The backdrop can also be propped up.

This gardenia is very large, very white, very beautiful, and the fragrance it releases is quite overpowering.

"So beautiful!" Zhao Wuyin exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"This gardenia... must have been taken care of by someone who spent a lot of time and effort," Lu Renkui said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Andra's face lit up with pride, and she was no longer so shy. Her eyebrows rose, her eyes crinkled with joy, and she smiled, saying, "It was me who took care of them!"

"Wow! That's amazing!" Zhao Wuyin once again demonstrated her skill in flattery.

After that, Andra's tension eased considerably.

The three girls then got down to business.

“I want to… join you…” Although she wasn’t as nervous as before, Andra was not good at socializing, and she still couldn’t help feeling flustered when talking to living people.

Zhao Wuyin turned to look at "Sun Xi"—the idea of ​​forming a band was proposed by "Sun Xi," so "Sun Xi" had to make the decision.

Lu Renkui crossed his arms and tapped his left hand on his arm repeatedly.

Not long after, Lu Renkui spoke up, "Ah, that's not a problem. Anyway, there are always cellists in electronic bands. I'll go back and find the sheet music, then we'll practice together to improve our coordination."

Hearing that he could join the band, Andra's face flushed with joy.

“Right now, we’ll see when we’re free,” Lu Renkui said. “How about we practice on the weekend? The place is… um… where do you live, Andra?”

“I live at…285 Wenying South Road.” Andra’s voice trailed off as she looked uneasily at the dark brown-haired girl in front of her.

Lu Renkui recalled that Wenying South Road was described in the original text as a place with a low average standard of living. Andra lived on Wenying South Road, so it seemed that Andra also belonged to the category of poor students.

"Hmm, Wenying South Road. I live on Jintaohua Road, and Sister Yinyue lives on Yinsi Road... Ah, then let's meet at Tomato Park, which is closest to these three roads."

After saying that, Lu Renkui turned to look at Andra and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

"Ah, me? I, I'm fine!" Andra breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the dark brown-haired girl didn't show any disgust towards her.

"Yay, let's go to Tomato Park! The food there is super delicious!" Zhao Wuyin said excitedly. "I'm going to tell David about this right now."

Lu Renkui then realized that he hadn't considered David yet: "Ah, well, maybe we should wait..."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuyin said, "David agreed. He said he would come to Tomato Park to meet us."

Lu Renkui: ...

David was easier to talk to than I had imagined.

"But a four-person band with two socially awkward members? That's unbelievable," Lu Renkui thought helplessly. He wondered if Wang Xin would choose to join. "If Wang Xin joins, then wouldn't there be three socially awkward members in the band?" Wait, no, Wang Xin shouldn't be considered socially awkward, right?

When asked whether Wang Xin was socially awkward, Lu Renkui chose to give up thinking about it and instead started guessing when the system WQBYRZM would return.

System! When are you coming back? Shangguan Chenxi looked up at the ceiling—she found that the movements of Su Hanshuang and her friends were really hard to control.

For example, Jupiter, even though Mommy said she wouldn't pursue the classmate who wasn't paying attention in the hallway and didn't give way to her, Jupiter still sent someone to beat up that classmate.

That classmate should have beaten those three people up, otherwise, given Mu Xingxing's personality, she would have already sent the video of that girl being beaten to the original owner. Shangguan Chenxi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and then looked down at An Yingxue, who was tied to a chair.

At this moment, An Yingxue was tightly bound to the chair with rough hemp rope. Her usually smooth hair was now frizzy and messy.

An Yingxue's beautiful, color-changing eyes turned blue at this moment, and tears of sorrow flowed from them, sliding down the three layers of tape that were stuck to her mouth.

Led by Mu Xingxing, the girls obediently withdrew and stood at the door of the storage room, waiting for "Su Hanshuang" to punish An Yingxue—because An Yingxue, as a lowly commoner, had stolen the limelight from Miss Su Hanshuang in the beauty pageant.

Shangguan Chenxi looked up again, first mentally complaining about why a group of rich young ladies acted like delinquents, and then remembered what System 1143 had said about the reason for the establishment of their system department.

"The reason we set up this system department is to prevent villains from committing so many atrocities and to give innocent people a little more hope of survival."

But I really can't stand them sending me all this trouble to cause! After roaring these words in her heart, Shangguan Chenxi looked down at An Yingxue, who was tied to the chair, with a sense of hopelessness.

After glancing at An Yingxue for two seconds with her eyes lowered, Shangguan Chenxi stepped forward and raised her hand.

An Yingxue visibly flinched; she was prepared to receive a slap from "Su Hanshuang."

But the slap didn't come down as An Yingxue had imagined. "Su Hanshuang" first untied the rope binding her to the chair, and then tore off the tape that was wrapped around her mouth three times.

An Yingxue was bewildered by "Su Hanshuang's" actions. This was quite different from the Su Hanshuang she remembered. As soon as she opened her mouth, "Su Hanshuang" pointed at her with her index finger and said, "Shut up, don't speak."

Worried that An Yingxue wouldn't listen to her, Shangguan Chenxi preemptively said, "Listen, I'm not in the mood to mess with you these past few days, so don't keep hanging around in front of me. The day I'm really in a bad mood, I'll definitely take it out on you first, understand?"

An Yingxue remained dazed. Shangguan Chenxi repeated her last words: "Did you hear that?"

An Yingxue then nodded.

"Alright, now! Stay here obediently and don't come out! If you dare to come out, you'll be in for serious consequences." Shangguan Chenxi recalled the villains in those Mary Sue novels she read when she was a child, and imitated them to say some harsh words to An Yingxue. After walking around the storage room twice, Shangguan Chenxi finally pushed open the door.

The first thing Shangguan Chenxi saw when she opened the door was Su Hanshuang's girlfriends waiting for her at the door.

"Hey, why is Miss Su coming out so quickly this time?" Mu Xingxing, who had been with Su Hanshuang the longest, was a little puzzled when she saw that Su Hanshuang had come out shortly after going in and that there had been no sound from the storage room.

"Oh dear, I just did a hand mask recently, and I don't want my newly pampered hands to get dirty by that kind of guy." Shangguan Chenxi said while examining the original owner Su Hanshuang's hands, hoping to get away with these girls who didn't seem very bright.

Sure enough, Shangguan Chenxi successfully fooled her group of girlfriends.

"Oh dear, then we've captured this guy for nothing!" Viaka looked a little disappointed. "I promised that sycophant some benefits before he agreed to help me capture An Yingxue. Miss, you're just letting him go like this? That would be such a loss for me."

“Let her stay here. I’ve already told her she won’t come out.” Shangguan Chenxi stopped studying Su Hanshuang’s hands. She brushed the bangs that were hanging by her ears behind her ears and said, “As for that simp of yours, I’ll have someone find a way to make sure he doesn’t have time to come and date you, Via.”

"Ah, that's wonderful! As expected, Miss is the best." Viaka smiled happily. "I don't have to face that disgusting guy anymore. Thank you, Miss."

"Alright, let's go." Shangguan Chenxi said as she walked to the other end of the corridor, adding, "Don't stay here. You have class this afternoon, so just go to class, even if you have to."

Walking down the corridor with her group of girlfriends, Shangguan Chenxi wondered if she had once again exacerbated the conflict between the villain and the female lead.

There was no physical violence against the female lead, nor any verbal abuse. Well… the only slight inconvenience might be the sidekick tying An Yingxue up to the storage room, but that should be about it.

Speaking of which, An Yingxue probably won't listen to me and sit there waiting for the male lead and supporting male character to rescue her, right? The storage room isn't locked either; she should be able to open the door herself. Shangguan Chenxi sighed, then started thinking about when System 1143 would return. She needed to ask System 1143 for the specific life experiences of these girls so she could prescribe the right medicine and change their current behavior.

Otherwise, if you spend a whole week trying to improve your interpersonal skills by a little bit, only to have these girls completely undermine them, it would be a huge loss.

At this moment, System 1143 was still pestering System WQBYRZM, asking System WQBYRZM to guarantee that System WQBYRZM and her host would not cause trouble in the missions of herself and her host Shangguan Chenxi.

"I swear again, what happened in the previous worlds was truly an accident," System WQBYRZM said helplessly.

"Really?" System 1143 still seemed a little skeptical. "But you managed to kill the male protagonist in the first world."

"That has nothing to do with me! My host and I just handed her a packet of laxatives!" System WQBYRZM really wanted to shout that she was innocent—the death of the protagonist Jingan in the first world was clearly caused by the two adults around her, so how could it all be blamed on her?

"Huh? If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" System 1143 didn't believe it. "Are you going to tell me that the first and second people around you accidentally let the original owner see the original plot and then kill the male lead?"

The system WQBYRZM almost laughed when it heard this: You guessed right.

However, even with both adults present, the system WQBYRZM dared not laugh.

At this moment, System 0733 brought over a piece of cake, handed it to System 1143, and said with a smile, "Here, have this. Go eat it over there. I have something to discuss with this new colleague."

"Sigh, but she hasn't given me any promises yet..."

"I promise, I promise, I promise! I will absolutely not disturb you and your host in completing the mission!" System WQBYRZM immediately raised both hands and made a "four" gesture.

"Alright then." System 1143, having received assurance, happily took the cake and went to eat it.
