Chapter 17

Intentionally forgetting the matter of transformation is like a special medicine to numb oneself. Since a young age, Su Yuan felt that as a person, one should adapt to circumstances and, with the changes in the surrounding environment, humans should be the most adept at adjusting themselves.

When she was still young, she remembered that their family situation was quite good, not to the point of wearing silk and eating delicacies, but at least they had no worries about food and clothing. At that time, she thought very absurdly—what was the point of her working hard at her studies? This wasn't just being profound; she genuinely thought about it.

Although she didn't have a father from a young age, she gradually got used to living without one. The ridicule from classmates, the sympathy from teachers, and a bit of annoyance gradually made her feel that she should be different from others since the third grade of elementary school when she started to understand things a bit.

Indeed, the lowliness of those around her only served to highlight her own greatness. Her rebellious character was basically cultivated during that time. From then on, she began to look at the people around her with a disdainful attitude, remaining calm and unbothered no matter how they provoked her, focusing on self-improvement.

Until one day, when emotions broke through the boundaries of reason, even the most composed person would have a day of uncontrollable anger. The sky-blue brick, carrying the traces of history, was the perfect catalyst. Su Yuan still remembered the burning cosmos within her when she held it, so moving and awe-inspiring.

With one brick, the enemy fell to the ground, and from then on, she became fearless and unafraid of anyone. The calm Su Yuan disappeared, replaced by the student thug who dominated from elementary school to high school—Su Yuan.

But after that, perhaps due to the cycle of cause and effect, Su Yuan's family situation gradually worsened. She remembered moving several times, getting closer to the school, and the houses becoming smaller.

Before the college entrance exam, to be precise, in her senior year of high school, her mother, Su Caiwei, finally lost patience with her. Hoping for her to reflect on herself was like buying a lottery ticket! So on Su Yuan's birthday, she had a heart-to-heart talk with her, not expecting much, but surprisingly, perhaps because Su Yuan had grown up, she managed to pull her back from the edge of the cliff.

From then on, Su Yuan discarded her decadent past and went to the opposite extreme.

September 10th, Monday.

After class, Su Yuan was about to return to her dormitory when she suddenly saw a crowd gathered in the hallway. Chinese people have always loved spectacles, and the gray, numb masses surrounding the scene were a fitting description of the people in Lu Xun's writings who loved to watch spectacles.

"There are so many people gathered there; let's go see what's happening." Su Yuan squeezed through the crowd with effort and saw that a man and a woman were surrounded in the middle. The man seemed to feel embarrassed and pushed through the crowd, walking away unhappily.

Once the main character left, the onlookers found it boring and dispersed. However, the woman's classmates were quite indignant, continuously comforting the girl in the middle. From their words, Su Yuan roughly understood what had happened. It turned out that the couple was having a disagreement. But gradually, she realized she had misunderstood; there was more to the story.

"Su Yuan, did you find out what happened?" Gao Jun and Ji Ye Hao walked over, their faces full of curiosity.

"Yes, I found out. A couple is breaking up."

"Is that all that caused such a big crowd?" Gao Jun looked surprised. It's impossible for a couple to have no conflicts, but for a conflict to become known to everyone was quite exaggerated. A little private argument would suffice.

Su Yuan also found it speechless, "Yes, just a couple breaking up. I heard the guy is a typical rich boy. He's handsome and wealthy, but his character is not good. He changes girlfriends as often as he changes clothes. Despite knowing his sordid past, countless girls can't resist his intense pursuit."

Su Yuan thought those girls were just asking for it. Knowing what kind of person the guy was, they still went after him, and they deserved to be dumped!

And that guy, just because he had some money, he thought he was so great? Could he just play around with people's feelings?

"Good cabbages are all being eaten by pigs!" she remarked. As soon as she said it, everyone around her looked at her, and Su Yuan was startled, quickly escaping the scene with Ji Ye Hao and Gao Jun.

"What do you think? Why are some girls so stupid? Knowing it's like a moth to a flame, they still rush in, hoping for a miracle? They deserve what they get!"

Gao Jun clicked his tongue, "That guy is called Peng Jie, quite a famous person."

"Peng Jie?"

Su Yuan was taken aback; she seemed to remember that name. Oh, she remembered, he was the guy who approached her when she was handing out flyers!

She never thought he was that kind of person, a playboy! Thinking about how he had approached her, Su Yuan felt a strong sense of discomfort. Not to mention that he was a player, her outfit that day was quite masculine.

"Have you heard of him, Su Yuan?" Seeing her reaction, Gao Jun became interested.

"I've heard a little, a third-year student in the Economics Department!" she thought to herself.

"That's right, the campus heartthrob of the Economics Department! He's very famous in the Economics Department, and the girls he has pursued are countless. And this guy has a strange quirk; no girl he gets has lasted more than a month, he's truly invincible."

"Who would have thought he had such a big reputation! Indeed, he's rotten to the core."

"Yes, that guy is too bad. Not only has he ruined so many girls in the Economics Department, but now he's even reaching into our Biochemistry Department."

Seeing his indignant look, Su Yuan suddenly felt that Gao Jun wasn't angry about Peng Jie's bad character but rather that he was reaching into other departments, which left her speechless.

"Ye Hao, what do you think?"

Ji Ye Hao didn't intend to comment, but hearing Su Yuan's question, he shook his head and said, "I don't know him well, but his behavior is indeed excessive. Such a person should not be associated with."

Su Yuan nodded in agreement, looking at Ji Ye Hao with approval. His attitude was satisfying, while Gao Jun, on the other hand, was "missing the point" and should be taught a lesson.

She never imagined that in the morning, she was criticizing Peng Jie, thinking he was a scumbag, and in the afternoon, she would have a face-to-face encounter with him.

"Su Yuan, someone is looking for you!" Just after class, as she was packing her textbooks, a boy at the door turned around and called out to her.

"Looking for me?"
