《The Bookworm Became a Mafia Queen》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian slowly opened her eyes. A throbbing pain came from her forehead, her head felt like it was splitting, and the pain was so great that even opening her eyes felt strenuous. She slowly sat up. It was pitch black around her, and the smell in the air made her sure that she wasn¡¯t home, nor was she in the gang. F*ck, Hu Jian sucked in a breath of cold air, could it be that she died and went to Hell. Hu Jian rubbed her temples and looked around. She raised her head and saw a broken window with beams of light shining through, letting her observe the surroundings. The pain in her hands made Hu Jian notice the traces of being tied up. Looking at the rope on the ground, she was sure that she had been tied up before she fainted. There were still some fresh blood stains on the rope, this would also explain the injuries on her wrists. Hu Jian shook her head. Her last memory was that she had followed the gang leader to discuss a billion-dollar business deal with another party. However, the car exploded on the way back. In a moment of desperation, she could only use her body to shield the gang leader¡¯s body. As the deputy leader of the largest gang in the world, it was also her duty to protect the gang leader¡¯s safety. Hu Jian was not only the second-in-command, but also the killer ¡°Queen¡± of the underworld. According to rumors, she could kill a person with just a smile. The coolness from her chest made Hu Jian involuntarily touch her chest. No, this was not her hand. Her hand was not as delicate as this, and this was not her chest either. The reason she was called ¡°Queen¡± was also attributed to her curvaceous body. Her chest was 34C, and her waist was 24 inches. Her waist and legs were extremely slender. This chest was at least a few sizes smaller than hers. It was as if her body had just started developing. Also, why were her clothes all torn up? She wasn¡¯t a little girl anymore, yet her body felt hot and her waist and knees were sore, as if she had just experienced a love affair. No, the air lacks the smell that lingered after a love affair, and there was no discomfort in her lower body. Just as she was in thought, there was a sound coming from the door. Hu Jian looked at the rusty iron door that was pushed open and saw two 17 to 18 year-old girls in school uniforms. One of the long-haired girls said sarcastically, ¡°Yo, Fangirl Jian, how is it? Doesn¡¯t it taste good?¡± Hu Jian endured the discomfort of being blinded by the sunlight and said coldly, ¡°Do I know you?¡± Hu Jian was sure that she did not know these girls. The long-haired girl leaned against the rusty metal door and said in a sharp voice, ¡°What are you pretending for, Fangirl Jian? You didn¡¯t expect that you would end up drinking the medicine that you gave to our Qiao Han. Moreover, Qiao Han left without even looking at you. However, he was kind enough to ask us to find a separate room for you, but he forgot to find a beggar for you. I¡¯m so sorry!¡± After hearing this, Hu Jian finally understood why she felt her entire body go limp. It turned out that she had been drugged, and it was a drug meant for men. In the end, she drank it and was thrown into this shabby house for a night. Regarding these events, the current Hu Jian had no impressions. Hu Jian endured her headache and uncomfortable body as she said indifferently, ¡°Are you done? If you¡¯re done, then get lost.¡± The other short-haired girl looked at Hu Jian in disbelief. She rushed out and pointed at Hu Jian and said fiercely, ¡°Fangirl Jian, stop daydreaming about our Princely Qiao Han. He is the deity in our hearts. Do you know what you¡¯re called? A toad trying to eat a swan¡¯s flesh. This time, it¡¯s our Princely Qian Hao¡¯s good nature. We only locked you up for one night. Next time, we¡¯ll leave you to the beggars outside.¡± Hu Jian looked over with a cold and fierce gaze: ¡°Three seconds, get lost. Don¡¯t make me say it again. Also, I like men, not little boys. Don¡¯t say any more bullshit in front of me..¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When the short-haired girl heard Hu Jian¡¯s words, she rushed over and wanted to kick her. However, Hu Jian dodged her in a flash. When the other long-haired girl saw Hu Jian¡¯s reaction, she pulled the short-haired girl and said, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go. This coat is for you. This is also Qiao Han¡¯s instructions. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t care about you, you love-struck fool.¡± Hu Jian looked at them coldly and did not reply. The two girls left as they wondered why Hu Jian, who had always been weak, suddenly changed. In the past, she did not dare to talk to them like this. The usually arrogant girls thought that it was because of last night¡¯s incident, so they did not think too much about it and left. Hu Jian struggled to stand up. Although she was drugged and her hands were injured, to Hu Jian, who had been on the streets for more than ten years, this was nothing. She had been training in mercenary camps since she was five years old, and been on missions since she was ten. At the age of 17, she was already known as the ¡°Queen¡±, the number one assassin in the world. After what just happened, she immediately came to a conclusion. She was reborn, and she was reborn into a high school student with the same name as her. However, she knew nothing about this high school student, as she did not inherit the memory of Little Hu Jian. Fortunately, she had been following trends. When she had nothing to do, she would read about these kinds of reincarnation settings on the Internet. However, she never thought that this kind of melodramatic drama would happen to her. She wondered how the leader was doing now, but she currently didn¡¯t have time to think too much. She had to figure out the background of this high school student Hu Jian, as well as where she was and what era it was. Hu Jian thought as she slowly walked out the door. She was too focused to notice a gaze from not far away. Qiao Han stood under the big tree with a fair and handsome face. He looked at Hu Jian who was walking out with disgust. He really felt that he was unlucky to be liked by this crazy Hu Jian, however, he didn¡¯t know that the weak and infatuated Hu Jian had already changed into a bloodthirsty and cold soul. When Hu Jian walked out of the gate, she discovered she was in the abandoned factory behind the school. She looked at her face through the broken glass. Her face that was accompanied by shoulder-length short hair was so youthful and delicate. Hu Jian slowly walked to the school gate. Suddenly, a handsome man in his thirties stopped her: ¡°Little Jian, why didn¡¯t you come home last night? Why are your clothes torn? What happened?¡± The man asked Hu Jian anxiously. He was Hu Jian¡¯s foster father, Lin Yan. Hu Jian¡¯s father had died in the line of duty when she was three years old. When Hu Jian¡¯s mother remarried, the other party did not allow her to take her daughter, so Hu Jian was sent to an orphanage. Then, a comrade of Hu Jian¡¯s father came to adopt her, but he was many years younger than Hu Jian¡¯s father. Hu Jian did not answer. She still had not figured out who the man was. The man saw that Hu Jian did not respond, so he picked up Hu Jian and put her in the car. Hu Jian did not react too much to the man¡¯s embrace. She did not have much strength now anyway, and she could feel her current body instinctively accepting the man. The car slowly drove to the front of a small house. The man got out of the car, carried Hu Jian, and walked straight to the bathroom. He even started to undress Hu Jian¡¯s clothes. Hu Jian hurriedly blocked him and coldly said, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Lin Yan looked at Hu Jian with heartache and gently said, ¡°Xiao Jian, I am your foster father and also a doctor. Let me examine you.¡± Hu Jian¡¯s face actually turned red when she heard his gentle voice. Her body stiffened as she allowed the man to wipe her body for her. She looked at the man¡¯s face that revealed heartache while he was carefully wiping her body, Hu Jian could not help but tremble comfortably as she closed her eyes slightly. She didn¡¯t notice the man heaving a sigh of relief when he glanced at her lower body. The half-asleep Hu Jian was placed on a soft bed by Lin Yan. Her entire body was wrapped in a large towel. The man gently kissed Hu Jian¡¯s forehead, then her eyes, and then her lips. Hu Jian suddenly opened her eyes and pushed the man away. She said in a panic, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Hu Jian panicked. She was not a girl who didn¡¯t understand worldly matters, but wasn¡¯t this man the adoptive father of this body? Why did he do such an intimate action? The strangest thing was that this body actually did not have any resistance. There was even a feeling of liking¡­ The man gently caressed Hu Jian¡¯s face, his own face almost touching Hu Jian¡¯s face: ¡°Xiao Jian, I¡¯ll wait for you, wait for you to tell me what happened last night. I¡¯ll also wait for the day you accept me.¡± Hu Jian sniffed the man¡¯s faintly discernible masculine scent. F*ck, how should she react to this? Hu Jian quietly looked at him and did not reply. However, the flush on her face was betraying her. Lin Yan looked at Hu Jian and stood up from the bed: ¡°Xiao Jian, you must be hungry. I¡¯ll go and make you a bowl of noodles.¡± After saying that, he left without waiting for Hu Jian¡¯s reply.. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Seeing the man walk out, Hu Jian regained some strength. She immediately stood up and closed the door. She walked to the wardrobe, found a simple white t-shirt and shorts, and changed into them. She walked to the mirror, as she had not seen the face of this body clearly. The face in the mirror was indeed unlike hers before. It had shoulder-length hair and bangs. The thin face made her eyes look even bigger. She took a step back and looked at her body. She should be 160 centimeters tall, and her weight should only be around 80 kilograms. No wonder she felt so flat when she woke up. Hu Jian quickly observed the room. What was more important to her now was to understand the details of this body and the era. The bed was covered with a small quilt, and there was a very large pink rabbit doll. Even the pillows were pink. There was a white wardrobe, a locked cabinet under a desk, and a computer. There were also a few flowerpots by the window. It was obvious that this man treated Little Hu Jian very well. Hu Jian rummaged around. Hu Jian reached out to pick up the pink doll and felt around. Sure enough, the key was hidden in here. As expected, every high school girl hid things like this. Hu Jian hurriedly opened the cabinet and saw a diary. She was about to take a look when she heard movement from outside the door, so she quickly closed the cabinet and lay back on the bed. She didn¡¯t know too much about the specific situation at the moment, so she didn¡¯t want the man to see anything. ¡°Little Jian, I¡¯m coming in!¡± Lin Yan, who was carrying noodles outside the door, said. Hu Jian: ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Yan pushed the door open and looked at Hu Jian, who was lying on the bed. That thin and weak appearance was so moving in his eyes. He blamed himself for not taking good care of Little Jian, causing her to be so thin and weak. Lin Yan said gently, ¡°You eat first. After you eat, rest early. If there¡¯s anything you want to tell me, you can tell me later. I¡¯ll also help you apply for leave from school tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll eat later. You should also go and rest first.¡± Hu Jian only wanted to let the man leave as soon as possible. She still wanted to read the diary quickly. Hu Jian looked at the steaming noodles. On top of them were two golden eggs, and beside them were a few large pieces of beef brisket, a few pieces of lettuce, and a soup specially made with tomatoes. This foster father treated Little Hu Jian quite well. Lin Yan¡¯s gaze seemed to soften as he looked at Hu Jian and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I still have some medical records to look through. You go ahead and eat, and if you feel unwell, call me.¡± Hu Jian¡¯s face instantly turned red when she heard this voice. As soon as she saw the man walk out, she immediately opened the cabinet and took out the diary. As she ate the noodles, she began to read the diary. After flipping through more than ten entries, the majority of them were about the interactions between Hu Jian and her adoptive father. Also, she had liked Qiao Han since junior high school and wrote that because her adoptive father was good to her, she was very dependent on him. This made her feel at a loss. The feelings of a young girl were always like poetry, and young girls were always full of emotions. Recently, her diary had recorded the words of her best friend who had been praising Qiao Han to her, and she gradually became curious about Qiao Han. In a recent entry, Little Hu Jian was going to celebrate Qiao Han¡¯s birthday with her best friend, Yang Si. Yang Si said that she would help Little Hu Jian get Qiao Han, and asked Little Hu Jian to dress up more beautifully and sexily. So it turned out that Little Hu Jian had fallen into someone else¡¯s trap. This woman was probably the one who drugged her. Little Hu Jian was still silly, but how could such a little trick be hidden from Hu Jian. Hu Jian closed the diary and smiled. Those who were familiar with her knew that when Hu Jian smiled, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky. Hu Jian had started training in a mercenary camp at the age of five. At the age of ten, she was sent to Japan to carry out a mission. The other party was the second-in-command of a gang, and was a pervert. As a good girl, she cut off the other party¡¯s penis and became famous in one battle. She was a part of the underworld, and she was proficient in five languages. She got full marks in all subjects, a talent that top universities wanted. At the age of 17, she finished her university courses and became the deputy leader of the world¡¯s number one gang, ¡°Dragon Gate¡±. She chose to enter the underworld because she felt that the underworld was more benevolent than some so-called righteous factions. Hu Jian turned on her computer and looked at the time. She found that this was only the second day after her accident. It was the same era, but in a different place. The current city was thousands of kilometers away from the place where her accident happened. Hu Jian was suddenly filled with information, and her mind was in a mess. Too many things had happened in the past two days, and she was exhausted. She turned off her computer and prepared to sleep before checking on other things. ¡°Xiao Jian, I¡¯ve prepared breakfast for you and placed it on the table. You can eat it when you get up. I¡¯ll go to work first, there¡¯s a surgery today..¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian, who was still in bed, was still unable to react. She thought that she was at home, so she jumped up in fright. She looked around the room before regaining her senses. Hu Jian calmed herself down and replied, ¡°Okay, you go to work. I¡¯ll eat later.¡± Lin Yan was still worried. He carefully reminded her, ¡°Order takeout for yourself at noon. The money is in the cupboard. I¡¯ve already requested leave for you from school. If there¡¯s anything you need, you can call me.¡± Hu Jian pursed her lips. As an orphan and a gangster, she was used to being alone. Other than missions, she was always alone. She was still very uncomfortable being with someone who suddenly cared about her and treated her gently. Hu Jian could only use an impatient tone to hide her sudden weakness: ¡°I got it. You can leave now, stop nagging. You already said last night that I¡¯m already grown up. I¡¯ll take care of myself.¡± After resting for a day, Hu Jian returned to school. Standing at the majestic school gate, Hu Jian felt as if a lifetime had passed. She was back at school again. Her mood did not fluctuate much, she had roughly understood some things about this body with a day¡¯s time. As for herself, she had yet to find out whether the car accident with the gang leader was man-made or an accident. For the time being, she had no way to contact her past companions. Could she tell them that she had been reborn? She would need several letters to even explain anything. But since she had been reborn into this body, she had to help this body deal with those pretentious whores who had framed Little Hu Jian. Hu Jian thought as she walked from the playground to the classroom. Everyone around her cast a strange look at her and whispered among themselves. ¡°Look, Fangirl Jian actually dares to come to school. She dared to drug our Princely Qiao Han and still act as if nothing happened.¡± ¡°Exactly, exactly. How can such a person remain in our school? All of our reputations have been ruined by her. She¡¯s really cheap.¡± A group of people followed behind Hu Jian and talked among themselves. Hu Jian, who had been walking in front, stopped, turned around, and said expressionlessly, ¡°Scram.¡± Hu Jian¡¯s voice, which had no warmth at all, made the people around her stop in their tracks. No one could believe that the cowardly Hu Jian had said such a thing. ¡°Fangirl Jian, if you dare to do it, why don¡¯t you let us say it? With your weak and thin body, you dare to confess to our Qiao Han? This joke will make me laugh for the rest of my life, Hahaha.¡± A girl with braces pointed at Hu Jian and mocked her. Hu Jian¡¯s mind was filled with blazing fury, but her face was still expressionless. From the diary, she knew that Hu Jian had previously confessed to Qiao Han but was rejected. After that, she even brought breakfast and gifts for Qiao Han every day. Wherever he went, Hu Jian was there. Because Little Hu Jian liked someone that the whole school liked, it also caused the other girls to dislike her. They felt that Hu Jian¡¯s liking for Qiao Han was an insult to them. When the people around saw that someone had spoken, everyone joined in the fun. There were even boys who walked over and said to Hu Jian, ¡°Fangirl Jian, why don¡¯t you consider me? I don¡¯t mind that you¡¯re thin, Hahaha.¡± After saying that, the boy laughed contemptuously. The people around also laughed out loud. Hu Jian¡¯s cold and bloodthirsty gaze swept across the crowd. That gaze seemed to want to peel off everyone layer by layer. Everyone was shocked by her gaze. ¡°Scram!¡± It was like a call from hell. Everyone was shocked into silence by the cold voice. Hu Jian glanced at the boy disdainfully. ¡°You¡¯re just a kid who hasn¡¯t even got all his hair. Have you cut off your foreskin? You¡¯re already thinking about women.¡± ¡°And you, so what if I look like this? I dare to confess, do you dare? Since you think you look so good, why don¡¯t you confess? Why are you paying so much attention to me? Don¡¯t tell me you like me.¡± The girl was so angry that the veins on her neck bulged. She pointed angrily at Hu Jian: ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡± Hu Jian did not even glance at the crowd. She turned around and walked towards the classroom. Before she reached the classroom, she saw a group of people standing in the corridor discussing something. Hu Jian was not interested, and she just wanted to sit quietly in her seat. But there were still people who would not let her off. A boy whose shirt had been unbuttoned said to Hu Jian in contempt, ¡°Yo, everyone, look, who¡¯s here! Hu Jian, all your attention is spent on chasing men. How did you enter our school with these results? Don¡¯t tell me there¡¯s some inside story..¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian rolled her eyes in her heart. This Little Hu Jian was really annoying. No matter where she went, there would always be people who disliked her. Hu Jian had no choice but to go over and take a look at the results. Since she was now the owner of this body, she still had to be concerned about her results. Hu Jian, who had just seen the results, was dumbfounded. What was this? Ranked 300th out of 350. This was impossible. She had seen the test papers of Little Hu Jian. Usually, she was ranked over 100th. She remembered that in the diary of Little Hu Jian, there was a passage that said that this exam was related to their class placement. Yang Si, Little Hu Jian¡¯s pretentious bestie, said that just in case, they would write down each other¡¯s names. They even compared answers after the exam. It seemed that Little Hu Jian, this little idiot, had been tricked again. She didn¡¯t even think about it. They could compare answers with her, they could also give her all wrong answers. Sigh. Qiao Han, who had been standing at the side, said to Hu Jian impatiently, ¡°Hu Jian, don¡¯t do anything unnecessary in the future. Study hard.¡± Hu Jian didn¡¯t turn her face, she didn¡¯t even look at Qiao Han: ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Qiao Han¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. Was this still the same Hu Jian who had been chasing after him? Why did he feel that although she looked thin and weak, she was different? Her body exuded a strong aura. ¡°Ring, ring, ring¡­¡± the bell rang and eased everyone¡¯s awkwardness. Hu Jian deliberately waited until everyone else entered the classroom. She was the last to enter. When the last empty seat was empty, she knew it was hers. It turned out that Little Hu Jian¡¯s seat was near the window. Just as Hu Jian sat down, her ¡°good friend¡±, Yang Si, came over. Yang Si looked guilty and said with a sobbing tone, ¡°Hu Jian, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t know what happened either. It really has nothing to do with me. You¡¯re not mad at me, are you?¡± Hu Jian knew who it was immediately. It turned out that it was that pretentious best friend, Yang Si. Her insincere acting skills really made it impossible for her not to expose herself. Hu Jian was too lazy to waste her breath. She said bluntly, ¡°Stop pretending. You did it on purpose.¡± Yang Si looked at Hu Jian in surprise. How could she say it so bluntly? ¡°Some people are so self-deprecating. Their grades are already so bad, yet they still don¡¯t pay attention in class.¡± The teacher with a pair of big black eyes on the podium said mockingly, her gaze fixed on Hu Jian. Hu Jian ignored her and looked out the window. She had to think about what she should do next. This high school curriculum was not difficult for her. She had come to class now because she had not thought about what to do. The teacher on the podium thought that Hu Jian was challenging her authority by turning a blind eye to her words. Therefore, the words she said were even more unpleasant, and she even called her name. ¡°Hu Jian, you are a young girl. Your mind is still filled with love during class. You don¡¯t have any self-respect and your grades are so bad. If you don¡¯t want to attend classes then get out. Having you as my student is really a disgrace to my teaching career.¡± Hu Jian looked at the 1.5-meter-tall, 160KG, fat-faced teacher who was scolding her. Looking at the so-called classmates who were gloating at her, Hu Jian didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable at all. She might have felt very embarrassed and sad if it was Little Hu Jian in the past, but for a killer like her who was a ¡°Queen¡± in the underworld, this was child¡¯s play. Hu Jian¡¯s expression was calm, and her voice was cold as she replied, ¡°Teacher, you scold your students in front of the entire class like this, don¡¯t tell me that this is how you teach your students?¡± Qiao Han looked at this Hu Jian who had changed into a completely different person from that night. She was no longer as timid and cowardly as before. Previously her head was always lowered, and her thin and weak appearance gave a feeling of helplessness and made people feel contempt. Right now, her entire body was filled with a strong will, her gaze was no longer fixed on him at all times, and her face had always been calm. Even if the teacher scolded her, she could still retaliate so rationally and bravely. This did not seem to be the Hu Jian that he remembered. Pa! The class teacher fiercely threw the textbook on the classroom table. The sound shocked all the students, but Hu Jian was still sitting calmly. Towards her, these things were just children¡¯s games. The homeroom teacher was so embarrassed that her face was red. She lost control and shouted at Hu Jian, ¡°Hu Jian, call your parents over. I want you to quit school.¡± Hu Jian put away the textbook and walked out of the classroom without looking back. Coincidentally, she didn¡¯t want to study anymore. She wanted to investigate her own matters. Why did she get into a car accident? How was the leader? Going to school was really annoying to her, it was only the first day, and there were already so many stupid things. But she was also very clear in her heart that she wouldn¡¯t be expelled, as that man would have her continue to attend school.. Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian did not return home after leaving the classroom. Instead, she found a relatively secluded place under the shade of the trees near the playground and sat down. She took out her laptop. She wanted to look into her matters and plan what to do next. Hu Jian¡¯s slender hands quickly typed on the keyboard, flipping through the news about all recent car accidents. She wanted to know if the gang leader was dead or alive. She found out that she was currently in the southernmost part of the country, and the accident had happened in the northernmost part of the country, thousands of kilometers away. There were no clues about that day on the internet. Hu Jian closed her laptop and lay down. She liked the shade of the trees, the fresh air and the smell of the surrounding trees and grass. The smell made her feel safe. Life was really like a story. When she was reading those novels about time travel and rebirth, she was laughing at the authors¡¯ whimsical imaginations. How could such a thing happen in this world? She didn¡¯t expect that it would happen to her. She was a cold-blooded and merciless killer, yet she was reborn into a high school student. ¡°Hu Jian, let¡¯s talk.¡± It was unknown since when Qian Han stood there. When he saw Hu Jian walk out just now, although he didn¡¯t like her, he had been a little curious about the changes in Hu Jian. He didn¡¯t expect that she would actually lie here alone sleepily. She looked quite comfortable. ¡°What do you want to talk about?¡± Hu Jian raised her head to look at Qiao Han who was standing in the shade of the tree. His pair of clear and bright eyes were still slightly childish. His nose bridge was straight, his skin was smooth, and his lips were thin. His handsome face was well-defined, and his entire body was filled with a bright aura. He was indeed quite good-looking, no wonder so many girls liked him. However, she hated boys with thin lips the most. They were often selfish and self-centered. Qiao Han pursed his thin lips, lowered his eyes, and said, ¡°Go apologize to the teacher and then study hard in the future. Our main focus now should be to attend school.¡± Hu Jian laughed lightly and replied in a mocking tone, ¡°Apologize? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize? Besides, that¡¯s my business. You just have to mind your own business.¡± After saying that, Hu Jian seemed to have suddenly remembered something and reminded him, ¡°Also, control your admirers, don¡¯t let them disturb me.¡± Qiao Han raised his eyebrows, and a hint of doubt flashed across his handsome face. ¡°Hu Jian, you¡¯ve become very different.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it good that I¡¯ve become like this, not pestering you and not paying attention to you anymore? Or did you suddenly realize that you can¡¯t live without me?¡± Hu Jian was in a good mood and teased him with a chuckle. Qiao Han was rendered speechless. He realized that he seemed to be attracted to Hu Jian. Qiao Han, who was rarely stopped, didn¡¯t get angry. Instead, he revealed a charming smile. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t mind you drugging me, but you shouldn¡¯t do such a thing that hurts your reputation.¡± Hu Jian raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her lips into a low mocking smile. ¡°I drugged you, and then I drank it myself¡­ your brain is just as I thought. You¡¯re not very smart, are you?¡± Hu Jian really wanted to re-examine Qiao Han. Didn¡¯t the diary say that Qiao Han was very smart and perfect? Also how he ignored and detested Little Hu Jian, but she felt that he was like a clingy fly, buzzing in her ears. ¡°Hu Jian, stop messing around. In a few days, you¡¯ll be assigned to F class.¡± Hu Jian got up impatiently and did not answer. She patted the grass off her body and walked towards the school gate. She had to go home. After all, this guy had already disturbed her rare and pleasant mood. Qiao Han stared at Hu Jian¡¯s back in a daze. What was with the impatience on her face just now? Moreover, he had taken the initiative to talk to her today, yet she didn¡¯t even bother to answer. She just got up and left? When she arrived at the door, Hu Jian smelled the aroma of food. She was a little stunned. So this was the smell of a home. ¡°This foster father really lives at home. He always comes home so early,¡± Hu Jian murmured as she entered the room. She opened the door and looked at the man in the kitchen. He was about thirty years old and had tanned skin. His facial features were deep and distinct, like a Greek sculpture. His tall and slender body, under the contrast of the white shirt, appeared even more delicate and straight, masculine and bright, his gentle eyes actually had a kind of charm that could make people addicted. Unlike Qiao Han¡¯s tender body, this man¡¯s entire body was exuding male pheromones. No wonder Little Hu Jian was infatuated. ¡°You¡¯re back, let¡¯s eat. Your teacher called. I¡¯ve already explained it to her, saying that you were just overly shocked. She¡¯s allowed you to return to school tomorrow.¡± The man said as he brought out the dishes from the kitchen. Hu Jian knew that this man would not let her be kicked out of school. There was no reason. It was just a hunch that this foster father might not be as simple as he looked. Hu Jian quietly put down her school bag, washed her hands, and sat down to eat. She did not say a word throughout the whole process. The man had been picking food for Hu Jian. He even picked out the fish bones before giving them to her. He even thoughtfully brewed chicken soup for her. Hu Jian had always been very independent in her previous life. She had never been taken care of like this. Her heart was filled with strange feelings.. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian really wanted to tell this man that she was no longer Little Hu Jian and he did not need to do this for her. Because she did not want to accept the kindness of others for nothing and did not want to be in the same room with this man. The complicated relationship between Little Hu Jian and this man made Hu Jian feel uncomfortable. After eating, Hu Jian went back to her room and turned on her computer. She had been looking for news about the car accident. After searching for a long time, she did not see any specific news about that incident. Obviously, the incident that day had been suppressed by someone. The deal that day was related to a billion-dollar transaction, and it was also an important stage for the ¡°Dragon Gate¡± to open up the eastern market. Only she and the leader knew about the whole affair. Logically, no one would have found out about it. But as someone who had been on the brink of death for many years, she didn¡¯t believe that the car accident was an accident. She could not think of anything unusual about that day. But there was a strange matter. Jack, who rarely called her, called her to ask if things were going well. Because she had lived on the brink of death for many years, she would usually send messages in code. Unless it was an emergency, she would not normally use her phone. This made her think that it was too much of a coincidence. Jack, as Hu Jian¡¯s most capable subordinate, had always been trusted by Hu Jian. Lin Yan looked at Hu Jian, who had entered her room after eating and not come out. He stood at the door and knocked: ¡°Little Jian, are you asleep? You have to continue to attend school tomorrow.¡± Hu Jian pursed her lips and frowned slightly. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep. I¡¯ll go to school tomorrow.¡± Lin Yan, who was standing at the door, realized that Hu Jian had become a little strange since that night. In the past, Hu Jian would stick to him and talk about some things that had happened in school. Ever since that day, apart from eating, she would spend the rest of her time hiding in her room. ¨C The next day. After eating breakfast, Hu Jian ran to school. This particular body was too thin and weak. As someone who had been training all year round, she was not used to this skinny body. As soon as she reached the classroom door, she saw Qiao Han. As the class monitor, Qiao Han looked at Hu Jian expressionlessly. ¡°The teacher-in-charge wants you to go to her office.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Hu Jian put her hands in her pockets and walked leisurely to the teacher-in-charge¡¯s office. Qiao Han looked at Hu Jian¡¯s back and the complicated expression on his face deepened. In the office. Hu Jian slowly walked through the door. Her thin little face said plainly, ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re looking for me?¡± The fat teacher, Wang Li, glanced at Hu Jian and snorted coldly. ¡°Hu Jian, seeing that you¡¯ve been studying seriously before, I won¡¯t punish you for what happened this time. But you still have to go to Class F, and also, you have to write a self-reflection essay for me.¡± Wang Li actually didn¡¯t want to let Hu Jian off so easily, but since the principal had spoken, she could only do as instructed. Hu Jian kept her hands in her pocket and laughed lightly. ¡°Why do I have to write a self-reflection essay? Can you tell me what I¡¯ve done wrong?¡± When Wang Li heard this, her tone turned sharp. ¡°You haven¡¯t done anything wrong. What have you done to Qiao Han that you don¡¯t know in your heart? Your exam results dropped by 200 places! And you still say that you didn¡¯t do anything. Don¡¯t your parents feel that you¡¯re embarrassing?¡± Hu Jian¡¯s long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her tone turned cold. ¡°As a teacher, you didn¡¯t even investigate clearly. Without any evidence, you only heard a few words from other classmates, and you assume that I¡¯m the one who drugged him.¡± She leaned forward and came close to the office desk. ¡°So how stupid do you think I am to drink the drug that I spiked myself, and then make it known to the entire school?¡± Wang Li was stunned. She frowned and looked thoughtful. She was also surprised by Hu Jian¡¯s change. She didn¡¯t look like a girl her age at all. Hu Jian¡¯s gaze was so steady that she couldn¡¯t even look at her directly. Although Hu Jian¡¯s words did make some sense, how could she admit that these were her one-sided assumptions, so she habitually said sternly, ¡°If you can prove that you didn¡¯t give the medicine, then you don¡¯t have to write this essay, and you don¡¯t have to go to Class F.¡± Hu Jian¡¯s heart was really tired. She would rather accept a simple mission to kill someone than stand here and confront a stupid woman. What an annoying script! Hu Jian thought to herself.. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, Hu Jian was also waiting for Wang Li to say something like that. She wanted to clear Little Hu Jian¡¯s name of drugging others and find out who the real culprit was. Therefore, she immediately said calmly, ¡°Right now is self-study class. Teacher, you just need to stand at the door of the classroom. You don¡¯t have to say anything. As long as you are by the door, I will give you the truth. As for F Class, I will go.¡± Wang Li looked at Hu Jian¡¯s confident look as she walked out. She subconsciously felt that this matter might really not have been done by Hu Jian. Because this was a self-study class, there was still some noise in the classroom, but it was not loud. When everyone saw Hu Jian enter, they all looked at her. Hu Jian did not want to listen carefully, as she knew that it was definitely another discussion. Little Hu Jian was really hated by thousands of people. It seemed that it was impossible to clear her name. The fake best friend, Yang Si, closed her textbook. She leaned over to Hu Jian and asked worriedly, ¡°Hu Jian, are you alright after running out like that yesterday? I was worried to death. However, when I saw the teacher-in-charge so angry, I didn¡¯t dare to chase after you.¡± Yang Si acted as if nothing had happened. In fact, Yang Si also thought that Hu Jian was angry at her yesterday because of the results. After all, a cornered animal would still bite. However, based on her understanding of Hu Jian for so many years, she knew that Hu Jian was very easy to fool. Moreover, Hu Jian would not dare to conclude that Yang Si was behind the results because Hu Jian still needed her as a friend. As for Hu Jian, she was just a person that Yang Si could tease at will. She was happy to see Hu Jian make a fool of herself in anything. Hu Jian curled the corners of her lips. Since you want to perform, I will accompany you. In the next moment, Hu Jian¡¯s expression suddenly became timid, and there was tension in the corners of her eyes, she lowered her voice and said, ¡°Yang Si, the glass of water you gave me¡­ was it you that put in the drug? I¡­ I don¡¯t even know what happened. Now everyone is saying that I was the one who planned to give Qiao Han the drug¡­¡± Yang Si¡¯s expression immediately tensed up. She looked around and lowered her voice, ¡°What are you talking about? When did I put the drug in your water? Hu Jian, are you suspecting me?¡± It seemed that Yang Si was still very careful and was unwilling to admit her crimes at any time. Hu Jian immediately shook her head desperately, as if she was afraid of losing Yang Si as a friend, there was a hint of shock in her eyes. ¡°No, how is that possible? I never doubted you! But¡­ I only drank a cup of water that night, the one you handed me. I guess someone else must have tampered with it.¡± Yang Si squinted at Hu Jian¡¯s expression and agreed, ¡°It is indeed possible. Don¡¯t forget, when everyone was estranged from you and ridiculing you, only I was still supporting you. If you really doubted me, that would be too disappointing!¡± A hint of undetectable mockery flashed in Hu Jian¡¯s eyes. That night, it was Yang Si who urged Hu Jian to drug Qiao Han¡¯s water, but Hu Jian refused. Later, Yang Si handed Hu Jian a glass of water. Hu Jian drank the glass of water herself, and when she woke up, she appeared in the warehouse. Everyone said that Hu Jian was preparing to drug Qiao Han, but in the end drank it by mistake. Such words must have been spread by Yang Si. Hu Jian lowered her voice again. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. Qiao Han has already found the glass. I suggested that he take it to be identified for fingerprints. You must know, he said that all the glasses that night were sterilized. Before they were in the hands of the guests, even the waiters wore gloves. So as long as the fingerprints are tested, besides yours and mine, once a third person appears, it must be the person who framed me!¡± Yang Si¡¯s expression cracked, and her eyes widened. ¡°You suggested that Qiao Han go for an investigation? How is that possible? When did this happen?¡± Hu Jian said, ¡°It happened yesterday, after I left.¡± Yesterday? Yang Si suddenly remembered that someone did say that they saw Qiao Han and Hu Jian talking on the field yesterday. She didn¡¯t take it seriously at that time, and only thought that Qiao Han was warning Hu Jian. Yang Si subconsciously thought that Hu Jian wouldn¡¯t lie to her, and her heart suddenly felt a little flustered. At this moment, Hu Jian continued to say, ¡°That¡¯s why I asked you just now, did you put in the drug? If it really was you, then you were doing something wrong for my sake. Later, I accidentally drank that glass of water, and it was also my own mistake. So I thought, if it really was you, I would ask Qiao Han to stop the investigation.¡± ¡°But if it¡¯s not you, then someone must be trying to frame me. I must investigate this matter to the end!¡± Hu Jian¡¯s words made Yang Si¡¯s ears buzz. But she heard Hu Jian add, ¡°Qiao Han is also very angry. He said that he has a way to catch the culprit.¡± Yang Si suddenly grabbed Hu Jian¡¯s wrist. Hu Jian looked puzzled. Yang Si looked in Qiao Han¡¯s direction and happened to see Qiao Han¡¯s gaze. It was cold, with a hint of disgust and coldness. Yang Si immediately lowered her voice and said to Hu Jian, ¡°Hu Jian, if I really did this, will you really forgive me?¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian looked puzzled. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Yang Si shook her head, tears appearing in her eyes, ¡°You guessed right. I did it all for you, I was the one who drugged that cup of water, but I really only wanted to help you! Because I know that you are too timid! You don¡¯t dare to confess to Qiao Han. If I had told you that there was an aphrodisiac in the water, you would definitely not agree.¡± ¡°Hu Jian, I was wrong in this matter, but I need you to know that I absolutely have no ill intentions!¡± Hu Jian raised her eyebrows and smiled mockingly. ¡°So, you admit that you were the one who put the aphrodisiac in the glass of water? And it was without my knowledge?¡± Yang Si¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong. But since they had already said this much, she only hoped that she could fool Hu Jian as soon as possible, so that she and Qiao Han could stop that damn investigation. ¡°Yes, you said that you would forgive me and not continue the investigation, right?¡± Yang Si stared at Hu Jian with a sincere expression. Hu Jian nodded. ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t continue the investigation.¡± Yang Si heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. That damn Hu Jian was still as gullible as ever. However, she heard Hu Jian continue, ¡°Because my investigation has already come to a conclusion.¡± Yang Si looked at Hu Jian in confusion. Hu Jian had already stood up, raised the recording pen in her hand, and pressed the play button. The students in the classroom all quieted down because of Hu Jian¡¯s actions. Instantly, the conversation between the two of them appeared in the quiet classroom. Everyone looked at Hu Jian in surprise, as well as the recording pen in her hand¡­ There was also Yang Si¡¯s face, which was pale to the point that it had lost all color. She was so nervous and shocked that it was almost twisted. ¡ª ¡°So, you admit that you were the one who put the drug in the glass of water? And that it was without my knowledge?¡± ¡°Yes, you said that you would forgive me and not continue the investigation, right?¡± ¡°Of course, I will not continue to investigate, because my investigation has already come to a conclusion.¡± ¡ª A very clear dialogue made everyone instantly understand what was going on. In the class, someone said in shock, ¡°Oh my god! After Hu Jian fainted, it was Yang Si who told me that Hu Jian was using an aphrodisiac on Qiao Han, and accidentally drank it! I actually thought it was true, and even helped her spread it around!¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯ve always felt that something was wrong with this matter. It was clearly Hu Jian who drank the glass of water, why did everyone say that she was drugging Qiao Han after the incident? If Hu Jian really did it, would she be stupid enough to say it herself? So it was all because of you, a manipulator!¡± Yang Si listened to the increasing discussion about her in the class. She suddenly stood up and tried to reach out to grab the recording pen in Hu Jian¡¯s hand. Hu Jian dodged easily. The tip of her feet hooked the chair without leaving a trace, causing the chair to stumble right in front of Yang Si. Bang! Yang Si fell to the ground in a sorry state. Qiao Han also stood up coldly and stared at Yang Si. ¡°Did you do it?¡± Yang Si lay on the ground and shook her head. Her face was pale. She suddenly pointed at a few girls who were laughing secretly. ¡°It¡¯s Wang Xin! The medicine was given to me by Wang Xin. She is the mastermind behind it!¡± The medicine was indeed given to her by Wang Xin. The school beauty, Wang Xin, was originally watching the show with a few of her lackeys. She laughed mockingly because of this. She never thought that Yang Si would actually dare to expose her. Wang Xin¡¯s lackey immediately stood up. ¡°What are you talking about? How could Wang Xin do such a thing? Yang Si, you¡¯re desperate and want to drag someone down with you. You¡¯re too shameless!¡± Yang Si got up and said, ¡°No, Wang Xin gave me the medicine. She only told me to put it in the glass and give it to the Hu Jian. At first, I really didn¡¯t know what it was!¡± Wang Xin burst out laughing. She looked at Yang Si in disbelief, ¡°Oh my god, you¡¯re really too cute, Yang Si. So stupid that you¡¯re cute! In the recording, you clearly admitted that you drugged Hu Jian in order to help her with Qiao Han, but now you¡¯re saying the opposite. You said that you didn¡¯t know what the medicine was at first?¡± She shrugged and looked at the crowd. ¡°Alright, I admit that I did give the medicine to Yang Si.¡± The entire class was stunned. Wang Xin curled the corners of her lips. ¡°My father runs a pharmaceutical company. Yang Si knew that I could easily obtain that medicine, so she came to beg me, saying that it was to help her family.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°You should know that some drugs not only have superficial effects, just like marijuana can be used as a sedative in clinical medicine, this drug also has therapeutic uses, but it¡¯s hard to find on the market. That¡¯s why I helped Yang Si get the drug. As for what she used these drugs for, just as she admitted in the recording, she had her own plans, and I didn¡¯t know.¡± Wang Xin crossed her arms and leaned against the table, ¡°I do have a involvement in this matter. My biggest mistake was that I did not understand the other party¡¯s intentions and provided the other party with the medicine. Yang Si¡¯s current actions have made me realize¡­ that some people are not worth my help.¡± She narrowed her eyes. The threat in her eyes was obvious. Yang Si subconsciously shrank back. Yang Si began to regret exposing Wang Xin. She knew that Wang Xin had a lot of influence in school and had a strong family background. Yang Si could not afford to offend her. ¡°It¡¯s Hu Jian! Hu Jian¡¯s recording is fake! Isn¡¯t that right Hu Jian, this recording of yours was simply forged by someone!¡± Yang Si was too nervous now. She was already spouting nonsense in an attempt to find the slightest possibility of removing herself from this matter. However, she had forgotten that her action of reporting Wang Xin earlier had already proved her admitting of this recording. Hu Jian chuckled and asked towards the classroom door, ¡°Teacher Wang, do you think I have the time to synthesize a recording?¡± Everyone was puzzled. What was Hu Jian doing? At the same time, the teacher-in-charge, Wang Li, walked into the classroom with her round body. She stared at the recording pen in Hu Jian¡¯s hand with an unpleasant expression. ¡°This is the recording pen that I use to prepare for class. Hu Jian, did you take this from my desk just now?¡± It turned out that Hu Jian had gotten this recording pen from her desk when she was talking to Wang Li in the office. Hu Jian had taken it away. Anyway, if she asked to borrow it, Wang Li would never agree to lend it to her, given how much she hated Hu Jian. All the students in the class could not help but let out an ¡°Ah¡­¡± sound. It turned out that Hu Jian had just gotten the recording pen from Wang Li, so it was impossible for her to have time to synthesize the recording. Yang Si¡¯s last bit of struggle was also shattered. Wang Li glanced at Yang Si and then looked at Wang Xin. She still liked Wang Xin very much. ¡°Yang Si, Wang Xin, follow me to the office. The others will study by themselves.¡± As she said this, Wang Li walked out of the classroom. Pa¡­ Pa, the sound of banging on the table suddenly rang out in the class. There were even people who jeered: ¡°Hu Jian, not bad. You have guts. I¡¯m starting to like you a little.¡± Yang Si¡¯s face was pale. When she passed by Hu Jian, she did not forget to glare at her. Wang Xin was not nervous. She crossed her arms and walked leisurely to the office. She knew that no one would do anything to her. After all, Wang Li had received a valuable watch from her father not long ago. Moreover, Yang Si really could not bring out any other evidence. After Qiao Han saw Yang Si follow Wang Li, he began to think about Hu Jian¡¯s performance today. His heart was in a mess. He was once again sure that he was attracted to Hu Jian, whether it was her calmness yesterday or the determined look in her eyes today. The next few classes passed peacefully while Hu Jian¡¯s mind wandered. At this moment, she was leisurely walking on the avenue and was about to leave the school gate. There were two hundred-year-old trees on both sides of the avenue. She really liked this atmosphere. At dusk, she looked up at the sunset and saw the sunlight penetrating the leaves and hitting the ground, forming the shapes that fascinated her. It reminded her of a sentence that was exquisitely romantic: With the Tyndall Effect, light was given shape, With you before me, there is light in my eyes. Her light, would she be lucky enough to encounter it in her second life? In her previous life, love was a luxury for her. Therefore, she had always treated lust as a physiological need and had never been moved. She also knew that her life, in which she did not know where she would be the next day, did not deserve a home. Hu Jian, who was indulging in wild thoughts, suddenly felt a dangerous aura approaching. It was almost a subconscious reaction. Her body was already faster than her brain. She suddenly turned around and grabbed the other party¡¯s wrist.. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next moment, she did a clean shoulder throw! A boy wearing a sports shirt was thrown to the ground by her. Hu Jian also saw the people walking towards her behind her. Wang Xin, and two girls that were her followers. There were two other boys, and one of them had just been thrown to the ground by Hu Jian. It seemed that these people were planning to take revenge on her? Hu Jian leisurely stepped on the boy¡¯s body and gently rubbed her shoulder. This body was too weak, and her shoulder had almost been displaced. Wang Xin smiled faintly, and her expression was filled with disdain. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have some skills. Hu Jian, do you want to watch a show with me? You¡¯ll definitely like it.¡± Wang Xin, the legendary school beauty, had clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes that trembled slightly. Her fair and flawless skin emitted a faint pink, and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals. However, at this moment, four words flashed through Hu Jian¡¯s mind. Heart of a snake. Hu Jian narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Xin. She did not know what Wang Xin was planning, but if she fought head-on with the other party, her current physical fitness was probably not enough to face two boys head-on. ¡°Watch a show?¡± Hu Jian asked. Wang Xin just smiled and turned to another small path, which led to the abandoned factory behind the school. ¡°Follow me.¡± Hu Jian followed Wang Xin and the others to the abandoned factory that she had woken up from. From afar, she could vaguely hear the sound of exploding music coming from the factory. When they arrived at the factory gate, Hu Jian saw the situation inside clearly and couldn¡¯t help but frown. Yang Si¡¯s snow-white body was naked and completely exposed. Her hair had long been disheveled and her body was full of red marks. Her eyes were filled with blurred lust, just like a woman who was drunk. A man was sprinting vigorously on her body, using his own genitals to violently hit Yang Si¡¯s lower body. She cried and moaned, as if in pain, but also as if she was happy. The man stood up and immediately changed to another man. There were at least five or six naked young men in the factory at the moment. They were drinking cheap beer and listening to violent music, taking turns to assault the delirious Yang Si. This situation seemed to have lasted for an unknown amount of time. Yang Si moaned in pain and kept rolling her eyes. Suddenly, Wang Xin¡¯s arrogant and faint laughter rang in her ears. ¡°It¡¯s the same kind of medicine that you ate. How is it? I said that you would like this show very much, didn¡¯t I?¡± Hu Jian said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re wrong. I don¡¯t like it.¡± Wang Xin tilted her head and looked at Hu Jian. Her thin and small body, her cold expression, and her wise and steady gaze. Why hadn¡¯t she noticed the existence of Hu Jian before? Wang Xin curled the corners of her lips. ¡°Why don¡¯t you follow me? I¡¯ll guarantee that you won¡¯t suffer any unfair treatment in this school.¡± Hu Jian raised her eyebrows and looked at the two girls behind Wang Xin. ¡°Be like them and be your sidekick?¡± Wang Xin chuckled. ¡°Sidekick? Hmm¡­ whatever you say.¡± Hu Jian put her hands into her pockets. ¡°Forget it. You¡¯re not qualified to be my boss.¡± Wang Xin frowned unhappily. ¡°I helped you take revenge, and I didn¡¯t mind your trouble implicating me. I even admire your tough bones. Shouldn¡¯t you be thanking me?¡± Thank you? A hint of mockery flashed in Hu Jian¡¯s eyes. If it weren¡¯t for Little Hu Jian¡¯s good luck, and the few girls who had locked her up that day didn¡¯t do anything out of line under Qiao Han¡¯s orders. Perhaps her fate wouldn¡¯t have been much better than Yang Si¡¯s now. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you did something that I hate the most in my life.¡± Hu Jian pointed at everything that had happened in the factory. ¡°I hate rape. That¡¯s really disgusting.¡± After saying that, Hu Jian turned around, but she was quickly surrounded by the two men beside Wang Xin and a few naked youths who had rushed out of the factory. ¡°Hey, do you think we¡¯ll let you leave just like that? If you go to the police, we¡¯ll all be finished!¡± ¡°Do you want to stay and play with us?¡± ¡°Or you can promise School Beauty Wang to become one of us. We won¡¯t do anything to you. After all, with your figure, I really don¡¯t have much of an appetite.¡± Hu Jian frowned, a cold light appearing in her eyes. She suddenly turned her body and grabbed the wrist of the man beside her that was about to grab her shoulder. She kicked the man¡¯s waist at an extremely fast speed. As an assassin, she was very clear about which parts of the opponent she was attacking, which could quickly make people lose their ability to fight. Unfortunately, her current body was too weak. Whether it was strength or endurance, it was unable to sustain her in a prolonged battle.. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The man was hit and fell to the ground while clutching his abdomen. He let out a painful wail, but at the same time, the others were also furious and reached out to grab Hu Jian at the same time. Accompanied by Wang Xin¡¯s angry growl, ¡°Grab her!¡± Hu Jian was caught in a fierce battle. Although the other party could not take Hu Jian down quickly, Hu Jian was also in a very difficult position. She stretched out her arm to receive the man¡¯s punch, and her back was kicked by someone. Hu Jian fell to the ground, and her body quickly rolled on the ground. After she got up, her eyes were bloodshot. ¡°A group of people bullying a weak girl, and are even doing it with way too many people.¡± Following a sudden voice, a tall figure jumped down from a tree and landed in front of Hu Jian. Wang Xin looked at the person who jumped down from the tree, and her expression changed slightly. ¡°Li Yang, so it¡¯s you. Go back to your F Class, don¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± Hu Jian endured the pain on her body and looked at the boy with her bloodshot eyes. The cold and aloof side of his face, the midnight-like cold eyes, and the devilish aura exuded from him. His entire body exuded a coldness that made people unwilling to get close to him. On the countless dangerous missions she had participated in, she had felt death approaching multiple times. At that time, she had also longed for someone to suddenly descend from the sky to save her and then tell her that it was fine. He would be there for everything, but every time, she would endure until the end and then slowly treat herself. Today, she had met with danger when she was reborn into the body of Little Hu Jian. She did not expect that someone would really jump down from the sky to save her. As she thought self-deprecatingly, Hu Jian secretly swore that she would definitely train this thin and weak body properly in the future. Li Yang stretched out his hand to push away the two boys and said in a frivolous manner, ¡°Wang Xin, it¡¯s better for girls to be kinder. You look really ugly like this.¡± Wang Xin did not want to get into a conflict with Li Yang. Although Li Yang was in F Class, he was the one who stepped in first. In fact, he was also the champion of this year¡¯s Provincial Olympiad math competition, and the Student Council President. It was said that he did not like the hypocrisy of the teacher in A Class, so he transferred to F Class. And Li Yang himself had a hundred-year-old family background, so Wang Xin did not want to offend Li Yang. Li Yang suddenly reached out and put his arm around Hu Jian¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ll take this young lady with me. Also, I¡¯ll call the police in three minutes. Tell your brothers who aren¡¯t done yet to hurry up.¡± After walking some distance, Li Yang looked at Hu Jian¡¯s shoulder from the corner of his eyes. ¡°Are you injured? I¡¯ll send you to the hospital.¡± Hu Jian did not know why, but her voice softened a little. ¡°No need. Thank you for today. I¡¯ll thank you again in the future. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when I transfer to F Class.¡± Li Yang took Hu Jian¡¯s bag and hung it on his shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital. Your injury might not be able to be treated by the school doctor.¡±. She did not feel it just now, but now that her nerves had relaxed, Hu Jian¡¯s entire body was in severe pain. It was obvious that she had suffered serious injuries in many parts of her body. In summer, the hospital was always crowded. This was a place where there was no need to worry about a lack of business. Other than the market, this was the other place where many oddities and people gathered. Everyone in the emergency department was so busy that they did not even dare to drink water. They were afraid that they would have to go to the toilet after drinking water. Lin Yan was the chief physician of the emergency department. He had transferred to this city from the military doctor¡¯s side. His family had been practicing medicine for generations. Later, due to some coincidences, he became a military doctor and also met Hu Jian¡¯s father. Strictly speaking, it was Hu Jian¡¯s father who saved him. When he had just become a military doctor, an earthquake had occurred in a remote area. He had been urgently transferred to the earthquake area and saw the devastation. He saw the cruelty of a natural disaster. When he was saving a child, he had encountered an aftershock. It was Hu Jian¡¯s father who had used his own life to save Lin Yan. Lin Yan managed to save the child, but he had not been able to save Hu Jian¡¯s father. Hu Jian¡¯s father¡¯s last wish was that Lin Yan could visit his daughter, Hu Jian, on his behalf. Later on, Lin Yan was immersed in the shadow of countless deaths and the death of Hu Jian¡¯s father. He had nightmares every night and could not control himself. Later on, he resigned from the Military Academy and went silent for a year. Later on, he came to A City and asked about Hu Jian¡¯s whereabouts. At that time, Hu Jian¡¯s mother remarried and for some reason, had sent Hu Jian to an orphanage. When he first saw Hu Jian, she was thin and weak. Her eyes were as clean as a newborn baby¡¯s and she smiled at him. He felt that he had been saved. Later, he adopted Hu Jian and settled down in this city. He was invited by the hospital director to become a doctor in the emergency department. After ten years, life became simple and peaceful. Little Hu Jian healed Lin Yan, and Lin Yan also filled in her missing kinship. The two of them relied on each other for their lives. That kinship gradually changed direction as Hu Jian grew up. When Hu Jian was sixteen, Lin Yan finally confirmed his feelings for this girl. Little Hu Jian did not seem to reject him. In fact, she was even more dependent and infatuated with him. But recently, Hu Jian seemed to have become different from before. ¡°Director Lin? Director Lin? The patient has been waiting for a while. Should I let him in?¡± The young nurse stared at Lin Yan with a blushing face. In the hospital, Lin Yan was the dream of most single women. He was handsome, rich, had a perfect figure, and had superb medical skills. Even if the young nurse just stared at him for a while, she would unconsciously blush.. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Yan nodded. The young nurse quickly opened the door and called the next patient in. Lin Yan lowered his head to check the computer. He could faintly hear the young nurse talking to someone. ¡°This is an external injury. You should go to the trauma department.¡± Lin Yan casually raised his head to take a look. He saw a slender figure standing at the door, ready to turn around and leave. He was stunned for a moment. ¡°Hu Jian?¡± As Lin Yan¡¯s words fell, the figure turned around again. Her thin little face was a little sickly pale. Her face was expressionless and her eyes were cold. Wasn¡¯t that his Hu Jian? Hu Jian did not expect Lin Yan to be the attending physician here. She suddenly frowned when they met. ¡°Let her in,¡± Lin Yan said to the nurse. The young nurse looked at Hu Jian in confusion. Could she be a relative of Doctor Lin? Hu Jian entered the door. Li Yang had just helped Hu Jian register for the emergency department before he left. Hu Jian entered the door. The nurse followed Lin Yan¡¯s instructions and left. She closed the door from the outside. Lin Yan stood up and looked at Hu Jian¡¯s disheveled appearance. His expression changed slightly. ¡°Did you get into a fight? Where are you hurt?¡± Hu Jian pursed her lips. Her injuries were quite serious. The main reason was that her body was too weak. Against a few boys, it was useless even if she had skills. As the saying went, a random punch could kill an old master. Every time she got hit, it was very difficult for her body to bear. She didn¡¯t feel it when she was fighting, but when her nerves relaxed, Hu Jian realized that her injuries were quite serious. Facing Lin Yan, she didn¡¯t know how to explain it. ¡°Take off your clothes,¡± Lin Yan said to Hu Jian as he rummaged through the cabinet for medicine. When he turned his head, he realized that Hu Jian had already taken off her school uniform and shirt, revealing the girl¡¯s fair and slender body. Hu Jian was only wearing a pair of school uniform pants, and on her upper body was a white bra. It was half cup-shaped, and one-third of her breasts were visible. Since he had bathed Hu Jian since she was young, Lin Yan was already very familiar with this body. However, in such a situation, the Hu Jian in front of him still caused his hand movements to freeze. He forcefully pulled himself together and looked at Hu Jian¡¯s injuries. There were scratches and bruises on her waist, back, and arms. Lin Yan went forward to apply medicine on Hu Jian. Hu Jian sat there expressionlessly, as if someone else had suffered these serious injuries. Even if Lin Yan rubbed Iodophor on her bleeding wounds, she didn¡¯t even frown. ¡°Who did it?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice was suppressing his anger. Hu Jian said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m not the one who suffered.¡± She was telling the truth. Although she was seriously injured, the men weren¡¯t much better. After all, she knew very well what position could be used to defeat her opponent. One of the men¡¯s ribs was probably broken. The one that suffered most in this battle definitely wasn¡¯t her. So, should she tell Lin Yan to avenge her? Or should she tell the school to look for trouble with the other party later? This would make Hu Jian feel embarrassed. Lin Yan raised his head and glanced at her. From that thin little face, he could only see indifference and determination. He felt that he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to get an answer. In the end, Lin Yan decided to focus on applying the medicine for her. Hu Jian lowered her head and looked at Lin Yan¡¯s serious and focused expression. She subconsciously pursed her lips. Even though she knew that the person the other party truly cared about was Little Hu Jian and not her, there was an indescribable emotion in the depths of Hu Jian¡¯s heart. If this person was really Little Hu Jian¡¯s biological father and there were no complicated feelings between the two of them, perhaps Hu Jian would find it easier to accept his kindness. However, this man was only 29 years old this year, 12 years older than Hu Jian. As a foster father, he had an unclear relationship with Little Hu Jian, which made Hu Jian not know how to face him.. Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Lin Yan adopted Little Hu Jian, he was less than twenty years old. This made Hu Jian very curious about what this man had been through, or what he was running from. He always made Hu Jian have a feeling that he was not as simple as he looked. A twenty-year-old youth had chosen to take in an abandoned girl, and had endured an ordinary life in a small city for a whole decade. This was something that was unbelievable and even more intriguing. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel bored?¡± Hu Jian lowered her head to look at him and suddenly asked. Lin Yan raised his head and met Hu Jian¡¯s eyes. A hint of doubt flashed across his good-looking eyes. Hu Jian pursed her lips. ¡°Accompanying a teenage girl and living in a city that you don¡¯t belong for ten years, don¡¯t you feel bored?¡± Hu Jian¡¯s diary had mentioned that Lin Yan had once said that he was her father¡¯s comrade-in-arms, and only came to this small city for Hu Jian. A smile flashed across Lin Yan¡¯s eyes as he continued to lower his head and focus on treating Hu Jian¡¯s injuries. ¡°Perhaps.¡± Hu Jian frowned. ¡°You could have had a more exciting life.¡± Lin Yan curled the corners of his lips. ¡°What is exciting?¡± Hu Jian was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this question before. Perhaps, her previous life could be considered an exciting life? Lin Yan bandaged Hu Jian¡¯s final wound. As he tidied up the medicine on the table, he said, ¡°As long as it¡¯s the life I want, it¡¯s an exciting life for me. What about you? What is the life you want?¡± When he asked this question, Lin Yan¡¯s fingers curled up slightly. Little Hu Jian used to like him very much. When she turned 16, she even took the initiative to ask him to possess her, but Lin Yan refused. He had always used the excuse of waiting for her to be older. But in reality, Lin Yan was worried that Hu Jian would regret it. After all, she was only a 17-year-old girl now. Her life was still full of endless variables. He didn¡¯t want her current impulsiveness to affect her future life. Therefore, he had always wanted to know what kind of life Hu Jian wanted, but he subconsciously avoided asking. However, Lin Yan¡¯s question touched Hu Jian¡¯s heart. Her eyes flashed, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. The life she wanted, was exciting? What kind of life did she want? This question had never crossed her mind in her previous life. ¡°I don¡¯t know, because¡­ I¡¯ve never had the right to choose the life I want,¡± Hu Jian answered truthfully in a low voice. Lin Yan¡¯s face turned pale. Was Hu Jian implying that his appearance had restricted her life and interfered with her right to choose how to live? He curled his fingers and revealed a relieved smile. He turned his head, squatted down, and looked at Hu Jian seriously. ¡°Listen to me. From now on, no matter what kind of life you want to choose, I will support you.¡± Hu Jian met Lin Yan¡¯s eyes. She saw a hint of struggle, a hint of despair, and a hint of relief in the man¡¯s eyes. Hu Jian knew that he had probably misunderstood her meaning, but she did not intend to explain anything, nor did she know how to explain it. But Lin Yan¡¯s words seemed to remind her that, yes, she now had the right to choose her own life. She no longer owed anyone, and she had already given up her most precious life. She seemed to have no reason to set foot on that path again, and there was no reason to give up her life for that person again. From the moment she was reborn as Little Hu Jian, she had the right to choose her own life.. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Lin Yan finished applying medicine on Hu Jian, he told her to go home. He had to work overtime tonight. After instructing Hu Jian on several things, he finally let Hu Jian go home. When Hu Jian went out, she saw Li Yang. It turned out that Li Yang didn¡¯t leave, but had instead been waiting for Hu Jian outside. When he saw her coming out, his expression changed slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll send you home?¡± Li Yang frowned as he looked at Hu Jian and asked. ¡°No need. Thank you for today¡¯s matter. As I mentioned earlier, I will treat you to a meal once I enter F class. You should go back first.¡± When Li Yang heard what Hu Jian said, he only took a careful look at Hu Jian. When he found that there was nothing else, he turned around and left. Hu Jian really could not stand her current body. She had to go home and rest now. Hu Jian¡¯s physique was really too weak! After calling a taxi, Hu Jian waited by the roadside, thinking about how to strengthen her physique. ¡­ After returning home, Hu Jian washed up and returned to her room to rest. She would think about exercise tomorrow morning. In a short while, Hu Jian fell asleep. The next morning, Hu Jian woke up. She wanted to run two laps before going to school. It would be the same every day from now on. When she went downstairs, she didn¡¯t see Lin Yan, but she didn¡¯t think too much about it. Perhaps the hospital was too busy and he didn¡¯t come back? Hu Jian then went out for a run. When Hu Jian came back breathlessly, she caught a glimpse of the leather shoes at the front door and the food on the table. It was a little strange, did Lin Yan come back so soon? Just as she was about to go upstairs, Lin Yan came out of her room. ¡°Hu Jian, did you¡­ go for a run?¡± Lin Yan was about to ask her where she went when he saw the sportswear on her. Hu Jian nodded. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Yan felt it was a little ridiculous. Hu Jian just had medicine applied yesterday, and she already went running this morning? ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± After saying that, Hu Jian went to the bathroom to take a shower. Seeing Hu Jian like this, Lin Yan didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He just went downstairs to wait for Hu Jian. In the bathroom, Hu Jian was guessing what would happen when she went to school today. After she came out, she didn¡¯t have much to say to Lin Yan during breakfast. After she finished eating, she went to school on her own. Seeing Hu Jian like this, Lin Yan¡¯s heart was quite upset. It seemed that after she said those words yesterday, she had completely changed. Was she really anxious to get rid of him? ¡­ Coming to the school gate, Hu Jian¡¯s luck could be said to be very bad. On the way in, she met Wang Xin and her lackeys. Yesterday¡¯s matter hadn¡¯t been settled yet, causing Wang Xin to glare angrily at her. Hu Jian scoffed at this and walked away completely unconcerned. Not long after, it was Qiao Han. When Hu Jian saw him, she had no reaction at all, merely sweeping her gaze over before continuing to walk to the classroom. When she reached the teaching building, she met Li Yang. When she saw him, she had a subtle expression as they greeted each other before walking to the classroom. ¡°Look at this b*tch! Two days ago, she was extremely fond of Qiao Han. Now, she can¡¯t wait to get involved with Li Yang!¡± Wang Xin spoke fiercely as she saw this scene. Yesterday, Li Yang had taken Hu Jian away just like that, causing her to make a fool of herself in front of these little lackeys. So now, Wang Xin¡¯s hatred towards Hu Jian had increased a few levels. Qiao Han couldn¡¯t help but frown when he saw this scene. He couldn¡¯t understand Hu Jian¡¯s thoughts at all. Moreover, Li Yang had always been very arrogant and difficult to get close to. How could he be so friendly towards Hu Jian? When did they meet? After entering the classroom, Hu Jian naturally did not know that she was being scolded by Wang Xin and puzzling Qiao Han. She went to her seat and began to pack her books without any expression. ¡°Is Hu Jian here yet? Come to my office.¡± The teacher-in-charge, Wang Li, stood at the door and left immediately after seeing Hu Jian. Only then did Hu Jian put down the things in her hands and walk to the door. She brushed past Qiao Han and Wang Xin just like that. After entering the office, Hu Jian had more or less guessed what Wang Li was going to say. ¡°Hu Jian, it¡¯s like this. Yang Si did the right thing yesterday. It¡¯s indeed not your fault, but look at your results this time. You dropped more than two hundred places. According to our rules, you¡¯re going to Class F¡­¡± ¡°I got it, teacher. I¡¯ll go to Class F before class starts.¡± Hu Jian didn¡¯t wait for Wang Li to finish and directly interrupted her. ¡°Okay, then you can pack up and go over. Come back after you¡¯ve finished studying there.¡± Wang Li couldn¡¯t help but exchange a few pleasantries with Hu Jian when she saw how straightforward she was. Obviously, Hu Jian wasn¡¯t in the mood to exchange pleasantries. After replying, she left the office to continue packing. Qiao Han looked at Hu Jian, who was packing her books, and frowned slightly. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Hu Jian didn¡¯t even look at him when she heard him. ¡°F class.¡± After she finished packing, she stood up and was about to leave the classroom. ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll help you talk to the teacher. You can continue to stay in A Class, why do you have to go to F Class to wallow in self-degradation?¡± Hu Jian naturally found it funny when she heard this. ¡°Do I need you to say anything? Just mind your own business. Who said that I¡¯m going to F Class to wallow in self-degradation? You really like to get involved with others.¡± Qiao Han looked at Hu Jian¡¯s back and felt a baffling sense of displeasure. He felt that he had started to become very strange. He couldn¡¯t help but pay attention to that person¡¯s affairs. He clearly didn¡¯t care when she tried so hard to please him before, now that she no longer tried to curry favor with him, he started to pay attention to her.. He was really in a dilemma! Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Not long after Hu Jian left, Wang Li called Qiao Han to her office. ¡°Qiao Han, your preparation for this exam is not bad. The school said that if your performance is as steady next time, the school will handle and guarantee your future studies.¡± Wang Li spoke so happily that her eyes could not be seen. ¡°Teacher, is Hu Jian really going to F Class?¡± Qiao Han still did not give up and asked. Wang Li was stunned at first. Wasn¡¯t this kid very annoyed with Hu Jian before? Why did he take the initiative to ask now? ¡°Yes, according to the school¡¯s rules, she has regressed a lot this time. Going to F Class is already a done deal. You guys don¡¯t need to care so much. Just care about yourself,¡± Wang Li said. Qiao Han still wanted to say something, but looking at Wang Li¡¯s expression, it was obvious that she was a little unhappy. He did not say anything and walked out of the classroom. Yang Si was originally going to F Class because of yesterday¡¯s incident, but because she stole Hu Jian¡¯s results, Wang Li saw that she had improved a lot and asked her to stay. Wang Xin saw that Hu Jian wasn¡¯t in A Class anymore, so she proceeded to target Yang Si. She actually dared to expose her yesterday, she really didn¡¯t know what was good for her! Yang Si received Wang Xin¡¯s vicious gaze and couldn¡¯t help but panic. Wan Xin hadn¡¯t publicized what happened yesterday, so she definitely had more planned. What should she do? It was all this damn Hu Jian¡¯s fault. If it wasn¡¯t for her, she wouldn¡¯t have to suffer all this! Yang Si lived a fearful life in A Class. F Class. When Hu Jian arrived, F Class was in a mess. As the name implied, F Class was basically a class where those ignorant and incompetent rich kids existed. The moment they saw Hu Jian, they were a little stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the woman who drugged Qiao Han?¡± ¡°Yeah, why is she in our class?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really strange. Our class just doesn¡¯t study, right? We wouldn¡¯t do things like drugging people!¡± ¡°Yeah, why is it that all kinds of people end up in our class?¡± ¡­ When the people from F Class saw Hu Jian, they began to whisper amongst themselves. Some of them relied on their family¡¯s backing to speak out loud. Hu Jian also turned a blind eye to this. She observed the distribution of seats in the class. Only then did Li Yang raise his head from the back seat. ¡°Over here.¡± After saying that, he proceeded to lower his head and busy himself. ¡°Ring, ring¡­¡± the bell for class rang. When Hu Jian heard the bell, she walked to the seat next to Li Yang and sat down. When the people around saw that Li Yang and Hu Jian were very familiar with each other, they were somewhat surprised. Li Yang actually asked Hu Jian to be his deskmate. This was really rare! ¡°Good morning, students.¡± The class teacher of Class F, Chen Yu, entered the door and said, ¡°Today, a new student has arrived in our class. We welcome this student.¡± Chen Yu immediately saw Hu Jian beside Li Yang. She raised her eyebrows and signaled Hu Jian to come over and introduce herself. Hu Jian stood up unwillingly and went to Chen Yu¡¯s side to introduce herself. ¡°Introduce yourself to your classmates,¡± Chen Yu said with a smile. ¡°Hu Jian, from A Class.¡± Hu Jian stopped talking after saying these words. Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to let her return to her seat. Actually, Hu Jian did not need to make this introduction. Basically, everyone in the school knew Hu Jian. She liked Qiao Han to the point of madness, including the fact that she failed to drug him earlier. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Hu Jian. Even if the teacher said that class was about to start, they were still looking at Hu Jian. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Hu Jian was a little speechless and couldn¡¯t help but ask coldly. After hearing Hu Jian¡¯s low grunt, the students nearby all turned back. However, the girl who was similarly sitting in the last row looked at Hu Jian with interest. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, and her eyes lingered between Li Yang and Hu Jian. Hu Jian did not need to listen to the teacher¡¯s explanation. She could understand these things just by looking at them. Her academic qualifications from her previous life did not die with her. She and Li Yang did not have the slightest intention of listening. Chen Yu, who was on the podium, saw that everyone was not in the mood to study and was not angry. She was just a little helpless. ¡°Hu Jian, do you know the solution to this problem?¡± Chen Yu saw that Hu Jian was reading a book and asked tentatively. Hu Jian looked up at Chen Yu¡¯s serious look. She got up and walked to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk and finished solving the problem with a few strokes. Then, she turned around and returned to her seat. ¡°As expected of a student from A Class. The problem was solved very well¡­¡± on the podium, Chen Yu was praising Hu Jian¡¯s beautiful solution to the problem. Hu Jian, who was below the stage, was not in the mood to listen at all. She turned her head to look out of the window. Hu Jian did not want to stay in school at all. Her movements were completely restricted! Just as she was thinking about various things, class passed just like that. Yang Si came over right after class. She was really haunting her. ¡°Is Hu Jian here?¡± Yang Si asked carefully at the door. ¡°Hu Jian, someone is looking for you,¡± the girl at the door shouted inside. Hu Jian could not help but be speechless when she saw Yang Si¡¯s figure at the door. Before Hu Jian could say anything, Yang Si quickly said, ¡°Hu Jian, are you alright here? Do good in this exam and quickly return.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t plan to go back. Aren¡¯t you joining us soon?¡± Hu Jian¡¯s words were full of sarcasm. Yang Si was a little afraid that Hu Jian would say that she stole the results. ¡°Ah? What are you talking about!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Looking at Yang Si¡¯s frightened expression, Hu Jian felt that it was extremely funny. ¡°You better learn your lesson. Yesterday¡¯s incident hasn¡¯t spread yet, you can still act proud now. Once it spreads, you¡¯ll be a clown,¡± Hu Jian whispered into Yang Si¡¯s ear. ¡°Don¡¯t think you¡¯re smart. If there¡¯s a next time, I won¡¯t let you off.¡± Although Hu Jian said this with a smile, Yang Si was extremely scared. It wasn¡¯t hard to hear the strong warning in her words. Yang Si thought about yesterday¡¯s incident and suddenly looked up at Hu Jian. Could she have been there too?! She actually saw it?! Wang Xin¡¯s revenge yesterday¡­ Yang Si couldn¡¯t care too much. She glanced at Hu Jian with fear and turned around to run away. On the way back, she thought that she shouldn¡¯t have come to look for Hu Jian. She didn¡¯t get any benefits and instead got a warning. When the people from F Class saw this scene, they were also a little confused. They looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. When they saw Yang Si¡¯s frightened look, they also didn¡¯t know the reason. On the other hand, Li Yang, who was in his seat, smiled. Yesterday, when he saw Hu Jian fighting, he had noticed that she had completely changed into a different person. Hu Jian, who had been weak before, had now become indifferent. This made him a little curious. Why had she changed so quickly? What had happened? He needed to slowly investigate all of this. Although the students in F Class were ignorant and incompetent, they were still much better than Wang Xin, who played dirty. Hu Jian did not care at all when faced with their few harsh words. It was just that Hu Jian had not noticed the girl in the back row. She had been watching her every move from beginning to end. Every time Hu Jian turned her head, the girl would always manage to lower her head one step faster. A day passed quickly. Hu Jian was packing her things and preparing to go home. After disappearing for an afternoon, Li Yang suddenly appeared in front of her. ¡°When are you going to treat me to a meal?¡± Li Yang said casually. Hu Jian did not expect him to appear now and speak of this. She was a little speechless. ¡°Do you want to eat today?¡± Hu Jian asked. ¡°Class is over. If you have time, let¡¯s eat today. I don¡¯t like to wait,¡± Li Yang said vaguely. Hu Jian didn¡¯t care too much. She packed her things, sent a message to Lin Yan, and went out together with Li Yang. Lin Yan didn¡¯t care too much when he heard that she was going out to eat with her classmates. He thought with relief that she was going to go out with Yang Si, so he left after a few words of advice. Hu Jian and Li Yang walked out of the school gate. Qiao Han, who was not far away, saw this scene. He couldn¡¯t help but get angry when he saw it. He was wondering why Hu Jian suddenly treated him so coldly. It turned out that she had found a new target. She really was a fickle girl! Qiao Han was really angry. She clearly liked him so much that she would resort to any means, but now she had turned around and forgotten about him. Hu Jian, who was about to treat Li Yang to a meal to thank him for helping yesterday, naturally did not know that Qiao Han had seen this scene, nor did she know that he had already scolded her a million times. The two of them randomly found a restaurant and went in. After finding a seat, Li Yang picked up the menu and asked Hu Jian what she wanted to eat. Hu Jian¡¯s meal was to thank Li Yang, so she pushed the menu back. ¡°Order whatever you want. After all, this meal is to thank you.¡± Seeing Hu Jian like this, Li Yang was too lazy to be polite. He picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes before putting it down. Hu Jian was originally admiring this restaurant, but she inadvertently saw Li Yang staring straight at her. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Hu Jian asked. ¡°Nothing much. I just want to see how you are different from before.¡± Li Yang smiled indifferently. Hearing this, Hu Jian¡¯s lips curled up. Lin Yan, who was passing by, saw this scene. He looked at Hu Jian, who was chatting and laughing with a boy, in disbelief. His heart ached. Didn¡¯t she say she was going to have dinner with her classmate? If it wasn¡¯t Yang Si, so be it, but why was it a man? Could it be that she had found someone she liked so quickly? Lin Yan looked at the boy opposite her. No one knew what Hu Jian had said, but the boy laughed. Hu Jian also laughed. Seeing this, Lin Yan was a little dejected. He had thought that the little girl would only belong to him, but he had not expected that there was too much difference between them, and there were too many impossibilities¡­ The two were chatting and from beginning to end, they did not look out the window, so naturally, they did not see Lin Yan¡¯s sorrowful look. He looked at them for a while, then turned around and left. His back was a little dejected. ¡°What do you think has changed about me?¡± Hu Jian asked with a smile. ¡°Everything has changed. Whether it was the fight in the factory yesterday, or your lack of any lingering feelings for Qiao Han, or your current expressionless face.¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw Hu Jian¡¯s smile disappear. Hu Jian didn¡¯t know how to answer. She couldn¡¯t tell the other party that Little Hu Jian was really dead, right? She was only possessed by someone with the same name. It would be strange if he didn¡¯t think she was crazy. ¡°Oh right, Wang Xin won¡¯t let you off just like that. You¡¯d better be careful. She¡¯s always petty.¡± Li Yang was a little worried when he thought of Wang Xin¡¯s behavior yesterday. ¡°Of course she can¡¯t do anything to me except scold me. So, she¡¯ll definitely make a move on you. Be careful these few days. Don¡¯t let her catch you, or why don¡¯t I send you home after school these few days..¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°No need. I can handle myself.¡± Hu Jian immediately rejected Li Yang¡¯s suggestion. She didn¡¯t want to owe him a favor. ¡°Alright. Be careful then.¡± Li Yang didn¡¯t say anything when he saw her reject so quickly. The dishes were served. The two of them hardly communicated during the meal. To be more precise, Hu Jian didn¡¯t have any thoughts. She only wanted to finish eating as soon as possible and go home early. Hu Jian was the first to finish the meal and stood up to pay the bill. Li Yang immediately spoke when he saw her actions. ¡°Let me get it.¡± As he said that, he prepared to pay the bill. ¡°I¡¯m the one that wants to thank you by treating you to a meal. How could I let you pay for it?¡± Hu Jian said these words without any emotion. When Li Yang saw this, he had nothing to say. Sometimes, this girl was quite direct, she could always make people choke and unable to speak. He could also see that she did not want to have too much interaction with him, so he spread his hands and followed her. After finishing and walking out of the restaurant, it was obvious that Hu Jian did not want to talk too much with Li Yang. This made Li Yang, who had originally planned to send her home, have no choice but to give up. When he saw her figure completely disappear from his sight, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Hu Jian, who was walking on the road, quickly reached home. Seeing that the lights were still lit in the room, she opened the door and entered without thinking too much. Once she entered the door, she could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the room was stiff. She looked at Lin Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, and said tentatively, ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± ¡°Where did you go?¡± his tone was not very good. It was not difficult to see that he had already restrained his emotions. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you I was going to have a meal with a classmate?¡± Hu Jian was a little confused. ¡°With which classmate? Yang Si?¡± Lin Yan continued to ask. ¡°With a classmate from F Class. He helped me yesterday,¡± Hu Jian looked at the somewhat strange Lin Yan and replied. ¡°Male classmate or female classmate?¡± ¡°Male.¡± ¡°Hu Jian, I have to tell you something. You are now in the third year of high school. It¡¯s best that you don¡¯t fall in love and instead focus on your studies. I heard from your class teacher today that you transferred to F Class because you dropped 200 places in the exam. You don¡¯t want to be unable to get into university, right?¡± When Lin Yan heard Hu Jian confess that she was having a meal with a man, his emotions were a little out of control, he kept blabbering on and on, trying to stop Hu Jian from having any thoughts of falling in love. ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m just thanking him for helping me yesterday. Otherwise, would I still be able to go to your place for medicine yesterday?¡± Hu Jian said angrily, she knew what Lin Yan was thinking about her, but she felt that it was ridiculous. ¡°I wonder what you¡¯re guessing at?!¡± Hu Jian really hated it when people guessed at her for no reason. Lin Yan looked at Hu Jian, whose face was still a little pale but eyes full of anger, and saw her looking at him expressionlessly. ¡°What happened yesterday?¡± Lin Yan only managed to squeeze out this sentence after a long while. Hu Jian still did not speak. If she told Lin Yan, then Lin Yan would definitely go back to Wang Li, then Wang Xin would know, and there would be no way to resolve this matter. ¡°Come here, take off your clothes and I¡¯ll apply some medicine on you.¡± Lin Yan saw that Hu Jian did not speak, and he knew that she was unwilling to speak, so he did not ask further. Hu Jian also took off her clothes and waited for Lin Yan to apply the medicine. She did not understand what Little Hu Jian was thinking. On one hand, she was very dependent on this foster father, and on the other hand, she liked Qiao Han. Then what kind of feelings did she have for her foster father? She clearly knew that it was not that kind of father-daughter relationship, but a man-woman relationship, but she still tacitly agreed to Lin Yan¡¯s behavior¡­ Hu Jian was still thinking when Lin Yan brought the medicine box in front of her. Lin Yan looked at her with a face full of pity. His eyes could not hide the tenderness and heartache in them. ¡°Just now, I was afraid that you would be deceived, so I spoke a little too harshly. Don¡¯t take it to heart. I just don¡¯t want you to joke about your future.¡± Lin Yan thought that Hu Jian was still angry, so he apologized first. ¡°I didn¡¯t even think about dating.¡± Hu Jian only said six words, but she could clearly sense the man in front of her let out a sigh of relief. He was already twenty-nine years old, yet he still didn¡¯t find a wife. Instead, he had that kind of inexplicable affection for Hu Jian. This made Hu Jian a little puzzled. With her body, she couldn¡¯t compare to a woman in her twenties, why did he choose Hu Jian? ¡°You do have the opportunity to choose your own life now, but I hope you take it well and don¡¯t do anything that you will regret, okay?¡± Lin Yan was still brooding over Hu Jian¡¯s words yesterday. He was afraid that she would be anxious to get rid of him and leave, so, he begged her to think carefully before making a decision. Right now, Hu Jian only wanted to find out what exactly happened during the explosion. As for studying, and what Lin Yan said about dating, she had no interest in it at all. It was just that she didn¡¯t want to return to A Class now. It seemed to be more challenging than in F Class, she really didn¡¯t want to talk to Qiao Han and Wang Xin. ¡°Got it.¡± Hu Jian replied to Lin Yan after a while. Lin Yan calmed down after hearing her answer. He began to seriously apply the medicine on her. His heart ached when he saw her covered in wounds. He blamed himself for not protecting her well, and he was afraid that someone else would appear beside her to protect her, just like that boy. After applying medicine, Lin Yan hugged Hu Jian. Hu Jian was about to break free for some reason, but she heard him say. ¡°Next time, tell me what happens. I don¡¯t want to be the last to know, and I don¡¯t want to see you get hurt like this again¡­.¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian instinctively wanted to break free, but when she heard Lin Yan say this, she stopped struggling. How should she put it? The original owner of the body did not reject his actions. On the contrary, she was very dependent on him. The irritable mood that she was feeling just now also inexplicably calmed down. ¡°Okay.¡± After a long time, Hu Jian finally said this word. No matter what, he was just worried about her. Seeing that she had agreed, he slowly let go of his hand and let her go wash up and rest. ¡­ Hu Jian had been very busy recently. Unlike other students, she was not busy with the next monthly exam. Instead, she had finally found a job. She had originally planned to work in a bar, but she did not expect they would not accept Hu Jian that looked like a little girl. After searching for a long time, she finally found a job in Bistro. She was working as a waitress. At the age of seventeen, she should not be in a bistro, but she had falsified her identity card. As for the matter of returning late, she had already thought of a reason to avoid Lin Yan. Ever since she had finished talking to him that day, Lin Yan¡¯s attitude had become more amiable. He was also more lax in controlling her, which saved her a lot of trouble. Hu Jian went to class during the day and worked at night. As usual, she used class time to sleep, and sitting at the same row as Li Yang at the back of F Class. Chen Yu was not annoyed when she saw this. She could only say that these two people¡¯s grades were too outstanding. No matter when they were called up to answer questions, they would always be able to answer them easily. Ever since Hu Jian left A Class, Yang Si had become Wang Xin¡¯s tool to vent her anger. ¡°Tell me, are you going to follow me? Or are you going to continue being bullied by me?¡± Wang Xin and her two lackeys forced Yang Si into the toilet of the old school building. ¡°What are you doing? This is a school.¡± Yang Si looked at Wang Xin in fear. She recalled what had happened at the abandoned factory that day. She only felt that the girl in front of her was like a lunatic. She was clearly so beautiful, but in the end, she had the heart of a snake. ¡°Didn¡¯t you experience it that day?¡± Wang Xin smiled and patted Yang Si¡¯s face. ¡°Of course you don¡¯t want me to release the video of that day, right? If I release it, then you¡¯ll be finished!¡± Wang Xin took out her phone and opened a video of that day. In the video, Yang Si was tied up. A few men took turns doing that to her, and she looked like she was already out of her mind. ¡°Look, all of this should have been experienced by Hu Jian, but in the end, you didn¡¯t take things seriously and even gave me up. I just gave you a small punishment.¡± Wang Xin also whispered into Yang Si¡¯s ear. Yang Si was so scared that she didn¡¯t dare to speak. That feeling was too terrible, she really didn¡¯t want to experience it a second time. ¡°What do you want me to do? Tell me what do you want me to do? I beg you not to send this out. I beg you, I will do whatever you say!¡± Yang Si held Wang Xin¡¯s hand and begged, she was afraid that the video would leak out. It wasn¡¯t just that the school wouldn¡¯t take her in. She couldn¡¯t stay in this entire area anymore! ¡°You¡¯re a sensible person. Follow me and do your job well. I guarantee that no one else will know about this matter. Do you understand?¡± Wang Xin smiled. Since Hu Jian wasn¡¯t willing to work for her, she would change to someone that she had something to hold against her. Seeing Yang Si nod crazily, Wang Xin and the other two laughed as if they had seen a monkey. Hu Jian happened to pass by the old school building and could not help but stop when she heard the laughter inside. The old school building was an abandoned building. There were usually no other people here except for construction workers. Occasionally, a few students who were dawdling would come here to smoke, but the laughter just now seemed to be a girl¡¯s voice. Hu Jian looked around and decided to go inside to check out the situation. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. Now that your good friend Hu Jian has gone to F Class, you¡¯ll have to put in a lot of effort to mess with her. As for you, just wait for my instructions.¡± Hu Jian had not even reached the end of the corridor on the second floor when she heard Wang Xin¡¯s voice. According to the analysis, Wang Xin and the others were bullying Yang Si. She was staying in one of the classrooms, listening to everything outside. ¡°I have to say that this medicine is quite fierce. Looking at how delirious you were that day, I¡¯m even more looking forward to what Hu Jian will look like after drinking it.¡± Wang Xin¡¯s voice came again. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Yang Si¡¯s voice was much softer than Wang Xin¡¯s, but there was no one in the old school building, so she could hear it clearly. ¡°Find a time to drug her again. If it doesn¡¯t work the next time, you, Yang Si, will be done for.¡± Wang Xin said fiercely and left the old school building with her two followers. Hu Jian was about to follow them out when Yang Si came out from the toilet. Fortunately, Hu Jian reacted quickly, or else Yang Si would have seen her. Yang Si looked at the backs of Wang Xin and the other two with hatred in her eyes, with tears in her eyes. Hu Jian looked at her from the dark, who seemed like she was also plotting something. ¡°Wang Xin, I will definitely get revenge for that day at the abandoned factory. I will also let you know what it feels like to be raped!¡± Hu Jian could not help but feel a little shocked when she heard Yang Si¡¯s words. A dark smile appeared on her lips. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then the two of you can have a fight amongst yourselves..¡± Chapter 20 - Followed Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Looking at Yang Si¡¯s departing figure, Hu Jian felt that this game was getting more and more interesting. The two girls were full of bad blood between each other, and it would be difficult for them to trouble her for now. The bell rang. Hu Jian stepped into the classroom a second before the teacher. Just as she was about to look out for the teacher through the back door, she noticed a girl. The girl who had been very interested in her since she came to F Class. Hu Jian had no impression of her at all. Li Yang, who was at the side, felt a little strange when he saw her staring straight at Cheng Weiyu. Did they know each other? ¡°Hey, Hu Jian, do you know Cheng Weiyu?¡± Li Yang felt very strange. The two of them should not have crossed paths. ¡°Huh? You said that the girl¡¯s name is Cheng Weiyu?¡± Hu Jian said. ¡°Yeah, I saw that you kept staring at her, I thought you knew her!¡± Li Yang shrugged. Hu Jian did not speak. She sometimes had felt that someone was staring at her, but she never found out who it was. Now it seemed that it was this Cheng Weiyu. Hu Jian did not have the memories of the original owner, so she naturally did not have any impression of this Cheng Weiyu. However, from the attention that Cheng Weiyu paid to her, it seemed that there was something going on between them? There were doubts, but she didn¡¯t think too much about it. She planned to go back and test Lin Yan to see if she could get anything out of him. Hu Jian spent the whole afternoon thinking about her own matters. She had been trying to clear her thoughts. She packed her things and left after class. Wang Xin and Qiao Han, who had left the classroom later than her, also saw her. Wang Xin thought that she was going home and didn¡¯t think too much. It wouldn¡¯t be good to chase her when she was returning home after school. Moreover, Qiao Han was by her side now, she didn¡¯t believe that she wouldn¡¯t have other times to deal with her at school! Qiao Han watched Hu Jian leave the school gate. He planned to have a good chat with her, so he walked toward her house on the small path. She leisurely walked all the way to the Bistro. ¡°Little Jian is here? Quickly change into your work clothes. We are getting ready to start work.¡± The person who received her was the lady boss of this Bistro. ¡°Okay, Sister Yu.¡± Hu Jian replied and walked to her locker in the changing room. After changing, she went out. The work in the bistro was exceptionally relaxing for her, it was not as noisy as a bar. This kind of slow life was occasionally very comfortable. Hu Jian, who was working, put her phone in the locker and locked it. She did not notice that the phone was ringing. On the other side, Qiao Han had been waiting outside her house. He called her many times. He looked at the house with no lights on, thought for a moment, and knocked on the door. ¡°Hu Jian, are you home? I have something to talk to you about, Hu Jian¡­¡± before Qiao Han could finish his words, he was interrupted by a man behind him. ¡°What are you doing at my house?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice was a little cold. ¡°I¡¯m looking for Hu Jian, and you are?¡± Qiao Han had never seen Lin Yan before. Seeing Lin Yan like this, he felt a little strange. Why was this man here? ¡°Why are you looking for Hu Jian?¡± Lin Yan didn¡¯t answer his question. ¡°Isn¡¯t she at home? If she¡¯s not at home, then I¡¯ll talk to her tomorrow.¡± After Qiao Han said that, he left without waiting for Lin Yan to say anything else. Lin Yan watched Qiao Han¡¯s back as he left. This wasn¡¯t the same person who had dinner with Hu Jian last time. Why was there another one? Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn¡¯t help but feel a little angry. Why were so many boys in contact with his Hu Jian? When Lin Yan returned home, he found that Hu Jian was indeed not at home, so he called her. Naturally, the other party didn¡¯t pick up. This time, he was not angry. He planned to wait for her to return home before talking to her about this matter. The work here was until one o¡¯clock before they were ready to go home. There was basically no one on the way out of the bistro. Sister Yu had originally planned to send her home, but she rejected the offer. Sister Yu did not insist on saying goodbye and drove away. After Hu Jian walked for a while, she realized that someone was following her. According to her judgment, the person was alone and seemed to be drunk. His footsteps were light. Hu Jian smiled. This time, was it sent by Yang Si or Wang Xin? These two women were really interesting. Every day, they would play a different trick. Hu Jian looked around and walked toward a remote alley without any surveillance cameras. The person behind her was overjoyed when they saw this. There would be no one else in a remote area without any surveillance cameras! He was still carefully following behind her. His mind, which was not very clear, was already starting to imagine various things. Just as he was imagining this, he came back to his senses and realized that Hu Jian was already gone. He began to search anxiously. Hu Jian came out from behind him and gave him a push. The man fell to the ground. Looking at the man¡¯s drunken appearance, she felt a little disgusted. ¡°How dare you come here when you¡¯re drunk?¡± She dragged the man¡¯s tie along the way and to an empty space. Then, she threw him out. Hu Jian looked coldly at the man who was lying on the ground with a wretched look on his face. She clenched her fists to loosen up her muscles and bones. She casually threw her bag to the side and began to punch and kick the man. She was someone who had practiced before. Naturally, she knew where to hit and where not to hit. She specialized in picking places that were easy to be injured but not easily seen.. Chapter 21 - Lin Yans Follow Up Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Bang.¡± ¡°Bang.¡± ¡­ A loud sound rang out in the quiet alley. It was the sound of someone being beaten. However, there was only Hu Jian and this man here. No one would know. By the time Hu Jian had vented most of the anger in her heart, the man could no longer even scream. He curled up into a ball, looking even more disgusting. Although she had just vented her anger with her fists, other than the man¡¯s clothes being a little messy, nothing could be seen. According to Hu Jian¡¯s estimation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave the hospital for at least three to four months. After calming down, Hu Jian picked up her bag on the ground, turned around, and left the alley, heading home. Only then did she take out her phone to check. She found out that Qiao Han had called her a few times, and so had Lin Yan. She glanced at the time. It was already past two o¡¯clock. This made Hu Jian speed up her pace. Finally, she trotted all the way home. In less than fifteen minutes, she was home. Once she entered the door, she still felt a familiar suffocation. Lin Yan sat on the sofa again, waiting for her. This time, he didn¡¯t even turn on the lights. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s tone was very unpleasant. When Hu Jian entered the door, she didn¡¯t say anything. She still had to wait for Lin Yan to speak. ¡°I¡¯m back,¡± Hu Jian replied. She changed her shoes and was about to go upstairs to her room when she heard Lin Yan say. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to explain to me?¡± ¡°Explain what?¡± ¡°Why are you back so late? Why was there a man waiting for you downstairs? You need to explain all of this one by one.¡± This time, Lin Yan was very different for some reason, even without turning on the lights, Hu Jian could still imagine his serious look. He would not stop until she answered clearly. ¡°I¡¯m already so old now, I have my own time. What kind of man is waiting for me? I don¡¯t know,¡± Hu Jian said after a moment of silence. ¡°You¡¯re only seventeen years old now. What do you mean by that?¡± Lin Yan said coldly. ¡°Please, I¡¯m going to be eighteen soon. Do you want to control me for the rest of my life?¡± Hu Jian did not like others to ask too much about her own matters. ¡°Since I¡¯ve already raised you for your father, then I¡¯ll control you for the rest of my life.¡± Lin Yan was exceptionally firm when he said this. ¡°Up to you. I still have to go to class tomorrow, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Hu Jian didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore. When she thought about how he still had that kind of idea, she felt that there was no need to talk at all. ¡°You should change your dressing.¡± Lin Yan waited for Hu Jian to walk to the door of her room and said. ¡°I can change it myself. Rest early.¡± After saying that, Hu Jian went straight into her room. This time, she did not forget to lock the door. She was really afraid that he would come in and kiss her again after she fell asleep. She only fell asleep at 2:30 am at night, and she had to get up before 7 am to go to school. She had less than five hours of sleep. Coupled with Lin Yan¡¯s inexplicable temper yesterday, Hu Jian kept dreaming about the past. When the alarm clock rang in the morning, her entire head was in a daze. Because Hu Jian was used to waking up at this time, she couldn¡¯t sleep anymore. She went to the bathroom to wash up. Looking at her haggard self in the mirror, she was a little depressed. If she didn¡¯t sleep for a while in class today, she might just collapse suddenly. Just as Hu Jian was thinking about something, Lin Yan also came out of the room. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your eyes? Why are they red?¡± Lin Yan asked her, whose eyes were bloodshot. He couldn¡¯t understand this girl that he had raised for so long. This very complicated girl with many secrets. This girl had changed so much overnight, but even so, he couldn¡¯t help but want to get close to her. Hu Jian shook her head and quickly washed up before going downstairs to school. She didn¡¯t say anything to Lin Yan. She had just arrived at the school and saw Qiao Han. He didn¡¯t know why Hu Jian, whom he had waited for for so long yesterday, looked at him with a resentful expression, as if he was sick. Hu Jian gave him a look of disdain and left. Qiao Han was about to chase after her, but when he thought about it again. When she had been so obedient and liked him so much, he had also treated her like this. Thinking of this, Qiao Han didn¡¯t chase after her, instead, he returned to the classroom. F Class was an exclusive class, because the people in it were basically people who had known each other for a year or two. They didn¡¯t like outsiders joining, but due to Li Yang¡¯s attitude, Hu Jian was received with much more moderation. Most people were ashamed of F Class. They looked down on the students of F Class, thinking that they were ignorant and useless. Most of them felt a little inferior in their hearts. But Hu Jian was different. It was as if she wasn¡¯t affected by F Class. Cheng Weiyu had heard a lot about Hu Jian¡¯s ¡°Heroic deeds¡± before. For example, how she was weak and bullied by others. Or, as everyone knew, she wanted to have sex with men whenever she saw them. However, after Hu Jian really came to F Class these few days, she found that Hu Jian was not like what they said. She was cold and arrogant, like a queen who was high up in the world, with an inviolable aura, she did not look like a coward or a nymphomaniac at all. She did not know where the title of Fangirl Jian came from? Hu Jian felt that the relationship in F Class was very harmonious. Compared to the top-ranked A Class, it was much better. They could do whatever they wanted here. Even the class teacher, Chen Yu, was very good to them. She was also much better than Wang Li. ¡°Students!¡± Chen Yu slapped the table on the podium and tried her best to raise her voice so that the students could hear her. However, the crowd below the stage was still noisy. No one listened to Chen Yu¡¯s words. Even Hu Jian was so focused on her own matters that she did not notice her at all. Chen Yu was not angry at all. She was just going to finish her sentence by herself. ¡°Students, this year¡¯s Olympiad math competition will be held in our city. The school competition will be held first. Five people from the school will be chosen to represent the school in this competition. Students who have confidence can come to me to get the registration form. The deadline is before Thursday.¡± Hu Jian vaguely heard about the competition, which made her immediately give up. She was not interested in any of this. Li Yang, who was next to her, had a change in expression on his face. He was the first place winner in the Olympiad math competition last time.. Chapter 22 - Preparing to Participate In The Olympiad Math Competition Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian naturally did not know that this competition, which was ignored by F Class, had attracted the attention of all the other students in the school, causing a wave of excitement among them. As long as you participated in this Olympiad math competition, if you obtained a ranking, what college entrance examination would you have to take? Most of the famous schools would throw an olive branch to you one after another. They would firmly grasp such an opportunity and strive to not let themselves regret it. Hu Jian walked out of the classroom and was about to head to the rooftop when Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. ¡°Oh, I was wondering who it was, so it was a famous person from A Class!¡± Wang Xin¡¯s harsh voice rang in Hu Jian¡¯s ear again. ¡°There has never been a person with such results in A Class!¡± This time, she did not know how Wang Xin¡¯s follower dared to mock her. When Wang Xin heard her lackey say this about Hu Jian, she felt extremely comfortable. It was as if only by insulting her time and again would she feel better. Her lackey said, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and hand in the registration form. The teacher said that you would definitely win this time!¡± Looking at the girl¡¯s lackey manner, Hu Jian couldn¡¯t help but laugh as if she had seen a monkey. Looking at the girl in front of her staring at her from the corner of her eye as she walked, it was really funny. Hu Jian naturally looked down on this kind of underhanded provocation. Just like that, she watched the two of them leave her sights. Just as she was about to continue walking towards the rooftop, she suddenly remembered that if she wanted to torture Wang Xin, she did not need to do anything. As long as she was better than her in everything, she would be so angry that she would die. When she thought of Wang Xin¡¯s exasperated look, Hu Jian felt that it was funny. The best way to show off to Wang Xin was through this Olympiad math competition. Thinking of this, she planned to go to the office and ask Chen Yu for the registration form. From Chen Yu¡¯s stunned expression, Hu Jian took a few registration forms and looked at the registration form in her hand. Hu Jian couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Why are you interested in this too?¡± Li Yang returned to the classroom and saw the stack of registration forms on Hu Jian¡¯s desk. He was silent for a long time before he spoke. Hu Jian didn¡¯t say anything but just smiled. She seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing this, Li Yang didn¡¯t ask any more questions and went to work on his registration form. Cheng Weiyu raised her head from the desk. There was also a registration form in her drawer. When she looked at Li Yang and Hu Jian, she smiled. Things had become interesting now, hadn¡¯t they? The other people in the class also surrounded them. They naturally didn¡¯t dare to disturb Li Yang and Hu Jian. They stretched their necks to look at the things on their desks. They couldn¡¯t help but be shocked when they found that it was the Olympiad registration form. ¡°F*ck, I can understand why Li Yang would participate, he was the first place last time. Why would Hu Jian participate?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She did not come to our class voluntarily like Li Yang did.¡± ¡°Please, she was the one who chased after a man and dropped more than 200 places to come to our class.¡± ¡°She has so much courage to participate in this. Just A Class alone has quite a number of people participating, right?¡± The people from F Class were all talking about this. In a short while, they were discussing who would be participating in the Olympiad this time. ¡°Do Wang Xin and Qiao Han from Class A still need to be mentioned? A campus beauty and a princely man. Their studies are so good, it really doesn¡¯t make sense for them not to participate this year.¡± ¡°Yeah, Qiao Han was second last time, just one point behind Li Yang.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just take a look. It has nothing to do with us.¡± ¡­ ¡°Then you have to work hard, Hu Jian. If you do well this time, you can go back to A Class!¡± No one knew who started it, but the class started to talk about it, asking her to work hard. She thought that they would mock her, but didn¡¯t expect that they only thought that she had courage and were even encouraging her. Looking at the sincere smiles on their faces, Hu Jian felt a part of her heart begin to relax. ¡°Yeah, then work hard! Try to win this competition,¡± Li Yang said with a smile. The competition hadn¡¯t even started yet, but he had already received the support of so many people in the class. This was also something that Hu Jian didn¡¯t expect. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll surprise you.¡± Hu Jian was not just saying that. She could have won this competition by herself. Not to mention Li Yang, no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to get full marks. Cheng Weiyu had been looking at Hu Jian through the crowd from the beginning to the end. Even if Hu Jian saw her, she did not avert her gaze this time. Instead, she smiled openly at her. This made Hu Jian, who was still suspicious of her, to lower her guard a little. Cheng Weiyu did not seem to have any malicious intent. She just kept looking at her. ¡°By the way, do you know this Cheng Weiyu?¡± Hu Jian asked Li Yang during class. ¡°Not really. She used to be in B Class. She seems to have regressed like you and hasn¡¯t returned from F Class ever since,¡± Li Yang continued, ¡°When I came here, she was like an invisible person. She didn¡¯t speak, didn¡¯t study, and had no sense of presence at all..¡± Chapter 23 - First Meeting With Qin Heng Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Okay, thanks.¡± Hu Jian had a general understanding after listening to Li Yang¡¯s description. It seemed that this person had not been recorded in the diary of Little Hu Jian. In this way, she did not look like a scheming person like Wang Xin and Yang Si. Therefore, Hu Jian did not think too much about it. Yesterday, Sister Yu did not send Hu Jian home, and so she hurriedly asked for a long time and thought that something had happened to her. Therefore, after school today, Hu Jian went to the bistro early. ¡°Little Jian, did anything happen yesterday?¡± Sister Yu was very worried about Hu Jian. ¡°No, my dad came to pick me up. I¡¯ve made you worry,¡± Hu Jian said embarrassedly. ¡°Not at all. As long as you are fine, go do your work!¡± Sister Yu saw that Hu Jian was fine, so she turned around and went to do her own work. Hu Jian was taking a cup at the bar counter. When she looked up, she saw a man enter the door. When she saw the man¡¯s face, Hu Jian couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes. The man in front of her was the partner that the gang leader wanted to work with previously ¡ª Qin Heng. Whenever Hu Jian approached Qin Heng, she could completely feel that there was a hint of blood in the air. This smell was very sensitive to her. She sized up Qin Heng secretly. He was injured. It was not difficult to see he was hiding. ¡°Sir, you don¡¯t look too well. Do you need to rest?¡± Hu Jian asked. Only then did Qin Heng look up at the young girl in front of him. ¡°Please find me an empty room to rest.¡± As he spoke, he did not forget to look at the door. Clearly, Hu Jian was right. He was being hunted. She quickly found a room and brought him in. To be on the safe side, she hung a repair sign at the door of the room. As soon as she came out of the room, a few burly men came to the door. Sister Yu hurried to welcome them. ¡°What can I get for you gentlemen?¡± The men didn¡¯t answer her. Instead, they began to inspect the customers in the shop. This series of events made Hu Jian even more certain that these people were here to look for Qin Heng. ¡°Did a man in a black suit come in just now?¡± The man asked out of the blue. Sister Yu naturally didn¡¯t notice Qin Heng just now, so she answered that she didn¡¯t see him. ¡°Little Jian, did you receive a man in a black suit just now?¡± Sister Yu turned to ask Hu Jian. ¡°No, Sister Yu, there aren¡¯t many people in the shop. Did something happen?¡± Hu Jian stuck her head out from the stairs when she heard Sister Yu calling. ¡°What¡¯s upstairs?¡± The man asked. ¡°Sir, upstairs is our guest room. It provides guests with a short break,¡± Sister Yu answered. ¡°If there¡¯s no one, why is she upstairs?¡± The man obviously didn¡¯t believe Hu Jian¡¯s words. He clearly saw Qin Heng running this way. ¡°We have a room upstairs that¡¯s under maintenance. She¡¯s a university student here, so she only works here at night. So I¡¯ll ask her to check if the room is functional,¡± Sister Yu answered so smoothly that the man couldn¡¯t find any faults with her. However, the man did not believe her. He prepared to go upstairs to take a look, but the others were left on the first floor. Hu Jian knew that she could not play hardball with them at this time, so she brought him upstairs. ¡°Take a look.¡± After saying that, Hu Jian followed behind the man. She was certain that the man would not enter the door. The man stopped at the door of Qin Heng¡¯s room. He looked at the paper that was about to fall off, then looked at Hu Jian¡¯s face. He turned around and went downstairs. He thought that she was just a university student, so she probably didn¡¯t know Qin Heng. Usually, girls wouldn¡¯t help someone they didn¡¯t know. Moreover, Qin Heng was covered in blood. If she saw him, the girl in front of him would probably be scared out of her wits, instead of being so calm. Hu Jian also guessed the man¡¯s thoughts, so she was sure that the man wouldn¡¯t open the door to find Qin Heng. She would just move him to another place later. When it was almost midnight, Hu Jian blocked all the surveillance cameras as usual. Looking at the unconscious Qin Heng in the room, she brought him to a very shabby little house. According to her memories, this was something that Little Hu Jian had accidentally discovered previously. She had read about this in her diary the last time, and now it would come in handy. There would not be many people here either. After briefly bandaging Qin Heng, she headed home. This time, if it was even later, Lin Yan would have a lot to say. At the thought of this, Hu Jian couldn¡¯t help but run. As for Qin Heng, she would come and ask him tomorrow when he woke up. Hu Jian thought that she didn¡¯t have to go to the bistro tomorrow. She had more important things to do, so she planned to ask for leave tomorrow. After returning home, Hu Jian returned to her room after a few words with Lin Yan as usual. Lin Yan didn¡¯t mind too much. At least now, she still belonged to him. If he pressed too hard, she would be disgusted, so he decided to take it slow, give himself time and give her time. Hu Jian naturally didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. After showering, she went to bed. She was thinking about Qin Heng, so she fell asleep in no time. The next morning, Hu Jian got up as soon as the alarm went off. After washing up, she was ready to go out when Lin Yan hugged her at the door. ¡°You have to study hard today too!¡± After saying that, he let go and urged her to hurry to school and pay attention to her safety. Hu Jian¡¯s small face instantly blushed a little. However, seeing that he did not show any overly extreme behavior, such as kissing or anything ambiguous, she just let him be. After leaving the house, she patted her face and went to school. Hu Jian fell asleep in just a few minutes after arriving at the classroom. She would go to see Qin Heng once she woke up. She really needed a good rest now. When Li Yang arrived at the classroom, he saw Hu Jian who had already fallen asleep. ¡°Don¡¯t you sleep at night? Why are you so tired?¡± Li Yang put down his school bag and went to sleep on the table. The students of F Class saw this scene and their mouths twitched. Aren¡¯t you two the same? The two of them slept until noon. Hu Jian woke up first. After she woke up, she didn¡¯t attend the later classes and left the classroom. Now, it was time to find Qin Heng and ask him some questions. Li Yang woke up when he heard the noise. He looked at Hu Jian¡¯s back as she left. He thought he was arrogant enough. It wasn¡¯t until he got to know Hu Jian that he realized that he was nothing.. Chapter 24 - Testing Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Qin Heng woke up, he found that he was not dead, nor had he fallen into the hands of those people. In a completely unfamiliar environment, this place was pitifully small. There was nothing but a bed. He turned his head and saw some water and food on the ground, and some medicine scattered beside them. It was obvious that this was left behind by someone else. Who was the one who saved him? When Hu Jian came in with the packed food, she saw that he had already woken up, and seemed to be lost in thought. Hu Jian knew a thing or two about Qin Heng. Because he was young and promising, the gang leader wanted to work with him. However, he was in a trance now. He didn¡¯t look as high-spirited as the last time she saw him, and she couldn¡¯t find the confidence he had before. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Hu Jian handed the things in her hand to Qin Heng and sat cross-legged on the ground under his stunned expression. Qin Heng took the boxes and looked at Hu Jian. He remembered that she was the waitress of the bistro. Before he fainted, she had brought him to the room upstairs. ¡°Eat your food first. Because someone is looking for you, you can¡¯t go to the hospital. You can only rely on these medicines to survive. If you have anything to say, say it after you¡¯ve eaten your food and taken medicine. Before that, I¡¯m very pleased to meet you, Qin Heng.¡± This time, Qin Heng was completely shocked. If before he was just shocked that this girl had saved him, then he is on guard now. No matter how he looked at it, she was just a young child in her teens. How could she say such sophisticated words, moreover, he didn¡¯t know her. How could she know his name? ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. Saving you was indeed an accident. I¡¯m not someone who was sent here. Is it very surprising to know your name? Qin Heng, who¡¯s already famous before the age of 30, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know that you¡¯ve been on TV before?¡± Hu Jian looked at him with amusement. Qin Heng also relaxed a little when he heard this. He looked at the lunchbox in his hand and started to eat. He had been hungry for a long time and had not eaten anything since yesterday. ¡°Thank you.¡± After he said that, he started to eat without caring about his image. Hu Jian, who was opposite him, did not care at all. She casually took out the arcane mathematics data in her bag and began to read it. Only after he finished eating did he realize that he had been very unrefined just now. He looked at Hu Jian embarrassedly. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Hu Jian closed the data and said lightly. Although Qin Heng had a glib tongue when it came to business, he was now facing a child who was still studying. This made Qin Heng, who was always eloquent, not know how to speak. After a moment of silence, he still decided to break the awkwardness. ¡°Well, thank you for saving me, but I can¡¯t give you any trouble, so I can¡¯t stay here.¡± ¡°They won¡¯t be able to find this place. No one knows except me,¡± Hu Jian said nonchalantly. When she brought him here, no one had seen them, let alone found out about it. She was very confident about this. ¡°You¡¯re still young. You don¡¯t understand. It¡¯s not as simple as you think.¡± Qin Heng treated her words as a child¡¯s joke and didn¡¯t care at all. When he said this, he felt a little helpless. Hu Jian saw that he was too lazy to say anything. She wasn¡¯t a person who liked to waste her energy. ¡°Can I ask you about something?¡± Hu Jian asked faintly. ¡°What is it?¡± This made Qin Heng somewhat curious. He still wanted to know what she wanted to ask. ¡°How is Scarlet Flame now?¡± Finally, she asked this question. Ever since she was reborn, she had always wanted to know if the gang leader was still alive? This question made Qin Heng very curious about her. Of course, he knew about this gang, but he did not understand why this little girl in front of him knew about this. ¡°Queen¡±, a cold and beautiful woman. Other than her hot figure and eye-catching eyebrows, her strength was not to be underestimated. The killer ¡°Queen¡±, who was feared by people on the street, he had once crossed paths with this woman. She was the one who persuaded him to cooperate with Scarlet Flame, but he refused. Not long ago, Scarlet Flame was ambushed. Not only was the gang leader injured, but that arrogant woman died in the ruins in order to protect the gang leader. Qin Heng recalled the woman called Queen and told her everything he knew about the Scarlet Flame gang leader. Although he was very curious why this fair and clean little girl in front of him would be interested in such underworld matters, on account of her saving him, he told her everything he knew. ¡°Are you saying that the Scarlet Flame gang leader is injured? Is it serious?¡± Chapter 25 - I Like It Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The momentary anxiety on Hu Jian¡¯s face made Qin Heng a little surprised. He first answered Hu Jian¡¯s question, then hesitantly asked her the reason, ¡°The rumors are quite serious. They say that they¡¯ve been arranged to be in a private sanatorium. But¡­ you¡¯re asking this because you¡¯re a fan of Scarlet Flame¡­?¡± Hu Jian paused for a moment and quickly nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a die-hard fan of Scarlet Flame.¡± Although she said that, she was not just a die-hard fan. In the 20 years of her previous life, she had nothing else besides Dragon Gate and Red Flame. Qin Heng was silent for a moment. He subconsciously touched the beautifully bandaged wound on his body and then looked at Hu Jian. Hu Jian looked at him fearlessly. Her eyes were pure. Qin Heng was momentarily moved by the pair of eyes, so he did not continue to ask. He silently ate the lunchbox that Hu Jian brought over. When he was almost done eating, the bell for 10 o¡¯clock rang. Hu Jian wanted to tell Qin Heng more about Scarlet Flame, but Qin Heng insisted on leaving. Before he left, Qin Heng gave Hu Jian a handwritten address. He told her that if she ran into any trouble because of saving him, she could look for him at this place. Hu Jian took the note and nodded heavily. She knew that he was expressing his gratitude and solving the problems that could potentially follow. But for her, regardless of whether there was trouble or not, she would definitely look for Qin Heng to get close to Scarlet Flame. After Qin Heng left, Hu Jian turned on the computer and casually searched. There was not even a similar link, let alone a keyword entry. She frowned and looked at the string of mysterious numbers on the paper. It felt familiar, but at that moment, she could not figure it out. After thinking for a long time, she still could not think of an answer. Hu Jian put away the note and restored the cottage to its original appearance. After doing all this, she carefully erased any traces of their presence before returning to school. At that time, the school had already started afternoon physical education classes. When Li Yang saw her, he asked her where she had gone in the morning. Hu Jian glanced at him and asked calmly, ¡°Why are you so busybody?¡± Li Yang smiled, and his eyes shone brightly under the sunlight. He flung his sweaty hair and said, ¡°Actually I¡¯m not. It¡¯s just that when you skipped class, someone came to look for you.¡± Hu Jian said, ¡°Oh.¡± Li Yang raised his eyebrows. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask who it was?¡± Hu Jian said, ¡°Is there a need for that? If they can¡¯t find me, they¡¯ll come back eventually, right?¡± Li Yang clicked his tongue and praised, ¡°Who exactly said that you only have men in your mind?¡± Hu Jian ignored his nonsense and ran two laps of 800 meters with the students from class Seven. After completing the fitness task, she returned to the classroom. When she left, Li Yang was still running, jumping, and playing basketball on the field. His basketball skills were very good, but it was a pity that the person he wanted to impress was not present. ¡­ Before the second class in the afternoon, Chen Yu came to look for her again. Hu Jian was somewhat surprised when she had to follow Chen Yu to the office. She originally thought that Yang Si or Wang Xin was looking for trouble again. She did not expect that the new teacher-in-charge to be looking for her. She was led to Chen Yu¡¯s desk. Chen Yu let her sit in her seat with a solemn expression. Hu Jian looked at her in confusion. ¡°Although you have been demoted from Class A to Class F, I have always believed that you are a good student. You don¡¯t listen much in class, but your train of thought for solving problems is very clear. I can tell that you are a smart child. If you work hard in this Math Olympiad Competition, it¡¯s possible for you to get a ranking. I¡¯ve asked. If you get a good ranking, you can go back to Class A¡­¡± Chen Yu paused, tears welling up in her eyes. She raised her head and sniffled, ¡°Our school doesn¡¯t think well of Class F. from an objective point of view, if you return to Class A, you¡¯ll definitely be able to improve further. Of course, I just don¡¯t want your talents to go to waste here¡­ Some people stay because they want to stay. If you are willing, Class F will always welcome you.¡± So it was because of this matter. Hu Jian sighed slightly in her heart. Being such an emotional person, she was bound to worry about the students in Class Seven. However, Chen Yu¡¯s way of thinking for the students really touched Hu Jian. Moreover, it was impossible for her to return to Class A, hence she decisively raised her head to look at Chen Yu. She said resolutely, ¡°Teacher, I like Class F..¡± Chapter 26 - Lighting a Fire Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chen Yu was stunned for a moment as she did not expect her to answer in this way. There were a lot of uneducated and incompetent profligate children in Class F. Apart from not knowing how to study, they were proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. Although Chen Yu was a teacher, sometimes she could not help but feel that it was unfair when comparing those students to those with difficulties. It was likely that Hu Jian did not come from a good family background as she was usually seen alone. Therefore, Chen Yu could not help but feel a little heartache for her when outside of class. Hearing her say that, Chen Yu¡¯s heart was filled with both joy and sorrow. In order not to lose her composure in front of Hu Jian, she turned her head and discreetly wiped her tears, then, she broke into a smile and said, ¡°From today onwards, there is still a whole month and a half before the competition. Only you, Li Yang, and Cheng Weiyu in our class have signed up. I have already communicated with the two of them. The three of you will temporarily form a competition group to represent our class in the competition! Try your best in the competition! It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t win the championship. It¡¯s time for Class Seven to stand up for once!¡± Hu Jian had never expected that Chen Yu to entrust such a heavy responsibility to her just because she expressed her liking for Class F. Anyway, this was something she needed to do, so Hu Jian nodded her head subtly. As for the group, she felt that it was unnecessary. Li Yang was the previous champion. Although she did not know much about Cheng Weiyu, the girl did not seem to be stupid. This way, winning the championship was already a piece of cake for them. Hu Jian¡¯s expressionless face, in Chen Yu¡¯s eyes, was a face of confidence. She patted Hu Jian¡¯s shoulder happily and smiled till her eyes curved into crescent moons. ¡­ Since they were going to form a group, Hu Jian went to greet the other two after school. Cheng Weiyu shyly shook Hu Jian¡¯s hand. ¡°¡­¡± It was so strange. Li Yang also pretended to come to shake hands but was glared back by Hu Jian. ¡°I¡¯m usually not free after school. If you have any questions, ask me in school.¡± Hu Jian said concisely. Li Yang was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and asked Cheng Weiyu, ¡°Do you have any questions?¡± Cheng Weiyu shook her head slightly. Hu Jian: ¡°¡­¡± That was why she said that there was no need to set up this group at all. The three of them looked at each other in unison and fell silent for a moment. In the end, Hu Jian broke the awkward silence and said, ¡°That¡¯s all for now. See the both of you tomorrow.¡± Cheng Weiyu said obediently, ¡°See you tomorrow.¡± ¡­ It was already 9:30 pm when she returned home from the Bistro. Thanks to Sister Yu¡¯s swift and decisive personality, Hu Jian was able to keep up with the neighborhood¡¯s ten o¡¯clock curfew every time. As long as she arrived home before ten o¡¯clock, Lin Yan would not interfere. That was because he would not have returned from his shift at the hospital. Today seemed to be an exception. Hu Jian looked at the haggard-looking man who was resting with his eyes closed on the living room sofa. For a moment, she was in a daze. Lin Yan did not say anything, so Hu Jian wanted to go past him to take a shower and sleep. She had consumed too much energy recently, and she needed to rest properly. Just as she was about to go around the sofa, Lin Yan said, ¡°Do you usually come back at this time? Purposely before I get back?¡± Hu Jian: ¡°¡­¡± His fatigue was completely revealed through his hoarse voice. Hu Jian took a deep breath and said calmly, ¡°Yes.¡± The pressure around Lin Yan lowered a little. ¡°I heard from your school teacher that you still want to stay in Class F? Why? Is it because of the boy from the same class that you had dinner with last time?¡± Lin Yan continued to ask. Hu Jian originally did not know how to deal with the relationship between Little Hu Jian and him. Since he could no longer suppress his anger, Hu Jian simply cut to the chase and admitted straightforwardly, ¡°Yes.¡± Hearing this affirmative answer, the man¡¯s eyes suddenly opened. He sat up and looked straight at Hu Jian. The anxiety between his brows almost broke through the limit of his true age, making him become an impulsive young boy again. ¡°What did you promise me a few days ago? You said that you are still studying and you won¡¯t let these feelings affect your future!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s tone was somewhat reprimanding. Hu Jian instinctively frowned when she heard it. In those years, other than Red Flame, no one dared to speak to her in such a manner. Looking at the veins on the man¡¯s forehead that had popped up due to agitation, Hu Jian was indifferent. She continued to say coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡± If she wanted to reject, she had to reject thoroughly. She did not want this matter to have a continuous and uncertain impact on her. She planned to continue adding fuel to the fire until his tolerance was burned into ashes, completely destroying his thoughts.. Chapter 27 - An Unwise Move Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I now feel that people should enjoy themselves while they can. As long as they can answer to themselves.¡± Hu Jian said calmly. ¡°Enjoy themselves while they can? As long as they can answer to themselves? Heh. Xiao Jian! You better know what you¡¯re talking about!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, giving off a sense of danger. If she wanted to enjoy herself while she could, how could he have endured until now? Lin Yan raised his eyes to look at her. The rage in him was getting stronger and stronger. Hu Jian vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the words had already left her mouth. Other than being more determined, there was no other way. ¡°I know very well what I¡¯m saying. I want to stay in Class F for him.¡± After those words left her mouth without hesitation, the both of them were stunned. Lin Yan did not expect that she would really make such a choice. Hu Jian¡¯s heart was aching because of this. Harsh words hurt people. However, this time she did not say anything harsh at all. Hu Jian could not understand her body¡¯s instincts, so she blamed them all on Little Hu Jian¡¯s feelings. She thought that she had no feelings for him. So when Lin Yan rushed over and grabbed her wrist, she was still able to calmly use her strength to break free time and time again. Unfortunately, she was not as strong as Lin Yan¡¯s. In addition, she was still injured and had yet to recover. After breaking free a few times, she had no strength left and could only be controlled by him. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to enjoy yourself? I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Lin Yan¡¯s remaining bit of rationality was buried with Hu Jian¡¯s answer. He squeezed his legs between Hu Jian¡¯s legs and held Hu Jian¡¯s wrists against the headboard of the bed. He did not do anything else but gently blow on Hu Jian¡¯s ear. Hu Jian felt half of her body go numb. ¡­ Would she fall here? Was Little Hu Jian¡¯s body a little too sensitive? When Lin Yan¡¯s hand moved from her calf all the way to her thighs and touched her inner thigh, Hu Jian felt her scalp tingle. She curled her body, trying to avoid his touch. However, she was firmly pressed down by his body. He pinched her chin with his hand and kissed her gently. He licked her from her eyebrows to her collarbone. Lin Yan kissed her fiercely, he said ambiguously, ¡°When you were sixteen, your heart was full of me. Now that you¡¯re eighteen, what else can you do besides anger me? I used to be afraid that you would be insensible and regret it when you grew up, but now I regret it. No matter how much you like him, now, forget about it.¡± After Lin Yan said that, he used his hand to lower her chin and kissed her without resistance. Hu Jian was dumbfounded. Is that how he makes use of his medical knowledge? However, her body did not resist at all¡­ On the contrary, her body enjoyed it very much. Under Lin Yan¡¯s sometimes strong and gentle touches, Hu Jian did not even realize when her mouth was closed. A hot breath gushed out on Hu Jian¡¯s face, and she turned red. Tears blurred her eyes, and the end of her red eyes was full of joy. Hu Jian subconsciously felt that this was not right, but she did not know how to make him stop. When he untied her waist buckle and wanted to take a step further, Hu Jian jolted awake. She shouted, ¡°Lin Yan!¡± The man¡¯s movements paused. He lowered his head to look at her expression. He saw that her eyes were red, and she stared at him with some grievance. His hands stiffened a little, but the possessiveness in his eyes grew stronger. He only paused for a second, and still wanted to undo her waist buckle. Hu Jian called out again. This time, her voice was cold, and her eyes were also cold. This coldness seemed to have frozen Lin Yan¡¯s soul. He was startled and lowered his eyes to look at his own unfulfilled desire. He did not say anything for a long time. Hu Jian pushed him away and got up. She went to the living room and poured herself a glass of water to calm herself down. She really did not expect this man to be so¡­ crazy when he was out of control. In Little Hu Jian¡¯s impression, he had always been very restrained. He restrained himself to the point where Little Hu Jian would take the initiative to seduce him but he would pat her on the back to coax her to sleep. After Little Hu Jian fell asleep, he would go to the toilet to resolve it unwillingly. ¡­ Wait, why did she not remember this memory before? Hu Jian¡¯s expression immediately became complicated. If that was the case, then her actions today were equivalent to walking into a trap! Just as Hu Jian was deeply reflecting on herself, a series of low panting sounds came from the bedroom and successfully interrupted her train of thought. Hu Jian took two steps forward and happened to meet Lin Yan¡¯s deep eyes. She felt her face and body start to heat up again and fled back to her room.. Chapter 28 - Challenge Initiated Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian locked herself in her room. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Then she set an alarm for 5 am and planned to go out early tomorrow. She did not want to meet him for the time being. Since it was not effective to face him directly, she should calm down first. Hu Jian took a quick shower and lay in bed, forcing herself to sleep. The next morning, the alarm rang. Hu Jian sat up abruptly. She quickly put on her clothes and was prepared to head to school. To her surprise, breakfast had already been placed on the dining table in the living room. There was even milk that was warmed just right. Hu Jian took a look and realized that it was all her favorite food. However, she did not want to accept his apology now, regardless of whether it was out of habit or on purpose. Hu Jian walked out of the door without looking back. When she reached the entrance of the neighborhood, she realized that the car that Lin Yan often drove was no longer in its position. Looks like he had something to do and had left earlier. Hu Jian heaved a sigh of relief. After arriving at the classroom, Hu Jian started to catch up on her beauty sleep again. ¡­ Two hours later. ¡°Why is she still sleeping? Why didn¡¯t she discuss it with us before agreeing to such a big matter?¡± ¡°She has been sleeping for a few days straight. Can she represent Class Seven this way? Math Olympiad is different from the usual questions. It would be so embarrassing if she don¡¯t manage to even get a position in the competition.¡± ¡°To think that I was cheering for her two days ago. Looking at her, she doesn¡¯t seem to care at all.¡± ¡°So what if she has Li Yang? Our Math Olympiad Competition is a group competition. The group competition focuses on the incorporation of ideas to solve problems. A strong teammate is naturally much stronger than a weak one.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Why are you guys always trying to boost the morale of others but destroy your own? They are only issuing a challenge. You¡¯re implying that she agrees to it but despises her ability. You¡¯re making it sound like if she doesn¡¯t agree, Class Seven will be able to have some dignity.¡± ¡°If you can do it, then go ahead.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°¡­¡± It was so noisy. Hu Jian rubbed her numb arm and slowly sat up. She opened her eyes and her pupils constricted. The people from Class Seven were surrounding her and staring at her. Hu Jian was stunned for a moment and did not know what was going on. Li Yang sat at the highest desk and waved at Hu Jian. Hu Jian looked at him with a puzzled look. Li Yang pointed at her phone. Hu Jian looked down and saw that Lin Yan had sent her a message: I am going on a work trip. Take care of yourself. I will be back the day after tomorrow. Hu Jian typed an ¡°mm¡± in the input box but deleted it in the end. She looked at the conversation between Lin Yan and Little Hu Jian. Usually, Little Hu Jian spoke a little more. Her messages were like diary entries, sending a few messages in a row. Hu Jian was engrossed in her research. Seeing that she was ignoring his messages, Li Yang immediately gave her a call. The sudden ringtone in the quiet classroom sounded a little strange. Hu Jian reacted for a while before getting used to them. She did not answer Li Yang¡¯s call either. Instead, she directly clicked on the link that Li Yang sent her. What she saw was a row of eye-catching headlines: ¡°Nymphomaniac girl has been issued a Math Olympiad Challenge letter. The war between classes is about to start!¡± Hu Jian clicked on it in confusion. She scrolled through it and realized why they were all standing in front of her. It turned out that Wang Xin went to the office to hand in the application form. However, she accidentally bumped into Teacher Chen Yu¡¯s desk and scattered the application forms for the Math Olympiad Competition on the ground. While picking them up, Wang Xin realized that Hu Jian was among them. Her expression changed on the spot. How could she allow someone to go against her? So she quickly crumpled up the application form and threw it into the trash can. Who would have thought that Chen Yu had already entered that list into the registration system? Since she was unable to disrupt the application, her sidekick gave her an idea and told her to do things openly. Anyway, she did not expect that the ¡°Little Prince of Math Olympiad¡± Li Yang would be able to teach both of them in a short period of time. Hence, Wang Xin got someone to initiate this challenge. Perhaps they felt that it was too trivial to challenge a single person. They wanted Hu Jian to lose face and become the public enemy of the class. Hence, the challenge became a challenge to the class. Who knew that from morning till now, Hu Jian did not even show up. They were only creating a ruckus on their end. Although the people in Class F were sloppy, they were all hot-blooded youths. How could they allow others to behave atrociously towards them? Some people were impulsive and immediately agreed to the challenge. A stone stirred up a thousand waves. The two sides officially started a war on the online platform. Some people were impulsive and some people were worried. The online platform was extremely noisy. Some people from Class A even came to provoke them. However, Class F was surprisingly consistent in this matter. Regardless of whether Hu Jian was really one of their own, they first blocked the door before anything else. Another sign was put up: Dogs and people from Class A are not allowed to enter. But no matter what appears to be the case, everyone tacitly agreed that Class A would be the final winner. Even Class A themselves confidently believed so.. Chapter 29 - Put Your Hearts At Ease Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, Hu Jian did not have any expression on her face. There was no need to bicker over a matter where the winner was obvious. The people from Class F stood in front of her just to feel proud for once. As for why they did not look for Li Yang or Cheng Weiyu. The reason was very simple. They trusted the two of them more than they trusted her. However, there was nothing much to say about this matter. Even if she made a solemn promise now, it would only increase the doubts in everyone¡¯s hearts. Hu Jian looked around at the people around her and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s time for class.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all you¡¯re going to do?¡± A boy with blue fringe asked in disbelief. Hu Jian spread his hands and raised her eyebrows at him. ¡°What else am I supposed to do? Go out and fight with Class A?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to make a statement? We are all very concerned about this matter.¡± ¡°If making a statement was useful, would all of you still be standing here?¡± Hu Jian turned her gaze to the boy who had been scolded by them for accepting the challenge. The mockery in her eyes was evident. The people from Class F were all silenced. ¡°Instead of asking me to put your minds at ease, why don¡¯t you give yourselves a chance to show off?¡± ¡°We are all similar. No one would be worse than anyone else. If you think I can¡¯t do it, then find someone else who can.¡± The people from Class F looked at each other in dismay. Everyone knew that their class¡¯ results were the worst? ¡­ No matter what, Hu Jian was originally from Class A. Even if she could not do it, she was still better than them. Hu Jian looked at the silent group of teenagers in front of her. She asked in return, ¡°If you won this time because of us, how will Class F win in the future without us?¡± Her tone was very light, but her words carried a lot of weight. ¡°If you want to win, go earn it yourself.¡± Hu Jian said this and glanced at them indifferently. Then, she lay down on the table and closed her eyes to rest. The boy with blue fringe immediately became serious. He quietly returned to his seat, picked up his textbook, and began to study. The others also returned to their seats one after another. One by one, they took out their textbooks and tried their best to understand the obscure knowledge. Li Yang, who was passing by the corridor, could not help but laugh out loud when he saw this scene. Hu Jian really had a way of doing things. The problem that Chen Yu faced was dismissed with just a few words of hers. Hu Jian did not think it was a big deal. Even if she thought so, she would not be smug about it. She did what she had to do to shut them up. As for other matters, they were not things that she had to consider. However, since she wanted to win the championship, she had to take a look at the exercises from previous years. Hu Jian lay on the ground for a while, then sat up with her bones that felt like they were about to fall apart. She seriously took out a few sets of exercises from Li Yang¡¯s desk pocket and started to read them one by one. The atmosphere of learning rose quickly. Hu Jian also gradually entered the study mood. However, she could not take it after reading a few questions. The questions of the Math Olympiad were meant to be difficult, right? Hu Jian did mental calculations, oral calculations, and paper calculations in a very quick manner. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and had a new understanding of Mathematics. In her previous life, they also studied. Hu Jian even learned calculus. Although it was not very useful, she was still an expert in Mathematics, so it was no problem for her to deal with simple things. But this Math Olympiad problem was very ridiculous. The main problem was that it was very troublesome. Hu Jian did two questions and threw the pen down. She began to reflect on herself. Was it worth wasting her brain cells just for those two people? Speaking of the devil, the two people appeared in front of her one after the other. Yang Si was at the back and Wang Xin was at the front. Behind them were still Wang Xin¡¯s sidekicks. Wang Xin¡¯s nostrils flared. She glanced at the test paper in front of Hu Jian and looked at the math questions that she had scribbled a few times. With a disdainful look, she said sarcastically, ¡°You don¡¯t know how to solve a question that even a primary school student can?¡± ¡°This kind of question was easy for you in the past, Xiao Jian.¡± Yang Si added fuel to the fire at the right time, insinuating that Hu Jian was still neglecting her studies because of a man. Hu Jian did not even care about what she said. She yawned out of boredom as if she did not care about these two people at all. A tall figure approached from afar. Hu Jian took a casual glance and realized that it was Qiao Han. His expression was somewhat anxious for some unknown reason. Hu Jian was not interested in him. After taking a glance, she realized that he was not as fun as Wang Xin and Yang Si. At least the latter could still occasionally give her some excitement and create some entertainment for her. When Wang Xin saw that she did not respond, her face immediately turned black. She looked at her from the corner of her eyes and said, ¡°Hu Jian, don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t dare to accept the challenge because you don¡¯t know how to do it?¡± Hu Jian sneered. She supported her chin with one hand and retorted mercilessly, ¡°Did you come to challenge me knowing that I don¡¯t know how to do it?¡± Wang Xin¡¯s expression turned even uglier. She looked at the silent sidekicks on the left and right, then at the submissive Yang Si. She gritted her teeth at Hu Jian and said, ¡°I will not let this matter rest just like that..¡± Chapter 30 - Blame Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hu Jian found it a little funny. ¡°What is considered to be over¡± Wang Xin choked for a moment, her face turned green and red. ¡°However, I accept your challenge.¡± Hu Jian gave her a way out as if she was making a fool of her. As Wang Xin thought of Hu Jian losing the competition and making a fool of herself in public, her expression softened a little. She snorted coldly, ¡°See you on the competition field.¡± Wang Xin left arrogantly while Yang Si remained where she was. Qiao Han had already walked in front of everyone. He took a deep breath and asked Hu Jian, ¡°Are you okay?¡± Hu Jian was extremely puzzled. ¡°What could possibly happen to me?¡± ¡°They¡­¡± Qiao Han glanced at Yang Si and Wang Xin, who had left, implying something. Yang Si¡¯s face instantly turned pale. Hu Jian did not want to talk to Qiao Han anymore, so she said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s fine.¡± Her attitude was still cold. The failed meeting last time and the recent incidents of her being close to others once again lingered in Qiao Han¡¯s mind. It caused him to feel depressed. He really did not understand why she was so difficult to get close to now. In the past, she would be happy for an entire day just because of something he had casually said. His chest felt very heavy and he even could not breathe smoothly. His excessive concern for Hu Jian made him feel very uncomfortable. However, this discomfort could not be resolved by himself so he could only look for Hu Jian to assess the situation first. The bell for class suddenly rang at this time, interrupting both their intentions¡­ Qiao Han used the last bit of time to finally muster up his courage and asked, ¡°Do you have a study group for the Math Olympiad Competition? If you don¡¯t, join my group.¡± Yang Si¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. She looked at the handsome youth and a sense of disbelief flashed across her originally pale face. What was there to like about a woman like Hu Jian? She had stolen his attention so easily! In the past, he was clearly only focused on studying! Her hands clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her flesh, forcing herself not to leave. She wanted to see what he was going to do! Hu Jian was also stunned for a moment. She had never thought that he would say this. However, before she could consider, she had already instinctually rejected him. ¡°I don¡¯t need a group.¡± These simple words were like a knife, stabbing into Qiao Han¡¯s heart and numbing him of all his senses. His face turned as pale as Yang Si¡¯s. As the bell had already rung, coupled with Hu Jian¡¯s encouragement, everyone was back at their seats. The two of them thus stood out in front of the Hu Jian. They looked in the direction of the Hu Jian with gossipy eyes. Did they not say that Qiao Han was not interested in the Hu Jian? So why did he take the initiative to invite her to study? It seemed that the rumors were not true. After a long while, Qiao Han finally found his voice. ¡°Hu Jian, don¡¯t be ungrateful!¡± Qiao Han originally wanted to talk to her properly this time but he could not let his anger go. He felt as if he had been trampled under Hu Jian¡¯s feet. The conflicted feeling that he had for many days finally erupted at this moment. When Hu Jian heard this, the rage in her heart was sparked. She was about to refute when Chen Yu had already walked in with her textbook. Qiao Han took a glance, then turned around and left. Yang Si followed behind his every step. Her petite face was filled with resentment. If it was not for Hu Jian, she would not have been asked by Wang Xin to do such a thing. She would thus not have lost the rights to stand by his side. She rolled her eyes and struck while the iron was hot. ¡°Qiao Han, Hu Jian isn¡¯t worth it at all. That fickle woman loved one person yesterday and another today. Just based on what I know, I can¡¯t even count the number of people she has liked with my fingers.¡± Qiao Han paused in his footsteps as if he was weighing what he had just done. However, he did not respond to Yang Si¡¯s words. Right now, his heart seemed to be in a state of confusion, not knowing the solutions to his problem. When he was about to reach the classroom, he seemed to have finally cleared up a fact. He turned his head and said to Yang Si, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± ¡­ Some people blamed others for their mistakes, while others would do anything to prove themselves. Hu Jian had never thought that she would be attacked by her own words so quickly. Yesterday, she had said that there were no problems, but today, a heated discussion between the three of them broke out. The topic was started by her. In order to trick the two of them into doing the previous year¡¯s questions again, she told them that the previous year¡¯s questions were very interesting. She wanted to see if there were other methods to solve them other than hers. Cheng Weiyu was stunned for a moment. However, she smiled gently and did not expose her. There were many ways to tackle a Math Olympiad problem, but there were usually only one or two ways to solve it. No matter how complicated the question was, it could not escape the operation of basic knowledge. Thinking of the girl¡¯s straightforward words yesterday, Cheng Weiyu understood. In order to ease Hu Jian¡¯s embarrassment, she told Li Yang that she could not understand the questions from previous years. Although Hu Jian did not know much about Cheng Weiyu¡¯s character, it did not prevent her from having a good impression of her at the moment. Looking at their clear eyes, Li Yang sighed and started from the beginning. This way, Li Yang acted as a free laborer to solve the questions.. Chapter 31 - Mathematics Is Difficult Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio They went on from the start of class to the end of class. They acted as if there was no one around them. The other teachers and students knew that they were preparing for the Math Olympiad Competition, so they were considerate not to disturb them. Class F was on lockdown from the moment they started discussing. There used to be crowds of people outside Class F making a scene while looking at handsome men and beautiful women. Now, when looking out of the window, no one else was in the picture other than the white railings, the branches of the trees, the endless clear sky, and the occasional passing birds. Hu Jian was in a good mood because someone was doing the questions. ¡­ After a day of study, Hu Jian had a rough idea of how to solve the Math Olympiad problems. By the time school was over, almost half of the ten sets of papers had been completed. Hu Jian initially thought that they should finish the fifth set of papers. However, who knew that there was a problem in the fifth set of papers that even Li Yang could not solve. Hu Jian took a look and found that it was a Math Olympiad problem that used mathematical methods to find coordinate points. Her pupils constricted. If she could find the coordinate points in this way, then would the address given to her by Qin Heng have a clue? Hu Jian¡¯s expression suddenly became serious. She began to think seriously about this problem. Cheng Weiyu and Li Yang looked at each other and began to look for ideas to solve this problem. The three of their brains started to work at maximum capacity. ¡­ Four hours had passed, and they had already considered hundreds of ideas. They had made use of many methods but the calculations were all wrong. Cheng Weiyu¡¯s stomach began to growl. Hu Jian was startled awake by this sound. She put down her pen and said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± Seeing that Hu Jian was not angry at being interrupted, Li Yang¡¯s eyes curved. Hu Jian stretched lazily and briefly packed her things. As they walked out, she asked them, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Li Yang smiled. ¡°We can eat anything?¡± Hu Jian nodded. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s been hard on both of you today. It¡¯s my treat. We¡¯ll continue after we finish eating.¡± So they were waiting for them here. Li Yang smiled helplessly and followed them out. Cheng Weiyu walked at the back. Her crafty eyes roamed between the two of them. She covered her mouth and snickered for a while. It was already early in the evening outside the school. Hu Jian mentioned a few dishes, but Li Yang rejected them all. Hu Jian looked at Cheng Weiyu and asked her what she wanted to eat. Cheng Weiyu thought for a moment, touched her nose, and said rather embarrassedly, ¡°I want to eat your food.¡± Hu Jian: ¡°Mm?¡± Cheng Weiyu boldly repeated. When Li Yang heard it, he almost clapped for her. Hu Jian said, ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to cook¡­¡± Cheng Weiyu blinked and said doubtfully, ¡°Who said that? The Bento Box you gave me the last time was very delicious.¡± Hu Jian hesitated.¡±¡­ The last time?¡± Was this another scene that she did not know about? No wonder this girl always paid special attention to her¡­ It seemed that there were many missing details in Little Hu Jian¡¯s memory. Hearing the question in Hu Jian¡¯s words, Cheng Weiyu¡¯s eyes were slightly disappointed. She lowered her head and whispered, ¡°You really don¡¯t remember anymore.¡± Hu Jian choked for a rare moment. But soon, Cheng Weiyu raised her head again and smiled beautifully. Her eyes were full of anticipation. Hu Jian could not withstand this kind of look from the little girl. Anyway, Lin Yan would only be back tomorrow. She could cook for them. In her previous life, in order to ensure a safe diet for the Clan Leader and herself, Hu Jian often cooked herself. There was no time to cook a sumptuous meal, but it was still possible to have a simple home-cooked meal. However, she did not know if her cooking would taste the same as that of Little Hu Jian¡¯s. However, the standard of cooking could fluctuate. If they were really suspicious, she could simply find an excuse to fool them. Under the gaze of the two of them, Hu Jian finally nodded. She brought them home. The house was still in the same condition ever since Lin Yan left. There were traces of the two of them rolling on the sofa. Hu Jian was silent. She casually tidied up and then took out the ingredients in the fridge. Cheng Weiyu seemed to be very interested in her place. She touched here and there to take a look. Li Yang¡¯s purpose is very simple, directly ask Hu Jian where her bedroom was.. Chapter 32 - Hu Jians Cooking Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was just a simple house with three-bedroom and two-living rooms. No one knew why they were so interested. Hu Jian pointed to her room and then lowered her head to focus on cutting the vegetables. Li Yang and Cheng Weiyu went to visit her bedroom. They were amazed by the decoration of her bedroom which showed her young heart. There were lace, soft toys, and muslin curtains that filled the entire room. Li Yang said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Hu Jian to be like this.¡± Cheng Weiyu held a small pink night light. Hu Jian, who came out with the dishes: ¡°¡­¡± She initially wanted to stir-fry an eggplant with minced meat, but now, she suddenly did not want to. She scooped three bowls of porridge and three pairs of chopsticks. Then, she invited the two of them to eat. There were three dishes on the table. Vinegar Cabbage, Shredded pork with Beijing Sauce, and Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. The combination of the vibrant dishes coupled with a bowl of Red Date Porridge was simple and beautiful. Cheng Weiyu rushed out of the bedroom and exclaimed, ¡°Wow!¡±. Li Yang was also a little surprised. He did not expect Hu Jian to cook such a decent meal. Cheng Weiyu tasted it impatiently. The fragrance of the food exploded between her lips and teeth. The sweet and spicy flavors stimulated her taste buds and Cheng Weiyu¡¯s eyes lit up. She said incoherently, ¡°You¡¯ve improved so much! Last time, you only said you were trying, but now you can open a shop!¡± With that, Hu Jian learned about the past between her and Cheng Weiyu. It turned out that it was also a coincidence that day. Due to some reasons at home, Cheng Weiyu forgot to bring her cellphone and cash, so she was starving for an entire day. She did not want to go home after school, so she sat under the banyan tree at school sadly. Coincidentally, when Hu Jian passed by with a lunch box, her stomach growled loudly. As a result, Hu Jian gave Cheng Weiyu the first meal she attempted to make. Cheng Weiyu, who had never suffered much since she was a child, cried for the first time because of the food. As she cried and ate, Hu Jian even kindly bought her a bottle of water. The two of them talked about Qiao Han, whom Hu Jian liked at that time, and the reason why Cheng Weiyu ran away from home. Hu Jian also gave Cheng Weiyu an idea and advised her to go home. They chatted for a long time. As they did not bring their cell phones, the two of them did not exchange contact information in the end. In addition, they were not in the same class. After that short encounter, they never met again. However, Cheng Weiyu was always grateful towards Hu Jian. Once when they met on campus, Cheng Weiyu greeted her. Hu Jian looked very confused, so Cheng Weiyu did not bother her anymore. However, she had been paying attention to her in private. Later, there was news of Hu Jian drugging Qiao Han and was therefore transferred to F class. She did not believe that Hu Jian would drug Qiao Han. This was because she was the only one who had seen the way Hu Jian mention the person she liked. She was so serious and persistent. When they finished eating, it was already eleven o¡¯clock. Li Yang touched his stomach and burped, which made Cheng Weiyu chuckle. Hu Jian saw that it was getting late so she told them to go back first. Cheng Weiyu said that it was fine and that they could work out the questions first. She tilted her head and opened her big eyes, trying to prove to Hu Jian that she was very energetic. Hu Jian rubbed her head and asked Li Yang to send her back. Li Yang agreed and also advised, ¡°The questions can be solved tomorrow.¡± Seeing that Hu Jian had already put away the study table, Cheng Weiyu was finally willing to leave. After they left, Hu Jian stayed up all night. After searching for examples, she finally found the correct way to solve the problem. She did the same thing and decoded the string of numbers Qin Heng gave her. She found that the location was actually near the hospital where Lin Yan worked. It was a Tavern, similar to Sister Yu¡¯s Qing Bistro. Hu Jian thought about it and decided to wait until after the Math Olympiad Competition to look for Qin Heng. Now was the time when he was being hunted down. Even if she went, she probably would not be able to see him in person. He would probably arrange for someone else to protect her. ¡­ Hu Jian fell into a deep sleep at five in the morning. When she woke up, it was almost noon. She called Chen Yu to ask for a leave of absence and went to the Bistro to make up for the time she missed yesterday. She also told Sister Yu that she could get half of her salary for working in the day. Sister Yu smiled and patted her head. ¡°You¡¯re quite good at calculating.¡± Then, she left in her high heels. After work, Hu Jian saw Li Yang¡¯s message on Wechat asking her why she did not go to school. He also told her that they had solved yesterday¡¯s question. Hu Jian simply replied with three words: Something cropped up. She then made an appointment to study together the next day. Li Yang sent an ¡°Mm¡± emoji, along with a picture of Cheng Weiyu asking for a compliment with her test paper. Lin Yan arrived home at midnight that night when Hu Jian had just fallen asleep. She listened to the rustling outside, carefully listening to the sounds. Suddenly, she was a little curious about why he had to go on a work trip and why he had only returned at this hour.. Chapter 33 - Conspiracy Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Yan was dressed in a black suit. The smell of cold dew on his clothes was very strong. It was as if he had just emerged from a rainforest. Hu Jian observed through the crack of the door for a while before she was discovered by the attentive Lin Yan. His expression was gloomy as he looked at Hu Jian for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he asked softly, ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± Hu Jian stared at him for a while without saying a word and closed the door. A trace of desolation flashed across Lin Yan¡¯s eyes. Sure enough, the incident two days ago had affected her. He gently approached Hu Jian¡¯s room. Outside the door, he coarsely said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±. However, she did not respond. From that day on, Lin Yan no longer interfered with her matters. Moreover, he left early and returned late every day. There was no chance to see him at all. Hu Jian secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. At the moment, she could only make use of this bit of guilt he had for her. ¡­ The preparation for the Math Olympiad Competition was more intense than Hu Jian had imagined. As she had to ensure a one hundred percent chance of winning the championship, the number of questions she had to prepare was also relatively large. Therefore, she had no time to care about anything else. After Wang Xin provoked her that time, she did not come looking for her anymore. However, Hu Jian knew in her heart that she would not just let it go like that. Just a month before the exam, Cheng Weiyu said that Qiao Han had joined Wang Xin¡¯s competition group. Hu Jian just nodded and gave a perfunctory ¡°Mm¡±. Cheng Weiyu did not know what exactly happened between the two of them, but she could vaguely feel that Hu Jian did not like it. She said it once and did not say anything more. Hu Jian practiced the questions with Li Yang and Cheng Weiyu every day during the day and worked at the Bistro at night. Without the disturbance of anyone, her life was simple and fulfilling. She treasured a life like this as she had not lived such a life without any worries. It had been a long time since she was so focused on a goal. ¡­ In a blink of an eye, a month and a half passed. Soon, it was the night before the competition. At night, a girl bypassed the security guards of the school and sneaked into Class F. She found Hu Jian¡¯s seat. She stuffed a crumpled piece of paper into Hu Jian¡¯s desk pocket. Hu Jian never put anything in her desk pocket, so she did not have the habit of looking at the desk pocket. Even her textbooks and other things were casually thrown on the desk. Recently, there were many question sets on her desk that were all taken from Li Yang and Cheng Weiyu. The girl was very familiar with these small habits of Hu Jian, and after turning off the surveillance, she was even more fearless. After the girl stuffed the paper in, she used glue to glue her pen and paper onto the table. The surface of the stool was also smeared with some, and there were also hidden nails of the same color on it. Her eyes were sinister. If anyone saw this girl, they would definitely be very confused as to why such a young girl would be so vicious. She knew that Hu Jian would not fall for these little tricks, but it was like the meal before execution. You might not want it, but it would still be provided. Creating a little trouble to attract the other party¡¯s attention was a small trick that saved both trouble and effort. This trick was something she had learned from Wang Xin over the past month and a half. After Yang Si had done everything, she put on her hat again and slid along the wall to meet Wang Xin outside the school. They stood in the shadow of the back alley of the school. Wang Xin had a cigarette in her hand. She pressed the lighter switch intermittently, and the red and yellow light flickered in the darkness. ¡°How is it? Is it ready?¡± Only after seeing her come, Wang Xin lowered her head and lit the cigarette. Yang Si replied respectfully, ¡°It¡¯s ready.¡± ¡°Very good. Have you memorized all the answers?¡± Wang Xin asked again. ¡°I¡¯ve memorized them,¡± Yang Si replied. ¡°Alright then. You¡¯ll participate in the competition tomorrow.¡± Wang Xin took a light puff. She felt that the taste was not good enough, so she threw the cigarette on the ground. The cigarette butt was casually extinguished by her red leather shoes. She knocked on her heels and shook off the ashes from the soles of her shoes. Without even looking at Yang Si, she turned around and led her sidekicks to get into the luxury car. The red sports car left in a swift. Yang Si stood where she was, her scabbed palm torn apart again. Red blood dripped on the ground. She looked in the direction where Wang Xin had left for a while and suddenly laughed maniacally. This time, not only did she want Hu Jian to suffer a crushing defeat, but she also wanted Wang Xin to lose face as she did! She had selfishly wanted to leave the aphrodisiac medicine for Wang Xin hence she did not use it on Hu Jian. She lied to Wang Xin and said that she had accidentally lost it. In front of all her sidekicks, Wang Xin scolded her for being a waste and even played the video that was recorded at that time for everyone to see. The men around Wang Xin appeared to have been harassing her. She did not want to experience that kind of thing again, so she used her mouth to solve it for them one by one. That kind of smell was nauseating just thinking about it. Wang Xin would also fault with her and often punched and kicked her. After enduring for a month and a half, she had finally waited for the day when the show would start! The hatred in Yang Si¡¯s eyes raged, and her body shrouded in the shadows, covered her face.. Chapter 34 - Questions Leaked Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the Math Olympiad Competition. After all, the battle between Class A and Class F sounded very interesting. The challenge had been posted on the official website of the online platform for a whole month. There were comments on the post every day. Hu Jian had not paid attention to this since she first saw it. Instead, it was Cheng Weiyu who was always in high spirits and would read some interesting comments to Hu Jian. On the morning of the Math Olympiad Competition, they met early at the school gate. Li Yang said that he had to go buy some things so Hu Jian and Cheng Weiyu went back to the classroom first. Hu Jian did not have anything to take. She just accompanied Cheng Weiyu to take her lucky charm, a yellow asteroid. When she passed by her seat, she could hardly recognize her desk and chair. The table and chair were full of cuts made with a knife and red paint was all over those cuts. They looked like wounds, overlapping one another. It was a shocking sight. The people in Class F all had solemn expressions. The students passing by the door were all whispering. No wonder it was so difficult to enter just now and they almost could not squeeze through. It was all because someone used such a childish trick before the competition. Hu Jian felt that it was a little funny for a moment. Cheng Weiyu nervously grabbed Hu Jian¡¯s arm and a worried look appeared on her face. The boy with blue fringe saw this and came forward to ask if Hu Jian needed help. Hu Jian used her finger to wipe the red paint on the scratches and put it under her nose to sniff it, saying, ¡°No need. Those who have the guts to do this but don¡¯t have the guts to admit should be ashamed of themselves.¡± In the corridor, the girl behind Wang Xin suddenly sneezed. ¡°Well¡­ this smell is quite fresh. It should have been made this morning.¡± After Hu Jian said that, she touched the solidified glue on the table again and used her nails to scratch it. Judging from the hardness of the glue, she said, ¡°This was glued last night.¡± Cheng Weiyu opened her mouth and cleverly asked everyone¡¯s thoughts, ¡°How do you know this?¡± Hu Jian smiled mysteriously, but her words forced the F class to choke. ¡°Learn more and you¡¯ll naturally know everything.¡± Wang Xin had just walked to the classroom door when she heard this sentence. She immediately mocked, ¡°If you learn more, you¡¯ll know everything. Then, after learning Math Olympiad for so many days, you¡¯ll know everything.¡± Hu Jan replied matter-of-factly, ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk too big, or you¡¯ll be embarrassed by what you just said.¡± ¡°The outcome hasn¡¯t been decided yet. Who will be embarrassed is still unknown.¡± ¡°People who are too confident will fail. Didn¡¯t your mother teach you?¡± Wang Xin mocked. Hu Jian chuckled and laughed, ¡°You don¡¯t need to know whether my mother taught me or not, but I will definitely teach you.¡± ¡°You!¡± A girl behind Wang Xin understood what she meant. She stood up and pointed her index finger at her nose. Hu Jian raised her eyebrows and continued to provoke her. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯m only seventeen. I don¡¯t really want to be someone else¡¯s mother.¡± Wang Xin¡¯s eyes narrowed. She pressed the girl¡¯s arm down, signaling for her to calm down. Laugh all she wants now. When the results were announced, she would not be able to laugh anymore! In less than ten minutes, Wang Xin led her people out. Hu Jian felt that they were really interesting. They had gone to such great lengths just to find trouble with her. Hu Jian moved her desk to the back of the classroom against the wall. She even pasted a note with two words on it ¡ª ¡°Don¡¯t touch.¡± She then told Cheng Weiyu to get her things. When she moved the desk, the corner of the desk collided with someone else¡¯s desk. Half of the things in Hu Jian¡¯s table pocket fell out in pieces. The paper that Yang Si had stuffed in her table pocket last night was also there. Hu Jian bent down to pick it up. At a glance, she saw the big words written on the crumpled piece of paper ¡ª ¡°Answer to Paper A of the National Math Olympiad Competition¡±. Heh, they were really making the effort to do things behind her back. Hu Jian smiled. She immediately knew that Yang Si was responsible for this. This was not Wang Xin¡¯s style, but it was something Yang Si would do. Cheng Weiyu took the asteroid and leaned over to see what Hu Jian was so engrossed in. When she saw it, she was shocked. She instinctively took a step back. When she made sure that no one could see her for the time being, she mouthed and gestured to Hu Jian, asking why this thing had appeared here. The exam was about to start. As such, it was impossible to explain in a few words. Hu Jian only told her not to touch the answer with her hands. Cheng Weiyu nodded. Li Yang came over with the breakfast he bought. When he saw the answer in Hu Jian¡¯s hand, his expression suddenly became serious. The answers were not easy to find¡­ In the past, he had only seen it in the Archives at home¡­ But this year it was all locked up in the Test Center. How did it get here? Chapter 35 - Watching the Show Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Li Yang¡¯s expression was solemn. He knew that this was not a simple matter, but seeing Hu Jian¡¯s calm expression, he was relieved. He gave the breakfast to the two of them. Then, he cast his gaze on the table next to Hu Jian. His expression suddenly turned cold. ¡°This¡­who did this?!¡± Hu Jian looked at his gaze and knew what he wanted to ask. She said indifferently, ¡°Let¡¯s talk after the exam. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± She stuffed the answer back into her table pocket. She took the lead and walked out, bringing them to the Examination Hall of the Math Olympiad Competition. Looking at Hu Jian, who was not affected at all, Cheng Weiyu calmed down. On the other side, before arriving at the Examination Hall. Yang Si poured a small packet of white powder into Wang Xin¡¯s usual drinking cup. She did not stay submissive for a month and a half for nothing. Yang Si shook the drinking cup evenly, sneered, and put it back in its original position. Wang Xin was used to drinking water before exams to calm herself down, even if the exam was not important to her. This habit was deeply ingrained and Yang Si only discovered it after observing it for a long time. ¡­ The competition was held in their school¡¯s Auditorium, it was open and fair. When Hu Jian arrived, there was exactly one minute before the exam officially began. Wang Xin and the other students had been waiting in the Auditorium for a long time. When the teacher saw them coming, he hurriedly let them take their seats. What surprised Hu Jian was that the third person in Wang Xin¡¯s group was actually Yang Si. She had never been named. Her results had never been very good. If she did not have a strong guarantee, such as knowing the answer, Wang Xin would definitely not let her go¡­ This combination further confirmed Hu Jian¡¯s suspicions. Wang Xin glanced at them from the corner of her eyes and then looked away. As the exam bell rang, Wang Xin indeed picked up the drinking cup on the table and took a sip. Hu Jian gave a few simple reminders to the two of them. In Qiao Han¡¯s eyes, she was talking and laughing with Li Yang and the others. Qiao Han¡¯s eyes became even colder. He glanced at the two teammates beside him but his attention was never on the two of them. The intense competition lasted for three hours. If it were not for the steamed buns that Li Yang bought, Hu Jian felt that she might have fainted from hunger. As Lin Yan had been so busy leaving early and returning late recently, he did not have time to cook. As such, Hu Jian did not have any breakfast. Lin Yan gave her a sum of money for food, but she saved it all up. The most crucial way to break away from the control of such a strange relationship was financial independence. Other than wanting to gather information, this was also one of the reasons why she went to work at Sister Yu¡¯s Bistro. Although she knew a lot of things in her previous life, she could not easily expose them. Like those hacking techniques where her style was too obvious. Other than her, no one else would do that. Imagine how strange it would be for a supposedly dead person to be active on the internet a few months after she passed away. ¡­ The exam went very smoothly. It was basically all the type of questions that Hu Jian had done before. They solved it without much effort. While Wang Xin and the others were still discussing half of the exam papers, Hu Jian had already put down her pen. Wang Xin calmly asked Yang Si to fill in the answers. The reason why she pretended to discuss was actually to create the authenticity of the answers. Qiao Han disdained such behavior. He concentrated on his own part. Wang Xin did not care. Anyway, after they were done, they would still have to check the answers. At that time, Yang Si would just have to revise the answers. Just when Wang Xin thought that she was sure to win, she suddenly felt a restless fire in her lower abdomen. The effect of the aphrodisiac medicine was very fast. Before Wang Xin could react, she took off her coat unknowingly. Her cheeks and whole body were hot. Soon, wave after wave of heat took over her brain and her legs instantly became weak. Seeing this, Yang Si asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± However, there was not a trace of concern in her eyes. At this time, if Wang Xin still did not know what had happened, then she would be too stupid. She knew how powerful the medicine she gave was. She glared at Yang Si and trembled with anger. ¡°How dare you¡­!¡± Yang Si looked back with pure and innocent confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sister Wang?¡± Hu Jian had noticed the commotion when Wang Xin had just made an abnormal move. She stood aside and watched, pulling Li Yang and Cheng Weiyu along to watch the joke with her. Initially, she thought that Yang Si had forgotten about drugging Wang Xin. However, Yang Si was only waiting for the opportunity to do it to her. She had courage, but this was not a smart move. She was so brazen. When the matter was over, did Yang Si think she would have a good ending? However, they had to watch the situation unfold seriously. Only then would they not miss out on the exciting scenes. Hu Jian rested her chin on Cheng Weiyu¡¯s shoulder and enjoyed the ¡®show¡¯ that Yang Si had brought to them.. Chapter 36 - In Heat Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Xin¡¯s facial features were twisted together as she tried her best not to make a fool of herself in front of the public. Her face and body were flushed with an unnatural redness. When her fellow classmates heard her faint moaning, they all turned their heads to look at her. The Invigilator also came to ask what had happened to Wang Xin. Wang Xin gritted her teeth and squeezed out the word, ¡°Nothing.¡±. How could she let a person like Yang Si see her as a joke? Not to mention, Hu Jian was still present. The Invigilator looked as if he did not quite believe her and insisted on sending her to The Infirmary. Wang Xin slapped away the hand that the teacher came to support her and angrily scolded, ¡°Get lost!¡± The teacher was startled for a moment and left because of Wang Xin¡¯s identity. As time passed, the heat became more and more difficult to relieve. Initially, Wang Xin could still feel a little cold against the table and chair. However, once the table and chair became hot, she could only squeeze towards Qiao Han. Yang Si walked towards her with a cold smile and pretended to care about Wang Xin. In reality, she was using her stumbling to deliberately pull off Wang Xin¡¯s shirt. The white patch was exposed in front of everyone¡¯s eyes and Wang Xin hurriedly used her hands to cover it. Yang Si covered her mouth in panic and quickly apologized, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Wang Xin, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± To the people present, her actions looked as though she was trying her best to restore Wang Xin to her original appearance. However, because of her flustered clumsiness, Wang Xin¡¯s exposed skin surface area became a little bigger. Wang Xin was furious. She tried to stand up straight with her face full of anger. She raised a hand and was about to slap Yang Si. However, because her movements were too big, her body softened. This scene was coincidentally captured by the micro-camera in Yang Si¡¯s wrist. Hu Jian¡¯s eyes were sharp. She saw it at a glance and laughed so hard. She lay on Cheng Weiyu¡¯s body and laughed intensely, shaking forward and backward. Qiao Han happened to look over at that moment. His brows were tightly furrowed and his lips were tightly pursed. He seemed to be very puzzled as to why someone would be so indiscreet under such an embarrassing situation. Qiao Han took off his coat and put it on Wang Xin. Wang Xin had originally wanted to continue the examination with all her might. However, she was very clear that once the medicine takes full effect, it would only be more humiliating than it was now. She glared at Yang Si while asking Qiao Han to take her out. Qiao Han had not finished the examination papers in his hands. If he left now, Class A would definitely not be able to get first place this year. Not to mention making Hu Jian lower her head and admit her mistake. After weighing the pros and cons, Qiao Han still decided to call for the teacher¡¯s help. The Invigilator was a short and fat man wearing glasses. After catching Wang Xin, he made a move on her and was touching her everywhere. At this moment, Wang Xin¡¯s gaze was not very threatening. ¡­ This time, she even bore a grudge against Qiao Han. When she followed the teacher out, she stared at Yang Si and Qiao Han for a long time and gave a creepy smile. Hu Jian spread out her hands. ¡°Just this? That¡¯s really boring.¡± Li Yang raised his eyebrows. ¡°What else do you want?¡± Hu Jian smiled and joked, ¡°A great show should have taken place. It would be best to show everything that shouldn¡¯t be shown in front of the entire school.¡± Li Yang clicked his tongue and pretended to sigh. ¡°Women are really vicious.¡± Hu Jian glanced at him and said with a laugh, ¡°Then you judging criteria is really simple.¡± Li Yang: ¡°¡­¡± After Wang Xin left for a while, Yang Si took the initiative to hand in the examination paper to the teacher. She walked happily and was ready to interview Wang Xin¡¯s feelings at this moment. Hu Jian¡¯s eyes lit up. She stuffed the examination paper to Li Yang and pulled Cheng Weiyu along as she immediately followed. At this moment, in The Infirmary. Wang Xin¡¯s clothes were almost torn apart, and her mouth was covered by the short and fat male teacher. The short and fat male teacher was standing beside Wang Xin, touching her all over. ¡°How is it? How does it feel like to have a taste of your own medicine?¡± Yang Si asked with a cold smile. Wang Xin could not answer as her mouth was covered. ¡°I arranged for the people today. Be it The invigilator or the Health Care Teacher not being present. If I were to give an order, and you would be able to experience what I felt that day,¡± Yang Si said slowly. Wang Xin¡¯s eyes widened, and her eyes were burning. ¡°If you want to stop all this, then beg me.¡± Yang Si walked closer to her and pinched her chin. Under Yang Si¡¯s gaze, the short and fat man let go of her dark red lips. ¡°How dare you? Do you know who you are doing this to?¡± Yang Si suddenly became crazy. She turned her head and said. ¡°I know, the only daughter of the Wang family who specializes in Real Estate.¡± ¡°If not for this identity, who do you think would be willing to follow you?!¡± Yang Si¡¯s tone became sharp and high-pitched. Wang Xin was still struggling under the man¡¯s hand. ¡°If you let me go now, there is still room for turning back.. Otherwise, I will make you suffer!¡± Chapter 37 - Having a Taste of Her Own Medicine Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°You¡¯d better get through this first.¡± Yang Si was not affected by her at all. She took a chair and sat opposite Wang Xin. Then, she turned on the camera in front of Wang Xin. ¡°If you wait a little longer, you will be willing to do this. We won¡¯t have to force you.¡± Yang Si smiled seductively, exactly like a desperate person who did not care about anything. She waited quietly for five minutes. After five minutes, Wang Xin felt that her body was completely out of her control. She swayed her body and leaned on the disgusting man in front of her. Only then did fear appeared in Wang Xin¡¯s eyes. ¡°What are you afraid of? Isn¡¯t this what you like to do?¡± Yang Si said, provoking her at the right time. Yang Si gave the man a signal. The man immediately took off all of Wang Xin¡¯s clothes that were on the verge of falling off. When the man started to move, Yang Si continued adding fuel to the fire. ¡°You don¡¯t have to think about how to take revenge on us. Ah Da is a habitual rapist and has been jailed several times. As for me, it¡¯s very fair. We each have the other¡¯s blackmail material. At most, we will fight to the death.¡± ¡°But I believe, the Wang family will not allow such a scandal to happen. Don¡¯t you think so Wang Xin?¡± Wang Xin gritted her teeth and swallowed the blood. Cheng Weiyu and Hu Jian lay outside the medical treatment room. They looked and discussed at the same time. ¡°Are we just going to watch?¡± One look and anyone could tell that Cheng Weiyu had never seen such things happening before. Hu Jian rubbed her head and said expressionlessly, ¡°If I didn¡¯t react in time that day, I would have suffered like that.¡± Cheng Weiyu opened her mouth, wanting to comfort her. However, she did not know where to start. Hu Jian said considerately, ¡°If you feel unwell, you can go back first. I can handle this alone.¡± After her body had been recovered and trained, she could now basically deal with some ordinary people. Hu Jian could now easily fight ten people, like the short and fat man in the infirmary, at once. Cheng Weiyu did not say anything, but she did not leave either. Hu Jian observed for a while but was afraid to corrupt Cheng Weiyu¡¯s young mind so she took her away from this place. When they returned to the classroom, the Math Olympiad Competition had already ended. Li Yang laid lazily on the chair and basked in the sun. He told the two that the results of the Olympiad math competition would be out in a week. Hu Jian had been waiting for today¡¯s event to be exposed by her classmates, but surprisingly, there was no news even after school ended. Hu Jian thought to herself: The Wang family¡¯s actions are really fast. In X City, the Wang family, Qiao family, Li family, and Cheng family were known as the Four Leading Families of X city. Hu Jian had previously investigated that the Wang Family was in the Real Estate business, the Qiao Family had a place in cosmetics brands and the Li Family was mostly into politics. As for the Cheng Family, they did everything. The local aristocratic families still had a lot of power in the local area. However, the true head of the aristocratic families was still the Wen Family, who had lived in the mountains for a long time and lived a life of simplicity. There was also the Song Family, who were everywhere, arrogant and domineering, the Duan Family, who had quiet but fierce presence, and the Lin family, who were great in doing business. The second piece of information was given to her by Li Yang when they were chatting. However, Hu Jian had a premonition that sooner or later, she would have to meet with a few of the aristocratic families. ¡­ Hu Jian did not manage to go to the Bistro that day because when she left the school, she saw Lin Yan waiting for her by the car. His camel-colored windbreaker made him look skinny and tall as he stood in front of the black car. From afar, he looked just like a famous model. Many students were whispering around him. Cheng Weiyu, who was with her, was also a little curious. Who was this mature and gentle-looking man? Hu Jian felt a headache coming on. After exchanging a few simple words with Cheng Weiyu, she braced herself and walked forward. Lin Yan gently took her bag and jacket. Hu Jian did not want to attract attention so she quickly opened the back door and sat in the backseat. Qiao Han and Li Yang, who had left the school at almost the same time, saw this scene at the same time. Qiao Han¡¯s expression was slightly cold while Li Yang did not have any expression on his face. ¡­ In the car, Lin Yan asked her how the test was today. Hu Jian was silent for a moment before replying, ¡°It was alright.¡± She really could not figure out what was going on in his mind. Did that little bit of guilt disappear so quickly? Lin Yan did not say anything else. He drove to a restaurant and ordered a table of Hu Jian¡¯s favorite food. Then, he watched Hu Jian gulp the food down. ¡°Two days ago was the death anniversary of your father. I went to see him.¡± When Hu Jian heard this, her hand that was holding the chopsticks stopped moving. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to tell you this at first, but there are some things that you have to know sooner or later.¡± Lin Yan lit a cigarette in front of her for the first time. He took a puff and said, ¡°Your father¡¯s death that year may not have been an accident.¡± The deep feelings between Little Hu Jian and her father surged in Hu Jian¡¯s heart. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.. Chapter 38 - Confusion Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about the details. I only just found out about this news,¡± Lin Yan said apologetically. He took a tissue and gently wiped Hu Jian¡¯s tears. After Hu Jian calmed down, he continued, ¡°A friend of mine, who was a military doctor, suddenly went to prison. In his statement, he mentioned that they were producing an illegal Paralytic Serum and sold it to a lot of people. Your father included¡­¡± The Paralytic Serum was also known to be another version of the Sealed Needle, Happy Drug. The Sealed Needle could only stop pain, but the Paralytic Serum was addictive. It even had hallucinogenic effects. Its price was even half of the Sealed Needle. Hu Jian once thought that it could no longer be considered a simple drug, but a narcotic drug. In her previous life, Hu Jian was always injured due to all kinds of fights related to trade. If she had time to recuperate, she would use a good anesthetic. If she did not have time, she would either use the Sealed Needle or just grit her teeth and carry on. She had also accidentally found the Paralytic Serum at her subordinate¡¯s place. During one of the training sessions, that subordinate was not in a clear state of mind and could not differentiate between friend and foe. He was very aggressive towards his surrounding. Because Hu Jian cherished the people of the Dragon Gate Gang, she did a thorough investigation. Without investigating, she would not have found out that almost half of the people in the Dragon Gate Gang were using this kind of counterfeit goods that were low-quality and dangerous. Hu Jian had a bad premonition and strictly forbade the members of the gang from using this kind of thing again. However, it was resolved by the Clan Leader in a few words. In the end, the argument only ended with the dosage being controlled and not banned. Now that she thought about it, the incident in the Dragon Gate Gang at that time was very likely related to this kind of thing. ¡°Why would my father¡­buy this kind of thing?¡± Lin Yan shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± They finished their meal in silence. The incident that had happened before suddenly became unimportant. Hu Jian desperately wanted to see Qin Heng. She had a hunch that the Dragon Gate Gang, Little Hu Jian¡¯s father, and the Paralytic Serum had some unrevealed relations. ¡­ Hu Jian took a long vacation from Sister Yu and skipped class to go to the Bar that she had previously found. In order to avoid Lin Yan, she even deliberately chose a different time. The bar during the day was also chaotic. Hu Jian passed through the crowd and went straight to the Bar counter to ask who the manager of the Bar was. The Bartender looked up at her and teased, ¡°How dare a little girl look for our manager? Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s looking for our manager to take responsibility again?¡± Hu Jian pulled down his face, grabbed his tie, and dragged him in front of her with one hand. ¡°I¡¯m not joking with you. If you delay this matter, you might get fired.¡± The Bartender was shocked by her strength. He knew that she was not a simple person, so he quickly nodded and bowed. ¡°I¡¯m going, I¡¯m going.¡± The bartender had just taken a few steps when he heard a ¡°Xiu¡± sound. The wine cabinet beside him exploded with a bang. Broken glass flew in all directions like hidden weapons. Hu Jian saw a piece of glass heading straight for her face and quickly dodged to the side. The bartender was not so lucky. One of the pieces directly pierced into his arm and went through him. He was bleeding profusely. The people in the bar caused an uproar because of this sound. Soon, there was no one on the dance floor. Hu Jian flipped her hand and pulled the person under the wooden counter. She tore open his tailcoat and bandaged his arm tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± she said. She stuck her head out to look at the source of the sound. There was only one window over there that was covered by a black cloth. There was a colorful light shining on it, confusing people with a sense of beauty. If someone really shot from there, they would be able to escape unscathed with the confusing light. Hu Jian wanted to go out and check on the situation, but she was grabbed by the sobbing Bartender. ¡°I, I¡¯m scared¡­¡± Hu Jian: ¡°¡­¡± She lowered her head and asked the bartender, ¡°Which room is your manager in?¡± The bartender held back his tears and shakily pointed in a direction for her. Hu Jian looked at him and said, ¡°Either you stay where you are, or you follow me out. You choose.¡± The sizzling sound grew louder and louder. During the time the bartender was making his decision, the power in the Bar was out, and it was dark everywhere. Hu Jian had a vague feeling that someone was coming. She pulled the bartender up without saying anything, hunched down, and hid in the darkness. They were hiding in a private room in the Bar. Hu Jian opened the door a little and stared in the direction of the dance floor. After a while, someone really came. The person was wearing a black suit with a silver bird embroidered on the collar. He glided across the dance floor gracefully like a swallow riding the wind. He checked everywhere until he glided past Hu Jian¡¯s room and paused. Looking through the small gap, half of his face looked very handsome. Hu Jian recognized him almost instantly.. Her pupils constricted ¡ª how could it be him?! Chapter 39 - Suspicion Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Joker! In her previous life, besides Scarlet Flame, he was the person she trusted the most. Why would he have a conflict at Qin Heng¡¯s place? Not long after he ran past, a person in a white coat also chased after him. Looking at that familiar figure, Hu Jian could not think properly as her mind was filled with so many questions. Forget about Joker, why was Lin Yan here too?! Her expression turned cold. She instructed the bartender to stay where he was and not to move. She turned to follow Lin Yan. However, after walking past a few turns, she was hugged by a man from behind and her mouth was covered. The man¡¯s broad chest wrapped around Hu Jian but he did not do anything to hurt her. Hu Jian looked up at him. Lin Yan put his index finger to his lips and told her to keep quiet. Lin Yan then released his hand when Hu Jian nodded. He brought her through the private rooms, the dark underground garage and then brought Hu Jian to the safe ground level. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± The two of them stood still and silently looked at each other for a moment. They then asked the same question at the same time. After asking the same question, the two of them fell silent again. As Hu Jian was taking the identity of Little Hu Jian, a young and inexperienced girl. It was really hard to explain why she had appeared in the bar. She was afraid that Lin Yan would get jealous and say that she had been led astray by someone else. If he were to repeat what happened last time, Hu Jian herself would feel troubled. She was an adult in her twenties. Even if she liked someone, the initiative should be hers! Lin Yan¡¯s eyes were lowered and his fingers were slightly curled. It was as if he was thinking about how to explain this matter. After a long while, he said, ¡°I was just sent by the director to pick up designated equipment. I heard an explosion here and I was afraid that someone would be injured so I came over.¡± ¡­ This reason sounded legitimate, and it could also explain why he was wearing a white coat, but¡­ why was he so familiar with the layout of this bar. Why did he also clearly know to avoid Joker? Hu Jian¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. She was not a gullible three-year-old child. Lin Yan sighed and added, ¡°When I came in just now, I saw him putting away his gun and coincidentally saw your back view. I was afraid that something would happen to you so I followed behind him to confirm if it was you. As for why I¡¯m so familiar with the layout of this place, it¡¯s because before this place became a bar, it used to be the affiliated hospital of our hospital.¡± This¡­ made some sense, but the black suit incident and the information he had revealed to her made it seem that it was not so simple. Hu Jian had her reservations and gave a faint ¡°oh¡±. Wait till she went back to check the information and get evidence¡­ ¡­ Lin Yan¡¯s reason sounded legitimate, so it was Hu Jian¡¯s turn. While Hu Jian was racking her brain thinking of an explanation, Lin Yan asked her, ¡°Why are you here? Did that boy bring you here?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s subconscious did not think that Hu Jian would come to such a place on her own. Hu Jian¡¯s eyelashes fluttered as if fate had caught the back of her neck, making her unable to speak. She lowered her head to look at the tip of her toes and was ready to fool him with her silence. However, Lin Yan obviously would not give her the chance. He looked at her seriously. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take your silence as an agreement to what I said.¡± How could Hu Jian let Li Yang take the blame for something he did not do? She took a deep breath and said resolutely, ¡°This has nothing to do with him.¡± Lin Yan put his hand into his pocket and waited for her to continue. Hu Jian closed her eyes and cleared her throat. She made up his mind and said willfully, ¡°Can¡¯t I be curious?¡± ¡°Yes, you can do anything. As long as you don¡¯t leave me, you¡¯ll always be free.¡± Lin Yan¡¯s tone was indifferent. He took her hand and interlocked her fingers with his. After returning from a business trip, it felt as if he was more difficult to deal with¡­ He did such things so naturally, making Hu Jian completely unable to guard against him. ¡°Next time you¡¯re curious about such a dangerous thing, remember to tell me. I¡¯ll accompany you. You¡¯re already so old, don¡¯t let others worry about you anymore. If anything happens to you¡­¡± When Lin Yan said this, he paused for a moment and furrowed his brows. He did not want to continue. He changed the topic and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about your father¡¯s matter. I will get to the bottom of it. The most important thing for you now is to return to Class A, study hard, and get into a school of your choice with your College Entrance Examination results.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Were all teachers and parents in the world like this? Hu Jian felt a headache coming on. She did not want to return to Class A at all. Returning to Class A meant that she had no freedom. However, at this juncture, she had just tried to joke with the other party so she could not rebut him. Hu Jian pondered for a moment and said, ¡°I will do what I have to do.¡± How could Lin Yan not understand what she meant? However, he did not hold her back. He just rubbed her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t skip classes in the future..¡± Chapter 40 - Begging Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Yan brought her to the lounge of the hospital. He told her to stay there until he got off work so that he could send her back to school. Hu Jian had just agreed when Li Yang sent her a message saying that the rankings for the Math Olympiad Competition had been released early. He asked her where she was and told her to rush back to enjoy the fun of winning the championship. Hu Jian was not surprised by this result. She lowered her head and replied with an ¡°Okay¡±. It was time to teach Wang Xin and her group of people a lesson for setting up her and the people from Class F. Hu Jian could not find Lin Yan in the consultation room so she told the nurse to inform him. She even sent Lin Yan a message saying that she would go back to school first. Hu Jian rushed to school five minutes before the lunch break. She entered through the back door and sat down. Chen Yu rushed into Class F with the name list of the ranking of the Math Olympiad Competition. Her excitement was beyond words. ¡°Students, I have a piece of good news to share. The team of students Li Yang, Cheng Weiyu, and Hu Jian from our class has obtained first place in this competition. Let us give them a warm applause!¡± The students from Class F were silent for a moment before they let out a loud roar and cheered. The sound was so loud the roof almost collapsed. When the class bell rang, the students from Class F gathered around Hu Jian and gave her a thumbs up. They were all praising her. ¡°Awesome, Sister Hu.¡± Hu Jian lazily picked her ears and glanced at the boy. ¡°Call me brother.¡± Calling big sister makes me feel old. ¡°Awesome, Hu Ge.¡± Li Yang snickered and was amused. ¡°¡­¡± He might as well not shout. Cheng Weiyu was also beaming with joy. However, when they went to the cafeteria and ordered a large table of dishes to celebrate, they realized that the people around them were not looking at them properly. ¡°What¡¯s so awesome about them? Didn¡¯t they just plagiarize?¡± ¡°Did they really think that no one knows what they did? The evidence is all in their pockets.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck.¡± ¡°The Class F people are really interesting. They are celebrating the victory they stole. Those who don¡¯t know would think that they¡¯re really amazing.¡± The expressions of the people in Class F immediately changed. None of them were willing to believe these sarcastic remarks. However, those people made it sound so real that the people of Class F people could not help but feel uncomfortable. They all turned their heads to look at Hu Jian. Hu Jian blew on a piece of bubble gum and it broke with a bang. She waved her hand and told them to take their seats. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Who had the mood to eat this meal¡­ the Class F students looked at each other. Even though Hu Jian had worked very hard during those days, her efforts were nothing compared to the difficulty of winning the championship. Especially after they had experienced it ¡°personally¡±, they finally understood how difficult it was to solve mathematical problems. Hu Jian moved her chopsticks first. Cheng Weiyu did not stand on ceremony either. Li Yang picked up a piece of spicy chicken and praised, ¡°Delicious.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The people from Class F collectively fell silent. Why were these three acting as if nothing had happened? They sat down helplessly, as reserved as children who had admitted their mistakes. Hu Jian looked at them strangely. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you all eating? Will the rice grow legs and run into your mouth by itself?¡± The boy with blue fringe hesitated for a moment before asking, ¡°Is what they said true or false¡­?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true!¡± Wang Xin, who had appeared in the restaurant at some point in time, said arrogantly. Hu Jian smiled: She is finally here. Just now, she was wondering if it would be disgraceful if she went confront Wang Xin. Now, she did not have to make such a choice. ¡°Hey, why is Wang Xin Here? Didn¡¯t she withdraw from school?¡± ¡°She¡¯s here for revenge. I guess Hu Jian used the aphrodisiac medicine on Wang Xin to threaten her because she found out that Hu Jian had the answer!¡± ¡°That Hu Jian is really vicious!¡± ¡°Think about it. How could ordinary people have such a thing as aphrodisiac medicine? It was only exposed the last time when she drugged Qiao Han.¡± ¡°I went to take a look today on the online platform. There are still answers to the competition question in her desk pocket that are not destroyed!¡± The people around were whispering again. Hu Jian heard everything they said. She raised her head and asked with a smile, ¡°Why is it Miss Wang¡¯s turn to take action personally? Where is Yang Si?¡± At the mention of Yang Si, Wang Xin¡¯s expression changed. ¡°What has it got to do with you?¡± Hu Jian propped her head up with her hand. ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just asking if she¡¯s alright now.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know if she¡¯s alright after you go and take a look later.¡± Wang Xin sneered. ¡°Now, let¡¯s talk about you copying the competition answers first!¡± Hu Jian peeled a prawn calmly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for me to copy the answers for an exam of this level. It¡¯s too easy.¡± When she said this, everyone was shocked. In this kind of Math Olympiad Competition, it was already a miracle if there were three to five good students in the whole school. Hu Jian¡¯s tone was so arrogant! ¡°Someone found the answer to the competition in your desk. You still refuse to admit it!¡± Wang Xin was so insistent on the evidence that Yang Si had placed in Hu Jian¡¯s desk. ¡°Why must the things in my desk pocket be mine?¡± ¡°Everyone was watching in the auditorium. There was a 360-degree surveillance camera with no blind spots. At that time, no one realized that I was copying any answers. Now it makes no sense to say that I copied after I got first place and made Class A embarrassed after the exam right? Besides, I¡¯ve never seen that answer before.¡± While saying it, Hu Jian¡¯s face did not turn red and her heart did not race. ¡°You really won¡¯t be convinced until you see evidence right. Okay, then let¡¯s go and verify the fingerprint on the answer.¡± Hu Jian said plainly, ¡°Sure.¡± Wang Xin led the way while Hu Jian followed behind. Cheng Weiyu knew that Hu Jian had touched the test paper previously.. She immediately panicked and asked softly beside Hu Jian, ¡°Isn¡¯t your fingerprint on it too?¡±
