The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Meanwhile, Xia Qinghe was making a phone call on the balcony.

Her voice was very low:

"Gu Yan, could you come to the library tomorrow night at 7 PM to tutor me on my paper?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Yan's voice was gentle:

"Sure. But I won't have time until eight o'clock, isn't that a bit late? The library closes at nine."

"It's okay, an hour will be enough."

Xia Qinghe's lips curled up:

"Mainly... I don't want Li Ruo to know that I'm looking for you."

"She's been getting too close to those upperclassmen lately, and I'm afraid she...might misunderstand us...and that we're also in that kind of relationship with them."

She deliberately spoke vaguely, leaving room for Gu Yan's imagination.

As expected, Gu Yan remained silent for a few seconds:

"Okay, then it'll be eight o'clock, in the study room on the third floor of the library."

"Thank you, Gu Yan!"

Xia Qinghe hung up the phone, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

Gu Yan will be at the library at 8 PM tomorrow.

She would wait for Gu Yan there at seven o'clock in advance, thus having a perfect alibi.

As for Li Ruo...

Her eyes gradually turned cold.

Once you enter the gates of Rose Manor, you can never come out again.

Fu Chenzhou's collection room will be Li Ruo's final resting place.

It will also be the final resting place for those madmen to go crazy.

And Xia Qinghe will finally be free from all the entanglements of these crazy people, and be with Gu Yan with a completely innocent life.

This is the path she should take after her rebirth.

As for Li Ruo?

The greatest value a tool from the slums could offer her was paving the way for her.

A gentle breeze carried a pleasant coolness from the balcony. Xia Qinghe opened her phone's diary and wrote a few lines:

[After tomorrow, everything will return to normal.]

I will have the life I deserve.

She turned off her phone, looked at the distant lights flashing on campus, and finally smiled knowingly.

Little did she know that Li Ruo was standing behind the balcony door, taking in all her expressions.

The happier Xia Qinghe smiled, the more dangerous her situation would become.

She recalled the descriptions of Fu Chenzhou in the comments section:

Gray eyes

Aesthetic fastidiousness

The terrifying collecting quirk is actually...

For someone like that to invite her to the manor, isn't that blatantly trying to kill her?

Xia Qinghe is clearly not planning to leave her a way out.

it's a pity……

Li Ruo opened her phone and searched for key information about the Rose Manor.

The result was a blank page.

There is no public information, no photos, and no address.

It's as if that place doesn't exist at all.

The name is only occasionally mentioned in the secret legends of St. Lia Academy.

It is said that anyone who receives an invitation to the Rose Manor will disappear from the academy within three days.

Some say they became famous overnight, and were promoted by Fu Chenzhou to become mysterious international bigwigs.

Some say they became eternal artifacts in the manor, never to see the sunlight again.

What is true and what is false, no one knows.

Li Ruo turned off her phone and looked out the window.

The night was deep, and the starry sky was dim.

Tomorrow night, she will step into that legendary forbidden place.

Xia Qinghe, at this moment, is probably lost in her fantasies, hoping for her disappearance.

Li Ruo suddenly smiled.

She walked to the mirror and looked at the face in it that seemed to attract dangerous people.

Chestnut brown long curly hair, fair skin, and clear eyes.

This face is indeed very beautiful.

She was so beautiful that she could drive six crazy guys and all the boys in Saint Lia crazy.

She was so beautiful that Xia Qinghe would go to any lengths to become jealous, feel threatened, and be eager to destroy her.

She was so beautiful that she could arouse the interest of a mysterious figure like Fu Chenzhou, who lived in people's legends.

"How can I... possibly break free from the desire to control him?"

Li Ruo read it softly.

Then, she picked up the scissors and cut her long hair.

click-

A lock of chestnut brown hair fell to the ground.

Then came the second lock, the third lock...

When the first rays of dawn shone into the dormitory, the person who stood in front of the mirror last night had completely changed.

Her waist-length hair was cut five centimeters shorter, with the ends slightly curled up, making her neck line look even more beautiful and neat.

The makeup on her face was completely washed off, leaving her bare face so clean it was almost transparent.

She altered the white silk dress, adding an asymmetrical design to the shoulders, revealing the entire collarbone and shoulder line on one side, while the other side was gently secured with thin straps.

There are no ornaments.

There are no extra colors.

Only the purest black and white.

Only the most extreme... herself.

When Xia Qinghe woke up, this was what Li Ruo looked like.

She was stunned.

"Li Ruo, your hair..."

"It's too much trouble to maintain, so I cut it shorter."

Li Ruo turned around and smiled slightly at her:

"Didn't my cousin say that Mr. Fu appreciates the ultimate in beauty?"

"I think this is more extreme."

Xia Qinghe opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The Li Ruo before her was so unfamiliar that it made her heart pound.

That clean, sharp beauty; that open, fearless gaze…

Is this really Li Ruo, the timid girl who came from the slums?

"you……"

"Don't worry, cousin."

Li Ruo interrupted her, her tone calm:

"I'll do my best tonight."

After all, this was a stage that Xia Qinghe had carefully prepared for her, wasn't it?

Xia Qinghe's heart sank.

She watched as Li Ruo picked up the invitation, put it in her bag, grabbed her books, and walked out of the dormitory.

Her back view was resolute, yet so beautiful that it momentarily captivated the viewer.

She is so beautiful.

That's why it's so dangerous.

Li Ruo, don't blame me, it's all because of your beauty.

Xia Qinghe's feelings became somewhat complicated.

If your beauty were just a little less, perhaps she could have escaped being controlled by others.

Such a beautiful girl died so tragically.

What a pity...

As Li Ruo stepped out of the girls' dormitory, a barrage of comments flooded her screen:

[Li Ruo has turned evil! Absolutely evil!]

[This look! This aura! Fu Chenzhou will absolutely go crazy!]

[The female lead is finished! Li Ruo never believed her at all!]

Whose burial ground will be at Rose Manor tonight?!

Meanwhile, Xia Qinghe, still in the girls' dormitory, slumped into a chair, feeling somewhat agitated, her fingers icy cold.

For some reason, the last image Li Ruo left her with made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

This carefully orchestrated scheme of hers may spiral completely out of control in ways she could never have predicted.

No.

This time, we must ensure that everything goes perfectly!

With that in mind, she hardened her heart and immediately began planning her next step: sending anonymous text messages to the six lunatics in turn.

[Breaking News! High-energy warning ahead!]

[The exciting part is coming, ladies!!!]

[Someone has appeared who can make six lunatics explode at the same time!!!]

After receiving the message.

Zhou Si was the first to rush into Li Ruo's classroom.

The classroom door was kicked open with a bang, the door panel slammed against the wall, and the window glass vibrated loudly.

The whole class looked up in unison, and then—

The entire body was petrified.

Zhou Si?

The domineering heir of the Zhou Group?

That guy who doesn't even give the principal face?

How did he end up here?

Li Ruo was engrossed in doing her homework when, just as her pen touched the paper, it was snatched away from her hand.

It slammed its hand on the table with a "thud".
