"Okay, okay, drive carefully."

Li Qiao was overjoyed and waved goodbye all the way to the intersection.

Once the familiar figure disappeared from sight in the corner, she reluctantly turned away and went home, but as soon as she turned around, tears began to fall.

She looked at Mu Xujiang a few steps away, tears streaming down her face. She choked out, "Xuelian is gone. She's not Xuelian!"

No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and Li Qiao immediately noticed that something was wrong.

A strange soul has taken over her daughter's body.

She was radiant, she was wonderful, but she wasn't her daughter.

Mu Xujiang stepped forward, hugged Li Qiao, patted his back, and then said softly, "Let's go upstairs to Xue Lian's bedroom first. She's been acting strangely lately. If she really left, she would definitely leave us something behind. She wouldn't be so heartless as to say nothing."

Having raised his daughter for so many years, Mu Xujiang trusted his own judgment.

Having parents like them must have been painful for Mu Xuelian.

But some things don't disappear because of pain.

Their daughter is gone, but the person living inside her body is still a person, so they need to be rational, because it is still their daughter's body.

Li Qiao nodded, and the couple went home together and went upstairs.

They used to never look through their daughter's things.

Now, they are searching for any clues with tears in their eyes.

Mu Xuelian didn't have the habit of keeping a diary; she would read novels. The couple quietly searched through the room, putting things back in their place after finding them. By the end of the morning, they had searched the entire room.

Finally, they found a letter left by Mu Xuelian in an old photo album.

It read: To Mom and Dad.

Li Qiao's tears flowed incessantly, and Mu Xujiang opened the letter with trembling hands.

The letter didn't contain much; it was filled with her daughter's familiar handwriting.

Mom and Dad, I am so grateful to you for giving birth to me and bringing me into this world.

Because you love me so much and treat me so well, it makes me feel very warm.

I also hate you for giving birth to me. Why are you such parents?

Why do people laugh at me? Why do I have no friends?

I made a wish to God: I want to have a different body.

If I pass away one day, that will be my wish coming true.

The person who comes into my body will become your new daughter.

I know what I did was wrong, but I couldn't control myself, and I was really unwilling to accept it.

Hate me, resent me, I'll repay the debt of gratitude I owe you in my next life.

"It seems her wish has come true."

Mu Xujiang closed the letter with tears in his eyes. He sighed softly and then patted Li Qiao's shoulder to comfort her.

"Let's pretend none of this happened, let's pretend we know nothing. We just need to continue raising her, and let her fly free when she's ready to fly."

Mu Xujiang knew Li Qiao was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do to change that.

He couldn't bring himself to resent his daughter, Mu Xuelian, so he could only bury his sorrow in his heart.

Li Qiao leaned against Mu Xujiang, not saying a word.

They leaned against each other like that, waiting for the sadness to subside.

Then the couple continued their lives as if nothing had happened.

Fang Yuan felt very novel after becoming Mu Xuelian. After going out, she secretly pinched Mu Xuelian's chest and muttered to herself, "So beautiful. I'll find a chance to let Tian Tian see it later and make her so envious."

On her way to school, someone whistled at her.

Fang Yuan stopped, put his hands on his hips, and spat at him: "Shut up! Take a piss and look at yourself. You're short and ugly, and you've even started acting like a hooligan. If I were you, I'd buy a block of tofu and smash my head against it."

Fang Yuan never holds back when it comes to those who are unkind.

Her scolding made the young man blush and scramble away.

Fang Yuan cursed Fang Yuan to his heart's content along the way.

She scolded the person who whistled.

The old woman who had been gossiping about her was also brought to tears by her scolding.

Arriving at the classroom just before class started, Fang Yuan glanced at Su Tiantian, their eyes meeting in perfect unison. Meanwhile, Mu Xuelian, residing in Fang Yuan's body, turned pale with nervousness and dared not look at him.

Fang Yuan walked to the seat that belonged to Mu Xuelian, but the boy sitting outside refused to let her go and instead stared at her chest with ill intent.

Fang Yuan chuckled, slapped the boy's cheek twice, and then said coldly, "What are you looking at? Didn't you get enough of your mother at home? Or did your mother not grow up? Didn't you drink it when you were a kid?"

The boy was so startled that he dropped the pen he was holding.

She immediately stood up from her seat as if struck by lightning, not daring to look at him, her face already red.

Fang Yuan sneered and went inside to sit down.

When faced with all sorts of hurtful words, the only solution is to retaliate with insults.

When faced with unfriendly stares, yelling back is a good option.

Some people don't bully others because they're powerful; they just take advantage of people's weakness to bully them.

Once you fire boldly, he'll run faster than a grandson.

Fang Yuan's actions made many classmates look at her with new respect.

So when get out of class ended, Fang Yuan used Mu Xuelian's body to start making friends.

Instead, Mu Xuelian, who resided in Fang Yuan's body, fell silent.

As Fang Yuan's best friend, Su Tiantian naturally wanted to ask her about it.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you today? You seem a bit strange. Is something wrong?"

Mu Xuelian was very uncomfortable with Su Tiantian's concern.

She glanced at Su Tiantian's eyes and then nervously lowered her gaze to avoid them. She stammered, "I, I'm fine. I, I just didn't sleep well yesterday. Yes, I didn't sleep well."

Mu Xuelian's heart raced; she was terrified that Su Tiantian would notice something was wrong.

Su Tiantian pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

She said casually, "Didn't you sleep well? Then don't doze off later, or I won't help you avoid the teacher's gaze."

Mu Xuelian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, okay."

Su Tiantian sighed quietly.

Even with Mu Xuelian's poor acting skills, she could still keenly sense that something was wrong with her good friend, even if she didn't understand metaphysics.

Because the real Fang Yuan would only say to her, "Su Tiantian, if you don't help me, we'll break up. You won't be able to eat my mom's roasted pork chops and noodles anymore. And when I become a rich woman, I won't buy you a big gold watch anymore."

She could perform this childish trick very well when she was three years old, but she can't perform it well when she grows up.

Fortunately, Mu Xuelian had something to hide and couldn't see through her clumsy cooperation.

The first day ended with Mu Xuelian experiencing many setbacks.

Mu Xuelian returned to Fang Yuan's home. She was in a bad mood because she had run into that rude boy again that night, and he had humiliated her once more.

Mu Xuelian wanted to cry, so she only ate a few bites of food before returning to her room, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to portray Fang Yuan well and that Fang Yuan's parents would notice something was amiss.

Fang Yuan's side, however, went very smoothly.
