Chapter 14: Made a girl cry (1/2)

Mustard? Muster? Must-stir?
...........No wait, what was being said just now out from the teacher's mouth was indeed Mas (light, dragging pronunciation ) ter (dull, lowered pronunciation).
In my dictionary, something that could only fit this requirement, would only be that word 'Master' already.
Although I was very interested into maids, but because the game's voice acting were basically all Japanese, so when I suddenly heard the chinese version of 'Master', I actually couldn't even react to it at all...........Mm, but then again, it sounded quite nice in chinese too.
.............
No waaaaaaaaaaaaait!
What's important wasn't this at all! What's with that form of addressing!
Why did I suddenly become Master already!
Yang Li Li-laoshi, actually called me as Master?
This was only just a joke, right?
I had a face of mengbility as I pointed towards myself, as I dumbly repeated: ”Master?”
Afterwards, I immediately thought that it was a wording trap, as usually after I've said out the above speech, the other party would be using 'That's right, I am your Master.' this sort of way to take advantage of me.
But Yang-laoshi didn't have any intentions of joking around at all, as she said unsmilingly: ”Of course I'm calling you, you're my Master, and we have already signed a Master-Servant contract between us.”
”Wait wait wait wait! What do you mean by 'we have already signed a Master-Servant contract between us' heeh! I simply don't remember signing any such contract in the first place at all?”
After I've retorted back in such a way, the teacher unveiled out a horrified expression, with a hand clutching onto her mouth, and another finger pointing at me.
”You...........you...........didn't you just now............”
But before the teacher could finish what she was saying, the entrance doors of the library were being opened.
It's one of the students who was usually together with me at the library doing night self-revisions, and she looked to be a little familiar, but in reality we hadn't talked to each other before. This girl who was wearing a pair of spectacles with a ponytail hairstyle glanced at me and Yang-laoshi who was lying onto the floor, as she lifted up her spectacles with her finger and asked: ”May I ask about what happened here?”
I hadn't reacted at all when Yang-laoshi immediately responded: ”Ahh, nothing at all, it's just that we've accidentally knocked onto each other earlier.”
The response was very timely, and her facial expression changes were very natural, with the lie also quite casual-appearing. Looks like the teacher was very used to be dealing with these sort of situations, huh.
”Your clothes?”
”Err...........”
Oh yeah, my clothes was being torn apart by Yang-laoshi already...........
”It's when I was falling down earlier, I reactively grasped onto him then, with the outcome of accidentally tearing it apart............ahaha, the school uniform's quality nowadays are really quite bad............”
”.............I see, then please let me help you to pick these up then. That side, An Jun Cheng-tongxue, could you come over and help out too?”
”Nn, ohhh! Coming right away.”
With my name suddenly being called out, I nervously stood up, and hurriedly rushed over to help pick up those documents that were scattered onto the floor.
She...........actually knew my name? That's quite a rare sight, I thought that with such an especially obscure person like me, only the teacher would know about my name, huh.
Since the other party already knew my name, I at the very least should too understand the other party's name, right?
With this kind of reciprocating mentality, while picking up documents, I secretly lifted my head up to peek towards the top of that girl's head, let's first not bother about those titles, but the name underneath the title should be correct.
[Reincarnated type Childhood friend]
[Bai Yu Hui]
”.........”
Bai Yu Hui, huh............what a strange name.
And her title was somewhat strange too, what does it mean by a 'reincarnated type'? And a 'childhood friend' was referring to whose? Speaking of which, she shouldn't be someone from my class at all, right. I didn't expect that other than our class, there still would be such mysterious titles around.
Plus, her status was actually blue colored, this status system really was in a variety of colors, huh...........
Guhh, being too overly mindful of these kinds of things definitely won't have anything good out of it, so I'd better act as if I didn't see it then.
Bai Yu Hui placed the scattered documents back onto the service counter, and I too did the same as well, placing the floor-scattered documents back onto the desk.
”Ah, it's alright already, just leave the rest to me. You two just go ahead and read some books then.”
”Alright, understood. Thank you for your help, An-tongxue.”
Bai Yu Hui didn't mention any words at all regarding about the teacher's changes, was she just acting as if she didn't see it? Or does it mean that...........only I am able to see the teacher's look after her transformation? Analyzing the nonsensical stuff that the teacher had said earlier,it's very plausible for it to be the 2nd scenario. Only I being able to see it, huh............just like those statuses too.
So I, as expected awakened some form of ability already?
After the night self-revisions ended I'll go ask Yang-laoshi about it then, since she seems to know a lot of things too.
”No need for that, it's only just a small matter. Thanks for your hard work too, Bai-tongxue.”
I also politely traded some courteous words with her, but I didn't expect this courteousy act would courteous out problems instead.
To see Bai Yu Hui ferociously lifting her head up, as she used a sharp gaze to stare into my eyes, asking: ”You...........know my name?”
”Eeehhhh? Umm, it should be Bai Yu Hui, right...........am I mistakened about it?”
Oioioi, what's with this reaction! Don't tell me that it's like Yang-laoshi again, it actually being a disguised name!
”No, you're right that my name is indeed Bai Yu Hui............but why did you know about my name? You don't even know about me at all, right? No, you had never asked for my name directly from me before. Then that means you knew my name from others? And so why must you go ask about my name?”
Bai Yu Hui rambled non-stop intimidatingly as she closened towards me, and I retreated step by step all the way until I've reached the edges of the bookshelf, being completely speechless.
”Eeeh...........”
Why does everyone had this kind of reaction! Yang-laoshi was one thing, and now this Bai Yu Hui was also like that! Didn't I just only called out a name only, must you be that mindful of it! Plus, I also didn't say it wrong either! Looks like other than just titles next time, even for the names I mustn't simply say it out anyhow already..........
”You..........”
”Quickly sit down and go read your books, remember to remain silent in the library, alright?”
Just when I had no idea on how to respond to it, Yang-laoshi timely said out such a sentence.
Bai Yu Hui evidently still wanted to say something, but in the end just pouted her lips as she walked away.
Phew~ You've helped me massively on it, Yang-laoshi.
Before leaving, she still looked at me extremely meaningfully, and her expression had indescribable mixed looks into it, afterwhich she then turned around to proceed to the other bookshelves to take some books. I too retrieved the sequel of the manga that I was reading yesterday, and sat onto my usual seat.
