last second! It’s all over the campus forum—she was so shy, it was adorable!”

“I bet Zhou Yi says yes this time! He looked visibly disappointed last time, it was so obvious!”

“A soft little cutie paired with a cold and stoic campus god—I’m shipping this so hard I might explode!”

Ruan Tang had no idea that her confession plan was already the talk of A University.

She clutched the “love letter” system item in her hand, happily on her way to find her actual target: Qi Feng.

She’d already done her homework—Qi Feng was famous for being completely uninterested in girls.

He was the campus tyrant at T University. Handsome, yes—but with a violent temper. Tons of girls liked him, but not one had ever dared confess.

In fact, no one even dared talk to him.

With a guy like that, there was no way he’d say yes.

【Tongtong! If I get totally rejected, I can move on to the next world, right?】

【That’s right, Tangtang~】

【Great! I’m already excited! I wonder what the next world will be like.】

Ruan Tang daydreamed sweetly about the future, her delicate face lit up with a bright, happy smile.

She made her way cheerfully to the dorm building for male students, trying to figure out who to ask for Qi Feng’s whereabouts.

She didn’t realize at all that her appearance had already caught the attention of several boys watching from the upper floors.

“Holy crap!! The campus belle’s standing outside our dorm!!”

“No way no way, who’s she here for?!”

“Didn’t you check the forum? She’s here to confess to Zhou Yi!”

“Damn… my heart…”

One guy couldn’t resist getting a closer look. He quickly ran downstairs, trying to play it cool like he just happened to be passing by.

But when he saw her up close, he froze, totally entranced. He forgot to turn and smacked face-first into the wall, blushing furiously.

Ruan Tang jumped in surprise.

“Are you okay?”

“Y-yeah!!” The boy clutched his red nose and scrambled to cover up the awkward moment.

“I know who you’re looking for! He’s over at the plaza in front of the library!”

Ruan Tang blinked.

Huh? How did he know she was looking for Qi Feng?

Wait—Qi Feng’s at the library?

She didn’t expect that. He actually seemed like a studious guy.
Just goes to show, appearances can be deceiving.

She gave the boy a sweet, crinkly-eyed smile.
“Thank you!”

The boy immediately felt a rush of warmth in his nose and clutched it harder.

Oh my god, she’s too cute!!!

Meanwhile…

“Qi-ge, big trouble!!”

Qi Feng sat on the rooftop railing, letting the wind lash against him.

His side profile was sharp and defiant, his expression cold and grim.

He was playing with the lollipop Ruan Tang had given him—he still hadn’t eaten it. He’d just been staring at it all day.

Hearing his underling’s panicked shout, he responded with indifference.

“What could be worse than yesterday?”

He’d already heard the worst possible news yesterday—that Ruan Tang had confessed to that pretty boy Zhou Yi.

He’d even watched the video several times, stone-faced.

Even though she’d changed her words at the last second, the way she’d looked at him—shy, eyes sparkling—was not the look of someone who felt nothing.

What could possibly be worse than that?

He was about to find out.

His lackey spoke like he was mourning the dead.
“I heard… Ruan Tang-jie’s going to confess to Zhou Yi again!”

Snap.

The lollipop stick broke in half in Qi Feng’s hand.

His face darkened like a storm on the verge of breaking.

His voice was icy, each word forced out through clenched teeth.

“Where is that little pretty boy now?”

The lackey flinched and took half a step back—Qi-ge looked like a freaking demon right now.

“A-at the plaza in front of the library…”

Qi Feng slowly unwrapped the candy and popped it between his lips.

Crunch.

He bit down hard—viciously—like he was crushing bone.

“Good. Let’s go pay him a visit.”

“I want to see for myself what’s so special about that pretty boy that she’d fall for him.”
