Chapter 1

When freshman year just started, I came to the university all by myself.

Carrying a woven snakeskin bag.

I had lost a bet with my best friend a few days prior. The wager was that I had to show up to school carrying a snakeskin bag, and I wasn’t allowed to let my dad drop me off.

I am a pragmatic person.

I scoffed at my bestie’s style of driving a fleet of luxury cars onto campus to aggressively flaunt her wealth—though normally, I suppose I’d be doing the exact same thing.

Simple, rustic.

My bestie jokingly called it,

War-torn Syrian style.

Right after entering the registration office, I saw a drop-dead gorgeous girl with a smoking hot figure. She wore sunglasses, held her head high with arrogance, and was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands.

She and I had walked into the registration office at the same time.

She kept her distance from me, threw me a side-eye, and let out a disdainful scoff.

“Isn’t that Lin Wanwan? She’s so pretty, and I heard her family is loaded!”

“Her background is super solid, she even has family working as executives in the school!”

…

I froze for a moment when I heard that.

I looked up and glanced at Lin Wanwan.

She heard those whispers too, and stretched her neck even higher, looking incredibly haughty and aloof.

I thought to myself: *Quite the ego on this one!*

While I was filling out my form,

A mocking voice drifted over leisurely from behind,

“I really didn’t expect our school to have people this poor. That bag is for holding pig feed, right? Hahahahaha!”

“And those clothes must be hand-me-downs from relatives!”

I turned my head in bewilderment and watched as Lin Wanwan took off her sunglasses, a contemptuous smirk on her lips.

Was she talking about me?

“Excuse me, are you talking about me?” I asked her, frowning.

The teacher in front of us also stared at us for a moment.

She blatantly admitted it: “Yeah, I’m talking about you. Poor and pathetic!”

Heh.

I was baffled: “So what if I use a snakeskin bag to pack my clothes? Did I eat your family’s rice? Why are you being so damn nosy?”

I didn’t expect my words to draw a cold sneer from her.

“You’d better not, I’m afraid you’d dirty my house.”

Nowadays, there really are all kinds of people. Uneducated brats just let off their leashes to bite people.

I was just about to retort when the teacher in front of me interrupted.

“Wanwan, you’re here. I’ve been hearing your uncle talk about you for ages. Don’t lower yourself to argue with this kind of person!”

The teacher glared at me, then turned her head and smiled sycophantically at Lin Wanwan.

She grabbed the form I had just filled out, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the trash.

Then she let Lin Wanwan, who was standing behind me, cut right in front of me.

“Wanwan, come on up.”

I was so angry I laughed. Leaning both hands on the desk, I lowered my voice and questioned the teacher.

“What is the meaning of this? Do you not understand the concept of first come, first served?”

The teacher gave me a disgusted look and then casually threw a blank form at me.

“Your form was wrong. Fill it out again!”

Hearing this, I smiled. I was afraid it wasn’t a problem with the form. Looking at the teacher’s face full of fierce fat just made me feel nauseous.

Lin Wanwan put her sunglasses back on.

“Don’t even look in the mirror to see what kind of trash you are!”

I was just about to curse back when I heard the students behind us urging us to hurry.

“What’s going on with the people in front? The one with the snakeskin bag, why are you so slow!”

“You’re just a poor person, stop talking to someone like Lin Wanwan.”

…

I clenched my fists. There were innocent faces waiting behind me in the line, and it was under the scorching sun.

I endured it.

Just because she has no class doesn’t mean I don’t.
