Rebirth Merchant: Wonderful Space Hunting for Military Officer

Chapter 20 Return to School

While wearing a clean uniform with the combination of white and blues, as well as a vibrant red scarf; carrying a backpack while walking on the broad street and listening to the sounds of a bicycle’s bell ringing, as well as student’s greetings and laughter along the way. Song Ye had missed and desired all of these more than once during her hellish days being an assassin, but as time goes on, she felt numb to it all as all these fleeting feelings were long thrown away.

Song Ye had never thought that she would have another chance of going through all of this again.

Walking along the long broad street on a winter day, the dry leaves made crunching sounds as they were stepped on. Song Ye then carried her bag and walked through the blue gate. What entered her eyes was an academic building clad in white ceramics with black lines along it that made the building seems small and old, but at the same time, nostalgic.

“Hey, look! What a nice face he has, I wonder which class does that student belong to?”

“I’ve never seen him before, is he a transfer student?”

From the moment Song Ye appeared in front of the gate, a number of girls had gathered together and discussed about her. The fair and beautiful face with short hair that appeared in front of others for sure will cause rumors and gossips to go around.

Not even a class period had ended and all the classes of third years had known about a boy with an exquisite face and was a third year from San Zhong Junior High.

No matter how much pressure they were under, the tendency of boys and girls in the prime of their youth chasing after things that are beautiful was endless.

Song Ye in her past life was someone that was timid and had low self-esteem. She was basically invisible no matter where she went; and this was the first time she had attracted the attention of so many in the school; but even with that, she was still unperturbed by all of it.

In her eyes, at the age of fifteen, they were all children. Receiving the admiration of children was not really something worth to be excited about.

Following the map in her memory, she headed towards the third year’s fifth classroom. Her appearance had caused the girls in the classroom to scream.

“Ahhh!! It’s that boy! What is he doing here?”

Tang Mei Ling that was in her seat felt her heart trembling when she heard the ruckus. When she raised her head, she purposely brushed her hair behind her ear and showed a sweet smile. She was confident as she was the belle of the school and no men can escape her charm.

But when she saw the silhouette and face at the door, she froze up on that very spot; the smile on her face stiffened, the feeling of surprised could be seen from her eyes.

Following that, the jaws of all the students dropped.

That was because the handsome boy that had appeared walked into the classroom and directly headed to the seat located at the back row.

Over there, was the seat of Song Ye who was alienated by everyone in the class.

When everyone was still confused by the situation, Tang Mei Ling stood up and walked towards that seat.

Song Ye had received the glance that was filled with malicious intent earlier but she didn’t even want to be bothered by it. The lesson had already been taught during their time on the train.

But it seems that someone just had to go and forget about it and was asking for another lesson, when they walked over fiercely.

Song Ye had wanted to place her bag on the table but stopped her movement when she looked at her table. At that moment, Tang Mei Ling had walked up to her and ordered her arrogantly,

“You, come out.”

Song Ye raised her head to stare at her ugly face that had two red spots on it. It was a wonder why the standard of San Zhong’s belle was this low, and why was Song Ye so afraid of her at that time.

When a person’s perspective changes, the way they view things will also change; and so Song Ye had just completely ignored Tang Mei Ling’s order publicly.

Looking at the person in front of her packing her things as if nothing had happened and had no intention of reacting to her, the color of her face had then turned scarlet due to anger and the volume of her voice unintentionally went up,

“I told you to stand up, are you deaf or what? Song Ye!”

When Song Ye’s name was called, the class then let out a shocked murmur.

Was the handsome boy that was currently standing at the corner of the classroom really that filthy, smelly and ignored Song Ye?

The gap between the comparison picture of before and after was too huge for them to believe.

But when they looked closely, at the androgynous face, the gentleness belonging to girls could only can be seen. But due to Song Ye’s aura that was too cold, that gentleness was then covered by it.

Tang Mei Ling had screamed her full name to get Song Ye to react, but all she get was,

“Who are you to order me around?”

The voice that was cold to the extreme had caused the class to go out of control, like water dripping into a pot of hot oil.

Quite a number of meddlesome boys then whistled,

“Wow, never would have thought that the sandbag would eventually get mad one day; now this is what I call a good drama. Hey, class rep, everyone here are all students, what right do you have to order Song Ye around?”

“Shut up, Wang Tie Chuan. For someone whose ranked last in the class, you do have the nerve to speak.”

Tang Mei Ling loudly scoffed. As long as there is a class, the existence of two extremities ranked as the first and the last will always exist; and as the one that was ranked the first of the year, Tang Mei Ling for sure had the right to reprimand students with bad results such as Wang Tie Chuan.

“Tch, everyone is equal, and I’m only having my freedom of speech, do you even have the right to overlook that?”

Wang Tie Chuan was also someone that had a sharp tongue, that sentence had left Tang Mei Ling unable to refute anything.

Thinking back, all of these happened due to Song Ye. Looking at her face now, Tang Mei Ling was so angry she began trembling and raised her hands high, slamming it onto the table,

“Song….”

Before the ‘Ye’ was able to leave her mouth, Tang Mei Ling’s face stiffened once again.

She lowered her head, looking at the place she slammed her hands on was right in the middle of the table. The sticky sensation that she felt was the strong glue that they had applied this morning on Song Ye’s table to prank her.

“Ahhh!!!”

The pain from tearing her hand off the strong glue had Tang Mei Ling screaming loudly, to the point the teacher that was in the staff room came running to the classroom.

Upon contacting human’s skin, strong glue becomes dry fast. And so, when the teacher entered the classroom, what she saw was the hand that was inseparable from the table.

“What happened?”

The homeroom teacher was a single woman in her thirties, and so she was in a constant state of anger. With incidents happening right on the first day of the semester, her face darkened to the point it looks like the bottom part of a pot.

Tang Mei Ling right now felt like crying. Afraid that the impression the teacher had of her went down and looking at Song Ye’s calm face, she then quickly pointed her fingers at Song Ye,

“Teacher, Song Ye had applied strong glue on the table and caused my hand to stick on it.”

“What?”

It was also the first time the teacher was able to see Song Ye’s face and was astonished. Soon after, she walked over and upon seeing the hand that had inflamed and was stuck there immobile, she then felt shocked and turned to scold Song Ye,

“Song Ye, why did you cause a scene right after entering class? Don’t you know that these things are not used to fool around? If by chance anything happened to Mei Ling’s hand, can you even take responsibility for it?”

The act of pushing the responsibilities off without even solving the problems on hand. Song Ye knew that was the homeroom teacher’s decision.

But she was also not one to be messed around with and she pointed to the table in front of her,

“Teacher, please look carefully, whose table is this. Even if I were to hit my head and mistook the strong glue as correction tape to play around with, Class Rep Tang also didn’t have the need to rush over and stick her hand on it.”
