The entire room fell silent.

Then--

"What?!"

"fiancée???!"

"Lu Xingzhou is proposing to Li Ruo?!?!"

"Is there something wrong with my ears?!"

Zhou Si's eyes instantly turned red:

"Lu Xingzhou, you fucking opportunist!"

"Are you even human?!"

Lu Ran also sneered, his eyes piercing like knives:

"Cousin, that's a really despicable trick of yours."

"You'd even say something like that to try and steal someone away?"

But Lu Xingzhou didn't even glance at them.

He continued to stare at Li Ruo, his intense gaze seeming to want to etch her entire being into his eyes.

"That person has a rule: he doesn't touch things that belong to someone else."

"If you agree, I'll announce it to the public right now. My status as the young mistress of the Lu family is enough to make him withdraw his invitation."

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! He proposed right away! Lu Xingzhou, are you serious?!]

[He's so handsome, what should I do?! Help! Help! How do I choose?!]

[Wait, don't choose that!! Choosing it will lead you into the Lu family's trap!!]

But if I don't choose, I'll have to go to that lunatic's place! What kind of hellish multiple-choice question is this?!

[Although it's taking advantage of someone's misfortune, it's truly the only way! Li Ruo, please agree!]

[How could we possibly let her agree to that?!]

The classroom was completely out of control.

Someone clutched their heart and fell backward, but was caught by someone nearby;

Some people are frantically posting on their WeChat Moments while glued to their phones;

Some people were even shouting "Get together! Get together!" completely forgetting that they had just been fantasizing about being Lu Xingzhou's dream girl.

"Li Ruo! Say yes already!!"

"The young mistress of the Lu family! She's the young mistress of the Lu family! She's just a transfer student, although... she's pretty, and her grades... they're excellent! But why?!"

"I don't even expect my crush to confess his feelings to me. If I could just get a glance from him like that, my life would be worth it!"

Upon hearing this,

Zhou Si glared fiercely at Lu Xingzhou, then turned and stared intently at Li Ruo:

"Li Ruo! Don't listen to him! My Zhou family can protect you! I'm calling my dad right now!"

Lu Ran stepped forward, his aura menacing:

"My motorcycle club has five hundred people. No matter how crazy that freak is, he probably wouldn't dare to touch my people!"

Guo Yiling arrived late, but she did.

He had squeezed in at some point, adjusted his glasses, and spoke calmly but with sharp eyes:

"I've already contacted my family's legal team! The best legal team in Beijing!"

"His invitation letter has legal loopholes; give me three days..."

Pei Qingrang pushed up his glasses:

"I checked. The man surnamed Fu went to Switzerland three years ago, and his personal physician is a leading authority in the field of neurology. He may have a clinical diagnosis of paranoid personality disorder. If it were made public..."

"Shut up!!!"

Several madmen roared in frustration.

Pei Qingrang: "..."

Trust him.

He really came up with a brilliant idea.

Jiang Wu was still bleeding. He held up his bloodied arm, his voice trembling:

"Sister...look...I'm bleeding so much...if you don't help me...I'm going to die..."

"If I die... you don't need to go..."

[Hahahaha, Jiang Wu, you're really crazy!]

[Using self-harm as a threat?!]

But I feel so sorry for him, sob sob...

[Wait, this isn't the time to laugh! Li Ruo, speak up, I'm so impatient!]

Just when everyone thought Li Ruo would nod—

Li Ruo blinked her big eyes, her gaze sweeping over the shocked faces of the crowd:

"Thank you all for your kindness."

Her voice was soft, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"But I've decided to accept the invitation."

Zhou Si's pupils dilated in shock: "Li Ruo!!!"

Lu Ran grabbed her wrist: "Are you crazy?!"

Jiang Wu raised the knife again: "Sister...then I'll continue cutting..."

Pei Qingrang frowned: "Li Ruo, this is no joke."

Guo Yiling: "They are not obedient at all."

A hint of disbelief flashed in Lu Xingzhou's peach blossom eyes:

"You'd rather go to that place than be my fiancée?"

The other five lunatics: "Don't even think about it!!!"

Li Ruo: "..."

Now look what's happened; I'm forced to become one of the school's female playboys.

She even thought of today's top school headlines for the students in the publicity department:

#Breaking News! A turtle fell from the sky! The campus's F6 were transformed overnight into golden-armored turtles, and they all rolled into the female sea queen's fishpond!#

[Li Ruo refused? She rejected Lu Xingzhou's marriage proposal? ???]

[She refused Lu Xingzhou's marriage proposal?! That guy's crazy! I'm panicking, sisters, I'm really panicking!!!]

[Holy crap, Li Ruo is so brave! But that place is really dangerous, waaaaah!]

Li Ruo pulled her hand away from Lu Ran's grasp, looked at the knife Jiang Wu had raised, and said calmly:

"Jiang Wu, put the knife down. If you make another cut, I won't speak to you for a month."

Jiang Wu's hand froze, and he put down the knife with a wronged expression.

Li Ruo turned her head and met Lu Xingzhou's gaze:

"I appreciate Senior Lu's kindness. But I, Li Ruo, never rely on men to save my life."

She smiled slightly, a smile that was both clean and resolute:

"I will go to Rose Manor."

"As for the outcome..."

That's my problem.

[Holy crap, that smile! Ahhhhh, this girl is so cool!!!]

[This sister is so cool! She never relies on men to save her life! I'm going to etch that phrase onto my forehead!!]

[A beacon of independent women!!!]

[But I feel so sorry for her, waaaaah... What's her backup plan? I'm so anxious!]

Sisters, analyze this quickly! I think the female lead is not simple!

She definitely knows something we don't! Looking forward to the next episode! What exactly is Rose Manor?!

[Fu Chenzhou, come out here! Let me see just how crazy you are!]

[Li Ruochong! We support you! Even though you're so handsome, I'm still so worried, sob sob sob]

[I really wanted to help her with the story, but she probably can't see us! What a pity...]

Sitting in her seat, Xia Qinghe turned around and looked at the group of crazy people arguing, threatening, and even self-harming over Li Ruo.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of irony.

In her past life, when she was tormented by them, not a single person stood up to protect her.

But now, because of a body double, they have shown unprecedented tension and vulnerability.

Li Ruo saw the reactions of Xia Qinghe sitting quietly in her seat, watching all of this, in the comments section:

[I suddenly feel a little sorry for the female lead...]

She must be thinking about her past life!

[Don't cry, baby, this life is different... Li Ruo, the strongest one, will complete your mission.]

Inside the classroom, the six crazy guys stood there, completely frozen in place, watching Li Ruo continue doing her practice problems as if nothing had happened.

No one moved.

No one spoke.

Only the blood on Jiang Wu's arm was still dripping.

a drop.

a drop.

dripping on the ground.

Back gate of the college

As dusk settled, Li Ruo stood at the back gate of St. Lia Academy.

The altered white silk dress she wore clung to her body, making her appear tall yet not frail.

The lines of the shoulders and neck are smooth, and the collarbone is slightly concave.

Her figure was perfectly proportioned, with curves in all the right places. Her waist was so slender it could be encircled with a single hand, and her straight, slender legs were so long that even her skirt seemed a bit short.

Her long, seaweed-like hair was blown by the wind, strands of it wrapping around her neck and face.

Her face was bare, without any makeup, but her eyebrows and eyes were clear, her nose was straight, and her lips were lightly moist and pink.

Her features were clearly visible on her face, and even without makeup, she looked incredibly clean and beautiful in the dim light.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

She just stood there, her whole being glowing in the dim light.

A pure black Rolls-Royce Phantom silently pulled up in front of me.

The car doors opened automatically.

Inside were black leather seats, and the driver was not visible.

[Here it comes! The Fu family's ghost car!]

[It's said that this car is fully autonomous; none of the cars in the manor have drivers!]

[Li Ruozhen got on the bus! Commendable courage!]

She was still holding that invitation in her hand... Wait, what is she doing?!

Li Ruo stood in front of the car door, looking down at the invitation in her hand.

Then, she did something that caused the comments section to explode.
