Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Very Sweet

***

Give you another chance?

Lin Yueye remained noncommittal about this.

She didn’t directly nod in agreement, but at the same time, she didn’t shake her head in refusal.

Following the teacher Luo’s principle of “keeping her on the hook,” she took it further with her superb acting skills, leaving Xia Mujin completely confused.

Xia Mujin didn’t even dare to sit down, swallowing nervously with extreme tension.

“Yueye, does this mean… we can still talk in the future… you won’t hate me, right?”

“I… don’t know.”

“Then surely… surely that’s a yes! Haha… Yueye, you just like to overthink things, how could we not be friends?”

“If Classmate Mujin acts that way again… I’ll definitely hate you.”

“Then I’ll definitely change! I promise!”

What a strategic retreat.

You’ll change? Won’t act that way anymore?

Laughable, if we were given a private room right now, you’d probably still try to pull at my clothes.

Lin Yueye knew that Xia Mujin’s mental state wasn’t something she could control herself. Her true heart certainly didn’t want to hurt Lin Yueye, but her side that escaped reality would sometimes overshadow her true heart, becoming someone she herself wouldn’t recognize — this was all teacher Luo’s professional analysis, which Lin Yueye absolutely believed, after all, she was the direct victim.

Lin Yueye didn’t come here to let Xia Mujin torture herself, desperately promising things she wasn’t even sure she could accomplish.

“Can Classmate Mujin sit down first…? You standing there makes me afraid.”

“!”

You know what, with such a pitiful face, words really do work, who says authority must be built on power~

Xia Mujin obediently sat back in her chair, with an “I’m listening, tell me” expression.

Well then…

Before, it was always you apologizing one-sidedly.

Now I want to say something, I’ll just say it directly.

“Your elder brother… how is his situation now, has his body been cremated?”

“Why… suddenly ask about this…?”

Xia Mujin’s expression visibly became heavy, her originally troubled gaze remained the same, just with an added layer of gloom.

Yes.

This was Lin Yueye acting on her own, outside of Luo Yahan’s planned strategy.

Teacher Luo had said to try hard to avoid mentioning topics about Xia Muqing, to use her own matters to divert her attention, best if she could forget everything about Xia Muqing, this way she would have a way to live on.

Teacher Luo was indeed impressive… she was expert in psychology, and was truly trying to help Mujin. After trying many methods without success, she believed making Xia Mujin forget those pains was the best way for her to move forward.

—— But Lin Yueye didn’t think so.

If Xia Mujin could really return to being a happy person, then even being forgotten wouldn’t matter.

After all, she had forgotten her too, from this perspective, it was reasonable, it should be fair for both.

But…

Is it really okay…?

Lin Yueye’s hands trembled slightly under the table…

Even if not remembered.

Perhaps, this isn’t something that can be easily accepted either.

Even if she could throw aside her own feelings, Lin Yueye understood that for Xia Mujin — forgetting wasn’t the right path to emerge from the shadows.

For instance, now her mind is full of apologies, so is her behavior like a normal person?

It’s not.

She’s still jumpy, like a hedgehog highly distrustful of the whole world, trapping herself in a dark cage, interpreting a so-called “self-perceived wellness.”

Lin Yueye certainly knew teacher Luo’s plan was the most reasonable at present.

But this didn’t mean she would completely follow Luo Yahan’s planning.

She had her own judgment.

After all, there was one thing teacher Luo didn’t know.

—— That is, Ling Qingyue, or rather, Xia Muqing, was actually still alive.

Sitting right here.

Just without memories from before age 7.

But what if one day… what if she remembered?

Yuebing had said, after accumulating divine power, though difficult, it wasn’t impossible.

Would remembering memories from before age 7 allow her to truly save her sister as Xia Muqing?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Yueye had a flame in her heart.

No one wants a blank period in their life, nor does anyone want their family’s understanding of them to have a vast emptiness.

Isn’t the meaning of living one life about remembering?

Forgetting is true death.

The wavering in Lin Yueye’s crimson pupils gradually became firm, not avoiding this topic.

“If your brother’s matters aren’t finished, Classmate Mujin can’t return to school either, right?”

“I… but he… I…”

“It’s okay, don’t think too much, I just want to know, has he been cremated?”

“Cre… cremated, yes, this morning… parents took him… hiss…”

“Mm, that’s enough, that’s sufficient…”

Xia Mujin’s expression grew more painful, and Lin Yueye didn’t have the heart to make her think more about those furnace flames.

However…

Wuwu, gone in an instant, everyone! By this time, I should have turned to ashes!

Lin Yueye wanted to cry but couldn’t, pushed her unopened coffee on the table towards Xia Mujin, interrupting her thoughts.

“Let’s not talk about those things, I don’t understand those matters anyway, by the way does Classmate Mujin want coffee? I’m not used to drinking this.”

“Coffee… haa… Yueye, I don’t want coffee either, can I drink that?”

“This?”

“Mm, coffee is too rich, I feel a bit dizzy, want to drink something cold and sour.”

Lin Yueye noticed Xia Mujin was pointing at the orange juice she had already taken a few sips from.

“Uh… I’ve already drunk from this though?”

More embarrassingly, Lin Yueye just remembered she had a habit of biting straws when drinking, and the straw at the cup’s mouth had already been flattened by her biting.

But since Xia Mujin said she wanted to drink it, Lin Yueye could only look around trying to find a solution for her.

“I… I’ll go get another straw, or Classmate Mujin you could flip this straw over and use… eh?!”

“Mm, I’ll get a new straw for Yueye later, for me… drinking directly like this is fine?”

Without waiting for a response.

She had already taken Lin Yueye’s orange juice cup.

And completely disregarding Lin Yueye’s used habits, she closed her night-colored eyes, elegantly swept her hair to one side, bent down towards the straw, modestly opened her mouth, took the straw between her lips, and drank quickly sip by sip.

No… wait, you can put that straw I bit into that shape in your mouth?!

By the way, this kind of behavior… isn’t it called an “indirect kiss”?!

She seemed like she was really hot, or maybe mentally restless, very quickly half the orange juice was gone.

Making a “fuha” sound as she put down the nearly empty orange juice on the table, though it wasn’t alcohol, she drank with a kind of unrestrained satisfaction similar to drinking alcohol.

Finally those star-like eyes looked at the slightly surprised Lin Yueye, softly laughing:

“Indeed… the orange juice is very sweet.”

“……”
