Chapter 49: I Prefer the Little Ones!

Jack patted his head and immediately stepped out of the classroom.

The girl waiting outside was dressed in a white top with a short skirt, sporting black tights that resembled pantyhose, and a pair of canvas shoes—she exuded youthfulness. She appeared to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, which made her significantly older than Jack.

The girl glanced at Jack, and her eyes suddenly sparkled, "You're Jack!"

"Yes…" Jack replied with a smile, although it was somewhat awkward.

"You're so young!" The girl's eyes flashed with delight, "But I like them young!"

Jack didn't respond, sensing the woman's intentions for approaching him.

"Let's date!" The girl said with a slight smile. While her looks were not top-notch, her youthful vitality made her smile quite memorable. The girl had a nice figure, and standing there in her attire, she easily had the charm to knock out any normal man.

"Do I look that young?" Jack inquired.

"Don't change the subject," the girl said with a gentle anger.

"I think this topic needs further discussion!" Jack felt irritated inside. How was he small? He was only one or two years younger than this girl; how did that make him small? She was too much, coming up to him and calling him young. Which of his eyes looked young to her?

But the girl seemed to hold on to her belief firmly, her eyes fixed on Jack.

After staring for a while, she said: "Date me or not."

Jack felt a bit frazzled by the thought.

"I like you!" the girl proclaimed.

"I've liked you for a long time!"

"Really, I've liked you for a very long time, look into my eyes!"

"I like the way you fight, I like your smiling face, I like your gentle temper. In short, I've been observing you for a long time, Jack, marry me... oh no, I mean, be my boyfriend. I will definitely fatten you up!" The girl seemed well-rehearsed with what she had to say, delivering the words fluently.

As she spoke, she didn't even blink.

After saying this, the girl kept her gaze fixed on Jack, looking once, twice, thrice, waiting for Jack's response.

Jack remained silent.

"Jack, say yes!"

Some onlookers in the class started to egg him on.

A few boys even opened a window and started whistling loudly, shouting: "Jack, just agree, the girl is confessing so sincerely, how can you be indifferent? Just say yes, you don't get chances like this every day. If it were me, I would have agreed already!"

It must be said, when some people egg you on, it really does elevate the atmosphere. At the very least, it made it difficult for Jack to refuse.

Sometimes, it's the cheering of others that pushes male-female relationships to happen.

Right now, Jack felt like there was no clear path forward, but absolutely no way back.

She had all the time in the world.

There was no rush, just waiting for Jack to agree.

"Say yes!"

"Ha-ha, come on Jack, say yes!"

More and more people gathered to watch.

Jack felt like nowadays girls had thicker skins than boys.

The world was getting crazier; people who took drugs now learned to add rat poison during their high.

You only die once in life; wouldn't it be a pity not to try what rat poison tastes like before death?

"..." Jack crumbled again.

"How many times has this been?"

In the classroom, a group of girls said.

"Not so clear!"

"He's never agreed, he has received so many love letters and Jack has never agreed."

"The kid has strong resolve!" Fren wanted to give Jack a thumbs-up, "So many girls have confessed to him and he's as steady as Mount Tai. It's rare to find a guy like him!"

"Of course, Jack's a good guy."

In the eyes of many, Jack was gentle and modest, knew when to step in to help, and had extraordinary composure. He was unflustered by the multitude of girls confessing their feelings to him. If one thought about it that way, even Jack himself felt he suddenly shone with radiant light.

"I refuse!"

Jack took in a deep breath and turned to leave after saying those words. Since he had refused, it was best to do it directly, to avoid hurting someone's feelings and causing them to lose face,

"He refused—"

"This guy actually refused?"

Many passersby sighed.

But for the people in the classroom, there wasn't much surprise because it wasn't the first or second girl to come looking for Jack these few days. Each had a different temperament, appearance, and style of dress, but none had ever received a yes from Jack.

So, it was not strange at all.

"Classmate, don't be discouraged!" someone said, offering consolation. 

"Classmate, well done, don't be discouraged!"

"Classmate, since Jack rejected you, would you consider me? I've been observing you for a long time, and I like girls like you who are straightforward!" a male student suddenly shouted, thinking this was a great opportunity to hit on her.

This male student had a buzz cut, a square face, and a very gentle smile.

Women care about their face, and being rejected definitely stings, but if someone confesses to them at that moment, even if the girl verbally doesn't accept, she would still feel pleased inside. At this time, it signifies that the guy has successfully taken the first step.

Having taken the first step, it's much easier to take the second.

This was his experience in chasing girls.

"Ah, ha!" The square-faced boy said with a slight smile, "I know, and I don't care. The person I like, even if she likes someone else, I won't say much. I only like the person I like! To be honest, when I saw you having the courage to confess just now, I was deeply attracted by you."

If it were any other girl, she would be overjoyed to hear this.

Encountering such a persistent man would definitely make her fall for him.

She came here to confess to Jack purely to fulfill a mission, so why encounter such an oblivious guy? She was quite happy when she completed the task assigned by her elder sister, but seeing this not-so-charming guy confess to her, her joy faded away.

She glanced at the sky.

"The mission is completed!"

The corners of her mouth lifted in a smirk, thinking that Jack really could hold his own; indifferent to so many girls' confessions, such a man is truly worth entrusting oneself to.

She left the Chinese Studies department.

Who knew that the square-faced guy would persistently chase after her?

"Scram!"

Upon hearing this, the square-faced guy stood there stunned, completely clueless as to which step he took wrong that led to such disdain from the girl.
