Chapter 12: Beautiful Young Lady
To help her body recover as soon as possible, Xia Chenge formulated a series of exercise plans.
The next day, at six in the morning, she got up early to run.
After running one lap around the Xia family’s neighborhood, Xia Chenge felt exhausted, relying entirely on willpower to complete the remaining four laps.
Seeing that it was almost time for school, Xia Chenge chose a closer alley to go home.
Perhaps it was her good luck, but as she neared the Xia family’s residence, Xia Chenge actually heard someone speaking her name:
“That waste Xia Chenge is an eyesore to others. Someone offered a large sum, and we brothers are just taking the money to do the job! Don’t ask too many questions about the rest; it’s not for you to know!”
“Are we going to make a move now? As far as I know, that waste went to school by herself, so maybe this is an opportunity.”
“Act according to the situation. Only move when I tell you to!”
……
Xia Chenge quietly followed the sound and saw several men gathered, discussing how to kidnap her.
These people planned to exploit the original owner’s idiocy, tie her up in a deserted parking lot in the suburbs, and create the illusion that she got lost and starved to death, thereby escaping any charges.
Innocence is no protection against guilt; the ancients did not deceive! The original owner was merely born into the Xia family, yet it became a sin punishable by death… Xia Chenge’s eyes darkened.
However, who would want her gone? Was it Xia Minglan or someone from the Zhou family?
Xia Chenge did not alert them and quietly left.
——
Yan Sheng High School.
The previously noisy Class 2-F fell silent the moment Xia Chenge appeared, everyone staring at her with astonished eyes.
Xia Chenge was wearing clothes chosen by Ling Hanmu, her bangs swept up into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead. Although her complexion was pale, it did not detract from her exceptionally beautiful appearance:
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and beneath her curled eyelashes, her large, watery eyes seemed to speak, evoking affection; below her delicate, upturned nose were pink lips that were naturally rosy, and her skin was as fair as snow.
Her long, slightly curly black hair cascaded down casually, making her look like a living doll.
“Wow, is this a new transfer student?”
“Ahhh, she’s so beautiful and cute.”
“I really want to protect her, what should I do?”
……
After a brief silence, Class F erupted. Both boys and girls began to show favor to Xia Chenge, actively vying to be her deskmate, with some even asking if she had a boyfriend!
After the incident the day before, no one dared to sit with Xia Chenge anymore… But now? It truly was an era where looks mattered!
“I am Xia Chenge!” Seeing that there was no sign of things calming down, Xia Chenge finally spoke slowly.
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it reached everyone’s ears.
The noisy classroom instantly became deathly silent. Everyone looked at Xia Chenge in disbelief, unable to connect her with the cute doll-like girl before them.
“Hahaha, girl, you really like to joke.”
“You’re so beautiful, Xia Chenge doesn’t even qualify to carry your shoes.”
“You’ll know when Xia Chenge arrives later. Comparing yourself to Xia Chenge is an insult to you.”
……
The classmates kindly ‘reminded’ Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge found it ironic that everyone’s attitude had changed so drastically just because she had become beautiful.
Xia Chenge didn’t respond to their words, calmly walking to her seat and taking out her textbook with composure.
This time, the classmates became restless, exchanging glances.
“Are you really Xia Chenge?” someone asked, unwilling to give up. “Why would you say you are Xia Chenge? Is it because of Young Master Ling?”
Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow: “Yes, I am who I am, and I don’t change my name or surname!”
Class F was in an uproar.
No one was willing to believe that the foolish and ugly waste was the beautiful and lovely doll before them!
For a moment, everyone clutched their chests in disillusionment.
Xia Chenge couldn’t be bothered with them. As long as they didn’t provoke her, she would be harmless.
Although she had forgotten many things from the Apocalypse, as an Evolved Human from the Apocalypse, her learning ability was super strong, and her memory was unparalleled. Even reborn, she had an absolute advantage in this era.
Just by looking through these textbooks, the content was as if scanned into her brain, stored securely, and then integrated. She had also learned many things in the Apocalypse. The only subject that required effort was Chinese language.
“Xia Chenge, someone is looking for you.” As soon as the morning reading class ended, someone shouted from the classroom entrance of Class F.
Xia Chenge looked over, but the person had already run off. She smiled slightly and ignored it.
The classmates looked at her with complex expressions, still unwilling to associate her with Xia Chenge.
A moment later, another girl ran to Class 2-F: “Xia Chenge, someone is looking for you downstairs. They want you to go down immediately.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl was pulled aside.
Eight burly vocational high school boys arrived menacingly.
“Who is Xia Chenge?” the leader asked, scanning Class F with arrogance. “Get out here quickly, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
The students of Class F all looked at Xia Chenge.
“Me!” Xia Chenge stood up.
The vocational high school boys’ eyes lit up, and they all stared at Xia Chenge in a daze:
“Didn’t they say Xia Chenge was foolish and ugly? How is she so beautiful?”
“Boss, did we make a mistake? Is such a cute girl really Xia Chenge?”
“Girl, we’re looking for Xia Chenge.”
Xia Chenge’s expression remained unchanged: “It’s me.”
The vocational high school boys looked at each other again:
“Boss, should we still make a move?”
“She’s so beautiful, I can’t bear to.”
“Let’s go, boss. It must be a mistake.”
“Xu Jingyun sent you, didn’t she?” Xia Chenge said unexpectedly. “If you leave like this, are you worthy of her?”
These words successfully brought the vocational high school leader back to his senses. He waved his hand: “Attack! So what if she’s pretty? She’s just had plastic surgery!”
Saying this, he was the first to charge forward with a baseball bat, swinging it at Xia Chenge’s desk.
The students of Class F gasped, but it was too late to stop him. They could only watch as the baseball bat descended.
In the blink of an eye, a change occurred.
Xia Chenge directly reached out and grabbed the baseball bat, holding it in mid-air. The vocational high school leader’s face changed drastically; he couldn’t budge it even a bit.
The vocational high school leader regained his senses and, realizing he had lost so much face, became enraged: “Attack! Kill her.”
“If you’re so capable, do your parents know?” Just then, a clear voice rang out, and Ling Hanmu appeared in the Class F classroom with a chilling aura.
Upon seeing Xia Chenge’s appearance, Ling Hanmu was stunned. A clear look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he was momentarily lost in thought. Then, Xia Chenge merged with the vague image of the little girl in his memory.
“Young Master Ling!” Seeing this, everyone in Class F respectfully called out.
Ling Hanmu withdrew his gaze and coldly looked at the vocational high school leader: “This Young Master heard that you are causing trouble in this Young Master’s school and are trying to hit my little brother?”
