Shang Yechu jolted awake, all her sleepiness vanished.

She looks so different now, how could anyone recognize her name? Could it be a member of the same production crew?

Shang Yechu sat up and carefully examined the other party.

After opening her eyes, the Sleeping Beauty's appearance was even more exquisite, unbelievably beautiful. But Shang Yechu still had no recollection of her.

Shang Yechu was absolutely certain that if she had ever seen this person before, she would never forget that face, not even in her past life when her mind was a complete blank.

"Who are you?" Shang Yechu asked hesitantly.

Seeing that Shang Yechu didn't recognize her, an expression of disbelief flashed in Sleeping Beauty's eyes.

She pointed to her face and said seriously, "Don't you remember me? I'm Sheng Wenzhi!"

Sheng Wenzhi? —That name…

Seeing that Shang Yechu still hadn't reacted, Sheng Wenzhi said anxiously, "Little Ye! Little Mosquito! Do you remember now?"

The moment Shang Yechu heard that last title, her long-forgotten memories were finally awakened!

"Little Mosquito...it's you?!" Shang Yechu looked at the other person with a strange expression, and looked him up and down in disbelief.

She finally understood why she hadn't recognized the other person immediately.

It has been fifteen years since she last met Sheng Wenzhi, spanning two lifetimes.

When Shang Ye first entered junior high school, he was nicknamed "Penguin" by the boys in his class because of his chubby figure and comical walking posture.

The class is a microcosm of society, and Shang Yechu is undoubtedly at the very bottom of this microcosm. Some people's malice is without reason; they just want to bully Shang Yechu, so they do it.

Penguin Merchant Ye Chu wasted more than a year at the bottom of the social ladder when a transfer student, Sheng Wenzhi, joined his class.

Sheng Wenzhi and her family were traveling in Wencheng, Shang Yechu's hometown, when they were involved in a car accident. Sheng Wenzhi's parents died on the spot, and she herself was injured in the leg, walking with a limp for a long time.

After losing her parents, Sheng Wenzhi was fostered by relatives in Wencheng and transferred to Wencheng Middle School.

Sheng Wenzhi was already quite pretty in junior high school. Although she was far less attractive than she is now, she was still like a swan landing in a pile of toads when she appeared in the class of crooked and grotesque students that Shang Yechu was in.

Shang Yechu was always puzzled by her junior high school classmates. Logically speaking, pretty girls should be quite popular in junior high school. But the boys in Shang Yechu's class showed extreme hostility towards Sheng Wenzhi.

Not to mention the usual isolation, overt and covert bullying and ridicule, what's even worse is that when they saw Sheng Wenzhi walking with a limp, they gave her a nickname: Duck Leg!

This vicious nickname persisted even after Sheng Wenzhi's leg recovered. Shang Yechu still had a vague recollection: whenever Sheng Wenzhi walked into the classroom on crutches, dragging her injured leg, the boys in the class would burst into laughter, whistling and clapping along, chanting, "Duck leg! Duck leg!"

If Sheng Wenzhi stops them or runs away in panic, they will be overjoyed, as if they have received a free ticket to see a clown movie. If Sheng Wenzhi ignores their jeers, they will make sarcastic remarks and hurl insults that Shang Yechu can only vaguely understand.

The class of struggling students has always had poor grades and even worse discipline. The homeroom teacher has always turned a blind eye to these minor disturbances.

Before Sheng Wenzhi transferred here, Shang Yechu was the one who was constantly ridiculed. After Sheng Wenzhi arrived, those cheeky boys immediately lost interest in Shang Yechu and all turned to teasing Sheng Wenzhi. The pressure on Shang Yechu eased considerably, and he felt much more sympathy and goodwill towards Sheng Wenzhi.

So, during a long break between classes one day, Shang Yechu cautiously went to talk to Sheng Wenzhi.

After her IQ increased, Shang Yechu gradually began to remember some things from her past life. She still remembered the first time she went to talk to Sheng Wenzhi.

Sheng Wenzhi was sitting in her seat, writing and drawing. During the long break between classes in junior high school, students were supposed to go out for group exercises, but due to her pathological obesity, Shang Yechu was exempt from the exercise.

Since Sheng Wenzhi, who had a limp, didn't have to run laps, only the two of them remained in the classroom.

Shang Yechu approached Sheng Wenzhi and saw that the other was writing something on a piece of paper—Shang Yechu couldn't possibly remember what was written on the paper, but he did remember that the other had beautiful handwriting, which greatly impressed the country bumpkin Shang Yechu.

Shang Yechu asked cautiously, "What are you writing?"

Sheng Wenzhi's reply was also very simple: "Get lost."

Shang Yechu was used to being told to "get lost" by her parents, siblings, homeroom teacher, and classmates, so she wasn't angry when she heard this. Instead, she persistently asked, "Are you writing a novel? That's amazing."

Sheng Wenzhi glanced at Shang Yechu: "Can you understand what I wrote?"

"Ah—no," Shang Yechu said enviously, "I think you're very smart. I wish I were that smart too..."

Sheng Wenzhi simply ignored Shang Yechu. Shang Yechu awkwardly tried to make conversation, saying, "Your name is 'Mosquito'? What a strange name."

Sheng Wenzhi impatiently slammed her pen down, making a loud thud: "Sheng Wenzhi—Sheng as in prosperous times, Wen as in XX, Zhi as in XX..."

Shang Yechu couldn't recall the two words Sheng Wenzhi used as examples afterward. She vaguely remembered asking, "Is this 'zhi' the same as the 'zhi' in 'sesame'?"

Sheng Wenzhi had no interest in talking to Shang Yechu, who was fat, ugly, and stupid. Hearing this, she said impatiently, "Okay, okay, you can leave now."

Just then, the morning exercise session ended, and the annoying boys in the class returned.

As soon as the boys saw Shang Yechu and Sheng Wenzhi talking, they started jeering again, like a bunch of yelling monkeys. Shang Yechu couldn't remember what the monkeys were yelling anymore, only that Sheng Wenzhi's face turned bright red and she pushed him away—of course, she couldn't move her.

Seeing that Sheng Wenzhi truly disliked her, Shang Yechu decided not to make a fool of herself and turned to leave. Just then, Sheng Wenzhi grabbed Shang Yechu's arm.

Sheng Wenzhi's beautiful face was filled with hatred and coldness that belied her age. "You want to be friends with me, don't you?"
