The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

Finally, school was over. Kevin stood up, stretched, and decided to go to the place where he met that girl last night again after dinner, to see if he could see her again.

That monster also bothered him. He hadn't found any information about it at home last night, he'd have to continue searching.

"Let's go, Su. Take me to see the area around the school, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Kevin very naturally dragged his best friend towards the school gate, but Su clearly didn't agree with this idea. "Now? You're thinking too much, Kevin. You definitely won't be able to get out of the school gates at this time…"

"Huh? Why?" Kevin glanced at Su, puzzled, not understanding why his friend would think that. But the next moment, the army that surged out of every classroom doorway like hungry dogs released from their cages completely explained the reason to him.

"Senior Lee is coming out, hurry!"

"Don't push me, this spot is mine!"

"Senior Lee, heh heh heh, my Senior Lee~"

Looking at the horde of students rushing towards him like a zombie outbreak, even Kevin couldn't help but show a look of horror.

The day after the alien beast invasion is a zombie outbreak? Is this world really crazy?!

"Su, what's going on?!"

"Senior Lee is getting out of school, you see. Lots of people want to take this time to see her, some want to confess…" Su, being dragged along, spread his hands helplessly. "After all, Senior Lee doesn't want them to bother her friends, so she specifically sets aside some time after school to reject their confessions." He added as an aside, "If I were you, I definitely wouldn't be standing in this spot."

"Why? Is there something wrong with this place?" Kevin looked around in confusion. He was currently standing at the stairwell leading downstairs and didn't see anything unusual around him.

Could Su mean that standing near the stairs in such a crowded place made it easy to be pushed over? But he should know his physical fitness…

"Hey, you two guys, don't just stand there!"

Kevin's confusion was answered in less than two seconds, because he found that the 'zombie horde' had very tacitly stopped about two meters away from him, and were all staring at him fiercely. "You're blocking Senior Lee's path, you know?!"

"Yeah, what if you cause trouble for Senior Lee?!"

"If you really like Senior Lee, you should understand not to make her troubled, got it?!"

Kevin: "..."

They're really crazy, these guys are all like cult followers!

Just who is this Senior Lee? Did she brainwash the entire school?

Just as this thought popped into Kevin's mind, he noticed that these voices scolding him suddenly fell silent.

"Then it's settled then, I'll pick you up then, and we'll go to the concert together~"

"?!"

The moment he heard the voice from behind him, Kevin's pupils suddenly shrank.

He couldn't be wrong, he would never forget this voice!

Kevin hurriedly turned his head, and what came into view was the moonlit white hair, exactly like last night, and the bright, clear blue eyes.

Could there really be such a coincidence in this world? The person he had been thinking about all day today suddenly appeared right in front of him?

"You, you are—"

"Good afternoon, Su." However, the figure before him didn't respond to Kevin's greeting first, but smiled and looked at Su, who he was dragging along. "Be careful on your way home."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior, I will." Su still had his eyes closed, looking calm and collected, only the slight blush on his face betrayed his uncalm heart.

?

What's going on with Su—wait, could it be that the Senior Lee he mentioned is?!

Kevin was shocked, and just as he was about to ask, he saw the other person put a finger to her lips with a smile.

'It's a secret, okay?'

The next moment, she walked past Kevin with a mischievous smile.

…

"Kevin, Senior has been gone for a long time."

When the dim yellow light of the setting sun shone into the corridor, Su, who had been carried by Kevin the whole time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him, "No need to keep staring, there will be chances to see her tomorrow if you want to."

"Ah… Eh?"

Belatedly snapping back to reality, Kevin then realized that the previously crowded people were long gone, leaving only himself and Su, who he was still holding, standing blankly in place.

"That girl, is she the Senior Lee you mentioned?"

"Or else?" Su sighed and shook his head. "Some people said they weren't interested in her just a few hours ago, but after seeing the real person, they can't even walk anymore… Kevin, who do you think this person is?"

"I've decided."

After a brief silence, Kevin silently clenched his fist. "I'm going to confess to her!"

"Oh." Su just responded to Kevin's declaration of love with a single sound, and then had no other reaction.

"Why are you so calm?" Kevin looked at Su in confusion. "Don't you also have feelings for her?"

"I'm not like you guys who just rush up because you think Senior Lee is pretty, okay? Mine is admiration, do you understand? What I admire is Senior Lee's noble soul!"

Su confidently flicked his hair in front of his forehead. "By the way, if you want to confess, you'll have to wait at least two months."

"Two months later? Why?"

Kevin was a little confused. Isn't confessing something you do on the spur of the moment, just finding her the next day and going for it?

Rejection didn't matter, Kevin had long been prepared to be rejected. The reason he confessed was just to declare his feelings to her.

Even if rejected, Kevin would continue to express his love until she agreed one day.

Kevin touched his heart. Although it was still beating, he knew that on a spiritual level, it had already been taken away by Lee last night. If he couldn't pursue Lee in this life, then he would devote himself entirely to the process of pursuing Lee.

The flames of his love were burning fiercely!!!

Of course, Su could see Kevin's thoughts, but even so, he had to pour a bucket of cold water on him. "Because the line of people waiting to confess to Senior Lee is already scheduled for three months from now."

"If you want to confess, you have to coordinate a time in advance. After all, Senior Lee's time is precious, and she can only spare time to deal with five people each day." Su shrugged nonchalantly. "You also know that our school has a junior high division. Adding both sides up, there are more than a thousand people who are smitten with Senior Lee."

"Also, the result of all confessions is rejection, you'd know that if you thought about it… Although Senior Lee is very kind to everyone, the only person who is truly close to her is Mei from the class next door. You know, that purple-haired girl who was walking next to Senior Lee when she came downstairs just now."

"Walking next to her?" Kevin blinked, his bright eyes full of confusion. "Was there someone like that?"

"You really don't see anyone besides your target, huh…"
