Chapter 58: Chapter 58: The Disturbance of Withered Leaves

Friday’s first lesson was physical education. Zhen Yu came to school after lunch and was immediately stopped by Liu Ting on the sports field.

She insisted that they were one person short for jumping rope and asked Zhen Yu to join them.

Being essentially an adult at heart, Zhen Yu would usually firmly refuse such activities.

That day, Liu Ting used the PE class as an excuse, and after much persuasion, she managed to get Zhen Yu to agree to help stretch the jump rope, essentially standing still like a post.

Zhen Yu was used as this ’post’ right up until the class bell rang, truly exemplifying ’make the most out of something’.

-

A boring PE class, of course, that’s from Zhen Yu’s point of view.

For the other classmates, it was one of the few outdoor activities of the week, and they were all very excited.

When class finally ended, Zhen Yu felt as if every pore on her face was about to be clogged with dirt and dust.

She went to the Water Room to wash her hands and face first before slowly returning to the classroom.

Most of the students were already seated. After sitting down, Zhen Yu reached out to grab her backpack.

"Rustle~ Rustle~"

As soon as her hand slid in, Zhen Yu realized something felt wrong. She calmly pulled her hand out, bent down, and looked inside.

Her backpack was so filled with dirt and dry leaves that it was unrecognizable, the sound just now was because her palm had touched the dry leaves.

Zhen Yu’s face turned icy in an instant, she straightened up and her piercing gaze shot towards Mou Jingjing and Wu Qiong’s seats.

So far, the only two girls in the class who didn’t get along with her were them.

The two were sneakily paying attention to Zhen Yu’s situation when they suddenly met her gaze, both startled and then quickly turned their heads away, looking guilty.

Zhen Yu hooked one finger around the strap of her backpack and yanked it out from the desk.

A choking cloud of dirt filled the air, shrouding the space in front of Zhen Yu.

"What are you doing?!" Qian Duoduo, choked by the dust, turned her head and demanded in a low voice, startled when she saw the leaves falling out of the backpack.

Frowning, she asked, "What are you collecting so many leaves for?"

"To give to you," replied Zhen Yu, her expression unchanged.

"Psycho," Qian Duoduo glared at her irritably, "I don’t want them!"

Zhen Yu stood up, tossing her backpack onto the chair, kicking up another cloud of dust.

"Zhen Yu!" Qian Duoduo bristled.

-

Zhen Yu emptied all the books from her backpack onto Fu Yu’s desk and called him over, "Come and prop up the bag."

"Oh, oh!" Fu Yu hurriedly agreed, standing up to take and prop up the empty backpack.

Zhen Yu tilted her desk, dumping everything from the desk cavity into the backpack, closed it, and walked over to the first row, by the class president Qiao Xian’s seat.

Sitting at the double desk across the aisle from him were Wu Qiong and Mou Jingjing.

As soon as Zhen Yu stood beside them, both opened their mouths simultaneously.

"What are you going to do, Zhen Yu?" Mou Jingjing’s accusation was anxious and breathless.

Compared to her, Wu Qiong seemed more confident, "Don’t mess around, Zhen Yu!"

Zhen Yu acted as if their words were air, opening the slanted strap of her fabric backpack under the gaze of the entire class.

"Whoosh!"

A whole bagful of dirt and dry leaves was scattered by Zhen Yu all over the heads and faces of the two.

"Ah!" Mou Jingjing screamed before sitting in silence with a head full of dry leaves, looking at Zhen Yu.

"Zhen Yu!" Wu Qiong suddenly screamed and stood up, "Are you crazy?"

"Got it from you," Zhen Yu responded, while forcefully stuffing the backpack into her arms.

The entire class: "..."

Disgusted, Wu Qiong flung Zhen Yu’s backpack aside and questioned, "What right do you have to splash us?"

"Ever heard of Songkran? This is a blessing of love."

The entire class: "... Can’t you come up with something better than that nonsense?"

-

Wu Qiong was about to explode with anger, pointing at Zhen Yu she said, "I’m going to tell the teacher! You’re bullying!"

Zhen Yu quickly grabbed her pointing finger, a thrill of satisfaction in her heart.

I just love it when people point their fingers at me. If you don’t extend your claws, how can I retaliate?

"Ah~~~" Wu Qiong’s scream overlapped with Qiao Xian’s attempts to break up the fight.

"Zhen Yu, class is about to start, go back to your seat first."

Zhen Yu found a moment to turn her head and said to the class monitor, "In a second."

Then turned back to Wu Qiong, "Do you like this game? There’s more to come~"

"Let me go!"

"I’ll let go, but you have to wash my backpack clean!"

"Why should I wash it!" Wu Qiong questioned with an insufficiently confident tone.

Zhen Yu’s voice was calm and moderate, not too loud or too quiet. Most of the classmates in the quiet room could hear her, "Everyone knows what’s going on."

Everyone: "..."

What do we know? We know nothing at all!

Just as Wu Qiong’s expression was about to change and she wanted to speak, "Ring~~", the class bell rang.

The moment Wu Qiong heard the bell, she suddenly pursed her lips, remaining silent.

A hint of mockery flashed in Zhen Yu’s eyes.

Thinking that just because class has started I would go back to my seat? Keep dreaming!

Thinking that I have to let go because the teacher is coming? Daydreaming!

-

Wu Qiong kept quiet, so Zhen Yu continued to twist even harder.

"Ah~ Class monitor, save me~" Wu Qiong kept screaming.

The class monitor, Qiao Xian, had no choice but to continue persuading Zhen Yu.

He tried to persuade her once, and Zhen Yu would respond with "Okay!" each time.

But while her mouth agreed, her actions didn’t change at all.

Being a girl, Qiao Xian couldn’t step in and pull them apart; he could only stand there, completely helpless.

In the midst of this chaos, Teacher Qian walked into the classroom.

Upon entering, the first thing Teacher Qian noticed was the two girls and one boy at the front of the class—didn’t they hear the bell for class to start?

The second thought—what’s going on here? Is Zhen Yu being bullied again?

The third thought didn’t have a chance to form before it was interrupted by Wu Qiong’s scream.

"Teacher!!! Zhen Yu is bullying me!"

Teacher Qian recoiled in disgust and asked Zhen Yu without asking Qiao Xian, "Zhen Yu~ did you bully Wu Qiong?"

Zhen Yu turned to look at Teacher Qian and said, "No! She snatched my backpack and is pulling me, not letting me go!"

As she spoke, Zhen Yu tugged at Wu Qiong’s hand, gave it a light shake in front of Teacher Qian, and quickly pulled it back under the desk.

Wu Qiong exploded on the spot with rage.

Furiously, she shouted, "You’re lying! The whole class can testify that it was you who threw the backpack to me!"

Entire class: "..."

Zhen Yu quickly retorted, "Why would I give you my backpack?"

"Because you made me wash it!"

Zhen Yu instantly replied, "Why would I make you wash it?"

Wu Qiong answered impulsively in the rapid Q&A: "Because I dirtied it!"

Entire class AND Teacher Qian: "..."

Wu Qiong’s face turned purple, and the classroom was eerily quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

A few seconds later, Zhen Yu asked slowly, "So, will you wash it or not?"

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Wu Qiong couldn’t resist even for a second and whispered, "I’ll wash it."

Teacher Qian nodded, thinking it was all settled, only for Zhen Yu to suddenly ask, "Mou Jingjing, which of you two is the mastermind?"

"Her!" Mou Jingjing answered instantly.

There we have it! A confession without being coerced...

"The two of you sitting at the same desk is the perfect match," Zhen Yu dropped the comment and turned to return to her seat.
