Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Inexplicable

***

What… what’s going on?!

Why did she suddenly get so angry?!

This was completely unexpected.

The girl’s face showed anger as she moved forward, scaring Lin Yueye into quickly moving her body backwards. But after just a couple of steps back, her back hit the wall and she couldn’t retreat any further. Panicking, she turned her head back to face forward, only to see that the young girl hadn’t given up her pursuit. She grabbed both of Lin Yueye’s wrists at the same time, lifting her arms up and easily pinning her firmly against the wall.

But that wasn’t all.

Lin Yueye’s throat suddenly and involuntarily let out an unnatural low cry of surprise and alarm. This was because she felt an unusual sensation of being pressed against in a precarious position. She strained to look down and discovered that the young girl had raised her knee, pressing it between the skirt of her dress. Applying force simultaneously to the upper and lower body, she rendered Lin Yueye completely immobile.

Are you some kind of martial artist?!

The young lady with the noble air no longer cared about her image at this moment. The skirt of her school uniform rubbed against the pure white dress, creating little wrinkles. Her strength came from an unknown source, and at such close range, her eyes were as cold as the night, making it hard to breathe.

“Say something… Yueye, are you looking down on me? Do you think I’m the same as them? Do you know how I felt when I heard you were going to jump off the building? And now, Yueye… you’re pretending not to know me?!”

“Let… let go…!”

What kind of madness are you talking about! I really don’t know you!

I, little Yueye, am not a pushover either.

After all, in my previous life, I was a 180 cm tall man. How could I let a little girl pin me against the wall unable to move? This is preposterous!

But when Lin Yueye, recovering from the shock, tried to struggle…

She suddenly wanted to cry out “Yuebing, save me!”

Where did all my strength go?!

It wasn’t just because of how tightly the other person was restraining her, but Lin Yueye herself felt a light, powerless sensation when trying to move her wrists and ankles. Even though she was gritting her teeth and struggling with all her might, let alone breaking free, she couldn’t even budge the other person’s fingers.

Yuebing… where’s Yuebing?

She tried hard to turn her head to look, only to see that Yuebing had curled up into a cat ball, entering a sweet dream.

What kind of cat on a camel are you! You’re heartless!

Perhaps Lin Yueye’s attempts to struggle further angered the other person, and she increased the force with which she gripped Lin Yueye’s wrists.

Yueye’s wrists immediately started to turn red, and the feedback from the pain receptors in her tender skin instantly made her cry out involuntarily.

“It hurts…!”

“!”

The attack came quickly.

And retreated just as fast.

At the same time that Lin Yueye cried out “It hurts” in a tone she wasn’t even aware of…

The force pinning her wrists, as well as the pressure against her legs, instantly receded like the tide.

The young girl withdrew her hands as if she had been electrocuted and staggered back a few steps.

Having lost her support, Lin Yueye, completely drained of strength, slumped to the ground. Her silver hair lay scattered on the floor, and a thin layer of tears covered the corners of her eyes. She looked like a fallen angel, lost and dejected, a sight that would make anyone’s heart ache.

— This wasn’t because Lin Yueye’s heart was as delicate as a little girl, unable to bear any grievance.

It was because it really hurt just now!

Why don’t you try it? Her arms felt like they were being clamped by pliers. Where did she get such strength?

Actually, it wasn’t that she was particularly strong, but that Lin Yueye herself was just too weak.

The tears were the result of the great blow to her male pride, a part of her that still existed in her heart, caused by the humiliation.

But to the young girl standing opposite, all of this looked so pitiful and tragic, like an absurdly melancholic painting.

— Lin Yueye seemed to hear again a sound of deep breathing similar to before.

And when she raised her head with ruby-red eyes brimming with tears, she found that the other person was bending down towards her again.

Are you going to hit me again?!

Are you crazy or what?!

With the attitude of a wise man not standing beneath a dangerous wall, Lin Yueye gave up on facing the challenge head-on. She quickly raised both arms to protect her head, looking as helpless as a trembling kitten in the rain.

“Don’t come near… Go away! Go away…!”

“Yueye… don’t be like this… I…”

“Stay away from me…!”

Lin Yueye could feel her weak, powerless fists seemingly hitting the other person’s shoulder a few times.

But this was futile.

She judged that the impact on the other person’s shoulder was probably less painful than the recoil on her own fists.

I really must be seeing things. Why do I have to get beaten up and bullied right after being reborn, before I’ve even had a few meals?!

But in reality…

The situation Lin Yueye had anticipated didn’t occur.

As such, Yueye gradually stopped resisting and carefully peeked through her fingers that were protecting her head to observe the other person’s situation.

She saw a face filled with apologetic, bitter smiles and painful self-reproach.

The young girl had indeed reached out her hand again.

But this time, it wasn’t to inflict violence on Lin Yueye, but to gently rest on her shoulder, helping to smooth out the wrinkles in her dress that had appeared during the struggle.

“It would be such a shame to dirty such a pretty dress that you’ve just bought… I’m sorry, Yueye. I was impulsive. I’ll… make it up to you later.”

— Click.

There was a faint sound of a small clasp being undone, and the young girl waved a white tag in front of the astonished Lin Yueye.

“When you buy new clothes, don’t forget to remove the tag if it fits well, okay? This time I made the decision for you, Yueye. This dress really suits you, it’s very beautiful.”

“……”

Her tone seemed a bit melancholic, but she had mostly regained the calm and elegant manner she had when she first arrived.

The girl with long night-colored hair patiently helped Lin Yueye remove the remaining thread from where the collar tag had been. During this process, Lin Yueye didn’t dare move much.

— Wuwu, I’m afraid the crazy girl might hit me again. A gentleman doesn’t stand beneath a dangerous wall. I’d better wait until she leaves.

Suddenly.

— Knock.

A gentle knock sounded.

It drew Lin Yueye’s gaze to the slightly ajar door of the rented room.

The black-haired girl seemed to have anticipated this.

— Or perhaps she was simply uninterested in other matters, her eyes fully focused on adjusting Lin Yueye’s collar, showing no intention of turning around.

And with this glance.

Ugh…

Lin Yueye could only say she was getting used to it.

Great, another stunningly beautiful girl. Are you all appearing in clusters or what?

Blue hair in a single ponytail, eyes the color of icy amber.

Cold as ice, expressionless, completely unreadable, freezing cold.

But her clothes were very unusual.

It was actually the black and white maid outfit that only appears in certain 2D works.

She saw the two people almost pressed against each other in the corner, only slightly raising an eyebrow, her expression still unchanged.

Then she lowered her head slightly and said in a calm tone, with a voice as cold as her appearance.

“Young Lady Mujin, there’s a matter at the mansion that requires your attention. Your father is contacting me, asking me to bring you back.”

“I know.”

“Please try to hurry a bit.”

“I know.”

Two consecutive “I know”.

But the speed of the young lady named “Mujin” didn’t change at all.

Lin Yueye really couldn’t bear it anymore. The other person’s sudden inexplicable concern seemed utterly ridiculous to her.

Yueye gently pushed her away and leaned against the wall to stand up.

Only then did the other person finally stop, also standing up with her movement.

I don’t care if you’re some young lady or what, think you’re great because you have a maid? You can’t bully me just because you’re rich!

Your money isn’t my money, it’s not like I can spend it. I’m really done with this.

“Yueye… I’m really sorry about today. It seems the timing isn’t good… My family might have some issues now. I originally wanted to invite you for a meal so we could discuss your return to school slowly, but now it seems that won’t be possible for the time being.”

“Young Lady, it’s time to go back,” the maid reminded again.

“Ah… I know, I know. Yahan, you’re becoming more and more nagging like my mother… You weren’t like this before, sigh. Well then, Yueye, let’s keep in touch, okay?”

“I… don’t need to keep in touch… I’ll go back to school by myself…” Lin Yueye was being truly sincere, she really hated trouble.

But the black-haired girl just smiled silently, who knows what she was thinking.

“And about what I mentioned earlier…” The black-haired girl suddenly lowered her voice, her tone filled with some inexplicable hint, but it was all words that Lin Yueye couldn’t understand, “If Yueye has thought it through… you can give me an answer anytime, okay?”

“……”

Lin Yueye wanted to speak but hesitated.

I’m very sorry, young lady, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

And unfortunately, for someone like you, no matter what you say, I probably won’t agree.

Unless you’re offering to give me money to spend~

But that’s impossible, so, just based on your crazy behavior earlier, I definitely won’t try to please you in any way.

Absolutely not.
