Si Nian had just walked out of the gates of No. 2 High School when she sneezed.

Rubbing her nose, she wondered who was thinking about her again.

She casually looked up and glanced across the street, only to freeze in her tracks.

She saw Lin Sisi, who had recently been released from prison, walking out from inside. Beside her was a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher.

Si Nian immediately withdrew her gaze, adopting an “out of sight, out of mind” attitude, and pretended not to see them.

Lin Sisi did not notice her, but the teacher beside her did see Si Nian.

He frowned subconsciously because Si Nian had previously called the school mentioning her desire to repeat a year, and he had refused to accept her.

If he would not accept her, the other teachers naturally did not dare to accept her either.

But he never expected to see Si Nian at the gates of No. 2 High School.

No. 2 High School and their school had never gotten along; they were close in proximity and were rivals.

However, they had always been overshadowed by their No. 1 High School.

It had always been the students of No. 2 High School desperately trying to get into their school. There had never been a case of their school’s students settling for No. 2 High School.

Because that was something that would be mocked.

Yet Si Nian had actually gone to No. 2 High School, which made the homeroom teacher suddenly feel a loss of face.

She had already married and become a stepmother; how did she still have the nerve to come to school? Was it not good enough to stay at home, serve her husband, and raise children?

An ordinary marriage would be one thing, but she was someone’s stepmother.

She really was not afraid of making a fool of herself.

He could not help but shout, Si Nian, stop right there.

Si Nian was just about to go squeeze onto the bus and was a bit bewildered to be called out to.

Turning around, she saw that it was the male teacher next to Lin Sisi.

Hearing this voice, Lin Sisi was also stunned for a moment, then abruptly turned her head.

This was the first time the two had met since her release from prison.

Lin ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‍Sisi’s gaze changed a myriad of times in an instant, looking extremely complicated.

Her eyes swept over her—that stunningly beautiful face, that graceful figure, that head of long, black hair…

There was not a single part of her that she did not envy.

Her hair had been cut short after she entered prison. Although it had grown out a bit now, it was still short, incredibly ugly, making her look like a tomboy.

Because of this, she wore a hat every day, not even daring to go see Fu Yang and the Fu family, terrified that her current appearance would disgust them.

But seeing the bright and captivating Si Nian here now, the mental fortress she had built for herself instantly collapsed.

Why did she get to live so well?

But then Lin Sisi raised her chin again, determined not to bow her head in front of Si Nian.

She feigned surprise and said, Sister Si Nian, why are you here?

Then she pretended to glance at No. 2 High School behind Si Nian and exclaimed in surprise, Are you at No. 2 High School? Why did you not come to No. 1 High School? I heard you are also taking the college entrance examination this year, and I was hoping we could study together.

Sure enough, Teacher Chen’s expression beside her grew even uglier.

Si Nian, did you really go to No. 2 High School? He had only been guessing initially, because Si Nian had always been very proud in class and had a strong sense of self-esteem. Logically speaking, it should have been impossible for her to go to No. 2 High School.

Was this not bringing shame upon herself?

Si Nian had no memory of this man, but judging by his tone and attire, she could roughly guess who he was.

She stood firm and said, What is wrong with me going to No. 2 High School, sir?

As expected, Teacher Chen’s face darkened further, and he immediately scolded, How can you be so worthless? Of all the places you could go, you just had to choose No. 2 High School. Our school and No. 2 High School have always been rivals. Are you trying to ruin my reputation?

Then, thinking of something, his tone became even gloomier: You are retaliating against me for not accepting you, so you deliberately went to No. 2 High School to anger me, right?

Si Nian looked baffled, but she also confirmed the identity of the teacher in front of her.

So this was the original owner’s homeroom teacher whom she had called earlier.

However, the other party had explicitly rejected her at the time, refusing to accept her.

He was the one who refused to take her in. Why was he blaming her for going to No. 2 High School now?

Teacher Chen, please do not be angry. Sister Si Nian probably could not find anywhere else to go and had no choice but to go to No. 2 High School.

Teacher Chen snorted coldly and said, Transfer schools immediately. Our college entrance examination center is at No. 2 High School this year. You can go to any school, but do not come to No. 2 High School. Otherwise, if the other teachers see you here, how will I, your homeroom teacher, ever save face?

It would be fine if it were anyone else, but it just had to be Si Nian.

Si Nian used to be as beautiful as a flower, a top student, the English representative, and the face of the school. Because she was so pretty, she had hosted many events.

During high school, she had stolen all the limelight.

The teachers at the school… let alone the teachers, even the principal knew Si Nian.

Once upon a time, Teacher Chen had been proud of this student. Who knew that she would give up an easily attainable future for love? He had been extremely angry to begin with, and later, when Si Nian wretchedly became the stepmother to an old man in the countryside, he found it even more disgraceful.

Teacher Chen was a person who cared deeply about face. Naturally, he could not let her embarrass him at No. 2 High School.

Si Nian looked at Teacher Chen with an incredibly absurd expression and asked, Who are you?

Teacher Chen said angrily, I am your former homeroom teacher. Do not tell me you have forgotten me too?

Si Nian let out an Oh and said, So you are my former homeroom teacher.

She emphasized the word former heavily. Your tone made me think you were my parents, trying to control wherever I go.

The implication was: Whether I leave or stay, is it any of your business?

Teacher Chen’s face turned green.

He pointed a trembling finger at the gates of No. 2 High School. Do you know where this is?

Si Nian replied, No. 2 High School.

Teacher Chen: … I am asking, since you know this is No. 2 High School, why did you still go in? Do you not know that No. 2 High School is our school’s rival?

Si Nian rolled her eyes at him dramatically. They are your rival, not mine. What the hell does that have to do with me?

Teacher Chen: You, you are truly ab… absurd.

Lin Sisi said anxiously, Sister Si Nian, stop talking. Are you trying to anger Teacher Chen to death?

Si Nian: If I had that ability, I would anger you to death first.

Lin Sisi: …

Lin Sisi thought: Fine, fine, fine. You are really not leaving me any face at all.
