Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Past Events (1)_1"I also want to study hard. After school, I want them to tutor me too," Zhu Li said, her round face flushing red as she finally stated her purpose.
"If you want to go, then go. I don’t need it," Shangguan You replied, leaving Zhu Li with the cold sight of her retreating back.
Flipping through the textbook in her hands, although it was all knowledge she had studied before, it had been a long time since she’d touched it. What she needed now was time. As long as she reviewed it thoroughly, the first-year high school exams would be a piece of cake for her. Besides, she planned to skip grades and take the college entrance exam directly; she didn’t have three years to waste here.
As soon as the class bell rang, Shangguan You was about to get up and leave when a tall figure blocked her path. "Youyou, I’ll tutor you today."
"I’m busy." She had many things to do today. She had been too tired yesterday and hadn’t had a chance to look into matters concerning her past life. Today, she wanted to thoroughly investigate the situation with that treacherous couple, as well as her grandfather. She wondered how her grandfather was doing. The thought of him ignited a profound sorrow within her.
"Youyou, how can you be so heartless to me?" Gui Mo said, his expression mournful, as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.
"Youyou, there are some things I don’t understand either, and I want to get good grades too. Let’s go to the lakeside and have Gui Mo tutor us, okay?" Zhu Li asked, her expression eager and fawning. To be alone with the school’s heartthrob was a great opportunity, one she didn’t want Youyou to ruin.

Shangguan You’s lips twitched sharply. Next semester, she would jump directly to the third year and take the college entrance exam, so her time with Zhu Li wouldn’t be long. Moreover, she was returning to Beijing for the winter holidays. Remembering the first person who had stood up for her in this new life, she couldn’t help but nod. In this unfamiliar world, Zhu Li was the first person she saw upon opening her eyes, regardless of any ulterior motives. She didn’t want to disappoint her.
"Alright, you two go ahead. I’ll join you in a bit." Shangguan You’s lips twitched again, and her cool voice sounded once more.
"Youyou, where are you going? I’ll go with you!" Gui Mo’s charming eyes lit up, and he took a swift step to block her path. This was a rare chance, so incredibly rare, that she had finally agreed!
"I’m going to the restroom. Do you want to follow?" Shangguan You rolled her eyes and sidestepped Gui Mo.
"Youyou, we’ll wait for you at our usual spot. Hurry up!" Zhu Li’s voice called from far behind her.
"Mm," Shangguan You acknowledged simply.
Inside the villa, Shangguan You closed her bedroom door and turned on her computer. She browsed familiar websites,
