Chapter 10: Mei, Isolated and Helpless

What benefit could there possibly be in tormenting Raiden Mei until her mind collapsed? The homeroom teacher couldn't understand.

She wanted to help Raiden Mei, but superiors were pressuring her in this regard, forbidding her from lending Raiden Mei any assistance.

"What should I do?" The homeroom teacher's face showed a conflicted expression.

Just then, a sudden knock echoed.

"Hello, Teacher."

A handsome and refined young man stood at the doorway, greeting her. It was Su Moqian.

"Oh, you must be the new auditing student."

The homeroom teacher seemed to recall something, her eyes lighting up. She enthusiastically beckoned him over.

"Come in, Classmate Su, please come in."

The homeroom teacher suddenly remembered that this new auditing student had been arranged by a school board member, who specifically requested he be placed in Raiden Mei's class.

From what she understood, that school board member's influence was considerable.

If Su Moqian could help Mei in her stead, she would feel more at ease...

With this thought, the homeroom teacher very warmly led Su Moqian to the podium and smiled.

"For the upcoming period, I will be your homeroom teacher."

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you."

"Um, I actually do need your help with something, Teacher," Su Moqian said with a slight smile.

"I'm new here and don't know any of the classmates yet. Could you trouble me with a class roster? I'd like to get acquainted with everyone."

Su Moqian hadn't forgotten his objective.

He had to build good relationships with the classmates first, making it easier to gather information.

"No problem, Teacher. I'll send the contact list to your phone shortly," the homeroom teacher nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher," Su Moqian replied with a smile.

Then, he turned and quickly scanned the classmates, soon finding Raiden Mei sitting in the front row.

Wearing a white school uniform and with long purple hair tied into a high ponytail, Raiden Mei stared straight ahead with a stern expression, appearing incredibly cold.

Anyone else would simply assume that the Me Corp heiress had suddenly become aloof.

But Su Moqian, who knew her well, understood that whenever Mei put on such an expression, she was definitely hiding something.

Upon noticing the confusion and grievance hidden in her eyes, Su Moqian's gaze sharpened. He surveyed all the students in the classroom.

They had no grudges against each other and were all classmates, yet more than one person shot cold glances at Raiden Mei in the front row.

After discovering this situation, Su Moqian couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

It seemed Raiden Mei's current situation at school was far worse than even her parents imagined.

Raiden Mei, now back in her seat, hadn't noticed the arrival of a new classmate, nor did she care to.

In her eyes, even a new classmate would be just as indifferent as everyone else.

After all, it wasn't just the classmates in this particular class targeting her; the entire academy was like this.

The only person she cared about now was Su Moqian.

Everyone else was irrelevant.

"Heh, even if Moqian really came, I'd still have to keep my distance from him..."

With this thought, Raiden Mei couldn't help but sigh.

She was truly isolated and helpless at Senba Academy now.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself for this isolation and mockery upon learning about the future, she found it far more unbearable than she had imagined when she was actually in this environment.

If it were in the past, even if she faced such a situation, Raiden Mei would never have wavered.

Because she knew that no matter what, Su Moqian would steadfastly stay by her side.

But now, for the sake of her plan, she had already broken up with Su Moqian.

This period of loneliness could only be borne by her alone...

Thinking these thoughts, Raiden Mei felt the grievance in her eyes becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

She hastily closed her eyes, unwilling to let others see her losing composure.

But just then, the teacher's voice suddenly rang out:

"This is our new auditing student, Su Moqian. Let's give him a round of applause to welcome him!"

"Who?"

The moment she heard the name, Raiden Mei's eyes snapped open, and she looked towards the podium.

A handsome young man with a clear and refined appearance stood there, introducing himself in a gentle voice:

"Hello, classmates. My name is Su Moqian. I'm from Shenzhou. Please take care of me."

He then bowed amidst the ensuing applause.

Seeing this familiar young man, Raiden Mei couldn't help but feel confused:

"Why is Moqian in my class? Could it be..."

Raiden Mei subconsciously assumed he was here for her.

That's right, she hadn't given him any reason when they broke up.

She hadn't even replied to a single message he'd sent, so he must have been incredibly anxious.

But even so, he wouldn't transfer to my class directly, would he?

"Indeed, even after how I treated him, Moqian still cares about me so much."

Raiden Mei lowered her head, her right hand gently resting on her chest.

Just then, the teacher's voice could be heard again:

"Let me see, the seat next to Raiden Mei is still empty. Is it okay for Su-kun to sit there?"

Hearing the teacher's arrangement, Su Moqian smiled and nodded:

"Of course, no problem."

However, while smiling, he couldn't help but feel a chill upon noticing Mei's current state.

Even though Qianyu Academy had single desks, no one wanted to sit next to Raiden Mei?

Su Moqian didn't understand people, nor could he spout any famous quotes, but he simply felt disgusted by it all.

"He's here!"

Hearing that the homeroom teacher was actually arranging Su Moqian to sit next to her, Raiden Mei's heart couldn't help but rejoice.

Great, if he's next to me, I don't have to worry about him getting close to other girls.

However, while rejoicing, she couldn't help but worry:

"What should I do? Moqian came for me. If he asks about the reason for our breakup later, how should I answer him?"

Raiden Mei deeply loved him, so she was afraid of revealing any flaws if Su Moqian were to ask her.

Thinking more boldly, if Su Moqian were to forcefully make a move, she might not be able to hold on.

"No, for the sake of our future, I must hold on no matter what!"

Raiden Mei shook her head, making up her mind.

No matter how Su Moqian tried to talk to her later, she would act completely indifferent and absolutely not reveal any weakness!

With her resolve strengthened, Raiden Mei immediately sat up straight and began to read.

But even so, Mei's mind wasn't on her book. Instead, she kept stealing glances at Su Moqian out of the corner of her eye.

Every time she noticed any movement from him, Raiden Mei would immediately heighten her vigilance.

Chapter 11: Mei: Stay Away From Him

Raiden Mei held on like that for the entire class.

However, until the end of the class, Su Moqian had been looking at the blackboard and attending class, showing no intention of striking up a conversation.

It was as if he had truly come here just to study.

This outcome made Raiden Mei greatly confused:

"Strange, what's going on with Moqian? Isn't he here for me, his ex-girlfriend?"

Thinking this, Mei's heart began to waver.

From Raiden Mei's perspective, Su Moqian was just looking at the blackboard and attending class, but in reality, it wasn't like that.

Although Su Moqian had a calm personality, with his ex-girlfriend right beside him, how could he possibly attend class as if nothing had happened?

As an ordinary young man, it was impossible for his heart to be calm; he was simply deliberately trying not to look at Mei.

Because Su Moqian knew very well that in the current situation, the worst thing to do was to pester her.

Only by staying rational could he gain the upper hand.

If the confrontation between him and Raiden Mei were a war, then he had just transferred to Mei's class, so she would definitely be on high alert!

Therefore, the best approach now was to feign weakness and gather information from other classmates first.

When Raiden Mei let her guard down, he could then indirectly probe for the reason, which was clearly the method with the highest success rate.

"Ring ring--"

Finally, the dismissal bell rang, and lunchtime arrived.

As Raiden Mei took out her lunchbox from her bag, she secretly glanced at Su Moqian out of the corner of her eye.

"Damn it, it's already lunchtime, but why does Moqian still have no intention of talking to me? This isn't how I imagined it..."

At this moment, Mei's heart began to panic, and she even felt an urge to speak up and ask him.

But soon, Raiden Mei's reason suppressed this impulse.

"No, I must hold back. If I'm the one to make the first move, it would be too ridiculous."

Raiden Mei bit her lip lightly, then withdrew her gaze, preparing to eat lunch first.

Just then, she suddenly noticed several girls from the back row walking towards her.

"Tch, here they come again?" Raiden Mei pouted.

She knew these people were just here to mock her again, and they always talked about those things next to her, as if afraid she wouldn't hear.

But she was mentally prepared; no matter how they mocked her, Mei's heart wouldn't stir in the slightest.

"Heh, it doesn't matter what people who don't care think."

Just as Raiden Mei was thinking this, she suddenly realized that the girls' target wasn't her, but Su Moqian!

In just a moment of stunned silence, Su Moqian was already surrounded by the girls in the class.

"Wow, I really didn't expect Su-kun to be from Shenzhou! I heard that boys from Shenzhou are especially caring towards girls!"

"Yeah, unlike the male chauvinism we have here."

"Speaking of which, Su-kun, do you have a girlfriend? You're so handsome, you must have one, right?"

"If any girl could date Su-kun, she'd definitely treat him exceptionally well!"

Raiden Mei: "..."

Raiden Mei's defenses crumbled.
