Chapter 7:

But Jiang Xin wasn't happy about this, as it meant her good days were over.

Su Yingying was also shaken. She had received benefits from Tang Xiaorou for over two years, and found it somewhat difficult to part with her. She looked enviously at the milk tea in Yu Chuyao's arms.

Her family doesn't give her much living expenses, just enough to buy some snacks for meals every day, but adding a cup of milk tea at this late hour isn't something she can do every day.

Therefore, Tang Xiaorou is also the treasure she doesn't want to let go of.

What do you mean? Hasn't Yingying been busy studying these days and doesn't have much time to pay attention to you? Today I asked you to bring water, but you didn't even answer my questions. Instead, you went to talk to this little mute!

Well, I've been a little mute again, Sister, how talkative you are. Yu Chuyao complained, and no wonder she complained like this. There probably wasn't a single line in the original book, and she was just living off the words of her classmates.

You see, from the way she said it, it seemed as if having any dealings with Su Yingying was a huge favor.

As for pretending to be a white lotus... who can't do that?!

"Classmate Tang, I can't accept this. I hope it won't affect the relationship between us classmates." Yu Chuyao dangled the milk tea bag on Tang Xiaorou's finger with an innocent look, and no one could notice her suspicions.

Seeing that Yu Chuyao didn't want it, Jiang Xinxin's face lit up with joy, and she pretended to reach out to take it, with the same action as an old woman sweeping a bottle of drink.

"That's what I mean. You should be more discerning. Don't take what isn't yours."

Tang Xiaorou was still surprised that Yu Chuyao didn't accept her things. Before she could recover, the weight of her hand disappeared.

Bang! Before Jiang Xinxin could share her joy with Su Yingying, Tang Xiaorou fiercely snatched the things away.

"Don't worry, Comrade Yu, this is especially for you." Tang Xiaorou's displeased expression as she looked at Su Yingying and the others gave way to a gentle smile as she turned around: "Do you like it? If not..."

From now on, I'll buy you one of each every day. Keep buying the one you like best.

Yu Chuyao blushed. As a girl educated in the traditional Chinese education system for twelve years, her parents had always told her to study hard, avoid bad habits, and... not to fall in love too early.

Therefore, she had only been in university for three months and hadn't had the chance to experience any emotions. She felt a little embarrassed when she was treated like this.

But she still had to be rational. She didn't know why this guy had suddenly changed his personality. Perhaps he had some advantage over her because of his identity.

Sadly, she still suffered the loss of traveling through a book without even reading the novel.

Faced with Jiang Xinxin's eyes that seemed to want to devour her alive, and the ferocity that couldn't be hidden in Su Yingying's eyes, Yu Chuyao decided to run away, fearing that Tang Xiaorou would bring hatred to her again.

"Hey, Fellow Yu, don't go. I'll go with you." Seeing Yu Chuyao flee, Tang Xiaorou quickly followed.

Only the two people who hadn't gained anything were left standing there, staring dumbfounded as the two disappeared into the dim landscape.

"Damn it!" Jiang Xin stamped her feet angrily. Even so, she didn't forget to advise Su Yingying, "Yingying, I think we have to leave Tang Xiaorou alone for a week. Otherwise, if we treat her too well, she'll go crazy!"

"She definitely won't be attracted to that country girl, Yu Chuyao. She's using her as a foil to pressure you."

Su Yingying also felt that Yu Chuyao was a nobody, and that she had barely made any impression on her during their high school years. She couldn't compare to her at all.

It's surprising that Tang Xiaorou could fall for such a girl.

 Besides, she also knew why Tang Xiaorou, who was also a little girl, was chasing her, but she wasn't a little girl.

Without Tang Xiaorou serving milk tea, there was no reason for the two of them to be at the school gate. They had to exercise early tomorrow, so it would be best to return home early to wash up and go to bed.

Yu Chuyao walked ahead, but she still hadn't taken a sip of the milk tea in her hand.

Tang Xiaorou ran all the way, and it took her quite a while to catch up. She was still wondering, "Yu Chuyao was so small, and she had only walked briskly on the way out, so why did she have to run such a long distance?"

The little guy can really walk!

After passing an intersection, the two stopped at a traffic light again.

"Comrade Yu, please accept this cup of milk tea." Tang Xiaorou kept persuading Yu Chuyao to accept her favors.

But Yu Chuyao replied, "No, I can't accept your favor without reason, Comrade Tang. It's too shameful." If she accepted it with a clear conscience, what would be the difference between her and Su Yingying, Jiang Xinxin, and the like?

No, it really doesn't work.

"How can it be without reason? "Aren't you helping me?" Tang Xiaorou explained with a

smile.

"Huh? Really? When?" Yu Chuyao was puzzled. How could she possibly not know that she had helped Tang Xiaorou?

Looking at Yu Chuyao's puzzled expression as she pondered the answer, although her long bangs were covering her face, the weather was windy at the time, and a slightly cold breeze blew past, pushing her bangs aside and revealing her cute little face.

"Ah~ It turns out that such a sweet, charming, and innocent girl is more suitable for me. If I recognize the wrong path earlier, my family won't disintegrate, and I won't die.

Fortunately, there is a chance to start over."

"Did I help you?" Yu Chuyao still didn't understand, so she could only wait for Tang Xiaorou's answer.

"Of course. Did you forget to explain the problem to me during class?"

Yu Chuyao: ... 

No, are you sure I want to explain the questions to you again? Besides, the test paper had almost no mistakes; even if there were, I wouldn't understand. In the end, she even asked Tang Xiaorou to explain the incorrect questions to her.

Damn, your reasoning makes me feel even more embarrassed.

Tang Xiaorou also noticed Yu Chuyao's distress and quickly spoke up to remedy the situation: "I've been busy with other things lately, and my foundation is a little shaky. It would be good to consolidate it with you."

This wasn't a lie to her, but it was still groundless in the face of Yu Chuyao's opinion.

Forget it. She's already said it. It would be ungrateful to refuse.

After all, she's the villain in the book. I, a nobody with no role in the play, can't possibly antagonize her, right?

"Okay." Yu Chuyao finally took the straw out of the bag and took a sip.

You won't know until you try it, and you'll be surprised when you do.

"Mmm~" How can it be so sweet? It tastes so good!

Before flipping through the books, Yu Chuyao preferred sour drinks or various light teas. She rarely bought overly sweet drinks that made her throat sticky.

But now, after taking a sip, I feel like the fatigue of studying all day in high school has been greatly relieved.

I couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Only then did Tang Xiaorou show a satisfied smile. The first step of her plan finally yielded some small results.
