Me, a Nobody, Became the Villainess's White Moonlight? - Volume 1 Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Going to Take the Pledge? How Dare You!

***

Do you know how much damage these few short sentences can do to someone with social anxiety?

Not to mention, even though Yu Chuyao wasn’t a nobody before transmigrating into the book, the thought of performing in front of thousands of people would still make her legs weak.

Even a small mistake would lead to massive embarrassment, something she felt she couldn’t bear.

Let alone now that she’s become a nobody, and after becoming a girl, her psychological resilience seems to have decreased a bit.

Is this really fitting the character setting? Or has her body assimilated her!

“Really, teacher? That’s wonderful!” Su Yingying, however, showed extraordinary excitement. As someone who had been admired and noticed since childhood, how could she pass up such an opportunity to stand out in front of others?

Moreover, there were certain conditions for students to be selected for the speech and pledge-reading.

Tang Xiaorou’s reaction was also very calm, because she had experienced this kind of thing in her previous life, and it was inevitable that the teachers would approach her.

First of all, the school would definitely choose students with good academic performance, and whether in terms of academic performance or appearance, Tang Xiaorou was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. The two students with better grades than her were basically bookworms; those with lower grades might have decent personalities and appearances, but their grades weren’t as good as hers.

So among the selected girls, she would definitely occupy a position, not even needing to be an alternate.

As for Yu Chuyao and Su Yingying being called out together, they were competing in another way.

The homeroom teacher explained to the two of them at this time: “Among the student representatives, there will be those who rank high in the grade and those who have shown the most improvement since entering the review phase. Yu Chuyao and Su Yingying, you two might not necessarily be chosen when you go, after all, there are only a few spots.”

Oh, is that so? Yu Chuyao breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing that she might not necessarily be chosen, she didn’t care anymore. At worst, she could just slack off and get it over with.

Su Yingying, on the other hand, had a blissful expression and nodded vigorously with excitement: “Yes, teacher, I’ll definitely do my best!”

Their completely different attitudes made Tang Xiaorou, who was beside them, frown.

She didn’t want Su Yingying to be chosen.

In her previous life, with her study help, Su Yingying’s progress was naturally the fastest in the school, rising from being ranked in the last few hundred along with Jiang Xinxin to achieving a whole number ranking, undoubtedly making her the best role model during the review phase.

Therefore, when they were choosing later, Su Yingying didn’t face much resistance and was selected as a female representative along with her.

At that time, she was foolishly happy about it, not realizing that Su Yingying had already used this opportunity to hook up with Xie Jin, who was also a representative!

Damn it.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Tang Xiaorou felt that Su Yingying being called out this time was already the result of Xie Jin’s maximum effort in helping improve her grades, but her performance in the last exam was still not as good as Yu Chuyao.

Hehe, just showing that no matter who you find to help you, Su Yingying, you still can’t compare to Tang Xiaorou.

Of course, Yu Chuyao herself also had strong learning abilities, otherwise, even with teaching, a stubborn person wouldn’t improve.

“Alright, I won’t say more. Just go directly to the flagpole at the flag-raising square, people are already gathering there,” the homeroom teacher pointed outside the teaching building, leaving Yu Chuyao and the others to go by themselves, as she had to go back to supervise the self-study class discipline.

Su Yingying was in high spirits, naturally walking as if she had wings on her feet, almost wanting to fly there. Yu Chuyao looked at Tang Xiaorou, their moods somewhat conflicted at this moment.

“You don’t want to participate, right?” Tang Xiaorou certainly understood Yu Chuyao’s feelings.

Yu Chuyao nodded, she even thought about not going at all, treating it as a forfeit. In university, she had an extremely uncomfortable English class where the teacher asked them to find strangers to film videos of them reading their English essays.

At that time, Yu Chuyao was so uncomfortable that she didn’t want to go out for a week. When she finally mustered the courage to go out and look for people on the street, just thinking about recording videos reading essays with so many people passing by made her lose her nerve, and she ended up not completing the assignment.

Of course, the good thing was that this happened a week before she transmigrated into the book, so she hadn’t attended the next English class yet, which could be considered dodging a bullet.

But who would have thought she’d now face an even bigger challenge!

“Actually, it’s fine not to participate, it’s not really a big deal anyway,” Tang Xiaorou thought for a moment. Even if Yu Chuyao, who had the highest possibility, withdrew now, Su Yingying might not necessarily be chosen.

Even if Su Yingying was really selected, it would just mean she would have to watch Su Yingying and Xie Jin on stage. It wouldn’t be too uncomfortable, she just didn’t want to see their smug faces.

“You don’t want Su Yingying to be chosen, right?” Yu Chuyao noticed the bitterness in Tang Xiaorou’s eyes, thinking that she had quite high hopes for her.

Tang Xiaorou shook her head: “Have you forgotten? We’re friends, and you can’t ask friends to do things they don’t want to do, that’s the way of getting along.”

Even if she really wanted Yu Chuyao to squeeze out Su Yingying, it would only work if Yu Chuyao herself agreed. She wasn’t the foolish person from her previous life anymore. Back then, to please Su Yingying, she had forced her friends to do many things, no wonder she ended up with no one by her side in the end.

Seeing Tang Xiaorou like this, Yu Chuyao’s heart warmed… she never expected that Tang Xiaorou’s attitude towards her would surpass her competitive desire against Su Yingying.

Although she had always been giving some return to Tang Xiaorou, her abilities and conditions were limited, and no matter how much she gave back, she couldn’t achieve equivalence, so she always had this hurdle in her heart. She had originally planned to make up for it through hard work after entering university and society when she had the means.

But now it seems, this could also be considered a kind of payback within her current capabilities, right?

Thinking about it, with her bangs covering her face now, people wouldn’t be able to see what she looks like clearly from a distance, and even if her name was called, not many would recognize her. As for being nervous and afraid, with her bangs covering her face and focusing entirely on the script, she probably wouldn’t look at other students.

As a challenge, why not give it a try?

Yu Chuyao felt that after the college entrance exam, she would have to throw away this fake hairband anyway, and she would probably still encounter such big occasions in university.

Might as well go for it.

“Alright, let’s go take a look,” Yu Chuyao scratched her head: “Whether we’re chosen or not isn’t up to us anyway.”

Tang Xiaorou, who originally had no hopes, was just planning to take Yu Chuyao over as a formality, but when they heard these words after walking a few steps, her dormant heart suddenly became excited again.

“Really?” Tang Xiaorou was overjoyed, quickly grabbing Yu Chuyao’s hands and holding them to her chest: “Want to give it a try?”

Now that I’m with you, I probably can’t avoid being in the spotlight in the future…

Yu Chuyao thought helplessly in her heart.
