TFSRITA Chapter 132

The three of them couldn’t beat one person, and they’re calling it an accident? That’s just self-deception.

They couldn’t win, so all they could do was watch the person they liked suffer as she fell for Yan Qing. It was painful!

Diao Xinyi wanted to say something but, seeing this, turned away in frustration, feeling helpless.

Yan Qing could hear the commotion from Yuan Ye’s side. Her hearing was sharp, and the instincts of her new body made her subconsciously pay attention to him.

But she didn’t react.

A bitter feeling surged in her chest, and she exhaled sharply, trying to calm the discomfort in her heart.

Yuan Ye had undoubtedly grown up in an environment where he was favored, never considering others’ feelings, especially not the original owner, who had been a stranger to him at the time.

But he didn’t know how embarrassing it had been for the original Yan Qing when her love letters were exposed. The words he had said back then had made her feel, for a moment, as though she wished she could die.

Yuan Ye had no idea, so now he could still freely say, “I like it.”

Yan Qing pretended not to hear, focusing intently on solving basic problems for her third-year subjects.

Yuan Ye waited for a while. Seeing her sitting up straight with her head slightly lowered, writing something, he clicked his tongue, leaned back in his chair, and made a loud, grating sound as it scraped against the desk behind him. But no one said anything. The boys, knowing it was him, tacitly pretended nothing had happened, while the girls stared at him with sparkling eyes.

A few boys were still secretly glancing at Yan Qing.

After the earlier commotion, Yan Qing’s small stature had exuded an undeniable strength. They were a bit shaken.

At that moment, she seemed like a completely different person.

But they didn’t think she had changed. After all, they had seen her with her bangs pushed up before. She was pretty, with fair skin, and as the saying goes, “a white complexion covers all flaws.” She had just been too timid, and her voice had been as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

But everyone has two sides, especially… looking at the clothes Yan Qing was wearing now, it was clear she had changed.

In just one summer, something incredible must have happened to her.

Many were curious about her, hesitating whether to approach and befriend her. After all, the girl in front of them seemed to live in her world, much like the original Yan Qing had.

It felt like years since she had picked up a textbook. Even with half a month of summer tutoring, Yan Qing still struggled to keep up.

Even though this class was the lowest ranking in the grade.

So, she had to continue at her own pace. When she didn’t understand something, she took photos and asked a few teachers, who would send her audio explanations.

Yan Qing poured all her energy into studying, so when Yuan Ye, after declaring his intentions, started sending her gifts and subtly pursued her, she didn’t notice.

She placed any snacks she found on her desk on the teacher’s desk. A few times, the teacher mistakenly thought they were for her and distributed them to other students. After a few attempts, Yuan Ye stopped sending things. Whenever he tried to talk to her, she maintained a polite distance with her classmates.

The boy, used to being pampered, faced his first real setbacks. His pride wouldn’t allow him to keep trying, and he sulked, giving up on his advances. This left his classmates, who had been hoping for drama, disappointed.

Things with Chu Zhao were better than expected.

As long as no one provoked him, his emotional instability rarely flared up, so there were only a few times when Yan Qing needed to soothe him. Occasionally, he would call in the evenings to say a few words, and then go back to doing his own thing—either drawing or studying—until Yan Qing was ready for bed, at which point he would hang up.

On weekends, Yan Qing would return to the Chu family. But since the weekends were short, she usually left the next afternoon.

Dong Meng and her group no longer dared to do anything to her. Whenever they saw her, they acted like mice encountering a cat, wanting to hide.

Even during her one day off, the Chu family treated her very well, making various soups, and serving her one bowl at a time. If it weren’t for the school locking down the campus once classes resumed, Zhou Huaiya would have probably delivered lunch to her every day.

However, Yan Qing didn’t like that—it was too much trouble and wasted her study time.

An interesting phenomenon had also emerged with Chu Zhao. It seemed that he no longer needed to see Yan Qing in person; as long as he could hear her voice through the headphones, that was enough. So, when Yan Qing returned to the Chu’s house, Chu Zhao still called, even without leaving his room. He didn’t seem to have any intention of meeting her in person.

This amusing development made the Chu family laugh.

After the laughter, the family felt relieved. If this continued, Yan Qing would have her own life, and Chu Zhao could keep his “medicine.”

Now, Chu Zhao used Bluetooth headphones, which were convenient but required charging. However, having spent ten years in isolation, he was out of touch with modern technology and needed Chu Yang’s help with charging.

This made Chu Yang incredibly happy. As they interacted more, Chu Yang was no longer ignored by him, and they began to exchange a few words now and then.

To this end, Chu Yang mischievously withheld the charging instructions from Chu Zhao.

When Chu Zhao’s parents first communicated with him somewhat normally, their eyes were red. Zhou Huaiya even cried so much that she nearly fainted.

The atmosphere in the Chu family had been very happy recently, and things were going smoothly for Yan Qing as well.

She had become more beautiful and confident, her clothes and possessions, even something as small as a pencil, exuded a quiet luxury. Even though most of her classmates were still kids and didn’t know much about luxury brands, they could tell her things were of high quality. This piqued their curiosity and admiration, and slowly, they began to warm up to her.

Especially under Zhou Huaiya’s guidance, the clothes she chose were perfectly suited to her age and figure.

The clothes and her appearance complemented each other, making Yan Qing shine even more. With better nutrition, she had gained some weight, but her bone structure remained, and her skin looked fuller. Naturally, her beauty had improved, and her social standing in class had changed dramatically.
