CH 1

The ancient umbrella-shaped camphor trees on both sides of the schoolyard were tall and green, and the hot wind was enveloped with the sound of cicadas.

Today was the school midterm exam.

In the rightmost classroom on the fourth floor, students were writing in full speed.

The moment Lu Wan opened her eyes, her pupils trembled. She looked around and found that everyone was still doing questions.

Nothing really happened.

She had finished anwering the math test papers early, but the teacher did not allow them to hand it in advance, so Lu Wan simply laid on the desk and took a nap.

She looked at the time. Only fifteen minutes had passed since then.

Sure enough, it was that dream again.

She dreamed that she was falling continuously, and the feeling of weightlessness was like ice water pouring into her lungs, tearing through her chest.

Recently, Lu Wan has been having the same dream where she jumped dozens of floors.

In her dream, she was a ruthless jumping machine.　

Lu Wan dreamed that the world she was in now was actually a campus novel called <<The Overbearing School Hunk: Fierce Love>> by Mary Sue.

And that she herself was the villainess in the novel –the vicious female supporting character.

One must know that as a vicious female supporting character, there must be a rough psychological journey to pave the way for the sharp and crazy jealously towards the female lead in the later period……

Lu Wan’s parents –to be precise, her adoptive parents were very patriarchal.

It was a pity that the couple only has one daughter, so there was not much they could do in this regard.

After all, this daughter was bought with money.

The couple couldn’t have a child, so fifteen years ago they planned to spend money to buy a son.

At that time, they saw that the goods from the human traffickers were indeed boys. But when the couple came home, they found out that the one they had brought with them was one without a handle (one without that)!

The other party had switched them halfway and they were cheated! At that time, the sellers had already disappeared, so they could only grit their teeth and accept this money-losing goods.

She didn’t know whether her adoptive mother wanted to make up for the regret or to please her husband, thus she raised her up as a boy.

Lu Wan’s household registration for the most part of her childhood was ‘male’. Perhaps because the registration control was not strict at that time, or the couple might have had some connections.

But fortunately, pretending to be a man was not difficult for her.

In the past ten years, Lu Wan has been very successful in acting. She even thinks that being a man is quite good, saving a lot of trouble in various things. For example, the probability of running into weird people was much lower.

Throughout her childhood, Lu Wan was chased with a broom by the ‘Drunkard’, and passers-by would often remind her that there were shoe prints on the back of her clothes.

Before going to school, Lu Wan thought that all her friends were like this. Later, she found out that it was not the case at all.

The fathers of other children would not drink excessively or curse others, and other children would not be beaten when they asked for food if they were hungry.

Since that was the case…… Lu Wan was through.

She began to resist, and it soon escalated into fisticuffs with the Drunkard.

In this prolonged free fight, both sides were injured.

Lu Wan has accumulated vast practical experience. She is bold and dare to fight with children two years older than her in primary school. She was also not limited to species, but even dares to fight with dogs.

She was a devil incarnate who can beat a dog.

When she was a little older, Lu Wan became famous for her expert skill in ‘daring to use the soles of her shoes to massage her father’s whole body’.

Neighbors often had mixed feelings. If the Lu family’s boy hadn’t fallen in love with learning, then he would have become a deadbeat in the future. A prison reserve ah!

When it comes to what advantage Lu Wan has, it was that, she’s very good at studying.

She was always fighting with bastards but still first in every exam.

Since she was a child, she had never spent any money from her family for her studies. In high school, her tuition fee is free and there’s a thousand yuan reward per semester, but she has earned it all by herself.

If this were not the case, she would not be able to study any further.

The Drunkard would not spend money to send Lu Wan to school. He hadn’t worked for ten years and his family’s income was supported by women alone.

Lu Wan’s adoptive mother was a silent and submissive woman. She set up a stall at the intersection to sell pancakes from morning to night.

It was small business but the income was still considerable. However, the money in her hand was always snatched by the Drunkard and used for drinking and gambling.

Every time he took the money, it was accompanied by insults, punches and kicks. Chickens fly and dogs jump at their home (a scene of panic and chaos).

Lu Wan used to think before that if life went on like this, she didn’t know whether the Drunkard will kill her, or she will kill the other person first.

Fortunately, the Divinity was not too bad to her. That guy died in front of her.

In the second year of Lu Wan’s junior high school, the man suffered from alcohol poisoning and did not survive.

After so many years of family struggle, the Drunkard really died, and her adoptive mother’s spirit collapsed.

After a few years delay, she died three months ago.

Following the death of her adoptive mother, Lu Wan began to have those absurd dreams.

But at the end of the day, it was only a dream, and Lu Wan didn’t care too much. Until three days ago…… when a man came to the door.

The other party claimed to have been sent by her grandfather, saying that she was the granddaughter of the Zhao family who was lost years ago and that they wanted to take her back.

Only then did Lu Wan knew that her biological parents were someone else!

Somehow…… it suddenly matches the beginning of the dream!

Lu Wan recalled the plot of that dog blood campus novel.

The female lead was kind of a bug in Noble High School. Although she was born in poverty, she has perfect personality and charm. She does not play the card according to common sense and her unique style has attracted countless high-quality men.

Although she has been calculated by all kinds of rich ladies and coquettish bitches, the female lead was invincible because of the protagonist’s halo –in every sense.

And as a cannon fodder who dared to steal the female lead’s man, Lu Wan has a miserable end.

She was the bulldozer in the story; constantly picking on the female lead and making various frame-ups. But not only was she met with failure every time, it even promoted the emotional development of the female lead with various men instead.

After playing the role of a tool, besides losing her reputation, she had unexpectedly became addicted to drugs.

In the end, she jumped from a high-rise building, bringing her career as a tool to a close.

Lu Wan: “……”

This motherf*cking story is too poisonous ah!

The male and female leads were always abusing people with dog blood every day and still have time to study?

They were all high school students but in comparison, she goes to class every day, does homework and part-time job. She lives a three-point-one-line life (going to school, after school, and going home after school; monotonous life)…… like a boring silent film.

She cannot afford to provoke nor avoid them?

She does not want to be the comparison for the protagonist’s happiness and became someone who used viciousness and intellectual disability to reinforce the female lead’s kindness in all kinds of situations, or tear the female lead down and crazily pestering the cool male lead while pretending to be pure.

The ‘little white rabbit’ can enjoy being bullied…… pressed on the wall, pinched on the waist and do spontaneous CP kisses! It has nothing to do with her!

Lu Wan only wanted to study and get into a good university. Everyone should just mind their own business.

——

When Lu Wan walked out of the school gate, she saw her little buddy on the beverage shop across the road from a distance.

But before she could reach the sidewalk, a car stopped by the side of the road.

The window opened and she saw the driver, who was the same person that came to see her the day before yesterday.

Zhang Weidong has been in Ning County for three days. He was entrusted by the Zhao family to take home his master’s granddaughter who was lost outside.

How should he put it? He was very disappointed when he first saw Lu Wan. Sure enough, the impact of the environment on a person is very important!

Not to mention that this rich lady doesn’t look like a woman at all.

It’s so bizarre. The granddaughter of the Zhao family was raised as a boy for more than ten years?

Zhang Weidong thought, I don’t know if there is something wrong with her head……

Anyway, being recognized back, this kind of life also counts as ruined ba.

The other party had quickly accepted his story without being too surprised.

Zhang Weidong felt that this was normal. She had been living a hard life, and suddenly flew to a high branch and became a daughter of a rich family.

It’s like winning the lottery jackpot. There was not enough time to feel happy, but no one will refuse ba!

The Zhao family told him that in order to avoid any complications, the sooner he could bring the person back, the better.

But this one is really ‘good’. Saying that one should finish what one started, and to at least wait until the mid-term exam is over.

Zhang Weidong spent two days waiting and now had a bellyful of complaints. She hasn’t come back yet, but she was already putting on the airs of a young lady.

Did she deserve it? It’s just dumb luck. She really doesn’t have any self-awareness.

He was not an idler who has a lot of time.

Zhang Weidong’s impatience was evident. He frowned and said, “Since the exam is over, let’s go now ba.”

Lu Wan was stunned. “Now? It’s already afternoon. Let’s go tomorrow. I still have something to do and I haven’t packed my luggage yet.”

“You still have something to do? Do you know what the Zhao family represents? Don’t bring your junk, either. You can buy new ones when the time comes. You wouldn’t lack that little money. Small-minded people are truly unsuitable for public eyes.”

The people of the Zhao family have been pressing him. Zhang Weidong was anxious and didn’t speak too politely.

Is there something wrong with her brain? He was going to take her back to enjoy a luxurious life, but she was still dawdling.

——

Xu Yao waited for a long time but didn’t see Lu Wan coming over, so he frowned and decided to take a look.

He happened to hear this sentence.

He knew that Lu Wan had found his biological parents and estimated that he would leave in a few days, but he didn’t think it was with this kind of attitude?

Xu Yao got angry and kicked the car door. “What the f*ck did you just say? Try saying it again.”

He used his full strength and the position where the car was kicked became a little dented.

Zhang Weidong was about to explode with anger but the silver-haired youngster in front of him was taller and stronger……  He looked like a tough guy.

……He was certain that he was no match for him.

He turned his head to look at Lu Wan and snapped, “Do you usually associate with these kinds of people? You are stooping so low! Really a ‘barren mountains and turbulent rivers’ (poor places yields terrible people).”

Lu Wan was baffled.

Ning County was not like the big cities but it was definitely not in line with the ‘barren mountains and turbulent rivers’. Although the county was located in a mountainous area with verdant hills and limpid water (magnificent scenery), it has abundant underground mineral resources. There were several mineral reserves that were very rich and the economic development was great.

She didn’t want to cause trouble, but she didn’t have the patience to listen to someone’s lecture. She said in a cold voice, “If you cannot wait, then you can go now. Give me the address and I’ll take the train myself.”

Zhang Weidong almost exploded with anger. Take the train? Is this person stupid?

He wanted to pull the other person’s collar to knock some sense into his head, but the silver-haired boy next to him was full of hostility. He didn’t want to bother with this punk.

He threw the sentence “I’m too lazy to tell you” and angrily left.

Hehe. What an ignorant hillbilly. He doesn’t know how much of a fool she would make of herself in the future, so he’ll just wait to watch the fun.

———

After the uninvited guest left, Lu Wan turned her head and said, “Come on, I’ll treat you today. Let’s go to the barbecue joint where I usually work.”

“He had said all that but you’re still in the mood to eat?”

Lu Wan: “I specially asked the boss to save the good stuff. There is only some of the cow parts at hand.”

Xu Yao was still angry but his attention was instantly distracted by her words. “A pizzle? Are you trying to compensate for what you lack?”

Lu Wan: “Get lost! Its beef tongue! Grilled beef tongue!”

“……Oh.”

Xu Yao shrugged his shoulders. He cannot be blamed for misunderstanding. Lu Wan never joined in the boys’ ‘size comparison’ activities, and he goes alone to the bathroom every time.

Even he hadn’t seen it! So…… does Lu Wan have some unmentionable disease? That thing doesn’t work well ah?

However, this is about a man’s pride. Although Xu Yao was curious, it’s not good to ask too many questions and exposed his good brother’s shortcomings.

The two of them arrived at the barbecue joint.

Today was the weekend and the snack street was crowded with people.

Lu Wan chose a position facing the street and sat down. The view outside was good. Now that the weather was getting hotter, girls in cool clothings formed a beautiful scenery, which was pleasing to the eye.

Xu Yao saw that Lu Wan’s line of sight kept following the beautiful girl passing by. He joked, “You look really greedy for other people’s body.”

Lu Wan: “Get lost!”

She was not greedy for other people’s body, but greedy other people’s skirts.

Xu Yao pursed his lips. He knew that Lu Wan liked to look at beautiful women, but that was all.

After all, Lu Wan has been chased by girls since he was a child. And as his friend, he was always asked by girls with “What is the name of your handsome friend?”

Yet he has never seen this guy had a girlfriend.

In all fairness, Lu Wan looked really gorgeous.

The bridge of his nose was straight and his eyebrows were full, but the curve of his chin was sharp and three-dimensional. The daintiness was weakened and there was more of an unconstrained heroic spirit.

Beautiful, but not effeminate.

His face was good-looking so he also looked good in everything. The vest that Lu Wan was wearing today was bought at a street stall. His shirt was also very cheap and the light blue jeans had been worn for several years that it was almost white.

But he had a clean and neat appearance, and cheap things could not hold back his prominence.

Xu Yao: “Is that person earlier reliable? Don’t blame me for speaking badly. They haven’t seen you for so many years but your parents didn’t come to pick you up and instead sent that prick. I’m afraid that this is not right.”

Lu Wan took a sip of water and slowly said, “Since I have found them, I should still go and see them.”

Xu Yao frowned. “Fine. You can come back if there is a problem.

That’s right! You can also come back if you’re feeling uncomfortable there.

Your grades are so good; the school will definitely welcome you.”

Lu Wan nodded. Although they were usually out of tune with each other, they were still indeed real friends.

Who could have imagined that from someone who was trying hard to secure her personal gains and earn money, she would become the lost daughter of a wealthy family overnight?

Lu Wan had her own plan in mind. She couldn’t always pretend to be a man ba.

After her adoptive mother passed away, she wanted to change back her gender, but she hadn’t carried it out yet. One was because of her bizarre dreams. The second was…… she was not sure how the people around her would react when they knew it.

This time she was recognized by her biological parents and can at least smoothly go back into being a girl without making the people around her feel weirded out.

At the very least, there was no way she would not be allowed to study there ba.

In another year, she will take the college entrance examination. If they really can’t get along with each other, it’s not a big deal for her to live alone afterwards.

She will go to a good university and chose a major with good prospects.

She wouldn’t have to worry about supporting herself.

———

Lu Wan went home at half past ten in the evening when all the shops along the road have all closed.

A new store had opened at the end of the street and there were many flower baskets placed by its door. When Lu Wan passed by, she pulled out a yellow carnation and stuck it beside her ear.

Using the glass door as a mirror, she looked at herself and tilted her head around.

As a girl, I should not be considered ugly ba.

At this time, the streetlights all suddenly went out and only the lights of the nearby billboard were left to illuminate the surroundings.

It’s just that the wiring of the billboard lights has poor connections and it keeps blinking and flickering.

Lu Wan looked up at the conspicuous billboard.

This person…… was the shared boyfriend of the girls in their class. The girls talked about him every day, such as what magazines of him to buy, his endorsements, and his whereabouts. They spend their whole day obsessing about him.

He was talked about a lot so Lu Wan knew him too.

Lu Buyu became famous when he was young. He returned to the country and made a fire debut. The first TV series he appeared in has unexpectedly high viewer ratings and he had steadily and surely rose all the way to the top. Now he was not only super famous but had also won many awards. He has been a guest performer on the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years.

His appeal towards the common people was unique among his peers.

It seems like he’s a big hit. Even a small town like theirs have his billboard.

Not to mention…… under the light of this horror-movie-like atmosphere, the brother’s face didn’t collapse.

With red lips and white teeth (a metaphor for a beautiful face). He looked really good. No wonder he’s so popular.

Lu Wan retracted her gaze and walked forward while lost in her own thoughts.

She didn’t notice that under the shadow of the billboard lights, a young man was standing nearby.

The man pursed his lips; his eyes following her all the time.

He has the same face as the model on the billboard.
