Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 312 Coming and Going in Haste
"Ah Yue, you have to believe in yourself. You are the most perfect person in the world. You don't need to doubt your appearance."
"Proper beauty and skincare are enough to maintain beauty; there's no need to do anything unnecessary or counterproductive."
To dissuade her from getting plastic surgery, Shen Xuewei took out her phone, searched online, and handed the phone to her.
Xu Yue looked at the photo displayed on her phone and asked in confusion:
"Weiwei, why did you send me this?"
The person in the photo looks strangely shaped; their face has a strange sense of incongruity and a futuristic feel.
"Didn't you say you wanted to get plastic surgery? This is the result of a botched plastic surgery."
In that instant, Xu Yue almost threw the phone away.
She swallowed hard. "A botched plastic surgery can turn out like this..."
Fearing she would smash her phone, Shen Xuewei quickly snatched it from her hand.
"Scared now?"
"Everyone has the right to love beauty. Appropriate cosmetic surgery, and enough money to maintain it, is really nothing to worry about."
"But you're different. Your face was already good enough, and plastic surgery would have backfired, ruining your natural advantages."
She glanced at Xu Yue and said, "Ah Yue, what you lack most is confidence. Stop thinking about how you're not good enough; you're good in every way."
"Listen to me, don't even think about getting plastic surgery again, okay?"
Xu Yue was already shocked by the picture, and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and never think about this again."
Seeing the lingering fear on her face, Shen Xuewei decided to reinforce the impression on her every now and then, so that she would never dare to have plastic surgery again.
After walking along the street for a while, Xu Yue said goodbye.
"Weiwei, I'm going back now. I have an audition for a film tomorrow..."
It was a rare treat to see her, yet she was leaving so soon. Shen Xuewei sighed with melancholy.
"I'll take you to the train station. Next time, I'll find a chance to visit you in the capital..."
Xu Yue repeatedly stopped her, "Hey, hey, no need. You have class this afternoon, I can go by myself. You don't need to come to the capital. I'll come to Shanghai to find you when I have time."
She insisted on refusing, and Shen Xuewei couldn't get her exact address in the capital.
Xu Yue flagged down a taxi on the side of the road and waved to Chen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, I'm leaving now. I'll remember what you said."
She came and went in a hurry, leaving after only a few hours.
Watching the car speed away, Shen Xuewei stood for a while before slowly walking towards the school.
With the daily tug-of-war, Huang Xin was dragged out of bed by Lu Jiayi 20 minutes before class started at 8 a.m.
The cool air from outside the blankets instantly cleared my head.
She let out a wail, "What kind of world is this? I'm already in college, and I still have to go to class at eight in the morning, in this freezing weather, and Teacher Luo is still so strict..."
If the rules weren't enforced so strictly, she could simply not go, or have someone else take her class.
But this Teacher Luo, though old, had a good memory; he matched people's names with their appearances in the very first lesson.
Huang Xin had previously hired a substitute teacher, but the teacher recognized her at a glance, kicked her out of the classroom, and even wrote down her name.
She could miss any other class, but she dared not miss Teacher Luo's class again.
Wake her up, and Lu Jiayi's task for today is finished.
"Get up quickly! There are only twenty minutes left. After you brush your teeth and wash your face, hurry to the classroom. I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you breakfast to the classroom later. Get up now."
After giving her hurried instructions, she rushed out, pushed her bicycle, and panted as she caught up with Shen Xuewei and Su Shu ahead of her.
"Hey, Weiwei, wait for me, don't kick your legs so fast."
She shouldn't have said anything, because once she did, Su Shu, who was sitting on the back of Shen Xuewei's bicycle, pushed off the ground with her long legs. Shen Xuewei didn't even need to exert any effort, and the bicycle actually went even faster.
Witnessing this scene, Lu Jiayi was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.
She knew it; Su Shu was always doing nothing right.
The three of them arrived at the cafeteria on two bicycles, one in front of the other.
Lu Jiayi caught up and walked beside Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, come quick! There are some freshly baked savory pancakes here, piping hot..."
Although Shen Xuewei prefers a light diet, the savory pancakes at school are really delicious, and she couldn't forget them after trying them once.
"Okay, I'll have it once. Auntie, could you cut me three yuan's worth of savory pancakes?"
"Jiayi, I want to go to the soy milk window to queue up first. Auntie, could you hold it for me after you've cut it up?"
"Okay, can you get me a serving of soy milk too?"
"no problem."
The three of them bought breakfast and quickly left the cafeteria.
Shen Xuewei and Lu Jiayi were riding their bicycles and didn't have time to eat.
Only Su Shu sat leisurely on the back of the bicycle, occasionally taking a bite of a steamed bun.
When I arrived at the classroom, there were still three or four minutes before class started.
The group chose a spot to sit down, and Shen Xuewei took out the breakfast she had bought and quickly finished it before the teacher arrived.
After finishing the last bite of the savory pancake, Shen Xuewei drank the still slightly warm soy milk. Through the window, she saw an elegant old man walking towards her empty-handed. She finished the last sip of soy milk and took the book out of her bag.
Teacher Luo walked to the podium, glanced at the students below, and nodded slightly after confirming that the number and appearance of the students matched.
"Alright. Last time we covered lesson seventeen. Let's continue from where we left off. Turn to page one hundred and three in your books..."
He didn't bring any books, because he had compiled them himself, and he could know what was written in them even with his eyes closed.
After teaching two classes, as the bell rang, Teacher Luo assigned group assignments to the students and left the classroom.
Huang Xin stuffed the book into her bag and complained, "That old Luo, he's assigned group work again."
She glanced at the others beside her and said, "Then let's stick to the four of us as a group."
A group of four to six people; their dormitory had exactly four people, so they formed a group.
Su Shu nodded indifferently and casually took out 100 yuan and handed it to Lu Jiayi.
"Remember to do my share."
Lu Jiayi accepted the money and naturally nodded, saying, "I understand."
This wasn't the first time Huang Xin had seen Su Shu using money to order Lu Jiayi around. She habitually glared at Su Shu, then turned her head away, trying to avoid seeing him and not wanting to be bothered.
Shen Xuewei stood up. "Excuse me, excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
After these two classes, there are two more classes to attend, also in this same classroom.
Su Shu, who was sitting on the outside, gave her her seat. Shen Xuewei finished using the restroom and returned quickly, just as the class bell rang.
After attending four classes in a row, the four of them left the classroom and headed straight for the cafeteria.
Shen Xuewei rode her bicycle, watching the fine snow gradually falling from the sky. She reached out and caught a few flakes, but was suddenly hit by a cold wind and sneezed violently.
"Weiwei, be careful, there's someone sitting behind you, don't let me fall."
The bicycle veered forward, and Su Shu nearly fell off.
She quickly steadied herself and clutched Shen Xuewei's clothes tightly.
Shen Xuewei hunched her shoulders to keep the wind out.
I pedaled harder on my bicycle, and only breathed a sigh of relief when I stopped and reached the much warmer cafeteria.
After finishing her meal in the cafeteria, she told the three men and then rode her bicycle away ahead of time.
