... So, was everything truly happening for real?
Had her heartfelt wish actually been fulfilled, returning her to that precious moment right before the college entrance exams?
Did that signify she now possessed the opportunity to restart her life and select her own future?
Ye Tianxin gazed seriously at the problems written on the blackboard, concentrating deeply on them right up until the bell sounded, marking the close of the class.
“Ye Tianxin, the teacher wants us to consider which college we’d like to attend. What’s your target college?”
“Capital University!”
Full of assurance, Tianxin declared the name boldly, causing the whole classroom to plunge into sudden silence. The only noise was the soft whisper of wind flipping through the open books; not another sound echoed in the room.
Yet, within moments, the class burst into wild, uproarious laughter.
Year after year, Ye Tianxin’s grades had consistently ranked her among the bottom ten in her grade level.
With such poor scores, how dare she dream of entering Capital University? It was an utterly unattainable ambition!
“HaHaHaHa....”
“HaHaHaHa....”
With a slight frown, Ye Tianxin understood that to everyone else, given her present grades, pursuing Capital University was nothing but a foolish fantasy, a grasp at the stars.
However, reborn now, she would from this instant forward shape her own destiny.
Her declaration of targeting Capital University was serious, and she fully intended to make it reality.
“You all doubt me?” she questioned.
A girl wearing a dress with floral prints and tied in two long braids rose to her feet. She sneered mockingly at Ye Tianxin.
“Ye Tianxin, why are you talking nonsense without thinking? If you make it into Capital University, I’ll take your surname!”
Showing no politeness, Ye Tianxin shot back, “Ye Youran, are you slow-witted? Don’t you realize we already have the same family name?”
As the star pupil in Year Three of Jiameng High School, Ye Youran consistently claimed first or second spot in her grade during yearly examinations.
Teachers and students throughout the school anticipated that she would secure a spot in a prestigious university, not someone like Ye Tianxin.
Only Ye Tianxin knew the truth. From her memories, Ye Youran had shockingly flopped in the college entrance exams, forcing her family to shell out money for entry into some obscure, non-accredited school.
Ye Tianxin also remembered how Ye Youran’s family, desperate for cash to buy their daughter’s university slot, sold off her grandmother’s house following her passing.
“Ye Tianxin, you’re not capable of it.” Ye Youran’s face twisted in disdain, exuding pure haughtiness.
Ye Tianxin checked the class timetable on the blackboard and saw the next period was English.
“The college entrance exams are still distant. Why not compete in the upcoming English exam instead? The teacher mentioned it’s a unit test this time. Ye Youran, shall we wager on our scores?”
With a mocking chuckle, Ye Youran eyed her English book, her lips twisting into a triumphant smirk.
“Fine. If I come out on top, what’s your forfeit?”
Twirling a pencil between her fingers, Ye Tianxin stated, “Should you win, I, Ye Tianxin, will instantly become your lackey. I’ll obey any order from you, except for killing or picking on the vulnerable. So, what happens if I triumph?”
“No way you’ll win!” Ye Youran shot back with total certainty. How could a hopeless failure like Ye Tianxin possibly beat her?
Shrugging casually, Ye Tianxin responded, “Never count it out. Miracles happen. But suppose I do win, unexpectedly?”
Ye Youran’s attractive features soured. Ye Tianxin was utterly irritating. Why make such a scene when her defeat was obvious?
“Name it. What do I owe you if you somehow win?”
Ye Tianxin thought briefly, then whispered, “If my English score beats yours, even by just one mark, you’ll immediately address me as Elder Sis....”
