The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 212 The female lead takes a leave of absence from school

It seems many people don't really like this girl named Lan Xingtu. This was Bai Xinyi's deepest thought after spending a week at school.

At first, Bai Xinyi hoped to get along well with Lan Xingtu and see if she could ease the misunderstanding between them—although she didn't know what the misunderstanding was, she had tried to talk to Lan Xingtu a few times. She inexplicably felt that her relationship with Lan Xingtu seemed to have deteriorated, but she didn't know why.

Other people who are reborn are invincible, but I'm just repeating the path I walked in my previous life. Bai Xinyi sighed and then began to wonder why the system hadn't come to her to let her experience what it's like to have a cheat code.

"Bai Xinyi is gone, let's go eat!" Lu Changge came over.

Bai Xinyi quickly realized what was going on and readily agreed, "Okay."

In the past few days, the relationship between Bai Xinyi, Lu Changge, and "Ying Meihua" has progressed rapidly. This is mainly because Bai Xinyi is following a popular anime IP, while "Ying Meihua" happens to be good at drawing and Lu Changge happens to be good at writing.

Isn't this perfect? ​​Moreover, Bai Xinyi was very willing to spend money and even helped "Ying Meihua" and Lu Changge attract customers, but not too many, after all, they are high school students and their primary task is to study.

Besides, Ying Meihua and Lu Changge's families aren't short of money; they can just earn some pocket money to buy things they like.

"Let's go eat. Hey? I haven't seen Ying Meihua today?" Bai Xinyi asked, a little puzzled.

"Ah, Ying Meihua, she was called to the teacher's office," Lu Changge said. "She said she'll be back soon, let's go wait for her at the office door."

"Okay, sure." Bai Xinyi agreed, and she also wanted to see if Lan Xingtu was still in the office—Lan Xingtu had just been called away by the teacher to the office and hadn't returned yet.

Two girls were just holding hands, chatting about the bizarre plot and terrible animation of a recent popular anime IP, when they heard a heart-wrenching roar from the office: "No! I won't sign! I won't drop out of school!"

Inside the office, Lan Xingtu picked up an A4 sheet of paper with writing on it from the table and tore it up: "I won't sign it! You can't sign it either! I won't drop out of school!"

Lu Renkui, who was inside Ying Meihua's body, took two steps back away from Lan Xingtu. She had just been called to Teacher Wang's office and met Lan Xingtu's parents.

Teacher Wang asked Lu Renkui, who was in Ying Meihua's body, to recount how he discovered Lan Xingtu's Hanahaki Syndrome. Teacher Wang also mentioned that Lu Renkui, who was in Ying Meihua's body before, had been given various abusive notes by Lan Xingtu during class.

Lan Xingtu's parents said they understood and that they came to help Lan Xingtu return home—they had already completed and signed the leave of absence application.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xingtu was filled with anger. She raised her hand to slap Ying Meihua, but her father stopped her.

After realizing he couldn't hit anyone, Lan Xingtu saw a printed A4 sheet of paper on the table, picked it up and tore it up, and then started going berserk.

Lu Renkui watched as fragments of an A4 sheet of paper, the contents of which were unknown, flew everywhere. He then glanced at Teacher Wang's ashen face and guessed whether these were the original copies of the homework they hadn't printed out for today.

Then Lan Xingtu's mother went over and talked to Lan Xingtu. Lan Xingtu's parents were trying to get Lan Xingtu to take a break from school and go home for the time being, so that he could come back to school after his Hanahaki disease was cured. That way, he might be able to see his favorite classmates again.

But Lan Xingtu didn't seem to buy it, and kept screaming things like, "If you don't let me see him, I'll jump off a building when I get back!"

Lan Xingtu screamed until she was exhausted, then started crying while tears streamed down her face. Lan Xingtu's parents were at a loss for what to do.

Just as Teacher Wang was about to make a move, he heard "Ying Meihua" whisper, "So what if you like someone? They're still a person, and their farts still stink."

Lu Renkui originally thought that Lan Xingtu wouldn't hear what he was saying—because Lan Xingtu's crying was quite loud.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xingtu heard her. She screamed and lunged forward, raising both arms to strike Ying Meihua: "You bitch! You're a bitch!! How could you say that to him!!!"

Then Lu Renkui pressed the Blue Star Chart onto the table.

It has to be said that it's good for the girl to be a little chubby; at least her weight can have a suppressive effect. Lu Renkui had never felt so relaxed holding someone down before.

In the end, Lan Xingtu was dragged back by her parents, howling and wailing all the way.

Okay, fine, the female lead went back to school early and took a leave of absence. Lu Renkui watched as Lan Xingtu was taken away, then went to meet up with Bai Xinyi and Lu Changge for lunch.

During his lunch break, Lu Renkui entered his consciousness space and asked the system WQBYRZM: "The female lead has dropped out of school early, so Ying Meihua's fate of being pushed off the building can be changed, right? Can we leave now?"

"Not yet, host," said System WQBYRZM. "Although you've taken the female lead away, you've forgotten about the male lead."

"Besides being classmates, the male lead and Ying Meihua don't seem to have any other connection, right?" Lu Renkui asked, somewhat puzzled.

“According to the original plot, he has nothing to do with Ying Meihua,” the system WQBYRZM said calmly. “But you and Lu Changge have been a bit too close to Bai Xinyi these past few days, so he’s already keeping an eye on you.”

"What?" Lu Renkui was stunned. "Aren't Ying Meihua and Lu Changge girls?"

“Yes, she’s a girl,” said System WQBYRZM. “But the male lead thinks that it’s enough for Bai Xinyi to only have him by her side.”

"Damn, she's a yandere too," Lu Renkui retorted.

“He is indeed sick,” said System WQBYRZM. “He’s a bit mentally ill.”

"Huh?" Lu Renkui was even more confused. "He also has a mental illness, how did you figure that out?"

"It's so troublesome to read from the original text," System WQBYRZM said with a sigh, taking a sip of tea.

"Why are you drinking tea now?" Lu Renkui asked—well, her focus was a bit strange.

“I saw you drinking jasmine tea the other day, it smelled really nice, so I’ll buy some to try.” System WQBYRZM replied.

"So you spent your hibernation period the other day doing this?" Lu Renkui said.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" System WQBYRZM didn't feel like it was being lazy at all, and sprinkled some sugar into the tea. "It's a bit bitter, let's add some sweetness to neutralize it."

"Won't your family beat you up for drinking it like this?" Lu Kui thought of her grandfather who loved drinking tea. When she was little, she would pick up her grandfather's tea leaves, brew hot water, and then add milk to make milk tea.

That day, the grandfather, who always doted on his grandchildren, raised his cane for the first time, only to be stopped by the grandmother.

"Ah, it's okay, my family doesn't care about these things." System WQBYRZM took another sip without a care in the world, and feeling that it wasn't sweet enough, added a spoonful of white sugar to the tea.

"Let's get back to the main point. The male lead is mentally ill. I learned this from the female lead's description. She saw the male lead's mental illness diagnosis."

"The male protagonist has obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and a certain degree of antisocial personality, but because he looks like a normal person on the surface, no one would think he is mentally ill."

“Many mental illnesses are like this, right?” Lu Renkui recalled his junior high school psychology teacher sharing his experience of going to a mental hospital with them.

He said that after being admitted to the hospital, the mental patients were very quiet and spoke very logically. You could only find the logical flaws if you listened carefully.

Loud and disruptive behavior is rare. The methods shown in TV dramas, such as putting on belts and administering medication, are used to treat patients with severe mental illness.
