After regaining her composure, Nan Qu carefully observed the courtyard.

It's a wooden structure. Upon entering, there's a sidewalk paved with pebbles and flagstones. To the left is a rockery, and to the right is a fishpond with a water pipe made of bamboo tubes. The locals call it Luwei, or Tianshui.

Further in, there's a small wooden arched bridge over a gently flowing stream. Beyond that, a lush bamboo grove rustles in the breeze. In the center of the courtyard stands a massive cherry blossom tree, its pink petals falling like snowflakes. Beneath the tree is a wooden bench, seemingly waiting for someone to sit and quietly admire the beautiful scenery. In a corner of the courtyard, there's a delicate little pavilion, surrounded by various flowers that exude a delicate fragrance. The entire courtyard is filled with a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Passing through the courtyard, you arrive at the house. The entire house is constructed of wood, with a sloping roof covered in thick thatch. The windows are large and bright, and through the paper sliding doors, you can see the simple yet elegant interior layout. A pair of straw sandals sits by the entrance, next to a copper basin filled with water for visitors to wash their hands and feet before entering. Stepping inside, the floor is covered with tatami mats, soft and comfortable to walk on barefoot. Several ink paintings hang on the walls, adding an artistic touch. The furniture is all made of wood, with simple, flowing lines, giving a natural and rustic feel. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor, making everything seem so harmonious and beautiful.

To be honest, Nanqu prefers this place to Emilia's villa.

The surroundings were very quiet and had a Zen-like atmosphere.

"Hehe, I knew you'd like it, so I specially found this background character for you~"

In the original owner's memory, the house belonged to her grandmother. After her grandmother passed away, the house was entrusted to a law firm and was to be transferred to her when she came of age.

So, all things considered, in two more years, this house will be hers.

It seems pretty good.

"Not only that, the author's will in this world is weak, and the main spacetime will has not yet been generated. Therefore, apart from the main plot, passersby like you are not subject to interference. In other words, you will not be controlled by the will of the host."

This is definitely good news.

Although she doesn't like this country, it would still be nice to have a place like this to rest.

Of course, this isn't a contradiction. If this formula could bring about the destruction of her life, she would do it for ten lives, let alone one.

Nanqu walked into the kitchen and saw the refrigerator full of ingredients, knowing that it was prepared by the Kitahara couple next door.

The elderly couple from Kitahara were employees frequently hired by the original owner's grandmother.

Grandpa Kitahara was in charge of maintaining the yard and the house appliances, while Grandma Kitahara was in charge of cleaning the rooms and preparing food for her.

They would occasionally bring over delicious food they made.

The food in the refrigerator was prepared by her.

Nanqu made herself a simple bowl of noodles and ate it before returning to her room.

The room wasn't Japanese-style; it was modern, complete with a bed, wardrobe, and dressing table. It had a very girly vibe.

Standing in the room, a scene suddenly appeared in Nan Qu's mind.

A little girl clapped her hands happily as she watched an elderly couple paint her room.

Nan Qu touched her slightly sore chest. Even a passerby is a protagonist in their own world, and naturally has their own will.

Although it was very faint, it was her haven for the original owner of this body.

Even though the person who protected her is no longer there.

Nan Qu shook her head, shaking off the emotion, and went back to her room to sleep.

She seems to be going to school tomorrow.

Nan Qu smiled wryly, hoping that tomorrow's class wouldn't involve so many complicated things.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

No one needs to bring their own lunchbox at elite schools, but they do need to wear school uniforms! Wearing short skirts in the dead of winter, Nanqu admires this lifestyle.

Fortunately, she possessed strong internal energy, so she didn't feel cold. However, she always felt that she would get rheumatism, so she took out a pair of "bare leg" tights and put them on.

As for the school uniform, Nan Qu wore it as required by the school, but she felt cold all over even before she went out.

So she went back and put on her down jacket, then put her coat on top of it.

Take the elevator and go down to the basement.

The garage of this villa is located on another street. Normally, the family's cars are driven directly to the back street and into the garage.

However, this place is relatively close to the school, so the original owner usually left for school from here.

Along the way, people kept looking at her, but Nan Qu didn't care. Instead, she pulled the hood of her down jacket out of her school uniform and put it on her head to block the wind.

"puff!"

"Songbei, why are you wrapped up like a bear?"

Nanqu looked up, not recognizing the person. She looked down and continued walking.

......

"Songbei, you still can't remember what I look like?! We were deskmates for three years, and you still don't remember what I look like?"

Nan Qu looked up at her: "Two years. I just started school this year."

choke.....

"No, why are you dressed like this? If the head teacher sees you like this, you'll definitely get points deducted. If the class gets points deducted, that old hag will definitely cause trouble again."

"It's cold~ I can't just freeze to death for her points, can I? What's so precious about points? Can they buy a life?"

Eiko Odagiri was speechless again; she had no idea her deskmate was so good at making people choke.

Nanqu continued walking forward, and Odagiri Eiko realized what was happening and chased after her. She wanted to see if Matsukata would also choke on the headmaster and that old hag, the homeroom teacher.

However, to Eiko Odagiri's surprise, Matsukata walked into the classroom so openly that the head teacher seemed not to have seen it.

She widened her eyes, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.

Just when she thought her outfit was acceptable, she heard the head teacher call out to a girl who was wearing leggings.

So, the head of the teaching department didn't see her?

Just now, when Songbei came in, he greeted her with a "Yo~".

Wait, "Oh?"

Eiko Odagiri felt like she was in a fantasy world.

Especially after seeing each student bowing respectfully to the head of the teaching department, she felt that something was not quite right.

Back in the classroom, Eiko Odagiri noticed that Matsukata's big cotton-padded coat was gone, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

As Nan Qu entered the shoe-changing area, she felt a bit hot. Knowing that the classroom was heated, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to wrap herself in a big cotton-padded coat.

Nanqu arrived a bit early, got herself a glass of water, and after sitting in the classroom for a while, she saw her deskmate.

She saw the name Eiko Odagiri in her notebook and that's how she learned what Odagiri's name was.

However, that's not very important. What she's more curious about is whether her target class is in this class.
