Chapter 69

Well, this is a matter of perspective. Initially, Su Yuan was quite pleased with himself, but later he became filled with melancholy, and now, he has nothing left to say.

After the transformation, her face, which was already ninety percent similar to her mother Su Caiwei, is now almost identical. Even their heights are almost the same.

Just now, the new security guard mistook her for Su Caiwei, which proved this point.

However, to be fair, Su Yuan and her mother Su Caiwei are still quite different. At least, Su Yuan herself believes she cannot reach the level of her mother. From Su Caiwei, one can see a special kind of charm, like the gentle breeze that passes through the willow trees, and the birds follow the fragrance.

Coupled with her perfect appearance, Su Yuan knows that her mother was absolutely invincible in school. Not to mention those older women, even the so-called school beauties in the junior and senior high school departments, whether they are the innocent type or the vibrant type, none of them can compare.

Back in the day, even as a boy, Su Yuan held a certain dominant position. If it weren't for the gender factor that cut her "score" by a large margin, the title of school beauty at No. 1 High School would definitely be hers.

Wandering around the familiar campus, he went through all the places he should, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Although he had spent six years in this campus—five years of unrestrained behavior and one year of focused study—he had never properly appreciated the beauty of his alma mater like today.

Leaving the school, Su Yuan specially smiled at the young guard as he passed by the security booth, which left the other party completely puzzled.

"Why is Teacher Su so friendly today, unlike her usual cold and distant self?" the young guard asked his colleagues with a suspicious look.

Those colleagues were all "old hands" who had experienced the era of "two Sus coexisting." They found the young guard's confusion amusing and pointed out, "Look at that person just now, what's different from the usual Teacher Su?"

The young guard replied, "Different? Apart from the clothes being a bit more neutral, there doesn't seem to be much difference. Oh, right, the hair is shorter. Why did Teacher Su cut her beautiful long hair?"

Hearing this, his colleagues couldn't hold back their laughter. The saying "three people make a tiger" came to mind, and seeing his colleagues laugh, the young guard thought he must have said something wrong and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you for mistaking the person. Do you think that person was Teacher Su?"

The young guard was confused, "If not Teacher Su, could it be her sister?"

"Ha ha ha..." A few people who knew the truth laughed uncontrollably. Of course, there was a lot of exaggeration, but in the end, the team leader revealed the truth, "Xiao Jie, let me tell you the truth. The person who just passed by is neither Teacher Su nor her sister, but her child!"

"Teacher Su's child?!" the man exclaimed, surprised that Teacher Su had such a grown-up child!

"Yes, Teacher Su has a son named Su Yuan. Back then, he was a real headache for our security department!" Thinking of the troublemaker "student thug" of the past, the security team leader was both nostalgic and reflective. Back then, many times, the security department had to clean up the mess after Su Yuan's fights outside the school.

Su Yuan's ability to create a strong presence was closely tied to his "good" relationship with the security department. Out of respect for the "flower of No. 1 High School" Su Caiwei, the security department gave Su Yuan some face. Even when both parties were caught, the students from other schools were directly handed over to the police, while Su Yuan was just lectured and then released.

"Son? Not a daughter?" the young guard was surprised.

"Yes, a son! You saw him just now, isn't he quite handsome?"

The young guard seemed stunned by this news and didn't speak for a while. The team leader, who was a former police officer, lit a cigarette, and in the hazy smoke, he seemed to return to the days of the past.

"To be honest, Su Yuan's nature wasn't bad. Before junior high school, he was just a bit introverted but generally obedient. You probably know about Teacher Su's situation—no father, and he faced a lot of discrimination when he was young. The most significant event that influenced her probably happened when she was in the first year of junior high school."

"Junior high school is hard to manage, especially for boys. They have some strength but aren't as mature as high school students. Fights and brawls are as common as meals. Once, Su Yuan was bullied, and the place where he fell had a moss-covered brick. In a fit of rage, he hit the other boys with the brick, and they all ended up with injuries..."

—This marked the beginning of Su Yuan's reign as the school bully.

"Wow, so ruthless?"

"The incident escalated, and Teacher Su had to apologize to the parents of the other students. One parent, seeing Teacher Su's beauty, tried to touch her, and Su Yuan couldn't stand it. He picked up a stone from the corner and hit the parent, causing more injuries..."

"Later, they had to resolve it through legal means. Su Yuan was fine, but he developed the principle that 'fists are not as hard as stones.' He even carried a brick in his school bag. Teacher Su would throw it away, but he would always find a new one, especially those moss-covered green bricks!"

"What happened after that?"

The young guard seemed interested, as he had just met Su Yuan and didn't feel any rebellious aura from her. According to the team leader, if it weren't for Teacher Su, the Su kid would have been expelled long ago.

"As people grow up, they become more mature. Su Yuan started to change in her senior year of high school. From being a headache for all the teachers to being liked by all the teachers, by the time of the college entrance exam, she had become an excellent student in both character and academics. Such a big change was unexpected, and everyone thought the child couldn't be taught."

...

After leaving the school, Su Yuan went to the market to buy ingredients. According to her experience, her mother usually returns from the stationery factory around 5 PM. By then, it would be too late to start cooking, and they wouldn't want to rely on Aunt Liu for meals.

Speaking of Su Yuan's cooking skills, they were at least passable. Although she didn't cook often, the steps and details were still fresh in her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have volunteered to cook for Ji Mom at Ji Ye Hao's house.

In the kitchen, she turned on the gas, lit the fire, and started cooking.

A piece of meat was placed on the cutting board and then sliced into small pieces. She planned to start with a dish of stir-fried meat with green peppers. Since she didn't cook often, even with the steps memorized, she was bound to make mistakes.

"Oh, salt!" She quickly turned to get it, but in the process, she stumbled and knocked the knife handle on the cutting board. With a clatter, the sharp knife fell straight down, landing between Su Yuan's feet.

Large beads of sweat immediately appeared on her forehead. Looking at the shiny knife, a chill ran down her spine. The fear of what could have happened made her stand still for a moment. Fortunately, it didn't land on her feet; she always wore slippers at home!

After this small incident, Su Yuan became even more cautious. The lesson taught her that even cooking could be dangerous.

By 5 PM, the meal was ready, and Su Yuan lay on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her mother to return.
