Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

Yu Songsong and the victim-suspect junior went to a corner, where the two of them began going over the script, doing a dry run.

Jiang Linyuan observed them covertly, terrified that the next second Yu Songsong would unleash a thunderbolt out of a clear sky and haul that junior away to be turned into nourishment.

Lin Yilin was absent-minded, secretly watching Jiang Linyuan.

Jiang Linyuan glanced back at Lin Yilin.

She hurriedly turned her head back, faced her computer, and started typing randomly with a clatter, pretending to be hard at work.

This little Yilin! Her disguise technique for slacking off at work is just too terrible!

Jiang Linyuan sighed.

After a while, Lin Yilin secretly peeked her little face out again, only to find Jiang Linyuan hadn't looked away.

Their eyes met, creating a bit of awkwardness.

"Little Yilin, if you have something to say, say it. Stop eye-fucking your senior here."

Jiang Linyuan said bluntly.

"That's not eye-fucking!"

Lin Yilin retorted stubbornly at first, then said somewhat hesitantly:

"Senior, is it because of me that you're not going to be the host?"

Huh? When did you become so cringe too?

Has Su Muzhi possessed you?

Jiang Linyuan gave her a surprised and doubtful look and said earnestly:

"Little Yilin, that statement is a bit average confidence. Promise me, don't become a middle-aged greasy woman, okay?"

"What middle-aged greasy woman?!"

Lin Yilin got annoyed, her little foot kicking Jiang Linyuan restlessly, fuming:

"Go chase after your Yu Songsong, I'll handle the work here."

"Little Yilin, you might just be the woman who could become my mother."

"You... you're gonna die! What... what nonsense are you spouting!"

The Binary Little Sister was once again flustered, her face red as she pushed Jiang Linyuan, shouting:

"Go away, go away!"

After forcibly driving Jiang Linyuan away, Lin Yilin stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her.

Finally, some peace and quiet.

She patted her own face, forcing herself not to look towards Jiang Linyuan's direction.

But her gaze still drifted over involuntarily.

He really went over.

She pulled her gaze back again, looked at the computer, and slowly worked on the PowerPoint.

Isn't it a bit too quiet again?

She thought.

...

"Xiao Su, have you managed to swindle or trick your way into getting Yu Songsong's Little X Book posting history?"

Jiang Linyuan messaged Su Muzhi while walking towards Yu Songsong.

"Jiang-classmate, don't use your gutter-level tactics to guess how others operate."

Su Muzhi replied quickly.

"What gutter-level! I, Jiang Linyuan, have always acted with honor and integrity in all my endeavors!"

Jiang Linyuan typed back righteously.

"Then show me your browser history."

Su Muzhi replied.

This damn cringe woman wants to freeload my resources, huh? Dream on!

"Send me fifty, I'll let you watch together tomorrow."

"Okay, okay."

Su Muzhi very generously sent a red envelope over.

Jiang Linyuan didn't dare accept it.

This is borderline pornographic!

"Let's talk business, stop messing around."

"Mhm, don't worry, Yu Songsong is quite normal, not the type of person you think."

Jiang Linyuan was somewhat suspicious; was this Su Muzhi deceiving the emperor?

"Don't doubt me, I'll push her account to you, see for yourself."

Soon after, Jiang Linyuan searched and found Yu Songsong's account.

He quickly browsed through it.

Good news: not an alchemist.

Bad news: damn, it's depression.

On her homepage, she had posted a large batch of copywriting lamenting the high-pressure life of senior year.

"My study pressure has been huge lately, and the reputation of being grade first makes it even harder to breathe."

"To meet the school's expectations, did I really do wrong by cheating on exams to get first place?"

"Without the halo of being grade first, I suffered cold violence from classmates and teachers."

"Chinese-style education, you've won, I'm depressed, are you satisfied now?"

The latest post title was "Because of my depression, my roommate and I had a huge conflict."

Reading through them all, Jiang Linyuan wore the expression of an old man, subway, phone.

Damn, this is also a legendary character.

According to Yu Songsong's posting history, her grades in senior year were exceptionally outstanding, coming first in every exam.

But she was caught cheating by a teacher during one exam, and from then on, her grades plummeted.

What's rather hard to bear is that in the report cards Yu Songsong attached, the subjects with the biggest drop in grades were all sciences.

Her liberal arts grades didn't fluctuate much, and she blamed the reason on her depression.

So depression is already powerful enough to reverse mathematical formulas and theorems?

To be honest, Jiang Linyuan felt Yu Songsong's previous grade first place was probably obtained by cheating.

She just got caught once, which drew attention, and naturally, her true colors were revealed.

One invigilation ruined my dream of being grade first.

We'll meet at the peak!

But it must be said, this Yu Songsong is quite a character.

Cheating so many times and only slipping up once, if you were in ancient times, you'd be a Thief Saint too.

This Xingnan University, how come there are so many legendary characters?

Recalling the people he'd come into contact with recently, Jiang Linyuan couldn't help but complain.

Cringe woman Su Muzhi, little crazy woman Zhang Juntang, streetwise sister Zhuang Yan...

Too many to count, simply too many!

There are no normal humans left here.

Ancient universities had many poets; modern universities have simplified that, they have many pieces of shit.

Jiang Linyuan tried hard to digest the information, heaved a long sigh, and looked towards Yu Songsong.

Depressed Thief Saint it is then, still better than an alchemist feminist.

But this look made him lose his composure again.

"This part, it should be you picking up the line."

Yu Songsong looked at the shy boy, saying somewhat discontentedly.

"But... but on the script, this is your line."

The boy said softly.

"Geez, we're just going over the script, why so serious?"

Yu Songsong's brows slowly relaxed as she said with a smile:

"I can't remember this line, you say it when the time comes, okay?"

The boy was clearly a little virgin, blushing and stammering as he nodded.

"Alright then, let's continue."

Yu Songsong smiled and began reciting lines.

But halfway through, the boy reminded again:

"That's not how it is on the script. If you say it like that, I won't know how to pick up my line."

Yu Songsong sighed; people who are so nitpicky are really annoying.

"You get what I mean, isn't that enough? We'll have to go off-script anyway when the time comes, just be more adaptable."

The boy struggled internally but still didn't speak up, just nodded silently.

Geez, why am I paired with someone like this, so boring and dull.

Yu Songsong felt somewhat helpless. She looked up and saw Jiang Linyuan standing to the side.

She smiled and ran over:

"Senior Jiang, what brings you over here?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Just came to see the grace of our female host."

"Geez, don't mention it, memorizing the script is so hard."

Yu Songsong swayed her body while complaining, her... assets trembling slightly.

Jiang Linyuan kept his gaze straight, smiling and nodding:

"Must be tired from going over the script. Want me to go buy you some water to moisten your throats?"

"Mhm mhm, I'll go with Senior Jiang then, just right for a little break."

Yu Songsong smiled and nodded.

The boy opened his mouth, struggled for a moment, then shouted loudly to Jiang Linyuan:

"I'll go too."

Jiang Linyuan looked at him.

There was a bit of unwillingness in the boy's eyes, mixed with a hint of hostility.

Oh? He has feelings for Yu Songsong and sees me as a love rival?

This junior really doesn't know what's good for him.

Can't seize the moment when the two of them are working on the script together, but gets all anxious and worried when it's time to relax and take a break.

It's like choosing to grasp the immediate... in a rather awkward way when faced with the choice between seizing pleasure and seizing the moment.
