Regina, who had left the cafeteria, didn't go far; she hid by a side door, chewing on a diet energy bar while observing the situation inside the cafeteria.
She also saw Mike and the other three members of The Plastics chatting and laughing in the middle of the cafeteria.
"A bunch of bitches—" Regina cursed through gritted teeth.
To be able to form The Plastics into the most popular all-female team in the school, the Queen Bee was naturally no simple person.
Having calmed down, she also realized that today's events were very strange; the three members of the team seemed to be intentionally targeting her.
And after carefully reviewing the entire situation, Regina seemed to realize that Cady, who appeared to be the most innocent in the team, was definitely the instigator of the whole thing.
Regardless of whether the other party was intentional or unintentional, Cady was at least half responsible for her current predicament.
"Just you wait... Once I successfully lose weight, you'll see..." Regina, at this moment, had also come to resent the other three members of The Plastics.
She was already thinking about how to return all the humiliation she suffered today once she successfully lost weight and regained her status as the Queen Bee.
Slowly, as Regina chewed on the energy bar, she felt the sweetness spread in her mouth, and her previously overly agitated mood calmed down a bit.
It must be said that when a person is feeling down, food is definitely the best comfort.
However, Regina quickly stopped chewing.
She suddenly thought that if Cady had ill intentions towards her, then the weight loss products she gave her must also be problematic.
Looking at the half-eaten energy bar in her hand, Regina glanced at it a few times, about to throw it into the trash can.
But very quickly, she stopped her action again.
Then, with a flickering gaze, Regina carefully wrapped up the remaining half of the energy bar and put it away.
She planned to go back and thoroughly investigate what kind of weight loss products Cady had given her.
At this moment, Regina had vaguely realized that these weight loss products were definitely not as simple as Cady claimed. The true culprit behind her weight gain was very likely due to these items.
As time passed, the school lunch period was also drawing to a close.
"See you this afternoon, Mike." Cady said sweetly to Mike, who was getting up to leave, bidding him farewell.
Without the pressure of the Queen Bee, Cady had put all her attention back on Mike.
"See you this afternoon." Mike waved to Cady, then discreetly exchanged an ambiguous glance with Karen, before walking out with Lina.
It could be said that without the Queen Bee's interference, Mike's lunch was filled with the blessings of multiple companions.
"That Cady seems to like you a lot," Lina whispered as she walked out of the cafeteria side by side with Mike.
"What, are you jealous?" Mike asked with a smile after taking advantage of her.
"No," Lina shook her head, her voice even softer as she said, "You're getting more and more amazing lately, it's good to have a few more sisters to share the burden..."
Seeing Lina's understanding demeanor, Mike leaned into her ear and whispered, "You're so good, I'll be gentler next time..."
...
And during the Math Olympiad study session in the afternoon, Mike also noticed that Cady's attitude towards him became increasingly eager.
The girl's fiery gaze seemed like it wanted to devour him.
"Mike, there are still some concepts I don't quite understand. Could you come to my house and tutor me?" At the end of the Math Olympiad study session, Cady eagerly extended an invitation again.
Then, she softly added, "My parents aren't home today..."
Although Cady's parents now had their own research institute, they would still occasionally take some time to conduct on-site inspections in Africa.
"No problem, I'm always happy to help others." Mike readily accepted the girl's invitation.
This innocent girl, Cady, had become increasingly charming since she learned to do makeup and dress up.
It was time for the harvest.
Subsequently, the two, with a tacit understanding, arrived at Cady's home.
"You sit for a bit, I'll go prepare something to eat. We can start studying after we've eaten." Back home, Cady arranged their next actions.
Clearly, before giving herself to him, the girl still needed a little time to mentally prepare.
"OK, whatever you say." Mike lay down on the sofa, nodding at the girl's blushing face.
About ten minutes later, Cady prepared some cooked food and bread and placed them in front of Mike.
"Wait a moment, I'll get you a glass of milk..." Cady said, then awkwardly walked towards the kitchen.
In that short time, Cady didn't just prepare food. She also took the opportunity to go to her room and change into very casual clothes.
Already possessing an athletic figure, she wore a fitted white T-shirt on top and very short white shorts on the bottom.
The simple outfit fully showcased the girl's beautiful side.
Next, the girl came towards Mike, carrying a glass of milk that was almost overflowing.
As she reached Mike, Cady seemed to trip, and with a gasp, she spilled all the milk into the air.
The incident happened so suddenly that Mike didn't even have time to react.
"Ah—"
Accompanied by a gasp, an entire glass of milk steadily poured onto Cady's clothes. The girl covered her vital parts, squirmed a few times, and shyly said, "I'm sorry, I'll go freshen up..."
With that, the girl, blushing, ran into the washroom.
"So, she was going commando—" Mike mumbled, his eyes also heating up.
That glass of milk just now had perfectly drenched the clothes on the girl's front, revealing her figure completely.
Clearly, Cady had used all the ideas her friends Janis and Damian had given her previously, but with some modifications in execution.
The milk that was originally meant to be spilled on Mike, she had spilled all over herself instead.
How could Mike not understand the girl's intentions? So, listening to the sound of running water in the washroom, he called home to ask for leave.
"Not coming home tonight? Is something wrong, Mike?" Connie asked with concern over the phone.
"Nothing, I'm staying at a classmate's house tonight..." Mike replied.
Just then, Cady's voice came from the washroom: "Mike, I forgot to get my clothes. Could you go to my room and get me something?"
"Okay, I'm coming—" Mike responded, then put the phone closer to his ear and said, "That's it, Connie, I'm hanging up now."
"Wait— I think I heard a girl's voice." Connie said gossiping over the phone, "Mike, the person you're staying with tonight is a female classmate, right?"
"Uh..." Mike said speechlessly, "I have something to do; I'll explain when I get back."
"Be careful with protection..."
As the call was disconnected, Connie's teasing reminder could still be heard through the receiver.
