I practically ran to the back yard of the school without taking a breath. Since it was located at the back, it was relatively quiet and there were hardly any students around. The bushes and trees here formed a unique landscape.

Crack, bang! I could vaguely hear sounds up ahead, so I adjusted my breathing and slowly crouched down, moving closer towards the bushes that concealed me. Crack, bang! The sounds became clearer, and I peered out slightly. Two metres in front of me was a sturdy tree, with a heavy sandbag hanging from a thick branch. A petite girl in a green sports uniform with pretty golden pigtails was fiercely hitting the sandbag with her small fists, causing it to swing widely.

Though the branch remained unscathed, the leaves fell off with a rustle. I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The person who caused this astonishing sight was a seemingly frail girl. She was sweating all over, gasping for air, and crystal beads of sweat occasionally dripped down her delicate face.

Bang, bang! The punches came again heavily. I seemed to sense that she was pouring out her youth. Unknowingly, I became lost in watching her. "You jerk, are you enjoying yourself spying on me?" I was kicked down by a flying kick.

What happened? My mind was blank. All I remembered was watching her intently and even forgetting that I was spying. I stood up abruptly and rubbed my aching chest. Slowly, my blurry vision became clear, and I saw Su Yuqian standing a short distance away through the bushes, looking very angry.

"It's you again, you idiotic pervert stalker and voyeur!" When did I earn so many nasty titles? "Last time you were taught a lesson, yet you still haven't changed..." Su Yuqian was trembling with anger, "You actually spied on me while I was boxing. You perverted freak, go to hell!" It seemed that Su Yuqian was really angry. She walked up to me with half a step distance and kicked me in the face. Oh dear, I felt my nosebleed flying.

"Dirty, low, perverted freak!" After several consecutive kicks, I fell to the ground again. It felt like my whole face was swollen. While Su Yuqian was catching her breath and adjusting herself, I interrupted her. Kneeling on both knees, I said, "I... really want you to be my girlfriend..." Here we go again? I subconsciously covered my mouth. Last time, I got drenched from head to toe because of this. I shouldn't be so excited. I should adjust my breathing and accurately express my thoughts. So I took a deep breath and said, "Su Yuqian, please be my girlfriend. Although I did some inappropriate things before, I apologize. But my love for you is genuine."

"What... are you blabbering about?" Su Yuqian's face turned red, but her tone was completely dehumanizing towards me. "I'm serious..." I said earnestly.

"Stop dreaming!" Su Yuqian spoke loudly, then kicked me in the face again. After my body rotated 360 degrees, I fell heavily to the ground. How could I have a chance if I was not even good enough for her? My heart felt fragile and it was as if it would break at any moment. Was I dreaming?

"If I catch you stalking or peeking at me again, be prepared to pick up your teeth from the ground!" Su Yuqian kicked a nearby tree hard, and the leaves fell down, burying my body. "Ah... just let me sink into the soil along with the fallen leaves. I don't want to live anymore." I felt hopeless and unable to move. I watched Su Yuqian leave, never expecting to be not even good enough for her. How could I have any chance now? I thought to myself in despair.
