Chapter 258: Confession Exclusive Song
Before going out the door, Feng Jia Miaomiao looked at herself in the mirror.
Simple short sleeves, shorts and sandals, along with the simplest ponytail, with some loose strands of hair gently swaying in the wind blowing in from the balcony. For a female university student, this seemed a bit unkempt, but no matter, she was going to the internet cafe to play together anyway—what did she care about appearances?
But suddenly, Feng Jia Miaomiao noticed that in the mirror, a pair of eyes was staring at her, and the gaze in them seemed… how to put it, off?
At this moment, staring at Feng Jia Miaomiao from behind was her roommate Li Nanyin, an ordinary-looking girl with delicate thoughts.
“Nan Yin, what are you looking at?” Feng Jia Miaomiao turned around and asked casually.
Li Nanyin instinctively shook her head, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back down.
Feng Jia Miaomiao stared at her and asked with some confusion: “What’s up?”
Li Nanyin hesitated for a few seconds and said softly: “I want to recommend a song to you. Are you heading out now…? Is time tight?”
Feng Jia Miaomiao: “I made plans with someone to go to the internet cafe to play games, supposed to be there in half an hour. As long as the song you recommend isn’t too long, there’s time.”
“Play games?” Li Nanyin asked instinctively, “With a boy?”
Feng Jia Miaomiao: “Yeah, a guy.”
Li Nanyin asked softly again: “The kind you have a good feeling for?”
Feng Jia Miaomiao immediately burst out laughing: “It’s Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing, classmates from class teaming up for ranked matches, you think there’d be any good feelings?”
Li Nanyin breathed a sigh of relief, took out her mobile phone, opened the Wangyu Music app, and started playing.
The intro started, followed by a young girl’s ethereal singing voice.
“Sleepless until three or four in the morning,
Only your perfect profile remains before my eyes,
Strands of red thread,
Just breaking at your hand…”
After listening for a minute until the first chorus ended, Feng Jia Miaomiao nodded: “Not bad, it’s really pretty good.”
Li Nanyin gripped her mobile phone unusually tightly, so much so that the veins on the back of her hand stood out. But Feng Jia Miaomiao didn’t notice this detail.
“Did you…” Li Nanyin asked carefully, “feel anything?”
Feng Jia Miaomiao was taken aback: “Feel what?”
Li Nanyin stared at her for a moment, then suddenly sighed in some dejection: “Forget it, it’s nothing. Miaomiao, go have fun.”

In the internet cafe, Tang Hexing, Fu Hanwen, and Feng Jia Miaomiao sat in a row, having won another match.
“The vice class monitor is really awesome…” As the words reached his mouth, Tang Hexing felt certain words might not be appropriate in front of a girl, so he quickly changed it to, “Really too strong!”
Fu Hanwen chimed in softly: “Yeah, really impressive.”
Tang Hexing: “This match was really all thanks to the vice class monitor.”
Fu Hanwen: “…”
He actually really didn’t want to admit it, but looking at her jungler match record, especially recalling that final moment when all teammates were dead, Feng Jia Miaomiao took on four enemies alone, wiping out their team and then soloing the crystal—Fu Hanwen really had nothing to say.
Compared to him, Tang Hexing had none of these extra hesitations, even humming a tune happily.
Suddenly, Feng Jia Miaomiao patted Tang Hexing’s back and said: “This song, I just heard it!”
Tang Hexing: “Really? This song was written by Teacher Wang’s younger sister.”
Feng Jia Miaomiao said in surprise: “His younger sister is that good! Nan Yin didn’t mention that when she recommended it to me, and I saw it has over ten thousand comments below—this is a debut singer’s grades, right?”
Tang Hexing suddenly sensed something odd and asked nonchalantly: “Nan Yin? The one in our class?”
Feng Jia Miaomiao: “Yeah, my roommate. You know there are only five girls in our class, and four are in the same dormitory.”
Tang Hexing asked again: “When classmate Li Nanyin recommended this to you, did she say anything?”
“Didn’t say much…” Feng Jia Miaomiao scratched her head, “She seemed to say something about me feeling it, but I thought, there’s nothing to feel!”
Tang Hexing nodded thoughtfully.
Fu Hanwen stared at him, feeling like his roommate had realized some issue, but he himself was still a bit clueless.
At this point, Feng Jia Miaomiao stood up: “Don’t start the next match yet, I need to use the toilet.”
The young girl twisted her neck, took off her headphones, and headed to the toilet.
Fu Hanwen asked softly: “Xiao Tang, was there some deeper meaning in what you said earlier? Is there something wrong with Teacher Wang’s younger sister’s song?”
Tang Hexing smiled leisurely: “Search the song name, then search yuri.”
“Holy crap, I think I kinda get it…” Saying that, Fu Hanwen still searched Qian Du for《Sleepless》and ‘yuri’. Then the links that appeared before his eyes, he didn’t even need to click them—just seeing the keywords made a lot clear. Clicking in confirmed it completely.
“So,” Tang Hexing laughed, “The yuri anthem isn’t a joke. Legend has it the latest confession method in some circles now is to play Sleepless for someone.”
Fu Hanwen held it in for a few seconds, then slowly let out a sigh: “Holy crap… so the vice class monitor got confessed to by her roommate?”
Tang Hexing: “Yeah, but luckily the confession method was pretty euphemistic. Otherwise think about it, in the same dormitory where you see each other all the time—how awkward if rejected?”
Fu Hanwen looked at him, suddenly feeling a chill.
Tang Hexing also felt the atmosphere was off and quickly changed the topic: “By the way, what kind of person do you think matches the vice class monitor? Boys or girls?”
Fu Hanwen: “I think anyone who can match with the vice class monitor has to be a real man, like…”
Tang Hexing: “Like?”
Fu Hanwen: “Lee Sin.”
Tang Hexing was stunned: “You mean you’d have to be blind to fall for her?”
Fu Hanwen waved it off: “Not blind, mainly because she plays Lee Sin really well.”
Tang Hexing thought for a moment and said: “Actually to be fair, I think the vice class monitor is really cool, like that one-on-one against four enemy heroes earlier—badass. If I were a girl, I’d like her too…”
Fu Hanwen snorted: “Pfft, you’re not a girl and you still like her.”
Tang Hexing: “…”

When Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing returned to the dormitory, it was already past ten in the evening. Pushing open the door, Wang Heng was sitting at his spot.
Fu Hanwen laughed: “Yo, Teacher Wang’s back again? We thought you’d be out all night!”
Wang Heng put down his English book, looked up at them, and said: “Because I feel the need to cram a bit.”
Fu Hanwen was taken aback: “Cram?”
Tang Hexing beside him slapped his thigh: “Oh right, the CET-4 exam is coming up!”
Fu Hanwen was even more shocked—he’d been busy playing games after finals, completely forgetting about this.
“When we graduate and get our degree, the CET-4 certificate is required. Plus first-year university students still have their high school English foundation, heard the pass rate is highest. I remember, all of us in the dorm signed up, right?”
After saying that, Wang Heng looked at his two roommates’ expressions and understood a lot.
So he comforted them: “No worries, there’s another one in December, no rush. And for those who don’t pass CET-4, English class is required, so you can still learn and improve.”
Fu Hanwen and Tang Hexing were like eggplants hit by frost, totally wilted.
After a moment of silence, Tang Hexing couldn’t help asking: “Teacher Wang, do you feel certain about this CET-4 exam?”
Fu Hanwen also asked: “Will you still need to take English class next semester?”
Wang Heng shrugged: “Haven’t taken it yet, who knows…”
Acting cool now was too early—at least wait until grades come out, then casually say ‘I didn’t review much,’ that’d be the most fun.

Extra chapter tomorrow, putting these words here to motivate myself.
