The System Wants Me To Learn To Be A 'Green Tea' (Quick Transmigration) - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

When Ye Linmu was called awake, she was still slightly dazed. The students around her were all strangers dressed in school uniforms, and she herself was wearing one, slumped over a desk in a classroom.

Her deskmate, who looked very cute and a little shy, pushed her glasses up when she saw Ye Linmu looking over. She quietly asked, “Lunch break is over, Linmu, do you need to go to the restroom?”

Ye Linmu was about to speak when a young, electronic voice sounded in her mind: “Host, personality setting, maintain the personality setting.”

Only then did she recall her current situation. She gave a gentle smile and shook her head softly: “No, you go ahead.”

“Alright then.”

Her deskmate didn’t force her and left by herself.

Ye Linmu rested her head on her arms again, recalling the events that led up to this.

She wasn’t from this world; she had, in fact, already died.

She came from another world and, because she saved someone before her death, was specifically grabbed by a system called “Come Be a Green Tea.” It told her that as long as she could complete the mission, she could have an excellent life in her next reincarnation.

To stand out in her next life and live a happy one, she agreed.

And so, she appeared here.

Her mission was to capture the People of Fortune (targets) in various worlds, making them willingly shed sincere tears for her, thereby earning her merit.

Merit was the thing that would lead her to the peak of life in her next reincarnation.

To complete the mission quickly, Ye Linmu urged: “System, my Green Tea System, come out quickly. Which one in this classroom is the Person of Fortune for this world?”

“Point her out fast, so I can go capture her!”

Under her repeated prodding, the system finally came online.

System: “Let me check.”

It searched for a long time and then said: “Host, the Person of Fortune is the person you see who looks different at first glance. Everyone else’s heads have gray auras, but the one with the green aura is the Person of Fortune!”

Ye Linmu: “…”

She realized: “Oh, I get it. The Person of Fortune likes green hats (being cheated on).”

System: “…”

“Host, be serious. Look up now and see who is green. The green one is the Person of Fortune. Red is the minor villain who stops the Person of Fortune from ascending. Black is like a world-ending villain!”

Its young voice was full of grand ambition: “Host, our goal is to beat up the minor villains, kick out the major villains, and easily capture the Person of Fortune’s target!”

Ye Linmu: “…”

Ye Linmu’s expression was complex, and she said sincerely: “System, direct sales schemes really missed out by not recruiting you.”

She quickly looked up. The surroundings were all gray; she didn’t see a single red or green. She sighed softly. As expected of a high school focused on life-and-death struggle—there weren’t many minor characters coming out to cause trouble.

Bored, she turned back and saw a girl sitting behind her with a beautiful, delicate face, exuding a cold, untouchable air. The girl happened to look up, her gaze falling on the turning Ye Linmu, and she asked plainly, “What do you want?”

Ye Linmu shook her head, then nodded again.

She had something to say, and yet nothing.

The other girl frowned, seemingly not wanting to deal with her. She lowered her head and continued writing her homework, not as leisurely as Ye Linmu. Ye Linmu wasn’t annoyed; she just leaned her body halfway, propping up her head to look at her.

Ye Linmu’s eyes swept over the dazzling green aura above the other girl’s head and nodded slightly. Yep, this was her target. She hadn’t expected the person to be sitting right behind her.

Her gaze scanned the girl’s exercise book placed on top. The characters “Chen Zhou” immediately caught her eye. She secretly nodded—the person was good-looking, and the name was nice. Aside from being a bit aloof, there was no problem.

As expected of the Person of Fortune, she looked like someone you’d want to capture.

Chen Zhou’s deskmate saw Ye Linmu staring intently at Chen Zhou and sneered, “Ye Linmu, if you have nothing to do, just do your homework or read your book. The Gaokao (college entrance exam) is coming up soon. Staring at Chen Zhou won’t help; she won’t tutor you.”

Ye Linmu was about to retort but was immediately reminded by the system to maintain her personality setting and not be so aggressive. She was a weak, little ‘green tea,’ she couldn’t use force.

With that in mind, Ye Linmu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and just when Chen Zhou’s deskmate thought she had successfully won the argument, Ye Linmu opened her eyes.

Her eyes, which naturally drooped at the corners and looked as innocent as Bambi, were half-closed, the corners slightly red and glistening with tears, biting her lower lip as if holding back words.

Ye Linmu’s voice trembled: “Zhuo Rui, I was just tired from studying and felt that classmate Chen was pretty, so I wanted to look at her to rest my eyes. Why are you always so unwilling to let me have my way? Is it because my grades are usually better than yours, and that makes you unhappy?”

“If you worked hard like others and didn’t constantly stare at me, you could also score well like me, even though I’m just a little bit more studious than you.”

“You!”

Ye Linmu’s words were instantly classic ‘green tea.’ Zhuo Rui, rendered speechless by the counterattack, could only swallow her resentment. Meanwhile, Chen Zhou silently continued working on her exercises, showing no intention of intervening with the two fighting over her.

The surrounding people were disturbed by the commotion. Seeing the two arguing again, and seeing Ye Linmu’s eyes hanging with tears, looking completely bullied, they all advised Zhuo Rui not to be so overbearing and push people around. Ye Linmu had a soft nature and a gentle temper; it was impossible for her to start trouble.

The general siding with Ye Linmu made Zhuo Rui so angry she almost passed out, nearly choking on her breath. Her nose flared with heat as she looked at Ye Linmu’s feigned innocent eyes, grinding her teeth in frustration.

Ye Linmu, who easily won the fight, felt bored. She had just picked up her pen and written two characters when she realized the original host had written an answer wrong. She was about to use correction tape to erase it when she found hers was finished.

Her eyes flickered—this was an opportunity.

She turned around and looked weakly at Chen Zhou, who was doing problems, and whispered, “Chen Zhou, I ran out of correction tape. Can I borrow yours?”

Chen Zhou looked up, her expression cold. She seemed confused as to why Ye Linmu had suddenly changed her tune. Were they that close?

She initially wanted to refuse—she wasn’t a warm-hearted person—but seeing the girl’s pitiful look, which was somehow the same as before but with an added layer of sincerity, she hesitated.

She opened her mouth, but finally said, “Take it.”

Ye Linmu quickly took it, used it, and when handing it back, she thought for a moment, took out a bun from her drawer, and handed it back with the correction tape, smiling brightly: “Thank you, this is for you to eat.”

Chen Zhou pursed her lips and refused: “No need, I’m not hungry.”

Ye Linmu shamelessly insisted on her taking it, even placing it near Chen Zhou’s hand, smiling gently: “Oh, just eat it. You’ve been doing a lot of exercises lately, so you’re consuming a lot of energy. You’ll definitely get hungry quickly.”

The moment their hands touched, Chen Zhou quickly flinched back with both her body and chair, like a startled bird. She stood up abruptly, her face frighteningly pale.

Ye Linmu’s hand holding the bun froze. She didn’t understand what was wrong with the other girl. Why the sudden reaction?

Did she not like the bun?

Chen Zhou’s breathing became slightly heavier. She said coldly, “I said I don’t want it.”

Ye Linmu stared at her blankly. Under Zhuo Rui’s amused gaze, she slowly placed the bun and correction tape on Chen Zhou’s desk, lowering her eyes, her voice sounding choked up: “I’m sorry. I just wanted to thank you.”

Chen Zhou: “…”

The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Chen Zhou also realized she had overreacted. She slowly picked up the bun and said in a deep voice, “It’s not your fault. Thank you for your kindness.”

Ye Linmu looked up at Chen Zhou in surprise and pushed her luck: “Hmm, I’m glad you like it. I just want to be friends with you. You’re so amazing, I really like you.”

Chen Zhou seemed unused to such direct affection. She was momentarily flustered, and a blush crept across her face. The bun in her hand was almost crushed.

She pursed her lips shyly and said, “Ah… um.”

Ye Linmu’s smile grew wider seeing Chen Zhou so shy. So innocent! Truly the age of high school.

Sensing Ye Linmu’s inner thoughts, the system worried that Ye Linmu might ruin this world and quickly said: “Host, you must remember to maintain your personality setting. Don’t break it, and don’t be too excessive. She’s still a pure high school student.”

Ye Linmu raised an eyebrow. Only high school students are this pure, she understood.

Afterward, she used various excuses to ask Chen Zhou questions, including math, English, and anything she thought she didn’t know.

Zhuo Rui originally wanted to mock Ye Linmu, thinking how could someone like Chen Zhou condescend to explain problems to someone like Ye Linmu? Besides, the two weren’t close at all. Why was Ye Linmu asking so naturally?

But things turned out to be beyond Zhuo Rui’s expectation. Not only did Chen Zhou not reject Ye Linmu, but she genuinely explained the problems to her, asked if she understood, and if she didn’t, she would change her explanation.

Chen Zhou was truly worthy of being the Person of Fortune; her intelligence was not to be underestimated. Her explanations were easy to understand, and she even connected them to real-life examples, making the problems incredibly simple.

Even an old hand like Ye Linmu, who had long since graduated, had the illusion of returning to her youth.

“Mm, I understand.”

Ye Linmu nodded, brazenly trying to poach the deskmate: “You explain things so well. How about we sit together the next time we switch seats? That way it’ll be easier for me to ask you questions.”

Zhuo Rui slapped the table and stood up, furious: “You! Ye Linmu, that’s too much!”

Ye Linmu blinked innocently and said, “I just want to be closer to Chen Zhou to facilitate my studying. Why are you always targeting me for no reason?”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, emanating an aura that made people want to protect her. She said weakly, “Is Chen Zhou the deskmate of only you?”

“Or… is Chen Zhou yours alone?”

Her suggestive manner nearly drove Zhuo Rui insane. She wanted to raise her hand and slap Ye Linmu, but under the scrutiny of the crowd, she could only take a deep breath and say loudly, “I don’t have those filthy feelings for Chen Zhou! You’re the one who keeps dragging the conversation in that direction. Do you have some kind of different feelings for Chen Zhou?”

Ye Linmu looked at her innocently on the surface, her voice full of confusion: “What are ‘different feelings’? Zhuo Rui, what have you been reading? How do you know so much knowledge that I don’t?”

In her heart, she was already laughing hysterically, nodding vigorously. Yes, yes, that’s right. I do have those feelings for Chen Zhou, but do you dare say it outright?
