"He Tiantian, you just arrived; do you have all your living supplies ready? If you’re missing anything, you can use mine!"
The speaker was a tall girl with short hair, standing well over 170 centiters tall, by the looks of it.
Just when He Tiantian had a dispute with Wu Xiaohan and Liu Qian, this girl was sitting by her desk reading.
The incident cald down quickly, and the dorm room returned to its peaceful state.
Wu Xiaohan swiftly organized the items piled on the vacant bed, while He Tiantian quickly climbed onto her bunk, spreading out her bedsheet and other bedding items.
However, when she got off the bed to wash up, He Tiantian seed sowhat hesitant.
Observing this, the tall girl took the initiative to speak to He Tiantian.
He Tiantian looked up and recognized the speaker as a classmate nad Zhou Zixuen.
Uh, that was slightly awkward, as Zhou Zixuen’s na, while different in characters, sounded similar to Zhou Zixuan.
It was like those na puns frequently discussed online, a whole array of similar-sounding nas like Zixuan, Zixuen, Zixuan, Zihan, Zi Han, Zihan, and the list goes on.
Apart from different surnas, boys and girls would be confused as if it were all the sa.
Zhou Zixuan and Zhou Zixuen beca a source of embarrassnt; they even shared the sa surna, leaving teachers and classmates in High School Grade 2 Class 7 sowhat bewildered.
To differentiate between the two, the teachers and students had no choice but to revert to the old thod: by age.
With Zhou Zixuan being two months younger than Zhou Zixuen, she was dubbed Little Zhou Zixuan.
And Zhou Zixuen beca known as Dazhou Zixuen.
The girls didn’t exactly share the sa na, but they were arbitrarily assigned a senior and junior status, as if they weren’t unique individuals anymore.
For adolescent girls, this caused so discomfort internally, and they looked at each other with slightly less favor.
Their personalities did indeed differ.
Zhou Zixuan was a quiet girl, gentle and graceful, the type that teachers and parents love.
Zhou Zixuen, on the other hand, transferred to the small county town due to her father’s job relocation when she was in middle school.
Based on her everyday dress, behavior, and speech, one could infer that Zhou Zixuen originally ca from a leading big city.
Her family’s financial situation also seed quite comfortable.
Zhou Zixuen was incredibly outgoing, sporting short hair and preferring androgynous clothing, presenting as a handso neutral beauty.
This kind of beauty might be seen as uniquely charming in big cities or to younger people.
However, in the more closed-off, traditional small county town, it stood out as sowhat unconventional.
Many older individuals disapproved of her, finding her androgynous appearance inappropriate for a girl.
Worse yet, she might be seen as a troubleso girl who mixed with the wrong crowd on the streets.
Even at school, there were whispers and rumors.
But Zhou Zixuen never cared; she was confident, cheerful, radiant, and lively, like a miniature sun exuding warmth and energy.
He Tiantian used to envy her and countless tis thought how wonderful it would be to be friends with soone like her.
Many girls and boys in the class liked to socialize with Zhou Zixuen, as no one would refuse the company of an honest, sunny classmate.
But Zhou Zixuan truly disliked Zhou Zixuen.
Perhaps it was the grudge of sharing a "similar na," or perhaps it was jealousy!
After all, if Zhou Zixuan could even envy He Tiantian for her timidity and lack of self-confidence, what was such a bright neutral beauty like Zhou Zixuen to her?
Zhou Zixuan more than once badmouthed Zhou Zixuen in her clique, calling her androgynous, tomboyish...
He Tiantian could only say that with so people’s hearts soiled, everything they see appears tainted.
"Thank you, I—I’ve run out of facial cleanser and forgot to buy a new one!"
He Tiantian knew Zhou Zixuen was kind and generous; during the argunt with Wu Xiaohan and Liu Qian when they spoke ill of her, Zhou Zixuen was one of the two who defended He Tiantian.
The other was Ma Siqi, who, although not as bold and distinctive as Zhou Zixuen, was also a kind-hearted and upright girl.
Another girl in the dormitory hadn’t spoken a word from the ti He Tiantian arrived at the door to when she argued with Wu Xiaohan and Liu Qian.
Her na was Chen Nan; she ca from a rural household, and she was quite introverted and sowhat self-conscious.
She spent her ti studying, dedicating up to eighteen hours a day to her studies from the twenty-four available.
Almost every mont, except for sleeping, she would be reading or morizing, never relaxing even while eating.
Naturally, Chen Nan’s academic performance ranked high in the class, but her reluctance to socialize made her seem sowhat lonely.
Had it not been for her good grades and the favor she had with the horoom teacher and the other teachers, her introverted and self-conscious nature might have made her a target for bullying like He Tiantian once was.
In the six-person dormitory, besides He Tiantian, there were five other roommates.
He Tiantian moved into the dorm on the first day and imdiately noticed that each of her roommates had their own unique characteristics.
Zhou Zixuen and Ma Siqi were the kind of kids who grew up in happy families, with right values and manners.
Wu Xiaohan seed like a pampered girl, clumsy and capricious, and very easily manipulated by others.
Liu Qian ca from a single-parent family, felt inferiority within herself, yet aspired to join cliques by jeering at and bullying those weaker than herself to fit in.
Chen Nan’s family appeared not very affluent, and sowhat favored boys over girls; she had reportedly fought hard to get the chance to attend high school in the county, so she treasured this opportunity and was like a walking study machine!
And He Tiantian, needless to say, had recently beco the most noticeable person in class.
She suddenly changed her hairstyle, trimming away her long, thick bangs to reveal delicate and radiant facial features.
Her skin was creamy, her eyes bright and teeth white, the entire person exuded confidence and composure from inside out.
Everyone in High School Grade 2 Class 7, including the teachers, never expected that this girl, who usually shrank into a corner, could be so stunning when she raised her head.
Not to ntion the boys in the class, always looking for chances to stealthily check out He Tiantian.
Even Gao Xiang, the heartthrob of the class, cast a few more glances her way.
This, as it seed, invited new troubles for He Tiantian.
One day, during her spare ti, He Tiantian was browsing Taobao on her phone.
Ever since He Tiantian had completely moved out of her aunt’s house and into the dorm, she discovered many items she needed to purchase.
So everyday items, she would buy from the supermarket or market outside school during lunch breaks or after school.
While for others, online shopping was more convenient.
Like a magical dormitory bed curtain, well, wanting a relatively private space ant you must install a curtain around your bed.
As Tiantian searched, she realized Taobao offered a wide variety of bed curtains.
There were all kinds of creativity and thousands of designs; you could only imagine, and the sellers would make it happen.
"... Class Ten’s Duan Nana said you seduced Gao Xiang and wants to confront you after school!"
Just as He Tiantian was seriously selecting bed curtain styles on Taobao, a soft voice suddenly reached her ear.
Tiantian quickly looked up and saw Chen Nan returning with a thick stack of exercise books.
Her seat was near the front, while Tiantian’s was in one of the last rows, so Chen Nan had specifically co over to warn her, "You have to be careful. If it’s too much, go talk to Teacher Fang!"
"Thank you, Chen Nan!" He Tiantian looked into Chen Nan’s eyes and sincerely said.
She felt another act of kindness – her student days indeed had ugliness, but they also had such small beauties.
"No, no need to thank !" Embarrassed, Chen Nan avoided He Tiantian’s gaze and hurried back to her seat to continue solving problems.
For soone like her, who couldn’t bear to waste even a second, making the effort to co and inform He Tiantian was quite rare indeed.
He Tiantian rembered this kindness from Chen Nan.
Duan Nana?
If Zhou Zixuen’s flamboyant personality made the older generation mistakingly believe she was a bad girl,
Then Duan Nana from Class Ten really fit the students’ description of a gang leader.
Bullying and extortion, all kinds of violent actions seed unfit for a girl her age.
But she did them all.
Only she was more covert, never showing off by taking photos or videos.
And students bullied by her were too timid to speak out.
Therefore, Duan Nana’s infamy spread only among the students, and teachers, at most, had heard rumors but lacked solid evidence.
"Student Xiao D, can you help ?"
He Tiantian had been bullied by Duan Nana before and had chosen to suffer in silence.
This ti, she would not yield, but Tiantian had to admit one thing.
Duan Nana had so justification to beco the school’s tyrant; she had practiced Martial Arts since she was young, so her punches and kicks were strong.
Although He Tiantian had ti-traveled through two book worlds, she had relied on her brains and her mouth; her Combat Power was genuinely not high.
Tiantian didn’t want to use the sa old charm and sweet talk on Duan Nana; she wanted to settle new and old scores with her once and for all!
"Keep doing missions. In the novel world, anything is possible!" Xiao D said slyly.
Looking at the class schedule, Tiantian found that the next class was a study period and also ti-traveling into the book world ant ti in the human world stopped.
Tiantian nodded, "Okay, I’ll do the mission!"
As the space before her twisted, Tiantian passed through a brief darkness; upon welcoming the light once again, she couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it! Xiao D, you tricked again!"
