Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

Putting aside whether this 'feng shui treasure land' is actually as evil as the legend says, just looking at the magical weapon Gao Qiang is using now—a 'fly swatter'—that can actually pass something to the slightly chubby girl across the street from a distance of more than two meters is enough to make Lin Ruofei marvel at the greatness of human wisdom!

"Is this reliable? It would be safer to tie a rock to it and throw it over there! Be careful..." Lin Ruofei stared intently at the fly swatter 'drifting further and further away' in Gao Qiang's hand, and couldn't help but whisper a warning: "If this package falls to the ground halfway there, you'll be in big trouble..."

"How is it unreliable?" Gao Qiang said with considerable dissatisfaction, "The boy you saw sitting on the steps yesterday is called Hua Di. He uses this to deliver lunchboxes to Xiao Fen every day, and he's never failed once. Tell me, is he reliable or not!"

As soon as Gao Qiang finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew in...

The wind wasn't particularly strong, nor was it particularly weak; it was just right... A tiny grain of sand was blown into Gao Qiang's left eye. Gao Qiang immediately blinked hard, trying to expel the sand, and his hands, holding the 'fly swatter,' trembled slightly involuntarily...

With that slight tremor, the paper packet containing the money on the fly swatter fell to the ground.

"Look at your jinxed mouth!" Gao Qiang saw that the paper packet containing the money had fallen right out of the slightly chubby girl's reach, and immediately turned to Lin Ruofei angrily and shouted, "What you said will come true!"

"I was just... just trying to be helpful!" Lin Ruofei said apologetically, "I didn't really mean for it to fall to the ground!"

Gao Qiang was so angry that he ignored Lin Ruofei and turned around to use the fly swatter in his hand to poke at the paper package that had fallen on the ground, to see if he could move the paper package to a place where the slightly chubby girl could reach it.

Before Gao Qiang could even fiddle with it a few times, the paper packet containing the money began to fall apart.

"I think you'd better not do it," Lin Ruofei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but whisper a reminder. "If you fiddle with it a couple more times, this paper package will fall apart completely, and the money inside will be blown everywhere. You'll be in real trouble then!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Gao Qiang shouted anxiously, "The fence is so narrow, we can't squeeze through. We can't just run out of the school gate and then come back here to collect the money, can we? Besides, the guards at the school gate won't let us out!"

"Why go through all that trouble? We can just go straight out from here!" Lin Ruofei said, then leaped onto the fence...

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ruofei had climbed over the fence.

"Wow...that's incredible!" Gao Qiang couldn't help but exclaim. "You were even more agile when you climbed over the fence this time than when you climbed over the gate last time!"

"This is nothing to me, it's just a drop in the ocean!" Lin Ruofei said smugly as she walked over to the paper bag containing the money, bent down to pick it up, and strode towards the slightly chubby girl opposite her...

The slightly chubby girl was quite surprised when she saw Lin Ruofei's skills. It wasn't until Lin Ruofei walked closer and handed her the paper packet containing the money that the slightly chubby girl reacted after a few seconds. She quickly took the packet and said, "You're really amazing! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!!" Then she gave Lin Ruofei a big smile.

The slightly chubby girl's smile is very special. When she smiles, her facial features don't spread out like most people's; instead, they all squeeze together as if you could reach out a small hand and grab her nose, eyes, and mouth. Her smile actually looks a bit funny, but it has an indescribable sense of intimacy that makes people feel warm.

"That smile... Oh, I remember now!" Lin Ruofei slapped her thigh suddenly, finally remembering who the slightly chubby girl in front of her was.

She was the woman who would become Gao Qiang's wife more than ten years later—Jin Sufeng.

Initially, when the media evaluated Jin Sufeng, they mostly defined her as a virtuous, tolerant, and magnanimous wife. This was because when faced with Gao Qiang's constant scandals, she always stood by his side without complaint, facing the media together and firmly helping her husband clarify the rumors.

Jin Sufeng was so tolerant that even after Gao Qiang had an illegitimate child with an obscure actress, she still unconditionally stood by her husband Gao Qiang and spared no effort to protect him in front of the media.

After the 'illegitimate child' incident, some media outlets believed that Jin Sufeng didn't leave Gao Qiang because she coveted his billions in wealth. However, Lin Ruofei at the time didn't think so. Based on the success stories of Gao Qiang collected by her brother Lin Ruoxuan, it wasn't hard to see that...

Jin Sufeng stepped in to help Gao Qiang turn the tide during the two low points in his career, which shows that her abilities are extraordinary! How could a bold, intelligent and capable woman like her, who once studied at Harvard University with Gao Qiang and then dropped out of Harvard with him to go into business, care about billions of dollars?

Lin Ruofei summed up the reason why Jin Sufeng never abandoned Gao Qiang no matter what happened in one word: 'love'!

What kind of unforgettable love must the two have experienced for a legendary woman like Jin Sufeng to be willing to abandon her studies, career, and even her self-respect as a woman to follow Gao Qiang wholeheartedly? It's something that outsiders can hardly understand.

The thought that the woman in front of her would experience the heartless betrayal of her lover more than ten years from now filled Lin Ruofei with indescribable sorrow.

Lin Ruofei reached her hands through the fence and tightly grasped Jin Sufeng's hands, whispering, "Madam Hua... ah, no!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Ruofei realized she had said the wrong thing.

Since her first public appearance defending her husband Gao Qiang, Jin Sufeng has favored wearing floral-patterned clothing. Various large and small floral designs, both bright and subtle, in a variety of colors and patterns, such as roses, orchids, and peonies, have graced her outfits. As a result, the media has bestowed upon her the nickname: "China's First Flower Lady!"

Kim So-bun herself was happy to accept it, and she still wore 'flower' dresses to various occasions, so the title of 'Flower Lady' spread.

Out of habit, Lin Ruofei called Jin Sufeng "Madam Hua" without thinking. But after calling her that, she realized that Jin Sufeng was just a fellow villager of Gao Qiang, not his wife.

Seeing Jin Sufeng's surprised expression, Lin Ruofei quickly changed her words, "I meant to say... Sister Fen, I have something I want to tell you..."

"Oh... go ahead and tell me, I'm listening." Jin Sufeng looked at Lin Ruofei earnestly.

"You absolutely must remember what I'm saying!" Lin Ruofei gripped Jin Sufeng's hands tightly and said in a serious, low voice, "Gao Qiang is no good! He's a womanizer, a lecher, and irresponsible. You absolutely mustn't marry him! With your intelligence, sister, what kind of man can't you find! After you get to Harvard, if a super-rich 'Middle Eastern prince' pursues you, go ahead and try! If that doesn't work, if a brilliant 'Jew' pursues you, go ahead and try that too. In short: don't marry Gao Qiang, he only knows how to cheat on you and embarrass you in front of the whole country!"

When the media delved into Jin Sufeng and Gao Qiang's love story, they mentioned that while Jin Sufeng was studying at Harvard, she rejected the intense pursuit of both a wealthy "Middle Eastern prince" and an exceptionally intelligent "Jew," resolutely dropping out of school to return to China with Gao Qiang to start a business. Lin Ruofei genuinely didn't want Jin Sufeng to be hurt again.

"Hmm..." Jin Sufeng stared at Lin Ruofei in bewilderment, trying to analyze what Lin Ruofei was saying and understand the meaning behind her words. But in the end, Jin Sufeng gave up. At this moment, Jin Sufeng could only judge Lin Ruofei's words as the 'crazy talk' of a seemingly normal person.

“I… understand.” Kim So-fen nodded politely.

"Good to know!" Lin Ruofei released Jin Sufeng's hand with relief and whispered, "Remember what I said, you must sever ties with Gao Qiang as soon as possible!"

"Hey, what are you dawdling for?" Gao Qiang shouted irritably from inside the iron fence, "Hurry up and come back!"

"Okay!" Lin Ruofei replied irritably.

"Sister Fen, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Lin Ruofei said, taking out all her money from her pocket. Because she had fried noodles with Gao Qiang yesterday, Lin Ruofei had less than four hundred yuan left.

"Here, Sister Fen, take this money for emergencies!" Lin Ruofei said, then forcefully stuffed the money in her hand into Jin Sufeng's hand.

"No, young man, I can't take your money..." Jin Sufeng hurriedly pushed the money Lin Ruofei had given her back.

"Take it!" Lin Ruofei said as she backed away. "Just let me know if you need anything in the future, and I'll do my best to help!"

"Then consider this money a loan from you for now!" Jin Sufeng said gratefully, seeing that she couldn't refuse. "I'll definitely pay you back after I get my scholarship again!"

"Okay!" Lin Ruofei nodded and said with a smile, "Sister Fen, you can use it without worry!"

As she spoke, Lin Ruofei had already walked back to the iron fence of Yucai Boys' School. In the blink of an eye, Lin Ruofei stood steadily back next to Gao Qiang.

"Sister Fen, let's go!" Lin Ruofei waved to Jin Sufeng, then turned and strode away.

"Xiao Fen, we'll be going now!" Gao Qiang hurriedly waved to Jin Su Fen and then quickly caught up with Lin Ruofei.

After catching up with Lin Ruofei, Gao Qiang's first question to her was, "Why did you give your money to Xiao Fen?"

"I'd be happy to!" Lin Ruofei said irritably, "Let me tell you, if you have any conscience at all, after you and Sister Fen go to Harvard University, stay away from Sister Fen, and whatever you do, don't marry her!!"

"No..." Gao Qiang quickly denied, "How could I possibly marry her? I... I didn't even fancy her!"

"That would be best!" Lin Ruofei patted Gao Qiang's shoulder and said, "As long as you don't interfere, even if Sister Fen isn't destined to be a 'Middle Eastern princess,' she'll at least marry someone from one of the world's smartest races, have an even smarter next generation, and live a carefree life..."

"Don't worry!" Gao Qiang said, seemingly to himself, yet also to Lin Ruofei, "Even if I wanted to get involved, I probably wouldn't be able to..."

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Ruofei asked, puzzled.

“If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Fen will definitely be recommended by the school to Harvard University. She has been the top student in her grade since she first entered the school, while I…” A hint of disappointment flashed in Gao Qiang’s eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Ruofei replied nonchalantly, "You'll still be recommended by the school to Harvard University, won't you?"

"Hey kid, do you even know what kind of students get recommended to Harvard University?" Gao Qiang asked loudly.

Lin Ruofei shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Every year, in order to select students to recommend to Harvard University, the school organizes five consecutive exams for the registered students in September and October. The student who gets the most first place in these five exams is the one the school will recommend," Gao Qiang explained clearly.

"Is this the only recommended method?" Lin Ruofei turned to Gao Qiang and asked.

“Yes,” Gao Qiang nodded and said, “At Yucai School, only the absolute number one student is qualified to be recommended by the school to Harvard University.”

"Then there's no need to say more, you're the number one." Lin Ruofei said confidently.

"Me? Heh, you're kidding me!" Gao Qiang gave a bitter laugh and said, "The current number one is the one who fainted in front of the rankings a couple of days ago..."

"He fainted and went to the hospital!" Lin Ruofei said casually, "You should be the top student at Yucai Boys' High School now, otherwise how will you go to Harvard University in the future!"

"First...could it be me?" Gao Qiang asked timidly, "I'm only ranked in the fifties in my grade right now..."

"Just study hard!" Lin Ruofei said dismissively, "You're going to Harvard University anyway!"

"Can I... do it?" Gao Qiang's voice was even weaker.

"I think we should hurry up and leave," Lin Ruofei urged. "We've already wasted half a day. If we wait until we get up the mountain, all the food vendors will have left, and the canteen will be closed. That would be terrible!"

"Sigh, do you think if I work really hard... I can really get first place?" Gao Qiang still asked persistently.

"Of course!" Lin Ruofei nodded. "But you have to treat me to lunch today. I just gave all my money to Sister Fen, and now I don't have a single penny left in my pocket."

"Really? You didn't leave yourself any money at all?" Gao Qiang asked in surprise.

"Mm." Lin Ruofei nodded.
