Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Settle Personal Scores

Bai Xue also followed suit: "Me too! Xiao Yu." "Dream on! It would already be great if you could just finish your own tasks!" Fu Yu ruthlessly mocked his cousin, infuriating Bai Xue who then made lots of gestures at him in anger.

Zhen Yuxin felt warm inside and happily agreed, "Alright then! Looks like you guys will have to work hard this year!"

How fortunate she was to have these friends in this life! She would never be alone like in her previous life, spending half her life in solitude.

This time, she would never lose contact with her friends, no matter how far the distance might be.

The next day, just like the day before, Zhen Yu stood in the queue of Class 3-1 and followed everyone to the plot reserved for their class.

None of the classmates felt anything amiss, after all Zhen Yu had just joined this class, and they didn’t have much sentimental attachment to her yet.

But! When Teacher Jiang was halfway through dividing the plots and saw Zhen Yu a few students away, his face darkened instantly.

He glanced behind Zhen Yu and waved at Shen Qi, who wasn’t far from her, "Class monitor! Come here!"

Shen Qi appeared quite composed on the surface. She stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, did you need me?"

"Ha!" Teacher Jiang was a match for Cao Yong; just by hearing him laugh, you could tell.

He didn’t rush to speak, instead, he stared intently into Shen Qi’s eyes. Shen Qi didn’t last a few seconds before she couldn’t hold it anymore and lowered her head, unable to meet Teacher Jiang’s eyes any longer.

Only then did Teacher Jiang warmly say, "Didn’t I tell you yesterday when you brought the homework to the office? To pass the message to Zhen Yu to rest at home."

"Ah? Oh no! Teacher, I got caught up with other things and totally forgot! Should I send her back now?" Shen Qi’s acting was terribly exaggerated; Zhen Yu could only give her a negative score!

It made her almost cringe from embarrassment! But she still had to play along for a while.

"No need, Teacher! I’m already here, I should share the hardships with everyone! Just allocate the plots as you normally would, I’ll figure out a way to manage."

Hearing this, Teacher Jiang looked towards Zhen Yu, his doubtful gaze seemed to ask: "Can you handle it?"

Zhen Yu, with her back to her classmates, winked at him, signaling: "Go ahead! No worries!"

Teacher Jiang had observed Zhen Yu several times in the office and had a rough understanding of her; he knew this girl wouldn’t fight a battle she wasn’t confident in.

Seeing that students, whether already allocated plots or not, were all paying attention to this area, he raised his voice a bit and continued, "Alright then! Let’s continue dividing."

Shen Qi, thinking no one would notice, kept her head down and couldn’t help feeling secretly thrilled.

Little did she know that the curve of her lips had already betrayed her; not only Teacher Jiang and Zhen Yu had noticed, but also the girl about to be allotted a plot saw it too, yet no one spoke up.

After adjusting her facial expression, Shen Qi then raised her head and said, "Well, Teacher, I’ll go back to the queue now."

"Go ahead." Teacher Jiang still wore an amiable smile, seemingly without the intention to punish her.

But Zhen Yu could distinctly feel that Teacher Jiang’s smile was chillingly cold, the warmth obviously not reaching his eyes.

It looks like someone’s in trouble! She dared to defy even Teacher Jiang’s orders; quite daring indeed!

However, this wasn’t her problem; she just wanted to quietly enjoy the show.

—

Some students started working as soon as they were assigned plots, while others waited for the homeroom teacher to announce the start.

Han Mingyue had been keeping an eye on Zhen Yu, and although he was too far away to hear the conversation between the three, from the moment Teacher Jiang called Shen Qi over, he sensed that something was off.

As soon as Teacher Jiang finished assigning Zhen Yu’s plot, Han Mingyue immediately walked over.

"What happened just now?"

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and shrugged, "Teacher Jiang originally wanted me to take a break, but the class monitor, being a busy person, ’forgot’!"

"...I have water and snacks in my bag; you can sit under the shade. I’ll start on your plot." Han Mingyue handed his backpack to Zhen Yu and pointed toward a few Dayang trees not far off.

There was no one around at the time, only drinking water barrels from a few neighboring classes placed there.

Zhen Yu chuckled lightly and took his backpack with ease, "Okay! Take your time, no rush."

After she spoke, she tried to walk away, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Han Mingyue. He glanced at the bag she was holding in her other hand and asked, "Did you bring a cushion?"

"Mm." Zhen Yu slightly nodded, "Yes, I brought one. I also brought water."

Only then did Han Mingyue let go of her, "Then go ahead! I am going to start working now."

"Okay."

Han Mingyue watched Zhen Yu until she took out her cushion, sat down cross-legged under the tree, and then he turned around and began to work.

——

The girls nearby were always openly or secretly watching the two, and now seeing Han Mingyue directly start cutting the grass for Zhen Yu, they couldn’t help but explode with anger.

Han Mingyue was good at studies and handsome, making him the crush of many girls in the ninth-grade class.

Now, he was blatantly showing favor to a girl in front of the teacher, and they even held hands!!!

Although it was just the wrist, that was still intimate contact, right!?

Usually in school, even if a boy and a girl got a little close while discussing a question, they would be gossiped about for a week!

And this! This was simply... breaking numerous girls’ hearts!

——

The girls formed groups of two or three, peeking around and talking while cutting.

"What do you think the relationship between Han Mingyue and that grade-skipping student is?"

"It definitely can’t be that kind of relationship! Otherwise, would Teacher Jiang just ignore it?"

"That’s not necessarily true! Teacher Jiang might not have seen it just now!"

"If it is that kind of relationship, then Han Mingyue is really bold! To dare to do this in school..."

——

"Oh my god! Han Mingyue actually likes someone! My heart..."

"Give it a rest! You are too fake! If you really liked him, would you still have the mind to gossip? Just look at that girl!"

"Oh shoot! Her face is almost twisted into a pretzel! She’s really making it known to the whole class..."

"Known by everyone, so what? Han Mingyue doesn’t like her! No matter how much she fusses, it’s all in vain."

——

"Did you hear what Teacher Jiang said just now?"

"What did Teacher Jiang say?"

"She said to let the class monitor notify Zhen Yu to rest today, but the class monitor said she forgot! Tsk! Who would believe that... I was just wondering why she suddenly targeted a grade-skipping student, now it’s clear!"

"Oh~~~~~ Did she know well before that Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu had a special relationship? Does this count as using her power for personal grudge then?"

"Definitely! If she wasn’t harboring bad intentions, why would she set someone up? Weren’t you listening at the meeting that day, Zhen Yu had a head injury and was lying at home for a week, a whole week..."

"That injury must have been serious! No wonder Han Mingyue helped her cut the grass today! Sigh, what is the relationship between these two people?!"

"How could I possibly know! But surely, they’re really close! I have a feeling that our class is going to be lively..."

"Hehehe... Looks like there will be a show to watch..."
