Lu Xun's body stiffened almost instantly.

"Sister Lian, what brings you to our class? You didn't even give us a heads-up. What if you bump into something?"

Lu Ting ran over to Yun Lian like a lackey.

She was wearing a simple school uniform, yet she exuded an aggressive aura. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and a disdainful light flashed in them, carrying an arrogant air of looking down on everyone.

"What? Do I need to give you a report to come to Class 2?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips, her eyes revealing a hint of amusement as she said indifferently, "Don't you even ask yourself if you're worthy?"

Lu Ting's face turned almost purplish-red.

In Class 2, he was practically the king of the class, his word was law, and he was rarely humiliated.

But even his father didn't give the eldest daughter of the Yun family, who had been pampered since childhood, any respect, let alone him.

No matter how unhappy they were, they could only nod and bow and admit their mistakes.

"Yes, yes, I'm not worthy. Sister Lian can come whenever she wants."

Yun Lian walked past him and forward, with people around her making way for her until she finally stopped in front of Xie Zhaodi.

Xie Zhaodi stole a glance at Yun Lian, then quickly lowered her head again.

Why is she here again?

Could it be that they've changed their mind and are making her pay compensation...?

As she was lost in thought, a slightly cold yet clear and pleasant voice rang in her ears.

"Xie Zhaodi, didn't I tell you to come find me? Why didn't you come?"

Xie Zhaodi suddenly looked up.

Yun Lian was half a head taller than her, with fair skin and a beautiful face. The sunlight shining on her face gave her an even softer glow.

Xie Zhaodi stammered.

"The clothes aren't dry yet, so..."

Yun Lian noticed her nervousness and asked impatiently, "Who slapped you in the face?"

While asking Xie Zhaodi, Yun Lian glanced around.

Anyone who made eye contact with her quickly lowered their head.

Xie Zhaodi didn't know why she suddenly asked that question. Seeing that she had been beaten, she seemed very angry.

Lu Ting, who had always been arrogant, was now in a state of panic.

Recently, my older brother has been trying to curry favor with the eldest daughter of the Yun family, hoping to get some business from her family so that he can cooperate with the Lu family.

Once he offends Yun Lian...

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Lu Ting looked at Xie Zhaodi with pleading eyes in turn.

Xie Zhaodi sensed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the person beside her and was unsure of the meaning behind her question.

They dared not offend Lu Jing, lest they launch an even fiercer retaliation sooner.

Xie Zhaodi was flustered and dared not look Yun Lian in the eye.

"No...nobody...I...I...I accidentally fell on the way."

Yun Lian couldn't help but laugh at her stupidity.

"What kind of fall could leave five handprints on your face? Xie Zhaodi, if you're not willing to save yourself, then no one can save you."

After saying that, Yun Lian turned around angrily and went back to Class 1.

Xie Zhaodi stared at her departing figure, feeling a little flustered.

Lu Ting suddenly appeared in front of her, and the man who had always been proud had no idea how to apologize.

He stood straight in front of Xie Zhaodi, feeling a little awkward, and said, "Thank you for earlier. Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you in the future."

Lu Ning gave a wink to those around him.

Immediately, someone came to tidy up Xie Zhaodi's desk and chair.

Lu Ting stood casually in front of Xie Zhaodi, his words harsh yet laced with bitterness.

"But you're quite something, Xie Zhaodi. You actually managed to get close to Miss Yun. Just a little bit of her affections would be enough to save you 10 years of hard work."

Why didn't you say so sooner?

Xie Zhaodi bit her lower lip and answered with a forced smile.

"I am not familiar with Miss Yun; we have only met a few times."

She knew that if she went along with Lu Jing's words, she might benefit from her and live a good life, but she didn't want to take advantage of Miss Yun. Her intuition told her that Miss Yun was a good person.

Lu Jing gave a cold snort, but ultimately did not make things difficult for Xie Zhaodi.

During the long break, Xie Zhaodi ran to the restroom with a pale face.

The pain was so intense that she bumped into someone and that's when she realized what was happening.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you."

The sudden collision knocked the plain sanitary napkin out of her hand.

Seeing her pale face, Yun Lian also wanted to pick up the sanitary napkins.

"They're all dirty, here's a piece for you."

Yun Lian handed Xie Zhaodi a sanitary napkin with a cute design on it.

It was only then that Xie Zhaodi realized that the person she had bumped into was Miss Yun.

Xie Zhaodi clutched the sanitary napkin that Yun Lian handed her tightly.

Yun Lian helped her up and turned to leave.

But after walking a short distance, he turned back and said, "Try not to use those unlabeled sanitary napkins; they can easily cause health problems."

Xie Zhaodi stared at her retreating figure and whispered, "Thank you."

Before receiving a reply from Yun Lian, Xie Zhaodi, feeling a sharp pain in her stomach, hurriedly squeezed into the cubicle.

She unwrapped the sanitary napkins Yun Lian had given her, and they immediately emitted a very pleasant scent.

Xie Zhaodi was dazed, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

His words were barely audible, like those of a mosquito or fly.

"So sanitary napkins can be scented..."

She always thought it was the kind of product she bought that had a pungent, unpleasant smell.

Xie Zhaodi composed herself, wiped away her tears, and came out, only to find that the sanitary napkin that had fallen on the ground was long gone.

As she passed the door of Class 1, Xie Zhaodi mustered up the courage to look through the window for the first time.

Yun Lian sat languidly in her seat, surrounded by a group of young ladies, all dressed exquisitely and elegantly even in school uniforms, who seemed to be amusing her.

She is usually the center of attention.

Xie Zhaodi thought that she deserved to be the center of attention.

If she were qualified, she would also like to stand next to the young lady.
