《Real or Fake Missy : Female Side Boss Character Does Not Want to Die》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You slowly woke up from her sleep. The heavy feeling earlier seemed to have lightened quite a bit. She felt as if her entire body was floating. ¡°Could it be that my body has become thinner after sleeping for too long?¡± Shen you thought naively. She tried her best to open her eyes, wanting to look around. Her memory was still stuck on the day when she suddenly fainted. A month before she suddenly fainted, she seemed to have been diagnosed with ¡°Brain Glioma.¡±. ¡°This feeling¡­¡± Shen You suddenly realized something. She struggled to see everything around her. ¡°I¡¯m not¡­ dead, am I?¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯re right!¡± A voice rang out. Shen You suddenly felt her entire body regain its strength. She sat up abruptly and found herself lying in a pitch-black space. ¡°Where am I?¡± Shen you asked loudly. ¡°Who are you?¡± The voice didn¡¯t say anything else. Suddenly, a huge screen appeared in front of Shen You. Shen you couldn¡¯t open her eyes because of the dazzling light. It wasn¡¯t until she finally got used to the light that she raised her eyes to look again, only to find that the screen was playing¡­ a TV series? Shen You stared blankly at the familiar characters and plot that kept playing. ¡°This is¡­¡± Shen You looked at the familiar face which was full of tears. ¡°This is you¡­¡± The voice sounded again. Shen You was taken aback and asked loudly again, ¡°Who are you!¡± ¡°Do you want revenge?¡± The voice did not answer Shen You, but asked a strange question. ¡°No! I don¡¯t!¡± Shen You said firmly. The voice was a little surprised. ¡°You are the biological daughter of the Shen family, but you live so pitifully¡­¡± ¡°Everything in the Shen family¡­ including that man, should be yours!¡± The voice seemed to be anxious. ¡°I don¡¯t want revenge!¡± Shen You emphasized again. ¡°I only want¡­ to live¡­¡± Shen You said this with a little desolation. Her gaze was fixed on her dying body lying on the bed. She had no relatives or friends by her side. Until her death, she was all alone. Shen You felt that she had lived too sullenly! Her identity had been changed since birth! She was clearly the Shen family¡¯s daughter, but she had been abandoned in the countryside since she was young. It was not easy for the Shen family to find her when she was in her teens, but she realized that everything in the Shen family was incompatible with her. And the one who made it impossible for her to live in the Shen family was the ¡°real¡± daughter of the Shen family, Shen Jiao! A child who was originally from the countryside had become the daughter of the Shen family by accident. And Shen You had been struggling in the mud pit for more than 10 years and then was inexplicably recognized. Shen You also did not know why the Shen family had found and brought her back. It was probably because rumors were terrible! After all, someone had provided clues about the ¡®real daughter¡¯ Shen You. No matter how unwilling the Shen family was, they still had to do a paternity test to see if she was really the missing pearl. Who would have expected that this test would really find a relationship in the DNA. The Shen family was probably cursing in their hearts. Why did they have to do a paternity test for no reason? This time, they were being held up by a ¡®country bumpkin! But since the test was done, the Shen family couldn¡¯t let this daughter of theirs wander among the people anymore. Thus, under the circumstances where both parties were unwilling, Shen You was brought back to the Shen family. At the beginning, the Shen family was quite polite to Shen You. After all, they were related by blood, so they couldn¡¯t go too far. However, Shen You didn¡¯t know if she was unlucky or if she really had a conflict with Shen Jiao. Anything that had anything to do with Shen Jiao would always make Shen You the one who suffered. After a while, it was rumored that the birth dates and horoscopes of Shen You and Shen Jiao countered each other. To this, Shen You couldn¡¯t figure it out. Their birth dates and horoscopes were clearly the same. Who was the one who actually countered the other? A tear drop fell from Shen You¡¯s eyes along with her on the screen. The voice sounded in her ear again. ¡°If I ask you to do it again¡­ are you willing to do it?¡± ¡°Do it again?¡± Shen You obviously didn¡¯t understand what the voice meant. ¡°You are actually a supporting character in a book, and the protagonist of this book is Shen Jiao!¡± The voice said coldly. ¡°No wonder!¡± Shen You sighed. ¡°Who can withstand the protagonist¡¯s halo!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to die a miserable death again,¡± Shen You said with some grievance. ¡°I can help you,¡± the voice came again. ¡°How?¡± Shen You asked with confusion, with expectation flashing in her eyes. She didn¡¯t want to die yet! She hadn¡¯t lived enough! ¡°You can call me ¡®system,''¡± the voice introduced itself, ¡°Although I can¡¯t change the settings of this book¡­¡± ¡°But, I can help you, being a female supporting role, gain a new life!¡± The voice of the system sounded very determined. Shen You did not respond, only waiting quietly. ¡°I can help you return to when you were 18 years old, but¡­¡± the voice continued, ¡°You need to rely on your own strength to extend your life!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Extend my life?¡± Shen You raised her voice instantly. This was what she yearned for the most in her previous life. But it was something that she couldn¡¯t get in the end. The system¡¯s voice was still as calm as ever. ¡°Your luck value is very low. You need to accumulate your own luck value in order to extend your life!¡± ¡°How do I accumulate it?¡± Shen You asked blankly, ¡°Accomplish missions?¡± The system grunted, ¡°I¡¯m not that low-level system!¡± Shen You heard the proud voice, and she was looking forward to it. ¡°You need to acquire other people¡¯s luck to accumulate your own luck!¡± The system explained again. Hearing this, Shen You suddenly felt discouraged. ¡°What kind of accumulation method is this! It¡¯s not as fast as completing a mission!¡± Shen You could not help but complain. ¡°What do you know about this?¡± The system snorted in dissatisfaction, ¡°As long as you spend more time with the people with high luck value, gain their recognition and gradually you can improve your luck!¡± ¡°Once your luck value is accumulated to a certain level, you can obtain fate value and you can prolong your life!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded somewhat clear. Shen You seemed to hesitate. The system quickly added, ¡°You¡¯re already dead anyway!¡± ¡°Give it a try!¡± The system encouraged again, ¡°There¡¯s nothing to lose.¡± Shen You raised her hand, she felt this annoying voice was a bit unbearable. ¡°How is it? Have you thought about it?¡± The system asked with even more anticipation. Shen You slowly stood up, and looked at the screen in front of her, where she was already dead. ¡°In order to live!¡± Shen You only had one goal. If she could live again, she would do everything she could to live a willful life! Those so-called family, friends, love, kinship, friendship¡­ they were all just worldly possessions! ¡°I have to try my best to obtain luck value so that I can live to a hundred years old!¡± Shen You secretly set a goal for herself. ¡°Okay!¡± The system sounded very happy. ¡°System binding successful!¡± The system¡¯s voice came out. The screen in front of Shen You changed into a huge figure diagram. Each character¡¯s name was marked with a strange number. ¡°In front of you are all the characters you came into contact with in your previous life, as well as their related characters,¡± the system explained. ¡°Shen Jiao and¡­¡± Shen You fixed her gaze on the name of the person who had a ¡°lover¡± relationship with Shen Jiao. Wasn¡¯t that her fianc¨¦? And in Shen Jiao¡¯s list of secret admirers¡­ her eldest brother was actually in the list? ¡°What does that dotted line mean?¡± Shen You looked at the dotted line that led from Shen Jiao to her eldest brother and asked. ¡°Ambiguous!¡± The system answered simply. Shen You was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. ¡°This¡­¡± Shen You laughed dryly. ¡°Then¡­ what do the numbers on their heads have to do with me?¡± Shen You decided to ignore the complicated relationship. ¡°Those numbers are their luck value,¡± the system explained patiently. ¡°You can choose to go to their sides and do something for them, or gain their favor. Both can increase your luck value,¡± the system explained carefully. ¡°Then, is it better if I get closer to people with high luck value?¡± Shen You¡¯s voice sounded eager. ¡°No, dear!¡± The system denied Shen You¡¯s delusions unpolitely. ¡°Firstly, people with high luck value are hard to come into contact with,¡± the system mercilessly pointed out the real problem. ¡°Besides, since their luck value is high, how can someone with low luck value like you get them just like that?¡± The system once again revealed the crux of the problem. Shen You thought about it and it seemed to make sense. ¡°Then how can I get in touch with these people?¡± Shen You suddenly felt a little dispirited. ¡°You have to think of a way to get into their inner circle!¡± The system prompted. Shen You thought about it and then turned to study the relationship map. ¡°It seems that many of these people are Shen Jiao¡¯s classmates?¡± Shen You confirmed again. ¡°Bingo!¡± The system said with appreciation, ¡°So, you know what to do now?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Shen You answered happily. Just as she was about to say something, she felt the world spinning. ¡°Go and accumulate your luck value!¡± A distant voice sounded in Shen You¡¯s ear. ¡°Bang!¡± Shen You fell from the bed onto the ground with her face on the ground. ¡°Ouch!¡± She cried out in pain and touched her nose that was sore from the impact. She slowly sat up and cursed in her heart, ¡°So it was actually a dream!¡± ¡°It was not a dream, dear!¡± The voice sounded in Shen You¡¯s mind again. Shen You was shocked and immediately sat up straight. She walked to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I really came back from death?¡± Shen You looked at her red nose in disbelief. ¡°You have returned to the world of books!¡± The system reminded. Shen You touched the mark on her forehead and sighed, ¡°If only this thing could disappear!¡± This was the mark that Shen You got when she was very young. She did not remember when or how she get it. ¡°If you have enough luck value, you can exchange for the authority to change your appearance!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°Really?¡± Shen You cried out in excitement. ¡°Of course!¡± The system said proudly. ¡°As long as you keep accumulating luck value, you can have more and more authority!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded somewhat enticing. Shen You touched the mark on her forehead, imagining that she would finally not have to be called ugly because of the mark. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it! Hurry up and do what you should be doing!¡± The system mercilessly broke Shen You¡¯s imagination. Shen you suddenly remembered her official business. She rushed out of the room and found the butler. ¡°Uncle, where¡¯s Mom?¡± When the butler saw that it was Shen You, he frowned and pointed in the direction of the garden. ¡°Madam and Missy are in the garden.¡± Hearing the butler¡¯s words, if it was the old Shen You, she would definitely feel hurt. But now, to her, ¡°Missy¡± was nothing. She did not care! She only wanted to live! Shen You thanked him and walked hurriedly in the direction of the garden. The butler was a little surprised. Although this young lady was still as reckless as before, she was obviously much more polite now. When Shen You arrived at the garden, she saw Shen Jiao and her mother, Li Ru, sitting on the bamboo chairs and drinking tea. There was a tea set in front of the two of them, and a maid followed behind each of them. Drinking tea, chatting and laughing, the mother-daughter harmonious atmosphere was emitted from the two of them. This time, Shen You did not feel any heartache or disappointment. Instead, she rushed to Li Ru eagerly, ¡°Mom, I want to transfer to another class¡­¡± Li Ru was talking to Shen Jiao when she heard Shen You¡¯s voice. She could not help but frown. She turned to look at Shen You, ¡°What class do you want to transfer to?¡± ¡°The progress of the current class is too slow. I want to transfer to Shen Jiao¡¯s class!¡± Shen You said confidently. Shen Jiao couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she heard this. Even the two maids covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this. Shen You, who was ranked in the bottom three in the class, actually disliked the slow progress of the class? Li Ru frowned when she heard Shen You¡¯s words. ¡°If you want to study well¡­ why don¡¯t you hire a tutor?¡± Shen You waved her hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble! Just transfer to another class will do!¡± Li Ru paused for a moment and then said, ¡°That¡¯s good, too! You can take care of Xiao Jiao when you two are together.¡± ¡°Go and tell the butler that I said so. Just let him make the arrangements!¡± Li Ru said lightly. Hearing Li Ru¡¯s words, Shen Jiao¡¯s expression changed slightly, but she did not say anything. Although Shen You saw it, she did not care too much. Her goal was very clear. Most of the people in that class were people with higher luck value in average. Such people were easier for her to obtain luck value. Shen You seemed to have received an imperial edict, so she ran to the butler to pass it on. The Shen family had a lot of shares in the school, so it was only a matter of words to transfer Shen You to another class. Finally, this matter was settled and Shen You¡¯s heart was at ease. She lay on the bed, thinking that after changing classes, she must catch a few lucky ones to absorb more ¡°essence¡±. Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°Don¡¯t think about taking any shortcuts, I will keep an eye on you!¡± Hearing the system¡¯s words, Shen You was immediately dissatisfied, ¡°Your service attitude is a problem!¡± ¡°Are you helping me or spying on me?¡± Shen You asked. ¡°You just need to accumulate your luck value!¡± The system said proudly, ¡°It¡¯s best not to ask about other things!¡± Hearing the system¡¯s words, Shen You could not help but roll her eyes, ¡°It¡¯s okay then, who cares!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°If there¡¯s anything in the future, just call me and I¡¯ll show up.¡± ¡°Then help me type out the relationship map first! I can¡¯t remember all those names!¡± Shen You grumbled unhappily. With a ¡®shua¡¯, a huge electronic map appeared in front of Shen You. ¡°You can refer to this map at any time, it¡¯s in your mind,¡± the system explained briefly. ¡°The things that are printed out are too easy to be discovered!¡± The system chuckled, ¡°This is the best way to keep it a secret!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You looked at the map with satisfaction. When her gaze swept past Zhao Nan¡¯s name, she instantly felt uncomfortable. Zhao Nan was her fianc¨¦ in her previous life. According to the current time, the two of them would be engaged in a month¡¯s time. In her previous life, she felt that the Shen family did not like her and Zhao Nan was her only family member. However, Zhao Nan was always cold towards her. Every time when she was left out, Shen You would eagerly follow behind Zhao Nan awaiting his mercy. When she was thinking about it now, the Shen Yat that time¡­ was really lowly! Shen You decided that in this life, she would stay away from Zhao Nan! The first step was to block out the first layer of relationships in Zhao Nan¡¯s relationship map! Shen You sifted through the map for a long time and decided to start with Li Min and the others who were least connected. Li Min, Zhao Kuang, Su Wen¡­ these people were people who had the least connected relationships with Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan. As for her precious brother, Shen Jun, who was a few years older than them, he was even more least connected. After choosing the people she wanted to get close to, Shen You finally calmed down and gradually fell asleep in the bed. ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± A heavy and urgent knock came from the door. Shen You instantly woke up from the bed. She sat on the bed and felt a strong heartbeat. Although she was grateful that the knock made her feel her own heartbeat¡­ However, the person who knocked on the door was too rude! Shen You rushed to the door and pulled it open. The person who knocked on the door obviously did not expect the door to be suddenly opened, and his hand was still knocking. This punch landed heavily and almost hit Shen You¡¯s head. Shen You took two steps back and glared at the person outside the door. ¡°Shen Jun, are you crazy?¡± Shen Jun did not expect Shen you to have such a reaction. He was stunned for a moment before a disdainful expression covered his face. Shen You looked at Shen Jun coldly. She was no longer the Shen You who hoped to be recognized! She did not need anyone¡¯s recognition! Especially Shen Jun¡¯s! In her previous life, Shen You had suffered a lot from Shen Jun. Duet to Shen Jun¡¯s unspeakable relationship with Shen Jiao, Shen Jun had been making things difficult to Shen You. In the past, Shen You did not understand why Shen Jun would do this to her. Now, she understood! Shen Jun also stared at Shen you and said, ¡°You! Go and apologize to Xiao Jiao!¡± Shen Jun¡¯s voice sounded urgent and angry. ¡°Why?¡± Shen You frowned and looked at Shen Jun. . ¡°You made her feel sad!¡± Shen Jun said coldly, ¡°She even cried!¡± Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. Shen Jiao cried and he wanted her to apologize? Wasn¡¯t her apology a little too casual? ¡°Why did she cry?¡± Shen You asked Shen Jun with a slightly cold expression. Shen Jun was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to tell¡­¡± Shen You¡¯s expression instantly became one of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°You want me to apologize when she cries¡­ if she dies one day, do you want me to pay with my life?¡± Shen Jun looked at Shen You in disbelief. He did not expect that she would actually say such a thing. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so vicious! You want Xiao Jiao to die!¡±Shen Jun accused. Shen You looked at Shen Jun as if he was an idiot. She had never thought that her brother was such a b*stard who couldn¡¯t distinguish right from wrong! Shen You didn¡¯t want to argue with Shen Jun further and just said, ¡°I¡¯m tired. I have to go to school tomorrow¡­¡± As Shen You spoke, she intended to close the door. However, Shen Jun didn¡¯t allow her to close the door. He pushed the door with one hand. The two of them were in a stalemate. Suddenly, Shen You pulled back her hand and let the door open. Shen Jun did not expect Shen You¡¯s action. His body suddenly fell forward and directly fell into Shen You¡¯s room. Shen You stood at the door with her arms crossed. ¡°If you have nothing else, please¡­ get out of my room!¡± Shen You forcefully swallowed the words ¡°get lost¡± at the corner of her mouth. Shen Jun got up and walked out of the room swearing. Shen You closed the door and sighed faintly. If Shen You had not seen the relationship map, she would not have thought that the relationship in the Shen family was so complicated. Forget about the suspicious two-way arrow between Shen Po and Shen Jiao. Shen Jun actually also secretly pointed an arrow at Shen Jiao! Shen You sighed helplessly. Shen Jiao was indeed fated to be a female lead. Being pursued by men was probably the fate of the female lead. Shen You shook her head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in her mind. She only had one goal now ¡ª to stay alive! Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You did not have the time to feel sorry for her tragic fate. The reason she came back here was to find a way to survive. No matter how the Shen family would target her or how Zhao Nan would treat her. It did not matter to her anymore! Shen You lay back on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. The next day, Shen You smoothly completed the transfer procedures. She happily moved her things to the elite class. Just as she walked to the door of the elite class, she saw two girls standing by the door. ¡°Excuse me¡­¡± Shen You said politely. The two girls acted as if they didn¡¯t hear her. They still crossed their arms in front of their chest and blocked the door of the classroom. Shen You raised her head and looked at the two ladies. Jiang Yi, Lu Man¡­ As expected, it¡¯s Shen Jiao¡¯s good sisters again! Shen You couldn¡¯t help but secretly sigh that she would never be able to escape from the shadow of the female lead. However, she didn¡¯t provoke the other party nor did she do anything overboard. There shouldn¡¯t be any trouble. Shen You said politely again, ¡°Excuse me, I want to go over!¡± ¡°Who let you go over?¡± Jiang Yi stared coldly at Shen You. ¡°That¡¯s right! Anyone can simply come to the elite class now?¡± Lu Man also echoed arrogantly. Shen You secretly sighed, ¡°My transfer procedures have been completed!¡± ¡°Hmph! What¡¯s there to be proud of by going through the back door procedures!¡± Lu Man snorted again. ¡°Am I proud?¡± Shen You looked at Lu Man in disbelief. Lu Man¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°With your grades, it¡¯s impossible for you to enter our elite class! If you didn¡¯t go by back door, what else could it be?¡± A smile hung on the corner of Shen You¡¯s mouth. ¡°Do you need me to tell you how your grades came about?¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, a few boys in the classroom immediately started whistling. Another boy teased, ¡°If you see through it, don¡¯t say it out loud. That¡¯s the basic courtesy, Newcomer!¡± Shen You looked at him and shrugged. ¡°I won¡¯t offend anyone if they don¡¯t offend me!¡± ¡°What if they offend you?¡± The boy asked curiously again. ¡°Kill his entire family!¡± Shen You replied coldly. The boy immediately revealed a fearful expression. ¡°You¡¯re a ruthless person!¡± Shen You cupped her fists. ¡°Thank you!¡± When Lu Man and Jiang Yi saw that Shen You didn¡¯t take them seriously at all, they immediately became even angrier. ¡°Shen You! Don¡¯t think that you can get close to Zhao Nan just because you transferred to the elite class!¡± Lu Man said arrogantly. Shen You secretly rolled her eyes and said, ¡°I won¡¯t be as unambitious as you ladies!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, the boys in the classroom became even more unsettled. A boy sat on the table behind Zhao Nan and said, ¡°Hey! You¡¯re being despised!¡± Zhao Nan looked down at the book in his hand and ignored it. Shen You did not care about what the others said. She only said to the two door gods in front of her, ¡°Excuse me, class is about to start!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Jiang Yi and Lu man were about to speak. A figure appeared behind Shen You. ¡°Move aside!¡± A cold voice was heard. Jiang Yi and Lu man subconsciously dodged to the sides. The figure went past Shen You and entered the classroom. Shen You immediately followed the figure into the classroom, not giving Jiang Yi and Lu Man a chance to block her again. She walked into the classroom happily and found an empty seat to sit down. This elite class had always been special. There was no need to bring schoolbags or textbooks to class. After school, they could stay in the classroom and play games. There was no requirement for clothes, except for clothes that were too revealing. The teacher¡¯s attitude toward the elite class was only short of offering three incense sticks. This class was a special class in the school. The so-called elite was only referring to status! However, in order to maintain the image of the elite class, everyone¡¯s report card was ¡®beautiful¡¯! Shen You was not worried about her own results. After all, in her previous life, when she was really bored, she had once tried her best working real hard and managed to get into a good school. Shen You turned her head and found out the boy who had opened the way for her was sitting beside her. She looked at the other party and suddenly felt his body was as if dyed with light. And she felt that he was getting brighter and brighter in her sight¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± Shen You¡¯s head hit the desk heavily. ¡°Ah! What¡¯s the matter with you!¡± The class monitor, Xie Xiao, rushed over and quickly helped Shen You up. The loud crash made the other people in the class turn their heads over. Shen You opened her eyes in a daze and found a ray of light in front of her. She reached out to touch the light and felt the warmth of the light. ¡°So warm¡­¡± She smiled unconsciously. Everyone present was in a state of shock¡­ Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Everyone in the class stared at the young master of the Huo family, who was obviously being groped. This young master was famous for being a clean freak! They watched as Shen You was touching Young Master Huo¡¯s face and body up and down. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but suspect that Shen You did it on purpose! Shen You was currently in a chaotic state of consciousness. A voice in her mind was telling her, ¡°Your luck value in this life is about to be used up, please replenish it in time!¡± ¡°F*ck?¡± Shen You cursed in her heart, ¡°There¡¯s a time for my luck value to be used up?¡± ¡°Then I am going to die again?¡± Shen You roared angrily in her heart. ¡°There¡¯s a bug in this setting!¡± Shen you argued, ¡°The initial value is so low, how do I upgrade it!¡± The system¡¯s voice came faintly, ¡°A portion of luck value had been used up to resurrect you¡­¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve already entered this environment where luck value is abundant¡­¡± the system¡¯s voice gradually became clear, ¡°Work hard, youngster!¡± Shen You suddenly felt her eyes brighten up. She suddenly sat up straight and looked at the scene in front of her. She saw that her hands were pinching a boy¡¯s cheek. That slightly red face made Shen You faintly feel that it was her masterpiece. She maintained this posture and slowly looked around¡­ She could see shock¡­ There was anger.. There was jealousy.. There was¡­ praise? Shen You¡¯s gaze swept past the boy who once again gave her a thumbs up. Her gaze once again returned to the boy¡¯s face in front of her. She saw that the boy¡¯s face was getting redder and redder.. Shen You abruptly withdrew her hand and hurriedly apologized, ¡°Sorry, sorry!¡± The boy seemed to be so angry that he was speechless for a moment. He strode out of the classroom with a red face. ¡°You¡¯re done for!¡± The few people around could not help feel sorry for Shen You¡¯s fate in the future. Shen You looked at her hand awkwardly, then turned to look at Xie Xiao behind her. She could feel a trace of warmth coming from Xie Xiao¡¯s body. However, the warmth was very shallow. If she did not carefully experience it, she would not have felt it at all. This was different from the bright and warm light just now. Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice sounded again in Shen You¡¯s mind. ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve already mastered the method to obtain luck value!¡± Shen You stared at it in shock, ¡°This is the method to obtain luck value?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The system sounded very happy, ¡°You can obtain luck value by getting close, fawning, pleasing, receiving praise, trusting, and many other ways!¡± ¡°The influence of different events is different, so the amount of luck value obtained is also different!¡± The system patiently explained. ¡°Also¡­¡± As the system spoke, a bead suddenly appeared in front of Shen You¡¯s eyes. ¡°This is the luck value that you have accumulated¡­¡± The system continued to explain, ¡°Every time you accumulate a bead, you can obtain a certain level of authority!¡± Shen You looked at the swaying little luck value at the bottom of the bead, and could not help but sigh at her own fate. ¡°Can I summon the Dragon God after collecting seven beads?¡± Shen you asked curiously. The system laughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s confidential, dear!¡± Shen You suddenly had the urge to beat up the system. The system seemed to have sensed her thoughts and comforted her with a smile, ¡°Impulse is devil!¡± ¡°Of course, when your luck value reaches a certain level, you can see my real self!¡± The system said happily. Shen You replied coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to! Thank you!¡± The system seemed to have received a blow and said aggrievedly, ¡°Then you work harder!¡± Shen You was just about to speak to Xie Xiao when the system in her mind spoke again, ¡°Friendly reminder, the luck value of this little brat in front of you isn¡¯t that high either¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to cling to the person just now¡­¡± The system wanted to say something but hesitated. Xie Xiao saw that Shen You was stunned and pushed her. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Shen You suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at Xie Xiao awkwardly and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ It¡¯s probably due to the heat from moving things.¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You suspiciously. ¡°Hmph!¡± Lu Man glared at Shen You and said ¡°The ugly make more troubles!¡± Shen You subconsciously touched her forehead and ignored Lu Man¡¯s words. Zhao Nan, who was sitting behind Shen You, quietly watched everything. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. Shen You¡¯s gaze slightly turned to the direction of the door. ¡°Cling to¡­ that person just now?¡± Shen You asked in her heart. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Shen You sat in her seat as if nothing had happened and arranged her things. Xie Xiao was still a little worried, so he said a few words of concern to Shen You. For Shen You, in her previous life, she did not have many friends. Although she had crossed paths with Xie Xiao a few times, they were not considered close. However, seeing Xie Xiao¡¯s concern for her, Shen You felt a slight warmth in her heart. ¡°I¡¯m fine now, don¡¯t worry!¡± Shen You comforted Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao still looked at Shen You suspiciously, as if he felt that something was wrong. It wasn¡¯t until Xie Xiao left that Shen You bent over the table and felt the luck values faintly seeping out from all directions in the classroom. This class was really a feng shui treasure class. Even if she didn¡¯t deliberately try to obtain the luck values here, she could still make herself feel more comfortable by getting some of them. For Shen You, she did not even want to waste a single strand of luck value. Shen You looked at the empty space beside her and asked, ¡°Who was that person just now?¡± Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Shen You, ¡°You¡¯re finished! You dare to touch Young Master Huo¡¯s little face!¡± She turned around in confusion and saw a boy sitting behind her, saying with a smile. Shen You recognized him. He was the boy who repeatedly praised her. ¡°Who are you then?¡± Shen you looked at him, as if she did not know him. In her previous life, Shen You had always felt inferior due to her background and upbringing. Even when she returned to the Shen family, because the Shen family did not accept her, she was filled with fear towards the outside world. At that time, all that she had wanted was the Shen family giving her even just a look. However, in the entire Shen family, apart from her younger brother, Shen Ying, no one had ever given her a good look. Speaking of Shen Ying, Shen You felt a little emotional. Shen Ying was the most neutral person in the Shen family. His attitude towards Shen You and Shen Jiao was the same. He would never side with anyone. However, she was not as good at coaxing people as Shen Jiao. Even the neutral Shen Ying was unable to resist Shen Jiao¡¯s gentle attacks. ¡°Hey! What are you thinking about?¡± A voice sounded in Shen You¡¯s ear. Shen You felt that something was hitting her. When she came back to her senses, she saw that the boy behind her kept poking her arm with a rolled up book. Shen You hurriedly dodged his attack. ¡°Who are you?¡± The other party¡¯s expression immediately became a little ridiculous. ¡°Are you selectively deaf?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already said it three times! My name is Zhu Ge!¡± Zhu Ge pointed at his nose using a book and said. Shen You replied with an ¡®oh¡¯, which was considered an acknowledgement. Zhu Ge frowned and looked at Shen You. ¡°Why do you always look absent-minded?¡± ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Zhu Ge seemed to be full of curiosity towards Shen You. ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Shen you paused. ¡°I¡¯m just thinking about who that boy was just now.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know the young master of the Huo family!¡± Zhu Ge giggled behind her. ¡°You¡¯re really hopeless!¡± Zhu Ge looked like he was gloating over Shen You¡¯s misfortune. ¡°Should I know him?¡± Shen You was puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s true. In your eyes, probably there¡¯s only Zhao Nan!¡± Zhu Ge said as he looked in Zhao Nan¡¯s direction. Zhao Nan still had his head lowered as he stared at the book in his hand with a concerned expression. Shen you looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s cold and aloof expression and her heart instantly felt a little desolate. She had worked so hard to follow behind Zhao Nan just so that he would look back at her. However, all of this was just wishful thinking. In Zhao Nan¡¯s heart¡­ she had never existed! ¡°Hey! You really don¡¯t know Huo Xiao?¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°No!¡± Shen You said with certainty. She had never interacted with Huo Xiao before, so it was natural that she did not know him. Zhu Ge stuck out his tongue and said, ¡°No wonder you dared to treat him like that!¡± Shen You knew that Zhu Ge was talking about how she had laid her hands on Huo Xiao just now. ¡°That¡­ an accident!¡± Shen You thought about how she should explain herself, but she realized that it was all in vain. Zhu Ge chuckled and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter! Anyway, you¡¯re definitely on Young Master Huo¡¯s blacklist!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Shen You frowned and looked at Zhu Ge. ¡°He can¡¯t be that petty, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to say anything else¡­¡± Zhu Ge chuckled. ¡°But Young Master Huo is famous for his germaphobia!¡± ¡°Your actions just now were a crime deserving of death!¡± Zhu Ge said, looking like she really deserved a beating! Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You did not expect that she would choose a germaphobe after so many choices. ¡°Then he rushed out just now¡­¡± Shen you guessed subconsciously. ¡°He¡¯s probably either forcefully washing himself or running to the infirmary to disinfect himself!¡± Zhu Ge guessed seriously. His expression actually looked a little stern. The corner of Shen You¡¯s mouth twitched awkwardly. She didn¡¯t expect the consequences to be so severe¡­ Huo Xiao didn¡¯t come back even when the class started. It was Shen You¡¯s first time in the elite class, but the teacher didn¡¯t seem to notice her at all and continued to lecture. Let alone not seeing her, the entire class probably did not exist in the eyes of the teacher. For the elite class, attending class was just a formality. Each of them had their own private tutor, so there was no need to waste time in class! After the third class, Shen You had just packed her things when Huo Xiao walked in from outside the door The skin on his face still looked red, just as Zhu Ge had guessed, he must have gone for disinfection! Shen You looked at Huo Xiao with embarrassment, and her eyes were full of apology. When Huo Xiao saw Shen You at the door, he also stopped in his tracks. It was not until he walked to his seat that he said coldly, ¡°Go away!¡± Shen You did not understand what he meant. She only looked at him apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I fainted just now and I didn¡¯t know what I had done!¡± ¡°It was a subconscious act. Please forgive me!¡± Shen You quickly begged for mercy. She did not want anything to go wrong on the first day of the transfer. Huo Xiao still did not look at Shen You. He stood upright beside his seat. ¡°Please leave this place!¡± His voice was full of anger. Hearing it, Shen You felt a chill down her spine. Zhu Ge poked Shen You¡¯s back from behind. Shen You turned around. Zhu Ge lowered his voice and said, ¡°Huo Xiao never had a deskmate!¡± ¡°He¡¯s asking you to move away!¡± Zhu Ge decided to give Shen You a friendly reminder. Hearing this, Shen You was unhappy. Although she always wanted to please others, she was not someone to be bossed around. Especially since she had not done anything wrong, why couldn¡¯t she even take a seat? ¡°I¡¯m not moving! I want to sit here!¡± Shen You said firmly, as if she wanted to live and die with the seat. She didn¡¯t want to turn around and lose him again after finding a super value storage device that was bursting with luck! Many people in the class looked at Shen You with admiration and envy when they heard the voice. The boys admired Shen You¡¯s courage. If Shen You succeeded, she would be sitting at the same desk as the eldest son of the number one family, the Huo family. This was something that no one could ask for even with begging. The girls also admired Shen You. She dared to speak to the cold and arrogant school hunk like this. She was simply a model! However, if the Young Master Huo was really snatched away by an inconspicuous person like Shen You, they would probably still hold a grudge against Shen You! Huo Xiao turned his head slightly and looked at Shen You¡¯s unyielding look. He frowned deeply and his gaze fell on Shen You¡¯s slightly messy hair and her mixed-up clothes. There was no restriction from the school on the students¡¯ clothes, so the elite class students naturally wore whatever looked good. Ever since Shen You returned to the Shen family, the Shen family had also prepared a lot of clothes for her. However, in her previous life, Shen You did not know how to wear and match, so she did not know the wear and match these clothes. Out of ¡°kindness¡±, Shen Jiao helped her pick some clothes that ¡®fit¡¯ her. In the end, Shen You only realized that the clothes were actually very messy. Fortunately, Shen You was not a person who cared about her image, so she just let go. Shen You followed Huo Xiao¡¯s gaze and lowered her head looking at herself. Then only she felt that her mix and match was¡­ inappropriate? ¡°I will buy new clothes! Please let me stay!¡± Shen You made a promise. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You¡¯s face again. Shen You subconsciously touched her forehead. ¡°This¡­ I¡¯ve had it since I was young, I can¡¯t help It¡­¡± Huo Xiao looked at Shen You¡¯s slightly sad expression, and his heart softened for a moment. However, it must say that Shen You had an ugly mark on her forehead. However, if one ignored that mark and her slightly scary outfit, Shen You actually¡­ was not ugly! ¡°Stay away from me!¡± Huo Xiao said as he moved his desk and chair to the side. Shen You was pleasantly surprised to see Huo Xiao sit down next to her under everyone¡¯s shocked gaze. Shen You felt another two pokes on her back and looked back again. She saw Zhu Ge¡¯s thumb stretched over. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You did not expect the young master of the Huo family to be so easy to talk to. However, since this guy with super high luck value agreed to let her stay by his side, she naturally could not waste this opportunity. She took a deep breath and felt that warm feeling engulf her entire body once again. This feeling was different from the luck value obtained from other people. It was a feeling full of power. Shen You felt warm all over her body. The feeling of happiness and comfort almost made her pounce on Huo Xiao again. Zhao Nan, who had been sitting quietly at the side reading a book, looked over. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with that woman?¡± Zhao Nan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen You. Shen You, who had been pursuing him relentlessly, had been pestering the Huo family¡¯s young master ever since she transferred to the elite class. Could it be that she knew the Huo family¡¯s young master¡¯s identity and that was why she was pestering him? If that was really the case¡­ Zhao Nan looked at Shen You with an additional hint of disdain in his eyes. Shen Jiao did not come to class because of her health, so Shen You had a relatively relaxed day. At the same time, she secretly prayed in her heart that Shen Jiao would not come to school this semester¡­ However, although Shen Jiao did not appear at school, Jiang Yi and Lu Man had no intention of letting her go. During lunch, Shen You heated up her food as usual and brought it to a seat in the corner of the cafeteria to enjoy it alone. It was not that she did not like the food in the cafeteria, but she was used to doing things herself. Even when she entered the Shen family, she was used to taking care of everything for herself. Moreover, although the Shen family gave her pocket money, Shen You was tricked by her brothers into buying all kinds of good things for them. The current her could almost be said to be penniless! Shen You sighed, took a mouthful of rice and put it into her mouth. To Shen You, whether the food was good or not was not important to her. What was important was whether it was comfortable to eat. In the past, she had also envied those girls who got together and chatted while eating. The happy lunch time with laughter looked youthful and pleasant. But things changed when it came to Shen You. Every time she wanted to get together with those girls, she was either ridiculed or despised. She had prepared a sumptuous meal, but in the eyes of those people, it was just trash that could not be brought up to the table. Hence, Shen You deliberately avoided those people and found a corner to enjoy this period of time alone. At least, she had to eat her fill before she had the strength to live! Shen You thought of her past self and took another mouthful of rice. ¡°Do you only eat white rice?¡± A voice sounded beside Shen You. Shen yYu looked up and saw that it was the class monitor, Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao stood beside Shen You with a tray and asked, ¡°Can I sit here?¡± Shen you nodded and said, ¡°Please take the seat!¡± Xie Xiao smiled and put down the tray before sitting opposite Shen You. ¡°Why are you also eating by yourself?¡± Shen You looked at Xie Xiao with some confusion. Xie Xiao looked like the kind of soft and cuddly girl. She was not tall and had fair skin. She was a little chubby, but she looked very cute. ¡°I don¡¯t like the gossip that they talk about all the time.¡± Xie Xiao shrugged. She refused to stay together with those ¡®gossipers¡¯. Shen You said with some envy, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not bad to sit together and talk about gossip.¡± ¡°Do you want to join them?¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in confusion. Shen You shrugged, ¡°Not really¡­¡± ¡°I just feel that it¡¯s comfortable to have a companion during a meal,¡± Shen You said with some hidden bitterness. ¡°Then you can eat with me in the future!¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s face lit up with a smile, revealing her white teeth. When Shen You heard that, her face was brightened up. She scooped out a big lump of diced chicken from her lunch box. ¡°Here! Try this!¡± Xie Xiao looked at the black lump and subconsciously wanted to reject it. However, when she saw Shen You¡¯s expectant expression, Xie Xiao thanked her and showed her plate to take the diced chicken. She took a small bite and said in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s not bad!¡± Shen You raised her chin proudly, ¡°Of course!¡± Xie Xiao then shook her head. ¡°It might be better if it¡¯s freshly made¡­¡± Shen You sighed, ¡°I can¡¯t help it, with limited conditions¡­¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The elite class has its own canteen. Don¡¯t you know that?¡± ¡°Some people will bring the chef here¡­ We can use it as we please!¡± Xie Xiao said and pointed to a corner of the canteen. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You followed the direction Xie Xiao pointed and looked over. On one of the doors, there was a huge ¡°VIP¡± sign. Shen you looked at the place in surprise. In her previous life, she had thought that the place was specially designed to receive VIP guests from the school. So, it was actually a place designed for elite class? Under her astonished gaze, Jiang Yi and Lu Man pushed open the door and walked out. When the two of them walked out, they felt a gaze looking at them. Lu Man turned her head and realized that it was Shen You who was staring at them. Lu Man¡¯s expression changed and she rushed over to Shen You. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Shen You had an innocent expression on her face. ¡°I¡¯m not looking at you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re clearly looking at¡­ us!¡± Lu Man turned her head to look at Jiang Yi who was beside her. Jiang Yi nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! I saw it!¡± Shen You rolled her eyes helplessly and said, ¡°I was just looking at the VIP sign!¡± Lu Man smiled arrogantly. ¡°Why? Do you want to go in, too?¡± Shen You raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I?¡± Lu Man was about to reply when she suddenly remembered that Shen You was also a student of the elite class. She choked for a moment. However, Jiang Yi¡¯s gaze fell on the lunch box in front of Shen You. ¡°Eh! What are these?¡± Hearing Jiang Yi call out, Lu Man¡¯s gaze also shifted over. Following that, she sneered. ¡°As expected of a country bumpkin! Even the food is so¡­ disgusting!¡± ¡°Who are you calling it disgusting?!¡± A childish voice sounded from behind Lu Man and Jiang Yi. The two were shocked and quickly turned around to look. They saw Shen Rong rushing toward them angrily. Jiang Yi and Lu Man didn¡¯t expect it to be Shen Rong, so they subconsciously took a step back. Shen Rong was Shen Jiao¡¯s younger brother, and he always listened to Shen Jiao. The two of them always stayed with Shen Jiao, so they were naturally familiar with Shen Rong. However, they didn¡¯t expect Shen Fu to be angry at them just because they said a few words about Shen you. Shen Rong walked to Shen You¡¯s side, looked at the food in Shen You¡¯s lunchbox, and said to Lu Man and Jiang Yi, ¡°Apologize!¡± Lu Man and Jiang Yi naturally would not give in easily. Although Shen Rong was Shen Jiao¡¯s younger brother, he was still a few years younger than them. They still had to maintain their dignity. ¡°Are you kidding? We didn¡¯t say anything wrong!¡± Lu Man crossed her arms proudly, obviously not intending to apologize. Shen Rong said fiercely, ¡°My sister¡¯s food is delicious! You can¡¯t make such comment!¡± Lu Man and Jiang Yi looked at each other. Jiang Yi sneered and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid she put some medicine in your food!¡± ¡°How can this be called delicious?¡±Jiang Yi¡¯s gaze fell on Shen You¡¯s bowl again. ¡°You!¡± Shen Rong was a little angry, but he didn¡¯t know how to refute. Shen You pulled Shen Rong¡¯s arm and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay! Let them!¡± ¡°They haven¡¯t eaten anything good either!¡± Shen You said and pulled Shen Rong to her side to sit down. Lu Man and Jiang Yi¡¯s expressions became colder when they heard that. ¡°What did you say!¡± Shen You ignored them and asked Shen Rong, ¡°Have you eaten? Do you want to eat with me?¡± If Shen Jiao wasn¡¯t here, Shen Rong would still be very obedient. In Shen Rong¡¯s opinion, a family should help each other and never let others bully them! Shen Yu was still fuming with anger as he stared at Jiang Yi and Lu Man. Shen You sighed helplessly and said to Xie Xiao, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb your meal!¡± Xie Xiao shrugged indifferently. She had long disliked Jiang Yi and Lu Man. Every day, they relied on the fact that their families were rich and kept criticizing on various things. Xie Xiao¡¯s family was not considered rich. Her parents were intellectuals and she was specially recruited into the elite class. Due to this, she was always despised by people like Lu Man and Jiang Yi in the class. The reason why she was willing to be close to Shen You was probably because she had a feeling that they were in the same boat. Shen You looked at Lu Man and Jiang Yi and said, ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood to argue with you. Just do whatever you think is best, okay?¡± Seeing that Shen You was not going to stoop to their level, Jiang Yi and Lu Man were even more furious. Just as the two of them were about to make a scene again¡­ Zhu Ge suddenly appeared. He placed his plate next to Xie Xiao and sat down. He looked at Shen You and said, ¡°Do you mind?¡± Shen You raised her eyes to look at Zhu Ge. He didn¡¯t look like he was asking for permission, did he? Xie Xiao also turned to look at Zhu Ge, who had come uninvited, and then turned to stare at her plate. Shen Rong looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him and frowned. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhu Ge¡¯s sudden appearance made Jiang Yi and Lu Man lose their temper instantly. Zhu Ge was Zhao Nan¡¯s good brother. The two of them grew up together, and the two families were friends. It was said that if the two of them were not both male, the family would have hoped that they could marry each other. Such a Zhu Ge¡­ Was naturally someone that Jiang Yi and Lu Man could not afford to offend! As soon as Zhu Ge sat down, Jiang Yi and Lu Man pushed each other, then pretended to have something to do and quickly left. Zhu Ge did not say much and just continued eating his food. Shen You felt that she had finally calmed down. She sincerely said to Zhu Ge, ¡°Thank you!¡± Zhu Ge raised his head and looked at Shen You, smiling gently. Shen You did not expect Zhu Ge to stand up for her. She was somewhat grateful in her heart. Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge didn¡¯t talk to each other. They just ate their own food. Shen You turned to look at Shen Rong and asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your canteen in another building?¡± Shen You looked at Shen Rong in confusion. ¡°I heard from the butler that you changed classes today¡­¡± Shen Rong looked at Shen You with some worry, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be bullied!¡± Shen Rong¡¯s worry was not unreasonable. After all, Shen You¡¯s reputation here was not very good. Shen You¡¯s heart warmed, and she patted hard on Shen Rong¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Shen You said with deep comfort. ¡°Those two people just now¡­¡± Shen Rong said with some worry. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I have a way to deal with them!¡± Shen You smiled, trying to make Shen Rong relax. Shen Rong still did not seem to believe in her sister¡¯s ability. At this moment, Zhu Ge said from the side, ¡°I¡¯m here! Don¡¯t worry!¡± Shen Rong looked at Zhu Ge, his eyes filled with doubt. ¡°Why did you help my sister?¡± ¡°Do you like her?¡± Shen Rong asked the question in his heart. When Shen Yong asked this question, Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge choked at the same time. Even Shen You¡¯s jaw was wide open as she looked at Shen Rong in shock. ¡°You¡­ why do you think so?¡± Zhu Ge asked after he recovered from his shock. Shen You also nodded her head vigorously. She also wanted to ask the same question! ¡°You¡¯re not familiar with her. Why do you want to help her?¡± Shen Rong stated his point of view. After hearing what Shen Rong said, it seemed to be true. Shen You also turned to look at Zhu Ge in confusion. She didn¡¯t think that Zhu Ge liked her¡­ But, she felt that Zhu Ge had other motives! Zhu Ge smiled awkwardly. ¡°I just think¡­ your sister is very brave!¡± ¡°I admire her very much!¡± Zhu Ge said sincerely. Although Shen You still had some doubts in her heart, she could still accept this answer. Shen Rong still stared at Zhu Ge in disbelief, as if trying to find an answer from his face. However, after looking at him for a long time, Zhu Ge felt a little awkward, and Shen Rong finally gave up. ¡°Okay! Then I¡¯ll leave my sister to you!¡± Shen Rong stood up and said sincerely. Hearing Shen Rong¡¯s words, the three people present immediately choked again. ¡°Hey! Little brother, it¡¯s better not to casually mention this!¡± Zhu Ge suggested sincerely. Shen You also nodded in agreement. Even Xie Xiao couldn¡¯t help but smile at the side with her mouth pursed. Shen Rong also suddenly realized that he was acting a little strange. He smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. The four people were chatting and laughing in the corner of the cafeteria. Zhao Nan, who was eating quietly on the other side, slowly shifted his gaze to Shen You again. He had a nagging feeling that Shen You was different¡­ What was it exactly? When Shen You returned to the classroom, she found Huo Xiao sleeping on the desk. The sunlight shone on Huo Xiao¡¯s body, making him look like he was glowing. Shen You took a greedy breath and slowly walked toward Huo Xiao. Shen You¡¯s footsteps were a little unsteady, as if she was about to float. She could feel the constant flow of luck value from Huo Xiao¡¯s body. That was a fatal attraction to her. She greedily absorbed the luck value, and her body almost fell onto Huo Xiao¡¯s. Suddenly, Huo Xiao opened his eyes and saw a magnified face in front of him. He cried out in shock. Shen You was also shocked by Huo Xiao and almost fell onto Huo Xiao¡¯s body. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in horror. Shen You awkwardly used her hands to support the desks on both sides and her body was suspended above Huo Xiao. ¡°Oh! Is this an acrobatic act?¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s teasing voice came from the side. Shen You secretly gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! Help!¡± Zhu Ge stretched out a finger and was about to poke Shen You¡¯s armpit. At this moment, all the weight of her body was supported by her two hands. If Zhu Ge¡¯s hands poked her itchy spot¡­ Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Shen You threatened fiercely. Zhu Ge laughed mischievously. His outstretched finger turned into a palm and dragged Shen You¡¯s arm. Shen You was pulled up and finally escaped the fate of being laid on Huo Xiao¡¯s body. When Shen You looked at Huo Xiao again, she found that his entire face was flushed red and he was a bit short of breath. ¡°Are you¡­ okay?¡± Shen You asked worriedly. Huo Xiao¡¯s breathing was heavy and he looked like he was about to faint. Shen You picked up a book in her hand and fanned Huo Xiao with all her might. The circulation of the air finally calmed Huo Xiao down. He glared at Shen You fiercely. Shen You smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I couldn¡¯t help¡­¡± Huo Xiao¡¯s face turned even redder when he heard this. Zhu Ge whistled twice and even sang the song ¡®I Was Young Then¡¯¡­ Huo Xiao sat up straight and did not look at Shen You anymore. Shen You sat down aggrievedly and secretly patted her thigh. ¡°Control! Control! What if I scare him away!¡± Shen You cursed at her impulsiveness. If this baby was really scared away by her, it would be hard to bring him back! Finally, the bell rang and saved Shen You. This time, Huo Xiao could not run away for a while¡­ Huo Xiao did not run away until after school. Shen You comforted herself, ¡°You must coax this ancestor well, don¡¯t make him angry again!¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen You made Huo Xiao angry again. After school, Huo Xiao¡¯s group was left to do the class cleaning. Although the elite class had certain rights, this hygienic environment was where everyone lived together. For the sake of themselves and everyone, this was also an unavoidable responsibility¡­ There were six people left behind, three boys and three girls. Like in most schools, the easy chores were left to the girls. The heavy jobs were taken care of by the boys. However, everyone knew that Huo Xiao had serious germaphobia, so naturally, they did not dare to let him participate in this dirty work. Therefore, Huo Xiao was responsible for tidying up the class library area. Since there was one less boy, Shen You was ¡°duty-bound¡± to replace him as the substitute. Shen You carried the bucket into the classroom. A full bucket of water rippled outward as she walked. Shen You picked up the mop and put it in the pail. The water overflowed in an instant. Shen You screamed and jumped two steps away. However, her shoes were still stained with water. Shen You clicked her tongue and lamented the pitiful fate of her shoes. Then, she continued to push the mop into the pail. Finally, the mop was wet. Shen You picked up the wet mop and began to mop the floor. She dragged the mop all the way, and for some reason, she felt a sense of pleasure. Just as she was pushing the mop faster and faster¡­ A voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Be careful!¡± Shen You instantly looked up and saw Huo Xiao walking out from the corner of the library with books in his arms. Shen You did not have time to brake at all. The mop in her hand rushed straight towards Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao did not expect that it was Shen You who was mopping the floor. It was too late for him to dodge. Huo Xiao watched helplessly as the mop in Shen You¡¯s hand fell onto his pair of white shoes. The excess water on the mop splashed out. Shen You let out an ¡°ah¡± sound but it did not help. Huo Xiao was not spared from the area from his calf to his knee. What was even more terrifying was that a few drops of the splashed water landed on Huo Xiao¡¯s chest and¡­ face! Huo Xiao¡¯s face instantly turned red, and he opened his mouth wide and could not stop breathing. Shen You bent slightly and slowly looked up at Huo Xiao. His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at her as if he wanted to strangle her to death. Shen You subconsciously grabbed the mop and ran back. As she ran, the mop¡¯s long tail swung beautifully at Huo Xiao¡¯s feet. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Shen You fled the scene¡­ Huo Xiao stood on the spot and almost fainted. ¡°Shen You!¡± Finally, the moment Huo Xiao recovered, he squeezed out the name from between his teeth¡­ From that day onwards, Huo Xiao did not come to school for three days¡­ Shen you was worried for three whole days! She was not actually worried about whether Huo Xiao was angry or sick¡­ She was just worried that her super value storage device would be gone this way! Just as Shen You was wondering if she needed to look for a new source of luck value¡­ Huo Xiao appeared¡­ Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After a few days of treatment, Huo Xiao gradually recovered. He did not expect that his severe germaphobia symptoms would gradually improve during this treatment. He originally thought that he would die after being messed with by Shen You that day! Shen You watched as Huo Xiao walked step by step towards her. Her entire face turned pale. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re okay?¡± Shen You¡¯s voice sounded a little shaky. Huo Xiao nodded. Shen You secretly patted her chest. ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good¡­¡± Suddenly, she realized something! She turned to look at Huo Xiao in shock. He actually responded to her! This was an earth-shattering breakthrough! Shen You looked at Huo Xiao and said tentatively, ¡°That day¡­I¡¯m really sorry!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡± The more Shen You spoke, the more insecure she felt. ¡°How do you want me to compensate you? Just say it!¡± Huo Xiao ignored Shen You and let her continue to ramble on. Shen You nagged for a while and felt that it was a little boring. She therefore retreated back into her own territory. She didn¡¯t want the stored value device that she had spent so much effort to get back to run away again! ¡°Big news! Big news!¡± Zhu Ge suddenly rushed in from the direction of the door. ¡°I heard that Huo Xiao is back!¡± Zhu Ge announced loudly. However, the moment he stepped into the classroom, he saw Huo Xiao¡¯s ice-cold face. He paused for a moment and rushed to Shen You¡¯s side. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Hey! Are you okay?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Shen You looked at Zhu Ge in confusion. Zhu Ge stretched out an index finger and pointed in the direction of Huo Xiao. ¡°He didn¡¯t do anything to you, right?¡± Shen You shook her head. ¡°No!¡± ¡°He just ignored me¡­¡± Shen You said with some distress. She was sitting next to a big ice cube. Although it was a treasure with a lot of luck, it would inevitably make her feel uncomfortable all over. Zhu Ge lowered his voice even more. ¡°Get used to it!¡± Shen You responded with an ¡®mm¡± and did not respond further. Zhu Ge straightened his body, put his hands behind his head, and walked to his seat, whistling. He glanced in the direction of Zhao Nan, only to find that Zhao Nan was also looking in his direction. Zhu Ge raised his eyebrows and smiled. Shen You naturally did not notice Zhao Nan¡¯s actions. Right now, all she could think about was how to ¡°handle¡± Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao felt Shen You¡¯s gaze on him. Although he still felt uncomfortable, he did not pay much attention to her. ¡­ That day, when he was dirtied by Shen You, Huo Xiao stood where he was and could not move at all. He almost fainted. Fortunately, the rest of the class called an ambulance and sent him all the way to his own hospital. The attending doctor, Dr. Meng, seeing Huo Xiao¡¯s body was stiff and his breathing was rapid, he sent him straight to the ICU. Huo Xiao¡¯s severe germaphobia was not a joke, it would have a strong impact on his physiology. After two days of oxygen inhalation and physiological monitoring, Huo Xiao finally recovered. ¡°You really scared your mother to death this time!¡± Dr. Meng looked at Huo Xiao who was still lying on the hospital bed and sighed helplessly. Huo Xiao smiled helplessly. ¡°Uncle Meng, is my mother here?¡± ¡°Yes! She¡¯s outside and didn¡¯t dare to come in¡­¡± Dr. Meng shook his head. ¡°Uncle Meng, please call my mother in. I have something to say.¡± Huo Xiao said, still a little weak. Dr. Meng nodded and went outside to call Lin Shu in. When Lin Shu saw the equipment on her son, tears immediately flowed down her face. Huo Xiao had been suffering from this illness since he was young. When he was young, even the hugs of his parents would cause him to break out in hives. Due to this, the Huo family paid special attention to Huo Xiao¡¯s living environment and the group of friends he had. As he had less contact with people, his living environment was simpler. After a while, Huo Xiao gradually became a little withdrawn and didn¡¯t even know how to get along with people. Ever since he started school, because of his identity as the young master of the Huo family and the strict protection of the family¡­ Huo Xiao became an existence that no one else could reach. This time, the sudden appearance of Shen You changed everything! Huo Xiao slowly raised his hand and extended it in the direction of Lin Shu. Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, then went forward and said, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Huo Xiao extended his hand again. Lin Shu sighed helplessly and extended her hand to hold Huo Xiao¡¯s hand. At that moment, tears slowly flowed down Lin Shu¡¯s face. Huo Xiao smiled slightly and said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine¡­¡± It was Lin Shu¡¯s wish all these years to really hold her son¡¯s hands. However, because she had always been worried that he would fall ill, she had never extended her hand¡­ This time, she finally held her son¡¯s hand tightly! Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Although the atmosphere between Huo Xiao and Shen You was somewhat strange¡­ At least the two of them got along peacefully for a week. Seeing that it was close to the end of school on Friday afternoon, Shen You began to feel troubled. Usually, she would leave home early and return home late, therefore she rarely had the chance to bump into the people from the Shen family. However, when it came to weekend, she would have no legitimate reason to go out to avoid trouble¡­ She also did not have any friends that she could go out with to have fun during weekend. Shen You was holding her chin as she was sitting in her seat, worrying. Xie Xiao walked over and asked, ¡°Shen You, do you have anything to do this weekend?¡± When Shen You heard that, her eyes immediately lit up. ¡°No, no! Do you have anything on?¡± Xie Xiao seemed to be at a loss for words. Shen You immediately stood up, put her arm around Xie Xiao¡¯s shoulder, and said, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it! Don¡¯t hesitate!¡± Xie Xiao bit his lower lip and said, ¡°What actually happens is¡­¡± ¡°I am thinking of going for a signing event, but I have no one to go with me. I¡¯m a little scared,¡± Xie Xiao said awkwardly. ¡°Signing event? Celebrity signing event?¡± Shen You¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. She had lived for two lifetimes, but she had never seen a living celebrity! ¡°No¡­¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s voice became softer. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s the signing event of a two-dimensional big shot, God Lingxiang.¡± Although Xie Xiao¡¯s lowered her voice, her eyes were shining brighter and brighter. Shen You did not know much about the two-dimensional world. However, she did not care whose signing event she would be attending. What was important was that she had something to do! Shen You patted Xie Xiao¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll go with you! For how long? A day?¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s reply, Xie Xiao¡¯s expression relaxed a lot. She smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. About half a day is enough.¡± ¡°No, no, no! Make it a day!¡± Shen You said firmly. Although Xie Xiao did not understand Shen You¡¯s purpose, she immediately nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine! You accompany me to the signing event, I¡¯ll treat you to delicious food in my family shop!¡± ¡°Your family shop?¡± Shen you was curious. ¡°Yes! My sister opened a book cafe at the corner of the street.¡± Xie Xiao looked very proud. ¡°The shop at the corner of the street which was said to have very good coffee and a lot of books is your family shop?¡± Shen You¡¯s eyes were instantly sparkling. Xie Xiao smiled and said, ¡°Yes! Sister¡¯s coffee-making skills are very good!¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s a done deal!¡± Shen you pursed her lips and said. Since Shen You transferred to the elite class, Shen Jiao had not attended class for a week. This week, however, was a gift from the heavens to Shen You. As long as she came to school, even if Jiang Yi and Lu Man provoked her, it was still a place for Shen You to breathe. After returning home, Shen You locked herself in her room. She did not want to see anyone from the Shen family. These days, besides keeping up with the progress of her studies, she was mainly looking for a suitable house to move out as soon as possible. She didn¡¯t want to live in that environment anymore. In that kind of place, even if she absorbed enough luck value, she was afraid that it would be destroyed by the aura there. Early on Saturday morning, Shen You finished washing up and rushed out of the house. She arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall where she and Xie Xiao had agreed to meet. It was only slightly past eight in the morning. The signing event would start at 10am, which meant that Shen You still had at least two hours to stroll around. She walked aimlessly on the street, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the time when she had just returned to the Shen family in her previous life. She didn¡¯t fit it the family and everything seemed to not welcome her. She had originally thought that her pleas would win the approval of the Shen family. In the end, all she got was a tragic ending. This time, no matter what, Shen You wanted to completely sever this relationship with the Shen family. She didn¡¯t want to be restricted by the Shen family anymore! She wanted to live! ¡°Isn¡¯t that Shen You?¡± Zhu Ge looked at Shen You across the street and said to Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan¡¯s gaze followed. Shen You was wearing a beige one-piece dress. Although there was nothing special about it, it looked very clean and bright. Her hair, which was previously disheveled, was now combed into a normal high ponytail. It was swaying behind her head as Shen You moved. Zhu Ge could not help but praise her, ¡°Eh! This fellow! Can¡¯t you see? She has a lot of potential!¡± Zhao Nan glared at Zhu Ge and said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk crap! We¡¯ll be late!¡± Zhu Ge pouted and followed behind Zhao Nan in the direction of the basketball court on the back street. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You was walking on the road, brushing past people from time to time. This kind of feeling actually made her feel a little comfortable. Shen You sent a message to Xie Xiao, saying that she was nearby and that she could contact her after she arrived. Not long after, Shen You¡¯s phone rang. Shen You glanced at the caller ID, it was Xie Xiao. When she picked up the phone, she heard Xie Xiao¡¯s voice, ¡°Where are you?¡± Shen You raised her head to look for a landmark. ¡°Nan¡­ Nan Feng Road!¡± Xie Xiao blurted out an ¡°ah¡± sound and asked in surprise, ¡°Why did you go there?¡± Shen You smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°I was strolling and ended up here.¡± Xie Xiao paused slightly on the other side of the phone. ¡°My dear Shen You, you have walked five streets!¡± Shen you smiled wryly. ¡°I just walked over¡­¡± ¡°Why? Where are you?¡± Shen You immediately changed the topic. Xie Xiao sounded a little out of breath. It seemed like she had already left the house. ¡°Sister asked me to bring you freshly brewed coffee and snacks.¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s voice was accompanied by the sound of the subway notification. ¡°I just got on the subway. I¡¯m expecting to arrive in about 10 minutes.¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s voice sounded a little erratic. ¡°The signal isn¡¯t good. I¡¯ll hang up first!¡± Shen You looked up at the street sign, then the broken mobile phone signal. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked in the direction of the shopping mall. When Shen You arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall, Xie Xiao was already standing there peacefully. She waved the bag in her hand and smiled at Shen You, who was sweating profusely. Shen You stood there awkwardly. ¡°You¡¯re so fast!¡± Xie Xiao took out a packet of tissues and handed it to Shen You. ¡°It¡¯s all because you went too far away!¡± ¡°This is what sister specifically asked me to bring for you!¡± Xie Xiao said as she handed the food bag to Shen You. ¡°She also said that you¡¯re welcome to visit the shop anytime!¡± Xie Xiao continued to dutifully pass the message on behalf to Shen You. Shen You gratefully picked up the coffee and drank it. ¡°Hey! It¡¯s so hot!¡± Shen you immediately cried out after taking a mouthful. Xie Xiao rolled her eyes and said, ¡°I rushed all the way here, so it¡¯s naturally hot!¡± Shen You smiled and held Xie Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Thank you for asking me out today!¡± Shen You said it sincerely, and Xie Xiao did not reject her gratitude. Xie Xiao knew that Shen You was speaking from the bottom of her heart. She shook her head and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re welcome! I just happen to need someone to accompany me!¡± Ever since Shen You transferred to the elite class, although most of the students in the class did not have any ill intentions toward her, they did not have any intention of getting close to her either. Xie Xiao had more or less heard the rumors about Shen You from the others. The rumored missy who was lost for many years and was found by the Shen family was just an ignorant girl who grew up in the village. Xie Xiao was only half-convinced by the rumors. After all, what she had not seen with her own eyes was not the truth. Even if she had seen it with her own eyes, it might not actually be true! The two of them chatted while waiting for the signing event to begin. There were already many people gathered at the waiting area. Xie Xiao and Shen You were not people who liked to join in the fun, so they chose a corner to stay. The two of them were thinking about where to go after the signing event. Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded from behind them, ¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t this the missy of the Shen family!¡± Hearing the voice, Shen You straightened her back, and the hair on her body also stood up. She secretly gritted her teeth and said, ¡°It really haunts me!¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You, and a helpless and bitter smile appeared on her face. Both of them turned around and saw Jiang Yi and Lu Man behind them¡­ and Shen Jiao! Jiang Yi and Lu Man looked like they had put in a lot of effort to dress up. With exquisite makeup and a mini skirt, both of them looked rich with all the branded stuff. Shen You couldn¡¯t help but take a step back, as if she was shocked by the feeling of wealth. Shen Jiao looked at Shen You up and down, and her gaze changed slightly. Shen You actually didn¡¯t follow her ¡°suggestion¡±! Shen You never had any thoughts on how to match the clothes, so she would always ask Shen Jiao for advice. Shen Jiao had always been happy to offer her help. After all, this was the kind of Shen You that was easy to master! Shen You didn¡¯t avoid Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze. She smiled at Shen Jiao and greeted, ¡°Long time no see!¡± Shen jiao also smiled, ¡°Yeah! Long time no see!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to come to the mall, too!¡± Lu Man raised her chin and looked at Shen You. Shen You raised her eyebrows and said, ¡°Why? Your family owns the mall?¡± Lu Man was stunned and said coldly, ¡°Do you have money to come to the mall?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget, she is the missy of the Shen Family!¡±Jiang Yi sneered at the side. However, neither of them noticed that Shen Jiao¡¯s face suddenly turned somewhat gloomy when she said this. Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Jiao coughed lightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Shen You chuckled and looked at Shen Jiao. ¡°We have things to do, too. We make a move first!¡± Shen You pulled Xie Xiao and turned to leave. But Lu Man called out from behind, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you afraid?¡± Shen You couldn¡¯t help but sigh from the bottom of her heart. Shen Jiao¡¯s taste in choosing teammates really needed to be improved! ¡°Afraid of you?¡± Shen You turned around and looked at Lu Man. Lu Man snorted arrogantly, ¡°Why would you go away if you¡¯re not afraid?¡± Shen You sighed helplessly, ¡°Fine! Then I won¡¯t go away!¡± Shen You let go of Xie Xiao¡¯s hand and just stood there quietly looking at Lu Man. Then, there was a moment of silence. On both sides, five people were looking at each other. Shen Jiao took a deep breath and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Hearing the impatience in Shen Jiao¡¯s voice, Lu Man quickly turned around and said, ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s ignore this country bumpkin! Let¡¯s go shopping!¡± Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. Who had started this? Finally, she watched the three gods of plague leave. Xie Xiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Lu Man and the others would cause trouble here. Although those people did not have much brains, they were after all missies of some families. If they really caused trouble, it would not end well. ¡°Look! Is that your Lord Ling Xiang?¡± While Xie Xiao was stunned, Shen You suddenly shook her arm vigorously and asked. Xie Xiao turned her head to look and instantly became excited as well. Her face flushed red, and her entire face was full of joy. Xie Xiao grabbed Shen You¡¯s hand and rushed forward. Shen You was being pulled, and her body could not help but stumble along the way. There were many people at the signing event, and it was very chaotic. Shen You carefully followed Xie Xiao¡¯s side, afraid that she would be squeezed out. She had never participated in such an activity before, and she was infected by the people around her. Those people shouted excitedly, and their voices were hoarse. For some reason, Shen you felt that her heart was beating rapidly as well, almost jumping out of her throat. She could feel the little drops of luck value from the surroundings continuously surging towards her. Shen You¡¯s expression instantly became pleasantly surprised. Actually, in such a place, luck value could also be obtained! ¡°System! Can I go to a place with a lot of people to obtain luck value? Will it be faster?¡± Shen You asked as if she had discovered a new continent. The system¡¯s voice came slowly, ¡°You finally remembered me!¡± Shen You smiled awkwardly. Indeed, the school life these few days was too chaotic, and she had forgotten about the system for a moment. ¡°Aren¡¯t you everywhere! How could I forget you!¡± Shen You said calmly. The system snorted and said, ¡°I¡¯d be a fool to believe you!¡± ¡°Alright! Answer my question first!¡± Shen You said coquettishly, trying to muddle through. The system was no longer conflicted and replied patiently, ¡°The accumulation of luck value does not necessarily mean that you will gain more when there are more people.¡± ¡°In places with more people, because the polluted air is too heavy, it instead will affect your luck value.¡± The system emphasized the word ¡®turbid air¡¯. Shen You was a little confused. ¡°You mean¡­ the polluted air will affect luck value?¡± ¡°You can interpret it ay that way!¡± The system answered affirmatively. Shen You was a little unhappy. ¡°Then how can I quickly accumulate my luck value?¡± ¡°You have forgotten¡­ that you still have Huo Xiao?¡± The system reminded her again. Shen You had a feeling that the system was as if intentionally or unintentionally leading her to Huo Xiao. She frowned and said, ¡°But Huo Xiao is hard to get close to!¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you already settled down by his side?¡± The system reminded her warmly again, ¡°As the saying goes, where there¡¯s a will, there¡¯s a way!¡± Shen You was speechlessly, ¡°How do I get close to an ice cube?¡± The system sounded like it was gloating, ¡°Good luck! I have faith in you!¡± Just as Shen You was about to say something, the system suddenly disappeared. Shen You stood rooted to the spot, suddenly feeling someone patting her shoulder. Shen You snapped back to her senses, only to see Xie Xiao looking at her worriedly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? You¡¯ve been standing there in a daze!¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You worriedly. Shen You grinned and said, ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m suddenly a little tired.¡± ¡°What about you? Are you done?¡± Shen You realized that she had been pulled out of the group by Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao happily raised the picture album in his hand. ¡°Look! Autograph!¡± Shen You looked down and saw that the front page of the picture album had the words ¡®To Xiao¡¯ written on it, and the signature was ¡®Ling Xiang¡¯. Shen You glanced at the God of Ling Xiang who was buried by the crowd. It seemed impossible to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the god! Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You accompanied Xie Xiao as they waited in the mall for a while. The two of them arrived at the balcony on the second floor, just nice to see the crowded signing event below. However, the angle was at the back of the booth, so she still couldn¡¯t see anything. Not long after, the signing event ended. Shen You was only in time to see a completely black figure following the staff members¡¯ lead to the passageway by the side. Xie Xiao held Shen You¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯m satisfied today!¡± The two of them came to Xie Xiao¡¯s sister¡¯s shop and found a quiet spot to sit down. Xie Xiao¡¯s sister¡¯s name was Xie Chen, and she was a top graduate of M University. The two sisters were influenced by their parents, and their temperaments looked so demure and elegant. If Xie Xiao had not dragged her to some two-dimensional signing event, Shen You would never have thought that Xie Xiao had such a lively side. Xie Chen looked even more gentle and generous. Her every move gave off a warm feeling. Shen You could faintly feel that Xie Chen¡¯s luck value was even stronger than Xie Xiao¡¯s. However, these luck values seemed to be rejecting her. Shen You was a little confused. She sat on the sofa and looked at the smiling Xie Chen in front of her. ¡°You two continue to chat. I still have something to do. I¡¯ll get back to work first.¡± After saying this, Xie Chen left. Shen You leaned against the sofa and took a sip of the coffee in front of her. However, there was some doubt in her heart. Xie Xiao did not notice the change in Shen You. She only took out her picture album and gently stroked it with hier hands. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao¡¯s expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°Do you know that now you look¡­ very perverted!¡± When Xie Xiao heard that, he glared at Shen You and said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! I don¡¯t understand!¡± As Shen You said that, she scooped a mouthful of the cake in front of her. She put the cake into her mouth but could not help but frown. ¡°This¡­¡± As Shen You said that, she paused. Xie Xiao looked up at Shen You and saw that she was frowning. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You strangely. ¡°It doesn¡¯t taste right.¡± Shen You frowned. She felt that there was something strange about this cake. Xie Xiao scooped up a mouthful of the cake and tasted it. ¡°There¡¯s no problem with it! It¡¯s the cake that sister made.¡± Shen You thought for a moment and asked, ¡°How¡¯s the sales of this cake?¡± Xie Xiao shook her head. ¡°Sister said that the cakes in the shop have never been easy to sell.¡± Shen You was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Xiao and asked tentatively, ¡°Do you think this cake is delicious?¡± Xie Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Sister has always made cakes with this flavor¡­ I think it¡¯s still okay!¡± Hearing Xie Xiao¡¯s words, Shen you suddenly felt that it made sense. After all, what reason would freeloaders have to raise their opinions? Shen You sighed and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and talk to your sister.¡± Xie Xiao did not know what Shen You wanted to do, but she still nodded and followed Shen You to the counter. Xie Chen sat behind the counter and was reading a book in her hand. There were not many people in this shop to begin with. Most of the people who came to the shop would drink coffee and read books to pass time. As a result, most of Xie Chen¡¯s time is in leisure. Shen You looked at such an atmosphere and neither she felt happy nor worried. Even though she never came to this shop in her past life. But she always hear people say that the coffee in this shop is very good, there were many books, and the lady owner was very nice. However, the store suddenly closed after only a few years of operation. Shen You had never understood the reason why this shop could not continue operating. Now it seemed that¡­ she might have found the reason! Xie Chen saw Xie Xiao and Shen You walking over and asked in puzzlement, ¡°Do you need anything else?¡± Xie Chen¡¯s tone was gentle, but it did not make Shen You feel close. Shen You smiled at Xie Chen and said, ¡°Sister Xie Chen, can I borrow your kitchen?¡± Xie Chen looked at Shen You in confusion, then she turned to look at Xie Xiao with a questioning look in her eyes. Xie Xiao shook her head. She did not know what Shen You wanted to do. Shen You smiled and said, ¡°I want to make a snack for Sister Xie Chen to try.¡± Although Xie Chen was a little confused, she still led Shen You and Xie Xiao into the kitchen. After Shen You confirmed the supplies and ingredients in the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves and started working. Xie Chen and Xie Xiao looked at each other. They did not expect Shen You to be so skillful in cooking! They watched as Shen You was mixing flour to seasoning, then to molding and baking in one go. The two sisters stood at the side and watched in a daze without making a sound. Shen You placed the last tray of snacks into the oven, clapped her hands, then turned to Xie Chen and Xie Xiao and said, ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± The two sisters looked surprised, almost clapping their hands for Shen You. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Although Xie Chen also knew how to bake desserts, she always caused chaos in the kitchen. Therefore, although the shop was selling desserts, the sales was not much. Shen You came in front of Xie Chen and said with a smile, ¡°Sister Xie Chen, if you are satisfied with the desserts I made, can I work here?¡± Shen You¡¯s question surprised Xie Chen even more. Xie Xiao didn¡¯t expect Shen You to make such a request. ¡°What made you think of coming out to work?¡± ¡°Sigh! Poor people have small ambitions! Women should be financially independent!¡± Shen You patted her chest and said. Xie Chen looked at Shen You and suddenly felt a little funny. Shen You suddenly felt a warm current coming from Xie Chen¡¯s direction. Shen You was pleasantly surprised to find that Xie Chen¡¯s luck value was slowly being injected into her body. ¡°There¡¯s actually this kind of operation!¡± Shen You secretly exclaimed. ¡°You¡¯re in the Shen family¡­ isn¡¯t it good?¡± Xie Chen asked tentatively. Shen You shrugged and said, ¡°That place isn¡¯t suitable for me!¡± ¡°So, I want to move out as soon as possible! To achieve financial independence, I need to find a job first!¡± Shen You patiently explained her independent plan. When Xie Xiao heard Shen You¡¯s words, his eyes revealed a look of envy and admiration. ¡°If you need it, actually¡­¡± Xie Chen was about to say that she could help. Shen You hurriedly waved her hand and said, ¡°I want to rely on myself for everything!¡± Xie Chen looked at Shen You with a look of admiration. Xie Chen had originally wanted to find a job that she liked after graduating from school, so that she could show off his skills. However, after going through corporatized training and competition in the office, Xie Chen gradually lost the battle. She really couldn¡¯t get into that kind of environment, nor could she adapt to that kind of scheming in the open and in the dark. In particular, when her boyfriend, who had been in love with her for a year, suddenly announced that he was in love with her new colleague. She instantly despaired with the workplace. She then returned to her own place and used her savings to open her own shop. Her parents nagged incessantly, so she moved out to live in the shop. When Xie Xiao saw her sister move out, she also moved out with the excuse that the shop was closer to the school. ¡°Okay! If you can make delicious desserts, then I¡¯ll keep you!¡± Xie Chen suddenly smiled, looking warm and sunny. Shen You smiled happily and quickly thanked Xie Chen. Xie Xiao walked to Shen You¡¯s side, grabbed her hand, and secretly pinched it. Shen You replied with a firm smile. She was very confident in her skills! In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort to pursue Zhao Nan. She had also consulted many masters to learn how to make desserts. ¡®Ding!¡¯ The desserts were finally baked. Shen You took the desserts out of the hot oven. Xie Xiao and Xie Chen went over to take a look. They saw that the color and shape of the desserts that Shen You baked were much better than Xie Chen¡¯s! Xie Xiao stretched out his hand and impatiently took out a dessert to taste. ¡°Wait!¡± Shen You immediately stopped Xie Chen. ¡°Frosting!¡± Xie Xiao chuckled as he put down the dessert in her hand. ¡°This dessert is really beautiful!¡± Xie Chen also nodded his head approvingly. ¡°Your craftsmanship is really good!¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t know how it tastes!¡± Xie Chen also picked up a piece of dessert, scooped it up with a spoon, and put it into her mouth. Xie Xiao gently nibbled on the dessert, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. ¡°Delicious!¡± Xie Chen nodded and put down the dessert. She smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve passed!¡± Shen You smiled and said to Xie Chen, ¡°Thank you, Sister Chen! Please guide me in the future!¡± ¡°If¡­¡± Xie Chen hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°If you need a place to stay, I have an empty room upstairs.¡± Hearing that, Shen You¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really? Can I stay here?¡± Xie Chen nodded and looked at Xie Xiao. ¡°I¡¯m usually busy, and Xie Xiao doesn¡¯t have many friends. You two can be together.¡± Shen You¡¯s eyes sparkled. She sniffed and said, ¡°Okay! Thank you, Sister Chen!¡± Xie Xiao was also very happy that Shen You could stay here. Although her sister looked kind and virtuous, her cooking skills were really not good. Ever since she ate the food prepared by Shen You, Xie Xiao was looking forward to Shen You¡¯s cooking! It seemed that her good days were coming soon! Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You returned home, greeted Li Ru, and began to pack up her luggage, ready to move. In the evening, Shen Rong came to Shen You¡¯s room. ¡°Are you really going to shift out?¡± Shen Rong stood outside the open door and asked, his gaze falling on Shen You, who was busy packing up. ¡°Yes!¡± Shen You didn¡¯t even look back as she was packing her luggage. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to stay at home?¡± Shen Rong frowned slightly. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Shen You¡¯s departure. ¡°Home?¡± Shen You straightened up and turned around to look at Shen Rong. ¡°Yes! This is your home¡­¡± After Shen You said that, there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes. She returned to her busy packing. Shen Rong looked at Shen You¡¯s expression and instantly felt a little heartache. ¡°I know you¡¯re not happy here¡­¡± Shen Rong paused before continuing, ¡°But, this is your home after all!¡± ¡°If you¡¯ve been wronged outside, you must remember to come back!¡± Shen Rong¡¯s words sounded a little sad and moved. However, these words sounded especially sarcastic in Shen You¡¯s ears. ¡°Wronged?¡± Shen You looked at Shen Rong with a smile. She finally put down the things in her hands and came in front of Shen Rong. ¡°The wrongs that I have suffered in my life are probably all given to me by this family!¡± As Shen You said this, the smile on her face looked a little sad. The expression on Shen Rong¡¯s face suddenly froze. He was stunned for a moment before he slowly asked, ¡°Then¡­ can I still call you sister in the future?¡± Shen Rong asked cautiously and it made her feel a little sad. She sighed and stepped forward to pat Shen Rong on the shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I will always be your sister!¡± Shen You did not have much hostility and disappointment towards Shen Rong. Firstly, in her previous life, Shen Rong was the person in the Shen family that treated her the best. Even though between Shen Jiao and her, Shen Rong chose Shen Jiao in the end¡­ However, after all, more than ten years of relationship could not be offset by blood and kinship. Hence, Shen You even somewhat appreciated Shen Rong. However, she did not want to stay in the Shen family anymore. She did not want to be bound by this place! Shen Rong smiled and seemed to have calmed down a little. He took two steps forward and his expression relaxed a little. ¡°How is it? Do you need my help?¡± Shen You shook her head and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you sit down and chat with me?¡± Shen Rong readily agreed. The two of them chatted in Shen You¡¯s room like never before. Shen You originally thought that Shen Rong was the youngest in the family and that he must have been pampered. Who knew that from Shen Jiao¡¯s words, Shen You knew that Shen Jiao was the most pampered one in the family. It was because she was the one and only girl in the Shen family. But, this changed after Shen You came back! Or, from the beginning, this one and only¡­ had been wrong! Since this was the reality, Shen You didn¡¯t need to care too much about it. Right now, she only wanted to escape from the Shen family as soon as possible! Shen Jiao stood at the door of Shen You¡¯s room and listened to the conversation between Shen You and Shen Rong. Her eyes were filled with hatred. She had only seen Shen Rong come to Shen You¡¯s room, but she did not expect to see the scene of the two siblings being so affectionate! Shen Jiao¡¯s nails dug into her palm. ¡°Shen You! Don¡¯t think that you can get everything just by retreating!¡± Shen Jiao swung her hand and left Shen You¡¯s room. Shen You packed until late at night. The next morning, she dragged her suitcase and went to school. Zhu Ge whistled twice when he saw Shen You going to school with her luggage. ¡°Idol! What trick are you playing this time?¡± Zhu Ge walked backward in front of Shen You. Shen You couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She continued to walk to school with her luggage. Zhu Ge continued to ask with a smile, ¡°What? Are you being chased out by the Shen family?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have a place to stay, you can stay at my house!¡± Zhu Ge couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°Although my house isn¡¯t as big as the Zhao family¡¯s, it¡¯s more than enough to accommodate you!¡± Shen You rolled her eyes and couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. Zhu Ge, on the other hand, kept walking around Shen You¡¯s side. Finally, Shen You couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and stood still. ¡°Either you help with the luggage, or shut up!¡± Zhu Ge was stunned for a moment, then he replied with an ¡°oh¡± and quickly went forward to pull Shen You¡¯s luggage. ¡°Look at me! I¡¯ve forgotten that you¡¯re also a girl just because I regarded you as my idol!¡± Zhu Ge laughed as he held the luggage with one hand and patted Shen You with the other. At this moment, a figure walked past the two of them. A huge force hit Shen You¡¯s shoulder. Shen You staggered and almost fell to the ground. ¡°You!¡± Shen You angrily pointed at the person who hit her. Chapter 20 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Zhao Nan! Be careful when you walk!¡± Zhu Ge pulled Shen You to prevent her from falling, and he couldn¡¯t help but shout. Zhao Nan, who was hurriedly walking past, didn¡¯t seem to hear Zhu Ge¡¯s words. He hurriedly walked past, and it looked like there was something chasing him from behind. Shen You sighed helplessly. Whether it was in her previous life or this life, she had never been accepted by Zhao Nan! However, to her, this did not matter anymore. ¡°Shen You!¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s voice came from behind. Shen You stood up steadily and looked at Xie Xiao who was rushing over. Xie Xiao glanced at Zhu Ge and then looked at the gray-black luggage. ¡°You have packed everything?¡± Xie Xiao asked curiously. She saw Shen You and Zhu Ge from afar. However, before she could catch up to them, she saw Zhao Nan rush over. Shen You nodded and took the luggage back from Zhu Ge. ¡°All my belongings are here!¡± Xie Xiao walked forward and held Shen You¡¯s arm as they walked towards the classroom. ¡°Sister has already tidied up the room! You are welcome to stay anytime!¡± ¡°Are you going to stay at the class monitor¡¯s house?¡± Zhu Ge asked curiously. ¡°Yes!¡± Shen You nodded. ¡°I will be working at the coffee shop at the corner of the street. Come over when you have time!¡± ¡°Working?¡± Zhu Ge became even more curious. ¡°Yes! The coffee shop at the corner of the street is run by Xie Xiao¡¯s sister. I will be working there!¡± Shen You did not forget to advertise Xie Chen¡¯s shop. ¡°That shop¡­ isn¡¯t it¡­¡± Zhu Ge said and paused. He did not continue what he was going to say. Shen You looked at Zhu Ge¡¯s hesitant expression and turned to look at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao clearly saw that Zhu Ge had something to say, but his expression was also filled with doubt. Xie Xiao turned to look at Shen You, and the two of them looked at each other. Zhu Ge seemed to have realized that he had misspoken. He hurriedly tried to help Shen You carry her luggage. ¡°Quick! Idol! Class is about to start. Let¡¯s go quickly!¡± After Zhu Ge finished speaking, he pulled his luggage and ran in the direction of the classroom. Shen You and Xie Xiao did not expect Zhu Ge to do such a thing. They cried out in surprise and followed Zhu Ge¡¯s footsteps. When the three of them came to the classroom , they found out that Shen Jiao was already sitting in the classroom. Her seat was diagonally in front of Zhao Nan. From her direction, one could see Zhao Nan¡¯s gloomy face. Shen You did not have a good impression of these two people at the moment. She raised her head and pulled her luggage as she walked towards her seat. Huo Xiao had not arrived yet. His desk was always clean. Nothing was placed on it. Even his desk and locker had always been clean. Nothing was left behind. Shen You looked at the seat beside her and fell into deep thought. ¡°I can¡¯t just rely on Huo Xiao to get my luck value!¡± Shen You thought to herself. ¡°The sudden surge of luck value last time, could it be related to me throwing dirty water on him?¡± ¡°No way!¡± Shen You was a little confused. ¡°Could it be that this guy is masochistic?¡± The more Shen You thought about it, the more likely it was. Right at this moment, Huo Xiao¡¯s figure appeared at the door of the classroom. He was still dressed in clean white, looking both sunny and gentle. He walked into the classroom and attracted almost everyone¡¯s attention. Shen You also subconsciously looked at Huo Xiao. She did not know if it was an illusion or something else, but she had a feeling that Huo Xiao¡¯s body would glow! Huo Xiao walked to his seat and did not even look at Shen You. Shen You shrugged and did not take it to heart. She was already used to this kind of treatment! ¡°Hey! Did you feel anything different with Huo Xiao today?¡± A girl in the class whispered to the person next to her. ¡°Yes, I felt it but I couldn¡¯t tell what!¡± The girl next to her also sized Huo Xiao up carefully. Huo Xiao was already used to being sized up by the people around him, so he did not pay too much attention to it. When Shen You heard what the others said, she also curiously turned to look at Huo Xiao. She carefully looked at Huo Xiao up and down. Suddenly, she noticed that as she looked, Huo Xiao¡¯s ears became redder¡­ redder and redder¡­ Shen You¡¯s eyes were wide open as if she had discovered a new continent. She stared at Huo Xiao even more intently, wanting to see what kind of magical reaction he would have. Suddenly, Huo Xiao turned to look at Shen You. ¡°Have you looked enough?¡± Shen You was shocked. Clearly, she did not expect Huo Xiao to have such a big reaction. ¡°You! What are you doing?¡± Shen You asked subconsciously. Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Nothing!¡± After saying that, he turned his head back angrily. That¡¯s right! He was angry! Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in shock. She did not expect that Huo Xiao, who was described as calm and collected by others, would have such an expression! Chapter 21 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhao Nan watched the movements of the two from the side. The expression on his face was hard to understand. Shen Jiao turned her head and was about to speak to Zhao Nan. When she saw his uncertain expression, her heart tightened again. She organized her expression and smiled. ¡°How are you? Do you have time to come over for dinner today?¡± ¡°My mom said that she bought a lot of your favorites and asked me to invite you over for dinner,¡± Shen Jiao said with a charming smile. Lu Man and Jiang Yi watched from the side and teased her. ¡°Is this asking her son-in-law to come over?¡± Lu Man giggled. Jiang Yi teased, ¡°Is there good news coming soon?¡± Shen Jiao waved her hand and said, ¡°How is that possible!¡± As she spoke, her face was slightly blushing. Zhao Nan slowly lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m not free today.¡± Hearing Zhao Nan¡¯s reply, Shen Jiao and the other two were stunned. Those who were listening by the side could not help but sigh for Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao was clearly sticking herself onto Zhao Nan, but not yet! ¡°Don¡¯t you think that Zhao Nan has become strange, too?¡± A girl on the other side of the class mumbled. The girl who was stuffing milk into her mouth nodded. ¡°Yeah! It¡¯s very strange!¡± ¡°Yeah! In the past, no matter how cool Zhao Nan was, he was still gentle towards Shen Jiao!¡± A girl behind came forward. ¡°Look at Zhao Nan¡¯s attitude now. It¡¯s obvious that Shen Jiao is no different from those girls who came after him!¡± The girl said as she walked between the two of them. The three of them gathered together and started gossiping openly. Although the three of them were not loud, the classroom was small, so their voices naturally reached Shen Jiao¡¯s ears. Shen Jiao¡¯s expression darkened slightly, but she could not just let her anger flare up. She secretly gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart. Her gaze, whether intentionally or unintentionally, swept past Shen You. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Shen You felt a chill on her back and subconsciously shrunk her neck. ¡°Jiao, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Lu Man quickly comforted her. Shen Jiao¡¯s cold gaze instantly landed on Lu Man. Lu Man was startled by that gaze and timidly shrank back. Jiang Yi quickly pulled Lu Man away and said, ¡°Xiao Man is doing this for your own good.¡± Shen Jiao lowered her gaze. In less than two seconds, she looked up again with a bright smile on her face. ¡°I know! Thank you!¡± Shen Jiao¡¯s voice was soft and gentle. Lu Man looked at Shen Jiao in fear. She did not respond and returned to her seat. Jiang Yi also smiled awkwardly and returned to her seat. Shen You did not notice what had happened to Shen Jiao. She was focused on figuring out how to get more luck value from Huo Xiao. Last time, she had poured dirty water on him, and his luck value output had suddenly become abundant. Could it be that as long as she stimulated him and made him excited, she could get more luck value? With this thought in mind, Shen You was ready to give it a try. She raised her hand, intending to slap the back of Huo Xiao¡¯s head. To make Huo Xiao excited, this was probably the easiest and most convenient way. Just as Shen You was about to make a move, she heard the system¡¯s voice in her mind, ¡°Benefactor, wait!¡± Shen You¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air, stunned like a fool. Huo Xiao turned his head to look at Shen You¡¯s frozen movements, and his brows instantly twisted together. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Shen You laughed awkwardly and waved her hand in the air. ¡°There are mosquitoes!¡± Huo Xiao obviously did not believe Shen You¡¯s words. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Shen You. Shen You laughed dryly again and turned to lean against Zhu Ge¡¯s desk, pretending to chat. Zhu Ge was looking at a stack of ¡®little cards¡¯ in his hands on the desk. When he heard the movement, he looked up and saw Shen You¡¯s face looking at him foolishly. Zhu Ge was shocked and quickly held the little cards in his hands in his arms. It looked like he was afraid that Shen You would snatch his treasure! Shen You sighed helplessly and thought to herself, in my previous life, I had only followed Zhao Nan and didn¡¯t pay attention to the people around him¡­ Did he really have such a stupid brother by his side? Shen You waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn¡¯t snatch Zhu Ge¡¯s treasure. Only then did Zhu Ge rest assured and lay back on the desk. The two of them rested their chins on the desk, not far from each other¡­ Suddenly, a book smashed heavily onto Zhu Ge¡¯s back. Zhu Ge cried out in shock and turned around to scold. However, when he saw Zhao Nan slowly get up and walk to his side to pick up the book, he choked back his words. Zhao Nan walked to Zhu Ge¡¯s side as if nothing had happened and picked up the book. He didn¡¯t even look at Zhu Ge or Shen You the entire time¡­ Chapter 22 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhu Ge was beaten up, but he could only mutter a few words to himself. He didn¡¯t have the temper to scold him back. He sighed and leaned against the back of the chair, sitting up straight. At this moment, he didn¡¯t dare to be so close to Shen You anymore! Shen You looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s actions inexplicably, and then looked at Zhu Ge¡¯s respectful manner toward her¡­ She shrugged and returned to her seat. ¡°Why did you ask me to stop just now?¡± Shen You asked the system in dissatisfaction. The system replied helplessly, ¡°If you¡¯re not afraid of being hunted down, of course you can¡­¡± ¡°The last time you dodged a bullet was because it was an accident!¡± The system said leisurely, ¡°But if you deliberately did it¡­¡± ¡°Hunt me down? Who will hunt me down?¡± Shen You was curious. ¡°Those brainless girls with big boobs?¡± Shen you laughed. Shen You naturally knew that Huo Xiao had a bunch of crazy fangirls. Although those girls were crazy when they did things, it wasn¡¯t to the extent of hunting her down! Moreover, those people might not even be able to hunt her down! The more Shen You thought about it, the more pleased she became. At this moment, the system poured cold water on her, ¡°You have underestimated the madness of women!¡± Shen You shrugged indifferently. ¡°Moreover¡­¡± the system spoke again, ¡°Do you think there are only women?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me there are men, too?¡± Shen You asked in disbelief, her gaze subconsciously glancing at Huo Xiao. The system coughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand! It¡¯s the Huo family¡¯s bodyguards who won¡¯t let you off!¡± ¡°Bodyguards? Huo Xiao still brings bodyguards?¡± Shen you couldn¡¯t help but look around in surprise. ¡°Are they nearby? Why can¡¯t I see them?¡± ¡°Naturally, they¡¯re somewhere that you can¡¯t see¡­ or they might be people you can¡¯t imagine!¡± The system said meaningfully. Shen You couldn¡¯t help but be even more stunned. ¡°There¡¯s also such operations¡­ Then how do I stimulate him?¡± ¡°I just found out that stimulating him is the fastest way to obtain luck value!¡± Shen You said unwillingly. ¡°He¡¯s like a rubber ball, a little more luck will leak out when you poke him!¡± Shen You chuckled, and her expression looked a little silly¡­ ¡°You can think of other ways,¡± the system suggested. ¡°Psychological stimulation is often more likely to cause emotional fluctuations than physical stimulation,¡± the system explained patiently. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that getting more luck value, emotional fluctuations and changes are the key?¡± Hearing the system¡¯s words, Shen You instantly widened her eyes, ¡°So that¡¯s how it works!¡± ¡°Since you already know it, hurry up and act!¡± The system urged, not forgetting to leave a word before leaving, ¡°Good luck!¡± After ending the conversation with the system, she began to think. ¡°How can I make Huo Xiao¡¯s emotions fluctuate?¡± Shen You turned her scrutinizing gaze towards Huo Xiao.. ¡­ Huo Xiao felt that Shen You was staring at him the entire day. He did not want to care about it, but Shen You did not seem to realize it at all. Finally, he could not hold it in anymore. He gritted his teeth and asked, ¡°What on earth do you want?¡± Shen You¡¯s mind was full of thoughts. To make Huo Xiao¡¯s emotions fluctuate, she had to be by his side at all times! Hearing Huo Xiao¡¯s question, Shen You subconsciously replied, ¡°How do I cling to you?¡± Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°What did you say?¡± Shen You was startled by Huo Xiao¡¯s voice and only then did she come back to her senses. ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I was distracted!¡± Shen You looked at Huo Xiao and replied indifferently, ¡°I was thinking about how I could always be by your side.¡± Upon hearing Shen You¡¯s serious answer, Huo Xiao¡¯s face flushed red. The surrounding people heard their conversation and held back their laughter. Zhu Ge, however, burst into laughter from behind. ¡°Shen You, are you going to pursue Huo Xiao?¡± ¡°Pursue?¡± Shen you thought for a moment. ¡°That¡¯s fine, too!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Huo Xiao¡¯s blushed even more. Xie Xiao sat in the front row and turned to look at Shen You. Her eyes were filled with admiration¡­ Shen Jiao¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. Lu Man sat in her seat and sneered, ¡°A clown! You¡¯re indeed from the countryside!¡± Shen You slowly turned around and faced Lu Man, ¡°So what if coming from the countryside?¡± ¡°A person from the countryside has less meat than you?¡± Shen You said as her gaze swept over Lu Man. Lu Man subconsciously covered her chest and snorted, ¡°Low class!¡± Shen You sneered, ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything! If you think of something low class, it can only mean that your thinking is low class!¡± Seeing that she could not win against Shen You, Lu Man did not speak anymore. Chapter 23 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, at this moment, Jiang Yi said, ¡°I heard that you pursued Zhao Nan relentlessly in the past!¡± Zhao Nan, whose name was called out for no reason, still looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He did not react at all. Shen You looked at Zhao Nan and said, ¡°It is not if it is not meant to be!¡± Shen You accepted her fate! She had pursued someone for a lifetime without any results, so why should she persist? Zhao Nan¡¯s expression slightly stiffened when he heard Shen You¡¯s words. Hearing what Shen You had said, Zhu Ge gave Zhao Nan an unfathomable look. Then, he smiled and said to Shen You, ¡°Idol! You can do it! I support you!¡± Seeing the group discussion, Huo Xiao felt it was somewhat ridiculous, but no one actually cared about his thought. It was not until after school, when Huo Xiao walked out of the classroom, that he realized that Shen You was actually following him. He frowned and looked at Shen You, who was a head shorter than him. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Following you!¡± Shen You said firmly. Looking at Shen You dragging her luggage while following him, Huo Xiao suddenly felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his head! He was angry, but he tried his best to lower his voice and said, ¡°Don¡¯t follow me!¡± At this moment, Shen You felt another wave of luck value attacking her. However, this wave of luck value was both rapid and violent. Shen You was hit so hard that she kept coughing. It looked like she was about to pass out. Huo Xiao was shocked. He did not expect Shen You to have such a big reaction towards his mere one sentence. He wanted to reach out and help Shen You, who looked like she was about to faint, but then he stopped. Shen You finally recovered from the shock and stared at Huo Xiao strangely. ¡°System! What¡¯s going on!¡± Shen You asked, feeling irritated. ¡°I told you to be careful! When your emotions are too strong, your luck value will also become strong!¡± The system gloated. ¡°When did you say that!¡± Shen You was furious. ¡°Anyway, be careful, don¡¯t rush!¡± The system reminded her again patiently. Shen You sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Alright¡­¡± She slowly turned around and walked in the other direction with her luggage. Huo Xiao reached out his hand wanting to stop her, but then he gave up after thinking about it. Shen You slowly walked out of Huo Xiao¡¯s sight. Huo Xiao had a strange feeing, but then he decided to ignore her. ¡°Ah! Idol! You¡¯re off to a bad start!¡± Zhu Ge had a candy in his mouth as he stood on the stairs and watched Shen You slowly walk down. Zhao Nan, who was standing next to him, narrowed his eyes. There seemed to be a hint of pride in his eyes. Shen You walked all the way to the coffee shop at the corner of the street. Xie Xiao was told to stay back after school by the form teacher. She only managed to catch up with Shen You when they almost reached the coffee shop. She looked at Shen You¡¯s somewhat dejected expression and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Shen You¡¯s voice sounded a little dejected. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Sister said that we¡¯re having a big meal today!¡± Xie Xiao held Shen You¡¯s hand and led her walking towards the coffee shop hurriedly. In the distance, Zhu Ge and Zhao Nan appeared under the street light across the street. ¡°It¡¯s indeed here!¡± Zhu Ge looked at the familiar sign and said. Zhao Nan also followed the sign and looked at it. ¡°Shen You is staying here. Don¡¯t tell Brother Feng.¡± Zhu Ge nodded. He knew Zhao Nan¡¯s concerns. ¡­ ¡°Welcome, Xiao You!¡± Xie Chen stood up with her wine glass. Shen You and Xie Xiao also stood up with their wine glasses. ¡°Thank you, Sister Chen! Thank you, Xiao Xiao!¡± Shen You said sincerely. Xie Xiao pressed Shen You down to her seat. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. This will be your home from now on!¡± ¡°We will be your family!¡± Xie Xiao said solemnly. Shen You¡¯s eyes were filled with gratitude. Xie Chen also smiled gently. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. ¡°If you need anything, just tell me and Xiao Xiao.¡± Shen You nodded heavily. Tears welled up in her eyes. No one had ever treated her so gently and well! Even though she had lived for two lifetimes, this was also the first time she felt the warmth of home! The three of them sat around the table eating the steaming hot pot. As Xie Xiao was eating, he teased Shen You, ¡°I¡¯m really impressed by your actions today!¡± Xie Chen looked at the two of them inquisitively. ¡°This fellow actually said that she wanted to cling to Huo Xiao!¡± Xie Xiao said with eyes filled with admiration. When Xie Chen heard this, she blinked his eyes. ¡°Huo Xiao? The young master of the Huo family?¡± Xie Xiao nodded heavily. ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s him! Isn¡¯t it amazing?¡± Shen You waved her hand and stopped Xie Xiao. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t say that! I had no choice!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think Zhao Nan thinks so¡­¡± Xie Xiao shook her head. ¡°You didn¡¯t see his expression today!¡± ¡°When he heard that you were going to cling onto Huo Xiao, his eyes almost shot out knives!¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s expression was exaggerated as she gestured with her hands. Chapter 24 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°How is that possible? You must be mistaken!¡± Shen you waved her hand in disbelief. Back then, she had been pursuing Zhao Nan as her fianc¨¦e for so long, but Zhao Nan had remained unmoved. It didn¡¯t make sense that Zhao Nan would fall for her before she was engaged to Zhao Nan. ¡°I think Zhao Nan might have fallen for Huo Xiao!¡± Shen you said, making herself chuckle. ¡°If Zhao Nan knew this was what you were talking about him, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood!¡± Xie Xiao could not help but laugh. ¡°He¡¯s a famous straight man!¡± Xie Xiao clicked his tongue and said. ¡°He¡¯s a straight man¡­¡± Shen you thought of Zhao Nan¡¯s previous actions and could not help but nod in agreement. Shen You¡¯s words immediately made the three of them laugh. They had all heard of Zhao Nan¡¯s straight deeds. He had sent all the love letters that the girls had given him back intact. He had also given all the gifts received to the people around him. Up until now, he had really never touched those things. It was said that there was once a girl who stuffed the love letters into the book that Zhao Nan often read. When Zhao Nan found out, he asked the person to take it away together with the book. ¡°Stop talking about him! Let¡¯s celebrate my new life!¡± Shen You said as she raised her glass. Xie Xiao and Xie Chen looked at each other and then raised their glasses in celebration. After eating and drinking, Xie Chen let Xie Xiao and Shen you back to their rooms to rest. Shen You lay on the bed and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, but she felt more at ease than she had ever felt before. At this moment, she finally felt a brand-new trajectory of her life¡­ ¡­ The next day at school, Shen You¡¯s youthful appearance made many people suspect that she had already made her move on Huo Xiao! Shen You was sitting in her seat, packing her things when suddenly a voice called out from the door, ¡°Shen You, your brother is looking for you!¡± Shen You looked up and indeed saw Shen Rong standing at the door, looking at her anxiously. Shen You quickly got up and came to the door. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Shen Rong looked at Shen You and carefully sized her up. ¡°There¡¯s no news from you last night. I don¡¯t know how you¡¯re doing!¡± Hearing Shen Rong¡¯s words, Shen you immediately laughed. She patted Shen Rong¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m fine!¡± ¡°You changed your number!¡± Shen Rong had a hint of accusation. ¡°You didn¡¯t tell me!¡± Shen You was stunned for a moment and immediately put on an apologetic look. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! I changed my number yesterday. I haven¡¯t had time to tell you!¡± Shen Rong took out his phone and handed it to Shen You. ¡°Here!¡± Shen You obediently saved her number into his phone. ¡°You must answer my calls in the future!¡± Shen Rong reminded. Feeling a little helpless, Shen You nodded obediently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I will!¡± The siblings were chatting and laughing at the door. In the classroom, Shen Jiao¡¯s expression was uncertain. Lu Man walked to Shen Jiao¡¯s side and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t that your brother?¡± Shen Jiao¡¯s back immediately stiffened. ¡°Eh? Shen Rong is here?¡± Jiang Yi also came over and looked outside. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Shen Rong and Shen You to have such a good relationship!¡± Jiang Yi exclaimed. Hearing Lu Man and Jiang Yi¡¯s words, Shen Jiao¡¯s expression became even colder. Lu Man was about to say something when Jiang Yi suddenly pulled her hand. She subconsciously followed Jiang Yi¡¯s gaze and saw that Shen Jiao¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. The two timidly stepped back, not daring to provoke Shen Jiao at this moment. ¡­ Shen You sent Shen Rong off and returned to her seat somewhat helplessly but happily. She had never thought that there would be someone in the Shen family who would be so worried about her. Shen You smiled. Just as she was about to pack her things and start class, she suddenly heard a text notification sound from her phone. She took out her phone and looked at it. It was a number that she did not save. The content of the message was very simple. She could tell at a glance who the person who sent the message was. ¡°After school, wait at the school gate!¡± The only person who could send such an overbearing message was probably her eldest brother, Shen Po! Shen You was a little annoyed that she had given the new number to Shen Rong! She knocked her head hard and cursed herself for being brainless. ¡­ After school, Shen You stood obediently at the school gate and waited for her eldest brother, Shen Po. Shen You was not a person who was at the beck and call of others. However, towards this eldest brother, Shen Po, Shen You did not dare to disobey. Shen You knew very well that if she did not obey obediently today, the consequences would be terrible! It was not because Shen Po had a bad temper or was overbearing and aggressive¡­ But because Shen Po was a person who kept his word and even had some stubbornness! Shen You secretly sighed and resigned herself to fate as she stood in place and waited. Shen Po¡¯s car slowly drove past the school gate and stopped on the other side. He got off the car and walked towards Shen You step by step with a kingly posture. The girls at the school gate all cried out in surprise. It was no wonder that these girls were so excited. Back then, Shen Po was also a famous figure in this school! Chapter 25 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You stood at the school gate in a daze, watching Shen Po walk over step by step. ¡°Eldest¡­ Eldest Brother!¡± Shen You said in a low voice, but her feet subconsciously moved backward. Shen Po acknowledged with an ¡°en¡± sound and looked at Shen You. Shen You had only left for a day, but her entire person seemed to be different. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Shen Po said, turning around and walking in the direction of the car. Shen You did not feel like following him. She struggled and said, ¡°We can just talk here.¡± Shen Po seemed to have expected this reaction from Shen You. He immediately grabbed Shen You¡¯s arm and dragged her away. Shen You did not want to resist. She sighed and resigned herself to her fate and followed him. When Huo Xiao finished school, he had just reached the school gate when he saw Shen You standing at the gate as if she was waiting for someone. He originally thought that she was waiting for him. He did not expect to see Shen Po personally coming to take her! Huo Xiao had more or less heard about the Shen family. However, he did not expect Shen Po to treat this sister who came back to the family so harshly. Looking at Shen You¡¯s wronged expression as she followed behind Shen Po, Huo Xiao actually felt a trace of pity for her. He shook his head and let his terrible thoughts disappear. He quickened his pace and walked past Shen You and Shen Po. Shen You felt the familiar feeling pass by her. She looked up and saw Huo Xiao¡¯s back. She sighed helplessly and continued to follow behind Shen Po. ¡°Get in the car!¡± Shen Po did not say much and opened the car door for Shen You to get in. Shen Youg got into the car obediently. Only then did Shen Po go around and get on the other side of the car. The two of them sat in the car. For a moment, they were silent. After a moment, Shen Po asked, ¡°Why did you move out?¡± Shen You opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. She really wanted to question Shen Po. Did he not know the reason why she left? But¡­ she did not dare! Shen Po had always been the one who kept his word in the family. When Shen Po brought Shen You home, it was also done without her parents¡¯ knowledge. Shen You originally thought that Shen Po bringing her home would be a touching scene of brotherly love. But unexpectedly, Shen Po didn¡¯t care at all whether it was Shen You or Shen Xian who was brought back¡­ He only cared that the Shen family¡¯s bloodline couldn¡¯t be left outside! Shen You did not know whether she should feel moved or complain about her own brother having such an old-fashioned mindset. Seeing that Shen You did not speak, Shen Po said coldly, ¡°If you want to move out, you have to at least take care of yourself!¡± Hearing this, Shen You was a little surprised. She looked at Shen Po and said, ¡°I¡¯m staying at a classmate¡¯s house. It¡¯s pretty good.¡± She said this sincerely so that Shen Po could rest assured. Shen Po replied with an ¡°en¡± before saying, ¡°I¡¯ve already registered you for the skill competition that you wanted to sign up.¡± When Shen You heard this, her eyes immediately widened. ¡°Really?¡± Shen You¡¯s tone was trembling. Shen Po nodded. ¡°Since you wanted to sign up, why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Shen You bit her lower lip. How was she going to explain to Shen Po that the competition that she wanted to sign up had been snatched by Shen Jiao. And how was she going to tell him that Shen Jiao had accidentally revealed to the class teacher that she was doing this to woo Zhao Nan? And If she were to go out to compete, she would only bring shame to the school! With Shen You¡¯s usual poor results, the school would naturally believe what Shen Jiao had said! Shen You had actually been doing well in her studies. However, after coming to the Shen family, she had gradually lost herself. At first, her results were always better than Shen Jiao¡¯s. However, the Shen family always saw Shen Jiao¡¯s sad expression and scolded Shen You for not giving in to her. Shen You didn¡¯t understand what she did wrong, she just wanted to please the Shen family. Therefore, in every test after that, she deliberately did very badly¡­ As time passed, everyone forgot that Shen You was a straight A student when she entered the school! Shen You thought about it and shook her head. She sighed. ¡°What¡¯s the difference between saying it or not? You guys wouldn¡¯t let me go anyway, right?¡± Shen Po frowned. ¡°Why would you have such thoughts?¡± ¡°Your grades were originally very good! Now that it has become this bad, don¡¯t you feel guilty? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed of yourself?¡± Shen Po couldn¡¯t help but ask. Shen You immediately felt wronged and her eyes turned red. ¡°Am I the one who have wanted to do this to myself?¡± ¡°You guys forced me to do this!¡± Shen You suddenly felt that all the wrongs that she had suffered all these years had burst out at this moment. Shen Po was somewhat at a loss. He looked at Shen You, who instantly shed tears, and was speechless for a moment. Chapter 26 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After a while, until Shen You cried her heart out, then only Shen Po opened his mouth again. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you have such thoughts¡­¡± Shen Po muttered to comfort her, ¡°But as a brother, I feel that I have the obligation to educate you.¡± ¡°Educate me?¡± Shen you immediately laughed. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you educate Shen Jiao?¡± Shen you said, and the expression on her face became unfathomable. Ever since she saw the relationship chart, she had been very concerned about the ambiguous relationship between Shen Po and Shen Jiao. Even though she knew that they weren¡¯t biological siblings, Shen You still felt a little disgusted! ¡°You¡¯re all my sisters¡­¡± Shen Po paused before saying. ¡°Sisters?¡± Shen You¡¯s voice sounded a little sarcastic. ¡°Yes! All of you are¡­ sisters!¡± Shen Po emphasized again. Shen You didn¡¯t know where the bitterness came from from in Shen Po¡¯s mouth. However, she felt that Shen Po seemed to be suppressing something. ¡°Since all of us are your sisters, then please treat all of us equally.¡± Shen You¡¯s tone contained some desire. Shen Po looked at Shen You¡¯s pitiful look and sighed. ¡°I have always treated all of you equally.¡± ¡°Alright, I came here to tell you to prepare for the competition and not to embarrass the Shen family!¡± Shen Po¡¯s words carried a bit of authority. Shen You gradually smiled. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Alright! Go back early!¡± Shen Po said and let the driver to open the door for Shen You. Shen you obediently got out of the car. The moment she closed the car door, Shen Po¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°Take good care of yourself!¡± Shen You stood where she was and watched Shen Po¡¯s car leave. Perhaps¡­ the Shen family was not all as she had thought¡­ When she returned to the coffee shop, Shen You hurriedly ran to the kitchen. She had promised to make limited edition cakes for the coffee shop every morning and evening. She had already wasted a lot of time today because of Shen Po¡¯s matter. Although when she asked Xie Chen for time off, Xie Chen had told her not to rush¡­ However, she still felt that a part-time worker should behave like a part-time worker and be worthy of her salary! Shen You rushed into the kitchen from the front door and did not notice the customers in the coffee shop at all. The two people sitting by the window noticed Shen You the moment she appeared at the corner of the street. ¡°She really works here!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Shen You¡¯s disappearing figure and said lightly. ¡°Okay.¡± Zhao Nan slowly withdrew his gaze which once again fell on the book in his hand. Zhu Ge really didn¡¯t like Zhao Nan¡¯s calm appearance in everything. Was it really that nothing could disturb his mind? Zhu Ge slowly raised the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip. ¡°Yes! Delicious!¡± The waiter of the coffee shop, a chubby girl, was called over. ¡°Hello! How can I help you?¡± The girl¡¯s face was red. Her gaze swept past Zhu Ge and Zhao Nan, and her smile became even sweeter. ¡°We also want two limited edition cakes!¡± Zhu Ge looked at the girl with a smile. His voice sounded very gentle. The girl blushed even more. She nodded, ¡°Okay! Please wait a moment!¡± The girl ran away again, leaving Zhu Ge to raise his eyebrows at Zhao Nan. ¡°See, this is my charm!¡± Zhu Ge said and patted his chest. Zhao Nan was obviously not interested in Zhu Ge¡¯s ¡°charm¡±. He glanced at Zhu Ge, and his gaze returned to the book. Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something from the corner of his eyes. He raised his head again to confirm, and then lowered his head again. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s strange behavior. With their years of experience together¡­ Zhu Ge turned his head to look behind him. Sure enough, Xie Xiao came over with their cakes. She placed the cakes on the table and said, ¡°Please enjoy¡±. She then turned to leave. ¡°Hey! Where¡¯s the young girl just now?¡± Zhu Ge shouted with some dissatisfaction. ¡°No young girl here!¡± Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge with some disgust. ¡°Don¡¯t come to our shop to flirt with girls!¡± Xie Xiao said and left quickly. Zhu Ge was dissatisfied with Xie Xiao¡¯s questioning of his personality. He took a few steps forward and blocked Xie Xiao¡¯s way. ¡°Hey! I didn¡¯t provoke you right, did I?¡± Xie Xiao looked up at Zhu Ge. This guy was really extraordinarily tall! ¡°No! Can you please move aside?¡± Xie Xiao said and reached out to pull Zhu Ge away. Zhu Ge was nearly 190 cm tall, which Xie Xiao, who was just over 160 cm tall, could move him. Seeing that she had used a lot of strength and Zhu Ge still did not move at all¡­ Xie Xiao glared at him, turned around, and walked away. Zhu Ge took a strange look and walked back to his seat resentfully. He then asked Zhao Nan in puzzlement, ¡°Did I provoke her?¡± Zhao Nan did not even glance at Zhu Ge. ¡°It¡¯s probably because you look disgusting to her¡­¡± Chapter 27 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhu Ge was immediately doubting his charm. Fortunately, he had always been big hearted. After eating a few bites of the cake, he was instantly cured¡­ ¡°Shen You¡¯s skill is not ordinary!¡± Zhu Ge said as he finished his cake in a few bites and was about to reach for Zhao Nan¡¯s piece. ¡°When I heard that Shen You worked here, I thought she was a waitress or something!¡± Zhu Ge said as his hand reached for the cake. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Nan knocked his hand hard with a book. Zhu Ge pulled his hand back with a wronged expression. ¡°What are you doing!¡± Zhao Nan picked up the cake indifferently. ¡°It¡¯s not good to consume too much sugar!¡± Zhu Ge frowned and glared at Zhao Nan. ¡°You don¡¯t like sweet food, do you?¡± ¡°Eating less is good for your body and mind!¡± Zhao Nan said without changing his expression. Zhu Ge¡¯s temper was immediately gone. ¡°It¡¯s all your reasons anyway!¡± He muttered a few words with some dissatisfaction, then leaned forward again to look for that cute waitress. However, he had searched for a long time, and there was only Xie Xiao who was glaring at them fiercely. Zhu Ge sighed, got up, and walked in the direction of the bar counter. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xie Xiao seemed to have a stomach full of anger when he saw Zhu Ge. But in school, Xie Xiao could also be called the kind and amiable class monitor¡­ Zhu Ge just didn¡¯t like handing in his homework. Occasionally he would skip classes without taking leave, not participate in group activities, not participate in cleaning¡­ There wasn¡¯t any big problem with him! Wasn¡¯t this the usual routine of a little prince in school? Zhu Ge really didn¡¯t know how he had offended Xie Xiao. ¡°I want to buy two more limited edition cakes, can I? Class monitor¡­¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s compromise look made people feel a little dumbfounded. Xie Xiao answered politely, ¡°Limited edition cake is one only for each customer every day. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zhu Ge sighed. ¡°Can¡¯t there be a special case? On account of our good relationship¡­¡± Xie Xiao raised his chin and looked at Zhu Ge. ¡°Is our relationship good¡­?¡± Zhu Ge smiled and said, ¡°Look, since Shen You transferred to our class, haven¡¯t I been gentle, considerate and passionate to her?¡± ¡°You have ill intentions!¡± Xie Xiao pointed out bluntly. ¡°Heaven and Earth can bear witness! I wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Zhu Ge immediately swore his loyalty. Zhu Ge did not lie about this at all. Not to mention Shen You was currently in a heated relationship with the young master of Huo family, even with Zhao Nan¡¯s strange behavior, he did not dare to have any ill intentions on Shen You! However, speaking of Zhao Nan, it was also strange. In the past, when Shen You was pursuing him every day, he did not care and turned his back on her every day. Now, Shen You had changed her target, and Zhao Nan¡¯s gaze was instead going after Shen You every day. This was really¡­ a turn of events! Xie Xiao was about to say something when Shen You walked out of the kitchen. ¡°Sister Chen, the cakes for today are all done. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first¡­¡± As Shen You said this, she looked at Zhu Ge in surprise. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Shen you looked at Zhu Ge, and her expression instantly changed. She subconsciously looked around. Sure enough, she saw Zhao Nan by the window not far away. In the past, Shen You had never noticed Zhu Ge¡¯s existence. Her gaze had always been on Zhao Nan. Even though she might have met Zhu Ge a few times, she had never paid attention to his appearance. Only now did she really notice the people around Zhao Nan.. ¡°Idol! Look, I¡¯m here to support you!¡± Zhu Ge smiled and took credit. ¡°But, your friend doesn¡¯t welcome me!¡± Zhu Ge couldn¡¯t help but complain. Xie Xiao glanced at Zhu Ge. ¡°Only those who follow the rules will be welcomed!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Shen You aggrievedly. ¡°Idol, your cake is too delicious!¡± ¡°It¡¯s such a pity to limit it!¡± Zhu Ge said sincerely. Shen You patted Zhu Ge¡¯s shoulder. ¡°After all, rare ones are more popular, aren¡¯t they?¡± Zhu Ge shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s such a pity!¡± Shen You smiled and took off her apron. ¡°If you like it, you¡¯re welcome to come more often!¡± ¡°It would be even better if I could eat it in school,¡± Zhu Ge said meaningfully. Shen You glared at him. ¡°There¡¯s a chance, right? I¡¯m not free at the moment.¡± ¡°What are you busy with?¡± Zhu Ge immediately asked, ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± ¡°I want to participate in¡­¡± Shen You said and paused for a moment. Her gaze swept over Zhao Nan and did not continue. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s talk about it later,¡± Shen You said and smiled apologetically at Zhu Ge. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± ¡°Hey, idol¡­¡± Zhu Ge was about to tell Shen You to stay, but he was stopped by Xie Xiao. ¡°There¡¯s a private residence at the back. It¡¯s not convenient to visit!¡± Xie Xiao said bluntly. Zhu Ge¡¯s temper was gone instantly the moment he faced Xie Xiao¡­ Chapter 28 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You returned to her room and grabbed the competition participation notice given to her by Shen Po. In her previous life, she had tried all methods, but in the end, she could not participate in this national physics competition. ¡°This time¡­ I can finally do it!¡± Shen You held the notice with both hands and lay on the bed happily. The system suddenly appeared, ¡°You¡¯ve been lazy recently!¡± Shen You frowned, ¡°Obviously I¡¯ve been working hard!¡± ¡°I even got luck value from Shen Po today!¡± Shen You sat up excitedly. She had never thought that she could get luck value from the Shen family members that she hated. The first one was Shen Rong. The not-so-strong luck value made her feel a little gratified. Today, she truly felt a strong sense of luck value from Shen Po¡¯s body. Although she was very emotional at the time, she was still shocked by the sudden luck value. Shen You took out her bead and saw that she had almost injected one-third of her luck value into it. ¡°What do you think? Isn¡¯t it amazing?¡± Shen You pointed at the bead and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s nothing! You still have a long way to go before you can collect a full bead!¡± The system said indifferently. ¡°Moreover, all the lucky things you encounter will consume your luck value!¡± The system warned coldly. ¡°So¡­¡± as the system said that, a ¡°xiu¡± sound was heard. Shen You looked at the luck value in her bead and was surprised that she had instantly lost half of it. ¡°Why?¡± Shen You screamed in shock, ¡°How can there be such a thing?¡± The system sounded a little proud, ¡°If your luck value was high enough, you wouldn¡¯t have cared about losing this little bit!¡± ¡°Why do you think you can participate in the National League?¡± The system snorted. Shen You was angry, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because of Shen Po¡¯s conscience?¡± The system¡¯s faint voice sounded, ¡°Of course it¡¯s partly because of this¡­¡± ¡°But, how did he find out that you have this ability!¡± The system once again displayed its credit, ¡°Of course it¡¯s because I, the system let him see your ability!¡± The system told her about the day that it had intentionally left her report card at the door of Shen Po¡¯s room. Listening to the system¡¯s smug voice, Shen You tried her best to resist the urge to dig out the system and go berserk. ¡°Do I need you to do this?¡± Shen You cursed fiercely. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to participate in this competition?¡± The system immediately changed its tone. Shen You was stunned for a moment and said bitterly, ¡°Yes, I do¡­ but¡­¡± But she wasn¡¯t willing to use so many luck points! ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why are you still hesitating!¡± The system said matter-of-factly. ¡°Next time you use the luck value, can you give me a heads up in advance?¡± Shen you asked humbly. ¡°Sure! When you¡¯re about to die, I¡¯ll ask for your opinion. What do you think?¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded especially annoying. Shen You¡¯s expression instantly became a little numb. ¡°You have to tell me the rules of using luck value, right?¡± Shen you sighed helplessly. ¡°The system usually won¡¯t take the initiative to use luck value.¡± The system adjusted its voice and said, ¡°I¡¯ll only take action if you¡¯re hesitant or if you can¡¯t achieve it yourself!¡± Shen You suddenly felt that the system setting was too intelligent. It was not very good. However, she did not seem to be able to do anything about how to set the system¡¯s intelligence value. Shen You once again accepted her fate, ¡°Alright! I will work hard to accumulate luck value!¡± Since she could not control the consumption of luck value, she could only speed up her pace and accumulate more luck value. After all, this was the only way for her to save her life! As Shen You lamented her fate, she did not expect that someone would not sleep well because of her! The next day, when she arrived at school, Shen You looked at Huo Xiao beside her. The two huge dark circles under his eyes made his already pale face appear even paler. ¡°You¡­ did you become a thief yesterday?¡± Shen You looked at Huo Xiao with concern. Huo Xiao glared at Shen You but did not reply. Huo Xiao¡¯s vicious gaze made Shen You feel that the reason why Huo Xiao became so was all because of her. But¡­ she did not do anything! Shen You, who had an aggrieved look on her face, sat obediently in her seat and began to review the mistakes that she did not know about. ¡°Idol! Good morning! Did you sleep well yesterday?¡± Zhu Ge walked into the classroom, looking happy as usual! When he saw Huo Xiao¡¯s face, he immediately stopped. ¡°Yo! Young Master Huo, did you go stealing last night?¡± Huo Xiao shot a glare at Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge subconsciously took a step back and patted his own chest. ¡°If you¡¯re not, then you¡¯re not. Why are you so fierce?¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Huo Xiao did not say a word. He took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm. Ever since he saw Shen You being taken away by Shen Po yesterday¡­ And because he did not stop it¡­ Looking at Shen You¡¯s pitiful and sad look, he actually felt guilty for the entire night! This morning, when he saw Shen You walk into the classroom with a face full of joy, he was instantly enraged. These two ignorant fellows actually dared to provoke him at this time! Xie Xiao carried two lunch boxes into the classroom. ¡°Sister said you forgot to bring your lunch box when you came out! ¡®m bringing it for you¡­¡± As Xie Xiao spoke, he glanced at Huo Xiao who was beside Shen You. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you¡­ Yesterday¡­¡± Before Xie Xiao could finish his sentence, Zhu Ge and Shen You had already grabbed her by the arm and covered her mouth with their hands. Xie Xiao was tied up by the two of them, unable to move or speak. Huo Xiao took a deep breath again, not allowing himself to look at the three of them. Zhao Nan¡¯s cold gaze swept past the three people who were entangled together, and then he shifted his gaze away. ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s really bad manners! How dare you fight like this in the classroom!¡± Lu Man¡¯s voice came faintly. Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze swept across Zhao Nan¡¯s face before landing on Shen You again. She did not say anything, but her gaze became even colder. ¡°I think it¡¯s because seeing Zhao Nan doesn¡¯t like her and Huo Xiao doesn¡¯t want her to pursue him, she¡¯s now targeting at Zhu Ge!¡± Lu Man did not intend to shut up. ¡°If you ask me, this woman is really¡­¡± Before she could say the word ¡®cheap¡¯, she was glared back at by Shen Jiao. ¡°Watch your words and actions!¡± Shen Jiao stopped her coldly, ¡°Do you want to be the same person like her?¡± Shen Jiao¡¯s words were basically condemning Shen You. ¡°Aiya! How can I possibly be the same person like her!¡± Lu Man quickly smiled and leaned against Shen Jiao¡¯s side. She reached out and put her hand on Shen Jiao¡¯s shoulder, ¡°We are¡­¡± Lu Man wanted to say that they were best friends, but when she met Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze, she subconsciously withdrew her hand. At that moment, she felt that Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze was very terrifying. At that moment, she felt that she did not deserve the word ¡°best friend¡±! Lu Man took a few steps back resentfully and returned to her seat. Shen Jiao slowly sat up straight. Her straight back and slightly retracted chin made her look dignified and elegant. However, before she could withdraw her vicious gaze, Zhao Nan saw everything. Zhao Nan originally didn¡¯t have any special feelings towards Shen Jiao. To him, Shen Jiao was just like Shen You. It was just a marriage arranged by his family. However, he had a deep resistance towards Shen You in the past. He also disdained her relentless pursuit. Compared to Shen You, Zhao Nan had always thought that maybe Shen Jiao was the right person. However, ever since Shen You transferred to the elite class, everything had changed! Shen You was no longer the silly girl who go after him and begged him to look back at her. And Shen Jiao had also allowed him to see even more unbelievable aspects! Zhao Nan¡¯s lips pursed slightly. Something seemed to have changed in his heart¡­ Huo Xiao had always been an aloof and inviolable top student in school. Someone once said that his severe mysophobia was in line with the phrase, ¡°You can only watch from afar, but you can¡¯t touch him¡±. However, ever since Shen You changed classes, Huo Xiao¡¯s icy outer shell was slowly cracking. Shen You broke through his defenses time and time again, causing him to be unable to restrain himself from being attracted by Shen You¡¯s actions. Just like at this moment, he even felt that the three people in front of him were a little cute. The corner of his mouth that was slightly curled up was hidden behind the textbook. However, the smile that had already soaked through his eyes was still keenly noticed by Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge¡¯s eyes lit up, and he looked at Shen You again. He could not help but sigh for Zhao Nan in his heart. ¡°Looks like Zhao Nan has a love rival!¡± Shen You had no idea what the others were thinking. She was focused on preventing Xie Xiao from being blacklisted by Huo. Xie Xiao was controlled by the two of them. After struggling for a long time, she could only give up. Finally, the bell for class saved the three people. ¡°Shen You, I heard that you are going to participate in the physics competition?¡± After class, the class¡¯s physics representative came to Shen You¡¯s side. Shen You smiled at him. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°We have formed a study group. After school, you can stay back and study together.¡± The class¡¯s physics representative sincerely invited her. Shen You rejected him without thinking. ¡°Sorry, I still have to work.¡± The physics representative was stunned for a moment, but he did not continue to ask. He said, ¡°If you need help, you can look for me.¡± Shen You expressed her gratitude, the smile on her face looked very bright. Chapter 30 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Shen Jiao heard the conversation between the two, the test paper in her hand was crumpled into a ball by her. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Shen Jiao roared angrily in her heart, ¡°How is she qualified to register!¡± Shen Jiao had gone to great lengths to continuously suppress Shen You¡¯s self-confidence, and she had also slandered Shen You in front of the class teacher. Moreover, she had had Shen Jun to destroy Shen You¡¯s registration form. But, how could she still have the chance to apply! Shen Jiao only felt that her anger had already reached the top of her head. Lu Man and Jiang Yi had just returned from the classroom. When they saw Shen You and the physics representative talking and laughing, they couldn¡¯t help but feel a little strange. ¡°Why is the frankenstein on such good terms with Shen You?¡± Lu Man asked in puzzlement. A classmate beside her lowered his voice and said, ¡°I heard that Shen You is going to participate in the physics competition, too.¡± ¡°How is that possible!¡± Jiang Yi and Lu Man cried out at the same time. The two looked at Shen Jiao and asked, ¡°Is it the competition that you are going to participate in?¡± Shen Jiao¡¯s expression instantly became a few more degrees colder. Both of them were startled and immediately kept quiet. Shen Jiao slowly smoothed out the crumpled test paper in her hands. ¡°It¡¯s probably because the teacher saw that her ability was good and made an exception to let her participate!¡± Shen Jiao deliberately emphasized the word ¡°good¡±. Although no one had investigated Shen You¡¯s results in her previous class, it was not a secret. A person who ranked last three in every exam, did she really have the ability? Many people had begun to scoff at Shen You. Some people began to wonder what methods Shen You had used to successfully register. Whatever it was, it was definitely disgraceful! Shen You did not notice the reactions of the others as she continued to organize her revision materials. In school, other than constantly thinking of ways to obtain luck value from Huo Xiao, the most important thing for her was to prepare for the competition! Unlike others, she could not focus on preparing for the competition. She still needed to live. She needed to work! Shen You knew her situation very well. She needed to work harder! Seeing that Shen You was busy, Huo Xiao¡¯s eyes revealed some doubts. He hesitated for a moment before he finally opened his mouth. ¡°Yesterday¡­ the car that you got into¡­¡± Shen You did not expect Huo Xiao to talk to her. She turned her head to look at Huo Xiao in shock. ¡°You¡¯re talking to me?¡± Huo Xiao looked at Shen You awkwardly. ¡°Can¡¯t¡­ can¡¯t I?¡± As Huo Xiao said this, his face began to blush slightly. Shen You quickly waved her hands. ¡°No, no! It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine!¡± Seeing that Shen You was so excited, Huo Xiao paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Did anything happen to you yesterday?¡± ¡°Yesterday?¡± Shen You recalled for a moment and thought that Huo Xiao must have seen her get into Shen Po¡¯s car. Shen You grinned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that¡¯s my eldest brother!¡± Shen You spoke in a relaxed manner, unlike the rumors about the Shen family¡¯s secret. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re okay.¡± Huo Xiao nodded and did not intend to ask any more questions. ¡°He brought me the proof of participation yesterday,¡± Shen You said happily. She had yet to find a place to express her joy. Now that Huo Xiao was willing to talk to her, Shen You immediately found an outlet to vent. The smile on Shen You¡¯s face became even brighter. It even looked a little dazzling. If it wasn¡¯t for the mark on her forehead being too obvious, perhaps¡­ she was very beautiful! Huo Xiao was startled by his own thoughts. He coughed and turned around. ¡°Mm, then you work hard for it!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Shen You still smiled sweetly, looking very happy. Huo Xiao tried not to be affected by her smile, but he could not help but smile. Zhu Ge patted Shen You on the shoulder. ¡°Idol! You can do it!¡± Shen You was shocked by Zhu Ge. Huo Xiao¡¯s expression also changed instantly. The subtle atmosphere between the two seemed to have never happened before. Shen You didn¡¯t seem to feel anything strange either. She stood up and yelled at Zhu Ge angrily, ¡°Zhu Ge! If you dare to scare me again, don¡¯t think about eating my cake again!¡± ¡°Ah! Don¡¯t!¡± Zhu Ge immediately begged for mercy. ¡°Idol! You can¡¯t do this to me!¡± Zhu Ge looked like he was about to cry. From Afar, Zhao Nan¡¯s eyes flashed, and he looked slightly angry. ¡°Shen You.¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s voice came, and both Shen You and Zhu Ge were shocked. ¡°You¡­ called me?¡± Shen you pointed at her own nose in disbelief. What happened today? The sun rose from the west? How did these two icebergs notice her now? Chapter 31 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You looked at Zhao Nan in shock, wondering what had happened to him all of a sudden. If this was in the past, using the excuse of revision, Shen You would often look for Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan would always put on a sour face, as if Shen You owed him a few million dollars. Shen You would always pitifully follow him, not caring about his coldness toward her at all. Now, Shen You was looking at him with a distant gaze. Zhao Nan suddenly felt his heart tighten. ¡°What are you looking at!¡± Zhao Nan tried to use his cold and hard voice to cover his momentary absent-mindedness. Shen You did not understand. ¡°You were the one who called me!¡± Zhao Nan coughed and then reminded, ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass the elite class!¡± Shen You did not understand what Zhao Nan meant and looked at him blankly. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan and then Shen You. He explained helplessly, ¡°He wants you to do your best in the competition!¡± Hearing Zhu Ge¡¯s explanation, Shen You naturally didn¡¯t believe him. With Zhao Nan¡¯s usual style, he wouldn¡¯t meddle in her business. Moreover, Zhao Nan would also participate in the competition. With him around, would the elite class be embarrassed? Seeing Shen You¡¯s doubtful gaze, Zhu Ge quickly turned to ask Zhao nan, ¡°Am I right?¡± Zhao Nan continued to stare at the book in his hand and ignored them. The more Shen You thought about it, the more she felt that Zhao Nan was implying something. It was very strange. However, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Zhao Nan anymore. Since he was unwilling to talk about it, she did not ask further. ¡­ From that day onwards, Shen You began to make full use of her time in school to study. It was also from that day onwards, Shen You spent less time with Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao would occasionally see Shen You on the field or in the corridor. She always looked like she was desperately munching a book. After the past few days of Shen You¡¯s brazen pestering, Huo Xiao had already got used to it. During this time, without Shen You chattering by his side and her expectant gaze, Huo Xiao was not used to it. ¡°Hey! Watch out!¡± A scream came from the center of the field. Huo Xiao looked up and saw a football flying out of the field at an extremely fast speed. His gaze followed the football, and he realized that the target of the football was actually Shen You. Huo Xiao was shocked and quickly rushed forward. Just as he was only two steps away from Shen You, an arm reached out to Shen You and pulled her back. The football heavily hit the railing on the side of Shen You¡¯s head with a bang. Shen You was shocked and looked at the culprit who almost made her change her head. Two boys ran over from the middle of the field and looked at Shen You apologetically. They bowed repeatedly and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m really sorry!¡± Shen You came back to her senses and slowly squeezed out a smile. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay! It¡¯s me who was careless!¡± As she spoke, she felt a warm warmth coming from behind her, and her arm was still tightly held. She turned around to look at her savior who had just saved her life, only to find Zhao Nan staring at her from above. Shen You had never thought that Zhao Nan would actually save her. She was stunned for a moment before saying ¡°thank you¡±. Zhao Nan did not seem to care about Shen You¡¯s gratitude. He only said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re already ugly enough. If you get hurt again, you¡¯ll be even uglier!¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s words instantly made Shen you lose all her gratitude. She subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I have made you ugly!¡± Zhao Nan pursed his lips, let go of Shen You¡¯s arm, and turned to leave. He walked past Huo Xiao and pretended not to see him. Xie Xiao ran over from afar and asked while panting, ¡°Xiao You, are you okay?¡± Shen You smiled and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine! I was just frightened.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good! I was scared to death just now!¡± Xie Xiao sighed and said, ¡°Short legs really kill me!¡± ¡°However, I saw Huo Xiao running so fast just now, and I thought he would be the hero saving the damsel in distress!¡± As Xie Xiao said that, his gaze swept over Huo Xiao who had already turned to leave. ¡°He? How is that possible! He just happened to pass by!¡± Shen You shook her head in disbelief. ¡°That¡¯s true! That big clean freak of his, how could he risk his life for you!¡± Xie Xiao nodded in agreement. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine!¡± Xie Xiao said as she reached out her hand and knocked on Shen You¡¯s forehead. ¡°In the future, please stay away from dangerous areas when reading!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t teacher teach you not to read books while walking!¡± Xie Xiao warned solemnly. Shen You immediately begged for mercy. ¡°Teacher Xie is right! I will change right away!¡± The two laughed and walked back to the classroom with each other. Chapter 32 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio All day long, Shen You felt that there was something strange about Huo Xiao. She could not tell, but she felt that something was not right. Right until the end of school, Huo Xiao did not meet Shen You face to face. Just as the school bell rang, Huo Xiao stood up right away and left the classroom. Shen You seriously reflected if she had offended Huo Xiao. From afternoon onwards, she felt that the luck value on Huo Xiao had become thinner. Based on Shen You¡¯s current experience, whenever she did something that would cause the other party¡¯s emotions to fluctuate, the higher the fluctuation, the more abundant the luck value would be. However, there was also a possibility that the acquisition of luck value would be hindered. That was, she had made the other party very unhappy! However, after thinking about it, she had only been focusing on her studies these few days and did not have the time to bother him. He should be happy! Shen You was puzzled and therefore decided¡­ ¡°Forget it! Who ares!¡± Shen You did not want to be distracted. Right now, she had to make every second count! She jogged all the way back to the coffee shop with Xie Xiao. Shen You quickly finished making the limited edition cake for today and rushed back to study. Suddenly, she felt a wave of suffocation in her chest. Shen You felt that the feeling of almost exhausting her life came again. She called out to the system in fear. The system¡¯s voice sounded in Shen You¡¯s mind, ¡°You finally remembered that you still have me!¡± Shen You slowly exhaled, trying hard to adapt to the discomfort in her chest, ¡°Am I going to die soon?¡± The system replied with a negative answer, ¡°Not really!¡± ¡°Your luck value has been increasing, but the number is a little pathetic.¡± The system showed Shen You¡¯s bead again. Shen You looked at the bead that was filled with luck value, but the terrifying feeling of suffocation still bothered her. The system¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°These luck value came from your limited edition small cake.¡± ¡°However, it doesn¡¯t have much effect on your current HP consumption.¡± The system prompted. ¡°You need to obtain more luck value.¡± The system¡¯s words even sounded a little cruel, ¡°Otherwise, you will only die.¡± ¡°The current stifling feeling is just a warning to you.¡± The system said and sighed, ¡°I hope you remember your purpose of your reborn for another lifetime!¡± Shen You frowned and grabbed her chest, ¡°Could it be that I can¡¯t even do what I want to do after reborn?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The system said firmly. ¡°How now?¡± Shen you immediately asked anxiously. ¡°Save your life first!¡± The system said again, ¡°You can let people with high luck value follow you around and obtain luck at any time. Isn¡¯t that a good method?¡± Hearing the system¡¯s suggestion, Shen You hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°I understand!¡± After a night of painful reflection¡­ She decided to nod to fate. Shen You¡¯s plan was to find a guy with high luck value and form a study group with her. This way, she could obtain luck value at any time and not delay the time of studying. However, Huo Xiao, the treasure house of luck value, had always been a lone wolf. It would be difficult to form a pair with him. As for Zhao Nan¡­ Although his luck value was not low, that guy had a serious problem with subject preference and was really not suitable for studying together. Moreover, Shen You had always subconsciously wanted to avoid him. Perhaps she did not want to have any more connections with those who were related to Shen family. At least, in this life, she hoped that she and Zhao Nan could be safe and sound individually. After thinking about it, Shen You decided to join the study group organized by the representative of the physics class. Although the luck value of the members of the group was medium, it was better than nothing. She believed that more people would be more powerful and could help her you tide over the difficulties temporarily. ¡°Lu Chang, can I join your study group?¡± Shen You walked to the representative of the physics class and asked. Lu Chang looked up at Shen you and nodded. ¡°What about your work time?¡± Shen You made an ¡°okay¡± gesture and said, ¡°It has been arranged!¡± The moment Shen You decided to join the study group, she discussed it with Xie Chen. The two of them decided that Shen You would return to the coffee shop after school to get everything ready, while Xie Chen would be in charge of the follow-up work for the time being. After Shen You finished the competition, everything would return to normal. With Xie Chen¡¯s strong support, Shen You suddenly had more confidence in her journey to the competition. ¡°Good! Welcome to the group!¡± Lu Chang stood up and extended his right hand to Shen You. Shen You happily extended her hand and held his. She felt a warm temperature in her palm. Chapter 33 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Ever since Shen You left, the Shen family had fallen into a strange atmosphere. Although Li Ru still enjoyed life leisurely every day, when the whole family ate together, her eyes would still glance at Shen You¡¯s original seat from time to time. Everyone knew that even if Li Ru didn¡¯t say it, she still cared about Shen You moving out. Every time Shen Jiao saw this scene, she would secretly clench the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, wanting to vent her depression on the bowl and chopsticks. As for her eldest brother, who had always doted on Shen Jiao, for some reason, he had been avoiding her recently. Her younger brother, Shen Rong, on the other hand, was constantly talking about if Sister Shen You was doing fine outside. It seemed that everyone in the family was subtly affected by Shen You. Shen Jiao¡¯s heart was full of hatred, but she carefully hid it. ¡°Call Shen You back for dinner tomorrow,¡± Li Ru ordered, but she didn¡¯t know who she was talking to. Shen Po was focused on eating and didn¡¯t respond to his mother¡¯s order. Shen Jun naturally didn¡¯t care about such an order. He was so happy that Shen You wasn¡¯t home! Just as Shen Jiao was about to speak, Shen Rong interrupted, ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll talk to sister you later.¡± Li Ru responded with ¡°en¡± and did not continue. Shen Jiao secretly gritted her teeth, and the hatred in her heart grew. After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Shen Jiao came to Shen Rong¡¯s room door, knocked on the door, and walked in. Shen Rong was about to call Shen You, but when he saw that it was Shen Jiao, he quickly put the phone away. ¡°Sister, is there anything?¡± Shen Rong saw Shen Jiao walk in and asked. Shen Jiao walked to Shen Rong¡¯s bedside, looked at the family photo on the bedside table, and said, ¡°It¡¯s best that you don¡¯t disturb Shen You for the time being.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Shen Rong frowned, not understanding why Shen Jiao said that. ¡°Mom asked me to ask sister you to come home for dinner. How is that disturbing?¡± Shen Rong asked with some dissatisfaction. Shen Jiao smiled, looking very gentle. ¡°Isn¡¯t she preparing for the competition recently? She must be very busy!¡± ¡°Oh yes! How could I have forgotten about this!¡± Shen Rong slapped his forehead, then remembered that this was the most important thing for Shen You. ¡°Sister You has been looking forward to this for a long time¡­¡± Shen Rong said. He suddenly realized something and immediately stopped what he was about to say. Shen Jiao smiled and patted Shen Rong¡¯s shoulder, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister will not be calculative with your Sister You!¡± ¡°She also has the right to participate in the competition, right?¡± Shen Jiao said, looking very magnanimous. Shen Rong nodded and said, ¡°Two sisters are going to participate in the competition. I have to work hard, too!¡± ¡°Yes! You have to work hard, too!¡± Shen Jiao said and reminded Shen Rong again, ¡°If you disturb your Sister You, she might not be happy!¡± Shen Rong was completely convinced by Shen Jiao and decided not to disturb Shen You for the time being. Shen Bo returned to his room and turned on his computer to get ready for work. Shen Jiao stood at the door and knocked. ¡°Brother, Can I come in?¡± Shen Po frowned slightly and said softly, ¡°Come in.¡± Shen Jiao pushed the door open and walked into the room. She looked at Shen Po, who was preparing to work, and asked, ¡°Am I disturbing you?¡± Shen Po shook his head and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Hearing Shen Po¡¯s question which was somewhat indifferent, Shen Jiao suddenly felt hurt. ¡°I¡¯m just feeling depressed. I want to talk to Eldest Brother.¡± Shen Jiao looked very distressed. ¡°What has happened?¡± Shen Po asked with concern. ¡°I feel that mom hasn¡¯t been happy recently,¡± Shen Jiao said truthfully. ¡°Um¡­¡± Shen Po answered without any indication. ¡°I¡¯m wondering if mom misses Xiaoyou.¡± Shen Jiao¡¯s tone was somewhat self-reproachful. ¡°I¡¯m also responsible for Xiao You¡¯s departure.¡± Shen Po raised his eyebrows and did not respond to Shen You¡¯s words. ¡°Actually, I should be the one leaving,¡± Shen Jiao said, looking like she was about to cry. Shen Po looked at Shen Jiao¡¯s expression and felt his heart ache. He sighed, stood up, and walked to Shen Jiao¡¯s side. He gently comforted her, ¡°This is her own choice, it has nothing to do with others.¡± As Shen Po spoke, he put one hand on Shen Jiao¡¯s shoulder. Shen Jiao sobbed softly, her head leaning slightly against Shen Po¡¯s shoulder. Shen Po did not reject Shen Jiao¡¯s leaning, but his heart felt a little tense. Shen Po¡¯s feelings for Shen Jiao could be said to be complicated and messy. Initially, Shen Po felt that he was more inclined to dote on his sister. But when he found out that Shen Jiao was not his own sister, another emotion arose. And, as time passed, it became more and more intense! This feeling made Shen Po a little irritated. So, he had already tried his best to avoid being alone with Shen Jiao. He needed to clear up his feelings, and he also needed to let himself think calmly! Chapter 34 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Shen You settled the matters at the coffee shop, she hurriedly rushed to the place where the study group gathered. This was a small courtyard of Lu Chang¡¯s house. Since no one lived here, Lu Chang had taken this place as the gathering place for the study group. They would gather in the small courtyard after school every day to revise their school work and prepare for the competition. This small courtyard was located in a relatively remote location. For a person like Shen You who seldom went out, it was like an adventure. It took a while for her to reach the entrance of the small courtyard. Shen You pushed the door open and entered. She saw that Lu Chang and the others had already started studying. Shen You looked apologetic as she found a seat and sat down, fe. She was afraid that she would disturb the others. One night of study made Shen You feel that she had improved by leaps and bounds. ¡°Having companions to study together is indeed so effective!¡± Shen you couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in her heart. When she walked out of the small courtyard with her schoolbag on her back, it was already close to 9 pm. The other students were all picked up by the car sent by their families. Only Shen You was walking alone on the small road in the middle of the night. Lu Chang rolled down the car window and asked, ¡°Do you want me to send you back?¡± Shen You waved her hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay! I¡¯ll walk. It¡¯s not far!¡± Lu Chang did not insist. He rolled up the car window and instructed the driver to drive away. Shen You was humming a song as she was walking home. It had been a long time since she enjoyed such a leisurely and comfortable night. Shen You felt that she had returned to the carefree feeling she had in the countryside. When she reached the basketball court in the back street, Shen You stopped in her tracks. In front of her was the dark basketball court in the back street, and behind her was the colorful business circle. The bustling business circle during the day was still brightly lit at night, but it made people feel even more lonely. Shen You stood outside the basketball court and looked at the only light in the court. Compared to the business circle next door, this only light seemed to be able to shine into her heart and lead her into her direction. Shen You sighed slightly. ¡°The road is still long¡­ I still have to work hard!¡± Shen You secretly cheered for herself, hoping that her future life would be a little smoother. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± A cold and hard voice asked. Shen You was shocked. She didn¡¯t expect that there would be other people on the basketball court in the middle of the night. She took two steps back and focused her eyes on the guy who suddenly appeared. When she saw who it was, Shen You was even more surprised. ¡°Zhao Nan? Why you?¡± ¡°Why? Is it strange to see me?¡± Zhao Nan was a little dissatisfied with Shen You¡¯s tone, and his expression became even gloomier. Shen You hesitated for a moment and decided not to provoke Zhao Nan. After all, although Zhao Nan usually looked cold, if he really fought, he could kill with one punch! Because of this, Zhao Nan was able to stabilize his position as the school bully from the moment he entered the school. Even the thugs outside the school had to call Zhao Nan Bother Nan when they saw him. However, Brother Nan had always kept a low profile. His identity as the school bully had always been well hidden. If Shen You had not seen four or five hooligans beaten black and blue by Zhao Nan outside the school, she would not have known that Zhao Nan had such skills! Seeing that Shen You was staring at him without saying anything, Zhao Nan¡¯s expression became even uglier. ¡°What are you thinking of again?¡± Zhao Nan felt that it was very strange. Ever since Shen You transferred to his class, her entire person had become very strange. She had been pursuing him all day long, but now she was instead clinging onto Huo Xiao. Moreover, he could feel that Shen You was faintly hostile towards him! Thinking of this, Zhao Nan grabbed Shen You¡¯s arm. ¡°Speak!¡± Shen You was shocked by Zhao Nan, and her face became even paler. ¡°Please let go of me!¡± Shen You looked at Zhao Nan grabbing her arm and struggled. Zhao Nan did not have the intention to let go. ¡°Tell me, what are you thinking of!¡± Shen You struggled but to no avail. She could only roar angrily, ¡°I want to go home!¡± Zhao Nan was instantly stunned. Then, he sighed and let go of Shen You¡¯s arm. He tidied the school bag on his shoulder and turned around to walk in the direction of a small alley. Shen You watched Zhao Nan leave and felt a moment of relief. However, Zhao Nan was walking in the direction which was the direction of her way home. Shen You hesitated whether she should wait for Zhao Nan to walk further before returning home. Zhao Nan saw that Shen You was still stunned on the spot and said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s go! Aren¡¯t you going home?¡± Shen You looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s back in shock and her mind was filled with thoughts. She thought for a long time before asking, ¡°Isn¡¯t your home¡­ over there?¡± As Shen You spoke, she pointed in the direction of the main road. Zhao Nan seemed to be a little impatient and said, ¡°I just finished playing basketball. I¡¯ll go back after getting some fresh air!¡± Shen you replied ¡°oh¡± and obediently followed behind Zhao Nan. Hearing the light footsteps behind him, although Zhao Nan was still a little dissatisfied, he felt much more at ease in his heart. Chapter 35 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhao Nan stopped at the entrance of the coffee shop and said without looking back, ¡°Don¡¯t go home so late next time!¡± Zhao Nan left quickly without waiting for Shen You¡¯s reply. Shen You stood alone at the entrance of the coffee shop and asked herself with doubts, ¡°Is he worried about me?¡± Shen You returned to her room. Not long after, Xie Chen knocked on the door and came in. ¡°I¡¯ve left some sweet soup for you. Do you want some?¡± Shen You looked at Xie Chen gratefully. ¡°Sister Chen treats me the best!¡± She followed Xie Chen to the kitchen and took a big gulp of the sweet soup. ¡°I didn¡¯t eat all night. I really thought I was going to starve to death!¡± Xie Chen looked at Shen You with some doubt. ¡°Is it worth it to work so hard?¡± Shen You swallowed the sweet soup and nodded heavily, ¡°It is!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, the confusion on Xie Chen¡¯s face turned into relief. She smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s really inconvenient for you to study so far away.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you come to the shop to study?¡± Xie Chen invited kindly. ¡°As long as it¡¯s not too noisy, I believe the other customers won¡¯t mind!¡± Shen You blinked her eyes and looked at Xie Chen, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll discuss it with Lu Chang tomorrow. I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll be very happy too!¡± Shen You said sincerely. Actually, it was out of no choice that they had choosen Lu Chang¡¯s small courtyard. Ordinary cafes or bookstores didn¡¯t welcome study groups like theirs. Other places and noisy environments would also affect their study results. If they could really go to Xie Chen¡¯s coffee shop to study, it would be an excellent choice! Shen You told Lu Chang about it the moment she reached school early in the morning. ¡°Is it true?¡± Lu Chang was smiling. Shen You smiled and nodded. ¡°Sister Chen has already agreed.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t need to travel so far, so it¡¯s in fact good.¡± Lu Chang¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°Moreover, the coffee shop is very close to the school, and the environment is also good!¡± As Lu Chang spoke, he grabbed Shen You¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Shen You, you¡¯re so nice!¡± ¡°Then¡­ can we let Xie Xiao join us?¡± Shen you asked tentatively. Although Xie Xiao was the class monitor, her academic results were not outstanding. Therefore, she had never considered participating in any study group. Lu Chang did not hesitate and said, ¡°As long as they are willing to participate, they are naturally welcome!¡± ¡°Participate in what?¡± Zhu Ge, who walked in from outside the classroom, heard the conversation and immediately came over and asked. ¡°Study Group!¡± Shen You said, ¡°Anyway, you are not interested, so don¡¯t care so much!¡± ¡°Who says I¡¯m not interested!¡± Zhu Ge immediately protested. ¡°I have always longed for the opportunity to study hard!¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s eyes shone, looking very sincere. Shen You couldn¡¯t take it anymore and waved her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t disturb!¡± Zhu Ge looked hurt, ¡°Why! Why can¡¯t you believe me!¡± Shen You couldn¡¯t take it anymore and rolled her eyes, deciding not to give him a damn. ¡°Then it¡¯s decided. After school, we¡¯ll go to the coffee shop!¡± Shen You said, turning around and returning to her seat. Ever since she joined the study group, Shen You felt that every time she interacted more with those classmates, her luck value would increase a little. She would occasionally take out her beads to have a look. Now, her beads were almost as much as half full. In the afternoon during PE class, Shen You sat by the side of the sports field and stared blankly at the weeds on the ground. Xie Xiao came to her side. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°These weeds are so pitiful.¡± Shen You didn¡¯t move and only replied softly. ¡°Pitiful? Why?¡± Xie Xiao asked in puzzlement. ¡°If they grow here, they will eventually be cleared away,¡± Shen you said faintly. ¡°And then?¡± Xie Xiao did not understand what Shen You meant, but he still felt a deep sadness. ¡°If they grow in the countryside, they will definitely grow into strong and tall weeds!¡± Shen You said heavily. ¡°Eh?¡± Xie Xiao was even more confused. ¡°Then aren¡¯t they still weeds?¡± Hearing Xie Xiao¡¯s words, Shen You turned her head and stared at her for a long time before sighing. ¡°That¡¯s right. They are still weeds after all.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you saying such unfathomable words?¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen you, not knowing if she had been provoked by anything. Xie Xiao reached out his hand and touched Shen You¡¯s forehead. ¡°Are you feeling unwell somewhere?¡± Shen You subconsciously avoided her. Her expression even showed fear. ¡°You¡­ What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xie Xiao was even more confused. ¡°I¡­¡± Shen You smiled apologetically. ¡°The mark on my forehead will always be brought up by others, so¡­¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You feeling heartache. Chapter 36 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio During the period of the PE class, Xie Xiao accompanied Shen You to sit by the side of the playground and look at the weeds. Zhao Nan, Zhu Ge, and the others were the main players of the school basketball team. They were training most of the time during the PE class. The two of them finally finished their training and sat on the steps to rest. They found the two girls with their chins on their knees, staring at the weeds in a daze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with them?¡± Zhu Ge asked curiously as he looked at the two of them, who did not move at all. Zhao Nan glanced at them and retracted his gaze. He raised the bottle and took a sip of water before saying, ¡°They¡¯re crazy!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s expression which made him look like keeping people away, he could not help but sigh. ¡°Sometimes, I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking.¡± Zhao Nan ignored Zhu Ge¡¯s comments. When he put down the drinking cup, his gaze once again drifted to Shen You and the other. After class, Xie Xiao pulled Shen You up from the ground. Due to sitting for too long, their legs were numb. They supported each other as they slowly walked back to the classroom. The two of them couldn¡¯t help but laugh. When they were about to reach the classroom, Xie Xiao suddenly suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t you leave a fringe to cover up the mark?¡± Shen You shook her head and said plaintively, ¡°I¡¯ve tried. It can¡¯t be covered up.¡± Xie Xiao frowned and thought seriously for a moment. ¡°Then wear a hat!¡± ¡°Elite class¡¯s privilege!¡± Xie Xiao said and raised his eyebrows at Shen You. Only then did Shen You remember that elite class did not have a dress code. Perhaps, covering up the mark was her best choice at the moment! Shen You smiled and hugged Xie Xiao tightly, ¡°You¡¯re really too smart!¡± Xie Xiao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and struggled. ¡°Aiyo! Stop it! I am not easily bent by you!¡± Shen You smiled and hugged Xie Xiao even tighter, ¡°I won¡¯t let go!¡± The two girls laughed and laughed at the classroom door, and a figure streaked past them. For some unknown reason, Shen You felt a surge of luck value suddenly attacking her. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the luck value and saw that it was actually Zhao Nan. Shen You¡¯s mind was full of question marks. She did not understand why Zhao Nan would have emotional fluctuations. ¡°What did I do that have provoked him?¡± Shen You thought to herself. Returning to her seat, Shen You saw that a letter appear in front of her. She picked up the letter and looked at it, then let out an ¡°eh¡± sound. Huo Xiao, who was reading at his seat, turned his gaze slightly, then turned back. Shen You held the letter in her hand and read it carefully. She found it somewhat unbelievable. ¡°It¡¯s actually a love letter?¡± Shen You was secretly surprised. The content of the letter was very simple. It was just a few simple words, ¡°I like you very much. Can you go out with me?¡± There was neither title nor signature. This strange love letter made Shen You even more confused. At this moment, Lu Man walked over from behind. ¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t this a love letter?¡± Lu Man deliberately raised her voice and dragged out the last syllable. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect people would like an ugly girl!¡± Lu Man¡¯s words sounded particularly harsh and mean. Jiang Yi echoed from the side, ¡°I just saw little fatty from the foundation class come over and put something on Shen You¡¯s desk.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s a love letter!¡± Jiang Yi laughed. ¡°So little fatty likes your type!¡± Lu Man went crazy again, ¡°But fat boy and ugly girl are perfect for each other!¡± Shen You didn¡¯t care about the two people¡¯s malicious teasing. This was obviously a prank. It looked so low and ridiculous! Shen You folded the ¡°love letter¡± into several folds and put it under the textbook. ¡°How was it like? Were you especially excited to receive the love letter?¡± Lu Man walked in front of Shen You and her smile became even more exaggerated. Shen You ignored them and continued to organize her things. Shen Jiao coldly watched as Lu Man and Jiang Yi were mocking Shen You. Finally, under the continuous attacks of Lu Man and Jiang Yi, Shen You made a move. She took out the note again and stood up abruptly. Lu Man and Jiang Yi were shocked. They thought that Shen You was going to be rough with them. Unexpectedly, in the next moment, under everyone¡¯s gaze in astonishment, Shen You turned to face Huo Xiao and said, ¡°Please accept it!¡± Shen You¡¯s words made everyone present widen their eyes in shock. As the male lead of the incident, Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in shock. His face instantly turned red. Shen You smiled slightly, feeling satisfied that a steady stream of luck was rolling towards her¡­ Chapter 37 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You¡¯s action shocked the entire class. ¡°Shen You actually confessed to Huo Xiao in public?¡± The discussion went on. ¡°She¡¯s too bold!¡± The whispers continued. ¡°That¡¯s nothing. Wasn¡¯t she after Zhao Nan previously?¡± A girl who had some selfish motives towards Zhao Nan could not help but expose it. ¡°Then this¡­¡± another girl questioned, ¡°Isn¡¯t it not good to use a love letter given by someone else?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not signed, who knows who wrote it!¡± Another girl who looked cool said. Shen You did not care what the others said. Her mind was full of the thoughts, ¡°Bring on your luck! Bring on more! Don¡¯t stop!¡± Huo Xiao looked at Shen You¡¯s face back and forth. His face was getting redder and redder. It was unknown whether he was angry or scared¡­ Shen You stared at Huo Xiao, not planning to let him go. Since the situation had become such, she would go all the way. There was no reason to give up halfway! Huo Xiao stood up and looked down at Shen You. Just when Shen you thought Huo Xiao would say something shocking¡­ Huo Xiao suddenly turned around and left¡­ He left suddenly and was hit hard by the corner of the table. Shen You heard the muffled thud and could not help but let out a sound ¡°ah¡±. She thought that Huo Xiao would throw a tantrum at her and that this matter would be over. But Huo Xiao left without saying a word¡­ Just then, a person came behind Shen You and snatched the note from her hand. Shen You quickly turned her head and saw that Zhao Nan had already torn the note into two halves. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Shen You asked angrily. No one had expected Shen You to dare to speak to Zhao Nan in this manner. They all quieted down for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Zhao Nan narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen You. Shen You raised her chin slightly. ¡°In what aspect I should feel ashamed?¡± ¡°For who should I feel ashamed?¡± Shen You suddenly felt a little aggrieved and questioned sternly. Zhao Nan was momentarily at a loss for words. He left after saying, ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you.¡±. Shen You sat in her seat angrily, feeling full of grievances. She had already tried her best to avoid Zhao Nan. In her previous life, she had suffered a lot because of him. She had suffered a lot of grievances. She did not expect that he would still have the face to question her now! The more Shen You thought about it, the angrier she became. She leaned over the desk and sulked. Everyone in the class was excited. Who would have thought that the main character would leave one by one and the one who was left behind didn¡¯t give anyone a damn. The crowd went back to do their own things resentfully. Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze was slightly restrained. No one could tell what her expression was. Lu Man and Jiang Yi looked at Shen Jiao at the same time. Then, the two of them looked at each other and returned to their seats. They could naturally see Shen Jiao¡¯s feelings for Zhao Nan. Now that Zhao Nan was behaving this way, it was difficult for people not to doubt his relationship with Shen You. On the other hand, as Shen Jiao¡¯s best friend, what kind of existence Shen You was to Shen Jiao¡­ They knew it clearly in their hearts! Shen You leaned over at her desk, sulking alone. Xie Xiao walked over and gently patted Shen You on the back. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Shen You replied with ¡°en¡± and did not raise her head. Zhu Ge sat at the back and gestured exaggeratedly at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao frowned as he looked at Zhu Ge. She secretly cursed this person for not having a bright mind. Zhu Ge tried his best to make Xie Xiao understand what he meant. Finally, he realized that the two of them really could not ¡°communicate¡±! Zhu Ge stood up and came to Shen You¡¯s side. ¡°I think what you did was not a problem!¡± ¡°It was Zhao Nan who made a big fuss!¡± Zhu Ge clearly chose his team. Shen You said ¡°thank You¡± gloomily, still leaning over the desk. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be too sad. He can say whatever he wants to say,¡± Zhu Ge said indifferently. ¡°Yeah! Who is he? What right does he have to comment on you?¡± Xie Xiao echoed. Shen You slowly sat up and looked at Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge. ¡°I¡¯m fine now. Don¡¯t worry!¡± Shen You tugged the corner of her mouth, looking a little reluctant. It was naturally a lie to say that she was not sad. For Shen You, although she had decided to abandon everything in the past¡­ For the people she had cared about in the past, his words and actions would still hurt her! Xie Xiao knew that Shen You did not mean what she said, but she did not intend to talk further. For some reason, at this moment, Shen You suddenly felt that perhaps she had not really got rid of the influence of her past life. Shen You secretly made up her mind that since she could live another life, she would never be influenced by anyone or anything in her previous life! Chapter 38 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Huo Xiao returned to the classroom again, he found Shen You not at her seat. Huo Xiao really wanted to find someone to ask what was going on, but he suppressed the doubts in his heart. Zhu Ge seemed to have noticed Huo Xiao¡¯s doubts. He leaned forward behind Huo Xiao and said, ¡°Shen You asked for leave to go home!¡± Huo Xiao was stunned. He did not know whether to thank Zhu Ge or scold him for being a busybody. He replied with ¡°mm¡± and then ignored Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge did not care. After all, Huo Xiao being able to say ¡°mm¡± was already a great improvement! It was not until the afternoon school was over that Xie Xiao rushed out. ¡°Hey! Class monitor, wait for me!¡± Zhu Ge hurriedly called out. Xie Xiao stopped in her tracks. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Zhu Ge chuckled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go together! I miss my idol¡¯s limited edition cake!¡± Xie Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°Who wants to go with you!¡± ¡°If you have legs, go by yourself!¡± After saying that, Xie Xiao jogged away. Zhu Ge pouted helplessly and turned to Zhao Nan¡¯s direction to ask, ¡°Are we going? To the coffee shop?¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s expression was unprecedentedly cold. He got up and walked out of the classroom. Zhu Ge was stunned on the spot and blinked his eyes suddenly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ignoring Zhao Nan, Zhu Ge slowly packed his things. ¡°If no one is going with me, can¡¯t I go myself?¡± At this moment, Huo Xiao suddenly turned his head. ¡°What cake?¡± Zhu Ge was surprised by Huo Xiao¡¯s sudden question. ¡°Are you interested?¡± Huo Xiao did not say anything, but his expression became a little unnatural. Zhu Ge smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll take you there!¡± ¡°Let me tell you, my idol¡¯s cooking skills are really¡­ superb!¡± Zhu Ge said as he carried his backpack and came to Huo Xiao¡¯s side. Huo Xiao originally was only asking, but now he was struggling. ¡°Aiya! Let¡¯s go quickly! There¡¯s a limit to the number of cakes!¡± Zhu Ge urged. ¡°If we¡¯re late, there won¡¯t be any left!¡± Huo Xiao did not hesitate anymore after being urged by Zhu Ge. The two walked out of the school together and headed in the direction of the coffee shop. Shen Jiao, Jiang Yi, and Lu Man stood at the school gate, looking at the direction which Huo Xiao and Zhu Ge had left for. ¡°What coffee shop?¡± Lu Man asked, puzzled. ¡°It looks like Shen You is in the coffee shop?¡± Jiang Yi guessed, ¡°Making cakes there?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t¡­ we go and take a look, too?¡± Lu Man suggested carefully, but her eyes glanced at Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao snorted and turned to walk home. ¡°My driver is waiting. I¡¯m making a move first.¡± ¡°Ai¡­¡± Lu Man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Yi. Zhao Nan came to the basketball court in the back street and dunked the basketball hoop. Everyone else on the court was scared by his imposing manner. No one dared to take a step forward. Zhao Nan finally decided to let go of this pitiful court after dunking the basketball hoop. He picked up his backpack and walked out of the basketball court. No one dared to make a sound on the court, not even breathing heavily. The venue manager hid in the monitoring room and sighed helplessly. ¡°Who has offended this master again¡­¡± Everyone on the basketball court knew that Zhao Nan had a bad temper. He would vent his emotions on dunks and occasionally damage the facilities. He therefore generously upgraded the court to a new batch of facilities. Although the manager was quite satisfied with this solution, he was still afraid that this young man¡¯s bad temper would scare off others from coming back. However, although Zhao Nan had a bad temper, his basketball skills were really good. The crowd looked at him as he dunked the ball. Other than fear, they were more impressed by him. After doing this a few times, it attracted quite a lot of business to the basketball court. Zhao Nan was originally on his way home¡­ He suddenly looked up and realized that he had actually arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop. Zhao Nan stared at the signboard of the coffee shop and threw his backpack on his back. He turned around and walked in the other direction fiercely. Shen You, that fellow, didn¡¯t know what was good for her! Could it be that she really had her eyes on Huo Xiao? She didn¡¯t even care about her face because of that guy? The more Zhao Nan thought about it, the angrier he got, and his footsteps became more hurried. Huo Xiao followed Zhu Ge to the coffee shop. Since the last time Shen You caused him into the ICU, Huo Xiao¡¯s severe mysophobia had obviously improved. However, this did not mean that he would go to any public place. For him, anything he could come into contact with could possibly trigger his illness¡­ Huo Xiao stood at the door, hesitating. Zhu Ge pushed the door open, leaned against it, and turned to look at Huo Xiao. ¡°What? You¡¯re not coming in?¡± Chapter 39 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just as Huo Xiao was about to retreat, a strong aroma of coffee wafted out from the shop. Huo Xiao did not dislike the smell. In fact, the smell could even make him feel relaxed. He gritted his teeth and followed Zhu Ge into the coffee shop. Dr. Meng had once told Huo Xiao that although his condition had obviously improved, and he would not have any adverse reactions from easily coming into contact with anything¡­ However, this did not mean that he was absolutely safe. Any sudden situation could cause his condition to flare up. Especially in a crowded place, it was very easy to trigger his condition. Lin Shu was indeed already satisfied that Huo Xiao¡¯s condition had improved so much. Since young, the Huo family had tried every means to find a famous doctor for Huo Xiao. They had also tried psychological intervention, medication, physical desensitization, and all sorts of methods. However, Huo Xiao¡¯s condition was getting worse and worse. It was only when he met Dr. Meng that he managed to barely control the frequency of Huo Xiao¡¯s illness. Huo Xiao, who had almost never interacted with anyone since he was young, did not really enter school until he was in high school. Not to mention the crowded shopping malls, shops, and other places! Huo Xiao walked into the coffee shop and followed Zhu Ge to a corner. ¡°This shop is very clean. Sister Chen cleans and disinfects it every day!¡± Zhu Ge introduced with a smile. ¡°Do you come here often?¡± Huo Xiao looked around and found that other than a few sofa seats, there were only a few huge bookshelves in the coffee shop. The bookshelves were filled with books. This place looked more like a library. ¡°Are you¡­ okay?¡± Zhu Ge asked tentatively again. Huo Xiao nodded and sat down on the sofa. The sofas in the coffee shop were all made of leather. The pure white sofa seats made Huo Xiao feel much more comfortable. ¡°It looks like you¡¯re really so much better now¡­¡± Zhu Ge said with a chuckle. Ever since Huo Xiao returned to school from sick leave, Zhu Ge had noticed that Huo Xiao¡¯s severe mysophobia seemed to have improved. He no longer objected to anyone accidentally touching him. He did not particularly resist the act of passing the examination papers around among his classmates. However, Zhu Ge was not sure if Huo Xiao had really fully recovered. At the door, Huo Xiao¡¯s hesitation even caused Zhu Ge to feel regret for a moment. Huo Xiao smiled at Zhu Ge. ¡°It¡¯s my first time here, so I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Zhu Ge smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m familiar with this place! It definitely will satisfy you!¡± As Zhu Ge spoke, he went to the bar counter and ordered something. Not long after, Xie Xiao came to their table with a tray. ¡°Zhu Ge said that you were here, but I didn¡¯t believe him!¡± Xie Xiao said as he stared at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao twisted his body unnaturally and said, ¡°I want to get used to this kind of life.¡± Xie Xiao chuckled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The plates are new, and your utensils are freshly taken out and specially sterilized!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to force yourself. Just let me know if there¡¯s anything you need!¡± Xie Xiao smiled understandingly. Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao with some dissatisfaction. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I get this kind of treatment?¡± Xie Xiao raised her eyebrows. ¡°Birds of a feather flock together!¡± Zhu Ge shrunk back into the sofa in dissatisfaction and asked, ¡°When will the limited edition cake from my idol be ready? I¡¯ll go get it myself!¡± Xie Xiao turned around and looked in the direction of the kitchen. ¡°It might take a little longer today.¡± At this moment, Lu Chang and the others arrived at the coffee shop. Xie Xiao hurriedly walked over to greet them. ¡°You guys are here!¡± Lu Chang expressed his gratitude to Xie Xiao, and then specially went to the bar to thank Xie Chen. Xie Chen waved his hand with a smile on his face and pointed to a spot behind the green plants on the other side. ¡°The tables and chairs have been prepared for you. Let me know anytime if you need anything!¡± Lu Chang thanked her again and led the other team members to the study area that Xie Chen had set up. This row was separated from the sofa area where Huo Xiao and the others were sitting by two huge bookshelves. They could not see each other and would not easily affect each other. Shen You stared at the oven in the kitchen. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me today!¡± She patted her head in frustration. Xie Xiao walked into the kitchen and asked, ¡°How is it? Are you done?¡± Shen You looked at Xie Xiao apologetically. ¡°I still need to wait a little longer.¡± Xie Xiao smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay! Don¡¯t be anxious! Also, the flowers and pear fragrance that you made the last time were very popular. Did you make them today?¡± Shen You tapped Xie Xiao¡¯s nose and said, ¡°Is this a dog¡¯s nose? How did you know that I made these two today?¡± Xie Xiao chuckled and said, ¡°We have minds that are in sync!¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Are Lu Chang and the others already here?¡± Shen You glanced outside. ¡°They¡¯ve just arrived!¡± Xie Xiao nodded and suddenly thought of something. ¡°Something big! Huo Xiao is here, too!¡± ¡°What?¡± Shen You¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°How did he come here?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Xie Xiao shook his head and thought for a moment. ¡°He was probably dragged here by Zhu Ge!¡± Shen You did not believe this. Huo Xiao and Zhu Ge were not close enough to go to a coffee shop together, not to mention that Huo Xiao had mysophobia! ¡°Why don¡¯t you go out and take a look after you¡¯re done!¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s expression then became a little disdainful. ¡°Zhu Ge has been clamoring to meet his idol!¡± ¡°You and Zhu Ge¡­¡± Shen You asked the question in her heart, ¡°Something¡¯s not right?¡± Xie Xiao wrinkled her nose and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I feel uncomfortable just looking at him!¡± Shen You replied, ¡°Oh!¡± and did not say anything else. Shen You prepared the small cake and walked out of the kitchen with Xie Xiao. Zhu Ge¡¯s gaze swept across the kitchen from time to time. When he saw Shen You coming out, he rushed over. Huo Xiao also looked in the direction of the kitchen and saw that it was indeed Shen You and the others coming out. ¡°Idol, I¡¯m here to report for duty!¡± Zhu Ge stood up straight like a recruit waiting for his superior to inspect him. Shen You smiled and said, ¡°Welcome!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Shen You up and down. ¡°How are you? Are You in a better mood now?¡± Shen You smiled gratefully. ¡°Much better!¡± Zhu Ge patted his chest. ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy in the future, just let me know. I¡¯ll help you solve it!¡± Xie Xiao could not take it anymore and grunted, ¡°What the hell can you solve!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t solve hell, but I can solve people!¡± Zhu Ge said with a face full of sincerity. Xie Xiao felt irritated and was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao, who was sitting alone on the sofa. He looked a little pitiful. She walked up and greeted Huo Xiao, ¡°Young master Huo, what a surprise!¡± Huo Xiao was a little annoyed by Shen You acting as if nothing had happened. He glanced at Shen You and said, ¡°Zhu Ge dragged me here.¡± Shen You replied, ¡°Oh, then you have a seat, I still have things to do.¡± Shen You said and turned around to leave. Huo Xiao¡¯s mind was suddenly filled with anger. Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to cling onto me? What kind of attitude was this now? Huo Xiao¡¯s anger instantly caused Shen You to feel a strong surge of luck value. She stood rooted to the ground in surprise. When Huo Xiao saw that Shen You had stopped moving, he thought that she had noticed something, so he quickly averted his gaze. Shen You stood rooted to the ground, feeling the abundant luck value. Soon, the system appeared in her mind. ¡°After your hard work over this period of time, you have completed the task of injecting a bead.¡± ¡°Next, you can choose to exchange for the following benefits¡­¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded very cheerful. ¡°First, beauty like a flower; second, intelligence beyond human; third, a heartthrob!¡± The more the system spoke, the more excited it became. Shen You frowned and thought for a while. ¡°What I need most at the moment is intelligence beyond human! I must win the competition!¡± ¡°What beauty and charm? They are just skin and bones!¡± Shen You said firmly. ¡°Expert!¡± The system sounded very impressed. ¡°I will exchange for your intelligence soon!¡± The system let out a ¡®ding¡¯ and added, ¡°Due to your lack of luck value, your intelligence will be valid for three days.¡± ¡°What?¡± Shen You shouted angrily in her heart. ¡°I don¡¯t want this anymore!¡± Shen you yelled at the system in dissatisfaction. ¡°Goods sold are not for return or exchangeable!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded like it was business. ¡°You¡¯re buying and selling by force!¡± Shen You shouted in dissatisfaction. ¡°People have to pay for their own choices!¡± The system said earnestly. ¡°As you¡¯ve already accumulated one bead of luck value, your life can be extended by one year.¡± The system once again sent out a warm notification. ¡°Only one year? What¡¯s the use!¡± Shen You shouted unhappily. ¡°The first bead is just the basic model.¡± The system explained again, ¡°The more beads you accumulate, the higher the level, the longer your life can be extended!¡± ¡°Good luck, dear!¡± The system¡¯s voice gradually faded away. Shen You silently let out a long breath, ¡°Alright! It¡¯s better than nothing.¡± Huo Xiao was about to step forward to see what had happened to Shen You. He wanted to know why she was standing there, beating her chest and stomping her feet, and then getting excited. Shen You came back to her senses and was about to walk towards Lu Chang¡¯s study group. ¡°Sis!¡± Shen Rong pushed open the coffee shop door. ¡°I know you¡¯re here!¡± Shen You looked at Shen Rong. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Mom wants you to go home for dinner!¡± Shen Rong said. Shen You was about to reject¡­ ¡°And¡­ talk about your marriage!¡± Shen Rong added. Chapter 41 - Is the Fianc茅 Handsome? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Rong¡¯s words were like throwing a huge stone on the surface of a lake that was originally not so peaceful to begin with. For a moment, the coffee shop was in an uproar. ¡°Idol? You want to get married? With whom?¡± Zhu Ge was the first to rush over and asked anxiously. Xie Xiao also ran over curiously. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I hear you mention about it? Is your future husband handsome?¡± Huo Xiao stood far away and did not join in. His gaze was just fixed on Shen You¡¯s face. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and grinned awkwardly. ¡°Don¡¯t joke around!¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You¡¯s expression and then looked at Shen Rong. ¡°It looks like your sister is not very willing!¡± ¡°Your fianc¨¦ is definitely not handsome!¡± Xie Xiao said firmly. Shen Rong immediately protested, ¡°Who said that! Zhao¡­¡± Shen You saw that the situation was not right, so she quickly rushed forward and covered Shen Rong¡¯s mouth. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll go home with you for dinner!¡± After saying that, she pulled Shen Rong and walked out. Zhu Ge stretched out his hand behind them wanting to stop her, but he saw that Shen You and her brother had already quickly turned at the corner of the street. ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡± Zhu Ge slowly retracted his hand and looked at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao was also baffled. She muttered, ¡°Could it be that Shen You¡¯s fianc¨¦ is not suppose to see anyone?¡± Huo Xiao stood where he was and watched the crowd discuss with an unfathomable expression on his face. Shen You pulled Shen Rong all the way to the station before letting go of his hand. ¡°Tell me, why do you want me to go back?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true! Mom said to let you go back for dinner!¡± Shen Rong said seriously, his expression was extremely sincere. Shen You turned her head slightly and looked at Shen Rong from sideway. ¡°Really? Why did she suddenly think of me?¡± Shen Rong had a smile on his face as he asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to go home?¡± Shen You looked at Shen Yu and asked with a serious expression, ¡°Is it good?¡± Shen Yu was stunned by Shen You¡¯s question. At this moment, the bus arrived. Shen Rong held Shen You¡¯s hand and jumped onto it without giving her a chance to go back on her words. Shen You didn¡¯t intend to run away, but to her, going home was really not good! When Shen You returned to the Shen family, she didn¡¯t go back to her room. Instead, she sat in the living room and waited quietly like a guest. When Li Ru heard that Shen You had come back, she walked into the living room then only she realized that Shen You was looking so unfamiliar and distant. When she saw Li Ru, Shen You immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully and politely, ¡°Mother!¡± Hearing the greeting, Li Ru¡¯s heart trembled slightly. When Shen You faced Li Ru, she looked more like she was facing a stranger than her own biological mother. Li Ru looked at Shen You and said with a slightly distressed look on her face, ¡°You¡¯ve lost weight.¡± Shen You raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Li Ru to say such a thing. Shen You smiled and said, ¡°I look better when I¡¯m thinner. I have never been fat since young.¡± Hearing Shen You mention ¡®since young¡¯, Li Ru somehow felt a little awkward. ¡°Go back to your room and rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.¡± Li Ru felt a little awkward facing Shen You. Shen you nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll just sit here for a while.¡± Li Ru didn¡¯t say anything else. Instead, she quietly sat down on the other side of Shen You. When Shen Jiao came back from outside, she saw Li Ru sitting on the sofa. Just as she was about to greet her, she saw Shen You sitting on the other side of the sofa. She frowned deeply, and her face suddenly turned gloomy. When Li Ru sensed that someone had come in and turned her head, she saw Shen Jiao. ¡°Ah Jiao, you¡¯re back,¡± Li Ru said and reached out her hand to Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao¡¯s face was immediately filled with a smile, and she quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Li Ru¡¯s arms. Shen Jiao leaned on Li Ru¡¯s shoulder, and her gaze swept over Shen You. Shen You pretended not to see anything. Shen Rong changed his clothes and walked out. He saw Shen Jiao leaning on Li Ru. He frowned and called out to Shen You from afar, ¡°Sister You, I have something to show you!¡± ¡°Come with me,¡± Shen Rong said and waved at Shen You. Shen You naturally knew that Shen Yu was doing this just to save her from embarrassment. However, in Shen You¡¯s heart, she really did not take this matter seriously. She stood up and did not look at the mother and daughter. Instead, she walked straight towards Shen Rong. ¡°Mom, we go back to the room first!¡± Shen Rong said and pulled Shen You away. Chapter 42 - Higher Chance of Winning Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio She walked all the way to Shen Rong¡¯s room. Shen You entered the room and looked at the decorations in the room. This was the first time Shen You entered Shen Rong¡¯s room. In the past, in the Shen family, Shen You was like a guest. She would be watched wherever she went. In other words, she was worse than a familiar guest. Shen Rong pulled out a chair and said to Shen You, ¡°Sister, take a seat!¡± Shen You smiled slightly and sat down on the chair. ¡°Sister, how¡¯s your preparation for the competition?¡± Shen Rong asked curiously. Shen You raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Why are you curious about this?¡± ¡°Sister Jiao is also going to participate in the competition,¡± Shen Qian said and paused. ¡°I still think you have a better chance of winning!¡± Hearing Shen Rong¡¯s words, the smile on Shen You¡¯s face deepened. ¡°You trust me so much?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Shen Rong raised his chin slightly and said, ¡°I know you¡¯re very good!¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why your previous results were so bad¡­¡± Shen Rong pursed his lips tightly, as if he was thinking about something. ¡°Do you remember that previously when I came to your room to ask you questions, you always answered me very quickly?¡± Shen Rong looked at Shen You and asked. ¡°Yes, you always said it was a very difficult question¡­¡± Shen You smiled and said indifferently, ¡°It was obviously a brainteaser!¡± ¡°Please! Those are all national competition questions!¡± Shen Rong snorted in dissatisfaction. ¡°Actually, before I showed you the questions, I went to see Sister Jiao first,¡± Shen Rong said after a moment of silence. ¡°I just don¡¯t know if she didn¡¯t want to answer me, or if she really didn¡¯t know¡­¡± Shen Rong paused for a moment. ¡°Every time, she would look at the questions for a long time and then tell me that she couldn¡¯t solve them.¡± This surprised Shen You. Shen Jiao had always been famous in her grade for being smart, beautiful, and good at her grades. This time, she was recommended to participate in the national competition because of her good reputation. But, what if she didn¡¯t have the ability? Shen You didn¡¯t want to make any more guesses. After all, such things would be answered very soon! In Shen Rong¡¯s room, the two studied a few more complicated competition questions. Although Shen Rong¡¯s foundation was better than Shen You¡¯s, his thinking and flexibility were obviously not as good as hers. This also made Shen Rong admire Shen You even more. The two studied the questions and suddenly forgot about the time. It was not until Shen Jiao appeared at the door that the two suddenly realized that it was time to eat. Shen Jiao stared at the two in a daze, her lips tightly pursed. ¡°Xiao Rong, Mom asked me to call you both.¡± Shen Jiao crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against the door frame as she said. Shen Rong immediately stood up, held Shen You¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Sister You, we¡¯ll study these questions after dinner.¡± The two walked to the door and walked past Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao stood where she was and did not move. Shen Rong looked back in confusion. ¡°Sister Jiao, why aren¡¯t you moving?¡± Shen Jiao looked at Shen Yand asked, ¡°Do you know why we called you back today?¡± Shen You nodded and did not say anything. ¡°Since you knew it¡­¡± Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes and said, ¡°You have accepted it?¡± Hearing this, Shen You curled her lips slightly. ¡°What? I can¡¯t accept it?¡± ¡°Or¡­¡± Shen You took two steps in Shen Jiao¡¯s direction and said slowly, ¡°You don¡¯t want me to accept it?¡± Shen Jiao¡¯s expression froze and her face turned even gloomier. ¡°It¡¯s your business, what does it have to do with me!¡± Shen You¡¯s smile deepened. She turned around and walked towards the living room while holding Shen Rong¡¯s arm. She took a few steps and stopped. Without turning around, she said, ¡°Whether I want to get engaged to Zhao Nan or not, it¡¯s up to me.¡± ¡°And you¡­ can only wait for my decision!¡± After Shen You said that, she ignored Shen Jiao¡¯s reaction and left with Shen Rong. Shen Yu did not know why he suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart. She shook her head and quickly followed Shen Rong to the dining room. When the two entered the dining room, they found that Li Ru had already taken the main seat. As her father, Shen Hao, was not at home for a long time, Li Ru was in charge of all the major and minor matters in the family. Li Ru saw Shen You and Shen Rong walking over but she did not see Shen Jiao. ¡°Where¡¯s Jiao?¡± Shen You did not answer. She walked to her own seat and sat down. ¡°She¡¯s at the back.¡± After Shen Rong said that, he also sat down in his own seat. A moment later, Shen Jiao appeared in the dining room. Her face looked a little pale. Seeing this, Li Ru quickly walked forward and held Shen Jiao¡¯s hand. She asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡± Shen Jiao shook her head as if she was suppressing something. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well. I want to go back to my room to rest first.¡± ¡°Okay! Go back and rest!¡± Li Ru said worriedly. ¡°Do you need to see a doctor?¡± Shen Jiao shook her head again. She looked very pitiful. ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you back to your room,¡± Li Ru said as she helped Shen Jiao back to her room. Chapter 43 - The True Daughter of the Family! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You and Shen Rong sat in the dining room and looked at each other. Not long after, Shen Po and Shen Jun also came back. When the two of them saw the two people sitting in the dining room, they couldn¡¯t help but feel a little strange. Shen Jun glared fiercely at Shen You and then asked Shen Rong, ¡°Where are Mom and Ah Jiao?¡± ¡°Sister Jiao said that she wasn¡¯t feeling well, so Mom accompanied her back to her room,¡± Shen Rong answered truthfully. Shen Po frowned when he heard this, but he didn¡¯t say anything. He looked at Shen You and asked, ¡°How are your preparations going?¡± Shen You was still a little afraid of Shen Po. She answered honestly, ¡°I¡¯ve been working hard to prepare, so it should be alright.¡± ¡°Alright?¡± Shen Jun snorted, his tone full of disdain. ¡°Her?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to look at her! I¡¯ll go and see Ah Jiao!¡± As Shen Jun spoke, he stood up and left the dining room. Seeing that Shen Jun had left, Shen Rong pointed with his nose and said to Shen Po, ¡°Sister You is very powerful!¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± Shen Po looked at Shen Rong with an expression full of scrutiny. Shen Rong shrunk his neck and said, ¡°I asked her to help me solve a few questions just now. Her train of thought is very good!¡± Shen Po turned to look at Shen You. Shen You did not dare to show her pride in front of Shen Po. She could only lower her head quietly. ¡°Go to my room later! I want to test you.¡± Shen Po¡¯s tone did not allow Shen You to refuse. Shen You looked at Shen Po with a wronged expression and then Shen Rong with a mournful expression. Shen Rong wanted to say something to save her, but he was also afraid of his eldest brother! Just as Shen Rong was hesitating on how to save sister you without putting himself in a difficult situation, Shen Po¡¯s voice sent him straight to hell. ¡°You come over later, too.¡± Shen Po stared at Shen Rong with bright eyes. Shen Rong opened his mouth and wanted to ask for help, but there was nothing he could do now¡­ The three of them waited for a long time, but Li Ru still didn¡¯t come down. Shen Po called the maid and ordered the dishes to be served, while he walked to Shen Jiao¡¯s room. Not long after, Li Ru, Shen Po, and Shen Jun appeared in the dining room again. Li Ru looked at Shen You apologetically. ¡°Xiao You, sorry to have kept you waiting. Ah Jiao was really¡­¡± As Li Ru spoke, she subconsciously paused. A smile appeared on the corner of Shen You¡¯s lips. It could not be said whether it was a smile of tolerance or bitterness. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Shen You¡¯s understanding made Li Ru feel a little guilty. She sat back at the main seat and saw that the dishes had been served. She said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Shen You nodded and sat quietly at her seat. She ate quietly. After a meal, Shen You was extremely missing the days when she ate at the Xie family home. She thought to herself with some resentment that she would never return to this family for dinner again! Li Ru gently wiped the corners of her mouth and signaled the servants to serve the after meal desserts. At this time, Li Ru started talking about the important matter of calling Shen You back. ¡°Xiao You, I heard that you and Zhao Nan are classmates now?¡± Li Ru said, her gaze fixed on Shen You¡¯s face. When Shen You heard Zhao Nan¡¯s name, she froze. She turned to look at Li Ru and nodded. ¡°Yes! But I¡¯m not familiar with him!¡± Li Ru nodded slightly, then said, ¡°Do you know that the Shen family and the Zhao family are engaged?¡± Shen You frowned and wanted to say that she did not know, but this lie could not stop anything. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of it¡­¡± Shen You answered honestly. However, what she did not say was that she had not only heard of it, but had also been engaged to Zhao Nan! At that time, she had treated Zhao Nan as the only person she could rely on in her life! Now that she thought about it, it was really laughable! Li Ru did not notice the change in Shen You¡¯s mood. She only said, ¡°I want the two of you to finalize this marriage as soon as possible.¡± Shen You turned to look at Li Ru and asked seriously, ¡°If I didn¡¯t come back, how should this marriage be decided?¡± Being asked in this manner, Li Ru was a little hesitant. It was not that she had not thought about this question. The two families had always believed that Zhao Nan and Shen Jiao were the real couple for more than 10 years. If Shen You didn¡¯t come back, then Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan would definitely be the ones who would be engaged! But¡­ the current situation¡­ Shen You looked at Li Ru¡¯s struggling expression and suddenly felt a sense of hope. She continued to try her best to persuade, ¡°Shen Jiao is also the daughter of the Shen family. I think she should be the one who should be engaged!¡± When Shen Jun heard this, he immediately raised both his hands to reject, ¡°No!¡± Shen Po also immediately said, ¡°No!¡± After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other. Shen Jun naturally did not dare to say out the reason for his rejection and immediately shut up. Shen Po¡¯s gaze swept over Shen You and then he looked at Li Ru, ¡°It should be engaged by Shen You! She is the true daughter of the Shen family!¡± Shen Po¡¯s words caused everyone present to fall silent. Shen Jiao was standing by the corridor.. When she heard these words, her hands were tightly clasped together. Chapter 44 - Youre Getting Married? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You had her meal in fear. Due to Shen Po¡¯s words, the marriage that Shen You thought she could push away was now falling back on her head again. After Shen Po¡¯s reminder, no one at the scene mentioned anything about Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao stood silently at the corridor, watching the family quietly eating dessert, looking very harmonious. However, after this meal, Shen You¡¯s marriage was not decided yet. After all, this was a matter between both parties. After asking Shen You¡¯s opinion, Zhao Nan had to be asked on his thought, too. However, Shen You was certain that Zhao Nan would not agree to this marriage, so she did not take it to heart. . When she returned to the coffee shop that night, when Shen You had just reached her room, the door was suddenly pushed open with a gap. Xie Xiao stuck her head out and looked at Shen You, ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Shen You walked to the door, pulled it open, and said to Xie Xiao, ¡°You¡¯re not asleep yet?¡± ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you!¡± Xie Xiao walked into Shen You¡¯s room and naturally sat on the sofa chair beside her bed. Shen You smiled and said, ¡°What do you want to ask? Just ask!¡± Xie Xiao squeezed in the sofa chair tightly, crossed her arms around her legs, and asked, ¡°You¡¯re getting married?¡± Shen You pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s not a marriage! It¡¯s only an engagement.¡± ¡°Only?¡± Xie Xiao jumped up from the sofa chair. ¡°Having an engagement is a big deal!¡± Then, she sat back down dejectedly. ¡°The two of us are no longer good friends!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t even tell me about this kind of thing!¡± Xie Xiao said as he rubbed his nose in grievance. Shen you smiled bitterly. ¡°It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t want to tell you. It¡¯s that there¡¯s no need!¡± ¡°I¡¯m definitely going to cancel this marriage!¡± Shen You said solemnly. ¡°Cancel? Why?¡± Xie Xiao became even more curious. ¡°Is your future husband not handsome enough?¡± Shen You frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t say that he¡¯s handsome. He should be very handsome!¡± ¡°Then what are you not satisfied with?¡± Xie Xiao glared at Shen You, as if she was accusing her of wasting some precious things. Shen You shook her head. ¡°You don¡¯t understand! It¡¯s¡­ impossible between him and me!¡± ¡°He killed your entire family?¡± Xie Xiao blurted out without thinking. Then, she stuck out her tongue. ¡°I¡¯m just saying¡­¡± Shen You¡¯s gaze changed slightly. Then, she shook her head and did not say anything. Perhaps, in her previous life, the marriage with Zhao Nan was her only hope. However, in this life, it had become a disaster that she could not avoid. Xie Xiao saw that Shen You seemed to be full of worries, she therefore asked, ¡°Are you¡­ really okay?¡± ¡°If there¡¯s anything, don¡¯t take it to heart. If you tell me, maybe I can help you solve it?¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and said sincerely. Shen You smiled slightly. She walked forward and hugged Xie Xiao, then said, ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Xie Xiao replied with a big smile, ¡°If you have any troubles in the future, come and look for me.¡± ¡°Who asked us to be good sisters!¡± Xie Xiao said as her smile deepened. Shen You replied with an ¡°en¡± and hugged Xie Xiao tightly. In her previous life, she had always been alone. She did not have any friends or relatives by her side. It was only at this moment that she truly felt the warmth of her friends. It was a kind of caring feeling that was enough for her to rely on her friends without worry. After Xie Xiao left, Shen You lay on the bed alone. The system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Shen You¡¯s mind, ¡°Early Warning! Early Warning!¡± Shen you opened her eyes abruptly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Your luck value is seriously lacking!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded a little anxious, ¡°If you can¡¯t obtain enough luck value within three days, an accident will happen!¡± ¡°What? How can this be?¡± Shen You suddenly sat up from the bed. ¡°This setting doesn¡¯t make sense!¡± Shen You said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯ve already stored up so many luck value!¡± ¡°The luck value is currently flowing back, the reason is unknown!¡± The system warned again. ¡°Your system is a bug!¡± Shen You couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°Why is there still a situation where the luck value is flowing back!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve never encountered such a situation before¡­¡± The system immediately pushed the problem back. Shen You was even more vexed, ¡°Then what do we do now?¡± ¡°This side is suggesting that you find more luck value resources!¡± The system¡¯s annoying voice sounded again. Shen You secretly took a deep breath and told herself, ¡°Out of touch, out of mind. I¡¯m not angry!¡± Chapter 45 - Whats Wrong with You? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After the system¡¯s reminder, Shen You realized that no matter what she wanted to do, she had to first save her life. Currently, the most reliable luck value storage device beside her was probably Huo Xiao. However, she had been busy with the competition these few days and did not have the time to flirt with Huo Xiao. Shen You leaned against the headboard and secretly calculated how she could rope Huo Xiao in and successfully participate in the competition. After thinking about it, Shen You decided to drag Huo Xiao into the water! The next morning, Shen You arrived at the classroom, wanting to show Huo Xiao justice. However, until the end of the first class, Huo Xiao did not appear. Shen You also did not have Huo Xiao¡¯s contact information, so it was even more difficult to find him. Seeing that Shen You was at a loss, Zhu Ge could not help but tease, ¡°Idol, was the engagement not done yesterday?¡± . Hearing Zhu Ge¡¯s question, Shen You subconsciously looked in Zhao Nan¡¯s direction. Zhao Nan didn¡¯t seem to hear the conversation between the two and continued to pack his things. Meanwhile, Shen Jiao looked at Shen You with a slightly cold gaze. It was as if Shen You had stolen her husband! ¡°Who told you that I was engaged when I went back?¡± Shen You asked in a dissatisfied tone. Zhu Ge replied matter-of-factly, ¡°It was your brother who said it! Go back and discuss your engagement!¡± ¡°Discuss means it might or might not succeed!¡± Shen You explained patiently to Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge did not expect such an outcome and could not help but be stunned. Meanwhile, Zhao Nan, who had been expressionless the whole time, turned his head slightly and looked at Shen You. Shen You ignored Zhao Nan¡¯s scrutinizing gaze and continued to read her revision materials. It was almost noon when Huo Xiao finally appeared. When Shen You saw Huo Xiao, she was very excited. ¡°Huo Xiao, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Huo Xiao did not pay attention to Shen You. Instead, he sat down in his seat and simply packed his things. Shen you looked at Huo Xiao¡¯s appearance and pursed her lips before asking, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today?¡± Huo Xiao still looked like he didn¡¯t care about Shen You at all. Shen You sighed and wanted to give up. But in the next moment, the system¡¯s warning sounded again. No! She had to live! Shen You gritted her teeth and said, ¡°When you went to the coffee shop yesterday, I didn¡¯t have time to let you taste the snacks I personally made.¡± ¡°I specially brought two for you today,¡± Shen You said as she took out a small box from the drawer. She opened the box gently and there were two delicate cupcakes inside. Zhu Ge, who was leaning and resting on his desk, suddenly opened his eyes. It was unknown if he had heard something or smelled something. ¡°Idol! You¡¯re biased!¡± Zhu Ge shouted as he leaned out to grab the cupcakes. Shen You moved the small box away to prevent Zhu Ge from getting his way. Zhu Ge stood up unhappily and put his hands on his waist. ¡°Why did you specially bring cakes for Huo Xiao?¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s voice was neither loud nor soft. Coincidentally, everyone in the class could hear him. Shen You secretly gritted her teeth and tried her best to control herself. ¡°I like it! Mind your own business!¡± Shen You snorted at Zhu Ge and pushed the cakes to in front of Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao¡¯s fair and delicate face flushed again. Only then did Shen You realize that she seemed to have said something ambiguous just now. However, she also felt a warm current flowing into her body at the same time. Shen You raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that nothing unexpected would happen to her for the time being As Shen You was thinking happily, she did not notice that a person had suddenly appeared behind her. Shen You was holding the cake and wanted Huo Xiao to accept it, but unexpectedly, a basketball smashed down from above. As Shen You screamed, the two small cakes were smashed into pieces. Shen You looked at the cakes with heartache and glared at the culprit ¡ª Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan picked up his basketball, pulled out a piece of tissue from the desk behind him and tried to wipe it. Huo Xiao did not expect this to happen either. He looked at the cakes in Shen You¡¯s hands and was stunned. Shen You placed the cakes on the desk with hatred. She stood up and asked Zhao Nan, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Zhao Nan did not make any excuses and said matter-of-factly, ¡°My hand slipped!¡± Shen You naturally did not believe this answer, but she could not think of any other reason. She gritted her teeth and picked up the box of the cakes and walked to the trash can at the back of the classroom. She threw the box and the cakes into the trash can and rushed out of the classroom without looking back. Xie Xiao quickly chased after her. Huo Xiao stood up and wanted to chase after her, but he hesitated and stood at where he was. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zhao Nan ignored him, went back to his seat and continued to wipe the basketball. Chapter 46 - Will He Be Sucked Dry? Shen You came to the rooftop alone and looked down from a high vantage point. She thought that everything would be different after she was born again. At least, in her mind, everything was slowly developing in a good direction. She did not know why Zhao Nan still hated her so much? She had already said that she would not be engaged to him. Why would he still treat her in this manner? Shen You did not know what Zhao Nan was thinking. She only hoped that she could get as far away from him as possible! Shen You quietly leaned against the edge of the rooftop and looked into the distance. She had once fantasized that there was someone who loved her in this city.. But now, it seemed that this city really was not suitable for her¡­. Just as Shen You was about to give up, Xie Xiao rushed to the rooftop. She ran to Shen You¡¯s side, panting. She grabbed Shen You¡¯s shoulder with one hand. ¡°I ran all over the school.¡± ¡°Fortunately, I looked up at the field¡­¡± Xie Xiao said, out of breath. Shen You looked back at Xie Xiao¡¯s exhausted look and helped her to sit down. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Xie Xiao asked anxiously as soon as she sat down. Shen You smiled and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°What happened to you just now?¡± Xie Xiao asked curiously. ¡°Zhao Nan¡¯s actions were a little overboard, but¡­¡± Shen You knew what Xie Xiao wanted to say. She shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just wanted to come up and get some fresh air.¡± Xie Xiao grinned and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine! I¡¯ll accompany you!¡± Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and suddenly felt like laughing. ¡°You¡¯re the class monitor, is this okay?¡± ¡°Our class is a little special.¡± Xie Xiao chuckled. ¡°The class monitor naturally has special privileges, too!¡± Hearing that, Shen You exhaled softly and did not say anything else. It was not until the second lesson of the afternoon that Xie Xiao accompanied Shen You down from the rooftop. When the two of them arrived at the classroom, the originally noisy classroom instantly became completely silent. Shen you frowned and returned to her seat under everyone¡¯s gaze. When Huo Xiao saw that Shen You had returned, he hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Shen You was surprised that Huo Xiao had actually taken the initiative to speak to her, and her eyes were wide open. Huo Xiao saw that Shen You had been staring at him without saying a word, and his face became even redder. Shen You suddenly felt that Huo Xiao was a little cute. In the past, because of Huo Xiao¡¯s severe mysophobia, many people had avoided him. Shen You was the first person to take the initiative to contact Huo Xiao, and she was also the one who indirectly alleviated Huo Xiao¡¯s illness. There seemed to be some special fate between the two of them. Huo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable under Shen You¡¯s gaze, so he slightly tilted his body. Only when Huo Xiao moved did Shen You finally have a reaction. ¡°I¡¯m fine, thank you for your concern!¡± Shen You said happily, her eyes filled with smile. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You, and in that moment, he was actually stunned. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao, the smile on her face did not diminish, and she asked seriously, ¡°I want to ask you for a favor, can I?¡± Huo Xiao looked at Shen You¡¯s smile and nodded unconsciously. ¡°Can I?¡± Shen You saw Huo Xiao nod and asked excitedly, ¡°Really?¡± Being awakened by Shen You¡¯s excitement, Huo Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Shen You. ¡°What is it?¡± Huo Xiao asked slowly. ¡°I want you to help me with my homework!¡± Shen You said seriously. Shen You¡¯s words were like a silencer in the classroom. In an instant, the room of more than 40 people fell silent again. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and frowned. ¡°You want me to help you with your homework?¡± ¡°Yes! is that not possible?¡± Shen You still refused to let go and asked. ¡°It¡¯s not that it¡¯s not possible¡­¡± Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment and did not know how to answer. Everyone knew that he had a serious mysophobia, so they tried their best to keep a distance from him. Only Shen You always tried her best to stick by his side, and now she was even asking him to tutor her! Shen You felt Huo Xiao¡¯s emotions fluctuate, and in the next second, she smiled slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll go to the coffee shop. I won¡¯t do anything to you!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Huo Xiao¡¯s face turned even redder. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao¡¯s expression and felt even happier. She could feel an endless stream of luck coming at her. For a moment, Shen You even wondered if Huo Xiao would be sucked dry by her! Chapter 47 - Transfer Student No one knew how Shen You managed to fool Huo Xiao in the end. Everyone in the class only knew that Huo Xiao was going to tutor Shen You. In the midst of everyone¡¯s shock, this strange pair of study partners finally formed. Huo Xiao was also a straightforward person. Since he had promised, he would do it to the end. Thus, the two of them began to clock in at the coffee shop every day to study. Zhu Ge would occasionally go to the coffee shop to join in the fun. The other study groups naturally hired Huo Xiao, the top student, as a consultant. If Huo Xiao wasn¡¯t born with a serious mysophobia, with his image and grades, he would definitely become a popular figure in the school! Even in the current situation, it still couldn¡¯t stop the image of Huo Xiao as a top student from being formed! . Huo Xiao went to the coffee shop every day to clock in, which became a big spectacle in the coffee shop. Many girls from the nearby schools had gathered at the coffee shop because they wanted to see Huo Xiao. Who would have thought that the business of the coffee shop would actually get better and better because of Huo Xiao! Xie Xiao hid behind the bar counter and secretly laughed as she watched the turnover. Xie Chen could not help but laugh when she saw her sister¡¯s money-grubbing look. As Huo Xiao came into contact with everyone more and more, everyone could feel that this cold and aloof scholar had changed little by little. He was no longer distant from others, and was even more willing to share his thoughts and experiences with everyone. Huo Xiao gradually integrated into the class life, and all of these were attributed to Shen You. Shen You stayed by Huo Xiao¡¯s side every day. In 24 hours a day, other than the time when they slept and woke up, the two of them were practically glued together. Every day, Shen You would have the system take out her ¡°Lucky Bead¡± to check its storage status. As expected, ever since she had stayed with Huo Xiao, Shen You¡¯s luck value had been increasing. She was almost at the point of filling up her second bead! Just as Shen You was thinking about what reward she should exchange for, the system¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°You have a chance to exchange for to be reborn!¡± The system said excitedly, ¡°A limited time benefit. You¡¯ll regret it if you miss it!¡± Shen You raised her eyebrows, ¡°What does ¡®reborn¡¯ mean?¡± ¡°Change any part of your body that you¡¯re not satisfied with.¡± The system¡¯s voice still carried a strong sense of bewitchment. ¡°Duration?¡± Shen You did not want to be deceived again. ¡°Forever!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded particularly determined. Shen You considered it for a moment, then said, ¡°What other options do you have?¡± ¡°If you collect two full pearls, you can extend your lifespan by two years,¡± the system said again. ¡°If you collect three full pearls, you will receive an unexpected windfall.¡± Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Shen You began to calculate in her heart. Right now, her HP was not stable. She needed to rely on the pearls to extend her lifespan. Beauty and wisdom were not important to her at all. The most important thing now was to stay alive! Shen You made up her mind. She was no longer bewitched by the system. She focused on collecting beads in exchange for her life. Two weeks had passed. The national competition was about to begin. Shen You spent every day with Huo Xiao. The two of them were inseparable. Due to this, Shen You¡¯s results improved even more. In fact, Shen You¡¯s grades were not bad to begin with. It was just that she had always been focused on Zhao Nan, so she had no time to care about these things. Speaking of Zhao Nan, it was a little strange. Ever since he smashed Shen You¡¯s cakes that day, he had not been to school for three consecutive days. Until the fourth day, when he arrived at school, he had remained silent. Even if others talked to him, he never paid attention to them. Zhao Nan seemed to be losing his temper with someone, which was hard to figure out. Two days before the competition, there was news in the class. Two students transferred from other cities to Shen You¡¯s class. This was big news for this class. The members of this class were mostly the children of the rich in this city, and it was difficult for the rich families in other cities to blend in. Before the transfer students entered the school, there were already rumors in the class. It was said that there were two people, a male and a female. They were both the children of the rich families who had good grades, good looks, and were especially amiable. Shen You thought that she had seen many children of the rich families, but most of them were weird, like Zhao Nan. Now that she was lucky enough to see a normal person, Shen You was somewhat looking forward to it. On the day of the transfer, everyone was waiting expectantly in class. Shen You didn¡¯t remember anything about transfer students in her previous life. It seemed like a lot of things were quietly changing. Chapter 48 - Indeed a Genius! Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two transfer students finally appeared in front of everyone. The boy looked tall and thin, with fair complexion, but his slightly dark eye circles made him look somewhat sick. The girl was outstanding. She tied her long hair high up into a ponytail. She looked clean and refreshing, and also very amiable. The boy¡¯s gaze swept through the crowd and finally landed on Huo Xiao, who was beside Shen You. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, but no one could tell his feeling. The girl, on the other hand, shifted her gaze to Huo Xiao when she was facing everyone in the class. But it was only for a moment before her gaze landed on Shen You. . Shen You raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing what the other party was trying to do. Shen You had some impression of these two people. In her previous life, they had never transferred to this school, but they had appeared at Shen Jiao¡¯s engagement party. It was said that these two people, along with the Shen family, Zhao family, and even the Huo family, were aristocratic families. The boy¡¯s name was Ling Rui, and the girl¡¯s name was Wu Qi. One was from a military family, and the other was the daughter of a wealthy jewelry merchant. Shen You looked at the two of them, but the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in her mind, ¡°Alarm, alarm!¡± Shen You could not help but roll her eyes, ¡°What alarm! If there¡¯s anything, just say it!¡± ¡°One of these two people will harm you!¡± The system finally gave a clear command. However, this command was actually one of two choices! Shen You slightly took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm, ¡°Is there a more specific hint?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t say who the person is, but tell me roughly what it is about!¡± Shen You was already helpless with this unreliable system. The system said again, ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Shen You almost flipped the table and stood up to scold the system. Fortunately, she was still rational, so she did not make such a crazy move. Suddenly, a scrutinizing gaze fell on Shen You. Shen You frowned and looked over. It was indeed the boy who had just transferred. The two of them looked at each other, and neither of them planned to withdraw their gaze first. At this moment, the class teacher instructed the two of them to sit down in the empty seats in the class. Ling Rui walked to a seat in the aisle from Shen You and sat down. Shen You felt that the moment once Ling Rui sat down, a gust of cold air surrounded her. As for Wu Qi, he walked to a seat near Shen Jiao and sat down. Shen You could feel that Ling Rui¡¯s gaze was always on her and Huo Xiao. After a full lesson, Shen You finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She stood up and faced Ling Rui. ¡°What do you want!¡± Ling Rui curled her lips and looked at Shen You. She then said faintly, ¡°I don¡¯t think the two of you are compatible.¡± Shen You raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ling Rui¡¯s provocative look. ¡°Are you compatible?¡± The smile on Ling Rui¡¯s face deepened, ¡°Yes!¡± Shen You rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat, ¡°There¡¯s no way to communicate with this person!¡± Zhu Ge was sitting in the back. He looked at Shen You¡¯s defeated look and couldn¡¯t help but admire Ling Rui. ¡°Hello, Ling Rui. My name is Zhu Ge!¡± Zhu Ge stood up and extended his hand to Ling Rui. Ling Rui also extended his hand and shook Zhu Ge¡¯s. In the next moment, Zhu Ge exclaimed, ¡°Why are your hands so cold?¡± Ling Rui smiled but did not answer. Shen You turned her head to face Huo Xiao and did not want to bother with Ling Rui anymore. However, in the next moment, Shen You saw that there was an additional person beside Huo Xiao. ¡°Zhao Nan, long time no see!¡± Wu Qi said to Huo Xiao with a smile. Huo Xiao did not even raise his head. Wu Qi seemed to have been used to Huo Xiao¡¯s attitude and did not care. She continued to talk about her transfer experience. Shen You looked at Wu Qi talking to herself and suddenly recalled that she had communicated with Huo Xiao in the same way not long ago. Huo Xiao was like a big block of ice, cold and hard. It was not easy to go through a period of time until Shen You had slightly melted this block of ice until there were no more edges. Seeing Wu Qi¡¯s look of getting used to it, Shen You could not help but sigh for her. At this moment, Huo Xiao suddenly pushed his workbook in front of Shen You, ¡°Do the questions.¡± Shen You looked at the whole page of questions in front of her in shock. She didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Was this big brother seriously designing questions for me? A beautiful girl was talking non-stop by his side, and he could calm down and come up with questions? He was indeed a genius! Chapter 49 - Special Emotions After school, Huo Xiao followed Shen You to the coffee shop as usual. Not long after, Wu Qi and Ling Rui also appeared in the coffee shop. Huo Xiao obviously did not plan to pay attention to the two of them. He just sat on the sofa and read his book. Ling Rui walked up to Huo Xiao and said, ¡°It¡¯s been so long since we last met. You didn¡¯t even want to say hello?¡± Huo Xiao looked up slightly and looked at Ling Rui, ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything to you.¡± Hearing Huo Xiao¡¯s words, Ling Rui¡¯s expression instantly tensed up. Wu Qi stood at the side and looked at the two of them, slightly biting her lips. . Seeing that Ling Rui wanted to reach out to touch Huo Xiao, Wu Qi quickly reached out her hand to stop him. ¡°Don¡¯t! He has¡­¡± Before Wu Qi could finish her words, a figure walked past the two of them. Shen You was busy in the kitchen for a while. She found Wu Qi and Ling Rui the moment she came out. Shen You walked to Huo Xiao¡¯s side, picked up Huo Xiao¡¯s school bag and sat down. ¡°You guys are here, too.¡± Shen You greeted Ling Rui and Wu Qi. Then, Shen You smiled apologetically. ¡°The competition is going to start soon. I really don¡¯t have time to entertain you guys!¡± ¡°Just tell Sister Chen what you want to eat and drink. She¡¯s the boss here!¡± Shen You said as she pointed in the direction of the bar counter. Ling Rui and Wu Qi watched in shock as Huo Xiao nonchalantly gulped down the coffee that Shen You had brought over. ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t you have mysophobia?¡± Wu Qi reached out her hand as if she wanted to verify Huo Xiao¡¯s identity. Seeing this, Huo Xiao tilted his body slightly to avoid Wu Qi¡¯s hand. Wu Qi¡¯s hand touched nothing and she was stunned on the spot. Huo Xiao acted as if he did not hear her and just stared at Shen You who started to do the questions. Wu Qi waited for a long time, but there was no response. Ling Rui tugged at her arm, indicating her to leave first. The two of them went round to look for a seats, and finally found in the corner. ¡°What¡¯s going on with Huo Xiao?¡± Wu Qi frowned, with her eyes still staring in Huo Xiao¡¯s direction. ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have mysophobia? Why would he let Shen You get so close to him?¡± Wu Qi glared at Shen You, trying to get an answer out of her. Ling Rui, on the other hand, kept his gaze on Huo Xiao. ¡°Judging from his reaction to you, it doesn¡¯t look like he has recovered!¡± ¡°Then why¡­¡± The more Wu Qi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. ¡°Didn¡¯t we grow up with him together? Why¡­¡± ¡°Hey! Think about it. Since we were young, even his mother couldn¡¯t touch him!¡± Ling Rui said nonchalantly. Hearing that, Wu Qi stared at Shen You, wanting to see what was actually different in her. While doing the exercises, Shen You felt two pairs of burning eyes were looking at her. She finally could not hold it in anymore. She turned her head slightly and stared at Huo Xiao with a smile. She gnashed her teeth and said, ¡°What are those two guys doing?¡± ¡°Ignore them!¡± Huo Xiao replied expressionlessly. ¡°You¡¯re not the one being stared at!¡± Shen You said impatiently. ¡°Are you afraid of being stared at?¡± Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows and revealed a curious expression on his face. After spending some time together recently, Shen You realized that not only was Huo Xiao not a block of ice, he even had some detestable and evil interests! He was just not good at getting along with others, but he could always choke them to death with one or two sentences! Shen You secretly took a breath and decided to forget about it. After all, she really couldn¡¯t leave Huo Xiao! Shen You took another deep breath and finished the remaining few exercises. ¡°System notification: Additional luck value obtained, increased luck value!¡± The system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in her mind. Shen You stared in a daze, not understanding what was going on¡­ ¡°What is additional luck value?¡± Shen You gripped the pen and asked the system, ¡°What is increased luck value?¡± ¡°As it triggers a special emotion, it will obtain double the previous luck value!¡± The system sounded very excited. Shen You frowned and her expression became even more dull, ¡°Special emotion? What the hell is that?¡± ¡°When a special emotion is triggered, the luck value will change along and at the same time, it will affect your overall luck value!¡± The system continued to explain. ¡°In other words¡­ someone has special feelings for me?¡± Shen You raised one of her eyebrows for a long time, and her face became distorted. ¡°Bingo!¡± The system gave a positive answer. ¡°Who is it?¡± Shen You asked curiously, and she subconsciously looked in Huo Xiao¡¯s direction. However, Huo Xiao still looked like he was focused on studying the exercise. ¡°This guy¡­ shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡± Shen You thought about it and smacked her lips. It didn¡¯t seem like he had any special feelings. ¡°Then who could it be?¡± Shen You became even more confused. Chapter 50 - I Want to Talk to You Ling Rui and Wu Qi waited for Huo Xiao to leave before following him out of the coffee shop. The two of them secretly observed for the whole night, but they did not find any abnormal relationship between Shen You and Huo Xiao. Shen You was busy preparing for the competition, so she did not notice that Shen Jiao had not come to school for a few days. Zhao Nan, on the other hand, finally arrived at school after missing school for three days. Two days before the competition, Shen You was so nervous that she couldn¡¯t control herself. She had a problem since she was young. Whenever she was nervous, she wanted to eat. She took a big loaf of bread and took a few bites, and then started working hard again. . In her previous life, she spent a lot of time chasing away all the girls around Zhao Nan. In the end, Zhao Nan didn¡¯t belong to her. Everything didn¡¯t belong to her. This time, no matter what, she had to leave something behind for herself! Zhao Nan stared at Shen You hesitantly for a long time. It was not until noon break that Zhao Nan walked up to Shen You. ¡°I want to talk to you.¡± Shen You replied without turning her head, ¡°I¡¯m not free!¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s expression instantly stiffened. Zhu Ge walked over and placed a hand on Zhao Nan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s best that you don¡¯t provoke her now.¡± ¡°Those who provoke her now will not have a good ending!¡± Zhu Ge explained using his own personal experience. Shen You did not pay attention to Zhu Ge¡¯s words. Instead, she focused on eating her bread and doing the questions. ¡°Alright!¡± Zhao Nan thought for a moment before saying, ¡°After the competition, let¡¯s have a good talk.¡± Shen You did not reply. She continued to focus on her own matters. Zhao Nan waited for a while before leaving reluctantly. He did not know what was wrong with he himself. Recently, Shen You¡¯s disregard for him made Zhao Nan feel uncomfortable all over. Ever since Shen You and Huo Xiao got closer and closer, Zhao Nan felt that it was an eyesore. In the past, he was most annoyed by Shen You coming over from other classes every day to pester him. Now that Shen You treated him like a stranger, Zhao Nan found it even harder to accept. ¡­ The national competition took place as scheduled. Shen You, Lu Chang, and the others gathered outside the competition venue early in the morning. As the competition this time was in a closed venue mode, except for the two media platforms that allowed recording, no one else was allowed to enter. Shen You stood in the crowd and looked around. She was especially nervous a few days before the competition. Now that the competition was about to start, she made up her mind instead. Suddenly, Shen You felt a gaze at her from the crowd. She looked in that direction and met Wu Qi¡¯s gaze. Shen You was a little surprised. She didn¡¯t expect Wu Qi to participate in this competition. However, Wu Qi was here as a representative of another school. The two of them nodded slightly at each other and then looked away. Everyone lined up to enter the competition venue. This competition was divided into individual and team competitions. The competition system used the elimination method. Shen You knew that she wasn¡¯t the strongest contestant, but being able to participate in the competition was already an eye-opener for her! She looked around curiously at the competitors around her. As expected, she found a few scholars who had become famous at a young age in her previous life. Shen You secretly felt excited. She also had the chance to compete with these people! The change in Shen You¡¯s mindset instantly made her feel much more relaxed. On the contrary, the other members of the team were all nervous at this moment. Shen You wanted to comfort them, but she knew that nothing she said would be of any use. A person¡¯s nervousness was not something that could be resolved with just a few words. Suddenly, a sharp voice came from beside them, ¡°Isn¡¯t this Lu Chang?¡± Shen You followed the voice and turned her head, only to see a girl with long, shoulder-length hair walking in Lu Chang¡¯s direction. Shen You glanced at Lu Chang, only to see that Lu Chang¡¯s entire face was contorted. ¡°You really came to participate in the competition!¡± The girl giggled, sounding a little ear-piercing. ¡°With your level¡­ aren¡¯t you afraid of losing face?¡± The corner of the girl¡¯s mouth curled up as she stared at Lu Chang from top to bottom. The corner of Lu Chang¡¯s mouth was tightly pursed. ¡°I¡¯ll only know what my level is after we compete!¡± Shen You was secretly cheering for Lu Chang in her heart. She hated the most the type of persons who judge others! Especially people who felt themselves superior, just by looking at them! This person suddenly reminded Shen You of Shen Jiao. She was also a proud favorite daughter who felt that she was superior to everyone else! The corner of the girl¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, and her gaze towards Lu Chang was filled with pity. ¡°I advise you not to overestimate yourself!¡± ¡°Otherwise, when the time comes, it won¡¯t just be you who will be embarrassed¡­ and your that mother!¡± As the girl spoke, her laughter became even more arrogant. Lu Chang¡¯s expression instantly changed. He was about to rush up and argue with the girl, but was stopped by Shen You. Chapter 51 - Competition Ended Shen You secretly grabbed Lu Chang¡¯s arm and said, ¡°If you violate the rules of the competition venue, you will be kicked out!¡± Lu Chang gritted his teeth and glared at the girl with slightly red eyes. When the girl saw Shen You stop him, she sized Shen You up and down. She covered her mouth and laughed, ¡°How is it? Ugly Freak, you want to get involved?¡± Shen You subconsciously touched the mark on her forehead. She frowned and looked at the girl, ¡°Your provocation can only prove that you¡¯re lacking in self-confidence.¡± ¡°You¡¯d better return to your own team, or else you might be kicked out by the referee!¡± Shen You kindly reminded. ¡°Kicked out?¡± The girl suddenly raised her head and laughed, as if she had heard something funny. ¡°I really want to know who dares to kick me out!¡± The girl shook her head and said, with her voice getting louder and louder. . Shen You didn¡¯t want to argue with the other party, so she pulled Lu Chang back to their own team. The girl was still unwilling to let them go, so she followed Shen You and Lu Chang into their team. Suddenly, the live broadcast rang, ¡°The competition is about to start, please return to your own team.¡± That girl bit her lower lip and stopped in her tracks. With a ¡°hmph¡±, she turned around and left. Lu Chang¡¯s gaze was still fixed on that girl, and he looked as if his blood was burning. Shen You looked at Lu Chang¡¯s expression, and her heart was also burning. Shen Jiao stood at the other end of the team, looking at Shen You, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. In the individual competition, Shen You stood out from the hundreds of people in the elimination round and entered the top 10. Also in the top 10 were Shen Jiao, Lu Chang, and that provocative girl. The few of them stood on the stage, and below the stage were the eliminated contestants. ¡°Next, we will have a two-on-two duel!¡± The host¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°I have five groups of competition questions in my hands,¡± the host continued. ¡°We will have the group competition. Each group will choose a winner.¡± The host took out a box and said, ¡°Now, let¡¯s draw lots for groups.¡± All 10 contestants drew their own numbers. ¡°Next, please stand together with the contestants with the same number.¡± The host continued to instruct the crowd. Shen You held the No. 5 card in her hand and looked for the number in the hands of the others. Finally, she saw another No. 5 at a glance. When she looked at her opponent, Shen You was stunned for a moment. ¡°Wu Qi?¡± Wu Qi raised the number card in her hand and walked in front of Shen You. ¡°Please give me your guidance.¡± Shen You nodded blankly and smiled at Wu Qi. Each group of competitions had a total of 11 questions, and the person who answered the questions more correctly would win. Wu Qi and Shen You were equally strong, but for some reason, Wu Qi was distracted during the last question, which allowed Shen You to win by a narrow margin. Wu Qi generously extended her hand and smiled at Shen You. Shen You was a little embarrassed instead. She shook hands with Wu Qi and said with a smile, ¡°Thank you.¡± Lu Chang was in the same group as the girl who had provoked her earlier. There was indeed a certain gap between their strengths. In the end, Lu Chang lost the match 4-7. Shen You looked at Lu Chang¡¯s dejected look and then the girl¡¯s mocking gaze that was staring at Lu Chang. In her heart, she decided that she must seek justice for Lu Chang! Shen Jiao stood on the other side and looked at Shen You. The student who had been defeated by her shook his head and sighed as he walked off the stage. The next five-persons competition would be a contest to determine the winner. The more questions one could answer and the higher the accuracy rate, the person would be the winner! ¡­ The national competition ended, and all the teams gathered. Lu Chang walked in front of Shen You with a joyful smile on his face. Shen You looked at Lu Chang¡¯s appearance and smiled. ¡°Shen You, Congratulations!¡± Lu Chang said sincerely. ¡°You¡¯re not bad either!¡± Shen You also congratulated him. Wu Qi walked over and looked at the certificate in Shen You¡¯s hand. She said sincerely, ¡°Congratulations!¡± Shen You smiled and replied, ¡°Thank you! But it¡¯s still not good enough!¡± ¡°What do you mean it¡¯s not enough! Second place is already very impressive!¡± A few classmates beside her said enviously. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys also have the reward of third place in the team!¡± Shen You looked at them with some amusement. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, we wouldn¡¯t have won this prize!¡± A few students said with a smile. While they were chatting and laughing, Shen Jiao put away the certificate in her hand expressionlessly and turned to leave. ¡°Hey, Shen Jiao, let¡¯s go together!¡± A student called out. ¡°Ignore her!¡± Another student pulled the student back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The student who was stopped was a little confused. ¡°Missy didn¡¯t get a good ranking, so she¡¯s unhappy!¡± The other student pouted and said. Shen You looked at Shen Jiao¡¯s back as she left and couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. Shen Jiao was too proud and couldn¡¯t take a blow. She had also gained a lot this time. Two third place results were already the envy of many people! Shen You knew, Shen Jiao was just not reconciled¡­ Because she lost to her¡­ Chapter 52 - You Like Shen You? The girl who had mocked Lu Chang walked over. Her gaze landed on the certificate in Shen You¡¯s hand, and her gaze was filled with disgust. ¡°What¡¯s so great about it! Isn¡¯t it just a certificate!¡± Lu Chang walked forward and smiled at the girl. ¡°It¡¯s just a certificate! Do you have it?¡± The girl paused for a moment, and then said, ¡°You didn¡¯t win this with your own ability.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just like your mother, a vampire who only knows how to cling to others.¡± The girl still wanted to show off her eloquence. Lu Chang¡¯s expression instantly became furious. He stuffed the award certificate into Shen You¡¯s arms with one hand, then stepped forward and punched the girl¡¯s face. . This time, Shen You didn¡¯t stop Lu Chang. The competition had already ended, and the person in charge had already left. It was time for Lu Chang to vent his anger. A few students around wanted to step forward to stop him, but under the hint of Shen You¡¯s gaze, they all looked around as if they did not see anything. ¡­ In the biggest shopping mall in the city center, a group of girls watched with infatuation the two boys that walked past them. Many shop assistants in the store were like the other girls, staring at the two of them without blinking. ¡°This is a rare thing. Why is Young Master Zhao here?¡± One of the older shop assistants said in a low voice. ¡°Young Master Zhao?¡± Another younger shop assistant asked curiously, ¡°Who is he?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± The older shop assistant looked at the younger shop assistant in confusion. ¡°No, I don¡¯t!¡± The younger shop assistant replied without thinking. ¡°Why are you still watching if you don¡¯t know?¡± The older shop assistant was even more confused. ¡°He¡¯s handsome!¡± The younger shop assistant answered straightforwardly. The older shop assistant pursed her lips in disgust and said, ¡°How many famous Zhao families do we have here?¡± The younger shop assistant was still confused. Then, she clapped her hands. ¡°It can¡¯t be¡­ the very rich Zhao family, right?¡± Only then did the older shop assistant look at her with an expression which said that she was a child that worth teaching. The younger shop assistant could not help but click her tongue and sigh. ¡°What a guy! As expected, a young master from a rich family is really handsome!¡± Zhu Ge followed behind Zhao Nan and walked around the mall two full rounds. Finally, he could not stand it anymore and pulled Zhao Nan back. ¡°What are you looking for exactly?¡± Zhao Nan stood still and scratched his hair a little impatiently. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s expression and could not help but find it funny. ¡°I noticed that you¡¯ve been acting a little strange lately.¡± ¡°How is it strange?¡± Zhao Nan glared at Zhu Ge and asked unhappily. ¡°Are you¡­¡± Zhu Ge said as he circled around Zhao Nan and scrutinized him from head to toe. ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly!¡± Being stared at by Zhu Ge, Zhao Nan felt even more embarrassed. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan, and after a long time, he asked, ¡°You like Shen You?¡± Zhao Nan immediately scurried away. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s sudden outburst, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. Seeing that Zhu Ge did not speak, Zhao Nan felt even more embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go buy something!¡± After saying that, Zhao Nan turned around and left. ¡°Buy what?¡± Zhu Ge took two steps and followed Zhu Ge¡¯s footsteps. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Zhao Nan answered without hesitation. ¡°Boss! Please give us a hint! We¡¯ve been walking around here for almost two hours!¡± Zhu Ge couldn¡¯t help but complain. He must have gone out today without looking at the almanac, which was why he agreed to accompany Zhao Nan to buy something! He didn¡¯t know who to buy it for, nor did he know what to buy¡­ Zhao Nan suddenly walked into a jewelry store and stood in front of the counter, staring at a necklace in a daze. Zhu Ge followed him in and looked at Zhao Nan. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhao Nan ignored him and asked the shop assistant, ¡°Which one is more suitable for young girls?¡± The shop assistant looked at Zhao Nan in a daze, as if he didn¡¯t understand his question. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan in surprise. ¡°You don¡¯t have any?¡± Zhao Nan frowned and looked at the shop assistant who didn¡¯t move at all. The shop assistant seemed to have woken up from a dream at this time and hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, please wait a moment!¡± The shop assistant took a few and placed them in front of Zhao Nan. ¡°Excuse me, are you giving them to your girlfriend?¡± Hearing the shop assistant¡¯s question, Zhu Ge also waited for the answer excitedly at the side. Zhao Nan ignored the shop assistant and pointed to the necklace he had taken a fancy to. ¡°Take that out for me to have a look.¡± ¡°Sir, you have a good eye. This necklace is a new style that we have here. It¡¯s called ¡®precious¡¯.¡± The shop assistant finally realized his duty and introduced enthusiastically. Chapter 53 - Engagement Gift Zhao Nan looked at no less than 10 necklaces in the shop, but he didn¡¯t make up his mind. Seeing this, Zhu Ge walked up and asked with raised eyebrows, ¡°Do you need my advice?¡± ¡°Who is it for? Let me help you choose!¡± Zhu Ge asked tentatively. Zhao Nan said in a low voice, ¡°Fianc¨¦e.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zhu Ge replied subconsciously, and then he stared at Zhao Nan with his eyes wide open. ¡°You, what did you say?¡± Zhu Ge almost bit his tongue. ¡°Fianc¨¦e?¡± ¡°You¡¯re engaged?¡± Zhu Ge stared at Zhao Nan in disbelief.. Zhao Nan frowned. Looking at Zhu Ge¡¯s expression, he couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°Making a fuss over nothing.¡± He quickly waved his hand. ¡°This isn¡¯t making a fuss over nothing! This is big news!¡± Zhao Nan shrugged noncommittally and didn¡¯t say anything. Zhu Ge quickly came forward and asked, ¡°Who are you engaged to? Why haven¡¯t I heard about it? When did this happen?¡± A series of questions made Zhao Nan¡¯s expression stiffen. ¡°When did you become so nosy?¡± ¡°Things to do with you can¡¯t be called nosy!¡± Zhu Ge said unhappily. ¡°I¡¯m just concerned about you!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s the other party?¡± Zhu Ge asked again. Then, he thought of something. ¡°It can¡¯t be Shen You, right?¡± Zhu Ge suddenly remembered that Zhao Nan and Shen You had an engagement to begin with. If Zhao Nan suddenly got engaged, then the most likely person to be engaged would be Shen You. When Zhao Nan heard this, he turned to look at Zhu Ge. He didn¡¯t answer directly. Instead, he asked Zhu Ge, ¡°Which one do you think is good-looking?¡± Zhu Ge looked at the necklace in the man¡¯s hand, his brows tightly knitted together. This guy did not give him a direct answer, causing him to be anxious. Zhu Ge thought for a moment, then said, ¡°I think, if it¡¯s Idol, she would like that necklace.¡± As Zhu Ge said this, he pointed at the necklace called ¡®Precious¡¯. Zhao Nan lifted the necklace and looked at it. Then, he said to the shop assistant, ¡°I¡¯ll take this one.¡± Under the double shock of the shop assistant and Zhu Ge, Zhao Nan paid the bill and instructed the shop assistant to wrap the necklace up nicely. Carrying the necklace, Zhao Nan walked out of the mall. Zhu Ge had been chasing after him the whole time. He was eager to know if the future owner of this necklace was Shen You! Walking out of the mall, Zhao Nan turned to Zhu Ge and said, ¡°I still have something to do. You can go back first!¡± ¡°Eh? That¡¯s it?¡± Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan in disbelief as he strode away. Shen You returned to the coffee shop. Xie Xiao had already prepared something to celebrate and was waiting for her. ¡°How is it? How is it?¡± Xie Xiao rushed over to greet Shen You who had just entered the door. Shen You took out the certificate from her bag and handed it to Xie Xiao. ¡°I¡¯m not just saying it, Shen You, you¡¯re really great!¡± Xie Xiao could not help but praise. ¡°When I saw your results previously, and I thought¡­¡± Xie Xiao said and smiled awkwardly. Shen You waved her hand and said, ¡°I was young and ignorant in the past.¡± Shen You took a deep breath and said, ¡°I also learned from my mistakes painfully and improve myself painfully!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Xie Xiao could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°How much pain were you in?¡± Shen You smiled bitterly. Perhaps, only she herself knew that kind of heart-wrenching pain! Xie Xiao suddenly thought of something. ¡°Oh yes, Huo Xiao has just left!¡± Shen You suddenly remembered. ¡°Just now, I was so focused on avenging Lu Chang that I forgot about Huo Xiao!¡± Shen You had originally agreed to meet Huo Xiao at the coffee shop after the competition ended. ¡°Has he left already?¡± Shen You sighed secretly. ¡°Yeah! He waited for you for so long and you didn¡¯t come back.¡± Xie Xiao pulled Shen You into the room. ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t bother about him. You¡¯ve been tired all day. Rest early.¡± Xie Xiao said as he pulled Shen You back to the room. After Xie Xiao left, Shen You lay on the bed alone. ¡°I was really too stupid in my previous life!¡± Shen You couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°What stupid things did I do to get the approval of those people!¡± Shen You smiled bitterly, full of disdain for her past self. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°But, you¡¯re doing great. You got to know Huo Xiao and the others so quickly! I thought you¡¯d have to work hard for it!¡± The system praised. ¡°It¡¯s all for my luck value that I have to work hard!¡± Shen You clenched her fists and said. ¡°You¡¯ve also gained something from today¡¯s competition. I believe you¡¯ll be able to collect two pearls very soon!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded bewitching. ¡°With this result, you should be able to escape the fate of your previous life even faster,¡± the system said sincerely. Chapter 54 - Not Giving up Any Chance! Shen You knew that the winners this time would be offered an olive branch by all the major universities, and they might even make an exception for admission. This was also the reason why Shen You desperately wanted to get a place in the competition. In her previous life, in order to pursue Zhao Nan, she was busy chasing away all the girls around him every day. But for this competition that was related to her future fate, she directly gave up. This time, she must not give up any chance! ¡­ The next day, Shen You had just entered the school gate when she was stopped by Zhao Nan. ¡°I have something for you,¡± Zhao Nan said as he stuffed a box into Shen You¡¯s hand.. Before Shen You could react, there was already something in her hand. By the time she reacted, Zhao Nan had already walked some distance away. Shen You held the box up from behind and asked, ¡°Hey, what¡¯s this?¡± Zhao Nan did not reply and had already walked away quickly. Shen You looked at the additional box in her hand with a puzzled expression. ¡°What the hell!¡± Huo Xiao walked past her. His gaze paused on the box for a moment before he walked away. ¡°Hey¡­¡± Shen You wanted to greet him, but Huo Xiao had already walked away. ¡°Early in the morning! What¡¯s wrong with all of you!¡± Shen You mumbled as she took the box and walked towards the classroom. Shen You sat in her seat and stuffed the box into the drawer, but she did not open it. After a day¡¯s time, Shen You had completely forgotten about the box. However, she could feel Zhao Nan¡¯s gaze from time to time, which made her very uncomfortable. Finally, when school was over, Shen You grabbed Zhu Ge, who was about to leave. Zhu Ge was grabbed by the back of his lapel, and he was almost strangled to death on the spot by Shen You. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Zhu Ge took two steps back before he covered his neck and looked at Shen You with an aggrieved expression. ¡°Idol! Are you trying to murder me for money?¡± Zhu Ge stared at Shen You, and his tone sounded pitiful. Shen You pulled Zhu Ge¡¯s arm to her. ¡°Do you know what the matter with Zhao Nan?¡± ¡°Ah? Zhao Nan? What has happened to him?¡± Zhu Ge was puzzled by Shen You¡¯s question. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I keep feeling like he was spying on me today!¡± Shen You said mysteriously, as it it was true. Zhu Ge thought for a while, but he couldn¡¯t think of any reason. ¡°Why do you feel like he was spying on you?¡± ¡°Just¡­ Just a feeling! I feel like he¡¯s always watching me!¡± Shen You was really confused. ¡°Oh yes! He even forced a box to me this morning!¡± Shen You slapped her forehead, finally remembering the beginning of all the strange events. When he heard of the box, Zhu Ge¡¯s emotions suddenly got a little excited. ¡°Quick! Take it out and let me see!¡± Shen You frowned as she watched Zhu Ge¡¯s strange reaction. She reached out her hand into the drawer and rummaged for the box, only to find that it was gone! ¡°Eh? Where is it?¡± Shen You lowered her head and rummaged through the drawer, only to find that the box was really lost! ¡°The box is gone!¡± Shen You said with some annoyance. ¡°Then did you see what was in the box?¡± Zhu Ge asked again. ¡°No!¡± Shen You said with a sad face, ¡°It can¡¯t be something valuable, right?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± Shen You tried to comfort herself, but in the next moment, she became frustrated again. ¡°Otherwise, how can I afford to pay for it!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Shen You. Although it was a little funny, he couldn¡¯t help but become anxious along with Shen You. However, no matter how hard Shen You searched, the box that was filled with something disappeared! Shen You looked at Zhu Ge nervously. ¡°Do you know what Zhao Nan is planning to do?¡± ¡°Am I finished?¡± Shen You guessed uneasily. ¡°I don¡¯t think he will do anything to you!¡± Zhu Ge tried his best to comfort Shen You. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask Zhao Nan what is inside?¡± Zhu Ge suggested. ¡°At least you know the amount of compensation!¡± Hearing Zhu Ge¡¯s suggestion, Shen You hesitated for a moment and decided to ask Zhao Nan about it. Huo Xiao seemed to be busy all day and did not appear in class. After interacting on the competition venue, Wu Qi and Shen You somewhat became familiar with each other. ¡°Do you know where Huo Xiao went today?¡± Wu Qi asked Shen You. Only then did Shen You realize that she had only seen Huo Xiao in the morning. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him either. Did something happen to him?¡± Shen You guessed with uncertainty. ¡°I heard that he¡¯s going to study abroad!¡± Wu Qi continued. ¡°Abroad?¡± Shen You was instantly shocked. ¡°Why?¡± Shen You sounded a little excited. Wu Qi looked at Shen You¡¯s expression and asked after a long while, ¡°You didn¡¯t hear anything?¡± Shen You shook her head, indicating that she really didn¡¯t know! Chapter 55 - Going Abroad? Hearing from Wu Qi, Shen You knew that Huo Xiao was going abroad. No wonder, in her previous life¡¯s memories, it was after Shen You became an adult that she met Huo Xiao at a party. At that time, Huo Xiao was already an elite in the business world. It turned out that he would go abroad to further his studies at this time. In her previous life, Shen You put all her attention on Zhao Nan. Without enough attention from her family, Zhao Nan was the only person who could give her hope! However, her attention and her appreciation were at the end met with disdain and contempt. Perhaps, it was not so much that Shen You was unwilling to accept her fate, but it was more of giving too much of herself and getting nothing in return! For some reason, when she heard that Huo Xiao was going abroad, Shen You felt her heart ache. . In the end, she could not stay by his side forever. Shen You did not know whether she was depressed because she could no longer obtain Huo Xiao¡¯s luck value, or because Huo Xiao was leaving. Just then, Zhao Nan returned to the classroom. His gaze swept over Shen You. Seeing that Shen You did not react, he frowned slightly. Shen You was chatting with Wu Qi about Huo Xiao, so she did not notice Zhao Nan enter. ¡°The Huo family will have a party this weekend. Did you receive an invitation?¡± Wu Qi asked curiously. Shen You shook her head, but not with obvious disappointment. After all, with her status, the Huo family wouldn¡¯t send her any invitations. ¡°If you want to go, I can take you with me,¡± Wu Qi said as she held Shen You¡¯s hand. Shen You smiled and looked at Wu Qi without saying anything. Zhao Nan stared at Shen You¡¯s expression. After a moment, he turned around and left. Zhu Ge could not help but find it funny when he saw Zhao Nan leave in a huff. This guy seemed to really have feelings for Shen You! However, it seemed that Shen You did not take Zhao Nan seriously at all. Zhu Ge could not help but sigh that this love triangle was really a difficult problem to solve! Shen You did not notice Zhao Nan¡¯s actions at all, but she was thinking about what she should do in the future if Huo Xiao left. Shen You did not plan to agree to Wu Qi¡¯s suggestion. After all, if Huo Xiao did not want her to appear at the party, she would only attract unwanted attention if she went. Due to Huo Xiao¡¯s matter, Shen You had completely forgotten about Zhao Nan and the box. Xie Xiao ran in from outside. Seeing that Shen You and Wu Qi were talking, she ran to Shen You¡¯s side and said, ¡°Did you know that Huo Xiao is going abroad?¡± Shen You and Wu Qi turned to look at Xie Xiao at the same time. Their faces were indifferent. ¡°Aren¡¯t you surprised?¡± Xie Xiao looked at the two of them in disbelief. Zhu Ge stood at the side and looked at Xie Xiao as if he was looking at an idiot. ¡°They already know!¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Xie Xiao blinked. She did not expect that she was not the first person to receive the news. Shen You suddenly felt a little stifled. She said to Xie Xiao, ¡°Let¡¯s go back quickly! We haven¡¯t finished today¡¯s work!¡± After Shen You said that, she carried her school bag and walked out of the classroom. When Xie Xiao saw that Shen You had left, she hurriedly returned to her seat, picked up her school bag, and chased after her. Zhu Ge swayed his long legs and walked past Wu Qi with a meaningful smile. The faint smile on Wu Qi¡¯s face disappeared in an instant. Sure enough, Huo Xiao did not appear in the coffee shop that day. It was as if everything had changed from the moment the competition ended! Shen You lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. ¡°System, are you there?¡± The system¡¯s voice came slowly, ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°If Huo Xiao leaves, what should I do?¡± Shen You suddenly felt a little lost. ¡°Find another person,¡± the system said straightforwardly. Shen You¡¯s originally depressed mood immediately changed when she heard this sentence. Shen You thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Where can I find someone with such high luck value that I can still cling onto?¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded once again, and its tone was even a little disdainful. ¡°It¡¯s not yours if it¡¯s not meant for you!¡± ¡°He¡­ isn¡¯t mine?¡± Shen You was suddenly a little confused. Shen You randomly chatted with the system and fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, Xie Xiao ran to Shen You¡¯s room and knocked on the door. ¡°Shen You! Wake up!¡± Shen You opened the door with sleepy eyes. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Something big has happened!¡± Xie Xiao pushed Shen You into the room and said. Shen You was still in a sleepy state. She did not know what was wrong with Xie Xiao early in the morning. ¡°Your mother just brought someone over and said that she was going to bring you back for the engagement!¡± Xie Xiao shouted in Shen You¡¯s ear. The drowsy Shen You¡¯s was suddenly startled awake. Chapter 56 - Framed Someone Else Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°What did you say?¡± Shen You stared at Xie Xiao in shock. ¡°Your mother! They¡¯re outside right now!¡± Xie Xiao sounded even more agitated than Shen You. ¡°So is the engagement that you mentioned last time is true?¡± Xie Xiao asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time. ¡°Of course not!¡± Shen You shook her head violently. ¡°I¡¯ve already rejected them!¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in disbelief. ¡°Then how could it be¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not weekend today! What¡¯s wrong with them!¡± Shen You ruffled her hair and became even more agitated. . Xie Xiao sat on Shen You¡¯s bed and watched Shen You pace back and forth. ¡°I think you should tidy up a little first and at least ask them what they¡¯re here for, right?¡± Xie Xiao kindly reminded her. Shen You finally regained some rationality and rushed into the bathroom to wash up. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She quickly asked for help, ¡°System! System! Wake up!¡± ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s so early. What¡¯s the matter?¡± The system sounded a little lazy. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the system? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re still sleeping?¡± Shen You growled in disagreement. ¡°Mind your own business!¡± The system snorted, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Is there any way for me to cancel the engagement with Zhao Nan?¡± Shen You asked anxiously. ¡°Cancel the engagement?¡± The system sounded a little distressed. ¡°Yes!¡± Shen You thought about it seriously and said, ¡°It¡¯s best if I don¡¯t have any contact with him in the future!¡± ¡°This¡­ is going to be difficult!¡± The system rejected without hesitation. ¡°Then we should at least solve this problem in front of us first!¡± Shen You said with the next best thing. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult to cancel the engagement.¡± The system sounded a little hesitant. ¡°Say it! How do we solve it!¡± Shen You couldn¡¯t care less and asked anxiously. ¡°Just get Zhao Nan to get engaged to another person!¡± The system said straightforwardly. ¡°Nonsense! I¡¯m asking you what to do!¡± Shen You clenched her fists tightly, trying to prevent herself from exploding. ¡°I can help you redeem for framing others!¡± The system said with a chuckle. ¡°Framing others?¡± Shen You was very confused about the system¡¯s strange exchange content. ¡°Yes! You can transfer what you don¡¯t like to your designated person,¡± the system introduced seriously. ¡°But, this operation requires you to pay a small price!¡± The system didn¡¯t forget to add. ¡°What price?¡± Shen You immediately asked. ¡°It means that you may be in a daze for a period of time¡­¡± the system said carefully. ¡°A period of time? How long is that?¡± Shen you asked cautiously. Due to the system¡¯s unreliable behavior, Shen You felt that it was better to ask everything before making a decision. ¡°About three days!¡± The system estimated and said. Shen You frowned and thought about it. Three days for a lifetime seemed to be worth it. ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll do it!¡± Shen You slapped her thigh and decided. The system let out a ¡°Ding¡± sound and then sent out an order. ¡°Framing Others¡± had been redeemed. Please specify the person to frame! Shen You thought about it seriously. In her previous life, she had tried hard to woo Zhao Nan but to no avail. In the end, Zhao Nan and Shen Jiao got engaged. It seemed that as long as they got engaged in advance, it would not interfere with the fate of others. ¡°Let it be Shen Jiao!¡± Shen You said seriously. ¡°Roger!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded again. The moment Shen You walked out of the bathroom, she bumped into Xie Xiao. ¡°Why did you go in for so long?¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You with her face full of nervousness. Shen You shook her head and smiled, ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to clear my head.¡± Xie Xiao then pushed Shen You out, ¡°Hurry up and get rid of those troubles!¡± Shen You was pushed out of the room and came to the coffee shop. However, she was shocked by the imposing manner in front of her. Li Ru was sitting on the sofa with Shen Po and Shen Jun beside her. Shen Jiao was sitting on the sofa on the other side. She looked like she was gloating. ¡°Mom! Eldest Brother!¡± Shen You greeted Li Ru and Shen Po, ignoring Shen Jun and Shen Jiao. Shen Jun was about to explode, but Shen Jiao pulled him back. She shook her head slightly at Shen Jun, and Shen Jun immediately calmed down. ¡°It¡¯s so early in the morning, why are you all here? Is there anything?¡± Shen You looked at the group of people in front of her, pretending not to know what had happened. Li Ru¡¯s mouth moved, but she didn¡¯t know how to open her mouth. Chapter 57 - Call off the Engagement? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You looked at Li Ru and then Shen Jiao. ¡°What? The whole family is mobilized early in the morning?¡± Shen You said and then looked at Li Ru again. Li Ru hesitated for a moment and then looked at Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao crossed her legs and leaned against the sofa. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. ¡°I heard that the matter about your engagement last time wasn¡¯t settled.¡± ¡°Mom brought us here early this morning to ask for a definite answer from you,¡± Shen Jiao said, as if she was Li Ru¡¯s spokesperson. Shen You looked at Shen Jiao and sneered. ¡°What? It¡¯s your turn to decide my marriage?¡± ¡°No! Xiao You, you have misunderstood!¡± Li Ru quickly explained. . ¡°Xiao Jiao cares about you,¡± Li Ru said as she stood up and walked to Shen You¡¯s side. She held Shen You¡¯s hand and said, ¡°The Shen family and the Zhao family already have an engagement. Recently, it so happened¡­¡± As Li Ru said this, she paused for a moment and then said, ¡°I saw that you and Zhao Nan got along quite well, so I was thinking to quickly finalize the marriage!¡± ¡°You saw?¡± Shen You suddenly felt a little funny, ¡°From spy?¡± ¡°Shen You, why are you talking in this manner!¡± Shen Jun suddenly became angry, ¡°Don¡¯t be so shameless!¡± ¡°If not? Why didn¡¯t I know that I and Zhao Nan are getting along quite well?¡± Shen You snorted and asked. ¡°Moreover, I have never agreed to get engaged with him!¡± Shen You emphasized her position again. ¡°If you really need someone to represent the Shen family to get engaged with the Zhao family, then I think Shen Jiao is the most suitable candidate!¡± Shen You directly expressed her opinion. ¡°No!¡± Shen Po and Shen Jun spoke in unison again. Shen Po¡¯s gaze revealed dissatisfaction. He walked towards Shen You and stared at Shen You from top to bottom. ¡°As a member of the Shen family, you should shoulder your responsibilities!¡± Shen You suddenly found it funny. ¡°Since when did the Shen family treat me as a member of the Shen family?¡± ¡°You!¡± Shen Po was a little anxious and did not know how to wake up Shen You¡¯s stubborn mind. Shen You waited quietly, waiting for Shen Po¡¯s anger and waiting for the system to change her fate for her! Li Ru looked at Shen You and knew that she could not persuade her daughter no matter what. However, the Shen family needed to get married to the Zhao family as soon as possible so that the Shen family could get through this difficult situation. She could not tell any outsider about this. Other than her children, she did not tell anyone else. Initially, Li Ru had wanted Shen Jiao to get engaged to Zhao Nan instead of Shen You. After all, Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan were childhood sweethearts. They knew each other well and had a strong foundation in their relationship. Moreover, before Shen You returned, everyone was certain that Zhao Nan¡¯s engagement was with Shen Jiao. However, now that Shen You was back, everything was different now! Li Ru took a deep breath and held Shen You¡¯s hand again. ¡°Xiao You, listen to Mom¡­¡± Shen You pulled Li Ru¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Mom, you listen to me first!¡± Li Ru frowned, but she knew that she couldn¡¯t force it. She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, ¡°Okay! You go first!¡± Shen You took a deep breath and said, ¡°Ever since I found out that Zhao Nan and I were engaged, I had tried to get close to him.¡± ¡°But, I think you all know the outcome.¡± Shen you smiled bitterly. ¡°The truth is Zhao Nan doesn¡¯t like me! The person he wants to get engaged to is definitely not me!¡± Shen you said firmly. ¡°So, Mom, no matter what the reason is for urging me to get engaged¡­¡± Shen You said firmly, ¡°Getting me engaged to Zhao Nan might be a backfire!¡± Li Ru frowned as she listened to Shen You. She thought about it carefully and realized that it might really have such an effect! Suddenly, Li Ru was a little uncertain. She turned her head to look at Shen Po. Shen Po listened to Shen You¡¯s words and was also a little hesitant. He knew very well what this engagement meant to the Shen family. However, as the eldest son of the Shen family, the Shen family¡¯s bloodline could not allow any mishaps to happen! Shen Po was about to say something when Shen Jun walked over. He said to Li Ru and Shen Po, ¡°Mom! Brother! I think Shen You Is right!¡± ¡°If Zhao Nan really dislikes Shen You, then it¡¯s better not to get engaged!¡± Shen Jun said seriously. ¡°Why don¡¯t we call off the engagement?¡± Shen Jun suggested. To Shen Jun, the engagement was like a time bomb that could explode at any time. And the person injured in the explosion might not be Shen You, but migh be Shen Jiao! No matter what, Shen Jun could not let such a thing happen! Chapter 58 - Replace! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As soon as Shen Jun finished speaking, Li Ru and Shen Po rejected him at the same time, ¡°Impossible!¡± Shen Po glared at Shen Jun fiercely. It was obvious that he did not expect his idiot brother to be so stupid! Calling off the engagement now was simply pushing the Shen family to a dead end. However, seeing that Shen You did not agree, and Zhao Nan¡¯s attitude was still unclear¡­ The candidate for the engagement had really become the most difficult problem now! Shen You slowly withdrew her hand, walked to the bar counter, and made a cup of coffee for herself. She was not in a hurry! She could wait! Finally, Li Ru gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Xiao You, I still need to discuss this matter with your father.¡± ¡°Can you come home for dinner tonight?¡± Li Ru asked carefully, as if she was afraid that Shen You would refuse.. Shen You smiled and said, ¡°Sure!¡± Shen You was sure that she would not be the one forced to get married tonight! Finally, she sent Li Ru and the others away. Shen You stretched and took two gulps of coffee. The system sent her a reminder, ¡°The framing has been completed!¡± Shen You¡¯s smile widened, and she looked a little excited. Xie Xiao walked out of the house. When she saw Shen You¡¯s expression, she could not help but tease her, ¡°What¡¯s going on? You¡¯re smiling like a fool!¡± Shen You did not mind Xie Xiao¡¯s words at all. She chuckled even more happily, ¡°I¡¯ve gotten rid of a big problem!¡± ¡°However, I think we¡¯ll have another problem next!¡± Xie Xiao said as she handed the school bag to Shen You. ¡°Ah!¡± Shen You exclaimed as she grabbed Xie Xiao¡¯s bag and ran out. ¡°Oh no! We¡¯re going to be late!¡± The two of them rushed in just a second before the school gate closed. As if they had just escaped death, the two of them walked into the classroom together, chatting and laughing. The moment they walked into the classroom, Shen You saw Huo Xiao looking up at her. Huo Xiao¡¯s gaze was a little strange, but Shen You couldn¡¯t tell what it meant. Shen You frowned and walked into the classroom. After sitting down in her seat, Shen You turned her head to look at Huo Xiao, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Huo Xiao¡¯s gaze settled on Shen You¡¯s face before he averted his gaze and said, ¡°Nothing.¡± Shen You instinctively felt that something must have happened to Huo Xiao, but for some reason, her brain just couldn¡¯t think straight. Shen You suddenly remembered what the system had said about ¡°being in a daze¡±! Did it mean becoming dumb? Shen You suddenly remembered that this d*mned system often did these d*mned things! Shen You sighed to herself, ¡°Let¡¯s just take things as they come!¡± Since they had already gone this far, it was obvious that they couldn¡¯t avoid it anymore. Let¡¯s just take it as giving the brain a few days off! Shen You was quite open-minded, but Huo Xiao felt that Shen You was simply playing dumb with him. This kind of emotion made Huo Xiao feel a little frustrated. That day, he heard that Zhao Nan had bought a present for his fianc¨¦e. And the next morning, Huo Xiao saw Zhao Nan personally give the present to Shen You. Although to Hua Xiao Shen You was just a deskmate, and a disciple, the fact that Shen You was playing dumb still made Huo Xiao feel very uncomfortable! Zhao Nan saw Shen You enter the classroom, but all she did was chatting with Huo Xiao. He also felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since he handed the gift to Shen You that day, she had no reaction at all! Zhao Nan had never been so nervous before! When he knew that the Shen family was anxious to get the Zhao and Shen families to get married as soon as possible, he actually felt a little excited. But on the other hand, Shen You looked as if it had nothing to do with her! Did she not know, or did she not care? This constant guessing made Zhao Nan feel even more frustrated. Shen You clearly felt two strange luck values surging towards her. ¡°System, what¡¯s going on?¡± Shen You asked anxiously. These two luck values merged into her body, but they seemed to collide with each other, making her very uncomfortable! The system did not answer Shen You¡¯s question. Shen You called again twice but she seemed to have lost contact with the system. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The contact with the d*mn system was cut off?¡± Shen You could not help but complain. However, no matter how many times she tried, she was unable to get in contact with the system. Shen You still felt that the two waves of luck seemed to be fighting inside her body, and her whole body was about to explode! She did not know what the reason was, but it made her feel even more irritated. Finally, school was over. Shen You hurriedly walked out of the school gate, wanting to go home and rest as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the classroom door, she was stopped by Shen Jiao. ¡°Shen You, where are you going?¡± ¡°Going back!¡± Shen You looked at Shen Jiao as if she was looking at an idiot. Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze was slightly cold. ¡°Have you forgotten that you¡¯re going home for dinner today?¡± ¡°Ah¡±, she had really forgotten about this matter! Chapter 59 - Let Shen Jiao Marry Zhao Nan Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Jiao did not believe that Shen You was that careless. She assumed that she did not want to call off the engagement with Zhao Nan, but she was afraid that Zhao Nan would reject her and refuse to get engaged to her! Shen You did not know what Shen Jiao was thinking. She only wanted to escape this place as soon as possible. Right now, she could only feel her stomach churning, and was about to throw up. Shen Jiao stared at Shen You as if she was a criminal as she packed up her things and left with her. The two of them arrived at the school gate and saw Shen Po¡¯s car park there. Shen You sighed and knew that she couldn¡¯t escape anymore. The two of them got into Shen Po¡¯s car that was driving all the way back to the Shen family home. Shen Hao, who hadn¡¯t shown up for a long time, also arrived home in the evening. Shen Hao was sitting in the main seat.. When he saw Shen You and Shen Jiao coming back at the same time, his face darkened slightly. ¡°Why are you two so late?¡± Shen Hao asked coldly. Shen You did not answer. She just stood there and waited. She was already used to this man, whom she called her Father, being a serious person. In his heart, there was no fatherly love or filial piety, only a strict concept of respect and inferiority. In front of their parents, children only had the right to lower their heads and say yes. However, Shen Jiao was not an ordinary person! She had long understood Shen Hao¡¯s temper. Shen Hao was a person who was used to being fawned on. As long as she showed enough respect to him, he would treat you as the person he trusted the most! Shen Jiao¡¯s face was beaming with a smile. ¡°Dad! You¡¯re finally back! We were all waiting for you to make a decision!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡±Shen Hao snorted. ¡°I knew it was useless to rely on you guys!¡± Li Ru¡¯s expression was not good either. She looked at Shen You with a troubled expression. Shen Hao looked at Shen You¡¯s indifferent expression and felt even angrier. ¡°Shen You, what do you think about the marriage with the Zhao family?¡± Shen You was stunned for a moment. She blinked and looked at Shen Hao. ¡°Me? I don¡¯t have any thoughts!¡± This was not Shen You¡¯s fault. At this moment, she really did not have any thoughts in her mind. Her only goal was not to get engaged to Zhao Nan! Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Shen Hao was even angrier. ¡°Useless!¡± Shen Hao turned his head and asked Li Ru, ¡°What do you think?¡± Li Ru bit her lower lip and said, ¡°I have talked to Xiao You. I think we let Ah Jiao marry to the Zhao family.¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Shen Po and Shen Jun protested at the same time. Shen Hao waved his hand and stopped the two brothers from speaking. ¡°Will the Zhao family agree?¡± Shen Hao asked. Li Ru nodded and said, ¡°I talked to Mrs. Zhao on the phone. She likes Ah Jiao very much. There should be no problem.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good!¡± Shen Hao seemed to finally let out a sigh of relief. ¡°But¡­¡± Li Ru hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen You and said, ¡°What about Xiao You?¡± Shen Hao frowned and looked at Li Ru, wanting to say that he didn¡¯t need to care about her. But after all, these words were too cold. As a father, it was inappropriate to say this! Shen Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°I will arrange a more suitable marriage for her!¡± Shen You¡¯s mind was blank, but when she heard that Shen Hao was going to arrange a marriage for her, she subconsciously rejected him, ¡°No!¡± Shen Hao frowned and stared at Shen You, ¡°What did you say?¡± Shen You was scared by Shen Hao¡¯s roar and said, ¡°I mean, I¡¯m not in a hurry!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not too late to talk about it after arranging the engagement ceremony between Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan!¡± Shen You took a step back slightly, trying to get as far away as possible from Shen Hao. Shen Hao thought for a moment, nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s good too! After all, you¡¯re still in school¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later!¡± With a few words, Shen Hao pushed the question about Shen You to an unknown future. Shen You was a thousand times willing to make such an arrangement. As long as she was given enough time, she would definitely be able to get away from the Shen family! Shen Jiao heard Shen Hao¡¯s clear arrangements for her. Although her expression appeared to be a little aggrieved, her eyes revealed joy. Finally, the marriage with the Zhao family had returned to her! A mere Shen You dared to compete with her for the position of the Zhao family¡¯s young madam! Shen Jiao suddenly felt a scrutinizing gaze on her. She quickly restrained her emotions and replaced it with an aggrieved gaze to look at the person who was staring at her ¡ª Shen Po. Shen Jiao did not know when it started, but Shen Po always looked at her with a strange gaze. It was as if¡­ he knew everything that was on her mind! This feeling was too terrible! Shen Jiao subconsciously wanted to stay as far away from Shen Po as possible! Chapter 60 - Invitation Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Shen family had decided on the idea of changing the bride, but they still needed to discuss it with the Zhao family. After all, this matter was related to the future of the two families¡¯ children, and it was not something that could simply be changed! The two families had agreed to have a meal together this weekend to explain this matter clearly. When Shen You returned to the coffee shop, she ran into Huo Xiao. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Shen You looked at Huo Xiao¡¯s somewhat anxious expression and asked. ¡°Are you getting engaged?¡± Huo Xiao asked without any reason. Shen You frowned, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure yet.¡± ¡°Not sure?¡± Huo Xiao¡¯s expression became even stranger. . ¡°Yes!¡± Shen you answered unconsciously. She only felt that her mind was a mess, and she felt very sleepy. ¡°Is there anything else? I¡¯m very tired, and I want to rest.¡± As Shen You spoke, she wanted to go past Huo Xiao and return to her room. Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment and handed an envelope to Shen You. ¡°There¡¯s a reception at my house tomorrow. I hope you can come.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Shen You replied and took the envelope from Huo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go in first. I¡¯m really tired.¡± Huo Xiao nodded, turned sideways, and let Shen You walk in. Huo Xiao watched as Shen You walked step by step to the corner until she disappeared. Xie Xiao walked to Huo Xiao¡¯s side. He looked at Huo Xiao¡¯s stunned expression and then at the direction where Shen You disappeared. ¡°You¡¯re looking for Shen You? Is there anything?¡± Xie Xiao asked curiously. Huo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Xie Xiao pursed his lips and said, ¡°Her family came early this morning. They said they want her to go back and get engaged or something.¡± ¡°Yeah, I know!¡± Huo Xiao replied with a gloomy expression. Xie Xiao frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what her family is thinking, forcing her to get engaged.¡± ¡°She clearly doesn¡¯t want to!¡± Xie Xiao could not help but complain. ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to?¡± Huo Xiao¡¯s expression changed instantly. ¡°Yeah! I don¡¯t know who she is getting engaged to. But from what she said, she doesn¡¯t like the other party!¡± Xie Xiao said affirmatively. For some reason, Huo Xiao suddenly felt that the part of his chest that had been clogged up all this time seemed to be a little comfortable. He thanked Xie Xiao and left under Xie Xiao¡¯s puzzled gaze. Xie Xiao blinked his eyes, not knowing what Huo Xiao was up to this time! The next day, the Shen family and the Zhao family made an appointment at the Shen family¡¯s restaurant. This restaurant was considered the Shen family¡¯s ancestral property, and had been open for nearly a hundred years. The Shen family had arrived at the restaurant early in the morning to prepare, and they planned to have a good talk with the Zhao family. Shen You walked into the restaurant in a daze, went to the private room, found a sofa seat by the window, and sat down. It had been two days, and Shen You felt that her mind was in a mess, and she was very tired. She did not know if this was the aftereffect of ¡®redeeming privileges¡¯, but she felt that she was not very clear-headed. She leaned against the sofa seat and rubbed her head hard. Other than the head of the Shen family, Shen Hao, and his wife, Li Ru, the only people who came to ¡°negotiate¡± today were the parties involved, Shen You and Shen Jiao. As Shen Po and Shen Jun did not agree to changing the bride, their parents kicked them out of the ¡°negotiation¡± team. And Shen Rong was just a child, there was no need for him to get involved. Shen Jiao sat beside her parents the whole time. She wore a fitted chinese-style long dress and looked gentle and generous. Compared to Shen Jiao, Shen You, who was dressed in a sports outfit, did not seem to respect this matter. Shen Hao looked at Shen You¡¯s sitting posture and frowned even more. He said to Li Ru, ¡°We have to change this bride! Otherwise, we will lose face for the Shen family!¡± Although Shen Hao¡¯s voice was not loud, it still reached Shen You¡¯s ears. Shen You ignored him and continued to squint her eyes, trying to keep herself awake. She had a feeling that Huo Xiao seemed to have said something to her yesterday, but she could not remember it for a while. The Zhao family arrived as scheduled. Zhao Nan arrived at the restaurant with his parents. After entering the private room, Zhao Nan¡¯s expression changed slightly when he saw that Shen Jiao and Shen You were both there. His parents suddenly mentioned that they were going to meet the Shen family today. Zhao Nan originally thought that they were going to discuss the engagement, but now it seemed that there were other matters! Zhao Nan ignored Shen Jiao¡¯s burning gaze and looked around Shen You. He felt that she did not have much energy and seemed different from usual. The parents of both parties greeted each other warmly. After drinking a cup of tea, the small talk was over and they officially got down to business. Chapter 61 - Not Happy to Change the Person? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Ah Fang, about what I told you yesterday, do you think¡­ it¡¯s okay?¡± Li Ru asked Madam Zhao tentatively. Madam Zhao and her husband looked at each other. They glanced at Shen You and then at Shen Jiao. Madam Zhao smiled and said, ¡°Ah Jiao has been obedient since she was young. We all know that.¡± ¡°However, this marriage is the children¡¯s lifelong happiness. We think it¡¯s best to ask for their own opinions,¡± Madam Zhao said with smile on her face. Li Ru paused and said to Madam Zhao, ¡°I know that you are worried about the children¡¯s future..¡± ¡°Zhao Nan and Ah Jiao are childhood sweethearts. Their relationship is naturally deep,¡± Li Ru said with a smile. ¡°Although the engagement then was for Xiao You, after all, she was staying out for so many years,¡± Li Ru continued, looking at Shen Jiao lovingly. ¡°After so many years, we have watched Ah Jiao and Zhao Nan grow up together and have long seen them as a couple.¡± Li Ru grabbed Shen Jiao¡¯s hand and patted it gently. ¡°If it¡¯s because of our family matter and we ruin the children¡¯s previous relationship, I would feel a little guilty,¡± Li Ru said as sincerely as possible. Madam Zhao naturally knew what Li Ru was thinking. She smiled and said, ¡°Of course I know that.¡± ¡°For now, it¡¯s up to the children to decide,¡± Madam Zhao said. ¡°After all, we¡¯re getting old. We can¡¯t care about these things anymore!¡± The smile on Madam Zhao¡¯s face deepened as she looked at Zhao Nan. After listening to what Madam Zhao and Li Ru had said, Zhao Nan finally understood the purpose of this visit. He looked at Shen You coldly. Shen You, on the other hand, looked as if it had nothing to do with her. She was still in a daze by the window. Zhao Nan gritted his teeth and asked Shen You, ¡°Shen You, did you agree to this?¡± Shen You looked at Zhao Nan in a daze, and then looked in the direction of Li Ru and Shen Jiao. Then, she nodded and said, ¡°Yes! I agreed!¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s gaze became even colder. Shen Jiao interrupted at this moment, ¡°Brother Nan, Shen You has just returned home not long ago. She has always yearned for freedom and doesn¡¯t want to be bound.¡± ¡°Why do you have to force her?¡± Shen Jiao spoke with sincerity. It seemed like she was truly thinking for Shen You. Shen You also looked at Zhao Nan seriously and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! You don¡¯t like me, and I don¡¯t want to make you feel uncomfortable!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go our separate ways and be safe!¡± Shen You¡¯s mind was in a mess, and the words that came out of her mouth were as if they did not go through her brain. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You¡¯s expression, and his face became even gloomier. ¡°Is the marriage of Zhao Nan something that you can simply change?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys taking the Zhao family too lightly!¡± Zhao Nan said angrily. It could not be seen whether he was angry at the Shen family¡¯s contempt or something else¡­ Madam Zhao looked at her son¡¯s angry look, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She said to Li Ru apologetically, ¡°You see, the children¡¯s thoughts are not quite the same as ours.¡± ¡°This marriage, I think it¡¯s better¡­¡± Madam Zhao said, but was stopped by Zhao Nan¡¯s words. ¡°Let¡¯s forget about this marriage!¡± Zhao Nan said fiercely. ¡°Since the Shen family is not sincere, I, Zhao Nan, am not a casual person!¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s tone sounded very angry. He stood up and said to Shen Hao and Li Ru, ¡°Since the Shen family can¡¯t keep their promise, it¡¯s fine if we don¡¯t get engaged!¡± When Shen Hao and Li Ru heard this, they immediately panicked. Shen Jiao¡¯s face instantly turned black, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes. Shen You, who was originally waiting to reap the benefits, was now shocked by Zhao Nan¡¯s words. ¡°Eh? How¡­¡± How did this happen? Didn¡¯t she pass the marriage to Shen Jiao? How did it turn out this way? Shen You couldn¡¯t accept it! She stood up and tried hard to suppress the confused feeling in her head. She asked Zhao Nan, ¡°Why are you throwing a tantrum?¡± ¡°When I chased after you in the past, it was you who didn¡¯t give me a d*mn!¡± Shen You told her thoughts in a daze. ¡°Now we change the person, why aren¡¯t you happy?!¡± The more Shen You thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. ¡°Isn¡¯t Shen Jiao great? Don¡¯t you guys spend a lot of time together?!¡± The more Shen You said, the more anxious she sounded. ¡°Isn¡¯t it perfect to get engaged to her? Why are you so awkward?!¡± Shen You was so angry that she couldn¡¯t care less about what she was saying. Chapter 62 - System Bug Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhao Nan¡¯s face turned red and white, being angered by Shen You. After a long while, he panted and said, ¡°Either we get engaged accordingly or call off the engagement! You see for yourself!¡± After saying that, Zhao Nan stood up and left without looking back. Everyone was shocked by Zhao Nan¡¯s imposing manner and the scene was a little awkward. Shen You looked at Zhao Nan who left angrily and muttered, ¡°This person is really hard to please!¡± Shen Jiao, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression on her face as she sat on her original spot without saying a word. After the Zhao family members left, Li Ru and Shen Hao looked at each other with eyes filled with embarrassment and helplessness. Although they both felt that Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan should be a perfect couple¡­. Obviously Zhao Nan did not necessarily think so! They did not know if the Zhao family felt that changing the bride was not respectful to them¡­ Or maybe this marriage with the Shen family was not what they wanted at all? After the Zhao family left, Shen You bade goodbye to her parents and returned to the coffee shop alone. Shen Hao and his wife couldn¡¯t care less about Shen You at this juncture. All that they were thinking about was what they could do if the Zhao family insisted on calling off the engagement! After all, they could not count on Shen You! Shen You returned to her room and lay on the bed. Her eyes were filled with Zhao Nan¡¯s glare at her. She did not know why Zhao Nan was so angry and why he had such an hurting expression on his face. Shen You felt a little distressed. She grabbed the doll on the bed and slammed it on her head. And she actually fell asleep! In her dream, she dreamed of herself in her past life. That Shen You who followed behind Zhao Nan humbly. At that time, every look and action from Zhao Nan would affect Shen You¡¯s mood. Suddenly, Zhao Nan, who always had his back to Shen You, walked towards her with a box in his hand. Shen You looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s expression, and for some reason, she felt a chill run down her spine. She was afraid, with a fear that came from the bottom of her heart¡­ Shen You desperately retreated, but Zhao Nan was approaching her step by step. Shen You wanted to scream, but she found that she couldn¡¯t. Zhao Nan took the box and finally walked in front of Shen You. Shen You looked at the smile on Zhao Nan¡¯s face. The next second, the box opened¡­ ¡°No!¡± Shen You screamed and suddenly opened her eyes. In front of her was the familiar ceiling. Shen You desperately breathed. She felt the cold air enter her lungs through her nose. She was lying on the bed, drenched in sweat. Only the cold air could make her feel better. ¡°System!¡± Shen You shouted. ¡°Coming, coming!¡± The system¡¯s voice rang in Shen You¡¯s mind. ¡°Why isn¡¯t it working?¡± Shen You¡¯s voice sounded cold, as if she was suppressing her anger. ¡°What¡¯s not working?¡± The system was baffled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t that d*mn frame-up work!¡± Shen You finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and asked anxiously. ¡°Well¡­ something must have affected the effect!¡± The system¡¯s voice was uncertain. ¡°What effect?¡± Shen You asked again. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to ask you about that!¡± The system directly threw the blame to Shen You. Shen You took a deep breath and said, ¡°Is this redemption function of yours that unreliable?¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s not effective, then return my luck value to me!¡± Shen you said fiercely. ¡°Goods sold are not returnable!¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded especially annoying. Shen You took another breath and said, ¡°Then what do we do now? Do We Still Have to get engaged?¡± ¡°Perhaps you can consider talking to Zhao Nan,¡± the system kindly reminded her. ¡°Talk?¡± Shen You frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head, ¡°No!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with him!¡± Shen You shook her head desperately, and refused to accept the system¡¯s suggestion. ¡°Escaping the problem doesn¡¯t solve it!¡± The system said solemnly, sounding very educational. Shen You took a deep breath and didn¡¯t want to bother with the system anymore. She knew that it wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to talk to Zhao Nan, but that she didn¡¯t know how to talk to Zhao Nan now! She originally thought that she could rely on the system to solve this problem, but now it was back to her. According to her memories from her previous life, Zhao Nan despised her all the time just to get engaged to Shen Jiao. But now, how did everything change? Shen You slowly closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind. Since the redemption failed, Shen You¡¯s brain seemed to be able to function as normal again. At least, she didn¡¯t have the strange feeling like before. But, she seemed to have forgotten something very important¡­ Chapter 63 - Attending the Party Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door came from outside. Xie Xiao¡¯s voice followed, ¡°Shen You! Get up quickly!¡± Shen You was lying on the bed in a daze. She jumped up from the bed when she heard the knocking on the door. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Shen you cried out in shock. Xie Xiao pushed the door open and stuck her head in. ¡°I got the invitation to the Huo family¡¯s party. Do you want to come along?¡± ¡°The Huo family¡¯s party?¡± The scene of Huo Xiao coming to look for her suddenly flashed in Shen You¡¯s mind. She had forgotten about Huo Xiao! ¡°Okay! Wait for me!¡± Shen You answered quickly.. She then put on a dress and walked out. Xie Xiao looked at the dress on Shen You and her expression was a little strange. ¡°You¡­ are you wearing this?¡± Shen You looked at herself up and down. ¡°It doesn¡¯t look good?¡± ¡°Not really so. It¡¯s just that ¡­¡± Xie Xiao thought for a moment and then waved her hand. ¡°Ah, forget it! Let¡¯s hurry up. It¡¯s about to start!¡± Xie Xiao pulled Shen You and walked out. Xie Chen was already waiting in the car outside. ¡°Sister Chen, sorry for the trouble!¡± Shen You got into the car and said sincerely to Xie Chen. ¡°Not al all! Xiao Xiao told me early in the morning to send you both!¡± Xie Chen said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m also concerned if you two young girls go on your own.¡± Xie Chen turned his head and said to Xie Xiao, ¡°Remember to call me when you want to come back!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Xie Xiao immediately saluted, looking both obedient and cute. Seeing the interaction between Xie Chen and Xie Xiao, a smile gradually appeared on Shen You¡¯s face. If only her family could do the same! Shaking her head, Shen You dismissed the unrealistic thoughts in her mind. This was actually very good. With the Xie sisters, Shen You could always feel the warmth of home. Arriving at the entrance of the Huo family¡¯s mansion, Xie Chen stopped her car under a tree not far away. ¡°Wait for me at this place later.¡± Xie Chen did not forget to remind them when they got out of the car. The two girls nodded obediently and watched Xie Chen drive away. Xie Xiao held Shen You¡¯s hand and walked quickly toward the Huo family¡¯s mansion. The Huo family¡¯s mansion was at least the size of two five-star hotels. The Huo family chose to hold this party at their home because it was convenient and also they wanted to strictly select the people who would attend the party. After all, not everyone could attend the party organized by the Huo family¡¯s young master! Xie Xiao and Shen You arrived at the main entrance and saw many men and women waiting at the entrance. Shen You recognized a few of them. They were all descendants of aristocratic families with some connections to the Zhao family. When the two of them arrived at the main entrance, they saw a few girls in formal attire looking at them with strange gazes. One of the girls seemed to recognize Shen You and pointed at her, ¡°Isn¡¯t she the one who has been chasing after Zhao Nan¡¯s butt¡­ who is she again?¡± ¡°Hey! Isn¡¯t she the lost daughter of the Shen family?¡± Another girl also teased. ¡°Oh yes! The daughter of the Shen family who grew up in the countryside for more than 10 years!¡± The girl recognized her just now looked at Shen You with a sneer. Shen You had always kept a low profile and ignored them. She had heard too much of this in her previous life. She didn¡¯t want to pay any attention to them. However, Xie Xiao was not satisfied with the other party¡¯s hostility towards Shen You. She stood in front of Shen You, puffed out her chest, and said to the girl, ¡°Where did you come from?¡± When the girl heard this, she frowned and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Little Kid? Why are you interrupting when others are talking?¡± When Xie Xiao heard this, she became even more furious. She was petite to begin with, and she hated it the most when others thought that she was like a small kid. This woman was openly mocking her. Xie Xiao wanted nothing more than to jump up and give her a kick so that she could taste the power of a hobbit! However, Xie Xiao also knew that she was now at the Huo family¡¯s doorstep, and causing trouble would only bring her trouble. Shen You secretly tugged at Xie Xiao¡¯s clothes and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tangle with them. Let¡¯s go in!¡± Xie Xiao said to the girl, ¡°You¡¯d better not bump into me in the future!¡± ¡°Ha! What¡¯s this? A challenge from the dwarves?¡± The girl¡¯s words immediately caused laughter coming from the surroundings. Xie Xiao was so angry that his face turned red. ¡°What about you? Big boobs and no brains?¡± The girl stuck out her chest proudly. ¡°You can see that my boobs are big, too! It¡¯s much better than your airport!¡± Xie Xiao jumped up excitedly and wanted to fight with the girl. Just then, a car sped past them. The door opened and Zhu Ge got out of the car. When he saw the scene in front of him, he asked, ¡°Why is it so lively?¡± Chapter 64 - The Door That Could Not Enter Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Eh? Zhu Ge, why are you here?¡± The girl who had been arrogant earlier immediately became gentle when she saw Zhu Ge. She walked towards Zhu Ge with a smile in her eyes. Zhu Ge looked at the girl, ¡°An¡­ An what?¡± ¡°An Qian!¡± The smile on the girl¡¯s face did not fade as she said to Zhu Ge. ¡°Oh!¡± Zhu Ge responded and ignored her. Zhu Ge walked over to Shen You and Xie Xiao and asked, ¡°Why are you girls here?¡± Xie Xiao glared at the girl again and said, ¡°They¡¯re blocking the entrance. We can¡¯t get in!¡± Zhu Ge turned his head to look at the girl and frowned.. ¡°Why are you girls blocking the entrance?¡± Another girl beside him sighed. ¡°Without an invitation, we can¡¯t get in at all!¡± What that girl said made the people around them look dejected. An Qian¡¯s eyes moved and she walked towards Zhu Ge. She held Zhu Ge¡¯s arm with one hand. ¡°Zhu Ge, do you have an invitation? Can you bring me in?¡± ¡°I do, but¡­¡± Zhu Ge lowered his head to look at the girl, then looked at Xie Xiao¡¯s murderous gaze. ¡°We¡¯re not familiar with each other. Isn¡¯t it inconvenient?¡± Zhu Ge said sincerely. ¡°Why would it be inconvenient!¡± The girl said with a smile, ¡°We¡¯ll be familiar with each other today!¡± Xie Xiao narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge awkwardly grinned and said, ¡°Well, it¡¯s still not very good!¡± As he spoke, he pushed An Qian¡¯s hand off his arm. Xie Xiao pulled Shen You and walked past An Qian. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Xiao You! Let¡¯s go in!¡± Xie Xiao walked past and deliberately pushed An Qian away with her shoulder. An Qian cried out in surprise and fell to the side of Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge quickly stretched out a finger and poked An Qian¡¯s arm to keep her stable. After making sure An Qian could stand steadily, Zhu Ge quickly withdrew his hand and followed Xie Xiao and Shen You toward the door. An Qian watched the three of them leave. Her lips were tightly pursed, and her hands were twisting the hem of her dress. Xie Xiao and the other two came to the door. The security guard reached out and stopped them. ¡°Please show me your invitation.¡± Zhu Ge took out his own invitation. The security guard checked the invitation, then bowed and gestured for Zhu Ge to enter. Xie Xiao also took out an invitation from her bag and handed it to the security guard. ¡°The two of us are here together.¡± The security guard glanced at the invitation letter and said apologetically to Xie Xiao, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Each invitation letter can only allow one person to enter.¡± Xie Xiao looked at the security guard and said, ¡°This invitation letter did not state this!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. This is the requirement. Please don¡¯t make things difficult for us!¡± The security guard said sincerely. Xie Xiao¡¯s brows were tightly knitted, she didn¡¯t know what to do for a moment. Zhu Ge had just taken two steps ahead when he saw that the two of them were blocked outside the door. He turned around and walked back. Seeing this, An Qian crossed her arms in front of her chest and walked over with a smile. ¡°I thought you really had an invitation letter. So you¡¯re here to freeload!¡± An Qian¡¯s smile was very arrogant. Even Zhu Ge, who had always thought that girls were beautiful, couldn¡¯t help but look at her with disgust. An Qian¡¯s laughter made Xie Xiao even angrier. ¡°At least we have an invitation. It¡¯s better than you coming here to pay for it!¡± Xie Xiao said angrily. ¡°Who is paying for it?!¡± An Qian seemed to have been hit by a sore spot as she roared angrily. A few onlookers immediately walked over, wanting to stop the two from arguing. After all, they were at the front gate of the Huo family. If they really made a scene, it would not end well. Xie Xiao looked at An Qian angrily. Then, she stuffed the invitation letter into Shen You¡¯s hand. ¡°You go in!¡± Shen You looked at the invitation letter in her hand. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xie Xiao. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Just come out earlier later!¡± Shen You opened her mouth and saw Xie Xiao standing in front of her like a hen protecting a chick. Shen You suddenly felt that Xie Xiao was very cute. At this moment, Shen Jiao walked over from afar. ¡°What happened?¡± Shen Jiao looked at the tense atmosphere and asked curiously. ¡°Shen Jiao, you¡¯re finally here! Your sister is so shameless!¡± ¡°How dare she attend the party without an invitation!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have one either!¡± Xie Xiao retorted rudely. Shen Jiao looked at Shen You and smiled. ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t Mom give you an invitation?¡± Shen You stared coldly at Shen Jiao and didn¡¯t reply. Shen Rong was following behind Shen Jiao. When he saw Shen You, he greeted her, ¡°Sister You!¡± When Shen You saw Shen Rong, the expression on her face instantly became less tense. She smiled at Shen Rong and asked, ¡°You¡¯re here, too?¡± ¡°Sister Jiao said that she wanted to bring me to see the world!¡± Shen Rong scratched his head in embarrassment. There was pride in Shen Jiao¡¯s eyes. Chapter 65 - Why Are You Here As Well? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Jiao grabbed Shen Rong¡¯s hand and walked towards the main door. Shen Jiao handed the invitation letter to the security guard and pulled Shen Fu towards the main door. ¡°Miss, I¡¯m sorry, this invitation letter can only allow you to enter.¡± The security guard dutifully guarded the main door. Shen Jiao frowned slightly and looked a little dissatisfied. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°This is the rules. I¡¯m sorry, Miss.¡± The security guard maintained his previous statement and did not compromise at all. Shen Jiao felt that she had lost face. She wanted to flare up, but she knew that she had no right to do so. . She gritted her teeth and thought about how to solve this predicament for herself. Shen Rong stood by the side and looked innocent. ¡°I can¡¯t go in?¡± ¡°Why not I go back first¡­¡± Shen Rong had no choice but to compromise. The Huo family was a wealthy family. Compared to the Huo family, the Shen family was like a loach in a pond. Shen Rong knew his identity, but he only listened to Shen Jiao and felt that he might have a chance to visit the Huo family. He didn¡¯t have much hope in the first place, so he wasn¡¯t really disappointed. Shen You looked at Shen Rong¡¯s disappointed expression and thought for a moment before walking forward. Shen You handed the invitation letter back to Xie Xiao and pulled her inside. ¡°Hey!¡± Xie Xiao almost fell down when Shen You pulled her. When they reached the entrance, Shen You took out the invitation letter that Huo Xiao had given her and handed it to the security guard. ¡°Sorry for the trouble!¡± The security guard looked at the invitation letter and was slightly surprised. He looked at the invitation card and then looked at Shen You¡¯s face again. After confirming it, he said, ¡°Please come in!¡± Shen You looked at the invitation letter in her hand. The color was not quite the same as Xie Xiao¡¯s and Zhu Ge¡¯s. She asked tentatively, ¡°Can¡­ can I bring one person in?¡± The security guard nodded heavily. ¡°Yes! You can bring as many people as you wish!¡± The security guard¡¯s expression did not look like he was joking at all. Shen You gestured at Shen Rong, ¡°Come in!¡± Shen Rong pointed at his nose in surprise. When he walked past the security guard, he subconsciously made eye contact with him. The security guard had a smile on his face. He bowed and gestured for Shen Rong to go in. ¡°Eh? Why?¡± An Qian was immediately anxious. ¡°Why can she bring people in?¡± An Qian pointed at Shen You¡¯s back and asked indignantly. ¡°That invitation was personally sent out by the master of the family. There are only three in total,¡± the security guard answered An Qian¡¯s question with the same seriousness as before. ¡°What?¡± An Qian looked at Shen You¡¯s departing figure in shock. She did not know what was going on. Shen Jiao¡¯s expression darkened as she listened to the conversation between An Qian and the security guard. She held the invitation letter in her hand again and walked closer to the Huo residence step by step. Zhu Ge was already waiting for them at the door when they entered the Huo family¡¯s mansion. ¡°Let¡¯s go! It¡¯s very big inside! I¡¯ll lead the way for you!¡± Zhu Ge smiled at Xie Xiao and Shen You. Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge with disdain and said to Shen You, ¡°Let¡¯s go! We¡¯re not going to be with this flirtatious guy.¡± Zhu Ge pointed at his nose and looked at Xie Xiao in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯m flirtatious?¡± Shen Rong smiled and followed behind Shen You and Xie Xiao. When he passed by Zhu Ge, he patted his shoulder. Zhu Ge followed behind the three of them with a wronged expression. He did not notice Shen Jiao looking at them with a gloomy expression. When they walked into the main residence, they saw that there were already quite a number of guests. Today¡¯s party was specially prepared for Huo Xiao. Most of the guests were Huo Xiao¡¯s classmates and friends. Unsurprisingly, Ling Rui and Wu Qi had also arrived. When Wu Qi saw Shen You, she hurried over. ¡°Shen You, you¡¯re here!¡± Shen You smiled. Looking at Wu Qi¡¯s exquisite outfit, she could not help but praise, ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful today!¡± Wu Qi smiled happily. She held Shen You¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll introduce you to a few friends.¡± Shen You wanted to reject, but Wu Qi dragged her to the middle of a group of strangers. Wu Qi chatted with them warmly, but Shen you seemed to be a little out of place. At this time, Ling Rui also walked over and looked at Shen You. ¡°Why are you here as well?¡± Shen You raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ling Rui. ¡°I can¡¯t be here?¡± Ling Rui curled his lips and did not say anything. He turned around and left. Shen You stood where she was and listened to Wu Qi and those people talking about what happened when they were young. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She did not know if they were deliberately or unintentionally, but they kept talking about the various experiences that they had in the countryside when they were young. Those experiences were like jokes in their mouths, but they were also the most common life that Shen You had experienced. Chapter 66 - Hatred Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just when Shen You couldn¡¯t take it anymore, a figure appeared beside Shen You. ¡°You guys chat first. I have something to talk to her.¡± Huo Xiao said as he dragged Shen You away from the crowd. Huo Xiao had noticed Shen You the moment she arrived. However, he had just started chatting with some uncles and had no way of getting out in time. Seeing how uncomfortable Shen You was in the crowd, Huo Xiao suddenly felt that he might have done something wrong by dragging Shen You into this. When Shen You saw that it was Huo Xiao, she immediately smiled. ¡°Huo Xiao! Thank God you came to save me!¡± ¡°Those people just now really suffocated me to death!¡± Shen You followed Huo Xiao to a corner and finally let out a breath. . ¡°Are you okay?¡± Huo Xiao asked nervously. Shen You waved her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that those idiotic questions that they raised just now. I really had to hold it in for a long time so that I did not correct their mistakes!¡± Shen You said, not knowing if she laugh or cry. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in surprise. So it was because she had to hold back from ridiculing those people¡¯s ignorance that made her feel so uncomfortable just now? Huo Xiao suddenly felt that it was a little funny. Perhaps, Shen You was completely different from what he had imagined! She actually was not a daughter of a rich family who was easily defeated with just a few words! Huo Xiao smiled and brought Shen You a drink. ¡°Thank you for coming!¡± Shen You raised her glass and smiled. ¡°Thank you for the invitation!¡± The two chatted for a while before Shen You asked, ¡°Are you really going abroad?¡± Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and asked, ¡°Do you want me to go abroad?¡± Shen You frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said seriously, ¡°No!¡± Shen You answered honestly. If Huo Xiao went abroad, who would she rely on to get the luck value in the future? If she was lucky, maybe she could find a few reliable people, but not all of them would be lucky as Huo Xiao, who had endless luck value! Huo Xiao heard what Shen You said and felt a bit happy in his heart. ¡°Why?¡± Shen You thought for a moment, but she could not tell the truth after all. If she had to tell Huo Xiao that she was reborn, and she was clinging on to him so as to survive, Huo Xiao would probably be scared away by her. Shen You racked her brain for a few reasons, but she did not know which one would truly gain Huo Xiao¡¯s trust. Just then, a figure walked up to the two of them. ¡°What are you two talking about? Can I join in?¡± When Shen You heard this voice, her brows raised slightly. She turned around and saw Zhao Nan walking over as expected. ¡°Zhao Nan, you¡¯re here, too.¡± Huo Xiao greeted Zhao Nan. The tone was that really friendly. Zhao Nan looked at Huo Xiao and then at Shen You. ¡°Why? I can¡¯t join in?¡± Shen You still refused to speak. She held her breath and stared at Zhao Nan. Ever since Zhao Nan refused to replace her, Shen You had been holding a grudge in her chest. Just then, Shen You caught sight of Shen Jiao walking over from the corner of her eyes. Shen You decided that she had to make things clear with Zhao Nan today. ¡°Zhao Nan, about what happened this morning, I think it¡¯s best if we can make things clear.¡± Shen You looked at Zhao Nan with a serious expression. When Huo Xiao heard this, he looked around Shen You¡¯s and Zhao Nan¡¯s faces. ¡°I think I¡¯ve made it clear enough!¡± Zhao Nan did not reject Shen You¡¯s intention to communicate. ¡°If it¡¯s not you, then call off the engagement!¡± Zhao Nan said without hesitation. When Shen You heard this, her expression became even more unsightly. Huo Xiao looked at the two of them, the expressions on his face changed unpredictably. Shen Jiao, who had already walked behind Zhao Nan, stopped in her tracks because of this sentence. The four of them just stood there quietly, without any movement. After a moment, Shen You took a deep breath and said to Zhao Nan, ¡°You don¡¯t like me.¡± Shen You¡¯s tone was very firm without any doubt. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me go?¡± Shen You asked again. Shen You didn¡¯t understand why Zhao Nan was so persistent! Wasn¡¯t he the one who had been avoiding her? ¡°This marriage is between the two of us. What does that have to do with letting go?¡± Zhao Nan asked, which sounded as if it was reasonable. ¡°But, the person who has been with you since you were young is Shen Jiao!¡± Shen You once again expressed her opinion. ¡°But she is not the legitimate daughter of the Shen family!¡± Zhao Nan pointed out the crux of the problem without hesitation. When Shen Jiao heard this, her entire face became stiff and filled with hatred. However, Shen Jiao¡¯s gaze that was filled with hatred was not directed at Zhao Nan, but at Shen You. Shen You could feel that the hatred was deep into her bones! Chapter 67 - Wishing You a Safe Journey! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You was instantly dumbfounded. Shen Jiao¡¯s identity had probably been known by everyone ever since Shen You returned to the Shen family. However, in the Shen family, Shen Jiao¡¯s identity didn¡¯t change. Shen Jiao was already used to being treated as the daughter of the Shen family. Now that she was exposed in public, it was naturally difficult for her to accept it. Especially when that person was Zhao Nan! Shen You looked at Zhao Nan with an ugly expression. ¡°What do I do that you will let me go?¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s expression was also a little strange. The way he looked at Shen You was as if she had hurt him. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and Zhao Nan back and forth with an unfathomable expression.. When Xie Xiao saw the situation, she thought that Zhao Nan was bullying Shen You and she angrily ran over. ¡°Zhao Nan! Today is Huo Xiao¡¯s party. Don¡¯t come and cause trouble!¡± Xie Xiao warned. Zhao Nan glanced at Xie Xiao and did not say anything. He only said, ¡°My stand is very clear. You decide for yourself.¡± After Zhao Nan said that, he turned and left. Shen You looked at Zhao Nan in a daze. Was she indebted to him? Zhu Ge stood in the distance and looked at Zhao Nan with a smile on his face. Xie Xiao pulled Shen You aside and asked softly, ¡°Are you okay? Why is that Zhao Nan so strange?¡± Shen You shook her head and didn¡¯t say anything. Xie Xiao lowered her voice again and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that Shen Jiao? I feel that she¡¯s going to kill someone!¡± Shen You turned her body slightly and tried her best to avoid being seen by Shen Jiao. She then lowered her voice and said, ¡°I feel the same! It¡¯s so scary!¡± The two secretly stuck out their tongues and turned their heads away from Shen Jiao¡¯s direction. Huo Xiao glanced in Shen Jiao¡¯s direction. Shen Jiao immediately retracted her gaze, smiled at Huo Xiao, and left. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and said, ¡°Do you have time for a chat?¡± Shen You glanced at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao was about to say something but was pulled away. ¡°Go away! Can¡¯t you see that he has something to say?¡± Zhu Ge said as he pulled Xie Xiao to the other side. Xie Xiao patted Zhu Ge¡¯s hand that was holding hers and said in an unfriendly tone, ¡°Hey! Let go of me!¡± Zhu Ge pulled Xie Xiao all the way to the corner before letting her go. Xie Xiao glared at Zhu Ge with dissatisfaction and rubbed her wrist that was hurting from being grabbed, ¡°What the hell!¡± Zhu Ge pouted at Shen You and Huo Xiao. ¡°Look at the two of them. They clearly have something to say. Why are you being the third wheel!¡± Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge from the corner of her eyes. ¡°Aren¡¯t you Zhao Nan¡¯s good brother? Do you stab your good brother¡¯s back?¡± Zhu Ge shrugged. There was no trace of guilt in his voice. ¡°It¡¯s his fault for treating Idol badly previously! If he has never experienced loss, how does he learn to cherish it?¡± Xie Xiao did not believe half of Zhu Ge¡¯s words. She had a feeling that this guy just wanted to watch the show! Zhu Ge¡¯s gaze did not leave Shen You and Huo Xiao. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao being taken away by Zhu Ge with some worry. She was only relieved when Zhu Ge let go of her hand. She turned to look at Huo Xiao, ¡°Must you go abroad?¡± Huo Xiao nodded, ¡°Yes!¡± Shen You bit her lip tightly, and said after a moment, ¡°Alright! Then I wish you a safe journey!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Huo Xiao could not help but frown. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask me to stay?¡± Shen You looked at Huo Xiao strangely, ¡°Will you?¡± Huo Xiao did not know how to answer Shen You¡¯s question. Shen You smiled and stepped forward. She extended her hand and patted Huo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. Seeing that he did not have any special reaction, her smile deepened. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I won¡¯t forget you!¡± Hearing Shen You¡¯s words, Huo Xiao did not know if he should be happy or disappointed. More likely, he was helpless. Ling Rui and Wu Qi kept their eyes on Huo Xiao¡¯s direction. After seeing the interaction between Huo Xiao and Shen You, they could not help but gape in surprise. ¡°I heard that Huo Xiao¡¯s mysophobia has improved tremendously. He can actually interact with people in this manner now?¡± Ling Rui could not help but ask. However, Wu Qi¡¯s expression did not look good. She tried to interact with Huo Xiao two days ago, but Huo Xiao still showed obvious avoidance and resistance. But why¡­ why could Shen You do it? Seeing Shen You patting Huo Xiao¡¯s shoulder, Wu Qi¡¯s expression became gloomy. Ling Rui looked at Wu Qi, then at Huo Xiao, and could not help but smile. ¡°Huo Xiao, let¡¯s see what you¡¯re going to do next!¡± Ling Rui laughed in his heart. Chapter 68 - When Is the Engagement? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Halfway through the party, Shen You pulled along Xie Xiao and prepared to leave. Since she had come here to chat with Huo Xiao and her mission had been completed, there was no need for her to stay any longer. Shen Rong was feeling bored staying at the party, so he planned to leave with Shen You. Shen Jiao had already disappeared, so Shen Rong followed closely behind Shen You. Zhu Ge was originally with them, but he suddenly said that he was going to say hello to a friend and then disappeared. Xie Xiao couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. Ever since they entered the party, Zhu Ge had been surrounded by different women. The rumor that the Zhu family¡¯s young master wouldn¡¯t reject anyone was not groundless. Just now, Huo Xiao was called away halfway through their conversation.. Shen You wanted to say goodbye to Huo Xiao, but she could not find him anywhere. Shen You hesitated for a moment and said to Xie Xiao, ¡°Since we can¡¯t find Huo Xiao, let¡¯s leave first.¡± Xie Xiao looked around and asked, ¡°Is it okay?¡± ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ve said what I wanted to say. The rest is not important.¡± Shen You shrugged and turned to walk towards the door. ¡°Hey, Shen You! Where are you going?¡± Ling Rui¡¯s voice came from behind. Shen You turned around and looked at Ling Rui, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Shen You was not familiar with Ling Rui. She felt that Ling Rui was a little strange calling her at this time. Ling Rui walked forward and smiled at Shen You. ¡°I heard about your engagement with Zhao Nan. When is the engagement?¡± Ling Rui spoke very loudly and immediately attracted the curious gazes of many people. Shen You frowned deeply and cursed Ling Rui in her heart. Originally, she had wanted to quickly resolve the marriage with Zhao Nan quietly. But now, everyone knew about it because of this Ling Rui¡¯s big mouth! Many people in the surrounding looked at Shen You strangely. Shen You took a step back slightly, then puffed out her chest and faced those gazes. ¡°Is that the daughter brought back by the Shen family?¡± Someone whispered beside Shen You. ¡°From what Ling Rui said, isn¡¯t she the daughter that the Shen family lost for more than 10 years?¡± Another person echoed. ¡°I heard that she grew up in the countryside!¡± A person who had more information said loudly beside her. A few women in designer clothes looked at Shen You up and down, and their eyes filled with disdain. ¡°Look at her clothes, she doesn¡¯t look like a lady from a rich family.¡± One of them said with a sneer. ¡°How can she compare to Shen Jiao with her appearance?¡± Another person who was more familiar with Shen Jiao sounded even more unfriendly. Someone seemed to have noticed something and pointed at Shen You. ¡°Hey! Look at her forehead. What is that?¡± As soon as that person said that, everyone¡¯s eyes focused on Shen You¡¯s forehead. Shen You subconsciously covered the mark on her forehead. This mark had followed her since she was young. Over the years, many people had despised her because of the mark and called her ugly. She originally thought that she had got used to it. However, in this kind of environment, so many people staring at her mark still made her feel a little uncomfortable. Xie Xiao stood in front of Shen You, trying to block out the discussion for her. Shen You knew Xie Xiao¡¯s good intentions, but she had encountered this situation countless times. She used to think that as long as she endured it, those people would never hurt her again. However, she had been hurt too many times in her previous life, and she understood that enduring it would not bring about kindness. It would only make their malice worse! Shen You took a deep breath and gently pushed Xie Xiao away. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You worriedly. Shen You opened her mouth slightly and said softly, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± She walked forward and said to everyone, ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m the Shen family¡¯s legitimate daughter, Shen You!¡± Shen You¡¯s words immediately caused the crowd to burst into laughter. Shen You did not mind. A smile hung on the corner of her mouth. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you all know.¡± ¡°If you have anything to ask, you can ask me directly. Why do you trouble yourself with guessing?¡± Shen You continued to say. Everyone looked at Shen You¡¯s fearless look and gradually quieted down. Ling Rui didn¡¯t seem to be affected by Shen You. He only asked, ¡°What about your marriage with Zhao Nan?¡± ¡°The Shen family and the Zhao family indeed have an engagement,¡± Shen You said. ¡°When are you two going to get engaged?¡± Somebody interested immediately asked. ¡°I think this needs to be discussed between the two families.¡± Shen You smiled at that person, ¡°So, keep it a secret for now!¡± ¡°Shen You, why do you have to make things so mysterious? Just tell everyone about it!¡± Ling Rui urged again. Shen You stared at Ling Rui, ¡°Why do you want to know?¡± Ling Rui hesitated for a moment, and his eyes looked towards Wu Qi by the side. Chapter 69 - Seducing a Man Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You shifted her gaze to Wu Qi and saw that Wu Qi was looking at her angrily. Shen You didn¡¯t know how she had offended Wu Qi. Could it be that Wu Qi liked Zhao Nan? This thought suddenly entered Shen You¡¯s mind, and she was shocked. ¡°If you have nothing else to ask, then I¡¯ll take my leave first!¡± Shen You said as she led Xie Xiao and Shen Rong out. Zhu Ge, who was standing among the crowd in the distance, waved at Shen You, ¡°Idol! Wait for me!¡± Zhu Ge pushed aside the few people in front of him and walked quickly in Shen You¡¯s direction. Seeing that Zhu Ge and Shen You were so familiar with each other, the few girls who targeted Zhu Ge immediately clenched their teeth. ¡°Shameless! With Zhao Nan, you still want to seduce Zhu Ge!¡± One of the girls said through gritted teeth. ¡°Yeah! I just saw her chatting with Huo Xiao for a long time!¡± Another girl could not help but snort.. ¡°How shameless! She¡¯s so ugly! How dare she come out and seduce a man!¡± The girl who originally wanted but couldn¡¯t talk to Zhu Ge was even angrier. ¡°I wonder what they see in her!¡± A few girls gathered together and began to discuss as if there was no one else around. ¡°Could it be the identity of the Shen family¡¯s daughter?¡± One of them made a bold guess. ¡°What a joke! What does the Shen family have!¡± The other immediately denied. ¡°That¡¯s right! The Huo family, Zhao family, and Zhu family are all above the Shen family!¡± Another few people came over, with their expressions filled with disdain. ¡°Moreover, they might as well choose Shen Jiao!¡± Someone who was closer to Shen Jiao immediately protested. When the people in the surrounding heard this, they could not help but agree. ¡°That¡¯s true. Shen Jiao is the daughter that Madam Shen has nurtured for many years! Her temperament is really different!¡± ¡°I saw Shen Jiao just now. Where did she go?¡± One of them looked around and asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t think I saw her after Zhao Nan left!¡± The other person also looked around but did not see Shen Jiao. Only then did everyone realize that Shen Jiao had disappeared. Shen You and the others walked out of the Huo residence. Xie Xiao took out his phone and was about to contact Xie Chen. Zhu Ge stopped her and said, ¡°Let me send you guys home!¡± Xie Xiao glanced at Zhu Ge with disdain and said, ¡°No need! You should send Xiao Hong, Xiao Lan, and Xiao Bai instead!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao¡¯s expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°You look like you¡¯re jealous.¡± Xie Xiao rolled her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m just not used to your behavior of accepting all women.¡± Zhu Ge said innocently, ¡°Then you¡¯ve really wronged me!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t chase them away! Besides, it¡¯s not my territory.¡± Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao aggrievedly. Xie Xiao wrinkled her nose and didn¡¯t comment on Zhu Ge¡¯s words. Shen You looked at the two of them and was amused. ¡°Alright! Don¡¯t bother Sister Chen!¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll have to trouble you!¡± Shen You said as she walked towards Zhu Ge¡¯s car. Zhu Ge quickly followed behind Shen You and did not forget to wave at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao gritted her teeth and followed behind them. Shen Rong obediently followed behind them and did not dare to make a sound. He had originally followed Shen Jiao out, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Jiao disappeared. Fortunately, he met Shen You. Otherwise, he really didn¡¯t know how to leave this luxurious but remote place by himself. The few of them got into the car. Zhu Ge instructed the driver to send Shen Rong home first. Shen You saw Shen Rong enter the gate then only she told the driver to leave. They went all the way to the coffee shop and entered the door. Xie Chen was surprised to see Shen You and Xie Xiao coming back on their own. Seeing that Zhu Ge was following behind, Xie Chen smiled, understood, and asked, ¡°How was the party? Did you guys have fun?¡± Xie Xiao pouted and snorted, ¡°I wasn¡¯t happy!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Chen looked at Xie Xiao in confusion and asked Shen You. Shen You shrugged. She wasn¡¯t sure why Xie Xiao was throwing a tantrum. Zhu Ge, on the other hand, came up to Xie Chen obediently. ¡°Sister, can you give me a cup of coffee?¡± Xie Chen nodded and immediately turned to prepare the coffee. When Xie Chen was about to pass the coffee to Zhu Ge, Xie Xiao suddenly slapped the table. Xie Chen and Zhu Ge were shocked at the same time. They looked at Xie Xiao in surprise. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Chen looked at Xie Xiao. She didn¡¯t know why she was throwing a tantrum. Zhu Ge also looked at Xie Xiao innocently. He didn¡¯t know why she was angry. Xie Xiao stared at Zhu Ge for a long time before saying, ¡°Pay up!¡± Hearing that, Zhu Ge quickly took out the money and handed it to Xie Chen. Xie Chen took the money and looked at the two clowns helplessly. Chapter 70 - Shen You Fell Sick Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You felt a little tired, so she went back to her room after telling everyone. Only Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge, who were at loggerheads with each other, and Xie Chen, who was eating melons innocently, were left in the coffee shop. Shen You went back to her room, lay on the bed, and called the system. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You¡¯ve been hit?¡± The system¡¯s voice came out slowly. ¡°Mm.¡± Shen You replied and said, ¡°Not really. I just don¡¯t understand why those people like to expose others¡¯ scars so much.¡± ¡°Everyone has the bad habit of bullying the weak. You just have encountered more often than ordinary people,¡± the system commented simply. Shen You suddenly felt a little tired.. ¡°After living for a lifetime, there are some things that I still can¡¯t see through.¡± ¡°No one can truly see through everything and everyone,¡± the system said cautiously. ¡°You have the chance to live a second life, which is already very much luckier than many others,¡± the system reminded her again. ¡°You must remember your purpose for living a second life. Don¡¯t be distracted by other things,¡± the system kindly reminded her. ¡°Perhaps, I should make my life more meaningful?¡± Shen You asked tentatively. ¡°This is your choice!¡± The system continued, not intending to go any further. Shen You thought for a while and said, ¡°Can the mark on my forehead be removed?¡± The system made a strange sound and asked, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s bad?¡± ¡°No, I just don¡¯t want to be different in the crowd,¡± Shen You told the truth. ¡°If you really want that, I can help you,¡± the system promised. ¡°I¡­¡± Shen You hesitated for a moment, ¡°Let me think about it.¡± She still felt that this mark that had followed her since she was young seemed to have some meaning. However, this special mark had brought too many bad memories to her. Shen You did not know whether she should leave the mark or not. She then fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, when she arrived at school, she heard that Huo Xiao had already completed the suspension procedures and would not come back to school anymore. Shen You did not expect that she would really miss the goodbye that she did not bid in time yesterday. For the whole day, Shen You was a little muddle-headed and she did not know what she was doing. It seemed that many things had become meaningless. Zhu Ge looked at Shen You¡¯s listless look and leaned against Zhao Nan¡¯s desk. He said to Zhao Nan, who was staring at Shen You, ¡°Don¡¯t you think that she¡¯s a little distracted?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like¡­ she¡¯s broken up?¡± Zhu Ge voiced out his thoughts. Sure enough, in the next second, Zhao Nan shot a glare at Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge quickly moved away and patted his chest comforting himself. Zhao Nan¡¯s gaze shifted back to Shen You, and his gaze became a little gloomy. Xie Xiao came to Shen You¡¯s side and patted her shoulder. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Feeling down?¡± Shen You rubbed her shoulder and neck and thought for a moment. ¡°I slept without closing the window last night and probably caught a cold.¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in disbelief and then said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me¡­ you¡¯re missing Huo Xiao?¡± Shen You looked up at Xie Xiao and touched her forehead. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever, do you?¡± Xie Xiao slapped Shen You¡¯s hand away. ¡°You can¡¯t blame me for thinking too much!¡± ¡°Since Huo Xiao was gone, you¡¯ve become such!¡± Xie Xiao voiced out the thoughts of most of the class. Shen You sighed and said, ¡°I really feel a little weak. This feeling is very uncomfortable.¡± As Shen You said that, she had a blackout and fell on the desk. Xie Xiao was shocked and cried out. Zhao Nan, who had been staring at them the whole time, was the first to react. He rushed towards Shen You. He shook Shen You and called her name. But Shen you still did not move. Xie Xiao was so scared that she did not know what to do. Zhao Nan made a prompt decision. He carried Shen You and ran in the direction of the infirmary. The teacher in the infirmary was not around. Zhao Nan placed Shen You on the bed. When he rushed out to look for the teacher, he ran into Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge who were rushing over. ¡°Look after her! I¡¯ll go get some help!¡± Zhao Nan said as he rushed to the teacher¡¯s office. Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge entered the infirmary together and saw the pale-faced Shen You lying quietly on the bed. No matter how Xie Xiao called out to her, Shen You did not respond. Xie Xiao was so anxious that she cried out loud. Zhu Ge patted Xie Xiao¡¯s shoulder and wanted to comfort her, but his eyes were fixed on Shen You¡¯s face. ¡°It will be fine. Shen You will be fine,¡± Zhu Ge said as if he was comforting himself. Chapter 71 - To the Hospital Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhao Nan finally found the teacher of the infirmary and the two of them ran to the infirmary together. When they entered the infirmary, they saw Xie Xiao sitting by the bedside, looking at Shen You. Shen You¡¯s eyes were still tightly closed. Her pale and bloodless face looked a little scary. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The teacher in the infirmary rushed forward and examined her carefully. ¡°Can someone help me take off her clothes?¡± The teacher said as he pressed a button by the door. Xie Xiao stepped forward, ¡°Let me do it!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± The teacher glanced at her and then said to Zhao Nan and Zhu Ge, ¡°The two of you go out first!¡± Zhao Nan and Zhu Ge looked at the teacher and Xie Xiao, then looked at Shen You who was lying on the hospital bed. They gritted their teeth and left. . This was because most of the students here were young ladies from rich families. If anything happened to them, the school would not be able to handle it. Therefore, the school signed a contract with a private hospital nearby as the school¡¯s emergency reserve. As expected, within five minutes of pressing the button, four to five doctors came over with emergency equipment. ¡°This is very strange!¡± A doctor¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Yes! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen something like this!¡± Another doctor echoed. ¡°This looks like death! But clearly there is breathing!¡± The third doctor also shouted in a low voice. The infirmary teacher stared at the monitoring equipment and frowned. ¡°Let¡¯s not bother about it for now. Get ready and send her to the hospital!¡± The other doctors quickly cooperated and prepared the monitoring and other equipment. ¡°Two boys outside, come over and help,¡± the teacher in the infirmary shouted. Zhao Nan and Zhu Ge looked at each other, pushed open the door, and walked in. At this time, Shen You had a lot of instruments and equipment on her, which looked a little scary. ¡°We¡¯re going to send her to the hospital for a check-up. You two clean up here,¡± the teacher in the infirmary instructed the two of them. Zhao Nan and Zhu Ge glanced at the equipment piled on the floor and nodded. Xie Xiao¡¯s face was full of worry. There were tears in her eyes, but they did not flow down. ¡°Um, can I go with you?¡± Xie Xiao followed the few doctors who had already pushed Shen You out. ¡°Inform her family to come over!¡± The infirmary teacher urged. Xie Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded. She did not say anything else. Zhao Nan frowned and said, ¡°I¡¯m her fianc¨¦. I¡¯ll go!¡± Hearing this, the infirmary teacher looked at Zhao Nan in surprise and then nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s go!¡± Zhao Nan followed the doctors to the hospital. Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge walked them to the school gate before they stopped. Zhu Ge patted Xie Xiao¡¯s shoulder in a placating manner. ¡°It¡¯ll be fine!¡± Xie Xiao frowned, unable to hide the panic in her heart. Xie Xiao did not have Shen You¡¯s home number. When she thought of Shen Jiao did not come to school today, she really did not know who to contact. Zhu Ge waved his hand. ¡°I have her brother¡¯s number. Let me contact him!¡± Zhu Ge called Shen Rong and told him the situation in general. When Shen Rong heard this, he was shocked and quickly called his home. When Li Ru heard that Shen You was suddenly admitted, she was also very surprised. She packed her things and rushed to the hospital. Shen You lay on the hospital bed and listened to the sounds outside. Her consciousness was clear, but she could neither open her eyes nor speak. Shen You was very anxious. She desperately wanted to tell everyone that she was fine! However, she could not do anything¡­ ¡°System, system, are you there?¡± Shen You tried to call out. However, the system did not respond. At this moment, Shen You panicked. She was afraid that everything would return to the ending of her previous life. She did not know why it had turned out this way. How did she fall into such a situation again? ¡°Xiao You, Xiao You, can you hear Mom?¡± Li Ru¡¯s voice sounded beside her ear. She sounded very anxious. Shen You wanted to reply, but she could not. A doctor explained to Li Ru, ¡°We can¡¯t tell the reason for her current condition.¡± ¡°We still have to observe again.¡± The doctor¡¯s voice sounded uncertain. ¡°Have you done all the necessary tests?¡± Li Ru asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we have already arranged all the necessary tests.¡± The doctor comforted Li Ru. ¡°As to why she is in a coma, we have no way to come to a conclusion,¡± the doctor said as he glanced at Shen You. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the results to come out!¡± The doctor said as he frowned slightly. Chapter 72 - System Fainted, Too? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio No doctor in the entire hospital had encountered Shen You¡¯s condition. Not to mention this hospital, even other authoritative experts might not have relevant treatment experience. After the hospital arranged various examinations for Shen You, they held a meeting of experts overnight. Li Ru was sitting quietly in the ward. The night was getting darker. She looked at Shen You in front of her. That face seemed to have the shadow of her youth. At that moment, Li Ru felt her entire heart being moved. She had never looked at Shen You carefully. She did not know whether it was because she did not want to look at her, or because she did not want to imagine how Shen You spent her days living outside. . Perhaps it was out of guilt, but more of the fact that she despised her, Li Ru did not know what she was thinking in the past. But at this moment, she knew that she wanted Shen You to open her eyes. Even if she had to pay any price, she would do it! Li Ru raised her hand and gently lifted the strands of hair on Shen You¡¯s forehead. The mark on Shen You¡¯s forehead was revealed. Li Ru looked at the mark and frowned. She touched the mark and felt her heart clench. Shen You lay quietly, feeling Li Ru¡¯s touch. She could feel her hand touching the mark on her forehead. ¡°Xiao You, wake up quickly,¡± Li Ru muttered. Shen You was anxious. She tried to call the system again, ¡°System! Give me a response! Are you still there?!¡± After a long time, the system finally replied, ¡°Yes¡­¡± The system¡¯s voice sounded a little weak. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Shen You asked anxiously. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­ the sudden loss of luck value¡­¡± the system said softly. It was no longer as active as before. ¡°Loss of luck value?¡± Shen You pondered for a moment, ¡°Is this the reason why I can¡¯t move now?¡± ¡°Mm,¡± the system replied, and then continued after a moment, ¡°It should be so!¡± Shen You thought for a moment, ¡°Could it be related to Huo Xiao¡¯s departure?¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be! I can still get luck value from other people, right?¡± Shen You was even more confused. ¡°It should be so in principle,¡± the system replied as best as it could. ¡°Your principle is not very reliable,¡± Shen You could not help but complain. ¡°Then¡­ Will I die now?¡± Shen You asked the question that she was most worried about. This time, the system immediately replied, ¡°That won¡¯t happen!¡± Shen You¡¯s nervousness was finally relaxed. ¡°Think about it, is there any way for me to come back to life first?¡± Shen You said anxiously. She was lying on the bed right now and could not do anything at all. Not to mention quickly obtaining enough luck value, even normal communication would be difficult! ¡°I can¡¯t do anything for the time being,¡± the system said apologetically. ¡°Then what should I do? Should I just lie here and wait for rescue?¡± Shen You asked incredulously. ¡°I can feel that you have a new lucky chance,¡± the system said truthfully. ¡°Lucky chance?¡± When Shen You heard this word, she suddenly felt that it was a little mysterious. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, soon it¡¯ll be here,¡± the system said and then disappeared. No matter how Shen You called, the system never appeared again. Shen You waited in the darkness. She heard Zhao Nan and Li Ru¡¯s exchange. Ever since Li Ru came, Zhao Nan stayed for a while and then left. But at night, he returned to the hospital again and helped Shen You prepare some things. Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge came along, but they were quickly persuaded by Li Ru to go back. Li Ru was Shen You¡¯s mother, after all, so Xie Xiao could not insist on staying. However, Zhao Nan would not back down. No matter what Li Ru said, he insisted on staying until Shen You woke up. ¡°The doctor said that she won¡¯t wake up for the time being,¡± Li Ru sighed and said to Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan stood by the bed and stared at Shen You¡¯s face. ¡°I can wait. I think she will wake up soon.¡± Shen You listened to Zhao Nan¡¯s words and cursed in her heart, ¡°Thank you for your kind words!¡± Li Ru tried to persuade him, but Zhao Nan ignored her. Helplessly, the two of them waited quietly in the ward. A while later, Shen Po and Shen Rong came to the hospital together. After seeing Shen You¡¯s condition, Shen Po persuaded Li Ru to go back and rest. Li Ru shook her head and wanted to stay by Shen You¡¯s side. ¡°She¡¯s been alone for so many years. I want to stay with her.¡± When Shen You heard this, her heart ached again. Shen Po knew that his persuasion was ineffective, so he could only bring Shen Rong home first. Shen Jun and Shen Jiao did not appear from the beginning to the end. In the middle of the night, Li Ru was lying on the family bed next door to rest, while Zhao Nan was sitting on the sofa not far from Shen You¡¯s bed. His eyes had never left Shen You. Chapter 73 - I Dont Have Such a Sister! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Ever since Shen You returned to the Shen family, Zhao Nan saw Shen You wagging her tail and begging everyone in the Shen family like a lapdog. That look, to be honest, Zhao Nan hated it from the bottom of his heart. Subsequently, when Shen You saw that she couldn¡¯t get everyone¡¯s love in the Shen family and knew about her engagement with Zhao Nan, she turned the tables and latched onto Zhao Nan. During that time, Zhao Nan would feel annoyed whenever he heard her name, not to mention seeing Shen You. Although Shen You tried to please him in every way, Zhao Nan did not feel happy. Instead, he felt disgusted. At that time, Shen You stared at every girl beside him like a little dog protecting its food, chasing away every girl that came close to him. Although Shen You¡¯s actions annoyed Zhao Nan, they helped him avoid a lot of trouble in the end. However, Shen You never knew her limits.. She always felt that she would eventually become Zhao Nan¡¯s wife. Therefore, all her thoughts were on Zhao Nan. However, Shen You had changed and he didn¡¯t know when it started. It seemed that it started from the day she transferred to the elite class. Shen You¡¯s gaze no longer followed Zhao Nan. She could also ignore the girls around Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan had once tried to test her by interacting with the girl she used to hate the most in front of her. However, Shen You acted as if she did not see it. She just turned around and left. At that time, Zhao Nan felt puzzled and incredulous. How could a person change so easily overnight? Following that, Shen You began to follow Huo Xiao, just like how she had followed Zhao Nan in the beginning. However, Zhao Nan knew that the look in her eyes was not admiration or dependence, but¡­ Zhao Nan could not put his finger on it, but the feeling was very strange. Zhao Nan watched as Shen You walked away from him step by step towards Huo Xiao. For some reason, Zhao Nan suddenly panicked¡­ He was afraid that he would never see that lovingness and dependence in her eyes again, and he was also afraid that the figure that had been following him all this time would just disappear! Zhao Nan fell into a deep sleep and was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. He subconsciously looked at Shen You on the hospital bed and found that she was still lying quietly without any signs of waking up. The noise came from outside the ward. Zhao Nan frowned and looked at his watch. It was just seven o¡¯clock. He stood up and walked to the outside of the ward. He found that Shen Jun had drunk too much and ran to the hospital to play drunkard. Zhao Nan looked at Shen Jun slapping the wall randomly and asked the nurse which was Shen You¡¯s ward. The nurse wanted to chase him out, but a drunkard could not be measured with the strength of an ordinary person. Two security guards rushed forward, wanting to restrain Shen Jun. Shen Jun kicked and stomped the security guards. Zhao Nan did not want to get involved in this matter, but Li Ru was also woken up at this time. She walked out to check the situation. ¡°Hey! Please let go! This is my son!¡± Li Ru walked up and said to the security guard. The security guard didn¡¯t let go, but said to Li Ru, ¡°He is disturbing the order of the hospital. We have to send him to the police station!¡± ¡°No, no, no! He also wants to see his sister. It was an emergency!¡± Li Ru immediately found an excuse for Shen Jun. The security guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The head nurse on duty knew Li Ru. She went up to the security guards and whispered a few words, and the two security guards let him go. Shen Jun was dragged into the ward by Li Ru and thrown on the sofa. ¡°What are you doing here at this time?¡± Li Ru glared at Shen Jun angrily. Shen Jun was already in a drunken stupor, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. ¡°I¡¯m here to see if Shen You is dead!¡± ¡°Son, how can you say that!¡± Li Ru became even angrier. ¡°Xiao You is your sister after all!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have such a sister!¡± Shen Jun waved his hand and said unhappily. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for her, Ah Jiao wouldn¡¯t be sad and cry!¡± Shen Jun said through gritted teeth. ¡°Ever since she came back, everyone in the family has been unhappy!¡± As Shen Jun said that, his gaze swept over Shen You who was lying on the bed. He stood up unsteadily and walked towards Shen You¡¯s hospital bed step by step. Seeing this, Zhao Nan went forward and blocked Shen Jun¡¯s way. Shen Jun tilted his head and looked at Zhao Nan, then he exhaled a breath of alcohol. ¡°And you! You made Ah Jiao cry, too!¡± Zhao Nan frowned deeply and controlled himself not to push Shen Jun onto the ground. Li Ru saw the impatient expression on Zhao Nan¡¯s face and quickly reached out to pull Shen Jun to the side. Shen Jun waved his hand to shake off Li Ru. Li Ru was unprepared and fell back abruptly. Zhao Nan saw the situation and rushed over to hold Li Ru. Chapter 74 - Am I Going to die? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Jun had already rushed to Shen You¡¯s bedside. He grabbed Shen You¡¯s shoulders and shook her hard. ¡°Shen You! Get up!¡± Shen You was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, but she had already cursed Shen Jun 800 times in her mind. What was wrong with this guy? Why did he come to the hospital so early in the morning to shake a patient who could not move? Could he be seriously ill?! Although Shen You was cursing in her heart, she could not move at all and could not struggle or resist. Zhao Nan helped Li Ru up. When he saw Shen Jun¡¯s crazy behavior, he rushed forward and grabbed the back of his neck before throwing him out. Shen Jun did not have time to react. Zhao Nan threw him directly to the window and his head hit the window lattice. He cried out in pain and pointed at Zhao Nan cursing.. Although Li Ru felt sorry for Shen Jun, she knew that it was Shen Jun¡¯s fault, so she couldn¡¯t take it out on Zhao Nan. She came to Shen Jun¡¯s side and checked on his injuries. Zhao Nan quickly walked to Shen You¡¯s side and checked on her condition. He then rang the emergency bell. The doctor soon appeared in the ward. After asking the reason, he carefully checked the various instruments on Shen You. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Everything is running normally,¡± the doctor on duty said to Zhao Nan. Then, he glanced at Shen Jun, who was still lying on the ground, and said, ¡°This is the ward. The patient needs to rest.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing, you can leave first,¡± the doctor on duty immediately ordered him to leave. Seeing this, Li Ru also knew that Shen Jun would cause more trouble if he stayed here. She said to Zhao Nan, ¡°Zhao Nan, I¡¯ll have to trouble you. I¡¯ll bring Shen Jun back, and I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡± Zhao Nan shook his head at Li Ru, ¡°Auntie, you should go back and rest well. It would be fine with me around.¡± Li Ru wanted to reject, but after thinking for a while, she asked again, ¡°You didn¡¯t go home the whole of last night. Your family¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already told them,¡± Zhao Nan said bluntly. ¡°Oh!¡± Li Ru replied and she didn¡¯t ask anything else. She picked up her bag and pulled Shen Jun out of the ward. The ward returned to silence. Shen You finally breathed a sigh of relief as she lay on the bed. She now felt like a piece of meat on a chopping board, waiting to be butchered! After the doctor and nurse left, Zhao Nan came to Shen You¡¯s bedside again. He raised his hand to touch Shen You, but after some thought, he retracted his hand. ¡°Shen You, you better wake up quickly,¡± Zhao Nan told Shen You in a low voice. Shen You could not help but shout in her heart, ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to?!¡± Zhao Nan looked at Shen You, and after a while, he returned to the sofa to rest. As it was not a rest day, Xie Xiao could not go to the hospital to take care of Shen You, so he asked Xie Chen to help bring some things over. When Xie Chen brought a bunch of things to the ward, she found Shen You lying on the bed, while Zhao Nan was also sleeping soundly on the sofa. Xie Chen looked at Zhao Nan¡¯s expression and could not help but shake her head and smile. At this moment, Zhao Nan woke up. ¡°Sister Xie Chen, you¡¯re here.¡± Xie Chen nodded and handed a lunchbox to Zhao Nan. ¡°It was originally prepared for Auntie. You eat It.¡± Zhao Nan shook his head. ¡°No need! I¡¯ll just have a cup of coffee!¡± ¡°You stayed here all night?¡± Xie Chen asked curiously. ¡°En,¡± Zhao Nan hesitated for a moment before replying. Xie Chen walked to Shen You¡¯s bedside and looked at Shen You¡¯s sleeping appearance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯ll be fine.¡± Zhao Nan¡¯s gaze followed. At this moment, Shen You suddenly felt a warm current flowing into her body. The feeling was familiar, but it was not quite the same. Shen You felt this slow but real infusion of power. She didn¡¯t know where this luck value came from, but it made her not so weak anymore. Shen You tried to move her fingers, but she found that she was still unable to move an inch. She was a little dejected. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°You have a new ability supply station?¡± Shen You heard the system¡¯s voice and was excited, ¡°I don¡¯t know! But at least you¡¯re alive!¡± The system spat, ¡°I¡¯m not dead!¡± ¡°But I feel like I¡¯m going to die!¡± Shen You said dejectedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! You won¡¯t die anytime soon! You¡¯re just too weak!¡± The system emphasized. ¡°This kind of life that depends on the luck of others, when will it end!¡± Shen You said dejectedly. ¡°It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no other way!¡± The system¡¯s voice had a bewitching tone. ¡°Really? What way?¡± Shen You asked. Just then, the monitor that was monitoring Shen You¡¯s heart suddenly emitted a ¡°beep¡± sound¡­ Chapter 75 - Zhao Nan Was Locked Up Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen You was in a daze. She felt as if many people were moving around her. She would occasionally hear Li Ru¡¯s calling and cries. Occasionally, Xie Xiao would shout beside her. Shen You did not know what had happened. She only knew that her head was buzzing. It was very painful. After some time, the noisy voices finally stopped. The surroundings became quiet again. ¡°How is it?¡± A voice asked. It sounded familiar. ¡°Is she still not awake?¡± . ¡°Yes! She hasn¡¯t woken up.¡± Another voice sighed. Shen You knew that it was Li Ru¡¯s voice. ¡°Hey, it has been almost two weeks. Why are you still not awake?¡± The previous voice sounded a little anxious. ¡°Didn¡¯t the doctor say that she¡¯s getting better? Let¡¯s wait and see!¡± Li Ru quickly comforted him. Shen You listened to the conversation between the two. For some reason, she felt a little familiar. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyes seemed to be weighed down by something heavy, and she couldn¡¯t lift them at all. Soon, two more voices came from the room. ¡°You¡¯re here,¡± Li Ru greeted the people who came. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, we¡¯re here to take care of Shen You. You should go back and rest,¡± a female voice said. Shen You could tell that Xie Xiao had come. Li Ru wanted to reject, but she was stopped by another person. ¡°Let¡¯s go back! We can¡¯t wake her up even if we stay here!¡± Not long after, Shen You felt someone touch her forehead. Li Ru¡¯s voice sounded in her ear. ¡°You have to wake up soon!¡± Shen You couldn¡¯t respond but lie down quietly. The sound of high heels could be heard. Shen You knew that Li Ru had left. Xie Xiao came to Shen You¡¯s bedside and reached out to touch Shen You¡¯s forehead. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever either. Why is your face so red?¡± Zhu Ge carefully observed her from the side. ¡°It seems so! Ever since that day, this face has always been red!¡± Shen You felt two pairs of eyes staring at her, and that feeling was very strange. ¡°Xiao You, you have to wake up quickly. We are all waiting for you to wake up!¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s voice sounded again, with a bit of a sobbing tone. Zhu Ge stood at the side and could not stand it anymore. He ridiculed, ¡°Don¡¯t cry! That day, you almost flooded the ward!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my fault! I just came in and found that Xiao You¡¯s heart was not beating. I was scared to death!¡± Xie Xiao pouted, feeling wronged. Zhu Ge burst out laughing. ¡°You scared me to death that day!¡± ¡°More than 10 doctors and nurses came, and even the director was invited!¡± Zhu Ge said with a smile. ¡°It was Zhao Nan who grabbed the chief physician and insisted that Xiao You be saved immediately!¡± Xie Xiao couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. ¡°But that day was also strange. How did the surveillance equipment break down?¡± Zhu Ge recalled the chaotic scene at that time and could not help but shake his head. ¡°That¡¯s right. It scared the doctors!¡± Xie Xiao also recalled that scene and laughed. ¡°Zhao Nan looked like he was going to kill someone!¡± Xie Xiao said and pointed in the direction of the door. ¡°I even saw a nurse running to call the police!¡± Xie Xiao suddenly thought of something and frowned. ¡°It¡¯s strange, Zhao Nan hasn¡¯t been here since that day!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, I heard that his father had locked him up!¡± Zhu Ge shrugged with a helpless expression. ¡°Why?¡±Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge in disbelief. Zhu Ge grinned. ¡°Tell him to calm down¡­¡± Xie Xiao thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°He needs to calm down.¡± ¡°But, when will Xiao You wake up?¡± Xie Xiao said and turned to look at Shen You again. ¡°All the tests showed that she is fine!¡± Xie Xiao said with a frown. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Zhu Ge also looked at Shen You and said uncertainly, ¡°Maybe she is waiting for something?¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s words were unfathomable. Hearing the two¡¯s words, Huo Xiao¡¯s face suddenly flashed in Shen You¡¯s mind. She did not know why, but she suddenly thought of him at that moment. In the following few days, Shen You lay awake on the hospital bed, but she could not open her eyes no matter what. She tried a few times, and in the end, she resigned herself to her fate and enjoyed the rare time of being served by someone. In her mind, this was the first time she had ever been served in two lifetimes. Sometimes, she thought, maybe this is a good way to live her life. Chapter 76 - Huo Xiao Is Back Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Another week had passed. Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge would occasionally visit Shen You in the hospital. Initially, the Shen family visited the hospital every day, but Shen You showed no signs of waking up. Eventually, they began to give up. After hiring a special nurse for Shen You, the Shen family would occasionally visit the hospital and leave. For Shen You, this was not a big deal. After all, she did not have many expectations from the Shen family. Occasionally, Li Ru would say a few words filled with emotion in her ear, which made Shen You feel a little uncomfortable. Shen You stayed in the hospital for almost a month under such conditions. Occasionally, she would contact the system, but the system¡¯s signal did not seem to be very good. It would disappear after a few words.. Shen You had also given up. She lay on the bed and continued to be living dead. Just when Shen You thought that her life might just go on in this manner, a person¡¯s appearance changed everything. On this day, Xie Xiao brought some food over for Shen You after school as usual. Although Shen You could not eat on her own, she could still feed her some porridge. Xie Chen was worried that Shen You did not have enough nutrients in the hospital, so she thought of ways to prepare nutritious porridge for her every day. The nurse saw that Xie Xiao had arrived, greeted her, and walked out of the ward. Xie Xiao held an orange in her hand. As she was peeling it, she told Shen You about the new things in school. ¡°Did you know that Huo Xiao is back?¡± Xie Xiao said as she carefully peeled off the orange peel. ¡°He suddenly showed up at the coffee shop yesterday and gave my sister and I a shock,¡± Xie Xiao could not help but complain. ¡°He said he was looking for you,¡± Xie Xiao continued, without stopping peeling. ¡°We told him that you were in the hospital, but he left without asking anything.¡± Xie Xiao pulled off the thin layer of skin on the orange and gently placed it beside Shen You¡¯s mouth. ¡°If you ask me, men are mostly heartless! Huo Xiao is no exception!¡± Xie Xiao said unhappily. She used a little more force and gently squeezed the orange juice into Shen You¡¯s mouth. ¡°I thought that Huo Xiao treated you differently.¡± Xie Xiao picked up a tissue and gently wiped Shen You¡¯s mouth. ¡°Who knew that he would just leave in that manner!¡± Xie Xiao scoffed. She could hear her dissatisfaction. ¡°Don¡¯t date him anymore in the future!¡± Xie Xiao warned her carefully. ¡°This kind of person is not worth it!¡± Xie Xiao spoke with gusto. She did not care if Shen You could hear her. She kept talking to herself and in the end, she had fed half of the orange juice to Shen You. After washing her hands in the washroom next door, Xie Xiao walked out again. She then saw that there was an additional person in the ward. ¡°Eh? Why are you here?¡± Xie Xiao raised her voice and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her. Huo Xiao glanced at Xie Xiao. ¡°I¡¯m here to see Shen You.¡± Xie Xiao pouted. ¡°Tsk! You didn¡¯t even bother to ask! Could it be that you heard my complaints?¡± Huo Xiao ignored Xie Xiao¡¯s words and walked straight to Shen You¡¯s bedside. Shen You¡¯s expression looked very strange. It was an abnormal red color. Huo Xiao wanted to reach out and touch it. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Xiao. ¡°How did she become like this?¡± Xie Xiao went over to take a look, ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°The day she was admitted to the hospital, her face was deathly pale.¡± Xie Xiao told Huo Xiao about the situation that day. ¡°In the end, after the equipment broke down, her face became like this!¡± Xie Xiao summarized the situation over the past month. Huo Xiao listened to Xie Xiao¡¯s words and frowned slightly. Shen You was also listening to Xie Xiao quietly. Although she had heard this many times, she still could not understand why. Shen You did not know what had happened to her face, but she could feel that her face was always hot and swollen. This feeling was very strange as if all the cells in her body were concentrated on her face. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You. After a long while, he finally reached out his hand. He raised his hand and gently touched Shen You¡¯s forehead. Shen You only felt a chill coming over her, dissipating the heat on her face. In the next moment, Shen You felt a steady stream of luck value flowing into her body. The feeling came from above her head. It was as if she had been enlightened, and it instantly woke her up. Shen You felt that her body was gradually recovering its strength. Xie Xiao looked at Huo Xiao¡¯s reactions. Although he did not say anything, the corners of his mouth curled up. She had long felt that Huo Xiao¡¯s attitude toward Shen You was not quite right. Now, it seemed that it was indeed¡­ Chapter 77 - Shen You Woke up Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xie Xiao snickered as she watched Huo Xiao stare at Shen You. She did not want to break this beautiful feeling. Just as she was about to leave, the door to the ward was slammed open. ¡°Xiao Xiao! See what I have brought!¡± Zhu Ge¡¯s excited voice was heard. Xie Xiao cursed Zhu Ge in her heart. She turned her head and glared at Zhu Ge, who walked in like a fool with a pot of flowers in his hands. Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao in a daze. He did not know how he had offended her. In the next moment, Zhu Ge realized that there was another person in the ward. ¡°Eh? Huo Xiao? When did you come back?¡± Huo Xiao retracted his hand that was touching Shen You and looked at Zhu Ge.. ¡°Yesterday.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Zhu Ge replied. He was about to say something when his eyes widened in an instant. Xie Xiao rushed forward. She wished she could slap Zhu Ge¡¯s face away. ¡°You¡­¡± Before Xie Xiao could finish her sentence, Zhu Ge grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around. Xie Xiao was shocked and almost fell when she lost her balance. However, in the next moment, she opened her mouth wide and looked at the hospital bed. Huo Xiao also felt that something was wrong with the two of them and turned to look. ¡°Xiao You, you¡¯re awake!¡± Xie Xiao¡¯s voice was filled with surprise as she rushed to the bedside. The hand that Shen You was trying to raise was grabbed by Xie Xiao. Shen You turned her head and looked at Xie Xiao, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. ¡°That¡¯s great! You scared me to death!¡± Xie Xiao grabbed Shen You¡¯s hand, tears instantly flowing down her face. Shen You wanted to raise her hand to wipe away Xie Xiao¡¯s tears, but she realized that she did not have much strength. That¡¯s right. This was almost a month¡¯s liquid diet so she did not have much strength! Huo Xiao stood on the other side. When he saw Shen You¡¯s expression, his expression relaxed a little. Zhu Ge walked forward and handed the potted plant in his arms to Shen You. ¡°Idol! Look! This potted plant of mine brings good luck!¡± Zhu Ge held the potted plant above Shen You¡¯s face. The hole that was not covered scattered some dirt. Xie Xiao slapped Zhu Ge away. ¡°You¡¯re trying to kill Xiao You!¡± ¡°No way!¡± Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao with a wronged expression. ¡°Look, it¡¯s because I brought a potted plant here that my idol woke up!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense! I was the one who took care of Xiao You every day and it has touched the heaven and earth!¡± Xie Xiao said with her chest puffed out. Zhu Ge snorted, ¡°It has been many days but it didn¡¯t work. It¡¯s all because of me!¡± Hearing Zhu Ge¡¯s words, Shen You subconsciously turned her gaze to Huo Xiao, who had not said a word. It seemed that she had only regained her spirit after Huo Xiao came. The input of that powerful luck value seemed to be the source of her power. Shen You stared at Huo Xiao, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her eyes. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and noticed that she was suddenly staring at him. His expression changed slightly. Then, he reached out his hand again and touched Shen You¡¯s forehead. ¡°You¡¯re awake now. But why is your face still so red?¡± Upon hearing what Huo Xiao said, Xie Xiao suddenly slapped her forehead. ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll call the doctor over to take a look!¡± As Xie Xiao said that, she rushed out of the ward to call the doctor. Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao¡¯s figure as she rushed out. He then reached out his hand to the first aid button on the bed. ¡°Why didn¡¯t she just press this?¡± The doctor and nurse quickly appeared in the ward. After chasing the two boys out, they carried out a series of checks on Shen You. Shen You lay on the bed, surrounded by a large group of people. This time, she suddenly felt that she might as well faint¡­ At least, there wouldn¡¯t be this kind of awkwardness of being dragged around and stared at by others. Finally, the doctor and nurse confirmed that Shen You¡¯s vital signs were normal. She should have completely woken up, so they packed up their things and left. Shen You lay on the bed and looked at Xie Xiao who was walking over with an aggrieved expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Xiao looked at Shen You¡¯s appearance and asked worriedly. ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Shen You said truthfully. Xie Xiao immediately beamed. ¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll buy you a big drumstick!¡± Shen You smiled at Xie Xiao with eyes filled with sincere gratitude. Zhu Ge and Huo Xiao returned to the ward once again. Xie Xiao was just about to leave. Zhu Ge was about to say something, but Xie Xiao grabbed his collar and dragged him out. Huo Xiao watched the two leave and walked to Shen You¡¯s bed again. He stood beside the bed, lowered his head, and looked at Shen You. Shen You looked up at Huo Xiao. She hesitated for a moment before saying softly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you sit down?¡± Huo Xiao did not understand what Shen You meant and looked at her in confusion. Shen You curled her lips. ¡°Looking at you this way, you look so strange!¡± Chapter 78 - A Heartwarming Scene Huo Xiao sat down beside Shen You, his gaze still fixed on her face. Shen You thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you come back?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You, and said after a moment, "I''m done with some tasks." Shen You frowned. "Didn''t you go abroad to study?" Huo Xiao shook his head. "No! I just went for some relevant procedures." Shen You was stunned. "I thought you no longer would come back!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s shocked expression and raised his eyebrows. "You don''t want me to come back?" "Of course not!" Shen You immediately denied it.. Then, she thought for a moment and said, "That farewell party was..." Huo Xiao frowned as well. "Who told you it was a farewell party?" Shen You was even more confused. "Wasn''t it?" Huo Xiao could not help but roll his eyes. He tapped Shen You''s forehead with one hand. "You got the invitation, and you didn''t even look at it?" Shen You thought about it and then grinned awkwardly. "Those few days... I was a little busy." Huo Xiao''s expression changed slightly when he heard that. "Yes! It''s because of Zhao Nan." "No!" Shen You quickly denied. "It''s not because of him!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s anxious expression and relaxed slightly. "Then have you solved your problem?" Huo Xiao asked again. Shen You frowned and thought seriously for a moment. "Probably... not yet!" Huo Xiao nodded and did not continue to ask. "How did this happen?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s weak appearance. Shen You sighed. "I have no idea either!" "I had a blackout and I just woke up just now." Shen You said truthfully. Although she had maintained her consciousness throughout, she did not wake up after all. If this was told to Huo Xiao, he would probably think that there was something wrong with her again! When Huo Xiao heard this, his face was filled with deep worry. "Then, do you feel any discomfort?" Shen You shook her head slightly. "I''m perfectly fine!" Shen You added another sentence in her heart, "Everything has been fine since you came!" Anyway, these words were too pretentious, and Shen You really couldn''t say it out loud. The two of them chatted non-stop. Shen You didn''t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Huo Xiao talked more now! Huo Xiao, who did not talk to her much previously, had talked at least a dozen times today! Suddenly, Shen You''s stomach growled and she felt embarrassed. Huo Xiao glanced at Shen You, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Shen You secretly swore in her heart that if she had the strength, she would wipe the smile off Huo Xiao''s face! Huo Xiao got up and searched the room, only to find a small apple. He raised the apple in his hand and asked, "Is this okay?" Shen You was about to reject, but her stomach growled again. She nodded, resigned to her fate. Huo Xiao washed the apple, picked up the fruit knife in the room, sat down by Shen You''s bed, and quietly peeled the apple. Shen You''s eyes were fixed on Huo Xiao''s movements. Huo Xiao''s movements did not seem to be skilled. The apple skin was cut off piece by piece. However, he did not give up. Instead, he continued to peel carefully. When a small piece of flesh appeared, Huo Xiao would cut it off and put it close to Shen You''s mouth. At first, Shen You was a little uncomfortable. She was embarrassed to open her mouth. Huo Xiao held the apple by her mouth until she bit it. Shen You chewed carefully, savoring the taste that she had not tasted in nearly a month. Huo Xiao was a very considerate person. He knew that Shen You could not eat large pieces of the apple, so he cut them into small pieces and fed them to her. Shen You chewed slowly, and Huo Xiao was not in a hurry. He waited for Shen You to finish one piece before cutting off another. When Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge returned to the ward, they saw such a harmonious and warm scene. Xie Xiao was about to go forward but was stopped by Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge dragged Xie Xiao out of the ward and Xie Xiao glared at Zhu Ge with dissatisfaction. She raised the hot porridge in her hand. "Xiao You is hungry!" "Don''t you think there''s something between them?" Zhu Ge said in a low voice. "So what? You don''t need to eat when you''re in love?" Xie Xiao asked in dissatisfaction. "I mean..." Zhu Ge gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it!" Xie Xiao glared at Zhu Ge in dissatisfaction. "You''re a big man, but you''re such a slug!" After Xie Xiao said that, she carried the things into the ward. This time, Zhu Ge didn''t stop her. Chapter 79 - Live Well Shen You finally had some strength after eating the food that Xie Xiao had brought. When Huo Xiao saw that Shen You was much better, and it was not suitable for him to stay for too long, he left first. Zhu Ge also left early, saying that he still had important matters to deal with. Only Xie Xiao and Shen You were left in the ward. The two of them chatted about the recent events. "You know something. Shen Jiao hasn''t been to school for more than a week now." Xie Xiao said. "Oh." Shen You was not interested in Shen Jiao''s matter. "I heard that she''s getting engaged." Xie Xiao broke a piece of great news. Sure enough, Shen You immediately turned her head. "With who?" Xie Xiao shook his head. "I don''t know! But I heard that she chose to get engaged for the sake of the Shen family." Shen You frowned when she heard that. Shen You was not surprised that there would be such a rumor. After all, in everyone''s eyes, Shen Jiao was an understanding person who was willing to sacrifice herself for the benefit of the family. Back then, when Shen You gave up the engagement with Zhao Nan, Shen Jiao also acted as if it was for the Shen family that she agreed to get engaged to Zhao Nan. If it weren''t for Zhao Nanning''s unyielding attitude, Shen Jiao would have long become Zhao Nan''s fianc¨¦e. However, it was unknown who Shen Jiao had made this engagement with this time. Back then, Shen Hao had desperately wanted to push for the engagement with the Zhao family because the Shen family''s business had encountered problems. Shen Jiao''s engagement at this juncture was probably related to this matter. Seeing that Shen You did not say anything, Xie Xiao broke another news. "I heard that Zhao Nan has been locked up by his father." "Oh?" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao in surprise. "Why?" Xie Xiao raised his eyebrows and pouted. "It''s all because of you!" "Because of me?" Shen You''s expression became even weirder. "You have no idea of what happened!" Xie Xiao said and suddenly became a little excited. "When you were just hospitalized, Zhao Nan stayed by your side every day and did not go home at all!" "If I didn''t know that the two of you weren''t engaged yet, I would have thought that Zhao Nan loved you too much!" Xie Xiao couldn''t help but complain. When Xie Xiao said this, Shen You almost choked to death by her saliva. Shen You kept coughing and pointed one hand at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao quickly poured her a glass of water and said with a repentant look, "Don''t be so agitated! If you breathe your last, I''ll be guilty!" Shen You drank a mouthful of water and calmed herself down. She was finally feeling better. "Don''t spout nonsense!" Shen You still did not forget to remind Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao smiled and begged for mercy. "I was just saying it casually!" "But the fact that he didn''t feel like eating or drinking, it''s really..." Xie Xiao saw that Shen You''s expression was not right and immediately shut up. "Don''t worry! Rumors stop at the Wise!" Xie Xiao promised solemnly. Shen You glanced at her and said, "Is Sister Chen busy?" "You come here every day. What about her side?" Shen You was a little worried about the coffee shop''s business. Ever since Huo Xiao and Zhu Ge appeared at the coffee shop from time to time, the business there seemed to have become unprecedentedly good. Many times, Xie Chen could not handle it alone. "No problem! Sister has hired two interns to help," Xie Xiao comforted Shen You. Only then did Shen You feel relieved. "That''s good!" "Also, Sister Chen said that there are a lot of orders for your custom-made cupcakes. You have to get well quickly!" Xie Xiao immediately turned into a harsh boss who urged the workers. Ever since the business of the coffee shop had become better, more and more people began to order Shen You''s custom-made cupcakes. However, since she was hospitalized, this service had been suspended. However, there were still some customers who came because of her reputation and pre-ordered the cupcakes. They were also looking forward to Shen You''s recovery. Shen You suddenly felt a little touched. In her previous life, she had never been missed and looked forward to by anyone. In this life, she had too much! For a moment, Shen You was afraid that everything that she had would disappear again! Seeing that Shen You''s expression suddenly became a little sad, Xie Xiao pulled Shen You''s hand and asked, "Xiao You, what''s the matter?" Shen You came back to her senses and looked at Xie Xiao. She tried her best to smile and said, "Nothing. I just remembered something." "Xiao You, you must recover as soon as possible!" Xie Xiao held Shen You''s hand tightly and said. Shen You nodded and also held Xie Xiao''s hand tightly. "I will!" "I will do my best to recover! I will definitely..." Shen You said with her eyes filled with determination, "Live well!" Chapter 80 - Could Not Leave Huo Xiao That night, Li Ru and Shen Po arrived at the hospital. They received the news that Shen You had woken up. However, because Shen Jiao''s fianc¨¦ had come to visit, they were unable to leave then. When Li Ru and the others arrived at the hospital, Xie Xiao had already left, and Shen you had already fallen asleep. The nurse was lying on the accompanying hospital bed. When she saw that Li Ru had arrived, she hurriedly sat up. "How is she?" Li Ru came forward and looked at Shen You. Shen You slept very soundly. She looked better than before. The nurse walked over and said, "The doctor said that all the tests were normal. She should be able to be discharged in two days.." "That''s good!" Li Ru heaved a sigh of relief. "You''ve worked hard!" Li Ru thanked the nurse. The nurse did not stand on ceremony. After thanking her, she said, "The doctor said that she still needs to rest for some time. I wonder if she would stay in the hospital or go home?" When Li Ru heard this, she hesitated for a moment. Shen Po walked forward and said to the nurse, "Go home!" "It''s more comfortable at home. It''s fine to invite Dr. Zhang over to stay for a few days," Shen Po suggested to Li Ru. Li Ru thought for a moment and nodded. Dr. Zhang was the Shen family''s private doctor. He was responsible for all the family members'' illnesses. Back then, he was the one who pointed out that Shen Jiao''s blood type was different from the Shen family members. It was then realized that Shen Jiao was not the daughter of the Shen family. If it were not for Dr. Zhang, Shen You would still be the girl from the countryside who fed on begged food. "I''ll handle the procedures tomorrow," Shen Po confirmed with Li Ru again. "There''s no rush. Let''s go back and discuss it with your father." Li Ru suddenly hesitated. Shen Po''s expression changed slightly, but he didn''t say anything. Ever since Shen You returned to the Shen family, Shen Hao''s attitude toward her hadn''t been very good. Especially because of Shen You, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Shen family had taken a turn for the worse, which made Shen Hao even more dissatisfied. The Shen family was now facing a huge predicament. Not only did Shen You not help, she even cut off the Zhao family''s path. Shen Hao even felt that Shen You was the nemesis of the Shen family! If Shen Jiao had not stepped forward and solved the Shen family''s problem, Shen Hao might have poached Shen You from her hospital bed to get engaged to the Zhao family! Li Ru had her concerns, while Shen Po also had his ideas. Shen You lay on the hospital bed, quietly listening to their conversation. When Li Ru and the others arrived, Shen You had already woken up. However, she did not want to have too much interaction with them, so she chose to continue pretending to be asleep. Listening to Shen Po''s insistence and Li Ru''s hesitation, Shen You secretly felt a little funny. Even after two lifetimes, she still could not escape the fate of being despised by the Shen family! However, it did not matter how the Shen family treated her. Shen You had to live for herself in this life! Li Ru and Shen Po did not stay for long before they left. Listening to the sound of the nurse''s snoring beside her, Shen You looked at the ceiling above her, quietly thinking about something. "What are you thinking about?" The system''s voice suddenly sounded. When Shen You heard this voice, she was instantly a little excited. Before this, Shen You had wanted to contact the system, but she always failed. After waking up today, Shen You tried again, but she still failed to wake up the system. "You''ve recovered?" Shen You asked the system excitedly. "En! I''ve recovered quite a bit!" The system''s voice sounded much more energetic. "Was it because my luck value was too low previously?" Shen You asked in puzzlement. "Not exactly! I can''t explain clearly the exact reason in a short amount of time!" The system sounded like it was trying to hide something. Shen You thought about it and decided to ask the thing that she was most concerned about, "My blackout this time is related to my luck value. Then, did I wake up because my luck value had returned?" The system was straightforward this time, "Yes! The system detected that the luck value storage condition is normal, and it continues to increase." Shen You''s heart instantly calmed down. "Then I don''t have to die for the time being?" "You won''t die for the time being!" The system gave Shen You an affirmative answer. Shen You, who had been feeling anxious, was finally at ease. "Then, does the disappearance of my luck value this time have anything to do with Huo Xiao''s departure?" Shen You asked again. She thought about it and realized that the blackout this time happened after Huo Xiao left. The main source of her luck value was Huo Xiao, so was her blackout this time related to Huo Xiao? The system seemed to hesitate. After a moment, it said, "It''s related!" "So, have you thought about what to do next?" The system asked. This question stumped Shen You. She couldn''t tie Huo Xiao to her, could she? Chapter 81 - Chen Shen? Since Shen You woke up, Xie Xiao showed up every day to bring her food and drinks, and chat with her. Zhu Ge would occasionally appear and tell her some new things that happened in class, making her laugh uncontrollably. As for Huo Xiao, ever since Shen You woke up, Huo Xiao seemed to have disappeared again. When Shen You was lying in bed alone, she would occasionally think if Huo Xiao could sense that she intended to cling to him? Was he... afraid? Shen You was amused by her thoughts. However, there was also another kind of emotion gradually sprouting in the bottom of her heart. She felt a little depressed! She was lying on the bed idly every day.. Xie Xiao kindly bought her a bunch of newspapers. Flipping through the newspapers every day, her days were calm and dull but bearable. Ever since Li Ru and Shen Po came over that day, no one from the Shen family came to visit her again. Was she disappointed? No. Was she angry? It didn''t seem like it! Shen You didn''t know why she was so calm. It was probably because she had been disappointed before, so she no longer had any expectations! When she was flipping through the newspaper, she suddenly found news about the Shen family. Shen You looked at it carefully. It was the news about Shen Jiao''s engagement. And the person who was engaged to Shen Jiao was someone that Shen You knew! But... "Isn''t this person... Uncle Chen?" Shen You frowned as she looked at the person in the photo. Then, she shifted her gaze to the text at the side. She read the text carefully. Was Shen Jiao engaged to Chen Shen? This Chen Shen was Shen Hao''s good friend. Their friendship probably started since they were young kids! Both of them were the descendants of the middle class. They grew up and studied together. Subsequently, Shen Hao got married and had children. With the help of Li Ru''s family, his business was doing well. Chen Shen, on the other hand, seemed to have been depressed for some time. They did not have much contact for a long time. It was not until Shen You returned to the Shen family that the two of them connected again. In Shen You''s impression, Chen Shen seemed to have a fianc¨¦e. They loved each other dearly. However, not long after Shen You came to the Shen family, Chen Shen''s fianc¨¦e died in an accident. And because of this accident, Chen Shen received a large sum of insurance compensation. At the same time, the company run by his fianc¨¦e was also taken over by Chen Shen. From then on, Chen Shen gradually became rich and close to Shen Hao again. However, it was incredible that Shen Jiao was engaged to Chen Shen! Shen You stared at the newspaper with disbelief written all over her face. The moment Xie Xiao walked into the ward and saw Shen You''s dazed look, she walked over directly and slapped Shen You on her back. "Hey! What happened to you?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and was a little worried. Shen You retracted her stiff chin and looked at Xie Xiao. "You know that Shen Jiao is engaged, right?" "Yes! I heard that her fianc¨¦ likes her very much! It''s just that he''s a little old!" Xie Xiao told Shen You the gossip that she had heard. "A little... old?" Shen You sounded very strange. "Yes! I heard that he was about thirty or forty years old." Xie Xiao pouted. "Perhaps, age is not a concern in love!" Xie Xiao sighed. The corner of Shen You''s mouth twitched. "But why did she suddenly get engaged?" "I was curious, too! Initially, looking at her, I thought that she wouldn''t marry anyone other than Zhao Nan!" Xie Xiao shook her head. She was also puzzled. "Has she been to school recently?" Shen You asked again. "No! She hasn''t been to school since she got engaged!" Xie Xiao frowned. "Did something happen?" Shen You thought for a moment and asked, "Will Zhu Ge come today?" Xie Xiao heard Shen You''s question and couldn''t help but scoff. "How would I know? It''s his freedom to go anywhere!" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao with confusion and asked tentatively, "He made you angry?" Xie Xiao snorted, "No! How could a young master make me angry!" Shen You smiled awkwardly and could not help but curse in her heart, " Isn''t this anger!" Since Xie Xiao was unwilling to tell, Shen You could only wait for Zhu Ge to come and ask him if he knew any insider information. That night, Zhu Ge brought a few small cakes to the hospital. "Idol, look what I brought for you!" When Xie Xiao saw Zhu Ge coming, she turned around and walked out. Looking at Xie Xiao''s back as she was walking out, Zhu Ge didn''t say anything. Chapter 82 - The Crisis Of The Shen Family Shen You looked at the strange interaction between the two and did not know what had happened. But at the moment, there was something that she was more concerned about. She asked Zhu Ge, "Zhu Ge, do you know where Shen Jiao is lately?" When Zhu Ge heard Shen You''s question, he did not show a puzzled expression. Instead, he sighed. Shen You''s expression became even more strange. "You know, right?" Zhu Ge walked to Shen You''s bedside and put down the small cakes before saying, "I heard it from my family." "Your father lost a lot of money when his investment failed this time," Zhu Ge continued. "Originally, he wanted to rely on you and Zhao Nan to get engaged and transfer some funds from the Zhao family." Zhu Ge continued speaking without looking closely at Shen You''s expression.. "As you and Zhao Nan refused to cooperate, and your father''s application for a loan from the bank wasn''t approved..." Zhu Ge said and sighed. "I thought the Shen family would be finished this time. But this Chen Shen jumped out and said he wanted to get engaged to Shen Jiao, and he was willing to lend your father a sum of money," Zhu Ge said and couldn''t help patting his thigh. Shen You''s face darkened even more when she heard Zhu Ge''s words. "Initially, your father felt that this wasn''t proper, so he didn''t agree," Zhu Ge said with some indignation in his tone. Then, he tilted his head in confusion and looked at Shen You. "Who knew that two days later, Shen Jiao came out and said that she agreed to be engaged to Chen Shen!" Zhu Ge saw that Shen You''s expression was getting uglier and uglier, and he was stunned. "Well, Idol, I only heard all these..." Shen You nodded and continued to ask, "Anything else?" Zhu Ge thought for a moment. "Ever since Shen Jiao got engaged to that Chen Shen, she hasn''t been to school." "I heard that Chen Shen has also moved into the Shen family..." Zhu Ge continued to add. "What?" Shen You exclaimed, and she almost jumped up from the bed. Zhu Ge hurriedly pressed on Shen You''s shoulder. "Don''t get agitated! Don''t get agitated!" Shen You sat on the hospital bed, slowly adjusting her breathing. That''s right! Why should I get agitated! What did the Shen family''s matter have to do with me? But, this Chen Shen... Shen You''s expression became even stranger. Zhu Ge looked at Shen You''s appearance and was a little worried. "Idol, are you really alright?" Shen You composed herself and said, "I''m fine!" Then, Shen You grabbed Zhu Ge''s arm and said, "Zhu Ge, I have something to ask of you!" "What is it?" Zhu Ge looked at Shen You''s serious look and immediately became serious. "Can you call my eldest brother over?" Shen You begged. "Your eldest brother? Shen Po?" Zhu Ge asked in confusion. "Yes! Can I?" Shen You asked again. Zhu Ge thought for a moment. "No problem! I''ll bring him over tomorrow!" With Zhu Ge''s promise, Shen You was finally relieved. It was not Shen You''s fault for making such a fuss! Shen You had some impression of this Chen Shen! On the surface, this man and Shen Hao were as close as brothers. However, in her previous life, Shen You deeply remembered how this man had instigated her to betray the Shen family and help him obtain everything that belonged to the Shen family! At that time, Shen You was foolish. All she wanted was to obtain a place in the Shen family. However, Shen Jiao was different! Shen You did not know what she was thinking, but she did not want anything to happen to the Shen family! Shen You secretly took a deep breath to calm herself down. Perhaps, everything could still be salvaged. It was not as serious as she had thought! When Xie Xiao returned to the ward, she realized that Zhu Ge had not left yet. He was still chatting enthusiastically with Shen You. She pouted and walked to the sofa at the side, not saying a word. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s strange appearance. She tugged at Zhu Ge''s hand and asked silently, "What''s wrong?" Zhu Ge scratched the back of his head and said innocently, "I don''t know!" Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. This Zhu Ge usually looked quite smart, but whenever he met Xie Xiao, he seemed to have turned into a fool! Shen You thought that it was better to ask Xie Xiao personally. She said to Zhu Ge, "It''s getting late! You should go back first!" Zhu Ge stood up and said, "Xie Xiao, do you want me to send you back?" Xie Xiao rolled his eyes and ignored Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge was rejected and could only look at Shen You awkwardly. Shen You curled her lips into a smile and waved at Zhu Ge. "You should go back first! Oh yes, don''t forget what you have promised me!" Zhu Ge replied and took another look at Xie Xiao before leaving. Shen You looked at his pitiful appearance and found it funny. Chapter 83 - Whats Going On? After Zhu Ge left, Xie Xiao sat beside Shen You''s bed flipping through a newspaper. Shen You tilted her head and looked at Xie Xiao''s absent-minded look. She couldn''t help but laugh out loud. Xie Xiao raised her head and looked at Shen You with a mocking gaze. "What''s the matter?" Shen You chuckled. "You and Zhu Ge, what''s going on?" Xie Xiao''s expression immediately stiffened. "What could be wrong? It''s all because he made me angry!" "He made you angry? But he doesn''t seem to know anything about it!" Shen You felt that these two people were getting more and more strange. "That''s because he''s an idiot!" Xie Xiao''s expression became even stranger. Shen You sighed and said, "Sometimes, guys are just that idiotic!" "He makes you angry, but he doesn''t know when he has made the mistake!" Shen You advised patiently. "You can''t be angry alone!" "You should fight back!" Shen You said firmly, looking at Xie Xiao with encouragement. "How do I fight back?" Xie Xiao was puzzled. "Teach him a lesson! Tell him that he has done wrong! He needs to correct it! And repent!" Shen You grabbed Xie Xiao''s hand and said affirmatively. Xie Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Repent is not necessary, but it makes me feel very depressed!" "Then let him compensate you for your good mood!" Shen You suggested enthusiastically. Xie Xiao listened and felt that it made sense, so she asked, "Then what should I do?" Shen You thought for a while and said, "First of all, you have to let him know what he has done wrong!" Xie Xiao thought for a while, and then she lowered her shoulders dejectedly. "Now that I think about it, it doesn''t seem to be a big deal." Xie Xiao looked at Shen You with some embarrassment. Shen You raised her eyebrows and looked as if she was willing to hear the details. Xie Xiao grinned awkwardly. "Just... he said that he wanted to help me deliver something to you." "In the end, this guy was dragged away by the girls from the school next door!" Xie Xiao said angrily. "And he even had the nerve to throw the things to me and let me bring them over myself!" Xie Xiao became angrier and angrier as she spoke. When Shen You heard this, her expression instantly became a little strange. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s stifled smile and glared at her. "Is it funny?" "There are a lot of things! And I moved them here alone!" Xie Xiao said with an aggrieved look. Shen You quickly comforted Xie Xiao patting her hand. "Alright, alright! You''ve worked the hardest!" "So, because of this matter, you''re ignoring him?" Shen You pressed on. "Of course!" Xie Xiao said coldly, "He''s so lustful that he forgets his friends, so why should I bother with him!" Shen You took a deep breath, then revealed a smile and said, "You will have one less coolie then!" "Why bother yourself!" Shen You persuaded. Xie Xiao thought for a moment and patted her head. "That''s right! Why don''t I make use of the coolie?" Shen You still had a smile on her face. "That''s why! Go to him tomorrow and ask him to compensate you for your hard work!" "How?" Xie Xiao listened to Shen You''s words and asked curiously. "It''s up to you!" Shen You finally smiled. "Beat him up, kick him a few times, or even get a free meal from him. Aren''t all these feasible?" Shen You suggested, "out of kindness". Hearing Shen You''s words, Xie Xiao suddenly felt that it made sense. "Two interns have left sister''s place recently, and she just happened to be too busy..." "I''ve thought of a way to make him compensate!" Xie Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. Seeing that Xie Xiao was in a good mood now, Shen You also felt relieved. "Oh yes, I heard the two of you seemed to be talking about Shen Jiao just now?" Xie Xiao asked. "Yes! I suspect there''s something wrong." Shen You nodded and said. "Ah! Then Huo Xiao must be talking about this!" Xie Xiao suddenly revealed an expression of understanding. "Huo Xiao? What did he say?" Shen You revealed a puzzled expression and looked at Xie Xiao. "That day, Huo Xiao heard that Shen Jiao was engaged! After that, he came to the hospital. Seeing that you were asleep, he didn''t disturb you." Xie Xiao recalled the scene that day. "He told me that he might not be able to come over for a few days and asked me to let you know when you woke up!" Xie Xiao thought for a moment and said. Suddenly, she looked at Shen You pitifully. "How could I have forgotten about this!" "It''s all that d*mn Zhu Ge''s fault! He made me forget such an important thing!" Xie Xiao patted her head in frustration. Shen You held Xie Xiao''s hand and said, "It''s alright! Aren''t you telling me now?" So, Huo Xiao was not hiding from me... Chapter 84 - Planned Engagement After two or three days, Huo Xiao suddenly appeared at the hospital during the day. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in surprise. "Why are you here at this time?" Huo Xiao walked to the bedside and saw that Shen You was gradually recovering, he said, "I have something to tell you." Shen You looked at Huo Xiao''s grave expression and became serious. "About Shen Jiao''s engagement..." Huo Xiao paused for a moment as if he was thinking of how to tell Shen You. Shen You nodded and then asked, "There''s something wrong with that fianc¨¦?" "How do you know?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in surprise. Shen You smiled and said, "Intuition!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in disbelief, but there was nothing else on her face. He shook his head, sat by the bed, and continued, "As the Shen family and the Huo family have business dealings..." "The Huo family originally wanted to help the Shen family this time." Huo Xiao continued. "However, Shen Hao seems to have other plans, so the Huo family has been waiting and observing." As Huo Xiao spoke, his expression was unusually mature and experienced. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao without saying a word. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s face. After a moment, he said, "Originally, the Shen family wanted to solve this problem by relying on the engagement with the Zhao family..." "I think you should know this." Huo Xiao''s gaze was fixed on Shen You''s face. Shen You nodded, but she still did not speak. Huo Xiao paused for a moment before saying, "Due to various reasons, this method did not succeed." "When Shen Hao was like a cat on hot bricks, Chen Shen''s appearance was too timely!" Huo Xiao continued, with his tone sounding a little unfathomable. "You''re saying that this was planned?" When Shen You heard this, her expression changed. "That doesn''t sound right! He was unlikely to factor in the reactions of the Zhao family and me!" Shen You''s expression became even stranger. "Or is it that someone in the Shen family is helping him?" Shen You said as she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. "The reason I''m telling you all this is so that you can remind Shen Hao not to trust anyone too easily!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You seriously as he said this. "Anyone? Including the family members that he has?" Shen You muttered to herself. For some reason, Shen You felt that Shen Jiao had something to do with this incident. However, she had no evidence and no way to prove it. Shen You sat on the bed in frustration. She fixed her eyes on her hands. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and his heart skipped a beat. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her hair. Shen You did not move, feeling Huo Xiao''s comfort. A moment later, Huo Xiao withdrew his hand and took out a small bag that he always carried with him. "There are some books here. You can take a look when you''re bored." Shen You opened it and took a look. They were all questions from interesting competitions. Shen You felt that it was a little funny. Did this Huo Xiao treat her like a child? Seeing that Shen You was smiling, Huo Xiao said, "I''ve gone through all the questions here. They''re helpful for the entrance exam." Hearing Huo Xiao''s words, Shen You''s mouth was agape in shock. She blinked at Huo Xiao and then nodded. "Okay! I''ll go through them!" The two of them talked for a while. Around noon, the nurse came to bring Shen You some food. Huo Xiao reminded Shen You to take care of her health and left. Shen You lay on the bed, quietly thinking about the memories of Chen Shen from her previous life. In her impression, Chen Shen and his fianc¨¦e had a very good relationship, and they had always been in love. Subsequently, his fianc¨¦e died unexpectedly, and Chen Shen seemed to be sad for some time. After that, she didn''t know what had happened, Chen Shen seemed to have formed a hatred towards Shen Hao. Because of this, Chen Shen had approached her to conspire with him against the Shen family. When Shen You thought of Chen Shen''s bewitching look, she could not help but shudder. In the afternoon, Shen Po came to the hospital. Seeing that Shen You seemed to have recovered a lot, he smiled. Shen You looked at Shen Po''s slightly haggard appearance and suddenly felt a little distressed. "Eldest Brother, come over and sit for a while." Shen Po nodded and sat on the sofa by the bed, leaning against it to rest. "Have you been very busy in the company recently?" Shen You asked tentatively. "Yes! Recently..." Shen Po was about to say something, but after a pause, he said, "It''s nothing, you should rest well!" Shen You looked at Shen Po''s appearance and thought for a moment before saying, "Eldest Brother, Shen Jiao''s engagement this time... What do you think?" Hearing Shen You''s question, Shen Po was stunned. Chapter 85 - I Cannot Accept This! Shen Po looked at Shen You''s serious expression and was stunned for a moment. Then, he sat up straight and looked at Shen You. "Why did you ask that?" Shen You shook her head and said, "I just feel that this is too sudden." Shen Po pondered for a moment and nodded. "I have the same feeling!" "I originally didn''t intend to tell anyone." Shen Po paused for a moment before saying, "Although you don''t often stay in the Shen family, you should have noticed the problem." "Although Uncle Chen is our family friend, we haven''t contacted each other for some years," Shen Po stated his thoughts. "His fianc¨¦e passed away not long ago, and previously he also didn''t have much contact with Ah Jiao. Suddenly announcing the engagement..." Shen Po frowned. "I also feel that there is something wrong with this," Shen Po said with some doubt in his tone. Shen You looked at Shen Po and knew that he must have been worried about this matter for the past few days. "Then how should we resolve this matter, Eldest Brother?" Shen You asked tentatively. Shen Po was at a loss after being asked this question. He had originally thought of confirming the matter before he discussed with it Shen Hao. It was because when the matter had just happened, he did voice out his doubts to Shen Hao. However, Shen Hao had believed that Chen Shen was willing to help because of their many years of brotherhood. Since it was because of brotherhood, why would he request to be engaged to Shen Jiao? Shen Po had wanted to talk to Shen Jiao, but she always had Chen Shen by her side. Shen Po did not know what to do at the moment. Moreover, Shen Hao was so grateful to his brother for helping him in times of trouble. He did not allow others to talk bad about him. Shen Po was also helpless and could only choose to continue his investigation. Since Shen You had voiced out her doubts, he also wanted to find someone to talk to. "I think there must be something wrong with Uncle Chen," Shen Po continued, "And Ah Jiao is aware of it." "I don''t know what their purpose is," Shen Po clenched his fists. "But this feeling makes me uneasy." "Why don''t you ask Mom to talk to Shen Jiao?" Shen You suggested. "It''s no use!" Shen Po sighed dejectedly. "Every time Mom goes to see her, Uncle Chen will be by her side." "The two of them are like sticky candy, sticking together every day." The more Shen Po spoke, the more his brows furrowed. "This makes me feel even more that they are abnormal!" Shen Po''s expression became even more anxious. Shen You thought for a moment before saying, "Has there been anything from the Zhao family recently?" Shen Po glanced at Shen You before saying, "Ever since Zhao Nan was brought back home from the hospital, he has been grounded by his father." "Not only that, the Zhao family seems to be planning to cut off their economic ties with the Shen family." Shen Po''s gaze swept over Shen You strangely. Although Shen You was a little surprised, she knew that this matter had something to do with her. She did not expect the Zhao family to go this far. What exactly did they do to make the Zhao family feel so disgusted? The more Shen You thought about it, the more she could not figure it out. She could only sit on the bed and feel frustrated. Shen Po looked at Shen You''s appearance and walked forward, feeling sorry. He patted her head and comforted her, "It''s okay! Everything will be resolved!" "You don''t have to worry too much! Eldest Brother is here! You just rest well!" Shen Po said as he pinched Shen You''s cheek. "Look, you''ve lost weight!" Shen Po said as he used more strength in his hands. Shen You patted Shen Po''s hand in pain. Shen Po instantly laughed out loud. The tense atmosphere between the two of them finally relaxed a little. "During the time you''re in the hospital, don''t think about anything! The Shen family... will be fine!" Shen Po said confidently. Shen You nodded and looked at Shen Po. "I believe in you!" Shen You had once told herself confidently that the Shen family was nothing to her! But now... Shen You shook her head and smiled bitterly. Perhaps she would never be able to escape that little tie of blood! After Shen Po left, Shen You lay on the bed and read for a while before falling into a deep sleep. In her dream, she saw her past self. Lying on the hospital bed, Shen You was at her last gasp. There was no one around her. At that time, she was shouting in her heart, "I''m still young! I still want to live! I cannot accept this!" However, no one could help her! The feeling of powerlessness and loss filled Shen You''s heart... Shen You cried out loud. Chapter 86 - Automatic Conversion Function "Shen You! Shen You!" A warm voice sounded in her ear. Shen You slowly opened her wet eyes and looked towards the source of the voice. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You worriedly. "Are you okay? Why are you crying in such a manner?" "Did you have a nightmare?" Xie Xiao asked a series of questions, and her face was full of worry. Shen You wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She did shed tears! Shen You slowly sat up straight. She shook her head and smiled. "I''m fine! I just had a nightmare." "Once the nightmare is over, good luck will come!" Xie Xiao said as she took a tissue to help Shen You wipe away her tears. The corner of Shen You''s mouth curled up. She looked at Xie Xiao and said sincerely, "Thank you!" When Xie Xiao heard that, she slapped Shen You. "What nonsense are you talking about!" "We''re sisters! If you say thank you again, I''ll beat you up!" Xie Xiao said bluntly. Shen You quickly put on a pleading expression. "I don''t dare anymore! Heroine, please spare my life!" The two girls were laughing and joking in the ward. Not long after, Zhu Ge walked in from outside the door. "What are you two doing?" Xie Xiao glared at Zhu Ge. "Why are you so slow?" "Missy! You didn''t plan well and I had to run four places to get all the things that you wanted!" Zhu Ge raised the bags in his hands. Shen You looked at Zhu Ge''s expression and her face was full of smiles. She turned her head and whispered to Xie Xiao, "How is it? It works, right?" Xie Xiao secretly gave her a thumbs up. "It''s awesome!" The two girls laughed again. Zhu Ge looked at the two of them strangely and his expression became a little disdainful. "I always feel that the two of you are talking bad about me behind my back!" "But I don''t have any evidence!" Zhu Ge said with some annoyance. Shen You smiled and said, "It''s best not to simply pry into girls'' talks!" Zhu Ge sat down at the side with a mournful expression. The three of them chatted for a while before Huo Xiao came to the hospital. He brought a few more bags and handed them to Shen You. Shen You''s expression changed slightly. "Exercises again?" Huo Xiao shook his head. Shen You immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She opened the bags and was about to poke her head in to take a look. Huo Xiao spoke again. "A few reference books." Shen You froze on the spot. Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge burst out laughing as they looked at Shen You''s sorrowful expression. Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen You. "What? You want to fail the exam?" Although Shen You''s face was full of unwillingness, she did not dare to refute. "No, I don''t. I''ll study hard!" Huo Xiao was about to reach out his hand to touch Shen You''s hair when he saw the two expectant expressions on their faces. He immediately retracted his hand. "If you have any questions, just jot it down. I''ll explain to you," Huo Xiao instructed. "Okay!" Shen You said with incomparable sorrow. "If you need anything else, just let me know. I''ll bring it over for you," Huo Xiao continued to add. "Alright." Shen You still did not raise her head. She looked at the reference books in her hand that were thicker than the three-year college entrance exam and five-year simulation materials. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s dispirited look and pursed his lips into a smile. Xie Xiao''s eyes widened when he saw Huo Xiao''s expression. Was this still the cold and aloof top student from back then? The Huo Xiao who had severe mysophobia and would go straight to the hospital if he came into contact with anyone? Although it was said that severe mysophobia could be cured through psychological treatment, the fast-acting treatment method was probably a miracle in the medical world! Zhu Ge looked at the interaction between Huo Xiao and Shen You and sighed in his heart, "Zhao Nan! If you still don''t show up, I''m afraid your ''fianc¨¦e'' will run away with someone else soon!" Shen You naturally did not notice the mood of Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge. All she could think of was to blame Huo Xiao for being so proactive in mistreating her! "I feel a strong surge of luck!" The system''s voice suddenly sounded. "Ah? Why?" Shen You asked, puzzled. "Do you want to activate the auto conversion mode, dear?" The system asked. "Auto conversion mode? What mode is that?" Shen You was even more puzzled. "According to your physical condition, match the attributes that you need to strengthen and convert them into the energy that you need," the system briefly introduced. "One-click matching attribute function?" Shen You frowned. She felt that she had seen this function somewhere before. "It''s similar!" The system said speciously. "If it''s not suitable, can I choose to undo it?" Shen You asked again. "Yes, you can!" The system answered affirmatively. "Then let''s do it! It''s not bad to try the system configuration." Shen You nodded and chose the automatic conversion function. "Automatic conversion function activated, starting to match!" The system''s voice sounded a little distant. Chapter 87 - Woke Up Again Shen You felt a wave of dizziness and then fainted. Her fainting this time scared Huo Xiao and the other two. Shen You, in a daze, could only hear Xie Xiao''s screams and a series of clanging sounds. "System! What''s going on?" Shen You asked anxiously. "Automatic configuration, you need to rest for a while." The system said unhurriedly. "It''s just taking a break, why did I faint again?" Shen You was anxious. Her previous fainting had made everyone worry about her. Now that she fainted again for no reason, she could just forget about getting out of the hospital! "Don''t be anxious! Just take a break!" The system''s voice still sounded leisurely. Just as Shen You was about to explode, she felt her mind was unprecedentedly clear. In the next moment, a faint light flashed before her eyes. Shen You opened her eyes tentatively, and sure enough, she saw Huo Xiao, Xie Xiao, and Zhu Ge staring at her. There were a few doctors and nurses around, recording something. "Shen You! How are you feeling?" Xie Xiao came forward and asked anxiously. Shen You sat up with her arms propped up. "Nothing! I was probably too sleepy just now!" After Shen You said that, she smiled awkwardly. Huo Xiao did not believe Shen You''s words. His gaze was fixed on her. Shen You tried to get out of this predicament. She looked in the direction of the doctors and asked, "Why are the doctors here?" "It''s because you suddenly fainted!" Xie Xiao said unhappily. "We were talking halfway and you suddenly fainted! You scared us to death!" As Xie Xiao said that, she felt like slapping Shen You twice. However, Shen You''s condition was not very clear at the moment. Thus Xie Xiao did not dare to simply slap her. "I was scared to death just now! Fortunately, Huo Xiao reacted quickly and pressed the emergency bell!" Xie Xiao said as she glanced in Huo Xiao''s direction. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in embarrassment. "Well, sorry for causing you guys to worry..." Huo Xiao still stared at Shen You with a scrutinizing gaze. It was obvious that he did not believe Shen You''s words. Shen You did not know how to alleviate the situation. She could only withdraw her gaze gloomily and look at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao also looked at Shen You inquisitively. Shen You''s face was filled with awkwardness. She suddenly felt that it was better not to wake up than to wake up. The doctors discussed among themselves for a moment and walked over to Huo Xiao. "The patient''s current condition is not stable. We suggest that she stay in the hospital for observation for a while." One of the chief physicians said, "I will communicate with Mrs. Shen. As for the patient, you guys should chat with her more." "Let her maintain a good mentality. Perhaps..." the doctor said with uncertainty, "It will be good for her condition." When Shen You heard the doctor''s words, she instantly felt sorry for him. It was said that this chief physician claimed that there was nothing that could not be cured. He was an expert-level figure who had received a lot of attention in the academic world in recent years. However, it was unfortunate that this time, he happened to run into Shen You! After the chief physician finished speaking, he left with a few doctors and nurses. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s repentant look and frowned. "Is there anything wrong with you?" Shen You shook her head and raised both of her hands. "No! I''m perfectly fine!" Shen You was not lying. Ever since the system had automatically configured her, she felt that her body seemed to be more powerful and energetic. Besides that, she also felt that she seemed to be able to distinguish the luck value obtained through different channels. This meant that Shen You could obtain the luck value more specifically. This was simply great news for her. In the past, she could only rely on guesses to get luck value. Most of the time, she got it blindly, and the effect was not very good. Now, if she could understand clearly the way and channel to get luck value, it meant that even without Huo Xiao, the huge storage tank, Shen You would not die so easily! As Shen You thought about this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and felt that she was thinking about something. Shen You felt Huo Xiao''s gaze and immediately restrained the smile on her face. "Well, it''s getting late. Why don''t you guys go back and rest first?" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, seeking help. Xie Xiao looked at Huo Xiao''s gaze on Shen You and immediately understood. She pushed Zhu Ge and said, "You guys go back first! Shen You is tired, too!" "I''ll stay here with her for a while and then go back." Xie Xiao said and winked at Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge glanced at Huo Xiao and understood what Xie Xiao meant. Chapter 88 - Mysterious "Let''s go! Let the girls have some private talks," Zhu Ge said as he reached out his hand to put it on Huo Xiao''s shoulder. Huo Xiao dodged and glanced at Shen You. "I''ll make a move first. Have a good rest." Shen You secretly took a breath. "Okay! Be careful on the road!" Zhu Ge awkwardly retracted his hand that was left hanging in the air. He scratched his head and waved at Shen You. "Idol! I''m going off!" Shen You smiled and waved at Zhu Ge. "What''s wrong with you?" Seeing that the two of them had finally left, Xie Xiao held Shen You''s hand and asked. Shen You furrowed her brows tightly and looked at Xie Xiao. "I''m not too sure either. I just felt very tired at that moment." "Have you not recovered yet?" Xie Xiao asked again. "But the doctors can''t find anything wrong with you." "Probably it''s just my weak physique." Shen You shrugged and said, "It should be nothing." "You didn''t know about Huo Xiao''s reaction just now!" Xie Xiao smacked his lips as she said, "It shocked me!" "If I didn''t know that the two of you are not related, I would have thought that Huo Xiao is your husband!" "What nonsense are you talking about!" "It''s true! With that serious mysophobia of his, can you imagine the scene when he grabbed the doctor and interrogated him!" Xie Xiao suddenly burst out laughing. "I was shocked at that time, but now when I think about it, it''s really funny!" As Xie Xiao said that, she laughed and threw herself by Shen You''s side. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, and in her heart, she was also imagining how Huo Xiao looked like. However, she really could not imagine it. In her impression, Huo Xiao would always be the kind of person who would not be surprised by favor or humiliation. It seemed that nothing could make him show too many changes in his emotions. The most intense changes in his emotions that she had seen were probably the time when she splashed dirty water all over him. Thinking of that scene, Shen You could not help but laugh again. "What are you laughing at?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and asked. Shen You shook her head, "Nothing!" Seeing that Shen You did not want to say anything, Xie Xiao did not continue asking. She then changed the topic. "What happened to you just now?" Shen You thought for a moment, but she did not know how to explain to Xie Xiao. "This matter is a little complicated." Xie Xiao frowned and looked at Shen You. "Then put it simply." Shen You thought for a moment. "It''s probably because something is missing in my body, and I can''t bear it after replenishing it." Shen You found some not-so-precise wordings, but the meaning in principle was the same. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You with a half-understanding look. After a long while, she nodded. "Alright, then how can I help you?" Shen You held Xie Xiao''s hand and said, "It''s alright! Just like what you have said, all the bad things will pass!" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and suddenly exclaimed, "Shen You, I feel that you are very mysterious!" "Why did you say so?" Shen You''s expression changed slightly. "I don''t know! Sometimes I feel that you speak like a person who has experienced many vicissitudes of life," Xie Xiao said how she felt from the bottom of her heart. "Perhaps, I have seen too many things," Shen You answered with a half-truth. Xie Xiao did not know what Shen You was referring to, but she felt that her heart was aching. "If you have anything in the future, please tell me. I''ll help you if I can!" Xie Xiao held Shen You''s hand. Shen You smiled. "I know! Thank you!" After chatting with Shen You for a while, Xie Xiao left. Shen You tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She could not tell whether it was because of the system or Shen Jiao. In short, Shen You felt a little uneasy. After receiving the news from the hospital, Li Ru came to the hospital the next day. She looked at Shen You up and down before saying, "Are you alright? When the doctor informed me, I was scared to death." Shen You looked at Li Ru''s anxious look and shook her head. "I''m fine. Probably it''s because my body hasn''t fully recovered yet." Li Ru nodded. "Why don''t you go home and rest?" Shen You didn''t answer Li Ru immediately. She just looked at her. Li Ru thought for a moment and then shook her head. "It''s still not good! If you faint again, it''s safer to stay in the hospital." Shen You looked at Li Ru. The corner of her mouth was always smiling. Li Ru had always been struggling and hesitating alone. Shen You knew that Shen Hao would not allow her to go back. More so for Chen Shen and Shen Jiao, they would not allow Shen You to go back at this time! Chapter 89 - Cell Phone Thinking about Shen Jiao and Chen Shen, Shen You decided to ask Li Ru what she thought. "Mom, Shen Jiao and Uncle Chen are engaged?" Shen You asked tentatively. When Li Ru heard this, her expression became a little ugly. She sighed and said, "Xiao Jiao is also doing this for the Shen family..." As she said this, Li Ru felt a wave of emotion, and tears could not help but roll in her eyes. Shen You looked at Li Ru''s expression and knew that she was feeling sorry for Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao''s move was very clever. Since she had attracted the Shen family''s pity, they would not suspect that she had other thoughts. Shen You looked at Li Ru''s sad expression and asked, "Why is she with Uncle Chen?" Li Ru wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "It was your Uncle Chen who said that Ah Jiao looked like his late fianc¨¦e." "He also said that he could help the Shen family overcome this crisis," Li Ru continued, not noticing the change in Shen You''s expression. "Ah Jiao, she... she did it voluntarily," Li Ru whimpered and cried. Shen You looked at Li Ru''s sad look. She didn''t know if they didn''t realize the problem or if Shen Jiao''s acting was so good that they all believed her? Shen You looked at Li Ru''s sad look and even thought that it was funny. However, perhaps this was the relationship between mother and daughter? After all, Li Ru sincerely treated Shen Jiao as her biological daughter! Shen You suddenly felt a little pitiful. If she had been living in the Shen family all these years, would Li Ru treat her the same? All of this could only be imagined. Li Ru and Shen You chatted for a long time, mostly about what Shen Jiao had done for the Shen family. Shen You was a little annoyed, but she did not know how to stop Li Ru. Fortunately, Huo Xiao appeared in time! Huo Xiao came to the door of the ward and heard Li Ru talking about how Shen Jiao had spent a week preparing for her birthday party when she was young. Huo Xiao looked through the window and saw Shen You''s impatient expression. Shen You did not stop Li Ru, she just listened quietly. Huo Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. He greeted her, "Auntie Shen." Li Ru did not expect to see Huo Xiao, so she froze on the spot. "You''re here!" Shen You smiled sweetly and looked at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s smile and froze on the spot. Li Ru walked forward and greeted Huo Xiao, "Huo Xiao, right? You''re Xiao You''s classmate! Thank you for visiting her!" Seeing how polite Li Ru was, Huo Xiao subconsciously moved the bag of things in his hand backward. Shen You glanced at the bag of things and immediately felt that something was wrong. Li Ru chatted with Huo Xiao for a while, then took a call and left. Huo Xiao placed the bag in front of Shen You. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao warily. "What is this? Could it be another exercise?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s nervous look and felt that it was a little funny. He took out the thing in the bag and placed it in Shen You''s hand. Shen You looked at the thing and was a little surprised. "A cell phone?" "En." Huo Xiao replied and said, "It''s always inconvenient for you to be alone in the hospital." "I''ll give you this cell phone. Call me if there''s anything," Huo Xiao said seriously. Shen You opened the box and began to study the cell phone. This was the first time she had a cell phone. Although she was the daughter of the Shen family, Shen You''s status in the Shen family was obvious. Moreover, Shen Hao had prohibited his children from using a cell phone before adulthood, for fear that they would affect their studies. Shen You fiddled with the cell phone, but she still couldn''t get the point. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He walked to Shen You''s side and naturally leaned against the bedside. He picked up the cell phone in Shen You''s hand and demonstrated it to her. This was the first time Huo Xiao had gotten so close to Shen You that Shen you could feel Huo Xiao''s body temperature. At that moment, Shen You subconsciously wanted to run away. Although she had always been careless, whenever someone wanted to get close to her, she would subconsciously avoid them. This time, Huo Xiao''s approach was too sudden, and Shen You did not have time to react. Huo Xiao seemed to sense Shen You''s emotions and immediately put the phone back into her hand. "Try it yourself!" Huo Xiao said as he guided Shen You to operate the phone. All of a sudden, Shen You did not have the time to feel any more body heat.. All her attention was on the phone. Chapter 90 - New Phone Shen You was focused on examining the phone while Huo Xiao was staring at her. "Is this your number?" Shen You noticed that there was a phone number already stored in the phone and turned to ask. Huo Xiao was stunned when he was asked this question suddenly. He just looked at her. Shen You did not expect Huo Xiao to look fixedly at her in this manner and was stunned for a moment. When Xie Xiao walked into the ward and saw the scene, she snickered and then coughed loudly. Shen You and Huo Xiao woke up from their daze and looked at the other side to ease the awkwardness. Xie Xiao walked forward and looked at the phone in Shen You''s hand. "Yo! You''re sitting on the bed and the phone came from the sky?" "Huo Xiao sent it over." Shen You pursed her lips and still looked a little embarrassed. Xie Xiao saw Shen You''s expression and wanted to tease her even more. "Huo Xiao is so generous. This phone is much better than mine!" Shen You picked up the phone and handed it to Xie Xiao. "Why don''t we exchange?" "I wouldn''t dare!" Xie Xiao quickly rejected. "There might be something that Huo Xiao saved in here." Thinking of the only phone number saved in the phone, Shen You smiled. "There''s nothing! It''s a new phone!" Xie Xiao ignored her and sat down beside Shen You''s bed. "Quick! Let me see!" The two of them leaned their heads against each other and studied the phone''s functions together, completely ignoring Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao stood awkwardly on the spot. After a moment, he said, "I''ll go buy you guys some drinks." Huo Xiao then left quickly. Looking at Huo Xiao''s back as he left, the corners of Shen You''s mouth curled up slightly. This was the first phone she had in this life, and it was also the first gift that someone had given her in her two lifetimes. She did not know what that feeling was. However, she was grateful to Huo Xiao for making her feel valued! When Huo Xiao returned to the ward again, he found that Li Ru and Shen Jiao had come to the hospital together. Huo Xiao frowned as he looked at Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao lowered her head throughout. She no longer looked as proud as before. Xie Xiao was like a hen protecting a chick, standing in front of Shen You. Li Ru was standing beside Shen You''s bed with an apologetic expression on her face. Huo Xiao walked into the ward and came to Shen You''s bedside. Li Ru still had an apologetic expression on her face, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. Her gaze was fixed on Shen You. "Xiao You, I''m begging you, okay?" Shen You looked at Li Ru expressionlessly. No one knew what she was thinking. Huo Xiao did not say anything. He just stood quietly beside Shen You. Xie Xiao glared at Li Ru angrily. "Auntie! What''s the point of forcing Xiao You!" "But, Ah Jiao, she..." Li Ru said as tears were slowly flowing down her face. "You feel sorry for Shen Jiao. Don''t you feel sorry for Xiao You? She''s your biological daughter!" Xie Xiao became even angrier. "No! That''s not what I meant!" Li Ru immediately refuted. "I just, I just want Xiao You to understand us, to understand Ah Jiao''s difficulties," Li Ru said guiltily. Xie Xiao suddenly sneered, "You want Xiao You to understand you? Have you ever understood her?" "Shen Jiao said that she''s willing to give up everything for the Shen family. Now that she changed her mind at the last minute, and you want to use Xiao You as a scapegoat?" Xie Xiao looked past Li Ru and glared fiercely at Shen Jiao. "No! This is not the case!" Li Ru spoke again and interceded for Shen Jiao. "She had no choice!" The tears on Li Ru''s face were flowing down her cheeks. "At that time, she had wanted to bear all of this for the Shen family!" Li Ru looked back at Shen Jiao. Then, she walked over, pulled Shen Jiao up, and returned to the bed. She rolled up Shen Jiao''s sleeve and showed Shen You the injuries on her arm. "But, I didn''t expect Chen Shen to actually..." Shen You looked at the injuries on Shen Jiao''s arms expressionlessly. The scars were of different depths and looked like she had been beaten up several times. Shen Jiao hurriedly pulled down her sleeve. She looked as if she was frightened and timid. Shen You looked at Shen Jiao''s expression, and for some reason, she felt a chill in her heart. Li Ru looked at Shen Jiao, and her face was full of pain. "How can Ah Jiao stand it if this goes on!" "That''s why you came here to let Xiao You replace Shen Jiao?" Xie Xiao''s tone rose even higher, and she became even angrier. "No! No!" Li Ru quickly waved her arms. "I just hope that Xiao You can discuss with the Zhao family and see if we can continue with the engagement...." Li Ru''s gaze was fixed on Shen You, with a strong sense of pleading. Chapter 91 - Engagement Continued Huo Xiao listened to their conversation by the side, then looked at Shen You and Shen Jiao''s expressions. At this moment, it was inconvenient for him to speak. Thus he could only watch them continue to argue. Shen You remained silent, her gaze darting back and forth between Li Ru and Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao, on the other hand, kept her head low. She looked a little timid as if she had been greatly frightened. Occasionally, she would glance at Shen You and Huo Xiao with a hint of scheming. Hearing Li Ru''s words, Shen You felt sad and helpless. She had thought that Li Ru had finally treated her as a daughter and was finally willing to share a part of her love with her. At least, during the time she was in the hospital, Shen You had seen a little bit of Li Ru''s love. Unexpectedly, when Shen Jiao walked in between them, everything went back to square one again. Shen You felt a little sad for herself. She knew that she might never be as good as Shen Jiao in this lifetime. As long as Shen Jiao was still around, she would never be able to have Li Ru''s love! During the confrontation between Xie Xiao and Li Ru, Shen You seemed to have thought things through. She looked at Li Ru and said slowly, "I will try to communicate with the Zhao family. I can''t guarantee that it will succeed." "The Zhao family said that as long as the engagement continues, they can help!" Li Ru said anxiously. The corner of Shen You''s mouth twitched. They had already contacted the Zhao family. They were just waiting for her to jump in! Shen You nodded and said, "Then you guys can go back first! I''m tired!" Shen You did not hesitate to send them away. She did not want to see Li Ru and Shen Jiao anymore. Li Ru saw Shen You''s attitude and immediately panicked. "Xiao You, I..." Shen You did not want to listen anymore. She turned around and lay down. Xie Xiao stood in front of Li Ru again. "Auntie! Please go back! Xiao You is a patient and she needs to rest!" Li Ru could only sigh and turn around to leave. Shen Jiao came forward and supported Li Ru. Her gaze swept past Xie Xiao and landed on Shen You. Then, she turned away. After Li Ru and Shen Jiao left, Xie Xiao angrily sat by the bed. "How can there be such a shameless woman!" "What''s going on?" Huo Xiao finally asked. Shen You slowly sat up, her eyes filled with disappointment. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and felt her heartache. "The moment they came, they said that Shen Jiao no longer could get engaged to that Chen Shen!" "They said that the responsibility of saving the Shen family now falls on Shen You." Xie Xiao became angrier as she spoke. "Why? What did the Shen family give to Shen You? And now they want Shen You to sacrifice herself for the Shen family?" Xie Xiao was full of anger and her tone was very angry. Hearing Xie Xiao''s words, the corner of Shen You''s mouth curled up. She raised her hand and gently held Xie Xiao''s hand. She knew that Xie Xiao was standing up for her! Shen You held Xie Xiao''s hand and finally felt a trace of warmth. "It''s nothing. They just wanted me to sort things out with the Zhao family," Shen You said indifferently. The engagement between Shen Jiao and Chen Shen itself was already ridiculous enough. Now that Shen Jiao wanted to break off the engagement, Shen You could also understand. However, she was not too sure if Shen Jiao''s injuries were caused by Chen Shen? Although Chen Shen was a little vicious, he was only scheming. Would he hit a woman? Although Shen You could not figure it out, there was no need to think about it in depth. Since Li Ru brought Shen Jiao over, it must have been Shen Hao''s idea. Otherwise, in the eyes of Shen Hao who mainly cared about the interests of the Shen family, no matter how Shen Jiao''s engagement would not be called off! Huo Xiao stared at Shen You. "How are you going to talk to Zhao Nan?" Shen You thought for a moment. "Zhao Nan should also want to get rid of this marriage. I''ll have a good talk with him." Huo Xiao frowned. He had a feeling that Shen You had misjudged Zhao Nan. Based on Huo Xiao''s observation of Zhao Nan, he had no intention of letting go! Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and frowned. "Are you sure Zhao Nan will talk to you nicely?" "Every time he talks to you, he huffs and puffs!" Xie Xiao wrinkled his nose, looking very cute. Shen You reached out and scratched Xie Xiao''s nose. "He huffs and puffs with everyone!" "Besides! I have good conditions for him. I''m not afraid that he won''t agree!" Shen You said meaningfully. "Good terms? What good conditions? Tell me!" Xie Xiao asked curiously. "It''s the whereabouts of a person he cares about!" Shen You grinned and showed a victorious smile. She was sure that that person was much more important than her in Zhao Nan''s heart! As long as she used this news to exchange with him, Zhao Nan would agree to break off the engagement! Chapter 92 - Breaking Off The Engagement? Impossible! Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s confident expression, but he was not as relaxed as she was. Zhao Nan had a very strange temper. He would not care about anything that he did not like. However, if he had his eyes on prey, he would never give up! Shen You did not know what Huo Xiao was thinking. She only wanted to contact Zhao Nan as soon as possible. She took out the phone and asked Xie Xiao, "Do you have Zhao Nan''s phone number?" Xie Xiao immediately took out her phone. "Yes!" Just as Shen You was about to call Zhao Nan''s phone number, Huo Xiao reached out his hand and grabbed the phone. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in confusion. "What''s the matter?" Huo Xiao frowned and seemed a little unhappy. Shen You did not know what Huo Xiao was angry about, so she could only look at him blankly. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You, and after a moment, he let go. "Nothing. I just checked if there''s still battery!" "Oh," Shen You mumbled and continued to make the call. Huo Xiao stared at the first number on the contact list, feeling very upset. Zhao Nan was sitting in his room, staring blankly at the stack of books in front of him. Ever since his father took him home by force, he had been grounded. He had tried to escape through the window, and he had also tried to seek help from the outside world. But his father, Zhao Ang, was a serious and scrupulous person. Not to mention the help from the outsiders, even if Zhao Nan climbed out of the window and fell to his death, his body would still be brought back to the room and be grounded before his father gave his order! Zhao Nan sat at the table looking at the books on the table, "Are you okay?" Suddenly, Zhao Nan''s cell phone rang. It was an unknown number. He hesitated for a moment, but he still picked it up. To Zhao Nan, unfamiliar calls were always harassing calls. He would only pick up calls from the phone numbers that he had saved. However, he seemed to have picked up this call at the behest of supernatural powers. And it was Shen You calling! "Shen You? How come it''s you?" Zhao Nan''s voice sounded a little excited. Shen You heard the inexplicable excitement on the other side of the phone and was a little surprised. "Uh, are you okay? I heard that you were locked up?" Hearing Shen You''s concern, the corners of Zhao Nan''s mouth unconsciously curled up. "I''m fine! I''m pretty good!" "Zhao Nan, is it convenient for you to come over to the hospital? I have something to talk to you," Shen you asked tentatively. Zhao Nan frowned. "What''s the matter?" Shen You hesitated for a moment and said, "About our engagement." Zhao Nan''s expression turned slightly cold. "What do you want to talk about?" "You... can you come over and we talk in person?" Shen You asked again. Zhao Nan thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Wait for me!" Zhao Nan hung up the phone and walked to his father''s study. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Zhao Ang''s voice sounded from the study. "Come in!" Zhao Nan pushed the door open and walked in. "Dad! I want to go to the hospital to see Shen You!" "You''re grounded!" Zhao Ang stared at the document in his hand and said without raising his head. "She said she wants to talk to me about the engagement," Zhao Nan said again. Zhao Ang slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Nan. "Okay! Then talk it out once and for all! I don''t want any more dilly-dallying!" Zhao Nan nodded. "No! I''ll settle it this time!" Zhao Ang finally nodded in satisfaction. "I believe you can settle your matters!" "Give me an answer when you come back today." Zhao Ang spoke again before Zhao Nan turned and left. Zhao Nan stopped in his tracks. "Alright!" Zhao Nan came to the hospital and saw Xie Xiao and Shen You chatting. He looked at Shen You and noticed that she seemed to be in good condition. She looked completely different from when she was sent to the hospital. Shen You saw Zhao Nan. "You''re here." Zhao Nan nodded. Xie Xiao stood up and was about to leave when Shen You reached out and held her back. "You don''t have to go out. It''s a quick one." Zhao Nan''s expression became a little strange. He walked over to Shen You''s bed and sat down on the sofa on the other side. "What do you want to talk about?" "I want to break off the engagement," Shen You said firmly. Zhao Nan replied without hesitation, "Impossible!" Shen You frowned and stared at Zhao Nan. "Why are you so persistent? You don''t like me! Why are we torturing each other?" "Why are you..." Zhao Nan stopped halfway and did not continue. After a moment, he said, "Don''t worry about what I want to do! It''s impossible to break off the engagement!" Shen You was furious, but she didn''t know how to reason with him. Finally, she took out her trump card. "I know where Zhao Pu is." Zhao Nan''s expression instantly changed.. He stared at Shen You. "How do you know?" Chapter 93 - Breaking Off The Engagement Shen You gave a mysterious grin. "I can tell you where Zhao Pu is, but we have to break off this engagement." Zhao Nan gritted his teeth and looked at Shen You. "You''re threatening me!" Shen You revealed a sweet smile. "Then, do you want to accept the threat?" Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and restrained himself from strangling her. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright! Tell me!" A victorious smile appeared on Shen You''s face as she winked at Xie Xiao who was beside her. Xie Xiao also had a smile on her face. She was genuinely happy for Shen You''s release. "Zhao Pu''s disappearance is related to a person. I think you should know about it!" Shen You said as she looked at Zhao Nan. Zhao Pu was Zhao Nan''s eldest brother. He was the one who had taken care of Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan''s parents had always been busy with business and had no time to take care of their children. Zhao Pu was seven years older than Zhao Nan. He had brought up his younger brother since he was young. It could be said that Zhao Pu was Zhao Nan''s greatest reliance and the person Zhao Nan trusted the most. However, three years ago, Zhao Pu suddenly disappeared and there was no news of him since then. Shen You was not sure that if this person was related to Zhao Pu''s disappearance. She only remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Pu had returned when he was already 30 years old. At that time, he had returned from the United States with a little girl who was four or five years old. It was said that he had lived in a small village in the United States until his wife died. Shen You remembered the name of the small village. She also remembered that Zhao Pu was a person who looked very bright and warm. When Zhao Nan heard Shen You''s words, his expression changed again and again. "Are you saying he left with that person?" Zhao Nan''s questioning made Shen You a little nervous. She summarized the information in her memory. Zhao Nan stared at Shen You without blinking. He seemed to have an answer in his heart. But Shen You was not sure about that answer. Shen You pondered for a moment and decided to trust her inner judgment. "No! He left alone!" Hearing Shen You''s words, the way Zhao Nan looked at her changed instantly. "You really know where he is?" Zhao Nan grabbed Shen You''s hand and asked. Now Shen You knew that she had guessed correctly! However, she had another doubt "You know the whereabouts of the person who made him leave, right?" Zhao Nan''s expression became a little ugly. His gaze swept in Xie Xiao''s direction, but he remained silent. Shen You knew that she had no way of getting information from him. Shen You took a deep breath and said, "Since you want to know where Zhao Pu is, I can tell you. But I have one condition." "I have already promised you to break off the engagement." Zhao Nan looked at Shen You with a slightly impatient gaze. "I think Uncle Zhao is also very interested in the news about Zhao Pu," Shen You said slowly. Sure enough, Zhao Nan''s expression darkened slightly. "Alright! Speak!" "I think you know about the Shen family''s current crisis." Shen You looked at Zhao Nan seriously. "I hope you can discuss it with Uncle Zhao and help the Shen family overcome this crisis," Shen You said solemnly. "Why? You care about the Shen family?" The corner of Zhao Nan''s mouth lifted slightly as he looked at Shen You. Shen You''s expression did not change as she shook her head. "No! I just want to live in peace." "I don''t want them to harass me again!" Shen You tried her best to remain calm. Xie Xiao walked forward and patted Shen You''s back gently. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You''s depressed look and his heart suddenly ached. "The Shen family forced you again to get engaged?" Zhao Nan asked tentatively. "Didn''t Shen Jiao get engaged to Chen Shen to solve this crisis?" Zhao Nan asked uncertainly. "Don''t talk about that disgusting guy!" Xie Xiao finally couldn''t help but speak up. "She said that she would give everything for the Shen family!" Xie Xiao said fiercely, "In the end, she only delayed the Shen family''s time to save themselves and threw everything back to Xiao You!" "This afternoon, the mother and daughter came to the hospital and forced Xiao You to talk about the engagement with you!" The more Xie Xiao said, the angrier she became. "I''ve never seen such a shameless person!" Xie Xiao gnashed her teeth and said. "She was the one who messed up everything, but she wanted to throw the responsibility onto Xiao You!" Xie Xiao put her hands on Shen You''s shoulders. Shen You patted Xie Xiao''s hands and said, "It''s okay! After this matter is resolved, I have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore!" Looking at Shen You''s determined expression, Zhao Nan had a feeling that he seemed to have been farther and farther away from Shen You. Chapter 94 - Whats Your Motive? "I can suggest to my father." Zhao Nan gave his promise. "I can''t guarantee the outcome, but I will try hard." Shen You looked at Zhao Nan with a firm expression. "I know you have a way." After hearing what Shen You said, Zhao Nan suddenly felt a little guilty. He did have a trump card that could make Zhao Ang take action, but he wasn''t sure if he should use it. After hearing what Shen You said, Zhao Nan felt that everything about him had been exposed to Shen You. Seeing that Zhao Nan did not speak, Shen You knew that she had guessed it right! Back then, Zhao Nan had also used a lot of tricks to break off the engagement with her. Zhao Ang firmly felt that since they had already promised the engagement, they should keep their promise and not break off the engagement no matter what. Zhao Nan finally took out his trump card to negotiate with Zhao Ang and finally settled the engagement. Shen You knew that it was not that Zhao Nan did not resist, but he was not forced to the end. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You''s face. She was so sure and so confident. Such Shen You made Zhao Nan feel a little unfamiliar, and also a little distant. Just as Zhao Nan was about to say something, Zhu Ge rushed in from outside the ward. "Idol! I heard that there was an otaku scene here today? Why didn''t you wait for me!" Zhu Ge said. When he saw Zhao Nan, he was suddenly stunned. "Eh? How did you escape?" Zhu Ge stared at Zhao Nan in confusion. Zhao Nan glanced at Zhu Ge. "I walked out openly!" "Your father agreed to let you out?" Zhu Ge pouted. "I don''t believe it!" Zhao Nan couldn''t be bothered with him. He only said to Shen You, "I will do my best for what you said!" "Our engagement..." Zhao Nan paused for a moment. "It ends here!" "Then, can you tell me where he is?" Zhao Nan asked anxiously. Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan''s serious expression and seemed to have guessed the problem that the two of them were discussing. He leaned forward and stared at Shen You. Zhu Ge knew that Zhao Nan had been looking for that person. Zhao Nan had been looking for him for three years. He had used all his connections but did not succeed. Could it be that Shen You really knew the whereabouts of that person? Shen You took out a pen and paper and wrote down an address. "I only know his approximate location." "The rest will depend on you!" Shen You handed the note to Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan held the note, and his hands were slightly trembling. "Okay! I will send someone over! If we can find him, the Zhao family will help the Shen family!" Zhao Nan gave his promise. Shen You raised her head and grinned, giving Zhao Nan a sweet smile. "Okay! I trust you!" Zhao Nan looked at that smile and was a little stunned. He did not know why, but he had a feeling that Shen You''s hospitalization this time seemed to have made her... more beautiful? Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he held the note in his palm. "Have a good rest! I''m making a move first!" Seeing that Zhao Nan was leaving in a haste, Xie Xiao could not help but laugh. "This guy seems to be feeling shy!" Zhu Ge also looked at Zhao Nan''s back as he was leaving. The expression on his face was a little strange. Shen You put away the pen and paper and picked up her phone to send a message. Zhu Ge came back to his senses and looked at Shen You. He grinned and said, "Idol! It''s a new phone! Let''s exchange numbers!" Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge with some disgust. "Do you know that your expression looks disgusting?" The smile on Zhu Ge''s face deepened. "Why? I can be even more disgusting. Do you want to see it?" Xie Xiao waved her hand. "Stay away from me!" Shen You put her phone away and looked at Zhu Ge''s expression. "Zhu Ge, you''ve been coming to the hospital a lot recently. It''s been hard on you." Zhu Ge was stunned by Shen You''s words. Then, he waved his hand. "My idol is in the hospital. Of course, I have to visit you often!" A smile appeared on Shen You''s face. "Perhaps, you have other motives?" Zhu Ge''s expression changed when he heard Shen You''s words. Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge in surprise. Then, she asked Shen You, "Motive? What motive could he have?" Shen You saw Zhu Ge''s expression change slightly. Then, she said in a relaxed manner, "Of course, he''s here to anger you!" Zhu Ge let out a sigh of relief when he heard Shen You''s words. The smile on Shen You''s face did not change. Her gaze met Zhu Ge''s. At that moment, Zhu Ge''s heart tightened slightly. He felt that Shen You seemed to know everything in his heart. That feeling was very strange! Zhu Ge avoided his gaze from Shen You, and then he walked over to Xie Xiao with a smile. "That''s right! I''m afraid that you won''t get used to it if you don''t see me for a day!" Looking at Zhu Ge''s somewhat rogue appearance, the smile on Shen You''s face deepened. Chapter 95 - Discharge Zhu Ge felt that Shen You''s gaze had been scanning him back and forth. That feeling was as if she wanted to see him clearly from the inside out. Zhu Ge immediately felt a little uneasy and did not stay for long before he left in a hurry. Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge''s hurried escape and could not help but furrow his brows. "Why is this person so strange today?" Shen You smiled and said, "It''s probably because of something." Shen You said it casually. However, Zhao Nan and Zhu Ge felt that the current Shen You was a little strange. Three days had passed and the doctor had allowed Sheng You to go to school. Xie Xiao happily came over to help her pack her things. Shen You had also already prepared her luggage which had one or two of her clothes. After completing the discharge procedures, the two of them were about to leave when Zhao Nan came to the ward. "Are you preparing to discharge?" Zhao Nan looked at the small bag in Xie Xiao''s hand and asked. Shen You nodded. "I''ve lived here for more than a month, and my body was about to fall apart!" Zhao Nan wanted to open his mouth to stop her, but he thought about it and decided not to. "I''ve sent people to look for him. He''s indeed there," Zhao Nan said, his eyes filled with gratitude. "I want to know, how did you know that he is there?" Zhao Nan asked curiously. "That place is very remote. My people searched for two days before they found him!" Zhao Nan''s tone was a little agitated. Shen You shrugged. She wanted to say that it was not convenient to reveal it, but she thought about it and said, "Find a place and eat something. Let''s talk while we eat?" She had been in the hospital for more than a month, and she was dying of cravings! Now that a sucker had come to treat her to food, Shen You was more than happy to do so! Zhao Nan had no intention of rejecting Shen You''s suggestion. He walked forward and took over the small luggage from Xie Xiao''s hands. He turned around and made a gesture of inviting Shen You. "Let''s go! You choose the place!" Shen You smiled and held Xie Xiao''s hand as they walked out of the ward. The place that Shen You chose was the food stall that she often frequented previously. Zhao Nan had never been to such a place before. He looked at the slightly shabby place and was at a loss. "Young Master Zhao, it''s been hard on you to come to such a place with us!" Shen You said insincerely. She did not have the slightest sympathy for Zhao Nan''s predicament. She warmly greeted the boss and ordered a table full of food that she wanted to eat. Zhao Nan sat awkwardly on the spot. He watched Xie Xiao pour hot water into a cup and then began to wash the tableware. The Zhao family had a strict upbringing. They never allowed Zhao Nan to go to crowded places, especially places like the food stalls. In Zhao Ang''s eyes, it was a place that hid filth and dirt. Zhao Nan looked at the people around the table who were eating heartily, and his expression became even more strange. Shen You patted Zhao Nan''s shoulder. "Relax! Don''t look like a young wife who is being bullied!" Zhao Nan shook off Shen You''s hand and adjusted his emotions. "I''m not! I''m just curious, will the food in such a place taste good?" Coincidentally, the boss came over with a plate. He glanced at Zhao Nan and asked Shen You, "Your friend?" Shen You chuckled. "Boss! This guy has never seen the world! Don''t mind him!" The boss looked at Zhao Nan again before he left. "I''m begging you! Even if you want to ask, don''t say it in front of the boss, okay!" Zhao Nan grinned awkwardly. "I''m sorry." Xie Xiao looked at Zhao Nan''s expression and used her shoulder to rebuke Shen You. "Why does this guy look so silly when he comes here?" Shen You burst out laughing and looked at Zhao Nan. "He looks a little cute, doesn''t he?" Zhao Nan''s face immediately darkened. He looked at the two of them and said, "I just don''t like this atmosphere." At this moment, the boss once again served a few plates of dishes. Shen You opened the cutlery and said bluntly, "Quick! I''ve been missing these for a long time!" As she said that, Shen You picked up some food for Zhao Nan and Xie Xiao and began to enjoy the delicacies. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and for a moment, he felt that she was a little cute. In the past, Zhao Nan was extremely disgusted with Shen You''s "uncultured" behavior. However, he didn''t know when he had begun to appreciate Shen You''s true nature. After eating, the three of them walked towards the coffee shop. "Eh? Shen You, you''re not dead?" A female voice sounded behind the three of them. The three of them turned around, and the female voice cried out in surprise, "Zhao Nan, why are you...." Chapter 96 - Watching The Show Shen You looked at Lu Man and Jiang Yi, who were looking at them in shock. She found it funny. "Why? Did you see a ghost?" Lu Man subconsciously wanted to nod. When she saw Shen You and Xie Xiao, she thought that Zhu Ge would be with them. She didn''t expect it to be Zhao Nan! Zhao Nan looked at Lu Man, expressionless. Lu Man nervously shrunk her shoulders, then secretly gritted her teeth. "D*mn you, Shen You! It''s all your fault!" Shen You could feel Lu Man''s venomous gaze on her. She was already used to such a gaze. Shen You shrugged and didn''t care. Zhao Nan looked at Lu Man and asked indifferently, "What did you say just now?" Lu Man was nervous and almost repeated what she had just said. Fortunately, Jiang Yi covered her mouth. "Nothing!" "Um, are you guys going home?" Jiang Yi looked at the bag in Zhao Nan''s hand and then looked at Shen You. "Shen You, are you discharged from the hospital?" Shen You felt that Jiang Yi''s question was a little funny. "Yes! I''m still not used to being cared for by you." Jiang Yi grinned, feeling even more awkward. Lu Man wanted to say something, but Jiang Yi covered her mouth and she could not move at all. She shook her limbs, trying to express her dissatisfaction with Shen You with her actions. Seeing that Zhao Nan''s gaze was getting colder, Jiang Yi immediately grabbed Lu Man''s arm and ran back. Shen You looked at the backs of the two people leaving and could not help but shake her head. She looked at Zhao Nan. "Look at how you scared the girls!" Zhao Nan looked at Shen You. "What? What have I said?" The corner of Shen You''s mouth twitched slightly. "Nothing! Nothing at all!" After Shen You said that she grabbed Xie Xiao''s hand and ran towards the coffee shop. Xie Xiao was pulled by Shen You, but she still could not help but ask, "Why did you suddenly cower?" "No, no, no! That King of Hell looks scary!" Shen You said truthfully. The three of them entered the coffee shop, but they did not expect Huo Xiao to be already there. "Huo Xiao? Why are you here?" Shen You was a little surprised to see Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao looked at Zhao Nan, who was carrying her school bag, and walked up to Shen You. "I went to the hospital to see you, and then I found out that you had been discharged." "Why didn''t you call me?" Shen You scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "I''m not used to it yet." Zhao Nan looked at Huo Xiao and Shen You as they spoke. He then threw her school bag forward. "Carry your bag yourself!" Shen You subconsciously caught the bag that flashed in front of her. "You scared me!" Xie Xiao leaned against a pillar at the side, looking like she was watching a good show. Xie Chen had just come out of the kitchen. When she saw this, she curiously walked to Xie Xiao''s side. "What''s going on?" "Sis! Do you have any melon seeds?" Xie Xiao asked incoherently. "Ah?" Xie Chen did not know what Xie Xiao was thinking. She looked at her with a blank expression. "I''m watching a show! Prepare the melon seeds and tea!" Xie Xiao said matter-of-factly. Her gaze did not leave the two people in front of her at all. Xie Chen burst out laughing when she saw Xie Xiao performing a show of the onlookers eating melon seeds and watching the show. Shen You heard the laughter and turned back to look, only to find Xie Xiao looking like she was asking for a beating. She turned back again, only to find that she, Huo Xiao, and Zhao Nan were standing in a triangle. Shen You took two big steps back and finally retreated to a position that she felt safe. Huo Xiao''s expression did not change at all when he saw Shen You''s actions. Zhao Nan turned his head and glared at Shen You, then his gaze shifted to Huo Xiao. Just as Shen You was about to speak, the door was pushed open. Wu Qi and Ling Rui walked in and could not help but be stunned when they saw the three of them. Wu Qi composed herself and walked to Shen You''s side. She looked at Huo Xiao and said, "Huo Xiao, I have something to tell you." Huo Xiao glanced at Wu Qi but did not reply. Shen You looked at Wu Qi''s resentful eyes and for some reason, her heart ached. At this moment, Shen Jiao appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop. She pushed the door open and walked towards Shen You aggressively. Without warning, she slapped Shen You in the face. Shen You was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. Shen Jiao was about to step forward and give another kick, but Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan grabbed her arms at the same time. Shen Jiao struggled with all her might, but she could not break free from the hands of the two men. She glared at Shen You angrily. "It''s all your fault!" Shen You slowly stood up straight.. The red marks on her face were obvious. Chapter 97 - Extra Luck Value Shen You looked at Shen Jiao who looked like a madwoman. Her expression was calm. She walked towards Shen Jiao and her eyes were staring at Sheng Jiao''s red eyes. She used to be afraid of those eyes. She was afraid to see those eyes looking at her as if she was a clown. Now, seeing those eyes again, Shen You felt that it was a little funny. Shen Jiao struggled with all her might. Seeing that she could not shake off the two''s grips, she kicked and tried to reach Shen You. Such Shen Jiao came as a surprise to Xie Xiao. This was not the usually gentle and virtuous daughter of the Shen family! If Shen Jiao''s admirers at school saw her behavior now, they would probably bang their heads against the wall! Finally, Shen Jiao seemed to be tired. She stopped. Shen You took a few steps forward and looked at Shen Jiao. "You''re saying that I ruined your plans?" Shen Jiao raised her chin and glared at Shen You. "Why did you break off the engagement with the Zhao family?" "And you! Where''s your persistence? ! You swore in front of the two families that the engagement must proceed with Shen You!" Shen Jiao yelled at Zhao Nan. Shen Jiao''s words stunned everyone present. Huo Xiao''s gaze swept across Zhao Nan''s face before shifting to Shen You. Shen You did not notice Huo Xiao''s actions. Instead, she stared intently at Shen Jiao. "I was the one who was originally engaged to the Zhao family. What does it have to do with you if I break off the engagement now?" "What right do you have! I was the one who was engaged to Zhao Nan!" Shen Jiao shouted with all her might. Shen You looked at Shen Jiao and smiled, "Is that so? Why do I remember that the engagement is between Zhao Nan and the Shen family''s daughter?" Shen Jiao''s expression changed again when she heard Shen You''s words. "So what? Am I not?" Shen Jiao tried to maintain her dignity and looked at Shen You raising her chin. "Are you?" Shen You asked gently. However, her gentle words made Shen Jiao feel as if she was being dismembered. Not many people knew that Shen Jiao was not the real daughter of the Shen family. Although everyone knew that Shen You was the child that the Shen family left behind, they could tell that Shen Jiao and Shen You were blood-related sisters from the way the Shen family treated Shen Jiao. No one guessed that Shen Jiao was the fake daughter. Except for Xie Chen and Xie Xiao, even Wu Qi and Ling Rui knew that Shen Jiao, the daughter of the Shen family, was fake! Shen Jiao glared at Shen You angrily as if she wanted to chop Shen You into pieces. Shen You didn''t care about Shen Jiao''s attitude. After all, she had already experienced a worse attitude than this. She originally did not want to fight for everything in the Shen family. To her, all of that was meaningless. However, since Shen Jiao was pressing her step by step, Shen You had no reason to retreat! Since the enemy was already in front of her, she could not just wait to be killed! Shen Jiao did not seem to think that Shen You would have such an attitude. When did that rural girl, who had always been obedient, become so... unpredictable! That''s right! The old Shen You was very easy to understand. Everything she did, every word she said, was something that Shen Jiao could think of and design. However, ever since Shen You moved out of the Shen family, everything had changed! She had become unpredictable, and even a little scary! Shen Jiao did not know why, but she suddenly felt a little afraid to look into Shen You''s eyes. Shen You did not want to push Shen Jiao too hard. After all, the person behind her was more important! Shen You slowly took a step back and said to Shen Jiao, "I don''t care what you think or what you want to do to the Shen family..." "I won''t interfere with you!" Shen You promised her. "But I also hope that you won''t step into my territory, or else..." As Shen You said this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "I can''t guarantee what I''ll do!" Hearing Shen You''s words, Shen Jiao felt a chill down her spine. She abruptly shook off Zhao Nan and Huo Xiao''s hands that were holding her. The two of them had loosened their grips, not controlling her anymore. Shen Jiao bit her lower lip and said to Shen You, "You''d better not affect me! Otherwise, I''ll make you..." Just as Shen Jiao wanted to say something, Xie Xiao walked up to Shen You. Shen Jiao was taken aback. The momentum that she had just gathered was gone in an instant. Her expression became even uglier. "Anyway! You better take care of yourself!" After saying that, Shen Jiao turned around and ran away! "Ding! Additional luck value input." The system''s voice sounded. The corner of Shen You''s mouth rose even higher. "There''s such a good thing! It looks like I can take Shen Jiao out for a walk from time to time to increase some additional luck value!" Chapter 98 - Huo Xiaos Fianc茅e Shen You was very pleased and proud but Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan did not look too happy. Shen You did not notice this and was still thinking about how to get more luck value from Shen Jiao. Xie Xiao had noticed that the two''s did not look right, so he elbowed Shen You on her ribs. Shen You howled, clutching her ribs as she glared at Xie Xiao. "What are you doing? Murdering me? My ribs are broken!" Xie Xiao glanced at Shen You and gestured towards Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan with her mouth. Then she tactfully took a few steps back. Before Shen You could understand what Xie Xiao meant, the two men in front of her were already walking towards her. Shen You subconsciously turned around and ran. However, she was only 1.6 meters tall and how could she possibly outrun the two 1.8 meter tall men? Shen You was helpless as she was grabbed by her collar and arm. She stood there aggrievedly. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and gloated over her misfortune. Only after Shen You glared at her did she remember to ask for help. She desperately threw out a distress signal, but Xie Xiao hid at the side with an ''I''m afraid, too!'' expression. "Shouldn''t you explain what''s going on with Shen Jiao?" Zhao Nan glared at Shen You and asked coldly. Although Huo Xiao did not say anything, he grabbed Shen You''s arm even harder. Shen You cursed in her heart, "Didn''t one of these two persons despise her so much? And the other has a serious obsession with cleanliness?" "Since when they have become so well-coordinated?" Shen You was quietly annoyed. She waved her hand that was not grabbed. "Let go of me first! I''ll tell the truth!" Huo Xiao let go of her hand and stepped back, waiting for Shen You''s reply. Zhao Nan hesitated for a moment and also let go of her hand gently so that Shen You didn''t have to stand on her toes. Shen You slowly turned around and faced the two of them. "It''s nothing! Shen Jiao didn''t intend to get engaged in the first place." "She put on a show with Chen Shen. The purpose was to make the Shen family think that she''s the savior." Shen You pouted as if she was already used to it. "After that, she said that she didn''t want to get married in the first place, but it''s for the sake of the Shen family." Shen You was imagining that scene vividly in her mind. "My mother has always felt for Shen Jiao. Thus she wanted me to solve the problems of the Shen family." Shen You glanced at Zhao Nan. The key to solving the Shen family''s problems was Zhao Nan! "But, I broke off the engagement with Zhao Nan, and also the Shen family''s idea of relying on the Zhao family, so..." Shen You said and paused. Shen You didn''t finish her sentence, but everyone knew the outcome of it. Shen Jiao had to marry Chen Shen! However, Shen You felt sorry for herself about this matter. After all, if Shen Jiao did not jump in it herself, the Shen family would never allow her to get engaged to Chen Shen. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You, his expression changed. He felt as if he had been used! Moreover, he had been used twice by this girl in front of him! The more Zhao Nan thought about it, the angrier he became. His glare at Shen You became more vicious. "So you had planned this all along?" Shen You looked at Zhao Nan''s angry expression and frowned slightly. "Didn''t I do as you wished?" Zhao Nan was stunned by this question. That''s right! He had never wanted to get engaged to Shen You. Wasn''t this ending as he wished? However, Zhao Nan felt something strange. He ruffled his hair a little impatiently and then said to Shen You, "Rest well! I''m leaving first!" Zhao Nan turned to leave, while Huo Xiao stared at his back in a daze. Shen You walked up to Huo Xiao and asked, "The problem has been solved. Shouldn''t you go back, too?" Hearing Shen You''s order to leave, Huo Xiao''s expression turned ugly. Wu Qi and Ling Rui, who had been watching the show for a long time, walked over. "Huo Xiao, I think we should talk." Wu Qi insisted on her purpose of coming. Huo Xiao frowned deeply and seemed to be a little impatient. Seeing this, Ling Rui said, "The two of you should have a good talk. After all, Wu Qi is your fianc¨¦e." Hearing this, Shen You and the others looked at Huo Xiao in surprise. Hearing Ling Rui''s words, Huo Xiao''s expression darkened even more. "I didn''t agree." Wu Qi, looking hurt, was looking at Huo Xiao.. Tears were welling in her eyes. Chapter 99 - Let Shen You Disappear Huo Xiao ignored Wu Qi and grabbed Shen You''s arm as they walked out of the coffee shop. Shen You followed Huo Xiao in a daze until they reached the next intersection. She broke free from Huo Xiao''s hand, stepped back, and looked at Huo Xiao. "What are you doing?" Huo Xiao''s lips moved, but he did not say anything. Shen You turned around and was about to walk back. Huo Xiao stepped forward to stop her. "I think we need to have a good talk." Shen You looked at Huo Xiao strangely. "I think it''s not necessary!" Huo Xiao paused for a moment before saying, "Didn''t you say that you wanted to cling to me?" Shen You was stunned for a moment before she remembered her bold words back then. Indeed, she could not leave Huo Xiao. At least, not now... Otherwise, she would have been sent to the hospital like before, almost becoming a research specimen. "I did say that!" Shen You said confidently. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and felt that something was not right. There seemed to be some misunderstanding between the two of them. To Shen You, there was only one purpose to cling to Huo Xiao. It was to obtain more luck value. However, to Huo Xiao, this "clinging" had a different meaning. "But now that I know you have a fianc¨¦e, I have to get your fianc¨¦e''s consent!" Shen You felt that what she said was very reasonable. Huo Xiao frowned deeply and looked at Shen You. "I have said it, she''s not my fianc¨¦e! I didn''t agree!" Shen You stepped forward and patted Huo Xiao''s shoulder. "I know. Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable!" As someone who had experienced it before, Shen You was very sincere in her words. "But you have to think about it. Wu Qi is so beautiful and has a good personality. You won''t be at a disadvantage!" Shen You raised her thumb to give a thumbs up for Wu Qi. However, to Huo Xiao, this was a little sarcastic. "Do you think I should get engaged to her?" Huo Xiao confirmed again. "Yes!" Shen You nodded her head heavily. She had no intention of changing her mind at all. Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen You. He looked as if smoke was about to come out of his head. Shen You did not know what had happened to him. She subconsciously wanted to escape. Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s arm. "Then why did you break off the engagement with Zhao Nan?" Huo Xiao opened his mouth and asked the question in his heart. Even though Huo Xiao didn''t know Shen You before she transferred to the elite class. But the whole school knew that Zhao Nan had a tail following him every day. A long and smelly tail. Zhao Nan hated it so much that he couldn''t wait to get rid of this tail. But this tail was stuck very firmly, and he couldn''t get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. However, ever since Shen You entered the elite class, Huo Xiao realized that that was not the case at all. Not only Shen You looked down on Zhao Nan, she even had hostile feelings towards him. Huo Xiao, who originally had no interest in the outside world, finally became interested in Shen You after Shen You ''accidentally'' approached him time and time again. In the end, this girl wanted to leave him? Shen You looked at Huo Xiao''s serious expression and thought for a moment before saying, "He doesn''t like me!" Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, "Then do you like him?" Shen You immediately said, "I don''t like him either!" This sentence made Huo Xiao even more confused. "If you don''t like him, then why were you so... so obsessed with him before?" Huo Xiao chose his words so that Shen You would not be too embarrassed. Shen You laughed out loud. She liked Huo Xiao''s "thoughtfulness". "I''m not obsessed with him either." Shen You lowered her head slightly and said something that she thought she would never say to anyone. "I just want to find someone who truly belongs to me! Someone who belongs to me alone!" Shen You said with a hint of sadness in her tone. Huo Xiao did not know why Shen You had such a thought, but he felt that the word "belong" sounded a little harsh. Shen You did not notice Huo Xiao''s reaction and continued, "Actually, it''s nothing much. It''s just that my life in the Shen family was not going well and I wanted to find someone to rely on." Huo Xiao opened his mouth but did not say what was on the tip of his tongue. He knew that now was not the time. Shen You lowered her head dejectedly and looked pitiful. "You have no idea how tired I was chasing after Zhao Nan every day!" Shen You could not help but complain. "It was as if that guy had an electric motor installed. He could not stop at all!" The more Shen You spoke, the angrier she got. "And the women around him came one after another. The moment I just dealt with one, the other rushed out! It was simply..." Shen You paused for a moment as if trying to think of a suitable word. "One after another! Yes! One after another!" Shen You said as she patted her hand heavily. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and the corners of his mouth slightly curved up. Chapter 100 - Whole New World Shen You stood at the corner of the street and complained about the hardships she had gone through while chasing Zhao Nan. Huo Xiao listened quietly and did not stop her. Meanwhile, Wu Qi and Ling Rui, who were standing on the other side of the street, kept their eyes on the two of them. They did not come forward or leave. "Are you so devoted to him?" Feeling sorry for Wu Qi, Ling Rui asked. Wu Qi''s eyes were fixed on Huo Xiao the whole time. "Yes! He will be mine!" Ling Rui looked at Wu Qi and could not help but shake his head. He looked at Shen You and said, "Perhaps, once Shen You disappears, everything will return to normal!" Wu Qi''s eyes moved slightly, but she did not reply. When they returned to the coffee shop that night, Shen You collapsed in the booth. Xie Xiao walked up to her, bringing fruits and a large glass of milk. "Are you tired? Do you need a massage?" Shen You took over the things from Xie Xiao''s hands and shook her head weakly. "I''m a patient! Why are they treating me in this manner?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and thought it was a little funny. "There were too many scenes today! I didn''t even know which scene to watch!" Shen You stretched out a hand to Xie Xiao."20 please, thank you!" "What?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s hand in puzzlement. "You don''t have to pay to watch the show?" Shen You said lazily. When Xie Xiao heard that, she smiled and slapped Shen You''s hand away. "Come on! It''s not like you''re the only one acting!" "Group performance doesn''t count?" Shen You muttered unhappily. Xie Xiao shook her head and sat beside Shen You. "To be honest, I''m quite surprised that you''re breaking off your engagement with Zhao Nan." "Although, I don''t agree with Auntie urging you to get engaged to Zhao Nan," Xie Xiao said honestly. "But you used to like Zhao Nan so much. Now..." there was a big question mark in Xie Xiao''s eyes. Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. "I don''t like Zhao Nan!" What was going on today? Everyone was reminiscing about her stupidness in the past? "You don''t like him and chase after his ass every day?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in disbelief. Shen You gently curled her knees in front of her chest. She hugged herself with both arms and rested her head on her knees. She looked at Xie Xiao. "Do you know how a person will react when she knows that a person belongs to her after being abandoned by the whole world?" Xie Xiao still looked at Shen You in confusion, waiting for her to continue. "At that time, it was as if I had lost the whole world. Zhao Nan was my future," Shen You was talking about her silly self back then. Thinking back, Shen You only felt that she was worrying like an idiot every day. Zhao Nan even avoided her like a lunatic. Xie Xiao reached out and gently hugged Shen You. Shen You continued, "I kept chasing after him. I just hoped that I wouldn''t lose him." "At that time, I was afraid that someone would come and snatch him away," Shen You said and suddenly laughed out loud, "Was I very stupid?" When Xie Xiao heard Shen You''s words, her heart ached slightly, "You will have the whole world!" The corners of Shen You''s mouth curled up as she said to Xie Xiao, "Yes! I don''t need to beg anyone anymore!" "I will have a whole new world!" Shen You said with unprecedented confidence on her face. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s determined expression and nodded as well. "You will have everything!" The two of them chatted for a very long time and only returned to their rooms late at night. Shen You lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling that was gradually becoming familiar. "System, do you think that I can''t just sit around and wait for death?" The system''s voice sounded faint. "You''ve finally come to your senses!" "I always thought that it was good enough to stay alive!" Shen You shared her thoughts. "However, Shen Jiao made me change my mind!" "If I don''t provoke them, they will still come and provoke me!" Shen You said as she slowly sat up from the bed. "Since I''ve been reborn, I can''t be hung up and beaten by others anymore!" Shen You''s eyes narrowed slightly. "Maybe..." Shen You suddenly smiled mischievously, "My ''foresight'' ability can still be of great use!" The system''s voice sounded a little heavy, "As long as it doesn''t violate the rules of the secular world, you can do whatever you want!" Shen You raised her eyebrows and the smile on her face deepened, "Then next, it''s time for me to perform!" Chapter 101 - Bringing My Sister Home Shen You returned to school and attend classes as normal, but Shen Jiao seemed to have disappeared. As Shen You was upset that she didn''t have the chance to attack Shen Jiao, after school, she saw Shen Jun at the school gate with a face full of hostility. Shen You glanced at Shen Jun and wanted to ignore him. When Shen Jun saw Shen You walking in another direction, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Shen You''s arm. Shen You struggled to shake off Shen Jun''s hand and continued walking forward. Shen Jun was furious. He ran a few steps forward and blocked in front of Shen You. "What''s wrong with you!" Shen You glared at Shen Jun. "I''m the one who should be asking you this! Why are you blocking me for no reason!" With his hands on his hips, Shen Jun glared at Shen You. "Why did you bully Ah Jiao?" Shen You felt that it was ridiculous. She shook her head helplessly and looked at Shen Jun. "What made you feel that I bullied Shen Jiao?" Shen Jun snorted, "You have always been the one who is so vicious!" Shen You was angered by Shen Jun and laughed. She did not know how to respond to him. "I advise you to go back and look after your Shen Jiao if you are not mentally ill!" Shen You snorted. "Otherwise you will only get to see your goddess marry someone else!" Shen You couldn''t help but mock. Shen Jun was cut to the quick. He glared at Shen You with red eyes and grabbed Shen You''s wrist, "Don''t talk bullsh*t!" "Come! Follow me home! Apologize to Ah Jiao!" Shen Jun grabbed Shen You''s hand and dragged her to the car parked by the side. Shen You struggled with all her might. She did not want to be "captured" home by Shen Jun this way! Although she had planned to start implementing her plan, it was not now! Shen Jun did not care what Shen You thought. He only wanted to capture Shen You home and let Shen Jiao vent her anger. Shen Jiao had been crying at home for the past few days. When she was asked why she was crying, she only looked at Shen Jun with an aggrieved face and refused to say anything. That day, Shen Jun heard Shen Jiao''s friend mention that the reason why Shen Jiao was engaged to Chen Shen was that Shen You refused to break off the engagement with Zhao Nan! Shen Jun had originally planned to force Shen You to break off the engagement. In the end, Zhao Nan had refused to get engaged to Ah Jiao even after breaking off the engagement with Shen You! Although Shen Jun also did not want Shen Jiao to get engaged to Zhao Nan, he could not bear to see Shen Jiao feel sad! Shen Jun was indeed a very competent spare tire! If this happened in ancient times, he would be considered a chaste man! Unfortunately, Shen Jiao only used him from the beginning to the end! While she was lamenting Shen Jun''s fate, Shen You felt the same way for herself. She was once just one of the many sacrifices in Shen Jiao''s life. Just as Shen You was immersed in her memories, Shen Jun had already dragged her to the car. The moment Shen Jun opened the car door, the car door was slammed shut by an external force. Shen Jun was extremely furious, he turned around and was about to scold. When he saw who the person was, he could not help but be a little surprised. "Huo, Huo Xiao?" Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s hand and forcefully pulled her to his side. Shen Jun was still in a daze and did not react at all. Huo Xiao brought Shen You behind him and stared at Shen Jun''s face, "What are you doing?" Shen Jun looked at Huo Xiao and seemed a little afraid. He looked a little nervous. Shen You did not know why Shen Jun was afraid of Huo Xiao, but from the way he looked, he was indeed starting to sweat. Shen Jun stuttered, "I... I''m bringing... I''m bringing my sister home!" "Sister?" Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Shen You. Shen You shook her head desperately and hid behind Huo Xiao. Shen Jun''s voice was a little dry as he said, "Yes! I''m here to bring my sister home!" "But your this ''sister'' doesn''t seem to want to go back with you!" Huo Xiao said without any hesitation. Shen Jun frowned and glanced at Shen You. "Well, Xiao You, Mom asked me to bring you home!" If it was not for the fact that she needed to put on a nervous expression, Shen You wanted to laugh out loud in response to Shen Jun. This scene was too funny! Shen You didn''t know how Shen Jun''s brain developed these years! Shen You poked her head out from behind Huo Xiao, "I''ll go back myself if I want to!" "It''s not like I don''t know where my home is. I don''t need you to pick me up!" Shen You rejected Shen Jun without hesitation. Shen Jun gritted his teeth and held the thought of rushing out to forcefully drag Shen You home. He then nodded, "Okay! Remember to go home! Mom is missing you!" After Shen Jun said that, he opened the car door, got into the car, and left. Chapter 102 - Shen Yous Business Tips After Shen Jun left, Shen You walked out from behind of Huo Xiao. After making sure that Shen Jun''s car had gone far away, Shen You slapped Huo Xiao''s back and said, "Thank you!" Huo Xiao shrugged and did not say anything. The two of them walked side by side from the school towards the coffee shop and did not speak for a long time. Finally, Shen You could not help but ask the question in her heart, "That Shen Jun seems to be very afraid of you?" Huo Xiao thought for a moment and then nodded, "Looks like it!" "Why? I thought that idiot was not afraid of anything!" Shen You became even more curious. Although Huo Xiao looked unfriendly, it was not to the extent of making people feel afraid. However, Shen Jun looked like he had seen a ghost, which made Shen You feel a little puzzled. Huo Xiao did not seem to want to tell Shen you the answer. He only said, "It''s all in the past." Listening to Huo Xiao''s understatement, Shen You deeply felt that this matter was even scarier than she had imagined! However, since Huo Xiao did not want to tell her, Shen You did not ask further. The two of them walked quietly until they reached the entrance of the coffee shop. Huo Xiao naturally followed Shen You in. Ling Rui and Wu Qi followed behind the two of them quietly. However, they stopped at the corner of the street opposite the coffee shop. "Aren''t you going in?" Ling Rui looked at the backs of Huo Xiao and Wu Qi and asked. Wu Qi stared at the two people who had already walked into the coffee shop and did not answer. Ling Rui was not in a hurry either. He was already used to such silence. The two of them stood at the corner of the street. After a long while, Wu Qi turned around and left. Ling Rui looked at Huo Xiao who was sitting by the glass window. The book in his hand had become crumpled. Shen You was busy making her snacks. Since she had been in the hospital for some time, it had caused Xie Chen a lot of trouble. Xie Chen looked at Shen You who was busy in the kitchen with some worry. She asked Xie Xiao, who was also watching from the side, "Is it alright for Shen You to be so busy?" Xie Xiao waved her hand and said, "Don''t worry! She''s fine! Letting her lie on the bed as a corpse will probably make her feel even worse!" When Shen You heard what Xie Xiao said, she turned around and chuckled, "Xia Xiao knows me better than anyone else!" Xie Xiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Sis, hurry up and go outside! There are quite many people here today!" Xie Chen nodded and reminded Xia Xiao, "Keep an eye on her. Don''t let her get tired!" "Don''t worry!" Xie Xiao said as she pushed Xie Chen out step by step. Xie Chen went to the front desk and saw that there were indeed many more customers in the coffee shop today than usual. Previously, someone had advertised the coffee shop''s private cupcakes online. In the end, it attracted a group of customers. After eating Shen You''s cupcakes, many people had become fans. Ever since Shen You was hospitalized, many customers had come to ask when Shen You would be able to return. They had even taken a number and were waiting for Shen You''s return. Shen You did not expect her cupcakes business to be so prosperous. While Shen You was busy, she even felt an unprecedented sense of happiness. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s busy appearance and then turned back to look at Huo Xiao who was sitting on the sofa. Xie Xiao came forward and asked, "Is Huo Xiao waiting for you?" "Huo Xiao? I don''t think so!" Shen You shook her head, picked up the tray, and used her arm to push Xie Xiao away. "Get out of the way!" "But he''s been sitting there alone since he came. I think he''s waiting for you!" Xia Xiao still maintained her view. Shen You smiled and said, "He came with me. If he had something to say to me, he would have already said it just now!" Thinking that what Shen You had said was reasonable, Xia Xiao did not ask further. After Shen You''s small cake came out of the oven, the two girls walked out of the kitchen chuckling with a tray in their hands. Zhu Ge pushed the door open and walked in at this moment. When he saw the small cakes in Shen You''s hands, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey, it''s better to come at the right time than to come early!" Zhu Ge stepped forward and wanted to intercept the cakes. Shen You bypassed Zhu Ge''s demonic claws and walked in front of Xie Chen. "Sister Chen, everything is ready!" Zhu Ge followed behind Shen You with a wronged expression. "Idol, you can''t treat me this way!" Shen You glanced at Zhu Ge, "Go and help out!" Although Zhu Ge was reluctant, he accepted his fate and picked up the tray to deliver the orders to the customers. Finally, all the customers'' food was served, Zhu Ge sat in front of the bar counter and cried, "Sister Chen, they are exploiting the labor!" Hearing Zhu Ge''s words, Shen You walked over, put one hand on Zhu Ge''s shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don''t take the bar counter''s seat!" Hearing this, Zhu Ge''s face was full of grievance. Shen You pointed her lips in the direction of Huo Xiao''s seat and said, "Go! Your little cake is over there!" Zhu Ge turned his head and saw a little cake placed on the seat opposite Huo Xiao. Chapter 103 - Beauty Treatments Shen You and Xie Chen looked at each other and smiled as Zhu Ge happily rushed over and picked up the small cake to eat in front of Hua Xiao. Xie Xiao also walked back to the bar counter. When she saw Zhu Ge, she could not help but complain, "Why is that idiot here?" Shen You smiled and held Xia Xiao''s hand. "Zhu Ge has helped a lot during my stay in the hospital. I invited him to come over for the cake!" Xie Xiao was still a little dissatisfied, but she could only mumble a few words and did not say anything. Shen You was finally done with her work and was about to go back to rest. Huo Xiao called out in the direction where Shen You was heading, "Shen You!" Shen You turned around and looked at Huo Xiao in a daze, "What''s the matter?" Huo Xiao frowned. He did not expect Shen You to ask such a question. Xie Xiao could not help but roll her eyes. She looked at Shen You with the expression that she had told her a long time ago. Shen You walked to Huo Xiao''s side and asked, "What''s wrong?" Zhu Ge looked at Huo Xiao curiously and then looked at Shen You. Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment before asking, "When will you go back to the Shen family?" Shen You did not understand why Huo Xiao asked such a question. She only said, "Tomorrow! I have planned to go back!" Shen You had already made some preparations. She planned to surprise the Shen family tomorrow. Huo Xiao seemed to have something else to say, but Zhu Ge had been sitting there the whole time. He hesitated again. Shen You saw Huo Xiao''s hesitation and said, "Don''t worry! I can handle it! Shen Jun can''t do anything to me!" Huo Xiao sighed slightly after thinking for a while. "Okay! When you go back, take good care of yourself!" Shen You nodded. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll go back first." Huo Xiao looked at Zhu Ge again. Zhu Ge still looked curious. Huo Xiao frowned. After a while, he said, "Okay! You just got out of the hospital. Rest well!" Shen You nodded and left. "Hey! 250 watts!" Xie Xiao came to Zhu Ge''s side and slapped him on the shoulder. Zhu Ge was taken aback and turned to look at Xie Xiao. "What 250 watts?" "I''m talking about you! You''re as bright as 250 watts!" Xie Xiao said in disdain. Huo Xiao looked at Xie Xiao''s expression and could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He got up, greeted Xie Xiao and Xie Chen, and left. Zhu Ge looked at the back of Huo Xiao as he left. His gaze darkened slightly before he turned to face Xie Xiao with a smile on his face. "Are you saying that I''m gorgeous?" Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge as if he was an idiot. "I don''t know how you lived till this age!" Zhu Ge chuckled. "You want to know the secret to growing taller?" "I''m sorry! You might not have a chance!" Zhu Ge said as he drew a picture on top of Xia Xiao''s head. Xie Xiao, who was cut to the pick, immediately slapped Zhu Ge''s back angrily. "You''ve finished the cake, you can leave now!" With that, Xie Xiao left in a huff. Xie Chen couldn''t help but smile helplessly when she saw the two of them quarreling. Shen You returned to her room. She sorted out her memories and relationship with Shen Jiao in her mind. "System, show me the relationship map!" Shen You instructed the system. The system immediately showed the relationship map to Shen You. "What good idea have you come up with?" Shen You carefully studied the map "Since Shen Jiao wants to play, I''ll play with her!" "She has the female lead card!" The system couldn''t help but remind her. "So what! At most, she''s just a fake!" Shen You didn''t seem to have the inferiority complex she had in the past, but more of pride that seeped out from her bones. The system couldn''t help but praise, "You seem to have gained some guts after staying in the hospital this time!" Shen You chuckled, "It''s just that I''ve seen and understood a lot of things more clearly now!" The system asked curiously, "What do you plan to do?" "A secret!" Shen You chuckled, not intending to reveal it in advance. "I won''t tell anyone!" The system snorted unhappily. "By the way, do I have any skills that I can exchange for?" Shen You asked curiously. Recently, she had been very close to Huo Xiao, so she could be considered to have a stable source of luck value input. However, she did not know if it was because of Huo Xiao''s psychological changes or other reasons, the amount of luck value input was not stable. "Your current reserves are only enough to exchange for ''beauty treatments''." The system''s voice sounded a little disdainful. "What''s the ''beauty treatments'' for?" Shen You couldn''t help but be a little curious. "It can allow you to repair a flaw in your appearance in a short time," the system answered perfunctorily. Shen You thought about it and said, "Alright! I''ll take it!" Chapter 104 - Returned Home Unexpectedly "Exchange for ''beauty treatments'' completed!" The system''s voice sounded in Shen You''s mind. Shen You only felt a wave of warmth all over her body. When the warmth on her body gradually faded, Shen You walked to the mirror and carefully checked her changes. "This... doesn''t seem to have changed much?" Shen You looked at herself in the mirror and didn''t see any difference. The system said indifferently, "Are you trying to say that you were as beautiful as a flower before?" Shen You snorted and said, "You don''t understand women!" The system also retorted unhappily, "I''m not a woman in the first place!" "Let me tell you! Women will never think of themselves as beautiful! No matter how beautiful they are, it''s never too much!" Shen You explained what a woman was to the system. "No wonder women who have plastic surgery are addicted!" The system could not help but complain. Shen You was stunned for a moment, then she smiled bitterly, "It''s not wrong to say so!" "However, I really can''t see any changes in myself!" Shen You looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. "I feel that this luck value spent is not worth it!" Shen You suddenly felt a little heartache. "This is like paying the IQ tax!" Shen You muttered to herself. The system let out a "hehe" laugh, "It''s your own choice! Since the goods are sold, there will be no refund!" Shen You rubbed her nose, "I know! You are the model of buying and selling by force!" The system''s voice sounded a little smug, "You can choose not to trade!" Shen You gave up looking at her face in the mirror and decided to return to her bed. Lying on the bed, Shen You looked at the ceiling and said to the system, "You once said that Shen Jiao''s luck was off the charts!" "Then if I attack her, will there be a backlash?" Shen You couldn''t help but worry. The system immediately replied, "No! Luck value can be obtained or taken away! As long as you have enough ability!" "Ability?" Shen You was curious, "What kind of ability?" "Do you remember how you obtained the luck value from Shen Jiao?" The system asked. "Make her angry, anxious, feel like killing me?" Shen You immediately replied. "Do you want to die so badly?" The system couldn''t help but ridicule. Shen You didn''t know how to answer. "However, you are right! As long as her mood swings are big enough, you can obtain the luck value on her body!" The system''s voice sounded a little bewitching. "En," Shen You replied and began to calculate. After school the next day, Shen You returned to the Shen family according to the plan. Li Ru did not expect Shen You to come home, and she was a little surprised to see Shen You. Although Shen You still felt a little sad when she saw Li Ru''s stunned expression, she was not as disappointed as before. She smiled and greeted Li Ru, "Mom!" Li Ru quickly put on a smile and came over, "Xiao You, you''re here!" Hearing Li Ru''s polite greeting, the smile on Shen You''s face did not change. She allowed Li Ru to grab her hand. "Quick! What do you want to eat? Mom will tell them to prepare!" Li Ru said and gently patted Shen You''s hand. Shen You nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom! Anything will do." Although Li Ru wanted to ask Shen You why she was back, in the end, she held it back. "Well, why don''t you go back to your room and rest for a while?" Li Ru did not know what to say to Shen You, so she suggested. "You haven''t been back for a long time! Mom even redecorated your room two days ago!" Li Ru said with a deeper smile. Hearing Li Ru''s words, Shen You felt funny. Wasn''t it because Shen Jiao was getting engaged, so they specially decorated the entire house? They even wanted to empty her room for Shen Jiao! Shen You didn''t call Li Ru out. She only nodded at Li Ru and said, "Okay! I''ll go back to my room first!" Shen You went back to her room. When she saw the newly decorated room, she couldn''t help but smile even more sadly. When they took her home, the Shen family didn''t renovate the room like what they did now. It seemed that Shen Jiao''s status in the Shen family was incomparable! Shen You suddenly felt that she was ridiculous and pathetic. Why did she think that she could be accepted by the Shen family? Why did she think that the Shen family would abandon their good daughter, Shen Jiao, for her? Shen You looked at the only two photos on the table. One was a family photo taken on the day she returned. In the photo, she was smiling like a fool! Chapter 105 - Apologize To Shen Jiao Shen You reached out her hand and picked up another photo on the table. It was a photo that Shen Rong had taken with her the day she left home. Shen Rong had handed the photo to her. However, she had no interest in the photo. Thus she told him to leave the photo at home and lied to him that she would always miss it. Looking at the light layer of dust on the photo, the smile on Shen You''s face was a little desolate. It turned out that actually nothing had changed! Shen You sat on the chair and left the paper that she brought with her on the table. This was a gift that she had left for Shen Jiao. She believed that Shen Jiao would be able to see it! As soon as Shen Rong entered the house, he heard that Shen Jiao had returned. He rushed upstairs, "Sister You!" Shen You walked out of the room and closed the door. "I''m here!" Then moment Shen Rong saw Shen You, a smile appeared on his face. "You''re finally back!" Shen You nodded and pulled Shen Rong towards the hall. "Yesterday, Second Brother went to look for me and said that he wanted me to come back." "So, I''m back now!" Shen You smiled at Shen Rong. "Second Brother went to look for you?" Shen Rong frowned. "Why?" Everyone in the Shen family knew that Shen Jun and Shen You were incompatible with each other. For Shen Jun to go and look for Shen You, this matter would not be simple! Shen You smiled and said, "It''s nothing! He just said that Mom missed me and asked me to come back for dinner!" Shen You did not tell Shen Rong the truth. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Shen Rong. However, Shen Rong had a look of disbelief. "Second Brother would do such a thing?" Shen You smiled and pulled Shen Rong forward. "Probably his personality has changed!" When Shen Rong heard Shen You''s words, he could not help but laugh. "It''s probably going to be a drastic change!" Shen Rong and Shen You came to the hall and saw Shen Po who had just returned. When Shen Po saw Shen You, he was also a little surprised. "You..." Being polite, Shen Po did not ask the question in his heart. However, Shen You was very clear that Shen Po wanted to ask something. "I''m back for dinner! Eldest Brother, do you welcome me?" Chuckling, Shen You asked Shen Po. Shen Po subconsciously nodded. "What do you want to eat? I''ll tell the chef to prepare for you!" Shen You smiled and thanked him. Shen Po went back to his room to change his clothes. Shen You sat on the sofa in the hall. Shen Rong was flipping through a new magazine. "Why didn''t I see Shen Jiao?" Shen you asked curiously. Shen Rong was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Sister Jiao has been in a bad mood recently. She doesn''t come out much!" Shen You raised her eyebrows. "She doesn''t even come out to walk around at home?" "En," Shen Rong replied. "She has been weak recently. She has been ill in bed." Shen You nodded as if she finally understood. She held back the thought of visiting her and smiled, "She looks so energetic, but her body is actually so weak." "Sigh, since she..." Shen Rong said and hesitated for a moment. He looked around and came to Shen You''s side, saying in a low voice, "Since she got engaged to Uncle Chen, her health has not been very good." "After that, when the two of them broke off the engagement, she became even sicker!" Shen Rong sighed helplessly. Shen You recalled the active and energetic Shen Jiao who was cursing at her in the coffee shop, it didn''t look like she was weak at all. Shen You pursed her lips into a smile, and she couldn''t help but sigh in her heart. "I need to learn this move. I need to!" Shen Jun returned home and saw Shen You sitting on the sofa in the hall casually. The moment he saw Shen You, Shen Jun was like a firecracker being lit up. "Why are you here!" Shen Jun shouted angrily. Shen You looked at Shen Jun as if she was looking at a lunatic. "Weren''t you the one who cried and begged me to come back?" "When did I ?" Shen Jun was even more furious. "You have forgotten! Yesterday! Huo Xiao!" Shen You reminded him "kindly". At the mention of Huo Xiao, Shen Jun''s expression instantly changed. He snorted and said, "Go! Follow me to apologize to Ah Jiao!" Shen You looked at Shen Jun from the corner of her eyes. "If you''re not afraid that I''ll anger your Ah Jiao to death, then I''ll go!" Shen Jun''s expression was even more furious. "How can you behave this way!" "Second Brother!" Shen Rong immediately interrupted. "What did Sister You do that she has to apologize to Sister Jiao?" "If it wasn''t for her, would Ah Jiao become like this?" Shen Jun growled. "It''s all because of her!" Shen Jun''s expression even looked a little ferocious. "You guys are unreasonable!" Shen Rong growled back in dissatisfaction. "You guys wanted Sister You to break off the engagement and she had done it.. What else do you want her to do!" Shen Rong stood in front of Shen You and confronted Shen Jun. Chapter 106 - Talk To Shen Jiao Shen You was still very happy about Shen Rong''s protection. After all, in the Shen family, there were not many people who could truly stand up for her. Shen Jun saw that Shen Rong spoke up for Shen You, and he was even angrier. "Shen Rong! What do you mean!" "What do I mean?" Shen Rong''s face revealed a displeased expression. "It has nothing to do with Sister You, why are you not letting her go?" "Why does it have nothing to do with her?" Shen Jun growled. "Have you forgotten how she stood by and watched when the Shen family was in trouble?" Shen Jun pointed a finger at Shen You. "If it wasn''t because the Zhao family refused to make a move, would Ah Jiao be engaged?" Shen Jun roared angrily. "If Ah Jiao wasn''t engaged, would she now..." As Shen Jun spoke, he was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Shen You could see Shen Jun''s emotions, but she also didn''t intend to give him more opportunities to criticize her. "When you guys asked me to help the Shen family, I did!" Shen you didn''t want to explain too much, but she was also unwilling to be criticized by others. "Zhao Nan didn''t cooperate with your plan, and you want to blame it on me?" Shen You frowned at Shen Jun and didn''t back down at all. She puffed out her chest to make herself look more determined. "Shen Jiao is willing to ''sacrifice'' for the Shen family, what does that have to do with me?" "If Zhao Nan isn''t willing to get engaged to her, don''t tell me you want me to kneel and beg Zhao Nan to do so!" Shen You said and snorted. "As for the apology to Shen Jiao that you have wanted," Shen You said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, the corners of her mouth curling up into a smile, "I don''t know what kind of mentality you have!" "If you think that this is to love... protect someone, then I don''t think that''s necessary!" Shen You''s series of words shocked Shen Jun into a daze. Shen Jun had never thought that Shen You, who had been silent all this time, would be able to talk non-stop! Most importantly, Shen You''s gaze was very strange. It was as if she knew what was in his mind! Shen Jun could not help but quiver. He subconsciously avoided Shen You''s gaze. Shen You snorted and raised her chin at Shen Jun. Shen Rong looked back and forth at the two of them in confusion. When Li Ru walked out of the study, she happened to see the three of them standing in a group. "What are you guys doing?" Li Ru looked at the three of them and felt that they seemed to be arguing about something. Shen Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao You said that she wants to visit Ah Jiao." Shen Jun was going to force Shen You. "Is that so?" Li Ru also turned to look at Shen You. "It just so happens that I''m going to visit Jiao too. Do you want to come along?" Shen Jun did not expect Li Ru to come along, so he was a little stunned. He originally wanted to bring Shen You alone so that Shen Jiao could vent her anger. If Li Ru went with them, he might not be able to get what he wanted! "Mom, didn''t you say that you wanted to personally stew some tonic for Ah Jiao?" Shen Jun immediately reminded. Li Ru smiled and said, "It''s already done. I''m just about to send it over to Ah Jiao." Shen Jun gritted his teeth and was thinking about something. Shen You saw Shen Jun''s distress and laughed wildly in her heart. However, Shen You did not intend to let Li Ru hear her conversation with Shen Jiao, so she said to Li Ru, "Mom, I''ll go by myself. I have something to say to Shen Jiao alone." When Li Ru heard Shen You''s words, although she was a little puzzled, she did not object. "Okay! Then come to the dining room for dinner later." Shen You nodded and went upstairs under the watchful eyes of Li Ru and the others. Since Li Ru was here, Shen Jun could not follow her upstairs. He could only stare at Shen You''s back. Shen You went upstairs and turned to the innermost room on the right. Shen You politely knocked on the door and waited for a response from inside. After a long while, there was no sound in the room. Shen You frowned slightly and slowly pushed the door open. Sure enough, Shen Jiao was not in the room. "This is funny!" Shen You could not help but mutter to herself. However, in the next moment, she thought of Shen Jiao''s whereabouts. Shen You turned around and walked to the first room on the other side of the corridor. That was Shen Po''s room. Shen You stood by the door and saw that the door was slightly opened. Shen You slightly pushed open the door and indeed saw Shen Jiao standing in the room. Shen Po had just come out of the shower and was wearing a bathrobe that was loose on his body. The moment Shen Jiao came in, Shen Po was shocked, but he regained his composure in the next moment. "Why are you here?" Shen Po turned around and sat down on the sofa by the window. Shen Jiao stood where she was without saying a word. Chapter 107 - Why Was It So? Shen You looked at the two of them quietly and did not intend to disturb them. After a long while, Shen Jiao finally spoke, "Do you really think that Shen You is better than me?" Shen Po did not intend to answer Shen Jiao''s question. He just looked at her. Shen Jiao felt extremely wronged. She looked at Shen Po with eyes full of resentment, "Why are you treating me this way?" "Why can''t you treat me like before?" Shen Jiao said, her tone full of tears. "When did you become so cold-blooded?" Shen Jiao''s words became more and more grievous and sad. Shen You couldn''t help but touch her arm that was already covered in goosebumps. She wanted to rub away the numbness at the back of her neck. Shen Po seemed to have been used to Shen Jiao''s attitude and didn''t show any strange expressions. Shen You could not help but praise her Eldest Brother''s strong mental endurance. Shen Jiao looked at Shen Po with a face full of grievance. Seeing that he did not respond, she directly cried out. Shen Po finally reacted this time. "You have already gained a lot." A trace of viciousness flashed in Shen Jiao''s eyes. She bit her lower lip slightly and said, "These 10 plus years are not better than a little bit of blood relationship?" "Remember, blood relationships can not be separated!" Shen Po emphasized again, "Fake is ultimately fake!" "You! How can you be so heartless!" Shen Jiao growled. Shen You always felt that Shen Po''s words had a hidden meaning, but she could not be sure what Shen Po knew. Shen Jiao''s attitude was even more suspicious. She did not question Shen Po''s words but emphasized her emotional catharsis. "Have you ever thought about what kind of life Xiao You lived during the 10 plus years you lived in luxury?" Shen Po stared at Shen Jiao. "Have you ever thought about what kind of injustice Xiao You suffered when the whole family was trying to take care of your emotions?" He said with a hint of indignation in his tone. Hearing Shen Po''s words, Shen You suddenly felt warmth in her heart, and tears almost flowed out. For the first time, she felt the warmth and kindness from her family. Even though Shen Rong had defended the injustice against her, and stood up for her... But it was only at this moment that Shen You felt that someone finally understood her situation and put himself in her shoes! Shen Jiao stared at Shen Po with resentment in her eyes, as if Shen Po had ruined her happiness. Shen Jiao didn''t reply for a long time. Shen Po sighed, stood up, and walked to Shen Jiao. "Everything wrong should return to its original position." "You don''t have to pursue things that don''t belong to you," Shen Po said earnestly. "Only by letting go of things that don''t belong to you will you be truly happy!" Shen Po reached out his hand, wanting to touch Shen Jiao''s shoulder. Shen Jiao suddenly took two steps back. She looked at Shen Po as if she was looking at a stranger. "I didn''t expect you to say such things! I also didn''t expect you to treat me in this manner!" As Shen Jiao said this, her tone was filled with disbelief. "Let go! Don''t make yourself so tired!" Shen Po advised earnestly. Shen Jiao shook her head desperately. "Impossible! All of these are mine!" Hearing Shen Jiao''s somewhat hysterical roar, Shen Po''s heart ached, feeling sad. He knew making Shen Jiao admit that her life for the past 10 plus years was an illusion was something that no one would be able to accept. The Shen family did not intend to let Shen Jiao lose her original life. After they brought Shen You back, the Shen family had paid more attention to Shen Jiao''s psychological changes. They were afraid that Shen Jiao would feel wronged and sad because of her background. After all, she was the child that they had raised for more than 10 years. Li Ru loved Shen Jiao from the bottom of her heart. Seeing the change in Shen Po''s attitude towards her, Shen Jiao immediately decided that this person was no longer someone she could rely on. She turned around angrily and walked out. Before Shen You could react, she was dragged into the room when Shen Jiao pulled the door open. The three of them looked at each other, feeling awkward. Shen Jiao glared at Shen You, who had just stabilized her posture. "Why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?" Shen You looked at Shen Jiao, "If you don''t want others to know, don''t do it yourself!" Shen Jiao''s brows were tightly knitted, and her gaze towards Shen You revealed a cold light. "What do you mean?" Shen You''s lips curled into a smile. "I think that you would not want Eldest Brother to hear what I want to say to you!" Hearing this, Shen Jiao''s expression became even uglier. Shen Po looked at the strange expressions on the two of them and stood up to walk over. "What''s going on?" Shen You smiled at Shen Po. "It''s nothing.. I have something I want to say to Shen Jiao alone." Chapter 108 - I Know Everything Although she knew that Shen Po sincerely treated her as his family member, Shen You still felt that there were some things that she needed to do on her own. She reached out her hand, grabbed Shen Jiao''s arm, and walked out. Shen Jiao did not reject and followed Shen You out of the room. Shen You pulled Shen Jiao until they reached Shen Jiao''s room. "Please!" Shen You raised her hand and gestured for Shen Jiao to open the door. Shen Jiao glared at Shen You, pushed open the door, and walked in. Shen You followed her in and turned around to close the door. "What do you want to say?" Shen Jiao turned around and asked Shen You in a stern voice. Shen You had a smile on her face and looked confident and calm. Shen Jiao looked at her expression and felt a little nervous. Shen You strolled in Shen Jiao''s room, looking at the pink room that looked like a princess''s castle. Thinking of the simple decorations in her room, Shen You couldn''t help but feel ridiculous that she had once thought of replacing Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao looked at Shen You walking around her room with dissatisfaction. She said in a low voice, "If you have something to say, just say it!" Shen You stood still and looked at Shen Jiao, "We all know what your plan is." "I think you plan to use Chen Shen''s hand to get the shares of the company, right?" Shen You said, her eyes fixed on Shen Jiao''s face. Shen Jiao''s face was a little ugly, "Are you kidding me! How could I want the shares of the company!" "Besides, I have nothing to do with Chen Shen now!" Shen Jiao bit her lip and said nervously. Shen You still had a smile on her face. "Don''t worry. I don''t plan to interfere with the deal between you and Chen Shen." "As for the Shen family''s business and the Shen family''s property, I''m not interested," Shen You said and shrugged. "No matter what your plans are, I don''t intend to tell them," Shen You threw out her promise. "However, I also hope that you can stay away from my life!" Shen You stated her conditions. "I won''t interfere with you, and please don''t disturb me!" Shen You stared at Shen Jiao with bright eyes, "Otherwise, I can cause you getting nothing!" Shen Jiao listened to Shen You''s words and didn''t speak for a long time. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "What? Do you think I''ll believe your threats?" "I''m not threatening you!" Shen You corrected Shen Jiao''s words. "I''m just telling you if you interfere with my life again..." "You won''t get what you want!" Shen You said as her gaze swept over a photo on Shen Jiao''s desk. "For example, that one!" Shen You pointed at the photo. Shen Jiao was shocked and rushed over to press the photo frame onto the table. "I don''t know what you''re talking about!" Shen Jiao said nervously, her eyes constantly flickering. Shen You smiled. "Just pretend that you don''t know!" "That''s all I have to say today. Whether you listen or not is up to you!" Shen You said as she walked to the door, pushed it open, and walked out. The moment she walked out of the door, she turned slightly to Shen Jiao and said, "If you don''t want to be discovered, you''d better hide it well!" Shen You waved her hand and walked out of Shen Jiao''s room. Shen Jiao glared fiercely at Shen You''s back as she left, and her hands were holding the photo frame in her arms. Shen You walked to the stairs and saw Li Ru coming up with soup. "Are you done chatting?" Li Ru asked Shen You curiously. Shen You nodded and smiled at Li Ru. "Shen Jiao said she wants to rest for a while and doesn''t want to drink the soup yet." Li Ru frowned. "Is that so?" Shen You nodded. "Mom, let her sleep well for a while. Let''s eat first." Li Ru still looked at Shen Jiao''s room worriedly. "Don''t worry! She''s already asleep," Shen You promised again. Only then did Li Ru turn around and follow Shen You downstairs. Shen You obediently took the tray from Li Ru''s hands and walked to the dining room before putting it on the table. At this moment, Shen Rong also walked over and sat in his seat. Shen You pushed the soup in front of Shen Rong. "You''re lucky!" Shen Rong looked at the soup in front of him in surprise. "For me?" "Your Sister Jiao is resting. It''s not good to let the soup cool off. Just get her another bowl of hot soup later!" Shen You said and even thoughtfully put a spoon into the bowl. Shen Rong glanced at Li Ru. Li Ru nodded. "Drink it! Don''t let it cool off!" Shen Rong laughed and drank the soup from the bowl. Chapter 109 - Youve Changed! When Shen Jun walked into the dining room, he happened to see Shen Rong was drinking soup. He frowned and looked at Shen Rong, "What are you drinking?" Shen Rong''s mouth was still filled with the soup and could not say anything clearly. Shen Jun ignored him and turned to look at Shen You. "Why did you come down so quickly?" "Quickly? We had talked a lot!" Shen You said to Shen Jun with a smile. Shen Jun always felt that Shen You''s expression was strange, which made him feel a little nervous. How did that originally submissive Shen You change to this Shen You? Shen Jun secretly scolded her "useless" and then said to Li Ru, "I''ll call Ah Jiao down to eat." Li Ru said to Shen Jun, "Don''t go! Ah Jiao just fell asleep, let her sleep more!" "She has been in a bad mood recently. It''s been a long time she did not have a good rest!" Li Ru sighed and said. Shen Jun''s expression changed slightly, but he couldn''t reject Li Ru''s request. Shen Jun obediently sat on his seat. Soon, Shen Po also came to the dining room. He looked at Shen You strangely then sat down on his seat and prepared to eat. Shen You''s expression was, as usual, no reaction could be seen. The dishes were quickly served, and the family was eating slowly. On and off, Li Ru asked about Shen You''s recent situation. Shen You did not avoid it, and she answered whatever Li Ru asked. Shen Jun kept looking at Shen You with his eyes as if guessing what Shen You was up to. After the meal, Shen You said that she still had work to do in the coffee shop, and left. Li Ru was completely focused on Shen Jiao, so she didn''t ask Shen You to stay. She rushed to the kitchen and ordered to prepare another bowl of soup. Seeing Li Ru rush upstairs with the soup, the smile on Shen You''s face gradually faded. Shen Po reminded Shen You a few things and then went back to his room to work. Shen Jun naturally didn''t care about Shen You. He took the opportunity to follow Li Ru upstairs to see Shen Jiao. Shen Rong saw this and said, "Sister You, I''ll send you off!" Shen You wanted to decline, but after thinking about it, she still nodded. "Okay!" The two of them walked out of the door. Shen You originally thought that Shen Rong would go back after this. However, Shen Rong walked to his bicycle and said to Shen You, "Come up!" Shen You looked at Shen Rong with some surprise. "You''re sending me off by this?" Shen Rong nodded and said, "Yes! The weather now is perfect! I''ll send you back!" Shen You had wanted to decline, but seeing Shen Rong''s sincere look, she gritted her teeth and sat on the back seat of the bicycle. This was the first time in her life that she sat in the back seat of someone else''s bicycle. The breeze blew, and the youth rode the bicycle carrying the beautiful girl through the streets of the city. Shen You could feel such a beautiful scene from her younger brother. Fortunately, the Shen family was not far from the coffee shop. They could reach it after crossing a few roads. However, on the last road near the coffee shop, a police uncle stopped the two of them. Shen You and Shen Rong were pitifully lectured by the police uncle that they could not bring people with them when riding a bicycle. After repeatedly admitting their mistakes sincerely, the police uncle finally showed mercy and let the two of them go. Shen Rong was about to get on the bicycle and leave, but Shen You quickly stopped him. "Do you want to die? Still want to ride?" Shen Rong finally reacted and smiled awkwardly. He got off the bicycle and slowly walked to the coffee shop with Shen You. "Sister You, I feel that you have changed!" Shen Rong shared the feelings deep in his heart. "Oh? How have I changed?" Shen You did not look at Shen Rong, but only asked with a faint smile. "I feel that you have become more confident and easier to get close to now!" Shen Rong smiled foolishly. "Was I not easy to get close to in the past?" Shen You frowned in disagreement. "It''s not that. It''s just that in the past, you always seemed to wrap yourself in a hard shell." Shen Rong could not help but sigh. "I don''t know why you were behaving that way. But I have to say, the feeling that you gave me at that time was..." Shen Rong thought seriously, hoping to find a suitable word. "What feeling?" Shen You hurriedly asked. "Smelly and hard!" Shen Rong seemed to have finally found some suitable words. Shen You looked at Shen Rong in shock. She did not expect him to give her such comments. Shen You had once thought that she would give people the impression that she was weak and could be bullied! But when it came to Shen Rong''s mouth, why did it seem to be different? Could it be that this was the real her in the past? Chapter 110 - Call From Stranger After returning from the Shen family, Shen you returned to her room and fell into a period of self-reflection. She used to think that she was the type of person who was submissive and always listened to the opinions of others. When she heard Shen Rong describe her temper as "smelly and hard", Shen You subconsciously felt that it was probably inherited! It was just that she was unlucky and inherited it. If the children of the Shen family were to be compared, everyone''s temper could not be said to be good. Shen Jun''s temper was especially similar to her father, Shen Hao. "So this is also blood relationship..." Shen You could not help but shake her head and sigh. "Don''t sigh. It was so hard to get a bit of luck value, but it''s all gone!" The system''s voice sounded. "Do you think Shen Jiao will discover the thing I left behind?" Shen You asked with some worry. "You''ve already forced her. She will go to your room to look for that thing!" The system said firmly. Although Shen You was still a little worried, she could only follow the situation as it unfolded. "Anyway, I''ve already put it there. Whether she believes it or not is up to her!" Shen You couldn''t be bothered to think further. Shen You was prepared to tidy herself up and go to the coffee shop to help. At this moment, Shen You''s phone rang. Shen You was shocked. This was the first time someone had called since she had her phone! She looked at the phone number. It was an unfamiliar number! She picked up the call, but there was no sound for a long time. She looked at the phone in confusion, then said "Hello" repeatedly. However, there was still no response. She was about to hang up, but the other party hung up first. Shen You thought about it and decided to call the other party back. In the end, the number she dialed was never picked up. Shen You looked at the strange phone number, but she had no clue. Then, Shen You decided to stop thinking about it. After all, it was an unfamiliar phone number. Maybe the other party had dialed the wrong number! Shen You put away her phone and walked towards the coffee shop. Ever since Shen You was discharged from the hospital, the business of the coffee shop had become even better. It was said that many people were betting on who would get to eat the new creative cupcakes. Every week, Shen You would launch a new creative cupcake. The first person to eat the new cupcakes would always be envied by other customers. Shen You liked this method very much. More and more people appreciated and approved of her cupcakes. Xie Chen encouraged Shen You to create her blog so that she could share more of her cupcakes. Shen You hesitated for a moment and decided to give it a try. To Shen You, she was unfamiliar with the internet platform and it was a new experience. Since there was only one computer in the shop, Shen You had to wait until the shop was closed before she could use the computer. It was already dark in the coffee shop. Shen You sat alone in front of the computer and sent the photos she had taken to the platform. Under the different pictures of the small cakes, Shen You shared her production methods and experience. She hoped that more people would learn how to make these small cakes and like them. This was Shen You''s small selfishness. She hoped that she could leave some traces in this world. After Shen You uploaded the content of her sharing, she packed her things and prepared to go back to sleep. At this moment, Shen You''s phone rang again. Shen You picked up the phone and looked at it. It was the same number again. Shen You quickly picked up. "Hello? Who is this?" The other party still did not answer. Shen You looked at the phone in confusion, wondering if there was something wrong with the phone. Just as Shen You decided to hang up, the other party suddenly asked, "Is that Shen You?" When Shen You heard the other party''s words, she said excitedly, "Yes! May I know who is this?" The other party did not seem to have any intention of answering her, but only asked again, "How are you doing?" When Shen You heard the other party''s question, she was even more confused. "Do you know me? Who are you?" The other party did not respond for a long time. Just when Shen You thought the other party was not going to speak again, the other party''s voice sounded again. "You''re fine, that''s good." The other party''s tone seemed to be worried for herself. She did not know who the other party was, but she had a feeling that this person seemed to have been around her all along! Shen You asked again, "Who are you?" "Hello? Hello?" There was only a series of beeps in response to Shen You. Shen You brought the phone in front of her and looked at it.. The other party had already hung up. Chapter 111 - Luck Value That Avoided Accidents Shen You put away her phone and went back to her room. "System! Are you there?" Shen You sat quietly on the chair and asked. "Yes! What do you want to ask?" The system''s voice came slowly. "Do you know who the person called today was?" Shen You asked tentatively. "The secrets of heaven must not be revealed!" The system''s voice sounded so righteous. Shen You secretly sighed, "I knew you wouldn''t tell me!" "You''ll know when the time comes!" The system gave a warm reminder. "It''s very uncomfortable to have such suspense!" Shen You couldn''t stand it anymore and cried out in a low voice. "I can feel that this person cares about me!" Shen You muttered, "Moreover, she should be around me!" "Since the other party doesn''t want you to know who she is, why do you insist!" The system advised patiently. "I have a feeling that she has something to tell me!" Shen You said with certainty. "If she didn''t tell you, she must have a reason!" The system advised again, "Why don''t you wait patiently?" Shen You stood up and walked to the side of the bed. With a ''pfft'' sound she lay down on the bed, "I feel uncomfortable! I want to know!" Shen You was struggling on the bed. The system''s voice came again. "Don''t think so much. You still have more important things to do!" Shen You stopped struggling and turned her body to lie on the bed. "It looks like! Didn''t Shen Jiao see anything? Why isn''t her luck value here yet?" The system grunted in dissatisfaction. "I noticed that you''ve been a little lazy recently." "Why do you say that?" She asked in confusion. She didn''t know which part of her made her seem lazy. "You''ve always been doing things that you''re not sure of, isn''t that lazy?" The system sounded a little anxious. "The things that you''re doing, there''s no way to guarantee the supply of luck value." "Don''t you think that the distance between you and Huo Xiao has increased recently?" The system reminded her again. "Have I?" Shen You thought about it seriously. "I don''t think so!" "Recently, Huo Xiao came to the coffee shop to look for you. Why did you ignore him?" The system asked again. "I didn''t ignore him! He came to spend money, and I provided the product!" Shen You said with a face full of grievance. "Don''t you think that you guys..." the system sounded even more impatient. Shen You faintly felt that if the system had a hammer in its hand right now, it would hit her head! "There''s nothing wrong with us," Shen You said with a smile, "I can feel a very stable luck value!" The system could not help but sigh, "Sigh! Take care of yourself!" "If one day Huo Xiao leaves, I''ll see what you''ll do!" The system could not help but mutter. "Leave? Where to?" Hearing that Huo Xiao was going to leave, Shen You''s heart skipped a beat. "Everyone has their path in life. He can''t stop moving forward." The system''s words sounded a little profound. "You mean, he still wants to go abroad?" Shen You asked again. Thinking back to the time when Huo Xiao went abroad, Shen You felt a lingering fear in her heart. "Did my fainting last time have something to do with Huo Xiao''s departure?" Shen You asked the question in her heart. "I can''t say it''s completely related, nor is it completely unrelated." The system''s words sounded unfathomable. Before Shen You could ask any questions, the system had already explained itself. "You fainted because you didn''t have enough luck value, causing your body to have problems," the system said simply. "But one of the main reasons why you didn''t have enough luck value was because Huo Xiao left. You lost the source of your luck value, causing a huge loss!" The system sounded very serious. "Then if this happens again, with my current luck value, will I still faint?" Shen You wanted to figure out the relation. "No! It might be more serious!" The system said cautiously. "Why?" Shen You was a little surprised. "Although your reserves are enough for your current use," the system explained patiently, "It can''t satisfy your excessive consumption." "Excessive consumption?" Shen You was confused, "When did I have excessive consumption?" "Other than daily consumption, you also need to resist the consumption of accidental and physical diseases," the system continued. "For example, someone wants to harm you." "Someone wants to harm me?" Shen You cried out in surprise. "Without you knowing, your luck value has already helped you avoid many accidents." The system''s tone sounded a little mysterious. "When was that?" Shen You''s expression became serious. Chapter 112 - Injured Accidentally "Do you remember that you were always injured for no reason?"The system reminded Shen You. Shen You thought about it and nodded. Indeed, in her previous life, including before she was reborn, she would always have accidents from time to time. Either she was accidentally hit on the head, or she sprained or fell. In short, Shen You would be injured from time to time. After that, Shen You would often explain to herself that her luck was too bad. Although she had looked for the reason before, overall it was probably because she was not careful enough. "Don''t you feel that your injury is very strange?" The system could not help but sigh. "I''ve never seen such a careless person like you!" The system did not forget to criticize. "It''s not that I''m careless, it''s just that this is how things have always been. There''s nothing special about it..." Shen You said and suddenly stopped. "Not always, right?" The system''s voice pierced through Shen You''s mind. "It also happened when you were young, but very rarely. It was also after the Shen family found you, right?" Every word of the system fell into Shen You''s mind. At that moment, only she realized that she had not noticed that her long period of accidental injuries was related to the Shen family! "You mean, my injury is related to the Shen family?" Shen You gritted her teeth and asked coldly. "It''s not necessarily the Shen family''s doing, but it has something to do with the Shen family!" The system''s answer made Shen You''s heart fall into an ice cellar once again. She had once thought that the Shen family just did not like her and did not want her to stay in the Shen family. They just made her feel uncomfortable with their words, or they just treated her differently because of Shen Jiao''s matter. Who would have thought that someone from the Shen family would want to harm her? Shen You only felt a chill run down her spine. "Then, what do you think I should do?" Shen You asked the system faintly. "Luck value is the foundation of your survival," the system reminded her. "You need to obtain more and more stable luck value." "Also, a warm reminder, if you don''t find the culprit, no matter how much luck value you have, it will be quickly offset!" The system''s tone sounded like a warning. Shen You nodded, "I understand!" Shen You suddenly felt a little tired. In this life, her only goal was to live. Even so, it seemed like there were many difficulties for her! Shen You lay on the bed, picked up her phone, and looked at the time. It was almost midnight. Shen You did not know why, and with a flick of her finger, she dialed Huo Xiao''s number. The phone rang twice, and Shen You suddenly came to her senses and quickly hung up. Shen You secretly patted her head. "What are you thinking about? It''s the middle of the night!" Shen You did not expect that in less than 10 seconds, Huo Xiao would call back. Shen You looked at the name of the caller, and her hands even trembled. She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. "Hello!" "Shen You?" Huo Xiao''s voice sounded sleepy. "What''s the matter?" Shen You mumbled a few words. Suddenly, she felt wronged and tears flowed down her face. "Hello? Shen You, are you still there?" Huo Xiao''s voice sounded on the other end of the phone again. "Yes..." Shen You''s slightly nasal voice sounded through the receiver. "What happened to you?" Huo Xiao sounded a little confused. "Did you cry?" Shen You sniffed. "No, I just woke up." "What''s happened?" Huo Xiao asked again. "I had a nightmare," Shen You said simply. "Oh!" Huo Xiao suddenly stopped and said after a long while, "It''s okay, don''t be afraid!" When Shen You heard this, she burst out laughing. On the other hand, Huo Xiao became quiet. Shen You grinned and said into the microphone, "Huo Xiao, thank you!" "Um..." Huo Xiao sounded a little hesitant. Shen You did not care. Her gratitude came from the bottom of her heart. "Huo Xiao!" Shen You called his name again. "I''m here," Huo Xiao replied softly. Shen You also did not know why she called him. She just waited quietly. After a while, Shen You whispered again, "See you tomorrow." "Okay, see you tomorrow," Huo Xiao replied again. The two of them hung up the phone. Shen You put the phone on her chest, smiled, and slowly fell asleep. Huo Xiao looked at the phone that had been hung up and lay in bed, unable to sleep for a long time. The next morning, Shen You rushed out of the room full of energy, ready to start a new life. The next morning, Huo Xiao had two huge dark circles around his eyes and was ready to go to school. Chapter 113 - A Sad Story When she arrived at the school, Shen You looked at this familiar place, she suddenly felt a little unfamiliar. Most of her accidents happened here. In other words, someone here was working for the Shen family? Shen You only felt her whole body quiver, and her footsteps suddenly stopped. Xie Xiao was by Shen You''s side. After moving forward a few steps, she realized that Shen You was not following her. She turned around and looked at Shen You in confusion. "What''s the matter?" Shen You shook her head and caught up with Xie Xiao. "Nothing! Let''s go in!" Although Xie Xiao felt strange, she did not ask further. When the two of them entered the school, they bumped into Zhu Ge. "Idol! You''re here!" Zhu Ge greeted with a smile. Xie Xiao glanced at Zhu Ge and ignored him. Shen You greeted him and continued to walk. "Have you heard? Wu Qi and Huo Xiao are getting engaged!" Zhu Ge said mysteriously. Shen You heard and turned to look at Zhu Ge. "What did you say?" "Ah! You didn''t know?" Zhu Ge looked at Shen You in surprise. "The Shen family should have already received the invitation!" Zhu Ge quickly explained. "It should be an invitation jointly issued by the Wu and Huo families. The engagement banquet between the two families is a big event!" Zhu Ge couldn''t help but sigh. "Although the Wu family isn''t quite prestigious here, in the neighboring city, it''s still one of the top aristocratic families!" Zhu Ge extended a thumb to express the status of the Wu family. Shen You looked at Zhu Ge''s appearance and bit her lower lip slightly. She lowered her head and walked forward quickly. As she walked into the classroom, Shen You looked at the empty seat beside her and felt the emptiness in her heart. She walked to her seat and sat down. Shen You placed her bag on the table and started to daydream. Ling Rui walked over from the side and glanced at Shen You. There was a cold smile on his lips. "Why? You''ve heard the news?" Shen You slowly raised her head and looked at Ling Rui. "What did you say?" "You look so dejected! You must have heard the news that they were going to get engaged?" Ling Rui looked arrogant. Shen You felt that it was a little funny. She looked at Ling Rui pitifully. "Shouldn''t you be sad?" "What did you say?" Ling Rui''s expression became a little strange. "You should know what you are thinking in your heart!" Shen You''s eyes stared at Ling Rui''s face. Ling Rui''s expression turned ugly. "I don''t know what you want to say!" After saying that, Ling Rui turned to leave. Shen You suddenly said, "If you want it, you have to fight for it yourself! Don''t wait for others to give it to you!" Ling Rui turned to look at Shen You. "What do you mean!" Shen You''s lips curled. "It''s just a friendly reminder!" "Perhaps you thought that your wait will bear fruits in the end. But in fact, others don''t care at all! " Shen You said earnestly. Ling Rui seemed to have been cut to the quick. He glared fiercely at Shen You. "Don''t think that you know everything!" Shen You suddenly smiled wickedly. "If you put it that way, I do know something!" Ling Rui''s expression became even uglier. He fiercely punched on Shen You''s desk, turned around, and left. Shen You watched Ling Rui''s back as he left, and her face gradually darkened. The more she interacted with Ling Rui, the more Shen You remember about Ling Rui. In her previous life, this person rarely appeared in front of Shen You. However, Shen You remembered the name Ling Rui. She had never associated this name with that incident or that person. However, as she came into contact with him more, Shen you felt that Ling Rui must be the person back then! For the sake of love and a woman, Ling Rui had poisoned the girl''s parents to death. The girl was not severely poisoned and was admitted to the hospital. However, she had remained in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. At that time, the shocking news made Shen You feel that this kind of thing was very far away from her. However, as her contact with Ling Rui and Wu Qi became frequent, Shen You felt that they should be the main characters of the story. However, Shen You did not expect that the other main character in the story would be Huo Xiao! Shen You remembered the rumor she heard at that time. The girl fell in love with the boy she grew up with. The boy could not be with the girl because of his health. Ling Rui grew up together with both of them. He could not help but fall in love with the girl. He once thought that his protection would eventually be exchanged for the girl''s love. In the end, the girl still chose her childhood friend without hesitation. Ling Rui suffered a great blow and finally decided to die together with the girl. Chapter 114 - Nameless Park Ling Rui looked at Shen You and felt that Shen You''s gaze seemed to be able to see into his heart. He subconsciously avoided Shen You''s gaze. Shen You did not mind and only said softly, "There are some things that no one will know unless you tell them." "But don''t do things that hurt yourself, and don''t hurt others!" Shen You said sincerely. Although she and Ling Rui were not close, after all, the two of them had known each other for a while. Shen You didn''t want to see him and Wu Qi end up in such a tragic ending. Ling Rui only spat the word "crazy" before he turned around and left. Shen You shook her head and sighed. She hoped that he would listen to her advice! Zhu Ge looked at Shen You''s back and felt that Shen You seemed to know something. Zhu Ge''s gaze swept toward Zhao Nan who was not far away. Ever since Zhao Nan and Shen You broke off their engagement, the two of them seemed to be separated from each other by a world. They no longer interacted with each other. Zhu Ge knew that Zhao Nan had been busy looking for someone, the person who would affect his life. But... Zhu Ge walked toward Zhao Nan and sat on the desk in front of Zhao Nan. He lowered his body slightly and asked, "Are you sure this is good for you?" Zhao Nan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Ge. "Yes!" Zhu Ge shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything else. He got up, turned around, and walked towards his seat. He did not forget to wave his hand elegantly. Before Shen You was discharged from the hospital, Zhu Ge had once chatted with Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan''s thoughts had changed a lot since Shen You wanted to break off the engagement with him. Zhu Ge knew that Zhao Nan did care about Shen You. It was just that the two of them had come to this point, and there was still Huo Xiao between them. The onlookers were also anxious when they saw this. Now that Huo Xiao was about to get engaged, could it be that Zhao Nan''s opportunity had risen again? But looking at Zhao Nan now... Zhu Ge could not help but curse himself, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!" Xie Xiao happened to pass by Zhu Ge. When she heard this, she looked at him in surprise. "You''re a eunuch?" "That''s right!" Zhu Ge answered subconsciously. The conversation between the two of them was quite loud, and it immediately made the people around them burst into laughter. Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao with some annoyance. "Why are you everywhere?!" Xie Xiao looked at Zhu Ge with an innocent expression. "It''s not me who said it!" Zhu Ge snorted and sat in his seat, no longer paying attention to Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao walked to Shen You''s side and handed the small box she had brought with her to Shen You. "Hey! Sister said that you didn''t eat breakfast this morning, so she asked me to bring you this!" Shen You opened the box and saw a few exquisite snacks. "Sister Chen is so kind!" Xie Xiao stuck out her tongue. "Yeah! She''s even more thoughtful than taking care of her little sister!" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao with a smile. She picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth. "What? Are you jealous of me?" Xie Xiao''s mouth was stuffed with snack and couldn''t explain clearly. Shen You looked at Zhu Ge, who was full of resentment, and lowered her voice to ask Xie Xiao, "Why did you provoke him?" Xie Xiao swallowed the snack with great difficulty. "I didn''t! It was him..." Xie Xiao stole a glance at Zhu Ge and indeed saw him staring at her with resentment. Xie Xiao immediately turned her head away from him and said in a low voice, "I was just joking! Who knew that he couldn''t take a joke!" Shen You shook her head helplessly. "He acted this way because he took your words to heart!" "What?" Xie Xiao snorted and turned to leave awkwardly. Xie Xiao took two steps forward and thought of something. She turned around and took a piece of snack from Shen You''s box. "Penalty!" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s expression and shook her head with a bitter smile. Huo Xiao did not appear for the whole morning. Shen You could not tell if she was feeling lost or other emotions. She just felt weird. They had talked over the phone last night. Why did everything seem to have changed overnight? Just after lunch, Shen You went home on sick leave. She could not stand the stifling atmosphere and wanted to relax. Shen You did not return to the coffee shop directly. Instead, she took a turn and went to her favorite park. Ever since she was reborn, she had never been to that place. She did not know if she was afraid of remembering her past self, or if she was resisting some unknown emotion. But she had subconsciously wanted to stay away from that place. Shen You walked to the entrance of the park and saw the familiar sign at the entrance. It was an old wooden sign with the name of the park carved on it with a knife -- Nameless. The park was small and didn''t have many visitors. This was probably why Shen You liked this park in her previous life. Chapter 115 - Work Hard For Success Shen You felt very familiar with the potholes on the pebble path when she walked into the park. Compared to the pebble path in other parks, the pebble path here gave people a strong sense of presence. Shen You walked on the pebble path heading towards the center of the park step by step. There was a small central lake there. Calling it a lake might be a bit of an exaggeration. It was just a small puddle of water. In her previous life, Shen You once accidentally fell into the water here. At that time, she didn''t know how to swim at all and almost thought that she was going to drown. In the end, when she was struggling, she suddenly touched a big rock at the side. She desperately grabbed the rock and finally stood up. Only then did she realize that the water was only up to her thigh. That time, Shen You sighed at how lucky she was, and also at how strong her desire to live was. She once swore that she would never go to the water''s edge again until she learned how to swim! Shen You stood by the water''s edge and thought, "Last time, did I really lose my footing and fall into the water?" The system''s voice sounded in her mind, "You''ve finally begun to reflect on these things!" Shen You sat on a huge rock by the water''s edge and looked at the calm surface of the water in front of her. "I had never thought that someone would want to harm me." "I thought that everything would be better once I returned to the Shen family." Shen You smiled bitterly. "What do you plan to do?" The system asked Shen You about her thoughts. Shen You sighed and her gaze did not move. "My initial thought was to live well." "But now it seems that I need to work harder if I want to live!" Shen You''s voice sounded a little tired. "Don''t you have Huo Xiao..." the system couldn''t help but remind her. Shen You shook her head. "He will eventually belong to someone else!" "Why don''t you let him become yours?" The system asked again, not agreeing with Shen You. "There are some things that I can''t change just because I want to." Shen You sounded depressed. "This isn''t like you!" The system sounded a little dissatisfied. "No! This is the previous me!" Shen You muttered again. "I used to think that everything I wanted was something I shouldn''t have!" Shen You sighed. "Then..." the system seemed to hear the hidden meaning in Shen You''s words. Shen You suddenly stood up, her eyes shining, "But it''s different now! I want to live well, living out my life!" "I will fight for everything that should belong to me! I will not give up any chance!" Shen You''s expression looked determined and full of energy. "The reason why I came here today is that this place once bore too much of my resentment!" Shen You looked at the calm in front of her. "I want to throw all this away! I want to work hard for myself!" Shen You said calmly. "As expected of the person I chose!" The system finally sighed in satisfaction. Shen You chuckled and said, "But the scenery here is really good. It''s a pity that no one came!" The system''s voice sounded a little bewitching, "This place is secretive enough. It''s suitable for you to do some shady business!" Shen You could not stand it and rolled her eyes, "What shady business do I have!" "You can do it in the future!" The system chuckled. Shen You thought for a moment. "Maybe!" Walking away from the water''s edge, Shen You walked towards the entrance of the small park. The park was very small, with only one entrance and exit. As there were only a few people taking care of it, many weeds were growing on the lawn. Shen You walked past the lawn, looked around, and then continued to walk out. When she returned to the coffee shop, there were not many people in the shop. The university students who were working were organizing the books on the shelves. Xie Chen was sitting behind the bar counter and flipping through the books on coffee making. Shen You walked in and leaned against the bar counter. "Sister Chen, should we expand our business?" Xie Chen looked at Shen You in surprise. "Xiao You, why are you back?" Xie Chen subconsciously looked at her watch. Shen You indeed came back early. Shen You smiled awkwardly. "I''m feeling a little uncomfortable, so I came back first." "If you''re not feeling well, then go back and rest!" Xie Chen quickly said. "It''s alright! I''ve already recovered on the way back!" Shen You patted her chest and guaranteed. Xie Chen looked at Shen You suspiciously. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. Shen You lowered her head awkwardly and said, "I.. I have some thoughts that I want to discuss with sister Chen urgently." Xie Chen looked at Shen You and smiled. "Your this little brain, I really don''t know what you''re thinking about every day!" "I''m thinking about making money!" Shen You said seriously. Chapter 116 - Coffee Shop Expansion Plan Shen You told Xie Chen about her plan. To her surprise, Xie Chen also had a plan. "I''ve thought about this activity before, but the cost is a little over budget," Xie Chen said helplessly. Shen You waved her hand and said, "It doesn''t need much money. I think we can use the power of the internet!" "The internet?" Xie Chen was a little confused. Shen You understood Xie Chen''s confusion. After all, the internet was not as developed as it would be in 10 plus years! Shen You told Xie Chen about her general idea. The two of them decided to use the resources at hand to test the waters first. "I will start to update the content of our activities on the blog tomorrow," Shen You said about her plan. "We can provide a free snack for the customers who come through the blog," Shen You wrote down her thoughts on the paper. "Then, the customers can get more discounts by sharing the blog," Shen You thought and applied the "Like" mode on her moments Blog communication. In this era where WeChat and Weibo had not been born and promoted, the only tool that could be used to communicate effectively was the blog with personal attributes besides the public forum''s Tieba. Shen You calculated that she could no longer rely on the Shen family to survive anyway. Self-reliance was what she needed to do the most at the moment. In Shen You''s impression, the Shen family would soon suffer a heavy blow, which was even more serious than what Shen Hao had been worried about previously. However, Shen You did not intend to help. Shen You sorted out her thoughts and explained her thoughts to Xie Chen in detail. Although Xie Chen was not very familiar with blogs, she was very appreciative of Shen You''s thoughts. "I''m not very good at this. Just tell me what you need me to do!" Xie Chen decided to contribute in this manner. Shen You thought for a moment. "Sister Chen, thank you so much for giving me so many opportunities!" Xie Chen reached out and rubbed Shen You''s head. "You little girl, what are you talking about!" "Aren''t you helping me expand my business, too!" Xie Chen''s face was full of smiles. "If it weren''t for you, my coffee shop would have closed down soon." "It won''t! Your coffee shop will always be open!" Shen You said seriously. Thinking of the broken coffee shop in her previous life, Shen You suddenly felt that it was like the situation in her previous life, making people feel desolate. She didn''t want the same to happen to the coffee shop again! She also didn''t want herself to be in the same situation again! Seeing Shen You''s serious look, the smile on Xie Chen''s face deepened. "Let''s work hard together!" Xie Chen grabbed Shen You''s hand and said. Shen You nodded heavily in response. Shen You was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was an unknown number. Shen You frowned slightly and said to Xie Chen, "Sister Chen, I need to take this call!" "Go ahead!" Xie Chen nodded and watched Shen You leave. Shen You went to the back door of the coffee shop. She pushed the door open and walked out. She stood in the back alley and picked up the call. "Who is this?" "Shen You!" The other party called out her name directly. Apparently, she knew her. However, Shen You had never heard this voice before. "Speaking. Who is this?" Shen You asked again. "You don''t have to bother who I am!" The other party replied rudely. "But I''m warning you, you''d better not think of ruining other people''s good deeds!" This accusation came out of nowhere, and Shen You''s brows furrowed tightly. "You didn''t even tell me who you are, why should I listen to your orders?" Shen You retorted bluntly. "In short, if you dare to ruin people''s good deeds, watch out for your life!" The other party warned again. Shen You couldn''t help but sneer, "You don''t have to worry about my life!" When the other party heard this, she snorted coldly, "You don''t know what''s good for you!" Shen You was about to say something when the other party hung up the phone. Shen You looked at the beeping phone and her face was full of indignation. "It''s not easy for me to live my life again! No one can even think about it!" Shen You growled at the phone''s microphone fiercely. After hanging up the phone, Shen You turned around and walked into the coffee shop. But the next moment, she was a little puzzled. There were very few people who knew her phone number. Who was the person who called? Shen You could not figure it out for a moment, so she could only keep this question and slowly solve it. Chapter 117 - The Lost Xie Chen Shen You returned to the coffee shop and straightaway went to the kitchen to prepare the cupcakes. The whole afternoon, she made a lot of new products. The college students who worked in the shop were so happy that they invited their friends over for food tasting. Xie Chen always said that Shen You was talented, but her talent had not been fully explored. Although Shen You was a little confident in her baking skills, it was her first time being supported by so many people. She was very happy. As the last-minute tasting event had ended successfully, Shen You had another idea. She calculated in her heart that she could carry out this tasting and the internet promotion simultaneously. When the time came, the effect would be even better. With this thought in mind, Shen You wanted to talk to Xie Chen again. She searched around the shop but did not see Xie Chen. Shen You was a little surprised. After all, Xie Chen rarely went out without telling. After about half an hour, Xie Chen walked in from outside the shop. Seeing her dejected look, Shen You guessed that she must have encountered something. Shen You did not have any memories of Xie Chen from her previous life. The only thing that could be related to Xie Chen was probably this coffee shop. Seeing Xie Chen stagger to the bar counter and stare blankly at the row of cups in front of her, Shen You did not know what to do for a moment. She walked forward and looked at Xie Chen, asking with concern, "Sister Chen, are you okay?" Hearing this, Xie Chen raised her head and looked at Shen You. The corners of her mouth twitched. "I''m fine..." Shen You felt that her heart was aching when she saw Xie Chen''s expression. She had never seen Xie Chen look like this before. Ever since she met Xie Chen, although she had always been as calm as water, she had never looked so lost as she was now. She had always been someone that people could rely on. Shen You gently held Xie Chen''s hand. "If you need me to do anything..." "It''s okay, there''s no need." Xie Chen looked at Shen You and shook her head. Shen You knew that the current Xie Chen needed to be alone. She said to Xie Chen, "Sister Chen, you go and rest first. I''m in the shop." Xie Chen looked at Shen You gratefully. She didn''t insist and went back to her room to rest. Shen You sat at the bar counter and thought about Xie Chen''s appearance when she left. At this moment, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open again. Shen You subconsciously stood up to greet the customers who came in. Shen You looked up and saw Huo Xiao walking in. She frowned slightly, and the expression on her face seemed to be a little impatient. Huo Xiao did not expect to see Shen You the moment he entered, so he subconsciously avoided her gaze. Seeing this, the expression on Shen You''s face became even more dissatisfied. She cursed in her heart, "What? Are you trying to avoid me now?" Although Shen You was displeased, she did not say much. Huo Xiao adjusted his mood and said to Shen You, "Why are you here at this time?" "I took the afternoon off," Shen You said simply. "What''s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Huo Xiao asked quickly. "Nothing!" Shen You replied perfunctorily. The two of them fell silent for a moment. The university student who worked here knew Huo Xiao. Seeing the two of them in a stalemate, she did not know whether to go over and greet him. After a long while, Shen You broke the silence. "What would you like to drink?" Huo Xiao thought for a moment. "A cup of coffee and a small cake, thank you!" "Sorry, the small cake is sold out today!" Shen You declined without hesitation. Huo Xiao frowned slightly, but he did not insist. "Then a cup of coffee will do. Thank you!" Shen You said to the university student beside her, "Sister Juan, could I trouble you for a cup of coffee? Thank you!" Li Juan quickly walked to the bar counter and prepared coffee for Huo Xiao. Shen You did not know why she was feeling so resentful. Ever since Huo Xiao entered, Shen You''s resentment seemed to have rushed out of her, making her feel like a rocket launcher. Li Juan made the coffee and handed it to Huo Xiao, who was still standing outside the bar counter. "Why don''t I bring it to your seat?" Huo Xiao shook his head and pulled a chair over to the bar counter to sit down. Huo Xiao had never eaten anywhere else besides the sofa by the window! Li Juan was a little surprised and looked at Huo Xiao wiping the table in front of him with a square handkerchief that he always brought along. This seemed to be Huo Xiao''s habit. No matter where he went, he had to carefully wipe the place where his hands would touch with a square handkerchief. Li Juan did not know the reason, but Shen You did. This was the sequela of Huo Xiao''s obsession with cleanliness. After keeping the square handkerchief, then only Hua Xiao took over the coffee. Chapter 118 - Xie Chens Story Shen You did not intend to care about Huo Xiao. She was sitting at the bar counter, looking at the computer in front of her, and studying the information on the blog post. Huo Xiao sipped his coffee quietly, his eyes occasionally glancing in Shen You''s direction. Li Juan saw that something seemed to be going on between the two of them, so she just watched by the side far away. Finally, Huo Xiao pushed the empty coffee cup in front of Shen You. "Can I have another cup?" Shen You did not raise her head. "Sister Juan..." Huo Xiao turned to look at Li Juan. Li Juan was sensible and did not go forward. She only watched from afar. Seeing that Li Juan did not respond to her, Shen You looked up and saw that Huo Xiao was already standing in front of her. Shen You took the coffee cup from the table and turned to make another cup for Huo Xiao. She did not know what she was angry about. She just did not want to talk to Huo Xiao at this moment. She could feel the luck value on Huo Xiao. It was a fatal attraction to her. However, she was resisting that attraction now. As it would not belong to her in the end! That feeling made Shen You feel empty in her heart... It felt like the way out that she had finally found was suddenly blocked by someone. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s back. He was silent for a moment. In the end, he still turned around and left. After Huo Xiao left, Li Juan came to Shen You''s side and asked, "What happened to you guys?" Shen You shook her head and did not speak. She did not know what had happened to herself either. Xie Xiao returned to the coffee shop after school and saw Shen You sitting at the bar counter. "Why are you here? Where''s my sister?" Shen You reached out and spoke near Xie Xiao''s ear. "I don''t know what Sister Chen saw today. She rushed out and when she came back, she looked like she was in a daze." "I saw that she was a little absent-minded, so I told her to go back and rest first," Shen You said in a low voice. Xie Xiao frowned. "Then I''ll go and see her!" The whole night, Shen You did not see Xie Chen walk out of the room. During dinner, Shen You asked Xie Xiao, who looked worried. "What happened to Sister Chen?" Xie Xiao shook her head. "She refused to tell me." Shen You nodded. "Don''t worry too much! She might be too tired." "Yeah, maybe," Xie Xiao said uncertainly. Shen You also knew that she was just consoling her. After dinner, the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze. Xie Xiao hugged the pillow and looked at the television in front of her. But she was not paying attention to what was playing on the television. Shen You was also thinking about all sorts of things in her mind. The flashing scenes in front of her were like a movie in her mind. Xie Xiao suddenly turned to look at Shen You. "Xiao You, do you think my sister saw..." Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, waiting for her to say something. Xie Xiao suddenly stopped talking. "Impossible! That person can''t be back!" "Who is that person?" Shen You asked curiously. Xie Xiao shook her head and sighed. "My sister used to have a very good boyfriend." "But it''s said that her boyfriend''s family disapproved of their relationship." Xie Xiao frowned deeply and seemed to be very dissatisfied. "The two of them had planned to leave this place and move to another place to live," Xie Xiao continued. "But, when my sister had already made all the preparations, that man suddenly disappeared," Xie Xiao said with a face full of resentment. "At that time, my sister even went to the man''s house to ask for an explanation. But his family said that he and his fianc¨¦e had gone abroad to settle down." There was a deep resentment on Xie Xiao''s face. "My sister wanted to ask the man about it, but his family refused to say where he was!" Xie Xiao said as she punched the pillow in front of her fiercely. "Then... what happened after that?" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s angry look and felt that things were not over yet. "After that, my family''s business suddenly suffered a blow." Xie Xiao shrugged. "My parents suffered a lot and vented their anger on my sister," Xie Xiao said as she looked at Shen You with a faint light in her eyes. "You have no idea how pitiful my sister was at that time!" Xie Xiao said with a sobbing tone. "She was already so miserable after being cheated by a man! Our family business suffered a blow, and she had to think of a way to help," Xie Xiao sobbed. "But not only did my parents not understand her, they even made things difficult for her!" Tears were already rolling down Xie Xiao''s face. "At that time, I really hated my parents to death!" Xie Xiao''s tone was tinged with hatred. Shen You gently reached out her hand and patted Xie Xiao''s shoulder. Chapter 119 - Supper For Xie Chen This was the first time Shen You had heard about Xie Chen''s story. She had never expected that Xie Chen, who always looked gentle and quiet, had encountered so many things. "If I see that man now, I will tear him apart with my hands!" Xie Xiao said fiercely. Shen You had a heart-aching and helpless smile on her face. "Maybe Xie Chen still has that person in her heart." "How is that possible! That person has caused my sister to be in such a miserable state!" Xie Xiao snorted discontentedly. "Human feelings are just so strange!" Shen You said meaningfully and heartfeltly. "Why do you sound so old when you say that?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You strangely. "To be honest, sometimes I feel that you always give people the feeling that you have seen through the world," Xie Xiao voiced out her confusion. Shen You smiled and said, "I guess I have lived a lifetime longer than others!" Shen You said with a half-truth. "What nonsense are you spouting!" Xie Xiao waved her hand, wanting to get rid of Shen You''s somewhat desolate appearance. Xie Xiao did not know if it was her misconception. When she occasionally looked at Shen You in a daze, she always felt that she was like an old woman in her twilight years. However, they were clearly at the same age, and they had not even walked through one-third of their lives! Shen You smiled at Xie Xiao. "Do you know what it means to be young and mature?" Xie Xiao looked her up and down and said, "No! You''re not that kind of person!" Shen You had a helpless smile on her face. "Alright, I won''t play with you anymore!" "Sister Chen didn''t have dinner tonight. I''ll go make her some supper." Shen You stood up and walked to the kitchen. "Do you want some?" "Sure!" Xie Xiao also got up and walked behind Shen You. "Xiao You, I think if I continue to live with you, I will become a fat woman!" Xie Xiao said seriously. "Isn''t it good to be a fat woman? It''s happiness fat!" Shen You couldn''t help but tease. "No! I don''t want to be a fat woman! I want to become a skeleton spirit!" Xie Xiao said and made a pose. Shen You slapped Xie Xiao''s arm. "Skeleton spirit? I think you''re more like a rib spirit now!" "You need to take good care of yourself!" Shen You said as her eyes darted around Xie Xiao''s chest. Xie Xiao''s expression changed immediately as she glared at Shen You. "Fine! You''re looking at me in this manner! I want to keep what''s yours for myself!" As Xie Xiao spoke, her hands were already reaching out towards Shen You. Shen You screamed as she tried to hide. The two of them began to fight noisily at the kitchen door. Xie Chen sat on the bed and listened to the noise outside. Tears were still falling from her eyes. She had been looking forward to seeing that person again so much. Even though she had been hurt, she still wanted to see him. However, for some reason, the moment she saw him, she retreated. She was outside the coffee shop when she saw that person standing there. She did not dare to go out and meet him. When that person turned around and left, she rushed out, but she only dared to watch him leave from afar. Even now, Xie Chen still did not know how to face that person! Should she greet him calmly? Should she say, "Hi, long time no see?" Or to rush up and tear off his clothes, asking him to compensate her for the loss of her many years of youth? Or to hug him and cry about her suffering all these years? It was only at this moment that Xie Chen realized that she did not know how to face that person! Xie Chen suddenly felt that she was so pathetic! So pathetic that it was even somewhat laughable! She sat on the bed and crossed her legs, hoping to feel a little warmth from her body. Shen You brought the supper and knocked on Xie Chen''s door. Xie Chen replied softly, "Please come in!" Xie Xiao opened the door for Shen You. The two of them walked into the room and looked at Xie Chen, who was still curled up on the bed in the dim light. The two of them just stood there, not knowing if they should walk forward. Xie Chen waved at the two of them. Shen You walked over with a tray. "Sister Chen, I prepared some food. Do you want to eat some?" Xie Chen smiled lightly and shook her head. "I''m not hungry!" "Sister! You have to eat something! It''s not good for your health!" Xie Xiao looked at Xie Chen''s thin figure and said. Xie Chen smiled bitterly. "It''s just a meal. It won''t do anything!" Xie Xiao wanted to retort, but Shen You shook her head at her. Shen You placed the tray on the side table and walked to the bed. Xie Chen patted the edge of the bed and motioned for the two of them to sit down. Shen You and Xie Xiao sat at each of the feet of the bed. The three of them sat quietly in the darkroom for a while. Chapter 120 - Trash In The Trash Shen You looked at the tears at the corner of Xie Chen''s eyes and her heart ached. "Sister Chen, don''t be so sad." Xie Chen smiled bitterly. "I''m fine. I''m just a little tired." Xie Chen wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and smiled apologetically. "Maybe I''m sleepy, too." Shen You nodded. "Maybe you don''t go to the shop for the next two days. Have a good rest." Xie Chen shook her head. "I''m not so delicate!" Shen You looked at Xie Chen''s stubborn look, and she didn''t know how to persuade her. Xie Xiao looked indignant. "Sis! Tell me who that person is! I''ll go and teach him a lesson!" Xie Chen grabbed Xia Xiao''s hand. "It''s already in the past!" "I''m just..." Xie Chen bit her lower lip. "I''m just a little tired." Seeing that Xie Chen refused to say anything, Xie Xiao could only mumble, "It''s all my fault. I was too focused on my things and didn''t know who that man was!" "I asked Dad and Mom, but they refused to tell me! Otherwise..." Xie Xiao''s eyes flashed with murderous intent. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and sighed helplessly. "Don''t tell me you can kill people!" "I think it''s good for Sister Chen!" Shen You said sincerely, "The sooner you recognize a scumbag, the sooner you can be free." Xie Chen pursed her lips. She wanted to say something, but she didn''t say it out. Shen You knew that Xie Chen had her thoughts. No one could control her. Especially when it came to matters of feelings. No one else could interfere! However, Xie Xiao still had an unwilling expression on her face. She wanted nothing more than to go up and tear that man''s head off. Shen You saw that Xie Chen was still a little tired, so she pulled Xie Xiao out. "Sister Chen, I''ve put the food on the table. If you''re hungry, eat some," Shen You said as she gestured to the table. "We''ll go out first! You rest early!" Shen You said. She didn''t care about Xie Xiao''s struggle and pulled her out. After they left Xie Chen''s room, Xie Xiao looked at Shen You unhappily. "Why didn''t you let me ask?" Shen You sighed. "This kind of thing, only they can solve it themselves. We can''t help them!" "How do you know!" Xie Xiao still snorted unhappily. "What else can you do? Killing someone is against the law!" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao seriously. Xie Xiao suddenly thought of something and looked at Shen You. "Then, between Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan, who do you think is the scumbag?" Shen You blinked her eyes. "Why do you ask this?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You seriously. "Don''t you think that both of them are scumbags?" Shen You was confused by Xie Xiao. "Why do you have this feeling? Do you think all men are scumbags?" "That''s right! That Zhu Ge is especially scum!" Xie Xiao said fiercely. Shen You didn''t know if Xie Xiao was just angry at that moment or if she really thought so. She pulled Xie Xiao to the sofa. "Why do you have such thoughts?" "Look, how did Zhao Nan treat you before? Wasn''t he scum?" Xie Xiao stared at Shen You. Shen You thought about it and couldn''t help but nod her head. "Then something happened to your family, and he wanted to use the engagement as leverage. Wasn''t he a jerk?" Xie Xiao asked again. "Uh... this..." Shen You had no choice but to nod her head again. "Let''s talk about Huo Xiao!" Xie Xiao held Shen You''s hand. Shen You couldn''t help but feel sorry for Huo Xiao. "He didn''t seem to be a jerk!" "Since he''s getting engaged, why is he still trying to seduce you?" Xie Xiao stared at Shen You. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao in surprise. "What are you talking about? When did he seduce me?" However, Xie Xiao stared at every change in Shen You''s expression. "He didn''t?" Shen You paused for a moment before she slowly said, "I don''t think so... right..." "What do you mean you don''t think so?" Xie Xiao''s tone became even more unfriendly. "Why did he go to the hospital to visit you?" Xie Xiao stretched out one hand and bent down one finger as she began to recount Huo Xiao''s ''crimes''. "Why did he come to the coffee shop to wait for you?" Xie Xiao said as she bent down another finger. "Why did he give you a phone?" Xie Xiao said one by one as she bent down one finger after another. "He''s a super clean freak. But because of you, he changed and even gave you tutoring!" After saying that, Xie Xiao grabbed Shen You''s hand and asked, "If this isn''t flirting, then what is it?" "After flirting, he ran away. He''s trash in the trash!" Xie Xiao finally concluded. After hearing what Xie Xiao said, Shen You had to admit that Huo Xiao was really trash! Chapter 121 - Ling Rui Fell Ill After a night of brainwashing by Xie Xiao, the whole morning Shen You felt that Huo Xiao was indeed a scumbag! When she saw Huo Xiao in school early in the morning, she snorted coldly and ignored him. Huo Xiao had initially wanted to take advantage of the time in school to have a good chat with Shen You, but he did not expect her to behave in such a manner. Huo Xiao frowned as he watched Shen You sit down next to him and organize her things, ignoring him. Out of nowhere, he was full of anger and grabbed Shen You''s arm. "Let''s go out and talk!" Shen You was shocked by Huo Xiao''s action and subconsciously wanted to shake off his hand. Huo Xiao certainly would not let go and still hold Shen You tightly. Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Ling Rui suddenly stood beside Shen You and said in a low voice, "Shen You, I have something to tell you." Shen You turned to look at Ling Rui. Although she did not feel like talking to him, she did not reject him like how she felt towards Huo Xiao. "Okay!" Shen You said and wanted to get up and leave with Ling Rui. "She''s not free!" Huo Xiao still refused to let go of Shen You. Wu Qi walked to Huo Xiao''s side and said, "Huo Xiao, my mom asked me to bring you something." Shen You glanced at Wu Qi, shook off Huo Xiao''s hand, got up, and followed Ling Rui out. Huo Xiao stared at the backs of the two people as they left. He looked at Wu Qi and said, "Don''t do these useless things." "How could it be useless? One day, you will accept me! We are engaged, aren''t we?" Wu Qi said with a smile on her face. Huo Xiao impatiently used something to push Wu Qi''s things away. He did not even want to touch her things. Wu Qi did not mind. "You''re still a clean freak as when you were a child!" Huo Xiao ignored her and continued to read his book. Wu Qi placed the things on Huo Xiao''s desk. "I will leave the things here. Remember to bring them home!" Huo Xiao ignored Wu Qi. Wu Qi smiled and turned to leave. However, the moment she turned around, her face gradually darkened. Huo Xiao had been waiting for Shen You to come back. However, Shen You and Ling Rui still did not return when the class started. Feeling uneasy, Huo Xiao got up and walked out of the classroom. The teacher who was in class was shocked by his actions and quickly called out to him. However, he acted as if he did not hear and walked out straight. He went around the school but still could not find Shen You. Just as he was afraid that something might have happened to Shen You, he saw Shen You running out from a bush with her hands full of blood. Huo Xiao quickly rushed over. "What has happened to you? Are you injured?" Shen You shook her head. "I''m fine! But Ling Rui!" Shen You said in a panic, grabbing Huo Xiao''s hand and running towards the bush. Huo Xiao followed Shen You to the bush and found Ling Rui lying on the ground. There were pools of blood around him. Seeing Shen You''s panicked look, Huo Xiao quickly comforted her, "Don''t be afraid! I''ll call an ambulance right away!" "Go to the infirmary and get the teacher here!" Huo Xiao ordered. Shen You nodded and ran to the infirmary. When the teacher and Shen You arrived, Huo Xiao had already turned Ling Rui''s body over. Ling Rui''s chest was covered in blood, and it was a shocking sight. The teacher rushed forward and gave Ling Rui a preliminary check. "What happened?" Shen You said in a trembling voice, "We were talking here, and suddenly he started vomiting blood. I don''t know what happened." "Does he have a medical history? Do you know?" The teacher asked again. "I..." Shen You became even more flustered. She was about to cry. "Hemophilia, family medical history," Huo Xiao said calmly. Hearing Huo Xiao''s words, Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in shock. Huo Xiao stared at the teacher''s actions and said, "I''ve already called the hospital. They''ll be here soon." Shen You''s entire body was trembling, and the blood on her hands looked even more shocking. Shen You did not expect Ling Rui to have such an illness. Perhaps this was the reason why he finally went all out in his previous life! Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s nervous look and felt a little sorry for her. He gently patted Shen You on the back and comforted her. Shen You looked up at Huo Xiao, and there were tears in her eyes. The teacher was checking to see if Ling Rui had any other external injuries that were bleeding. Fortunately, he did not fall to the ground directly. It seemed that he was held up by Shen You before he fell onto the ground. When the ambulance arrived, Huo Xiao and the teacher got in and instructed Shen You to wait at the infirmary. Shen You watched as the ambulance left. She stood where she was and stared at the blood on her hands. "This... why...." Shen You murmured as she looked at her hands, feeling an unprecedented fear. Chapter 122 - Ling Ruis Accusation Shen You returned to the infirmary in a daze. She felt the blood that was boiling on her hands just now was now making her feel cold. She rushed to the sink and washed her hands hard with hot water. After a long time, only then Shen You walked back to the chair at the side and sit down. She sat quietly on the spot, and everything around her seemed to stand still. Shen You lowered her head and looked at her hands. The feeling of her life slipping away bit by bit made her feel even more real. "Why? Are you scared?" The system''s voice sounded in Shen You''s mind. "Is this the feeling of approaching death?" Shen You asked faintly. "You''ve died before, you should know." The system''s voice sounded very heartless. Shen You closed her eyes and carefully recalled what she had experienced. "I don''t remember! At that time, it felt like nothing was important, nothing was real!" Shen You said as she covered her eyes with her hands. "It''s just that you don''t want to remember." The system''s voice sounded again, but it was not clear if it was comforting her. "I don''t know, I only know that this feeling makes me afraid." Shen You shared the feeling deep in her heart. "You can have more chances to live now! Don''t be afraid!" The system seemed to be comforting Shen you this time. "Human life is so fragile!" Tears slowly fell from the corners of Shen You''s eyes, "There are many things that are inevitable." Shen You suddenly thought of something. She sat up straight and asked the system, "In my previous life, why did Ling Rui hurt Wu Qi, do you know why?" "Is it because he knew he was going to die?" Shen You guessed with uncertainty. "But, he liked Wu Qi, right?" Shen You asked again, "Why would he hurt the person he liked?" The system suddenly went silent. Shen You stopped asking but waited quietly. After a long time, the system said, "No, it was not what you are thinking of." "Then why?" Shen You was even more confused. The system did not answer Shen You''s question. Instead, it asked, "Have you thought about the question Ling Rui asked you just now?" This question stumped Shen You. Before Ling Rui fainted, they were having an intense argument. If it was not for Ling Rui''s congenital disease, Shen You would probably be charged with the crime of injury. Thinking of Ling Rui''s question, Shen You fell into deep thought again. "Shen You, do you like Huo Xiao?" Ling Rui asked straightforwardly. Shen You looked at Ling Rui in surprise as if she had heard something strange. "Of course not! What a joke!" Shen You swallowed the words "I only treat him as a store of luck value". "Then why are you with Huo Xiao every day?" Ling Rui asked again. Then, he questioned again, "Do you know that if you do this, others will be very sad!" "Others? Are you talking about Wu Qi?" Shen You stared at Ling Rui''s face and asked coldly. "After knowing they are engaged, I have avoided contact with Huo Xiao!" Shen You felt very uncomfortable with Ling Rui''s attitude. However, Ling Rui did not care about Shen You''s reaction at all. He insisted on his thoughts. "But the damage has already been done!" "But you can''t blame me for this! I didn''t know anything before this!" Shen You immediately defended herself. Moreover, was this damage indeed caused by her? "You''re too selfish!" Ling Rui immediately made a judgment. Shen You was instantly furious. "Ling Rui, don''t you think you''re very weird?" "Who are you to stand up for Wu Qi?" Shen You asked Ling Rui instead. Ling Rui was suddenly at a loss for words. "I..." Ling Rui really could not think of an excuse. He could only say, "In short, everyone is hurt if you are doing this!" "I beg your pardon!" Shen You could not help but laugh. "Ever since I found out that Huo Xiao and Wu Qi are engaged, I haven''t even spoken to Huo Xiao. What else do you want me to do?" "You should leave this place!" Ling Rui gave the suggestion which he thought was the most reasonable. Shen You did not agree with his suggestion and asked, "I should leave? Why? On what basis?" "If you stay here, everyone will be uncomfortable!" Ling Rui gave his reason. Shen You looked at Ling Rui in disbelief. "I think you''re a little ridiculous!" "Even if I leave, Wu Qi will not belong to you!" Shen You said with a mocking smile on her lips. "I know... But...." Before Ling Rui could finish his words, he fell to the ground right away. Chapter 123 - Not To Have Anything To Do With It The teacher from the infirmary came back from the hospital with Huo Xiao. Seeing Shen You was still sitting in the infirmary in a daze, the two of them looked at each other. Huo Xiao walked forward and patted Shen You''s shoulder gently. "Are you okay?" Shen You suddenly jumped from the chair and turned to look at Huo Xiao. "You''re back! Is Ling Rui okay?" Huo Xiao nodded and put a hand on Shen You''s shoulder to comfort her. "He''s fine for now. His family has gone over. They will follow up on further treatment." "Oh." Shen You replied and did not say anything else. The teacher looked at Shen You and advised, "Don''t worry too much. His fainting has nothing to do with you." "You are tired, too. Go back and rest early," the teacher from the infirmary suggested. Shen You slowly stood up, bowed to the teacher, and walked out of the infirmary. Huo Xiao said goodbye to the teacher and chased after her, "I''ll send you back!" Shen You seemed to have been suddenly turned on by a switch and said coldly, "No, thanks!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s somewhat stiff back and said, "I''ll be worried if you go back like this!" "I''m fine!" Shen You refused again and quickened her pace. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s somewhat stubborn back and did not chase after her. Instead, he slowly followed behind her. Shen You knew that Huo Xiao was following behind her, so she quickened her pace. Huo Xiao frowned deeply. He did not know why Shen You was avoiding him in such a manner. However, he knew that Shen You needed some time to process her emotions and calm down. He only stayed about three meters away from Shen You, quietly following her in case anything happened to her. When they reached the coffee shop, Shen You pushed the door open and walked in. Huo Xiao stood outside the door and did not follow her in. At that moment, the door closed in front of Huo Xiao, making him feel as if he and Shen You were separated into two worlds. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You''s back and did not leave for a long time. Xie Chen was still sitting at the bar counter, staring at the door in a daze. She saw Shen You walk in expressionlessly, greeted her, and then walked to her room. When she looked at the door again, Huo Xiao was standing on the same spot, not moving at all. Xie Chen did not know what had happened between the two of them, but she had a feeling that they must be at loggerheads. Xie Chen had heard about the engagement between Huo Xiao and Wu Qi. However, to her, an engagement between large families seemed to be a common practice in the development of a business. If the two children had the same mind, they could find time to develop their feelings and then get married. However, some also pursued short-term interests and only used the engagement as a turning point in the development of their business. This kind of operation was the most common in aristocratic families. However, ever since the matter of Huo Xiao and Wu Qi''s engagement was exposed, Shen You seemed to have changed into a different person. She began to work very hard. Even though Xie Chen had always known that Shen You worked hard to live and achieve her goals. But now, Shen You seemed to have fallen into a workaholic state. Other than the time when she went to school and slept, she was desperately looking for work opportunities. Shen You'' was as if she wanted to use her busy life to cover up something. Xie Chen knew that Shen You''s mood had changed, but it was not convenient for others to interfere in these matters. She could only let her think things through on her own. Huo Xiao stood at the door for a long time before he turned around and left. Xie Chen sighed. "Young people!" After Huo Xiao left, Xie Chen''s gaze once again lingered at the entrance of the coffee shop as if she was looking for something. Xie Xiao came back from school and went straight into Shen You''s room. "I heard that you''re not feeling well. What''s the matter?" Seeing Shen You lying on the bed, Xie Xiao was even more worried. "You went out with Ling Rui, but neither of you came back! I was really afraid that he would bully you!" Seeing Shen You now made Xie Xiao feel much more at ease. "However, I heard that he ended up in the hospital. Could it be that you beat him up?" Xie Xiao could not help but guess. They did not know the whole story. They only knew that the teacher from the infirmary told their class teacher that Ling Rui was in the hospital and that Shen You went home to rest first because she was not feeling well. Xie Xiao wanted to ask more, but she found out that Huo Xiao, who went to find Shen You, was also missing. The teacher from the infirmary just said that they were all fine and that there was no need to worry. Xie Xiao waited until after school, then rushed back to the coffee shop.. In the end, she saw Shen You lying on the bed. Chapter 124 - No Feelings For Huo Xiao? Shen You got up from the bed and sat up. She smiled weakly at Xie Xiao and said, "Ling Rui was not feeling well and fainted. The teacher sent him to the hospital." "What about you? Are you okay?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You up and down with concern. Her listless look was rarely seen! Shen You shook her head and said with a chuckle, "I''m fine! You don''t have to worry!" "How not to worry! You said you would not take long but in the end, you didn''t come back the whole afternoon!" Xie Xiao couldn''t help but complain. "We all guessed that the two of you went out to fight!" Xie Xiao pouted and said. The corner of Shen You''s mouth twitched slightly. "Why would we fight?" Xie Xiao frowned and thought about it seriously. "That''s true! Even if it''s a relationship issue, the two of you should be on the same side!" Hearing that, Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. She slapped Xie Xiao''s arm. "We are not on the same side!" "How can that be! You guys..." Xie Xiao was about to explain, but Shen You stopped her. "I''m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and asked, blinking her eyes. Xie Xiao immediately slapped her head and said, "Sister had asked me to bring you some food but I forgot about it! Wait for me!" Xie Xiao immediately turned around and ran out after she finished speaking. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao running out and shook her head with a bitter smile. Xie Xiao always seemed to be in a hurry. And she could solve everything easily at her end. Shen You was even a little envious of Xie Xiao. A moment later, Xie Xiao came back. "Hey! Sister said you look a little tired, so she made you some nourishing soup." "Do you want me to feed you?" Xie Xiao scooped the soup and winked at Shen You. Shen You quickly reached out her hand and declined, "No, thanks!" She took over the soup bowl, scooped the soup one mouthful at a time, and drank it quietly. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression. A moment later, she straightened her face and asked, "Shen You, I think there''s something wrong with the engagement between Huo Xiao and Wu Qi." Shen You did not want to hear anything related to this matter. Just as she was about to tell Xie Xiao, she was stopped by her. "Don''t rush, listen to me." Xie Xiao stopped Shen You. "If Huo Xiao wanted to get engaged to someone, I think with your previous relationship with him, he would have told you in advance." Xie Xiao looked into Shen You''s eyes and said seriously. "But this matter did not come out from Huo Xiao." Xie Xiao added her thoughts again. "We didn''t even hear him say anything about getting engaged, did we?" Xie Xiao guessed. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s serious expression and fell into deep thought. Yes! She had heard about Huo Xiao''s engagement from Zhu Ge. Then, Ling Rui added fuel to the fire. Huo Xiao had wanted to tell her about the engagement several times, but she had rejected him. She didn''t want to hear anything about Huo Xiao''s engagement, but maybe he had something to explain! At this moment, the anger that had been stifling Shen You''s heart seemed to have been cleared. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and said, "Continue." As Shen You was listening, Xie Xiao smiled and said, "So I feel that there might be something behind this." "Also, I heard that the Wu family has been entering and leaving the Huo family frequently recently, but Wu Qi has never been there," Xie Xiao continued. "Don''t you think it''s strange? The two of them are engaged, but the main characters rarely appear," Xie Xiao voiced her thoughts again. "I think we should listen to what Huo Xiao has to say," Xie Xiao said seriously. Hearing Xie Xiao''s words, Shen You immediately fell into deep thought again. A moment later, she nodded. "Okay! If Huo Xiao comes looking for me again, I will talk to him." After listening to Shen You''s words, Xie Xiao''s heart finally settled down. Xie Xiao patted her chest and said, "I am indeed an old mother! I worry about you two every day!" "What do you mean by you two!" Shen You could not help but pat Xie Xiao''s hand. However, Xie Xiao said happily, "Don''t tell me that you don''t have feelings for Huo Xiao!" Xie Xiao''s question stumped Shen You. Didn''t she have any feelings for him? Shen You herself could not understand it now! She had only wanted to stay by Huo Xiao''s side, but that was just to survive. Now, even if she risked her life, she still wanted to escape from Huo Xiao... Didn''t she have any feelings for Huo Xiao? Chapter 125 - Ling Rui Was Not Worthy In the next few days, many people in the class heard about Ling Rui. The class monitor, Xie Xiao, initiated to arrange for a few people to visit Ling Rui in the hospital. Ling Rui was a transfer student. In this class, other than Wu Qi, who had a good relationship with him, he did not have many friends. Xie Xiao wanted to use the visit to make Ling Rui feel some warmth from the class. Many people participated actively and contributed money and effort. However, Wu Qi did not seem to have any reaction. These days, Wu Qi went to school and left school as usual. It was said that she would go home obediently after school. She was even more obedient than a newbie who had just started schooling. There were no changes in her at all after Ling Rui, who had been following her all this time, had suddenly disappeared. Some people even secretly complained to Xie Xiao that Wu Qi had not even gone to the hospital since Ling Rui fell ill. Xie Xiao did not know what Wu Qi was thinking, but she felt that Wu Qi should be invited to join the visit to the hospital. Xie Xiao walked to Wu Qi and handed the card in her hand to Wu Qi. "Wu Qi, you have the best relationship with Ling Rui. Why not you and I make a trip on behalf of everyone?" Wu Qi looked at the card but did not reach out to take it. "Why?" Xie Xiao was a little surprised when she heard Wu Qi''s question. "What do you mean?" "Why do you want me to go?" Wu Qi asked. "Well, aren''t you the closest to Ling Rui?" Xie Xiao looked at Wu Qi in confusion. Wu Qi retorted sternly, "How did you know that we were close?" "Ah?" Xie Xiao was dumbfounded. "Isn''t that so? You guys have always been in and out together!" "He has always been with me!" Wu Qi pointed out the crux of the problem. "But when did I ask him to go in and out together with me?" After Wu Qi said that, she asked, "Is he worthy?" When Wu Qi said that, many people around her were surprised. Xie Xiao was at a loss for words. She didn''t know how to continue to communicate with Wu Qi. She took the card back awkwardly. "But, you guys transferred here together and often came to school and went back together." "I have told you, he was the one who followed me!" Wu Qi emphasized again as if she was eager to get rid of something. "Please don''t make up stories about relationships, okay?" Wu Qi stared at Xie Xiao with sharp eyes. "Otherwise, I will sue you for slander!" "But, didn''t you guys grow up together?" Xie Xiao tried her best to explain what she meant. She didn''t want Wu Qi to think that she had malicious intentions. Wu Qi didn''t appreciate it at all. "So what? Is there a rule that says that I have to be close with him as we grow up together?" Wu Qi''s tone instantly made Xie Xiao freeze on the spot. She stood where she was and didn''t even know how to continue the conversation with Wu Qi. Finally, Zhu Ge walked to Xie Xiao''s side and said, "Class monitor! I''ll go with you!" Xie Xiao turned her head in a daze and looked at Zhu Ge gratefully. "Okay!" Zhu Ge smiled at Xie Xiao and took the card from her hand. "This card is pretty good!" "Let''s go! Let''s add some more things!" After Zhu Ge said that, he grabbed Xie Xiao''s wrist with his other hand and brought her away from Wu Qi. Wu Qi did not seem to be affected at all. She lowered her head and continued to do her things. Many people around were surprised by Wu Qi''s attitude. They were even more confused about the relationship between Wu Qi and Ling Rui! Shen You watched from afar and was also shocked at the same time. In her opinion, even if Wu Qi did not like Ling Rui, it was not to the extent of having such a bad attitude. After all, the two of them grew up together. Even if love did not exist, they should still be friends. Shen You stared at Wu Qi, trying to find an answer from her. At this moment, Wu Qi suddenly turned to look at Shen You. For a moment, Shen You was shocked. But in the next moment, she immediately realized that Wu Qi was not looking at her, but at Huo Xiao behind her. Huo Xiao did not notice Wu Qi''s gaze, he was busy with something. Shen You immediately felt a little embarrassed for Wu Qi. However, when Wu Qi''s vicious gaze shot at her, Shen You only felt her scalp go numb. That feeling was too terrifying! She had never seen such deep hatred in anyone''s eyes! Even Shen Jiao, that proud princess, only looked at her with disdain. Even when she ruined Shen Jiao''s plan, she only roared in anger! However, at this moment, Shen You could feel Wu Qi''s gaze stabbing towards her like a sharp blade. Chapter 126 - Visit To The Hospital It was not easy to make it to the end of school. Without waiting for Xie Xiao to say anything, Shen You rushed to Xie Xiao and said, "I''ll go to the hospital with you!" "Okay!" Xie Xiao replied blankly before Shen You grabbed her and rushed out of the classroom. Huo Xiao had wanted to say something to Shen You, but she did not give him a chance at all. Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment, got up, and was about to leave. "Huo Xiao, your things..." Wu Qi reminded Huo Xiao when she saw that Huo Xiao did not take the things that she had put aside. Huo Xiao glanced at the things and said, "If you want to send them, send yourself." After saying that, Huo Xiao walked past the bag of things and left the classroom. Wu Qi gritted her teeth and picked up the bag from Huo Xiao''s seat. She walked to the trash bin at the back of the classroom and threw it in. When Xie Xiao and Shen You arrived at the hospital, they saw a group of people around Ling Rui''s ward. Xie Xiao and Shen You looked at each other. The two of them looked at each other, but they still braced themselves and walked over. Just as they walked closer, they heard someone from the group shouting, "If this child is gone, we have to split the assets equally." "What status do you have?! Why do we need to split the assets equally?!" Another voice sounded, clearly disagreeing with the previous person''s words. The previous person snorted, "I''m also a member of the Ling family, why can''t I have an equal share?" "Don''t forget! Your mother has already remarried bringing you along a long time ago!" The person who had previously raised objections immediately retorted. The two of them argued endlessly. The person beside them also tried to dissuade them, "Sigh, let''s not talk about this for now. Let''s see how Ling Rui is doing first!" "What else can he do? He''s the same as his father!" A voice sounded like he was gloating. "Speaking of Ling Rui''s father, it''s really... a pity!" Someone in the crowd sighed. "Isn''t it all fate? Now it''s this child''s turn!" Another person continued to say. Xie Xiao and Shen You turned to look at each other. They saw the shock in each other''s eyes. The two of them subconsciously took a few steps back, turned around, and walked towards the other side of the corridor. The two of them had never thought that they would encounter such a thing when they were visiting a patient. They did not stop until they reached the entrance of the hospital. "Hey, how could this be!" Xie Xiao could not help but sigh. Shen You also shook her head helplessly. "I didn''t expect Ling Rui to live in such an environment." "He''s too pitiful! Those people were hoping for him to get sick!" Xie Xiao could not help but mutter. Shen You sighed in her heart, "They were hoping for him to die!" Shen You never thought that there was someone in the world who was even more miserable than her! She initially thought that Shen Jiao, who was hoping for her to disappear every day, was already cruel enough! She did not expect that there was a group of people who were hoping for Ling Rui to die young! Shen You did not know how wealthy Ling Rui was to be able to make this group of people flocks to him like a flock of bees. Xie Xiao lifted the bag in her hand and asked, "What should we do with these things?" Shen You frowned slightly and was about to say something when she suddenly saw a few people at the side from the corner of her eye. Shen You pulled Xie Xiao to the side of the stone pillar at the entrance and saw a few people walking out of the hospital''s main entrance. Xie Xiao was stunned. "Aren''t they the group of people just now..." Xie Xiao looked at a few familiar faces and said. Shen You nodded. "It''s that group of people! It looks like they''ve left!" "Then, shall we go up and take a look?" Xie Xiao asked, unwilling to give up. Shen You nodded and the two of them walked towards Ling Rui''s ward again. When they walked to the ward, the scene of the group of people blocking the door was indeed gone. Just as the two of them were about to push the door open and enter, they heard a voice from inside, "Ling Rui, don''t blame Auntie for being ruthless..." "You should sign this will early, it''s somehow better than suddenly..." the voice paused for a moment and even sounded like crying, "What do you want Auntie to do when the time comes!" Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at each other and pressed their ears against the door to listen carefully, but they did not hear any response. After a long while, an angry roar suddenly came from inside. "If you continue to behave like this, no one will care whether you live or die!" After that person finished speaking, she pushed the door open and walked out of the ward in a huff. Shen You and Xie Xiao stood on both sides of the ward''s door in a daze. They saw that person rush out of the door. That person looked left and right at Xie Xiao and Shen You. She then snorted and left in her high-heeled shoes. The door to the ward closed, and a faint sound could be heard. Shen You and Xie Xiao saw the frightened expressions on each other''s faces.. They turned to look at the door of the ward and could not help but swallow their saliva. Chapter 127 - Not A Terminal Illness! "System, is Ling Rui''s illness treatable?" Shen You suddenly thought of the ''omniscient'' system and quickly asked. "Lifelong treatment," the system answered simply. "Does it mean that he needs to be treated for life?" Shen You asked again, "It''s not a terminal illness?" "No!" The system gave an affirmative answer. "That''s good!" Shen You nodded secretly. Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at each other, then they knocked on the ward door and were ready to go in. However, before they pushed the door open, there was a bang on the door, followed by an angry roar, "Get lost!" Shen You and Xie Xiao were shocked. They looked at the tightly shut door of the ward and hesitated for a moment. At this moment, Huo Xiao appeared behind the two of them. "Go in!" Before the two of them could react, Huo Xiao had already pushed the door open and walked in. Shen You and Xie Xiao followed behind Huo Xiao into the ward in a daze. In the ward, Ling Rui, who was dressed in a hospital gown, was wearing a variety of equipment and tubes. He was sitting on the hospital bed, panting heavily. Hearing the sound of the door, Ling Rui was about to explode again. However, he was stunned when he saw them. He restrained his temper and said coldly to Huo Xiao, "Why are you here?" Huo Xiao walked to Ling Rui''s bed and looked at his pale face. "Are you going to die soon?" Hearing Huo Xiao''s provocative words, Ling Rui''s expression became a little ferocious. "What do you mean?" Huo Xiao stood where he was and looked at Ling Rui. "At least, that''s what your relatives hope for!" Huo Xiao''s words hit Ling Rui''s soft spot. Ling Rui''s expression became even uglier. "Please go away, I''m tired!" Xie Xiao quickly walked forward and handed the things in her hands to Ling Rui. "This is a gift prepared by the classmates. Everyone hopes..." Xie Xiao was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered the attitude of Ling Rui''s relatives. She immediately shut her mouth. Shen You knew what Xie Xiao was hesitating about, but she still walked forward and said, "We hope that you will recover soon!" Hearing this, Ling Rui raised his head and glared at Shen You. "Recover soon?" "Are you mocking me?" Ling Rui''s expression darkened and was full of anger. "It''s not a terminal illness, isn''t it?" Shen You asked matter-of-factly. "Do you know what it means to be incurable for the rest of your life?" Ling Rui growled. "But it''s not a terminal illness!" Shen You stated her view again. Hearing Shen You''s words, Ling Rui suddenly felt powerless. "Forget it, you won''t understand even if I tell you." "No!" Shen You immediately denied Ling Rui''s words. "A person''s illness is only truly incurable when he gives up on himself!" "Your illness merely requires long-term treatment." Shen You continued, "It''s not like you don''t have money. Why do you have to give up on yourself and leave the money to your relatives?" Hearing Shen You''s words, Ling Rui''s expression changed repeatedly. Xie Xiao immediately looked at Shen You with admiration. Shen You looked at Ling Rui as if she had been through this before. "Never give up the chance to live! Not everyone has the chance to choose to live!" Ling Rui listened to Shen You''s words and seemed to understand, but he was even quieter. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You with a strange expression, but he did not say anything. Shen You suddenly felt that a little bit of luck value was continuously surging towards her. It was not the kind of luck value that was full of strength like Huo Xiao''s, but a little bit of luck value that was slightly weaker. "Congratulations, you have obtained a new luck value." The system''s voice sounded again. "Ling Rui?" Shen You asked in disbelief. "Yes!" The system replied happily. "Why?" Shen You felt even more incredulous. However, the system did not respond. "Shen You..." Ling Rui''s voice suddenly sounded in her ear. Shen You was shocked. She finally regained her senses and looked at Ling Rui. "What, what''s the matter?" "Thank you!" Ling Rui said softly. "Ah?" Shen You looked at Ling Rui in surprise. Xie Xiao came forward and used her arm to signal to Shen You. "Good job!" Shen You smiled awkwardly. "I''m just telling the truth!" Ling Rui did not say anything else to Shen You. He turned to look at Huo Xiao. "Can you do what you said before?" Huo Xiao looked at Ling Rui and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. "You''ve finally figured it out!" Ling Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head. "In the end, you still won!" "I''ve said it before, you can''t beat me!" Huo Xiao emphasized seriously. "Yes! You''ll always be the one who wins!" Ling Rui could not help but sigh. Chapter 128 - Ling Ruis Story Looking at the interaction between Huo Xiao and Ling Rui, Shen You suddenly realized that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be beyond her imagination. Xie Xiao immediately asked the question in Shen You''s heart, "Aren''t the two of you on bad terms?" Ling Rui turned to glance at Xie Xiao. "Who told you that?" "The two of us grew up together!" Ling Rui said seriously. "But this guy was too obsessed with cleanliness. He wouldn''t let anyone get close to him." Ling Rui sniffed. "Every time I wanted to get close to him, he would always keep me at a distance." Ling Rui looked at Huo Xiao with disdain. "That''s why I am used to keeping a distance from him." Ling Rui smiled bitterly. "But it''s impossible that we are on bad terms!" Ling Rui looked at Xie Xiao seriously. "What a surprise." Xie Xiao could not help but sigh. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You. His gaze was indifferent as if he was thinking about something. Shen You did not look at him, but she instinctively felt that Huo Xiao had something to say to her. Ling Rui looked at Huo Xiao and turned to Shen You. "The three of us grew up together." Ling Rui said calmly as if he was recalling something. "It was great back then. We could play together every day. We had so much fun," Ling Rui said with a smile. "I remember that Huo Xiao wasn''t as cool as he is now!" Ling Rui looked at Huo Xiao with disdain. "He even liked to cry!" Hearing that, Huo Xiao immediately getsured to stop Ling Rui. Ling Rui pushed Huo Xiao''s hand away. "Hey, let me talk! It''s really been a long time since I had someone to talk to." Hearing that, Huo Xiao sighed and walked to the sofa at the side. He wiped it gently and sat down. Seeing that, the corner of Ling Rui''s mouth curled up. "Back then, Wu Qi especially liked to be by Huo Xiao''s side." "Although Huo Xiao always despised her, she still liked Huo Xiao very much." Ling Rui said and sighed. "Of course I couldn''t stand it! Why does everyone like Huo Xiao only?" Ling Rui''s tone was a little childish. "That''s why I always deliberately ruin Huo Xiao and Wu Qi''s chances of being alone together," Ling Rui said with a helpless expression. "After a long time, I seem to have gotten used to this way of getting along." Ling Rui''s eyes drooped slightly as he looked at his hands that were stuck with needles. "At that time, I thought that we would go on this way together forever," Ling Rui said in a deep voice. "But who knows that guy would move to another city?" Ling Rui said with dissatisfaction in his tone. "Without the influence of the Huo family, Wu Qi and I lived in the neighboring city. We only had the opportunity to transfer to the new school recently," Ling Rui said as he looked at Huo Xiao with a bitter gaze. "It''s because we heard that that guy had recovered from his serious mysophobia!" Ling Rui could not help but gnash his teeth. "Back then, we put in tremendous effort to help treat his mysophobia!" Ling Rui said indignantly. Shen You suddenly recalled the scene of herself "treating" Huo Xiao''s mysophobia. Looking at Ling Rui''s expression again, Shen You suddenly felt sympathy for Huo Xiao who was forced to treat his mysophobia back then. She glanced at Huo Xiao, and true enough, Huo Xiao closed his eyes, as if he could not bear to look back at the past. Ling Rui did not notice Huo Xiao''s expression, and said to himself, "It was not until I came here that I found out this guy''s mysophobia was treated by you!" Ling Rui looked at Shen You with a strange expression. "I don''t know how you did it!" "So, I have been secretly observing you!" Ling Rui continued. Shen You could not help but twitch her lips. Secretly observing? How could that kind of sinister and terrifying look be called secretly observing? Xie Xiao looked at Shen You with some sympathy. She also deeply felt that Ling Rui''s observation seemed to be a little excessive. Ling Rui did not realize his problem and continued, "However, you should never, never snatch Huo Xiao away!" "You have no idea how sad Wu Qi is!" Ling Rui muttered. Shen You finally could not hold it in anymore and asked the question in her heart, "Don''t you like Wu Qi too?" Ling Rui looked up at Shen You with eyes full of honesty, "But she doesn''t like me!" Shen You was speechless to this response. "Since you like her, why don''t you fight for it?" Huo Xiao finally opened his eyes slowly and looked at Ling Rui. Ling Rui''s expression changed, again and again. After a long while, Ling Rui said slowly, "I don''t know when I will die...." Chapter 129 - Did He Confess? Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other''s eyes. Ling Rui told his story for more than half an hour as if he was afraid that if he suddenly left, others would forget his story. He gradually became tired and leaned on the hospital bed, slowly falling asleep. Huo Xiao sighed, walked forward, and helped Ling Rui lie down on the bed to sleep. Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at Huo Xiao carefully taking care of Ling Rui with a surprised expression on their faces. After making sure that Ling Rui had slept soundly, Huo Xiao waved at Shen You and Xie Xiao. The three of them walked out of the ward. Huo Xiao first went to the nurses'' station before walking up to Shen You and Xie Xiao. "Let''s go first! I''ve already informed the nurses to notify me if Ling Rui has anything!" Huo Xiao said as he stared at Shen You. Naturally, Xie Xiao also noticed Huo Xiao''s eye expression. She blinked her eyes and then said to Shen You, "Oh yes, I''m going to that..." "That yoga studio!" Xie Xiao said as she pressed one hand on Shen You''s. "You guys go back first. I''m leaving now!" Without waiting for Shen You''s reply, Xie Xiao had already rushed out in a few steps and disappeared at the turn of the corridor in an instant. Shen You reached out to grab Xie Xiao, but it was already too late. Shen You slowly put her hand down and sighed helplessly. "Why are you running so fast?" Huo Xiao glanced at Shen You and said, "Let''s talk, okay?" Shen You did not reject this time and nodded. The two of them walked to the small park outside the hospital and found a bench to sit on. Huo Xiao thought for a moment and said to Shen You, "About my engagement to Wu Qi..." Shen You smiled at Huo Xiao. "It''s understandable. Didn''t I almost get engaged to Zhao Nan as well?" Hearing Shen You''s words, Huo Xiao''s expression changed. After a moment, he slowly said, "You... don''t have anything to ask?" Shen You shook her head. "No." Hearing Shen You''s resolute answer, Huo Xiao did not know whether he should be happy or angry. The happy thing was that perhaps Shen You believed in him! But the angry part was that he was about to get engaged, and Shen You was indifferent! Huo Xiao''s facial expression was struggling. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he did not know how to say it. Shen You turned to look at Huo Xiao. "Ling Rui said just now that Wu Qi likes you." "That''s..." Huo Xiao wanted to explain, but was stopped by Shen You. "But just like what Ling Rui also said, you don''t like Wu Qi, right?" Shen You asked tentatively. Huo Xiao''s eyes instantly lit up. He looked at Shen You seriously. "Yes! I don''t like her!" Shen You turned her head and looked at the rockery in front of her. She didn''t know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She used to be afraid to ask Huo Xiao this question. At that time, she was not sure why she asked this question. Perhaps, Ling Rui''s confession today had given her more courage. After being reborn for so long, for the first time, Shen You had more expectations. She used to be so afraid of getting close to another person, afraid of being hurt again. But now, perhaps, she could try again! Huo Xiao anxiously waited for Shen You''s reaction. Shen You could feel Huo Xiao''s anxious heartbeat. Finally, Shen You slowly stood up and turned her back to Huo Xiao. "That''s good!" After Shen You said that she walked away. Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment before he quickly chased after her. The two of them did not say anything else. Instead, they quietly walked back to the coffee shop. Shen You pushed the door open and walked into the coffee shop. She lowered her head and walked into the kitchen. Xie Xiao, who came back first, looked at their expressions, but she could not tell what was going on. She rushed into the kitchen and ran to Shen You''s side. "How was it?" "What do you mean?" Shen You pretended to be confused and asked. She continued to busy herself with her matters. "Did Huo Xiao confess?" Xie Xiao asked as if it was a matter of course. "Why would he confess?" Shen You wanted to laugh in her heart, but she suppressed it and asked back. Xie Xiao frowned and looked at Shen You in disbelief. "That''s impossible! Ling Rui''s words have already clearly explained the situation. There''s no reason for Huo Xiao not to open his mouth!" The more Xie Xiao thought about it, the more she felt that the development of this matter was different from what she had expected. In a typical romance novel, at this stage, the male and female protagonists should have developed to the point where they would resolve the misunderstanding, then happily confess to each other and smoothly step into the marriage hall! Chapter 130 - Shen You, I Want To Talk To You Seeing the distressed look on Xie Xiao''s face, Shen You''s mood immediately livened up. "Can I make a new flavor cupcake for you to try?" Shen You waved the small shovel in front of Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao nodded subconsciously. "Okay." With a smile on her face, Shen You walked past Xie Xiao. Xia Xiao finally reacted. "Didn''t you mention cupcake just now?" Shen You turned around and smiled at Xie Xiao. "No matter what it is, whether you asked or you didn''t, you said or you didn''t, there will be an outcome someday." Xie Xiao mumbled Shen You''s words and couldn''t help but mutter, "Why is it so profound?" Xie Xiao walked to Shen You''s side and patted her on the shoulder. "I feel that what you just said was as if not said!" Shen You kept on smiling. She raised the tray in her hand and said, "Alright! Come and help! I can''t carry it on my own!" "Ah!" Xie Xiao immediately ran over to take over the things from Shen You''s hands. After preparing the small cakes, Shen You walked out of the kitchen. Huo Xiao did not leave. Instead, he sat in his usual seat and waited. Shen You walked straight to Huo Xiao and sat down in the seat opposite him. "Are you waiting for me?" Shen You asked. She already had the answer in her heart. "Yes! About what I have just told you..." Huo Xiao looked at Shen You with some trepidation. Shen You was about to say something when suddenly, there was another person beside her. Wu Qi stood beside Shen You. "Shen You, I have something to talk to you." Shen You looked at Wu Qi in astonishment. She muttered softly, "Why were there so many people who wanted to talk to me recently?" Before Shen You could answer, Xie Xiao had already rushed over. "Why are you looking for Shen You? If you have something to say, you can talk to Huo Xiao." Huo Xiao looked at Xie Xiao helplessly. He was dumbfounded. Huo Xiao stood up and asked Wu Qi, "What do you want to say? Why don''t you say it here?" Wu Qi''s brows were tightly knitted together. Obviously, there were some things that she did not want Huo Xiao to hear. Shen You naturally saw through Wu Qi''s thoughts, but she did not want to talk too much with Wu Qi. Wu Qi looked at Shen You and only spoke after a long while, "I''m getting engaged to Huo Xiao. The date has already been finalized." Shen You glanced at Huo Xiao and nodded. "Oh!" Seeing Shen You not having any reaction, Wu Qi''s brows furrowed even more. "Don''t you have anything to say to me?" Shen You tilted her head and looked at Wu Qi in confusion. "Is there anything I need to say to you?" "Don''t you care who Huo Xiao is engaged to?" Wu Qi asked again, with her voice getting higher. Shen You shook her head. "Do I need to care? Even if it''s marriage, it''s still his freedom, isn''t it?" When Huo Xiao heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. It was obvious that he did not like Shen You''s answer. Shen You stood up and walked out of her seat, facing Wu Qi. "At the moment, Huo Xiao and I are just classmates. In the future, any relationship we develop will be within the scope of the law." "He has the right to make his own choice. No one can influence his choice," Shen You said as she glanced at Huo Xiao. "Neither you nor I can." Shen You said to Huo Xiao, "If you want to say something, let''s talk about it another day! I''m tired. I''ll go back and rest first." After Shen You said that she left without looking back. Wu Qi stood where she was and glared at Shen You''s departing figure with resentment and anger. Huo Xiao sighed and walked past Wu Qi, preparing to leave. Wu Qi looked at Huo Xiao''s departing figure and called out, "Huo Xiao!" Huo Xiao did not look back and left in big strides. Xie Xiao saw Wu Qi standing at where she was, shrugged, and left as well. Wu Qi just stood there quietly. After a long time, she walked out of the coffee shop. Wu Qi walked on the street and looked at the street that she was still unfamiliar with. She suddenly doubted if her move of following Huo Xiao to this city was right or wrong? Just as she was confused, her phone suddenly rang. "Who is it?" Wu Qi asked in an unfriendly tone. "Wu Qi?" The other party''s voice sounded soft. "Yes! Who are you?" Wu Qi asked again. "Shen Jiao." The soft voice came from the receiver again. Wu Qi looked at the phone in surprise. "Why are you calling me?" Laughter came from the receiver. "I want to work with you." "Work with you?" Wu Qi repeated Shen Jiao''s words, feeling strange. "Yes! It''s because we have a common enemy!" Shen Jiao''s voice sounded somewhat hateful. Wu Qi stood where she was and said after a moment, "Okay! Let''s meet and talk!" Chapter 131 - Common Enemy Ever since Shen You visited Ling Rui, she realized that he was completely different from the person she had in her impression. When she first met Ling Rui, she felt that he was a gloomy person. Compared to Wu Qi''s proactive and passionate personality, Ling Rui was like a person who had just crawled out of the underground. When she recalled the things about Ling Rui in her previous life, Shen You felt that Ling Rui was simply a devil with a dark heart. However, ever since she heard the things about Ling Rui when she was in the hospital and knew the secrets behind him, Shen You''s view had completely changed! Ling Rui was indeed a silly child who was living in an unhappy environment but striving hard to make himself look very happy! All his feelings were suppressed in his heart, and on the surface, he always looked cold. This had made him look gloomy and terrifying. He was infatuated and loyal, but he did not persist in hurting others for his selfish desires. On the contrary, he wanted to do everything for the person he liked. This was something that Shen You felt inexplicably familiar with. Especially this time, Shen You also obtained luck value from Ling Rui. This was indeed a different feeling for her. However, there was one thing that Shen You was not sure about. It was not that Ling Rui''s parents were dead. How could his relatives plan for his life and death? These people were over ambitions! Shen You really could not recall any other memories of Ling Rui from her previous life. Otherwise, she might have been able to obtain more information. Shen You sat at the table flipping through a book. In the notebook were the people and things in her memories. Shen You would occasionally pick up the notebook and take a look, connecting the things in her memories with the people in reality. And she realized that many things in her previous life seemed to have changed in this life. Shen You didn''t know why. Could it be related to her choice? But there were many things that she didn''t participate in... How did this difference come about? While Shen You was still feeling confused, something was beginning to take place quietly. Shen Jiao was sitting alone in the newly opened cafe, slowly sipping her coffee. Her gaze swept in the direction of the door from time to time as if she was waiting for someone. Wu Qi looked up at the name of the shop in front of the door. After confirming that this was the place, she pushed the door open and walked in. She stood at the door and glanced at the customers in the shop. Finally, she found the person she was looking for on the seat by the window. Wu Qi walked over and stood in front of Shen Jiao. "You''re looking for me?" Shen Jiao slowly put down the coffee cup in her hand and gestured to Wu Qi with her hand. "Sit down!" Wu Qi''s brows were tightly knitted together. After a moment of hesitation, she sat down opposite Shen Jiao. Wu Qi did not have a good impression of Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao gave her the feeling that she was always full of schemes and made people uncomfortable. However, this time, Shen Jiao took the initiative to contact her and said that she had a way to deal with Shen You. This was a great piece of good news for Wu Qi. She had tried to find trouble with Shen You several times. However, Shen You was either having someone protecting her, or her passive attitude would always make it impossible for her to do anything to her. Now that Shen Jiao took the initiative to say that she had a way to deal with Shen You, it was naturally the best! Wu Qi had just sat down when she asked anxiously, "You said that you had a way..." Before Wu Qi could finish her sentence, Shen Jiao had already reached out her hand to the waiter beside her and said, "Waiter!" Wu Qi''s was interrupted. She looked a little upset but she held it back. The waiter walked over and asked, "Miss, what would you like to order?" Shen Jiao said to the waiter, "Get her a set of limited snacks." Just as Wu Qi was about to decline, Shen Jiao said, "And a cup of coffee, thank you!" The waiter confirmed the order and left. Wu Qi stared at Shen Jiao and said, "I don''t want to eat any snacks or drink coffee!" Shen Jiao curled her lips and said, "Don''t be so impatient." Wu Qi rolled her eyes and said, "I don''t have time to waste with you!" "Besides, I''m not your friend. I''m not even familiar with you!" Wu Qi emphasized again. "But we have a common enemy, don''t we?" Shen Jiao asked, smiling. Wu Qi was immediately silenced by Shen Jiao''s question. Seeing that Wu Qi was silent, Shen Jiao''s smile deepened. "The limited snacks here are not bad.. It''s comparable to that coffee shop." Chapter 132 - Lost To Shen You Wu Qi sat on the sofa expressionlessly, her eyes fixed on Shen Jiao''s face. It was not until the waiter delivered the limited snacks and coffee that Wu Qi finally opened her mouth again. "What''s the grudge between you and Shen You?" Wu Qi looked at Shen Jiao, feeling strange. "I heard that both of you are the daughters of the Shen family, but obviously, your status in the Shen family is higher than hers," Wu Qi said what she knew. "If you say that she stole your man, that would be even more strange." Wu Qi narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Jiao. "It was Shen You who was originally engaged to Zhao Nan, wasn''t it?" Wu Qi asked again. Hearing Wu Qi''s questions, Shen Jiao''s expression changed, but she was not in a hurry to speak. Wu Qi kept staring at Shen Jiao, trying to see something from her expression. However, to her disappointment, Shen Jiao still had a faint smile on her face. The two of them were speechless for a moment, and Wu Qi continued to eat her snacks. After a long while, Shen Jiao opened her mouth again, "How is it? Good?" "Why did you call me here?" Wu Qi could not keep her cool any longer. Shen Jiao shook her head and smiled, "You definitely can''t beat Shen You this way." Wu Qi sneered, "You can win?" Shen Jiao was about to say something when Wu Qi raised her hand and stopped Shen Jiao, "Don''t tell me you can. If you could, you wouldn''t be helpless against her now!" Shen Jiao secretly gritted her teeth and stared at Wu Qi. After a moment, she heaved a sigh of relief, "You''re right! I lost this round!" "But that doesn''t mean that Shen You will always win!" Shen Jiao raised her chin proudly. "You want to use me?" Wu Qi did not doubt the purpose of Shen Jiao calling her out. Shen Jiao did not intend to beat around the bush anymore. She nodded and said, "Yes! You''re now the best weapon to deal with Shen You!" "What do you want to do?" Wu Qi did not want to waste time and asked directly. "Use your engagement with Huo Xiao!" Shen Jiao shared her thoughts. However, just as Shen Jiao opened her mouth, Wu Qi interrupted, "She doesn''t care!" Shen Jiao frowned at Wu Qi, "What did you say?" "I went to look for Shen You! She doesn''t care about the engagement between Huo Xiao and me at all!" Wu Qi told her about what happened in the coffee shop. Shen Jiao thought for a moment and said, "No! It''s not that she doesn''t care!" "What do you mean?" Wu Qi was immediately interested. "She doesn''t want to and can''t let herself care!" Shen Jiao said firmly. Wu Qi didn''t understand Shen Jiao''s words and only looked at her blankly. Shen Jiao''s lips curled into a smile. "I''ve read her diary." "She wrote that the more afraid she is of losing something, the faster it will disappear..." Shen Jiao thought about the contents of the diary and her lips curled into a smile. "So, if she doesn''t want to care about it, then she won''t be afraid of losing it... Do you understand what I''m saying?" Shen Jiao said as she stared at Wu Qi. Wu Qi nodded and said, "But even if she cares, if she doesn''t show it, there''s nothing we can do!" Shen Jiao raised the cup to her lips and said, "I''ll make her show it herself!" Wu Qi looked at Shen Jiao''s expression and felt that she was planning something terrible. Shen Jiao''s eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness. The last time, Shen You left a note for Shen Jiao at home. It was the part that hurt the most in her heart. She did not expect that other than herself, someone else would find out about this matter! This was Shen Jiao''s pain for the rest of her life. She must make the people who knew about this disappear from this world! Wu Qi looked at Shen Jiao''s scary expression and unconsciously raised the cup in front of her, and started drinking. Both women had their respective thoughts, but they were also planning the same big thing! Shen You didn''t know that Shen Jiao was trying to deal with her. She was thinking about some strange things recently. Last time, when she was walking on the street, someone struck up a conversation with her. This was something that had never happened in her past life and this life! To Shen You, she was very clear about her looks. Although she could be considered delicate and pretty, because she lived in the countryside all year round, her complexion was a little darker and redder. It was very different from the fair and tender skin of those young ladies. And the mark on her forehead made her become an "ugly woman" to many people! Shen You didn''t know what had happened. She seemed to have gradually become a "beauty" in everyone''s eyes? "Do you think it''s strange?" The system''s voice suddenly sounded. "What did you do?" Shen You asked again. "No! You made the choice yourself.. Have you forgotten?" The system couldn''t help but remind her. Chapter 133 - Not To Be Tied Down Shen You carefully recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have exchanged for a special privilege that had a beauty function. However, because Shen You had never seen the actual effect of this beauty function, she had long forgotten about it. She didn''t expect that there would be an incredible effect these days! "You''re saying that this was exchanged with luck value?" Shen You asked in disbelief. "How is it? Not bad, right? Have you realized my usefulness now?" The system sounded very excited. Shen You frowned slightly as if she was seriously thinking about something. "What? You don''t like the way you look now?" The system could not help but ask. Shen You shook her head. "No! I just think that I will gradually become someone else!" "How can that be!" The system retorted loudly. "Your face can''t reach the level of plastic surgery!" The system evaluated seriously. "This beauty effect is only to help you highlight your strengths and weaken your weaknesses," the system explained honestly. "As for the special features on your body, they won''t change at all!" The system reassured. Shen You finally felt more at ease. "If that''s the case..." Shen You suddenly chuckled, "The effect is quite good!" Seeing that Shen You was very happy, the system began to entice her, "Or do you want to exchange for some other benefits?" Shen You immediately crossed her hands in front of her chest, "Don''t entice me! I won''t fall for it!" "How can you say that?" The system asked unhappily. "I''m helping you become better!" "Thank you for your good intentions!" Shen You couldn''t help but snort. Seeing that the persuasion was unsuccessful, the system disappeared without a word. Shen You called out to the system in her heart for a long time, but he didn''t give any response. Shen You sat by the bed and patted the bed dejectedly. "This d*mn system, I can''t see it or touch it, it''s too worrying!" Hearing Shen You''s words, the system suddenly jumped out again, "Dear, you can exchange for the system''s physical mode!" Hearing that, Shen You''s eyes lit up, "Really?" "Of course!" The system said laughingly. "How do I exchange for it?" Shen You immediately asked. "Dear, you still lack 9,999 luck value!" The system said again. This time, Shen You rolled her eyes, "Are you kidding?" The system sounded a little annoying, "How could I! I said it very sincerely." Shen You laughed, "You better be sincere! 9,999 luck value, how long do I have to save it!" The system gave another answer, "You just need to gather 10 luck value beads!" Shen You lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling aimlessly, "Why don''t you just say that this model is not suitable for me!" "As long as you work hard, you will succeed in seeing me!" The system said again. "No! I don''t want to!" Shen you rejected. The system sounded like it was feeling wronged, "I am looking forward to seeing you! I have been looking forward to seeing you for months!" Shen You did not even bother to lift her eyelids. "Forget it! You''re not important!" The system sounded like it was feeling wronged again. "Then who''s important? Huo Xiao?" "Why did you mention him?" Shen You opened her eyes in dissatisfaction. "How exactly do you plan to deal with your relationship with Huo Xiao?" The system could not help but gossip. Shen You thought about it seriously and said, "I don''t want to be bound by any man in my life! Not even if that person is Huo Xiao!" "How do you know that he will be the one who binds you?" The system asked, "Perhaps he is the most important driving force for you?" Shen You shook her head, "Lust for man will confuse people! It will delay things!" "What''s so important that you can''t accommodate a man?" The system''s voice was full of questions. "I want to earn money! I want to work! I want to live well!" Shen You shared her ultimate goal. The system suddenly sneered, "Everyone has this wish!" Shen You narrowed her eyes, "Yes! It''s such a trivial wish, but it''s out of my reach!" When the system heard Shen You''s words, it couldn''t help but sigh, "This doesn''t sound like something you would say!" Shen You smiled and said, "What do you mean by it doesn''t sound like? It''s like drinking, you would know the difference between hot and cold!" "I don''t want to be tied down by anyone anymore...." Shen You said slowly, "Even if that man is very outstanding!" Chapter 134 - Wu Qi Broke Off The Engagement Shen You had just made a bold statement, and the next day, she was framed by that outstanding man. Shen You came to the school and when she was about to take out the things from her bag, her vision suddenly went dark and her arm was grabbed by someone. Before Shen You could see the person who grabbed her, she was pulled up from the chair by a strong force. Shen You stumbled as she was dragged out of the classroom, and there were cheers in the surroundings. When she finally settled in and looked at the person who was pulling her... It was Huo Xiao! They ran straight to the stairs and Shen You suddenly pulled Huo Xiao hard. This time, Huo Xiao staggered to stop and turned to look at Shen You. "What''s wrong with you? Are you pulling me out for a morning run early in the morning?" Shen You asked Huo Xiao, panting. Huo Xiao, on the other hand, looked excited. "I... I want to tell you..." Shen You looked at Huo Xiao''s slightly flushed face and felt that what he was about to say would probably be a big surprise to her. As expected, Huo Xiao blurted out the next sentence, "Wu Qi has proposed to break off the engagement!" Shen You was stunned for a moment, thinking that she did not hear him clearly. "Ah? What did you say just now?" "I said, Wu Qi has proposed to break off the engagement." Huo Xiao''s face was full of smiles, unlike a person who had just ''broken off the engagement''. Shen You was a little confused for a moment. "Why? Doesn''t she want to get engaged with you? There''s no reason for that!" Huo Xiao, who had always been calm, showed a nonchalant expression. "Why do you care about that?" Shen You had a feeling that Huo Xiao was about to say something earth-shattering. She immediately stepped forward and covered Huo Xiao''s mouth. "Wait!" Shen You said, and her eyes were full of warning. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You as if he did not understand why Shen You would stop him. Shen You did not let go of her hand. Instead, she lowered her head. "Wait, let me think. Something is not right." Huo Xiao impatiently took off Shen You''s hand. "What is not right?" Shen You shook her head. "I have a feeling that something is not right! Wu Qi will not let you off so easily." Huo Xiao did not care. "No matter what, I am free now!" "We can..." Huo Xiao continued. "No! We can''t!" Shen You rejected without hesitation. Huo Xiao''s brows were tightly knitted together as he looked at Shen You. "Why?" "Let me think about it..." Shen You looked at Huo Xiao seriously and said. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and the expression on his face gradually changed. Shen You knew that her repeated rejection had hurt Huo Xiao, but this was really not normal. Based on her understanding of Wu Qi, she was not someone who would give up easily! Shen You felt like a storm was brewing when Wu Qi suddenly proposed to break off the engagement! Huo Xiao stared at Shen You for a long time before saying, "I''ve already told my parents about you!" Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in shock. "What did you say just now? I''m a little deaf, I didn''t hear it!" Hearing Huo Xiao''s words, Shen You almost fainted. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and said seriously, "My parents are also very curious about how the girl who cured my mysophobia and whom I don''t resist looks like." Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. "Don''t joke around! This joke is not funny!" Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s arms with both hands. "Don''t you believe me?" Shen You was stunned for a moment before she sighed heavily. "Forget it! Let''s just take it one step at a time!" "Then you are..."Huo Xiao''s eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at Shen You. Shen You raised her hand. "Don''t misunderstand! I..." Zhu Ge suddenly waved at Shen You from afar. "Idol! Come here for a moment!" Shen You glanced at Zhu Ge before turning to Huo Xiao. "If there''s anything, let''s talk at the coffee shop." After saying that, Shen You walked past Huo Xiao and walked toward Zhu Ge. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You''s back and sighed. Shen You walked to Zhu Ge. "What''s the matter?" Zhu Ge gave Shen You an enigmatic smile, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "I saved you from big trouble!" After saying that, he stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Shen You with a half-smile. Shen You looked up at Zhu Ge with a strange expression on her face. "Why are you helping me?" Zhu Ge grinned but didn''t say anything. He walked to Shen You''s side, turned around, and put his arm around Shen You''s shoulder. "Let''s go! We''re going back!" Chapter 135 - Consult Ling Rui Shen You did not turn back to look at Huo Xiao. Zhu Ge brought her all the way back to the classroom. A question kept spinning in her mind: why did Wu Qi break off the engagement? She could not figure it out... Shen You was in deep thought the whole day. Huo Xiao sat next to her and looked at her from time to time. However, he did not try to communicate with her. When it was time to leave school, Shen You quickly got up, picked up her backpack, and rushed out of the classroom. She decided to look for Ling Rui. Perhaps he knew the reason why Wu Qi broke off the engagement! Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s back as she ran away. Some emotions were flashing in his eyes. When she arrived at the hospital, Ling Rui had just finished the dinner prepared by the hospital. Looking at the gloomy expression on Ling Rui''s face, Shen You suddenly felt a little funny. "Is the food in the hospital that bad?" Shen You became curious. "Didn''t you stay for a month before? Didn''t you feel anything?" Ling Rui snorted, full of displeasure. "I''m sorry! I had heart-warming meals!" Shen You had a proud expression. Seeing this, Ling Rui''s face was full of indignation. "You''re not kind!" "You didn''t bring me any delicious food, and now you''re making sarcastic remarks!" Ling Rui''s expression became a little childish. Looking at Ling Rui''s appearance, Shen You suddenly felt that the previously cold Ling Rui was just his disguise. Now, this guy who didn''t seem to have any bad intentions was the real Ling Rui. Shen You took out a small box from her small bag. "Hey! Don''t say that I''m not good enough!" "Although I didn''t make it myself, I bought it from the famous cake shop on the way here!" Shen You opened the small box and handed the cupcake to Ling Rui. Ling Rui''s eyes lit up when he saw the cake. "I just asked the doctor. You can eat this cake, but you can only eat half of it!" Shen You emphasized the doctor''s instructions seriously. Although Ling Rui was a little reluctant, it was better than nothing. He picked up the small spoon that came with it, scooped up a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing Ling Rui eating heartily, Shen You was not in a hurry. She sat down on the sofa at the side. After taking a few mouthfuls, then only Ling Rui remembered that Shen You was still around. "You didn''t come today just to give me a cake, right?" Ling Rui looked at Shen You with distrust. Shen You crossed her arms in front of her chest and said seriously, "Of course not!" "Tell me! Why are here?" Ling Rui put down the spoon and stared at Shen You. Shen You pouted and said, "Do you know that Wu Qi broke off the engagement?" "Broke off the engagement? Why? That''s impossible!" Ling Rui cried out in surprise, and his face was full of disbelief. Shen You shrugged. "It looks like you don''t know either." "Where did you hear the news from? That''s impossible!" Ling Rui said firmly. Shen You didn''t hide it and said, "Huo Xiao told me himself!" Ling Rui''s expression became even stranger. "Could it be that Huo Xiao lied to you?" "Do you think so?" Shen You asked back. Ling Rui lowered his head slightly. "No!" "That''s why I wanted to ask you if you know the reason why Wu Qi broke off the engagement." Shen You sighed and said. "I have a feeling that she won''t give up easily, especially Huo Xiao!" Shen You voiced her thoughts. Ling Rui nodded and said, "You''re right!" "Based on my understanding of her, something must have happened to her..." Ling Rui clasped his hands together as if he was worried about Wu Qi. Shen You looked at Ling Rui and thought for a moment before asking, "Could it be that something happened to her family?" Ling Rui immediately shook his head and said, "No! If something happened to her family, Huo Xiao and I would know about it immediately." "If it really happened, Huo Xiao would not agree to break off the engagement!" Ling Rui emphasized again. Shen You also understood this point. Huo Xiao was not someone who would add insult to injury. If there was a problem with Wu Qi''s family and she had no choice but to break off the engagement... Then Huo Xiao would also think of ways to help Wu Qi''s family solve the problem before breaking off the engagement! However, Shen You really couldn''t think of a reason why Wu Qi would take the initiative to break off the engagement! "Did Wu Qi go to school today?" Ling Rui asked again. "It''s because she didn''t come that I couldn''t even ask her myself!" Shen You said helplessly. Ling Rui immediately took out his phone and dialed Wu Qi''s number. However, after a long wait, Wu Qi didn''t pick up the phone. Ling Rui stared at the phone in a daze. Shen You was also lost in deep thought. Chapter 136 - Tell Huo Xiao The Secret? Shen You stayed in the hospital until nearly 8 o''clock then only she rushed back to the coffee shop. Just as she entered the shop, she saw Huo Xiao standing up from the sofa seat. Shen You was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had invited Huo Xiao to the coffee shop to continue their conversation! Shen You walked to the bar counter and wanted to explain the situation to Xie Chen. Xie Chen looked up at Shen You. "Quickly talk to Huo Xiao! He''s been waiting for you for a long time!" Shen You hesitated. "Then the cupcake..." "Don''t worry! There aren''t many people today. We can treat them with other snacks," Xie Chen said as she stood up and put her hands on Shen You''s shoulders, turning her around. Shen You walked to Huo Xiao awkwardly. The two of them sat on opposite sides and did not talk for a long time. Xie Xiao brought two cups of coffee over to watch the show. When Xie Xiao placed the coffee on the table, she deliberately looked at the two of them from left to right, only to find them both expressionless. Xie Xiao frowned, held the tray in her arms, and took two steps back. She looked at the two of them again, shook her head, and turned to leave. Shen You quietly waited for Huo Xiao to speak. However, Huo Xiao only stared at Shen You and did not say a word for a long time. Finally, Shen You could not hold it in anymore. She stared at Huo Xiao and said, "I think you might have misunderstood me before." Shen You tried to explain, "I didn''t mean to ruin your relationship with Wu Qi..." When Huo Xiao heard this, he raised his head and said, "I have nothing to do with her anymore." "No, I mean..." Shen You frowned and scratched the back of her head, not knowing how to explain. "Do you dislike me?" Huo Xiao suddenly asked. "Ah?" Shen You''s expression became a little dull. "What did you say?" "I mean, do you dislike me because you think I''m sick?" Huo Xiao asked again. "You clearly said that you wanted to cling to me!" Huo Xiao questioned her. Shen You suddenly felt that this misunderstanding was really big. She thought about it and decided that it was better to explain from the starting point which was the simplest. "I did say that I wanted to cling to you." Shen You thought about it and said lightly, "That''s because I really needed you back then!" Huo Xiao frowned, even more, when he heard that. "So you don''t need me now?" Shen You was a little dejected in the face of Huo Xiao''s accusation. "I need you, but..." "But what?" Huo Xiao immediately asked. "But the way I need you is not the way you think!" Shen You answered seriously. Although what she had said seemed to have been unsaid, it was indeed the case! Huo Xiao was obviously dissatisfied with Shen You''s ambiguous answer. "I''ll give you one day to think it over." "I don''t want the situation to continue being so ambiguous!" Huo Xiao gave his ultimatum and stood up to leave. Shen You sat quietly on the spot and could not help but sigh. Xie Xiao sat next to Shen You and asked curiously, "Why did Huo Xiao leave in a huff?" "What did the two of you talk about?" Xie Xiao asked with anticipation. Shen You turned to look at Xie Xiao. She opened her mouth but did not say anything. Xie Chen walked over and pulled Xie Xiao up. "Leave Xiao You alone for a while." Xie Xiao wanted to say something, but Xie Chen pulled her away. Shen You looked at the two cups of untouched coffee in front of her and sighed. She stood up and picked up the cups. "Sister Chen, I want to go back and rest for a while," Shen You said weakly to Xie Chen. Xie Chen nodded and said, "Go quickly! You''re tired today!" Shen You acknowledged and walked to her room. When she returned to her room, Shen You lay on the bed. After a long while, she said faintly, "System..." "What''s the matter?" The system immediately replied. "Can I tell Huo Xiao about this?" Shen You asked. The system immediately shut up and did not reply. Shen You was struggling internally. She did not know if she could share this secret with Huo Xiao. If Huo Xiao knew why she was getting close to him, how would he react? After a long while, the system finally replied, "Do you want to tell him?" Shen You hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think it''s better not to tell him!" "Since you''ve already made the decision, just do as you wish.." The system''s voice sounded more encouraging. Chapter 137 - Huo Xiao Was Slapped Shen Jiao sat quietly in her room with a photo in her hand. She looked at the photo with a sneer at the corners of her mouth. Shen Jiao raised the photo and tore it into halves from the middle. The smile on her face did not change as she repeated the tearing in her hand. In the end, the photo in her hand had turned into pieces on the floor. Shen Jiao slowly stood up and walked to the mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror and gently stroked her face, "I am the only daughter of the Shen family!" "No one can stop me!" Shen Jiao said, her eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a vicious look. As Wu Qi had initiated to break off the engagement, Wu Qi''s parents rushed over from the neighboring city. However, Wu Qi had been hiding in her room the whole time. No matter what, she refused to tell her parents what had happened. The couple, who loved their daughter dearly, blamed Huo Xiao for everything. When the Wu couple arrived at the Huo family home, they asked the housekeeper to call Huo Xiao out. As the Wu couple had a good relationship with the Huo family, for a moment, the housekeeper had no idea what to do. Fortunately, Huo Xiao''s mother, Lin Shu, heard the commotion and came down from upstairs. When Lin Shu saw the Wu couple, she immediately greeted them. However, Wu Qi''s father yelled at Lin Shu angrily, "Does your family look down on our Wu Qi?" "What do you mean?" Lin Shu immediately put on a helpless expression. "I''m afraid that Wu Qi dislikes our Huo Xiao." Wu Qi''s mother hurriedly tugged at Wu Qi''s father''s sleeve to calm him down. Wu Qi''s father waved his hand and snorted in dissatisfaction. He stopped venting his anger. Wu Qi''s mother frowned. "We heard that Wu Qi and Huo Xiao broke off the engagement." Lin Shu gestured to the housekeeper, who quickly went back to prepare tea and snacks. Lin Shu led the Wu couple to the sofa and sat down. "It was very late last night. Wu Qi suddenly came and said that she wanted to break off the engagement with Huo Xiao." Lin Shu recalled the scene. "We did ask what had happened."Lin Shu sighed helplessly. "But she refused to tell us no matter what." "We have wanted to find some time to talk to you guys and see if there was something on the child''s mind." Lin Shu looked at the Wu couple. Wu Qi''s mother''s expression was a little ugly. "We did not hear her say anything!" Wu Qi''s father was even angrier. "She''s afraid that we''ll worry about her, so she definitely won''t tell us that she is feeling wronged!" "You mean that we''ve made Wu Qi feel wronged?" Lin Shu''s expression also became a little ugly. Wu Qi''s mother sighed and said, "That''s not what he meant." "It''s just that Wu Qi has liked Huo Xiao since she was young," Wu Qi''s mother said helplessly. "She won''t give up her engagement with Huo Xiao so easily." "Why don''t you go back and ask Wu Qi what''s going on first?" Lin Shu suggested. "If she''s willing to tell us, do we still need to come here and ask you!" Wu Qi''s father said fiercely. Lin Shu suddenly didn''t know what to say. The situation now was that it was impossible to communicate with the Wu couple at all. At this moment, Huo Xiao walked out of his room. He saw the Wu couple and went up to greet them. "Uncle Wu, Auntie Wu!" Wu Qi''s mother saw Huo Xiao and immediately went up. "Huo Xiao, Auntie has never begged you..." "I want to ask you to go and see Wu Qi and ask her what''s going on!" Wu Qi''s mother had a pleading expression on her face. Wu Qi''s father immediately agreed. "That''s right! If you go and ask her, definitely she will tell you!" Huo Xiao rejected without hesitation. "I won''t ask her! She made her own choice!" Hearing what Huo Xiao said, the Wu couple became even angrier. "If it weren''t for you..." Huo Xiao looked at the two of them indifferently and said, "She''s not a child anymore. She has her reasons for making her own choice." Huo Xiao said to Lin Shu, "Mom, I''m a little tired today. I''ll go back and rest." After saying that, Huo Xiao turned around and left. Lin Shu wanted to stop Huo Xiao, but Wu Qi''s mother had already rushed over. "Pa!" A slap landed on Huo Xiao''s face. Lin Shu watched in shock as Wu Qi''s mother gave Huo Xiao a hard slap. Huo Xiao stood where he was, his gaze fixed on Wu Qi''s mother''s face. Wu Qi''s mother also realized her impulsive behavior, but it was too late. Chapter 138 - Coaxing His Wife Huo Xiao stood where he was and looked at Wu Qi''s mother. Lin Shu walked quickly to her son and looked at Wu Qi''s mother. "We''ve been very polite to you, but you came to my house to beat my son?" Wu Qi''s mother wanted to explain, but Lin Shu refused to listen. "Housekeeper! Get them out!" Lin Shu shouted. The housekeeper immediately rushed in and was about to ''invite'' the Wu couple out of the living room. "No, I didn''t do it on purpose..." Wu Qi''s mother said hurriedly. Lin Shu raised her eyebrows and glared at the Wu couple. "Housekeeper! What are you waiting for!" "Madam Huo, you can''t do this!" Wu Qi''s father also walked forward and wanted to argue. The housekeeper didn''t want to be scolded again, so he quickly called out two servants and ''invited'' the Wu couple out. Lin Shu saw the couple leave and sat down on the sofa angrily. Huo Xiao saw his mother''s angry look and went forward to persuade her, "Mom, don''t be angry." Lin Shu widened her eyes and looked at Huo Xiao, "How dare they hit you!" "I rarely hit you!" Lin Shu looked at the trace of redness on Huo Xiao''s face and became even angrier, "They even came to my house to hit my son!" "Probably they were impulsive at that moment," Huo Xiao quickly persuaded. Lin Shu did not care and continued to sit on the spot in a huff. Lin Shu had always been a hot-tempered person. All these years, because of Huo Xiao''s illness, she felt even more heartache for him. Now that someone dared to hit Huo Xiao in front of her, if not for her upbringing, Lin Shu would have torn the person apart. Lin Shu sat on the sofa, breathing heavily. Seeing this, Huo Xiao knew that he could not persuade his mother no matter how. His eyes moved, and he decided to use his last resort. Huo Xiao waved at the housekeeper. The housekeeper immediately ran over. Huo Xiao whispered a few words into the housekeeper''s ear, and the housekeeper turned to run outside. Not long after, the sound of emergency brakes came from outside the door. Huo Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly took two steps back and looked at his mother, who was still angry and glanced at the door. Huo Sheng rushed in through the door. When he saw his son, he began to wink. Huo Xiao raised his chin towards Lin Shu. Huo Sheng immediately nodded and made an "okay" gesture at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao said to Lin Shu, "Mom, I still have something to do. I''ll go upstairs first!" Lin Shu''s face turned ugly when she heard Huo Xiao''s words. "Your mom is angry, and you''re going upstairs. You''re heartless!" Huo Xiao smiled at Lin Shu and ran upstairs. Lin Shu stood up and pouted as she watched Huo Xiao run away. Huo Sheng immediately rushed over to put out the fire. "My dear wife, who made you angry?" Huo Sheng ran to Lin Shu''s side and put his hands on Lin Shu''s shoulders, pulling her into his arms. Lin Shu crossed her arms and snorted. "Who else if not your precious son!" "This unfilial son! I''ll beat him up later!" Huo Sheng immediately raised the banner of revenge for his wife. "No!" Lin Shu immediately stopped him. "This child has been wronged today!" "What happened? Who dares to bully my son?" Huo Sheng immediately stood up for his son. As Huo Sheng spoke, he sat down on the sofa with Lin Shu. Lin Shu turned to look at Huo Sheng with a resentful expression. "It''s Wu Qi''s parents!" "The engagement was fine, but their daughter came to break it off herself!" Lin Shu got angrier the more she spoke. "In the end, the two of them came knocking on our door! And they dared to hit my son!" Lin Shu said, panting heavily. Huo Sheng quickly calmed Lin shu down and said, "Okay! I''ll go deal with them tomorrow!" Lin Shu narrowed her eyes when she heard Huo Shen agree so readily. She raised an eyebrow. "Tell me, how do you plan to deal with them tomorrow?" "Uh... this..." Huo Sheng was at a loss for words. He was merely trying to appease his wife. How could he go against his old friends just because of this? Now that Lin Shu had asked him back, Huo Sheng had nothing to say. "Hmph! I knew you were merely brushing me off!" Lin Shu''s eyes widened. Huo Sheng knew that he had offended his wife this time, so he immediately raised his hands in surrender. "Honey, I was wrong!" Lin Shu stared at Huo Sheng with an unperturbed expression. Huo Sheng just stood there and stared at Lin Shu. A moment later, with Lin Shu''s laughter, Huo Yi''s crisis was finally resolved. Chapter 139 - Did He Come To Look For You? Huo Xiao stood at the corner of the upstairs and looked at the way his parents were getting along. He could not help but smile. His mother had a fiery temper, but his father always had a way to calm her down quickly. Although the way his parents got along seemed a little childish, Huo Xiao knew that his parents had never really blushed since he was young. This was probably the happiest thing for Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao slowly turned around and left, sighing slightly. When would he be able to have such a life? Huo Xiao returned to his room and picked up an envelope. He had found it under Shen You''s desk a few days ago. He had wanted to return it to Shen You. But the relationship between the two of them had been awkward these days, Huo Xiao had forgotten about it. He took the envelope and looked at it. As the envelope was sealed, Huo Xiao did not dare to open it. Through the light, he could see that there was a card inside the envelope, and there seemed to be a letter. Huo Xiao did not know what was written inside, but he had a bad feeling about it. Huo Xiao stuffed the envelope back into the drawer in frustration, turned around, and threw himself on the bed. At the same time, Shen You sneezed so hard that she felt like her skull was about to be lifted. Xie Xiao stood at the side and looked at Shen You with disdain. "What''s wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?" "I don''t think so..." Shen You said with a thick nasal voice. "Stay away from me!" Xie Xiao hurriedly took two steps back. "I don''t want to be infected by you!" "Don''t do this to me!" Shen You laughed mischievously. She opened her arms and slowly walked towards Xie Xiao. "We''re good sisters!" "We''ll share the blessings, and we''ll share the colds!" After Shen You finished speaking, she acted as if she wanted to pounce on Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao shrieked and walked past the dining table. The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Xie Chen came out of the room. When she saw the two of them, she asked, "What are the two of you doing in the middle of the night?" When Shen You saw Xie Chen, she immediately straightened up and said, "Sister Chen, I was hungry and came out to look for something to eat. I happened to see Xiao Xiao here as well." "What do you want to eat? Can I make you some supper?" Xie Chen asked when she saw the two of them with bread in one hand and milk in the other. Shen You quickly asked, "Will it be too troublesome?" However, Xie Xiao directly shouted, "I want to eat instant noodles!" "Eating instant noodles in the middle of the night? You will fatten yourself to death!" Shen You ridiculed from the side. "What''s there to be afraid of! If you want to die, we''ll die together! Long live the high-calorie diet!" Xie Xiao shouted again. Shen You also raised her hands when she saw this. "Long live instant noodles!" Xie Chen looked at the two of them and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Go over there and sit for a while. It''ll be done soon." The two of them cheered again and sat at the dining table, waiting obediently. Xie Chen quickly cooked two bowls of instant noodles. Xie Xiao and Shen You obediently took their instant noodles and sat on the chairs to start eating. Xie Chen sat in the middle seat between the two of them and looked at the two of them from left to right. "Why do I feel like the two of you are like children who won''t grow up?" Xie Chen looked at the two of them and couldn''t help but sigh. "Especially Xie Xiao!" Xie Chen said as she stared at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao was stuffing a poached egg into her mouth. When she heard Xie Chen''s words, she quickly said, "With you here, why should I grow up!" Shen You was also eating instant noodles and mumbling, "Why should I grow up? It''s not good to grow up at all!" "It''s still the happiest to be a child!" Shen You said mumbling. "You talk as if you''ve been an adult before!" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and snorted. Shen You paused for a moment and said, "You''re right!" Xie Chen looked at the two who had finished all the instant noodles and sat on the seat, patting her stomach with a satisfied look... She shook her head and smiled. She got up and took the bowl and chopsticks to wash them. Shen You walked to Xie Chen''s side and wanted to help. "Go and rest!" Xie Chen did not let Shen You help out. Shen You glanced at Xie Xiao, who had already fallen asleep. She stood beside Xie Chen and asked in a low voice, "Sister Chen, did that person come to look for you?" Xie Chen washed the bowls in her hands and asked, "Who?" Shen You looked at Xie Chen and said, "That person who had no news after leaving the country." Xie Chen suddenly paused when she heard Shen You''s words. She turned to look at Shen You. "How did you know?" Shen You shrugged and said, "I heard." Xie Chen''s expression changed again and again. Then, she lowered her head and continued to wash the dishes. "No." Xie Chen washed the dishes hard.. It seemed that she wanted to use all her strength on the dishes. Chapter 140 - Psychological Problems Shen You returned to her room and recalled Xie Chen''s previous appearance in her mind. She did not look sad or angry, but more like she was helpless. Shen You did not know why that person did not come to find Xie Chen since he had returned. She had revealed the information about that person to Zhao Nan because she hoped that Zhao Nan would bring him back. She did not want to see the two lovers who loved each other splitting up. However, it seemed Shen You had thought it too simple. Ever since she heard that that person had returned, Zhao Nan had rarely appeared in school. Regarding that person''s matter, the Zhao family rarely mentioned it to the outside world. It seemed that it was taboo in the Zhao family. Even Zhu Ge, who had grown up with Zhao Nan, did not know everything about that person. Shen You knew it because she had investigated everything about Zhao Nan in her previous life. She wanted to use every detail to please Zhao Nan, and even more foolishly, she wanted to use that person''s matter to make Zhao Nan think highly of her. However, not only did Zhao Nan not thank her, but he even became hostile against her. Only then did Shen You know that everything about that person was untouchable to Zhao Nan! Shen You sighed and rolled over on the bed, "Lost in love has always been there since ancient times..." "Are you reminiscing about yourself?" The system''s voice suddenly sounded. "F*ck! You scared me!" Shen You suddenly jumped up from the bed. The system''s helpless voice sounded, "Don''t you remember my existence?!" "I didn''t call you, why did you jump out!" Shen You snorted unhappily. "It''s just that some people are trying to cut off their paths, so I came out to remind you." The system''s voice sounded cold. "Dear, your luck value is insufficient. If you need to continue serving, please replenish your luck value in time!" The system''s official version of the reminder appeared again. Shen You cried out in a low voice, "How can it be insufficient again!" The system''s voice sounded again, "This is because some people have been neglecting their jobs lately, and are doing some nonsense every day." "Don''t you think that you''ve been hiding from Huo Xiao a little too often lately?!" The system seemed to be enduring something. "Without this super value storage device, how much luck value do you think you have left to use?!" Finally, the system exploded. Shen You secretly shrunk her neck and said, "I''ve been busy recently!" "So busy that you don''t care about your life and death?" The system asked fiercely again, "Who has said that you want to live well?!" "Who has said that no matter what, as long as you can live!" The system continued to ask. Shen You felt that her head was buzzing. She subconsciously covered her ears, "Okay, okay! I got it!" The system snorted and then said, "Now you know what to do?" Shen You gritted her teeth and said, "I got it!" Early the following morning, Shen You sat by the bed and lowered her head helplessly. She thought that she would be strong and not have to depend on Huo Xiao anymore. In the end, she still had to go back to him. She did not know what Huo Xiao would think of her! The more Shen You thought about it, the more depressed she became. Why did she act tough? Just a moment ago, she had vowed to stay away from him, and now she was chasing after him... Shen You looked at herself in the mirror in the bathroom. "How did I end up in this situation?" Xie Xiao walked into the bathroom in a daze. In the mirror, he saw two huge dark circles on Shen You''s face. "What happened to you? Did you get beaten up?" Xie Xiao rubbed her eyes and asked. Shen You glanced at Xie Xiao and said, "Nothing! It''s my fault!" "What? Did you stay up late to see handsome guys?" Xie Xiao asked again. Shen You shook her head and walked out of the bathroom. "I''m going to prepare breakfast. I need to be full of energy today!" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s dazed expression. She didn''t seem to be full of energy at all. After entering the school, Shen You first went to the infirmary and found the teacher in the infirmary. The teacher was also a little surprised to see Shen You. "Are you not feeling well?" Shen You shook her head and said, "Teacher, I might have to trouble you for the next few days!" After Shen You said that she bowed to the teacher and turned around to leave. The teacher in the infirmary looked at Shen You''s back as she was leaving.. He frowned slightly and wrote in his work notes, "We need to strengthen the guidance of students'' psychological problems." Chapter 141 - Shen You Was Injured When Shen You arrived at the classroom, the first thing she saw was Huo Xiao''s seat. Huo Xiao was not in his seat. Shen You immediately slumped down and walked forward. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly tripped. She staggered and crashed onto the desk in front of her. Shen You was not prepared for this. This collision left a big hole in her head. Blood immediately flowed out. Xie Xiao was walking behind her. She was shocked by Shen You''s appearance and quickly rushed over. "Shen You, are you okay?" Shen You sat up from the ground and covered her forehead with one hand. Blood flowed out from between her fingers. Xie Xiao quickly helped Shen You up. "Go, let''s go to the infirmary!" Zhu Ge was carrying his school bag as he walked to the classroom. When he saw Shen You''s face covered in blood, he was shocked. "What happened?" He ran forward to check on Shen You''s injuries. "I fell and hurt my head," Shen You said while clenching her teeth. "How did it happen?" Zhu Ge cried out in surprise. Then, he handed his bag to Xie Xiao and carried Shen You. Shen You only felt that the world was spinning. It was as if the tofu pudding had been stirred in her mind. With Zhu Ge''s help, Shen You soon arrived at the infirmary. The teacher in the infirmary was stunned when he saw Shen You. "So soon?" "What do you mean by so soon?" Xie Xiao stood beside her and did not seem to hear her clearly. The teacher waved his hand and said, "Nothing! Put her over there. I''ll check her wound." Zhu Ge placed Shen You on the bed and took two steps back. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. The teacher went up to check on Shen You and asked, "How did you get injured?" "I tripped and hit my head on the desk," Shen you briefly explained. "Oh!" The teacher responded and treated the wound. "I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. Hitting your head is not a small matter." "Your luck is too bad!" The teacher could not help but mutter. Shen You was about to reject his suggestion. But after hearing the teacher''s words, she suddenly thought of something. She nodded and said, "Okay! I will go for a check-up as soon as possible." Xie Xiao quickly asked, "Do you need me to go with you?" Zhu Ge hung up the phone and walked forward. He said, "No need. Zhao Nan''s car happened to be outside. Let him send Shen You to the hospital!" "Zhao Nan came to school?" Xie Xiao turned her head and asked. Zhu Ge nodded and said, "He''s at the gate!" "Can you walk?" Zhu Ge looked at Shen You and asked, "Forget it! Let me carry you!" After Zhu Ge said that, he carried Shen You again. Zhu Ge carried Shen You all the way to the school gate. Zhao Nan was already waiting outside the car. "I''ll leave her to you!" Zhu Ge said to Zhao Nan. Zhao nan nodded and said, "You guys go back first! I''ll take care of her!" Shen You got into the car, and Zhao Nan naturally sat next to her. Shen You only felt that the world was spinning. It was like her brain being stirred in her mind. She beat her temples with her fist in confusion. Seeing this, Zhao Nan grabbed Shen You''s hand. "Stop beating! You might not get a concussion from the trip but by beating yourself up!" Shen You turned her head and glared at Zhao Nan. She didn''t say anything. Along the way, Shen You felt that there was a mouthful of air in her chest that kept rolling up. It wasn''t until she got out of the car and walked into the hospital that Shen You finally couldn''t control herself and vomited. She didn''t expect that what she vomited wasn''t anything but a mouthful of blood. This scared Zhao Nan so much that he quickly called the medical staff next to him to help send Shen You to the emergency room. Shen You looked at the ceiling of the hospital above her head, but she was roaring in her heart, "You unlucky shitty system! Can''t you give me more time!" At the beginning of her injury, Shen You didn''t link this incident to her lack of luck value. It wasn''t until the teacher in the infirmary mentioned ''bad luck'' that Shen You instantly understood the reason for the incident. As the voices in Shen You''s mind were too noisy, she couldn''t distinguish the voice of the system at all. Listening to the constant sounds of people and equipment around her, Shen You gradually fell into a coma. "How is it? Is she awake?"A soft voice sounded in Shen You''s ear. "Not yet..." Another voice replied immediately. "Why is this child so unlucky!" The inquiring voice could not help but sigh. In her chaotic consciousness, Shen You gradually heard the voice clearly and recognized that the owner of the voice was the Xie sisters. Chapter 142 - Huo Xiao Rushed Over Shen You lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Xie Xiao was non-stop nagging by her side. She had the feeling of speechlessly asking the heavens why she was lying here again? However, thinking about it, it seemed that the system had fulfilled its duty of reminding her. Listening to Xie Xiao''s nagging, four or five little birds were hovering in Shen You''s mind. Finally, the busy Xie Xiao realized Shen You was awake. "You''re finally awake!" Xie Xiao pounced over to Shen You. "You scared me to death!" Shen You was taken aback. She propped herself up and bumped her head directly on Xie Xiao''s head. The two of them saw sparks in their eyes and bounced to both sides. Xie Xiao rubbed her aching forehead and found the wound that Shen You had just bandaged was bleeding again. "Ah! Why is it bleeding again!" Xie Xiao quickly ran out to call the doctor to see what was happening. The doctor briefly examined the wound and said that it was due to an external force. Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. She almost grabbed Xia Xiao''s collar and shouted, "It was you!" After the doctor walked out, Shen You finally accepted her fate. She asked Xie Xiao, "Where''s my phone?" Xie Xiao took out Shen You''s phone from her bag and handed it to her. Shen You turned on the phone and looked at Huo Xiao''s phone number. She gritted her teeth and dialed the number. With her bad luck, only Huo Xiao could save her now! Shen You listened to the long wait on the phone, but no one picked up. She frowned slightly. She did not give up dialing the number. She called three times in a row, but no one picked up. Shen You slammed the phone on the bed fiercely. Xie Xiao stood at the side and looked at Shen You. After a long while, she said, "You called Huo Xiao? And he didn''t pick up?" Shen You''s expression became even uglier. She did not answer Xie Xiao''s question. "Maybe he didn''t hear!" Xie Xiao tried her best to find an explanation for Huo Xiao. Shen You did not respond. She just lay quietly on the bed and closed her eyes. Seeing this, Xie Xiao was about to say something when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door. Xie Xiao turned to look, only to see Huo Xiao rushing in. "Huo Xiao, why are you here?" Xie Xiao cried out in surprise. Shen You did not even lift her eyelids. She lay on the bed and did not make a sound. Huo Xiao said to Xie Xiao, "I heard Shen You has been hospitalized again, so I rushed here to check on her." Hearing Huo Xiao''s voice, Shen You opened her eyes immediately. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and could not help but smile. Xie Xiao looked at Huo Xiao and said, "You really rushed over here! You looked weary and worn out!" Huo Xiao grinned, feeling a little embarrassed. Shen You tilted her head slightly and looked at Huo Xiao. "Why didn''t you pick up my phone call?" "Ah? Phone?" Huo Xiao was stunned by the question and subconsciously dug into his pocket. "Ah! I forgot to bring it!" Xie Xiao held back her laughter and stood by the side, not saying another word. Huo Xiao walked to the side of Shen You''s bed and looked at Shen You, whose forehead was bandaged, "Why are you in the hospital again?" Shen You cursed in her heart, "It''s all because of you!" She said to Huo Xiao, "It''s probably because of bad luck!" It was only then that Shen You realized that the luck value of Huo Xiao did not pass to Shen You as usual. Shen You was shocked and thought to herself, "Is it because Huo Xiao''s luck value has lost its effect on me?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You with heartache and gently touched the wound on Shen You''s forehead with one hand. With this touch, Shen You felt the surging luck value surging into her once again. Shen You grabbed Huo Xiao''s hand and felt the endless flow of luck value. Huo Xiao was shocked by Shen You''s action. The two of them held each other''s hands and looked at each other. "Ahem!" Xie Xiao''s voice came from the side. The two of them were shocked and quickly let go of their hands. Xie Xiao smiled at Shen You and said, "Since Huo Xiao is here to take care of you, I''ll go back first. I''ll bring you some delicious food tonight!" Shen You nodded at Xie Xiao and said, "Thank you!" Xie Xiao waved his hand and said, "I won''t disturb you guys anymore! I''ll make a move first!" Huo Xiao and Shen You watched Xie Xiao leave. Huo Xiao was standing when he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed by Shen You again. Shen You held Huo Xiao''s hand tightly. Her almost infatuated look made Huo Xiao feel a little scared. He wanted to pull his hand back, but he was a little unwilling to do so. Huo Xiao sighed and pulled a chair to sit by the bed. After Shen You absorbed a lot of luck value in satisfaction, she finally reluctantly let go of Huo Xiao''s hand. Chapter 143 - Confession? Huo Xiao was a little unwilling to let go of Shen You''s hand. However, seeing Shen You seemed to be in better spirits, he felt more at ease. Shen You struggled to sit up, and Huo Xiao rushed forward to help her up. He touched her again, and luck value once again filled her. An idea suddenly crossed Shen You''s mind. Luck value could only be transmitted through physical contact? In other words, she no longer could rely on the fluctuation of Huo Xiao''s emotion? She had to have physical contact with him? Shen You''s brows were tightly knitted together. Every time she wanted to draw a clear line with Huo Xiao, something unexpected would happen. This time, even the method of obtaining luck value had changed! Seeing Shen You looked a little angry, Huo Xiao explained, "I didn''t mean to forget my phone. I was in a hurry just now..." Shen You looked at Huo Xiao''s anxious expression and suddenly felt that he was a little cute. She waved her hand at Huo Xiao and said, "It''s okay! It''s not a big deal!" "But, you still look angry." Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and was still a little nervous. Shen You shook her head. "It''s not because of you!" "Then who is it?" Huo Xiao asked subconsciously, his tone was suspicious. Shen You glanced at Huo Xiao and said, "It was because of myself! I could even stumble and get injured so badly while walking!" At this point, Huo Xiao suddenly looked at Shen You with a serious face. "I heard that you tripped and fell." "Did you see what you had tripped over?" Huo Xiao asked anxiously. Shen You only reacted after Huo Xiao asked, "You''re right! My bad luck is one thing, but the person who tripped me up is the real key!" Huo Xiao nodded heavily. "Think carefully, who had tripped you up!" Shen You lowered her head and tried hard to recall. But no matter how hard she recalled, the memory of that period was vague. After a long time, Shen You shook her head. "Forget it! Maybe I''ll remember it someday!" Huo Xiao reached out his hand and patted Shen You on the shoulder. "Don''t put too much pressure on yourself! Rest well!" Shen You nodded and said, "Why didn''t you come to school this morning?" Huo Xiao gritted his teeth and thought for a while and said, "Wu Qi''s parents came to my house to cause a ruckus yesterday." Shen You''s expression froze slightly when she heard Wu Qi''s name. She didn''t say anything and just quietly waited for Huo Xiao to continue. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You and said, "I''m no longer engaged to Wu Qi, so..." Huo Xiao swallowed hard and said, "Can you..." Shen You blinked and looked at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao felt that he had never been so nervous before. Huo Xiao thought for a moment and said again, "Can you be my..." "Idol!" A shout came from afar and Zhu Ge quickly walked into the ward. Seeing Huo Xiao standing there awkwardly and Shen You glaring at him, Zhu Ge blinked his eyes aggrievedly. "What''s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Zhu Ge walked to the other side of the bed and placed a big bag of things on the table beside Shen You''s bed. Shen You glanced at the heavy bag of things and asked, "What''s this?" "It''s the love and care from everyone." Zhu Ge curled his lips and said. "Our good class monitor said that you were hospitalized and asked everyone to show a little love," Zhu Ge said as he glanced at the bag of things. "So everyone raised money and bought 20 kg of apples for you so that you would be safe and sound." After Zhu Ge said that, he took out a big apple from the bag. "The guy who went to buy the apples said that the owner of the fruit stall thought that he was going to steal the business," Zhu Ge said as he walked out with the apple in his hand. "What are you doing?" Shen you asked as she looked at Zhu Ge''s back. "I''m going to wash the fruit!" Zhu Ge waved the apple in his hand and left without looking back. "You guys continue!" When Zhu Ge''s back disappeared, Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other awkwardly again. "Well, Just now I..." Huo Xiao tried hard to resume the atmosphere. Shen You was no longer in the mood. She turned to look at the bag of apples. "There are so many... Why don''t you bring some to Ling Rui?" Huo Xiao looked at the bag of apples and sighed silently. "Okay!" A great opportunity was simply wasted. Huo Xiao wanted to grab Zhu Ge and give him a good beating. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao''s depressed expression with a stifled smile.. She felt a little devil was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in her heart. Chapter 144 - Trained! When Zhu Ge returned to the ward, Huo Xiao had already left. Shen You sat on the bed and looked at Zhu Ge with a smile on her face. Zhu Ge looked at Shen You in surprise. "Why did he leave? Did I disturb you guys?" Shen You shook her head and said, "Are you looking for me for something?" Zhu Ge smiled and sat in front of Shen You''s bed. He handed the apple to Shen You. "Yes." "Speak!" Shen You picked up the apple and took a bite. Zhu Ge leaned back in his chair, his arms were hanging on the back of the chair. "Do you want to know who caused you to fall?" Shen You raised her eyebrows. "I don''t like to beat around the bush." Zhu Ge shrugged. "The most inconspicuous person in our class..." Shen You thought seriously and asked, "Who is it?" Zhu Ge rolled his eyes. "It''s Lu Xin!" "Who is Lu Xin?" Shen You frowned and thought hard. Zhu Ge could not stand it anymore and sit up straight. He stared straight at Shen You. "It''s that girl who is sitting next, next, next to you!" Shen You thought about it seriously. There seemed to be such a person. She kept her head down all day long. Her bangs were long and her eyes could not be seen. Shen You was even more confused. "Why did she trip me up?" Zhu Ge shook his head. "That I don''t know!" "But I heard that she has a very gloomy personality. Perhaps she has some kind of tendencies?" Zhu Ge guessed. Shen You thought for a while and said to Zhu Ge, "Can I trouble you?" Zhu Ge quickly nodded. "No problem! Go ahead!" Shen You pondered for a moment. "Help me investigate the background of this Lu Xin." "Okay!" Zhu Ge made a ''yes sir'' gesture and said, "I will fulfill my mission!" Shen You leaned against the bed and thought for a moment. "Also, what is her relationship with Shen Jiao!" Zhu Ge looked at Shen You in surprise. "How did she connect to Shen Jiao?" Shen You shook her head. "I don''t know, it''s intuition!" Zhu Ge did not refuse, "Okay! I''ll investigate in detail!" Shen You rubbed her forehead and suddenly thought of something. "Oh yes, was it Zhao Nan that sent me to the hospital?" "You have just thought of him!" Zhu Ge sighed. "If this person was dead, he would have become cold by now!" Shen You smiled. "I knocked my head and couldn''t remember for a while." "Where did he go?" Shen You looked around. Zhu Ge glanced at Shen You with disdain. "He left long ago! He said that something happened at home, and he was suddenly called to go back." Shen You lowered her head slightly as if she was thinking about something. "You don''t have to worry. It shouldn''t be a big problem." Zhu Ge said with a half-truth. Shen You raised her head to look at Zhu Ge. From his avoiding gaze, she was sure that he knew something. Shen You did not ask further and only nodded. The two of them immediately fell into silence. When Xie Xiao brought food back to the ward, she saw Zhu Ge sitting on a chair. She walked in and placed the food in her hands on the table. She looked at Zhu Ge and asked, "Why are you here?" Zhu Ge glanced at the lunch box that was wrapped in cloth and asked, "What delicious food did you bring?" Shen You looked at Zhu Ge''s drooling expression and asked, "Do you want to eat?" Zhu Ge quickly nodded. Xie Xiao glanced at Zhu Ge and said, "Don''t even think about it!" Zhu Ge sat on the chair dejectedly and looked at Shen You with a mournful expression. "I brought you such important information. Can''t you exchange it for some food?" Upon hearing Zhu Ge''s words, Xie Xiao turned around and asked Shen You, "What information?" Shen You did not answer. Instead, she was going through the things that Xie Xiao had brought. Zhu Ge answered enthusiastically, "Of course, it''s about the culprit that caused Xia Xiao to fall!" "Who is it?" Xie Xiao''s expression immediately turned cold and hard. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s sinister expression and was surprised. Xie Xiao, who had always looked carefree, actually had such a side of her. Zhu Ge seemed energized. He looked at Xie Xiao and asked, "Why? Do you want to avenge Shen You?" Xie Xiao frowned. "Can''t I?" Zhu Ge smiled. "Of course! You''re the greatest!" Xie Xiao snorted and clenched her small fists with a cracking sound. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and could not help be amazed. "Were you... trained before?" Xie Xiao turned her head and grinned at Shen You. "I was trained since young!" Xie Xiao''s answer shocked Shen You and Zhu Ge. Zhu Ge subconsciously shrank back.. He was afraid that Xie Xiao would beat him up if he offended her without knowing. Chapter 145 - Find Out The Truth Zhu Ge looked at Shen You, his eyes were full of pleading for help. Shen You knew that if Xie Xiao was involved in this matter, it would be difficult to find out the truth. She held on Xie Xiao''s hand and said, "It doesn''t matter who it is! Just leave this person to Zhu Ge to deal with!" Zhu Ge nodded desperately at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao snorted and looked at Zhu Ge from the side. "He alone?" Shen You replied, "Yes!" Shen You could not help but feel sad for Zhu Ge''s fate when she saw the look of disdain on Xie Xiao''s face. It was not that Shen You could not see it after such a long time. Zhu Ge seemed to hold a grudge with Xie Xiao and would find trouble with her now and then. However, he always subconsciously wanted to get closer to Xie Xiao. Shen You might not have been able to understand these actions in the past. But now, this kind of hidden love could not escape Shen You''s eyes! However, Xie Xiao had always been careless. She always felt that Zhu Ge was always trying to make things difficult for her. Sometimes, she felt that it was unfair to Zhu Ge. However, he seemed to enjoy it. Shen You pulled Xie Xiao to sit beside her bed. "I have something that I need your help with." Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s hand that pulled her and said, "Tell me! How can I help you?" Shen You thought for a moment and said, "Wu Qi suddenly broke off the engagement with Huo Xiao. I think this matter is not simple." "I want you to help me find out if this matter has anything to do with Shen Jiao," Shen You said as she pressed hard on Xie Xiao''s hand. Xie Xiao subconsciously looked at their hands that were held together and looked up at Shen You again. "Okay! I''ll check it out!" Zhu Ge pulled the chair forward and asked, "Do you think this matter also has something to do with Shen Jiao?" "Also?" Xie Xiao seemed to have caught onto something important. "You mean Xiao You''s injury this time was also because of Shen Jiao?" "But Shen Jiao wasn''t there at the time..." Xie Xiao frowned and began to recall the scene. Zhu Ge realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shut up. Shen You glared at Zhu Ge and said, "I''m not sure if it has anything to do with Shen Jiao." Shen You tugged at Xia Xiao''s hand again and pulled her attention back. "Also, please help me bring this back to Sister Chen." Xie Xiao looked at the note in her hand in confusion. "What''s this?" Shen You lowered her voice slightly and said, "It''s something she wants to know." Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in confusion, but she still nodded and stuffed the note into her pocket. Zhu Ge looked at the two of them and said after a while, "Is Sister Xie Chen still waiting for that person?" "You know about that person, too?" Shen You looked at Zhu Ge in surprise. Zhu Ge nodded slightly. "I know a little, but not very clear about it." "That person''s matter is a secret of Zhao Nan''s family," Zhu Ge said, his gaze narrowing slightly. "Every time we talk about that person''s matter, Zhao Nan will be very irritated." Shen You nodded. She recalled that in her previous life, Zhao Nan caused trouble in the school a few times, and it was related to his family. Suddenly recalling the scene at that time, Shen You could not help but quiver. At that time, she liked Zhao Nan too much and wished that she could follow him every day. But at that time, she did not realize that following Zhao Nan might be dangerous. She was pushed numerous times for no reason, and her personal belongings were destroyed numerous times. It was during the time she was chasing after Zhao Nan. Shen You could not help but shake her head and smile bitterly. How much had she sacrificed for Zhao Nan in her previous life! She had once fantasized that Zhao Nan would accept her just because he saw her sacrifice. However, everything had turned into a bubble in the end. When Zhao Nan gradually got together with Shen Jiao, Shen You had once deeply hated him. However, what was the use of hating him? She even suspected that if she had step by step pushed Zhao Nan to Shen Jiao''s side? In her second life, Shen You realized that Zhao Nan''s feelings for Shen Jiao were not as deep as she had imagined. However, she did not know what had caused the two of them to end up together in her previous life? Shen You''s expression changed unpredictably, but her eyes were a little blurry. Zhu Ge and Xie Xiao glanced at each other. Neither of them disturbed Shen You. Finally, Shen You seemed to have woken up from her sleep. She looked at the two people in front of her and said, "I''m sorry! I fell asleep just now!" Xie Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhu Ge.. The two of them tacitly did not speak. Chapter 146 - Confession 1 As Shen You injured her head, the doctor retained her in the hospital for a day to observe her. Shen You felt that she was about to become a regular visitor to the hospital. In the evening, Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge left, leaving Shen You alone in the ward. When Huo Xiao left, the two of them had not finished talking. Shen You had a feeling that Huo Xiao would come back. She quietly lay on the hospital bed, waiting. In the quiet night, she could occasionally hear the footsteps in the corridor of the hospital. Shen You listened quietly and suddenly remembered how she looked like when she was lying on the hospital bed in her previous life. The thing she hated the most in her life was lying on a hospital bed! However, she was forced to stay in the hospital again and again. Shen You was even a little resigned to her fate. Hearing the approaching footsteps, Shen You slowly propped herself up and looked in the direction of the door. The door slowly opened and a figure walked in. "Why is it you?" Shen You looked at the person in surprise. The person walked towards Shen You step by step until she reached the bedside and said, "Are you very surprised?" The corner of Shen You''s mouth curled up slightly. "Not surprised?" Shen Jiao pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Shen You. "I heard that you have been hospitalized again. I came to see if you were dying." Shen You looked at Shen Jiao''s disdainful look and sneered. "Thank you for your concern. I''m very well!" Shen Jiao looked at the wound on Shen You''s head and snorted. "It seems that the injury is still too light." "Aren''t you afraid that I will record your words and send them to them?" Shen You looked at Shen Jiao who did not have the intention to hide. Shen Jiao crossed her legs, and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "What am I afraid of? Do you think they will believe you?" Shen You shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, you are the one with more tricks." Shen Jiao looked fearless and said, "I came here today to tell you not to struggle unnecessarily." "Your life will be under my control," Shen Jiao said with a confident smile on her face. Shen You didn''t know what Shen Jiao meant, but she subconsciously felt that Shen Jiao had discovered a secret. Shen You looked at Shen Jiao''s expression and frowned. "My life? Maybe your hand isn''t big enough!" Shen Jiao raised her right hand and flipped it in front of her. "What? You think you still have a chance to turn the tables?" Shen Jiao said. She suddenly lowered her body and leaned towards Shen You. "Don''t think that you can threaten me just because you have that thing!" Shen Jiao said with a fierce look in her eyes. "It''s just a piece of paper. It can''t prove anything!" Shen jiao continued, "I advise you not to waste your energy!" Shen You looked at Shen Jiao with amusement, "If you really thought that piece of paper was useless, you wouldn''t have come all the way here!" Shen Jiao, who had been poked in the sore spot by Shen You, had an ugly expression on her face, "I came here to warn you. If you dare to act recklessly again, I will have a way to chase you out of the Shen family!" "Oh?" Shen You raised her eyebrows, "Do you really think that you are the daughter of the Shen family?" "At least longer than you!" Shen Jiao snorted. "But you are still a fake!" Shen You said slowly. "You!" Shen Jiao was furious. Shen You yawned and ordered Shen Jiao to leave, "I am tired, please get out!" Shen Jiao stared at Shen You and did not move. Shen You did not mind, she lifted the blanket and went in. Shen Jiao looked at Shen You, who was already wrapped tightly in the blanket and ready to sleep. Her eyes narrowed. "Hmph! We''ll see!" Shen Jiao said and turned to leave. Shen You lay on the bed, but her mind was thinking: Shen Jiao dared to come to her in this manner, so she must have already prepared herself. However, Shen You did not know what Shen Jiao had obtained to make her so fearless. Shen You had already used that thing to warn Shen Jiao, but Shen Jiao was not afraid? The thing that she had spent so much effort to find in this life was actually useless? Shen You lay on the bed, thinking hard. She did not notice that the door was pushed open again. Huo Xiao walked into the ward, only to find out Shen You had already fallen asleep. He hesitated for a moment, then walked step by step towards Shen You''s bedside. At this moment, Shen You was wrapped in a blanket and lying with her back facing Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You''s back for a long time before saying, "Xiao You, I really want to be with you. When will you understand my feelings?" Huo Xiao, who thought Shen You was already sound asleep, was startled by Shen You who suddenly got up. He stepped back and looked at Shen You in fright. Chapter 147 - Confession 2 Huo Xiao and Shen You were staring at each other. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. Finally, Huo Xiao made the first move. He coughed dryly and turned his head slightly to hide his embarrassment. Shen You looked at his red ears and pursed her lips tightly. Shen You tilted her head and looked at Huo Xiao. "What did you say? I was in a daze and didn''t hear it clearly." When Huo Xiao heard this, he turned to look at Shen You. "Were you asleep just now?" Shen You nodded and said, "Yes! I felt someone behind me. I was frightened and woke up!" Huo Xiao seemed to be relieved, and Shen You laughed in her heart. "Did you say something just now?" Shen You asked again. Huo Xiao''s brows tightly knitted together. He hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth, but said, "No, you probably heard it wrong." "Oh," Shen You said with some disappointment and did not continue to ask. Huo Xiao''s expression struggled, but he still had no intention of speaking. Shen You lowered her head and muttered something in a low voice, but Huo Xiao did not hear it. Huo Xiao stepped back and sat on a chair at the side, looking at Shen You. The two of them fell into silence again. After a long while, Shen You turned to look at Huo Xiao. "It''s getting late. I''m going to sleep." Huo Xiao nodded, showing no intention of leaving. Shen You frowned and looked at Huo Xiao. "I said I''m going to sleep. Shouldn''t you go home?" Huo Xiao''s eyes were still fixed on Shen You, showing no reaction at all. Shen You lifted the blanket in a fit of pique to cover her head. "Don''t talk to me when I''m asleep again!" Shen You covered herself with the blanket and decided to ignore Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao said, "So you heard it just now, right?" Shen You paused for a moment before lifting the blanket. "So what if I heard it!" "You didn''t tell me personally! Should I answer you?" Shen You became angrier as she spoke, glaring at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. "Do you want to hear me say it again? Personally?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s face that instantly turned red. She rolled her eyes and pulled the blanket back, half-covering her face. Huo Xiao seemed to have made up his mind. He walked to the bedside and sat down on the edge of the bed. He gently reached out his hand and slowly pulled Shen You''s blanket down, revealing her face. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You''s face with a solemn expression. "Xiao You, I like you, and I''m willing to let you cling to me for the rest of your life..." "So, can you not cling to others?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You without blinking. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao and suddenly felt a moment of trance. The reason she once clung to Huo Xiao was to survive, but now? Seeing Shen You did not react, Huo Xiao''s expression gradually stiffened. Shen You suddenly blinked her eyes and looked back at Huo Xiao solemnly. "Although I clung to you for many reasons in the past, since you said that I can cling to you for the rest of my life, you must keep your word!" A smile instantly appeared on Huo Xiao''s face, and his entire face seemed filled with sunshine. He stretched out a hand and raised it in front of Shen You. "I''m a man of my word!" Shen You also stretched out a hand and placed it in Huo Xiao''s hand. "You''re a man of your word!" Shen You did not know when Huo Xiao went home. Huo Xiao insisted on waiting for her to fall asleep before he left. However, Shen You was very excited, and it took a long time before she finally calmed down. It was the first time in her two lives that someone confessed to her. It was also the first time that she had decided that she liked someone! It was not an easy thing to do! Shen You kept looking at Huo Xiao with a silly smile. Huo Xiao also allowed her to look at him like a fool. It was not until she gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep with a smile on her face. When she woke up early in the morning, Shen You even thought that she had an erotic dream the night before. But when she picked up her phone and saw a photo of the two of them together, Shen You was sure that everything that happened last night was real. Shen You hugged her phone and lay on the bed, giggling. At this moment, Li Ru pushed the door open and walked in. "Xiao You, what''s happened to you?" Li Ru looked at Shen You on the hospital bed and asked anxiously. Shen You looked back at Li Ru with a strange gaze. Li Ru said with some annoyance, "I went out yesterday. When I came back at night, the housekeeper said she received a call saying that you were in the hospital again." "You are...." Li Ru looked at Shen You''s slightly flushed face, "Having a fever?" Chapter 148 - A Little Sweet Li Ru accompanied Shen You in the hospital for the whole morning.She had done her duty as a mother. It was then Shen You understood why Shen Jiao dared to come to the hospital to find trouble with her without any restraint last night. It was because Li Ru had brought Shen Jun and Shen Rong to Grandma''s house. Shen Jiao did not go. Thus she had the opportunity to come to the hospital Shen You listened to Li Ru talking about Grandma''s house, but her eyes were a little blurred. Shen You had met this grandmother once in her previous life. The old lady was a very traditional person, and she was very concerned about matters like bloodline. It was said that when she was young, she doted on Shen Jiao, her only granddaughter. However, ever since she found out that Shen Jiao was not the real daughter of the Shen family, her attitude towards Shen Jiao had changed drastically. This deepened Shen Jiao''s hatred towards Shen You. However, Grandma did not have a good impression of Shen You either. After all, Shen You grew up outside. Although there was a genetic test report that proved Shen You was the biological daughter of the Shen family, Grandma still felt Shen You was tainted by the dirty things outside. Although Shen You felt that the old lady''s point of view was a little funny... She was old after all, and there would always be some stubbornness. Shen You would not care if there was an additional person who was unfriendly to her. Subsequently, Shen You stopped going to her grandmother''s house. The old lady would occasionally call to check on her, not forgetting to ask about her granddaughter''s condition. In Shen You''s memory, her grandmother seemed to be in good health at this time. However, the uncles at home were disappointing, and they were always fighting over the property. Therefore, Li Ru would go back to her mother''s house from time to time to resolve the dispute. Initially, in Grandma''s opinion, Li Ru, a daughter who had married an outsider, did not have the right to interfere in the family affairs. However, since Li Ru married well, she had enough power to speak at home. Li Ru stayed for half a day, but she received nearly 10 calls. Shen You smiled at Li Ru and said, "Mom, if you have something to do, go take care of it first. I am fine here." Li Ru had an apologetic smile on her face as she said to Shen You, "Rest well! Mom will come to see you another day!" After Li Ru left, Shen You could not help but shake her head and smile. "How long do you want me to stay in the hospital with an injured head?" Ever since Huo Xiao came, the uncomfortable parts of Shen You''s body had gradually recovered. The wound on her forehead, which was still bleeding yesterday, had begun to scab. Shen You packed her things and obediently went to the doctor''s office to report. "Doctor Chen, Can I be discharged now?" Doctor Chen took Shen You''s examination report and said, "Yes! Your wound is healing well. But you still need to pay attention to the slight concussion." Shen You nodded and quickly handed a piece of paper to Doctor Chen. "Please sign!" Doctor Chen waved his pen and signed the discharge form. Shen You took the discharge form and carried a small backpack. She left with her familiarity with the hospital. Back at the coffee shop, Xie Chen was busy in the kitchen. Xie Xiao was not home yet. Shen You returned to her room to put her things away and sent a message to Huo Xiao. "I''m home." "Why didn''t you wait for me to pick you up?" Huo Xiao replied quickly. Shen You could see Huo Xiao''s displeased face from the text message. The smile on Shen You''s face deepened. She took her phone and quickly replied, "Attend the class well. Listen attentively!" Huo Xiao did not reply. Shen You waited for a few minutes, but there was still no reply from Huo Xiao. Shen You was a little angry. But when she thought about it, she was the one who told him to attend the class well. What reason did she have to be angry? Shen You placed her phone heavily on the table and got up to fumble around in the room. After nearly half an hour, her phone still did not ring. Shen You snorted and walked out of the room, planning to help Xie Chen. Xie Chen looked at Shen You''s absent-minded look and could not help but be a little worried. "Xiao You, is anything bothering you?" Xie Chen asked with concern. Shen You looked at Xie Chen in a daze. After a long while, she said, "No..." "Well, Sister Chen, I''m going up to get something," Shen You said as she put down the things in her hands and rushed into her room. When she returned to her room, she turned on her phone and saw Huo Xiao''s reply. Moreover, he replied three times in a row, and there were two missed calls. "I just replied after class. I didn''t look at my phone during class..." Huo Xiao''s first message. "You''re not angry, are you?" Huo Xiao''s second message. "Are you ignoring me? The class is about to start... I''ll see you after class! Wait for me!" Huo Xiao''s third message. Shen You looked at the contents of the message and smiled again. Chapter 149 - Something Happened To Zhao Nans Family Shen You was humming a song as she was busy in the kitchen. Xie Chen looked at Shen You strangely feeling strange, but she did not ask her. The moment Xie Xiao returned, she rushed into the kitchen. "Big news, big news!" Xie Chen looked at Xie Xiao''s energetic appearance and frowned slightly. "What big news? That it made you look like a lunatic?" Xie Xiao stuck out her tongue and said to Xie Chen, "It''s really big news!" Then, Xie Xiao turned to Shen You and said, "I heard that Huo Xiao has a girlfriend!" Xie Xiao''s words made Shen You, who was about to turn around with the plate in her hands, freeze on the spot. Looking at Shen You''s frozen back, Xie Xiao''s mouth was about to open. Xie Chen followed Xie Xiao''s gaze and looked at Shen You. She asked, "Who is it?" "Who else could it be? Ah! The one who hid it from Xie Xiao!" Xie Xiao raised her chin in Shen You''s direction. Shen You turned around awkwardly and grinned at Xie Chen and Xie Xiao. "Hehe, Hehe..." "You''re still laughing! How dare you not tell us such a big thing!" Xie Xiao''s expression changed instantly. She glared at Shen You and looked a little angry. Shen You quickly put the tray in her hand aside, rushed to Xie Xiao, and grabbed her hand. "I''m not hiding it! It''s just that when I came back today, you had already gone to school!" Shen You said with some grievance. "Hmph! You did it on purpose!" Xie Xiao snorted unhappily. "There was clearly a hint yesterday, but you didn''t say anything!" "You also said that there was only a hint! If I hadn''t forced him, he wouldn''t have said anything!" Shen You''s face was hot. "Wow! I didn''t expect you to be so bold." Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in disbelief. Shen You quickly turned around, and the expression on her face became even more bashful. "It''s not that!" Seeing that Shen You''s face was red from embarrassment, Xie Chen quickly pulled Xie Xiao back. "Stop laughing at her. Her face can almost bake a cupcake!" Xie Xiao laughed even more recklessly. After a while, Shen You thought of something. "How did you know about this?" "It was him who said it!" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and teased her. Sure enough, Shen You''s face turned red again. She waved her hand and said, "No! I mean, why would he suddenly mention this to you!" Xie Xiao frowned and thought for a moment. "It seems like someone said something... and then he jumped out and said that you are his girlfriend!" "What happened?" Shen You was even more confused. Xie Xiao scratched the back of her head and thought seriously for a moment. "It seems like... he talked about you and Zhao Nan!" Xie Xiao said "Zhao Nan? Why would he talk about him?" Shen You was even more confused. "Oh yes! Something happened to Zhao Nan''s family!" Xie Xiao clapped her hands when she thought of another important matter. "What happened?" Shen You asked quickly and subconsciously looked in Xie Chen''s direction. "I heard that one of his elder brothers just came back from abroad..." Xie Xiao recalled, "And something happened!" Bang! There was a sound next to Shen You and Xie Xiao. The two of them looked towards the sound and saw Xie Chen squatting on the ground, picking up the dishes. "Sis, are you alright?" Xie Xiao asked worriedly. Xie Chen shook her head, "I''m fine! You guys continue to chat! I''ll go take out the cupcakes!" Shen You looked at Xie Chen''s back and sighed secretly. She turned to ask Xie Xiao, "What happened to Zhao Nan?" "What? Why are you so concerned about him?" Xie Xiao was amused and looked at Shen You. "Aren''t you afraid Huo Xiao will be jealous?" Xie Xiao could not help but tease her. "Oh my! Don''t talk nonsense! Tell me, what happened to his brother?" Shen You asked again. "I heard that he was in a car accident and is now lying in the hospital." Xie Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Nan rushed to the hospital in a hurry. We don''t know the exact situation yet." Shen You looked in the direction of the door again, but she looked a little troubled. "Do you know which hospital?" Xie Xiao shook her head. "Why don''t you call Zhao Nan and ask him?" Shen You pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it! We''ll talk about it later!" After tidying up the things in the kitchen, Shen You walked out of the kitchen and saw Huo Xiao push the door open and come in. "You''re here!" Shen You smiled at Huo Xiao. "Ah!" Huo Xiao replied, turned around, and walked back to his usual seat. Xie Xiao watched the somewhat unfamiliar interaction between the two with a smile on her face.. She held back her laughter and watched the show from the side. Chapter 150 - Do You Have Anything That You Want To Ask? After Shen You was done with her work, she walked up to Huo Xiao and sat down on the sofa. "Why did you tell everyone?" Hearing Shen You''s rebuke, Huo Xiao smiled. "You''re my girlfriend, to begin with! I can''t tell anyone?" Looking at Huo Xiao''s proud look, Shen You could not help but shake her head and sigh. "I wanted to tell Xie Xiao and others myself." Hearing Shen You''s complaints, Huo Xiao felt a little awkward. "But, but... at that time, they said that Zhao Nan..." "Sigh!" Huo Xiao was lost and did not know how to explain. In the end, he could only sigh heavily. Hearing Huo Xiao mention Zhao Nan, Shen You asked, "Speaking of which, can you accompany me to see Zhao Nan later?" Huo Xiao wanted to say no but he changed his mind and said, "Okay!" Although Huo Xiao did not want Shen You to see Zhao Nan, it was better to accompany her than let Shen You go alone. Seeing Huo Xiao''s eyes darting around, Shen You guessed that he must be thinking about something. Shen You snorted and said, "I''ll go and clean up for a while." Shen You walked to the bar counter and looked at Xie Chen. "Sister Chen, I want to go and see what happened at Zhao Nan''s house." Xie Chen suddenly looked up at Shen You, and her eyes seemed to be in a trance for a moment. Shen You stared at Xie Chen. "Do you have anything that you want to ask?" As if she finally realized what Shen You had said, Xie Chen quickly lowered her head and said, "No." Shen You sighed faintly and said, "Okay! I''ll leave now then!" Shen You and Huo Xiao left together... While Xie Chen was watching their backs as they walked out of the coffee shop. Huo Xiao and Shen You went to the hospital together and found no one in the corridor. The young master of the Zhao family was injured and hospitalized. It was impossible not to have any visitors. "This is too strange!" Shen You frowned slightly and followed Huo Xiao to the ward. "I asked around just now. The injured person is Zhao Nan''s eldest brother, Zhao Pu," Huo Xiao said. "Back then, Zhao Pu left home and almost cut ties with his family. So, everyone thought that the family had abandoned him. Huo Xiao briefly introduced Zhao Pu to Shen You." Shen You, on the other hand, was calculating in her heart. If she had not pulled Zhao Pu back in advance, he would probably have lived a peaceful life abroad just like in her previous life. However, she did not want Xie Chen and Zhao Pu to have any regrets. After all, being able to be together with the person she loved for a lifetime was Shen You''s greatest wish in her previous life. "Are you saying that Zhao PU has no value, so no one came to visit him?" Shen You understood what Huo Xiao meant. "You''re really snobbish!" Shen You sneered. Huo Xiao turned to look at Shen You. "Sometimes I don''t know you''re innocent or silly." Shen You glared at Huo Xiao. "Am I wrong?" "Yes! You''re right!" Huo Xiao quickly grabbed Shen You''s hand. "Don''t be angry, I''m wrong!" Shen You snorted and didn''t say anything. The two of them walked towards Zhao Pu''s ward. When they reached the door, they heard a shout from inside. "Don''t ever enter the Zhao family for the rest of your life!" With an angry roar and hurried footsteps, the door of the ward opened with a bang. Huo Xiao and Shen You watched in a daze as someone rushed out of the ward. It was Zhao Nan''s father. Zhao Nan followed closely behind. When he saw Huo Xiao and Shen You, he was stunned for a moment. He then turned around to chase after his father who had already gone far away. Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other and then glanced at the ward. They decided to wait for Zhao Nan to come back before going in. After a while, Zhao Nan ran back as expected. "Why are you guys here?" Zhao Nan looked at Huo Xiao and Shen You and asked. He looked at their hands that were held together and said, "Is there anything?" Shen You quickly stepped forward and said, "I want to see Brother Zhao Pu!" Chapter 151 - Declared Sovereignty Zhao Nan looked at Shen You in surprise. "You know my eldest brother?" "Not really. We met once before," Shen You said truthfully. This was in her previous life. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You suspiciously. Seeing her calm expression, he said, "Alright! Come with me! My eldest brother just woke up." Zhao Nan brought Shen You and Huo Xiao to the ward. However, n his mind, he was thinking how Shen You would know Zhao Pu. Was it because she had been chasing after him in the past and she had met Zhao Pu? But Zhao Pu had been away from home for many years. Shen You couldn''t have met him! Zhao Nan could not find any clues at the moment, so he could only put this matter aside. The moment Shen You entered the ward, she saw Zhao Pu lying on the bed. Many parts of his body were wrapped in gauze. Shen You was a little surprised. "Is it that serious?" Zhao Nan glanced at Zhao Pu and said, "There are a few fractures, but there are more abrasions on his body." Shen You nodded and thought to herself. Fortunately, she was the only one who saw it. If Xie Chen saw it, she would be heartbroken! Shen You walked to Zhao Pu''s bed and saw Zhao Pu with his eyes closed. She asked tentatively, "Brother Zhao Pu, are you awake?" Zhao Pu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen You. From his eye, it could tell that he did not know Shen You. Shen You smiled at Zhao Pu and said, "I''m the daughter of the Shen family. I''m here to see you." Zhao Pu smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you." Shen You glanced at Zhao Nan and Huo Xiao and found that they were staring at each other as if they were secretly competing. Shen You lowered her voice and said to Zhao Pu, "I''m working at Sister Xie Chen''s coffee shop now." Zhao Pu''s eyes immediately lit up as he stared at Shen You. Shen You smiled. "You do know her, don''t you?" "How is she?" Zhao Pu asked in a low voice. "She''s fine! Not to worry!" Shen You muttered. "Do you want to see her?" Zhao Pu seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "No, I don''t." Shen You frowned slightly. After a moment, she said, "But she wants to see you." Hearing this, Zhao Pu''s face seemed to be in pain. Shen You sighed and said, "I will respect your opinion." "I will come to see you in two days. If you change your mind, let me know," Shen You said to Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu''s expression changed again and again before he nodded. Shen You smiled at Zhao Pu before she straightened up and said to Huo Xiao, "Let''s go!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and then at Zhao Pu. "Brother Zhao Pu, I''m Shen You''s boyfriend, Huo Xiao." Hearing Huo Xiao''s self-introduction that sounded like he was declaring his sovereignty, the smile on Shen You''s face almost reached her ears. Although Zhao Pu was a little surprised that Huo Xiao would introduce himself in this manner, when he saw Zhao Nan who was so angry that his face turned purple, Zhao Pu understood what was going on. He nodded slightly and said, "Hello!" Huo Xiao walked to Shen You''s side and said to Zhao Pu, "We''re leaving now. Brother Zhao Pu, you rest well!" Zhao Pu nodded and said to Zhao Nan, "Help me see them out!" Zhao Nan seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he could not reject his eldest brother. Zhao Nan''s looked unhappy. He said to Huo Xiao and Shen You, "Let''s go! The hospital is not a place for you to show off your love!" Looking at Zhao Nan''s expression, Shen You did not know why, but she wanted to laugh. It was not until they walked out of the ward that Shen You grabbed Huo Xiao''s hand. "Wait, let me laugh for a while." Zhao Nan glared at Shen You. "What are you laughing at?" "Nothing! Look at your expression, it''s so funny!" Shen You could not control herself at all. Zhao Nan snorted and said, "Don''t tell anyone about my brother here, understand!" Chapter 152 - Saved The Puppy Shen You looked at Zhao Nan and asked, "What if someone your brother wants to see comes to see him?" Zhao Nan was stunned when he heard that. "Who are you talking about?" Shen You raised her eyebrows. "You should know." Zhao Nan''s expression became a little strange as if he was struggling. After a long while, he sighed. "Don''t come tonight. My parents will be here." Shen You looked at Zhao Nan and nodded. "I understand! Don''t worry!" "Okay," Zhao Nan said, then turned around, pushed open the door of the ward, and entered. Shen You pulled Huo Xiao and quickly left the hospital. On the way, Huo Xiao seemed to be hesitant to speak. Shen You did not notice Huo Xiao''s reaction. In her mind, she was thinking about how to get Xie Chen to see Zhao Pu. Obviously, Zhao Pu and Xie Chen wanted to see each other. However, there was something between them that they could not bridge over. Shen You could not understand. If it was merely the objection from his family, with Zhao Pu''s ability to stay overseas alone for so long, he should not be in this state. Just as Shen You was lost in her thoughts, a puppy suddenly rushed out in front of her and bumped into Shen You''s leg. As the puppy was running too fast and hit too hard, it howled at the side. Shen You was also hit hard by the puppy. She took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground. Huo Xiao quickly caught Shen You. The two of them looked at the puppy together. The puppy seemed to be frightened. Seeing the two of them walking over, it wailed and ran in the opposite direction. However, it was just a few steps when it seemed to have seen something even more terrifying. It turned around and ran back in the direction of Shen You. Shen You swiftly caught the puppy. The puppy struggled with all its might, attempting to bite Shen You using its small teeth. Seeing this, Huo Xiao was about to ask Shen You to let go of the puppy. Unexpectedly, just as Shen You held the puppy''s belly with one hand, the puppy suddenly quieted down. The puppy looked like it was only two to three months old. Its little baby teeth were chewing on Shen You''s clothes. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in surprise. "This... you..." Shen You smiled at Huo Xiao and said, "When I was a child in the countryside, no matter how big the dog was, I would be able to deal with it." Huo Xiao showed an expression of admiration for Shen You. At this moment, a few boys ran over with a few small wooden sticks in their hands. Seeing this, Shen You''s expression darkened. The boys rushed over to Shen You and seeing the puppy in Shen You''s arms, they said, "Give the dog back to us!" "The dog is yours?" Shen You asked coldly. "That''s right!" The boys rushed to answer. Shen You''s expression became even colder. "What are you doing with the sticks?" The boys seemed to be a little nervous and hid their hands holding the sticks behind. "Why do you care about us! Quickly return the dog to us!" One of the older boys said rudely to Shen You. Shen You stared at him with an unperturbed expression. "You guys are bullying this puppy. We can''t give the dog to you guys!" The boys were unhappy and looked at Shen You. "You''re stealing thing from us!" "The puppy is not your thing! It''s life!" Shen You said solemnly. The boys looked at each other. Seeing that they could not convince Shen You, they snorted and turned to run away. "Hmph! Let''s play with something else!" The boys ran away and turned back to make faces at Shen You from time to time. Shen You glared at the boys fiercely. She did not show any signs of weakness. Huo Xiao stood at the side and watched Shen You''s funny actions. He could not help but shake his head. After the boys had left, Shen You looked at the puppy that was already asleep in her arms. "Let''s go! Come home with me!" Huo Xiao looked at the puppy in Shen You''s arms. "You want to adopt it?" "Yes! It doesn''t have a home either..." Shen You said lightly. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You affectionately and said, "Let''s take it for a check-up first." Chapter 153 - New Family Member The two of them brought the puppy to a relatively famous pet hospital. As Huo Xiao had a severe obsession with cleanliness since he was young, although he liked small animals very much, he had never been allowed to keep pets. Lin Shu naturally knew Huo Xiao''s interest. In desperation, she could only open a pet shop so that her son could see small animals in a relatively safe environment. She did not expect that the pet shop would expand, and its business scope also became wider. It had become a famous chain of pet hospitals in the city. Huo Xiao brought Shen You into the pet hospital. He handed the puppy to the medical staff and waited quietly. Huo Xiao looked at the dust and dog fur on Shen You''s body and frowned slightly. He suppressed the urge to clean up Shen You. He swallowed his saliva and said, "When you were young, did you live well in the countryside?" Hearing Huo Xiao''s question, Shen You turned to look at him and smiled. "Very well! I was happy every day!" "At least, I was happier than living here!" Shen You said sincerely. "Aren''t you happy here?" Huo Xiao asked with some heartache. Shen You grinned at Huo Xiao. "I''m fine. I am happier recently!" Huo Xiao suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Is it because of me?" Shen You could not help but glare at Huo Xiao. "You''re so shameless!" Huo Xiao chuckled. "I''ll definitely work hard to make you happier in the future!" Shen You''s heart suddenly throbbed twice. She did not know why, but she felt her heart tighten. Shen You was about to say something when the vet walked out of the treatment room. "The puppy is just a little anemic. The rest is fine." Shen You quickly got up and walked over, taking the puppy from the vet''s arms. The puppy sniffed Shen You''s scent. As if it was familiar with the scent, it snuggled in Shen You''s arms and found a comfortable position for itself. Looking at the little fellow snuggling comfortably in her arms, the smile on Shen You''s face grew wider. "Doctor, do you need to prescribe any medicine for it?" Shen You asked. "It''s still young. Just prepare some nutritious food for it," the vet suggested. Shen You nodded and said, "I''ll have to trouble you then!" Shen You carried the puppy and left the pet hospital with Huo Xiao. The two of them did not go back through the front door of the coffee shop. Instead, they went straight back to Xie Chen''s house through the back door. Just as Shen You was about to open the door, she saw Xie Xiao open the door and rush out. Shen You was stunned. Seeing Xie Xiao''s weary look, she asked, "What''s happening?" "I just received a call saying that there''s an urgent matter at home and asked sister and me to go back," Xie Xiao said hurriedly. "We might not come back tonight, you guys..." Xie Xiao glanced at Huo Xiao and said to Shen You, "I don''t care anymore! I''m leaving now!" Shen You was blinking her eyes watching Xie Xiao run away without looking back. Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other awkwardly, feeling that Xie Xiao seemed to have misunderstood something. However, there was no chance to explain now. Thus the two of them could only accept it. They had brought the puppy home, but the puppy had been asleep and not woken up. Shen You used her blanket to build a temporary nest for the puppy. After putting the puppy on the blanket, Shen You quickly went to the kitchen and began to make the milk that she had bought from the pet hospital for the puppy. According to the vet''s suggestion, Shen You carefully did the work of a super wet nurse. Huo Xiao stood at the side and watched Shen You''s every move, a smile appearing in his eyes. After being busy, Shen You finally squatted next to the puppy. Seeing the little guy sleeping soundly, she laughed to herself. Huo Xiao stood at the side and muttered, "So cute." Shen You didn''t even raise her head and said, "Yeah! So cute!" "Those boys are so bad! They even want to bully such a cute puppy!" Shen You said angrily. Huo Xiao shook his head and didn''t continue speaking. Chapter 154 - Strange Auntie "You seem to like this puppy very much?" Huo Xiao asked as he looked at Shen You who was looking at the puppy lovingly. Shen You turned to look at Huo Xiao and said, "Don''t you think it looks a lot like me?" Huo Xiao frowned slightly. "Were you often bullied when you were young?" Shen You shrugged and said indifferently, "A child without parents growing up in the village, just imagine..." "I remember when I was young, and when someone bullied me, I would hide and cry." Shen You sat cross-legged on the ground and stroked the puppy''s back with one hand as she said softly. "At that time, no one would coax me or sympathize with me." Shen You sighed slightly. "I didn''t dare to go back and let Grandma know." Shen You said with a bitter smile. "Although I knew she would definitely avenge me, she was so old then," Shen You said with a smile on her face, which made Huo Xiao''s heart aching. "I remember once I was chased by a big fierce wolfdog." Shen You said with a strange expression on her face. "Were you bitten?" Huo Xiao immediately asked with concern. Shen You shook her head. "No, I didn''t. I just accidentally fell." "The big dog pounced on me and licked me..." Shen You said. When she recalled that scene, she couldn''t help but laugh. "But I was really scared to death at that time!" Shen You said and opened her arms. "The dog was this big! It was the size of two of me!" Huo Xiao nodded in understanding. Shen You suddenly remembered something. "I remember that an auntie ran over and chased the big dog away. She then took me to the hospital." "That auntie even let me stay in the hospital for two days." Shen You said as if some things were already blurred. "That auntie must have liked you, to save you from such a fierce dog''s mouth!" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You who was trying to think hard. Shen You shook her head as if she found it strange. "I had never seen that auntie in the village, and I don''t think I''ve seen her since then..." The more Shen You thought about it, the stranger she felt. "According to the villagers, no one knew who had sent me to the hospital." "It was only after the hospital called the village committee that Uncle Chen''s family came to fetch me." Shen You furrowed her brows. "She brought me to the county hospital and then let me wait for someone to pick me up." The more Shen You thought about it, the stranger it became. "Who is this auntie?" Shen You scratched her hair in confusion. Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s hand and said, "Don''t think so much. Maybe she was just a kind auntie passing by." Shen You immediately denied Huo Xiao''s statement. "That''s not right! There must be something wrong with that auntie!" "Why?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You strangely. "I never thought about it before," Shen You said as she recalled, "Not long after that auntie appeared, strangers appeared around me from time to time." "Until one day, the Shen family suddenly appeared and brought me back to the Shen family," Shen You said as she recalled. "I think at that time, the Shen family already discovered that Shen Jiao was not their child," Shen You said softly. "But they were not sure that a wild child like me, who grew up in the countryside, is worthy of the Shen family''s prestige," Shen You said with a cold smile on her face. Huo Xiao''s heart ached as he gently put his arm around Shen You''s shoulder. Shen You did not resist. She just rested her head on Huo Xiao''s shoulder. "I think, at that time, the Shen family must have sent a lot of people to observe me," Shen You said and laughed suddenly. "They must have been angered to death." "They didn''t expect the Shen family to have such a daughter!" Shen You laughed and said, "They were afraid they had embarrassed the ancestors of the Shen family!" Huo Xiao patted Shen You''s shoulder and comforted her. Chapter 155 - Set-Up Shen You gently leaned on Huo Xiao''s shoulder and looked at the puppy in front of her. "At that time, I was probably just like the puppy. No one wanted me, and people despised me," Shen You said lightly. "But, fortunately, although the Shen family despised me as a daughter, they still brought me back," Shen You continued. "I have a new life here, although..." Shen You paused for a moment. "But, everything is different now!" Shen You looked up at Huo Xiao. "I am very grateful to the Shen family for bringing me back!" Shen You stared at Huo Xiao and said, "Even though I once hated them." Huo Xiao looked at Shen You. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "I am also very grateful to them!" The two of them looked at each other quietly. Looking into each other''s eyes, they felt everything was so beautiful. Until... "Woof!" The dog barked and broke the silence between the two of them. Huo Xiao and Shen You seemed to have woken up from a dream and looked in the direction of the puppy. The puppy seemed to have had a nightmare. It barked and flapped its limbs. Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other and burst out laughing. Shen You reached out her hand and gently comforted the restless little thing to calm it down. Huo Xiao sat at the side and looked at them. Xie Xiao and Xie Chen only returned home before dawn. Shen You was not asleep yet. She was groping in the kitchen to find something to eat. "Why aren''t you asleep in the middle of the night?" Xie Xiao asked when she saw the packets of things in Shen You''s hands. "I can''t help it. I was reading till late. I''m hungry," Shen You said as she raised the bags of snacks in her hands. "Would you like to have some?" Xie Xiao nodded and walked over to take a packet. She sat on the sofa and began to eat. "Seriously, what''s the big deal? Why made the two of us go back!" Xie Xiao said unhappily. "After a whole night of tossing and turning, we didn''t even get a proper meal!" Xie Xiao became angrier as she spoke. "What''s the matter? Why were you in such a hurry to go back?" Shen You sat next to Xie Xiao and asked. "It''s my sister''s wedding!" Xie Xiao couldn''t help but roll her eyes. "I don''t know what had happened to my parents that they insisted on arranging a blind date for my sister!" Xie Xiao said as she glanced at Xie Chen who had already quietly walked into the room. Shen You also looked over. Xie Chen looked very tired. She didn''t say a word as she walked into the room and closed the door. "Judging from Sister Chen''s appearance, it doesn''t look good," Shen You said worriedly. "Exactly!" Xie Xiao sighed. "They said that it was an urgent matter and asked us to go back. But when we went back, they said that they wanted to go out for dinner." Xie Xiao slapped her thigh and continued, "How was that a dinner? It''s basically a set-up!" "When we went to the hotel, we found a table full of four to five men waiting to go on a blind date with my sister!" Xie Xiao snorted and said. "Can you imagine that scene!" Xie Xiao said, rolling her eyes to the sky. Shen You thought of the awkward scene and couldn''t help but sweat for Xie Chen. "How did sister Xie Chen eat that meal?" Shen You asked curiously. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You like she was an elder and patted Shen You on the shoulder. "Young Man, you don''t know my sister," Xie Xiao said slowly, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. "Even with a row of zombies in front of her, she could still eat a meal without being disturbed." After hearing that, Shen You''s eyes showed admiration. After saying that, Xie Xiao shrugged dejectedly. "I don''t know when it started, but my sister has become this calm and collected..." Shen You looked at Xie Chen''s tightly shut door and thought, "Maybe I should let them meet as soon as possible." Chapter 156 - Why Did You Like Huo Xiao? Early the next morning, Xie Chen was still the first to arrive at the coffee shop, tidying up everything in the shop. Shen You ran out of her room in a hurry, grabbing the breakfast on the dining table prepared by Xie Chen and running out. When she arrived at the coffee shop, she greeted Xie Chen. Shen You pushed open the door and was about to leave. Then, she remembered something. Shen You turned around and asked Xie Chen, "Sister Chen, you..." Xie Chen raised her head and looked at Shen You. "What''s the matter?" Shen You thought for a moment and shook her head. "Let''s talk about it when I come back!" Xie Chen nodded and said, "Be careful on the road!" Shen You replied and turned around to run out. Xie Xiao hurriedly chased after Shen You. As she was running, she muttered, "You didn''t call me along! You sneak away yourself every day!" Xie Xiao finally caught up to Shen You. She took a few deep breaths and asked, "What did you want to say to my sister just now?" Shen You glanced at Xie Xiao and said, "You''re very curious, don''t you know that?" Xie Xiao shrugged and said, "It''s not that you''ve just known me." "Tell me! What''s the matter?" Xie Xiao asked, unwilling to give up. Shen You thought for a moment and said, "It''s nothing. I''ve recently met an old friend of Sister Chen. He asked me to send her regards." "My sister''s friend? Who is it? I basically know all of her friends," Xie Xiao patted her chest and said. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and smiled without saying anything. Seeing that Shen You was unwilling to say anything, Xie Xiao rubbed her nose and did not ask any further. The two of them chatted as they walked to school. Most of the time, because of Xie Xiao''s habit of jogging in the morning, Shen You rarely went to school with her. Today, it was rare that they walked to school together, so they talked about a lot of things. "You and Huo Xiao are really together now? It''s so incredible!" The more Xie Xiao spoke, the more she felt that this matter was very magical. "Is it strange that the two of us are together?" Hearing Xie Xiao''s words, Shen You suddenly became a little nervous. She did not know why, but she somehow felt that others would think she was trying to climb up to Huo Xiao. Objectively it seemed like it, though. However, Shen You really cared about this kind of unequal relationship. She was afraid! She was afraid that it would be like what had happened in her past life. She was forever following Zhao Nan but she would never be able to catch up to him! Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and smiled. "It''s so strange!" "I''m so curious, why would you fall for Huo Xiao!" Xie Xiao said very sincerely. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao in surprise. Xie Xiao felt Shen You''s gaze and looked at her. "Why? I can''t have any doubts?" "Huo Xiao is a weird person. I think only you would fall for him!" Xie Xiao could not help but comment. "But that''s not true!" Xie Xiao thought of something again. "Wu Qi was even stranger!" Shen You suddenly stood still and looked at Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao was shocked, stopped walking and looked at Shen You. Shen You walked forward and pulled Xie Xiao into her arms. "Thank you!" Xie Xiao was shocked and stood still. "What''s wrong with you?" Shen You slowly let go of Xie Xiao. "Thank you for being my friend." "Tch! You''re crazy!" Xie Xiao waved her hand and continued to walk forward. The two of them walked straight to the school and saw Jiang Yi and Lu Man who were stopped at the school gate. As Shen Jiao had not come to the school recently, their attendance rate had become very low. They were either late or left early. And the two dressed like sparring peacocks all day long. Finally, they were caught by the disciplinary teacher who could not stand it anymore. "See how the two of you look like!" The disciplinary teacher, who was dressed in a gray suit and had her hair combed neatly, held a ruler and scolded them. The two who originally had Shen Jiao''s support would still dare to fight back without restraint. Now that Shen Jiao was not around, they were as docile as two little sheep in the face of the ''ferocity'' of the disciplinary teacher. When Shen You and Xie Xiao walked past them, they couldn''t help but cover their mouths and laugh. Lu Man and Jiang Yi saw that Shen You and Xie Xiao were secretly laughing at them, their expressions became very ugly. When the disciplinary teacher saw this, she thought the two were dissatisfied with her disciplinary action.. Thus she became even angrier. Chapter 157 - False Patriotism It was not until the bell rang that the disciplinary teacher escorted Lu Man and Jiang Yi to the classroom. The elite class always had special privileges, but the only one they could not afford to offend was the disciplinary teacher. This teacher was said to have been a student of the elite class before. She was known for being impartial and was practically the mortal enemy of the elite class students. Seeing the pitiful looks of Lu Man and Jiang Yi, many people in the class began to laugh unkindly. The disciplinary teacher walked to the podium and swept her gaze across the group of people below. Then, her gaze fell on Lu Man and Jiang Yi. "Don''t think that you are students of the elite class, and you have special privileges!" The disciplinary teacher said coldly. The students below looked at each other, and their unfriendly gazes fell on Lu Man and Jiang Yi. The disciplinary teacher''s move was simply a warning to the others. "I advise you to study hard," the disciplinary teacher continued, speaking earnestly. "You are relying on your family now. What if one day, your family can no longer be your support?" "What are you going to rely on? On such fancy clothes? Or on your so-called special privileges?" The disciplinary teacher snorted. It was clear that she looked down on the students in front of her. Nearly half an hour of admonishment finally came to an end when the teacher arrived. "In the future, you''d better not let me catch you in any wrongdoings!" The disciplinary teacher glanced at the entire class before leaving in her black high heel shoes. However, despite the presence of the teacher, the class instantly resumed its usual lively state. "Did this disciplinary teacher just get dumped? Why was she so hot temper?" Many students began to gossip out of curiosity. "I think she was discriminated against when she was in the elite class because of her poor family environment," some guessed. "It can''t be. I heard that her family is quite well-off," another student disagreed. "If you ask me, she is probably too old to get married, so she has a grudge!" A boy snickered at the side. Shen You, on the contrary, took the advice of the disciplinary teacher. After all, she didn''t grow up rich. However, why was the disciplinary teacher suddenly in charge of the dress code? After all, it was not only a day or two that Jiang Yi and Lu Man had been wearing fancy clothing. As expected, that afternoon, the school issued a notice about the school board meeting that would last for a week next week. In other words, the school board that was funding the school would hold the meeting for a week continuously in the school. When this news came out, the whole school was in an uproar. "Are these school board members so free? They''re going to hold a meeting for a week!" When several girls gathered together, gossip was unavoidable. "I heard it''s for the school''s future planning." Another girl shared the news that she had heard of. "Is it about the merger with the sister schools in the UK?" Someone more informed voiced out the answer. The girl who had spoken earlier quickly turned around and said, "Ah! You''ve also heard about it?" "That''s good. From now on, we can be considered students of foreign schools!" The other students expressed their agreement to such a reform. However, very quickly, someone poured cold water on them. "What are you thinking? Aren''t we still studying in China, and then working in China?" Someone did not seem to care. "How''s wrong with being in China? Isn''t it good in China? At least it''s safe!" The person who poured cold water on them sneered. "Only those who are incapable will stay in China!" "Go ahead if you want to go abroad! What nonsense are you talking about here!" A few other students had expressed their dissatisfaction with him. That person did not care. "My family has already arranged for me to go abroad. Soon, I will be going abroad to study!" Seeing that person''s arrogant look, many people began to criticize him. Shen You stood at the side watching the rarely seen large-scale battle scene. She was feeling very happy. She was just short of serving a plate of melon seeds, listening by the side while eating the melon seeds. Chapter 158 - A Kiss! After lunch at noon, Shen You was happily leaning on the chair, ready to have a good sleep. A hand suddenly appeared in front of Shen You, causing her to bounce up from the chair. Staring at the owner of the hand, Shen You asked sternly, "Are you trying to scare me to death? Are you crazy?" The owner, Zhao Nan, acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He stood at the side and asked leisurely, "What exactly did you say to my brother?" Shen You looked at Zhao Nan strangely. "Why? What did your brother say to you?" "It''s because he refused to say anything that I came to ask you!" Zhao Nan said, somewhat gritting his teeth. Shen You raised her eyebrows and smiled at Zhao Nan. "A secret!" Zhao Nan''s expression changed. After a long while, he exhaled and said, "Alright! Although I don''t know what you said, thank you!" Shen You, on the other hand, was somewhat baffled by the gratitude. She stared at Zhao Nan with inquiring eyes. Zhao Nan slightly lowered his body and leaned against Shen You''s ear, saying, "After you guys left last night, he said a lot of things to me." "He, who was originally very quiet, seemed to have more expectations," Zhao Nan said softly. "So, I want to thank you! At least, you made him have expectations," Zhao Nan said as he extended his hand in front of Shen You. Shen You looked at the hand and asked, "What is this for?" "We shook hands to make peace!" Zhao Nan said matter-of-factly. "What had happened to us before?" Shen You was a little puzzled. Zhao Nan paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Okay! We have always been good!" "Who is good?" Huo Xiao, who had just walked in from outside the classroom, immediately rushed over when he saw Zhao Nan standing next to Shen You. Shen You glanced at Huo Xiao and said, "Zhao Nan said thank you to me!" "For what?" Huo Xiao glared at Shen You, his eyes seemed to have anger. Shen You tried hard to hold back her smile and said, "He thanked me for visiting Brother Zhao Pu!" "Oh." Huo Xiao seemed to be relieved after hearing what Shen You said. Zhao Nan frowned slightly when he saw the two of them exchanging glances. He said, "I''ll take the afternoon off to go back. You... can visit my brother when you have time!" Shen You nodded and said, "I should be going again soon!" Zhao Nan nodded and left. Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s hand with one hand and said in a low voice, "Don''t get so close to him!" Shen You pursed her lips and held back her laughter. "Okay! He was the one who leaned over. How did I avoid him!" Huo Xiao snorted and said, "Anyway, you remember to stay away from him!" Shen You held Huo Xiao''s hand and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I''ll listen to you!" "Gosh, why must you guys let me see these things every day!" Zhu Ge was walking to his seat, biting an apple. He took out the apple from his mouth and smacked his mouth, saying, "Why is it full of sour smell?" He tried to sniff hard, "The air is filled with the sour smell of love!" "It''s disgusting!" Zhu Ge said loudly. This sentence immediately attracted the laughter of many people around. Shen You was a little embarrassed. She wanted to pull back her hand, but Huo Xiao held it tightly. Xie Xiao stood up and said to Zhu Ge across the air, "Why? Are you envious? They''re the first couple in our class. We have to protect them well!" Xie Xiao''s words immediately attracted the cheers of the class. Many people even whistled. Shen You blushed instantly, looking even cuter. Huo Xiao, who usually showed his cold face to others, also stood up. "Everyone, please support us!" "What support?" Zhu Ge immediately asked. "Come, no matter what, give a kiss first!" Someone immediately began to cheer. The class instantly erupted. Chapter 159 - A Strange Woman Zhao Nan sat in his seat and looked at Shen You, whose face was flushed red. A strange light flashed in his eyes. While the class was bustling with the couple, outside was bustling with a group of guests. In the corridor, a few parents, accompanied by the principal and the director of studies, were walking step by step towards the elite class. "President Ling, don''t worry. The quality of our elite class is absolutely not a problem!" The director of studies said solicitously beside a woman. The woman was wearing a pair of seven-centimeter high heel shoes, but she could still walk briskly. The principal was walking on the other side of the woman. But his gaze was sweeping over the man behind the woman. The man was wearing a dark suit and looked to be in his twenties. However, his calm and reserved appearance gave people an unfathomable feeling. Being guided by the director of studies, a few of them arrived at the entrance of the elite class. It so happened that they heard the noise in the class. The expression of the director of studies changed. He walked to the class entrance and knocked heavily on the door. "What are you doing?" The noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down. The students in the class were all taken aback. They subconsciously ran back to their respective seats and sat down. Shen You was also shocked. She looked in the direction of the director of studies and was attracted by the woman behind him. Shen You seemed to remember seeing that woman outside Ling Rui''s ward. But who was this woman? When she was at Ling Rui''s ward that day, this woman did not seem to have entered the ward. Shen You felt a little strange and stared at that woman. Huo Xiao also noticed that woman, but his expression became a little ugly. The director of studies hunched slightly and invited the woman and the man behind her into the class, introducing the class to them enthusiastically. The people in the elite class were all young masters and missies from various aristocratic families and corporations. They had never encountered such a thing. Seeing the woman looking at the crowd with a cold expression, the temper of these young masters and misses was rising. "Director Gui, is our elite class open to for visit by anyone?"A girl stood up and asked with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Director Gui immediately shouted at the girl coldly, "How can you talk to me in this manner?" "Director, long time no see. Your temper seems to be rising!" A few girls at the side also laughed. Director Gui had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. Towards the elite class, Director Gui had always flattered and fawned them as much as he could. No wonder the students of the elite class had never taken him, the director of studies, seriously. The principal looked coldly at Director Gui who was being bossed around and secretly sighed in his heart. If it was not due to his appointment by the higher-ups, he would have kicked this director of studies out from the school a long time ago. However... The principal sighed helplessly. He walked into the classroom and looked around at everyone. "Sit down properly! Director Gui has something to say!" With the principal''s words, the students obediently sat down. Director Gui immediately raised his head and looked at the students below. "From today onwards, our elite will change our bad habits!" "Today, Madam Ling is here to see how our elite class can be improved!" Director Gui continued to speak loudly. "So, you have to listen carefully!" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing where this woman came from. The woman walked up to the podium and looked at the elite class students in front of her. There was no expression on her cold face. "Elite class?" The woman''s voice sounded a little hoarse. "I think it''s impoverished class!" "How dare you call such a class elite class?" The woman looked at the students in the class. "Your school really disappointed me!" Hearing the woman''s words, the principal''s face changed. The director of studies said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! We will take note to rectify whatever you say!" Chapter 160 - The Star Class Seeing the director of studies behaving like a lapdog, all the students scoffed. Although the principal didn''t like it either, he couldn''t afford to offend the woman with her status. Thus he could only endure it. The principal stepped forward and said to the crowd, "Madam Ling is the school''s special advisor. Her goal is to build our Star Class." The crowd looked at the principal in confusion. "What is the Star Class?" "Of course it is..." Just as the director of studies was about to interrupt, the woman stopped him, knocking twice on the table. The principal did not speak. He just stared at the woman silently. The director immediately shut his mouth and waited obediently by the side. Everyone looked at the woman in unison. The woman stood upright and swept her gaze across the crowd. "The Star Class is to eliminate your sloppiness to be disciplined." When everyone heard this, their expressions became even uglier. "What did you say?" When had this group of young masters and misses ever received such an evaluation? They immediately slammed the table and were about to throw a tantrum. The director of studies puffed out his chest and was about to step forward to maintain order. However, the woman did not care and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Is that the only ability that you have?" Everyone was even more furious and wanted to throw the woman out. At this moment, Xie Xiao stood up, and the class instantly quieted down. The class monitor''s dignity was effectively displayed at this moment. Xie Xiao faced the woman and said, "We don''t care about the Star Class. As students of the elite class, we are proud of ourselves." After Xie Xiao said that, the class immediately burst into applause. The woman glanced at Xie Xiao and sneered, "It seems that you are the leader of this class?" Xie Xiao raised her chin and said, "I am the class monitor!" The smile of the woman deepened, but her words were very hurtful. "You don''t look like someone with a background. Your this class monitor is just doing odd jobs for them, right?" The woman''s words hit Xie Xiao''s sore spot. Indeed, ever since she became the class monitor, everything she did seemed like she was doing odd jobs for others. She never complained. It was not because she was willing, but because she wanted to show her worth in this class. However, this emotion that was originally well hidden was hit by the woman at this moment! Xie Xiao''s expression changed, but she did not know how to respond to the woman. Zhu Ge, however, stood up at this moment. "We believe in the class monitor. She is willing to think for everyone. That''s why we chose her to be the class monitor!" Hearing Zhu Ge''s words, Xie Xiao''s eyes inexplicably began to heat up. Although the students also felt that Xie Xiao was just a handyman, at this moment, they still felt that they had a common enemy, so they all followed suit. Shen You looked at that woman and felt that there was something wrong with her arrival. However, she couldn''t put her finger on it. She always felt that she had seen this woman not only outside Ling Rui''s ward but also in her previous life! "What''s wrong? Is it bothering you that you can''t remember?" The system''s voice suddenly sounded. Shen You was shocked. She hadn''t heard the system''s voice for a while, and this sudden change made Shen You think that she was hallucinating. "Why did you suddenly appear!" Shen You said impatiently. "It''s because you often forget me. I have to show up now and then to show that I''m around!" The system said matter-of-factly. "Did you just say that I should remember her?" Shen You asked. "Do you mean that I should know her?" Shen You asked tentatively. The system snorted and said, "Don''t try to trick me!" Shen You snorted and said, "It''s up to you!" Seeing that Shen You refused to communicate, the system lost its cool and said, "If you beg me, I''ll tell you!" "No, I won''t!" Shen You refused without hesitation. Chapter 161 - The Womans Past The woman stood on the podium and swept her gaze across the crowd. Her gaze fell on Shen You, who seemed to have lost her mind. The woman tilted her head slightly and looked at Shen You. She then said, "That girl whose gaze looks a little blurred, please stand up." Shen You did not pay attention to the woman as she was still in a tug-of-war with the system. Seeing this, Huo Xiao gently touched Shen You''s arm. Shen You immediately came back to her senses and looked at Huo Xiao. "What''s the matter?" Huo Xiao pouted his lips to the podium and said, "That woman called you." Shen You looked at the woman and saw that the woman was indeed looking at her. Although her gaze was a little unfamiliar, Shen You could recall who the woman was now. Shen You stood up, facing the woman. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Excuse me, what''s the matter?" The woman looked at the expression on Shen You''s face and asked, "Do you think I''m funny?" The corners of Shen You''s mouth curled up even higher. "No." "Then what are you smiling at?" The woman frowned slightly as if she was very dissatisfied with Shen You. Shen You did not hide her expression. Instead, her smile became even more flamboyant. "I just think you''re a little funny." "What do you mean?" The woman looked displeased. She looked at Shen You with a somewhat gloomy expression. "You want to create the so-called star class, but it''s just to find a way out for your failed life." Shen You''s expression turned cold, and she said coldly. "I''m sorry, we are human beings, not things that you can manipulate at will." Shen You looked at the woman with a gloomy gaze. The expression on the woman''s face became even more unsightly. "This is indeed an elite class. This kind of self-confidence which I don''t know where it came from is really touching!" Shen You looked at the woman, and the expression on her face became even more solemn. "Do you know why you failed?" "It''s because everything that you gave up was something that you could never get back even if you wanted to!" Shen You''s voice became even colder and harder. The woman''s entire body suddenly trembled, and the expression on her face became somewhat ugly. Seeing this, the man behind her gazed at Shen You, with his eyes full of anger. The director of studies saw that Shen you did behave, he angrily pointed at Shen You. "Go out and stand outside!" Shen You did not move. She only said to the woman, "Don''t try to change anyone else. You are not qualified!" The woman glared at Shen You. Her face turned pale. After Shen You said that she picked up her school bag and left the classroom without looking back. Zhu Ge saw this and could not help but clap. "You are indeed my idol!" Shen You walked out of the classroom and came to the field. She looked up at the sky. "Did I do... the right thing?" Shen You looked at the sky and asked softly. "Yes, you did!" The system immediately responded to Shen You. "But, if he knew..." Shen You lowered her head and said with some worry. "He won''t!" The system said affirmatively. "He never thought that his mother was still alive," the system comforted Shen You. "That person is just a terrible memory to him." "Maybe..." Shen You sighed, picked up her backpack, and walked out of the school. She didn''t want to get along with that person in that environment. Shen You could now recall the scene of her meeting that woman. That was in her previous life, at a funeral... The woman was wearing a black sequined dress attending her son''s funeral. The woman didn''t show any pain on her face when she saw the young man in his twenties lying in the coffin. At that time, Shen You, who was crying then, didn''t see the woman''s face clearly. However, her bossy attitude was exactly the same as what it was now! "So, people really don''t change!" Shen You sighed softly and walked out of the school gate towards her small park. She needed to give herself a moment to quiet down and think. Chapter 162 - Huo Xiao Did Not Come Along Shen You stayed in the small park for nearly half a day. When she returned to the coffee shop, it was already nighttime. As she had been late to make the cupcakes, Shen You directly rushed to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Xie Xiao was busy herself in the kitchen. Seeing Xie Xiao being busy in the kitchen, Shen You looked at Xie Chen and asked, "Sister Chen, what''s wrong with her?" Xie Chen shrugged and said, "She said looking at you, she wants to work hard and put in the effort. So she started to learn how to make cupcakes. Shen You frowned looking at Xie Xiao who was busy. She walked to Xie Xiao''s side and saw a huge eggshell being smashed into the bowl. "Stop!" Shen You stopped Xie Xiao when she was about to pour the sugar into the bowl. Shen You looked at the wasted ingredients in front of her with heartache and said to Xie Xiao, "Sister Xiao! I beg you to be merciful!" As Shen You spoke, she gently took over the sugar canister from Xie Xiao''s arms. She then pulled Xie Xiao and walked out step by step. When they reached the kitchen door, Shen You said to Xie Chen in the distance, "Sister Chen, please calculate the losses in the kitchen for this Missy." Xie Chen let out a laugh and walked to the kitchen door. Sure enough, she saw a mess. "I told her that she didn''t have the talent in this area but she didn''t believe me." Xie Chen shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly. "If not there weren''t many customers today, I wouldn''t dare to let her play in this manner!" Xie Chen said as she pulled Xie Xiao, who looked bitter, out Shen You began to tidy up the mess in the kitchen. Her gloomy mood seemed to have lightened quite a bit. A moment later, Xie Xiao walked into the kitchen and looked at Shen You with an expression of begging for forgiveness. "Let me help you clean up!" Shen You glanced at Xie Xiao and said, "If you want to learn, you can tell me!" Xie Xiao stood at the side and mumbled after a long while before saying to Shen You, "I saw that you''re in a bad mood today, so I wanted to help." Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and her heart instantly warmed. After a long while, Shen You finally opened her mouth, "Thank you!" The corners of Xie Xiao''s mouth curled up into a smile, and she said, "You don''t even know that after you left, that woman seemed to have gone crazy!" Xie Xiao told Shen You about the situation at that time. As Shen You''s words seemed to have hit the woman''s sore spot, her face turned gloomy. That woman had said some harsh words and even instructed the principal that if she could not train the class into her so-called Star Class, then she would never leave! Shen You suddenly thought of something. "Where''s Huo Xiao? He didn''t even chase after me after I left!" Shen You pouted as she spoke, feeling wronged. Xie Xiao couldn''t help but laugh when she saw this. "It''s not so. Huo Xiao did go after you!" "But just as he left, his mother came to check on him." Xie Xiao shrugged helplessly. "Huo Xiao''s mother seemed to be very familiar with that woman. In the end, her precious son was left behind to be taught a lesson." As Xie Xiao spoke, she rubbed her face with both hands. "Huo Xiao''s face looked like this at that time." Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s exaggerated expression and laughed as well. However, she did not expect that this woman and Huo Xiao''s mother actually knew each other. Thinking about it, it made sense. For her to appear at the door of Ling Rui''s ward, she must have some connection with the Ling family. Shen You did not know the identity of the woman, but she knew that this woman had caused the death of her good friend in her previous life! When Shen You thought about it, her gaze became a little gloomy. Xie Xiao watched from the side and asked Shen You, "Do you know that woman? I feel that you dislike her very much!" Shen You shook her head and said, "I don''t know her! I simply don''t like her being so arrogant and bossy." "But the things you said seem to hit the nail on the head!" Xie Xiao said and gave Shen You a thumbs up. Shen You smiled and did not respond. Chapter 163 - Found Qi Yu Shen You tidied up the kitchen and came out, but she still did not see Huo Xiao. It seemed that Huo Xiao had been brought home by his mother. Shen You was about to go back to her room to rest. When she picked up her phone to check, she realized that her phone had gone on silent mode. Now, there were 30 missed calls and more than 10 messages on her phone. Shen You quickly opened the missed calls and saw that they were all from Huo Xiao. Shen You quickly called back. But after waiting for a long time, Huo Xiao did not answer the call. Shen You thought about it and decided to go back to her room to charge her phone first. Today, Shen You felt like she was on the verge of running out of battery, and she felt depressed. Lying on the bed, Shen You thought for a moment and called out, "System, are you there?" The system immediately replied, "Yes! What''s the matter, dear?" Shen You sighed helplessly, "Can we not be like chatting on a certain platform?" "Doesn''t it sound friendly from the start?" The system said disapprovingly. "Also, System, can I not call you System?" Shen You thought for a moment and said, "I''ll give you a nice name, how about it?" The system immediately perked up, "Who told you I''m called System! I have a name, too!" "Ah? You have a name?" Shen You suddenly laughed. "Yes! I have a name too! It''s just that... I have forgotten!" The system said with some annoyance. "Forgotten? Why?" Shen You was a little surprised. The system seemed to be a little distressed, "I remember that I have a name, but I really can''t recall." Shen You thought for a moment, then said, "Don''t be sad! Since you''re with me now, let me give you a resounding name!" Although the system was still a little hesitant, in the end, it gave in. "Okay! You name it!" The system said generously. "What about ''SS''? But it doesn''t sound good!" After Shen You said that she shook her head. "Why don''t we call it ''TT''?" Shen You thought for a while, "Forget it!" "Or else ... call it Second System. What do you think?" Shen You said happily. "Second System? Why not Third System!" The system snorted unhappily. Shen You thought for a while, "Actually, that''s fine, too." The system couldn''t take it anymore and wailed softly, "I don''t want to be called Second System. Can you think of a proper name?" Shen You held her head with both hands and thought for a while before saying, "This is the most proper name, I think!" "Just accept it. It''s better than System. What do you think?" Shen You tried her best to convince the system to accept its fate. Just as the system was about to protest, Shen You continued, "Or else we''ll call it ''TT''." You choose!" The system seemed to be going crazy. Shen You comforted it, "I''m the one calling you anyway. Look, don''t you have to listen to my opinion?" "Are you feeling bad, so you came here to bully me?" The system seemed to have finally found the crux of the problem. Shen You chuckled, "Not really, I just want to get closer to you." The system snorted and said, "Do anything as you wish. After all, my mission is to let you live well." Shen You paused and said, "Thank you!" "What a surprise!" The system could not help but sigh. Shen You pursed her lips. "Second System, don''t go overboard!" The system humphed coldly and did not say anything else. Shen You lay on the bed for a long time before asking, "Second System, can I ask the whereabouts of the person I met in my previous life in this life?" "You want to ask about Qi Yu?" The system asked with understanding. "Yes! I think I saw his mother today!" Shen You said and sighed. "The person that he hated and missed for his whole life." Shen You smiled bitterly. "Okay, I''ll help you check.." The system said softly and did not reject. Chapter 164 - I Will Wait For A Lifetime Shen You lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. As the following day was a rest day, Shen You set off early in the morning to go to the location of Qi Yu that the system had found. Through the system''s prompt, Shen You arrived at a nursing home not far from the city. In her previous life, Shen You and Qi Yu met at the park in the middle of the street. Shen You had not expected that Qi Yu was living in a sanatorium. When she walked into the sanatorium, she was greeted by a smelly smell. Shen You covered her mouth and nose in discomfort, trying to get rid of this smell. During this period, the sanatorium had not been upgraded to a level where everyone could enjoy their lives. This place was now a place where the elderly and the orphaned lived. One could imagine the living conditions. Shen You walked in and wanted to ask a staff member, but she realized that there wasn''t any. Shen You had no choice but to walk in alone and search room by room. Many of these elderly were bedridden and looked very pitiful. Shen You walked past one by one and finally saw Qi Yu in a room near the end. At this moment, Qi Yu was leaning against the window frame with a book in his hand. He was reading to the old man sharing the same room. He was wearing the clothes from the sanatorium. His clothes, which had been washed until they became white, looked very refreshing on him. Shen You quietly listened to Qi Yu reading the book. His voice made people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. Shen You was a little infatuated with his voice, and she was also a little dazed when she looked at Qi Yu. Qi Yu finished reading a chapter and closed the book. He found the girl standing at the door. He looked at her in surprise with a confused expression on his face. Shen You suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She smiled apologetically at Qi Yu. Qi Yu nodded at Shen You and walked over. "Excuse me, what''s the matter?" Shen You looked at Qi Yu as if she was confirming something from his face. Qi Yu was a little embarrassed by her gaze and his face turned slightly red. "May I ask... Do you know me?" Shen You thought for a moment before saying, "I like your voice when you''re reading." Qi Yu''s face turned even redder when Shen You said that. "Then... then you can come over more often when you have time." Shen You nodded and immediately said to Qi Yu, "Can you accompany me for a walk?" Qi Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Wait for me for a moment." Qi Yu walked back to the bed and kept the books by the table. Then, he walked toward Shen You. "Let''s go!" Shen You followed Qi Yu to the open space outside the building. This sanatorium was located in the suburbs. There were some farmhouses and fields around it. The conditions were not good, but the environment was not bad. Shen You walked a few steps and said to Qi Yu, "When did you move in here?" Qi Yu thought for a moment and said, "When I was about 14 years old." "It has been five years now," Qi Yu said with a bitter smile on his face. "Why are you here?" Qi Yu looked at Shen You curiously. Shen You stood still and looked back at Qi Yu. "I''m looking for a friend." "Have you found your friend?" Qi Yu asked curiously. "Besides me, the rest seemed to be some grandparents here. Maybe your friend doesn''t live here," Qi Yu said with some awkwardness. "Maybe," Shen you said with a half-truth. "Haven''t you thought about leaving this place?" Shen You looked at Qi Yu and asked. Qi Yu shook his head and said, "I''m waiting for someone." "Waiting for someone?" Shen You raised her eyebrows. "Yes! She said that she would come and pick me up." Qi Yu revealed a bitter smile. "So, I''m waiting for her to come and pick me up." "If she doesn''t want to pick you up, are you going to wait for her for the rest of your life?" Shen You stared at Qi Yu and asked. Qi Yu nodded at Shen You. "Yes! I''ll wait forever!" Shen You looked at Qi Yu and wanted to say something, but she thought about it and gave up. Chapter 165 - Jealous After seeing Qi Yu, Shen You felt even more uncomfortable. When she returned to the coffee shop, she felt depressed. Xie Xiao was packing things when she saw Shen You walk back with a gloomy expression. She asked, "Why are you so depressed?" Shen You waved her hand and refused to say anything. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You strangely then turned to look at Xie Chen. "Sis, don''t you think she''s been very strange since yesterday?" Xie Chen also glanced in Shen You''s direction. "She seems a little strange." Shen You ignored the two of them and walked towards her room. Just as she entered her room, her phone suddenly rang. Shen You then remembered that she didn''t bring her phone with her when she left. Hearing the ringtone of her phone, Shen You quickly walked over and picked it up. "Hello?" Huo Xiao''s voice came from the other side of the phone. "You finally picked up!" Shen You was apologetic. "I''m sorry, I forgot to bring my phone out!" "Where did you go today?" Huo Xiao asked, puzzled. Shen You held her phone and leaned against the bed. "I went to see a friend today." "Friend?" Huo Xiao was a little surprised. "Your friend?" "Why? Can''t I have a friend?" Shen You asked, slightly angrily. Huo Xiao quickly explained, "No! What I mean is, you have friends other than us?" Shen You sighed lightly. "Maybe I didn''t previously, but now I do." Listening to Shen You''s words, Huo Xiao felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously asked, "A male or a female?" Shen You paused for a moment, then said, "Male." Huo Xiao''s voice immediately became high. "Where did you find a man?" Shen You could not help but roll her eyes. "I didn''t go to find a man!" "I just..." Shen You thought for a moment. "I just met someone, and we got along very well." Huo Xiao was still worried. "Where? Take me to see him!" Shen You snorted and said, "That won''t do! That place is far away!" "I''m not afraid of being far away!" Huo Xiao replied immediately. "Then can you come out?" Shen You asked on purpose. With one sentence from Shen You, Huo Xiao immediately shut up. Huo Xiao was secretly angry. He had wanted to chase after Shen You Yesterday, but his mother stopped him on the spot. It was still fine if he was stopped, but when he got home, he was grounded. Huo Xiao did not know what was wrong with his mother. No matter how much he asked or begged, his mother refused to let him out. Therefore, Shen You''s words directly hit the nail on Huo Xiao''s head. Huo Xiao was secretly angry, but there was nothing he could do. "You can''t get too close to that person." Shen You shrugged and said, "That wouldn''t be the case! At least the conditions don''t allow it." When Huo Xiao heard that, he almost fainted from anger. It was his turn that the conditions now did not allow him. Thus Huo Xiao could just give up. Shen You heard Huo Xiao''s sigh and smiled, then said, "Don''t worry! Nothing will happen between us." Huo Xiao seemed to heave a sigh of relief and asked, "You don''t sound happy." Shen You paused for a moment before saying, "There''s nothing to be unhappy about. It''s just that some of the things are different from what I have imagined." "So you''re feeling sad?" Huo Xiao''s voice sounded again. Shen You smiled and shook her head. "No! Actually, a lot of things haven''t changed. It''s just that I haven''t gotten over it." Huo Xiao listened to Shen You''s words and said after a long time, "If you''re feeling unhappy, you have to tell me." Shen You smiled at the phone. "If I tell you, will you make me happy?" "Of course!" Huo Xiao''s voice sounded very confident! Shen You smiled and said, "Okay, I''m tired. See you in school!" "Okay," Huo Xiao replied. "If there''s anything, you have to tell me." "Okay! I know! You''re so long-winded!" Shen You hung up the phone feeling a little impatient. Chapter 166 - Disaster Avoidance Coupon After the phone call with Huo Xiao, Shen You lay in bed, thinking about her past life. After seeing Qi Yu, she actually felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. It was just that at that time, she was more concerned about her background. In this life, her mentality was different, her thoughts were different, and her attitude towards things was different. She could even feel the faint luck value coming from Qi Yu. This was enough to prove that Qi Yu was still a luckier person than her. As for why Qi Yu ended up this way in the end, Shen You did not know. She could only see how it would go. However, a large part of the reason should have something to do with Qi Yu''s mother. Why did that woman abandon her son? Why did she treat her son this way? Shen You could not understand. However, this was a problem between Qi Yu and his mother. It would be better to solve it in the future. Shen You lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and called out, "Second System!" The system reluctantly replied, "This name is really unpleasant to hear!" Shen You smiled, "But it''s easy to remember and catchy!" "Speak! What did you call me for?" The system snorted unhappily. "Did my appearance change a lot?" Shen You looked at the ceiling and said faintly. "Although everything looks good now... but..." Shen You said and paused for a moment. The system did not hesitate to continue for Shen You, "There will always be good and bad, but many things are beyond our control." "Especially for many people, your so-called good or bad things may not be what they think," the system said sophisticatedly. Shen You listened to the system''s words, but her eyes gradually dimmed. "Something bad will really happen," Shen You said with some worry. "The world is not something that you can control," the system said slowly, sounding very philosophical. "As for you, you just have to be yourself and remember your purpose!" The system reminded her again. After this reminder, Shen You remembered now, "How are my beads going?" The system snorted, then said, "You still remember!" Shen You chuckled twice but did not reply. The system sorted out the current situation with Shen You, "As your relationship with Huo Xiao has been developing steadily recently, the luck value can also be considered abundant." "So you''ve already collected nearly two beads." The system told Shen You about the outcome. When Shen You heard this, her eyes lit up, "Then do I have something new to exchange for?" The system pondered for a moment, then said, "Currently, besides you can exchange for framing, beauty, and other things, you can also exchange to spy into the other party''s background..." "This is good! I want this!" Shen You said without hesitation. The system ignored Shen You and continued, "There are also disaster-avoiding exchange coupons and fortune-telling coupons." Shen You listened to the system''s introduction and frowned. If one were to talk about functionality, the last two seemed to be more useful. But in terms of skills, it seemed that spying on the other party''s background would allow Shen You to avoid some unnecessary trouble. Shen You was distressed at the side. The system did not urge her, only waiting quietly. After a long while, Shen You slapped her thigh. "I want that disaster avoidance coupon!" "Recently, my right eye has been twitching. Maybe there is some big disaster," Shen You said, choosing the disaster avoidance coupon without any hesitation. The system was also quick, completing the order with a "Ding". Shen You lay on the bed, thinking she could finally avoid the disaster and turn the situation around. Her legs could not help but shake. The system said coldly, "This coupon can only be used once.. Please use it discreetly." Chapter 167 - Go And See Him Shen You immediately sat up from the bed. "I can only use it once?" " Didn''t I say it''s an exchange voucher!" The system answered without feeling any guilt. Shen You''s face turned a little ugly. "You deliberately confused the public!" "You''re deceiving the consumers!" Shen You snorted discontentedly. The system ignored Shen You and pretended not to hear. "Second System! Come out!" Shen You growled in a low voice. "You come out!" Shen You growled. However, the system ignored her and treated her like air. Shen You sat on the bed and beat her chest. "Second System, just you wait. One day, I''ll exchange for a real body for you. I''ll beat you to death then!" Shen You said fiercely. At this moment, a light knock came from Shen You''s room door. Shen You looked towards the sound and saw the door gently open. A small head stuck in. "Are you okay?" Xie Xiao stuck her head out and looked at Shen You, who was sitting on the bed with a flushed face. Shen You shook her head and asked, "Is there anything?" Xie Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. She then said, "My sister said that she was worried about you. She asked me to come and see you." Shen You grinned and said, "I''ve made sister Chen worry! I''m fine!" "Oh!" Xie Xiao replied and then she said, "I think my sister''s mood hasn''t been good for the past two days. If you have time, please talk to her." "She listens to what you say." Seeing that Shen You was looking at her in confusion, Xie Xiao quickly added. Shen You nodded and said, "I know. I''ll talk to Sister Chen." Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and asked, "What else do you know about your sister''s previous boyfriend? Tell me, please." When Xie Xiao heard Shen You''s question, she immediately put on an angry expression and said, "That man is a b*stard!" "I heard from my parents that after he abandoned my sister, he still has the guts to come back!" Xie Xiao said. "If I find out who that b*stard is and where he is, I will tear him apart!" Xie Xiao said through gritted teeth. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s expression, she was somewhat worried. After all, with Xie Xiao''s strength, tearing apart Zhao Pu, who was currently lying on the hospital bed, should not be difficult. Shen You decided not to tell Xie Xiao that she had met Zhao Pu. She smiled at Xie Xiao and said, "Don''t worry. I will find time to talk to Sister Chen." Xie Xiao then left with a sigh of relief. Shen You tidied herself up and gave Zhao Nan a call. After confirming that the Zhao family''s parents would not be going to the hospital today, Shen You decided to bring Xie Chen along to see Zhao Pu. Shen You came to the bar counter and rested her chin on her hands. She looked at Xie Chen in front of her and asked, "Sister Chen, what are you doing tonight?" Xie Chen tilted her head slightly and glanced at Shen You. Then she said, "After tidying up in the shop, I''ll go back to do the accounts. There''s nothing else." Shen You thought for a moment and said, "Then can you accompany me to a place?" "Are you going out for fun? You can look for Xie Xiao! I don''t want to go out." Xie Chen smiled apologetically at Shen You Shen You shook her head and said, "I want you to accompany me to meet someone." Xie Chen''s paused for a moment before she continued with her work. She shook her head and said, "I don''t want to meet anyone." Seeing this, Shen You was a little anxious. "But he wants to meet you!" Xie Chen raised her head and looked at Shen You. "You might have misunderstood!" "The two of us cannot see each other again." The corners of Xie Chen''s mouth parted slightly, and her smile was a little reluctant. Shen You frowned. She crossed the bar counter and grabbed Xie Chen''s hand, saying, "No matter what, you have to talk over face to face!" Xie Chen struggled to refuse, but Shen You, who had already walked into the bar counter, pulled her out. Chapter 168 - He Had Always Been Alone Xie Chen was dragged out of the coffee shop by Shen You and came to the street corner. Xie Chen quickly grabbed Shen You and asked, "What are you going to do?" Shen You grinned at Xie Chen and said, "There are many things that if you don''t do, you will never know if you''re right." "So, I think, Sister Chen, it''s best for you to go and take a look yourself. It''s also better to let go of the worry in your heart. Isn''t that good?" Hearing Shen You''s words, the corners of Xie Chen''s mouth curled up slightly. Shen You was not in a hurry to urge her. She just stood at the side and waited quietly. Xie Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then, can you let me go back and change my clothes?" Shen You grabbed Xie Chen who was about to turn around and walk back. She shook her head and said, "Sister Chen, you''re so beautiful now!" The next sentence that Shen You said broke Xie Chen''s expectations. "Don''t think about running back!" Xie Chen felt a little helpless. She looked at Shen You with a bitter smile. "Why are you making things difficult for me?" Shen You thought for a moment before saying, "Sister Chen, I''m not making things difficult for you. That person said that he wants to see you." When Xie Chen heard this, she was stunned for a moment before a painful expression appeared on her face. "I don''t want to see him." Shen You sighed and said, "There might be some misunderstanding between the two of you!" Xie Chen shook her head. "There''s no misunderstanding..." Shen You grabbed Xie Chen''s hand and stared at her face seriously. "Sister Chen, give yourself another chance, okay?" Xie Chen was still hesitant. She stood where she was and refused to move. Shen You had no choice but to stand where she was and wait quietly. She knew that it wasn''t that Xie Chen didn''t want to see Zhao Pu, but she still didn''t know how to face him. Shen You waited and suddenly thought of something. She said to Xie Chen, "Sister Chen, do you know that he has always been alone?" Xie Chen looked at Shen You in surprise as if her words had provoked her. The corners of Shen You''s mouth curled as if she had found the crux of the problem. "For so many years, he has always been alone," Shen You explained softly to Xie Chen as she tentatively pulled Xie Chen forward. This time, Xie Chen did not resist. Instead, she followed behind Shen You step by step. Shen You pulled Xie Chen in the direction of the bus stop. She said softly, "As far as I know, he was forced to go abroad, but he has always been alone." Shen You thought about it. In her memory, Zhao Pu only got married many years later. She didn''t remember the exact date of Zhao Pu''s wedding. But at that time, Zhao Pu seemed to be almost 40 years old. It was said that before Zhao Pu got married, he didn''t have a girlfriend at all. At that time, many people envied his wife for her happiness and her husband''s faithfulness towards her. Shen You also seemed to have heard that when Zhao Pu and his wife got married, the two of them had only known each other for half a year. "Let''s go! I think if there''s anything, it''s best to explain it in person!" Shen You did not wait for Xie Chen to speak again and pulled her onto the bus. Xie Chen sat on the bus, looked at the scenery flying past the window. She knitted her eyebrows tightly all the way. Shen You could see that Xie Chen was uneasy. She held her hand and did not let go. When they arrived and went into the hospital building, Xie Chen seemed to hesitate again. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a figure blocked in front of them. "Shen You, why are you here?" Zhao Nan saw Shen You from afar and quickly walked over. Shen You looked at Zhao Nan and smiled. "I''m here to see Brother Zhao Pu." Zhao Nan saw Xie Chen and was stunned for a moment. He asked, "Sister Xie Chen, this is..." Shen You made a gesture of silence and said to Zhao Nan, "It''s a secret!" Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment, then only he realized. All these years, he often passed by the coffee shop. His eldest brother liked to sit in the coffee shop for a while. At that time, he didn''t know why his eldest brother liked that shop so much. He seemed to understand now. Chapter 169 - It Was Too Late Zhao nan nodded at Xie Chen and took the initiative to lead the way for the two of them. Over the years, Zhao Nan had suspected that there was someone in the coffee shop that Zhao Pu liked. However, every time he went to the coffee shop and mentioned Zhao Pu to Xie Chen, Xie Chen always seemed to be talking about a stranger. Due to this, Zhao Nan did not realize that Xie Chen might be that person. Zhao Nan secretly cursed himself for being stupid and brought the two of them to the ward. Shen You stood outside the door and did not walk in. Zhao Nan had wanted to push the door open and enter, but was pulled back by Shen You. Zhao Nan turned and glared at Shen You, only to see Shen You shake her head at him. Xie Chen gently pushed the door open and walked into the ward. In the ward, Zhao Pu was holding a book and carefully reading it. He noticed the sound of opening the door but ignored it. To take care of him, his family hired two nurses. Every day at this time, the nurses would come over and change some toiletries for him. Zhao Pu continued with his reading, lowering his head. Xie Chen took a step forward and stood in the distance, quietly looking at Zhao Pu. Seeing that there was no movement after the other party entered, Zhao Pu looked up. Then, his eyes froze. He looked at the face that he missed day and night. But at this moment, he did not know what to say. Looking at Zhao Pu''s stunning look and the injuries all over his body, Xie Chen felt a little heartache and helplessness. Under Zhao Pu''s gaze, she took a few steps in the direction of the hospital bed. When she was one meter away from the hospital bed, Xie Chen stopped. The two of them remained silent for a long time as they looked at each other. Suddenly, a series of violent coughs from Zhao Pu broke the silence in the ward. Xie Chen was shocked. She quickly rushed forward and patted Zhao Pu''s back to help him breathe. Zhao Pu gradually recovered from the cough. He raised his head and smiled apologetically at Xie Chen. "I hurt my lungs. I made you worry." Xie Chen quickly let go of her hand and stepped back. Zhao Pu''s hand, which was originally supporting Xie Chen, was now suspended in mid-air. He withdrew his hand somewhat helplessly and leaned against the hospital bed dejectedly. "Please sit down," Zhao Pu said as he raised his hand and pointed at a chair not far away. Xie Chen looked at the chair and hesitated for a moment before walking over. Xie Chen sat down on the chair and carefully sized up Zhao Pu. After a long while, she said, "Are you okay?" Zhao Pu nodded slightly. "I''m fine. What about you?" Xie Chen opened her mouth, but she hesitated. After a long while, Xie Chen asked, "Why did you come back?" With just one sentence, the atmosphere between the two of them returned to the freezing point. After a long while, Zhao Pu said, "I want to try again." Xie Chen looked up at Zhao Pu with doubt in her eyes. Zhao Pu raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling. "I want to give myself another chance." "In the past, I was too weak. I didn''t dare to face many things," Zhao Pu said softly as he looked at Xie Chen. "This time, I hope that I can use my efforts to take back everything that belongs to me," Zhao Pu said as he stared at Xie Chen. Xie Chen looked at Zhao Pu quietly as if she was not moved by his words. Zhao Pu was not in a hurry. He only waited quietly for Xie Chen''s reaction. After a moment, Xie Chen said, "Perhaps, everything has passed." When Zhao Pu heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. "You... What do you mean?" The corners of Xie Chen''s mouth twitched slightly. "Some things are already in the past. It''s too late to say anything now." "It''s getting late. I''m leaving now." Xie Chen stood up and was about to leave. "Xie Chen!" Zhao Pu was behind Xie Chen and shouted anxiously, "Can you give me another chance?" Xie Chen turned around and looked at Zhao Pu. "Take good care of yourself." After Xie Chen finished speaking, she ignored Zhao Pu''s shouts and opened the ward door, and walked out. The two eavesdroppers outside the ward were startled the moment they opened the door. They looked as if they had been caught at a crime scene. Xie Chen ignored the two of them and walked straight ahead. Chapter 170 - Let Bygone Be Bygone Shen You and Zhao Nan stood at the same spot and looked at each other in dismay. The sound of things being smashed could be heard from the ward. Shen You glanced at Zhao Nan, and Zhao Nan immediately rushed through the door. Shen You did not walk in. Instead, she chased after Xie Chen. Shen You caught up with Xie Chen and found that she was sitting alone in the garden pavilion. Shen You walked up and looked at Xie Chen who was staring at the stone bridge in a daze. "Sister Chen, how are you feeling?" Shen You looked at Xie Chen and asked. Xie Chen raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of the voice. "Xiao You, it''s you." Shen You sat next to Xie Chen and gently held her hand. "Sister Chen, are you okay?" Xie Chen shook her head and said, "I''m fine. I''m just recalling the past." Shen You looked at Xie Chen''s disappointed look and sighed, "I''m sorry. It''s my fault." Xie Chen quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no! You didn''t do anything wrong. It''s just that some things in the past are already over." Shen You looked at Xie Chen and wanted to ask something, but gave up after thinking about it. Shen You accompanied Xie Chen to sit in the pavilion for a while. The two of them did not say a word. Finally, Xie Chen stood up and faced Shen You. "Let''s go! We should go back now." Shen You saw Xie Chen''s calm smile again, but her heart ached. She nodded, stood up, and followed Xie Chen back. The two of them just walked. It was not a short distance, and they walked for about an hour. Shen You stayed by Xie Chen''s side the whole time. She did not say anything but just accompanied her quietly. It was not until they entered the coffee shop that Xie Chen turned to the bar counter and tidied herself up. Everything seemed to have resumed its original state. Shen You looked at Xie Chen and sighed helplessly before returning to her room. When Xie Xiao saw that the two of them had returned, she quickly caught up with Shen You. "Where did the two of you go so late at night?" Shen You sighed and did not answer. She just entered the room by herself. Seeing this, Xie Xiao chased after her. "Say something! Why do I feel that my sister is acting weird?" Shen You thought for a moment and said, "It''s my fault. I made sister Chen think of something bad." Xie Xiao frowned and looked at Shen You. "Something bad?" Xie Xiao thought about it and suddenly slapped her thigh. "Are you talking about my sister''s ex-boyfriend?" "You knew about it, didn''t you?" Xie Xiao stared at Shen You. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and nodded slightly. Xie Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me! Who is that b*stard?" Shen You saw that Xie Xiao was rubbing her fists and preparing to settle the score with the "bastard", she didn''t know where to start. Seeing that Shen You didn''t move, Xie Xiao looked at Shen You in confusion. "What''s wrong?" Shen You held Xie Xiao''s hand and said, "Sister Chen has never mentioned that man in the past few years, right?" Xie Xiao sighed. "Yeah! Why didn''t she say anything?" "Mom and Dad didn''t say anything either! It''s so worrying!" Xie Xiao mumbled. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao''s annoyed expression and frowned. "Why didn''t she say anything?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s expression and patted Shen You''s arm. "Tell me about that man!" "I think it''s better for Sister Chen to tell you herself," Shen You said hesitantly. "But..." Xie Xiao felt that Xie Chen wouldn''t say anything. Shen You thought for a moment and said, "When Sister Chen comes back later, we''ll..." Xie Chen packed her things from the coffee shop and returned to her room. It was already close to midnight. She pushed open her room door, turned on the dim light, and walked in. Just as she was about to close the door, Xie Xiao and Shen You appeared at the door. Xie Chen was shocked and looked at the two of them. "Why are you still up so late?" Xie Xiao and Shen You looked at each other. "Sister Chen, we want to talk to you." Xie Chen was a little surprised, but she stepped back. "Come in and talk." Xie Xiao and Shen You walked into Xie Chen''s room. Chapter 171 - Everything Will Be Fine The three of them sat down by the window. Xie Chen glanced at Xie Xiao and Shen You and said, "If you have something to say, just say it." Xie Xiao stared at Xie Chen and asked, "Sis, what''s happening with that man?" Xie Chen paused for a moment and said to Xie Xiao, "It''s all in the past." Xie Xiao was about to ask again, but Shen You stopped her. Shen You pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Chen, I think there''s some misunderstanding between you and that person?" Xie Chen shook her head. "There''s no misunderstanding. It''s just that the timing wasn''t right." Seeing this, Shen You''s expression changed slightly. "Perhaps you can give both parties another chance?" "I think it''s not the end yet between you and him." Shen You hesitated for a moment before saying. This was the first time she had tried to persuade someone this way. She felt that if Xie Chen missed this opportunity to get back together with Zhao Pu, she might not have another chance in the future. Shen You looked at Xie Chen and said softly, "Perhaps, you can let go of the hurdle in your heart and try again?" Xie Chen looked at Shen You. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I''m tired." Xie Chen then smiled at Shen You and said, "Don''t worry too much. I''m fine." "I just don''t want to experience what happened before," Xie Chen said to Shen You. "I want to rest. I''ll be too tired." Shen You could tell that Xie Chen was telling the truth about being tired. Ever since she came back from the hospital, Xie Chen seemed to have lost all her energy. Shen You looked at Xie Chen helplessly. "Sister Chen, we''ve disturbed you today, but I think you should think about it again." Xie Chen pursed her lips and smiled at Shen You and Xie Xiao. Shen You pulled Xie Xiao and quickly walked out of the room. Xie Xiao stood at the door and looked at Shen You. "Why didn''t you make it clear?" Shen You sighed and said, "Some people refuse to see it clearly. It won''t be clear no matter what you say." Xie Xiao looked at Shen You. She didn''t know where her old-fashioned look came from. Xie Xiao shook her head and said, "What do you mean? My sister refuses to understand?" Shen You looked at Xie Chen''s tightly shut door and pulled Xie Xiao back to her room. The two of them sat on the bed. Shen You said softly, "Your sister has a hurdle in her heart." "I''m not sure what it is, but it''s probably because that man left without saying goodbye," Shen You said, feeling unsure. Although she had heard about Zhao Pu in her previous life, she did not know much about him. After seeing Xie Chen and Zhao Pu meet today, Shen You felt that there was still something that she did not know. However, based on the current situation, it was better that they talk to each other face to face. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, thought for a moment, and said, "I think we should persuade Sister Chen to resolve this matter." "No matter what happens between the two of them in the future, at least, this matter doesn''t affect her anymore," Shen You said sincerely. Hearing Shen You''s words, Xie Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded. "My sister wasn''t like this in the past." "Although she''s very ladylike and gentle, she also laughed and played with me," Xie Xiao said and sighed. "But ever since the incident with that man, my sister has completely changed," Xie Xiao said and lowered her head slightly. "I feel that although she is still that gentle sister, she has lost the shine in her eyes." Xie Xiao said, looking very sad. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao and reached out her hand. She gently patted her arm. "Everything will be fine." Xie Xiao looked up at Shen You. "What do you think if we bring that man over?" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, feeling it was difficult. Zhao Pu''s current conditions made it difficult for him to move. Looking at what happened when Zhao Pu and Xie Chen met today, things might not progress much if they rashly arrange another meet-up. Chapter 172 - Live Signboard Xie Xiao and Shen You chatted the whole night, but there was no progress at all. Shen You knew that this matter could not be rushed. But she could not bear to see Xie Chen become more depressed each day. Shen You called Zhao Nan early in the morning to ask about Zhao Pu''s condition. Zhao Nan was a little helpless and said that he would see her at the coffee shop later. Zhao Nan came to the coffee shop and saw Xie Chen. He was about to greet Xie Chen when he saw Xie Chen but she turned her face away as if she had no intention to talk to him. Zhao Nan was helpless. He found a seat and sat down. After informing Shen You that he had arrived, Zhao Nan sat on the seat and waited quietly. As the seat was near to the window, many girls passed by and saw Zhao Nan from outside. They either smiled shyly and left quickly, or they simply pushed the door open and walked into the coffee shop. Zhao Nan ignored the girls and waited by himself. Shen You came out from inside and saw that the coffee shop seemed to be quite full today. Looking at the girls glancing at Zhao Nan from time to time, Shen You couldn''t help but snicker. It seemed that this Zhao Nan could be used as a living signboard! Speaking of Zhao Nan, he was indeed a rare school hunk figure in the school. He was different from Huo Xiao. Although both of them were the type that made girls scream... Huo Xiao was too cold. He always gave people the feeling of keeping a distance from him. However, Zhao Nan was different. His whole body exudied a kind of warm energy, making people feel that he was full of vitality. If it were not for the grudges in her previous life, Shen You would probably still choose to be close to Zhao Nan in this life. At least, he gave people a warm feeling... He gave the strangers a feeling of... Zhao Nan seemed to feel Shen You''s gaze. He turned to look at Shen You, and their gazes met. Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment. He wanted to avert his gaze, but after a moment of hesitation, he still didn''t move. Shen You looked at Zhao Nan and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She walked over and said, "What? You attracted a group of little girls here." "You can come to the shop as a live signboard in the future. Xie Xiao will definitely worship you!" Shen You said sincerely. Zhao Nan snorted and did not respond to Shen You. Shen You found it boring and sat down in front of Zhao Nan. When she sat down, people around them were whispering. Shen You raised her eyebrows and said to Zhao Nan, "Looks like I have been blacklisted by many." Zhao Nan couldn''t be bothered with Shen You''s words and only said, "My brother didn''t sleep at all last night." Shen You''s gaze swept over Xie Chen''s direction. "I think it''s the same for Sister Chen." Zhao Nan gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think it''s good to provoke them this way?" Shen You shook her head and said, "I''m not trying to provoke them." "I just think that it''s more important to talk over many things," Shen You said sincerely. "Even if they can''t be together in the end, it''s better not to let the misunderstanding remain between the two of them," Shen You said and looked at Zhao Nan. "What do you think?" Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and his eyes darkened slightly. "I somehow feel that you''re different from before." Shen You smiled. "Of course! I''ve grown up! I''ve matured!" Zhao Nan heard Shen You''s words and snorted. "Forget it! Let''s get back to the main topic!" "Then what do you plan to do next?" Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and asked. For Zhao Nan, Zhao Pu''s matter was the most important. However, he did not know how to persuade Zhao Pu. Thus he could only ask for Shen You''s opinion. He couldn''t tell his parents about this matter. Thus he could only discuss it with Shen You secretly. Shen You thought for a moment and leaned forward slightly. "I want you to bring Brother Zhao Pu to the coffee shop!" "What?" Zhao Nan immediately leaned back. "That''s impossible!" Chapter 173 - Everything Was Wrong Shen You did not look not anxious. She just leaned back in her chair and looked at Zhao Nan quietly. Zhao Nan pondered for a while before saying, "My parents definitely won''t allow it!" "Moreover, with my brother''s current condition," Zhao Nan said. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Shen You shook her head and said, "Of course it''s not now!" Zhao Nan frowned and looked at Shen You. "Then what you''re saying..." Shen You briefly explained her plan to Zhao Nan. At this moment, no one knew the crux of the problem between Xie Chen and Zhao Pu. So, they could only keep exploring. It was not that the two of them no longer had any feelings for each other. They were extremely affectionate towards each other instead. It was so-called ''love well, whip well''. For how deep the love was when it began, the hatred would be equally deep after a misunderstanding. Shen You had never been hurt like this before, so she didn''t know how to persuade Xie Chen. However, Zhao Pu probably knew the crux of the problem. Moreover, he was also willing to solve such a problem. If Zhao Pu could take the initiative to solve all these problems, it seemed that all the problems would be solved. However, with Zhao Pu''s current physical condition, he was still unable to walk as normal. Under the close surveillance of his parents, it was even more difficult for him to leave the hospital. Therefore, the most urgent task in the meantime was to get Zhao Pu to tell them the problem so that everyone would think of a solution together. If this continued, Xie Chen would probably choose to leave before Zhao Pu recovered. Shen You remembered that when she came back last night, she seemed to have seen Xie Chen making a plan to go abroad. If the plan materialized, it would be difficult for the two of them to meet again in this lifetime. After Shen You finished sharing her thoughts, Zhao Nan was a little hesitant. It was not that he had never asked his eldest brother about these things, but it seemed to be painful for them. It was indescribable and could not be resolved. Zhao Nan did not know if it would work if he asked again. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and said softly, "I''ll try it out. Whether it works or not, it''s up to them." Shen You nodded and said, "We''ll just do it. As for the outcome, we''ll leave it to God!" Zhao got up to leave. Just as he took a few steps, Zhao Nan turned around again. "Shen You, I think you''ve changed." "Oh? How have I changed?" Shen You tilted her head and looked at Zhao Nan. "You''ve become more..." Zhao Nan thought about his words. "You''re more sensible now!" Shen You couldn''t help but roll her eyes, then she grinned at Zhao Nan. "That''s because you''ve never known me." Hearing Shen You''s words, Zhao Nan was instantly stunned. That''s right! When had he ever seriously got to know Shen You? Ever since he found out about the engagement between the two of them, Zhao Nan had been avoiding this girl who grew up in the countryside. He hated the environment she grew up in. He hated the way she spoke. He hated the way she followed behind him all day long, the way she fawned on him. He hated everything about her! Zhao Nan was thinking about the things that happened when they were together. At that time, Shen You fawned on him just so that they could get closer. Every single thing Shen You did was to make Zhao Nan feel good. However, at that time, Zhao Nan despised and hated all these. Zhao Nan looked at the bright smile on Shen You''s face and was slightly moved. However, everything seemed to be too late. They had broken off the engagement and Shen You was with Huo Xiao now. Zhao Nan suddenly thought of Zhao Pu. He could not let Zhao Pu also miss the person who was most worth cherishing to him! Zhao Nan took a deep look at Sheng You, turned around, and left. Shen You did not speak again, only quietly watching Zhao Nan leave. Xie Chen was right... The wrong timing, the wrong person, everything would be wrong in the end! Chapter 174 - Dungeon Mission After Zhao Nan Left, Shen You sat alone on the sofa and looked at everything outside the glass window. Initially, Shen You had thought that if she knew something that others did not know, then she could avoid many problems. She could also solve a lot of problems. However, from the perspective of Zhao Pu and Xie Chen, Shen You was still too naive! The feelings between people were not as simple as they seemed. Too many things were not just black and white, but more were plausible. Shen You did not know if her sudden involvement would have any effect on Xie Chen and Zhao Pu. Maybe she was too meddlesome... While Shen You kept denying herself, the system suddenly appeared. "New mission alert!" Shen You was shocked and almost jumped up from the sofa. After she reacted, her eyes widened. "What''s going on? You scare me every day!" The system did not seem to care, "It doesn''t matter, no one can hear our conversation anyway." Shen You silently cursed a few times before asking, "What new quest is there?" The system chuckled, "Congratulations, you''ve activated the dungeon mission!" Shen You could not help but roll her eyes, "I have a dungeon mission?" The system laughed even more happily, "Completing the dungeon mission can increase your luck value, aren''t you happy?" "Mm." Shen You then replied perfunctorily, "How much luck value can I have?" "At least one-third of a pearl!" The system said straightforwardly. When Shen You heard that her eyes immediately lit up, "Really?" "Then tell me quickly! What mission is that?" Shen You asked anxiously. "Didn''t you just look like you don''t like it?" The system snorted and was a little dissatisfied. "Why would I dislike it! I will do my best!" Shen You promised loudly. The system finally let Shen You go and briefly introduced the new mission. The important content of the mission was set around Xie Chen. "The target of this mission is Xie Chen," the system explained in detail, "She refused to communicate with Zhao Pu for a particular reason." "So, your current mission is to find this reason and solve it!" After the system finished, it didn''t forget to ask, "Am I treating you well?" Shen You could not help but laugh. Indeed, she was treated very well! This was exactly what she was going to do next. It was also the system that gave her an additional reward of luck value. What a considerate system! Shen You thought for a moment and asked, "Then, what are the hints for this mission?" When Shen You asked this, her mind already started to plan how to solve this mission. At the moment, she had no clue at all. However, since the system had stepped in to solve this problem, it should at least give her some hints. Shen You thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Xie Chen''s secret should be revealed by herself?" The system did not respond. Shen You was a little annoyed, "You said you gave me a mission, didn''t you have any hints for me?" The system still did not make a sound. Just as Shen You was about to start a fight with the system, Huo Xiao''s call suddenly came in. Shen You was stunned for a moment and picked up the phone. "Hello! What''s the matter?" Huo Xiao was shocked by Shen You''s anger. "Do you have time? Let''s meet at the park in the middle of the street." Shen You was a little puzzled as to why Huo Xiao did not come to the coffee shop directly. However, she thought about it and decided that she had better go out for a walk. Shen You took a breath and walked to the bar counter to greet Xie Chen. She then turned around and left. Before she left, Shen You took another look at Xie Chen. Xie Chen looked as calm as ever. Shen You found it hard to imagine what Xie Chen was thinking and what she actually wanted? Chapter 175 - Auntie Shu Qing Shen You came to the place she had agreed to meet with Huo Xiao. However, Huo Xiao was not there. Feeling a little irritated, Shen You picked up the phone and dialed Huo Xiao''s number. The phone rang for a while, but no one picked up. Shen You was getting even more impatient. Just as she was about to call him again, she saw Huo Xiao walking over from afar. "Long time no see." Huo Xiao smiled at Shen You. Shen You tried hard to control her temper. "It''s just two days!" Huo Xiao shook his head and said, "You''re not in a good mood today." Shen You tried hard to calm down the anger that surged in her heart and said, "No, it''s just that some things are annoying." Huo Xiao gave Shen You an unfathomable look and said, "I have a secret. You might want to know." Shen You turned her head to look at Huo Xiao. "What secret?" Huo Xiao smiled. "Let''s go. We''ll talk when we get in the car!" Shen You was a little confused, but she still followed Huo Xiao and left. When they came to a sports car, Shen You was surprised to see there was no driver! "This... You will drive, or me?" Shen You looked at the car in front of her. "I don''t have a driving license!" Huo Xiao patted his chest. "I''m driving! I already have my driving license!" Shen You could not help but comment, "So old!" Huo Xiao pretended not to hear her and opened the car door for Shen You. The two of them got into the car. They then traveled from the city to a small house in the suburbs. This house was built with bamboo. It was small and exquisite. This place did not look inhabited. It was more like a temporary rest place for tourists. Huo Xiao took out some food and drinks from the car and went to the front of the small house with Shen You. There were two large words in front of the house. The words ''Bamboo Garden'' were the name of the house. "It really lives up to its name!" Shen You could not help but sigh. The two of them walked into the house and saw the bamboo garden and the bamboo bridge. It seemed to be a completely different world from the outside world. Shen You took a deep breath. It seemed that she could feel the fresh smell of bamboo. Huo Xiao led Shen You inside. After walking for about two to three minutes, they arrived at a bamboo pavilion. A person was already sitting in the pavilion. Shen You looked carefully and found out it was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Shen You frowned as she looked at the woman. She felt a little familiar. Huo Xiao led Shen You forward to the front of the woman. The woman heard the noise and turned to look at Shen You. Shen You looked at the woman carefully. "Have we met before?" The woman stood up and smiled gently at Shen You. "We often met when you were young." Shen You frowned as she looked at the woman. She could not recall where she had seen her before. Shen You shook her head. "I''m sorry, I can''t remember..." The woman smiled and gently put her hand on Shen You''s shoulder. "You were still young at that time. Your grandmother often brought you to my house." Shen You was trying hard to recall when she suddenly remembered something. "Auntie Shu?" The smile on the woman''s face deepened. "You remember now!" Shen You nodded and said with some grievance, "I remember Grandma said that you moved away, and then I couldn''t see you anymore!" Shu Qing gently pulled Shen You into her arms with a gentle smile on her face. "Yes! You''ve grown so big all of a sudden!" "Auntie Shu, why are you here?" Shen You asked in a puzzle. Shu Qing gently let go of Shen You and pulled Shen You to sit down on the bamboo chair in the pavilion. "There were some changes in the family back then, so we left." Shu Qing said softly. "After that, a few years later, I went back and found that your grandmother had passed away, and you..." Shu Qing said with a slight frown, "You were also brought back home by the Shen family." Shen You nodded and said, "A few years after my grandmother passed away, the Shen family found me." "At that time, as there was no one else in the family, and the Shen family said that I was their child, so they took me away forcefully," Shen You said with some grievance. Shu Qing thought for a moment and looked up at Huo Xiao. "I have something to say to Shen You, can you..." Huo Xiao understood and said immediately, "I''ll stay away. You guys go ahead!" Chapter 176 - I Want To See You After Huo Xiao left, Shen You and Shu Qing held hands and sat on the bamboo chair. "I heard from the neighbors that the Shen family went to look for you." Shu Qing looked at Shen You with heartache. "Your grandmother took good care of you. I didn''t expect the Shen family to make you suffer," Shu Qing said and sighed. Shen You shook her head and said, "Not really! We''re just not used to each other!" "Did your parents treat you badly?" Shu Qing asked softly. Shen You hesitated for a moment, not knowing if she should tell the truth. Shu Qing encouraged softly, "It''s okay. If you have anything to say, tell Auntie Shu." Shen You thought for a moment before nodding. "I don''t understand. Since they think that Shen Jiao is their daughter, why did they bring me home?" Shu Qing looked at Shen You, who was trying her best to hold back her tears. Her eyes were slightly red. "Child, don''t feel wronged. There are many things that you don''t know." Shen You looked at Shu Qing. "Auntie Shu, did you know something?" Shu Qing sighed and said, "Things are a little complicated. It''s not something that you need to know." "I heard from Huo Xiao that you''ve moved out of the Shen family. That''s Good!" Shu Qing said briefly. Shen You felt that Shu Qing had something to say, but she didn''t say it out loud. She knew that she couldn''t urge her, but she also felt that it was uncomfortable to keep it in her heart this way. Shen You thought for a while and said, "Auntie Shu, I''m actually not a child of the Shen family, right?" Shu Qing looked at Shen You in surprise. "Why do you have such thoughts?" Shen You hesitated for a moment before saying, "I always feel that Dad and Mom don''t like me!" "The way they look at me is very strange." Shen You lowered her head slightly. She didn''t care about the Shen family''s attitude towards her now, nor did she care about their thoughts. But in the end, it was still a family. Having such emotions made her feel very uncomfortable! Shu Qing looked at Shen You with her heart aching. "Don''t be afraid. The truth will reveal one day." "You shouldn''t be the one to bear these things!" Shu Qing patted Shen You''s shoulder gently. "The reason why I came to see you today was to see if you''re doing well," Shu Qing said. "Come to Auntie''s house when you have time." Shen You had a feeling that Shu Qing''s appearance was not as simple as she had said. If she only wanted to see if she was doing well, why didn''t she come to the Shen family directly to look for her? Why did she have to go through Huo Xiao instead? Shen You had a feeling that something was not quite right. But at the moment, she could not figure it out. Shen You furrowed her brows in annoyance. Shu Qing could see Shen You''s emotions and said softly to Shen You, "Huo Xiao is a very good child." "He heard about your life in the countryside, so he went there to look for people and things related to your childhood," Shu Qing said with a smile on her face. "I can see that he cares about you very much," Shu Qing said sincerely. "So... He''s the one who found you?" Shen You asked curiously. Shu Qing shook her head and said, "I found him." "I wanted to see you, and he just happened to come to ask about you," Shu Qing said with a smile. "So I let him be the guide." Shen You nodded in understanding. "Then, Auntie Shu, are you still living over there? Can I go and see you?" Shen you grabbed Shu Qing''s hand and asked. After so many years, she didn''t have any relatives. Auntie Shu was considered a very close person to her! Shu Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay! I will wait for you at the old house over there!" Shen You''s face finally broke into a smile. Huo Xiao stood in the bamboo garden and waited quietly, but his heart was perturbed. He did not know what he did was right or wrong.... Chapter 177 - Shen Yous Background After parting with Shu Qing, Shen You and Huo Xiao drove away from Bamboo Garden. On the way, Shen You remained silent. Huo Xiao did not dare to say anything and could only drive quietly. After a long while, Shen You suddenly said, "Stop the car. I want to rest for a while." Without delay, Huo Xiao drove the car down the driveway and parked it in an open space. Shen You pushed the car door open and got out of the car. She quietly walked toward the empty space in front of her. Huo Xiao locked the car door and followed behind Shen You. The two of them walked one after the other until they reached the side of the forest road not far away. Shen You stood still and turned to look at Huo Xiao. "Do you know who Auntie Shu Is?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You without saying anything. "You do know, don''t You?" Shen You asked again. Huo Xiao still didn''t say a word. He just looked at Shen You. With a self-deprecating smile, Shen You shook her head. She leaned against a tree and slowly closed her eyes. Shen You was surprised and shocked by Shu Qing''s appearance. In her previous life, Shen You didn''t see Shu Qing again. Instead, she heard about Shu Qing''s identity from others. Shu Qing was not her original name. Her real name should be Li Shuqing. In Shen You''s memories, Shu Qing often appeared by her side since she was young. She even treated her as her mother. In reality, she was her mother''s half-sister. Shen You''s surprise at seeing Shu Qing for the first time and her thoughts along the way made Shen You feel that things were not as simple as she had thought. Huo Xiao could see that Shen You was not in the right state. He wanted to comfort her, but he did not know how. "I just know that she has some relationship with your mother. As for the details..." Huo Xiao wanted to explain. Shen You shook her head and said, "It''s okay. I won''t blame you. It''s just that there are some things that I haven''t figured out yet." Shu Qing had always appeared beside the young Shen You. Then, she suddenly left without saying goodbye. And then, many years later, she actually appeared in front of Huo Xiao. Shen You could only feel that there seemed to be some hidden secrets that she didn''t know. Shen You couldn''t figure it out, nor did she understand why all of this was happening. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s distressed look and felt a little heartache. There were still some things in his heart that he didn''t know how to tell Shen You. Shen You''s background seemed to have been deliberately hidden. As a result, Huo Xiao''s mother stopped Huo Xiao from getting close to Sheng You a few times. It seemed that Huo Xiao''s mother also knew some insider information. Shen You sobered up a little and walked towards Huo Xiao. "Let''s go back. It''s getting late." Huo Xiao did not refuse and the two of them returned to the car. Shen You sat in the car and closed her eyes without saying a word. Huo Xiao sighed deeply. He started the car and drove home. He did not know if he was doing the right thing. He did not even know if he was hurting Shen You. Huo Xiao was a little annoyed, but he could not solve it. They drove all the way back to the coffee shop. Shen You did not say a word. She got out of the car and went straight into the shop. Huo Xiao did not follow her. He just quietly watched Shen You''s back as she left. Maybe he really did something wrong this time. Shen You returned to her room and threw herself on the bed, trying to wake herself up. Today, Huo Xiao took her to see Shu Qing. Shen You always felt that someone was deliberately arranging it. Who was the one who dug out these secrets? And who was the one who made Shen You have to face things that she did not want to face! Yes, Shen You had actually noticed that her background seemed to be a little different, but now she only wanted to live well! She didn''t want to participate in any intrigue or grudges between rich and powerful families! For Shen You, living in peace was her only wish now! Could it be that even such a small wish was difficult to fulfill? Chapter 178 - Shen You Is Not The Daughter Of The Shen Family? Shen You lay on the bed, trying her best to suppress herself and not to scream. Shen You was not a fool. It was not that she did not remember and think about every encounter she had. However, for Shen You, her past life had been too hard. She only hoped that she could live a simpler life this time! "Don''t you understand? You need to straighten everything out before you can truly live comfortably!" The system''s voice faintly sounded. Shen You opened her eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling in front of her. "Second System, does life have to be so full of disasters?" The system''s voice sounded immediately. "Not everyone''s life is so exciting!" Shen You''s expression became gloomy and sad. "I don''t want anything exciting, I just want simple happiness!" The system sighed and said, "Your goal now should be to live..." "Then why do so many things bother me?" The more Shen You thought about it, the sadder she became. The system sighed again. "These are the reasons why you can''t live well!" "I''m not going to beat around the bush with you. I just want to know, how can I get rid of these things?" Shen You yelled impatiently. "You can''t get rid of them!" The system replied mercilessly. "These are the trajectories of your life. You have to accept them!" the system repeated. "Just like you in your previous life. You accepted fate and the arrangements of life," the system said simply. "But, you didn''t avoid the bad luck that they brought!" "So, I hope that you can figure out what it means to live a simple and happy life!" the system''s voice sounded a little disappointed. Shen You closed her eyes again. Her mind was in a mess. Huo Xiao returned home, sat at his desk, and hesitated with his phone. The Shen You today was very different from the Shen You in the past. She revealed too much unwillingness and sadness in front of him. The pain in Huo Xiao''s heart was indescribable. And most importantly, the one who brought Shen You this pain was himself! Huo Xiao did not go downstairs for dinner, which made Lin Shu a little anxious. She knocked on Huo Xiao''s door and waited for a response before pushing it open and walking in. "Why aren''t you eating? Are you not feeling well?" Huo Xiao shook his head, still full of thoughts. Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao and frowned deeply. "It''s because of... the girl from the Shen family?" Huo Xiao looked up at Lin Shu. "Mom, do you know about Shen You?" Lin Shu frowned even more. "I have advised you not to get involved in that girl''s matter!" "The status of our Huo family is different. This kind of thing will only tarnish the Huo family''s reputation!" Lin Shu emphasized again. Huo Xiao looked at Lin Shu and for the first time, he felt that this kind of mother was a little strange. "Mom, you''ve never talked about the Huo family''s reputation before." Huo Xiao looked at his mother with disappointment. Lin Shu paused for a moment and then said, "This time, it''s different!" "Son, you have to remember to stay away from the Shen family!" Lin Shu could not help but remind him. She reached out and gently put her hand on Huo Xiao''s shoulder. "There are many things that are not as simple as you think." "I don''t want you to get involved in this. And I don''t want you to be hurt!" Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao and said with heartache. Huo Xiao paused for a moment and then asked again, "Is it because Shen You is not the daughter of the Shen family?" Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao in surprise. She did not expect him to know about this. "How... How do you know?" Huo Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Because she''s the one I like." Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao''s affectionate expression and suddenly felt that her son had grown up! Chapter 179 - Bad Luck Again Huo Xiao and Lin Shu chatted for a while. Seeing that Huo Xiao could not be convinced, Lin Shu gave up. Lin Shu was a carefree person. She felt ashamed of what the Shen family had done. However, this was somehow the matter of other people. Lin Shu just did not want her son to get involved. Huo Xiao could understand Lin Shu''s painstaking efforts. However, since he was with Shen You, he would not give up on Shen You for anything. Lin Shu returned to her room and saw that her husband was already sleeping soundly on the bed. She was even more furious. She climbed onto the bed and slapped her husband who was sleeping soundly. Lin Shu finally let out a sigh of relief when she heard a scream and saw him sit up. She then lay down and slept soundly. The following morning, Huo Xiao rushed out of the house without even having breakfast. Lin Shu looked at Huo Xiao''s back and couldn''t help but sigh. "Sigh, he''s grown up now!" Huo Xiao rushed to the school and waited for Shen You at the school gate. Shen You tidied up her things listlessly. The moment she left the house, she was dirtied by a garbage truck that had just passed by. The driver of the garbage truck didn''t fasten the lock. This caused the garbage to fall to the ground. Shen You happened to pass by and was instantly covered in garbage. Shen You stood where she was and stared blankly at the driver who opened the door and ran out. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry! Miss, are you okay?" The driver looked at Shen You''s dirty appearance with an apologetic expression. Shen You shook her head. "I''m fine..." After Shen You said that she turned around and ran into the coffee shop. The driver raised his hand and shouted, "Do you want me to pay for your clothes..." Shen You left the driver''s words behind her. She quickly rushed into the bathroom, changed her clothes, and took a shower again. Finally, she was done. Shen You walked out of the bathroom and frowned. "Why are you having bad luck again?" "It''s all your fault!" The system said bluntly. Shen You asked unhappily, "Why are you blaming me again?" "If you hadn''t started to resist Huo Xiao, why would this happen?" The system pointed out the crux of the problem. Shen You was stunned. "I didn''t do anything! Can''t I just think about it?" The system immediately replied, "Don''t even think about it!" Shen You was helpless. "Can''t I have an emotional reaction?" The system mercilessly replied again, "Yes, you can! Then accept the punishment that you deserve!" Shen You sighed slightly and asked, "Where''s Huo Xiao?" "Waiting for you at the school gate!" The system gave a prompt. Shen You accepted her fate and changed her clothes, rushing to the school. Sure enough, Huo Xiao had been waiting at the school gate the whole time. When he saw Shen You, he immediately ran over. "Shen You, you''re finally here." When the surrounding students saw this, they all lowered their voices and whispered to each other. Shen You and Huo Xiao did not care about what others thought. After all, the two of them had been through a lot. However, Shen You did not expect Huo Xiao to wait at the school gate. "Why are you looking for me?" Shen You looked at Huo Xiao and asked. The two of them walked into the school together. Shen You walked ahead of Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao hesitated for a long time before saying, "I''m sorry! I shouldn''t have..." Shen You turned her head slightly and looked at Huo Xiao. "It''s not your fault." Hearing Shen You''s words, Huo Xiao was even more conflicted. "If it wasn''t for me, you wouldn''t have to..." "No! Sooner or later, it''s going to explode." Shen You pouted at Huo Xiao, looking a little reluctant. Huo Xiao reached out and grabbed Shen You''s hand. "I''ll be with you through this." Shen You struggled slightly but did not break free from Huo Xiao''s hand. Only then did she say, "Thank you." Huo Xiao tightened his grip on Shen You''s hand. He had no intention of letting go. Chapter 180 - Another System Ever since the woman with the surname ''Ling'' came because of Star Class, the atmosphere of the elite class seemed to have undergone a 180-degree change. Everyone had their own desk now, and there was a distance of about 30 cm in between the desks. According to the woman, this was to maintain a safe distance. The originally lively atmosphere after class had now become silent. This was to avoid being monitored by the cameras installed in the four corners of the classroom. Shen You walked into the classroom and sat down in her seat. Although she had changed her seat, Zhu Ge was still sitting behind Shen You. Zhu Ge saw Shen you walk in with a gloomy expression. "Idol, you''re here." Shen You nodded and did not say anything. Huo Xiao walked past Shen You''s seat and came to his seat. He threw the rose on his desk to the ground. It had been three days in a row that a white rose would appear on Huo Xiao''s desk. Everyone was guessing who had placed the rose. There were even people who wanted to secretly check the surveillance cameras to see who was so daring. However, a strange thing happened. The surveillance cameras did not record any images of the rose when it was placed. Therefore, the legend of the class being haunted was born. Huo Xiao did not believe in the legend of ghosts. He only knew that someone was playing a prank. Although Shen You''s experience was special, she never thought that something supernatural would happen. One day, after the lunch break, a red rose suddenly appeared on Shen You''s desk. Many people were in the class, but no one noticed who placed the rose on Shen You''s desk. The rumors of the class being haunted became more and more aggressive. Shen You held the rose and looked at it again and again, but the corners of her mouth curled up into a mocking smile. "System, what''s going on?" The system didn''t respond for a long time. After a long time, it said, "This doesn''t seem like a simple prank." "What do you mean?" Shen you frowned, and her tone became fierce. The system replied again, "I can feel that there''s another power." "I''m not sure what form this power is in and what it wants to do," the system said hesitantly. Shen You was a little surprised when she heard this, "You don''t know?" The system paused for a moment before saying, "Maybe there''s another system." Shen You''s eyes immediately widened, "You mean, someone was reborn like me?" The system hesitated for a moment, then said, "It''s possible." Shen You was speechless. She thought that her situation was a blessing from heaven, a rare sight in a hundred years. But now, she actually met the same person in the same place at the same time? Shen You instantly felt that this world was a little comical... "Don''t you know that there are other systems?" Shen You couldn''t help but comment, "And the other party might be even more powerful than you?" Shen You was not to be blamed for such a guess. After all, being able to do these things without being noticed by the system, wasn''t the other system more powerful? The system didn''t answer Shen You. It just chose to remain silent. Shen You could not be bothered to ask too much, so she chose to accept it quietly. Shen You thought that if there was another system, then she would have to face a competitor. And the other party''s repeated pranks were very likely to be provoked by the other party. Shen You secretly gritted her teeth. Perhaps the other party did not have any ill intentions? Now, everything was happening in a place that Shen You could not detect. Shen you even felt a slight chill on her back. Shen You could not help but tremble. Zhu Ge noticed Shen You''s abnormality from behind. "Idol, are you feeling cold? Do you want a warm hug?" Zhu Ge''s words immediately met with a cold glare from Huo Xiao. Chapter 181 - The Existence Of Soul The class for a day had ended. Shen You felt as if countless eyes had been watching her. Shen You was very resistant to this feeling and also very uncomfortable. It was finally the end of school. Shen You picked up her bag and quickly left the classroom. Huo Xiao followed closely behind Shen You and left. Xie Xiao was about to say something to Shen You when she saw her fleeing in a panic. Xie Xiao stood where she was and frowned. "What''s wrong with this girl these past few days?" Zhu Ge placed a hand on Xie Xiao''s shoulder and looked in the direction where Shen You had left. "How is it? You''re deserted?" "Why don''t you come to Brother''s place? Brother will give you warmth," Zhu Ge said with a half-truth. Xie Xiao tilted her head and looked at Zhu Ge, but her face was full of disdain. "Thank you!" After saying that, she pushed Zhu Ge''s hand away and was about to leave. Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao with a dull expression. "Why do you always despise me?" Xie Xiao turned around and looked at Zhu Ge. "Is there a problem?" Zhu Ge looked unreconciled. "I just want to know the reason." Xie Xiao shrugged and then smiled at Zhu Ge. "It has no reason!" Xie Xiao left after saying that. Zhu Ge stood where he was, stunned. Shen You and Huo Xiao walked out of the school together. Shen You did not care about Huo Xiao following her. She just wanted to walk around and let the uneasiness in her heart go away. She did not know why, but recently she always felt that something bad would happen. It was unlike the fear of lacking luck value in the past. This time, Shen You was resistant to what was about to happen from the bottom of her heart. The situation that even the system did not know about, how scary would it be? Shen You walked aimlessly on the street. She looked at the unfamiliar or familiar scene, but the uneasiness in her heart never subsided. Huo Xiao did not know what happened to Shen You, but he thought that she was still blaming him. The two of them walked until they reached Shen You''s small park. Shen You followed the familiar path into the depths of the small park. Huo Xiao followed behind her without saying a word. It was not until they reached a pile of fake rocks that Shen You found a rock and sat down. Huo Xiao walked to Shen You''s side and sat down as well. The two of them remained silent. Huo Xiao only quietly accompanied her on the side. Finally, Shen You opened her mouth and said, "Huo Xiao, do you know that I have a secret on me?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and tilted his head slightly. "Yes..." Shen You did not seem to care about Huo Xiao''s answer. She continued to say, "This secret may follow me for the rest of my life. I can''t tell anyone. It''s very torturing." Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and thought that she was talking about her past. "Actually, you''re not to be blamed. Even if someone knew about it, nothing would happen." Huo Xiao wanted to comfort Shen You, but he did not know how to word it. Shen You already knew about her true identity? It shouldn''t be... Huo Xiao investigated this matter for a full three months before he had some clues. Based on the time that Shen You had returned to the Shen family and then moved out, she couldn''t get to the bottom of this secret that had been hidden for 18 years so quickly. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You, thought for a moment, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, okay?" Shen You slowly turned her head to look at Huo Xiao. "Huo Xiao, do you think that a human''s soul can exist forever?" Shen You''s words stunned Huo Xiao. "What did you say?" Shen You shook her head and said, "Nothing, I''m just curious." Shen You continued, "I think maybe many souls are around us that we can''t see." "They don''t have a physical body, but they really exist," Shen You continued. "Maybe one day, when they become stronger, they will appear in our world," Shen You continued to say her thoughts. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You strangely, not knowing what had gone wrong with her today. Chapter 182 - Just A Prank After telling Huo Xiao about the existence of the unknown soul in her heart, Sheng You seemed to feel a little relieved. She stood up and looked forward, "No matter what, whether it''s real or just an illusion, I have no enmity with them. So why would they come and harass me!" Huo Xiao seemed to finally understand Shen You''s problem. "Is it because you saw those roses?" Shen You looked at Huo Xiao. "Aren''t you worried?" Huo Xiao shook his head and said, "It''s just a prank." Shen You looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She had wanted to say something but decided not to. "Let''s go!" Shen You walked back the way she came from. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s back and felt that Shen You seemed to have more things on her mind. The two of them returned to the coffee shop. Shen You did not greet Xie Chen. Instead, she went straight into the kitchen. Huo Xiao stood where he was and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose to greet Xie Chen and left. Obviously, Shen You was not listening to anyone now. Huo Xiao decided that he must investigate the matter regarding the rose! Shen You busied herself in the kitchen, trying to forget that strange feeling. "You don''t have to worry too much. At the moment, I don''t feel any hostility from the other party." The system''s voice suddenly appeared. "Then do you know who the other party is?" Shen You asked, her tone was hesitant. The system hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should be the person beside you." Shen You sighed and said, "I know that it''s the person beside me." "But, I want to know who this person is!" Shen You sounded troubled. "If she knows how I looked like in my previous life, and I''ve changed so much in this life, she will certainly have doubts!" Shen You told the worry in her heart. "If the other party has no hostility, that''s best," Shen You said with distress, "But what if the other party is an enemy?" Hearing Shen You''s words, the system hesitated, "How about I try again and see if I can find out who the other party is?" "Do you have a way?" Shen You asked excitedly. "I''m not sure, but I can try," the system answered with uncertainty. At this time, Shen You had no other way. So she could only let the system find out as soon as possible. Xie Xiao suddenly hurriedly ran into the kitchen. "Shen You! Do you know who is here?" Shen You turned to look at Xie Xiao. "Who?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and pursed her lips. "Shen Jiao and Wu Qi are here together!" Shen You was stunned. The two of them had not been to school for nearly two weeks, and now they suddenly came to the coffee shop... Shen You quickly put down the things in her hands and ran out. If the two of them had come with good intentions, it would have been fine. If they had come with hostility, Xie Chen was probably no match for them at all! Shen You rushed out and saw Shen Jiao and Wu Qi sitting in Huo Xiao''s usual seat, waiting quietly. The part-time university student hurried over, wanting to help with their orders. Shen Jiao flipped through the menu, and after a moment, she said, "Go and get your boss." The university student looked at Shen Jiao''s arrogant look and frowned. How could a young girl speak in such a bossy manner! The university student turned around and glanced at the counter. "I''m sorry, our boss is busy. If the two of you have anything, just tell me." Shen Jiao seemed to feel that she was not respected. She glared at the university student. "What? Is this how you treat your customers?" "Where are your basic manners?" Shen Jiao shouted in a low voice. Shen You walked quickly to their seats and nodded at the part-time university student, signaling her to leave. The moment Shen Jiao saw Shen You, she immediately changed her expression. "You''re finally here!" Chapter 183 - Shen Yous Secret Shen You stood at the table and looked at Shen Jiao and Wu Qi. "Why are you here?" Shen Jiao curled her lips and looked at Shen You. "Why? Are you afraid that we are here?" Shen You raised her eyebrows. "The coffee shop is open for business. Why would I be afraid of you?" Shen Jiao was confident. "Shen You, don''t think that no one knows your little secrets!" Shen You looked at Shen Jiao with a gloomy expression. "What are you trying to say?" Her heart tightened. She didn''t know if Shen Jiao had discovered the secret of her rebirth. But looking at Shen Jiao''s expression, it didn''t look like, but rather... Shen You looked at Shen Jiao and felt that Shen Jiao''s reaction was a little strange. She then looked at Wu Qi. Wu Qi was staring at the table in front of her without moving. Shen Jiao looked at Shen You. "How did you get your self-proclaimed identity? Don''t you know?" Wu Qi sat opposite Shen Jiao and did not say a word. She just looked at Shen You quietly. Shen Jiao had a slightly arrogant smile on her face. "Let me advise you. If you don''t want your secret to being known by others, leave this place as soon as possible!" Shen You''s gaze shifted slightly to Wu Qi, who was beside her. "You came here today to ask me to leave?" Wu Qi did not say anything. She only tilted her head slightly to look at Shen You. Shen You looked at Shen Jiao again. "What secret do you think I have?" The corners of Shen Jiao''s mouth slightly curled up as she looked at Shen You with disdain. She stood up and moved closer to Shen You''s ear. She lowered her voice and said, "Don''t you know what kind of person you are?" Shen You''s expression changed slightly, "Watch your words!" Shen Jiao sneered, "Do you really think you are the Missy of the Shen family?" Shen You heard Shen Jiao''s words and suddenly realized that Shen Jiao seemed to know the mystery of her birth. However, Shen You had not figured this out yet. So, how did Shen Jiao find out? "Am I the daughter of the Shen family? When the Shen family sent people to pick me up, didn''t everyone see it?" Shen You did not intend to give Shen Jiao a chance to act rashly. Shen Jiao looked at Shen You with an even colder gaze. "Is that so? Or are you simply relying on a fake identity to exchange for everything of the Shen family''s daughter?" "What a joke!" Shen You snorted and said, "Did I beg the Shen family to come and pick me up? And did I beg the Shen family to acknowledge me as their daughter?" "If the Shen family has already acknowledged you as their daughter, why would they take the trouble of finding me back?" Shen You said as she smiled coldly at Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao bit her lower lip slightly. "Shen You, don''t be glib-tongued with me here." "I don''t believe that you don''t know who you are!" Shen Jiao''s eyes filled with anger. At this moment, Wu Qi stood up and said to Shen You, "Shen You, we don''t want to make things difficult for you." "If your identity is exposed, no one will look good," Wu Qi said in a sincere manner. "Perhaps, you can consider it. We can give you a sum of money..." Wu Qi said kindly. Shen You couldn''t help but shake her head when she saw Wu Qi''s charitable look. "You two are the same. You both like to talk to yourselves!" Shen You couldn''t help but snort. "However, I will consider your suggestion." Shen You took a step back slightly. "How much can you pay me to leave?" Wu Qi and Shen Jiao looked at each other, thinking that they had persuaded Shen You. Shen You stepped back again. "I think that you should discuss it first before looking for me." "I have a lot of things to do today, so I won''t entertain you!" Shen You said and left. Shen Jiao raised her hand trying to stop her, but Shen You had left. Chapter 184 - Surviving The Disaster Shen You quickly went into the kitchen, trying to catch her breath. These two women came suddenly. The suffocating feeling just now scared Shen You. Shen You could feel her heart throbbing. She had expected that Wu Qi would team up with Shen Jiao and she was prepared for it. Shen Jiao wanted to rope in all the people who were against Shen You. Wu Qi was destined to be an enemy to Shen You due to her engagement with Huo Xiao. However, Wu Qi''s sudden cancellation of the engagement seemed to have been influenced by Shen Jiao. Shen You did not know why Wu Qi would believe in Shen Jiao''s words so much? Shen Jiao and Wu Qi felt bored after Shen You left. They did not stay long and left the coffee shop. The two of them got into the private car that was waiting at the door with victorious expressions on their faces. Shen Jiao looked at Wu Qi with her slightly curved eyes. "How was it? I told you that this secret would definitely make her back down!" The corners of Wu Qi''s mouth also curled up slightly. "I was right to believe in you from the beginning." "If I continue to clash head-on with Huo Xiao, he will eventually tire of me one day." Wu Qi''s expression became a little gloomy. "We might just make the woman who interfered with Huo Xiao leave. Huo Xiao will eventually return to me!" Wu Qi said confidently. Shen Jiao also smiled. "That woman is trying to figure out how to hide her fake identity!" "I was fooled by her back then!" Shen Jiao could not help but grit her teeth. "How dare she use a fake identity to cheat the Shen family!" Shen Jiao said angrily, her face gradually turning dark. "When she gets the money, I will expose her and let everyone know her hypocrisy!" Shen Jiao said, and her hands clenched into fists. Wu Qi looked at Shen Jiao expectantly and asked softly, "What are you going to do?" Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes, "I want her to return all my things to me!" Wu Qi looked at Shen Jiao''s expression and could not help but tremble. She had never seen such a deep hatred in anyone''s eyes. The feeling of wanting to kill her and swallow her made Wu Qi''s back feel numb. Shen Jiao did not notice Wu Qi''s reaction, but she could just feel the excitement. After enduring for so long, she finally found Shen You''s weakness! This time, she must seize this weakness and let Shen you die without a burial place! Shen Jiao was immersed in her imagination. Wu Qi was also immersed in the happiness of being able to win back Huo Xiao. The two women did not know that Shen You was rejoicing that Shen Jiao did not discover the secret of her rebirth. Shen You let out a sigh of relief in the kitchen to calm her mind. Xie Xiao walked into the kitchen and saw that Shen You was leaning against the table. She thought that she was not feeling well. "Are you okay?" Shen You turned to look at Xie Xiao. "I''m fine. I just suddenly felt relief and dizzy." "What''s wrong?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and was a little worried. "What did Shen Jiao and Wu Qi do here?" Shen You shook her head and said, "Talking about something unimportant." "Don''t worry about them." Shen You turned around and held Xie Xiao''s hand. "I''m in a good mood today. How about we go shopping?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen you with a puzzled look. "You''re weird today." Shen You shook her head and suddenly smiled. "I don''t know why, but I feel like I''ve survived a disaster." Xie Xiao frowned and looked at Shen You. "Something''s wrong with you!" Shen You turned around and pressed her shoulders with both hands. She pushed Xie Xiao out of the kitchen. "Alright! Go and pack up. Let''s go out and have fun!" Xie Xiao was pushed away by Shen You. She wanted to say something but couldn''t turn around. Xie Xiao sighed helplessly and said, "Alright! I''ll accompany you today! Wherever you want to go, I''ll just follow!" Shen You suddenly kissed Xie Xiao on the cheek and said, "I know you''re the best!" Xie Xiao was stunned. She quickly wiped her face and said, "Watch out! I don''t want to get killed by Huo Xiao!" Chapter 185 - Who Are You Exactly? Xie Xiao accompanied Shen You to wander around the mall aimlessly for two rounds. They walked until their legs were sore. Only then did Xie Xiao pull Shen You to a cold drink shop and sit down. The two of them ordered some cold drinks. As they were drinking, they were watching people come and go. Shen You did not say a word from the beginning to the end. It seemed that there was something in her heart that was difficult to resolve. Xie Xiao did not say anything either, only quietly accompanying her. Shen You looked at the people come and go, and her thoughts suddenly returned to her previous life. She remembered that at that time, she really wanted to have friends to accompany her. At first, when she had just returned to the Shen family, there were indeed a few "friends" who took the initiative to get to know her. When they heard that she was the daughter of the Shen family, everyone appeared to be rather friendly. Subsequently, the news of Shen You growing up in the countryside spread. And she was unable to adapt to the behaviors of those so-called daughters of aristocratic families. Gradually, she saw disdain in the eyes of those people. After that, Shen Jiao had injuries one after another. This had caused Shen You to become the target of public criticism. In her previous life, Shen Jiao did not take off her mask. She was still the beautiful delicate daughter of the Shen family. She always looked like she was about to cry, and it would always make the family and outsiders feel their hearts ache. On the contrary, Shen You was the existence of a servant girl. So what if she had the blood of the Shen family flowing in her veins? Shen You always wondered why the Shen family had brought her back. At that time, she also felt aggrieved. Even if she could not adapt to the life of a rich young lady, could the blood of the Shen family not be recognized by the Shen family? Now, Shen You seemed to understand finally... It turned out she was the same as Shen Jiao. Perhaps she was not the so-called bloodline inheritance of the Shen family. Shen You silently scooped the ice in front of her, but she did not put it into her mouth. Xie Xiao looked worried, but she did not know how to ask. She knew that Shen Jiao and Wu Qi came over today, and it had made Shen You feel uncomfortable. Putting aside the relationship between Shen You and Shen Jiao, Wu Qi and Huo Xiao''s previous engagement alone had caused the meet to be quite awkward. Shen You''s eyes looked out of the window, but her hands did not stop moving. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she looked out of the window. Xie Xiao noticed Shen You''s actions and turned to look, but she did not see anything. Shen You didn''t move. She just stared at one spot. "You have found out, right?" The system''s voice sounded in Shen You''s mind. Shen You looked at that spot and her voice was a little cold, "So that''s Auntie Shu''s secret?" The system''s voice was a little playful, "Perhaps it''s more than what you think." Shen You''s eyes narrowed and she said, "Do you know everything? Who are you exactly?" The system laughed and said strangely, "I''m the one who wants to help you!" "You didn''t die unjustly in your previous life. I''m the existence that makes you live your life again, safe and stable!" The system confirmed its position. Shen You slowly sat up and ignored the system. Ever since she saw Shu Qing again, Shen You felt that something was wrong. She could not find the crux of the problem until she saw Shu Qing and Li Ru sitting together having tea. Shu Qing and Li Ru knew each other? In other words, Li Ru knew where she had been all these years? Then why didn''t she look for me? Was I Li Ru''s daughter? Who was I? Many questions were swirling in Shen You''s mind, making it impossible for her to think. Shen You sighed slightly. She looked up and saw Xie Xiao staring at her. "What''s wrong with you?" Xie Xiao hurriedly asked when she saw Shen You was finally looking at her. Shen You thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Xiao, what would you do if I told you that I''m not me?" Xie Xiao frowned when she heard Shen You''s mysterious words. Chapter 186 - Shen Yous Metaphysics Shen You held her breath as she was waiting for Xie Xiao''s reply. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You strangely. After a while, she asked, "What''s the matter with you? Are you going to transform?" Shen You was stunned for a moment. She looked at Xie Xiao and asked, "What did you say?" "What do you mean you''re not you? Why metaphysics are you playing?" Xie Xiao looked at Shen You with disgust. "Come on, don''t think about all this nonsense with your not-so-smart brain," Xie Xiao said as she gently knocked on Shen You''s head. "Hurry up and finish your drink. We still have to go back to help out!" Xie Xiao said and pushed the cold drink in front of Shen You. "Life is not easy. Let''s get some rest and continue our journey!" Xie Xiao like an elderly person. Shen You was moved and looked at Xie Xiao. She could not describe how she was feeling in her heart. Every time she encountered something unpleasant, Xie Xiao would always give her strength. Shen You downed the cold drink gloomily. She then stood up and smiled at Xie Xiao. "Let''s go! Otherwise, Sister Chen will deduct my salary!" Seeing that Shen You had finally recovered her spirit, Xie Xiao felt relieved. She carried her things and followed Shen You out of the mall. The two of them walked around the store. Besides two new tablecloths and a few sets of new cutlery, they did not buy anything else. When they were carrying their things out of the mall, a car suddenly drove up in front of them. Shen You looked at the car and frowned slightly. It wasn''t a familiar car. The car window slowly rolled down. Shen You turned her head slightly to look and saw that Zhu Ge was sitting in the driver''s seat. Zhu Ge looked at Shen You and Xie Xiao through the passenger seat''''s window and said, "Beauties, do you need a ride home?" "Why are you here?" Shen You looked at Zhu Ge curiously. Zhu Ge gestured with his hand and said, "I''m getting a gift for my mother. I happened to pass by here." Shen You looked at the back but didn''t see anything. Xie Xiao said at this moment, "No need. We''ll take a cab back." After saying that, she tugged at Shen You''s sleeve. Shen You turned to look at Xie Xiao, only to see Xie Xiao shaking her head at her. Shen You thought for a moment before saying to Zhu Ge, "Thank you for your kindness. We''ll take a cab back!" Seeing this, Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao and said, "Why? Class Monitor doesn''t trust my driving skills?" Xie Xiao curled her lips slightly. "We don''t dare to trouble Young Master Zhu!" "If any of your fangirls were to see us, we would die without a burial place!" Xie Xiao said and snorted. When Shen You heard this, she felt there seemed to be something she did not know. However, seeing that Xie Xiao was so determined, Shen You could only smile helplessly at Zhu Ge and say, "You go ahead. It''s very fast to take a cab back." Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Zhu Ge had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, feeling strange. Xie Xiao, on the other hand, silently carried her things and walked towards the station. Shen You silently followed her all the way to the station. "What happened to the two of you?" Shen You looked at Xie Xiao, feeling puzzled, and asked. Xie Xiao shrugged and said, "I''m afraid that we can''t afford to compensate him if we tire out his noble young master''s precious body." Shen You frowned and looked at Xie Xiao. "Did anyone say anything?" Xie Xiao shook her head and said, "It''s just that I know my limits!" "Do you remember my sister''s previous boyfriend?" Xie Xiao looked at the cars passing by and asked softly. "En," Shen You responded. "What''s wrong with him?" Xie Xiao exhaled lightly. "My parents said as he is from a noble family, his family is against him being together with a child from a poor humble family like ours." Shen You was puzzled by this statement. "Your family is not considered poor. How could it be..." Xie Xiao turned her head and smiled helplessly at Shen You. "My family is dependent on others to survive. We can''t compare to those real noble families." "In their eyes, we are worthless," Xie Xiao said with a hint of self-mockery in her tone. Shen You looked at Xie Xiao.. For a moment she felt her heart aching. Chapter 187 - You Are My Idol Shen You had never been concerned about Xie Xiao''s troubles. She always felt Xie Xiao had a carefree personality and did not care about how others thought of her. Even in the face of Xie Chen''s matter, Xie Xiao had always been righteous and stern. Shen You did not know that in Xie Xiao''s heart, she was feeling hurt because of her family background. Shen You leaned against the pillar beside the station and suddenly felt a little tired. The two of them took public transport and got off at an intersection in front of the coffee shop. They carried their things into the coffee shop and saw Xie Chen sitting in front of the counter in a daze. Shen You thought that they should arrange the meet between Xie Chen and Zhao Pu as soon as possible. Regardless of the outcome, the two of them should at least face each other calmly and explain all the misunderstandings. Otherwise, there would always be a hurdle in their future lives. When Xie Chen saw Xie Xiao and Shen You coming back with a few boxes and bags, she hurriedly called a few working students to come over and help. After everyone tidied up their newly bought things, they sat around a table. Since it was a break time and there weren''t many customers, Xie Chen wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone about the future development plans. Although Shen You and Xie Xiao were still schooling, they were also the main labor force of this coffee shop. Thus, they also participated in the meeting. "Everyone has worked hard recently," Xie Chen looked at the crowd and said. "Based on Shen You''s previous suggestion, I plan to upgrade our coffee shop." Xie Chen showed a faint smile. "Judging from the number of customers attracted by the content that Shen You posted on the internet, we can do some online publicity campaigns in the future." Xie Chen showed her plan to the crowd. "Our shop has always been in a tepid state. I think everyone is feeling a little uneasy." Xie Chen looked at everyone apologetically. A few students who were working looked at Xie Chen with a smile on their faces. "Sister Chen, we will do as you say. We will listen to you!" Xie Chen smiled at everyone. "Thank you for your trust!" "I plan to upgrade the shop to a shop that we can share on the internet." Xie Chen''s eyes lit up. Shen You looked at Xie Chen. She seemed to see an unprecedented brilliance from her. The current Xie Chen was very different from the previous her. Shen You even felt like wanting to get closer to her. She finally understood Xie Chen''s charm. Xie Chen was not just gentle and made people feel close to her, but more importantly, she was perseverant. It was not that Xie Chen did not want to make the coffee shop prosperous, but she had been trying hard and did not seem to succeed. This time, although Shen You had only given her the suggestion, the results were not bad under Xie Chen''s constant attempts. Shen You didn''t expect Xie Chen to act so quickly that she had put this matter on the agenda. As she watched Xie Chen explain her thoughts and plans to everyone, Shen You''s eyes filled with envy and longing. After the meeting, everyone started to get busy. Shen You didn''t leave. Instead, she followed Xie Chen to the bar counter. "Sister Chen, you''ve been so down these days. Is it because you''re thinking about this plan?" Shen You asked the question in her heart. Xie Chen smiled at Shen You. "Yes! It''s not easy to make a change. I need to have more plans." Shen You finally let out a sigh of relief. The feeling of being suppressed in her chest for the past few days had finally returned to normal. "I thought..." Shen You smiled helplessly and bitterly. Xie Chen looked at Shen You and suddenly thought of something. "Oh, you''re worried about me? About what happened at the hospital that day?" Shen You deliberately nodded when she heard that. Xie Chen gently patted Shen You''s hand on the table and said, "Don''t worry! I''m not that weak!" Shen You looked at Xie Chen with admiration again. "Sister Chen, you''re my idol!" Chapter 188 - I Hope Youre Happy Knowing Xie Chen''s plan, Shen You no longer hesitated. Since Xie Chen had her own plans, Shen You also decided to implement her plan. From the information Zhao Nan provided, Zhao Pu seemed to be brooding over Xie Chen''s matter. Although Xie Chen was busy with work, Zhao Pu''s matter still had to be resolved. Shen You and Zhao Nan discussed and decided to let Zhao Pu meet up with Xie Chen as soon as possible. After tidying herself up that night, Shen You was about to call Zhao Nan to confirm the plan when Huo Xiao''s call came in. Shen You picked up the phone. "Hello, what''s the matter?" Huo Xiao heard Shen You''s cold voice. "Why are you so cold? Is there anything you''re unhappy about today?" Shen You shook her head and then remembered that Huo Xiao couldn''t see her. "No!" Shen You said into the phone, "I''m just a little tired." Huo Xiao said, "Oh, I have something to tell you. Can you come out now?" "Come out?" Shen You looked at the phone strangely. "You''re at my door now?" "Yes! You come out now. I want to see you." Huo Xiao''s voice sounded a little deep. Shen You thought for a moment and replied, "Okay! Wait for me!" Shen You put on a coat and rushed out of the door. When she walked out, Shen You saw Huo Xiao standing at the door. Seeing that Huo Xiao did not look well, Shen You was a little worried. "Are you okay?" Huo Xiao shook his head and said, "Shen You, have you ever doubted your background?" Hearing Huo Xiao''s question, Shen You''s expression changed again and again. "I came to see you today to confirm whether you care about this matter very much?" Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s hand and asked. Shen You struggled slightly but did not break free. "Then do you mind?" "No!" Huo Xiao answered without hesitation. "No matter what your background is, as long as you''re Shen You, I like you!" Hearing Huo Xiao''s words, the corners of Shen You''s mouth curled up slightly. "Good! It''s good to have you say that." Shen You''s face looked as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden, but Huo Xiao felt a little sorry for her. "I want to tell you that you don''t have to investigate it yourself, okay?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You and said seriously. Shen You paused for a moment and then said, "Do you know what I want to investigate?" Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said again, "I think I got to know about some things earlier than you do." "But I don''t want these things to affect you." Huo Xiao held Shen You''s hand tightly. "Believe me, I will take care of everything, Okay?" Huo Xiao stared at Shen You and waited for Shen You''s answer. Shen You took a deep breath and said, "Huo Xiao, I want to investigate my background, not to prove anything." "I just want to know the whole story. At least I want to know who I am," Shen You said sincerely. "I know. The reason you don''t want me to investigate is for my own good. But many things can''t be solved by running away." Shen You looked at Huo Xiao, her eyes shining. Huo Xiao knew what Shen You meant. But he felt his heart was aching. "I hope you will always be happy," Huo Xiao spoke out his thoughts. "Some things will not change because of your background." "I know." Shen You smiled at Huo Xiao. "I will always be happy, don''t worry!" Shen You said to Huo Xiao seriously. "I am stronger than you think!" Shen You''s promise was not just to comfort Huo Xiao. More importantly, Shen You was giving herself confidence. She knew that she was no longer the person she once was! If it was in her previous life, Shen You might have hidden in a corner because of these things and never seen anyone again. But now, Shen You would no longer run away! Chapter 189 - Punish Shen You According to Xie Chen''s plan, Shen You would be responsible for shooting and online promotion, in addition to making cupcakes in the kitchen every day. This job looked easy, but it was quite a lot of work. Shen You was busy every day, and she enjoyed it. Seeing Shen being busy every day, Huo Xiao had wanted to help, but he realized that he didn''t know anything about these things at all. Due to the implementation of the Star Class, the atmosphere in the class had not been good. Many people even chose to take leave to rest at home. On this day, Shen You was thinking hard about how she could take a better picture when she saw the lackey director of studies rush into the class. "Everyone, get your spirits up. Today, Ms. Ling is coming to check on the progress of the Star Class!" The director said in a high-pitched voice. As her thoughts were interrupted by this sharp voice, Shen You stared at the director impatiently. Just as the director of studies was worried that he would lose his grips on education, at this instant, Shen You had undoubtedly bumped into the muzzle of a gun. The director pointed his finger at Shen You, "Shen You! Stand up." Shen You could be considered to have given face to the director. She stood up unsteadily. The director stared at Shen You coldly. "Look at yourself! Do you look like a Star Class student?" Shen You pursed her lips and asked, "What does a Star Class student look like?" The director stumped for a moment. "Well... not like you!" Hearing the director''s words, the other students could not help but burst into laughter. The director did not expect that he would be ridiculed instead of teaching her a lesson. He could not hold back his anger and said, "You are disturbing the class order. Follow me to the office!" Shen You snorted in dissatisfaction. The director was even angrier. "Don''t think that no one can control you!" "Let me tell you, your Shen family, I still..." the dean was halfway through his words when he swept his eyes and saw Shen Jiao, whom he had not seen for a long time, walking in. "Shen Jiao, why are you here? Are you feeling better now?" The director immediately put on a different face. Shen Jiao smiled at the director obediently. "Sorry to have made Director worry!" The director looked at Shen Jiao, with the corners of his mouth curving up. "Don''t mention, don''t mention!" Many people in the class were dissatisfied with the director''s fawning manner, but they also knew that they couldn''t do anything about it. The director was a person who would bully the weak and fear the strong. He could be bribed with a little benefit. As Shen Jiao had continuously requested for leave, Li Ru had spent a lot of money on him. The director had made a lot of profits during the past one to two months, and he even treated Shen Jiao as a treasure. As for who was the Shen family''s true daughter, how did it matter to him? Shen You watched Shen Jiao walk to her seat and sit down. She then glanced at herself. Shen You''s expression changed slightly, but she didn''t say anything. Wu Qi didn''t come to school for the past few days, but Shen Jiao suddenly turned up. Something might have happened. Just as Shen You was feeling uneasy, she heard Lu Man''s voice. "Ah Jiao, you''re finally here. If you still don''t come, the Shen family''s daughter is going to cause a huge ruckus!" Hearing this, Shen Jiao gave Shen You a seemingly unintentional glance. She smiled but didn''t say anything. Shen You glared at Lu Man and ignored Shen Jiao. Only then did the director remember that Shen You was still standing. Thus he shouted again, "You, follow me to the office!" Shen You shrugged and didn''t resist. She followed the director and was about to leave. At this moment, Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan stood up simultaneously, "Director, what mistake did Shen You make?" The two of them asked at the same time, and the class instantly quieted down. However, after a few seconds of silence, the class burst into laughter again. Shen Jiao''s expression instantly became a little malevolent, and she glared fiercely at Shen You. Shen You glanced at Zhao Nan and Huo Xiao, looked at the director, and did not speak. Chapter 190 - No Need To Come Tomorrow The director was shocked by Zhao Nan''s and Huo Xiao''s imposing manner. Just as he was hesitating, he saw a few people walking towards the door. The director immediately went up to greet them. "Ms. Ling, why are you here now?" "I''m teaching these kids a lesson now!" The director had a fawning smile on his face as he hurried over to greet them. Ms. Ling had heard the commotion in the class from afar. The moment she walked into the class, the class fell silent. Ms. Ling looked at the three people standing in the class with a solemn and cold expression. "What are you doing?" Shen You tilted her head, looked at her, without humbling herself or showing disrespect, "Being punished by the director." Ms. Ling turned to look at the director of studies. The director quickly explained, "This Shen You is disturbing the class order. I''m taking her to the office to talk." "As for these two..." the director glanced at Zhao Nan and Huo Xiao with some hesitation. These two children were the young masters of the Huo family and the Zhao family. Even if he could control these children, he could not afford to touch the young masters of these two families! Even if he was fawning on Ms. Ling, it was not worth risking his future! Seeing that the director was hesitating, Ms. Ling looked at Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan and asked, "What do you have to say?" Before Zhao Nan spoke, Huo Xiao spoke first, "Shen You did not make a mistake. The director has no reason to take her away!" "What? In this school, whether a student made a mistake is not determined by the teacher, but by the students?" Ms. Ling asked with a mocking expression. Shen You held her breath and stared at Ms. Ling, not saying a word. Ms. Ling looked at Zhao Nan again. "Are you thinking the same?" Zhao Nan raised his chin slightly and said, "If you want to take Shen You away, I will go with her!" Hearing Zhao Nan says this, the mocking expression on Ms. Ling''s face became even more obvious. "You''re really... enduring misfortune together!" "That''s good! The Star Class doesn''t need unruly students like you! From tomorrow onwards, you don''t have to come anymore!" Ms. Ling bluntly gave the order. Everyone in the class looked at Shen You and the other two in surprise. Before Shen You and the other two could react, the director was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground. Oh my God! It was fine if Shen You didn''t have to come, but the other two masters couldn''t be dealt with like way! The director immediately rushed over to Ms. Ling and said, "Ms. Ling, we need to discuss this matter, we need to discuss it!" Looking at the director''s timid look, Ms. Ling snorted, "If you''re not convinced by the way I mange, there''s no need to build this Star Class!" Hearing Ms. Ling''s words, Shen You, who had been holding back for a long time, finally opened her mouth, "Did you make all the decisions right?" Ms. Ling raised her chin slightly. "I''ve never been wrong!" Shen You''s gaze fixed on Ms. Ling. The two of them once again returned to their initial confrontation when they first met. Shen You was holding back. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "You''d better not regret what you said!" Ms. Ling''s expression was always haughty. "Before you''re capable to resist me, I advise you not to do anything stupid!" Shen You clenched her fists and said to the director, "Director, where are you taking me?" Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan were about to speak, but Shen You stopped them. "There''s no need to follow us! I have things to do!" Hearing Shen You say so, Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan looked at each other and stood in place, not moving. Ms. Ling looked at the two of them and sneered. "You two are really obedient!" Huo Xiao and Zhao Nan looked at each other and ignored Ms. Ling''s words. They sat down. Shen You followed the director to the office. The director couldn''t do anything to Shen You. He could only make her stand in the office as a punishment. Shen You stood for a while before the principal came over, "What''s going on?" Shen You stuck out her tongue at the principal and said, "Director is in a bad mood and made me stand as a punishment." "Oh," the principal responded. As he was about to leave, Shen You suddenly said, "Principal, I have something to trouble you..." Chapter 191 - Do You Want To Go To School? After School, Shen You didn''t go back to the coffee shop directly. Instead, she went to the nursing home where Qi Yu was staying. As the place was out of the way, it took Shen You an hour to get there by car. Seeing Qi Yu was reading to the elderly, Shen You quietly listened to him from the side. Shen You was so engrossed in listening. She didn''t notice Qi Yu had finished reading and was walking towards her. "Why are you here?" Qi Yu smiled gently at Shen You. Shen You looked up at Qi Yu and asked, "How have you been?" "En," Qi Yu replied, "It''s... pretty good!" Shen You looked at Qi Yu and asked after a long while, "Do you want to go to school?" Qi Yu was stunned for a moment and hesitated. Shen You urged him again, "You''re still young. You can''t stay here forever, right?" "But... I''m waiting for someone..." Qi Yu said, in a dilemma. "Are you sure that person will come?" Shen You mercilessly shattered Qi Yu''s delusions. Qi Yu bit his lower lip slightly, looking a little wronged and helpless. Shen You knew that she had a chance to convince him. So she began to pursue the victory. "I remember seeing a sentence which reads this way. You can only let the person you want to see notice you if you stand at a higher place!" "You can''t keep waiting here. She won''t come!" Shen You said with certainty. Qi Yu seemed to have finally been persuaded by Shen You. His eyelashes fluttered. After a long while, he said, "But... I don''t know where I can go!" Shen You smiled slightly and said, "I''ll help you arrange your accommodation and school. How about it?" Qi Yu looked at Shen You in surprise. "Why do you want to help me?" Shen You pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, I am hoping you can help me, too!" "Me? What can I help you?" Qi Yu looked at Shen You in surprise. Shen You shook her head and said, "You''ll know in the future!" "Now, tell me what you think. Do you want to come with me?" Shen You stretched out her hand to Qi Yu. Qi Yu clenched his hands. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put his hand on Shen You''s. "Okay! I''ll go with you!" After persuading Qi Yu, Shen You called Xie Chen. Xie Chen rented two houses behind the coffee shop. Besides the one they were staying in now, the other was used as a temporary guest room. It was left vacant all this while. Shen You told Xie Chen that she had a friend who had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place. Thus she wanted to borrow the room for a while. Since he didn''t have much money, he would work in the coffee shop. When Xie Chen heard that he was a friend of Shen You''s, she didn''t ask much and agreed to it. Besides settling the accommodation matter, Shen You had also informed the principal in advance about the school-related matters. Qi Yu''s enrollment could be considered to have been settled smoothly. But now, how could the two of them leave the nursery? In this place, Qi Yu could only leave after the sign-off of the person in charge. When Shen You was caught in such a difficult situation, Qi Yu smiled at Shen You. "The caretaker here is very familiar with me. It should be alright to tell the principal that I am going out with my friends for some time." Qi Yu smiled gently at Shen You. "Yes! It should be allowed to go out at the last minute!" Shen You slapped her forehead and laughed at herself. She was only thinking about how Qi Yu could leave this place, but she had never thought she could use such a tactic. With that, it solved the problem of Qi Yu leaving the place. While they were planning for the move, Shen You received a call from Huo Xiao. "Where are you?" Huo Xiao asked anxiously over the phone. "I went to the coffee shop, but you weren''t there." Shen You told Huo Xiao about the situation. Huo Xiao did not hesitate and said, "Tell him to pack his things. I''ll go pick you up now." Qi Yu did not expect to leave the nursing home in less than half a day. Qi Yu hurriedly went to the director''s office to sign the temporary departure application and bid farewell to the elders. Although the elders were reluctant to let Qi Yu go, they knew that a young man should not have stayed here. Chapter 192 - Qi Yu Moved To New Place When Huo Xiao came to pick up Shen You and Qi Yu, he was stunned when he saw Qi Yu. His expression then turned cold. Shen You could see Huo Xiao''s dissatisfaction, but she did not take it to heart. The three of them sat in the car. Qi Yu was looking at the scenery along the way outside the car window. Shen You was thinking about the arrangement for Qi Yu when they arrived. Huo Xiao occasionally glanced at Qi Yu in the back seat from the rearview mirror. Finally, Huo Xiao could not help but ask, "Who is this person?" As Shen You was thinking about some things in her mind, she did not pay attention to what Huo Xiao had said. But Qi Yu heard it. He went forward and said to Huo Xiao, "Hello, I''m a Shen You''s friend. My name Is Qi Yu." Huo Xiao frowned slightly and nodded. "Hello, I''m Shen You''s boyfriend. My name is Huo Xiao." Shen You finally came back to her senses when she heard the conversation between the two. Shen You said to Huo Xiao, "Qi Yu is my friend. He has been living in a nursing home. I want him to return to a normal life." "When did you know him?" Huo Xiao asked cautiously. "Was it previously.." Shen You patted Huo Xiao''s arm lightly and said, "He''s the friend I told you about previously!" "I feel like we''ve known each other since our last life! We''re very good friends!" Shen You said with a smile. Hearing Shen You''s words, Huo Xiao''s expression became even stiffer. Shen You finally realized Huo Xiao''s expression was not right. Thus she said, "We''re very good friends! Just like brothers and sisters!" Huo Xiao''s expression finally eased up a little when he heard this. "Then what do you plan to do next?" Huo Xiao asked again. His gaze once again directed at Qi Yu. "Qi Yu has been living in a nursing home and lacks the opportunity to get along with people of the same age. He''s a little gloomy," Shen You said somewhat helplessly. She remembered when she met Qi Yu in her previous life, he was not a somewhat cheerful youth in front of her now. At that time, Qi Yu seemed to be engulfed in a haze. Shen You looked at Qi Yu with some heartache. "I hope that he can go to school with us, receive a formal education, and have a better life." Although Shen You sounded calm, Huo Xiao felt that Shen You seemed to have other plans. However, since Shen You had no intention to tell him, Huo Xiao also did not intend to ask her for the time being. After driving to the coffee shop, Shen You brought Qi Yu into the shop. When the working college students saw Qi Yu, their eyes were wide open. Xie Chen also saw the three of them. She was also stunned when she saw Qi Yu. Shen You looked at everyone''s expressions and could not help but stifle her laughter. "What''s wrong? Haven''t you seen a handsome man before?" Shen You could not help but tease. Qi Yu was feeling shy when he heard what Shen You said. His entire face instantly turned red, looking even cuter. Xie Xiao rushed over and held Shen You''s arm with one hand. "Where did you dig up such a treasure?" Shen You smiled and pointed to the top of her head. "It fell from the sky!" Xie Xiao turned to look at Qi Yu''s appearance and couldn''t help but sigh. "He has a little bit of Sister Lin''s temperament!" Shen You gently pat Xie Xiao and said, "Is the room ready?" Xie Xiao immediately stood up. "We wouldn''t dare to delay Miss Shen''s orders!" "The room is ready. Handsome man is welcome to stay in any time!" Xie Xiao said and winked at Qi Yu. Qi Yu had lived in an environment of older people. Even the nurses were mostly middle-aged. Qi Yu was not used to seeing so many young people all of a sudden. Shen You said to Huo Xiao, "I''ll have to trouble you to help him clean up. His ability to take care of himself..." As Shen You said this, she gave Huo Xiao an awkward smile. Huo Xiao secretly held his breath and said, "I''ll help him. You don''t have to worry!" Shen You immediately put both of her hands together, "I''ll leave it to you then, thanks!" Chapter 193 - You Want To Use Him? Huo Xiao helped Qi Yu move the luggage into the room. Qi Yu looked a little timid and wanted to follow behind Shen You. Shen You knew that Qi Yu was in fact not timid. He was purely not used to the outside environment. Shen You remembered when she first met Qi Yu, he was giving a speech to the people in the street. She could not imagine how the person who once was eloquent and passionate in expressing his views was now deeply troubled by depression. She also could not imagine Qi Yu in the past had such a reserved personality. Shen You did not know what had caused the conflicting change in Qi Yu. But what distressed her more was the change. Shen You pulled Qi Yu to a seat by the window and sat down. "What would you like to drink? Sister Chen''s coffee tastes very good. Do you want to try it?" Qi Yu nodded as if he was at Shen You''s mercy in a helpless position. Huo Xiao could not stand Qi Yu''s behavior. He walked up to Shen You and said, "I want to talk to you." When she was pulled away by Huo Xiao, Shen You turned her head in Qi Yu''s direction and said, "Make yourself comfortable!" Huo Xiao pulled Shen You to the side and asked, "Who is this person? Why are you so good to him?" Huo Xiao looked he was being cautious. Shen You knew that he was not just jealous. Shen You smiled, "My friend! He will be of great help to me!" Hearing what Shen You said, Huo Xiao''s expression became even colder. "You want to use him?" Huo Xiao never thought Shen You would be such a person. He always thought she was kind and gentle. Shen You shook her head. "I am helping him!" Huo Xiao did not understand Shen You''s intentions. He only frowned and said, "Don''t you think it''s not good for you to be so close to him?" Shen You shrugged helplessly. "He''s very pitiful!" Shen You looked at Qi Yu with pity in her eyes. Both her eyes were filled with sympathy. Huo Xiao did not doubt Shen You''s attitude towards Qi Yu. He just felt that Shen You''s behavior was a little strange. "What do you want to help him with? I can also..." Huo Xiao hoped that there would be no secrets between him and Shen You. Shen You smiled at Huo Xiao. "You''ll know soon!" Huo Xiao did not like Shen You making a mystery out of it. He glanced in Qi Yu''s direction. Qi Yu was looking in their direction nervously. A few working students were being pushed away by Xie Xiao one by one. They were smiling warmly at Qi Yu. However, Qi Yu seemed to feel uncomfortable all over. Shen You pouted in Qi Yu''s direction and said, "Looks like I have to go rescue him first!" Huo Xiao wanted to reach out to stop Shen You but it was too late. Shen You ran back to Qi Yu''s side and asked, "How is it? Is the coffee Sister Chen made good?" Qi Yu held the cup with both hands and his eyes were full of pleading. "Can I go back to my room?" Shen You shook her head and said, "Isn''t it good here?" Qi Yu looked around nervously. "It''s good here, but I..." Shen You knew Qi Yu''s nervousness was due to his lack of familiarity with the surrounding environment, but she had to let him familiarize himself as soon as possible! That was because he had more important things to do! Shen You looked at Qi Yu apologetically and said, "I''ve already arranged the accommodation and school-related matters." "I''ll bring you around to familiarize yourself with the surroundings tomorrow. We''ll start going to school next week. Do you have any questions?" Shen You stared at Qi Yu and asked. Qi Yu was about to say something but Shen You stopped him. "You have to remember what you have promised me." Qi Yu opened his mouth and finally sighed helplessly. "I will work hard!" Shen You nodded and smiled in satisfaction. "Since that''s the case, let''s try Sister Chen''s baking!" After saying that, she went to the kitchen and brought over a few snacks made by Xie Chen. Chapter 194 - Adapting To The New Environment Huo Xiao had been brooding over the fact that Qi Yu had become Shen You''s neighbor. Huo Xiao knew Shen You must have her own plans for this arrangement. However, he could not understand why Shen You wanted to bring Qi Yu home. Shen You did not explain further to Huo Xiao. After all, she was still counting on Qi Yu to fight back. Although she felt a little uneasy using Qi Yu in this manner, Shen You still decided to take revenge. Moreover, this matter was not a bad thing for Qi Yu. Wasn''t this Qi Yu had wanted to do in his previous life but failed to do? Shen You quietly made up her mind to help Qi Yu familiarize himself with the life and schedule of the coffee shop as soon as possible. As most of Qi Yu''s clothes were distributed together with the elderly in the nursing home, he did not have any particularly decent clothes. Although Shen You wanted to help him buy some, she did not know much about men''s clothing. Being helpless, Shen You could only ask Huo Xiao for help. Although Huo Xiao was reluctant, he accompanied Shen You to take Qi Yu shopping with her. As she was worried that Qi Yu would feel uncomfortable, Shen You pulled Xie Xiao along. The four of them went to the mall to buy clothes for Qi Yu. Qi Yu was fair and well-behaved. As he had lived in a nursing home for a long time, he looked reserved and shy. Compared to Huo Xiao who was cold like a big block of ice, people would prefer to get closer to Qi Yu and bully him more. Xie Xiao was the one who wanted to "bully" Qi Yu from time to time. When they arrived at the mall, Shen You wanted to show him around slowly because Qi Yu was not familiar with the environment. Huo Xiao followed beside her the whole time, not leaving Shen You''s side at all. Xie Xiao was not satisfied with the leisurely way of shopping, so she grabbed Qi Yu''s arm and rushed into the men''s clothing store. Just as she reached the entrance of the store, two people happened to walk out. Xie Xiao was not careful and directly bumped into a person''s chest. As Xie Xiao was not tall, she bumped into the person''s chest, and both of them cried out in pain. Xie Xiao held her forehead. Just as she was about to apologize to the person, she saw Zhu Ge standing at the side, staring at her. Xie Xiao looked again. She had actually bumped into Zhao Nan! "What a coincidence!" Xie Xiao said when she saw Zhao Nan grabbing his chest like he''s suffocating. Zhu Ge looked at Xie Xiao who was grabbing Qi Yu''s hand and asked, "Who is he?" Xie Xiao turned around and looked at Qi Yu. "Qi Yu, my friend." Shen You raised her eyebrows. She didn''t expect Xie Xiao to acknowledge Qi Yu as a friend so quickly. But it made sense. Xie Xiao had always been carefree. When it came to friends, as long as she recognized them, even if they only knew each other for a few minutes, she would still treat them as her best friends. Although Xie Xiao had suffered a lot because of this character, she still liked to make friends everywhere. However, Zhu Ge''s character was clearly not the same as Xie Xiao''s. He looked at Qi Yu with some disdain, and even his eyes revealed a hint of doubt. Qi Yu, on the contrary, looked at Zhu Ge very calmly, and even smiled at him. Zhu Ge felt that it was strange for a man to smile at him in this manner. Thus he turned his gaze to Xie Xiao. Xie Xiao knew that Zhu Ge was looking at her, but she ignored him. She only moved closer to Zhao Nan and asked, "Are you okay?" Zhao Nan coughed several times and waved his hand. "I''m fine." Shen You also went up and looked at Zhao Nan. "Are you okay? Do you need to sit down and rest?" Xie Xiao touched her forehead and sighed. "I didn''t expect my lethality to be so great!" Shen You glanced at Xie Xiao and looked at her slightly red forehead. "Is your head okay?" Xie Xiao touched her forehead and said, "It''s fine! This is Iron Head Technique!" Seeing this, Shen You could not help but smile. Since Zhao Nan was injured, Shen You and the rest did not let him go shopping. They came to a tea bar not far away and sat down to rest. Zhao Nan held his chest and could not help but gasp for breath. Xie Xiao could not help but mutter, "Why is a man so delicate?" Chapter 195 - Huo Xiao Was Jealous Zhu Ge looked at Zhao Nan, who was gasping for breath and then turned to Xie Xiao. "What do you know? Zhao Nan..." Zhao Nan grabbed Zhu Ge''s hand and stopped him from continuing. Zhu Ge pursed his lips. He knew that Zhao Nan did not want him to continue. Zhao Nan looked at Shen You and then Qi Yu. "Who is this friend that you haven''t introduced?" Shen You glanced at Qi Yu and said to Zhao Nan, "His name is Qi Yu, and he''s our friend. You''ll get to know him very soon." Hearing Shen You''s strange introduction, Zhao Nan frowned slightly but did not ask further. Zhu Ge was dissatisfied with Qi Yu''s silence. "Your friend is a little cold." Shen You smiled bitterly. "He''s just a little afraid of strangers." Huo Xiao sat at the side and did not say a word. However, his eyes were full of disdain looking at Qi Yu. Seeing Qi Yu''s being curious and afraid of strangers, Shen You could not help but think that he was a little cute. When she knew him in the past, he had become cold and unapproachable. She did not expect him to be so innocent and cute. Although Zhao Nan did not feel anything special about Qi Yu, he was still the person who suddenly appeared beside Shen You. It was inevitable that he would be more concerned. In particular, Shen You seemed to be particularly intimate with Qi Yu. Even Huo Xiao''s expression looked a little unnatural. However, on Huo Xiao''s reaction, Zhao Nan was secretly feeling happy. After all, he had been sullen for a long time because of Huo Xiao. Xie Xiao ignored the reactions of the others and continued trying to ease Qi Yu''s nervousness. "You don''t have to worry about them. They are just curious about you," Xie Xiao explained patiently to Qi Yu. Qi Yu nodded. He was not as nervous as before, but just feeling a little lost.. After sitting in the tea bar for a while, Zhao Nan felt better and left with Zhu Ge. Before Zhu Ge left, he looked at Qi Yu and said to Xie Xiao, "Be careful not to frighten him!" Xie Xiao gritted her teeth at Zhu Ge and glared at him when he left until he was out of sight. Shen You felt the two of them were interesting, but she could not say anything. She had tried to probe Xie Xiao before, but she did not seem to be interested in Zhu Ge. The two of them looked like two happy enemies, but there seemed to be something missing. Shen You shook her head. She did not want to think about it anymore. They had more important things to do. Shen You stood up and said to Xie Xiao, "Let''s go! If we don''t go back now, Sister Chen will be very busy!" Shen You had recently posted a promotional picture on the internet. It had attracted a lot of business for the coffee shop. Xie Chen had been busy researching new menus and coffee all day long. If she also had to take care of the business at the shop, she would not be able to do both. Shen You and Xie Xiao had to go to school every day, so they could only help when school was over. Xie Chen had been losing weight recently. When Xie Xiao heard Xie Chen''s name, she immediately perked up. She practically lifted Qi Yu from his seat and rushed to the men''s clothing shop that she did not enter earlier. As soon as they entered the store, Shen You and Xie Xiao exclaimed, "It''s a good thing that I brought Huo Xiao with me! Otherwise, how would I choose the clothes?" It was not that there were many types of clothes in the store, but most of these clothes looked the same. Shen You and Xie Xiao were at a loss as to what to choose. Huo Xiao walked over to the clothes rack with familiarity and handed a few clothes to Qi Yu. "Go and try them on!" Qi Yu nodded and walked into the fitting room obediently. While waiting, Shen You urged Huo Xiao to pick a few clothes to try on. Although Huo Xiao did not lack clothes, he also wanted to show himself in front of Shen You, so he did not reject. The store assistant could not help but sigh for getting to watch a show of two handsome men trying out clothes. Chapter 196 - Jealous Shen You and Xie Xiao watched in a daze as Huo Xiao and Qi Yu changed their clothes. Finally, after Huo Xiao changed the third set of clothes, Shen You raised her hands in surrender. "Stop! That''s enough! These clothes are all very good-looking! If you keep trying, I''ll go bankrupt!" The store assistant quickly came over and smiled. "Miss, your two boyfriends look good in anything they wear. They''re good-looking, too. It''s not that our clothes look good on everyone!" Shen You tilted her head and looked at the store assistant. "Sister, aren''t you afraid of offending other customers?" The store assistant glanced at the empty shop and smiled. "Look, there are no other customers at the moment, right?" Seeing the assistant speak frankly, Shen You was speechless. Shen You grabbed Xie Xiao and went to the counter. She turned around and pointed at Qi Yu. "We''ll buy all the clothes he tried on." The staff at the counter looked at Shen You as if she had found a rich person. She glanced at Huo Xiao and asked, "What about that person?" Shen You did not even turn around. "If he wants to buy, let him pay for it himself." Xie Xiao laughed out loud beside her. "Huo Xiao will be sad if you do this!" "Please! He''s so rich. Does he still need me to buy clothes for him?" Shen You could not help but shake her head. "Then you should at least show you''re willing!" Xie Xiao could not help but remind her as she looked at Huo Xiao, whose face darkened. Shen You frowned and thought for a while. "Alright! Get a small one!" The smart staff immediately understood Shen You''s needs. She turned around and took out a small gift box from the counter behind for Shen You. "Miss, what do you think of this?" Looking at the small and exquisite package, Shen You was just about to nod her head when she saw the words "underwear" written in the corner. Her face immediately flushed red. "No need! Just the one he has on him!" Shen You handed over her bank card without thinking. After the end of the shopping spree, Shen You was in low spirit walking slowly in the mall. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You''s pitiful look, she wanted to laugh but at the same felt sorry for her. Huo Xiao carried a bag in his hand and walked behind Shen You with a smile on his face. Qi Yu carried three-four shopping bags and followed the three of them. After they walked out of the mall, Shen You suddenly turned around and glared at Huo Xiao. "Did you do it on purpose?" Huo Xiao raised his chin slightly and looked at Shen You. "It''s just that the timing was right..." Huo Xiao''s nonchalant look made Shen You even angrier. When Huo Xiao and Qi Yu were trying on the clothes, they only tried on a few T-shirts and trousers for daily wear. However, just as Shen You ordered to settle the bill, Huo Xiao grabbed a custom-made suit. Shen You looked at the store assistant''s bright eyes and felt that something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw that Huo Xiao had already put the clothes on him. Shen You wanted to refuse to pay, but the store assistant kept talking about how handsome Huo Xiao looked in front of her. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao''s appearance. Although it was not custom-made for him, it really made him look different. Under the double attack of the surrounding environment and the little devil in her heart, Shen You impulsively made the payment. Seeing the amount of money that she had saved up in her account disappear in an instant, Shen You was so annoyed that she wanted to crawl into the card machine and snatch the money back. Huo Xiao naturally saw Shen You''s frustration, but he did not say anything. At least, this would make Shen You''s mind fill with him! Let her suffer first. At most, he could return the money to her later. Although this money might be an astronomical figure to Shen You, it was not so to Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao''s lips curled up as he looked at Shen You''s expression. He was very happy. Xie Xiao glanced at Huo Xiao. When she saw the smile on his face, she could not help but sigh for Shen You. Shen You must have done something wrong in her past life to fall into the hands of this black-bellied Huo Xiao in this life! Chapter 197 - Systems Warning When they returned to the coffee shop, Xie Chen was holding her head and was in deep thought behind the bar counter. Shen You looked at Xie Chen and waved at the waiter beside her. The waiter immediately ran over. "What''s wrong with Sister Chen?" Shen You asked curiously. "A man came just now. He said a few words and then Sister Chen became like this," the waiter glanced at Xie Chen and whispered. "A man? Who''s the man?" Shen You looked at the waiter. "He said someone from the Zhao family wanted to talk to Sister Chen. They talked about the time and place but I didn''t hear it clearly," the waiter sighed and said. Hearing this, Shen You frowned deeply. "Someone from the Zhao family? Why didn''t Zhao Nan inform me?" Shen You thought for a moment and ignored the crowd. She walked to the corner of the coffee shop and immediately dialed Zhao Nan''s number. When Zhao Nan heard what Shen You said, he was also quite surprised. "I haven''t discussed it with my brother. It can''t be my brother..." "Then?" Shen You paused for a moment. "Your parents?" Zhao Nan''s voice sounded a little bitter. "It''s possible! They should have already noticed." Shen You looked deeply at Xie Chen and said, "I won''t let Sister Chen get hurt again!" Zhao Nan nodded and said, "I''ll also think of a way. I''ll leave Sister Chen to you first!" Shen You hung up the phone and turned around to see Huo Xiao standing behind her. "Do you need my help?" Huo Xiao asked softly. Shen You shook her head and said, "You''d better not interfere in these matters." Huo Xiao smiled at Shen You and said, "I really want to know what''s hidden in that little head of yours." "I''m thinking about how to let everyone live happily." Shen You smiled helplessly. Huo Xiao looked deeply at Shen You and said, "Sometimes, I always feel that you''re very strange." Shen You took a step forward and patted Huo Xiao''s arm heavily. "Don''t worry! I''m still the same person!" Shen You was about to say something when she saw Qi Yu looking at them carefully from afar. Shen You waved at Qi Yu and said to Huo Xiao, "Let''s go! We''ll talk about it later." Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s back. For some reason, he felt Shen You was getting farther and farther away from him. He did not know what Shen You was thinking or what she was going to do! When did it start? Since he started investigating Shen You''s background? For the first time, Huo Xiao had doubts about what he had done. Shen You came to Qi Yu''s side and smiled at him. "How''re things? Is there anything else you want to buy?" Qi Yu shook his head and pulled Shen You''s arm. Shen You subconsciously followed Qi Yu and walked a few steps forward. "What''s wrong?" Qi Yu lowered his voice and asked, "You said that you can help me meet the person I want to meet. Is that true?" Shen You''s gaze swept over Qi Yu''s face and asked, "Do you want to see her now?" Qi Yu hesitated for a moment but did not seem to have made up his mind. Shen You patted Qi Yu''s shoulder and said, "Don''t worry, you''ll see her soon!" Qi Yu was filled with anticipation and fear. It was an indescribable feeling. Huo Xiao looked at the way Shen You and Qi Yu whispering to each other and felt unease. Shen You was about to say something to Qi Yu when the system''s voice suddenly sounded in her mind, "Did you forget that you still have a mission to complete?" Shen you paused for a moment before saying, "Sister Chen''s matter? Didn''t I have..." "No! It''s too late! The Zhao family has come forward!" The system''s voice was full of warnings. "What do you mean? The Zhao family has come forward..." Shen You paused for a moment, "It will affect the progress of my mission?" "Not only that, it might even affect you!" The system''s voice sounded very harsh. Shen You trembled slightly, and her face instantly turned pale. Chapter 198 - Shen You Was Admitted Again Read novel online free fast updates at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net Huo Xiao had been staring at Shen You the whole time and noticed something was wrong with her. Shen You stepped back slightly as if she had been hit by something. Huo Xiao thought that Qi Yu had said something, so he rushed forward and pushed him away. Qi Yu was shocked and looked at Huo Xiao in fright. Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You''s arm and asked, "Are you okay?" Shen You looked up at Huo Xiao as if she was trying to regain her consciousness. Huo Xiao stared at Shen You and asked, "What''s wrong with you?" Shen You finally came back to her senses. The words "you may lose all your luck value" that lingered in her mind gradually disappeared. Shen You took a deep breath and smiled weakly at Huo Xiao. "It''s nothing. I just have some things that I may need to take care of." As Shen You spoke, she gently pushed Huo Xiao''s hand away, wanting to leave. Huo Xiao was still unwilling to let go. He held onto Shen You''s arm tightly. She did not know why, but the feeling of luck value being injected into her made Shen You feel a sense of fear at this moment. She only felt that this method which she had always relied on, might eventually turn into nothing. Even the person in front of her... would disappear? Shen You''s thoughts were constantly changing. Looking at Huo Xiao, her eyes were getting blurred. Finally, while Huo Xiao was repeatedly asking, Shen You fainted. When Shen You woke up again, she was already in the hospital. Shen You secretly sighed. Although she had a short life in her previous life, at least she did not have such a relationship with the hospital. She did not expect to appear in the hospital so often in this life! Shen You sighed helplessly, but she heard someone beside her say, "Is she okay? Is she too tired recently?" "I think so! She must be busy going around for that Qi Yu," another voice said with slight dissatisfaction. Shen You blinked her eyes and looked at the two people beside her. "I want to drink water." She said coquettishly to Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao glared at her before he got up and poured her a cup of hot water. Xie Xiao quickly walked forward and helped Shen You up. Shen You leaned against the headboard and looked at Huo Xiao. "How long did I sleep this time?" Huo Xiao sighed, "Two days!" Shen You stuck out her tongue and smiled awkwardly. Xie Xiao looked at Shen You suspiciously. "Shen You, could it be that you have some hidden illness that you didn''t tell us about?" Shen You spat and said, "If I really have an illness, wouldn''t the hospital be able to detect it?" "Hidden illness?" Xie Xiao guessed again. Shen You couldn''t take it anymore and slapped away Xie Xiao''s hand that was about to reach out. "Forget it! I can''t be bothered to tell you! I''m going back!" Shen You said and was about to lift the blanket and get out of bed. However, Huo Xiao stopped her. "I have something to talk to you." Xie Xiao saw this and quickly raised his hands. "I''ll leave first." Shen You leaned back against the bed helplessly. "What''s the matter? Tell me." Huo Xiao frowned and asked Shen You, "Why did you bring Qi Yu back?" "You investigated him?" Shen You looked at Huo Xiao from the corner of her eyes. Huo Xiao nodded and said, "Yes! I won''t let someone stay by your side without knowing his background." Shen You shrugged and didn''t care. "Since you''ve investigated him, you should know whose son he is, right?" "Then what''s your plan?" Huo Xiao guessed with uncertainty. "You can''t be that childish, right?" "Of course not!" Shen You immediately corrected him. "I just hope that Qi Yu can get the life he deserves." "Why did she treat Qi Yu in such a way?" Huo Xiao did not understand. "Have you found out who Qi Yu''s father is?" Shen You turned her face to look at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao shook his head. "It''s well hidden." "I know!" Shen You smiled, looking very charming. You can read the novel fast updates at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net Chapter 199 - Transfer Student, Qi Yu Read novel online free fast updates at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net Shen You had rested in the hospital for two days. When she appeared in school again, she was already glowing. Xie Xiao walked to Shen You''s desk and leaned against it. She asked, "Have you prepared your surprise?" Shen You nodded and raised her eyebrows slightly. "There will be a good show in a while!" Xie Xiao also revealed a smile. Both of them looked like they had succeeded in their evil scheme. Zhu Ge sat behind Shen You. Looking at the cunning looks of the two of them, he felt that something bad would happen. Before Zhu Ge could think further, the director of studies had rushed in. "Shen You, what do you mean by the report you submitted?" Shen You stood up and said to the director, "Director, the principal has already approved it!" "Don''t you know that during the period of constructing the Star Class, no changes in students are allowed?" The director asked fiercely. "If you have any questions, you can talk to me." The principal suddenly opened his mouth behind the director. The director was startled. The director hurriedly stepped back and said, "Principal, why are you here!" The principal coughed several times before walking forward. Behind the principal was a tall, thin, and fair-looking boy. As soon as he walked into the class, his gaze searched through the crowd. The moment he saw Shen You, the boy revealed a steadfast expression. The girls in the class were all attracted by the boy''s appearance and couldn''t help but whisper to each other. Shen You couldn''t help but shake her head and sigh. Sure enough, all the girls liked little puppies! Qi Yu stood in front of everyone. Although he wasn''t used to it, after the intensive training in the coffee shop, he wasn''t as nervous as before. "Let me introduce the transfer student of our class. His name Is Qi Yu!" The principal said and pushed Qi Yu forward. Qi Yu clenched his hands and secretly cheered himself on. He then said, "Hello, everyone. I''m Qi Yu. I''m transferred here today." Qi Yu had just finished speaking when the girls in the class all screamed. Qi Yu''s voice sounded very clear, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. Coupled with his image as a little puppy, it instantly moved the hearts of countless girls. Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at each other and saw the expression of ''as expected'' on each other''s faces. Qi Yu didn''t say anything else. Instead, he stood where he was and waited quietly. The principal didn''t say anything else. He only let Qi Yu go to the seat at the back and sit down. Qi Yu was relatively tall, so sitting at the back didn''t affect anything. After the principal was done with his job, he slightly raised his eyebrows in Shen You''s direction. Shen You secretly gave the principal a thumbs up. The principal turned around and left. The class was instantly silent. However, a few seconds later, the class was noisy again. "Who is this Qi Yu? He was brought here personally by the principal?"A boy asked curiously. "Yes! This is so strange! Why would the principal care about this kind of thing!" Another boy also said, feeling puzzled. Generally speaking, the principal would not interfere in the matter of transfer students. He did not even know who the transfer student was. This Qi Yu obviously had special treatment! After the principal left, a few more curious female students began to gather around Qi Yu. "Qi Yu, which school did you go to in the past?" A female student asked enthusiastically. "What do you usually like to do? Let''s go out and have fun when we have time!" Another girl was even more direct. Shen You looked at Qi Yu''s helpless look as he desperately asked for her help and suddenly felt a little funny. The director, who had been forgotten by everyone, became even angrier at this moment. He suddenly slapped the blackboard. "What are you all doing!" "That newcomer, did I ask you to sit down?" The director asked fiercely. Shen You glanced at the director and was about to speak for Qi Yu when she heard the familiar sound of high heels in the distance. The corner of Shen You''s mouth rose slightly, but she didn''t move. You can read the novel fast updates at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net Chapter 200 - Offend Seeing no reaction from Qi Yu, the director slapped the blackboard even harder. "You! Can''t you understand what I''m saying?!" "Do you understand the rules?! Don''t you know you need to stand up to answer the director''s questions?!" The director was even more frustrated. Seeing this, Qi Yu hurriedly stood up from his seat. Before he could say anything, he saw two people walk in. When Qi Yu saw that woman, the expression on his face changed slightly. Seeing the woman, the director of studies immediately bent his body slightly. "Ms. Ling, you''re here!" Ms. Ling walked into the classroom, and the young man was following behind her. Ms. Ling turned her head and was face to face with Qi Yu. She looked slightly puzzled but did not say anything. The expression of the man behind her changed instantly. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating. Ms. Ling looked at Qi Yu and asked coldly, "Who is this person?" The director quickly said, "According to your guidance, we are not supposed to accept transfer students." "But I don''t know where the principal had recruited this child..." the director looked troubled. Ms. Ling looked at Qi Yu and somehow felt that she had seen this face somewhere before. Qi Yu also stared at Ms. Ling, with his eyes never leaving her. Shen You looked at the two of them with an expression of waiting to watch a good show. "Who approved your transfer to this class?" Ms. Ling asked Qi Yu in an overbearing manner. Qi Yu bit his lower lip slightly and looked in Shen You''s direction before saying, "It''s... the principal." Ms. Ling''s gaze swept to the director of studies at the side as if she was questioning what was going on. The director sighed and resigned himself. "The principal''s arrangement should be for the sake of our class." "This..." the director tried hard to find an excuse for his explanation. Shen You sat at the side and said coldly, "Aren''t you going to let him introduce himself first?" "What''s his name, where did he come from, and what''s he good at?" Shen You seemed to be reminding Qi Yu. Qi Yu went along with Shen You''s words and said immediately, "My Name Is Qi Yu. I''m from the Wisdom Heart Nursing Home. I''m good at..." Before Qi Yu could finish speaking, Ms. Ling''s expression suddenly turned ugly. "What did you say about your name?" Ms. Ling asked in a questioning tone. Qi Yu raised his chin slightly and stared at Ms. Ling. He was secretly cheering up himself. "My name is Qi Yu!" Ms. Ling instantly collapsed and fell to the side. The man behind her quickly went forward to help her up. Ms. Ling looked at Qi Yu, and a strange expression flashed across her eyes. Qi Yu''s eyes were fixed on Ms. Ling''s face the entire time as if he was trying to find something on that face. Ms. Ling panted slightly. After a long while, she whispered a few words to the man beside her. The man said to the director, "We have things to do, that''s all for today." "Also..." the man lowered his voice and said a few words. The director nodded in fear and trepidation. The man helped Ms. Ling out of the classroom and did not look at Qi Yu again. Qi Yu''s gaze followed them all the way until they disappeared at the other end of the corridor. Qi Yu stood where he was and did not move at all. Shen You looked at Qi Yu''s dejected expression and could not help but shake her head and sigh. The director of studies glared fiercely at Qi Yu. "Do you know who you''ve just offended?!" "Our nation''s and even world-class leader of education!" the director said with a trembling voice. "You people don''t know what''s good for you!" the director said, pointing his finger at all the students in front of him. "If Ms. Ling gives up on our school, the school is finished! Finished!" After saying that, the director snorted and left the classroom quickly. Qi Yu still stood there without moving. Shen You knew that Qi Yu recognized that person, and that person also recognized Qi Yu. However, Qi Yu was not as excited as she had imagined. But that person was as surprised as she had imagined. She wondered how Qi Yu was feeling with such a meet-up? Chapter 201 - Play Truant When the class ended, Shen You thought Qi Yu would be unhappy as he was not used to the environment. However, Qi Yu had unexpectedly adapted to the environment so quickly as the girls in the class were so passionate. He did not even have the chance to chat with Shen You. Shen You secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a little helpless. If she had known that she could bring Qi Yu out so easily, she would have acted earlier. Although from a certain point of view, Shen You had been forced into such a desperate situation by Ms. Ling! Shen You looked in Qi Yu''s direction and was in a daze. Huo Xiao sat on the other side observing Shen You. His mind was thinking about something else. Shen You had been acting very strangely recently. It seemed that ever since she found out about her background, she had refused to interact with the Shen family even more. Recently, the Shen family had been very active in contacting the Huo family. It seemed that they knew about Shen You and Huo Xiao being together. However, the Huo family had never been interested in unscrupulous families. They also avoided the enthusiasm of the Shen family. This was one of the things that troubled Huo Xiao. Lin Shu had disagreed with Huo Xiao and Shen You being together! Shen You did not notice Huo Xiao''s behavior. She was thinking about how she should deal another blow to this Ms. Ling. This woman had already angered Shen You by hurting Qi Yu, and now she was even trying to bully her! The more Shen You thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly stood up. Huo Xiao did not react in time, but he was shocked by Shen You. "What''s wrong?" Huo Xiao looked at Shen You''s angry face and asked. Shen You gritted her teeth and said, "I want to take revenge!" "Huh?" Huo Xiao did not know where Shen You''s "revenge" came from. He looked at her, feeling puzzled. Shen You thought for a while, turned her head, and stared at Huo Xiao with shining eyes. "How about that? Young Master Huo, please help!" Huo Xiao blinked innocently at Shen You. "Tell me what you want to do first." Shen You smiled mischievously and whispered something into Huo Xiao''s ear. Hearing this, Huo Xiao nodded. "That''s right! It''s something my girlfriend would do!" Shen You had initially thought that Qi Yu could attend school now, everything would be smoothly resolved. On the third day of school, she didn''t expect Qi Yu to be in the cafe early in the morning, and he refused to go to school. Shen You frowned and looked at the wilful child. "Why aren''t you going to school?" Qi Yu grabbed his bag and sat on the chair without moving. "I don''t like them, and they don''t like me!" Shen You sighed helplessly. "It takes time to get to know each other!" "I don''t like that place! I don''t want to go anymore!" Qi Yu was still acting out. Shen You knew that Qi Yu''s behavior was probably related to the fact that Ms. Ling did not show up in the past two days. Moreover, as Qi Yu''s behavior was a little weird compared to his peers, the students in the class felt bored with him after a few days of curiosity. Some had even begun to suspect that there was something wrong with Qi Yu''s brain! Shen You looked at Qi Yu helplessly and asked, "What would it take for you to go to school? Going to school is for your own good!" Qi Yu shook his head. "I don''t need to go to school! I know everything that''s taught in class!" "You know everything?" Shen You looked at Qi Yu in disbelief. "I don''t even dare to say that I know everything!" Qi Yu nodded deliberately and said, "I''ve learned all these things. I''ve already learned them a few years ago!" Shen You was even more surprised to hear what he said. "Where did you learn them?" "The nursing home!" Qi Yu said matter-of-factly. "The director hired a teacher for me. I''ve learned everything I need to learn!" Shen You was indeed surprised. "You mean you''ve been taking private tutoring courses?" Qi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Probably! It''s because I''m the only one who needs to study in the nursing home." Shen You could not help but pat her forehead and sigh in her heart. That''s right! When she first met Qi Yu, he was also well-read and talented! How could she have thought that Qi Yu had never gone to school? Shen You silently scolded herself for being an idiot before she said to Qi Yu, "Since you''ve already learned all, why don''t you enjoy school life?" Qi Yu immediately rejected her. "I don''t enjoy it! I''m not happy!" Shen You immediately revealed her final trump card. "Ms. Ling will be there in the next two days!" When Qi Yu heard this, he immediately stood up. "When?" Shen You secretly laughed and said, "Maybe today!" Qi Yu struggled for a moment before saying, "Then let''s go!" Shen You looked at Qi Yu''s back and smiled. "This fellow is really easy to fool!" However, Shen You did not lie to Qi Yu completely. There was a high probability that Ms. Ling would show up in school today because.... Chapter 202 - Ling Ruis Return Due to building the Star Class for the elite class, all the students were suffering from inhuman torture every day. Shen You couldn''t stand such things and wanted to break the shackles. There was no better way. Since she caught hold of Ms. Ling''s sore spot, Shen You planned to make good use of it. However, Qi Yu was resistant to going to class now. To prevent his positivity from being impacted, Shen You had simply thought of every way. After entering the classroom, Qi Yu returned to his seat and leaned silently on the desk. A few girls walked past Qi Yu and whispered to each other. Shen You noticed that they were discussing Qi Yu''s matter. Thus she stood up and walked to them. "What were you guys talking about just now?" When the girls saw that it was Shen You, they rolled their eyes in disgust and were about to leave. Shen You once again turned around and stood in front of the girls. "I asked you what you were talking about just now." One of the girls was furious. She put her hands on her waist and puffed out her chest. "We said that he looks like a fool. What''s wrong with that?" Shen You raised her eyebrows. "Say that again?" The girl was even angrier. "He''s a fool. What''s wrong?" Shen You was about to step forward and teach the girl a lesson when she heard a stern shout not far away. "What''s all the fuss about?!" Shen You''s brows relaxed slightly and stepped back. She turned her body slightly and saw Ms. Ling walking in as expected. The corners of Shen You''s mouth curled up slightly as she thought to herself, "So she still cares about Qi Yu!" While Shen You was secretly happy, Ms. Ling said coldly, "If you all want to make a fuss, please leave this class!" Shen You looked at Ms. Ling, and her expression changed again and again. "They bullied and insulted our classmates!" Ms. Ling talked down to Shen You. "So, you want to stand up for your classmate?" "A person who doesn''t dare to stand up and speak for himself. Is it worth it for you to do this?" Ms. Ling''s eyes swept in Qi Yu''s direction. Qi Yu knew that Ms. Ling was referring to him. He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he realized he didn''t know what to say at all. Qi Yu withdrew himself and remained leaning on the desk, not moving. Shen You looked at Qi Yu''s aggrieved look and her expression became ugly. "Are you using your so-called ''worth or not worth'' to judge whether this person is of value to you?" "If a person is of no value to you, are you going to abandon him?" Shen You asked in an interrogative tone. Ms. Ling did not seem to expect Shen You to ask such a question and her face instantly turned dark. However, she still tried her best to maintain her poise and said, "How I choose is not based on his value, but..." Ms. Ling paused for a moment and looked in Qi Yu''s direction again. She took a deep breath and said, "I''m just choosing what''s the best for him!" "Do you think that the best for him means good to him?" Shen You sneered. "In the end, isn''t it all for your own good!" "What you think is the best for him may only make him suffer more in the end!" Shen You criticized the other party without holding back. Everyone in the class looked back and forth at the conversation between Shen You and Ms. Ling. For a moment, they were confused. The director, who had rushed over, was frightened when he saw Shen You''s arrogant attitude towards Ms. Ling. He was just about to apologize to Ms. Ling when he was interrupted by someone who had just entered the class. That person behind the director said, "Excuse me." The director turned around to vent his anger and nervousness on the person. "Why are you late?!" Ling Rui looked at the director and quickly covered his face with his hand. After the director finished speaking, Ling Rui put down his hand and said, "I''m here to cancel my leave." Shen You didn''t expect Ling Rui to come to the school and looked at him in surprise. "Have you recovered?" "Looks like it!" Ling Rui answered Shen You''s question with the director standing in between them. Bypassing the director who was still in a daze, Ling Rui walked into the class. He tilted his head and saw the woman standing on the podium. "Auntie?" The woman also saw Ling Rui and frowned. "Why aren''t you staying in the hospital?" Ling Rui pursed his lips and did not say anything. Shen You could tell at a glance that Ling Rui was also very helpless against this powerful auntie. Shen You had long noticed the relationship between Ling Rui and Ms. Ling. Ms. Ling saw that Shen You and Ling Rui seemed to have a good relationship, she shook her head disapprovingly. "Since you''re here, attend your class properly. Otherwise, go back to the hospital and rest." Ling Rui nodded his head and walked to his seat. In the eyes of others, Ling Rui was still the same gloomy person. However, in the eyes of Shen You, Ling Rui had completely changed. Shen You could even see in Ling Rui''s eyes that he was cursing and resisting in his heart. Shen You felt it''s funny. Chapter 203 - Qi Yus True Identity Qi Yu looked at Ling Rui with anticipation in her eyes. Ling Rui glanced at Qi Yu but did not have any reaction. He just quietly sat down on a seat not far away. Qi Yu seemed to be a little disappointed and quietly returned to his seat. After Ling Rui''s interlude, Ms. Ling once again faced Shen You with a domineering stance. Perhaps it was because of the incident with Ling Rui that Ms.Ling once again regained her prestige. Shen You rubbed her nose and looked in the direction of Qi Yu. Qi Yu was spiritless. Obviously, the conversation between the two of them had once again hurt his feeling. Ling Rui looked in the direction where Shen You was looking. He looked at Qi Yu''s somewhat familiar face and thought about it seriously, but he could not remember who he was. Just as everything seemed to be back to square one, Huo Xiao suddenly stood up. He glanced in the direction of Shen You and then said to the director of studies. "Director, may I ask what is the essence of running our school?" The director was stunned by the question. He looked at Huo Xiao and blinked for a long time, but could not say anything. Huo Xiao turned to Ms. Ling and said, "Ms. Ling, on behalf of our class, I question your ability to educate and manage us." Ms. Ling did not expect Huo Xiao to suddenly speak up. Just as she was about to say something, the director interrupted her. "Huo Xiao, why are you so rude?" The director did not dare to be too strict with Huo Xiao, so he could only ask in a gentle tone. Huo Xiao still looked at Ms. Ling. He was neither humbling himself nor showing disrespect to her. "Although you have a lot of achievements in the field of education in the country and abroad, we cannot agree with your own failure." "Me?" Ms. Ling raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not think there was anything wrong with her. "Yes! Regarding your so-called elite education, the survival of the fittest, I express my doubts!" Huo Xiao looked at Ms. Ling, though his tone was not as aggressive as Shen You''s. Ms. Ling sneered instead. "Huo Xiao, I thought that as the only son of the Huo family, you should have the consciousness to become an elite." "I didn''t expect you to hang out with these people all day long and you have even forgotten who you are!" Ms. Ling said in an interrogative tone. Huo Xiao''s expression did not change. He only said, "Your so-called elite may just be a false title." "For a person who can abandon her own son, what elite are you talking about?" Huo Xiao''s words hit hard on Ms. Ling. Qi Yu raised his head to look at Huo Xiao. His eyes were full of anticipation. Huo Xiao did not look at Qi Yu, but only at Ms. Ling. "Now, Ms. Ling, is this the way you plan to teach us how to become an elite?" Ms. Ling gritted her teeth and glared at Huo Xiao. "I don''t know what you''re talking about!" Huo Xiao looked at Ms. Ling coldly. "You abandoned your son because he was diagnosed with problems with his intelligence along with autism when he was three years old, didn''t you?" Huo Xiao pointed out Ms. Ling''s past mercilessly. Ling Rui stood up, wanting to speak up for Ms. Ling. After all, this was a family matter of the Ling family. It was not good to be dragged out in public. Huo Xiao looked at Ling Rui coldly and said, "If you don''t know about it, don''t say anything." Ling Rui was stunned by Huo Xiao''s attitude, and his intention to defend himself immediately faded. Huo Xiao looked at Ms. Ling again. "In your eyes, as long as a person or thing has a slight flaw, it''s hopeless?" Ms. Ling''s expression became even more unsightly. "What exactly are you trying to say?" "Do you know why the principal wanted a transfer student to come in? Why did he go against the contract when you tried to stop him?" Huo Xiao said as he looked in Qi Yu''s direction. Ms. Ling opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to say something but didn''t say it out loud. "Do you think the principal would be so lame that he would want a student who might affect the school''s reputation just to deal with you?" Huo Xiao smiled. "He even specially arranged this student to be in the elite class?" Huo Xiao''s voice was cold and hard, forcing Ms. Ling''s face to turn dark. Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in surprise. She had initially thought that the principal had agreed to Qi Yu''s admission because of her pleas. Was there another reason behind this? "I wonder if Ms. Ling has paid attention to this year''s Booker Prize nomination. One of the authors named ''Ling'' has been shortlisted," Huo Xiao suddenly said something that was not relevant. "It is said that Ling is a Chinese author. People think that his words are exquisite and touching, and have a strong sense of vicissitudes..." as Huo Xiao spoke, he turned in Qi Yu''s direction. "Most people guessed that he should be a woman with rich life experience. However, no one could imagine that he is actually a young man below 20 years old," Huo Xiao said as he walked towards Qi Yu. "The reason why his works are touching is that all the emotions described in his works are real!" Huo Xiao stood in front of Qi Yu and asked softly, "Is that right?" Chapter 204 - The Culprit Qi Yu looked up at Huo Xiao with a complicated look in his eyes. He had never thought that he would meet his mother in such a way, nor did he expect her to be so excited to meet him. All he wanted was to be by her side! Huo Xiao sighed helplessly and turned to Ms. Ling again. "I think you don''t have good judgment on people. You''re not capable of educating us at all!" Ms. Ling looked at Qi Yu with a strange gaze. After a long while, she walked out of the classroom without saying a word. Seeing this, Qi Yu hurriedly chased after her. Shen You had wanted to stop him, but Huo Xiao stopped her. The director of studies was so angry that his face turned ashen. He pointed at the students in front of him with a trembling finger. "You bunch of ungrateful people..." The director was so angry that he could not continue speaking. He waved his hand and turned to leave. Shen You raised her eyebrows at Huo Xiao. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The rest of the class finally realized that the devil seemed to have been chased away by Huo Xiao and Shen You. They instantly cheered. While the group of people was excited, the principal walked in through the back door. He coughed lightly and the class instantly became quiet. The principal raised his chin at Huo Xiao and Shen You. "You two, come here!" Shen You stuck out her tongue at Huo Xiao, and the two of them followed the principal out of the classroom. When they arrived at the principal''s office, the principal walked past the office desk and sat down. Huo Xiao and Shen You stood in front of the office desk, waiting for the principal to lecture them. "The two of you are really smart. You actually dare to use me as a shield!" The principal glared at the two of them with an unperturbed expression. Without waiting for Shen You to speak, Huo Xiao spoke first. "It''s not Shen You''s fault. I found out something on my own." "So you dragged me, an old man, into this?" The principal snorted discontentedly. "Principal, you can''t say that!" Shen You immediately spoke up. "Look, after what Huo Xiao had said today, in our hearts, you are a hidden and insightful expert behind the scenes!" Shen You gave the principal a thumbs up. However, the principal looked at the two of them with disdain. "Don''t flatter, I''m tired of hearing it!" "Let me tell you, the only reason I allowed you to mess around today is that I hope..." the principal said and hesitated for a moment. Shen You immediately continued, "You hope we can use our words to clean up the atmosphere in the school!" The principal glanced at Shen You. "You know the best!" Shen You chuckled and said, "Don''t worry, Principal. I guarantee I''ll do what I have promised you!" "As long as that woman stops bossing our class around, I guarantee the entire class will graduate smoothly!" Shen You promised. Huo Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this promise. "That''s it? Do you really think the principal has agreed to help you just because of this?" Shen You pouted unhappily. "Can''t you be simpler?" Huo Xiao sighed and said, "Principal, if there''s anything else you want, just say it!" The principal laughed and leaned back on his chair. He looked at Huo Xiao and said, "Huo Xiao, you''ve really inherited all the good qualities of your parents!" "I''m not hiding anything from you guys. I''m also under a lot of pressure for this Ms. Ling to come," the principal looked at the two of them and said helplessly. "I just want to use you to get her out of the school," the principal said with his eyes darting between the two of them. "Of course, I''m also very satisfied with the guarantee that Shen You gave me," the principal revealed a sly smile. "After all, it''s not easy to manage that group of monkeys in your class!" "Although you''re all students of the elite class, you know how your grades are!" The principal said and sighed. "I don''t expect you to win any glory for the school. As long as you can graduate successfully, It''s considered I have done my part in the eyes of your parents." When the principal said this, he looked especially weary. Shen You glanced at Huo Xiao and pursed her lips, feeling as if she had been cheated. Since it was a sure-win business for everyone, everyone was happy. However, was Ms. Ling really that easy to defeat? Shen You and Huo Xiao returned to their class, but what greeted them was the coldness of the class. Even Xie Xiao looked at Shen You with a strange expression. Shen You felt a little strange. She grabbed Zhu Ge and asked, "What''s wrong with you two?" Zhu Ge shrugged and said, "Why didn''t the two of you tell us such a big thing!" "Besides, do you know how regretful those girls who used to laugh at Qi Yu are now?" Zhu Ge said as he looked at the girls in front of him. Shen You followed Zhu Ge''s gaze and saw the resentful eyes of those girls. Shen You quickly raised her hands to show her innocence. "I was not aware either! Really!" After Shen You said that, everyone looked at the culprit -- Huo Xiao. Chapter 205 - Deeply Hurt Ling Rui looked at Huo Xiao strangely. "You know who he is? You also know their relationship, right?" Huo Xiao looked at Ling Rui with a sense of guilt on his face. "I didn''t expect you to come to school today." "Whether I come or not, you will still do this. You never care about other people''s feelings!" Ling Rui accused sternly. Hearing Ling Rui''s words, Shen You hurried went forward and wanted to explain. However, Ling Rui raised his hand and stopped Shen You. "I thought that we would become friends!" "Have you ever thought what you are doing is very selfish!" Ling Rui''s face was full of pain and annoyance. Shen You was a little dissatisfied with Ling Rui''s attitude. She said, "Do you think that your family can be innocent no matter who they hurt?" "Think about it. That person is your aunt, but she hurt her own son!" Shen You was agitated and was panting. Ling Rui''s expression changed in an instant. He waved his hand and walked past the two of them, leaving the classroom without looking back. Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other. When they turned back, they saw that the other people in the class were looking at them in surprise. Although they could tell the relationship between Ms. Ling and Qi Yu from the series of exchanges just now, most of them were still a little surprised. Xie Xiao also did not expect Qi Yu and Ms. Ling would have such a relationship. She was really shocked. The thing that surprised her the most was that Qi Yu was actually a celebrity! The little admiration in Xie Xiao''s heart was immediately ignited. Shen You pulled Huo Xiao out. She wanted to find Qi Yu, she had to at least apologize to him first. The two of them went from the school to the coffee shop, but they could not find any trace of Qi Yu. Shen You thought about it and decided to go to the nursing home to look for him. However, Qi Yu did not return to the nursing home either. When the director of the nursing home heard about Shen You and Huo Xiao''s actions, he had initially wanted to reprimand them. However, after thinking about it, he sighed. "Qi Yu has always been a thoughtful child. He has never been willing to admit that his mother abandoned him." The director could not help but sigh. Shen You knew that she had been a little reckless this time, but she still insisted on her way of doing things. "When dealing with people like Ms. Ling, without sufficient impact, she won''t admit her mistakes!" "So what if she admits her mistakes? Will she bring Qi Yu back?" The director looked at Shen You and asked. Shen You was stunned for a moment. She hadn''t thought about this question. "She won''t!" The director said earnestly, "If she was willing to admit that she had this son, she would have taken Qi Yu back long ago!" "The reason why she isn''t willing is that Qi Yu is her illegitimate child and has been sick since young." The director''s face revealed a sorrowful expression. "This is a stain to her life!" Shen You finally understood why Ms Ling had such an attitude towards Qi Yu! However, to Qi Yu, Ms. Ling was his mother. She was the person he looked forward to meeting the most! Shen You bit her lower lip and asked the director, "Director, do you know where Qi Yu will go?" The director thought for a moment and said, "Go to the back of the mountain and take a look! There''s a piece of Qi Yu''s mother''s stone there!" Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other and quickly walked towards the back of the mountain. From a distance, they saw Qi Yu leaning against a big tree with a huge stone tablet beside it. The words on the stone tablet could not be seen clearly, but they could vaguely hear Qi Yu talking to the stone tablet. Shen You hesitated for a moment and decided to walk over. She had just taken a few steps when Qi Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at her. "Don''t come over!" Shen You was shocked. She did not expect Qi Yu to speak to her in such a stern manner. "Qi Yu, I''m really sorry today!" Shen You hurriedly apologized to Qi Yu. Qi Yu leaned back against the big tree and said, "It''s okay. It''s not your fault!" "It''s my fault. That''s why Mom abandon me!" Qi Yu said as he gently touched the stone tablet at the side. Shen You looked at Qi Yu with some heartache. "No, it''s not your fault!" Huo Xiao gently pressed Shen You''s shoulder, indicating for her not to speak. Huo Xiao stepped forward in front of Qi Yu. "You already knew about your mother." "You didn''t go to her because you knew she wouldn''t bring you back, right?" Huo Xiao stared straight at Qi Yu. Qi Yu looked up at Huo Xiao, something was flickering in his eyes. Chapter 206 - Qi Yu Going Abroad Huo Xiao looked at Qi Yu. The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Qi Yu spoke again, "I know she won''t accept me." "I went to look for her once. I wanted her to know that I miss her." Qi Yu smiled bitterly. "At that time, I heard her evaluation of me and knew that I was trash in her heart." Qi Yu''s smile looked especially sad. "When Shen You found me, I thought that I could give myself confidence again and make myself the pride of her." Qi Yu lowered his head slightly. "In the end, even though she knew of my existence and my value, she still didn''t want me." Tears were flowing on Qi Yu''s face. Shen You walked over and knelt beside Qi Yu. "I''m sorry! I''m really sorry! I didn''t know things would turn out this way!" Qi Yu raised his head to look at Shen You, the tears on his face were glistening. "I should thank you." "Although you have broken my dream, you have also made me realize that I can not give up my future for a person that I can not get," Qi Yu said as he gently extended his hand to Shen You. Shen You placed her hand in Qi Yu''s. Qi Yu held Shen You''s hand. "Thank you for giving me the strength to walk out. I will not be trapped in that place anymore." "I know. The director has always wanted to send me abroad to study." Qi Yu smiled bitterly. "But I was too stupid to think that I could make her notice me at the nearest place to her." "I won''t let myself fall into such a predicament again!" Qi Yu said as he pulled Shen You up slowly. Shen You looked at Qi Yu with slightly red eyes. "It''s great that you can walk out now!" Qi Yu nodded slightly at Huo Xiao, released Shen You''s hand, and strode in the direction of the nursing home. He did not look back, nor did he look at the mother''s stone that he had relied on for more than 10 years. Shen You looked at the words carved on the stone tablet, and her heart moved slightly. On the stone tablet, the words "Miss You, Ling" in English were carved. Huo Xiao held Shen You''s hand and followed in the direction of the nursing home. Qi Yu did not follow Shen You back to the coffee shop. Instead, he chose to stay in the nursing home and wait for the notice to leave the country. In the evening, Shen You sat alone on the sofa in the coffee shop after all the guests had left. She quietly thought about the things that had changed since her rebirth. She knew that many things had changed because of her. Some were good, some were bad... Shen You didn''t know what kind of consequences her decisions would bring to others. When she saw what happened to Qi Yu, she was suddenly a little afraid... "System, do you think it''s too much for me to interfere in other people''s lives?" Shen You asked with a slight sigh. The system didn''t answer immediately. Instead, it waited for a while before saying, "Many of your choices are indeed from your own standpoint." "But your original intention was for their own good, wasn''t it?" The system''s voice sounded very gentle. "It''s like, I didn''t ask for your permission for your rebirth. Would you blame me?" The system asked. Shen You shook her head slightly. "No, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity." "It''s just that I don''t know whether I should be reborn or not..." For the first time, Shen You questioned her rebirth. "I don''t want to disturb other people''s lives, and I don''t want them to suffer because of me," Shen you said as she held her head in frustration. The system''s voice sounded a little weary. "Maybe I''m too selfish. I hope you have a chance to choose your fate." Shen You''s eyes turned red when she heard the system''s words. "I want to have control of my fate, but I don''t want to destroy the fate of others!" "This is the inevitable price." The system''s words were a little cold-blooded. It caused Shen You to feel a chill down her spine suddenly. "Who exactly are you?" Shen You once again asked the question that had troubled her for a long time. "Perhaps, the answer to the riddle will reveal very soon!" The system said as its voice gradually faded into the distance. Shen You knew that the system would not answer her question anymore. She sighed quietly and hugged her body tightly in the dark night. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Shen You looked at the phone and realized that it was an unfamiliar number. She picked up the phone and answered, "Who is calling, please?" "Shen You? This is Chen Shen.." A somewhat weathered voice sounded on the phone. Chapter 207 - Chen Shens Plan Chen Shen made an appointment to meet Shen You at a restaurant in the city center. Although Shen You didn''t have a good impression of Chen Shen, she didn''t reject. She really wanted to know what deal Chen Shen and Shen Jiao had stricken, which had made the two collude with one another. When Shen You arrived at the restaurant, she looked inside and easily found Chen Shen. Chen Shen was a man who looked very energetic with a good temperament. It was no wonder that many young ladies were chasing after Chen Shen. Shen You came to the table, greeted him politely, and sat down. Chen Shen looked at Shen You and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "You do look very different from previously." "Previously?" Shen you looked at Chen Shen strangely. "Uncle Chen, have we come into contact before?" Chen Shen smiled enigmatically and said, "Order whatever you want." Shen You did not stand on ceremony. She took the menu and ordered the most expensive dishes on it. Chen Shen did not say anything. He even looked at Shen You dotingly as she ordered the dishes. After ordering the dishes and waiting quietly, Shen You finally could not hold it in any longer. She asked, "Uncle Chen, let''s be frank. Why did you ask me to come here?" Chen Shen revealed a satisfied smile as if he was waiting for Shen You to ask a question. "You know about the engagement between Shen Jiao and me, right?" Chen Shen looked at Shen You, and his face was full of smiles. "I know. It''s just a transaction." Shen You nodded and directly exposed him. "You''re very smart, but not smart enough," Chen Shen said, the expression on his face looked a little strange. "What do you mean?" Shen You looked at Chen Shen cautiously. "Between her and me is not just a transaction." Chen Shen opened his mouth again. "Or rather, our goal is not this transaction." Chen Shen said strange things which almost confused Shen You. "I think I don''t need to know what the two of you are going to do." Shen You interrupted Chen Shen. "You just need to tell me why you asked me to come today!" Shen You said impolitely. Chen Shen was stunned for a moment, then he revealed a smile of admiration. "Good! I like candid people!" "I know you and Shen Jiao are not the Shen family''s biological daughters. So you don''t have the right to inherit the Shen family''s property." Chen Shen was sort of instigating. "I hope that you both can join hands and help me seize the Shen family''s property!" Chen Shen finally revealed his true colors. Shen You revealed a strange expression. "Aren''t you and Shen Hao on good terms?" "On good terms? Where did you get that from?" Chen Shen''s expression became even gloomier. "If it''s not because of him, I wouldn''t have ended up this way!" Chen Shen''s eyes revealed hatred. "Let me tell you, I can''t wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood!" Chen Shen said, gritting his teeth. Shen You didn''t expect Chen Shen to hate Shen Hao so much. She moved backward slightly and said, "Then, what do you want me to do?" "Join hands with Shen Jiao and make Shen Hao divide the property," Chen Shen shared his thoughts. "Next, what you can do is..." Chen Shen leaned forward slightly and whispered to Shen You. When Shen You heard Chen Shen''s plan, her eyes could not help but widen. Chen Shen was not trying to seize the family property, he was trying to put Shen Hao to death! Shen You did not agree with Chen Shen immediately. She told him that she still needed to think about it. Chen Shen did not reject, but only said, "If you know your background, I''m afraid you won''t reject my suggestion!" Shen You bit her lip slightly and did not continue with the topic. After a meal that she could not swallow, Shen You rushed back to the coffee shop. When she returned to her room, Shen You called Huo Xiao. After he heard Chen Shen''s suggestion from Shen You, he instantly told Shen You not to act rashly. He would be there soon. The two of them combed through Chen Shen''s suggestion in Shen You''s room. "It seems that Chen Shen wants your father, ah, no, it''s Shen Hao, to die without a burial place!" Huo Xiao could not help but sigh. In Chen Shen''s plan, he had plotted against the Huo family, Zhao family, Ling family, and even the Wu family. Chen Shen planned to make these big families all the collateral victims of Shen Hao so that he could annex Shen Hao''s assets and even shake the status of the big families. For such a plan, not to mention one or two years of planning, it would probably take more than 10 years. What had Shen Hao done to Chen Shen that made him hate him to the bone! Chapter 208 - Help The Shen Family Shen You did not understand Chen Shen''s motive at the moment, but she was concerned about Chen Shen''s suggestion. Although the Shen family did not treat her well, they had provided her with a comfortable life for many years. And now it was suspected that she was not the Shen family''s biological daughter, regardless of the Shen family''s purpose, they did not kick her out. It was unfortunate that Shen Hao''s two daughters were not his biological daughters. No matter what, Shen You could not let his family fall apart. Moreover, Shen Po and Shen Rong treated her quite well. Shen You, therefore, decided to help the Shen family. Shen You arrived at the Shen family''s home early the following morning. As Shen Hao left early for work every morning, Shen You worried that she would not be able to see him. Thus she rushed over without taking breakfast. When she arrived, as expected, the whole family except Shen Jiao was eating breakfast together. Shen You looked at the Shen family and suddenly felt for it. The Shen family was actually quite pitiful. They had been schemed against so miserably, but they knew nothing about it! Shen You walked into the dining room, greeted Li Ru, and then said to Shen Hao, "Dad, I want to talk to you." Shen Hao looked at Shen You in surprise. He frowned slightly, obviously not keen to interact much with Shen You. Shen You ignored Shen Hao''s resistance and said, "I know the reason for the company''s recent situation." Shen Hao was stunned to hear this. He put down the bowl and chopsticks without saying a word and turned to walk upstairs to the study. Shen You followed Shen Hao all the way to the study. After entering the study, Shen Hao sat down on the sofa and looked at Shen You coldly. "How do you know about the company''s matters?" Shen You ignored Shen Hao''s attitude and sat down on the sofa on the other side. "There''s a will, there''s a way!" "You!" Shen Hao was angered by Shen You''s attitude, but he could not flare up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me everything you know!" Shen You looked at Shen Hao''s angry face and suddenly felt that she had vented some of the grievances that she had suffered over the past few years. After all, he was not her biological father. Shen Hao probably knew about this relationship long ago, which was why he was so mean to her. Now it seemed it was worthy that the Shen family had provided for her in the past few years. Shen You deliberately lowered her voice and said, "What actually happened was..." Hearing Shen You''s words, Shen Hao suddenly stood up from the sofa. "You mean that Shen Jiao is also involved in this matter?" Shen You nodded and said, "Chen Shen deliberately came to rope me in because he wanted me to help him." "However, I feel that this matter does not do any good to me. Since I don''t want any of the Shen family''s assets, I came to tell you." Shen You''s attitude towards Shen Hao had long lost the previous respect and cautiousness. Shen Hao took a deep look at Shen You and said, "Don''t you blame me for being mean to you all these years?" Shen You scrunched her nose and felt like retorting, "You know it, too!" But after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Shen You shook her head and said, "We don''t have any maintenance obligation. You had brought me back to the Shen family. Regardless of your motive, you had provided me several years of luxurious life." "I think we are even now. When this matter is over, I hope we have no more connection," Shen You said as she stood up to face Shen Hao. It was the first time Shen Hao looked at Shen You face to face. He realized that she was actually completely different from what he had thought of her! After Shen You left, Shen Hao sat alone in the study and looked at the photo in his hand. It was a wedding photo of him and Li Ru. It was the happiest moment after they broke through the shackles of the two families and finally got together. However, as the business grew bigger, Shen Hao became busier. It was very hard for Li Ru to take care of the children at home alone. The gap between the two of them also grew bigger. At that time, Shen Hao blamed Li Ru for not knowing how hard it was for him to make money. Li Ru blamed Shen Hao for only caring about making money and not caring about the family. The two of them were on the verge of divorce at one point. However, it was because of the children that they had reluctantly carried on. After that, Shen You''s birth seemed to have changed their relationship. Li Ru became gentle and considerate, and Shen Hao also realized the importance of his children to him. Then Shen Hao accidentally found out that his daughter had been switched! He searched frantically and finally found Shen You! However, he did not hurriedly bring Shen You home. After all, he could not simply recognize the Shen family''s bloodline. He sent people to take care of Shen You secretly and also carefully checked Shen You''s identity. It was also at that time that Shen Hao found out Li Ru had betrayed him! Shen You was not his daughter! Chapter 209 - Farewell Or Reunion? After Shen You left the Shen family''s home, she called Huo Xiao. The two of them agreed to meet at Shen You''s small park. "So you''ve explained everything to Shen Hao?" Huo Xiao asked as he looked at Shen You''s carefree expression. "Yes! I''ve told him everything!" Shen You took a deep breath and said, "I''ve never felt so relieved before." "Then what do you plan to do next?" Huo Xiao looked deeply at Shen You. "Leave the Shen family completely?" Shen You shook her head and said, "Shen Hao told me that he still treats me as his daughter." "After all, in his mind, he should have a daughter," Shen You said faintly with a bitter smile. "He''s actually quite pitiful!" Shen You said as she looked at Huo Xiao. "Tell me, what is the purpose of cheating?" Huo Xiao gently pulled Shen You into his arms and said, "Perhaps cheating is for a better life." "But, I don''t want to cheat you, so please don''t cheat me, Okay?" Huo Xiao said as he hugged Shen You even tighter. The corners of Shen You''s mouth curled up slightly as she hugged Huo Xiao''s waist with both hands. "I''ll try my best!" Huo Xiao was obviously dissatisfied with Shen You''s answer. He wanted to pull her out and ask her for an explanation, but Shen You was hugging him so tightly that he couldn''t pull her out at all. Huo Xiao sighed and said, "I don''t know if I owe you something from my past life!" "Maybe!" Shen You said without hesitation. "Then tell me, what do I owe you?" Huo Xiao asked softly with a smile on his face. "You owe me an encounter!" Shen You said seriously. Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment and didn''t say anything, but he hugged Shen You even tighter. Shen You returned to the coffee shop and saw Xie Chen writing something behind the bar counter. She poked her head out to take a look and found Xie Chen was recording the details of her daily work, as well as the specific quantity and price of each purchase. "Sister Chen, what are you doing?" Shen You asked curiously. "I''m planning to go abroad for some time. I''ll leave this place to you and Xiao Xiao." Xie Chen raised her head and looked at Shen You with a smile on her face. "Go abroad? Why? Do you trust us with the shop? We don''t know anything!" Shen You quickly declined. "Of course I do! You''re creative, she''s hardworking, it''s a perfect match!" Xie Chen said sincerely. Shen You quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no! If you don''t manage the overall situation here, the two of us definitely won''t be able to do it!" Xie Chen held Shen You''s hand and said, "Don''t worry! I won''t be gone for too long!" "I just want to have a change of environment and learn some better skills!" Xie Chen said with an expectant smile on her face. "Actually, I''ve long wanted to go abroad to further my studies. But this shop... I really can''t leave it behind!" Xie Chen''s face was full of relief. "Now that you guys are here, everything is fine!" Shen You frowned at Xie Chen and asked suspiciously, "Are you doing it to hide from Brother Zhao Pu?" Xie Chen shook her head and said, "Before I leave, I''ll tell him clearly! Don''t worry!" Shen You looked at Xie Chen''s determined expression and suddenly felt a sense of admiration. She gave Xie Chen a thumbs up. "Sister Chen, you really are my idol!" The smile on Xie Chen''s face deepened. "Then you have to take good care of the shop for your idol!" "Don''t wait for me to come back to find out this shop is no longer in existence!" Xie Chen warned Shen You, but with her face full of smile. Shen You quickly raised her hand and swore, "Sister Chen, don''t worry. The shop exists if I exist. The shop closes if I..." Before Shen You could finish, Xie Chen stopped her. "Okay, okay! I don''t want the shop to close!" "I still have some matters to attend to tonight. Help me take care of the shop!" Xie Chen instructed Shen You. Shen You blinked her eyes and looked at Xie Chen. "Are you going to see Brother Zhao Pu?" Xie Chen paused for a moment and nodded. "Since the Zhao family has already come knocking on our door, we have to resolve the matters between us!" Shen You looked at Xie Chen. At that moment, she felt that there was a light behind Xie Chen. Shen You grabbed Xie Chen''s hand and said, "Sister Chen! You have to believe me! Brother Zhao Pu has you in his heart! The misunderstanding between the two of you, I hope..." Xie Chen interrupted Shen You again, "I know what you said, but time really changes many things!" Shen You knew that there was no way to persuade Xie Chen anymore, so she could only accept. That night, Xie Chen and Zhao Pu arranged to meet at the restaurant where they had their first date. As Zhao Pu''s health was not good, Zhao Nan sent him to the restaurant and waited at the side. Shen You and Xie Xiao were worried, so they handed the restaurant over to the staff and went along. The three of them waited at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for Xie Chen and Zhao Pu to get back together. Chapter 210 - The End After an hour, Xie Chen walked out of the restaurant with Zhao Pu. Seeing the three people waiting outside, Xie Chen and Zhao Pu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Xie Chen nodded slightly at Zhao Nan and walked towards Shen You and Xie Xiao. Shen You and Xie Xiao walked side by side, holding Xie Chen''s arm. The three of them walked side by side on the street. Zhao Nan glanced at Zhao Pu and asked, "Brother, Sister Chen, she..." "She has changed so much!" Zhao Pu''s eyes never left Xie Chen''s back. "Then you guys..." Zhao Nan asked anxiously. Zhao Pu shook his head and didn''t say anything. Zhao Nan''s heart went cold. He was worried that his brother was going to be depressed again. Just as Zhao Nan was lamenting, Zhao Pu spoke again, "She said that she wanted to go abroad to further her studies. I think she''s giving me a chance." Zhao Nan looked at Zhao Pu in surprise. "Do you want to go with her?" Zhao Pu turned to look at Zhao Nan and revealed a smile. "Yes! This is my last chance!" Hearing Zhao Pu''s words, Zhao Nan nodded and said, "Brother! I support you!" Zhao Pu patted Zhao Nan''s shoulder and said, "Thank you! You will also meet such a woman!" Zhao Nan listened to Zhao Pu''s words and looked at the three people who had left. "Perhaps, I have missed her..." After the three returned to the coffee shop, Xie Chen went into her room and did not come out. Xie Xiao pulled Shen You to sit on the sofa in the living room and watched a horror movie. Xie Xiao held Shen You''s arm tightly. From time to time, she even remembered to stuff a potato chip or two into Shen You''s mouth. Shen You was amused for a moment. "If you''re afraid, why do you still want to watch?" Shen You sighed and looked at Xie Xiao who had almost closed her eyes. "I''m afraid! But with you around, I''m not that afraid!" Xie Xiao said seriously. Listening to Xie Xiao''s words, Shen You suddenly felt good. In her previous life, she had never been needed by anyone. She was the unnecessary one and no one cared about her! But now it was different! The people around cared about her and needed her. This was the meaning of her existence! She was no longer the Shen You who used to be despised by others! Suddenly, a voice sounded in Shen You''s mind, "You finally stopped giving up on yourself!" "Second System! You''ve finally appeared!" Shen You''s voice sounded a little relaxed. "Maybe you don''t need me anymore!" The system sounded a little depressed. "But without you, without luck value, my life..." Shen You was worried when she heard what the system had said. "Haven''t you noticed? Everyone around you is constantly injecting luck value into you. If you''re with them, your luck won''t be bad!" The system said with a smile. "So, you won''t accompany me anymore?" Shen You suddenly felt a bit disappointed. "I''ll still leave eventually!" The system sounded reluctant. "But I haven''t seen you yet!" Shen You said. She reached out her hand to grab it but realized that she had no idea where the system was. The system''s voice was gentle and somewhat familiar. "What do you think I''ll look like?" Hearing this voice, Shen You took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly turned red, "Like Grandma..." "Then you can imagine I look that way!" The system said softly. "Being able to help you on your path in life is my greatest wish." The system''s voice gradually faded away. Shen You tried calling the system back, but she realized that no one had responded to her. Shen You slowly shed tears. Her sadness was just like how she felt when her grandmother passed away. She knew that the system had always been helping and taking care of her, just like when her grandmother was by her side. Auntie Shu Qing once said that her grandmother was a lonely old woman. Her husband died when she was young, and her child died a few years later. When Shu Qing helped Li Ru find this grandmother to take Shen You in, it was as if her grandmother had seen her family again. She treated Shen You as her own child. For so many years, Shu Qing had been taking care of Shen You because of guilt. Not long before Grandma passed away, she knew that her health was not in good condition. So she begged Shu Qing to make the Shen family take the child back. Shu Qing did as she was told, but she did not appear by Shen You''s side again. Shen You remembered Grandma liked to hug her and sit under the old banyan tree outside the courtyard, talking about the things that happened when she was young....
