Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Keeping the Appointment

***

Indeed, this was more urgent than studying.

Teacher Luo, look at how she keeps urging you repeatedly, yet you can patiently resist replying. I’m impressed.

I guess Luo Yahan is used to it by now. Even with just these few words of pressure, it’s not enough to break her.

Only after Lin Yueye nodded and said she could go meet her did Luo Yahan reply to Xia Mujin.

The reply was also very simple.

【She’s on her way to see you now. Whether she forgives you or not, I don’t know. I still have to teach class. You two talk it out in person.】

……………………………..

On the outskirts of the school, there was a commercial street that had been planned as a supporting facility when the school was initially built.

Most of the students at Qihai No.1 High School belonged to the wealthy category. Merchants, seeking profit, naturally planned out such streets to cater to their consumption after school or during holidays. Over time, not only the school but also nearby residents liked to come here for shopping. This place has become quite lively today.

At this moment.

Lin Yueye was holding Yuebing’s hand to prevent her from getting lost, stepping on the asphalt road of this bustling street.

In late summer and early autumn, most of the leaves had already turned yellow, still hanging on the treetops but not yet falling. In a few days, it would probably be piles of dry leaves.

And the two girls wearing Qihai No.1 High School uniforms naturally became the most eye-catching scene in this autumn landscape.

The sight of youthful charm and pure cuteness walking hand in hand was probably enough to make anyone, no matter how busy, stop and gaze.

But Lin Yueye, of course, was not aware of this.

She tried to keep her pace as slow as possible, but didn’t dare to go too slow. Recalling those messages Xia Mujin sent to Teacher Luo, she felt a chill.

“Yuebing, tell me, didn’t Teacher Luo say before that Xia Mujin didn’t trust her? From what I see, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Look how diligently she’s sending those messages.”

“Isn’t that right? This matter is quite urgent, but because of it, we painfully lost a meal.”

“A meal? How did we painfully lose a meal? It’s not even mealtime yet, is it?”

“Didn’t you hear during class? That cold-faced teacher said she was going to give us extra lessons. Because this matter is urgent, we can’t have those extra lessons now. Didn’t you notice that besides teaching math, she’s also a cook?”

“……”

Yuebing, I advise you to look up what “extra lessons” means first. Look at your uncultured self, it’s a shame you’re even wearing a school uniform.

Ah, but honestly, if there’s a chance later, I still need to talk to Teacher Luo and tell her not to overthink things.

If Xia Mujin didn’t rely on her, she wouldn’t be bombarding her alone with text messages. This only shows that the people Xia Mujin can trust are very limited, but Teacher Luo, who has been with her since she was little, definitely counts as one.

As she was thinking, Lin Yueye felt her palm being gripped a little tighter.

“Yuebing?”

“Hmph, you still haven’t said it, I did well today, didn’t I!”

“Indeed, you haven’t eaten salt today, I’m very pleased.”

“That’s not what I meant! I’m talking about the transfer student thing! I think I performed quite well.”

“……”

Don’t think Lin Yueye couldn’t see it.

Yuebing’s cheeks were slightly puffed up, looking disgruntled, occasionally glancing at Lin Yueye and quickly looking away, just like a child who rarely gets full marks on a test trying to seek praise from a parent, it was almost written all over her face.

She’s really easy to understand…

I used to always think she was despicable, but lately, I feel that Yuebing’s personality is quite sensitive, and there’s a sense of immaturity that hasn’t faded~

She did do well today, like how she’s used to referring to herself as “I” (in an archaic way), but had to change it to “I” (in a normal way) in front of everyone. Just for this point, she practiced half the night in the bathroom yesterday.

Other people’s cats go “meow meow meow”, but my cat goes “I I I”.

She’s the only cat that can stay by my side after all. When she helps, it’s only right to give some praise.

Unprecedentedly, Lin Yueye freed her other hand to pat her head.

“Umm meow?”

“Good job, good job~ You really did well today. As a reward, you can have two extra snow biscuits tonight. How’s that? Generous enough, right?”

“Oh…! How righteous!”

Yuebing didn’t seem to dislike this feeling.

She didn’t immediately shake off Lin Yueye’s hand, squinting her eyes to enjoy a few moments of comfort along with the warm sun on the horizon.

But after all, a deity still has the dignity of a deity.

After a few seconds, she swayed her body to the side, put one hand on her hip, and smiled confidently.

“No problem! It’s a piece of cake for me! Hehe, Lin Yueye, actually my performance today was far beyond just this. I was super strong today.”

“Oh?” Lin Yueye also smiled indulgently for once, “Did you do any other good deeds?”

“Of course! Before I came to school, I made you a cup of salt water, used half a bag! Guaranteed to be strong enough! Want to try it when we get home?”

“……”

The indulgent smile froze on her face.

Her fist clenched.

……………………………………

The coffee shop, a place Lin Yueye had never been to in both her lifetimes.

But what could she do? Although coffee wasn’t considered a luxury item in this era, she didn’t need to work in such a place, and compared to spending 20 yuan on a cup of coffee that would keep her awake, she’d rather drink water that costs a few cents and sleep soundly.

One human and one cat girl, sneakily pretending to be natural, had already circled the coffee shop twice.

“Yuebing, have you spotted her position?”

“Of course~ You can trust me to handle this, I guarantee to catch her off guard.”

“I didn’t tell you to scratch her! Tsk, you haven’t forgotten how Teacher Luo instructed us to ‘act’, have you?”

“I’m aspiring to be a crosstalk performer.”

“Alright, I believe you. You stay put first and act according to the situation. Don’t let me down at the crucial moment.”

“Just watch me!”

I hope you’ll be a good cat.

Taking a deep breath.

Lin Yueye walked straight towards the transparent glass front door of the coffee shop.

From when they were circling earlier, she and Yuebing had already noticed that Xia Mujin was sitting in the corner by the wall.

Unlike others in the coffee shop who were working and typing, or friends chatting and laughing.

Xia Mujin was wearing a proper and elegant coffee-colored jacket, her black hair cascading down her back, beautiful beyond words. But she just sat there at the table, guarding a cup of coffee, melancholic and solemn, neither sad nor happy, as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing this scene through the glass door, Lin Yueye’s heart inexplicably tightened. Even without previous memories, there was a subconscious, vague sense of heartache.

Having seen her, the hesitation from earlier on the road disappeared.

Lin Yueye pushed the door open, and the bell at the door was pulled by the opening door, making a “welcome” sound effect.

No one would pay much attention to new customers in the coffee shop, as everyone orders by scanning a code now, so there’s no need for someone to greet them.

So, without any commotion, Lin Yueye walked directly to the window in the corner of the coffee shop.

Deliberately pressing her body down a bit lower so she could be heard.

Not wanting to make her voice too loud, yet it came out as a soft whisper.

The final squeezed-out voice was so pleasant to the ear.

“Classmate Mujin…?”

“?!”

Before she could see clearly who had come, before she heard the voice, she had already stood up straight!

“Yueye?!”

“Yes… it’s me?”
