Me, a Nobody, Became the Villainess's White Moonlight? - Volume 1 Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Fell Asleep

***

“Aren’t you going back to class?”

“How can I be at ease leaving you here alone?”

There are always piles of school uniforms left in the storage room every year, in all sizes. Yu Chuyao usually wears size M, although it’s still a bit loose, but school uniforms are mostly worn over regular clothes anyway, so being a bit bigger isn’t really an issue.

When she returned with the new uniform, Yu Chuyao asked with a puzzled expression.

The class bell had already rung, and even if she went back now, it would be too late. Normally, returning at this time would definitely result in getting caught by teachers patrolling the campus, inevitably leading to criticism.

But Tang Xiaorou wasn’t afraid of these things. She was known as a rebellious student in their grade, but crucially, she had good grades, was spoiled by her parents, and teachers couldn’t do anything about her.

Yu Chuyao wasn’t a child anymore, she could rest here by herself and then return to class, but Tang Xiaorou was simply staying here because she wanted to be with her.

She noticed this but didn’t point it out. At least someone cared about her, a treatment that no one except her family had ever shown her.

“Did you forget? When we came out, I already had Ran Xia go ask the teacher for permission slips.”

Really? Her head was spinning at that time, how could she remember such things.

“If you want to sleep for a while, I won’t disturb you. I’ll just stay here to prevent anyone from making noise,” Tang Xiaorou stated her decision. “If you don’t want to sleep, we can also go over some problems to pass the time. I’m worried you might feel uneasy about missing half a day of classes.”

She had really hit upon Yu Chuyao’s concerns.

Wasting half a day’s time, she was indeed worried about it.

“But we didn’t bring any test papers or anything.”

“Hey, that’s nothing,” Tang Xiaorou waved her hand. There are many ways to study, just pick the most convenient and quickest way available: “Let me quiz you on vocabulary, it’s perfect since you’ve always been weak in English.”

This was true indeed. Yu Chuyao had seen her report card, it was similar to when she first started high school, Chinese was impressive, consistently scoring above 120 points, minor subjects were average, barely passing, but math and English were major dragging points. Math at least sometimes scored around 90 points passing grade, but English consistently scored below 60 points, something truly embarrassing to mention.

“Ugh…” Yu Chuyao held her head in distress. She hadn’t expected English to torment her from when she started learning it in third grade until now. Even after finishing the college entrance exam, there were still English classes in university, it never ended!

Damn it, English is still chasing me!

“Alright then, I’ll start with something random,” Tang Xiaorou recalled the vocabulary chapter Yu Chuyao was flipping through in the morning and casually mentioned a few words.

This question-and-answer session was quite interesting. Although it wasn’t studying in the true sense, it did help lighten Yu Chuyao’s previously heavy mood.

Yu Chuyao’s memory wasn’t very strong when it came to subjects she wasn’t good at. So she couldn’t answer many of Tang Xiaorou’s questions, and as punishment, the latter would gently pinch her soft cheeks.

“I protest!” After being tested on several dozen words, Yu Chuyao expressed her dissatisfaction: “How come I don’t have any memory of the later vocabulary words, were they really what I studied these past two days?!”

She couldn’t help but suspect that Tang Xiaorou was deliberately choosing parts she hadn’t reviewed yet just to pinch her cheeks!

“Ah, you found out,” Tang Xiaorou tilted her head, expressing apology.

I knew it! Yu Chuyao felt she had been treated unfairly and chose to retaliate by grabbing Tang Xiaorou’s face with both hands, giving it a good squeeze and poke.

Though she meant to be fierce, her strength was naturally like that of a chick, not to mention it had decreased even more due to her current physical weakness.

The review later wasn’t limited to English; Tang Xiaorou would bring up other areas where Yu Chuyao wasn’t proficient.

Whether from the fatigue of studying or the drowsiness from taking medicine, Yu Chuyao’s eyelids gradually began to droop. While Tang Xiaorou was showing problems on her phone and talking enthusiastically, her consciousness gradually dispersed, and she fell asleep leaning against the pillow.

“That’s basically the problem-solving approach, it shouldn’t be hard to understand, right?” Tang Xiaorou had just finished explaining a problem and turned to ask, ensuring Yu Chuyao understood, but instead saw her sitting on the bed, leaning against the pillow with her little head tilted to one side, fast asleep.

With steady breathing rhythm, disturbing her now would be much more uncomfortable than those pecking-chicken-like naps during breaks.

Never mind, just let her sleep for a while. Tang Xiaorou didn’t adjust Yu Chuyao’s strange sleeping posture, put away her phone, and sat on the edge of the bed quietly watching her.

Because of the curtain’s cover, Yu Chuyao had already removed the hairband from her bangs, and now her sleeping appearance was like a serene and beautiful painting, like Sleeping Beauty who had fallen into slumber for some unknown reason.

So beautiful~ Tang Xiaorou rested her chin on her hand, sitting at the side watching her, feeling completely satisfied without needing to do anything else.

But when someone is sleeping peacefully nearby, it’s easy to affect others. Tang Xiaorou was originally quite energetic, but after watching for a long time, she actually began to feel drowsy.

With no one to disturb them, she didn’t resist and fell asleep leaning on the edge of the bed.

After who knows how long, until the sound of bells rang in her ears, Yu Chuyao was finally awakened from her sleep.

Opening her eyes in a daze, it was still daytime, the light making it a bit difficult for her to keep her eyes open.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Yu Chuyao was still groggy from sleep and experiencing some memory gaps, only feeling that this sleep had been very comfortable, and her body’s fatigue and discomfort had eased a bit.

Outside there were waves of footsteps, numerous and dense. This kind of sound either meant assembly for exercises or rushing to the cafeteria.

Was it already mealtime? How long had she slept? Yu Chuyao wanted to get up but found that something seemed to be pressing on her, preventing her from moving.

Huh? Yu Chuyao turned her head and found someone lying beside her, and at this moment that face was opposite hers, so close that moving forward slightly more would result in a kiss.

“Ah!” Yu Chuyao quickly moved her head back a bit, finally seeing clearly who was holding her and preventing movement.

Why was Tang Xiaorou sleeping in the same bed with her? Although she hadn’t crawled under her blanket, she shouldn’t be hugging her like a pillow!

Slowly her memory began to return, she remembered Tang Xiaorou sitting on the edge of the bed explaining knowledge points to her, and then what…

Definitely not getting in bed to sleep together!

At such close distance, Yu Chuyao’s exclamation also woke up Tang Xiaorou, who then released her arms from around Yu Chuyao, rubbed her eyes, and said with a smile: “Morning, Chuyao-chan.”

Mor… morning my foot! It’s already lunchtime now!

And what’s with that Japanese anime girl just-woke-up act, are you for real?
