Rebirth to Save Myself

As junior high school began, everyone entered the awkward phase of adolescence. Coupled with the rise of romance novels and the popularity of Taiwanese idol dramas, girls often fantasized about their own Prince Charming coming to their side, protecting them from the wind and rain, and doing anything for them.

In both classes, Chen Wenwei, Lin Mohan, Zhou Xiaojie, and others were unanimously considered handsome by the girls. They even wrote love letters and handed them to their crushes on the way home from school, hoping to be together.

Chen Yuan once again found anonymous love letters in Chen Wenwei's desk, along with information about Su Xia's class and gossip.

"Xiaxia, look at Chen Wenwei, how can anyone like him? Let's find out who's so blind to have taken a liking to him." Saying this, she was about to make a move, but Su Xia stopped her.

"Give it back." Su Xia stopped Chen Yuan's actions, and then continued, "This is someone else's privacy. No one except Chen Wenwei has the right to look at it without permission. If this girl finds out that you secretly opened her love letter, she will blame you."

“But Chen Wenwei left it there for so long, he hasn’t touched it at all.” Chen Yuan grew up with Chen Wenwei, and he had absolutely no privacy for her. The two mothers would often get together and gossip about the two children’s embarrassing affairs, so when Chen Yuan went through Chen Wenwei’s desk and found the love letter, her first thought was to open it and read it.

"No matter what, you have to let Chen Wenwei handle it. Otherwise, what if the girl causes you trouble after you open the love letter and read its contents?" Su Xia said. Actually, when she saw the words "To Chen Wenwei" written on the cover of the love letter, she probably guessed who gave it to her.

This person is Vivian Chow, who has been very petty and calculating since elementary school. Plus, Su Xia had been friends with her for a while in her past life; Vivian Chow was the type who disliked studying and led people astray. She even instigated Su Xia and others to steal snacks from the convenience store, covering for each other. So, in this new life, Su Xia doesn't want to talk to her at all. However, Chen Yuan is rich and generous, and before Su Xia started hanging out with her, Vivian Chow fawned over her.

Su Xia is a rather quiet person; she spends her free time reading and doing homework. After playing with her, Chen Yuan was also drawn into reading. Zhou Huimin was quite unhappy with Su Xia, and Chen Yuan refused to go out with her, so Zhou Huimin now had mixed feelings of love and hate towards Chen Yuan.

If Vivian Chow found out that Chen Yuan had opened the love letter she had given to Chen Wenwei and even showed it to Su Xia, she would definitely retaliate against Chen Yuan. Therefore, no matter what Su Xia said, Chen Yuan had to put the letter back where it belonged, not touch it, and definitely not get involved.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Yuan took the love letter and went back to the classroom to put it back.

To Su Xia's surprise, her worst fears came true. Zhou Huimin, with her sharp eyes, spotted the love letter she had secretly slipped into Chen Wenwei's book in Chen Yuan's hand. Considering Chen Yuan had just returned from outside, Zhou Huimin deduced that Chen Yuan had taken the letter to read with Su Xia and mock her. At this thought, Zhou Huimin's face darkened.

Although Chen Yuan listened to Su Xia and returned the love letter, she couldn't help but remind Chen Wenwei that he had a love letter.

Chen Wenwei picked up the love letter, glanced at its contents, and then looked up at Zhou Huimin. Zhou Huimin, who had been watching Chen Wenwei's every move, noticed immediately that he had read the love letter. Chen Wenwei tore half a piece of paper from his notebook, wrote a few words on it, folded it up, and had a classmate pass it to Zhou Huimin.

When Vivian Chow received the note, her heart was pounding. She opened it and read, "Thank you for your kind words, but right now the most important thing is to study."

Rejected, Vivian Chow cried to her friends Yu Qing and Zhang Xiurong, as if the rejection had shattered her world. Yu Qing and Zhang Xiurong kept berating Chen Wenwei for being pretentious, saying he and Chen Yuan were so close, they must have been dating for a while. That's why he rejected Vivian Chow's confession; otherwise, why would he refuse? All the other boys in their class were secretly dating girls, how could he resist?

Vivian Chow mentioned that she saw Chen Yuan take her love letter today, and that Su Xia had also read it. When Chen Yuan returned it, she told Chen Wenwei some things.

"Then it's no surprise. Chen Yuan must be jealous and made Chen Wenwei hurry up and win you over," Yu Qing said with certainty.

"Is Chen Yuan crazy? What's the meaning of showing your love letters to Su Xia?" Zhang Xiurong was also furious.

"They're bullying me so much, boohoo," Vivian Chow cried and cursed at the same time.

"Teach them a lesson, or they'll get too arrogant. Love letters are such a private matter, how can you just look at them like that? They're not even involved." Yu Qing clenched her fist, as if she was about to hit someone.

“That’s right. Doesn’t Su Xia like to steal money? The clothes she’s wearing must have been bought with stolen money. Her family is so poor, how could they afford to buy expensive clothes?”

The three of them discussed it and then decided to bring Lin Li along. They further refined their plan, imagining how they would tear off Su Xia's cold mask and turn her into a thief in the teacher's eyes, which made them burst out laughing.

The Chinese teacher had previously recommended a collection of classic works that junior high school students should read, and asked those who wanted it to give the money to the class representative so that it could be submitted to the teacher later. Yu Qing was the class representative for Su Xia's class, but the teacher asked the students to nominate someone themselves, and Yu Qing raised her hand and was thus elected without any problems.

They planned to secretly slip the money Yu Qing had collected into Su Xia's schoolbag, then have Yu Qing go to the teacher and complain that the money was missing. Once the atmosphere was right, Zhou Huimin would step forward and say she saw Su Xia sneaking off to Yu Qing's seat. The teacher would then check Su Xia's bag and find the money they had put in, leaving her with no way to deny it.

The whole plan was meticulously arranged. Lin Li was responsible for slipping the money into Su Xia's schoolbag, Zhang Xiurong would accompany Yu Qing to find the teacher, and Zhou Huimin would act as a witness. They were confident Su Xia wouldn't be able to turn the tables. No matter how good her grades were, with the charge of stealing money, the teacher wouldn't protect Su Xia anymore, and they wouldn't have to worry about her having a teacher behind her back.

After the three finished discussing, they happily went home, unaware that Zhou Xiaojie had been standing behind the artificial hill for quite some time.

Zhou Xiaojie had only been passing by the artificial hill when he heard Su Xia's name and stopped to take a look, never expecting to overhear the entire plan. Watching the group's departing figures, he felt a mix of emotions. Lin Li and Yu Qing were both his classmates, with Yu Qing even being the class representative for Chinese. He never imagined that a love letter would lead to such a betrayal of his own classmates.
