Jean had already prepared herself for this. She’d never nned to resist; the moment the true noble returned, she intended to step aside without a fuss, take the money she’d saved, and live life on her own
terms.
But now, seeing Sarah with her own eyes, it suddenly felt like the countdown had begun-
A strange, bitter feeling stirred in Jean’s chest; something hard to describe. Was she <i>actually </i><i>reluctant</i><i>? </i>
Sienna’s face shed through her mind without warning, followed by the faces of her older brothers…

Her heart wasn’t made of stone. Even though when she firstnded in this world, she’d sworn to lie low and save up money–avoiding too much involvement with the Ginger family, nning to vanish as soon as the true noble returned–now…
Without realizing it, she had be more and more entangled with the Gingers.
She could feel the genuine love and care from her mother and brothers. If she really had to leave one day, she’d probably feel a deep sense of loss… and maybe even sorrow.
She instinctively clenched her fingers as she watched Sarah and the other kids walk in a group toward the Sterford Academy academic building. <i>Why </i><i>was </i><i>Sarah </i><i>here</i><i>? </i>
ording to the original plot, she should still be living in the countryside,pletely unaware of <b>her </b>real identity.
Jean pulled her gaze away and took out her phone. She opened the Sterford Academy campus forum and quickly made a post: “Saw a bus drop off a bunch of middle schoolers near the academic building today. They didn’t look like they were from our school–their clothes were really simple, looked like they were from a rural area. Does anyone know what that’s about?”
When it came to stuff like this, the fastest way to find answers was usually through the forum.
Sure enough, replies rolled in fast.
“It’s probably the Starlight Project.”

“The school’s running this program called the Starlight Project–basically, they bring rural areas to visit Sterford Academy, see how we study, and experience our advanced equipment. Long story short, it’s just the school letting a bunch of country kidse see the big city.”
“The post above exined it well. Still, why’s the school even doing this? They can’t even manage their own students and now they’re worried about kids in the mountains.”
“Those bumpkins are already here? That was fast.”
“I’m totally going to check them out after ss<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“Ugh, this whole thing is annoying. Let them visit, fine, but if they mess with my studying, I’m gonna lose
it.”

She put her phone away and, without realizing it, wandered toward the border between the middle and high school buildings.
A few more steps and she’d be at the high school building–where Jiang Qiche studied.
She was bored anyway, so she kept walking, slipped past the fence, and entered the high school section.
Nearby was a bike lot, filled with all kinds of bicycles and mountain bikes. Jean looked around absently- and then, suddenly-
As she turned the corner, she saw a boy sitting in a wheelchair.
He wore the high school uniform–neat and spotless. The wind tugged at his dark hair, lifting a few strands, and from Jean’s angle, she could clearly see the pale, delicate profile of his face.
Right then, the boy was leaning forward in his chair, stretching his arm as far as he could to reach a pen on the ground.
But he still couldn’t quite get to it.
Watching him struggle, Jean couldn’t help but walk over. She bent down and picked up the pen.
“Here.” She straightened up and held the pen out to the boy in the wheelchair.
