Without even needing to look away, Sisi understood her meaning at a glance, and her smile deepened slightly.
Sisi thought for a moment, then decided to imitate the black-haired girl's cautious movements, approaching her and lowering her voice to say, "Don't be fooled by my appearance; I'm actually pretty much the same as you!"
After saying that, she immediately pulled away from the two of them, giving the black-haired girl a lonely smile, a feigned retreat, "If you feel it's not right—"
"Okay! Okay!" Before she could finish feigning pitifulness, the black-haired girl immediately showed sympathy and nodded hurriedly. "If you don't mind, please sit here!"
Done!
Sisi was overjoyed to hear the answer she wanted, but outwardly she maintained a composed expression, saying, "Thank you." Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, she exchanged names with the other person.
It was at this moment that Sisi finally learned the name of the black-haired girl, Xu Ling.
Xu Ling······
The moment the other person's clear voice reached Sisi's ears, her pupils trembled almost imperceptibly.
If there were other people present, they would definitely find the black-haired girl's pronunciation particularly awkward, as it was a completely unfamiliar language!
But for Sisi, this was the sound she longed to hear!
Could it be... they're from the same hometown? Or did the other person also time-travel?
Just this guess was enough to stir her emotions almost instantly, and she even felt a strange sense of "meeting a fellow villager and tears welling up in her eyes".
However, the emotional surge was fleeting. The next second, reason returned, telling her that the one in a million chance would not happen so fortunately.
Moreover, even if it really happened, she shouldn't rashly "recognize relatives" in this completely unfamiliar world!
Of course, "recognizing relatives" is impossible, but the previous idea of "being friends" is still feasible!
Therefore, after exchanging names, she and Xu Ling naturally went from being strangers who had just met to being classmates who could communicate amicably.
Now that we've become deskmates, becoming friends is a given!
After that, she and Xu Ling did indeed become good friends as she had wished.
Everything went so smoothly, without any unexpected incidents. To be honest, Sisi personally believes that this was all the result of her own deliberate actions.
However, little did she know that her carefully cultivated friend, Xu Ling, had also secretly contributed to this outcome.
In fact, Xu Ling knew everything the moment Sisi Sanchez appeared at the academy.
After all, her system was like it was infected with a virus, constantly popping up windows to remind her that the female lead was in place.
In that instant, her vision was completely filled with pop-up windows, so it's easy to imagine that she couldn't see anything else except for this earth-shattering news.
It took her a long time, until her fingertips were cramping, to click the [Confirm] button on all the windows before her vision returned to normal.
Of course, at this time, Xu Ling did not have any enthusiastic thoughts about Sisi Sanchez's arrival, and was even a little annoyed.
Think about it, no one who is inexplicably attacked by a virus would be happy to face the "instigator"!
Fortunately, she was currently holed up in her room. If she were outside... just thinking about it is a little scary!
However, her initial dismissive attitude towards the female lead quickly vanished.
Just then, Kaopu burst in, his little cat face full of excitement.
"Xu Ling!" it called out excitedly as soon as it stopped.
Seeing this, Xu Ling rolled her eyes and asked irritably, "What?"
"You know now, right?" Though it was a rhetorical question, the reliable tone was extremely certain. "The female lead is here!" The last syllable revealed its barely suppressed excitement.
Completely baffled by Kaopu's excitement, Xu Ling nodded perfunctorily, "Mhm."
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, the reliable cat's face immediately fell, and it looked somewhat unhappy: "Why aren't you agitated?"
"Should I be excited?" Xu Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"
Reliable: "Of course, your chance has come!"
Xu Ling: ······
Sorry, she seems to be on a completely different wavelength from reliable people; she didn't understand what it was trying to say at all!
"What do you mean my chance has come?"
"Of course, it's your chance to successfully complete the mission!" Kaopu raised his head.
At this point, Xu Ling still hadn't realized what "reliable" meant, so she subconsciously blurted out, "What mission is it?"
Upon hearing this, Kaopu instantly exploded, "I knew your mind wasn't on completing the mission at all! And now you have the nerve to ask me what the mission is!"
Xu Ling: ······
Seeing how angry it was, the cat seemed to explode like a balloon, and Xu Ling's thought process somehow got stuck.
She suddenly understood what Kaopu meant by the task, and her face lit up with realization. She then asked with great interest, "Tell me quickly, now that she's here, how do I have a chance to complete the task?"
God knows how frustrated she was with this insane task; sometimes she even wanted to go crazy and cause a big mess!
For example, they might rush straight to the teacher's podium and shamelessly ask loudly, "Does anyone have a crush on someone? Please, let me give you some advice!"
Fortunately, she had a strong sense of morality, and more importantly, she couldn't bear the shame, so she gave up the idea.
However, who knows, she might really go crazy one day if she's driven to the brink by the system!
Kaopu, who had been sulking with his cat face puffed up, immediately became smug again when he saw Xu Ling's eyes light up and urge him on.
"Hmph!" It raised its chin arrogantly, but unfortunately, the size difference between it and Xu Ling was too great. Even though it raised its chin almost to the sky, it still looked inferior.
That won't do!
Seeing this, it leaped up and, after several jumps, finally reached the highest point in the room—the top of the wardrobe.
As Xu Ling looked up, it looked down at her from its superior position, grinning broadly and revealing its sharp little teeth.
Xu Ling: ······
Just when she thought she understood Kaopu, Kaopu would always suddenly do something to tell her: No! You don't understand!
The veins on her forehead were about to bulge out. Xu Ling closed her eyes and pressed them down hard to suppress the sudden surge of anger.
"Now—can you finally speak?" Each word was practically squeezed out from between her teeth. She opened her eyes with a "whoosh," as if invisible swords were flying towards Kao Pu with sharp and fierce movements.
