Chapter 592: Chapter 243 Punishment
Duan Nannan’s brother?
And Gao Xiang?
Since He Tiantian returned to reality, she wasn’t just focused on studying: in the early mornings or evenings, she would also go to the sports field to run and practice martial arts.
As a result, her physical fitness continually improved; she had already developed muscles and abs, no longer appearing dry and frail.
He Tiantian also paid a lot of attention to nutrition and diet.
She had money in her hands, not just the sum she got from her elder cousin He Shengnan, but also "child support" from her nominal father He Shengli, as well as the money He Tiantian earned from interpreting.
With proper nutrition and ample exercise, along with "Junior Master Uncle’s Unlimited Decision" as a method for internal cultivation,
several months had passed, and she had not only cultivated some inner strength, but her height had also increased by 3 centimeters, finally breaking through 163 cm.
Her weight increased to 95 jin, but, surprisingly, her appearance looked even more perfect than when she weighed in the 80s.
Previously too skinny, flat as a plank, without any sense of beauty, she rather looked malnourished.
Now, though, she appeared very slender, but with curves in all the right places, the protrusions protruding... Woohoo, finally, not a flat dumpling but plump little buns.
Every time He Tiantian took a bath and saw herself, she couldn’t help but feel like bursting into tears of joy.
She had finally shed the refugee-like image, gradually transforming into the likeness of a "little fairy."
Apart from physical transformation and a leap in demeanor, the most critical improvement was in her six senses.
He Tiantian had exceptionally good hearing; thus, the whispering of a few girls sitting in the front row was precisely captured by her.
She lifted her head and glanced at the few girls who were talking, her temples twitching involuntarily.
Uh, it seemed to be somewhat face-slapping.
A few days ago, she had said she didn’t hate Zhou Zixuan.
She also felt that Zhou Zixuan was just a spoiled princess, forming cliques to ostracize people she disliked and ignoring others.
It wasn’t too severe a hurt, at most not very kind.
But now, seeing Zhou Zixuan, Liu Qian, Wu Xiaohan, and others pointing and whispering about herself, it was impossible for her to be as magnanimous and forgiving as the Holy Mother.
Not to mention, among them, Liu Qian and Wu Xiaohan were He Tiantian’s roommates.
Well, even if they lived under the same roof, with different value systems and temperaments, they couldn’t play well together.
He Tiantian comforted herself with these thoughts, but seeing such a scene, she still felt uncomfortable.
"...Actually, it’s not really face-slapping; I truly don’t resent Zhou Zixuan anymore, but it doesn’t mean I have to like her!"
He Tiantian quickly adjusted her mindset.
Relationships between people aren’t just about love or hate; there are many more mundane feelings.
Just treat them as strangers with whom you lack affinity; not hating, yet also not liking.
Everyone is just parallel lines without intersection, not interfering with or bothering each other.
Though there are occasional criticisms and gossip, these don’t quite reach the level of needing to take them seriously.
Zhou Zixuan really was just another stranger in the same classroom, nothing more to it.
However, that Duan Nannan’s brother, hmm, might be a bit of trouble.
He Tiantian thought to herself, her hands not stopping as she continued scrolling through her phone.
"Tiantian, be careful, yesterday was the weekend, and when I went to the school printing factory, I saw a dark and tall man loitering around the school’s back entrance; Duan Nannan was with him, and she even called him brother!"
Again, it was her roommate, the study model Chen Nan, who rarely put down her textbooks and papers. During the flag-raising on Monday, taking advantage of the lineup, Chen Nan quietly came up to He Tiantian and whispered the warning.
Having been roommates with Chen Nan for two or three months, He Tiantian had come to understand this girl, who came from a rural area and did not have a very happy family.
He Tiantian, who often time-traveled through novel worlds, habitually applied web novel tropes to real life.
As for summarizing Chen Nan’s life over the past decade or so, He Tiantian felt that Chen Nan seemed to have grabbed the script of a modern female lead with a large tragic backstory.
Her family was poor, her parents favored sons over daughters, and originally, she should have followed the other village girls, finishing nine years of compulsory education, then forced to work in the city.
Money earned would be left behind only for essential living expenses, with most of it handed over to the family.
To help save up for her brother’s or brother’s dowry, for buying houses and cars.
When it came time for her to marry, she would again be harvested by her parents for a dowry, then marry into her husband’s family without bringing anything.
To bear children, serve the husband’s family, struggle for a son in early years, and once she had a son, together with her husband, they would exploit their daughter to support their son, repeating the same cycle that once hurt her by her own parents!
