After the minor character transforms into a beauty, she steals the heart of a tycoon's son.

On the morning of the midterm exam, a major announcement was displayed on the electronic screen in front of the teaching building.

This is a new disciplinary notice:

Liang Jing, a student at the Dance Academy, has been expelled from the academy, effective immediately, for repeatedly violating school rules and disrespecting members of the executive committee.

Four other aristocratic students were disciplined for causing trouble and spreading inappropriate remarks.

Several people received verbal warnings, totaling several dozen.

As usual, the announcement was stamped with the student union's red seal at the end, and signed by Yan Ling'er.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Liang Jing, a prominent figure at the dance academy second only to Meng Qing, and a distant relative of the Gu family, was expelled without warning.

The other four people on the warning list are also well-known figures in aristocratic circles.

Everyone guessed that it was because they had surrounded Ruan Tang in the corridor last night, taken photos, and pushed her.

The punishment came down in the blink of an eye, so fast that there wasn't even a chance to plead for leniency.

If the title of secretary of the deacon was merely a formality, it meant that people would give him some face.

So after this incident, the special admissions students all realized that Ruan Tang is now a favorite of Si Lin, the deacon.

She wasn't the kind of secretary who was just there in name only; she was someone who would immediately pay the price if anyone bullied her.

What followed was a vague, inexplicable feeling of envy in the hearts of every specially admitted student.

Even the members of the resistance group, regardless of gender, though verbally disdainful, couldn't escape the deep-seated envy.

Being beautiful means having a good life.

The nobles never look at appearances, only at results, and assess the situation carefully.

This Ruan Tang is already on their list of people they don't want to offend easily.

At least for now, we can't afford to offend them.

Even if the chosen ones feel they are lowering their status and are unwilling to accept it, they have no other choice for the time being.

After all, her backing comes from the deacon group.

Moreover, they didn't seem like the obedient and diligent special admissions officers of the student council; they seemed more like Si Lin's secret lovers.

As long as Si Lin doesn't lose interest, they can't afford to offend him.

The previous harsh comments about Ruan Tang on the forum were quickly deleted.

No one stepped in to regulate it; it was the nobles who, being pragmatic, cleaned it up on their own initiative.

Some people also deleted the posts from the gambling games where they had previously criticized Ruan Tang.

Half an hour before the exam started, Lin Xiaokui stopped Ruan Tang by the flower bed behind the teaching building.

Her right hand was wrapped in white gauze, and her face was a little pale, whether from blood loss or from not sleeping well last night, it was hard to tell.

Lin Xiaokui's lips moved, and the first thing she said was an apology, "Ruan Tang, I'm sorry."

Ruan Tang didn't speak.

"I didn't mean to blame you for what happened yesterday; I was just too scared."

"I was suddenly injured, and the blood kept flowing. The corridor was so dark, I don't know who touched the knife."

"I'm also afraid of failing the exam and being expelled from school."

"So my mind went blank at the time, and when I saw you standing next to me, I thought it was you."

"I calmed down after going to the infirmary."

"I know you're not the kind of person who would intentionally hurt others."

Ruan Tang looked at the gauze in her hand but didn't reply.

Lin Xiaokui spoke again, this time in a softer tone, "Although we each have our own stances and camps."

"But Ruan Tang, I know you still cherish our past relationship, so you definitely wouldn't intentionally harm me."

"From now on, even if you're on the deacon team and I'm a special admissions student, let's keep to ourselves, okay?"

Ruan Tang was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Lin Xiaokui breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ruan Tang is soft-hearted and never holds grudges.

As long as she doesn't pursue the matter further, there won't be any more follow-ups from Si Lin.

She doesn't need to take the midterm exams anymore, and her name won't be on the elimination list.

Ruan Tang turned and walked towards the teaching building, her skirt brushing lightly against the lily of the valley at the edge of the flower bed.

"Ruan Tang." Lin Xiao Kui suddenly called out to her from behind.

Ruan Tang turned around.

Lin Xiaokui stood by the flower bed, sunlight shining from behind her, obscuring her facial expression.

"Good luck on your exam," she said, though it was unclear whether she meant it sincerely or not.

Ruan Tang smiled and said, "I will."

She turned and continued walking forward without looking back.

Lin Xiaokui stood there, watching that figure gradually disappear into the distance.

She wore a dark blue school uniform skirt, her black hair cascaded down her back, and her steps were light and graceful.

The sunlight shone on her, bathing her in a pale golden glow.

From childhood to adulthood, she truly considered Ruan Tang a friend.

But everything changed from the moment Ruan Tang grew up, became beautiful, and blocked her path.

It's not that Lin Xiao Kui wants to change.

Why couldn't Ruan Tang stay behind her all the time? Why couldn't she remain unknown?

That way, she would definitely treat her even better than she treated Su Nian.

Instead of having to scheme against her and guard against her as we do now.

She has only herself to blame.

There's only one road to heaven.

She climbed too fast, blocking other people's hopes.

On the second floor of the luxury brand store, the suite at the end of the corridor was not closed.

The wall lamps were dimmed, and a faint, sweet fragrance filled the air.

From the innermost suite, low laughter and a girl's soft, weak breathing could be heard.

Gu Beiheng leaned against the headboard, his shirt open, revealing his lean waist and abdomen.

Ye Mian sat between his legs, head down, her lips pressing against the man's abs inch by inch.

"Baby is so good today." Gu Beiheng ran his fingers through her loose hair and gently pressed it.

Ye Mian raised her face, her lips red and her eyes slightly red.

She was the new student Ruan Tang saw in the luxury brand store that day. She had a pure and innocent look, with timid eyes and fair skin. Her smile was very clean.

This is the kind of drink that the upper class is currently craving.

The young ladies at home are already bright and spoiled enough, which is tiresome. Some even have ambitions to compete for power. So, they naturally prefer innocent and well-behaved girls like these outside.

When she first came to Shenglan, she was extremely timid and didn't even dare to look people in the eye when she spoke to them.

Now she has learned how to make men happy.

Jiang Yubai sat on the sofa, legs crossed, holding a glass of wine in his hand, looking at the two people on the bed.

Ye Mian was pinned down by Gu Beiheng, her soft, weak voice coming out intermittently, her fingers gripping the bed sheet and then loosening.

Inside the teaching building, the bell had just rung to start the first subject of the midterm exam.

Ruan Tang sat in the examination room, head down, answering the questions attentively.

Her black hair was pulled back behind her ears, revealing a section of her snow-white neck, and the ribbon at her neckline was tied neatly.

The fingers holding the pen were slender, white, and delicate, with exquisite beauty.

The sun gradually rose higher.

In the suite at the luxury brand store, someone else was sitting on the sofa.

Gu Beiheng leaned against the armrest and smoked, the smoke slowly rising from his fingertips.

The man on the bed had changed to Jiang Yubai, and the sexual activity continued. The mattress sank in, and Ye Mian knelt on it, her mouth slurring in a seductive voice.

"Young Master Jiang, are you happy?" she asked in a coquettish voice.

"Of course, baby is really amazing." Jiang Yubai changed his position, turned her face around, and lowered his head to kiss her lips that were coming closer.

Ye Mian was breathless from the kisses, her slender white arms wrapped around his back, and her legs pressed against his waist.

"Young Master Jiang, if you keep Mianmian here and won't let her leave, what are we going to do about today's midterm exams?" She leaned on his shoulder, her lips close to his ear, her voice soft and gentle.

"If we get eliminated, we won't be able to make Young Master Jiang and Young Master Gu so happy anymore."
