Not long after, Lu Ziqing poked the dazed Liang Sheng and asked, “Hey… want to grab lunch together at noon? I’m only doing this out of pity for you!”
Eating together… that scene would be so awkward… Could she say no? But it didn’t seem like an option, with Lu Ziqing’s intense gaze fixed on Liang Sheng’s face.
“Okay… sure! I’m honored to have lunch with Young Miss!”
“Hmph! Such a smooth talker!”
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 9”
Lu Ziqing awkwardly turned her head away and said in a commanding tone, “My name is Lu Ziqing. Don’t call me Young Miss anymore. Just use my name from now on.”
Liang Sheng grinned. “As you wish! My Young Miss Ziqing.”
Dimples appeared on Liang Sheng’s cheeks—deep ones that made her look incredibly cute. Lu Ziqing sneaked a glance at her. One look was all it took; it felt like an arrow had pierced her heart. So… so cute!
“Ding!” Favorability rose sharply.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 23”
Whoa, no way! Am I really this charming? Favorability shot up that fast! Liang Sheng smugly tossed her head.
Before she could bask in her smugness, a female teacher with a smoking-hot figure appeared at the classroom door.
Her black pencil skirt hugged her hips tightly, while her form-fitting top accentuated her stunning curves. Her chest was even fuller than Young Miss Lu Ziqing’s, squeezed so firmly by the tight fabric that Liang Sheng worried it might burst free. She had long lashes and a sexy beauty mark beneath her left eye—a textbook mature beauty.
Liang Sheng’s mind raced. Right, the male lead’s fifth girlfriend was a teacher—his homeroom teacher, no less. And the male lead was in Class 1-B.
She squinted at the teacher, and sure enough, the info popped up.
“Name: Dong Yue
Age: 24
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 52 kg
Looks: S
Favorability Toward Su Ze: 0
Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 0″
Hmm. Liang Sheng wasn’t interested in girls more than five years older, no matter how pretty they were.
Still, she had to admire the male lead for landing such an upstanding socialist role model of a teacher. She wondered if dating a teacher felt the same as fooling around with a practice workbook.
Dong Yue stepped up to the lectern, rapped on the desk, and began introducing herself. Liang Sheng had stayed up late the night before analyzing the reasons for her transmigration, so her eyelids were growing heavy. Before long, she nodded off completely.
Tap-tap. The sound of knuckles on the desk rang out. “Classmate, wake up. How are you this sleepy on the first day of school?” A gentle, mature voice followed.
Liang Sheng looked up to find Homeroom Teacher Dong Yue standing right in front of her, smiling down. Liang Sheng returned an awkward but polite smile.
Whoosh~ Favorability dropped.
“Dong Yue’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: -1”
Oh no! She’d blown it! Sure, this favorability metric didn’t seem to trigger rewards or punishments, but Liang Sheng hated being disliked by anyone.
She stood up, bowed deeply to Dong Yue, and said, “Sorry, Teacher. I had insomnia last night and disrupted your lesson.”
Perhaps because of her sincere attitude, Dong Yue nodded in satisfaction.
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Dong Yue’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 3”
Phew, crisis averted! She’d salvaged it in time!
Dong Yue cleared her throat. “Ahem, no more sleeping in class from now on, got it? And take care of your health—insomnia isn’t something to ignore.” She paused before continuing, “Alright, let’s get back to the lesson~” She seemed to be in a good mood.
It made sense. In the story, this was Dong Yue’s first time teaching, so she must have relished the respect from her students. Liang Sheng smiled helplessly. Man, this teacher was like a kid sometimes.
At noon, Liang Sheng spotted Song An’an again, but something felt off. Why had her favorability toward Liang Sheng risen so quickly? At this rate, if Liang Sheng were the male lead, the story would’ve wrapped up in just a few chapters.
Song An’an came jogging over, but her expression darkened when she suddenly noticed Lu Ziqing behind Liang Sheng. Why was Liang Sheng walking so close to that woman? Was she going to abandon her like Su Ze had?
She plastered on a smile, sidled up to Liang Sheng, and hooked her left arm. “A-Sheng, how’s your first day of school going? It’s such a shame we didn’t end up in the same class!” It was a clear declaration of territory.
Lu Ziqing scoffed. She didn’t respond to Song An’an verbally, but her hand clamped onto Liang Sheng’s right arm—gripping so hard it hurt.
What kind of Shura Field was this? For the first time, having girls fight over her felt kinda nice… if only these two young misses would stop squeezing her arms to death…
Song An’an shot Lu Ziqing an annoyed glare and said to Liang Sheng in a saccharine voice, “A-Sheng, I made lunch today. Let’s eat together!”
Lu Ziqing glared right back and told Liang Sheng in an imperious tone, “Liang Sheng, come with me. I’ll treat you to a fancy meal. Order whatever you want—nothing’s off-limits, even if it costs ten grand!”
What? Ten grand? Was this a meal or a money pit? Liang Sheng marveled inwardly.
Lu Ziqing wasn’t desperately inviting Liang Sheng to lunch out of affection. She just couldn’t stand Song An’an, who was always mooning over and cozying up to her beloved Su Ze.
Su Ze was the son of Lu Ziqing’s family driver. Her father was the mayor of another city and had leveraged her crush on Su Ze to get the boy into this Noble Academy under the pretense of looking after the young miss.
Liang Sheng couldn’t fathom why a goddess like Lu Ziqing—with her wealth, looks, and status—would fall for a poor kid. Probably… because of love?
Before Liang Sheng could dwell on it, the Shura Field atmosphere grew even tenser. As she racked her brain for a way to defuse things, the male lead Su Ze emerged from the classroom.
“Miss Ziqing, what’s up? Not heading to lunch?”
“Su Ze! I want Liang Sheng to eat with us!” Lu Ziqing replied in a dissatisfied tone, sounding both petulant and pleading.
Su Ze gave Liang Sheng a puzzled look before answering offhandedly—and very straight-guy-like—”Then just go. What’s the big deal?”
Ugh… was he always this dense? Liang Sheng was torn between laughter and tears.
Enraged, Lu Ziqing stomped her foot, shoved Su Ze, and ran off crying. Su Ze stood there, stunned.
Song An’an released Liang Sheng’s arm and approached Su Ze. “Classmate Su Ze, are you okay?” He smiled and said, “I’m fine.” Her face flushed red again.
Watching the two lovebirds made Liang Sheng inwardly curse Song An’an for being such a pushover. Then she turned and chased after the young miss.
As expected of a pampered young miss—delicate as fine porcelain—Lu Ziqing ran at a snail’s pace. Liang Sheng caught up to her by the flower beds in a few strides and grabbed her arm.
Whoosh~ Favorability dropped.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Su Ze: 100+”
No way—it dropped and it’s still over 100? Lu Ziqing must really like Su Ze.
Liang Sheng patted Lu Ziqing’s shoulder, about to offer comfort, when the tsundere young miss threw her arms around her. No way… the young miss was hugging her and crying! Liang Sheng’s emotions grew complicated.
She hugged Lu Ziqing back and soothed her verbally. “Our Young Miss Ziqing is the number one beauty at Noble Academy! Su Ze must be blind!”
“It’s not true! Su Ze… Su Ze’s a good man,” Lu Ziqing protested.
Speechless… Liang Sheng felt like her good intentions had been mistaken for malice, but what could she do? With a delicate beauty weeping prettily in her arms, who could resist? She patiently kept coaxing her.
“Alright, alright… Su Ze’s just a dense guy. He definitely likes our young miss—he’s too stubborn to admit it.”
“R-Really?” The young miss in her arms looked up, eyes brimming with tears and a misty haze, her red-rimmed sockets giving her a pitifully adorable look like she’d been bullied.
“Really, really!” Gazing at such a cute young miss, Liang Sheng was utterly smitten. What an otherworldly beauty!
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 28”
Unable to hold back, Liang Sheng ruffled Lu Ziqing’s long brown hair. The pitiful young miss froze. No one outside her family had ever touched her head before!
“You…” Before she could snap, Liang Sheng quickly added, “Ziqing, you’re so cute!”
In a flash, the young miss’s face turned beet red.
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Lu Ziqing’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 33”
The young miss huffed, pretended to be indifferent, and stalked off—or rather, fled in embarrassment.
Liang Sheng shrugged helplessly and followed the flustered young miss back to the classroom at a leisurely pace.
The afternoon flew by. After school, Liang Sheng waited at the gates for Song An’an. Soon enough, Song An’an appeared, and Liang Sheng grinned happily. Transmigration wasn’t so bad—beauties everywhere she went.
As Song An’an drew near, Liang Sheng narrowed her eyes. Something was wrong. Song An’an’s info showed:
“Favorability Toward Su Ze: 98
Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 70″
Wait, her favorability toward Liang Sheng had dropped? While it skyrocketed for the male lead?
Liang Sheng was annoyed. No way—I went out of my way to cheer you up and be nice, and it still can’t beat Su Ze’s bland “hello” and “goodbye”? And at lunch, she’d given the meal meant for Liang Sheng to that big scumbag Su Ze instead. When Liang Sheng got back, she’d apologized with a surprised and guilty look, claiming she’d forgotten—then hand-fed the male lead!
Fuming, Liang Sheng turned and stormed off without a word to Song An’an. That see-one-forget-friend little lass!
Song An’an had been beaming at the sight of Liang Sheng, but as she got close, she watched in confusion as Liang Sheng’s face darkened and she walked away. What happened? Song An’an stood frozen for a long time before leaving, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Lu Ziqing happened to pass by and “pfft”—she burst out laughing. As she brushed past Song An’an, she said coldly, “Serves you right.”
In high spirits, the young miss dragged Su Ze along, humming a tune as she left Song An’an sniffling alone. Su Ze kept glancing back at her, tempted to pull away and comfort her.
The young miss shot him an irritated glare. “That’s girl stuff. What’s a boy like you doing getting involved?” With that, she bundled him into the family car.
Meanwhile, as Liang Sheng stomped along in a huff, she suddenly spotted the fairy senior sister from that morning right ahead. Taking three steps at a time, she grabbed her bag and bolted.
“Hey~ what a coincidence, Senior Sister!” Overexcited, Liang Sheng’s voice came out a bit off-key.
Gu Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then the corner of her lips curved into a perfect arc. “It’s that cute little junior sister from this morning~”
Aaaah! The fairy struck my heart again! Liang Sheng almost drooled once more.
Liang Sheng laughed with starry-eyed infatuation. “Senior sister, you’re truly my great fairy! I just thought of you and poof—you appeared!”
Gu Yuqi burst into laughter once again. What kind of divine junior sister is this? Who could resist her silly, adorable charm?
Liang Sheng also giggled foolishly along with Gu Yuqi, thinking to herself: If only senior sister were male…
