A few days had passed since the incident with Duan Zong. Without his pestering, Zhu Yaya felt much more relaxed.
Her daily routine remained the same, revolving around tracking Xu Chun and going to school.
Everything seemed to be going well. The cold winter gradually left, and spring slowly arrived.
Except for the missions, which showed no signs of activity.
Otherwise, things would be even better.
Zhu Yaya stared intently at Murong Beichen and Xu Chun, who were being all lovey-dovey walking ahead of her.
Why? Why?
Weren't they dating perfectly fine?
Then why hasn't a single mission been triggered?
Moreover, the female supporting character Shen Wandan seemed to have had her heart broken by the slap Murong Beichen gave her at the New Year's Eve party, showing no reaction at all to the passionate romance between Murong Beichen and Xu Chun.
Even the female supporting character was slacking off, let alone the male supporting character Ling Yiming. After Murong Beichen and Xu Chun got together, Ling Yiming started drowning his sorrows in alcohol, completely losing the fiery drive he initially had to fight Murong Beichen for Xu Chun.
Neither of them was following the drama-stirring plotline. It made Zhu Yaya want to transform into a troublemaking villain herself to stir things up. However, considering her own lowly status in The Bossy Him, The Pure Love, she decided to forget about it.
The watermelons Zhu Yaya brought every day seemed to have lost their purpose.
March brought another round of exams.
Undoubtedly, Zhu Yaya was once again ranked first in the tenth grade. The teachers used to praise her for it, but now they were just used to it.
Zhu Yaya's little secret stash of money became much more abundant thanks to the monthly exam scholarship.
While the teacher was going over the exam paper at the podium, Zhu Yaya's mind was wandering off below.
She was thinking about the missions and the novel's plot.
Ugh, so annoying!
If only the words in The Bossy Him, The Pure Love given to her by the system hadn't disappeared! She hated herself for not memorizing the entire plot.
Zhu Yaya.
Zhu Yaya!
...
It wasn't until her desk mate Xu Baoying nudged the distracted Zhu Yaya with her elbow that Zhu Yaya suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that her homeroom teacher Chang Wen was calling her name.
Here! Zhu Yaya stood up in a panic and shouted loudly.
Chang Wen didn't scold Zhu Yaya for zoning out. She just looked at her calmly and said, Come to my office after class.
Okay. Having tea with the teacher again!
Zhu Yaya sighed, obeyed Chang Wen's words, and sat down. Because of this, she didn't dare to zone out anymore.
After class, Zhu Yaya looked like a frostbitten eggplant as she followed behind Chang Wen into the office.
She originally thought Chang Wen was going to lecture her again, but unexpectedly, Chang Wen didn't mention her zoning out and instead talked to her about something else.
Chang Wen said that April was just around the corner. Scott High School generally held a spring outing in April. It was usually organized by class, with the spring outing destination decided by the class itself, and they could also socialize with other classes.
Chang Wen took a light sip of tea and chuckled, Don't you call yourself Minister Zhu? Then you can be in charge of deciding which class our class will socialize with!
Zhu Yaya was a bit flattered and quickly agreed.
Socialize with which class?
Did she even need to think about it?
Of course, it would be Class 17 of the eleventh grade!
Ahem, she definitely didn't make this decision just because Yan Heng was in Class 17.
Zhu Yaya chatted with Chang Wen for a little while longer, finished the tea Chang Wen had brewed for her, and then slowly and leisurely left.
Chen Zicheng! An angry shout rang out from another part of the office.
Chen Zicheng?
Wasn't that the old-fashioned guy who slandered her?
Zhu Yaya really couldn't understand it. It was the 21st century, yet there was still a boy with such pedantic thoughts. Just because he saw her smiling, he slandered her as a fickle and inherently promiscuous woman.
Zhu Yaya looked over there with some curiosity.
Chen Zicheng stood with his head bowed in front of an older male teacher. That male teacher was the homeroom teacher for Class 2 of the tenth grade, whom Zhu Yaya had seen before. This teacher was famous at Scott High School for his strictness.
The male teacher held a test paper, rolled it into a tube, and looked deeply distressed. Look at your own grades! Ranked fiftieth in the grade! You used to be second in the grade! The teachers still had high hopes for you, thinking you were a good prospect who could surpass Zhu Yaya next door. Who knew your grades would get worse every single time!
Chen Zicheng kept his head down, making it impossible to see the expression on his face, but his whole body seemed shrouded in a layer of dark fog.
Being used as a comparison made Zhu Yaya feel a bit awkward. She lost her interest in watching the drama and wanted to leave quickly.
When Zhu Yaya opened the office door, it made some noise. Zhu Yaya looked back apologetically at the teachers in the office, but when her gaze landed on Chen Zicheng, she saw that Chen Zicheng, who had originally been looking down, had raised his head at some point and was staring fixedly at her.
Chen Zicheng's face looked terrible, and his eyes carried a thick layer of resentment. But he quickly lowered his head again.
Zhu Yaya: ???
Why was he looking at her with that kind of gaze? It wasn't like she caused him to get scolded, or delayed his studies, right?
Judging by his look, it was over. This guy was going to slander her again.
Zhu Yaya wrinkled her nose, turned around, and left.
It was almost time for English class when she returned to her classroom.
Therefore, Zhu Yaya wasn't in a hurry to talk about the spring outing.
It was only after the teacher finished the lesson and left that Zhu Yaya walked up to the podium and told everyone about the spring outing and the socializing event.
Although Zhu Yaya had her own selfish motives, such a collective matter couldn't be decided based on her personal desires alone.
Does everyone have any thoughts on which class we should socialize with? As the minister, I will go negotiate on your behalf, Zhu Yaya said from the podium.
As a result, a large group of girls screamed that they wanted to choose Class 17 of the eleventh grade, while a large group of boys screamed that they wanted to choose Class 1 of the eleventh grade.
Of course it's Class 17! Our Prince Chen is there!
Tch, our Goddess Dandan is in Class 1!
The people in Class 1 are too arrogant!
The class environment of Class 17 is bad!
...
Zhu Yaya understood.
Right!
Murong Beichen was in Class 17, and Shen Wandan was in Class 1.
No wonder.
The boys and girls in the class broke into a fierce argument. The classroom became increasingly chaotic. Zhu Yaya strained her voice shouting Quiet several times, but she couldn't stop them.
Zhu Yaya wanted to ask the class monitor and the disciplinary committee member for help. But unexpectedly, those two girls, who usually looked very serious, were also screaming and joining the argument.
Zhu Yaya: ...
In the end, Zhu Yaya, with a dark face, stomped her foot on the podium, creating a loud bang that finally intimidated the group of boys and girls into silence.
Zhu Yaya's voice was a bit hoarse from shouting earlier. She cleared her throat: Only calculating adults make choices. As ignorant kids, we want them all!
Class 17, right! Class 1, right! I'll arrange them all for you! Zhu Yaya waved her hand domineeringly.
The class that had finally quieted down became lively again, but now it was filled with praise for Zhu Yaya.
Next, just as Zhu Yaya was thinking about how to go and discuss it with the two classes, something caught her completely off guard.
