On the way back to the city, the girls discussed what to do next.
Su Qingyu submitted the Association’s information and the Crossroads of Life, helping Bai Xia conceal the matter of the Pocket Watch, then went on with her normal life.
But after today, all three girls understood that their fates were now intertwined.
A shared secret, similar stances, a common enemy, and also a shared… hmm.
Bai Xiaoya didn’t realize she was also one of the “shared” ones, and even the most important one. She just felt that this was pretty good.
“It’s not bad. There’s strength in numbers,” she said.
Then Bai Xia and Su Qingyu looked at her with strange expressions.
Bai Xiaoya was puzzled: “What? Is there a problem?”
Xiao Ya had no bad intentions.
She just felt it was nice to be together, to be close, and to do any Task directly.
If they split up and Su Qingyu left Baiyuan City for another Province or even Overseas, what if she had a Task?
Was she supposed to send it across a thousand miles?
Pah, pah, pah, no, doing a Task doesn’t necessarily mean being beaten.
Hmm, probably not, right?
“Aya,” Su Qingyu’s gaze was complicated, “do you really think it’s good?”
“Of course! You two were so in sync today,” Bai Xiaoya said seriously.
They even played Wolf Napping.
They had tactics, coordination, even personal skills were just right.
Bai Xia and Su Qingyu were speechless, but they had to admit Bai Xiaoya was right.
With the coordination and synergy the two of them showed today, if it weren’t for the mysterious stuff but rather traditional sports or e-sports, they’d be like Jordan and Pippen, Kobe and O’Neal, Rescal and Clid, Doinb and Swift…
Wait, forget the last two…
No, even the first two don’t work, they both count.
In the end, Su Qingyu muttered, “Let’s go back to School first.”
After returning to School, sure enough, Bai Xiaoya and Su Qingyu were called to the Office by the Homeroom Teacher.
The Homeroom Teacher was a young woman in her twenties, with some work experience, having guided one or two cohorts of Students.
Usually reasonable, she generally agreed to Student requests.
She poured two cups of warm water, placed them in front of the two girls, sat down, sighed, and then said:
“I know you’re young and full of vitality. I don’t expect you to focus all your energy on studying like middle schoolers. That’s not realistic. Dating is normal, and young people in the new era may have special orientations. I’m not an old-fashioned person, just don’t be too high-profile.”
Bai Xiaoya nodded vigorously: “Exactly, Teacher, you’re absolutely right.”
Although that wasn’t the reality, this was the situation.
You can’t just grab someone at School and say we’re not dating, like a Replay Machine.
“I’m not finished yet,” the Homeroom Teacher glared at her. “I understand the restless hearts of youth, so I specially approved leave for Thursday, but isn’t it excessive that you also skipped School on Friday?”
Bai Xiaoya smiled sweetly: “Look, Teacher, we’re here now, aren’t we?”
Today was Friday.
At most, it was tardiness, not absence.
The Homeroom Teacher was both amused and annoyed, and even Su Qingyu tugged at Bai Xiaoya’s sleeve, signaling her to say less.
If the Homeroom Teacher had mysterious qualifications, Su Qingyu suspected that just these two sentences would be enough to trigger a Task.
Wait, was it really just her and Bai Xia?
Could there be more?
While being scolded in the Office, Su Qingyu suddenly realized this.
“…Next time, remember to ask for leave first. Don’t just leave without a word.”
“Yes, Teacher, I’ll remember.”
“All right, go to class now.”
The Homeroom Teacher waved her hand, dismissing them.
The two girls walked out of the Office together.
“Xiao Su, don’t worry. When the Teacher calls us, it’s just to vent and to make us show some attitude. Just say a few good words and it’ll be fine.”
Bai Xiaoya said cheerfully.
Xiao Ya was like this.
After graduating and working for a few years in her previous life, she thought she was a seasoned veteran, but in reality, she’d just picked up a few tricks.
However, Su Qingyu was absent-minded, said a few perfunctory words, and went back to the Dormitory to rest.
Bai Xiaoya also returned to her own Dormitory and lay down.
Being a hostage was exhausting too.
What’s wrong with taking a break?
“Ah, today was really…”
The big-chested girl lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a sigh.
“I never thought the most dangerous situation after transmigrating wouldn’t come from a Villainess Task, but from the hidden crisis of this world itself.”
“Which means, in the end, the rewards are just too poor.”
No response in her mind.
Bai Xiaoya couldn’t help it.
“If you don’t give me feedback, how am I supposed to work? Never mind anything else. If I keep getting rescued by the Headmistress whenever I’m in danger, and we end up hugging each other, others will either think we’re dating or already married. How am I supposed to do my job?”
Today really scared her.
If those people had been a bit more ruthless or lustful, or if the bullet hadn’t missed, the outcome would’ve been unbearable.
So Xiao Ya went all out. She had to fight for it.
[ Ding dong, Summer Vacation is approaching. As the saying goes, diligence leads to excellence and play leads to decay. As an outstanding Villainess, how could you not take this chance to make a big move? During the holiday, the Host will receive a Limited Task. Completing the Task will grant a draw from the High-level Prize Pool. Please continue to work hard and become an even better you! ]
High-level Prize Pool!
Bai Xiaoya’s eyes lit up, and her breathing quickened.
Goodness, acting weak really worked.
She’d only seen the Intermediate before, which increased her Mystery Resistance, but now even the High-level Prize Pool had appeared.
“Holiday… only a week left.”
Bai Xiaoya pulled her beloved blanket over herself, determined to conserve energy and prepare for the Limited Task.
***
At the same time, in another Dormitory, Su Qingyu hesitated for a long time before finally taking out her Phone and dialing.
“Hello?”
“Technically, I should be in class at this time,” Bai Xia’s voice came from the Phone, “So speak quickly.”
Su Qingyu puffed her cheeks.
“You’re already answering, so why say that… I have something to discuss with you. Can we meet this weekend?”
“No.”
Bai Xia was blunt.
“Pick a time between Monday and Friday.”
Trying to take away her and Bai Xiaoya’s home time? No way.
Su Qingyu struggled.
Normally, she would have agreed, but she’d just come from the Homeroom Teacher’s Office…
“Final Exams are coming up. It’s not easy to get leave.”
“Then let’s talk later.”
Beep, beep, beep.
The call was disconnected.
Su Qingyu gritted her teeth in frustration and dialed another number.
So you won’t let me come? I’ll just have to go on the weekend anyway.
“Hello, Aya, where’s your home?”
