Shift! The Side-Character Heroine

Chapter 765: Disgrace

Luo Chen felt utterly helpless. When he saw his “condemned” love letter pasted in all its glory on the blackboard, he then recalled the folly of this body’s former occupant...

Possessing this parallel world’s “Luo Chen” was like a hell-level difficulty starting point. At least he would not repeat this body’s previous mistakes. He knew his place, and he knew all about unrealistic expectations. This girl would have been a waste of his time.

He did not think that Yuan Shawu would possibly have any feelings for him. Instead, he firmly believed that Yuan Shawu was a really kind girl. She would have stood up for anyone else in the classroom...

This was a whole new level of misunderstanding, a good one perhaps.

His predecessor was obviously unpopular. He lacked courage, he lacked charm, and just about anyone would pick on him. Even after all that, he actually had the courage to write a love letter in the “pursuit of love”? Has she ever heard of Fish Leong’s [1] “Courage”?

Luo Chen was highly ashamed of his past self. Fortunately, he was nothing like the previous Luo Chen. If not, he would have been spared from this low blow. Who knows, Luo Chen might even live after this.

It should be known that every person had an ‘enough is enough’ point. Also, there was a person’s spiritual pillar and ultimately, a person’s dignity. If these traits were lost, a person might lose all hope...

Of course, Luo Chen would be furious about how his predecessor had behaved. What kind of girl did he like? This girl had no sense of propriety at all. Was it proper for her to ‘publicly execute’ her admirer?

Yuan Shawu also saw Luo Chen’s love letter. As a person who had already received countless love letters in the real world, she could instantly deduce the quality of this love letter. In the language of the ‘love letter-expert’ Han Leng, this was not a love letter. It was a break-up letter. When this letter is sent out, the girl would feel nothing in her heart. On the contrary, she might even laugh at it. The best case scenario was to have it instantly disposed of. Worst case scenario? You’re looking at it. Its recipient would not be laughing alone, she would get an entire room full of people to join her, if you were lucky.

However, Yuan Shawu did not laugh at him. She took down the letter, and wiped off the words “a toad wishes to eat swan meat.”

As a result, the “prettiest girl in the class,” Xie Wanting almost blew up with rage. In reality, she felt that she had been struck in the face when she saw Luo Chen and Yuan Shawu walking closely together into the classroom.

This was because she heard other students saying –

“Luo Chen, what a lad. How did you get so close to this beautiful girl?”

“Who is this beautiful girl? Is she a transfer student? She looks prettier than Xie Wanting!”

“This girl looks quite familiar, but I just cannot put a name to that face.”

“Speaking of which, did the cunning Luo Chen plan this out to humiliate Xie Wanting? Luo Chen has such a beautiful chick by his side. Why would he write a love letter to Xie Wanting?”

“Ah! Luo Chen not that complicated. You could read him like a book. At least those who could not bear to bully Luo Chen are not all bad. But those who would step on Luo Chen just for the fun of it, tsk tsk. What an off-putting character...”

“Isn’t it true that bitch, Xie Wanting, was backed by that person? What “prettiest girl of the class” title? Why do I feel that she had made it up herself? Those gums are horrifying!”

...

Of course, it was impossible for Xie Wanting to get angry at those gossiping students. However, she could direct all her fury upon Luo Chen. Yes, she had powerful backings, more than that little punk Zhang Jun. She was beautiful enough to gain the favor of some big shots, so she could have things her way!

What was a big bully? Of course, it was those with entourages of their own. At the same time, they had to be wealthy, and it would help if they knew some adult mobsters on the streets.

Of course, the little punks were still afraid of their teachers, unlike the bigger fishes. However, they would not confront the teachers directly. Nothing could stop them from being expelled. Good job, now you get an early ticket to society. You might even make a name for yourself out there.

Well, the big bullies were aware of the luxury of freedom that this little school could provide. However, in society, they would not be able to stir up trouble as they did before.

Therefore, their behavior in school would never go overboard, up to the most that money could buy. As long as they were a hair-breadth short of getting expelled, that was fine.

Xie Wanting felt that she had done her best to embarrass Luo Chen, but instead, she had been the one humiliated. This was clearly the fault of the girl next to Luo Chen!

Xie Wanting went up to Yuan Shawu and snarled, “Which class are you from? Why did you touch the things in our class? Get lost!”

Yuan Shawu could not be bothered to waste her breath on this thing. She turned around and walked towards her seat. Then, in front of everyone’s eyes, she calmly took her place.

Now, everyone had different expressions on their faces, and some were even producing gasps. Are you kidding me?!

That’s Yuan Shawu’s seat!

This beautiful girl was actually Yuan Shawu?

Something seemed to have dawned upon the students. Everyone finally recognized Yuan Shawu’s face, but how was it possible? This beautiful chick was that gloomy otaku, Yuan Shawu!

Yuan Shawu was clearly a side character. How did changing her hairstyle change everything? She could even surpass Xie Wanting!

Yuan Shawu flashed a smile at Xie Wanting, the arrogant, ‘holier than thou’ kind. It was quite obvious that she was provoking her. But damn, that smile was beautiful. On the other hand, the “prettiest girl in the class” had a smile that could expose what you ate last night!

At that moment, Xie Wanting reached her boiling point. She wanted to smash that beautiful face up!

However, at that moment, Luo Chen started speaking. The love letter had not even mentioned Xie Wanting’s name, his pitiful past self had only used “You” throughout the entire letter. He suddenly had a bright idea. “This love letter of mine was not actually meant for you. I like someone else actually. So... sorry, this toad does not wish to eat your swan meat”.

After that, he calmly tore the love letter. He was grateful towards Yuan Shawu. If she had not entered the classroom with him, he might have to undergo a long, long day. At least, this was better. Now, Xie Wanting was the butt of the joke!
