Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Secret Plan

***

【Yuebing… do you think… do you think this will work?】

【How would I know if it will work or not, but listen Lin Yueye, we have a reason why we must give it a shot.】

【Reason…?】

【That’s right, for the sake of having salt grains to chew on every day in the future, just for this, you must hold firm to your belief!】

【Just for this, I can’t hold firm to my belief?!】

This was a conversation between Lin Yueye and Yuebing before coming to school on the first day of the new semester.

Little Yueye sat obediently in her seat, using her peripheral vision to observe her surroundings like a little hamster.

Apart from the usual curious glances thrown her way from time to time, there was nothing unusual in the classroom.

Today, no one dared to slip love letters into her desk anymore. Teacher Luo’s previous “warning” during the meeting had indeed worked wonders.

And then there’s…

The silver-haired girl loosely held her pen, pretending to write a “π” in her exercise book, while secretly lifting her head to glance at the empty seat in front of her.

As expected, Xia Mujin had taken leave again this morning and hadn’t come.

According to the message Teacher Luo sent last night, the chances of Xia Mujin coming to school today were also slim.

【She’s not in a good mental state. She’s locked herself in her room since dinner time, and she’s still holding onto that collar. I guess she won’t be able to come first thing in the morning. Don’t worry about it, just proceed according to the original plan.】

Lin Yueye had anticipated that her mental state wouldn’t be good.

But sister, when your mental state isn’t good, don’t hold onto that damn collar!

Lin Yueye couldn’t help but shudder. Even though Mujin wasn’t here, just thinking about the iron spike decorations on that collar gave her the chills.

At this moment, the classroom was peaceful and harmonious. This top class wouldn’t make a big fuss before lessons, let alone when the first lesson was mathematics. Teacher Luo’s teaching skills were well-known, and everyone was preparing to ask about the wrong questions they had encountered over the weekend.

Lin Yueye had previously overheard the boys saying that even if they didn’t have any wrong questions, it would be worth it just to talk to the ice-cold beauty. Even without wrong questions, they should still ask a few.

This sounded silly, but it couldn’t be helped. It was human nature. Wasn’t there a meme on the internet before, if your teacher was a peerlessly beautiful girl, would you still worry about your grades?

She couldn’t say for sure about other things, but at least, the enthusiasm for studying had increased.

However, these scenes, which were no different from usual, were not the reason Lin Yueye felt nervous.

Only Lin Yueye knew… this was probably the brief calm before the storm.

After all…

Yuebing wasn’t by her side right now.

She was carrying out a “secret mission”. It was a matter of great importance, and Lin Yueye didn’t know if she could handle it well, but at least the school teaching building wasn’t the cafeteria, there was no salt or meow meow snow biscuits, which greatly reduced the probability of Yuebing making a mistake.

As Lin Yueye’s gaze returned from the direction of the podium, she also noticed the clock on the wall above it.

It was now 7:59 in the morning.

57… 58… 59…

— Here it comes!

The moment the hand pointed to 8 o’clock on the clock, the bell rang, and the students instinctively sat up straighter.

Almost simultaneously with the bell, the classroom’s sliding door opened.

Beneath the teacher’s pure black uniform, her legs were wrapped in black pantyhose, her high heels making a rhythmic sound as they hit the tiles. Her blue hair flowed like a dreamlike river of stars, accompanying her brisk pace. Her confident demeanor exuded from within as she walked up to the podium, without the slightest hesitation.

Teacher Luo always arrived at the classroom very punctually. This punctuality didn’t just mean she wasn’t late, she didn’t come late, but she also absolutely didn’t come early.

It was as if working an extra minute would be a great loss. She came exactly when she said she would, not a minute more or less. Teacher Luo demonstrated the spirit of the labor contract to the fullest.

She stood the textbook upright and gently tapped it on the iron surface of the podium desk. Everyone looked up at the sound, focusing their attention, and habitually took out their textbooks, ready to turn the pages.

However, Luo Yahan didn’t simply tell them which page to turn to and which question to look at as usual.

Instead, she kept the textbook standing on the podium, pressing it with the back of her hand, and her cool voice came out as her gaze turned back to the front.

“Your class teacher has taken a leave today, so I’ll temporarily take over the class teacher’s duties. Coincidentally, we have a new student transferring to our class today. I hope you can accept your classmate, get along well, and don’t think there’s any difference just because they come from another school. You’re all the same age, so you should be more tolerant of each other.”

After saying this, everyone in the class curiously turned their gaze towards the door, and Luo Yahan also tilted her head to look in the direction of the door, only Lin Yueye further lowered her position, burying her face in the sea of knowledge in her textbook, not daring to directly face reality.

“Student, you can come in now.”

“……”

No movement.

There was indeed a figure swaying by the frosted glass window of the classroom door. Usually, everyone used that to judge whether the teaching director was peeking outside.

But that figure just swayed left and right, without pushing the door open to enter.

Luo Yahan frowned and said, “I’ll go take a look, you wait a moment.”

At the same time, the childish voice of the little cat girl echoed in Lin Yueye’s mind.

【Can I not go in yet? I’ve been waiting for half the day.】

Just go in! Didn’t Teacher Luo already call you?

【How strange, isn’t there only one transfer student outside? Why did your teacher call ‘student’, who’s called student? What a strange name, my name sounds better, hehe.】

Don’t hehe, you’re the one called student!

Luo Yahan personally went to the door and led the petite transfer student in by the arm, her face full of exasperation.

Her gaze turned towards Lin Yueye, who had buried her face in her book, with a hint of reproach, as if saying, what kind of thing did you recommend?

As Yuebing’s figure stepped into the classroom, whether boys or girls, their eyes, which had been drowsy due to the early morning, were all coated with a layer of light, suddenly brightening.

“Wow… so cute, a transfer student? Are you sure she’s in the same grade as us?”

“A grade-skipper?”

“She looks like an elementary school student… but she’s really cute indeed.”

Cute?

You guys don’t know what she’s like when she’s eating salt by the bag, she’s simply a monster!

Well, although Lin Yueye wanted to retort like this, judging solely by Yuebing’s appearance and attire, she was indeed cute. This was something she couldn’t deny to herself.

Yuebing could actively dispel her invisibility and materialize, and she could also hide her cat ears and tail, becoming indistinguishable from a normal human.

Her night-black hair was adorned with butterfly hairpins, falling fluffily on her petite shoulders. Her large, watery eyes could evoke a protective instinct with each blink. Under her well-fitted school uniform, a pair of black over-knee socks also made her short legs look a bit longer, of course, they were still very short, she was too short.

Looking at this stupid loli who wasn’t at all timid but looked dazed, Luo Yahan clicked her tongue and prompted.

“New student, please introduce yourself.”

“Huh?”

Lin Yueye held her breath, inadvertently making eye contact with Yuebing’s big eyes, and quickly glared back with a “hurry up, don’t look at me” expression!

Ah… do your best, Yuebing. I don’t know if this will go wrong, but I recommended you, so you must make me proud!

So…

How did things end up like this again?

………………………………………

Well, this all started with Luo Yahan’s “secret plan”.

A couple of days ago at the Xia family mansion, Luo Yahan whispered in Lin Yueye’s ear.

“Listen… I have an idea that might work. I need someone to stand up now, to act out a play with you for Xia Mujin.”

“Act… Why… But I don’t know how to act?”

“I’m not asking you to actually go on stage and sing opera. The stage I’m talking about isn’t some professional stage, but our school, specifically, our class.”

Seeing Lin Yueye’s surprised but uncomprehending expression, even such a simple expression looked helpless and pitiful.

Luo Yahan looked her up and down carefully, nodded, and added a sentence.

“Let me correct you, you say you don’t know how to act, but I think you have quite a talent for acting. I’m serious.”
