Chapter 2

In her second year of junior high school, Su Yue experienced her first love.

A new student named Daisy transferred to the class. She had red curly hair, a round face, and clear, lake-like green eyes. Her smile revealed shallow dimples. She attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared and was quickly elected as the class beauty.

Every time Su Yue saw Daisy, her heart would skip a beat. As she walked by, she seemed to bring with her a faint floral fragrance, making her feel dreamlike.

This... must be what it means to be moved, right?

"Atop the Blue Sky" was filled with excitement. In the game, he already possessed a kingdom and had married a saintess and a princess, but in reality, he had never even held a girl's hand.

He decided to pursue Daisy.

He had many admirers, including Martin and John.

The two didn't say it outright, but they renamed their game alt accounts "Eternal Daisy" and "Goddess Daisy"—do they think A+ students are blind?

Every day, boys would approach Daisy under various pretexts, their excuses clumsy, like a swarm of flies that she couldn't get rid of.

The competition is fierce, and the situation is critical. Su Yue has no choice but to... use his supernatural abilities!

Every time he got close to Daisy, he would secretly send her mental signals: Look at me, like me...

He could "see" Daisy's emotions as a wad of cotton wool, especially when he got closer, the wad of wool gradually turned a light pink, a color that represented affection.

Daisy saw him more and more often, and finally one day she took the initiative to talk to him: "Su Yue, where do you live?"

Su Yue was stunned, "..." Happiness came too suddenly!

Daisy bit her lower lip, looking slightly shy: "I'd like to visit your house...is that alright?"

The students in the three rows in front and behind all perked up their ears, and the boys cast envious glances, including "Dragon" and "War God".

Su Yue was overjoyed: "Great! Let's walk home together after school!"

My parents were working overtime when I got home, which was perfect timing.

At Su Yue's home.

On the soft, comfortable sofa, his heart pounded like a drum. Seeing Daisy's emotions completely turn into a friendly pink, he immediately gave Daisy the strongest hint: Kiss me!

Hurry. Come quickly.

So, Daisy slowly approached, her slightly upturned pink lips gently touching... Su Yue's lips.

Perfect! Su Yue thought: It's great to have superpowers.

If you listen closely, Daisy's lips are sweet and soft, like strawberry jelly, dreamlike and enchanting.

His greedy gaze swept over the pink aura emanating from Daisy again; he... wanted to savor it too!

The pink emotion also swirled around Daisy, trying to enter Su Yue's body, but was blocked by an invisible barrier around him.

strangeness?

His body was resisting.

This is the class beauty he's been longing for.

He was unwilling to give up. While kissing her, he gently stroked Daisy's curly hair, his fingers reaching towards the pink tufts—he could feel the throbbing sweetness within, just like Daisy's intoxicated expression.

Yet, I have never been able to connect and resonate with it.

wrong……

A thought flashed through Su Yue's mind, and she inexplicably felt a sense of loss... losing interest and forgetting to continue kissing.

The two separated and faced each other in silence.

A moment later, Daisy was the first to regain her senses, her expression changing drastically: "I actually... kissed you? That was my first kiss!"

Su Yue felt a pang of conscience.

He shouldn't have used his powers on Daisy. He should have relied on his true abilities. But it's too late now...

He stammered, "I...I also had my first kiss."

Daisy jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her gentle mask shattering on the floor: "You otaku! Don't you guys all want to give away your first kiss as soon as possible? Don't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefit!"

She pointed at Su Yue's nose: "Su Yue, I misjudged you!"

Su Yue was stunned.

Daisy's shrewish demeanor was completely different from her usual sweetness.

Can a bad first kiss really change a person's personality?

Daisy continued, "I'm so angry! My first kiss is for the girl I like, not some stinky guy!"

Suyue Petrochemical is wronged.

"Daisy, I'm sorry, I didn't know you..."

"It's no use begging, we can't be together." Daisy raised her hand to interrupt him, tilting her head back like a proud queen.

Su Yue's lips twitched. In the end, she lowered her head and obediently replied, "Yes, we can't."

Daisy scoffed, "Good to know. I hate it when people keep pestering me."

"Yes, I will never pester you."

Daisy then calmed down a bit, put her hands on her hips and announced: "Actually, I came to find you because of Super Heroes League - you are 'Blue Sky Peak', right? I am 'Smile Under the Backlight'."

Su Yue was stunned again.

"Smile in Backlight" is his recent formidable rival in the game. They are of the same level and play similar styles, with each winning half of their matches. He always thought his opponent was a shut-in, but it turns out she is Daisy, the class beauty?

Daisy shrugged: "I overheard you chatting with Martin and John once and learned your ID. I've never lost this badly in this game before, so I wanted to see you in person. I never expected... you stole my first kiss, and your kissing skills are terrible!"

Su Yue wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I never expected... Daisy to be this kind of person."

The sweet class beauty is actually a sharp-tongued lesbian in private... If this gets out, the boys in the class will probably all have a meltdown.

Daisy seemed to know what he was thinking. She snorted and pointed at his nose, "Trying to talk bad about me? I'm warning you, I'm very popular in class, nobody believes you. If you dare to say anything, I'll broadcast your terrible kissing skills and make sure you never get a girlfriend for the rest of your life!"

Su Yue's face turned deathly pale. What terrible luck had befallen him?

But Daisy's imposing aura left Su Yue trembling as he replied, "I won't say... I wish you," he lowered his voice, "to get fatter and fatter."

Daisy's eyes widened: "What?"

Su Yue quickly changed her tune: "I wish you become more and more beautiful!"

Daisy turned her head proudly: "Of course."

Su Yue: "..."

I've forgotten how I got rid of this plague. The next day, Martin and John excitedly came to inquire about the details of the date, but Su Yue didn't dare utter a word.

Daisy was staring at him from a short distance away, mouthing, "Don't talk nonsense."

Martin bumped his shoulder: "Having a date with your goddess was awesome, huh?" "Fatty, I'm so envious!"

Su Yue's face turned ashen: "...Awesome." She swallowed the last two words through tears: Yeah, right!

"Damn, showing off, huh!" Martin punched him, and John also yelled that he wanted game equipment as compensation, or else they would break off their friendship.

Su Yue silently gazed at the sky. Daisy smiled sweetly at him.

His brief first love ended tragically. But the misfortune didn't end there. In class, Daisy had something on him, constantly ordering him around to buy snacks and do chores.

Others envied his close relationship with the goddess.

My heart is breaking, but I can't say it.

Back in the game, "Smile Under the Backlight" entangled with "Peak of the Blue Sky," setting up a duel and forbidding him from winning. Su Yue was forced to become his sparring partner, losing nine games in a row, his points plummeted, and he was on the verge of losing his castle!

He had no choice but to offer up equipment as tribute, begging the great god to show mercy.

Early relationships come at a really high price.

In the end, Su Yue abandoned "Super Hero League" and angrily turned to a new hobby: drawing.

Perhaps due to his special ability, he can capture the colors and shapes of others' emotions, and his portraits are always imbued with rich feelings, making him unique. He received constant praise from his teachers and won awards in national youth art competitions. After graduating from junior high school, he was recommended to attend Horton Vocational High School, a school renowned for its arts and sports programs, located in a different district.

Most students go on to high schools within their own district; very few, like him, go to schools outside their district.

Surprisingly, Martin and John also went to Houghton High School. It's said that they chose game animation as their major, but their academic performance was mediocre, and their families had to pay additional sponsorship fees.

Upon learning that her best friend was in the same school and had completely gotten rid of Daisy, Su Yue began to look forward to high school life.

Unfortunately, he was naive.

Perhaps fate, after careful consideration, decided that his life had been too smooth so far—though he had a disastrous first love, it had been relatively uneventful—and thus decided to let him experience the taste of bullying in high school.
