Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess-Chapter 165: Ye Xinya (7)

Jiang Li raised a brow at the boy. He was sure the latter was the helpful guy earlier supposed to receive the same punishment as the girl who gave him some food to satiate his hunger. ’Did I bully this guy or what?’

When he tried to recall stuff... Oh, well, it seemed he and this one got into a fight a few days ago because he got away from punishment after bootlicking a teacher. He winced internally.

The boy was correct. Jing Mo, his current Original, was an annoying character through and through. In order to get to the teachers’ good side, he usually buttered up to them or used his fellow classmates as scapegoats. Last time, when he accidentally ruined a basket of origami, he pushed the blame on this boy who then had his meals cut off for an entire day. Considering all the things that Jing Mo had done, it would be no surprise if one of these kids punch him in the face. He was basically a traitor.

’I feel like the last time I was in a modern world, the bastard system transmigrated me into a sick character too...’

The one he called a bastard felt indignant and immediately reasoned.

System: Host, I’m not a bastard. Jing Mo is not sick too... He’s perfectly fine... And his wish is very easy, to escape and live an honest life outside.

’Oh... I see.’

A second later, Jiang Li gloomily frowned at himself for not noticing the system could speak. He muted the foreign being in his head. He truly disliked it when something just suddenly talks in his brain. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"You’re a... teacher’s pet?"

Suspicion-filled gazes went to him yet he just shrugged. However, deep inside when he heard them asking if he was a teacher’s pet, even though the Original truly was, he still felt insulted.

Even when he was in the ancient world, he never bootlicked the male lead emperor. So he said, "Don’t make me laugh. Only an idiot will become one. Not to mention those crooks are not even qualified teachers."

Jiang Li took a large bite of the bar. Remembering the question was thrown at him due to the male lead, he annoyingly turned to his right and said to the male lead. "You asked how I did it, right? You look smart. How about you guess how I lead the principal to gather people there."

Han Su answered with mild irritation, "I wouldn’t have asked you if I know."

The classmate who helped the girl looked meaningfully at the guy who was now throwing the wrapper away after finishing the whole bar. "I’m guessing you either blackmail him somehow or trick him into it. But most likely, you’re in cahoots with them. The escape had been very smooth and easy. Who knows, you might have a tracker on you." Afterward, he looked at everyone. "Schoolmates. How about we separate from this guy since we are not sure if he’s really with us or not?"

"That... seems not okay?" The person who spoke was one of the six from the black house.

"But he makes sense." The others were exchanging glances with each other. And they were giving Jiang Li a complicated gaze. Many were his classmates. When he checked, it seemed the majority truly didn’t have a good impression of him.

"After all I did?" Annoyance was starting to show on Jiang Li’s face. He gave the person who was inciting the others a glance and thought that this guy, despite being a good-looking nerd, had a huge mental problem.

The other seemingly noticed the sharp gazes so he raised his voice and replied in an accusing tone, "Jing Mo. Are you saying we can’t suspect or doubt you? On what ground? What if the teachers were just conducting another survival game and you were tasked to do something for them? This escape could be a setup so why can’t we be wary of you?"

"Your proof." he simply demanded.

The busybody girl from earlier admitted that everyone already had a guess about his actions. So what was with the questioning?

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes at the other guy and through the vigorous fire from the distance, he finally noticed that something was not adding up about the boy. He was too thin and his height was below average for a male... The face was also too small.

"Proof, you ask?" The odd boy stood up and walked toward him with unfriendly eyes. "Didn’t I already say it, the escape was suspiciously easy? Also, don’t think I didn’t know you told the six from the black house to use that path. Why did you say that? Wouldn’t the school people easily catch up to us and find us if we take that route? So what’s your motive?"

Instead of admiring the series of questions thrown at him, he began pondering over the added abnormalities that he managed to observe as the subject went closer.

’Nothing’s bobbing on the throat, so no adam’s apple... But even if this person reasoned it is due to slow growth development, his voice is still too soft for a boy, and even if it’s not the real issue, it’s still just obviously faked, his tone was purposely lowered... I didn’t notice these at first since even in the Original’s memories, this person doesn’t talk a lot.’

Mirth and admiration danced in his eyes upon realizing this. The ’boy’ actually escaped from his hawkish eyes. Incredible. Was it her acting? Or was this person just excellent at staying low-key? Probably the latter.

However, the real reason for his admiration was that he realized she did all to protect herself.

True to the intention, if she looked like a mediocre guy, of course, no pervert instructor would take an interest in her. And even though the mediocre-looking male students were not exempted from corporal punishments, it was still better than getting sullied or shamed. He didn’t know how many girls on the campus applied the same tactic as her, but he hoped Jiang Ying Yue’s incarnation was one of them... Otherwise, he’d hope this person was her.

He amusedly told himself, ’Wow, now I know to what extent my stupidity is, I should have checked the profiles more. She could be posturing herself as a man and even changed her appearance the moment she realized what kind of place she got sent to. Why did I forget she’s a lot smarter than me?’
