Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 16

Chapter 16: It Can’t Be Wrong!

***

Slowly, after that “uninvited guest” left, Lin Yueye gradually remembered some things she shouldn’t have forgotten in the first place.

Sitting up in shock from a deathbed illness, although there was no deathly illness, Lin Yueye did indeed sit up in shock.

Oh, right…

Mujin.

I knew that name sounded so familiar, and that face that could definitely be called stunning, it was like I had seen and heard of it somewhere before.

Her full name is Xia Mujin, the only young lady of the well-known Xia family in Qihai City.

The Xia family might not be the richest in Qihai City, but they definitely rank in the top 5. Their business and industries are very extensive, famous both within and outside the city.

And the pearl of the Xia family, Xia Mujin, was studying at the school where Lin Yueye used to go, which is Qihai No.1 High School.

The reason Lin Yueye found her familiar was that she occasionally saw Xia Mujin speaking as a student representative. After the previous student council president graduated and went to university, Xia Mujin, who had just become a second-year student and was the top of her grade, took over this position. It’s said that even the principal had to give her family some face. Although she was just the student council president, her power was actually quite substantial.

The reason Lin Yueye didn’t remember these things before was probably because she was already exhausted just trying to survive, and didn’t have the spare energy to remember things that others found worth talking about. Presumably, Xia Mujin was an unattainable snow lotus on an icy peak in many people’s eyes, but in the current Lin Yueye’s eyes…

— She was simply a devil!

“I’m telling you, Yuebing, this Xia Mujin, she looks so polite and well-mannered, right? But why did she hit me? Am I that deserving of a beating?”

“I don’t know about the first part, but for the second part, I can only say, indeed.”

“Stop making sarcastic remarks… Speaking of which, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet. You said we were allies, but when I was busy sleepwalking, you didn’t come to save your ally, did you? If you had just given her a swipe, she would have had to rush to get a rabies shot, and it wouldn’t have been so easy for her to subdue me. The meow meow snow biscuit I gave you was wasted.”

“Rabies shot?!” Yuebing suddenly got excited, “What’s that, is it tasty?”

“I’ll give you a shot next time, and you’ll know how intense it is.”

“Yay!”

Yay my foot, you silly cat.

Ah, talking about food makes me hungry again.

Just now, Lin Yueye combined all her savings from her blue payment app and green app, added on the coupons from the food delivery platform, and even had Yuebing play a whack-a-mole game to earn some spare change. She finally managed to gather enough to place an order, taking advantage of a promotion for free delivery, and ordered a meat sandwich.

There wasn’t much meat to begin with, and she still had to share half with Yuebing. This kind of life was really hard to endure.

Taking a tearful bite of the meat sandwich, the silver-haired girl experienced the taste of food after a long time, and she would truly be grateful for the gift from the god of food.

Of course, if there really was such a deity.

“I can only say it’s a blessing in disguise… She paid our rent for us, that’s the only thing we should thank her for. But there’s one thing I just can’t figure out.”

“Only one thing you can’t figure out? You must be really smart then. Tell me what you’ve figured out first?”

“Don’t interrupt. I just can’t understand how this 【Lin Yueye】 got involved with the young lady of the Xia family? From the looks of it just now, they don’t seem like they’re meeting for the first time, do they?”

Logically speaking, this Lin Yueye had a solitary personality and shouldn’t have taken the initiative to talk to a super popular person like the young lady of the Xia family, right?

If there was any connection between the two, it could only be that Xia Mujin took the initiative to find Lin Yueye and said something.

【After you’ve thought clearly about what I said before, you can give me an answer anytime, okay?】

What “thing” she referred to in her parting words was still an unknown.

So, Lin Yueye decided to package all these things together and ask the cat girl deity if she knew anything about it.

Yuebing had already changed back to her loli cat girl form, lying on the bed and holding up Lin Yueye’s phone, scrolling through the strange and wonderful pet videos of the human world. Hearing Lin Yueye’s question, she turned her head with a smile, showing her little tiger teeth.

“Don’t rely on me too much~ Although I’m great and know some things, now that my divine power is exhausted, I can’t access 【Lin Yueye】 memories until I eat and drink enough to recover a bit. And for some reason, that part of the memory is very blurry…?”

“Really… So I really have to probe on my own? Wait, what’s the way for your divine power to recover?”

“Eating, sleeping, eating lots of snacks, no sweat.”

“……”

As for whether this is something you just made up or if it’s actually true, I can only remain skeptical for now.

“But human, I can give you a suggestion to turn the tables.”

“Let’s hear it?”

“Perhaps you could choose to rely on her for food and shelter. Think about it! She’s so rich, and you’re so poor, isn’t this a match made in heaven? This way, we could escape our predicament and have endless meow meow snow biscuits, you…! Mmph meow!”

Lin Yueye chopped the cat girl’s head with her hand, squinting her left eye and grumbling.

“That’s not how you use ‘match made in heaven’, and I absolutely won’t rely on her for food and shelter. That kind of lunatic… I bet everyone at school doesn’t know her true face. This matter is non-negotiable.”

“I’m saying goodbye to 100,000 snow biscuits.”

“You never had them in the first place.”

At this stage, there’s no other way.

Before Yuebing recovers her divine power to probe memories, her only use is to be petted by me.

Pinching the cat girl’s little face, Lin Yueye glanced at the Qihai No.1 High School uniform hanging in the wardrobe.

That decision was gradually taking root in Lin Yueye’s heart.

“Yuebing, starting tomorrow, I have an important decision.”

“Im…important decision? Mmm… stop rubbing…”

At first, Yuebing just made a warning growl in her throat, but Lin Yueye’s hand moved increasingly upward, and before she knew it, she had pinched Yuebing’s cat ears.

The whole loli cat girl’s body suddenly tensed up! She trembled frantically, widened her eyes, the half meat sandwich in her hand fell onto her leg, and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment and anger!

“I—told—you—! Don’t rub! You humans, do you really like offending deities so much?!”

“Ah!”

Unsurprisingly, Lin Yueye was bitten.

Although she didn’t know why she was suddenly bitten.

Looking at the tiger tooth mark on the tiger’s mouth of her palm, Lin Yueye, who had even been deprived of the privilege of petting the cat, felt increasingly desperate.

“…Yuebing, you didn’t get a rabies shot before, did you?”

“So what is that anyway?”

“Never mind, at worst we’ll die together. Don’t talk for now, you stay home tomorrow, don’t run around, got it?”

“Phew… I’ve just calmed down, what a strange feeling. So, where are you going tomorrow?”

“School.”

I, bearing multiple honorary titles such as “attempted suicide”, “subject of rumors”, and “pauper”, will return to campus tomorrow morning.

This is a decision made out of necessity.

Getting into Qihai No.1 High School is not an easy feat. Having the opportunity to continue studying, Lin Yueye doesn’t want to give up and join society to work for money. She knows very well what that taste is like, and with Lin Yueye’s physical condition, she wouldn’t be able to sustain that kind of life for long.

“By the way… I also need to investigate what exactly Xia Mujin said to the previous Lin Yueye. I feel like not figuring this out is like sitting on a time bomb…”

“School…? I want to go too!” Yuebing volunteered, raising her hand, which startled Lin Yueye.

“You?” Little Yueye looked at the little cat girl who was inexplicably eager, and shook her head helplessly, “Cats aren’t allowed in school.”

“I can go in human form!”

“Even more so, they don’t allow children.”

“I’m not a child, nor a cat, I’m a deity!”

“School teaches us not to believe in feudal superstitions, you’ll be thrown out.”

“No problem.”

Yuebing stood up, patted her flat little chest wrapped under her fluffy black hair, the sound echoing in the empty valley, a lingering sad tune.

“My human form comes with invisibility. Except for you who has a contract with my divine power, no one else can see my existence! Isn’t that amazing?”

“Eh… you actually have this trick? Then couldn’t you help me give that annoying class monitor a flying kick… ahem, never mind. By the way, why do you suddenly want to go to school? Isn’t it nice to stay at home? I can buy you some snow biscuits and leave them here, you won’t starve to death.”

“Huff… huff… mind your own business.”

Whistling a tune that couldn’t be whistled, Yuebing looked away, lost in her own thoughts.

Only Yuebing herself knew what she was thinking.

She had just been scrolling through phone videos and came across a video titled 【School Cafeteria】.

A dazzling array, every dish in large pots, bottomless.

Although she didn’t know what school meant, 【School Cafeteria】 was definitely a place worth visiting, no doubt about it!
