Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!

The Gu Family’s business has gotten on track.

Gu Xiaoqing’s school life has also seen the arrival of the first-year final exams.

This is her last exam of the first-year high school at City No. 1 High School.

At the same time, Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan are also graduating.

This year, Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan have been admitted to a famous military technology university in the city and are about to leave here.

Gu Xiaoqing still has two years to study here.

Fang Shaonan is very worried about Gu Xiaoqing; in the heart of an eighteen-year-old boy, he has an indescribable, elusive affection for Gu Xiaoqing—it’s something he can’t articulate, but he just wants to see this girl, see her happy smile, see her stubborn determination, and that once deeply memorable courage and fierceness.

Fang Shaonan hasn’t expressed these feelings, but they exist in his heart.

But Gu Xiaoqing seems to have never felt this way; she always interacts with Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan like buddies—cheerful, devoid of the shy awkwardness typical of girls.

This is what frustrates Fang Shaonan.

Bai Zhongyuan seems to have the same feelings, probably only Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan harbor such thoughts.

Both are waiting, waiting for the day Gu Xiaoqing gets into college, when she would be eligible to have a chance at a romantic relationship.

At this moment, any romantic factors would make things difficult for Gu Xiaoqing, and it is not allowed by the school.

For this reason, Fang Shaonan is very concerned that after he leaves, no one will take care of Gu Xiaoqing, so he purposely told Gu Xiaoqing to seek his second brother Fang Shaohan if she encounters any difficulties; this year, his second brother has transferred back from Beijing due to a leg injury and has already settled here.

He’s been placed in a position at the Provincial Public Security Department—it’s unclear what kind of position but presumably not a minor rank.

Seems like he’s some kind of leader in the criminal investigation team.

Regardless, Fang Shaonan is uneasy letting others take care of Gu Xiaoqing, so he entrusted this important thing in his heart to Fang Shaohan.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t care because she hasn’t met Fang Shaonan’s older brothers, only heard about them.

She wouldn’t possibly bother them with personal matters unless it’s a huge issue.

She didn’t take it seriously at all.

She had no idea that Fang Shaonan was incessantly urging and advising Fang Shaohan upon leaving, almost to the point of being beaten by Fang Shaohan.

Primarily because someone constantly nags next to people’s ears like the Monk Tang from "A Chinese Odyssey," driving people crazy.

Gu Xiaoqing doesn’t know she’s regarded by Fang Shaohan as synonymous with femme fatale, almost directly classified as a vixen misleading his younger brother.

If she knew, Gu Xiaoqing might cry to death.

She hasn’t shown any signs of vixen potential in two lifetimes.

Moreover, Fang Shaohan’s frustration with Gu Xiaoqing stems more from his parents, who talk about Gu Xiaoqing daily, turning her into a role model for educating them.

Most of the lectures are directed at Fang Shaonan, but with Fang Shaohan back home, he inevitably gets affected as well.

Thus, this resentment before even meeting is something Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t possibly know about.

Gu Xiaoqing enjoys her wonderful school life, though it’s not entirely smooth; for instance, Guo Donghua in the dormitory constantly causes trouble for Gu Xiaoqing.

Initially, Guo Donghua always bragged about her family’s good circumstances, bringing a large bag of various edibles every time she returned on Sundays.

They were fresh treats.

Since Guo Donghua’s father is a diplomat, he often mails foreign food or chocolates to the family, which the kids have never seen before.

Unavoidably, there’s a hint of boasting.

Others are easily swayed, somewhat currying favor with Guo Donghua—who wouldn’t want to take advantage?

Plus, Guo Donghua enjoys the attention and favoring atmosphere around her.

Unfortunately, the person she most wishes would fawn over her doesn’t do so.

That’s Gu Xiaoqing and He Min.

Gu Xiaoqing, having lived through two eras, isn’t impressed by the novelties that Guo Donghua and the girls adore or desire—it’s not something remarkable in her eyes, even if she didn’t taste it in her past life, she’s seen it before—no big deal.

For example, those chocolates; Gu Xiaoqing has eaten them in her past life, nothing extraordinary.

Thus, she’s genuinely unimpressed.

He Min comes from a high-ranking family, with her siblings studying abroad, lacking nothing; if she wants something, she can have as much as she desires—so it doesn’t affect her.

Consequently, a frequent sight in the dormitory is four girls huddled around Guo Donghua asking about curiosities, chattering while flipping through Guo Donghua’s bedside things, while the two girls on the side are quietly discussing their own matters.

This year, He Min has changed greatly; she’s transitioned from her formerly plump figure to diligently losing weight, wishing she could slim down to match Gu Xiaoqing’s appearance in a day.

It’s all driven by a girl’s vanity and desire for beauty.

Gu Xiaoqing helped by suggesting several diet plans, although she didn’t endorse He Min’s fasting approach, believing exercise would be safer and more effective.

Therefore, every morning and evening, two figures appear on the running track—Gu Xiaoqing sacrificing her time for He Min, going above and beyond.

However, the most surprising thing in their dormitory was the arrival of the owner for the bed that no one had lived in since the end of first grade, at the beginning of second grade.

She was a beauty resembling the dolls on posters.

On her arrival day, which was the first day of school, everyone in Gu Xiaoqing’s dormitory was tidying their things.

After all, a summer had passed, and the dormitory items gathered dust, needing cleanup before inhabitation.

This little beauty appeared at that time.

Accompanied by two men in black suits and sunglasses.

Along with a woman resembling an aunt.

The trio almost immediately started bustling upon entering the dormitory.

First, seeing the last top bunk near the door, the fifty-something woman frowned, then assessed the dormitory before directly approaching Gu Xiaoqing and He Min.

"Girls, this is our Miss, your new classmate. She previously suspended school for a year due to health issues. You see, she’s not very well, making climbing difficult. Could you possibly consider switching spots?" Though polite, the gaze was laden with command, almost ready to move Gu Xiaoqing’s belongings away.
