Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

Of course I remember.

This was Cheng Cheng's hundredth confession to Toyokawa Sho.

Cheng Cheng is not Lu Mingfei after all. Although he also has the characteristics of a shut-in, he is very clean-cut and handsome. He also likes sports and is the captain of the school basketball team. In terms of personality, he is not particularly outgoing but not withdrawn either. He gets along well in various small groups in the class and is well-regarded by the girls in the class.

This type of boy, in theory, should be one of the most popular types in junior high schools.

But for some reason, his confessions of love were never successful.

It wasn't that he was completely unsuccessful. For example, the first time he tried, the girl he liked in elementary school agreed to date him on the spot—but the next day her parents took her away from the city for work, and he never saw her again.

The girl who confessed to him a second time also agreed, and even took Cheng Cheng's hand on the spot.

Then her whole family was transferred to work in Africa.

As a result, a strange campus legend even spread: any girl who was confessed to by Cheng Cheng would have her parents move away from Dongshui City that same day due to work reasons; and if she accepted Cheng Cheng's confession, she would vanish the next day, and everyone would forget that person's existence.

Some girls who were attracted to Cheng Cheng's good looks still refused to believe the curse. Relying on the fact that her father was the owner of a listed company, she not only agreed directly, but also kissed Cheng Cheng on the cheek on the spot, thinking that she would not be transferred again because of the curse of agreeing to confess.

The next day, her father's company stock price plummeted, and he went bankrupt overnight. He was also found guilty of soliciting and accepting bribes and was imprisoned.

After that, no girl dared to agree anymore.

As a result, no matter how Cheng Cheng confessed his feelings, the girl would always reject him with a look of disgust or fear.

This made Cheng Cheng wonder if he was cursed by some demon... But as a hot-blooded junior high school boy, Cheng Cheng could not give up his dream of successfully dating before entering high school.

After all, girls are already old by the time they reach high school.

So he never stopped confessing his feelings to the girl... Besides the dream, another reason was that he was addicted to watching the CG of the girl's disgusted face.

He planned to complete his collection of 100 JC disdainful faces before entering high school, and Toyokawa Sho was the 100th one.

"Tsk, you're so boring."

Seeing that Cheng Cheng didn't react at all no matter how much he provoked him, the school bully got bored.

Just as he was about to leave, he caught sight of the henchman who had followed him. He smiled, looked at the henchman with deep affection in front of Cheng Cheng, and reenacted a scene: "Feng Chuanxiang! I love you! I've already missed too much of your life, so I want to give you my whole life! I want to experience all of your stories firsthand!"

The younger brother immediately understood what his boss meant and gave him a disgusted look: "How much determination did you have to say that? You're just an ordinary student, can you afford to take on other people's lives? Don't talk about things you can't do."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.

Cheng Cheng finally raised his head, looking impatiently at the school bully and his henchmen: "Are you here to cause trouble?"

"Yes." The school bully nodded. "What, you're not convinced?"

"As far as I remember, although I haven't had much interaction with you, I've never offended you either." Cheng Cheng frowned. "Can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple."

At this point, the school bully's face turned cold: "Do you still remember Su Youli?"

Cheng Cheng certainly remembered.

Su Youli is the bassist in Toyokawa Sho's band, and also the object of his ninety-eighth confession.

When this guy confessed his feelings to her, he actually lied and said that she liked girls in order to reject her, which was quite a rare confession.

Furthermore, she seems to be a cousin of Su Qianqian, the school beauty from the neighboring school, and Su Qianqian's brother, Su Yuan, is a friend he met while playing basketball outside; he was beaten up by Su Yuan before he could even confess his feelings to Su Qianqian, dying before he could even begin, leaving him with an eternal regret...

"So, why are you bringing her up?" Cheng Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Was it because you beat up seven or eight thugs who were trying to harass her on the street that triggered your confession to Su Youli?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

The school bully roared, "My brother is one of those thugs! He just got out of jail for assault and was still on probation when you beat him up and sent him to the hospital. He was also detained for harassing a girl!"

Cheng Cheng: "...Isn't this a good deed?"

"I don't care!" The school bully raised his head. "If you dare to hit my brother, you'd better be prepared to be bullied by me!"

Cheng Cheng: "...You mean, you know I've been doing martial arts since elementary school, I was planning to take the sports-related college entrance exam in high school, and I can take down seven or eight adults by myself, including a violent criminal who was just released from prison... Under these circumstances, you still bully me?"

School bully: "Yeah! If you know what's good for you, come with me to the toilet, I'll beat you up and that'll be the end of it!"

Cheng Cheng: "Where...do you get your confidence? Don't you know you can't beat me?"

"I bully you because I know you're strong! If you weren't strong, I wouldn't bully you!" the school bully chuckled. "I don't hold back because of the weak, nor do I shrink back because of the strong. I only ever raise my sword against the stronger. That's my domineering way!"

Cheng Cheng: "You might die?"

"So what? If I wouldn't dare bully you just because you're strong, wouldn't I have been dead from the start?"

"Eat?"

Very good, I acknowledge your Will of Fire.

"...Let's go then. Call a few more people. I'm a little upset because my confession was rejected."

…………

"This is the third time! This is the third time Cheng Cheng has been involved in a fight at school!"

In the teachers' office, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 3, angrily slammed the medical test reports of the school bully and his gang into Cheng's father's arms: "Take a good look! This is your son!"

Mr. Cheng stared in disbelief at the report in his hand, then breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the other party had only suffered a minor bone fracture. He glared at Cheng Cheng with displeasure: "Speak! Do you know you were wrong?!"

Cheng Cheng nodded helplessly: "I was wrong."

"Good to know." Father Cheng was finally satisfied. "Don't forget, my expectation for you is to become a top strategist like Cheng Yu, not a martial artist like Cheng Yu! I've taught you so many times how to hit someone hard without leaving a mark, how come you can't remember!"

Cheng Cheng pouted, looking aggrieved: "They're not good people either, they're just bullying me... I'm already doing pretty well that I managed to hold back when I was fighting five of them."

head teacher:"???"

Is this the normal way of educating people?

"Hey!" The homeroom teacher gritted her teeth, and after confirming that Cheng's father was not a normal human being, she turned to Cheng's mother, "Is this how you usually educate your children?"

"No, no, no, it's all thanks to our ancestors," Mother Cheng said modestly. "I fed this child rice gruel from a young age and enrolled him in traditional martial arts training classes, which is why he grew so tall and strong..."

Class teacher: "I was referring to his fighting!"

"What happened?" Cheng's mother asked, puzzled. "The child who got beaten up is a school bully. He made several other kids afraid to go to school before, right?"

"One thing at a time, their grandfather is the village chief of Konoha..."

Cheng's mother glanced at the homeroom teacher with disappointment: "I once heard Confucius say, 'To offer sacrifices to spirits that are not one's own is flattery. To see what is right and not do it is cowardice.' To see injustice on the road or in the presence of others that is morally right and should be stopped, yet stand idly by and do nothing, is cowardice."

"Then why fight? You could have just told the teacher..."

Confucius also said, "How should we repay kindness? We should repay injustice with justice and kindness with kindness."

The homeroom teacher twitched the corner of his mouth, holding back for a long time before finally saying, "...Good."

No, I can't explain this to this family!

Just as he was about to lash out, he heard Sister Cheng say from the side, "I think you're right, teacher. No matter what, you shouldn't fight!"

The homeroom teacher's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected that there would be a normal human being in this family!

"If you're going to fight, you should fight in bed!" the older sister mused. "Originally, Cheng Cheng was the bottom and the school bully was the top. After the school bully was beaten down, Cheng Cheng became the top instead of the bottom... Such an exciting plot point, and it actually happened in a dirty place like the men's restroom! I can't accept it!"

Well, this has even less to do with humans.

Just as the homeroom teacher was about to lose his temper, the office door was suddenly kicked open, and seven or eight men in suits walked in, leading the school bully whose head was wrapped in bandages.

The school bully's eyes lit up the moment he saw Cheng Cheng, his domineering nature instantly activated, and he began to mock, "Haha, Cheng Cheng, you didn't expect this, did you? My family invited a high-ranking official from the bureau this time! You're definitely going to be expelled this time! Hehe! You're finished, you're finished!"

The man in the lead stepped forward, not even glancing at Cheng's father, and tossed a stack of documents to the homeroom teacher: "These are the principal's documents. Sign them and get this student expelled!"

The homeroom teacher's face paled, but she still reached out and tugged at Cheng's father's sleeve: "Hey, make Cheng Cheng apologize right now. The child's studies are the most important thing..."

"An apology? You think an apology is enough?!" the leader roared. "This student has poor character and must be expelled!"

“Parent, I understand how you feel, but…” the homeroom teacher wanted to offer some more advice.

At this moment, Mr. Cheng also picked up his phone, forcing a smile: "This gentleman is the owner of Yuanha Brewery, and I'm also a friend of Officer Qiao... Do you think we can settle this privately? Let's do each other a favor..."

"Compensation? Paying money is easy. You should make the student break his own hand. That's what compensation is!"

"Parents, please don't get so angry..."

bother.

Looking at the mess in the office, Cheng Cheng hung his head, looking listless and feeling extremely frustrated.

Why should one consider the gains and losses when performing acts of heroism? Why should one apologize to a bully after teaching them a lesson?

Why are all my family members so weird?

Why are they all so bizarre... yet they still love me, still support me, still protect me, leaving me with no reason to vent?

Why... can't I find a partner?!

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. With a sharp blade in hand and a murderous aura emanating from him, he looked at the chaotic group of people, at the malice in their hearts, at the school bully who, even beaten like this, didn't forget to harass them. Cheng Cheng's hands clenched tighter and tighter, his anger rising ever higher. He really wanted to kill these people…

Just then, light shone from behind him, as if lightning had broken through the dark clouds, and someone forcefully pushed open the office door.

In one's life, there are always a few times when one feels as if the gates of heaven have opened. Cheng Cheng waited for fourteen years, and at his most agitated moment, the gates opened.

The angel who walked in scanned the surroundings, his gaze sharp as a knife.

It was a pink-purple-haired girl whose beauty was beyond description, followed by the principal and the bureau leaders who were trembling behind her.

Everyone fell silent. This outsider who had suddenly barged in overshadowed everyone present with her brilliance—she was too dazzling, far too dazzling, so dazzling that Cheng Cheng thought she was just there to show off.

"Cheng Cheng, I've been waiting for you for so long, are you still playing these childish games?"

The pink-haired girl walked up to Cheng Cheng and spoke in a clear, icy voice that everyone could hear.

Her loose, pinkish-purple hair was neatly combed, and she wore black shorts and a moon-white silk blouse, revealing smooth, plump thighs with skin as smooth as silk; but her eyes, those eyes that looked down on everything and looked down on all things, made everyone feel more of an indescribable sense of terrifying oppression than being captivated by her beauty.

Everyone stared at Cheng Cheng, their eyes seemingly asking: What is your relationship with this beautiful woman?

"Oh, I..."

Cheng Cheng was stunned; he had never felt this way before.

"Come on, let's go on a date."

The girl waved and went straight up to Cheng Cheng, hugging his arm. The soft touch and fragrance almost made him faint with happiness. Then she frowned, clapped her hands, and two exquisitely made-up girls pounced on Cheng Cheng like wolves, taking off his clothes and changing him out of his school uniform into a set of clothes that looked outrageously expensive.

"This school uniform is awful." The girl pulled a comb from her small bag and turned to comb Cheng Cheng's hair from behind, her gentleness somewhere between that of his mother and his sister. "How is it? Does this look good? I think it suits you very well."
