With knitted brows, she didn't say a word.
She lowered her head, intending to continue unwrapping that piece of strawberry milk taffy.
As a result, an arm stretched over and snatched the milk taffy away.
She watched with wide eyes as he ripped open the packaging and gobbled up the milk taffy.
Her lips parted and she said with watery eyes,
"That's my taffy."
The voice was soft, like a feather tickling a person's heart.
Jiang Ran gave her a side-glance.
He stuffed his hands into his pocket and scrutinized her.
His indolent voice caused the evil aura around him to dwindle,
"You finally speak. And here I was afraid you were mute."
The scent of milk wafted into the air from his mouth.
He… hated eating sweets.
A while back, he had watched this girl lower her head to peel open a candy single-mindedly, without saying a word.
He also had no idea what his intentions were when he snatched it and gobbled it up.
He knew that such behavior portrayed him as a rude gangster.
But he did it anyway.
Why?
No specific reason.
He just felt like doing it.
The two of them exchanged glances and there was nothing else to say between them.
After that, Jiang Ran's friends hollered at him from the side.
"Brother Jiang, let's go."
That person stuffed his hands into his pocket. Before he left, he even passed his judgment on the flavor of the taffy.
"Not great."
After which, he turned around and made a grand exit.
Su Yan remained rooted in place. She glanced at the black tie that was wound around her arm, a stark contrast to her fair and exquisite skin.
Walking onwards.
She really was about to be late.
When she turned the corner, she discovered that, apart from the person just now, there were many others lying on the ground.
There were another 7 or 8 boys dressed in the same Imperial High school uniform lying on the floor, each filled with an expression of agony.
So… Could it be that that guy called Jiang Ran wasn't bullying others, but rather, retaliating after being assaulted by these dudes?
Her footsteps didn't dawdle as she walked onward. She pinched the space between her brows with one hand as a means to relieve the headache brought about by her attempt at comprehending the situation.
She finally made it to Imperial High School and, by the time she entered, the school bell had already rung.
Little Flower System reminded her in a small voice:
"Host, it's Grade 2, Class 3. Your classroom is at the end of the corridor on the 2nd floor."
Su Yan followed Little Flower's instructions and walked to her classroom.
When she saw the sign plate belonging to Grade 2 Class 2, she blinked her eyes before pushing the door open and stepping in.
Every single student was seated neatly inside. They watched as Su Yan pushed the door open and walked straight to her seat, completely ignoring the teacher in front.
The teacher became infuriated at once and his face flushed red.
"Su Yan!"
The girl who had been shouted at immediately paused.
In a very soft voice:
"Teacher"
Following which, she heard the teacher shout with an ashen face,
"Don't you know how to report your attendance the moment you step in?! You're still acting so arrogant even though you've arrived late, do you even respect me as your teacher?! Get out!"
When Su Yan heard this, she nodded her head.
"Okay."
Then, she walked out.
When that teacher noticed Su Yan's sheer lack of respect for elders as well as her unrepentant attitude, he became even angrier,
"Stand outside the door for this entire lesson, don't you move!"
As such, upon her arrival into this world, Su Yan was unexpectedly punished to stand outside the classroom door as an exhibit for the passing teachers and students to gawk at.
Little Flower's faint voice sounded:
"Host, why did you charge straight in just now?"
As a considerate system, it was completely bewildered by its host's actions.
Host was so obedient and docile, it definitely had to get to know her better to prevent her from suffering losses.
Su Yan was puzzled.
"Why not?"
"Er…"
As a system, it was stunned by the question the host posed.
After pondering it for a long time, Little Flower responded:
"According to the rules of the 21st Century, if you're late for class, you must report your arrival when you enter the class doors."
