“Ring ring ring, ring ring ring—”
“Huh? Time really flies; the bell’s already signaling the end of class.”
Hearing the sharp dismissal bell ringing right beside her ear, the History Teacher showed great professionalism by not dragging the class on any longer.
Instead, he gave a clean and crisp salute to the students below the podium, then made a cool hand gesture—
“Although I still want to continue introducing to all of you comrades the Geological Disaster of 1320 and the subsequent response measures, time does not permit it. So, today’s lesson will end here.”
With that, he swept up the few textbooks on the podium and strode out of the Classroom.
Afterwards, amidst the shuffling of chairs and the students’ noisy chatter, the black-haired girl sitting by the window in the second-to-last row lightly furrowed her brows.
She trembled slightly all over, then suddenly straightened up, sitting rigidly upright at her desk.
“My mouth, th-the…”
Su Xiaoli took a deep breath, patting her chest as she slowly exhaled, then glanced around as if waking from a distant world.
The usual San Ban Classroom, the usual view outside the window, and nearby, as always, Meng Huange…
“Phew, phew, I’m dead. It was just a dream after all.”
For some reason, during that history class just now, Miss Wanli had only briefly dozed off for a moment but experienced a complete dream with Meng Wange appearing within it.
Dreaming of Meng Wange wasn’t all that surprising, considering she’d been revolving around her these past few days and had a whole bunch of plans arranged for her by the System.
Having thoughts by day and dreams by night was rather normal.
But the content of this dream was rather strange.
Both herself and Meng Huange were enveloped in a dim, dark haze, with Meng Huange’s delicate, pale face just inches away.
After that, she accidentally or rather, succumbed to temptation or perhaps out of loneliness…
In short, she—
Kissed Meng Huange on the lips.
Her lips pressed against Meng’s, and she could even feel that soft, moist sensation.
If the dream had ended there, it wouldn’t have been such a nightmare, but rather a pleasant dream to savor.
However, the next moment, the System’s cruel voice rang in her ear—
[Detected extremely unreasonable behavior from the host; Female Villain Value will be reset to zero immediately.]
[Apologies, host. Your Female Villain Miss performance task has failed.]
What? That’s it? It’s over just like that?
Then, what about my Reward? Since it got to this point, at least give me some Support Fee, right?
[Apologies, if you can’t maintain your Female Villain persona until the end, the System has no authority to grant you any Reward.]
The System announced this with its usual emotionless electronic tone, then extended a mechanical hand and saluted her—
[Thank you for your support. Your previous acting efforts are appreciated. The System looks forward to cooperating with you next time.]
With that, Meng Wange’s figure and the System’s voice gradually faded into the distance until they disappeared entirely, leaving her standing alone in the darkness…
What a terrifying nightmare…
Su Wanli silently shook her head, trying hard to shove the dream out of her mind.
It was probably because she had some close contact with Meng Huange in the Physical Education Equipment Room, which triggered such a dream.
But at that moment, they had separated immediately; nothing actually happened! So why punish me like this?
Damn it. I just wanted to rest a little and ended up dozing off in history class. Now not only did I not get proper rest, I even lost more energy.
This is the price of not paying attention in class…
Seeing Su Wanli’s somewhat dazed expression, Meng Wange stood from her seat and walked over to her.
She leaned down slightly and softly asked in her ear,
“What’s wrong, Miss Wanli? Did you have a nightmare?”
“Huh? What does that have to do with you…”
Following the direction of the voice, Su Xiaoli’s gaze naturally lifted to Meng Wange’s slightly parted lips, which shimmered faintly with moisture.
“Ahem, cough, cough cough cough…”
Her cheeks immediately flushed red. She quickly pretended to cough and turned her body to face the window, waving her hand at Meng Huange.
“Y-you, don’t get so close to me.”
“…But you sound like your cough is pretty bad. Do you have a cold?”
Meng Wange asked patiently as she gently draped a School Uniform Jacket over Su Wanli’s shoulders.
Feeling the warmth behind her, Su Wanli’s body stiffened slightly and she suddenly felt a bit guilty.
Sigh, Meng Wange hasn’t done anything wrong. How could I blame her just because of a silly dream?
Wait, no, that’s not right.
The History Teacher came back too fast, almost making Su Wanli forget she hadn’t even questioned where Meng Huange went at noon.
Perfect timing, her Extra Villainess Value hasn’t hit the upper limit yet, so she can still use this excuse to squeeze a little more.
Su Wanli took a deep breath, calmed her mind, then coldly said as she put on the jacket properly and turned to look Meng Wange in the eye—
“Hmph, what cold? This young lady is very healthy! But even if I did catch a cold, it’s because someone took my School Uniform Jacket and ran off somewhere, not letting me see her all afternoon!”
Meng Wange smiled slightly, nodding as she straightened the jacket a little.
“…Apologies, Miss Wanli. I’ll try to stay by your side more often from now on.”
“Don’t just say such ambiguous things casually! I just barely calmed down!”
Su Wanli snapped her mouth shut and crossed her arms, continuing coldly—
“Heh heh, you, Meng Huange, have the nerve to say you’ll try to stay by me. Isn’t that just to brush off some dust? You even wasted nearly two hours!”
While saying this, Su Wanli pinched the hem of the jacket, pointing to a faint gray stain still visible on it—
“Spending two hours would be one thing, but you still haven’t cleaned it off! What’s this big patch? Look me in the eyes and tell me!”
Meng Wange tilted her head slightly and pointed to her own seat.
“Miss Wanli, this jacket is just a temporary one I lent you. Your own clothes aren’t dry yet—they’re drying on the back of my chair.”
…So this means, this is actually Meng Wange’s School Uniform?
No wonder it felt weird putting it on earlier; when I reached out, my hand barely fit into the sleeve…
Su Wanli awkwardly touched her nose but still struggled to maintain her Female Villain persona—
“…Then, why did you take it upon yourself to put your clothes on me? Did you get my permission first?”
“Apologies. You seemed to have fallen asleep at your seat just now, and I was afraid you might catch a cold. If you keep catching colds for two days in a row, you might develop some chronic illness.”
Su Wanli was momentarily speechless, silently lifting her arm to point at Meng Huange’s face, then lowering it dejectedly.
“Then, you should be more careful next time.”
“Wow, Miss Wanli!”
Before Meng Wange could react, three people in the back row suddenly let out a strange cry.
…Alright, alright, I was so busy scolding Meng Wange, I almost forgot about you three.
Su Wanli tossed a glance at Meng Wange, then tightened the oversized jacket a little and waved at the little pink-haired girls.
She then headed out of the Classroom.
