TFSRITA Chapter 133

Aside from the five people in her dorm who were too afraid to hang out with her, everyone else actively sought her out.

At first, they approached cautiously, but seeing that Yan Qing, although slightly sharper after her change, was still quite easygoing, more and more people started enjoying her company.

Whenever Yan Qing encountered a problem, she no longer insisted on asking the tutor she had hired. Instead, she chose to ask classmates who were a bit better at academics.

Although this was the lowest-performing class, the questions Yan Qing asked were so basic.

“Yan Qing, look at this,” said Xu Dongfeng, the small boy with glasses who had been innocently dragged into things last time. He held up his phone and, with a worried look, pushed his glasses up and whispered, “I just found this. You should clear it up as soon as possible.”

Yan Qing took the phone and glanced at it, surprised. “Who posted this?”

Xu Dongfeng shook his head. “I don’t know. It was pushed to me automatically. This post has been up for almost a day now, and it’s already gotten over five thousand comments and four thousand shares…”

The phone screen showed a Weibo post from a major influencer:
“Fan submission: A perfect example of a plain girl’s transformation at our school. Girls, never give up on yourselves! As long as you can get money, even if you’re the most inconspicuous, you can become the most eye-catching!”
It included several photos, creating a nine-grid collage of various images of Yan Qing at different times.

Yan Qing took a moment to appreciate the sarcasm in the post before clicking on the images.

The first one was a photo from her freshman year, with a red circle around her, highlighting her as the focus.

In this photo, the original owner still had long bangs that covered her face. She was small and thin, with darkened skin from military training, forced to tan under the summer sun by Yan Yue. At that time, she was not at all attractive.

The next few photos were official ID shots and various group photos from events like spring and fall outings or sports days. Yan Qing was like the ugly duckling of the class.

But the last three photos were completely different—Yan Qing was wearing a beautiful dress, and delicate sandals, her hair a different color, and her body fuller. She was even wearing a necklace.

One of the photos showed her just stepping out of a black car, with the model of the car clearly visible.

The internet never lacks talent.

“This dress is the new summer collection from Y brand. I remember it cost 40k a piece.”

“I know that necklace! It’s worth 660k! It was designed by Z brand, perfect for young girls around 17 or 18!”

“Wait, that car… I think it costs several million, right?”

“So she must have hooked up with a rich guy?”

“The transformation is huge! I can barely believe it’s the same person!”

“I know her. She’s from our high school. I’ve never seen her before, but this semester she just appeared out of nowhere. I’ve seen her a few times in the cafeteria. She’s really pretty and has great vibes. I even told my friends, ‘Where did this rich girl transfer from?'”

“I know her. She’s from the special class, but her grades aren’t great. If she weren’t so honest, she would’ve been expelled a long time ago.”

“So she’s been hooking up with a rich guy! I knew it! She used to wear other people’s old clothes, and now she’s suddenly a lady! Why doesn’t the school expel her? What a garbage school!”

“Decoded? Is this what today’s girls are like? She’s just a high school student, right?”

On the internet, anything that piques people’s interest can quickly go viral.

What started as a regular post took off because it was shared by an influencer with nearly a million followers. It touched on social issues, and the photos, though taken secretly, still showed a stunning girl.

As a result, it spread quickly with comments ranging from jokes and sarcasm to pity.

In the end, it was all about how Yan Qing had hooked up with a wealthy man, which led to discussions about female high school students in general. What started as a single incident quickly turned into a broader conversation, and the situation seemed to escalate as more comments came in.

No one mentioned plastic surgery, likely because the person posting knew that she hadn’t had time for a major transformation in just two months of summer.

After reading all of this, Yan Qing remained calm, and then carefully clicked on the last three pictures. Two of them were taken at the school gate, and one was in a classroom.

Xu Dongfeng, seeing that she seemed completely unfazed, became a little anxious. “Aren’t you going to handle this? You should call your family and have them suppress it. If you send a lawyer’s letter, they’ll take it down.”

Yan Qing smiled, looking at the worried young boy in surprise. “You don’t believe this, do you?”

Xu Dongfeng was serious. “Of course, I don’t believe it!” He adjusted his glasses and said earnestly, “I know you, I know you’re not that kind of person.”

Yan Qing nodded. “Thanks, but I need your help with something.”

Xu Dongfeng pounded his chest. “Say it. I’ll handle it.”

It was break time, and class was about to start, so Yan Qing didn’t have him act immediately. She first focused on attending class.

When Xu Dongfeng returned to his seat, he kept glancing over at her, still looking a bit stunned by how calm she was.

Yan Qing returned to her seat as well.

Her desk mate, who had gotten along well with her before, subtly moved away from her, as if not wanting to sit too close.

The class was quietly whispering as they watched her.

Yan Qing glanced diagonally behind her and locked eyes with someone. But as soon as the person saw her, they panicked, quickly lowering their head and starting a conversation with their friends.

She had probably identified the person responsible. Yan Qing thought about how to handle this.

But when she saw the unfinished test paper in front of her, she hesitated for a moment before pulling out her phone, opening a conversation with Chu Yang, and typing the message: “One million. Can I borrow your company’s legal team for a favor?”
