With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

A commotion broke out downstairs in the girls' dormitory.

When Shen Ci came out, the students who had been watching made way for her, and all sorts of eyes fell on her.

At the University of Science and Technology of China, Li Xiao was quite famous because of his family background, but Shen Ci was no less so.

She was beautiful and intelligent. When freshmen registered, her photos were posted on the campus forum, causing quite a stir online. She was hailed as the new goddess of pure desire by the male students at the university.

Many male students from various departments of the school tried every means to get close to her and launched a fierce offensive against her. Li Xiao was one of them.

Shen Ci nodded. The scene from that day was still vivid in her mind. On that day, Li Xiao was waiting downstairs at the girls' dormitory with a bouquet of roses, just like today. Even the onlookers were almost the same group of people.

Upon seeing Shen Ci appear, Li Xiao greeted her with a joyful expression.

"Shen Ci, I'm sorry. I apologize on behalf of my mother for what she did today. Please don't be angry."

Shen Ci expressionlessly raised his hand, and the black garbage bag, stuffed full of trash, magnified in front of Li Xiao before being smashed directly into his face.

The weight of the huge bouquet of roses caught Li Xiao off guard, and the flowers and the garbage bag all fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes widened, and their previously different gazes all turned into shock.

Shock was mixed with a bit of doubt.

"What is Shen Ci doing?"

"Did the two of them have a fight? Shen Ci's expression doesn't look right!"

"Are they breaking up? They've only been dating for less than six months, haven't they?"

Whispers began to rise, and everyone started speculating about what had happened between the two.

Shen Ci's actions just now showed no mercy to Li Xiao. With so many people watching, Li Xiao was somewhat embarrassed.

But he held back. Seeing that Shen Ci was about to leave without saying anything, he didn't bother to pick up the things on the ground. He took a step forward, grabbed Shen Ci's hand, and whispered to her in a pitiful tone, "You're not really disappointed in me because of what happened last time, are you?"

"I was so nervous that time, please give me another chance? I'll definitely do better next time!"

Shen Ci pushed him away, then looked at Li Xiao and curled his lips into a disdainful sneer.

Her eyes, expression, and even that sneer were full of mockery and contempt.

He didn't say a single word, yet it seemed like he said everything.

Li Xiao frowned in anger and impatience, his mind filled with confusion.

What does she mean?

However, Shen Ci did it on purpose. She wanted to cause internal strife in Li Xiao, to keep him guessing, and to make him torment himself.

Just like how he treated her back then, he stole her paper, put his name on it, and published it without a word of explanation. Three years of relationship ended with a cold red exclamation mark, making her never feel romantic love again for the rest of her life.

She no longer believes in love.

Shen Ci entered the dormitory building without looking back. The onlookers didn't understand what was going on, but they could sense that the two seemed to have ended things.

Li Xiao clenched his fists, turned around and squatted down to pick up the fallen roses and the trash bag. His face gradually darkened in the shadows, his eyes flickering, unfathomable.

"Shen Ci, you really don't know what's good for you. Li Xiao is such an outstanding guy who is willing to be with you, but you don't appreciate it at all."

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Yu Xinxin crossed her arms and leaned against the balcony door, making sarcastic remarks to Shen Ci.

Her tone was filled with undisguised glee. Her jealousy of Shen Ci had been brewing for a long time. She had always considered herself to be quite good-looking since she was a child, and she had started to dislike Shen Ci for no reason the first time she saw her face when she entered university in her freshman year.

Relying on her relatively well-off family background, she would give her two roommates small favors on a regular basis, and then she would win them over to isolate Shen Ci.

"What does my business with him have to do with you?" Shen Ci looked at her coldly. "Do you taste the septic tank every time it passes by your house?"

As she spoke, Shen Ci couldn't help but sneer, walking up to Yu Xinxin and saying, "You don't think that just because I broke up with him, you have a chance, do you?"

"I'm telling you, that's impossible. Like you said, even if I didn't want Li Xiao anymore, there are plenty of girls who like him. You wouldn't even get a chance to be gang-raped!"

With just a few words, Yu Xinxin's fragile heart was shattered.

Her eyes widened in horror as she screamed, "Shen Ci, you bitch, I'm going to tear you apart today..."

"Snapped!"

A clear, crisp slap rang out, and Yu Xinxin covered her throbbing face in disbelief: "You...you dare to hit me?"

Shen Ci looked at her coldly: "I've wanted to hit you for more than just a day or two. You should know how much your mouth deserves a slap, right?"

Wang Hou and Lin Shuang were also dumbfounded. The two stood there speechless, completely overwhelmed by Shen Ci's aura at this moment, and forgot to react.

The next second, Shen Ci's body suddenly leaned forward, and his handsome yet cold face magnified in front of Yu Xinxin, causing her to subconsciously stagger back two steps and almost scream out in surprise.

"From now on, remember to keep your mouth shut in front of me."

Yu Xinxin trembled, because she felt that Shen Ci in front of her was like a completely different person.

Shen Ci didn't say anything more, but casually pulled out a suitcase from the corner, opened it, and packed all the useful things from his seat into it.

Finally, he left behind a cold and aloof figure, turning away from dormitory 309 without looking back.

At the most luxurious five-star hotel around the university, Shen Ci showed his ID card at the front desk: "One executive king room, thank you."

The receptionist on the evening shift was a handsome young man. Seeing that Shen Ci was pretty, he kindly reminded her, "Beautiful lady, you can book online now, it will be cheaper."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci glanced at the list price on the wall behind her; the list price for the executive king room was 0.1888 yuan.

Less than two cents.

"No need, just open it for me." Shen Ci was too lazy to do it and just wanted to go back to her room to rest as soon as possible.

The young man at the front desk smiled awkwardly, but still kindly upgraded Shen Ci's room.

No matter the time, being beautiful always has some advantages and gives you some extra privileges.

The executive king room was transformed into an executive suite. After entering the room, Shen Ci locked the door from the inside and placed a water glass on the doorknob, a habit she had from her previous life.

She doesn't know when it started, but she began to feel extremely insecure, especially in unfamiliar environments.

The bright and clean floor-to-ceiling windows allowed her to overlook the luxurious night view of Longcheng. She took out her phone and opened the "Time Bank" app again, staring intently at the balance inside.

After a long while, she finally smiled.

Regardless of the reason for this situation, she is very satisfied with it.

She finally has a chance to start over with all the wrong choices she made in her past life, the regrets that she will carry with her for life, and the words she never spoke.
