Although Shen Minyao excelled in academics because she didn't want to get the unwanted attention of her classmates and peers; she made sure that she wouldn't ace her exams and avoid competing with them. She would only make sure that her scores in exams were sufficient for her to pass, and she didn't dare to answer all the questions.

However, the fox woman didn't share her host's opinions and decided to live her life according to her will and not for other people's convenience. In the past, during her time as Su Daji, women who dared to study were frowned upon. So being here in a school where she could learn more about humans and their culture, how could Shen Minyao ignore the lectures of their teachers?historical

Once her classes were done, Shen Minyao didn't pay attention to her classmates and went to the dormitory building where she stayed. Since she asked Fu Xiyan to get her a private room of her own, she needed to get her new keys at the reception area and move her things to her new room.

The old Shen Minyao used to share the room with three other occupants. As she opened the room she shared with others, her nose caught the familiar scent of body wash and lotion from where she stood. Wasn't this the same brand her host was using back at the Shen residence?

The door of the bathroom suddenly opened, revealing a girl the same age as Shen Minyao. She had a towel over her wet hair and was dressed casually. Obviously, she had just finished taking a bath, and the strong scent came out of the bathroom and spread within the room.

The fox ignored the young woman. Of course, she already knew what kind of roommates Shen Minyao had and how they treated her. She sauntered towards her closet and pulled out her clothes. Thankfully, her host didn't bring a lot of clothes here and only kept her books, so she wouldn't need to bring them with her every day.

Their two other roommates arrived as they were also done with their classes. They found Shen Minyao pulling her empty luggage and throwing her clothes inside.

"Yaoyao, you are back!" The girl—who had just come out of the bathroom—smiled brightly at Shen Minyao, but the latter chose to focus on packing her things. "I heard you got lost in the mountains and were hospitalized."

Shen Minyao frowned. If they were really concerned about the real Shen Minyao, they would have gone and visited her during her stay in the hospital. It was pointless for them to pretend that they cared about her as they were only taking advantage of her kindness towards them.

Because the real Shen Minyao was a young miss from a wealthy family, it was only natural that the foods and the things she had were way better than her peers. Cheng Lifan had spoiled her rotten, not having the heart to allow her stepdaughter to experience hardship in life.

"Are you going somewhere, Yaoyao? Why are you packing up your things?" Ming Shu asked curiously.

Of these three, only Ming Shu was the only one who treated Shen Minyao well. Although Ming Shu was the poorest amongst them, she never took advantage of the real Shen Minyao's kindness, unlike the other two roommates they had.

They ate the foods Fu Xiyan brought for Shen Minyao without asking her permission. The two also used Shen Minyao's things and designer brand clothes at will, never caring whether she agreed to it or not. The real Shen Minyao had been kind and generous towards them, helping them as she knew that their family's circumstances weren't as good as hers.

Alas, what she forgot was that when one extended one's hand to help someone, one better made sure they wouldn't devour one's whole arm in return. Did they just think that because Shen Minyao didn't say anything, she was alright with their treatment of her?

Whenever her mother sent food through Fu Xiyan, she would share all of it with her roommates. Whenever they were lacking something, she extended a hand to help them pay for it. They ate her food, used her things, and wore her expensive clothes; only for them to talk behind her back to other people.

Did they really think the real Shen Minyao was oblivious of it? She was not, but she would rather not make a scene out of it. Shen Minyao didn't have many friends at school and thought that these two were her good friends. That's why she was generous to them, so imagine her shock when she heard about the two spreading rumors about her, helping Shen Qing ruin her reputation within the school.

After all that she had done for them, Shen Minyao felt betrayed, but she could only blame herself for her stupidity. Because she blindly trusted these two, she had never thought that they were the first ones to stab her in the back when she wasn't looking.

The pain of betrayal from the people that were close to her was painful for Shen Minyao. She didn't care what strangers spoke about her, but it hurt to know that the people she cherished were the ones to persecute her.

Since then, she made sure to eat out with Fu Xiyan and never came back to the dormitory with her snacks on her. Weeks prior to her death, Shen Minyao always came back late after staying at the library to avoid them.

"Ming Shu, my mom has signed me up for training. Since I will need to wake up early and come home late at night, it will be inconvenient for the three of you to get disturbed with your well-deserved sleep, so I'm moving out," Shen Minyao explained.

Her eyes then turned to Tang Xuan who was clearly surprised by Shen Minyao's sudden decision to move.. They were aware of the implications of this sudden change towards them.
