In the cafeteria, in front of everyone, the person confessing to me is my high school classmate Zhang Peng.

He had pursued me in high school, but I rejected him.

I didn't expect him to come all the way to the United States to pursue me again.

Zhang Peng has a baby face and looks very cute. I used to call him "Little Milk Dog".

Unfortunately, he's not my type.

I sighed and pushed away the love letter he held above his head.

"Zhang Peng, I've told you several times that I don't like you. Please stop doing this."

However, Zhang Peng is known for being shameless.

A mischievous smile appeared on his delicate baby face as he reached out a gentlemanly hand towards me. "Qingqing, be my girlfriend, I'm serious."

He always says he's serious.

I also seriously answered him, "I don't like you, stop bothering me."

Zhang Peng is handsome, but I don't like him.

I always feel that he looks very immature and does not match my type at all, let alone being in a relationship.

The image of Gilbert fills my mind and I can't get rid of it no matter how hard I try.

Could it be that I really have feelings for him?

Wait a minute!

Forget it, why am I having illusions?

Gilbert walks towards me with a cold face, holding a tray of food.

He comes close to me and asks softly, "Sister, you're mine, how can you be with another man?"

Before I could explain, Zhang Peng interposes himself between us, showing a hostile attitude towards Gilbert.

"Who are you? Do you know the meaning of 'first come, first served'? Qingqing is mine!"

Since it's the beginning of the school year, it's normal for new students to not know new teachers.

The cafeteria is busy, and some people even watch the drama while eating.

We're speaking in Chinese, and not many people understand.

Gilbert also doesn't like Zhang Peng, he holds my hand and shows a pitiful expression.

"Sister, you said you're mine, you can't be with this man."

Zhang Peng, like a fly, keeps buzzing around my ear.

"Qingqing, be my girlfriend. This guy is obviously a gigolo in a nightclub. He'll definitely scam your money!"

Oh, he really hit the nail on the head.

Gilbert does work as a male model on the side.

"I belong to myself, not any of you. Don't disturb me while I'm eating!"

I sit in a corner with Xiaoling, while the two men sit not far from me, watching me vigilantly.

Xiaoling teases me, "Qingqing, what's the deal with that Thai male model? Did he come specifically for you?"

I shake my head, "Who knows. Don't speak too loudly, he must be in need of money to become a model. Everyone has difficulties sometimes."

I do sympathize with Gilbert. Such a handsome man, not choosing to be a good teacher and becoming a model to earn money.

He must be having a tough time, right?

Every time I think about Gilbert's difficult circumstances, my heart aches and I slowly start to feel sympathy for him.

In the following days, Zhang Peng indeed stopped bothering me. I learned from Xiaoling that it was probably because of Gilbert.

In physics class, I was daydreaming because I couldn't understand.

Gilbert, who looks noble and refined on the stage, suddenly called my name, "Qingqing, could you please come up here and draw the principle of this mechanical operation?"

All eyes instantly focused on me.

My mind suddenly cleared.

Damn it, Gilbert knows very well that I'm terrible at physics, yet he's making me embarrass myself on stage!

I curse inwardly while looking at Gilbert's innocent face, hating him to the point of itching.

I can't even understand the question on the board!

After hesitating for a while, I reluctantly walk towards the podium.

All the while, I'm thinking about how to solve this problem. I completely fail to notice a girl extending her foot and fiercely kicking my calf.

"Ah!"

I stumble and my whole body falls onto the cold floor.
