Lin Xiao was in class with Jiu Mei, but his eyes weren't on the teacher; instead, he stared blankly at the blackboard for a while.

He was thinking that the fate of vampires was not good, especially for vampires like himself.

At that time, Jiu Mei will probably need that woman's company.

Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to pair them up; at least they wouldn't be so lonely anymore.

"Kano Tsuki-san, what are you daydreaming about? Did you hear what the teacher said?"

The teacher was not very satisfied with this good student. Although he hadn't attended many classes before, his grades were excellent. It wouldn't do if his future was ruined because of this.

When he was about to give a gift and a lecture, he suddenly realized he had forgotten something important: it seemed like a transfer student was coming today.

The door opened, and everyone's attention was drawn to it, curious to see who was coming at this hour.

When they saw the person in person, their expressions changed slightly, clearly indicating that they didn't like him very much.

Alice has shed her usual glamorous style; her outfit today is not extravagant because she has come to understand that humans do not appreciate overly elaborate attire.

Just like when she sees others showing off like that, she doesn't actually like it. Since she's already fallen on hard times, even though it's miserable, she thinks...

If I change myself more, will Shinno Tsuki-nii's attitude towards her change?

"Hello everyone, my name is Alice. I haven't been to class because of some family matters. Now that I've finished, I'd like to come back to class and attend classes with everyone. Please take good care of me."

Everyone was surprised. When did this girl change like this? She didn't have this expression before. When she first arrived, she was incredibly arrogant.

The teacher was quite sensible; assuming Alice came from a wealthy family, she quickly let her in to prevent the whole class from suffering.

"It's good that you're back. Everyone has things to do, right? It's good that you know to go back to school. But don't do it again. Come in quickly."

Everyone in the class was there; no one was absent, the teacher remarked.

What day is it today? It feels like good days are coming, even though I haven't done anything.

The classroom, which should have been peaceful after class, felt rather unsettled to the teacher. However, she found it difficult to manage the students after class.

As expected, the teacher was right. Even if Alice came back, there would still be voices in the class that disliked her, just like now.

A girl whose abilities are second only to Alice's, because Alice's father is publicly known as the owner of a large company, and his business seems to be doing very well.

As for why it's good, it goes without saying that it's obvious, but this girl doesn't like it, or it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's jealous.

After the teacher left, the girl glanced at his departing figure.

Once she was sure she was far enough away, she walked up to Alice with the air of a young lady.

"Oh, isn't this our Miss Alice? What brings you back today? I thought you were never coming back after you left."

As if scrutinizing something, the girl gave it a disdainful look, then immediately said with disgust.

"With your current state, you still want to get engaged to our Kanno Tsuki-san? Don't even dream about it!"

"If you have that kind of thought, you should know that there will be those consequences!"

Alice held back her tears. Even if she was being bullied, she couldn't just say anything, otherwise it would only cause trouble for her grandfather.

Yes, Adeline is dead, but that doesn't mean Alice is left without anyone to care for her. There are still good people in Alice's family, and that person is her grandfather.

He's currently abroad and probably won't be back for a while.

Chen Xiuyu couldn't stand it anymore. Even if he disliked the girl at first, wasn't it good that she could change her ways? Chasing after someone like that wasn't appropriate.

Moreover, since he is the class monitor, it is even more unacceptable for such a thing to happen within his jurisdiction, so he has to stop it.

"Alright, Li Xin, watch your manners. This isn't a personal criticism session for you. You're in your class at school now, so be mindful of your image!"

The fact that Chen Xiuyu, a kind-hearted person, would speak up for such a wicked girl really made Li Xin's eyes pop out.

It's common knowledge that Li Xin likes Chen Xiuyu, so she was very angry when she saw that Chen Xiuyu was saying such things about her for the sake of someone she disliked.

The saying that "sometimes angry women are irrational" is quite true. Li Xin has that expression right now, wishing she could crush Alice.

However, given that this guy was likely connected to Shinno Tsuki, she wasn't foolish enough to offend someone like that.

So she glared at the annoying woman and went back to her seat.

009 was not happy. The host did not ask you to match them up, but to break up the couple, understand?

It yelled, "[Host, host, you've got the point wrong! It's not about bringing the male and female leads together, it's about breaking up their couples, you know that?!]"

Lin Xiao laughed. He was breaking up a couple, just in a different way.

'Alright, I got it, stop nagging. I know you've been going to the 002 system's house next door a lot lately…'

Lin Xiao gave 009 a meaningful smile, and upon seeing it, it immediately shrank back and ran away.

[Fine, do whatever you want!]

Lin Xiao thought about the development of the original plot, which was that Chen Xiuyu fell in love with the now humble Alice at a certain point in the story.

After obtaining his consent to communicate with them, Jiu Mei also met Alice during the process. After spending a long time together, he developed special feelings for Alice.

However, it's not a bad idea for him to make Jiu Mei jealous through this incident.

Alice must have felt terrible to be spoken to like that to her face. How could she not feel bad about going from a high-class young lady to this state?

When Chen Xiuyu was working on the class materials, he passed by the classroom and saw Alice with her head down.

I thought she was like this because of what had just happened, so I wanted to comfort her.

"Alice, are you alright? You seemed a little unhappy when I looked at you from the doorway."

Don't worry, we know who did this, so of course we won't blame you.

"You're just a little bit proud and overconfident."

"Making changes would be better; at least Kanno Tsuki won't dislike you so much."

Now, in Alice's eyes, Chen Xiuyu is like the sun when she looks up at him.

Such radiance, even though he's just an E-rank vampire.
