Dorm 403 was a four-person room, and everyone was a student from the sophomore Experintal Class Seven of high school.
One would think that a few girls of the sa age, having lived together from the first year of high school, would have ford a good relationship.
In fact, that was indeed the case, just not for Yu Xiaohua.
Su Li, Shi Tong, and Lin Yaoguang, who had gone ho for a holiday today, were close to each other, but Yu Xiaohua was the odd one out.
It wasn’t that the others ostracized her, rather it was her strange pride and the conspicuous inferiority complex that made the others uncomfortable.
They were all from the sa class, and the others had tried countless tis to include Yu Xiaohua in their group, but to no avail.
When they eventually gave up, Yu Xiaohua’s occasional resentnt and dissatisfaction were inexplicable, as if now.
Just a mont ago, Shi Tong had asked not only Su Li but also Yu Xiaohua. Yet, from the scene Su Li was witnessing now, Yu Xiaohua probably felt bitter again.
She was always like this, carrying a gloomy face every day, looking like a pitiful figure bullied by others.
Su Li knew that probably her lofty pride was acting up again, most likely feeling like Shi Tong, who had asked her first then Yu Xiaohua, did so as an afterthought, as if they didn’t care about her at all.
With bad skin, poor family background, and poor academic performance; in her eyes, they were from another world entirely.
Just from looking at Yu Xiaohua’s silent figure, Su Li could guess most of her thoughts.
Because more than once under the shadows on Yu Xiaohua’s face, she had seen those jealous gazes.
However, overthinking is an illness, and Yu Xiaohua was probably deeply afflicted.
The simple campus life prioritizes temperant and compatibility in student relationships.
Yu Xiaohua didn’t seem to grasp this, she was like a mouse hiding in a dark corner.
If, and I an if, Yu Xiaohua had not undergone a strange transformation, she would have been one of those students in the school who was unremarkable and easily overlooked.
After graduation, everyone would part ways, and it’s quite possible no one would rember that such a girl had existed.
Even her dormmates Shi Tong and the others, years later, might vaguely recall: Oh, I actually lived in the sa room with her for three years.
But if ’if’ exists, then it has nothing to do with Su Li.
Su Li put down the book in her hand, lifted the corner of the bed curtain again, and began to scrutinize Yu Xiaohua from across the way.
In the dorm, besides Yu Xiaohua with her basic cotton gauze mosquito net, everyone else used tent-like bed curtains.
These bed curtains are advantageous because once you draw the curtains, you have a small world of your own with private space and convenience.
Unlike Yu Xiaohua’s, which not only let mosquitoes in but also left her every move exposed to everyone else’s eyes.
At first, Yu Xiaohua just sat silently, occasionally wiping away tears while keeping her head down.
This stubborn silence, it seems, often occurs in students from impoverished families.
Isn’t there a saying, "The child of a poor family matures early"?
Indeed, during the entire first year of high school, she was exactly like that, but under the other dorm mates’ loving care, she seed to change a lot.
And now, as if her silence had beco unbearable, Su Li was still indifferent, which made it even harder for Yu Xiaohua to accept.
The silent grievance turned into a faint sob.
In the space where only two people were present, it was noticeably obvious, even if Su Li wanted to ignore it, it was impossible.
Why do you turn your back, if you’re really afraid of others noticing, just shut your mouth, why make any noise at all.
Moreover, this kind of baseless sorrow and seasonal depression make the people around them especially exhausted.
No wonder the others wanted to stay as far away as possible.
The most accurate way to sum up Yu Xiaohua was that she was brimming with negative energy.
Su Li didn’t imdiately react upon hearing the noise but quietly and thoughtfully sized up Yu Xiaohua again.
At the ti, this classmate looked plain, slightly stocky, and her acne-scarred chin carried deep-seated self-esteem issues.
Yet, it was such a girl, poor in academics and looks, not particularly pleasant in character, who pushed the original-self into an irredeemable situation.
From the mories of the original-self, Yu Xiaohua’s change seed to begin at the start of their senior high school year.
Just one sumr vacation later, Yu Xiaohua’s appearance gradually changed significantly.
Not only did her skin beco fairer and smoother, but she also slimd down, there seed to be no change in her facial features at a glance, but upon closer inspection, there was a world of difference.
It was said she had gotten plastic surgery, but such a theory isn’t plausible in such a short period, and her face bore no marks of surgery, not to ntion her family couldn’t afford such expenses.
Later on, in their interactions, the changes beca more pronounced, and she quickly transford into a stunning beauty.
Not only that, Yu Xiaohua also seed to have activated cheat codes, acing tests and topping the ranks each ti.
Uncomprehending, people could only attribute this to her late ’blossoming’.
So individuals blossom late, but once they do, their learning pace skyrockets.
In truth, even with Yu Xiaohua’s improvents, she was of no real concern to others.
You have your broad avenues and I have my narrow path, yet so choose not to follow their own paths but instead squeeze onto soone else’s. It seed they believed this would prove sothing, but the reasons for such unhealthy psychology were baffling.
And the original-self was the unfortunate one targeted by this yandere.
After Yu Xiaohua’s appearance improved strikingly and she rose to beco a top student, she quickly beca celebrated as the beauty queen of the school.
The original-self and she beca known as the twin flowers of the school.
But Yu Xiaohua didn’t seem content with this and instead always sought to outshine the original-self.
The original-self didn’t care about such things; she had no need to compete with anyone.
No one knew of her distinguished family background. Even without the advantages of beauty or academic prowess, she could live well.
So people are destined to be the winners in life from birth, but because of Yu Xiaohua’s insanity, the original-self t with a terrible fate, and even her family suffered.
In high school, Yu Xiaohua’s antics seed minor, always just striving to be one step ahead of the original-self, without doing anything too extre, but after graduation, the true horror of this person ca to light.
It’s a mystery how Yu Xiaohua, from her ager family background, managed to connect with the top echelons of society.
