The second semester of the sophomore year began, Qí Wēi and I both started school with new names.

She is now called "Qí Miào".

My name is Qí Yuán, my mother's surname is Yuán, and she gave me the nickname Yuán Yuán.

During the self-introduction of new classmates, Qí Wēi's performance was outstanding.

She even prepared gifts for the classmates in the class, gaining the support of many boys and girls.

The class teacher knew that Qí Wēi is my step-sister, and in the previous life, she arranged for her to sit next to me.

This time, before the class teacher could speak, Qí Wēi took the initiative to suggest sitting in the empty seat behind.

"Teacher, I am tall, so I'll sit at the back to avoid affecting classmates' listening during the class."

The class teacher readily agreed.

There were two adjacent empty seats in the back row, and Qí Wēi chose the one on the right.

But only I knew that the reason Qí Wēi chose a seat in the back row was that Shěn Lín would transfer over next week and sit in the one on the left in the back row.

Since Qí Wēi transferred to my class, I became even more silent.

I cut my hair shorter, changed my clothes, shoes, stationery to inconspicuous colors, and deliberately wore an ugly pair of glasses.

I was already inconspicuous, and now I completely blended into the crowd.

When Shěn Lín transferred over, the class was in an uproar.

His all-over brand-name clothing and his face made it hard for him not to stand out.

Using my peripheral vision, I saw that Shěn Lín indeed sat in the left seat in the back row.

From the moment he entered until he sat down, I kept my head down, pretending to study.

In my current ghostly appearance, he probably won't bother me in this life.

I heard Qí Wēi's cheerful voice from the back row.

"Hello, Shěn student, I'm Qí Miào! I just transferred here, please take care of me in the future!"

"You said your name is Qí Miào?"

Shěn Lín's voice, I was extremely familiar with.

I sensed the unfriendliness in his tone, and my heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

"Shěn Lín, you just transferred today and may not know, there was another Qí Miào in our class before, she was..."

"This student!"

Qí Wēi promptly interrupted the male student who was speaking: "That was my sister's yearning for our blind mother. Please don't reopen her wound!"

The male student sulked and fell silent.

I felt two pairs of eyes shooting at me from behind, but I didn't dare to turn around.

After a moment, I heard Shěn Lín's deep voice from the back.

"Qí Miào, very good!"
