Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

Lin Ruofei frantically searched every corner of the campus, her beautiful eyes revealing anxiety and unease.

From the teaching building to the playground, and then to the cafeteria, she couldn't find that familiar figure—Zhou Jianfei. Finally, just when she was about to give up, her gaze fell on the quiet entrance of the library.

She gently pushed open the door and cautiously walked into the library...

Rows of bookshelves stood neatly arranged, exuding a faint scent of books. Lin Ruofei's eyes quickly scanned each desk, and finally, she spotted Zhou Jianfei engrossed in his studies in a corner.

She slowly walked to Zhou Jianfei's side and said softly, "Zhou Jianfei, let's go outside and talk." Although her voice was not loud, it carried an unyielding firmness.

However, Zhou Jianfei merely raised his head slightly, glanced at Lin Ruofei in front of him, his face expressionless, and coldly replied, "Class is about to start, I don't have time to talk to you." After saying that, he lowered his head again to continue reading his book.

Lin Ruofei didn't give up. She looked around at the students who were immersed in the sea of ​​knowledge, a cold smile appeared on her lips, and she said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want me to say this here?" Her words seemed to carry a certain threat, forcing Zhou Jianfei to re-evaluate the classmate he didn't like.

After a brief silence, Zhou Jianfei seemed to realize that things might be more serious than he had imagined. He hesitated for a moment, put down his pen, stood up, and silently led Lin Ruofei out of the library. They walked until they reached a secluded corner outside the library before stopping.

Before Zhou Jianfei could even open his mouth to speak, Lin Ruofei raised her eyebrows and widened her almond-shaped eyes, interjecting sharply before he could, "Why did you set up a scheme to frame Gao Qiang for stealing the exam paper? Wouldn't it have been better to defeat him academically on your own merits?"

Faced with Lin Ruofei's relentless questioning, Zhou Jianfei seemed somewhat guilty, his eyes darting around as he stammered, "What... what nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean at all."

However, Lin Ruofei didn't stop there. She stared intently at Zhou Jianfei, her gaze sharp, and continued, "Stop pretending! That red ribbon you used to tie the exam papers was clearly the one I gave you before. So, there's no doubt you stole these exam papers!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianfei's face turned deathly pale, but he still tried to remain calm and deny it: "Hmph, these red ribbons are sold everywhere in the school store, so why are you so sure it's the one you gave me?"

Lin Ruofei sneered and confidently retorted, "Stop trying to argue! I carefully pierced a series of interconnected, heart-shaped holes on this red ribbon with a blue ballpoint pen. Such a unique design is one of a kind in the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jianfei's body trembled noticeably, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, clearly indicating that he had lost his composure.

Actually, when he hid those test papers under his bed, he was extremely flustered and only wanted to make them more conspicuous. So, in his haste, he pulled out the red ribbon that Lin Ruofei had given him, which was originally used to tie up the chocolate bags, from his schoolbag. He never expected that this small action would leave such a fatal flaw, and now Lin Ruofei had seen through it.

Time ticked by, seemingly frozen in the suffocating atmosphere. After a long while, Zhou Jianfei finally broke the silence, but his voice, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, was filled with resentment and bitterness.

"I...I'm not reconciled!" he muttered to himself, each word feeling like a heavy hammer blow to his heart. "Why? This Harvard University spot should have been mine! That guy who always gets first place has gone crazy and stopped coming to school. Logically, first place should definitely be mine this time. But...but how did Gao Qiang suddenly appear and get first place again?"

Zhou Jianfei became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his hands clenching into fists involuntarily, his body trembling slightly. Lin Ruofei stood quietly to the side, her beautiful eyes fixed on the nearly frenzied Zhou Jianfei, but she remained silent.

"I've put in so much effort, studying from dawn till dusk every day, never resting on holidays, devoting almost all my time to my studies. But what's the result? No matter how hard I try, I can only ever be second, forever that damned 'eternal runner-up'! Hahaha..." At the end, Zhou Jianfei burst into wild laughter, the sound echoing in Lin Ruofei's ears, particularly jarring.

However, at this moment, facing Zhou Jianfei, who was already out of control of his emotions, Lin Ruofei still stood quietly in place, as motionless as a statue.

The once burning passion she had for Zhou Jianfei had vanished like smoke, leaving no trace. Lin Ruofei's clear, autumn-water-like eyes were now devoid of any emotion, only cold indifference.

She parted her lips slightly and said coldly in a tone devoid of any warmth, "You, come with me to the principal's office and tell him the truth." After saying that, she turned around without hesitation and walked forward with firm steps.

"Lin Ruofei, please... I really can't do this! Absolutely not..." Seeing that Lin Ruofei was unmoved and didn't even stop for a moment, Zhou Jianfei was extremely anxious. He quickly caught up with her and opened his arms to hug her slender waist tightly from behind.

Feeling the person in his arms stiffen instantly, Zhou Jianfei took a deep breath, suppressing the nausea rising in his heart, and forced himself to continue, "Actually, you've always liked me, right? In that case, if you can agree to help me completely cover up the matter of this exam paper, I... I'm willing to be your boyfriend. How about it? This deal should be a good one for you, right?"

"But you don't like me, do you?" Lin Ruofei asked coldly, her expression stern and her words chilling.

"I will do my best to gradually fall in love with you, I mean it." Zhou Jianfei slowly leaned close to Lin Ruofei's ear, his gentle voice whispering softly like a spring breeze.

"Unfortunately... I have always despised despicable people." After uttering these words softly, Lin Ruofei resolutely broke free from Zhou Jianfei's tight embrace.

“Gao Qiang was framed by you on purpose. You must clear his name.” Lin Ruofei’s gaze was as firm as a rock, and her tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Ruofei no matter what he did, Zhou Jianfei's face instantly darkened: "If I refuse to admit it, your testimony alone is not enough to prove that I did it. You know, there is absolutely no evidence to prove that I stole the exam paper. I know very well that the surveillance cameras in the archives building were broken for half an hour at the time. As for why the cameras were broken, I think you should know better than I do, right?"

"You..." Lin Ruofei suddenly realized. Last night's encounter in the bathroom was no accident. Zhou Jianfei must have overheard her phone call with her brother, learned that she was going to the archives building, and then secretly followed her.

While I was reviewing Zhang Yang's information on the second floor, Zhou Jianfei was probably stealing exam papers on the first floor. The gatekeeper was most likely the first to spot Zhou Jianfei, and the Zhou Jianfei I encountered in the restroom was only a step ahead of me.

“Go tell the principal!” Zhou Jianfei appeared remarkably calm at this moment. “As long as I firmly deny it, you can’t do anything to me. Moreover, if you admit that you also secretly went to the archives building, you will most likely be expelled from the school.”

"Who says I have no evidence?" Lin Ruofei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. She slowly and calmly took out her phone from her pocket, her movements elegant and composed, as if she had everything under control.

Then, she gently shook the phone in her hand and said in a calm but slightly sarcastic tone, "This little phone has a recording function!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jianfei's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. He stared wide-eyed at the phone in Lin Ruofei's hand, inwardly cursing the situation.

Suddenly, as if he had gone mad, he lunged at Lin Ruofei recklessly, attempting to snatch the phone from her hand.

However, Lin Ruofei was prepared, and faced with Zhou Jianfei's crazy actions, she did not hesitate or back down at all.

Just as Zhou Jianfei was about to rush in front of her, Lin Ruofei flashed forward, then quickly raised her right foot and kicked out with lightning speed.

With a muffled thud, Lin Ruofei's foot landed squarely on Zhou Jianfei's abdomen.

The kick was so powerful that Zhou Jianfei felt as if a huge rock had hit his abdomen.

In an instant, an incredibly powerful impact swept over him, causing him to lose his balance and fly backward like a kite with a broken string. As the distance increased, Zhou Jianfei's body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Just wait and see what the school's harsh punishment will be like!" Lin Ruofei glared at the other person, uttered these harsh words, then abruptly turned and strode away. Her steps seemed hurried, as if a fire of anger was burning within her.

On the way to the principal's office, Lin Ruofei quickly pulled out her phone from her pocket and expertly dialed her brother Lin Ruoxuan's number. Once the call connected, she eagerly recounted the entire incident to Lin Ruoxuan.

All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was Lin Ruoxuan's indignant voice: "I told you long ago, that kid is no good at all, but you just wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on liking him! Now look what you've seen!"

Faced with her brother's accusations, Lin Ruofei felt a surge of grievance. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Who could have known that Zhou Jianfei could be such a complete scumbag?

"Brother, if I really tell the school the whole truth, then the school will definitely notify my parents to come to the school. At that time, my fact that I have been disguised as a boy to attend school will be completely exposed, and I will no longer be able to hide it. But... but I really can't bear to see Gao Qiang's life ruined because of me!"

Hearing his sister's kind thoughts, Lin Ruoxuan's tone softened slightly: "Little sister, since you've made your decision, then go for it. No matter what, your brother will always stand by your side and support you!"

After receiving encouragement and support from her brother, Lin Ruofei calmed down a bit. She hung up the phone with Lin Ruoxuan and quickened her pace, rushing towards the principal's office.
