However, Wen Yun never intended to become a second Wen Yun. If it weren't for the fact that tea talk was linked to survival time and she had to find opportunities to boost her tea flavor to prolong her life from time to time, she wouldn't have bothered to say a single word that didn't fit her personality.
Wen Yun initially thought this was the beginning of the reborn person's probing, but the next few days passed peacefully. Ruan Yu didn't ask her any more probing questions. Whether it was morning exercise, doing homework, taking a bath, or three meals a day, everything proceeded as usual.
Even the "secret observation team" was unusually quiet.
Wen Yun never added Ruan Yu to that group, but she vaguely felt that the troublemaking "veterans" in the large team must have created another group. After all, with Lin Qiqi exposing herself in the group, it was no longer "safe".
Whether the news of Lin Qiqi's public apology didn't reach the ears of the Wen family elders, or whether they simply didn't care about such things, even though Ruan Yu was the victim in the incident, Wen Yun never heard them mention it at the dinner table once before the start of the school term.
"The care and concern my parents give me is all fake!"
On the morning of the day she left for school, Wen Yun tidied Ruan Yu's hair while muttering to herself.
Ruan Yu, wearing her newly ironed school uniform, didn't say a word. She sat obediently in front of the dressing table, letting Ruan Yu play with her hair and put on new hair clips.
After a few days of getting to know her, she discovered that this person disliked neither the Wen family elders nor the housekeeper, Aunt Ge, and would always try to extract benefits from them for her.
If she doesn't accept it, the person will be in a difficult position, but will still respect her choice. The person won't force her to accept something she doesn't want.
Ruan Yu had never met such a person before, and her curiosity was piqued. She even began to speculate about the person's real age and experiences based on her actions.
She was optimistic for the time being that Wen Yun probably wouldn't come back, so she wanted to learn as much as possible about the person she was with now.
I want to know why she is so good to me, and I also want to know why she chose to replace Wen Yun instead of someone else.
She was used to living behind a mask in her past life, so she was very good at disguising herself. Wen Yun was completely unaware of this. She just felt that the protagonist seemed to have become closer to her after the day Lin Qiqi apologized, and her expression was no longer always the standard smile.
On August 27, the first day of school for senior high school students at Langying Foreign Language School, after helping Ruan Yu fix her hair, the two went out and got into a car, driving all the way to the school.
"Your seat has been moved to the back of the classroom, by the window."
On the way, Wen Yun looked down at her phone and said, "If you feel uncomfortable sitting there or are bullied, be sure to tell me immediately, and I will go to the homeroom teacher to report it."
“I can find the homeroom teacher myself,” Ruan Yu reminded softly, a hint of displeasure in her voice.
Over the past few days, she felt that this person's occasional "concern" seemed to be treating her like a child.

Chapter 17
After nearly being exposed by Ruan Yu that day, Wen Yun, in order to survive, would try her best to make her presence known to Ruan Yu whenever she had the chance, and try her best to be considerate (and flatter) her.
Although Ruan Yu never explicitly said so, and never asked her, Wen Yun knew very well that her disguise was now practically nonexistent!
She couldn't understand why Ruan Yu could accept the bizarre event that "Wen Yun's soul has been replaced" so quickly, and why her attitude towards her changed so rapidly.
Logically speaking, the original owner was the one who hurt her, the culprit who drove her to the brink of despair and ultimately committed suicide. She could be considered her mortal enemy. However, after being reborn, she found that her mortal enemy's personality had changed drastically and that he was taking care of her in every way. Shouldn't she suspect that he was just putting on an act again?
After all, in the early stages of the original story, the original owner was indeed the only person in the Wen family who was kind to Ruan Yu. It was precisely because of this that the original owner was able to deceive the naive Ruan Yu and lead her step by step into the trap he had set.
Wen Yun was completely baffled and had been thinking about this problem for several days. Now, hearing that Ruan Yu seemed a little unhappy, she felt inexplicably relaxed and looked up at her with a smile: "Okay, as long as you dare to speak up."
Today, only senior high school students were registering. When they set off, they didn't encounter the morning rush hour, and the car drove smoothly all the way to the entrance of Langying School.
Ruan Yu took out her student card and got off the car with Wen Yun. After swiping her card to enter the campus, she deliberately walked side by side with Wen Yun. From time to time, she could see students helping teachers carry review materials and desks and chairs, walking between the teaching building and the administration building.
Class 9's classroom is on the first floor. You can get there by passing through a wisteria-covered trellis and then through an indoor corridor; you don't even need to climb stairs.
As they approached the classroom, Wen Yun deliberately quickened her pace, walking ahead of Ruan Yu. She glanced at the class and, sensing that almost everyone was present, hurriedly told the system, "Prepare to use [bulingbuling] on Ruan Yu."
As soon as Ruan Yu entered the classroom, she noticed that all eyes were on her.
Because of her past life experiences, she didn't find this strange at all, and even looked indifferently at her classmates who had isolated and criticized her.
To her surprise, as soon as she turned her head, she heard several classmates scream excitedly.
"Aaaaaaah!!"
"Look at me! Look at me!"
"I love you so much!!! I'm going crazy!!"
"Wow, she's so cute!"
Amidst wave after wave of screams, many students even began waving their hands vigorously, their movements exaggerated to the extreme, resembling fervent fans cheering for their idols.
Ruan language: ? ? ?
She was stunned by this sudden turn of events. When she came to her senses, she was already being led to her seat by the hand, her ears still ringing.
Wen Yun was almost embarrassed; she hadn't expected the group charm prop to be so effective.
Fortunately, the charm effect only lasted for five seconds. By the time she led Ruan Yu to her seat, the screams around them had gradually subsided, and the entire classroom quickly fell into a deathly silence.
It's easy to guess that the students who were just under the spell are now questioning their existence.
Apart from Lin Qiqi, no one in the class had ever seen Ruan Yu in person. After the effect wore off, the students who had joined the "Secret Observation Team" group and read the news about the transfer student realized who they had just been swooning over.
Soon, in a group chat unknown to Wen Yun and Ruan Yu, anonymous wails began to flood the screen.
[Anonymous] Holy crap, this is so embarrassing!!
[Anonymous] Is this transfer student using some kind of spell?! It felt like the whole class was going crazy just now!
[Anonymous] Were there any normal people left in our class just now?
[Anonymous]...Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered, Wen Yun didn't seem to react?
[Anonymous] I'm trembling with fear; the thought is terrifying!
[Anonymous] What are you thinking? Have you been watching too many TV dramas or reading too many novels?
...
Ruan Yu's desk had just been moved from the warehouse and was covered in dust. After Wen Yun returned to her seat and put down her schoolbag, she took out the original owner's pink rag from the drawer. As she passed the table under the blackboard at the back of the classroom, she casually took the basin and went to the restroom to get water.
She had just turned on the tap and hadn't even filled it with much water when she saw Ruan Yu come to her side, holding a rag in her hand, but her schoolbag was gone.
"Where did you put your schoolbag?" Wen Yun couldn't help but ask.
“On the table in front of me,” Ruan Yu replied. “She said she doesn’t need the table for the time being, but she can watch it for me in the meantime.”
Wen Yun racked her brains for a moment, but couldn't remember who sat in front of her. She casually replied, "That's good."
"Did you do that just now?" Ruan Yu suddenly asked.
Wen Yun:? ? !
"What are you talking about?" she tried to play dumb.
"The magic that suddenly drove the whole class into madness." Ruan Yu looked at her, her voice soft yet certain. "You cast it, didn't you?"
She had never seen such an abnormal reaction from her classmates in her past life. Moreover, she was certain that the screams and shouts were directed at her.
Wen Yun paused for a few seconds, then deliberately put on a nonchalant expression: "So?"
Since her identity is already in jeopardy, and the system only forbids her from voluntarily admitting that she is a transmigrator, she doesn't mind giving the protagonist an extra layer of mystery when they see her.
People are always subconsciously afraid of the unknown, which is also a small way to survive.
Ruan Yu simply smiled, looked down at the basin, and softly reminded, "The water is almost overflowing."
Wen Yun hurriedly turned off the tap, feeling her heart pounding with anxiety.
After carrying the basin of water back to the classroom, Wen Yun remembered what Ruan Yu had just said and glanced at the student in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly.
That was Su Manying, the only academically gifted supporting character in the class who was willing to befriend Ruan Yu, but who did not come from a wealthy family.
However, due to the original owner's repeated instigation and smear campaign, and after witnessing the "solid evidence" of her misdeeds time and time again, Su Manying finally left Ruan Yu and disappointedly warned her to "take care of yourself."
Wen Yun had mixed feelings about Su Manying. Even though the original owner was indeed skilled at twisting the truth, and had the help of her vicious friends like Lin Qiqi to gang up on her, as a supporting character defined by the author as "righteous," she should always stand by the protagonist's side.
Since you are upright, you should try to find out the truth. Even if you don't have the ability to clear the name of an innocent person, you shouldn't abandon her when she is most desperate and in pain.
However, considering Su Manying's unremarkable family background, she could understand her choice—Su Manying was not from a wealthy family and only got into Langying School because of her excellent grades. She really couldn't afford to offend a wealthy family.
The classroom remained quiet. Wen Yun placed the basin of water on the ground, walked up to Su Manying, and said with a smile, "Su, is that you? Thank you for watching Xiaoyu's bag! Our Xiaoyu just transferred here and may not be used to the new environment yet. We'll have to trouble you to take care of her for a while."
The academically gifted girl wore a low ponytail, exuding an intellectual and generous air. Upon seeing that the person in front of her was the eldest daughter of the wealthy Wen family, and upon hearing these words, she quickly pushed up her glasses and said in a serious tone, "You're too kind. It's only right to take care of a new classmate."
