"Why have you stopped?"
During the noisy break, students laughed and played around, while Chu Baiyi stood still, clutching her heavy textbooks.
Zi Xi, who had stopped ahead, was also carrying heavy textbooks. She turned her head and looked at her calmly.
In an instant, Chu Baiyi's face turned deathly pale, and she clutched her heart, crying out in pain. A crowd immediately gathered around her, and the enthusiastic students lifted Chu Baiyi up and rushed her to the infirmary.
Zi Xi was left behind, lost in thought.
As usual, after sending her in and explaining the task, the system happily disappeared.
The mission assigned to this world is to love the male protagonist, Jiang Yanli, wholeheartedly.
The original owner's task was relatively simple: to get into one of the top ten universities in the country and move out of the Chu family to live alone.
She was still a primary school student when she came into this world. This time, she has a father, mother, and older brother. She comes from a wealthy family, but the downside is that they favor boys over girls.
In her previous life, the original owner of this body was sold for a good price by the Chu family, but died from domestic violence a few years later.
But since they were family, the original owner had no desire for revenge, and her wish was very simple and unpretentious: she just wanted to get into a good school and move out.
But just as Zi Xi began saving money from a young age to prepare for the future, the plot of her previous life, which she had thoroughly studied, began to take a turn.
The Chu family has found their biological daughter, who is none other than the female lead, Chu Baiyi.
According to the normal plot, it should be at least two or three weeks before the female lead meets the male lead.
Upon arriving in this world, Zi Xi, a student, realized that the original owner of this body was not actually the biological child of the Chu family!
Moreover, this so-called family discovered it during the original owner's childhood medical check-up, but since the biological daughter had not been found, they took her in first to accumulate good fortune for the biological daughter who had been living away from home.
There was no real affection involved, and aside from tuition and food expenses, there was hardly any money spent on Zixi.
Just a week after Chu Baiyi was found, Zi Xi became superfluous in the Chu family.
Zi Xi continued walking down the corridor with her textbooks in her arms, but her thoughts had already returned to that day.
At the entrance of the Chu family villa, the rain that day was even heavier than the day Yiping went to her father to ask for money. The rain poured down, hitting the asphalt road and splashing up cold water droplets.
Zi Xi stood outside the villa with a backpack containing clothes she had bought herself, and in her arms she held a thin cardboard box containing her notes, study materials, and an umbrella.
"Madam said that this apartment is now a gift to you, and the Chu family will no longer support you. You will have to figure out your own tuition and living expenses."
The Chu family's butler handed her a key, his tone extremely cold.
Zi Xi reached out and took it, her fingertips touching the cold metal, but she nodded without any change in expression.
The butler frowned, seemingly uncomfortable with her calmness, and added, "The master wants you to remember that the Chu family has done more than enough by raising you all these years. Watch your mouth and don't gossip to others outside."
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Zi Xi looked up, and raindrops drifted in with the wind, sliding down her eyelashes. Her voice remained clear and calm, devoid of any emotion.
The butler probably felt it was a waste of breath, so he snorted and turned to leave.
Zi Xi turned to leave when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. But she didn't stop. Holding the box in one hand and opening the umbrella with the other, she was about to leave.
"Sister! Wait for me!"
Chu Baiyi, dressed in an exquisite cashmere coat and limited-edition leather shoes, hurriedly chased after them, her face showing a pitiful expression.
