After the Soft Sister Differentiated Into A

a dog drooling over a treat.
She could only shake her head helplessly, “You really are worthy of being a face-con.
Ai, in other news, I’ve heard from the class president that Jin-Jin is on leave.
Who knows how her current situation is.” 

Chen Mianmian also sighed at the mention of Yao Jin, “Yeah, we were originally going to do hot pot after school together.” 

The deskmate thought about it and then said, “Since Jin-Jin is not here, then the rest of us can only go without her.” 

Chen Mianmian looked at her with a teasing smile, “With just a few of us? Are you going to treat us then?” 

The deskmate pouted, “Then let’s wait for Jin-Jin instead.” 

As they were talking, Li Yong, a male student, came in through the door and pointed at Yao Jin’s seat, and asked, “Is Yao Jin not back yet? I just passed the infirmary but she wasn’t there either.” 

Chen Mianmian, “Did the class prez not tell you? Our homeroom teacher let Jin-Jin go home to rest and recuperate.” 

Li Yong scratched his head and sighed in disappointment before returning to his own desk. 

He originally thought that Yao Jin had simply fainted due to a normal heat stroke and that she only needed to rest for a little bit.
However, he didn’t expect that it would be so serious that she would go home.
It would’ve been nice to have been the person who carried her to the infirmary, that way he could have known more about her situation. 

Thinking of this, he glanced sideways at Jin Siming with a bit of jealousy in his gaze. 

Jin Siming, who was resting her head on her desk, didn’t know that because of one gym class, she has become the center of a brewing storm.

Yoa Jin only stayed at home for half a day before coming to school the next morning. 

After all, resting at home is not something enjoyable to her and she prefers going to school instead. 

After passing the school gates, she met many familiar classmates along the way who came up to greet her.
A boy from the same class bumped into her halfway and they arrived at the classroom together. 

Along the way, the boy talked animatedly and while Yao Jin did not act as enthusiastically she still responded at the right moments so as to not make the conversation awkward. 

When she was a child,  there was a period of time when she relied on the kindness of others.
At the time, Yao Wei didn’t have enough money to hire someone to take care of her so sometimes it was a familiar relative or a friend of Yao Wei’s whom Yao Jin had never met.
The situation in each household was different, some were warm, some were overbearing, and some were coldly indifferent.
During that time, Yao Jin learned how to carefully observe other people’s words and expressions and then disguise her personality to suit the tastes of different adults.
This was because when Yao Wei came to pick her up, the caretaker would praise her for her obedient and good personality.
Yao Wei would then show her a loving smile that was only ever directed at her. 

Then Yao Wei’s career improved and she no longer needed to rely on others, but the habit stayed.
As long as the person wasn’t overly hateful, she would habitually cater to their whims and it didn’t matter if they were the same or the opposite sex.

Her habit of accommodating to other people’s whims was also partly because she was afraid of being alone.
She liked the feeling of being surrounded by people, but at the same time she didn’t want to be crowded to the point of being overwhelmed.
She didn’t stop the crowds from forming, but this was only because she no longer knew how to refuse others after accommodating others for so long. 

When they approached the entrance of the school’s convenience store, Yao Jin stopped. 

“Jin-Jin, did you need to buy something?” The boy asked curiously. 

“En.
I’m going in for a minute, you can wait for me outside.” Yao Jin walked into the convenience store. 

The boy hurriedly caught up to her, “I’ll go with you.” 

The convenience store was crowded with students rushing in to buy food for breakfast.
The aisles were so packed that there were people blocking the entrance.

Yao Jin stood near the door, frowning slightly.

The boy squeezed forward first after seeing her hesitation, “Jin-Jin, what do you want to buy? I’ll help you buy it!” 

Yao Jin bit her rosy lips and refused him: “Forget it, there are too many people right now.
Let’s go to class first.” 

“No worries, I just remembered that I have something I wanted to buy.
Hurry up a little or else I’m going in first~” 

Seeing that the boy was about to completely disappear into the crowd, Yao Jin thought about it and called out, “I want some milk.” 

“Alright, how many bottles?” 

“Two…three bottles.” 

“Ok!” 

The boy moved forward vigorously and it didn’t take him long to finish buying their stuff. 

After purchasing their things, the two continued to walk together toward the classroom. 

As they walked up the stairs they bumped into Jin Siming who didn’t look fully awake yet as she carried her bag over her shoulder.

Jin Siming obviously noticed Yao Jin as well.
She didn’t expect Yao Jin would return to school so soon while looking perfectly healthy and holding three bottles of milk in her arms. 

However, when she thought about what happened in the infirmary again, her expression froze and she abruptly turned her head around and pretended not to have seen the other party as she walked up the stairs with her long legs. 

But then she heard Yao Jin’s coquettish voice greet her first, “Classmate Jin, good morning~” 

Jin Siming paused, but directly ignored her as she continued to climb up the stairs. 

“Thank you for carrying me to the infirmary yesterday.” 

Jin Siming’s foot slipped and she almost fell. 

“Y-You, how do you know it was I who carried you to the infirmary?” 

Her heartbeat sped up and her face flipped through many expressions quite dramatically.
Yao Jin…couldn’t have possibly remembered what happened in the infirmary, right?

Yao Jin’s raised eyes narrowed at her expression and the corners of her lips raised up with a hint of playfulness, “Gao Mei told me.
Didn’t many classmates see what happened at the time?” 

Hearing her words, Jin Siming breathed a sigh of relief and then she pursed her lips in annoyance, “No need to thank me.
If it weren’t for the teacher asking me personally to carry you, I wouldn’t have done it.” 

After saying these words, she turned back around and headed upstairs. 

“Jin Siming’s temper really is to…Jin-Jin, don’t be angry.” 

The boy standing next to her said in a displeased tone as he glared at Jin Siming’s back. 

Yao Jin smiled and slowly made her way up the stairs with the bottles of milk in her arms.

Our Jin-Jin has no choice but to use milk as a replacement as she doesn’t know what happened in the infirmary.
