Gu Shengyin asked, "So if I said something like that to you, how would you react? Would you run out crying?"
Sisi thought for a moment, "I probably wouldnāt cry, right? Iād most likely just ignore you."
Gu Shengyin nodded, that was a normal reaction.
For a normal girl, being told sheās disliked by someone of the same sex, even someone as gentle-natured as Sisi, would at most respond with a cold face. If someone with a fiery temper, they might just directly start a fight with the person.
Running out with tears of sadness or something like that, this kind of scene is clearly unusual.
The first class was with the Troupe leader, and Chang Ru was still somewhere nursing her wounded heart.
The Troupe leader always paid close attention to obedient students, quickly asking her what had happened.
Then, as Gu Shengyin expected, Gu Shengyin was called to the office by the teacher.
In the office, Gu Shengyin saw Chang Ru with red eyes.
Obviously, this good student had been found by the Troupe leader.
The Troupe leader was softly comforting Chang Ru and turned serious when seeing Gu Shengyin: "Zhong Changhuan, classmates should be helpful to one another. Look at what youāve done to Chang Ru to make her so upset."
Gu Shengyin remained calm.
"Teacher, I simply told the class monitor that I donāt like her."
The Troupe leader clearly hadnāt expected her to be so forthright.
Gu Shengyin was even more straightforward.
She looked at the Troupe leader, saying earnestly, "Teacher, the class monitor and I just donāt get along. I simply donāt like her. Thereās nothing that can be done about it."
"I told the class monitor that I find her annoying. She probably feels the same about me. Iām a bad student, so itās better not to affect a good student like the class monitor."
Chang Ru, with red-rimmed eyes, looked at Gu Shengyin: "Changhuan, I donāt find you annoying..."
Gu Shengyin interrupted her: "Please call me Zhong Changhuan, weāre not that familiar."
Tears, which Chang Ru had just managed to dry, started falling again.
Watching this scene, the Troupe leader was speechless: "..."
Even in the office, unwilling to put on a front in front of her, she truly believed that Zhong Changhuan really didnāt like Chang Ru.
This kind of thing isnāt something you can change by scolding her.
The Troupe leader looked at Chang Ru, still crying, and sighed.
In the end, Gu Shengyin was punished with a weekās worth of cleaning duty for not being friendly to classmates.
Strictly speaking, thereās no real right or wrong in such matters.
But in a teacherās eyes, the well-behaved student she likes and the problematic student who always gives her headaches can never be treated equally.
Gu Shengyin didnāt mind.
The effect she wanted was for everyone, including the teacher, to know that she didnāt like Chang Ru.
She glanced at the Troupe leader and Chang Ru in the office, speaking in a flat tone: "If thereās nothing else, teacher, Iāll be leaving now as class is about to start."
If Chang Ru were a girl with strong self-respect, sheād probably hate her now.
But as far as Gu Shengyin was concerned, sheād rather have someone like Chang Ru hate her than like her.
Gu Shengyin returned to the classroom, Sisi looked a bit nervously at her: "Are you okay, Changhuan?"
Gu Shengyin shook her head with a smile: "Whatās there to be concerned about? Itās not like I did anything to her."
Sisi thought about it and agreed, also feeling that the class monitor was indeed a bit too sensitive.
During the third period, Chang Ru finally returned to the classroom.
She didnāt even glance at Gu Shengyin, clearly still holding a grudge against her.
After the fourth period, Gu Shengyin checked with the system and went straight to the cafeteria.
In fact, even without the systemās reminder, she could find Lin Ze at a glance.
Some people just possess a charm that makes them stand out in a crowd.
