Chapter 1889: Chapter 1889: Extra: A Brand New Life 4 (Jiang Yue and Xue Yan)

The dorm room was nearly clean now, and after she mopped the floor once more, Jiang Yue took the mop to the bathroom, washed it, and then left it to dry on the balcony.

With nothing else to do, she had planned to head to the internet café right then to post a missing person notice on some forums, familiarize herself with No. 3 Middle School, and ask around about someone named Xue Yan. She also intended to make a trip to City No. 7 Middle School in the afternoon… But just as she had taken the few tens of bills from her backpack and was about to stuff them into her pocket, a girl entered the dorm, dragging a suitcase behind her and carrying a backpack.

The girl was in uniform, slightly chubby and a little short. Through the original host’s memories, Jiang Yue recognized her as Xu Yi as soon as she saw her. They had a good relationship normally, and Xu Yi used to sleep in the bunk below Jiang Yue. Xu Yi had been her deskmate for the entire second year of high school.

During their second year of high school, things weren’t as urgent. Classroom seating was arranged not only by grades but also by height, and however the homeroom teacher wanted. The original host had average grades and sat in the front row, eating chalk dust. Even though she was relatively tall among the girls, sitting in the front didn’t obscure anyone’s view. Xu Yi, however, had poor grades and was one of the last in the class. Because she was rather short, she got placed in the front row and ended up as the original host’s deskmate.

As Xu Yi walked in, she paused, “Ah, Jiang Yue, you pinned up your bangs and I almost didn’t recognize you. Your face is so small. But you look much better this way, way prettier than when you had bangs. Those bangs didn’t suit you.” She laughed, “Hehe, I always thought you were fair-skinned, but I never realized you were this pretty. Prettier than Li Ting too.”

Li Ting was the class beauty and also the beauty of No. 3 Middle School, particularly skilled at dressing up.

Meanwhile, the original host was a bit plain, always wearing a low ponytail, with her bangs so long they covered a lot of her eyes. Hardly anyone in school had seen the full look of her face, and with her quiet personality and her not being much of a talker, she was anything but high-profile. Indeed, as Xu Yi said, aside from noting the original host’s fairness, nobody really considered her attractive.

But to Jiang Yue, appearance wasn’t important, so she didn’t wish to discuss it further, merely asking, “Why did you come so early?”

It was still morning, and many people wouldn’t show up until the afternoon or evening since there was evening self-study and the homeroom teacher would have some comments to make, as well as discuss the upcoming diagnostic test.

“Don’t even mention it,” Xu Yi sighed, taking off her backpack and tossing it on her bed, “Isn’t the diagnostic test tomorrow, and we’re going to be seated by our grades? I don’t want to sit in the back. I want to study hard too, but what can I do if my grades just won’t improve? Everyone knows that in our school, by third year of high school, those seated at the back are the ones the teachers have given up on. So, I thought I’d come early, review a bit more, try to score a few extra points, and do my best not to end up in the very last row.” She sighed again, “After the diagnostic test, we probably won’t be able to sit together anymore.”

As for whether they would sit together or not, she wasn’t the original host, so Jiang Yue wasn’t too bothered, simply saying, “I think there isn’t a teacher who wants to give up on a student, maybe some teachers aren’t up to the mark, but not all will be like that. And even if you sit at the back, it’s not the end of the world. Don’t give up on yourself before your teacher gives up on you.”

“You…” Xu Yi blinked, staring intently at her. “You seem a little different. Before, you used to be so introverted, and even when you spoke, it seemed like you were timid, always looking down. But now, it’s like you’ve become a different person, prettier, more spirited, and what you say makes so much sense!”
