Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

As the school anniversary season came to a successful close, the school, as usual, gave students a few precious days off to relax and rest. Only two days into the holiday, Lin Ruofei received a call from her parents—the three shareholders of the company were hosting a family gathering, the purpose of which was naturally to further strengthen their friendship.

Lin Ruofei and her brother Lin Ruoxuan sat facing each other in the room, their expressions serious, discussing the current situation for a long time.

"Brother, what if Wang Yuanpeng's son really is Zhang Yang? What if he recognizes me?" Lin Ruofei asked her brother with a worried expression, her brows furrowed and her eyes revealing a hint of fear and unease.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ruoxuan comforted his sister, saying, "Don't worry too much, Feifei. Just go see them looking the way Mom dressed you up last time. Remember to wear that wig; it should help conceal your identity and make it harder for others to discover your true identity."

However, Lin Ruofei did not seem to be completely relieved. She continued to ask with concern, "But, brother, will Sun Jianni keep bothering me? What if she deliberately causes me trouble?" The thought of being harassed by Sun Jianni made Lin Ruofei even more flustered.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxuan quickly offered advice to her sister: "Don't be afraid, Feifei. Try to stay away from Sun Jianni as much as possible and don't give her any chance to cause trouble. If you really can't avoid her, stay calm and don't easily get into a conflict with her. I believe that as long as we handle things carefully, there won't be any major problems."

After a long and intense discussion, the brother and sister finally reached a consensus—that is, to "respond to each move as it comes"!

If it is definitively proven that Zhang Yang is indeed Wang Yuanpeng's biological son; or if Li Jiani and her brother attempt to use some insidious and cunning tricks to deal with them, then no matter what the situation, they will react quickly according to the actual circumstances. They will never sit there foolishly, watching the other side make a move without doing anything, surrendering and waiting to be slaughtered.

The day of the three families' gathering finally arrived! Around noon, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains onto the bed, waking Lin Ruofei from her sleep. She quickly got up, washed up, carefully selected her clothes and shoes, and then meticulously combed her wig in front of the mirror.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruofei's parents and brother Lin Ruoxuan also got dressed, and the family of four went out to the agreed hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel's private room, they discovered they were the first to arrive. So, they chose a spot with a good view and bright lighting to sit down.

Lin Ruofei sat quietly in the chair, fiddling with the lace trim on her dress, her eyes glancing towards the door every now and then, her heart filled with unease.

Not long after, clear footsteps echoed down the corridor, growing louder as they approached. Lin Ruofei's heart skipped a beat; she knew guests had arrived. Sure enough, the door opened gently, revealing Sun Jianni and her family. Sun Jianni was wearing a blue princess dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, looking incredibly cute; her parents, beaming with smiles, greeted Lin Ruofei's family as soon as they entered the private room.

Sun Shengli's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell directly on Lin Ruofei. He strode towards Lin Ruofei, a bright smile on his face.

Lin Ruofei was indeed exceptionally eye-catching today. She had specially worn an exquisite long wig, its smooth strands cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. The wig was meticulously styled, with perfectly curled waves that made her look both fashionable and playful. Paired with her pink dress, the hem fluttering in the wind like a blooming flower, she looked like a little princess straight out of a fairy tale, radiating captivating charm.

However, faced with Sun Shengli's undisguised praise and harassment, Lin Ruofei felt utterly disgusted. She frowned, trying to break free from Sun Shengli's tight grip on her arm, but he showed no sign of letting go, instead intensifying his praise: "Ruofei, you look so beautiful today! Like a fairy descended from heaven!" Unable to endure this harassment any longer, Lin Ruofei abruptly stood up, forcefully shaking off Sun Shengli's hand and glaring at him fiercely.

Just as Lin Ruofei was about to reprimand the shameless Sun Shengli, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open again without warning.

Amidst a commotion, a voice reached everyone's ears: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry everyone, we're late! I'm so sorry!" Before the words were even finished, Wang Yuanpeng strode into the room with a big smile on his face.

"I had plenty of time when I left home, but who knew the road would be so congested, like a parking lot! It's driving me crazy!" Liu Yun, who came in next, also explained politely. She had an apologetic smile on her face, but her eyes kept glancing at the others present, as if trying to observe their reactions.

Just then, a tall and imposing figure slowly appeared behind the two figures. That figure stood out like a crane among chickens, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Lin Ruofei, who had been getting up with her parents to greet the late guests, froze on the spot as if struck by lightning when she saw the face of the person at the very back. Her eyes widened, staring incredulously at the man before her—it was…it was Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang was actually Wang Yuanpeng's illegitimate son, a fact that had only existed in rumors all along! This revelation struck Lin Ruofei like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned. Her eyes widened as she stared at Zhang Yang in disbelief, her shock and astonishment beyond words.

However, after the initial surprise, a strange sense of "I knew it" welled up inside her. It was as if subconsciously, she had long foreseen this outcome, but had simply refused to face it. This complex mix of emotions left Lin Ruofei's heart in turmoil, as if ravaged by a violent storm.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang's face also flashed with surprise when he saw Lin Ruofei. Clearly, he hadn't expected to meet her here either. The two stared at each other, time seemingly frozen in that moment. The surrounding noise gradually faded away, leaving only the subtle and tense atmosphere between them.

Afterwards, everyone took their seats, and the dinner gathering involving the three families officially began. Although the table was laden with sumptuous dishes, Lin Ruofei had no appetite for the food. Her gaze kept drifting towards Zhang Yang, her mind racing with thoughts: Did he recognize me? Did she like Zhang Yang more or dislike him more now? After all, he was the son of the enemy who plotted to frame her father… Countless questions swirled in Lin Ruofei's mind, making her restless and uneasy.

During the meal, Lin Ruofei felt a little bored, so she made an excuse to go out for some fresh air and got up to leave the private room.

As she walked into the grove of trees in front of the hotel, the fresh air helped her relax a little. She strolled slowly along the path, enjoying the moment of tranquility. However, just then, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Lin Ruofei..."

Lin Ruofei was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look. She saw Zhang Yang standing not far away, watching her.

"I never expected that you would be Uncle Wang's son," Lin Ruofei said coldly, staring at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang seemed a little uneasy. He unconsciously clenched his hands and nervously replied, "I never expected that you would be Uncle Lin's...daughter."

For a moment, both fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, the leaves whispering as if sighing over the delicate relationship between them.

"Lin Ruofei... I actually... I actually knew you were a girl a long time ago." Zhang Yang seemed to have mustered up a great deal of courage as he slowly confessed this secret in an extremely soft voice. His gaze flickered somewhat, but in the end, it firmly landed on Lin Ruofei's delicate yet surprised face.

"You knew all along?" Lin Ruofei's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She instinctively raised her voice, urgently asking, "As early as how early?"

Zhang Yang lowered his head slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed to face Lin Ruofei's direct questioning. After a while, he raised his head, looking at Lin Ruofei with a hint of shyness in his eyes, and whispered, "It was when you... had diarrhea and were hospitalized."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruofei was so shocked that her mouth gaped open, and she couldn't close it for a long time. She never imagined that Zhang Yang had already known her true gender back then. Her mind began to race as she recalled all the things Zhang Yang had done for her during this time—his meticulous care, the moments when he had unhesitatingly offered his help... All of these things surged into her mind at this moment.

"My God! You knew so early?" Lin Ruofei muttered to herself, lost in thought. Her heart began to pound, and a thought gradually sprouted and spread in her mind: Could it be that Zhang Yang has been helping me all this time because he likes me?

"Lin Ruofei, I...I like..." Zhang Yang's words were abruptly interrupted by a sharp question. Sun Jianni, like an angry little lion, charged over. Her eyes widened, staring intently at the two people before her, and she roared, "What are you two doing sneaking around here?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yang frowned deeply. He instinctively shielded Lin Ruofei behind him, as if protecting a priceless treasure. Facing the aggressive Sun Jianni, Zhang Yang did not back down and said firmly, "Sun Jianni, we broke up a long time ago. Please stop bothering me like this!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jianni's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up as if they were about to burst forth. She choked out, "Zhang Yang, my feelings for you have never changed! How could you break up with me so easily? I absolutely will not agree to it!"

At this moment, Lin Ruofei, who had been silent all along, finally stepped forward. She looked calmly at Sun Jianni and said softly, "Sun Jianni, love is something you can't force. If you keep pestering her like this, you'll not only suffer, but you'll also put everyone in an awkward situation."

However, Sun Jianni ignored Lin Ruofei's advice. She glared at Lin Ruofei fiercely and retorted through gritted teeth, "Hmph! Mind your own business! This is between Zhang Yang and me, it has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing that Sun Jianni remained obstinate, Zhang Yang took a deep breath and spoke again with a serious expression: "Sun Jianni, the reason we've reached this point in our relationship is ultimately because our personalities clash. Besides, I'm now very clear in my heart that the person I truly love is Lin Ruofei. So, I sincerely hope that from now on, you will no longer disturb our lives."

Zhang Yang's resolute words struck Sun Jianni like a bolt from the blue. She froze, as if struck by lightning, her body trembling involuntarily.

"Lin Ruofei, is it? You just wait, I will never let you off easily!" Sun Jianni said through gritted teeth, then turned around abruptly and hurriedly left the scene, leaving behind only a resentful back view.

Just then, Zhang Yang stepped forward without hesitation and tightly grasped Lin Ruofei's slightly trembling hand. His eyes were full of tenderness and concern as he softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." However, to Zhang Yang's surprise, Lin Ruofei quickly pulled her hand away from his and replied with feigned composure, "Hmph, I've never said I liked you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was quite surprised and quickly asked, "Why is that? I'm so handsome and charming, how can I not make your heart flutter? What exactly are you dissatisfied with about me?" Faced with Zhang Yang's direct questioning, Lin Ruofei secretly chuckled to herself, but on the surface, she still pretended to be serious and replied, "In terms of handsomeness, you can't compare to Ji Weihang!" After saying that, she playfully winked at Zhang Yang.

"Don't mention Ji Weihang's name again!" Zhang Yang's face instantly darkened, and he roared angrily. Seeing Zhang Yang's exasperated appearance, Lin Ruofei was not afraid at all. Instead, she laughed even more and teased, "Oh dear, you're so petty. You're clearly not as handsome as him, but you still won't admit it."

And so, the two began to banter and tease each other, and before they knew it, they were playfully fighting, their laughter echoing in the air. Not far from them, Sun Jianni, who was crying her heart out with tears streaming down her face, had her arm firmly grabbed by her brother, Sun Shengli, who had rushed out to follow her.
