Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Unexpected

***

Lin Yueye certainly didn’t know what all this was, after all, you can’t interpret things you’ve never received in your life.

When she took out those various colored letters from the desk drawer, piled them up on the table into a small mountain, and opened them to read one by one…

Her little brain, which didn’t understand before, became even more stagnant.

【Classmate Lin, I want to apologize for our past actions. Although as classmates, we didn’t gossip about you like other classes, we also never stood up for you. Thinking about it now, it was truly wrong. Rest assured, being in the same class, we won’t allow others to make wild speculations anymore. — Zhao Feng】

【We’ve all heard about your work-study situation, it’s truly admirable! — Liu Shiyu】

【Hello, Classmate Lin! I’m Zhang Helan, sitting by the window in the front row. I’ve actually liked you since last year, and after hearing about your story, I’m even more convinced that you’re a super perfect girl! May I ask if we can try dating?】

Eww.

Shrimp head!

By the time she read the third letter, Lin Yueye couldn’t read any further. Her instincts rejected this kind of confession from boys. Besides, don’t you think saying these things at this time is not only a bit late but also very pretentious for the original Lin Yueye?

She didn’t know exactly why there was such a change in public opinion, but combining some of the content mentioned in the letters, she could roughly guess that it was probably due to something the black-haired young lady had done behind the scenes.

Looking up towards the front row, Xia Mujin had taken a day off and didn’t come to school today, presumably busy preparing for 【Ling Qingyue】 funeral with her family.

Yuebing came over to look at these “friendly” words and snorted teasingly.

“Now you’ve really become everyone’s darling, but what happened? How come yesterday you were still a street rat, and today you’re… uh… what’s that word again?”

“You got the first word wrong, so let’s not bother with the second one.”

Lin Yueye stacked these letters neatly, pretending to read them quickly, but in fact, she wasn’t reading them at all.

Because in her life up to now, if nothing else, she had roughly understood one truth about human nature.

— No matter how nice these letters sound, as long as Lin Yueye shows any sign of impatience or disgust towards them, she would immediately be disliked again.

For example, comments like “Oh, look at her, just because she’s a bit pretty, people are giving her some face, what’s there to be cocky about,” “We were just being polite, and she’s really getting carried away,” “Poor thing should still stay in her dark corner” would follow suit.

People often develop a sense of superiority towards those they have oppressed for years, just like how some lapdogs like to fawn over their goddesses, and the goddesses take this attitude for granted.

The class ecosystem is the same.

They always think that if the oppressed party is “forgiven” one day, this forgiveness is something like charity, and the forgiven person should be eternally grateful to those who offered forgiveness. If she shows any slight tendency towards pride, trying to break the original balance, she would be immediately isolated and pushed back to her original situation.

So, even if Lin Yueye was disgusted in her heart, she couldn’t casually dispose of these envelopes in front of her classmates.

She just put them back into the desk drawer one by one, without even looking at them.

Tsk… Those confessions, you clearly just think Lin Yueye is pretty, right? Just because the public opinion has relaxed a bit, you’re making your move?

Forgive me for saying, but it’s a bit nauseating.

This could be seen from how those boys were eagerly waiting with sidelong glances, hoping Lin Yueye would read their letters, while the girls were lowering their heads, showing obvious disdain. Everything had changed, but everything also remained the same.

【Human, your expression doesn’t look very friendly?】

“I’m always like this… Never mind, come and sit properly, class is about to start.”

“Well, you’re really treating me like a student in this class? Well… it doesn’t feel too bad though~”

The invisible little deity sat on the small part of the chair that Lin Yueye had deliberately left vacant, pressing close to her. A girl plus a loli was already the maximum capacity for this chair, but leaning against each other, it didn’t feel too cramped. Lin Yueye quite liked this feeling, and was also surprised that the playful Yuebing had the patience to listen to the lessons.

【Human, I actually wanted to ask yesterday.】

“What?”

【When will we finally have cooking class? I haven’t even seen a pot yet.】

“How could that possibly…! Ahem, it should be soon, I guess,” Lin Yueye answered softly.

“I see, then I’d better be patient. Looking forward to it.”

“……”

Lin Yueye just remembered why there was a video titled “Daily Interview at Cooking School” in her phone’s video app.

Yuebing, you know what? Your expectations probably won’t be met here.

But Lin Yueye didn’t want to be honest, because if she said it, Yuebing might wander off. For this kind of cat girl, it’s more reassuring to keep her under close watch.

While waiting for the teacher to arrive, Lin Yueye was considering what caused the subtle change in the class’s attitude towards her.

Ninety percent sure it was Xia Mujin’s doing.

But the question is… how did she do it, and in such a short time?

“What class is this again, is it cooking?”

“It’s math.”

“Oh, that’s what I’m worst at.”

“Do you have anything you’re good at?”

Oh right, when Yuebing mentioned it, Lin Yueye remembered that this class was math.

Yesterday they had basically gone through all the other subjects, and she had met most of the subject teachers. Being an elite class, all those teachers were absolute backbones, all in their 50s or 60s, clinging to the edge of retirement.

Lin Yueye planned to do her best to get into a top university in this life, so she did care about the allocation of teachers.

But she hadn’t met the most important math teacher yet.

She seemed to have taken a day off yesterday, saying she had family matters, and changed yesterday’s math class into a self-study session for students to do exercises on their own.

Lin Yueye was in her third year of high school in her previous life, so she could definitely keep up with their second-year problems~ She even had an overwhelming advantage, after all, Lin Yueye used to be a top student, unlike Yuebing who couldn’t even figure out nine times nine and slept through two classes.

Puff, speaking of which, using knowledge from one year ahead to take exams in a lower grade, that shouldn’t count as cheating, right?

— Whoosh.

Just as Lin Yueye was lost in thought, the sound of the classroom door being pulled open rang out, and the scattered discussions and various inexplicable expectations in the classroom instantly became quiet.

Hm? The math teacher is back today?

Lin Yueye raised her head to take a peek at the math teacher’s true appearance, and with this look…

She was instantly stunned.

What a cold aura.

The teacher standing on the platform had a blue single ponytail, and when her eyes were open, they were icy amber blue.

She was wearing a neat work outfit with black pantyhose, but in terms of mature temperament, she might be lacking a bit.

Because she looked only a year or two older than Lin Yueye, at most in her early twenties.

Her expressionless face and icy demeanor made up for her lack of age. Just standing there was enough to suppress the atmosphere of the whole class to the point where no one dared to make a sound.

Lin Yueye was of course shocked by her young age.

But besides that.

Even if she wasn’t wearing the outfit from that day…

Lin Yueye’s memory wasn’t that bad.

Isn’t she the maid who was following Xia Mujin at the rental apartment that day!
