"What kind of talk is that? How am I not the original me anymore?"
"Yo, that's a long story if you want to get into it."
Three vibrant and youthful girls strolled towards the dormitory as Cheng Ranran started to recount the events of the winter break, with Ye Xiaohui chiming in from time to time.
"Let me tell you, my grandma adores you now. Ever since your feats were reported in the news, she's been bringing your name up all the time..."
Babbling on for the entire walk, Ye Xiaohui finally summed it up.
"In short, you're not only brave and righteous, but you're also professionally excellent, and you've managed to top your class twice in a row, becoming the favorite child in the eyes of all the parents."
Just as the three of them arrived at the dormitory door, and Tang Shu was fumbling for her keys, they heard a scoff nearby.
Glancing towards the source of the sound, they saw Zhao Haixue standing with her arms crossed at the door next door, her face showing a trace of jealousy.
