Forget it. After all, I’m just completing the mission. Since the trigger has been reached, everything’s settled.
As for Meng Wange’s social gossip and personal reputation…
Ahem, I’ll leave it to the System to handle. It’s none of my business.
Su Wanli stared at the shattered phone screen on the ground, spiderwebbed with cracks, and silently shook her head.
To be honest, having a romantic scandal involving Meng Huange stirred a strange feeling in her heart.
She had no idea how the System would judge this matter. Undoubtedly, tarnishing Meng Huange’s reputation was, in a sense, a true Villainess act.
It would certainly bring some obstacles to Meng Huange’s campus life.
But would it really be reasonable for the story’s main female protagonist halo and the ultimate villainess of the Su family to be involved in such a scandal?
She already couldn’t imagine how the System would compile today’s report…
However, setting aside the Villainess persona, having a scandal with Meng Huange still sparked a peculiar sense of superiority within Su Wanli’s heart.
Ahem, who wouldn’t feel this way if they were rumored to be involved with Meng Huange, such an ultimate beauty?
Despite being stunning and talented, she was completely obedient to Su Wanli—or at least, that was how it appeared on the surface.
…Hiss, speaking of which, besides the first two or three times, the System seemed to have stopped reporting on Meng Wange’s disgust towards her.
Is her disgust still stuck at 70?
Lately, Su Wanli felt Meng Wange’s attitude was strange. That kind, gentle manner toward her didn’t seem acted at all…
[Do not doubt yourself, Host. Disgust alone is insufficient to evaluate your value to the female protagonist. Since your first encounter with Meng Huange, you have been a dutiful and perfect Villainess.]
Although the System immediately answered Su Wanli’s doubt, it didn’t address the question about the disgust value.
…Perhaps since the second mission, her disgust hasn’t changed, always in a state of “When the time is right, she will be ruthless toward you.”
Su Xiaoli furrowed her brows, recalling Meng Wange’s behavior today.
Hmm, first, as soon as they arrived in the classroom, she was reluctant to follow her wishes. During the self-introduction, she deliberately said nothing until Su Wanli stood up and forced her not to play the pitiful act.
Only then did Meng Wange reluctantly speak, clearly showing some kind of grievance toward her.
And in the Physical Education Equipment Room, just before the PE teacher caught her, there might have been better ways, but Meng Wange simply threw herself onto the gymnastics mat, rolled around in the dust, and got herself covered in dirt.
Although most of the time in front of her, Meng Wange tried to appear polite and graceful, even saying many heart-fluttering compliments, looking at these details…
So that’s it. Using such subtle methods to secretly express dissatisfaction?
Meng Huange, you little rascal…
Su Wanli shook her head and softly hummed a couple of notes at Meng Wange.
Forget it. If her way of showing disgust is this subtle and barely noticeable, she can express as much as she wants—I can take it.
Better to think about how to create another explosive event for Meng Huange.
A scandal might count as an explosive event, but those chances were rare and hard to come by.
It was far better to think of a more normal approach.
Since the next class was art, that should mean drawing a remarkable painting that would shock the whole school.
But the System hadn’t really mentioned Meng Wange’s drawing skills. Could it be that she wasn’t good at art?
At least until now, Meng Huange seemed capable of doing anything…
Meng Wange didn’t know that the young lady beside her had already drifted far away in thought, still diligently explaining the remaining questions to Su Wanli.
“Miss Su, this question is somewhat similar to question three in the exercise book. We can…”
“Meng Wange, do you know how to draw?”
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing this sudden question, Meng Wange blinked at Su Wanli and tilted her head lightly.
“Just like the Math World’s Century Problem you asked about earlier, you’re just asking casually.”
W-What? She immediately linked the two together! Didn’t she only ask two simple questions?!
Slightly flustered, Su Xiaoli pretended to hum casually and looked out the window into the distance.
“Just asking casually. Answer if you want, don’t if you don’t.”
“If you mean simple sketches, I have some experience, but it’s limited to sketches only.”
Meng Wange thought for a moment while staring at the ceiling, then smiled gently and looked into Su Xiaoli’s eyes.
“Like the one I drew on the sticky note for you—just simple lines outlining a similar shape.”
Is that so? Only capable of that level?
No matter. Since Meng Huange said she had some experience, let’s just take it that she can draw.
Besides, Su Wanli didn’t understand art and had no idea what qualified as a good painting.
Su Xiaoli nodded, glanced at the remaining questions in her Notebook, and anxiously leaned her thin body onto the desk.
Under Meng Wange’s close guidance, they had already gone through about one-third of the Notebook’s thickness.
If the proportion held, a score of 100 would mean she could earn 33 points now.
Looking at how Class Three, Year Two was performing, maybe if she could score 50 points, she’d reach the class’s middle tier.
Sigh, the closer you get to the goal, the less motivated you feel.
Just a bit more effort, to secure a better future for myself…
Ding ding ding—
Just as Su Xiaoli was about to steel her resolve and tackle a couple more problems, the dismissal bell rang untimely.
At the same time, the System’s cold electronic tone sounded.
[Host, the next art class will be held in the painting room of another teaching building. Would you like me to guide you there?]
No need. I’ll just feel my way over there myself. If I accidentally end up wandering into the grove with Meng Huange, doing this and that, and someone catches us and posts it online, that’ll be another explosive event.
[Understood. The System will now automatically navigate you to the grove.]
Could you just activate stealth mode? I’ll follow the other students myself.
Su Xiaoli sighed, stood up, and looked down at Meng Huange beside her.
“Let’s go, Meng Wange. The next art class is in the painting room of another building. Make sure to perform well in class. Don’t embarrass me…”
Pfft, wait. Since Meng Huange’s disgust value toward me has been stuck at 70, would saying this make things worse and cause her not to perform well?
Su Wanli rubbed her chin and shifted her tone.
“But if you can’t do it, then forget it. I didn’t have high hopes for you anyway.”
Meng Wange raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, nodding at Su Wanli.
“Miss Su, I’ll do my best.”
