After saying goodbye to his senior, Su Cheng came to the classroom alone. At that moment, the students in the room were gathered in separate groups of boys and girls, discussing something.
A group of girls stood by the window,
While a group of boys gathered near the back blackboard.
The class cliques had already formed, and without a doubt, they had all become part of the "in-crowd."
As soon as he walked into the classroom, it suddenly fell silent. In an instant, every single person's gaze turned towards him.
The girls' expressions were very rich - disgust, contempt, dislike, and various other emotions all appeared on their faces. But the predominant expression was one of anger...
Why am I being treated as an enemy by all the girls in the class?
Su Cheng felt rather perplexed and couldn't help but frown.
He hadn't had any interaction with the girls in the class, and had barely even spoken a few words to them. Why were these girls looking at him with such hostility?
This made Su Cheng feel very strange.
Moreover, from the anger on these girls' faces, Su Cheng seemed to sense that they harbored some inexplicable resentment towards him.
"So... what's with those looks you're giving me?"
A hint of anger rose in Su Cheng's heart. He felt as if he was being bullied by this group of girls. Their stares made him uncomfortable - it would have been better if they had simply ignored him.
"What do you think? You have the nerve to get angry after threatening a classmate?!"
At this moment, a pretty girl with blonde hair and a curvaceous figure stood up and accused him.
She was the class Discipline Committee Member.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear. One could tell she was extremely angry, so her tone was very harsh, as if Su Cheng had committed some terrible crime.
"That's right, you're way out of line!"
At this point, another girl - petite with bangs and fair skin - stood up and chimed in. She also glared at Su Cheng as if she were the victim.
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
He understood that Cornelia must have spread the news about him threatening her yesterday, which was why these girls were so angry.
He hadn't expected this tsundere to learn how to strike first.
Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
"I see," he nodded, not arguing back because what they said was true. He had nothing to say and could only silently walk to his seat and sit down.
"We'll report this to the Student Council this afternoon and ask them to deal with it!" the Discipline Committee Member continued when she saw Su Cheng wasn't arguing back.
"Someone like you doesn't deserve to study at this academy!"
"I feel sick just being in the same class as you. Don't you have any shame?" the petite girl spoke again, her eyes full of disdain.
"Give him a chance. He must have been joking!"
At this point, Eddie walked out from the group of boys and approached the Discipline Committee Member and the petite girl, trying to mediate.
"Is Su Cheng the type of person who jokes like that?!"
"He's simply a madman!"
Both girls were furious, even directly calling out his name.
"Please, I beg you, give him a chance!" Eddie pleaded very sincerely, looking quite genuine.
But in reality, he was begging for himself, since he was the one who had done everything. Especially the water incident yesterday afternoon - if the Student Council were to investigate, the truth would definitely come out.
"Enough!"
Su Cheng suddenly interrupted Eddie, then said coldly, "You're not my friend, and this has nothing to do with you. Stop pretending to care, it's disgusting!"
"Ring ring ring—"
The bell for class suddenly rang out. The classroom fell silent as the lesson began, but the atmosphere remained tense, with everyone casting looks of disgust at him.
The Student Council president could even stand on equal footing with the school principal, and could easily expel a student.
With his egregious behavior, he would only be dealt with by expulsion.
Just yesterday he had been praised as an excellent youth by the police uncle, but the next day he had become a rat that everyone wanted to beat up.
This contrast was quite painful.
There was nothing he could do. He had brought this upon himself with his own loose tongue, so he could only bear the consequences.
Soon, it was time for the midday break.
He stood up and walked out of the classroom with an expressionless face. He didn't want to wait to be expelled; he wanted to walk out of the school gates on his own.
However, as he passed by the stairs to the rooftop, he suddenly stopped in his tracks because he heard the sound of a girl crying.
Without any hesitation, he walked towards the rooftop, then quietly opened the door a crack. He saw a girl crying while hunched over a chair.
It was the Disciplinary Committee Member from before. He hadn't expected that she wouldn't even eat lunch today.
Probably because the friends she used to eat with had distanced themselves from her...
Thinking of this, Su Cheng sighed. She had given him an attribute point and hadn't sought any revenge.
So he decided to help her. He began frantically searching his mind for encouraging chicken soup for the soul phrases he had read in his past life.
"Come on! You've got this?"
No, that won't work!
"If someone needs encouragement, I'd smile and say: I'm rooting for you!"
What kind of nonsense is this!
"Forget it, I'll write an encouraging letter before I leave."
In the end, he sighed and took out his phone to contact Liu Qingyue, since she was also a second-year student.
"Senior, do you know Hoshino Mirai?"
Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Liu Qingyue, who was eating with her friends, suddenly felt her phone vibrate.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it, seeing that it was a message from Su Cheng. Her heart skipped a beat, as this was the first time Su Cheng had contacted her. She hurriedly replied, "Yes, I know her. Is she the one you're confessing to today, junior?"
"Her class and seat number, please tell me."
"Class 3, second year, second row, third seat."
"Thank you."
Seeing his urgency, Liu Qingyue immediately sensed something was off. Could it be that he was going to leave a love letter this time?
Thinking this, she quickly excused herself from her friends and hurried out of the cafeteria towards the classroom.
However, when she arrived at the classroom, she didn't see Su Cheng. She frowned slightly.
Had he already left?
She walked directly to the second row, third seat, and looked carefully. Sure enough, she found a white envelope placed in the desk drawer, along with a bottle of milk and some bread beside it.
Liu Qingyue looked around, and after making sure no one was there, she took out the letter and began to read it.
………
I've seen all your hard work,
And it's because of you that our school is so beautiful.
(ง•̀_•́)ง Keep it up!
The bread and milk are your lunch for today.
Don't forget to eat next time!
……………
"It's not a love letter, and there's not even a signature..." Liu Qingyue muttered to herself as she carefully examined both sides of the envelope.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside the door. She quickly restored the envelope to its original state and swiftly hid behind the door.
Soon, she saw Hoshino Mirai run in with a red face, wiping tears as she walked.
"I see..."
Seeing this scene, the clever Liu Qingyue immediately understood.
"Huh?"
Hoshino Mirai walked to the desk and saw a bottle of milk and bread placed in the drawer. She asked in confusion, "Where did these come from?"
"There's also a letter..."
Hoshino Mirai saw the note and curiously opened it. She was immediately stunned, and then her face was filled with happiness and joy.
"What's wrong? Did someone write you a love letter?"
At this point, Liu Qingyue walked out from behind the door. Seeing Hoshino Mirai standing there holding the note with a dazed expression, she asked, pretending not to know.
"Look, look!"
Hoshino Mirai held the envelope with both hands, then hurriedly ran over and handed the letter to Liu Qingyue, exclaiming excitedly.
"Someone put this in my drawer!!"
"Wow, congratulations! Keep up the good work!"
Liu Qingyue looked at it and then handed it back to her.
"I'm so happy... I'm really so happy!"
She took back the letter and held it to her chest, tears of happiness flowing from the corners of her eyes, as if all the pain she had experienced before had been healed.
"To think that someone has been quietly watching over me..."
"Even though it's just such a small thing, I feel like I've been saved."
…………………………
"He claims to dislike people who are kind to everyone, yet he himself is kind to everyone."
Liu Qingyue stood on the rooftop, watching the familiar figure on the ground below, and murmured to herself: "What a hypocrite."
The next moment
Liu Qingyue looked at Su Cheng on the ground, only to discover that Su Cheng was climbing over the wall. She couldn't help but marvel, "As expected of a male protagonist in a web novel, he's so self-disciplined."
While everyone else was eating, he alone was exercising his body.
"Wait a minute... Why is he climbing over the wall to leave the school grounds!?"
