Chapter 24
Miura Yumiko's Shocking Confession! Heartbreak to the Point of No Breath!

“She’s fine, just a bit of low blood sugar.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Hearing the school nurse say that Yui Yuigahama was fine, Yumiko Miura also felt relieved.

“Hmm…”

Just then, Yui Yuigahama woke up.

“Yumiko, what happened to me?”

She asked, clutching her dizzy head.

Yumiko Miura crossed her arms and said with a bad temper, “What happened? You just fainted. It was Ling Qing who carried you to the infirmary.”

“Huh?”

Yui Yuigahama had a vague recollection.

It felt like she was being held in a warm embrace just now.

Seeing Ling Qing beside her, she hurriedly thanked him, “Thank you for sending me to the infirmary.”

“It’s nothing.”

Ling Qing took the candy the school nurse gave him and handed it to her.

“It seems you fainted because of low blood sugar, Yui Yuigahama.”

“Yui, how come you have low blood sugar?”

Yumiko Miura asked with her arms crossed and a frown.

“Uh… I… I…”

Yui Yuigahama shyly pointed her fingers.

“Actually, I’ve been on a diet recently, so…”

Understood.

Eating less to lose weight quickly.

“Dieting is not good.”

Ling Qing shook his head and chuckled, “Not only does it rebound quickly, but it’s also harmful to your body.”

“And you’re already in great shape. Why would you need to diet?”

“Uh… My figure is good?”

Yui Yuigahama’s face blushed with shyness at being praised.

“Of course. At least from a man’s perspective, you have a very good figure.” Ling Qing nodded.

“Nevermind. I shouldn’t be saying this. Since you’re fine, I’ll be going now.”

“Wait!”

Just then.

Yumiko Miura couldn’t help but call out to him.

Ling Qing turned around in confusion.

Yumiko Miura.

Of course, he knew her.

It seemed that she was a tsundere who liked Hayato Hayama.

Just as he wondered what Yumiko Miura had called him for.

She clenched her fist and gathered her courage to ask the question she’d been wanting to ask all along.

“Ling Qing-kun, why didn’t you respond to my love letter in second year? Was it because… you hated me?”

She even noticed that Ling Qing had never looked at her directly.

Just like now.

He could joke around with Yui, but.

He had always ignored her existence.

What kind of person is he?!

Yumiko Miura wanted to know the reason.

“Love letter?”

Ling Qing was stunned for a moment.

Yumiko Miura wrote him a love letter?

This development…

He felt like he had to explain himself.

“I probably didn’t see your love letter.”

“So… you hated me because of that?”

Yumiko Miura’s expression dimmed at his words.

“No, you got it wrong.”

“What?”

“What I meant was, I received so many love letters every day, how could I possibly read them all?”

Ling Qing smiled helplessly, “If I replied to every single one, wouldn’t I be exhausted? So I chose not to read them at all.”

“Ah?”

Yui Yuigahama, who was listening from the side, exclaimed in surprise.

“So… it seems like you misunderstood Ling Qing-kun, Yumiko?”

“…”

At this moment, Yumiko Miura’s mind was filled with nothing but self-reproach.

Why didn’t I think of this before?

“Haha, it’s a bit of a shame that I didn’t realize such a beautiful girl liked me at the time.”

Ling Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

“If you had really come to me and expressed yourself back then, I would have probably agreed.”

He was just an ordinary person back then.

He would have agreed to Yumiko Miura’s request for a relationship if nothing else.

But… he’s not anymore.

He couldn’t help but sigh at the irony of fate.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

Ling Qing turned around.

Yui Yuigahama anxiously gave Yumiko Miura a wink.

“Hurry, go for it, Yumiko!”

Yumiko Miura finally snapped out of her daze.

Her body moved.

Yui Yuigahama was shocked, her mouth forming a perfect O.

Because Yumiko Miura had hugged Ling Qing from behind.

“Ling Qing-kun, I… I still like you. Can… Can you be my boyfriend?”

She gathered her courage and confessed again.

This time, she spoke it out loud.

For a moment, her cheeks flushed red and her heart pounded.

But…

Ling Qing gently shook his head.

He turned to face her, one hand touching her cheek.

“Perhaps you still like the impression of me you have.”

“I’ve changed a lot. So much so that my true nature is beyond your imagination.”

“If you can still like me after truly understanding my true nature, I’m willing to be sincere to you too.”

Ling Qing could decisively use a transaction to obtain a girl’s body.

Because he knew that it was a mutually agreed upon transaction, something he deserved.

But he was not shameless enough to deceive a girl’s feelings.

However, he would hide his ‘wolfish ambitions’ from any woman he was truly interested in.

Mai Sakurajima was, and so was Megumi Kato.

He wanted to make them unable to leave the real, lecherous him.

So, he had the same thoughts about Yumiko Miura.

He bent down.

He told her in a voice that only they could hear.

“I’ve slept with two girls, and I’m also interested in many other girls.”

“If you really want to know me, come to the rooftop at noon.”

With that said.

Ling Qing left the infirmary without paying any attention to Yumiko Miura who was still standing there in a daze.

The door closed.

Yumiko Miura’s gaze was still vacant.

Ling Qing’s words echoed in her head.

Slept with…

Two girls…

Likes many at the same time…

Every single one of them was outrageous.

What in the world is this?!

For a moment, she felt like the person she had admired had crumbled.

“Yumiko, why are you crying?”

Yui Yuigahama walked over worriedly.

“No… Nothing!”

Noticing the tears sliding down her cheeks.

Yumiko Miura hurriedly wiped them away.

And she pretended to be nonchalant.

“Haha, I just didn’t expect I actually did it.”

“Yui, you’re fine now. Let’s go back.”

Yumiko Miura perfunctorily dragged Yui Yuigahama away.

But the pain in her heart couldn’t be erased.

I have to find out…

What kind of person is he really?!

Even if my heart breaks, I’ll die knowing the truth!
