Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

Lin Ruofei was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door, not knowing how long she had slept.

When Lin Ruofei opened the door, she saw that it was Ding Yilin who had knocked.

"Why aren't you answering the phone?" Ding Yilin asked anxiously. "I've called several times, but you still won't answer!"

"I fell asleep on the sofa," Lin Ruofei said apologetically. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Has your roommate not arrived yet?" Ding Yilin looked around and asked in a low voice.

"I haven't seen anyone." Lin Ruofei turned around, picked up the phone on the bed, and checked the time. The phone showed 17:10 PM. She then said to Ding Yilin, "Did you call me because it's time for dinner?"

"Okay, let's go!" Ding Yilin called to Lin Ruofei, "If we're late, only the discounted dishes will be left!"

"Special offer dishes?" Lin Ruofei asked curiously as she put her meal card in her pocket. "What are special offer dishes? Are they recommended dishes from the cafeteria?"

"The leftovers from lunch are the discounted dishes!" Ding Yilin explained. "Although they're cheaper, they're not fresh anymore. Even though we reheat them, the taste is much worse than freshly made ones!"

"If you don't have much money, eating some discounted food is better than going hungry!" Lin Ruofei exclaimed sincerely.

"Don't worry about the money," Ding Yilin reassured Lin Ruofei with a smile, "I have plenty in my account! Let's go!"

After closing the dormitory door, Lin Ruofei said to Ding Yilin, "It's a promise, it's my treat tonight!"

"Keep the money in your card for emergencies," Ding Yilin said softly. "You can also use your meal card to buy things at the school supermarket. Let's use my card for the two of us this week."

“Well…” Lin Ruofei thought for a moment, and finally said, “Then it’s settled. After I go home next week and get the money back from my brother, it will be my turn to use my card.”

"Okay!" Ding Yilin nodded with a smile, then stepped into the elevator side by side with Lin Ruofei...

Because Ding Yilin insisted on not ordering discounted dishes, the dinner still cost a lot of money, which made Lin Ruofei feel really bad.

During the meal, Lin Ruofei received a phone call from her mother, He Meizhen. He Meizhen chatted with her for a while, asking about her well-being, before hanging up.

When talking to her mother, He Meizhen, Lin Ruofei thought it over and decided not to tell her that Lin Ruoxuan had stolen her money.

The reason Lin Ruofei didn't tell him wasn't because she was worried about Lin Ruoxuan and afraid her parents would scold her, but because she was worried that her mother would rush over to give her money again because she was worried that she wouldn't eat well, and then her secret of sneaking into the boys' school would be exposed!

Lin Ruofei also clearly understood that Lin Ruoxuan had seen this point, which was why he dared to use her money so boldly.

After leaving the cafeteria, Lin Ruofei and Ding Yilin did not rush back to their dormitory. Instead, they strolled around the campus, partly to digest their food and partly to familiarize themselves with the campus environment.

"Ding Yilin, look over there!" Lin Ruofei pointed to the artificial hill in the distance—the one she could see from her upstairs dormitory window—and excitedly suggested, "There's an artificial lake next to that hill! Shall we go for a stroll there?"

“It looks like a small park…” Ding Yilin nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go take a look!”

Lin Ruofei and Ding Yilin followed the side road beside the main road, heading straight towards the artificial hill...

After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Ruofei and Ding Yilin arrived at the small park that had both artificial hills and an artificial lake.

Around the artificial lake, a row of lush weeping willows is planted. When a gentle breeze blows, the long willow branches sway gently in the wind, as if waving to welcome guests. Occasionally, a slender willow branch will accidentally skim across the calm water as it sways in the wind, causing ripples on the surface.

The artificial hill standing beside the artificial lake is made up of huge, oddly shaped rocks. To complement the various shapes of the rocks, many straight pine trees are planted throughout the hill, giving it a vibrant and lively appearance.

Beside the artificial lake stands a stone plaque taller than a person, with three large red characters clearly engraved on it: Juxian Garden.

"So this little park is called 'Juxian Garden'!" Lin Ruofei immediately teased, "What an elegant name! It seems Yucai School dreams of cultivating all its students into talented individuals!"

"Which school doesn't care about its college entrance rate?" Ding Yilin said with some feeling. "All high schools are the same. What they care about most is how many students they've produced who got into Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Their college entrance rate will always be number one!"

Just as Lin Ruofei and Ding Yilin were chatting, they suddenly saw two pairs of male students holding hands and happily climbing up the artificial hill by the lake.

Watching the boys holding hands and walking intimately up the mountain, Lin Ruofei couldn't help but whisper to Ding Yilin, "Why does it feel a little strange to see those boys holding hands as they walk up the mountain?"

"I think..." Ding Yilin leaned close to Lin Ruofei's ear and whispered, "They must like each other!"

"You mean... they're 'same'?" Lin Ruofei couldn't help but shout, "Are you kidding me?! This is a school, how dare they be so bold as to be a couple in front of everyone?"

Before Ding Yilin could speak to stop Lin Ruofei, a voice reprimanded him from behind:

"You two ignorant brats, don't you even know where you are, daring to talk so loudly and openly here?"

Lin Ruofei hurriedly turned her head to look... The person standing behind her at this moment was none other than the future top reporter, Zheng Dayu.

"It's you!" Lin Ruofei said with a smile.

"Luckily it was me!" Zheng Dayu stepped forward and whispered, "If these 'young couples' heard you two making such a fuss, they'd probably gang up on you!"

"Hehe..." Lin Ruofei chuckled twice, confidently saying, "If they want to gang up on me, they'll need to train for a few more years!"

"Go ahead and brag!" Zheng Dayu said disdainfully. "With your skinny arms and legs, each of these young lovers could drown you with a single spit!"

Seeing that Lin Ruofei didn't seem to care at all, Zheng Dayu asked mysteriously, "Do you know what this place is called?"

“I know,” Lin Ruofei pointed to the plaque standing by the lake and said, “‘Juxian Garden’!”
