Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Professional Quality

***

Huh…?

What… what… what does this mean?!

When the heart is confused, the words follow suit.

“Why meow?!”

“Meow…?”

“No… no! What I mean is, why?! How could she…! I’m not saying Lebing isn’t good enough, but Yueye, if you want to avoid gossip, you should be closer to me!”

To put it plainly.

She’s just not good enough!

“Classmate Mujin…? You seem a bit excited…?”

“How could I not be…! sigh, sorry, I did lose my composure a bit, it reminded me of my family’s parrot that died last year, it was quite a thing, but it’s fine now.”

“……”

That parrot must have been really important to you, making you selectively explode like that.

How could Xia Mujin not lose control of her emotions?

Her eyes were fixed on the part where Lin Yueye’s arm was wrapped around Lin Lebing.

Usually, Yueye’s soft chest in Mujin’s eyes had a lovely shape, like unripe green apples, unripe yet tempting.

Mujin knew thinking this way was a bit inappropriate, but everyone has the right to their aesthetic appreciation! She just liked it, and couldn’t help looking a few more times!

And now.

Those “green apples” that often attracted her attention were steadily pressed against Lebing’s arm. As Yueye leaned forward more, the green apples transformed into small marshmallows, showing slight deformation from the pressure. Mujin couldn’t imagine how amazing it must feel to be pressed like that!

“Stop…! Yueye, sit up straight, don’t bend over.”

“Why?”

“It’s definitely bad for your spine! What kind of question is that.”

“Okay…? Thanks for caring?”

“Don’t mention it.”

Watching Yueye slowly sit up straight, moving the problematic position away from Lebing’s body, the “fierce light” in Mujin’s eyes gradually softened, and she finally had the mood to continue their previous topic.

“Yueye, so what’s the answer to the earlier question?”

“The answer…”

Although little Yueye wasn’t deliberately leaning on Yuebing anymore, her eye contact with the cat girl became more frequent.

They were exchanging information through tacit understanding, preparing to “act” — but to Mujin, it looked like they were just flirting!

Finally, Lin Yueye put her hand on Yuebing’s shoulder, her eyes full of infinite tender reminiscence.

“I really miss the days when Lebing and I were at the orphanage…”

“Back then we were together day and night, we didn’t have many snacks, but we could share a snow biscuit. At the orphanage, I didn’t have many friends, but with Lebing there, I never felt lonely. After I came to Qihai No.1 High School, many people gossiped about me… I didn’t know what to do, but now that Lebing is here, I won’t be afraid anymore.”

Lin Yueye winked at Yuebing, signaling her to say her lines.

How could Yuebing know what lines to say, their hastily agreed-upon script was full of holes, completely terrible.

For a little actor, it was all about improvisation.

“Yes… yes! Sister Yueye, don’t worry, if anyone dares to gossip from now on, I’ll punch their heads!”

The little one didn’t have much muscle, but when she flexed her arm, it looked quite powerful.

Lin Yueye grabbed Yuebing’s hand, showing gratitude on her face, her silver hair laying on her profile, like a drifting leaf that had finally found its home, full of tender feelings.

“Yes… with Lebing here, I won’t be afraid of loneliness anymore, and I won’t fear others’ gossip. Before, people gossiped because I could only come and go alone, but now with the two of us together, we won’t have to worry about anything.”

“Haha, of course! If anyone speaks ill of Sister Yueye, I’ll even give passing dogs a couple of punches!”

The two played off each other like an old married couple performing a duet, their words flowing freely.

This performance thoroughly confused Mujin.

But she was still the young lady of the Xia family, and her logical thinking was first-rate.

It meant… this Lin Lebing was quite fierce, with an unyielding personality, not someone who would be bullied, and could help Yueye deal with trouble.

Therefore, for those gossipmongers, Yueye no longer needed her help to mediate.

This seemed to make sense.

But…

Mujin’s perspective on things wasn’t so simple.

After a brief moment of anxiety, Young Lady Xia swept all her black hair behind her back, confident.

She was completely back to her composed self.

“Hmph, that’s fine, but Classmate Lebing, as the class monitor and student council president, I need to remind you that fighting isn’t allowed in our school, okay?”

“It won’t happen.” Lin Yueye quickly said with a bitter smile before Yuebing could show her dissatisfaction, “She’s just joking, she won’t actually fight.”

“Mm, of course I believe that, I know someone who’s been friends with Yueye since childhood wouldn’t be a bad kid. However… Yueye, aren’t you overlooking something?”

“Hm? Am I?”

“Of course, maybe regarding rumors and gossip, being with Classmate Lebing might filter out quite a bit, but I remember you saying you were quite troubled about those pests… ahem, about those love letters from pursuers, right?”

“That’s true… so?”

“So! Yueye, you need to be friends with me even more! Look how I rarely get bothered, if you stay by my side, naturally they won’t bother you either. Don’t talk about troubling me, I’m more than willing to be troubled by you!”

As if unwilling to lose, declaring her sovereignty in front of Lebing, Mujin grabbed Lin Yueye’s left hand that was on the table with both hands. Her sincere appearance wasn’t just making a suggestion, it could even be considered a confession expressing her true feelings.

But for every move, there’s a counter.

Yuebing whistled unsuccessfully from her seat, and very casually made a bold statement that made Mujin’s whole body tremble.

“What’s the need? Why fear pursuers? I can just become Yueye’s lover, surely no one would be so inconsiderate as to interfere when someone already has a partner?”

“You… you… what did you say?!”

Mujin! Stay calm!!

Fortunately, she had grabbed Lin Yueye’s hand earlier, and Lin Yueye could use the reaction force to somewhat control her.

Otherwise, she felt that Mujin would have grabbed Yuebing’s collar and punched her!

—— At the same time, little Yueye glared at Yuebing from the corner of her eye.

Although this was all planned dialogue…

But weren’t you being too bold!

Little Yueye quickly acted gentlemanly, releasing Mujin’s hand while explaining Yuebing’s words.

“Ahaha… Lebing just watched a variety show the other day… it was acting, where the female lead was always being pursued, and the male lead pretended to be her partner to keep her from being bothered, Lebing must have seen that and… hm? But why is Classmate Mujin so angry?”

“I…!”

“Didn’t we make an agreement?” Lin Yueye tilted her head with a smile, as if saying she knew exactly why Mujin was angry, then slowly said, “‘Three rules,’ remember?”

“I’m not angry… I just knew Classmate Lebing was talking nonsense, but Yueye, you should still scold her, saying such misleading things is not good, how scary.”

“Hmph.”

Yuebing was fully in character now.

She snorted and turned her head away, muttering words that were completely improvised beyond the “script.”

“Even if that variety show was acting, if Yueye really asked me to be her lover, I wouldn’t refuse, really.”

Murderous aura.

Pfft…

Yuebing, I admire your professional quality, but sometimes you should consider your own personal safety!
