During break time, in the familiar quiet corner on the second floor of the Baiying Academy teaching building, after listening to Su Wanli’s statement, Xiao Fen was the first to raise her right hand.
“So, Boss Su, do you mean we should gather and think of a way to confirm what Boss Meng thinks of you?”
Su Wanli rolled her eyes at Xiao Fen and corrected bluntly:
“Yes, that’s about right, but there’s no such thing as ‘Boss Meng.’ She’s just ordinary Meng Wange.”
‘…Sigh, I’ve really fallen on hard times, having to come to them to discuss this kind of problem. But there is no other way. Every move I make is basically exposed to Meng Wange’s view, and without someone else’s help, there’s no way I can see through Meng Wange’s true feelings. Besides, to be honest, I’ve already used most of the methods I could think of. Whether it’s taking Meng Wange out for dessert and movies, or putting on a maid outfit and playing games with her, Meng Wange’s face always has that faint, indifferent smile. In other words, most of the plans I seriously thought of don’t work. So now, it’s time to rely on the strength of these three scoundrels in front of me! Don’t be fooled by their usual lackadaisical attitude; maybe the plans they come up with will surprisingly work well at times like this?
Realizing that her previous statement sounded a bit too ambiguous, Su Wanli thought for a moment, cleared her throat to her three underlings, and added another sentence——
“——Cough, well, after all, I am nominally Meng Wange’s master.”
“She came to the Su family and Baiying Academy as my personal maid.”
“What thoughts does she harbor toward me? Could she be having improper ideas? What position do I hold in her heart? As her master, of course I should investigate these matters. That’s only natural, right?”
After hearing Su Wanli’s words, Xiao Fen and Potato Thunder nodded vigorously.
“Mn mn! Boss is right!”
“Mn mn! Boss is right!”
Only Da Zhuang silently scratched the tip of his nose.
“But Boss Su, the issues you just had us discuss—any way you look at it, it seems like you want Meng Wange to confess—”
“Huh?”
Before Da Zhuang could finish, Xiao Fen and Potato Thunder jumped up together, covered Da Zhuang’s mouth in unison, and then waved their hands repeatedly at Su Wanli——
“D-Da Zhuang means you’re right! We’ll definitely do our best to exert all our efforts on Meng Wange and make her impression of you clear to the whole world!”
“…”
“Really?”
Su Wanli raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced suspiciously at Da Zhuang whose mouth was covered by them, and then casually shrugged.
“Anyway, let’s hear it. Let me see what methods you can come up with in your heads.”
Thus, Su Wanli leaned against the railing near the corridor alone, waiting for the three behind her to discuss for a while——
“So, when it comes to the most important person, the classic question naturally comes to mind, right?”
As if they had finally reached an agreement, Xiao Fen held her lollipop in her mouth and walked over to Su Wanli first, blinking mysteriously at her.
“That is—if your mother and your girlfriend fall into a river together, who would you choose to save first?”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanli helplessly slapped her forehead, beginning to doubt her own sanity, that she would actually expect answers from these three idiots…
“First of all, this is a school. Where is there a river for you to fall into?”
“Second, I already told you, I don’t want to establish that kind of messy emotional relationship. Don’t casually assign her that role.”
“Mn mn, I see, I understand.”
“The first thing to solve is the river problem, and it’s just to confirm your position in Meng Wange’s heart!”
“…Hey, don’t naturally ignore the second half of my statement.”
Da Zhuang, who was standing nearby, stepped forward, patted Xiao Fen on the shoulder, and said to Su Wanli:
“Boss, what Xiao Fen just meant is that since this is a test of importance, there needs to be a corresponding reference.”
Potato Thunder calmly nodded while stroking his chin.
“Exactly, if you want to know how big a position you occupy in Meng Wange’s heart, then naturally you need to put something equally important on the other side of the scale.”
“Then, for high school students like us, especially for top students like Meng Wange, the most important thing is of course…”
‘…What do you mean the most important thing for a student is of course studying?! What kind of thinking is that! I don’t know who they’ve been learning from all day!’
Back in the classroom, sitting beside Meng Wange, Su Wanli helplessly held her forehead.
‘Having these guys, whose heads I don’t know what’s inside, come up with strategies for me—it’s practically like being led into a ditch before even setting out. …But now that things have come to this, I don’t have any other good ideas. It wouldn’t hurt to tentatively adopt their plan…’
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring…
The English teacher, with her newly trimmed shoulder-length hair, walked briskly onto the lecture platform.
“Fine, good morning, everyone. Did you have a good rest this weekend?”
“Fine.”
“Not bad.”
“Pretty much the same.”
“Teacher, I like you!”
Among the jumble of responses, the English teacher took out a piece of chalk, tapped the blackboard, and cleared her throat.
Just as she was about to start today’s lesson, the petite black-haired girl in the back row suddenly stood up.
“Hm? What’s wrong, Miss Su? How long do you want to go out this time?”
“Forty minutes. I’ll probably be back by the next class.”
Having mentally prepared herself in advance, Su Wanli lazily stretched and naturally walked over to Meng Wange’s desk.
Under the surprised or curious gazes of the whole class, she casually knocked on the back of Meng Wange’s chair and dropped a baffling sentence——
“Meng Wange, I’m going out for a bit. You stay here and attend class properly.”
With that, she walked straight to the back door without looking sideways.
Leaving behind a cool and arrogant back, as well as a confusing sentence.
“But if you want to come find me, I won’t bother stopping you.”
After that, when the black-haired girl’s figure exited the back door, the restless curious gazes naturally converged on the brown-haired girl.
“…”
Meng Wange silently rubbed her brow, then naturally stood up and bowed apologetically to the English teacher.
“Sorry, Teacher Li, I might also…”
