Chapter 147: Change[2]



"True, but which class do you think she\'ll be in?"

"Who knows? Even if she ends up in my class, it\'s not like we\'ll really interact."

"Ha! Acting all indifferent, but deep down, you\'re thrilled, aren\'t you?"

During the break, the students were abuzz with chatter about Xia XiaoXi. Everyone was surprised she chose to attend this school.

What they didn\'t know was that this had all been arranged in advance.

To Xia XiaoXi, however, this was simply inevitable.

She needed to stay in this area for a while, and when her family asked her to pick a nearby school, her first thought was of \'that boy\'.

Xia XiaoXi was curious---just who was he?

---

In the principal\'s office, the principal smiled warmly at the girl sitting before him.

This was the school\'s golden ticket. With Xia XiaoXi here, they\'d have a campus idol! Imagine how much easier it would be to attract new students with her on their roster.

Sitting on the couch, Xia XiaoXi kept her posture straight and proper. However, her mind was already wandering far away.

She was eager to see that boy and give him a little surprise. Too bad her attendance here had already been exposed; otherwise, she\'d have loved to give him a proper scare.

The man sitting next to her spoke with the principal, finalizing her class placement and requesting the school ensure her safety. After all, keeping her enrollment a secret was nearly impossible.

"I\'ll let the new student council president show Xia around campus," the principal suggested.

The office door opened, and a boy with a warm smile walked in. His first glance at Xia XiaoXi left him momentarily awestruck, but he quickly regained his composure, exuding gentlemanly charm.

"Hello, Xia XiaoXi. I\'m Han ShuYi, the student council president. Pleased to meet you."

"Wait, isn\'t your student council president a girl? And a pretty famous one at that?"

Xia XiaoXi blinked, tilting her head. Han ShuYi paused and explained, "President Ye is studying in JingDu and won\'t be back until next semester."

"President Ye? Wait a second... is her name Ye QiuXue?!"

"...Yes."

Han ShuYi found Xia XiaoXi\'s reaction peculiar. Did she know Ye QiuXue?

Xia XiaoXi\'s expression shifted to surprise. She had never imagined that the girl she saved that day would turn out to be this school\'s student council president!

She didn\'t say anything about this. She had to interrogate Ye QiuXue about this.

Pulling out her phone, she fired off a message to Ye QiuXue, completely ignoring Han ShuYi\'s attempt to guide her.

Han ShuYi stood frozen, unsure how to react.

The man beside Xia XiaoXi sighed but didn\'t stop her.

In his eyes, as long as Xia XiaoXi wasn\'t breaking any laws, she could do as she pleased.

Watching her, Han ShuYi couldn\'t help but feel a faint admiration stir in his chest.

This campus idol was undeniably unique---full of personality and youthful energy, unlike any girl he had met before.

[What a remarkable girl.]

Han ShuYi thought to himself.

---

Outside, a soft drizzle fell from a gloomy sky.

Ye QiuXue\'s grandmother looked at her sitting by the door, her face tinged with helplessness.

Since QiuXue\'s return, she had been like this---lost in thought whenever she wasn\'t working.

Though she hadn\'t pressed her for details, it was clear something was weighing on her mind.

"XiaoXue, come inside."

Grandma\'s voice called out, and Ye QiuXue stood up, a faint smile lingering on her face.

But seeing her granddaughter like this only deepened Grandma\'s concern.

She reached out and held Ye QiuXue\'s hand gently, her voice soft with care.

"XiaoXue, did something happen at school? Or... is it your father?"

"Huh? No, nothing like that. I was just thinking about something," Ye QiuXue quickly replied, realizing she had made Grandma worry.

"Did you meet any interesting classmates? If so, you can invite them over to our house sometime. I just hope they won\'t mind our place."

"He probably wouldn\'t mind," Ye QiuXue blurted out, but her words hung in the air, and she froze.

Slowly raising her head, she found Grandma looking at her with a knowing smile.

Though Ye QiuXue hadn\'t said a name, her reaction betrayed her thoughts.

Grandma couldn\'t help but be curious---just who was this person who occupied her granddaughter\'s thoughts so completely, even after coming home?

Still, Grandma braced herself for any possibility. If it turned out to be a girl, that wouldn\'t be unacceptable either.

She\'d heard about a girl from the neighboring village bringing another girl home as her partner---it nearly drove that family insane.

But Grandma didn\'t care about such things. As long as her granddaughter was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Well, when there\'s a chance, why not bring him by?"

"Maybe... someday."

Ye QiuXue\'s gaze dimmed slightly. Grandma didn\'t know that the person in question would never come.

He had promised to visit this place, but in the end, he broke that promise.

She\'d heard it was because he sacrificed himself to save Han ShuYi. Perhaps, to him, it was a form of release?

Ye QiuXue couldn\'t understand HuMing\'s thoughts in his final moments, nor what went through his mind as he gave his life. If only... if only he were still here.

"Grandma, when I leave for JingDu, please take good care of yourself. If anything comes up, call me, okay?"

Ye QiuXue wanted to leave this place, even if just for a while.

Those memories... she would treat them as a beautiful dream.

"Alright, alright. Just make sure to call Grandma regularly, okay?"

The young girl was about to embark on her first journey, carrying her luggage toward the unknown.

Lee Tian gripped Han ShuYi\'s throat tightly, cutting off his air.

Han ShuYi\'s face turned purple, his struggles were getting weaker.

Lee Tian\'s mouth spewed taunts as he clung to his captive, the sound echoing above the cliffs.

Suddenly, HuMing\'s figure appeared from the edge. He lunged at Lee Tian, grabbing his arm tightly.

In Lee Tian\'s hand gleamed a sharp dagger.

HuMing forced a difficult smile, casting a glance toward the group watching helplessly.

"Sorry. Does this repay my life?"

With those words, his body plummeted backward, taking Lee Tian with him into the abyss.

Finally, someone in the crowd screamed.

"Brother, no!"

She knew it was all a nightmare. If only time could reverse, if only this were just her imagination...

Han YunXi slowly opened her eyes, tears trailing down her cheeks without realizing it.

A sliver of sunlight streamed through the gap in her curtains as a gentle breeze swayed the fabric.

Lying on her bed, she stared blankly at the ceiling.

But, this time, it was no nightmare.
