"Hey, Ache, why are you so distracted early in the morning? Did you fall for the girl in the neighboring class?"
Luo Che came to the classroom early today. Sitting at his desk, his gaze would occasionally linger on the corner of the classroom.
Facing his classmate's teasing, he immediately widened his eyes and shouted, "Bullshit!"
At this moment, his mind was full of Bai Yuyou's beautiful face beneath her bangs from yesterday. Luo Che had been thinking about it all night after going home, even nearly losing sleep.
"Stinky girl ... No, Bai Yuyue is actually so beautiful? Am I the first one to realize it?" Luo Che was thinking in his heart at this moment, but he had a sense of surprise that was like winning the lottery.
Moreover, she had thanked him yesterday, which meant he must have made a good impression on her.
"If I can help her more, maybe I can tap into this promising prospect." Luo Che thought, perhaps too excited, causing his legs to tremble incessantly.
Such a beautiful girl...
But she was the "smelly girl." If he really got together with her, would other classmates gossip about him?
While he was lost in thought, a faint fragrance of flowers drifted by— a figure slowly walked to the corner of the classroom and sat down.
"Is... is that the smelly girl?"
"What's going on?!"
By now, half of the class had arrived. When they saw Bai Yuyou sitting in the corner, they all froze in astonishment, as if they had discovered something incredible.
The girl sat quietly, no longer with her head bowed. Her eyes beneath the straight bangs were serene, as beautiful as gemstones— her clothes were also clean and tidy, utterly different from her former appearance.
"Holy shit?! How... how is she this pretty?!" Some boys instantly cursed, their eyes almost unable to move away from Bai Yuyou, practically mesmerized.
Some girls began whispering, seemingly completely unaware of what had happened to the "smelly girl."
Bai Yuyou paid no attention to the reactions of her classmates. She took out a small notebook from the pocket of her pleated skirt, which Ye Shuang had given her that morning.
She opened the first page—
There were lines of writing:
1.Raise your head and look people in the eye when communicating.
2.When you don't want to do something, firmly refuse (e.g., "No, I won't do it/go.").
3.Forbid saying "sorry."
4.When conflicts arise, state your thoughts and look the other person in the eye.
5.If you need to use the restroom, go to the one at the end of the corridor next to the teacher's office.
6.If you encounter something you can't solve, call me.
7.Don't feel inferior; you're more beautiful than anyone else.
8.Ignore verbal attacks.
9.Don't let others touch your body.
10.To be added.
(Good behavior will be rewarded with a choice of a bath or sleepover service.)
Bai Yuyou silently memorized the contents and put the notebook away. Naturally, she felt the gazes of her classmates.
But... it seemed different from before.
Bai Yuyou didn't understand. She just needed to follow Ye Shuang's instructions. Moreover—
She took out a white meal card from her pocket.
From today on, she could eat in the cafeteria.
"Damn it, did you not clean yesterday?!" A furious shout suddenly rang out in the classroom. Bai Yuyou turned to look.
Wu Ya stormed over and kicked Bai Yuyou's desk hard. Amid the loud rattling, Wu Ya was about to speak but froze.
Because the person in front of her seemed completely different from the one in her memory.
"Who are you?" Wu Ya asked immediately, thinking it wasn't the "smelly girl."
"Bai Yuyou."
"Who's Bai Yuyou? A new transfer student?" Wu Ya felt the name was familiar, then suddenly realized that the girl in her memory was starting to overlap with the beautiful girl before her.
How had she changed so much?
What had happened?
"Hmph, did you get plastic surgery?" Wu Ya felt a surge of jealousy at Bai Yuyou's beautiful face. "Didn't I tell you to clean the classroom yesterday?!"
In contrast to Wu Ya's fury, Bai Yuyou remained calm and simply asked unhurriedly,
"Why should I do it?"
Wu Ya was taken aback by the retort. This person... dared to talk back?
Even under Bai Yuyou's steady gaze, Wu Ya suddenly felt uneasy.
The atmosphere grew awkward. For some reason, the students who had always backed Wu Ya remained silent, just watching the scene unfold.
"Damn you." Wu Ya couldn't stand the sudden change and reached out to push Bai Yuyou.
But Bai Yuyou remembered Ye Shuang's note: Don't let others touch your body.
She sidestepped slightly, and Wu Ya made a lunge, losing her center of gravity and falling solidly!
"Ah..."
Bai Yuyou just looked at her, expressionless. The cold, condescending gaze made Wu Ya feel an indescribable discomfort.
"Alright, everyone stop arguing." At this moment, Luo Che stood up and walked over to mediate. "The teacher is coming."
Seeing this, other boys also walked over.
Some girls helped Wu Ya back to her seat, while the boys concerned themselves with Bai Yuyou. "Are you okay?"
"Did Wu Ya hurt you just now?"
The boys who had previously been indifferent to Bai Yuyou now seemed like caring big brothers, asking if she was alright.
But it was obvious to everyone that only Wu Ya had fallen hard, while Bai Yuyou was unharmed.
Facing everyone's concern, Bai Yuyou felt an indescribable awkwardness— why did only Ye Shuang's concern make her feel comfortable?
Bai Yuyou couldn't quite figure it out yet.
Just then, the class bell rang.
The homeroom teacher walked in with a displeased expression. After telling everyone to return to their seats, he slammed the desk. "Who was on duty yesterday? Why were all the hygiene points deducted?!"
The classroom was deathly silent.
The next moment, Wu Ya immediately shouted, "It's all Bai Yuyou's fault!"
The homeroom teacher turned to look at the corner, only to be slightly startled. The girl there was no longer the one who always kept her head down. For a moment, the teacher thought he was mistaken.
Still, he frowned and said, "Bai Yuyou, stand up!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuyou slowly stood up.
"Why didn't you clean? How many times do I have to tell you to make my life easier?! How can you be worse than a child at your age?!"
Wu Ya secretly rejoiced at the scene.
Seeing Bai Yuyou silent, the teacher continued, "I need a reasonable explanation from you!"
At this point, Bai Yuyou spoke,
"Why didn't I clean..."
No longer bowing her head to apologize, the girl looked the teacher in the eye and directly stated her thoughts,
"Because, I wasn't on duty yesterday."
The teacher immediately retorted, "Not being on duty isn't an excuse. Even if..."
Suddenly, his voice trailed off.
Hmm?
You weren't on duty yesterday?
The teacher's expression instantly froze in embarrassment.
