Chapter 3: Precious Girl

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There were usually one or two peripheral characters in each class. They were introverted, taciturn, and usually had no friends or even were bullied.

Young people were the purest and also most evil of times. They might not be as materialistic and snobbish as they were in the movies, but they would often ostracize and bully others for a simple reason.

The reason for this was often trivial matters, such as unkempt appearance, bad foot odor, and rumors.

Of course, most of the time, the most important thing was that this person was introverted, self-absorbed, unsociable, and had no friends.

Tang Youxin was a typical peripheral character.

Every day, when she went to and from school alone, she would look down at her toes when she walked, as if she was looking at someone with the top of her head. She never dared to look up and look into the eyes of others.

Perhaps because of her poor family background, she was a little introverted and felt inferior. She basically had no friends. Although her classmates did not deliberately exclude her, they could not get together because of her personality. The only time she had a sense of presence was when the teacher called out for her attendance.

‘Could she be a hidden treasure?’

Xia Xu was a little curious.

Compared to his cheat code making mistakes, he was more willing to believe that he didn’t have a good eye in the past.

Although this planet was called Planet Aquamarine, and the country he was located in was called Summer, it was roughly the same as China on Earth. No matter how good one’s figure was, it could not be seen under the cover of the oversized and ugly school uniform. Otherwise, China’s school uniform would not be regarded as a weapon against puppy love.

It was the same for her face. Tang Youxin had her head lowered all day, and most of her face was covered by her long black hair. Moreover, she rarely interacted with people, so it was normal that she was not noticed.

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. Xia Xu couldn’t help but get up and walk closer.

Tang Youxin was lying on the table. She seemed to be sleeping, but when he got closer, he noticed that her body was trembling slightly.

‘She’s crying?’

Xia Xu lowered his body in confusion, wanting to confirm.

He had seen people crying on the table before. Many people were trembling like this when they were sobbing.

But after bending over, Xia Xu realized that he was wrong. Tang Youxin was not crying. She was eating quietly, as if she was eating snacks in class.

But now was not the time for lessons.

On the contrary, this was the lunch break.

However… After seeing what Tang Youxin was eating, he roughly understood the reason.

It was a gray-colored steamed bun.

The reason why she was eating face down… was probably because she didn’t want the others in the class to see her.

Tang Youxin came from a poor family. She had been a poor student in high school for a few years. This was common knowledge, but he didn’t expect it to be this bad.

Xia Xu could understand this sense of distress. His original body was also an orphan, and he was poor when he was young.

Then there was silence!

The girl, who was lying on the table and eating quietly, seemed to sense that someone was looking at her. Her body stiffened, and her whole body seemed to tense up.

“How about… I treat you to a meal?”

Xia Xu was a little hesitant. He didn’t know if he should continue speaking.

This might provoke the girl’s self-esteem, but the current situation was actually embarrassing enough. There was no difference if he said that or not.

Tang Youxin’s stiff body trembled when she heard this, but she did not respond. Her forehead was still resting on her arm, and her face was facing down.

But after a short pause, the girl’s body continued to tremble, and she began to eat the steamed bun in small bites.

Perhaps this was a ‘response’.

“Aren’t you afraid of choking like this?”

Xia Xu felt helpless. He felt like he was talking to a hamster or a rabbit.

“No… no need.”

Finally, a soft voice came out, but it was still emitted from the table. It was as soft as a mosquito. If one didn’t pay attention, they might not even hear it.

Her weak, timid tone and soft voice made people want to bully and yet protect her.

“Then why don’t you treat me? I don’t have anything to eat.”

Xia Xu ‘maliciously’ reached out his hand and grabbed the more than half of the buckwheat buns the girl had left. He then stuffed them into his mouth and finished them in a few bites.

He wanted to see the girl raise her head and snatch it back, then treat her to a meal as compensation as an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Tang Youxin did not do as he expected. Instead, after he finished eating, she weakly handed him another one. “Do… Do you want more? There’s one more.”

“I’m snatching your food, I’m bullying you, be serious.”

Xia Xu was angry and amused, but when he saw the girl lowering her head timidly, he was a little touched.

He had forgotten why he wanted to see the girl’s face, but when he saw her buried her head in her chest like an ostrich, he grabbed the steamed bun and ate it.

“Is there more?”

Xia Xu took the white plastic bag containing the buckwheat buns and asked the obvious.

“No more.”

Tang Youxin seemed to be frightened. She trembled like a frightened rabbit before responding weakly.

“That can’t do, I’m not full yet. Come, let’s go out and continue to eat.”

Xia Xu dragged Tang Youxin away. The people in the classroom either wanted to watch a good show or wanted to say something, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

“I… I don’t have money.”

“My treat.”

“I don’t want…”

“I didn’t ask for your opinion, I just wanted to inform you that I am a person of principle. If you treat me to something, I will treat you back.”

The strength of a girl was weaker than that of a boy. Xia Xu half dragged Tang Youxin and finally pulled her to the school gate. He hesitated for a moment before finally finding a noodle restaurant with fewer customers.

Xia Xu really couldn’t afford to buy a meal at a restaurant. In reality, there weren’t so many rich second-generation heirs with pocket money worth more than ten thousand yuan. It was already good enough for a high school student to have a hundred yuan as pocket money.

Moreover, Xia Xu was also an orphan. It was just that his parents had left a house and a small amount of savings, which was better than Tang Youxin’s situation, but it was actually limited.

This noodle restaurant was located at the front gate of the school, and most people preferred to eat at the back gate of the school, so the business of the noodle restaurant was relatively poor.

Xia Xu asked for two bowls of the most ordinary meat noodles, paid the bill in advance, and pulled Tang Youxin to sit at the corner table.

Not long after, the boss brought over a bowl of steaming soup noodles and placed it in front of Xia Xu.

“Eat.”

Xia Xu pushed the bowl of noodles to Tang Youxin.

“I don’t want to.”

Tang Youxin still buried her head in her chest, not daring to look up, but she still saw Xia Xu’s movements.

As if avoiding a poisonous snake, her entire body shrank back slightly, and her ass moved back as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She reached out her index finger like a thief and poked at the bowl, quietly pushing it towards Xia Xu, as if silently protesting.

“Eat quickly.”

Xia Xu pushed the bowl back to its original position and said with a stern face, “Let me tell you, I have my pride. Do you think I can eat for free? People will say that I’m a beggar, so I have to treat you back. Just eat.”

“I… I…”

Tang Youxin was so shocked that her body trembled. She said pitifully, “I’ll eat it, don’t be so fierce to me…”

“Then finish the whole bowl.”

Xia Xu realized that this seemed to be the most effective way to communicate with Tang Youxin.

“Okay…”

Tang Youxin responded in an aggrieved manner. She reluctantly placed two fingers of her right hand on the edge of the table and moved it to the bamboo stick with chopsticks. She then took the chopsticks and began to eat..
