After entering the book, I no longer want to be a substitute

The moment he hung up the phone, Yunxiu directly put the other party on the blacklist.

Zhou Xi saw it clearly and felt his head was swelling.

Yunxiu knew what this guy was thinking. She simply didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Que, and she didn't want to create the misunderstanding that she only cared about Zhou Xi.

After finishing the meal, Yunxiu didn't want to stay any longer. She packed her phone and stood up to leave, "Let's go back."

Zhou Xi listened to the familiar tone, but he felt uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Yunxiu shouldn't be like this. What happened to her these days? She just attended a banquet, but she changed so much when she came back. She still looked like Meng Yao, but there was no longer any care for him in her eyes.

Not only was Meng Yao's concern gone, but even Yunxiu's own concern for him disappeared completely.

Yunxiu ignored the man's daze, shouldering her backpack and leaving. Those around her who knew her, probably because they'd read about her beating Cheng Yan on the school forum, all looked at her with disdain, pretending to hide away, as if Yunxiu would just grab any passerby and beat him up.

Yunxiu just wanted to study hard right now. As long as these people didn't deliberately find fault with her, she didn't bother to pay any attention to them.

Zhou Xi quickly caught up and caught Yunxiu on a tree-shaded path.

This was simply idiotic. Yunxiu was so exhausted that he barely suppressed the urge to hit him. "Can you please let me go first?"

The boy ignored this and tightened his grip on her hand. Yunxiu pursed her lips in impatience.

It’s the same expression again. Meng Yao wouldn’t be like this, and Yun Xiu would definitely not be like this.

Hadn't she always been smiling in front of him before, trying to please him? Why did he suddenly hate her?

"What's wrong with you? What's making you unhappy or dissatisfied that you have to be so stubborn with me?"

Yunxiu broke free from him without a second thought, and immediately regained her voice, saying, "Need I say more? I can't do this now that I'm sober. I'm deliberately pretending to be Meng Yao, not because she's so good, but because it allows me to get closer to you."

She didn't give Zhou Xi a chance to speak, and continued, "But what good is it to be close to you? All I get is endless abuse and malice, and I lose myself. I'm a human first, and Yunxiu second. I don't want to live this humble and disgusting life anymore, okay?"

Yunxiu finished speaking in one breath, pulled his hand back forcefully, turned around and left.

Zhou Xi didn't want to believe this. This woman had loved being close to him since she was born. For so many years, she had been around him every day. How could she suddenly become unwilling?

He strode after her, but this time he didn't resort to violence, instead launching a verbal attack. "Alright, your old tricks don't work anymore. You want to try a different way to attract my attention, right? Are you really that into playing hard to get?"

Yunxiu rolled his eyes so hard that he almost burst out. What was there to like about such a person? Yunxiu was also stupid. It would be better to steal a pig and kill it to eat.

"I don't understand what you want," Yunxiu paused and said to him, "Do you want me to play Meng Yao to remember her, or do you want me to continue to be the Yunxiu who is obsessed with you?"

Zhou Xi was stunned by the question. In fact, he had never thought about this question before.

After Meng Yao disappeared while in distress abroad, everyone assumed she had met with misfortune. For the first month, he and the Meng family refused to accept this cruel reality. They repeatedly communicated and cooperated with local police and government, conducting extensive searches, but without fail, nothing was found.

She seemed to have disappeared overnight and never appeared in the public eye again.

There is currently no definite conclusion as to the truth behind Meng Yao being kidnapped by a certain organization.

However, in this situation, she is a delicate and weak girl, and the possibility of survival is almost zero.

Even so, Zhou Xi was unwilling to believe that she had passed away. Unlike Shen Qun and others, he did not have a heavy filter for Yunxiu's stand-in. He rarely hugged Yunxiu and called Yaoyao's name like Shen Qun did. At most, he would just look at Yunxiu's face and listen to the voice that was similar to Meng Yao's.

It was okay at first, and I felt that my body and mind were comforted, but as time went on, I felt more and more uncomfortable.

Yunxiu had already run away, leaving Zhou Xi alone there, lost in thought.

……

Everyone arranged their own evening study schedule in the classroom, and Yunxiu and Cheng Yan were taken to the office by Xu Lianhui for education.

After saying a lot of things, Xu Lianhui patted Yunxiu's hand and said, "Although you used to like to play around, your grades were pretty good. If Zhou Xi is willing to take you with him, you can ask him for advice. It should be no problem for you to get into a good university."

Yunxiu said yes while flipping through his report card. He was surprised to find that the original owner had a good learning ability. Except for physics and chemistry, which were slightly weaker, all other subjects were above the passing line.

In the most recent final exam, I scored over 120 in English.

For someone who's completely absorbed in makeup and silly men, she's quite capable.

Cheng Yan took a quick glance at Yunxiu's report card, felt his face flush, and quietly put his own away.

The two came out of the office one after another, Yunxiu in front and Cheng Yan behind.

However, Cheng Yan soon caught up with Yun Xiu and asked in a low voice, "How did you know about that incident of mine?"

It's strange. Last year, he was invited to a KTV by a homosexual dressed as a woman, which almost ruined his innocence. He was obviously the only one who knew about it. How did Yunxiu find out about it?

Could it be that this woman can read minds?

Yunxiu said in a calm voice, "Relax, no one else knows except me."

Cheng Yan was a little embarrassed by being hit in the heart, but his hatred was greater than the sky at this moment, and he said stubbornly, "Who cares about you keeping a secret for me..."

Hearing him say this, Yunxiu thought this guy was quite interesting. "Really? Then why not just post it on the school forum?"

Cheng Yan surrendered immediately, almost kneeling down before her, grabbing her clothes and refusing to let go. "No, this is too embarrassing. Can't you just leave me a way out?"

"You change your expression quite quickly." Yunxiu smiled calmly, as if there was no personal grudge between them.

Cheng Yan felt guilty after being looked at. His hands froze and he let go of her clothes. "So, how did you know that?"

Yunxiu said with a half-smile, "How you knew is not important. What's important is how you can make me keep my mouth shut."

Cheng Yan hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say. Yunxiu gave him a look that said "go play somewhere else" and went back to the classroom.

Zhou Xi was quite attentive and brought over all the review materials without missing a single one and arranged them neatly.

Yunxiu packed up his things, flipped through the progress pages of the review books for each subject, glanced at them twice, and then closed the book.

Just like the world she was in before, the review books always contained dry theoretical explanations.

Not to mention the poor students, even the top students are too lazy to watch it.

Yunxiu has been sloppy for twenty-two years. Although his life is very boring, fortunately he has outstanding achievements and has been sought after and envied by many.

It’s just senior year of high school, just college.

It's not a difficult thing for her.

Yunxiu directly took out the exercise book, threw all the reference answers into the desk, and started writing mathematics and physics first.

Her university major was more towards literature, and she had a strong muscle memory for Chinese and English, so she basically didn't have to put any effort into them.

I have forgotten some of the science knowledge, but I will naturally remember it by flipping through the book and doing more questions.

There were less than forty minutes left before the end of the self-study session. Yunxiu buried his head in his work. The faster he wrote, the more he felt like he had regained the feeling of doing exercises back then.

It’s like going back to the days when I was a top student.

She studied quietly, but others did not have this mentality. Most of the young masters and young ladies in this class were just idlers. Studying was just the most boring pastime for them, not a shortcut to a better future.

Cheng Yan looked back many times, hoping to see her fiddling with cosmetics as usual, but he didn't see her. Instead, he was so stimulated by Yunxiu's serious look while writing the questions that he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

Lin Momo had almost finished tearing up her dictation book, still furious. Xu Wenting finished her homework for the day, looked up at her, and reminded her, "If you're not convinced, you can just beat her up instead of taking it out on an unconscious homework book."

Lin Momo's eyes almost popped out. Xu Wenting had no background at all. She was just a poor, wild girl who got in based on her grades. Why did she always look down on her?

She really relies on her good relationship with Meng Yao and thinks she is half a rich lady.

Lin Momo turned around and threw the torn homework book on Xu Wenting's desk. "Stop meddling in other people's business. Don't think I don't know what kind of a bitch you are."

Xu Wenting remained calm and didn't even look at her. She put the scraps of paper into the trash bag bit by bit and continued reading.

……

Yunxiu took advantage of the crowds of people leaving school at night and slipped into the crowd and ran away. Zhou Xi searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her, like a headless fly. Finally, after calling her to confirm that she had left school and gone home, he was so angry that he smashed his phone to pieces.

As soon as Yun Xiu stepped into the Yun family's living room, she was blocked by Yun Lin. Before she could react to what was happening, she heard a muffled sound exploded in her ears, accompanied by the sound of a wooden stick falling to the ground.

"Get out of here! Why should I ask you to protect her? This ignorant evildoer deserves to be beaten to death."

Yun Zaiguo blurted out a string of excited and angry words. Yun Xiu tilted her head to look at him, then quickly retracted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Her tone was calm and she was not afraid. Yun Lin did not receive the familiar hug and help. For a moment, he forgot what to say and just stood there in a daze.

In this moment of stunned silence, Yun Zaiguo came over angrily, pulled Yun Xiu away from his arms roughly, and slapped her.

Yun Lin suddenly woke up and raised his hand to stop Yun Zaiguo, but the girl reacted faster than him and grabbed Yun Zaiguo's wrist, preventing the slap from falling on her face in time.
