Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shi Yan High School consisted of three blocks with a long corridor that connects the second and third-year buildings. Su Junxin was responsible for wiping the gangway of this long corridor.

There was a massive commotion in the school’s campus at that very moment; people were constantly walking in and out of that long corridor, yet somehow Su Junxin was able to work through her cleaning quickly.

However, just as she was about to go to the washroom to clean her tablecloth, a familiar voice suddenly called out to her.

“Su Junxin?”

She followed the voice and turned her head, only to see that three girls were standing behind her.

Two of the girls seemed unfamiliar, but the one standing between them instantly made her recall a few memories. 

‘He Wei, the only friend of my original host, also her so-called “best friend.” Both of them were classmates during their first year. He Wei has a gentle and understanding personality; however, soon after school started, she became the person in class with the most friends. Yet, she began chatting with my original host on her own accord, pulling her to have their meals together. She would sometimes send my original host some small gifts, causing her to feel very touched. In fact, she even thought of He Wei as the only person other than her parents who sincerely treated her well in this world.

‘He Wei may have been able to trick the original host of this body, but not me. The only reason why she befriended her was that the original host of my body was in the Study Committee – the original host of this body would tally all the homework before it was submitted to the form teacher. After He Wei became friends with her, she would come up with all kinds of excuses not to hand in her homework.’

‘Since the original host of this body didn’t want to lose her only friend, she would be coerced into removing He Wei’s name from the name list every time. After that, the situation worsened. Not only did He Wei do that, but even a few of her close friends also followed suit. The original host of this body had unknowingly become an accessory for them to escape homework and punishment, sometimes even having to burn the midnight oil to do their homework for them.’

‘The original host of this body actually did try to advise He Wei against doing so, but He Wei is simply not someone she is able to go up against. He Wei would put on a pitiful expression and swear that she would change so that the original host of this body would go soft on her and let her pass again and again.’

‘He Wei’s behavior towards her is literally another form of school bullying!’

While Su Junxin was sizing He Wei up, He Wei was also doing the same.

She had actually grown tired of Su Junxin. Furthermore, after they had ended up in different classes, Su Junxin was no longer useful to her. She had deliberately refused to look for Su Junxin, hoping that Su Junxin would instinctively go to her class to look for her. When that happened, He Wei would cut off all ties with her. By doing so, not only would she be able to get rid of the needy girl, but she might even be able to use the opportunity to befriend the few rich students in her class.

He Wei had already thought of her entire plan in detail, yet she did not expect that Su Junxin would not appear the entire morning. Thus, she was both angry and puzzled. Furthermore, she made use of the spring cleaning session to find out what was going on.

As a result, what she saw made her completely befuddled.

‘I’ve known for a long time that Su Junxin is a beautiful woman, but because she’s usually weak and has low esteem, she would usually subconsciously hunch and would always wear old-fashioned glasses for her short-sightedness. Hence, no matter how pretty she looked, she wouldn’t have been attractive at all; that’s why I never thought of her as my rival.

‘However, she looks like a completely different person now. Her jet black hair has been tied up into a ponytail, plus her glasses have been removed, causing her to show off her exquisite features. Also, her original height, which was close to 1.7m, stood out pretty clearly now that she did not hunch and straightened her back. I just can’t take my eyes off her.’

However, what shocked He Wei the most was the aura Su Junxin exuded at that moment. Not only was she extremely attractive, but the aura around her had also completely changed. In fact, when Su Junxin turned around to look at her, He Wei unknowingly felt nervous.

He Wei was startled and was a little uncertain of herself; hence, she asked, “Su Junxin?”

Su Junxin expressionlessly let off an “En” sound in acknowledgment. “Is something the matter?”

Faced with such a sudden change in attitude, He Wei thought that Su Junxin might have found out about something, so she probed by asking, “Junxin, you’ve really gone through a huge change after having not met for an entire summer’s vacation… Right, I was feeling rather under the weather today, that’s why I didn’t come and look for you today. Are you mad at me?”

Su Junxin slightly raised an eyebrow, her tone still as casual as before as she answered, “No.”

When He Wei noticed that Su Junxin did not seem like she was lying, she heaved a sigh of relief. Soon after, He Wei’s eyes curved into a friendly smile.

“In that case, why didn’t you come and look for me today? I was waiting in the classroom for you all this time. I even thought of introducing you to my new friends.”

When Su Junxin heard that, her eyes swiftly scanned through the two girls beside He Wei as she let out an “Oh.” 

After she said that, she took a few steps towards He Wei and slightly bent her waist with her eyes squinted. Her gaze scanned from He Wei’s eyes down to her mouth before staring right into her eyes.

When faced with a gaze with unknown meaning, He Wei’s heart raced for a moment. She was slightly frustrated as she retreated. 

However, Su Junxin followed closely as she took a step forward towards He Wei.

“Junxin, what are you doing…”

Su Junxin sneered, revealing her pearl-white canine teeth; her smile was slightly demonic as she spoke with a very low tone, interrupting He Wei. “Introduce me to your friends, you say? After that… You’d ask me to do your homework for you and squeeze the very last drop of my usefulness, is that right?”

He Wei’s face instantly turned pale as she stuttered while being frozen on the spot.

Su Junxin very quickly retracted her smile and straightened her back as she waved the tablecloth in her hand.

“Is there anything else? I need to head back to cleaning now.”

From Su Junxin’s waving cloth, a few drops of filthy water droplets stained He Wei’s collar, instantly causing her to growl softly as she hurriedly retreated. Just as she was about to become angry, she instantly became mute again when she met the cold gaze in front of her.

Meanwhile, Su Junxin turned around and walked off without even looking back once.

At the sight of that situation, the girls who stood beside He Wei could not help but speak up; their words had a hint of sarcasm in them. “He Wei, is she the little follower you were talking about? It didn’t seem like that, though.”

“That’s right! Didn’t you say she was weak-minded and loved to stick to you? Why did I feel that she was rather cold towards you earlier?”

He Wei had just regained her senses at that moment; fear still lingered within her. However, when she turned around to look at the other two girls, she instantly put on a friendly smile.

“Junxin might be in a bad mood today. After all… She’s from a pretty complicated family.”

The moment she said that, He Wei quickly scanned the area in the direction Su Junxin had disappeared into and clenched her fists. A hint of anger and viciousness flashed beneath her eyes.

‘Su Junxin, since you’re the one who started to fall out with me first, don’t blame me for being cruel later on. As long as I isolate you, no one will believe what you say ever again…’

When the two girls found out that there was some gossip to be heard, they instantly became interested.

“What do you mean? What’s wrong with her family?”

He Wei deliberately hesitated a little while before raising her eyebrows and heaving a sigh. “Actually… Su Junxin’s mom passed away from an illness a long time ago… her father was also suspected to have committed suicide because he had owed a huge sum of money to loan sharks…”

“No wonder she’s dressed so rustically; everything she wears is so old-fashioned. The reason was that she’s an orphan…”

“Pfft; she’s even an orphan who’s got huge debts! What a pitiful woman!”

“What else do you know, He Wei? Hurry up and tell us!”

“Sigh, the both of you mustn’t spread whatever I’m telling you now. I’m only telling you all these because I trust the two of you!”

“We promise not to tell anyone anything!”

“Our lips are tightly sealed! You’re the best, He Wei. Hurry up and tell us!”

“Alright then, it goes like this…”
