Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Did It Move?

***

Awakening from a dream… awakening from a dream.

You’d think that since it’s like awakening from a dream, it would at least give you some dreaming time as a buffer, right?

But Ling Qingyue didn’t even have time for a dream.

Just as her eyes closed in the heavenly clouds a moment ago, when they opened again, guess what?

Hey! You’re awake!

The point was on sheer swiftness.

What she saw upon opening her eyes was an unfamiliar yet just as dilapidated ceiling as the small, run-down room she used to rent.

Rusty light fixtures, dim curtains, stiff bed boards — it felt like home, but not her previous home.

Ling Qingyue still clearly remembered the echoes of those heart-piercing words in the despicable Luminous mist’s final speech.

In your next life, you’ll be a girl, you know~

Good luck to you~

Hope you won’t be a pauper anymore~

Recalling, reminiscing.

Whether it was the impact of these words on her soul or the memories of her past life’s bits and pieces, her elbow unconsciously raised to her face with a sob.

Traces of tears quickly moistened her delicate skin.

The sound of sobbing alone became increasingly apparent.

What’s wrong?

After going through so much, isn’t one allowed to cry a little when alone?

However…

“Wuu… Huh?”

The crying sound stopped abruptly the moment it first rang out.

After all, from a hot-blooded young man’s heart with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, squeezed out through the throat came a melodious young girl’s voice eight octaves higher, adding up to 45 degrees — if this were a fever, the brain would have been fried.

Lin Yueye sat up with a start!

She immediately recalled one of the important contents in the despicable Luminous mist’s words.

Even though she had subconsciously considered that possibility earlier, she couldn’t help but be startled when the evidence drew closer to her!

She raised her trembling arms in front of her, the frequency of her shaking hands matching shockingly well with the frequency of her pupils’ quake.

These hands… clearly smaller than before?

Her gaze moved forward.

In her shaken field of vision, in the direction where the pure white skirt extended, two exquisitely crafted toes touched each other, so soft it didn’t seem real, completely losing that former sturdy and powerful feedback.

Tilting her head slightly.

Thousands of silver lotuses scattered on the dress, snow-like yet not snow.

Lin Yueye held it in her palm to examine, only to find that it wasn’t snow — but hair strands more transparent than silver-white.

So…

Luminous mist, you were serious!

That guy had been playing tricks from start to finish, making Lin Yueye think that even her last words might have been a lie!

But — don’t panic.

What’s there to panic about?

A sudden confidence arose in Lin Yueye’s heart, this confidence stemming from her knowledge accumulation.

Hah, don’t underestimate her adaptability.

To be honest, in her past life, she used to hold her broken phone, surfing on a novel app called Radish Package.

She had read quite a few author friends’ wild imaginations about the theory of gender change, which was one of her few hobbies in the past. What bizarre transformation methods hadn’t she seen? Even if such a thing really happened to her, she shouldn’t have anything to be shaken about, right?

— As if!

If the cucumber you bought at home turned into a cabbage, if you see the pot changed when cooking, you’d remain calm, huh!

Fine, you’re calm, then you’re noble, you are what you eat.

“Sigh… calm down… just calm down first, tsk!”

A young man’s habit, when panicking, is to pull up the trouser legs — she did the same this time — but this time, it was exceptionally easy.

When she looked confusedly at her “pants”.

Only then did she realize that the skirt with no elasticity to speak of had already been rolled up to her thigh.

What appeared from within was a scene of dazzling white luxury…

The pure white bear triangle stable structure fabric came into her view, the tightening of the fabric outlining a beautiful arc.

I… I didn’t mean to…

I’m sorry, Lin Yueye of the past, I meant no offense.

You’ve already ascended to heaven, so please turn a blind eye.

She slowly lowered the skirt, clasped her hands together praying for something unknown, squinted her eyes with a slightly reddened face, and smoothed out the skirt, laying it on both sides of her body.

Then she bent her knees, hugged them, feeling a bit withdrawn.

What’s done is done, there’s no room for turning back.

Rather than considering these self-troubling matters, it’s better to think about how to survive with the current identity.

How to survive.

— For this point, she had already done her utmost in her previous life.

Actually, she should have been considered quite handsome before, it’s just a pity that her luck was too bad, having no achievements except for her face.

Think about those people who used to say they could make a living just with their face, it’s simply nonsense!

Sighing about the vicissitudes of life, Lin Yueye turned her head angrily to look beside her, between the bed that could barely accommodate one person and was quite cramped, and the small wardrobe, there was a piece of broken wood that could hardly be called a bedside table.

On the wooden board, there was a delicate small mirror that seemed out of place with the broken wooden board.

The mirror could just reflect Lin Yueye’s face.

At first, she had no mind to look closely.

But when she focused and saw clearly those ruby-like sparkling eyes with some annoyance, Lin Yueye couldn’t help but be stunned.

Can’t make a living… with just a face?

She picked up the mirror on the wooden board with some surprise, aimed it at her entire face, fully displaying it on it.

A perfect balance between “cute and young” and “mature and charming”.

Like the clear moon reflected in the lake bottom on a midsummer night, not as young as when the flower fragrance first appears in spring, nor as mature as when the maple forest is everywhere in autumn, just pitiful and innocent, with a face full of innocence, as if understanding some things, yet at the same time completely ignorant and pure about worldly affairs at that age.

The word 【young girl】 was thoroughly visualized at this moment.

Just one glance could make one’s heart intoxicated.

Alright, the food problem is solved, who said you can’t make a living with just a face, that’s nonsense.

Hah! What’s solved, even if you’re good-looking, you still need to think about how to make money!

Even she, who had once exhausted herself for survival and had little energy left to appreciate the charm of girls, couldn’t help but take a few more looks at this stunning face in the mirror.

Perhaps the only flaw was that her complexion wasn’t very healthy due to malnutrition, being a bit too pale.

Silently putting the mirror back on the wooden board, Lin Yueye was now even more confused.

After all, there were still too many things she didn’t understand.

That deity said 【Lin Yueye】 committed suicide, why did she commit suicide?

Is this still the previous world? If so, which city is this?

Was the former 【Lin Yueye】 in school?

Not clear.

Lin Yueye pondered hard only to find that she had no memory of Lin Yueye in her mind.

Tsk… what kind of high-difficulty reincarnation situation is this.

Anyway, let’s start with this room first.

Look for any information about herself, maybe she can learn some information.

Thinking of this, Lin Yueye rolled out of bed, the slippers were considerately placed beside the bed, decorated with cartoon rabbits, very childish, but Lin Yueye felt it didn’t quite match her.

As a result…

“Uwah!”

—Rip!

Eh?

New life.

The first step forward, Lin Yueye was stunned.

The floor tile… seems to have sunk in.

She blinked in surprise and looked down carefully at where her left foot had sunk in.

That floor tile had clearly collapsed, but there were no cracks around it—looking closely, it was just painted on, self-painted.

“Are you Magic Brush Ma Liang?!”

She couldn’t help but blurt out a sarcastic comment.

Say, you girl from before, if your floor tile was broken, why didn’t you find someone to fix it! Patching it up with a paintbrush yourself, you might feel comfortable looking at it, but don’t you think it’s very unethical for others?!

I see you’re even poorer than me!

Oh, right, there’s no one else here, just me.

Fine, then this is called, reaping what you sow.

Carefully peeling away the stones, taking care not to let her ankle be scratched by the stones, because Lin Yueye vaguely noticed that this body was much more delicate than before. Just that stumble earlier had left her still catching her breath, still feeling a bit shaken, which would have been impossible in the past.

This won’t do… even if she’s become a girl, she must hold onto that manly spirit in her heart, only then can she fight back and turn things around.

As Lin Yueye was cheering herself on in her heart for her future and rummaging through the drawers of the old desk looking for useful information…

A strange sound, similar to a weird laugh, suddenly rang out in this small space.

“Puff…”

—Just this sound made Lin Yueye’s hair stand on end.

Who…?

No… no way.

I looked around earlier, didn’t see anyone else, right?

I just met a deity, it can’t be…

Now it’s time to see ghosts…?!

Turning her neck stiffly, Lin Yueye just realized that her silver hair was long enough to spread on the ground when she crouched down.

Just like a small blanket that could protect herself within it, curled up into a ball, it could give a bit of sense of security.

Looking around, she still didn’t see the presence of others.

Everything seemed normal.

Her room, except for the independent bathroom with its door ajar, probably only had about a dozen square meters in total.

With the curtains drawn, only a faint light could penetrate, the lighting wasn’t very good, but enough to illuminate many nooks and crannies.

Some award certificates stacked in front of the desk, a few pieces of clothing in the wardrobe, and that black cat sitting motionless on the windowsill, besides these, there really weren’t many noticeable things in the room.

Uh…

Black cat?

Black cat!!!

Lin Yueye immediately stood up and approached the windowsill, taking small quick steps.

She quite liked cats!

But as she approached the front of that “black cat”, she noticed something unusual.

By the way, can cats make a “puff” laughing sound?

I’ve never raised a cat, but I’m not stupid.

She looked around, no cat food, no cat litter, no cat hair on the bed, this doesn’t look like a house that raises cats at all.

The window behind the curtain also had anti-theft bars designed, the window sealing was done very well, there was no possibility for stray cats from outside to come in.

Moreover, isn’t this Lin Yueye as poor as me? Can’t even fix the floor, struggling to feed herself, and still raise a cat?

Observing again, she poked the cat’s head with her slender finger.

This cat didn’t move at all, not even blinking its eyes.

It just squatted on the windowsill, feeling soft and fluffy to the touch, yet it wouldn’t run away like a fake one.

Could it be… some kind of lifelike toy? Then it wouldn’t be strange for it to make that sound just now.

—As if.

Have you ever seen a cat sweating profusely?

Yes, although this black cat wasn’t sweating, nor moving.

But it gave the feeling of being drenched in sweat.

As they stared at each other in a standoff, with the increasing time of the standoff, Lin Yueye became more certain that it was a real cat.

“Hey… you blinked just now, right?”

“……”

“Don’t be like this, I’m not that brave, can even a cat scare me? Is there any justice left? I’m begging you, can you move a bit?”

It didn’t move.

“Then how about you make a sound? Follow me, meow~”

“Woof!”

“……”

It seems the cat just made a sound…

But it was a dog’s bark.

You see how black the black cat is.

Yet it’s not as black as Lin Yueye’s face, standing there with a blank expression.
