After a moment, two figures walked out from the little forest, one behind the other.

When the other three men who were squatting and smoking a cigarette saw this, they were startled for a moment and hurriedly threw away their cigarettes. Then, they walked towards them with smiles on their faces.

“Brother Feng, have you done it?”

“Of course he’s done it! Brother Feng, should we refer to her as our sister-in-law?”

“Hehe… Hi, Sister-In-Law!”

“Hi, Sister-In-Law!”

Youfeng quickly took a glance at Su Junxin’s direction through the edge of his eyes, but he only saw that she still had the same calm expression on her face with slightly curled lips. In fact, there was a deep, meaningful smile within it. 

When he recalled how he was like a pig in a slaughterhouse where he was completely under her control a few minutes ago, a chill ran down his spine, and he became even more frightened.

Then, he raised his slightly sore arm and smacked the man who had first called her Sister-In-Law on the head.

“What nonsense are you on about!? You should be calling her Boss!”

When the other three heard that, they were instantly stunned as they stood on the spot, dumbfounded.

It was not until that moment that they had just noticed that Youfeng’s expression did not seem right. There was even a purplish-red laceration mark on his neck.

When they turned around to look at Su Junxin again, not only did she look completely calm, but even her clothes were tidy. 

Before they even managed to ask anything, Youfeng spoke with a deep voice, “From today onwards, she’s my boss, that means she’s your boss as well, understand?”

Amongst the three of them, the one with the quickest reaction immediately realized what was happening and bent over to give Su Junxin a 90-degree bow.

“Understood, understood! Boss Su!”

The other two men followed suit with a dumbfounded expression on their faces.

Su Junxin curled her lips into a faint smile.

“Right, got it. However, you don’t have to address me like that in school next time.”

Youfeng silently rubbed his arm, which was still suffering from the sharp pain. When he heard that, he hurriedly followed up and said, “Do you hear that? Boss Su wants to keep a low profile in school. So, when you guys head back, tell the others to see me if there are any issues. Don’t disturb her!”

The three of them were utterly dumbfounded because they had never seen their boss being so miserable before. However, they nodded their heads without hesitation.

…

By the time she returned home, Su Junxin laid on her bed from exhaustion.

The moment the tightly pulled rope relaxed, the body that was forcefully holding on instantly lost its support.

She began to hallucinate that there was darkness before her eyes, so she closed her eyes to take a few deep breaths before she slowly raised her hand.

Her white fingertips glowed reddish under the light and were shaking at a rather high frequency.

As she rubbed her two fingers together, a silver light flashed.

Su Junxin was slightly startled as she lowered her hand to look at the chandelier above her. Suddenly, she could not help but laugh.

‘I’ve been standing at the peak for too long; I’ve almost forgotten how it feels to have my superpowers completely exhausted.’

‘Who would’ve thought that this reincarnation would make me relive that once again.’

‘I’ll acknowledge that Youfeng was an extremely strong opponent. If I didn’t use my superpowers today, there’s no way I would’ve defeated him.’

As she relieved the moments when she had brawled with Youfeng, she slowly analyzed her body’s shortcomings. Then, she unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

…

During the two days over the weekend, Su Junxin had locked herself in the basement.

After working tirelessly, she had finally drawn out a complete blueprint for her safe zone.

The moment she laid down, she slept until the following day. She changed into her uniform and jogged to school as usual.

However, she soon discovered something strange.

On that day, she seemed to be garnering attention from every corner.

Countless gazes would come at her from her surroundings, causing her to be unable to ignore them. Hence, Su Junxin stopped and raised her eyes to glance around coldly. 

Those probing gazes instantly receded. 

Then, she turned around to look at Qin You and spoke up.

“Qin You, why are there so many people looking at me today?”

Qin You raised his head and revealed a surprised expression on his face. “I thought you’d know!”

“Know what?” She frowned subconsciously.

Qin You then took out his cellphone from his pocket and handed it to her after tapping a few times.

“There, it’s because of this.”

On the screen, there was a web page opened with a line of words artistically typed in gold on top of the page. ‘The 11th Annual Selection For Most Pretty Woman in South City’s Shi Yan High School’.

Below the headline, it was the ranking status via votes, and Su Junxin’s name and photo were listed at the top rank.

‘This photo was obviously taken in secret; it was taken during the first day of school while I was wiping the gangway in the corridor.’

“There are quite a number of people who pay attention to this. Now that you’ve become the prettiest woman in school this year, it’s only natural that everyone’s curious about you,” explained Qin You. Then, he suddenly changed the topic and asked with a smile on his face, “Junxin, who do you think the most handsome man in our school this year is?”

Su Junxin receded her gaze, which was originally on the screen, and scanned his face.

After a moment, she replied, “I’m guessing it’s you.”

Qin You instantly smiled so much that his eyes curved at its corners. “Correct! You really do think I’m handsome as well, Junxin!”

She did not deny what he had said and returned his cellphone before sitting upright.

She poked her paper with the tip of her pen a few times as she hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still could not help but speak up, “Qin You, could you… address me as something else?”

Qin You was startled for a moment, and his smile immediately receded. He blinked his eyes in confusion. “What’s the matter? Can I not call you by your name?”

Su Junxin pursed her lips and frowned. “I find it a little weird… it feels a little too intimate to be addressed that way.”

“But friends are supposed to have intimate relationships,” interrupted Qin You. “You clearly said I’m special, but do I not even have the right to have a unique way of addressing you? Or do you actually think that… I’m not worthy of having an intimate relationship with you?”

Su Junxin choked for a moment and noticed that Qin You’s eyes began to turn red again. Instantly, she knew that things were going bad and hurriedly tried to coax him.

“Don’t misunderstand me; I’m not implying that you’re not worthy.”

She then sighed helplessly. “It’s actually all my problem; I’ve never been addressed like this in the past, so I’m having trouble getting used to it for the time being.”

Qin You blinked his eyes for a moment and quickly calmed his emotions. He then reached out a hand to hold onto hers.

“Then, let me be the first person, alright?” He said softly.

His voice was so gentle.

She lowered her eyes to look at their hands which were being held together, and instinctively wanted to retract hers; however, when she suddenly recalled Qin You’s illness, she finally decided to endure it.

When she raised her eyes to meet the pair of eyes which looked exactly the same as Cloud’s, she could not help but become soft.

“Fine… But you must promise me that you’ll only address me like that privately. If there are others around, you’ve got to call me by my full name.”

Qin You immediately nodded his head ferociously.

…

After finding out that she was receiving attention because she had been selected as the prettiest woman in school, Su Junxin ignored the gazes that were sizing her up.

After submitting her script for the All-English Competition to Jiang Rushi’s office for her review, she headed to the washroom right away.

Nevertheless, right after she unlocked the cubicle’s door, she suddenly heard her name being called, and Su Junxin instantly froze.

“Do you know Su Junxin from the second year?”

“The new prettiest woman in school? What about her?”

“She… She’s an orphan! Her family even owes a huge debt!”

“What? Are you sure?”

“Lower your voice, what if there’s someone here…”

“What’s there to worry about? Don’t you see that every single cubicle door is green? There’s definitely no one here!”

Su Junxin’s eyes were fixated on her cubicle door that had been unlocked; she faintly raised her eyebrows.

The few voices continued to speak, “Hurry up then, what’s Su Junxin’s situation exactly?”

“On the day the voting results were revealed, someone anonymously revealed that Su Junxin’s mom had passed away when she was a few years old. Previously, she didn’t look pretty at all, so she forced her dad to borrow from loan sharks so that she could get plastic surgery. In the end, because he wasn’t able to clear up his debts, her father committed suicide!”

“Hiss… Is that true? Are you sure it isn’t just rumors?”

“Of course it’s true! Many people in our school know about this! That post has already been deleted, but it’s a good thing I’ve taken a screenshot of it… Here, this is Su Junxin’s photo in her first year. Don’t you think there’s too much of a difference compared to how she looks now?”

“She really does look different, but then again, it doesn’t seem like there’s actually that big of a difference…”

“Medical beauty is very advanced now; it’s only normal not to be able to find any traces!”

“Now that I think of it, she keeps a cold face every day. Do you think it’s because she’s done so much plastic surgery that she can’t express any emotions now?”

“Hahahaha, that’s possible!”

“That’s so funny. If the bunch of guys who voted for her finds out that the icy woman they’ve been worshipping was actually a failed plastic surgery case, I think they’re…”

“Ka-cha…”

A sudden noise came from a cubicle door.

The entire washroom instantly became so silent that you could even hear a pin drop.

Su Junxin slowly opened the door and walked out.

She then turned her gaze to look at the three women who were talking.

Then, she raised her lips to reveal a huge and gentle smile. However, there was a cold light flashing beneath her eyes as she calmly spoke.

“I thought it was only those sharp-tongued middle-aged women from the countryside who would gossip about others behind their backs. Who knew that these kinds of people have actually managed to wriggle their way into a high school.” 

She paused for a moment before lowering her eyes to heave a sigh. Then, she turned away to walk out.

“Sigh… What a tragedy.”
