Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 72

Chapter 72: The Taste Is Really Good!

***

Recently, little Yueye’s survival environment at school has gotten much better than before.

With Luo Yahan’s overt reminder and Xia Mujin’s covert pressure, those girls don’t dare to glare at her anymore.

The frequency of love letters from male students has also noticeably decreased — after all, there’s a monthly exam next week.

Rather than persisting in delivering love letters that won’t get any response, they prefer to use this time to stabilize their grades. This shows they’re still rational. After all, the principle that blind pursuers never end well has become deeply ingrained. Even without girlfriends, as students in the advanced class, they can’t afford to lose their academic standing too.

This has indeed made Lin Yueye’s school life much easier.

But this doesn’t prevent poor little Yueye from having another day without friends.

Though that’s not entirely accurate.

If we’re talking about “acting” friendships at school among classmates, Lin Yueye does have those!

“Lebing, how’s your exam preparation going?”

“Haven’t prepared at all, what’s there to roast?”

“The exam! Don’t you know there’s an exam next week?”

“So what are we roasting?”

“……”

During the relatively long break between classes, Lin Yueye turned around to chat briefly with Yuebing — and then became confused.

What… what exam?

Of course it’s exams in subjects like math, Chinese, English, and such. What else could it be, roasting a goose?

“Are we roasting a goose?”

“For heaven’s sake, stop talking.”

Speaking quietly with me is one thing, but you should be careful not to let others hear your foolishness.

We’re desk mates having a quiet conversation here, you need to be more mindful.

Sigh…

Lin Yueye expressed deep concern.

Although having Yuebing attend school was something arranged jointly by herself and Teacher Luo, she had previously told Teacher Luo that Yuebing’s academic performance was good. Teacher Luo had used school policy to bring her into the class. If Yuebing scores zeros in the upcoming monthly exam, even Teacher Luo would have a hard time keeping her here.

Not being able to act alongside herself is a minor issue.

The key is that if that happens, the divine one would have to stay at home!

“Lebing, you need to study hard, think about your own future.”

“Hmm…? Has the acting started already? Ahem…!”

Yuebing cleared her throat, sat up straight in her petite frame, and smiled gracefully, looking absolutely adorable and harmless.

“Don’t worry, Sister Yueye~ Since I finally got the chance to study here, if I can’t be the top scholar, I should at least rank as a… mmph?!”

“Shh…!”

Just shut up, will you!

Yuebing would occasionally blurt out these kinds of outdated phrases that sound absurd in modern society. It seems that when she was paying attention to “exams” in heaven, it was still ancient times when people were testing on the Four Books and Five Classics. Yuebing said she blinked and suddenly arrived in the present, time really flies.

Yuebing gently bit Lin Yueye’s hand that was covering her mouth with her little fangs. When Lin Yueye pulled her hand away in pain, her little face was full of displeasure.

“Hmph… You think I don’t know? Getting first place in your exams now isn’t called being the top scholar.”

“Oh, so you’ve done your homework?”

“Of course, doing well in your exams now is called being a civil servant, everyone’s taking those tests.”

“……”

The little cat went from being completely out of touch to too in touch really quickly.

That’s so like you.

A single long break between classes was enough to make Lin Yueye quite happy.

Little did she know…

From the direction of the front row, a deeply resentful gaze was being cast from a rather concealed angle.

Today, Xia Mujin had returned to school.

She had just come to school and wanted to admire Yueye’s otherworldly beauty during the break, but guess what she saw when she turned around?

Lin Lebing… Lin Lebing…

She and my Yueye… are chatting so happily…!!

One moment they’re laughing and joking.

The next moment they’re frowning and pointing at things.

There’s even physical contact like covering mouths and raising hands!

They’re clearly close friends who can talk about anything and everything!

The notebook with elegantly written notes from the first class had already been crumpled into waste paper by the force of her grip. If she had a microphone right now, the sound of her grinding teeth could probably be recorded and materialized.

The classmates didn’t know the situation, but they could all sense that… Young Lady Xia seemed unhappy today.

They all avoided walking near her.

But there were still some who couldn’t read the room.

Like the girl who was the vice-captain of the basketball team.

Against the wind, she walked right over.

Her face full of admiring, fawning smiles with ulterior motives.

The basketball team was currently applying for a budget from the student council, and it was in a state where it could either be approved or not, all depending on how the team members pursued it!

Yes, that girl thought her silver tongue could easily get even President Xia to sign off, after all, the basketball team just wanted a little money, it wasn’t a big deal.

So, she boldly went over.

“President Xia, um… sorry to bother you? About the basketball team’s budget, I submitted the report earlier, could the student council approve it today? Ah, there’s no rush, you probably haven’t had time to look at it yet, after you’ve read it…”

“You should have already applied last year. I believe basketball wear and tear replacements, as well as framework maintenance, can be completely resolved within the department’s fixed budget. I’ll have the school logistics handle the basketball hoop reinforcement, there’s no need to hire outside personnel for repairs. As for the gymnasium renovation you mentioned, that’s something the school board needs to consider, you don’t need to apply for it separately. You might think that by applying for something big, you can easily get the smaller issues approved, however, if it’s not approved, it’s because it can’t be approved, regardless of these factors.”

“…?! What about those screws we applied for last…”

“They’ve been transferred over from the volleyball team, go sign for them yourself.”

“!”

Not even giving screws?!

In that instant when Xia Mujin looked up, the basketball team’s girl seemed to see the eyes of some fierce beast about to eat someone!

Oh… oh no, seems like I caught her at the worst possible moment?!

This girl probably wanted to try negotiating further, after all, the student council was usually quite generous. Why was the president suddenly so unsympathetic today?

But Xia Mujin didn’t give her any more chances.

She stood up and pushed the already reviewed basketball team budget application form to the girl, never directly looking at the basketball team vice-captain, but constantly staring towards the back rows. Her expression was unusually stern, as if she had seen some kind of “pest.”

“If you want to apply, write a new form. The student council won’t approve these unnecessary items or attempts at being clever.”

“O-okay! We’ll definitely… huh?!”

Why is the application form all crumpled up?!

The girl’s face turned pale.

Considering the president’s expression and the ruined form in her hands, she thought our basketball team just wanted to ask for a few screws and new basketball hoops, why such a reaction?!

It’s over, even if we apply again, it probably won’t work.

The girl hung her head dejectedly, but Xia Mujin had no interest in dealing with her.

After all, her initial sharp attitude wasn’t directed at her.

Xia Mujin’s eyes were full of that radiant smile in the back row.

As she walked out from behind her desk towards the back, the gloom on her face gradually transformed into a gentle smile. If she were to perform face-changing in Sichuan Opera, she’d definitely win an award at the school’s annual performance.

On Lin Yueye’s side, she naturally noticed Xia Mujin approaching from her peripheral vision.

The face-changing master wasn’t just one person.

Just moments ago she was laughing and talking with Yuebing, but seeing Xia Mujin approach…

—— Didn’t she also switch to a timid expression?

This completely different demeanor when facing her compared to when facing Lin Lebing made Xia Mujin’s eyebrows twitch again.

But she had no intention of leaving just like that.

The classmate sitting in front of Lin Yueye had gone out during the break, so Xia Mujin simply sat in that front seat. After greeting Lin Yueye with a particularly sweet smile, she turned to look at Lin Lebing cheerfully, appearing extremely friendly.

“Mm, Classmate Lebing looks so energetic. As class monitor, I haven’t had the chance to look after our new student yet. How are you adapting to life at Qihai No.1 High School?”

“Great! Mainly because the food is good, when you eat well, you naturally have energy!”

“Haha, indeed, our cafeteria is quite good.”

“No, no.”

Yuebing waved both hands in denial, she hadn’t even gotten her meal card yet, how could she have eaten at the cafeteria?

That’s not what she meant to say.

“I mean, the snacks you gave to Sister Yueye yesterday were really tasty. She didn’t eat any of them, I ate them all, the taste was really good!”

“Hiss…!”
