Me, a Nobody, Became the Villainess's White Moonlight? - Volume 1 Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Sure Enough, Women Are Fickle

***

After the exams, Tang Xiaorou noticed that Su Yingying seemed to have become much more docile.

She neither lingered around her and Yu Chuyao, nor did she make any confusing moves based on Jiang Xinxin’s various mysterious suggestions.

She would even rush outside as soon as class ended, only returning just before the next class started. And after school, she wouldn’t leave with her best friend Jiang Xinxin anymore, making her behavior even more suspicious.

What exactly is this person doing? Tang Xiaorou didn’t understand, and naturally, Yu Chuyao didn’t understand either.

“What? Are you that concerned about her?” Yu Chuyao noticed Tang Xiaorou watching Su Yingying’s departures every time, her neck stretched so long it looked like she might fly out to follow along.

“If you want to go look, just go with her.”

She wasn’t someone who would chain Tang Xiaorou to her seat, making it seem like she was being harsh to Tang Xiaorou.

Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou quickly waved her hands to explain: “No, no, no, how could I possibly care about her!”

Even if she were to care about everyone else in the class, she would never care about Su Yingying and Jiang Xinxin!

This was her principle after being reborn!

But she couldn’t help worrying… The more Su Yingying acted secretly outside her view, the more she worried about what new changes might occur because she wasn’t pursuing her in this life.

Although she believed that at this stage, she had ways to handle whatever might happen, this preventive mindset still needed to be maintained at all times.

Yu Chuyao thought it was normal, after all, Su Yingying was the original female lead, the object of Tang Xiaorou’s pursuit. Even though somehow she no longer showed any signs of romantic interest, her actions were still connected to her.

For a moment, she wondered if Tang Xiaorou might also be a transmigrator like herself? But this thought was quickly denied and dismissed.

Tang Xiaorou was too familiar with this plot. The level of familiarity seemed beyond what even transmigration could explain, this was something Yu Chuyao could sense.

She felt that the other person, like herself, had some reason for this.

Tang Xiaorou also felt that in this new life, her progress in pursuing Yu Chuyao had somewhat deviated from her expectations.

Before her rebirth, she didn’t have much interaction with Yu Chuyao. But she could always hear about her achievements through classmates’ conversations, every discussion would mention how this transformed beauty was doing this and that, and even though Tang Xiaorou was solely focused on pursuing Su Yingying at the time, she couldn’t help but feel impressed.

More importantly, after her family’s downfall in her previous life, when she sought help from various sources, no one responded, afraid of being associated with her. And the last person she could think of before her death was this Yu Chuyao whom she hadn’t interacted with.

In the end, she received information from her parents in the countryside, confirming that someone had helped, and only then did she do the final thing.

That help, she was certain, came from Yu Chuyao.

Someone once said that when a friend reaches a high position, based on your relationship with them, you might only have one chance to ask for help, it was probably like that. Perhaps for Yu Chuyao at that time, it was just a casual act of assistance between classmates.

But Tang Xiaorou didn’t care if this was the only time. As long as someone was willing to help her when everyone else distanced themselves and fled, that was enough to be remembered forever.

Now after being reborn, her progress in pursuing Yu Chuyao wasn’t quite as she had hoped.

Although the other person showed willingness to be close to her, these actions so far could mostly be considered as good friends, or even further saying childhood friends would be about this level, nowhere near the point of mutual romantic feelings.

She had thought that the beauty who would transform later, even if she was a nobody now, wouldn’t be so simple. Yet she hadn’t expected her heart to be so tightly sealed, and Tang Xiaorou wasn’t sure how much she had managed to pry open so far.

“I just suspect she might be up to something bad lately.” Tang Xiaorou rubbed her chin, thinking about the events that happened in high school in her previous life. But she couldn’t recall many details in such a short time.

It couldn’t be helped, it was too long ago. Even though she was reborn, it wasn’t like in the novels she had read where someone would return to high school and remember all the test questions, then make a comeback. She couldn’t remember clearly, so she could only study hard.

Therefore, she also couldn’t remember what Su Yingying was doing now, if something important happened she might have some impression, but the key was that there seemed to be nothing.

Yu Chuyao sighed, wondering if Tang Xiaorou was being overly concerned or just suspicious?

“Either go check it out if you’re suspicious, or wait for things to happen, unless you have the ability to predict the future? Prepare to deal with it now.”

When she heard about predicting the future, Tang Xiaorou was startled. This was an instinctive reaction, almost thinking Yu Chuyao had guessed her secret.

But then she thought it was just a casual joke, it didn’t mean she knew.

“School is so boring, we need something to pass the time.” Just like her own behavior when she first transmigrated, being heavily observed by others. High school didn’t have many entertainment activities, so they could only find drama in these little things.

However, Yu Chuyao thought it would be better not to pay so much attention to Su Yingying. She had always stuck to her nobody philosophy, not wanting to participate in the so-called main plot line. Even though Tang Xiaorou was sticking by her side now, it just meant that our original female lead would have fewer hardships and twists, wouldn’t she still encounter new plot characters later?

The class bell rang, and Su Yingying still returned just in time, but unlike before when she would return and sit down calmly without any expression, this time Su Yingying actually had a smile on her face, surprising many people.

Even until she sat down at her desk, happily organizing her things and preparing for class, she seemed like a completely different person from the previous few days.

What happened?

Especially for many of the boys who had been hesitant to approach after Tang Xiaorou gave up, many had tried to win Su Yingying’s heart but obviously failed, so they were particularly interested in Su Yingying’s current radiant appearance.

Could it be?

Not just them, even Tang Xiaorou suspected that this person might have found someone to date outside.

Speaking of this, a memory did flash in her mind that could match with the current time period. However, this segment was supposed to happen later, now it was just speculation.

“Want to go check it out together?”

Yu Chuyao stared at Tang Xiaorou with wide eyes, hearing these words, it was as if a message that couldn’t be closed popped up in front of her.

【Your friend “Tang Xiaorou” has sent you a team mission invitation.】

【Yes/No】

Didn’t you say you didn’t want to go look? How come you’re dragging me along now!

Women are really fickle!

Curiosity killed the cat! Don’t drag me into your schemes!
