If she doesn't want to go back to the Song family, she won't go back; Bai Yan has no intention of going back at all.

Taking this opportunity, Bai Yan applied to live on campus. With Chen Yi's help, and the fact that she was a promising student in the principal's eyes, she was able to get a dormitory room that very night.

——

"Your mother is a real scumbag?" Uncle Shen said.

He truly never expected that there would be such a person in the world who would scold his daughter without saying a word.

Even if his disappointing child gets first place, he'll wonder if the child prayed to the God of Literature before the exam, and got all the questions right by guessing. Who would immediately point at their own child and accuse them of cheating?

Bai Yan only smiled bitterly.

Both of them were children whose parents didn't love them. Shen Yi felt sorry for his nephew, and therefore felt sorry for Bai Yan. He said, "You're only starting boarding school today, so you probably don't have all your things yet. Come on, Uncle will take you to buy all the things you need for boarding school."

"No need to trouble you, Uncle—"

"What's the trouble? You're tutoring my brat!" Uncle Shen said, patting Shen Mubai on the back.

The tall, blond-haired boy turned around, his handsome features filled with impatience. "If you don't go now, I'm leaving."

"Come on, Xiao Yan, let's hurry! Otherwise, we'll be left without free labor to carry things after he leaves!" Uncle Chen said, jogging forward.

Bai Yan couldn't help but smile slightly: she had experienced too many worlds and seen too much malice, and she couldn't help but feel moved by Uncle Yu Chen's pure and kind heart.

Shen Mubai turned his head back and saw her smiling: the girl's coldness had faded, and her smile was like cherry blossoms in full bloom in summer.

Bai Yan bought basic toiletries, and Uncle Shen insisted on paying for them, saying, "My son is a bit slow, and you've wasted a lot of time on tutoring, so this is compensation from your uncle!"

Shen Mubai: ...

Afterwards, the three of them had a simple meal together at school before Bai Yan returned to her dormitory. Private dormitories in G City are not commonly used; most are two-person rooms. Since Bai Yan didn't have a roommate, she washed up and went to sleep.

She slept exceptionally well that night.

...

"Breakfast." Shen Mubai stepped across the classroom and tossed the things in his hand directly to Bai Yan.

Afraid she wouldn't accept it, he said, "My uncle gave it to you."

Every day, I have vegetable and tofu buns.

Will the Song family really cut off her living expenses? What are they thinking, a seventeen-year-old girl? Are they afraid she won't go astray?

Bai Yan took it and smiled at him, "Please thank Uncle Chen for me."

Why was he smiling at him again? Shen Mubai felt extremely embarrassed, so he lowered his head, covered his face with his school uniform, and pretended to be asleep.

Bai Yan opened a carton of milk, just as she was about to drink it.

"Wang Feifei has already been punished because of you, and you still have the mood to drink milk!" The table was suddenly slammed, and the milk that Bai Yan had just opened shook and spilled on the table and on her school uniform pants.

Bai Yan looked up; she was a girl in the class who was usually close to Wang Feifei.

Song Sisi also walked over, and standing next to her was a handsome young man—Pei Xun, Song Sisi's boyfriend, future husband, and the male protagonist of this world.

The male lead is an excellent student, excelling in every subject, and is in the Tsinghua-Peking University class. He wouldn't have come here if it weren't for Wang Feifei.

"Xiao Yan, please forgive Fei Fei this once. We're classmates, don't be so cruel." Song Sisi's eyes were slightly red. "She's already apologized to you, what is there that can't be forgiven?"

Bai Yan said, "I apologized to her too."

She looked at Wang Feifei and said, "Didn't I already apologize to you before I refused to accept your apology? Is it so unforgivable that I can't forgive you?"

Wang Feifei was lying down pretending to be pitiful, so how could he dare to reply to her?

Pei Xun frowned and said, "Bai Yan, don't try to argue your point. Even if Wang Feifei did something wrong, does that mean you're completely right?"

Bai Yan: "Even if I did something wrong, does that mean you were all right?"

Pei Xun: ...

He then leisurely wiped the milk off the table before looking at the girl in front of him and saying, "Apologize to me."

The girl laughed: "What, you're reluctant to waste the milk? Yeah, you poor, annoying brat, even your mom doesn't want you anymore."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yan stood up, crushed the milk carton in her hand, grabbed the girl in front of her, and poured the full carton of milk into her clothes.

The girl screamed, "Bai Yan!"

Just as she was about to make a move, Shen Mubai stood up. His golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight, and his beautiful eyes coldly looked at the girl. "Try moving her."

The girl didn't dare to get angry when he looked at her, so she just glared at Bai Yan and went to the bathroom to tidy up.

Song Sisi bit her lip. She hadn't expected Shen Mubai to help Bai Yan, as he never cared about class matters.

Pei Xun glanced at Shen Mubai, then revealed a look of disgust and disdain: of course he disliked this unruly illegitimate son of the Pei family.

"Do you have any tissues?" Bai Yan asked.

Shen Mubai took out a neatly folded handkerchief and gave it to him. Bai Yan lowered his head and wiped the milk off his fingers before looking at the crowd in front of him: "What, are you all putting pressure on me, bullying me, and forcing me to forgive Wang Feifei?"

Song Sisi frowned pitifully, "Ayan, don't always think the worst of others. You're fine, but Feifei is going to get a demerit. You even dragged the whole class to take a make-up exam. Now the classmates don't like you. If you continue like this, you'll become more and more unsociable."

"Is conformity always right? Most scientists used to think the Earth was flat, but it turns out that what is right doesn't require conformity."

Before Song Sisi could speak, Bai Yan continued, "Or are you saying that I deserved to be framed for plagiarism by Wang Feifei? That it's wrong for me to resist?"
