Chapter 1 Prologue

  "Shino, are you going back to school tomorrow?"

  "Uh-huh, I'll go tomorrow afternoon."

  "Alright then, I'll come over tomorrow afternoon and we can go together?"

  "Alright, okay."

  Jin Xiaoan finished dinner, it was already eight o'clock, she called the driver to come and pick her up, and reluctantly left Qian Shi's home. She had a great time staying at Qian Shi's house that day.

  The next day at noon, the sun was shining brightly overhead. Although it was already October, the temperature had not dropped at all, and the air was hot and stifling. Qianshino felt a bad premonition that something unpleasant would happen today.

  A white Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her house and she recognized at a glance that it was Jin Xiaoan who had arrived.

  "Time to get in, Xiao Nuo." Jin Xiaoan opened the car door and said to Qian Xiao Nuo.

  "Good."

  "Xiao Nuo, I left you yesterday and you were fine, what's wrong with you today?" Jin Xiao An saw that Qian Shi Nuo had been silent since getting into the car, feeling a bit strange.

  "No." Qian Shi said awkwardly.

  "Xiao Nuo, are you blind? It's written all over your face that I'm unhappy."

  "Is there? Is there?" Qian Shi Nuo rubbed his face randomly and asked.

  "Never mind, I won't force you to say anything if you don't want to. But Xiao Nu, if there's something on your mind, please don't keep it from me, or I'll be worried."

  "Xiao An, don't worry, how could I hide it from you?"

  Qian Shi Nu really didn't deceive Jin Xiao An, she herself didn't know what she was worried about either. Anyway, from the moment she got up in the morning, her right eyelid had been jumping non-stop, and with the sultry weather, her sixth sense told her that something would happen, only her sixth sense didn't tell her what exactly, anyway it wasn't a good thing.

  Mercedes is running fast on the road, if it were a bus, it would take about an hour and a half to arrive, but by private car, it only takes 40 minutes.

  "Xiao An, thank you so much today."

  "Xiao An, don't be polite with me, we're equals." Jin Xiaoan said straightforwardly.

  "Let's go in then."

  Jin Xiaoan walked into the school gate with Qian Shi Nuo's arm in hers, and Qian Shi Nuo glanced at the time.

  "Oh, Xiaoan, it's already 11 o'clock, let's go eat at the restaurant first?"

  "Alright, alright, I was wondering why I'm feeling a bit hungry." Jin Xiaoan always gets energized when she hears about food.

  Along the way, all sorts of people passed by, pointing and discussing something, with their mouths still talking about it. Qian Shi Nuo felt that this atmosphere was very wrong.

  "It's that long-haired girl, she is Chisato..."

  "I knew she was no good from the very first glance, I didn't expect her to do something as sneaky and underhanded as this, this woman is really too ruthless."

  "Shino, why does everyone who passes by us look at us? Is there something on our faces?" Jin Xiaoan said, taking out a small mirror from her bag and starting to examine her own face carefully, "Shino, I don't have anything on my face, do you?"

  Jin Xiaoan moved the mirror to Qian Shi's face, and saw that Qian Shi's eyes were staring straight up, with a hint of fear in his gaze, his mouth began to tremble, it's over, it's really over, Qian Shi thought to himself.

  "Shino, did you see a ghost?" Jin Xiaoan asked puzzled, her eyes also slowly looking up.

  "What's this? What is this all about? Isn't this you?"

  Jin Xiaoan saw a large poster-like thing on the wall, clearly showing Qian Shi Nuo wearing a duck tongue hat, burning a bag of paper. However, people with discerning eyes could see that the beautifully packaged envelopes were obviously love letters.

  Jin Xiao'an pushed Qian Shi Nu, and Qian Shi Nu stood still like a statue. "Shi Nu, isn't this the love letter that Feng Huan Zhen gave you last time? Why did you burn it?"

  "I, Xiao An, was forced to." Qian Shi Nuo finally spoke up, she hadn't expected that her burning love letters would be photographed by someone.

  "Then who forced you?"

  "I..."

  Qian Shi Nu hadn't finished speaking before she couldn't say anything more, she wanted to escape, escape very far away, she could feel that the place she was in made it impossible for her to breathe.

  "Xinuo, where are you going?"

  Jin Xiaoan chased after him all the way, but with her running speed, how could she possibly catch up to Qian Shi Nuo? Before long, she lost sight of Qian Shi Nuo.

  "Qian Shi Nuo, where else do you want to run?"

  Qian Shi Nu was running along the road when she was suddenly blocked by a group of women, all of whom were holding sticks in their hands. They glared at Qian Shi Nu with malice, eager to flay her alive. Qian Shi Nu retreated in terror as they stepped closer and closer.

  "Zhang Qing, what do you want to do? Don't cause trouble here, this is still a school." Qian Shi Nuo only recognized the leader because Zhang Qing was from their class, but she didn't recognize the few girls behind her. However, it could be inferred that they were probably also owners of those love letters.

  "Hmph, you're quite scared, aren't you, Qian Shi Nuo? Look around, is this still a school?" Zhang Qing said, not backing down in the slightest, instead becoming even more arrogant.

  Qian Shi Nuo looked around and was shocked to find that she had unknowingly run out of school. The place was desolate with no one in sight, and even if she wanted to shout for help, there would be no one to hear her. Qian Shi Nuo realized that she was in a very dangerous situation, and wondered how she had ended up running here without thinking.

  "I apologize for the matter of that love letter, I was forced to do it, really not voluntarily." Qian Shi Nuo knew he was definitely doomed now, all he could do was beg for mercy.

  "You said you were forced by someone, then tell me, who forced you?"

  "The wind, Feng Jie Xuan, is what he forced me to burn." Qian Shi Nu told the truth, mentioning Feng Jie Xuan would scare them off. Qian Shi Nu thought it was a good idea, perhaps the name of this broom star could save her life at this moment.

  "You really are tired of living, daring to reveal even Young Master Feng's name. Let's see if we don't beat you to death." Zhang Qing said, waving her hand to signal the girls behind her that it was time to take action.

  What! The Sweeping Star is just the Sweeping Star, this life can only bring bad luck to others. I was too naive, thinking that his name could still save himself, it seems that this time he really has to die in this place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop. Dad and mom are unfilial daughters, can't continue to take care of you, Qianshi Nu squats on the ground, looking at the sticks flying towards him, waiting for the god of death to take himself away.

  "Stop!"

  Qian Shi Nu only felt a tall and majestic figure appearing in front of her, but why did the voice sound so familiar.

  "Wind, Young Master Wind, this woman actually said that burning the love letter was forced by you. We'll teach her a good lesson for you." Zhang Qing said as he swung his stick, but it was accurately and effortlessly caught by Feng Huanzhen, who then easily pulled the stick out of Zhang Qing's hand and threw it heavily to the ground.

  "Who dares to move!" Feng Jie shouted angrily, "Get out of here, all of you!"

  Zhang Qing looked at this situation and didn't think it was right, so she quietly led her sisters away.

  Qian Shi Nu sat on the ground, let out a breath of relief, and finally managed to save herself.

  "Are you alright?" Feng Jie asked, crouching down.

  "Sweeping Star, you said burning love letters was a good idea. Well done, I almost got myself killed." Qian Shi Nuo is now furious, having just returned from the gates of hell.

  "Hey, Qian Shi Nuo, didn't you just see that I saved your life? Now you're acting like nothing's wrong, not even a word of thanks, and yet you're blaming me? Are you stupid or something? You can't even burn a love letter without getting caught, are you a pig or what?" Feng Jue Chen said bluntly.

  "You made me burn the love letter, and you still think I'm stupid. You... damn it! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done it!" Qian Shi Nu got up in anger, clearly having been harmed by this unlucky star, and now they've brought about a disaster that will cost lives. Qian Shi Nu angrily patted his butt and walked away.

  Qian Shi Nuo, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest. Feng Jue Chen looked at Qian Shi Nuo's receding back, thinking silently to himself, his eyes filled with determination.

  "Shi Nuo, where did you run off to? You know I was worried sick about you?" As soon as she entered the school gate, Jin Xiao An rushed to Shi Nuo's side and asked her questions. She had already searched many places in this school but found nothing.

  "Xiao An, I almost didn't get to see you." Qian Shi Nu saw Jin Xiao An suddenly hug Jin Xiao An and cry sadly.

  "Xiao Nuo, what's going on? What do you mean I almost didn't get to see you?"

  "You don't know, because of the love letter thing, those girls now can't wait to kill me, I was just blocked by them."

  "What? Tianuo, are you hurt?" Jin Xiaoan hastily turned Qian Tianuo around and checked all over for any wounds.

  "Xiao An, don't look, I'm fine."

  After hearing Qian Shi's words, Jin Xiaoan finally felt at ease.

  Class 1-2.

  It's been ten minutes since class started, but Qian Shi Nuo is still lingering at the stairs. Every time she thinks about what happened outside school today, she can't help but tremble with fear. She has seen people fighting on TV before, but she never thought she would be threatened by someone wielding a stick herself.

  "Qian Shi Nuo, what are you doing standing at the staircase?" Chen Ban asked puzzledly as he walked past the corridor and saw Qian Shi Nuo lingering around the staircase.

  "Teacher, I..."

  "Hurry up and go to class."

  "Oh, okay." Qian Shi Nu found it strange that the whole school should know about her burning love letters by now, yet why hadn't their class advisor called her in for a talk? Qian Shi Nu had always thought she would be summoned to the office for some ideological education, but what she didn't expect was that Teacher Chen seemed completely unaware of the incident.

  Qian Shi walked into Class 2 with her head down, not even daring to breathe. She could imagine that the people around her would start gossiping again. However, from the moment she walked in until she sat down at her seat, a total of ten minutes, she surprisingly didn't hear a single word, let alone any words about herself. For a moment, she even thought she had tinnitus.

  "Senpai, you're actually still alive and walking into the classroom, I really underestimated you."
