Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

[BGM: "Zhao Di" by Zhou Linfeng]

(Author's tip: It's even better when watched with the song!)

------

Wang Zhaodi looked at the contract that Brother Chen had taken back, pursed her lips, and clenched her fists tightly in front of her.

She thought she had done something wrong to displease Brother Chen.

Wen Ruyan frowned slightly, also becoming puzzled.

Didn't the master already write up the contract?

Why...did they take it back now?

Although she was puzzled and wanted to recruit Wang Zhaodi into the army, she would still unconditionally trust her master.

Wen Ruyan simply stood quietly to the side without asking any further questions.

The next second, Lu Wanzhou deactivated her invisibility and appeared next to Jiang Chen.

She proudly waved a purple card in front of Jiang Chen.

The card has three words written in gilded lettering:

Name Change Card

Lu Wanzhou put her left hand on her hip, held up the name change card in her right hand as if to claim credit, raised an eyebrow and chuckled:

"How about it, Xiao Chen? Aren't you amazing, your sister Lu?"

"It exhausted me. The newborn hid the card in the ripped compartment of the seat, and it took me ages to find it."

Jiang Chen gave Lu Wanzhou a thumbs up, then used the [Full Map Reveal] function to examine the card.

[Name Change Card] (Level A)

[Active Effect: Allows you to change the name of one player after use.]

The simple introduction surprised Jiang Chen greatly.

This name change card might just be trash to other players.

But for Wang Zhaodi, it was the most precious gift.

Looking at the small purple card in Jiang Chen's hand, Wen Ruyan smiled with a sense of relief, her smile gentle.

She gently patted her chest, knowing that this girl who had suffered so much was finally about to usher in a new life.

Jiang Chen handed the name change card to Wang Zhaodi and shared the information on the card with the girls:

"Junior, this is for you."

"We'll sign a contract after you've used it."

Inside the bus, many girls had already pressed their faces against the windows, their eyes all fixed on the name change card in Jiang Chen's hand.

The girls all remained silent, knowing all too well what this thin card meant to Wang Zhaodi.

This means that she can bravely say her name.

This means that she no longer needs to bear the so-called "desire to have a child".

The girls huddled together and whispered among themselves:

"What should we call her? We can't really call her Shen Youwei, can we?"

"Class representative, what do you think?"

Ruan Ningshuang, arms crossed, gently shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips; she seemed quite happy.

"I think the junior should be allowed to pick it up herself; it's her right."

"Besides...she should have already had her own answer."

The girls all nodded in agreement.

Outside the bus.

Wang Zhaodi stared blankly at the name change card in Jiang Chen's hand, her long eyelashes trembling, and she didn't react for a moment.

Jiang Chen gently patted Wang Zhaodi's head, his tone soft:

"What? Don't you want to join us?"

"Or perhaps you don't know what name to choose?"

Wang Zhaodi shook her head repeatedly, her eyes reddening, and her voice growing softer and softer:

"Chen...Brother Chen, this A-grade item is too precious. I...I'm used to it...it's okay if I don't use it..."

Wang Zhaodi lowered her head more and more as she spoke, but her gaze kept sneaking towards the purple card.

To say that I'm used to this name would be a lie.

She really wanted to change her name and really wanted to use the name change card.

But she'd already troubled Brother Chen and her senior so much; she couldn't trouble them any further...

She is very sensible and content...

Jiang Chen chuckled softly and handed the name change card directly to Wang Zhaodi:

"Then I don't want it anymore, you can throw it away."

Wang Zhaodi's fingers trembled violently the moment they touched the card. She slowly raised her head, and the instant she saw Jiang Chen, her eyes blurred again, her nose began to sting, and her throat tightened.

Jiang Chen gently patted Wang Zhaodi's head, his tone very tender:

"Junior, do you know? The name 'Zhao Di' has never been your fault."

"It's a shackle imposed on you by others, not your identity."

"Now, you have the opportunity to throw off these shackles and be your true self again."

"You can call yourself whatever you want. No one will call you Zhaodi anymore."

Wang Zhaodi listened blankly to Brother Chen's words, the name change card in her hand burning hot.

Throughout her life, no one had ever told her that the name that had made her feel inferior for over a decade was never her fault.

She thought that she would only ever live under the name "Zhao Di," amidst ridicule and humiliation.

She suddenly smiled, the first time she had ever smiled so happily in her life.

Although tears still fell, this time they were tears of joy.

She pursed her lower lip tightly, nodded to Jiang Chen, and used the name change card in her hand.

She had thought about what name to change to countless times.

I think about it every night before I fall asleep, and sometimes I even dream that I have successfully changed my name. Then I wake up laughing at myself, only to find that my pillow is soaked with sweat.

The name change card in her hand turned into purple light, gradually transforming into a light screen before her eyes.

[Player's original name: Wang Zhaodi]

[New Player Name:]

Wang Zhaodi stretched out her slightly trembling fingers and wrote the name she had silently recited countless times in her heart on the light screen, stroke by stroke.

[Player's original name: Wang Zhaodi]

[New Player Name: Wang Wushuang]

In her mind, "unparalleled" means unique.

She is who she is.

Her name belongs only to her, not to anyone else's wish for a child.

The next moment, the light screen dissipated, transforming into purple light that merged into Wang Wushuang's body.

A system notification sounded in Wang Wushuang's mind.

[Name change successful!]

Jiang Chen used the "Full Map View" feature to view Wang Wushuang's profile and shared it with all the girls.

[Player: Wang Wushuang]

Sure enough, the player's name column had changed to "Wang Wushuang".

Lu Wanzhou stood to the side, nodding with a smile:

"Peerless? What a great name!"

She reached out and gently patted Wang Wushuang's shoulder, her tone cheerful and assertive, behaving like a big sister:

"Although you're still just a small, fragile little thing right now, I believe you'll definitely live the life you want to live in the future!"

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement:

"Unparalleled means that you are a unique individual. You are you, just live your own life."

Wen Ruyan watched this scene from the side, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then opened her soft arms and said softly:

"Wushuang, come here! Give your teacher a hug."

Wang Wushuang laughed and threw herself into Wen Ruyan's arms.

Bai Nuonuo poked her little head out of the car window, her ahoge (a stray hair on her head) swaying back and forth, waving her little hand and shouting at Wang Wushuang:

"Sister Wushuang! What a beautiful name!"

"Nuonuo loves it so much! You're amazing!!"

Bai Nuonuo was finally able to use the unique title that belonged to Wang Wushuang in front of her "older sister".

Don't let her seemingly silly and cute appearance fool you; she's actually very thoughtful and caring.

Therefore, Nuonuo never called Zhaodi "Sister Zhaodi".

Nuonuo had been waiting to be able to openly and proudly call out the girl's own name.

Now... Nuonuo can boldly call out "Sister Wushuang"!

Of course, that's what she did too.

Bai Nuonuo shouted in her little voice, over and over again:

"Sister Wushuang!"

"Sister Wushuang!"

Inside the bus, many girls were happy for Wang Wushuang and shouted to her:

"Peerless Junior Sister!"

"Peerless!"

"Wang Wushuang!!"

The girls shouted and laughed, but then they started secretly wiping away tears.

Wu Maiduo was the happiest, with tears streaming down her face.

She knew better than anyone how difficult her junior had been before she transmigrated.

But my junior is really strong.

Wang Wushuang nestled in Wen Ruyan's arms, looking at the smiling faces of her senior classmates, at Chen Ge's gentle gaze, and hearing the calls of "Sister Wushuang" and "Junior Sister Wushuang".

She was laughing when she suddenly covered her mouth and burst into tears.

The grievances, inferiority complex, and despair that had been suppressed for more than 20 years were finally released at this moment.

Wen Ruyan gently patted Wang Wushuang's back, softly comforting him:

"It's alright...it's alright..."

"Our Musou is the strongest... It's alright... The teacher and everyone are here..."

After Wang Wushuang gradually calmed down, Jiang Chen softly called out:

"Peerless".

Wang Wushuang suddenly raised her head, her eyelashes still glistening with tears, but her eyes were bright and sparkling.

She met Jiang Chen's gaze, sniffled her pink little nose, and responded loudly:

"Hey! Brother Chen!"

This was the first time she had responded to her name so loudly and so openly.

You don't have to worry about being laughed at by others, and you don't have to worry about your own inferiority complex.

Jiang Chen solemnly handed the contract, which was radiating golden light, to Wang Wushuang:

"Wushuang, would you like to join us?"
