On her way back to the classroom, Yunhua had to try her very best to suppress her smile.

Her seat was in the last row as no one was willing to sit with her.

Compared to her, Xiao Ruyue’s seat was the middle seat of the 3rd row, which happened to be the “Golden Location”.

Yunhua had just sat down when Xiao Ruyue walked over and joined her on her seat, sticking close to her.

“Huahua, why did you just arrive? I thought you would come early.” Xiao Ruyue smiled warmly.

Yunhua humphed, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Han Lulu. Getting harassed the moment I entered school. She wanted to know where I was, check my phone and she still wouldn’t believe me when I told her I lost it.”

Xiao Ruyue’s smile became stiff momentarily before she continued, “It’s best to stay clear of Han Lulu, her dad is the dean and our form teacher is her aunt too. If you do piss her off…”

“I didn’t do anything!” Yunhua was angry, “I didn’t do anything but she slandered me, saying I was trying to seduce He Yuxiang! Something is seriously wrong with her. I don’t even like He Yuxiang, why would I try to seduce him?!”

Xiao Ruyue blinked in surprise and exclaimed, “What?”

Yunhua humphed again before suddenly smiling and hugging Xiao Ruyue’s arm. “Yueyue, you’re my best friend, you should know who I like right?”

Xiao Ruyue’s smile was slightly stiff as she replied, “Of course, you like Qi senpai. Don’t worry about it, there are some girls who don’t like him but that’s normal.”

Yunhua fluttered her eyes and coyly said, “Yueyue, I have good news, I got to tell you about it or I’m gonna suffocate from the excitement!”

“Tell me about it.”

Yunhua upped her act, hesitating even more before moving close to Xiao Ruyue and whispering by her ears, “Yueyue, I only just knew about this a few days ago but it seems… It seems that my grandfather and Qi senpai’s grandfather had made an agreement in the past, setting up plans for me and Qi senpai to get married! That means I’m his fiancee!”

Xiao Ruyue’s face whitened while her forceful smile became stiffer as she tried her best to reply, “Is… Is that so?”

Yunhua was grinning from ear to ear, “Of course! Before school started, Qi senpai’s grandfather had even specially sent someone to my house to find my dad and mom to tell them about this! He said that both Qi senpai and I are too young right now, but once I’m 15, we’ll become engaged and then we can get married after we graduate!”

Xiao Ruyue had frozen completely.

Yunhua was oblivious to that, hugging Xiao Ruyue and trying to hide her excitement, “Yueyue, what do I do? I’m so excited and happy! I’ve been crushing on Qi senpai for the longest time but I’ve never imagined that I could be so lucky that I… That I would be engaged to Qi senpai! Ahhhhh! I’ve been so excited but I didn’t dare to tell anyone about it! Yueyue, why are you so quiet? Aren’t you happy for me too?”

Xiao Ruyue was speechless, at this moment, her heart was full of hatred!

On what grounds is Yunhua fit to be Qi senpai’s fiancee? Just what does she have to qualify her as Qi senpai’s fiancee?

It was at this moment that the door slammed open with a “BANG!”

Han Lulu was standing at the back of the class, shouting angrily, “Xiao Ruyue you bitch! Come out right now!”

Surprised by the commotion, the entire class turned to look towards the back, then at Xiao Ruyue.

Xiao Ruyue was gentle, graceful and generous. A class committee member that was liked by all the students. Did Han Lulu and Xiao Ruyue not have a good relationship? If so, then what was the fuss about?

Xiao Ruyue acted innocent.

“Luoluo, what happened? Did someone make you angry?” Xiao Ruyue smiled sweetly and asked with a gentle voice.

Seeing her act all innocent enraged Han Luoluo.

She thought back to the previous night where she had bought a bunch of students to the

Archive Room to catch Yun Hua. Who could foresee that it was her dad and aunt that she would be catching…

Even though her dad had called each student to his office and had them promise to remain silent about the incident, that did not and could not change the looks that Han Luoluo got from her classmates.

She could not stand it at all!

All these were part of Xiao Ruyue’s plan!

The person who He Yuxiang likes is Xiao Ruyue but Xiao Ruyue lied to her, saying that it was Yunhua that He Yuxiang liked. She even went so far asA to say that Yunhua was seducing He Yuxiang and even sent her to catch them.

In the end, she caught her dad and aunt instead of Yunhua!

Han Luoluo was full of rage when she thought back to the scene last night!

Then, her anger only intensified after looking at Xiao Ruyue’s sweet smile.

She strode across to Xiao Ruyue and grabbed her by her hair!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Han Luoluo violently started slapping Xiao Ruyue!

Everyone was stunned!

Even Xiao Ruyue was shocked. Tears appeared in her eyes as she looked at Hao Luoluo with fear and innocent. As she tried her best to avoid the blows, she kept trying to justify her innocence.

“Luoluo, you must have mistaken something…”

“What are you doing! You can’t just hit someone for no reason!” Yuhua stood up quickly and rushed to shield Xiao Ruyue.

Yuhua stared at Han Luoluo angrily.

In response, Han Luoluo only snickered coldly and continued yanking on Xiao Ruyue’s hair.

“Still treating her as your best friend and protecting her? Heh, don’t you know who was the one who told me that you were seducing He Yuxiang? Who else but her!”

Yuhua froze.

She looked at Han Luoluo and kept on shaking her head.

“That’s impossible, I’m sure! Yueyue knows who I like, how could she possibly tell you that I was seducing He Yuxiang! Yueyue, say something!”

Xiao Ruyue just sniffled and did not answer the question.

“Luoluo, you must have mistaken something…”

All she could do was keep on repeating the same sentence over and over.

“Mistaken?” Han Luoluo gritted her teeth, “You told me that Yunhua was seducing He Yuxiang. You even told me that she and He Yuxiang were meeting up in the archive room last night… And what was the truth? The one seducing He Yuxiang is you! You had everyone fooled that you and Yunhua were good friends when you were backstabbing her!”

“I didn’t…” Xiao Ruyue kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes, looking weak and pitiful.

“Fuck me. Who are you acting for?” Han Luoluo laughed coldly, “acting nice and kind when in reality you’re sly and rotten to the core! How about I tear apart your face? See how you can seduce people after that!”

Finishing, she moved to punch Xiao Ruyue’s face.

At this moment, He Yuxiang, who has just come into the classroom, roared and rushed towards Han Luoluo!

He slapped Han Luoluo hand away and shoved her away.

She staggered backwards and slammed against the back door of the classroom.

Then He Yuxiang went to comfort Xiao Ruyue.

He Yuxiang looked at the crying Xiao Ruyue, he didn’t know what to do but his rage was only growing by the second.

Looking at the pitiful Xiao Ruyue, He Yuxiang was really pissed off.

He turned and stared coldly at Han Luoluo.

“Are you crazy? What’s your problem!”

Criticism from anyone else wouldn’t matter to Han Luoluo, but this is He Yuxiang!

She loves him so much, but not only is he protecting the witch, Xiao Ruyue, but even scolding her!

Han Luoluo bit her lips, feeling wronged…

Then, she started arguing with He Yuxiang.

“This bitch told me that you and Yuhua were dating in the Archive Room so I brought a crowd over last night. All because of her! Yuxiang, don’t get tricked by her! This is all an act!”

“You shut up!” He Yuxiang shouted, “I think you need to wake up from your dream. Get back to your seat or get out. Otherwise, don’t blame me if what happened last night leaks out!”

“He Yuxiang!” Han Luoluo’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at He Yuxiang in disbelief.

Damnit, she didn’t expect that he would use last night’s happenings to threaten her in order to protect Xiao Ruyue.

Yet, she had no choice.

There was no way she could let what happened last night leak out. Her dad had just barely managed to silence everyone after so much trouble. If it did leak out, her dad and aunt’s reputation would be ruined!

Also… Her mom would be deeply affected, causing her already weak body to deteriorate further…

Han Luoluo bit down on her lips hard and looked at He Yuxiang with disappointment and pain.

However, she chose to bear with it and returned to her seat.

As for Xiao Ruyue’s side, He Yuxiang was carefully comforting her.

“Han Luoluo and her bad temper… Come, let me bring you to freshen up.”

Xiao Ruyue wiped her tears and smiled at He Yuxiang, “Don’t blame Luoluo, it’s my fault that she misunderstood. Don’t worry, I’ll go with Huahua. Huahua, could you follow me to the toilet?”

He Yuxiang also looked towards Yunhua.

Yunhua could only look at Xiao Ruyue with confusion. She pursed her lips as if struggling to get the mind straight.

“Yueyue, I… You know how I am, was what Han Luoluo said true? Why would you tell her that I like He Yuxiang? You know very clearly who I like!”

He Yuxiang frowned remembering the hints that Xiao Ruyue made about that. However, he has always liked Xiao Ruyue and thought that was being very obvious already!

Xiao Ruyue quickly shook her head.

“Huahua, Luoluo must have mistaken something. I’ve never said that since I know that it’s Qi senpai that you like…”

Yunhua still looked confused and nodded hesitantly.

Xiao Ruyue sighed in relief. She didn’t ask again and just headed to the toilet alone. What she didn’t realise was the stare from Yunhua that was full of hatred that.

Yunhua sat on her seat and smirked.

The Xiao Ruyue in her previous life was a good girl in everyone’s eyes. Gentle, graceful and kind. To the class, Xiao Ruyue was particularly nice to Yunhua. No matter what trouble Yunhua got into or even after all the nasty rumours spread, Xiao Ruyue was the only one who continued being nice to Yunhua.

Everyone liked Xiao Ruyue, so they sided with her when the conflict between Yunhua and Xiao Ruyue happened.

This time, the mask of kindness that Xiao Ruyue wears has already being peeled away a little.

At least, Han Luoluo knows how Xiao Ruyue truly is like…

Yunhua smiled lightly.

Heh.

Ruyue… The show has barely started!

To steal Qi Zhiheng from Yunhua… It’s nowhere as easy as you think!

The form teacher, Liao Yonghong, took time off.

Supposedly, it was two months of rest to recover from a sickness.

As such, the teacher of the next class, Xiao Qiuci, would be taking over.

If you were to ask anyone who is the most beautiful teacher of Nan Xi Middle School, the answer would no doubt be Xiao Qiuci!

Given Xiao Qiuci’s mannerism, she seemed more like a famed celebrity than a middle school teacher.

Her daughter, Xiao Ruyue, also had the same demeanour. The was the result of growing up under the same expectations that people have for her mother.

Any student would start singing praises if asked about their opinion of Xiao Ruyue.

Words like gentle, kind and elegant are all synonymous with Xiao Ruyue!

Yunhua’s goal is to tear away the masks of kindness that Xiao Qiuci and Xiao Ruyue wear.

No way is she going to allow her and her mother’s life to be destroyed by those two again!

“Students, lessons will start now. Teacher Liao is uncomfortable and is on leave. The school has decided to have me take over for the time being.” Xiao Qiuci was standing on the podium, wearing a black and white patterned cheongsam. It was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. “I don’t have any experience in being a form teacher, please do take care of me.”

Having such a gentle and beautiful teacher ask the students to take care of her proved to win the hearts of the students instantaneously.

The class burst into enthusiastic applause.

In front of the gentle Xiao Qiuci, the original troublemakers seemed almost shy and didn’t cause any trouble at all!

“In two more weeks, the autumn sports meeting of our school will begin. This year’s sports meeting is of unprecedented scale and even there will be reporters. The rewards for winning are also unprecedented… Of course, the reward is secondary. The most important thing is to defend the honor of our class!”

Xiao Qiuci smiled. “I hope that every student will prepare well and sign up to achieve the highest glory for our class. Is everyone confident?”

“Yes!” The whole class shouted, full of enthusiasm.

“That’s great! I’ll also put this out there. Any student who places top three in any event gets treated to a meal by me!”

The whole class was even more excited and started cheering.

Yunhua was going to participate in the school sports meeting too, but she’s not doing so for Xiao Qiuci, she is in it for herself!

In the last life, when Yunhua was about to participate in the National Middle School Swimming Championship, Xiao Ruyue broke her legs and ended her swimming dreams.

This time round, she will not allow anyone to destroy her dreams!

This school sports meeting marks a new starting point for her life!

After school, Yunhua did not wait for Xiao Ruyue as usual but walked home alone.

She still has things to do!

Dad will soon divorce her mother. Her mother has no education and in the past two years in Jiangxi City, she’s just been a housewife and has not gone out to find a job.

Once divorced, her mother will have to give up custody of Yunhua to her father because of she has nothing!

In this life, Yunhua will not allow the same events to happen!

Even if Dad and Mom are divorced, she will definitely choose to be with her mother. Of course, that could only happen if she has money!

Now her mother doesn’t know anything and still loves her father. Yunhua can’t possibly tell her mother the truth. There is no way her mother will believe her!

So, Yunhua was going to get the money herself!

Yunhua’s father, Yun Congjun, came to Jiangxi City to work while Yunhua was still in Primary School.

He contacted a lot of army veterans and set up a security company.

The company had a shaky start. Yun Congjun was very busy and had no time to take care of Yunhua and her mother.

It was only until two years ago that Yun Congjun brought Yunhua and her mother to Jiangxi City, reuniting the family.

Back in the countryside, Yunhua’s grandmother favoured boys over girls and didn’t like Yunhua at all. As for Yunhua’s mother, Jiang Huan Qing… She was bullied frequently as she didn’t have any family members. However, for Yunhua’s sake, Jiang Huan Qing silently endured everything.

However, Jiang Huan Qing’s never compromised on Yunhua’s education. Together with Yunhua’s natural talent, she is frequently top of the school!

When they were reunited with Yunhua’s dad, Yun Congjun, they originally thought that moving out of the countryside and away from Yunhua’s grandmother would lead to a better life.

The previous Yunhua could never imagine how her life would become a living hell bit by bit!

Originally, Yunhua had excellent grades. After falling for Xiao Ruyue’s scheme, she lost her reputation with the teachers and students. No matter where she went, people pointed at her and avoided her.

It wasn’t just her reputation. Same goes for her achievements.

After the engagement with Qi Zhiheng was called off, then the mother and her father got divorced. Suffering these blows, Yunhua became extremely depressed and no longer had the will to study.

The last straw was the National Middle School Swimming Championship where Xiao Ruyue broke her leg. The surgery could not help her recover fully, so she couldn’t walk properly ever since, much less participate in a swimming competition.

Yunhua became wasted, both psychologically and physically.

It might seem that it was the end of the road. Despite her refusal to leave her room, Yunhua’s talent still found an opportunity to shine.

She spent her time online all the time reading novels, and then she came up with the idea of ​​writing novels.

Her writing skill was great, and she has been on a streak ever since.

Originally, it was just a way to vent her emotions. Who could imagine that Yunhua actually managed to come up with a bestseller!

Her first novel was a hit and it was published by publishers!

As a result, she earned a generous licensing fee!

At that time, Yunhua found motivation once again. While she could not continue swimming, she could write novels and become a writer!

Yunhua wrote day and night, pumping out books one at a time. In just over a year, she had already garnered massive popularity on the internet!

Yunhua could never imagine that Xiao Ruyue would be there to ruin her last chance!

When she just started, she realised that she couldn’t sign the contract if she was under 18 years old. At that time, she didn’t think much about it and used her father’s ID card directly since she didn’t expect much from it.

The truth was that the website has a plan for minors, which requires the identity card of the guardian to create the account of the underage author.

However, Yunhua follow this step of procedures, but directly signed the contract using the ID card of her father, Yun Congjun! In other words, from the website’s perspective, the pen name of this famous writer belongs to Yun Congjun!

Then, through various tricks, Xiao Ruyue got Yun Congjun to contact the website to explain the situation. He said that the pen name actually belongs to his daughter, Yun Ruyue and that she used his ID card as she was not 18 years old when signing the contract!

Because of this, the website re-signed a new contract with Yun Congjun and Xiao Ruyue.

As a result, the book that Yunhua poured her heart and soul into as well as the famous pen name became Xiao Ruyue’s!

Since then, Yunhua did not get a single penny out of the books or the pen name!

With this, Xiao Ruyue took away Yunhua’s last glimpse of hope!

Yunhua couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands.

Forgive?

Not a chance!

As of now, nothing has happened yet and she will not let her life become that hell again.

She needs to finish all the preparation before those tragedies occur.

It was 2006 and computers were starting to become common. While the students in the rural areas might only see them in school and at net cafes, the students in the cities would typically have one at home.

The novels now were still relatively simple, unlike the scene 10 years later. In just 10 years, the numbers of genres have increased massively, with all sorts of weird plots.

In short, while the writing skills of the current authors were better, the plot was not as complex.

For example, the “reborn” genre which has just started becoming popular now would become a cliched genre 10 years later.
