The Buggiest System

74 - A Goddess Enters the Room (3)

Ruan Juan did not know what was currently happening. There were two little hands in front of her face, constantly tapping and applying something on her.

"Um..." She uttered a single sound of confusion as the small hands continued to dab something on her face.

"...and done!" Zhou Zhenya finished putting the makeup on the horrendous looking teacher. Now, she was, at least, on par to the ghost earlier.

"Huh?" Hearing that familiar voice, Ruan Juan looked around and saw a child with a satistfied look on her face. This was the same child that asked to borrow her makeup...

As she recovered from her daze, she slowly discovered what had been done to her. The mirror displayed a beautiful sight, one that even she couldn't recognize.

However, she knew that this was a mirror, and of course, that the beauty she was seeing was her herself.

"This... is me?" Ruan Juan, having just recovered from her previous daze, was falling into one again.

"Okay, that's done..." Zhou Zhenya's hands moved fast, giving the makeup back to the unresponding teacher before her. She sneaked out of the restroom, her speed increasing as she proceeded. Eventually, she made it out of the room and dashed towards her brother's classroom.

"...wait..." Ruan Juan witnessed Zhou Zhenya's exit, but all her energy was being expended on trying to comprehend what just happened, and so she did nothing but utter a quiet sound.

.....

Zhou Zhenya made it outside of the room. The door was slightly open, but she could not hear a single sound coming from the room.

"Good thing there is some glass on the door...", Zhou Zhenya thought as she peeked through the see-through material.

Her little head became visible from inside the room.

However, everyone's attention was all directed towards the teacher in front of them, making them unable to even notice her.

In front, Wen Hui was daydreaming. She even shed a single tear as she thanked the students repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Zhou Lei's head was still burrowed between his two arms.

"Err, what is happening?" Zhou Lei's curiosity almost reached its peak. His classmates had been strangely silent for over a minute now, so he didn't dare to raise his head in this inopportune time.

He kept wondering about what happened that rendered all of his classmates, well-known for being noisy, unable to utter even a single sound.

He had several theories in mind. One is that the principal just walked in and caught his classmates, well, 'grooming' him. Second is that the scariest teacher, Chen Chen arrived, and he was in a bad mood. The third is that there was an earthquake happening and he was left in the classroom while all of his classmates had already evacuated...

'No, no, no! All of these aren't feasible...', Zhou Lei thought.

Therefore, he just stayed silent as he waited for some sound.

"..."

"..."

Creak... Zhou Lei heard something coming from the door...

"..."

"..."

'Ah, I can't take it anymore!' Zhou Lei raised his head as slow as he could. To his surprise, he saw his little sister digging through his bag.

'Hmm?' He didn't believe the sight before him. At this time of the day, his sister would still be asleep, not to mention that she had no reason to follow him into his school.

Zhou Zhenya shivered as she felt that she had been caught.

Her head slowly turned to look at her brother.

'Voila, my brother was looking at me with wide eyes. Oh look, he's even rubbing his eyes to confirm that he's not just imagining seeing me!'

.....

Ruan Juan stood up and pinched the skin on her arm, just to confirm that she was not imagining the sight before her.

"This... is really me? Aha!" Ruan Juan's mood rose up drastically. She was now feeling elated and excited, feeling the urge to show her current look to her students.

Looking at the makeup on her arms, Ruan Juan walked towards her classroom.

"Hehehe..."

Inside the room, everyone was still waiting for their teacher.

'Why is she taking so long? She just fetched her laptop, right?' This was the general consensus of all of the students inside the room.

Even the otaku, whose mind was filled with thoughts of the 'CEO', was getting impatient. 'However, as she was dragged away by the 'CEO', it must be something important!'

Suddenly, the door opened, with a familiar figure walking in. There was some makeup on her right arm and a laptop on her left. Her hair was covering her face slightly. As such, not one of the numerous students noticed her new look.

Ruan Juan walked in strides. With the desk in front of her, she stopped, her back facing the students. She shoved the makeup inside of her bag and put the laptop down carefully.

As she walked towards the opposite side of the desk, her face was still facing towards the whiteboard, which was full of gibberish.

"Someone erase this." Ruan Juan ordered her students.

The students in her class still acted like everything was normal. This teacher of theirs always looked at the other side whenver her face was riddled with messy makeup.

One of them stood up, as it was his turn to clean the board. He walked towards the board, bringing his phone with him.

This was the tradition of the class. Every time their teacher faced the other way, someone would take a picture of her face and share it to their group chat.

The student made sure that his phone was undetectable, while also making sure that the camera was set on silent.

He grabbed the eraser on the desk, nonchalantly cleaning the board of the gibberish there. His free finger pressed the 'capture' button, while his head turned the other way as he tried to hide his chuckle.

Ruan Juan naturally did not notice her student take a picture of her face, but even if she did, there was no need to care. On the contrary, she would even thank this student of his!

The student finished erasing the writings off of the board, without seeing even a single glimpse of his teacher's face.
