I wasted half a day racking my brain trying to figure out how to showcase Meng Wange’s talent.
Is this really the kind of highlight your system recognizes?
Su Wanli stared dumbfounded at the text on her phone screen, then glanced at the students who had turned their backs, disguising themselves as stone statues.
And they were talking about making Meng Wange do something unexpected.
I thought it would be some moment where the protagonist shines, but even spreading her scandal counts as a highlight?!
You’re not an entertainment system, are you?!
[ Objectively speaking, judging by the speed of circulation and the heated discussions it’s stirred up, this situation might actually be a bigger highlight than “debating century-old math problems with the teacher.” ]
[ After all, having Baiying Academy’s First Delinquent, the Su family’s only daughter Su Xiaoli, turn over a new leaf and start studying hard in just one winter break is, in a way, more unbelievable than “Baiying Academy gaining another genius girl.” ]
… Wait, I just played a game of table tennis with Meng Wange and solved a few problems, how did that turn into turning over a new leaf?
What’s wrong with being a bad girl? Does being bad mean I can’t study seriously with my textbook?
When will this disgusting stereotype finally end…
And somehow my “bad girl” rating silently dropped to 87! I was already down to 95 after I had my subordinates discipline the class!
So what should I do now? Smash this phone on the floor and curse at the students’ backs?
I don’t think I have the vocabulary to curse them properly.
Besides, that might damage the reputation of Baiying’s First Delinquent, and smashing the phone means I’d have to pay for it…
Just as Su Wanli frowned, pondering what to do next, a slender hand reached out from behind and took the phone from her.
Meng Wange puckered her lips, looked at the text on the screen, and sighed softly.
“So that’s how it is.”
She stood up from her seat, slightly bending at the waist, and whispered into Su Wanli’s ear,
“Bao Ge, Miss Su, sorry for acting on my own and causing you trouble. Please wait here for a moment.”
“Wait? What nonsense are you talking about…”
Before Su Wanli could grasp what Meng Wange meant, she calmly placed the phone on the desk and walked straight toward the lecture platform.
“Sorry to interrupt everyone’s thirty seconds of self-study time. What I’m about to say is for those concerned about the relationship between me and Miss Su.”
She bowed slightly to the students below the platform, then spoke with her usual calm tone,
“I want to clarify something. Of course, you can also consider this a supplement to the self-introduction I gave earlier this morning.”
Hearing this, the statues lifted their curses, turning around with expressions of curiosity toward Meng Wange on the lecture platform.
Meng Wange smiled faintly, looking at Su Wanli sitting in the second-to-last row of the classroom.
“The relationship between us is not as complicated as some classmates imagine. As I said before, I am merely a lonely girl living in the Su family. Apart from my memory, I have no other remarkable qualities.”
“Now, being able to wear this school uniform and study at Baiying Academy is partly thanks to Uncle Su’s help, and also thanks to Miss Su’s willingness.”
“It was she who proactively wished to become a qualified successor of the Su family and take on her responsibilities. That’s when Uncle Su began looking for someone who could offer her some assistance. And that, is how I came to be by her side.”
“So, it’s not that I changed Miss Su or turned her into a hardworking and positive person. Rather, the already outstanding Su Xiaoli accepted my presence generously to become even better.”
“As for the rumors about our feelings, the strongest feeling I have toward Miss Su is simply gratitude.”
After finishing, she bowed again to the students.
“Apologies once more for disturbing your time. However, Miss Su has always hated baseless rumors—just like the rumors about Bai He that were spread among students a month ago.”
“So, I hope everyone will stop believing and spreading such content. I’m sure Uncle Su would also not want to see his daughter being carelessly discussed in class.”
Though she maintained a polite smile, the coldness in Meng Wange’s eyes emitted an inexplicably chilling aura, as if she was ready to eliminate someone on the spot to bolster her credibility.
Those who caught her gaze quickly nodded, indicating their understanding.
What a joke—using Su Heng’s name without any decorum, who would dare defy that…
Meng Wange tidied her clothes with a smile, paid no mind to their reactions, then gracefully stepped down from the platform and returned to Su Wanli’s side.
She pulled out a chair and flipped her notebook back to the previous page, looking up at Su Wanli, who was still standing, and gently asked,
“Miss Su, shall we continue?”
Su Wanli swallowed silently, obediently sat back down, and picked up her pen.
No, wait, that fierce expression earlier wasn’t directed at me. What am I afraid of?
Su Wanli cleared her throat twice, propping her chin on the back of her hand, and casually said,
“. Meng Wange, you really didn’t have to react so strongly or explain things to them. I don’t care what they think of me.”
Meng Wange smiled faintly, shaking her head while pointing to the problem analysis in the notebook.
“Miss Su, I just don’t want my presence to have any negative impact on your reputation. Besides, your desire to achieve good grades comes from yourself, and your efforts shouldn’t be denied by anyone.”
“Four.”
Su Wanli replied coldly, then grabbed her pen and quietly began calculating on her draft paper.
“Miss Su, this is from the problem before last; you used the wrong formula here.”
“I… I know! Just a slip of the hand. Get me a new piece of draft paper!”
Tch, seriously, it’s just high schoolers entertaining themselves over a small matter.
Meng Wange really is something, so serious, even saying she doesn’t want my efforts denied by anyone…
And they even dragged Su Heng’s name into this, no wonder they don’t dare say much.
Looks like that’s the end of it…
While Meng Wange flipped through the textbook looking for formulas, Su Wanli smiled and sighed softly.
She picked up the phone from the desk, preparing to casually toss it back onto the lecture platform later, waiting for its owner to fish it out.
However, the moment she turned the page, the phone screen suddenly lit up on its own.
“Shocking! Love makes the blind see beauty: Meng Wange openly praises Su Wanli as a kind and generous person.”
