“Yawn…”
Su Wanli let out a big yawn and slowly opened her eyes on the bed.
It felt like she hadn’t slept so soundly in a long time.
…Was it because she had done so much yesterday that her body was feeling tired?
She rubbed her shoulder and sat up in bed, silently stretching in the sunlight outside the window.
Hmm… What was she supposed to do today again?
She still remembered that her last memory from last night was the system assigning her the task for the next day…
[Your main task is: On the way from Sujia to school, order the driver to leave early. Meng Huange will have to find her own way to arrive at school on time.]
As if it had been waiting for her to wake up, the system’s electronic voice chimed in eagerly just as Su Wanli sat up in bed.
[Good morning, Host. It is now 7:00 a.m. There are still thirty minutes before the car leaves for school. Please get ready as soon as possible, get in the car before Meng Huange, and then order the driver to leave early.]
“Yawn… What’s the rush? Would the Sujia car ever leave without the Su family’s young lady? Being late by a minute or two doesn’t matter, it’s such a simple thing.”
Su Xiaoli lazily tossed off her covers and prepared to get out of bed to wash up.
Today’s task was actually pretty easy, just leaving Meng Huange at the gate alone. Anyway, she’d find her own way to arrive at school on time, so it shouldn’t matter, right?
[Although this is indeed a simple task, the heroine Meng Wange has already gotten ready, gone downstairs, and is currently enjoying her breakfast in the Yan Hui Ting. I suggest you hurry up, or else it’ll be Meng Wange waiting for you in the car.]
Tsk, what a try-hard. Forcing me to get up in such a hurry so early in the morning.
Isn’t the morning supposed to be the laziest time of the day? Otherwise, how am I supposed to get through the rest of the day…
Su Xiaoli’s gaze drifted over to the notebook on her desk—more precisely, to the identity she now possessed.
“Although it might be a bit silly to ask this right after you gave me a new task, but… does this mean I actually have to go to high school classes?”
[Of course. After all, your main mission right now is to achieve a good result in the upcoming school entrance test…]
Before the system could finish, Su Wanli fell face-first back onto her bed behind her.
“No way, I can’t do it. Just kill me.”
[Host, it’s just a trip to high school. You won’t need to move around as much as yesterday, so you’ll use up much less energy.]
“Which means, I’ll just die mentally instead.”
[The system understands how you feel, but as the Sujia young lady, you actually have more freedom to do what you want in school…]
“Classrooms, classmates, blackboards, the bell, teachers’ lectures—just hearing those again is enough to destroy my spirit.”
[But, your mission…]
Su Xiaoli pulled the covers back over herself and silently closed her eyes.
Haha, I might have been deliberately ignoring this for the past two days, but now I see…
High school student, huh? Haha…
Just thinking about my current identity, even if I tried to play dead at home and skip school, I’d still start to feel a little guilty…
Looks like I’m still far from being a true villainess. If I really was, skipping class would be nothing…
Forget it, I still have to go. I can’t lose my 12 billion just because of this.
Su Wanli let out a heavy sigh and forced herself to sit up again.
On her nightstand, a perfectly folded school uniform was waiting. She didn’t know if it was Zhang Ma or another servant who’d put it there.
Although it was called a school uniform, the color and cut were extremely Japanese: a white shirt, a deep gray jacket with a blueish tone, a gray undershirt, a deep red ribbon, and matching skirt and pants.
Huh, isn’t this just like those sailor uniforms in anime? Are these kinds of uniforms even allowed in domestic schools?
Well, since it’s a prestigious school, being a bit different is understandable.
But…
I’m already a villainess, do I really need to wear the school uniform to school?
[Although Su Wanli, as the villainess young lady, is always free and unrestrained, school rules are school rules. Not following them will affect your test scores. I suggest you wear the school uniform for now, whether it’s the skirt or the pants.]
Alright, I guess the past two days I really was either in a nightgown or a formal dress, but that couldn’t be helped. Since there’s a pants option, of course I’ll pick the pants.
Su Wanli yawned again and put on the uniform piece by piece.
Ah, this feeling of carefully putting on the uniform, packing your bag, and checking your homework—it’s been so long since I last did this…
She adjusted the ribbon neatly into her undershirt, stood up, and admired herself in the mirror.
The girl’s soft black hair hung loosely by her ears. Paired with the standard Japanese-style school uniform, she didn’t look villainous at all—on the contrary, she looked gentle and obedient.
Hmm…
Strange, very strange.
Just looking at this obedient reflection in the mirror, Su Wanli felt her villainess points dropping to zero.
After thinking for a moment, she pulled her waist out of the jacket, tied the sleeves around her waist, and tugged the ribbon loose to one side so it hung askew.
Now, the prim and proper high school girl in the mirror was gone, replaced by a petite but brooding school delinquent… right?
Well, there’s still a bit of a good girl vibe, but it’s much better than before!
Finally, she tried a dab of lipstick, and nodded at her reflection in satisfaction.
A glance at the time—it was already 7:12. Better hurry up.
…Wait, is Meng Wange going to finish eating and just head straight to the car without waiting for me?
With that possibility in mind, Su Wanli immediately sped up, and in less than a minute, she arrived at the Yan Hui Ting.
Of course, the imagined scenario didn’t happen.
Meng Wange, dressed in the same new school uniform as Su Wanli, was sitting elegantly beside Su Wanli’s seat, her knife and fork neatly placed to one side.
As for the toast and ham in front of her, they were untouched—clearly, she was waiting to eat together.
At least she knows her place as an assistant…
“Um, Miss Su,”
Seeing Su Xiaoli’s figure, Meng Wange smiled and lifted her head, looking into Su Wanli’s eyes~
“Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?”
“Hmph, do you need to mind whether I slept well or not?”
Sticking to her usual persona, Su Xiaoli curled her lips dismissively, pulled out her chair and sat down, grabbed a piece of jam-covered toast, and shoved it into her mouth.
Only then did Meng Wange, who had been sitting in the Yan Hui Ting for who knows how long, start to move. She elegantly cut the ham into small pieces and slowly brought them to her mouth with a fork.
I thought good students would care more about the time, but she doesn’t seem in a hurry to get to school at all…
Su Wanli picked up her glass of milk and took small sips as she silently observed Meng Wange’s brand-new uniform.
Although she had always worn a school uniform before, the noble academy’s sailor suit felt completely different.
If it looked cute and sweet on Su Wanli, it looked graceful and serene on Meng Wange. The deep red ribbon was neatly tucked into her undershirt, and her light brown hair was neatly tied back, making her look much more spirited.
But this time, I won’t blurt out “You look really good,” I’ll just think it quietly in my heart.
Ah, the heroine really is beautiful…
I wonder who will be lucky enough to sit next to Meng Huange—she’d sure be lucky…
“Miss Su, Miss Meng, it’s getting late. The driver is waiting outside.”
Zhang Ma stood at the entrance of the Yan Hui Ting, knocking gently on the doorframe to remind them.
Ah, right, there’s that!
“Okay, Zhang Ma, we’ll…”
Before Meng Wange could speak, Su Wanli suddenly grabbed a slice of toast from the table and dashed out the door.
Leaving only Zhang Ma and Meng Huange in the room, staring at each other in surprise.
