(five)

Hearing her mother's voice and smelling her scent, Ye Wenyu realized that she had truly woken up from the nightmare. Yes, she had been reborn; her mother had not died, and her reunion with Lin Tingfeng was just a nightmare.

Because of her rebirth, she has no reason to be trapped in painful memories, because that is the end of her past life. She also has no reason to be depressed or fearful, because she has the experience of her past life and knows how to choose the right path in life.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu cheered up, lifted her head from Zhang Susu's embrace, smiled slightly, and said gently, "Mom, I'm alright."

Zhang Susu nodded and forced a smile, saying, "It's good that you're alright. Pack your things and come out for breakfast." Ye Wenyu nodded, and Zhang Susu went out to prepare breakfast.

Ye Wenyu stretched lazily in the golden morning light, smiled brightly, looked at her slender, fair arms, and then at the ordinary, inexpensive clothes she was wearing. She thought happily that being reborn was wonderful, and this time, she would definitely cherish the opportunity.

Now that I've decided to face life alone, I need to be positive. Today I'm going to register at school, so let's pack my bags right away.

She quickly opened the wardrobe, only to find that all the clothes had been packed away and placed in suitcases. It was summer, but the winter clothes—the coats and cotton-padded jackets—that had been hanging properly in the wardrobe were now all gone. The entire wardrobe was empty; not a single garment could be seen hanging there. Where had all the winter clothes gone?

Ye Wenyu was stunned for a moment. She saw two huge suitcases in the wardrobe. One was a gift from her mother when she was in high school. The other was a silver suitcase, twice the size of the black one. It was brand new and must have been a new one from her mother.

She crouched down, opened the two suitcases, and was shocked to find all her clothes for all four seasons, including shoes, bags, and a few pitiful cheap cosmetics and jewelry, all packed in the two suitcases. Why did her mother pack her winter clothes as well so that she could take them back to school?

She sat on the ground, bewildered, but then she understood. Her mother had already sold the house and was leaving home today to register for school. From now on, the dormitory would be her home, and she would never be able to come back.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. However, since it was already a fact, there was no need to be sad over and over again. Therefore, she forced a smile and stood up again.

Cheer up. Since it's already a fait accompli, there's no need to be sad over and over again.

Since her mother had already packed all her luggage, she didn't have much to pack. She would simply put on some makeup and head out to school. Makeup would make her look more attractive and energetic. Her past life experience told her that no matter how hard life was, she shouldn't show it, because there were few people in the world who truly cared about you, and many more who wanted to laugh at you.

Even if you have no fixed abode and eat meager rations, you must still dress smartly and attractively so that no one will know you are not doing well and then laugh at you and take advantage of your vulnerability.

Ye Wenyu walked to the dressing mirror and began to put on makeup. She washed her face, applied moisturizer, foundation, then drew her eyebrows, applied eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick. In less than ten minutes, a charming face appeared in the mirror.

She has large, grape-like eyes with long, fan-like eyelashes, a straight nose, small, cherry-like lips, a face no bigger than the palm of her hand, skin as white as snow, delicate and deep features, smooth facial lines, and thick, dark hair that cascades down her shoulders like a waterfall. She is 1.67 meters tall and, being a top student, possesses a unique scholarly air that makes her elegant and refined.

From childhood to adulthood, Ye Wenyu never thought she was very pretty; at most, she was not bad-looking. However, in her previous life, almost every man who appeared in her life was infatuated with her. So, looking at her face in the mirror, she thought, maybe I really am beautiful, even more beautiful than the great beauty Lin Tingyue? You know, Lin Tingyue's birth mother was a very popular star back then.

She is beautiful without realizing it, and her face shows no smugness or pride. Instead, she is humble, low-key, gentle, and quiet, which makes many men's hearts flutter.

However, thinking about the nightmare she had last night, she was terrified of reuniting with Lin Tingfeng in this life, after all the hardship of being reborn, and then being loved by him.

Ye Wenyu pursed her lips, pondering how to avoid being loved by Lin Tingfeng. Meeting another person is random and uncontrollable. Although she didn't want to see Lin Tingfeng again in this life, in the future, perhaps on the street, perhaps in a scenic spot, perhaps in a company, perhaps in a restaurant, Lin Tingfeng would unexpectedly meet her.

So what is within her control, so much so that even if Lin Tingfeng sees her in this life, he won't fall in love with her, thus keeping her away from a tragic life?

Ye Wenyu pondered deeply, looking at herself in the mirror, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her. Men are all lustful; Confucius said that food and sex are human nature. This is a world that values ​​appearance, and looks are paramount. In her previous life, she, a poor girl, was able to rise to power and eventually possess wealth that many people could not earn in several lifetimes. Lin Tingfeng's mad love for her must be because of her face.

If she were to work on her face and become an ugly monster, Lin Tingfeng would definitely not fall in love with her!

She remembered a female classmate in junior high school with a birthmark the size of a palm on her face. The boys in the class looked at her like she was a monster and kept their distance. Yes, the best way to avoid getting entangled with Lin Ting was to make herself look ugly!

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu became happy and immediately started applying makeup to her face. A few minutes later, a huge birthmark appeared on her left cheek, a large red patch with a disgusting black mole on it, which was very conspicuous and made her look nothing like a beauty, but rather like an alien monster.
