School starts
"What? Lin Yuan transferred schools? How come I didn't know about this?"
Xu Feifei turned around to check if the breakfast on the table was there. If it wasn't this breakfast, she would have doubted that Lin Yuan's conversation with her that morning was a dream.
"Zeng Hao, can you check if any teachers are coming? I'll send him a message to ask."
"Go ahead and send it. Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Xu Feifei took out her phone, about to send a message to Lin Yuan. A group of heads crowded around, and the hands that were typing on the keyboard stopped, looking at them and saying, "Is there something you want to ask?"
At this moment, Zeng Hao finally realized that the presence of this group of people was too strong. Remembering something, he turned to Xu Feifei and asked curiously, "Oh, they probably want to ask about your engagement with Nangong Ye. I heard that your engagement with Nangong Ye was canceled. What happened?"
Finally, someone spoke up, and the group nodded frantically like chickens pecking at rice.
Xu Feifei smiled helplessly. So that's what it was all about. But how should she put it? Should she say it was canceled or suspended? She herself didn't know how to end this engagement.
"Thank you for your concern. My engagement with Nangong Ye is currently on hold. I don't know whether it will continue or be canceled later. If you want to know, please ask Nangong Ye."
Several people exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing the news, then happily left. Others remained surrounding her, seemingly wanting to ask her something.
Xu Feifei didn't like having a group of people surrounding her. "Do you have any other questions? If not, then don't surround me."
After waiting for a long time without any response, just as people were starting to get impatient, someone timidly asked, "Did Lin Yuan reply to you? Is she really transferring schools?"
Xu Feifei looked up and saw it was the math class representative.
"No. Lin Yuan replied to me, and I will tell Zeng Hao."
Xu Feifei pushed Zeng Hao forward, and Zeng Hao understood her meaning, saying to the crowd, "Alright, alright, everyone, don't crowd around here. I'll let you know as soon as there's any new information."
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed completely and did not huddle together.
Xu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up in her eyes. How could this be? Her classmates, who used to help each other so much, were becoming more and more like NPCs (non-player characters). She remembered everyone being perfectly normal before the holiday!
Zeng Hao watched her typing with her head down, then asked, "Feifei, why do you seem to disappear as soon as you're on vacation? You don't reply to my WeChat messages, and you don't answer my calls."
Xu Feifei paused for a moment, scratched her head, and said, "I... I lost my phone during summer vacation. My WeChat and contacts are gone..."
"Really? I thought you'd been kidnapped. I heard your engagement to Nangong Ye was postponed because you went missing."
"Ha...haha, you're overthinking it. With so many surveillance cameras these days, how could you possibly be kidnapped?"
Xu Feifei turned her head away from him, her guess was spot on. Back then, Lin Yuan had practically taken her to a villa in the suburbs, where she finished her summer homework.
Zeng Hao shrugged and leaned closer to ask, "Okay, has Lin Yuan replied to you yet?"
Xu Feifei glanced down at her phone. Lin Yuan still hadn't replied. Bored, she said, "No."
Zeng Hao's ears twitched, his eyes looked out the window, and after staring intently for a few seconds, he shouted, "Attention everyone, the homeroom teacher is coming!"
Xu Feifei quickly stuffed her phone into the desk drawer, and it vibrated once after being put inside. A moment later, the homeroom teacher came into the classroom and called on all the class representatives to collect the holiday homework.
After collecting the homework, the homeroom teacher supervised the morning reading in the classroom.
Xu Feifei looked at the empty seat next to her, feeling a void in her heart, a mix of sadness and fear. What if Lin Yuan really transferred schools? What would she do?
After that, no one was ever patient enough to explain problems to her again. She fell behind in her studies, and no one accompanied her to meals or the bathroom. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. This shouldn't be happening. Lin Yuan said he would wait for her in class this morning. How could he suddenly transfer schools?
Xu Feifei sighed heavily, feeling extremely depressed.
After class, Lin Xier walked up to her and asked with a restrained expression, "Feifei, I feel like you've been feeling down and unhappy these past few days. Do you not like me being too close to your family? Or have you misunderstood me and Nangong Ye? There's really nothing between Nangong Ye and me."
These two sentences struck Xu Feifei like thunderbolts, leaving her utterly stunned. How could the female lead think that way? She absolutely didn't mean it that way.
Xu Feifei took a deep breath and quickly organized her thoughts, saying, "Absolutely not. You saved my dad, and I'm so grateful to you. If you weren't here, I would have..." She stopped abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes, and lowered her head, no longer looking at her, and didn't finish her sentence.
She really didn't want her relationship with the female lead to deteriorate or cause any misunderstandings. After all, the female lead was the true daughter of the Xu family. If the original owner wanted to stay at home in the future, they would still have to get along peacefully.
Now, she should focus on building a good relationship with Lin Xier so that the original owner's relationship with them won't be too bad. This is the only thing she can do.
Lin Xier breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softening considerably as she smiled and said, "No, it was just a small favor. I heard that Uncle woke up yesterday, which means everything is moving in a positive direction."
Xu Feifei nodded, recalling her conversation with Gao Lan yesterday. She hesitated, glancing at Lin Xier several times before finally saying, "By the way, could you go see my dad after school today?"
Lin Xier looked around and said incredulously, "Me?"
Xu Feifei nodded solemnly and said, "He's awake. It's good that you go see him. Let him see you, so he knows you're his savior..."
It will also let him know what his biological daughter looks like. Gao Lan had said before that she would tell him about this after Xu Furen recovered, and then they would see how to recognize this biological daughter.
Xu Feifei didn't know if she was doing the right thing or not. As long as she wasn't being a bad person, she would let everything else take its course.
Lin Xier smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I already said it was just a small favor. I'll go visit Uncle after school today."
Xu Feifei lowered her head and said, "Mmm."
Lin Xi'er overheard some news during morning reading and noticed that Feifei was in low spirits. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Feifei, I heard that Lin Yuan is transferring schools. If you need any help with your studies or life, you can come to me."
Xu Feifei wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. She bit her lip and replied, "Okay, thank you."
After finishing his morning reading, Zeng Hao went to the teacher's office and came back to announce two pieces of news.
The first piece of news is that Lin Yuan really did transfer schools; she went abroad during the summer vacation. The second piece of news is that two students will be transferring to our class today.
Xu Feifei frowned, sensing something was wrong. She secretly took out her phone and discovered that Lin Yuan had sent her a message before morning reading.
Lin Yuan: My identity has changed. You'll see me after the opening ceremony.
Upon seeing this message, Xu Feifei's previously heavy heart immediately felt much lighter. Thankfully, he was still there, still by her side.
Xu Feifei quickly typed in the input box, "Great, I'll wait for you in class." Just as the message was sent, someone knocked on the desk.
Xu Feifei's heart leaped into her throat. Instinctively, she tossed her phone into the cabinet and sat back down. After doing this, she cautiously looked up and saw that the person who had entered was Nangong Ye.
She breathed a huge sigh of relief, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Hey, do you know that scaring someone can kill them?"
Nangong Ye glanced at her, then looked away, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, "Lin Yuan really transferred schools? Why so suddenly?"
Xu Feifei looked at her irritably. She had heard from Su Huan that the original owner of this body had a fight with Nangong Ye the day before yesterday, and it had been quite unpleasant. What was going on now, and why was she asking about someone's attitude?
But he's the male lead, the person the original owner liked, so she tolerated it. Xu Feifei nodded and said, "Yeah, I don't know either."
Nangong Ye clearly didn't believe him. "You don't know? Weren't you with Lin Yuan all summer? How could you not know? Are you trying to fool me?"
He was about to refute her claim that she wasn't awake for many days during the summer vacation, so how could she have a whole summer vacation? He opened his mouth, then immediately deflated and said, "No, Lin Yuan said she wants to study abroad."
"How could you go abroad for further studies when you didn't even finish high school?"
"How would I know? That's what Lin Yuan said, and I can't stop her from going. You're so concerned, why don't you ask her?"
"You think I didn't ask? She doesn't reply to my messages."
After saying those words, Nangong Ye seemed deflated and somewhat dejected.
Seeing that things were going badly, Xu Feifei leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Seriously? You said you didn't like Lin Yuan before, what's wrong with you? Jumping around like this, is it fun?"
Nangong Ye yanked her away, nearly wrinkling her clothes in the process. "Hey, hey, hey..."
Nangong Ye was afraid that if they got too close, she would think that there was still hope between them, so he quickly said something harsh to dispel her intentions: "Don't get too close to me. I've said that I only see you as a younger sister. Don't think about getting entangled with me."
Xu Feifei stared blankly as he walked away angrily. What was going on? Wasn't he the one who approached her first? Why was he suddenly angry? The male lead's thought process was still twitching.
The opening ceremony was exceptionally long. She never imagined that the opening ceremony of a noble school would be so similar to the procedures and speeches of her ordinary school—long and tedious.
The director and principal had so much to say, so many things to discuss, and so many students received awards.
I also sincerely thank her parents for allowing her to receive the Best Contribution Award certificate in front of the whole school in the auditorium of the prestigious school, making up for the lack of an award she had never received in front of the whole school in her life.
Does it really matter whether this certificate is awarded or not? Xu Feifei looked at the certificate on the table and sighed silently. This certificate was truly prestigious, practically made of gold. But wasn't this just announcing to the whole school that she got in through connections?
What's wrong with this school? Never mind, I miss Lin Yuan. When is Lin Yuan coming? Wasn't it supposed to be during the opening ceremony introduction? Why hasn't he arrived yet?
Xu Feifei sat in her seat and looked around, craning her neck almost to become a giraffe's, but she still couldn't see Lin Yuan. She lowered her head and sighed heavily again.
"Class, please be quiet."
Xu Feifei looked up and saw the homeroom teacher leading Lin Yuan and Su Huan to stand on the podium. Lin Yuan smiled at her, and Su Huan waved at her with a grin.
"These are our new transfer students and transfer students. Let's welcome them."
