Wen Nian instinctively knew that the dress she was wearing was undoubtedly expensive. The thought of it made her feel embarrassed, so she quickly brought her hand to cover her face, attempting to hide her discomfort. She devised a plan to discreetly return to her seat and retrieve her bag.

Shen Jun noticed Wen Nian sitting up straight in his embrace. Gently, he lowered her hand and swiftly removed half of his clothes. Taking out a sleeve, he began to wipe away Wen Nian’s tears and gently wiped her runny nose.

Wen Nian’s eyes widened as she glanced at the clothes she had unintentionally soiled. Without waiting for her response, Shen Jun swiftly moved to a clean section and tenderly handed her a tissue, instructing in a soft voice, “Please blow your nose.”

Wen Nian obediently applied pressure and blew her nose several times until it was completely clear.

Shen Jun shifted to a fresh spot and gently wiped away Wen Nian’s tears.

As Wen Nian gazed into Shen Jun’s sincere and pure eyes, observing his gentle movements as if he were tending to a precious gem, she found herself in a dazed state. She asked softly, “Why are you so kind to me?”

Shen Jun paused, his gaze tender and filled with a sense of helplessness. He looked deeply into Wen Nian’s eyes and replied, “Why do you think it is?”

Wen Nian had a hunch in her heart, but she found it hard to believe. However, she recalled Shen Jun’s earlier request and tentatively asked, “Is it because the organs in my body meet the transplant requirements for your family?”

Shen Jun composed himself and took a deep breath, determined to convey his true feelings. He replied, “Sometimes your imagination wanders too far. What if the reason is simply because 1 genuinely like you?”

Wen Nian gasped and her eyes widened. “You like me?!”

Shen Jun firmly grasped Wen Nian’s arms, his expression serious and resolute. He looked into her eyes and spoke earnestly, “Wen Nian, 1 have feelings for you. I’m aware that you have a boyfriend, but 1 can’t control my emotions. Will you consider being my girlfriend?”

Wen Nian attentively absorbed Shen Jun’s confession. Initially, she felt a sense of excitement, but as his words progressed, confusion clouded her expression. The latter question made her blush with shyness, and her emotions became mixed for a moment. After contemplating for a moment, she felt the need to clarify things first. “1 don’t have a boyfriend. Who has been spreading rumors about me?!”

Upon hearing Wen Nian’s question, Shen Jun’s brows furrowed slightly, and he swiftly retrieved a photo of Wen Nian from his social circle of friends. “I’ve seen you together with him, going to and from school on multiple occasions,” he explained.

Wen Nian took the phone from Shen Jun and held it up, facing him. She asked, her expression filled with complexity, “Don’t you think we bear a resemblance to each other?”

Shen Jun said sourly, “You’re trying to say that you two look like husband and wife, right?”

Wen Nian was perplexed. Even the brightest students have moments when their minds don’t function optimally. “Let’s consider a different perspective. Is it possible that they are biological siblings, sharing the same mother?”

Realization dawned on Shen Jun. Then, he was overjoyed. “Yes, yes, yes. You two might be siblings!”

Wen Nian gazed at the unusual, silly expression on Shen Jun’s face and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. She then handed the phone back to Shen Jun.

Shen Jun accepted the phone with a silly smile plastered on his face. However, he quickly remembered that Wen Nian had not given her answer yet, so he anxiously inquired, “So, have you agreed to be my girlfriend?”

Wen Nian observed the anxious expression on Shen Jun’s face and fell silent for a moment. Logically, it would be wise not to discuss matters of love before she completed her revenge plan. However, now that she had shattered that delicate barrier, no one understood her feelings towards Shen Jun better than herself.

She didn’t want to let the opportunity slip away. After being reborn, shouldn’t she seize every opportunity that came her way?

Wen Nian raised her gaze to meet Shen Jun’s eyes and offered him a warm smile. “I agree.”

Shen Jun smiled and enveloped Wen Nian in his embrace. Unable to contain her happiness, Wen Nian couldn’t help but smile back.

As Wen Nian sat at the dressing table and began applying her makeup once more, she examined her red and puffy eyes, the askew fake eyelashes, and the smudged black eyeliner in the mirror.

Wen Nian felt a newfound admiration for Shen Jun. Despite her current appearance, he had bravely confessed his feelings, and it became increasingly challenging for her to doubt his affection.

The makeup artist began applying makeup on Wen Nian once again, having previously used ice to reduce the swelling. Wen Nian had managed to adjust her mindset and patiently waited until it was nearly nine in the evening before resuming the interrupted scene.

Mu Ci remained composed despite the circumstances, but upon seeing the police, her face paled. She expressed her desire to provide valuable information, stating that Chen Wei couldn’t have taken his own life just half a month before the college entrance examination. As she continued speaking, her agitation grew, and her eyes turned red when the police assured her that they would conduct a thorough investigation.

The sinister laughter of the five demons vanished from the campus, leaving behind an eerie silence. Mu Ci had initially believed that all of this would come at the price of Chen Wei’s life, a sacrifice for the victory of the underdogs against the powerful. However, reality delivered a harsh slap to her face, shattering her illusions..
