Moreover, she seemed to hear Jiang Cuo give a faint hum.
After the fourth period, it's lunch break time, and everyone goes to eat.
But just before get out of class was about to end, the homeroom teacher came in and told the subject teachers to leave first.
"Classmates, a new student will be joining us in a little while. She's coming from another high school to our school for college entrance exam preparation. She'll be attending classes with us starting this afternoon. She's also quite familiar with Jiang Cuo from our class. When she arrives, Jiang Cuo, please show her around our school."
Su Qianqian couldn't listen to what the teacher was saying, and was thinking about how to give Jiang Cuo the love letter with a suitable reason and excuse.
[Useless System: Please read the love letter aloud to Jiang Cuo, with great emotion and passion.]
Su Qianqian: ...
Thank you so much for the idea.
So, just as the homeroom teacher finished delivering the message and was about to leave, and the students were eagerly waiting for the bell to ring so they could rush out of the classroom to grab their food, Su Qianqian suddenly stood up like a rocket.
Su Qianqian's face turned bright red, and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to bite her tongue.
This useless system never intended to help her.
Amidst the surprised gazes of her classmates, Su Qianqian picked up the pink envelope on her desk, delicately opened it with her pinky finger raised, and took out the love letter inside.
"Jiang Cuo, there are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time. You are very beautiful, with delicate phoenix eyes, a full forehead, a face so white it reflects light, a tall figure, a flamboyant ponytail, a perfect oval face, a slightly pointed chin, and beautiful thin lips. You are perfect in every way, and I envy you so much."
And having lived together for so long, I've discovered that your beautiful appearance is the least noticeable aspect of you. You are kind-hearted, gentle, and always have a faint smile on your lips. You are diligent in your work and sincere in your dealings with others. Even though my foundation is so poor, you still wholeheartedly taught me knowledge. When I was distrusted, you resolutely stood in front of me. You are the best person in the world, like the rising sun giving me hope and filling me with motivation, like the afterglow gently allowing me to rest and appreciate. It is my good fortune to be your deskmate, because your guidance has enabled me to achieve excellent results. I am very, very grateful to you, and..."
Su Qianqian has now used her toes to carve out a dream castle twice the size of the villa.
That damned, useless system! Why did it have to be so cruel to her?
Some cheesy things are fine when written down, but when actually read aloud, they really make your scalp tingle.
Finally, Su Qianqian just couldn't bring herself to say it. If she had known the useless system would make her read it aloud, she wouldn't have written this part.
Su Qianqian's face was flushed red with embarrassment. Although she had a thick skin, it wasn't always impossible to see through it.
Meanwhile, all the classmates who shipped the couple went crazy, frantically covering their mouths to avoid their laughter ruining Su Qianqian's confession.
Their initial shock turned into adoration for the couple. After all, saying that Jiang Cuo was understanding and gentle could only be a case of Su Qianqian seeing beauty in the eye of the beholder.
What is a slight smile at the corners of the mouth?
Aside from that perpetually icy, indifferent expression, Jiang Cuo showed no other emotion whatsoever.
Jiang Cuo's tightly furrowed brows had been smoothed out, and his kind face now wore a faint smile. His bristling fox fur looked as if it had been smoothed out, and his tail proudly curled up.
Jiang Cuo didn't forget to glance at Su Lian out of the corner of his eye.
The homeroom teacher clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"Alright, alright, the bell has rung. Everyone, go eat. Mind your own business and mind your own business."
This gave Su Qianqian a way out.
Even the students who were shipping the couple had their limits, not wanting to embarrass Su Qianqian too much, so they all rushed out of the classroom to go eat.
Jiang Cuo remained seated, as if she hadn't heard enough, her expression still savoring the moment. She slowly opened her mouth and uttered a soft, "Quite pretty."
Su Qianqian's toes were numb from scratching, and she lay on the chair as if she had no strength left. The envelope fell onto Jiang Cuo's table.
I don't know if Jiang Cuo's comment that it was "quite pretty" was a compliment to her envelope or to Jiang Cuo's own face.
Jiang Cuo glanced at Su Lian's shocked face, a slight smile playing on his lips, his whole body radiating smugness. However, he suppressed his smugness, while the invisible fox tail behind him clapped happily.
She said softly, "Love letters are so precious. I hope they don't get damaged if I leave them on my desk. I can't bear the responsibility."
A note from the author:
Jiang Cuo: Confessing to me? How could I possibly accept that? [Smugly putting on airs and holding a grudge]
Su Qianqian: That makes it possible, that makes it possible.
Jiang Cuo: Fine then~ Hmph~
Su Qianqian: Wiping sweat, it's really not easy to make money these days.
Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 00:06:37 on April 20, 2022 and 19:12:07 on April 21, 2022!
Thank you to the little angels who threw landmines: a laid-back cat and a top student;
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter Thirty-Seven
It was just too embarrassing.
So when the classmates all left, Su Qianqian didn't know how to face Jiang Cuo.
Seeing that most people had left, he quickly got up and rushed out of the classroom.
Jiang Cuo didn't mind. He picked up the exquisite pink love letter, examined it carefully, and then carefully placed it inside the last book. Only then was he relieved and satisfied, and left the classroom to have lunch.
...
When the students finished lunch and were about to return for their afternoon nap, the homeroom teacher appeared again, this time with an unfamiliar face.
After finishing her meal, Su Qianqian came back and lay on the table, burying her face in her arms.
She could feel Jiang Cuo's gaze fixed on her from beside her.
"I apologize for taking up your lunch break, but due to some special circumstances, the school is unable to hold a welcome ceremony for new students. So we'll have a small one in our class to welcome Fang Jingjing to our class for six months of intensive college entrance exam preparation."
Hearing the homeroom teacher's voice, Su Qianqian finally raised her head, but used her right hand to shield her face from Jiang Cuo's gaze.
When Su Qianqian looked up and saw Fang Jingjing standing on the podium, she felt a sense of familiarity.
She remembered that this morning, when the housekeeper took her to school, he told her that a strange girl had been loitering outside the villa for the past two days but had not come in. She had been caught on camera by the security cameras, so the housekeeper showed her the footage. Su Qianqian said that she did not know this person and that she should drive her away if she came to the villa again.
After all, Su Qianqian didn't know if the people in the surveillance footage were people the original owner had grudges against.
However, as long as it doesn't interfere with her performing system tasks, these people are irrelevant to her.
However, Su Qianqian remembered what her homeroom teacher had said before the fourth period ended.
It seems that Fang Jingjing has an unusual relationship with Jiang Cuo.
Su Qianqian suppressed her embarrassment and then looked carefully at Fang Jingjing on the podium.
This character was never mentioned in the original book.
It seems that after she transmigrated into the system world, she had too much contact with Jiang Cuo, which triggered these side quests that were not mentioned in the original book.
After all, the female lead has the most screen time in the original book, and Jiang Cuo is just a female villainous supporting character.
Su Qianqian had a hunch that Fang Jingjing was no pushover.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host, for successfully completing the daily random mini-task. The system has increased the host's reward.]
Jiang Cuo's aversion to the host has been completely reduced to zero. Please keep up the good work, host!
Su Qianqian had no time to care about Jiang Cuo's level of dislike for her; she just wanted to know what the relationship was between Jiang Cuo and Fang Jingjing on the podium.
Because the homeroom teacher said in the morning that Fang Jingjing and Jiang Cuo didn't get along, Jiang Cuo didn't refute it.
If it's an insignificant character, their name probably won't appear.
Moreover, it appeared on the surveillance footage of her villa.
There was no information about this person in the original owner's memories.
'Could you find me information about the girl on the podium?'
[Waste System: A friendly reminder to the host that the person in front of you is Fang Jingjing, who was Jiang Cuo's classmate in elementary and middle school.]
That's all?
Su Qianqian frowned.
In this world obsessed with romance, Fang Jingjing shouldn't have any roles given her appearance. Her skin is slightly yellow, and she's not particularly attractive; she'd easily be lost in a crowd.
Even if you don't get hooked on pretty girls, you'll definitely get hooked on someone who looks like this.
Unbeknownst to Su Qianqian herself, because Fang Jingjing and Jiang Cuo had become involved, she immediately viewed Fang Jingjing with prejudice and felt inexplicably displeased.
Jiang Cuo had no idea that Fang Jingjing would arrive at their school today. Although she had a vague idea that Fang Jingjing, despite ranking third in the school's exams, would still use some means to get to their school, Jiang Cuo did not expect it to be so soon.
Moreover, when the teacher was talking in the morning, her attention was focused on the love letter in Su Qianqian's hand.
It seems that the homeroom teacher mentioned that there have been some things going on at school recently, so the selection was not announced to the whole school. It is probably because Fang Jingjing is only third on the school's list, and the school only recruits students who are first on the list from other schools to prepare for the college entrance examination.
The welcoming ceremony was cancelled because the name was not legitimate, but fearing criticism, they had to go through the motions.
Neither of them paid any attention to Fang Jingjing's self-introduction.
After dragging their feet through this part, the students didn't even have time for lunch break before class was about to start. The teacher told Fang Jingjing to choose a seat herself, but unexpectedly, Fang Jingjing walked straight to Jiang Cuo's side and stared intently at the student behind him with her small eyes.
"Teacher, may I sit here? After all, Jiang Cuo is the only person I know here, and I'd like to sit closer to someone I'm familiar with."
The homeroom teacher was clearly a little surprised. She was just trying to be considerate of the new student's feelings. She thought Fang Jingjing would obediently walk to the empty seat, but unexpectedly she made a request. The homeroom teacher frowned slightly, thinking that Fang Jingjing was too tactless.
Jiang Cuo's deskmate behind him wore black-rimmed glasses. He had some different requirements for Fang Jingjing, but he remained seated, looking helpless and unsure of what to do.
The students were initially indifferent to the new transfer student, Fang Jingjing, but at this moment, her behavior became somewhat annoying.
She wanted to sit close to Jiang Cuo, but Jiang Cuo already had a deskmate, so why didn't she sit in Su Qianqian's seat?
But he bullied Jiang Cuo's classmate sitting behind him?
Isn't it just because Su Qianqian is rich and powerful? Isn't this bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Jiang Cuo's classmate behind him moved his lips, but still looked up at the homeroom teacher's expression and didn't say anything.
Su Lian sat in her seat, watching the show unfold.
She was happy to see Fang Jingjing, who loved to stir up trouble, and who had a good relationship with Jiang Cuo.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Fang Jingjing suddenly shifted her gaze to Su Qianqian next to Jiang Cuo: "Su Qianqian, could I sit there with you? This classmate seems to be in a difficult position, and he's wearing glasses, so he might not be able to see the blackboard clearly if he sits in the back. But you're not wearing glasses, and your eyesight seems pretty good. Can I sit there with you for a few days? Don't worry, I'll only sit there for a few days. Once I get to know the other students, I'll switch back with you. You won't refuse, will you?"
