Chapter 386 (1/2)

: Mutual Respect

Bai Yunshan always walked about with her cool expression. Students that isolated or hated her thought it stemmed from her pride as the class rep. Such arrogance was not exactly appreciated, and people shunned her as a result.

Even so, Bai Yunshan was highly accustomed to being isolated. She did not mind Zhao Youyue hugging her so tightly in private, but she strongly urged her to refrain from doing so in public.

She feared that it would only affect Zhao Youyue’s reputation, as she was quite the popular person in school. If the class practiced voting for their class reps, she would have never earned this spot.

Deep within Bai Yunshan, she was highly impressed with Zhao Youyue; she could never turn a blind eye to students’ mistakes like Zhao Youyue could.

Not only was she self-disciplined, but she was also determined to enforce this discipline upon others. On the other hand, Zhao Youyue never took anything seriously. She may have dropped those ridiculous mini 4WDs, but she had started to write some gibberish, and her stacks of nonsensical notes was only piling up…

Zhao Youyue would constantly mutter to herself like a “scholarly girl,” and it thoroughly annoyed her new deskmate, Bai Yunshan. Can’t we just learn things quietly?

It only gave Bai Yunshan more determination to study. She always felt that if she ever surpassed Zhao Youyue’s academic results, she could force Zhao Youyue back on the right track.

Yet, no matter how hard Bai Yunshan tried, she could never surpass Zhao Youyue. Others would have already lost their sanity, working with someone like Zhao Youyue exist. Zhao Youyue’s extraordinary academic results were not exactly helpful to other students’ learning experience!

Whenever Bai Yunshan inched closer to Zhao Youyue’s results, she felt oddly satisfied. It was just like the time she received a hug from Zhao Youyue in private; it was all warm, fuzzy and substantial.

Bai Yunshan thought Zhao Youyue was a naive and romantic little girl, and she did not hate this sweet-smelling beauty.

But at other times, Zhao Youyue behaved like an elegant, rich lady, giving off an aura that eclipsed Bai Yunshan’s icy demeanor. Why did Zhao Youyue have another personality?

Or in other words, how many personalities did Zhao Youyue have?

Nobody knew.

If only there’s a word to describe Zhao Youyue. A close relative to that word might be “enigmatic.”

Bai Yunshan could not seem to turn down Zhao Youyue’s suggestion, as long as it did not defy her sense of honor, just like how she had kept her hair long because Zhao Youyue had asked her to.

Once, Zhao Youyue said to her, “Shan Shan, I’m your best friend, right?”

Bai Yunshan had simply nodded her head; she did not know what “best friend” meant. Zhao Youyue was her only friend.

Since she was the only friend she had, she could also be considered her best friend; there was no flaw in this logic.

“Since we’re besties, we should have equally long hair, and you must wear the clothes I bought you, and use the things I gave you. That’s how you respect your friends,” Zhao Youyue had said.

Bai Yunshan was a little confused. Was this how one respected friends? Still, this did not defy her sense of honor. She guessed that it would bring no harm trying. She might be able to please the Lady.
