Li Yue was telling the truth. "I’m sorry, miss…… I don’t think I’ve ever been introduced to you before." She added. "Why are you apologizing to someone you don’t know?" She had never talked to this woman. Why would she apologize out of the blue?

  "I— I thought……" Li Weiwei stammered. Li Yue immediately took the opportunity of her dazed state to leave. She nonchalantly walked past her. "Li Yue!" Li Weiwei called out, causing Li Yue to halt in her steps.

  "Is there anything else?"

  "I— I just— "

  "So there’s none." Without waiting for the female lead to respond, Li Yue steadily walked towards their lecture room. There is no need to retaliate against this sort of petty behavior. ’Hey robot’ she called out after taking her seat.

  ’My name is not robot.’


  ’I am not allowed to kill the female lead, yes?’


  ’Yes.’


  ’But…… can I hurt them?’ Silence.

  ’I believe that’s a yes?’ a small grin bloomed on her face as she raised the question.

  Silence.

  Li Yue laughed. So…… she could hurt the female lead, but not kill her.

  After a few minutes, the class finally started and Li Yue pretended that the encounter earlier never happened. However, just as she was about to leave the school, the male lead Xia Jin approached her and asked her if they could talk. Li Yue reluctantly nodded. "What is it?" she asked.

  Xia Jin hesitated for a few moments. "While I appreciate the fact that you’ve been really understanding about all that had happened recently, I don’t think it’s proper for you to treat Li Weiwei like that."

  Ha?"

  Xia Jin must have had expected the confusion that she felt inside. He explained. "I think it would be best for you to stay away from Li Weiwei from now on. It’s better than embarrassing her in front of everyone like that."

  "Ah!" She pursed her lips. So, it was about the incident earlier. "Did I do something wrong?" As she expected, Xia Jin’s lips thinned as he gave her a stern look.

  "You embarrassed her in front of everyone."

  "I didn’t." She said. "She was the one who approached me. Prior to this, I have never met her. Was it wrong for me to say the truth?" Xia Jin shook his head in response.

  "She had been crying since noon."

  "And? How’s that supposed to be my fault?"

  "Li Yue! How could you be so heartless? She had spent her life in the mountains, she has no friends here or someone that she could trust. Maybe she just wanted to talk and smooth things out with you. Maybe she wanted to develop a good relationship, to become friends with you. But you— You embarrassed her in front of that many people! Now, everyone must have thought that she approached you to — "Realizing that he had said too much, Xia Jin quickly sealed his lips. His brows knitted. "I’ve known you for a long time. I know…… how petty you are."

  "You know…… Xia Jin?" Li Yue made a deliberate pause. "We’ve just broken up a few days ago. And yet…… here you are…… accusing me of hurting the person— "she let out a long sigh. This is just like the original Li Yue. Dramatic, petty and prideful. "It’s alright, I understand. It was my fault. That was my fault. Everything is." She turned to her back and rolled her eyes, frustrated at the fact that she could not physically hurt this man. "Let’s not talk to each other again, Xia Jin." She added, making her voice crack.

  "Yue……"

  Li Yue did not wait for him to utter a single word. She started walking away from him as she purposely covered her face, making it look like she was crying. How embarrassing, she thought.

  ’Do I really need to act like a teenager?’ she thought inwardly.

  ’Li Yue is a teenager.’


  ’I’m not asking you!’ he hissed inwardly. This system…… This system is really hateful!

  After making sure that she was out of everyone’s sight, Li Yue’s expression changed. Her previously pitiful face turned stiff. At this point, it was already established that Li Weiwei was just another one of those white lotuses who needed their knights in shining armor to save them. She then opened her phone only to see two missed calls from Xia Jin. "Stupid." She said under her breath before promptly blocking his number……

  When Li Yue arrived at her apartment, she immediately started opening some of the emails that she received. She had avoided checking them while she was at school because she did not want to distract herself from her classes. After all, Li Yue was a model student. Despite being a new soul residing in this body, she still needed to act like the real Li Yue.

  The original Li Yue was serious when it comes to her studies. It was because she was tremendously pressured by her father to do well in her academics. After all, she was the heir of their company. She needed to show that she was a capable student. In return, her father gave her everything that she wanted. However, that is not the case now.

  Right now, Li Yue is extremely poor, ah! She was too prideful to accept the help of her adoptive parents— the real Li Yue would never do that! Consequently, she must now suffer in finding a job! A sharp sigh escaped her lips. She really could not forgive this unfair treatment. Li Yue started going through her mails and responded to a few of them.

  That was, until she received a call from her adoptive mother, Tang Ruyi. At first, she ignored the call but ended up giving in to her tenacity at the third consecutive call. "Hello?" Tang Ruyi’s voice was soft. "Yue?"

  "Yes?" she answered.

  "I heard about what happened earlier." Just as she had expected, Tang Ruyi had the intention of telling her not to embarrass Li Weiwei again. Just like Xia Jin, she believed that Li Yue had been too harsh on her. Li Weiwei only wanted to talk and apologize because she thought Li Yue had been bullied because of her. Wasn’t that a very kind action?

  Why would Li Yue reciprocate with malice? Li Weiwei was just being kind!

  In the end, Li Yue said nothing. After letting Tang Ruyi vent, she silently ended the call and turned her phone off. It seems that Li Weiwei is really hell bent on turning everyone against her, she thought.
