Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

"It's all because that kid acted like a jerk!" Yu Jialiang glared at Ji Weihang and muttered resentfully in a low voice, "He doesn't deserve to be our buddy!"

Ji Weihang remained silent, simply burying his head in eating the food on his plate.

"Hey Zhang Yang..." Guo Yang, sitting between the two, quickly changed the subject when he saw the atmosphere was about to turn sour. He loudly asked Zhang Yang, "Not only has your hairstyle changed, but your tastes have changed too? Why are you eating such greasy food so early in the morning? And..." Guo Yang looked at Lin Ruofei, who was sitting next to Zhang Yang and was engrossed in eating, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "She's actually eating the exact same thing as this kid!"

Zhang Yang sighed awkwardly, unsure how to answer Guo Yang's question.

"Who said we can't eat meat in the morning?" Lin Ruofei couldn't help but raise her head and say righteously, "We should be able to eat delicious food whenever we want!"

Before Guo Yang could speak, Lin Ruofei turned to stare at the food on Zhang Yang's plate and said repeatedly, "It's okay if you don't like it, give it to me! Give it to me! I can eat it all! I promise there won't be any left, not a single bit!"

After saying that, Lin Ruofei put her chopsticks into Zhang Yang's plate and picked up several pieces of sweet and sour pork and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Nobody's going to steal your food..." Zhang Yang looked at Lin Ruofei, whose mouth was already stuffed full and she couldn't chew anymore, and couldn't help but whisper, "Eat slowly!"

"How much is breakfast per person?" Lin Ruofei asked curiously while chewing her food.

"One hundred yuan per person..." Ji Weihang replied nonchalantly, "Breakfast is a benefit provided by the school, so it's not very expensive..."

"My goodness! 100 yuan per person for breakfast isn't expensive?" Lin Ruofei asked in surprise, "How much are lunch and dinner?"

"It's 200 yuan per person for lunch and dinner..." Zhang Yang put all the sweet and sour pork ribs from his plate onto Lin Ruofei's plate, and then said, "If there are any dishes you particularly want to eat, you can order them separately and pay extra."

"My God! One hundred in the morning... and two hundred each for lunch and dinner..." Lin Ruofei glanced around at the four men sitting around her and couldn't help but complain, "Only four 'suckers' would come to eat in this godforsaken place!"

As soon as Lin Ruofei finished speaking, students began to push open the small black door and walk in, swiping their cards at the bar to prepare for their meals.

"Tsk tsk..." Lin Ruofei picked up a plate piled high with sweet and sour pork ribs, and while eating, shook her head and sighed, "There are really a lot of 'suckers' in this school!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Yu Jialiang, sitting opposite Lin Ruofei, looked at her with disdain and mocked her, "Look at your pathetic appearance, you're clearly just a sour grapes!"

Lin Ruofei immediately raised her head and retorted, "You actually feel superior for being a 'sucker'? Your thinking is really quite bizarre!"

"That's still better than you!" Yu Jialiang retorted, not to be outdone. "Look at you, eating like a beggar, as if you haven't eaten anything good in eight hundred lifetimes. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Hmph!" Lin Ruofei sneered twice, then slowly said, "You know... you lost to me in basketball; you lost to me in high jump; I guess you're no match for me in long-distance or short-distance running either. I'm just wondering: what makes you so confident in front of me?"

"You..." Yu Jialiang was speechless for a moment and did not immediately respond.

"Is it because you..." Lin Ruofei asked seriously, "that you are better at studying than me?"

As soon as Lin Ruofei finished speaking, Zhang Yang, Ji Weihang, and Guo Yang couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Sigh, that's true..." Seeing everyone laughing at her, Lin Ruofei quickly came to her rescue, saying, "No one is perfect. Everyone has to have something they can't do. If I were good at sports and good at academics, wouldn't that be against the laws of nature? So it's perfectly reasonable that I ranked second to last in my grade..."

"Lin Ruofei!" Yu Jialiang angrily threw down his chopsticks and shouted, "Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"What did I say that was so successful?" Lin Ruofei asked excitedly, her eyes wide. "That it made you so angry you didn't even eat? Tell me quickly, so I can be happy too!"

"Lin Ruofei, are you really unaware or pretending? Liangzi's exam results this time..." Guo Yang said softly, suppressing a laugh, "are second to last in the entire grade..."

"Haha! My goodness!" Lin Ruofei then realized that everyone wasn't laughing at her, but at Yu Jialiang, who was also second to last in the entire grade. She immediately said happily, "I didn't expect that we would actually tie in my weakest area!"

“You…” Yu Jialiang pointed at the elated Lin Ruofei, speechless for a long time.

"Then who is last in the grade?" Lin Ruofei couldn't help but ask curiously.

Guo Yang pointed with his chopsticks at Zhang Yang, who was sitting next to Lin Ruofei and smiling without saying a word, and then said, "He skipped so many classes, he's already lost all his credits, who else could it be but him!"

"So your exam score was also the lowest?" Lin Ruofei immediately turned to Zhang Yang and asked.

“I could easily score more points than him even with just a few casual answers…” Zhang Yang said smugly, pointing at Yu Jialiang. “That’s exactly why this kid is so frustrated!”

"If you didn't skip classes, wouldn't he become the worst student in the grade?" Lin Ruofei said excitedly, "Wouldn't I be truly better than him in every way!"

"If I'd known you had such a foul mouth, I shouldn't have just honked my horn to scare you on the street..." Yu Jialiang said through gritted teeth, "I should have just run you over!"

"So it was you, you little rascal, who honked at me and scared me!" Lin Ruofei thought to herself, gritting her teeth in anger. "I thought it was Zhang Yang who honked, and I was blaming him for a long time!"

"Zhang Yang!" Lin Ruofei turned to look at Zhang Yang sitting next to her, and said seriously, "Can you stop skipping classes from now on? Let's just hand this wicked kid the last place championship!"

Zhang Yang pursed his lips and lazily replied, "Unless... you agree to move out of my dorm room immediately, then I might consider it..."

"No, that's too demanding!" Lin Ruofei quickly shook her head and said, "I think I should just stay better than him in everything, and only tie with him in academics!"

"Zhang Yang!" Yu Jialiang shouted angrily, "You're closest to this kid, tell him to shut up!"

Zhang Yang glanced at Yu Jialiang, whose face was flushed with anger, then at Lin Ruofei, who was protecting her plate while nervously watching him. He muttered under his breath, "Making her shut up is easy enough..."

After saying that, Zhang Yang picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork from his plate with his chopsticks and brought it to Lin Ruofei's lips, coldly saying, "Can't you shut your mouth even if you eat..."

Quite surprised, Lin Ruofei immediately opened her mouth wide and took the sweet and sour pork that Zhang Yang handed her. While chewing, she whispered, "Zhang Yang, can I have one of those little meatballs on your plate too?"

"Is this it?" Zhang Yang asked, picking up a meatball from his plate.

"Mmm!" Lin Ruofei nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Yang then handed the meatball to Lin Ruofei, who swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ugh, it's fish balls, not meatballs. I don't like them..." Lin Ruofei pouted and said, "Thank goodness I didn't take any more!"

"Zhang Yang, are you even capable?" Yu Jialiang was even angrier when he saw that Zhang Yang had managed to shut Lin Ruofei up in such a gentle and considerate way.

Guo Yang, sitting next to Yu Jialiang, simply tugged at Yu Jialiang's sleeve and whispered, "Alright, alright, why bother arguing with him? Hurry up and eat!"

Although Lin Ruofei kept bickering with Yu Jialiang throughout the meal, she still managed to have a full meal, which made her feel very satisfied.

When Lin Ruofei followed Ji Weihang out of the small black door before Zhang Yang and the other two, the large cafeteria outside was bustling with activity.

"Shall we have lunch at Xiao Heimen today?" Ji Weihang asked Lin Ruofei as soon as he stepped out of Xiao Heimen.

Lin Ruofei shook her head and repeatedly refused, "No! No! I'm afraid I won't be able to digest food like this, which is so 'deadly'. I'll go find Gao Qiang for lunch!"

"Actually, it's not that expensive..." Ji Weihang said with a smile, "You know, the principal and the director eat the same things as us..."

"Weihang oppa, can I ask you something?" Lin Ruofei interrupted Ji Weihang and asked seriously, "Does the school store have gift wrapping paper or anything like that?"

"They should have them..." Ji Weihang suddenly grinned mischievously and approached Lin Ruofei, whispering, "The school store should have everything except for girls' special items..."

Lin Ruofei glared at Ji Weihang, who was grinning maliciously, with disgust, then turned and left without a word.

"Hey, let me take you there!" Ji Weihang hurriedly caught up with Lin Ruofei, who was rollerblading, and asked gently.

"Get the hell away from me!" Lin Ruofei scolded Ji Weihang irritably while quickening her pace.

"That's not right of you!" Ji Weihang said aggrievedly, "I just brought you out of the Little Black Gate, and you're already going to 'discard the millstone after using it'?"

Lin Ruofei ignored Ji Weihang and went straight to the school store.

"That girl is heartless..." Ji Weihang, who had been chasing after her for a while but couldn't catch up, could only stare at Lin Ruofei's back and mutter angrily, "She changes her mind faster than flipping through a book!"

There was another person doing the same thing as Ji Weihang: he was staring at Lin Ruofei's back and cursing her angrily. This person was Yu Jialiang, who walked out of the small black door later.

"That brat, he really thinks he's something just because he has some crappy skills! He doesn't respect anyone at all. I'll teach him a lesson when I get the chance!" Yu Jialiang cursed angrily as he watched Lin Ruofei's departing figure.

Zhang Yang, standing behind Yu Jialiang, also silently watched Lin Ruofei's back without saying a word.

“I’m telling you, Zhang Yang…” Guo Yang, standing next to Zhang Yang, finally couldn’t help but speak up and advise, “We can be crazy as we are, but there are some things that go too far… we’d better not do them… you know what I mean?”

Zhang Yang turned his head and said indifferently, "I don't understand what you mean!"

"It's...it's...it's right...we're guys, and Lin Ruofei is a guy too...men and men...you get it?" Guo Yang stammered.

Seeing Guo Yang looking at him nervously, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Okay! I know, I'll keep it in mind!"

"Phew... Good to know..." Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Zhang Yang had taken his well-intentioned reminder to heart.

"What are you going to do next?" Yu Jialiang turned around and asked Zhang Yang behind him, "Any fun plans?"

"What else can I do at this time..." Zhang Yang strode forward without turning his head and said, "Of course, I have to go to the classroom to clock in and attend class!"

"No way?" Yu Jialiang hurriedly caught up with Zhang Yang and asked in a panic, "Are you really planning to listen to that kid Lin Ruofei and push me to the bottom of the grade after I get full attendance?"

Zhang Yang smiled without saying a word, and simply strode towards the classroom building.

“Guo Yang…” Yu Jialiang turned to look at Guo Yang, his face full of worry, and said, “Do you think Zhang Yang has gone crazy? Why is he going to class? If the school contacts my dad next month because I ranked last in the grade, he’ll skin me alive!”

"Don't worry!" Guo Yang whispered in Yu Jialiang's ear, "Zhang Yang is only enthusiastic for three minutes; he won't last long!"

"I hope so..." Yu Jialiang said worriedly.

When Lin Ruofei arrived at the school store, it was not yet 7:30 on her phone.

The convenience store didn't have gift wrapping paper, only colorful little plastic bags. Lin Ruofei bought two red plastic bags and a red ribbon for tying them up, then happily left the store and found a bench by the roadside to sit down.

Lin Ruofei put the two small red plastic bags together, mainly for Zhou Jianfei's sake: even if the outer bag was accidentally torn, the chocolate inside wouldn't leak out.

Then, Lin Ruofei unzipped her backpack, took out all the white chocolates scattered inside, stuffed them into a small red plastic bag, and finally tied a pretty bow with a red ribbon to seal the bag tightly.

"Doesn't this kind of packaging seem a bit insincere..." Lin Ruofei muttered softly, looking at the homemade chocolate gift bag in her hand. "It would look more thoughtful if I added some decorations..." After saying that, Lin Ruofei took out a blue ballpoint pen from her schoolbag and carefully began to draw on the outside of the red plastic bag...
