Xu Yingying already had a preliminary plan, while Yuan Xiaoling on the other side was still spreading some false statements about Xu Yingying in her own way.

The original heroine is known for being introverted and reserved, even her classmates rarely interacting with her. Similarly, upon arriving in this mission world, Xu Yingying hasn't established much connection with her classmates. Consequently, she has no idea how she should be perceived in the classroom.

To make matters worse, Xu Yingying was unaware that her image in the class had been severely damaged by Yuan Xiaoling. Yuan Xiaoling had been intentionally or unintentionally spreading false rumors about Xu Yingying, giving her classmates a negative impression of her. Most of those who had troubled her had no direct contact with her, but were instead incited by Yuan Xiaoling's words. This gradually marginalized Xu Yingying in the class, akin to being isolated by everyone. So even if Xu Yingying wanted to change now, it wouldn't happen overnight.

In this dilemma, Xu Yingying found a possible breakthrough point: Lin Xiumin.

Lin Xiumin is the only person in the class, besides Yuan Xiaoling, who has definitely had direct contact with the original novel's heroine. Xu Yingying hopes to build a good relationship with Lin Xiumin and overcome her isolation within the class. With this first person standing by her side, she believes she'll surely find a second and a third. As long as she's no longer alone, the situation will become less difficult to change.

Fan Weile on the side was watching Xu Yingying quietly. He found that Xu Yingying seemed to have entered a state of meditation.

Her eyes were focused and peaceful, as if she was the only one left in the world.

Fan Weile secretly sighed in his heart: "How can she completely enter a world where she is not affected?"

He couldn't help but recall the scene when they met in the morning. Was she so calm and composed at that time?

Fan Weile suddenly realized that he seemed to have never observed others so carefully as he did now.

He began to wonder if he was so fascinated by the person in front of him because he could enter his world without any hesitation?

He thought back to his past experiences with other people, but couldn't find a similar feeling.

Fan Weile was deeply attracted to Xu Yingying. He felt that she had a unique charm.

When he saw Xu Yingying frowning, he couldn't help but wonder what was bothering her;

And when he saw the corners of her mouth turn up, he wondered what made her so happy.

Every expression and movement of hers was like a painting, which made him involuntarily want to explore the mysteries within.

Fan Weile realized that this feeling was unprecedented.

He began to wonder why he felt this way about his deskmate. Was it just curiosity?

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately shook his head to deny it.

After all, this was their first meeting, and he must be interested in her because he had never met this type of person before. Maybe he was just curious about the feeling of being able to enter a state of meditation.

Fan Weile decided to slowly observe and understand Xu Yingying. He believed that he could find the reason for his feeling about her.

Although the two people sat next to each other, their thoughts seemed to come from two different worlds. As they were lost in thought, time passed unnoticed, and suddenly the afternoon school bell rang.

The sound of the teacher entering the classroom interrupted their thoughts and pulled them back to reality. It was not until the afternoon bell rang again that Xu Yingying realized that the day's classes were over.

Xu Yingying secretly pondered her plan to talk to Lin Xiumin alone after school. She had been thinking about it over and over in her mind all afternoon, and finally made up her mind.

Xu Yingying was lost in memories of last week's events. After she sincerely apologized to Lin Xiumin, she hadn't responded much. To avoid overthinking things, she hadn't pressed the issue further. Xiaowu had also previously told her that Lin Xiumin hadn't interacted much with Yuan Xiaoling recently. Taking all this into account, Xu Yingying felt she should give Lin Xiumin a "good guy card." However, completely breaking the impasse between them proved to be a significant challenge.

As Xu Yingying packed her schoolbag, she nervously watched Lin Xiumin's movements, ready to take a step toward her at any moment. Her heartbeat quickened, almost audible. Finally, when she saw Lin Xiumin stand up and leave her seat, Xu Yingying took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and quickly walked towards her.

She walked over to Lin Xiumin, trying to sound as natural as possible. "Want to go home together?" Lin Xiumin was slightly startled, then nodded. This simple gesture made Xu Yingying happy, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Together, they walked out of the classroom and headed for the carport.

Along the way, Xu Yingying tried to find topics to talk about, trying to break the silence, but she always swallowed the words back. Finally, it was Lin Xiumin who spoke first: "You seem to be in a good mood today!" Xu Yingying smiled slightly and replied: "Well, maybe it's because of the good weather." She secretly prayed that this conversation would go smoothly and that their relationship would get back on track.

What Xu Yingying never expected was that Lin Xiumin suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Yingying asked.

"Ever since that incident, I've been waiting." Lin Xiumin suddenly changed the subject, and before Xu Yingying could react, she asked without thinking, "Waiting for what?"

"I always thought I was waiting for your apology. But that day, after you apologized, I found that it was not what I thought." Lin Xiumin continued.

"So? What are you waiting for?" Xu Yingying hadn't expected that after she had just taken the first step, Lin Xiumin would personally pass the message to her. She didn't know if it was because she had taken the original book's heroine's position that things were going so smoothly or if there was another reason, but she was still happy to see things go smoothly.

"Let's wait for a step down. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for, but as long as you take the initiative to talk to me first, I think things don't have to remain deadlocked." Lin Xiumin pointed to her heart.

"I just haven't had the courage." After hearing Lin Xiumin's words, Xu Yingying immediately realized that Lin Xiumin and the original heroine must have had some conflict, but neither of them had taken the initiative to move on, leaving the issue lingering on their minds. Her accidental apology last week was like giving Lin Xiumin a way out, and now Lin Xiumin has successfully navigated that situation.
