Volume 2 + Chapter 2: The School Bully And The Idol
“Then without further delay, let me see this legendary, all-powerful school belle myself.”
After the second period ended, Ning Caiwei couldn’t wait to head toward Class 1-6, where Ouyang Qianxue was.
At that moment, a cold-faced boy with a small braid walked straight toward her. Ning Caiwei was immediately attracted by the boy’s melancholic eyes and handsome appearance. This boy was none other than Bai Yuxuan.
“Wait a minute, you over there!” Ning Caiwei immediately blocked Bai Yuxuan.
“What is it?” Bai Yuxuan asked coldly.
“I want to know your name. I’m Ning Caiwei. I believe you must’ve heard of me…”
“Ning Caiwei? Never heard of you. I’m Bai Yuxuan.”
After saying this, Bai Yuxuan brushed past her and prepared to leave.
Ning Caiwei was stunned. She had never encountered anyone who dared ignore her like that. But instead of anger, Bai Yuxuan’s indifference only piqued her interest.
“Wait a second!” Ning Caiwei caught up to him.
“I’ve heard your name before. My classmates said you’re good at all sports and always ranked first in the grade. Now that I’ve seen your handsome looks, I acknowledge you. So, how about it? Are you interested in being my boyfriend?”
“Huh?” Bai Yuxuan looked at her like she was an idiot. But Ning Caiwei didn’t notice—she thought he was just shocked by her proposal and began explaining.
“As an idol, I inevitably have to sing youthful love songs. But since my debut, I haven’t had a single relationship, so my songs always feel hollow. But just now, when I saw you, I suddenly felt my heart flutter. Plus, you’re an all-rounder. How about it? Be my boyfriend. With someone as cute as me for a girlfriend, you’ll have a face too, right?”
“Hmph, you really think this through, don’t you?” Bai Yuxuan gave a faint smile.
“Then…” Ning Caiwei also smiled, but before she could finish, Bai Yuxuan’s next words were like a slap in the face.
“Even if your plan sounds clever, I, Bai Yuxuan, don’t have time to waste on someone like you.”
She walked away again.
Ning Caiwei stood frozen in place. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. After a long pause, she snapped out of it and chased after her.
“How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know what an honor it is for an idol like me to lower myself and ask you to be my boyfriend?! And not only do you not appreciate it, you even humiliate me!”
“I suggest you get a clear understanding of yourself. You’re just a traffic-driven entertainer. In a place like Sakura High, where elites are everywhere, you’re nothing special. Some students here have parents who were top-tier celebrities. Do you really think they’re praising you sincerely? Don’t kid yourself—they’re just being polite.”
After speaking, Bai Yuxuan pulled out a key and unlocked the student council office door.
(No way! Impossible that any boy wouldn’t be moved by me… unless… Ah! I get it!)
“Wait!” Ning Caiwei grabbed Bai Yuxuan’s shoulder.
“You’re saying all this… because of Ouyang Qianxue, aren’t you? You like her, don’t you?”
The moment she mentioned Ouyang Qianxue, Bai Yuxuan’s body noticeably trembled.
“Ah, I knew it! It’s her fault I got ignored in class, and now I’m humiliated like this too. Just wait, I’ll make sure she pays—”
But before she could finish, Bai Yuxuan yanked her into the student council office.
With one hand he locked the door, and with the other he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.
“You… what are you doing?!”
Ning Caiwei’s arrogance instantly turned into panic. Bai Yuxuan was staring at her with an icy gaze that made the very air seem colder.
“What did you mean just now? ‘Make her pay’? What are you planning to do to her?”
Under that gaze, Ning Caiwei felt like a sharp blade was at her throat. She was convinced if she didn’t give a satisfactory answer, he might really do something terrible.
“I… I just meant to challenge her for the school belle title! You… you can’t treat a girl like this—let go of me!”
“Oh? So that’s what you meant.”
Bai Yuxuan let go of her wrist.
“With your half-baked skills, you think you can challenge her for the school belle title? I can’t help but feel sorry for you.”
“How would you know unless I try? I’m an active idol, and she’s just a regular student. In terms of charm, I’m definitely above her!”
“Is that so? Then go ahead and try. I just hope after you witness her true ability, you can still keep that confidence of yours. Let me give you a heads-up—there’s only one person in this school qualified to be her rival, and that’s me.”
“Hmph! Just wait. Once I beat Ouyang Qianxue, you’ll see my charm. Then you’ll regret refusing me. You’ll regret treating me this rudely!”
With that, she slammed the door and stormed out.
Watching her leave, Bai Yuxuan smiled faintly.
“If you, Ning Caiwei, are a star in the night sky, then Ouyang Qianxue is the sun. Do you know why you can’t see the stars during the day? Because the sunlight drowns out the stars’ dim glow. Only when the sun is gone do the stars show. A dim star like you trying to outshine the sun—of course you’ll be eclipsed by her brilliance. I can’t wait to see your broken expression after she defeats you.”
Meanwhile, Ning Caiwei had arrived at the entrance of Class 1-6.
“Which one of you is Ouyang Qianxue?” she asked the students inside.
“You mean Ouyang? She’s helping the teacher right now. If you have a message, we can pass it on.”
“I see. Then tell her this from me—Ning Caiwei wants to challenge her and bet on her title as Sakura’s school belle!”
With that, she walked out of the classroom.
At the door, she just happened to run into Wang Qian. The two brushed past each other without speaking, but Wang Qian had clearly overheard Ning Caiwei’s declaration.
Wang Qian quickly found a quiet spot, pulled out her phone, and dialed a number.
“Hello, Auntie? Bad news—active idol Ning Caiwei just suddenly transferred into Sakura Academy, and she’s trying to challenge Qianxue for the school belle title!”
“Is that so? Then let her try. Qianxue is my proudest creation. A traffic idol like Ning Caiwei isn’t even in the same league.”
“But she is somewhat popular… Shouldn’t we be a bit cautious?”
“No need. Let them compete. It’s the perfect chance to see just how far Qianxue’s abilities have come.”
