After the initial shock wore off, the classroom finally settled back down, but everyone couldn't help but stare at Su Ming and Tian Keke. Their eyes were filled with a mix of astonishment, disbelief, envy, and wonder—in short, their gazes were incredibly complex.
As the central figures, Tian Keke felt immense pressure under so many eyes. She secretly pinched Su Ming's waist hard. Su Ming forced a wry smile. At that moment, he was the picture of cool confidence, having completely defeated Ye Siwen.
Ye Siwen hadn't expected Su Ming to pull this move and looked quite embarrassed. He quickly put on a displeased expression and blurted out, "Su Ming, you, you, how dare you kiss someone in the classroom? Kissing is one thing, but acting so nonchalant about it? Do you think the school has no discipline? Who gave you permission to kiss during class time?"
"Heh! Teacher, we're just comparing our character, aren't we? What's there to be angry about? Why don't you punish me or report me to the disciplinary committee instead?" Su Ming wasn't worried about Ye Siwen causing trouble for him again.
Ye Siwen snorted in anger. He *did* consider reporting Su Ming, but he couldn't afford to lose face. After all, he had been the one to initiate the character comparison. Now that he had lost, any further harassment would make him a laughingstock.
With a look of frustration, Ye Siwen stormed out of the classroom. He couldn't bear to stay there for another minute, his heart burning with resentment. *That student is such a bastard! Last time he got me in trouble with the principal, and now he's made me lose face again! How utterly despicable!*

Class Two-Nine erupted in a commotion, and the surrounding students all looked at Su Ming with admiration. "Damn, you actually made Ye the Beast so mad he's about to die! That's awesome!"
"Impressive! Ye the Beast must be grinding his teeth right now, probably already plotting how to get back at you!"
"Haha... You're really a man! Kissing her right in front of everyone! Are you guys dating? You two seem really close!"
Many students were curious about this. After all, Tian Keke, the fiery beauty, was only second to Qin Yuan, the school's top beauty, in terms of how hard she was to pursue. They wondered how Su Ming had managed to win over such a fiery woman.
"What are you looking at, you motherfuckers? Annoying as hell!" Tian Keke, feeling the heat of their gazes, snapped back with a crude curse.
"Hmph... It's just dating. What's the big deal? I'll be dating soon too!" one student muttered, trying to console himself.
Su Ming glanced at his classmates, ignoring their chatter. Inside, he was relishing the earlier incident. Making that guy so angry had put him in a fantastic mood.
Li Gao shot Su Ming an envious glance and suddenly asked, "Alright, Su Ming, when did you manage to snag Tian Keke? I didn't know anything about this. Spill the beans—did you take her to a hotel yet?"
"Damn, am I that kind of guy?" Su Ming replied, looking like a proper gentleman. He glanced at Li Gao, whose envious expression dimmed.
Li Gao let out a long sigh. "I really can't tell. But you're one hell of a guy, actually landing that hot girl. I'm so jealous. Ugh, I can't stand watching this. Class is over—let's get out of here fast."
Su Ming glanced over but paid no mind. Tian Keke, inexperienced in romance, felt increasingly self-conscious under the students' strange looks. She blushed and fled the classroom.
"Hey, you idiot! You're breaking up with Sister Tian?" Li Lili, small and cute, glared at him with her sparkling eyes.
"Fine, I'll break up with her. Want to be my girlfriend instead?" Su Ming saw her small, sparkling eyes narrow in a huffy expression. *What's it to you if Tian Keke and I are together? You're so bossy! I haven't settled the score from last time, and now you're stirring up trouble again? I can't resist teasing you when you're like this.*
"Hmph! Shameless fool! Who wants to be your girlfriend?" Li Lili straightened her waist, striking a bossy pose as she roared, "Get lost! I don't want to see your face for another second!"
"Then why don't you get lost? This isn't your house, so stop bossing me around!" Su Ming shot her a look, finding her utterly barbaric. Qin Yuan, standing beside them, remained silent throughout, her face set in a stony expression.
Su Ming knew she must have been furious yesterday, and this proud woman was probably still seething. As their eyes met, she seemed to sense his gaze and glanced back at him. She quickly turned away with a snort, her cheeks flushing slightly as she recalled the previous day's events.
"Fine! I admit my luck's been terrible today—two women have already rejected me." Su Ming rubbed his nose dejectedly.
"Su Ming, can you do me a favor?" Suddenly, a wicked glint flashed across the little girl's face, but she quickly suppressed it before speaking to him.
*How could I possibly agree to this?* Su Ming thought. *Even an idiot could see she's planning another prank. Damn this troublesome loli—does she want another lesson?*
"You actually refused?!" Li Lili seemed furious, rushing over to snatch his math textbook.
"So what if I refused? You think you can get away with attacking my books?" Su Ming swiftly tucked the textbook into his desk, giving her no chance to grab it. *Damn it, that old trick won't work on me anymore!*
Li Lili looked disappointed, her beautiful eyes narrowed fiercely before darting toward Su Ming's chair. She lifted a pink leg and kicked under the seat. "Ouch!" Tears nearly sprang to her eyes, and her footing faltered. She stumbled forward, landing squarely on Su Ming, and their lips met in an unexpected, intimate kiss...
"So soft," Su Ming thought, savoring the moment. The kiss was light, tender, and moist—a pure, innocent kiss from a loli, carrying a unique, enchanting flavor...
"You bastard, Su Ming! You actually kissed me! I'll kick you to the moon!" Li Lili's face flushed crimson as she realized she was kissing Su Ming. She felt like crying.
*I tried to pick a fight and ended up losing my first kiss! Waaah!* *That damn Su Ming! You owe me my first kiss!*
