Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Talking to Oneself

***

“Yuebing, do you know? You’ve given me another reason to want to get rich and move out.”

“Oh? Hehe, of course I understand! You mean my presence gives you inspiration and encouragement, right? Actually, there’s no need to be so polite~ After all, I came to the mortal world to encourage you to pursue a better life~”

“That’s not it at all…”

“Huh? Then what could it be?”

“Because your sleeping posture is truly terrible.”

Dawn breaks, with the warm light of early morning.

Lin Yueye, already dressed in the blue uniform of Qihai No.1 High School, was walking to school with the loli cat girl.

She looked exhausted, rhythmically tapping the cat girl’s head like beating a drum.

Although from a passerby’s perspective — it was just a silver-haired girl talking to herself in the air, seemingly in an unstable mental state.

Poor little Yueye covered her mouth and yawned discreetly.

Just thinking about last night’s ordeal made her want to release Yuebing back into the wild.

There was only one bed in the house, and neither wanted to sleep on the floor. Although Lin Yueye lost the rock-paper-scissors game to decide who would sleep on the bed, she was always a sore loser and occupied the small bed regardless. Yuebing wouldn’t stand for this, so she transformed into a cat and curled up in the blanket, lying on Lin Yueye’s soft belly over her pajamas, sleeping contentedly.

At first, Lin Yueye thought this wasn’t so bad.

Yuebing didn’t take up much space, and she could sleep while hugging a soft cat, how delightful.

But she had no idea how serious the situation would become.

In the middle of the night, Yuebing unconsciously transformed back into a loli cat girl in her sleep.

— Do you know she directly kicked poor little Yueye in the face!

Lin Yueye woke up startled from her sweet dream, got angry, and tried to wake Yuebing up to renegotiate the sleeping territory. But she underestimated the cat girl’s sleep quality. No amount of patting could wake her up. Lin Yueye even tried various non-standard fighting techniques like grappling, choking, and wrestling to try and wake her up.

But Yuebing actually mumbled in her dream, “Mmm… someone wants to challenge me to a fight.”

Then, she returned all these fighting techniques to little Yueye in her sleep!

You might find this hard to believe when I tell you.

But it’s true.

— Someone can have an unlimited fighting match on the bed while sleeping, and your opponent doesn’t even wake up.

Little Yueye personally experienced this.

That’s why Lin Yueye wanted to get rich, at least to own a two-bedroom house and live separately from Yuebing!

Seeing Lin Yueye rotating her neck as if her waist and back were sore, Yuebing tilted her head in confusion and asked with concern.

“What’s wrong, human? Did someone beat you up again?”

“The one who beat me up wasn’t human, she’s not even a thing.”

“If it’s not human and not a thing, then what could it be? You really say strange things.”

“You’d better shut up. Next time we sleep, the bed is yours, I’ll sleep on the floor.”

“Really?! Thank you, human!”

“But the mattress is mine.”

“Human hearts are broken and unreadable. I finally understand why it’s broken.”

“It’s ‘human hearts are unfathomable’, you uncultured cat.”

Little Yueye’s conversation with “thin air” became increasingly frequent and agitated.

She knew others couldn’t see Yuebing, but sometimes she couldn’t help wanting to argue with her!

But it must be said that, if we disregard the strangeness of her mental state…

Lin Yueye walking on the path approaching Qihai No.1 High School was definitely a sight to behold.

Not to mention how the Qihai No.1 High School uniform seemed to glow on her, somehow making an ordinary dress look like a formal gown. Moreover, the over-knee white silk stockings on her legs complemented her ivory-white legs, like cherry blossoms and snow, harmonizing perfectly with the pure beauty of her silver hair falling to her waist and below.

From the canvas shoes up to her ankles, a hint of flesh color peeked through the snow-white base, her steps neither hurried nor slow, each step forward seemed to tap out a musical note on the way to school.

It wasn’t that Lin Yueye wanted to wear this kind of stockings she had never worn before.

It was because Yuebing had been lazy and overslept, leaving no time to search for short socks. She had to grab these long stockings hanging on the clothesline as a temporary solution. If she didn’t choose these, the only option left in the wardrobe was a pair of white pantyhose, which was even more difficult for Lin Yueye to handle at the moment. Choosing the lesser of two evils, this principle was thoroughly understood by Lin Yueye.

The process of putting on stockings and changing clothes directly forced Lin Yueye’s spirit, exhausted from Yuebing’s sleep-fighting, to become alert again, more effective than taking a cold shower. In a sense… this could be considered a good start for the first day of her new life?

That’s what they say…

As she got closer and closer to the gates of Qihai No.1 High School, Lin Yueye’s words gradually became fewer.

“What’s wrong, human?”

“You’re still asking what’s wrong… Haven’t you noticed?”

The closer they got to school, the more Lin Yueye could feel various unfriendly gazes.

Some were avoidant, some disgusted, some gossiping, and some surprised.

“Isn’t this normal?”

Yuebing put her hands behind her head. She was wearing a replica of Lin Yueye’s school uniform, of course, with proper undergarments recreated as well. She had carefully observed and learned while Lin Yueye was changing clothes.

“A self-isolated girl who ‘attempted suicide’ just a few days ago suddenly returns to school. Of course you’re the center of attention. Want to bet there are people waiting to see some drama?”

“What kind of drama?”

“Waiting to see if you’ll try to jump off a building again~”

“Pfft…”

Hearing Yuebing’s playful teasing with a wink, Lin Yueye couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ha, if I were to jump off a building again, at school this time, I’m afraid the whole school would be forced to take a few days off for public relations handling.

But sorry to disappoint you, classmates, I’m afraid that won’t happen~

Thankfully, with Yuebing around.

Lin Yueye was able to maintain a relaxed posture, ignoring as much as possible the various rumors and gossip, heading straight to Lin Yueye’s classroom.

Her class and classroom were clearly written on her student ID, and as a former student who had studied here before, finding a classroom wasn’t a difficult task for Lin Yueye.

While traversing the paths between the teaching buildings, Lin Yueye saw many banners that hadn’t been hung at the time of her death in her previous life.

【Pay attention to food safety! Reject expired food!】

【Strictly prevent food poisoning, stand guard for food safety.】

【Normalize food safety knowledge, be clear about substandard products.】

“Wow… so many food promotion slogans, there must be a food paradise hidden here…” Yuebing’s eyes sparkled, only able to see the word “food”, selectively blind, “But what does all this mean? Human, did you understand it?”

“I… I don’t understand.”

“Why are you crying?”

“Mind your own business…”

Do you know why they hung these banners?

Probably because a student died of food poisoning recently.

This kind of death must have shocked the school leaders and every diligent student.

They never imagined that even as high school students, there could be such an unlucky person.

Do you know who that unlucky person was?

It was me, damn it!

In this situation, if someone held a memorial service for me, I’d be too embarrassed!

No one held a memorial service for me?

Then it’s fine.

Lin Yueye hung her head dejectedly, like someone who had died once as a punching bag, lowering her head as she walked towards the classroom labeled 【Class 1, Year 2】 on her student ID.

Sacrificing my former self.

I hope today… everything goes smoothly.

“Human, human, do you think that rich lady from yesterday will be in your class?”

“Guess why she’s my class monitor.”

“Probably because you’re in the same class, right?”

“Congratulations, you’ve learned to answer your own questions.”
