Chapter 842: Chapter 568: Sinister Intentions

Lan Shuixian had someone bring out a fine bottle of rare wine, said to be a treasure from the 19th century, extremely precious and hard to come by on the market.

Pouring into two glasses, Lan Shuixian raised hers, wanting to clink glasses with Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng also raised her glass, and the two of them gently clinked.

Xiaofeng glanced at the wine bottle and smiled faintly, “You are quite generous, bringing out such an exquisite wine.”

Such wine, if brought to the 21st century, would be worth millions per bottle, commonly known as the “wealthy wine.”

“To entertain good friends, naturally, one must bring out the best wine.” Lan Shuixian took a small sip; her way of drinking was beautiful and graceful, as if she was born for wine.

Xiaofeng also took a small sip. To be honest, she didn’t think the wine was particularly good, not as tasty as the rice wine she brewed herself.

It was indeed a famous wine, with a good mouthfeel; a sip left a fragrant taste all over her mouth.

“This toast is to wish you success in your exams and entry into your dream university.” Lan Shuixian raised her glass again.

“Thank you.” Xiaofeng took another sip. “If you had a chance to go back to the past, would you want to return?”

“It’s quite good here, why go back?” Lan Shuixian laughed, finding Xiaofeng’s question a little odd. “Just like you, here you have two pairs of parents who love you, and a husband who cherishes you, plus a pair of beloved children. You never even imagined such a life before, did you? Would you go back?”

“Have you considered the possibility that if we go back, the original owners of these bodies might return? Our current lives don’t truly belong to us, and if they return, and we leave, returning the lives that belong to them, wouldn’t that be good?” When she first met Lan Shuixian, this Lan Shuixian hadn’t yet arrived.

The original owner would faint from time to time, which probably meant too weak a constitution, eventually entirely taken over.

“Did you initially want to get rid of me, thinking I was preventing you from returning to this body?” Xiaofeng suddenly asked.

“Did I want to get rid of you? When was that? Did you get it wrong?”

“You really are changeable,” Xiaofeng looked at her. “Whether or not you did, you surely know in your heart.”

“Ah, to speak of it, I was also deceived by a Taoist Priest, who said that in this world only one soul from Another World can survive. At the time, I could only come out at night in the original owner’s body, not during the day. Hearing him say this, I was naturally panicked. When I found out you and I came from the same place, naturally, it stirred my thoughts. There’s a saying, ‘if one doesn’t act for oneself, heaven will punish and earth will destroy.’ If the situation were you, you’d surely have chosen like I did, wouldn’t you?”

Being in this era, of course, you can’t just leave easily; you naturally have to find a way to stay.

“So, someone can see us and even knows we don’t truly belong to this world?” Xiaofeng furrowed her brows.

She believed that Lan Shuixian’s words must be true.

“Who knows, maybe he was just talking nonsense, and I took it seriously. Now it seems, he was just talking nonsense. Look at us now, aren’t we sitting together fine? You’re fine; I’m fine; everyone can get along peacefully.” Lan Shuixian spread her hands.

Xiaofeng smiled, “Indeed, sometimes some words are just to be heard, not taken seriously. Fortunately, I have a great life; otherwise, I might have died. What do you say?”

“That’s right.”

“Alright, I should head back.” Xiaofeng stood up, “By the way, I have something to give you.”

“What?” Lan Shuixian looked at Xiaofeng, not understanding why Xiaofeng wanted to give her something.

Xiaofeng took out a small box from her pocket, inside it lay a ginseng root. “You often felt dizzy before, probably because of poor health. This ginseng is for you; I hope it helps your health.”

“Thank you so much.” Lan Shuixian accepted it with a smile, “I’ll wait for your good news, and when you get into high school, I’ll pick a grand gift for you as well.”

“You’re too kind.”

Coming out of the club, Xiaofeng looked at the sky.

The sky was the same as ever.

Within Lan Shuixian’s words, there was a mention of a Taoist Priest, so whether this Taoist Priest was Wu Wei or at all related to Wu Wei, was yet unknown.

…

The day after tomorrow was the college entrance exam, and students were tightening their nerves in fear that any mistake tomorrow might affect their performance.

The two days before the exam, the school was also on break, allowing students to go home and study.

Seeing everyone about to leave, naturally, there were inevitable farewell moments among classmates.

Xiaonian and Shuiling were crying their hearts out, not willing to part.

Wang Jieyu walked up to Xiaofeng, “Sister, hello, I’m wishing you in advance to get into your dream university.”

“Thank you, the same to you.”

“I hope you perform exceptionally well; otherwise, becoming a laughingstock would be quite embarrassing for you, wouldn’t it?” Wang Jieyu was clearly alluding to the incident of cheating on the answers.

“You don’t need to worry about me. With that energy, you might as well spend it on studying. Get yourself into a university first, then talk.”

“Look at me, not mentioning good things, only saying old things.” Wang Jieyu chuckled lightly, “Here’s an exam bag I prepared for everyone, one for each person, including you, sister.”

Wang Jieyu indeed helped the whole class, preparing an exam bag for everyone so they could conveniently carry exam supplies and avoid being forgetful during the exams.

The gift was thoughtful.

“Thanks.” Xiaofeng looked at it; the bag was transparent, indeed very convenient, and she remembered something, “Xiaonian, Shuiling, and I also have something for our classmates.”

“Here it is, here it is; our stuff is here.” Xiaonian was directing two male classmates to move their things into the classroom.

“Xiaonian, what’s this?” Classmates looked at the two big boxes in front of them, not understanding what Xiaonian was giving everyone.

Shuiling smiled gently to the side, “Of course, it’s something good.”

“Let me tell you; this is called a tape recorder, a magic tool for learning English, very useful. It’s a new product from my sister’s company. My sister said since we’re all classmates, and everyone is about to go their separate ways, she wants to give everyone a token of her regard.” This thing, her brother’s market retail price was over a hundred, not cheap.

“I know this. I’ve heard it’s particularly useful and can be used for listening to music and for learning.”

“I heard it’s not cheap either. Truly a boss is a boss; such an expensive thing given to us just like that.”

“Everyone gets one. Since we are classmates once, there’s always a chance to meet again.”

“Thank you, sister; really, you’re the world’s best sister.” During this time, everyone had taken to calling Xiaofeng “sister” following Xiaonian’s lead.

Xiaofeng was indeed older than them, so accepting their call as “sister” wasn’t too much.

“As long as you all like it.”

Liu Shuang stood in front of Wang Jieyu, whose expression wasn’t pleasant, and said with disdain, “Jieyu, I think they are just trying to steal the spotlight intentionally. What does this mean, trying to show they are more generous?”

Wang Jieyu sneered coldly, “Whatever, let them have their moment. I want to see how they perform in the college entrance exam. Even giving recorders, with the exam the day after tomorrow, what does it mean, wanting our classmates to repeat the course?”

It was laughable, giving what and not something else, giving this thing.

Clearly a move with no good intentions in mind.

“Exactly, I guess their intentions aren’t pure, hoping that no one does well,” Liu Shuang echoed.

“Let them have their moment; let’s go.”

“Aren’t you taking one?” Liu Shuang asked as she saw Wang Jieyu begin to leave.

“I don’t care for that thing, truly laughable.” The Wang Family was a prominent family, not to mention one, even a thousand could be bought, no need for what she gave.

“I think my brother might just want one, wait for me; I’ll take one and leave.” Liu Shuang thought for a moment and decided to take one anyway.

There’s nothing wrong with not opposing money, is there?

Hearing that buying this thing oneself would cost over a hundred per unit, so expensive.

Over a hundred, why not take one for free?

Wang Jieyu gave her a disdainful glance, “Look at you, having no ambition.”

Liu Shuang chuckled and thought to herself, I can’t compare with someone like you, Young Lady, but was curious how Wang Jieyu planned to give Su Xiaofeng and the others trouble during the college entrance exams.

Wang Jieyu was known to her as someone who always got revenge, the Young Lady who never left a score unsettled. Last time, those three made her lose face, and she would certainly find a way to reclaim it.

Hearing the tone of her voice today, she seemed quite confident in them not doing well in the college entrance exam.

Liu Shuang suddenly remembered something, having heard the chief of invigilators included someone from the Wang family.

Thinking of this, Liu Shuang’s blood boiled with excitement.

Oh my, could there be a good show about to unfold during the college entrance exam day?
