Lin Guiying, who wasn"t paying attention, actually...!Continued not paying attention!
She did absolutely nothing! She was of no help to the situation!

But even though she was useless, somehow, the lunch was saved.
A hand extended from under the lunch. It seemed like it came from the floor.
It caught the lunch box, stopping its repeated revolution. The hand then moved the lunch box to catch the falling ingredients one by one.
The fast hand swooped by the white rice grains that were a centimeter from touching the similarly colored tiles, going into its appropriate compartment, and the same with the meat and the hotdog.
Ye Muqi, who was about to walk away of embarra.s.sment, widened her eyes in shock as she watched the lunch box she brought flying around in a speed she couldn"t comprehend.
Zhou Lei, who was a second from turning his head away to avoid seeing the crime scene about to occur, let out a sigh of relief seeing that the not only did the lunch box not fall, it also caught the foods that flew out of it amidst its descent.
Fan Xinyue and Ma Xiaoli glanced at each other. Both had grins on their faces, knowing that their common enemy, Lu Xi, had her plan flop and implode on itself.
And as they expected, Lu Xi"s gaze turned terrifying as she scanned the floor to see just who was it that dared to catch the lunch box!
There it was, the hand that caught the lunch box, placing said item gently on the floor.
Lu Xi followed the hand with her eyes, then she went to the arm, and then the face...!
It was... the no-name background character! The one that blocked Ye Muqi"s way previously!
"H- huh? Who"re you?" Lu Xi couldn"t recognize who the girl was either. She expected the girl to be one of her cla.s.smates, but she surprisingly wasn"t!
Even worse, she didn"t even wear the same uniform as they did, meaning that they didn"t attend the same school...
Everyone had the same thought in their mind: "Who is this girl, and how did she get in?"
The girl felt everyone"s gazes land on her, and she quickly stood up. With a swift movement of her feet, she threw herself up to standing position.
Squinting her eyes, she zipped up the gray jacket that she had on and wore the hoodie above her head.
While everyone was still dumbfounded, the girl sneaked out of the cla.s.sroom. She jumped out of the window, landing on the roof of a smaller building beside the school.
Out of everyone"s sight, she placed a small black earpiece on her left ear and pressed on it. "Mission accomplished..."
While walking, she placed her hand on her jawline, grabbed her skin, and started to pull it off. The skin got peeled off, revealing an extremely beautiful face under the mask.
Without hesitation, she continued to jump over rooftops, leaving the vicinity.
.....
Only after a few seconds did everyone regain their consciousness.
"...What just happened?" Lu Xi, who was formerly full of anger, was now full of confusion. Even though she knew no one could answer the question, she couldn"t help but ask.
"I don"t know." Zhou Lei shrugged his shoulders, without a shred of knowledge about what just occurred in front of him. "Well, it"s not everyday that a girl from another school suddenly appears inside the cla.s.sroom, not to mention exit through the window by jumping out."
"...Anyway! I"m glad she was here. Otherwise, a certain someone would have ruined the lunch."
Ye Muqi composed herself. She had too much pride to let herself be seen all fl.u.s.tered. Bending on her knees, she reached for the lunch box on the floor and put it in the safety of her hands again.
Lu Xi clicked her tongue.
Zhou Lei smiled awkwardly, knowing that Lu Xi was the one who pushed the lunch box off Ye Muqi"s hand. With tension growing between them, there was bound to be a fight sooner or later.
"So... Cla.s.smate Zhou, please accept this!" Ye Muqi stretched her hand out again, giving the lunch to Zhou Lei, who was contemplating whether or not he should grab it or not.
Even though the lunch box was less presentable than before because of the fall, the taste shouldn"t taste any different. The problem was... if his own cooking, which captured the stomachs of his whole family and Lin Hanying, could not satisfy himself, how would this lunch from the cla.s.s monitor taste any good?
"Does, uh... does this taste good?"
Hearing his question, Ye Muqi felt irritated again. "Hmph, you"ll know if you eat it!"
On the side, Lin Guiying"s interest was finally caught.
"Okay, then allow me..." Ye Muqi"s challenge agitated Zhou Lei. With a slight curl on the corner of his lips, he grabbed the lunch box from Ye Muqi, brushing upon her hand.
The latter blushed, clearly enjoying the brief contact of their skin. As a young and sheltered maiden, how could she not be fl.u.s.tered by her first contact with a male? Other than her father and brother, of course.
Zhou Lei took out the spoon and fork that he always brought for emergencies. He opened the container and out came two steel utensils.
With the spoon in his left hand and the fork in his right, Zhou Lei bit his lip, not expecting anything from the dish.
To others, this might taste delicious, but to him, who had a Taste stat of over 100, it would most likely taste like stale bread, or worse, a pile of s.h.i.t.
Seeing the hesitation on Zhou Lei"s expression, Ye Muqi became annoyed once again. "Hmph, why does he keep doubting the taste of this lunch? I have to admit that his homemade lunch smells good, but it doesn"t fare any better against mine!"
A prideful grin crept up on Lin Guiying"s face. She tried her best to restrain herself, but to no avail.
Zhou Lei resolved his mind. He moved his left hand, dug under the rice, and scooped it upwards. Simultaneously, he used his fork to stab a piece of meat.
Going closer onto his tongue, Zhou Lei"s wide open mouth started to close slightly. Nevertheless, that small movement didn"t hinder the two utensils from transporting the food into his mouth.
Finally, the piece of meat arrived first.
Zhou Lei bit on the meat, its juices flowing out the instant he did so.
Those juices splashed onto his tongue...
"...Cla.s.s monitor."
"Hmm?" Ye Muqi waited for a positive response. She replied enthusiastically, thinking that he was about to praise her.
Then, she would reply with "Oh no, it"s nothing. I just cooked this casually..."
Unfortunately for her, that wasn"t what happened at all.
