You are all bad women! Don't come over!

She angrily glared at her glasses as if looking at an enemy. But when it came to studying, she had to put them on, or the words would appear blurry.

Roman's vocabulary book was already complex and difficult, and these damned books had to print the words so small.

Annoyed, really annoyed. Xiao Xingshuang slapped her face hard, forcing herself to calm down, and picked up her pen to write from memory the words she had just memorized. But after only three letters, she forgot what should come next.

Perhaps it was time to take a break, Xiao Xingshuang thought to herself.

So she propped her chin with one hand, squinting her eyes, daydreaming. But once she stopped, Xia Qingrou's carefree, radiant smile popped into Xiao Xingshuang's mind.

It was truly uncomfortable to see her getting everything she wished for.

Ding-ling-ling... Xiao Xingshuang's phone rang.

She glanced at the caller and answered.

"Mom, I have a day off tomorrow… Yeah, I will be retiring soon, Roman has been contacted, I'll take you to Roman with me… I'm very capable, they are scrambling for me… Roman offers much better conditions than domestically, I can get citizenship there directly… Don't worry, everything will be fine," Xiao Xingshuang said softly.

...

After showering, Han Muxue pushed her wheelchair back into her room, slowly moved onto the bed, then covered herself with the duvet and leaned against the cushion playing with her phone.

Her room was beautiful, adorned with various attractive wallpapers and stickers.

Some stickers she didn't quite like, but they had been put up by Cai Yuncui and Xia Qingrou, and she had never said anything about it.

Han Muxue's bedroom had a large wardrobe filled with designer bags, clothes, and some international brand accessories.

She was very keen on these luxury items, spending almost all of her Buque salary on them. Cai Yuncui and the others had once advised her to save and economize, but she hadn't listened.

Xia Qingrou jokingly said that Han Muxue was like the dragons in foreign myths, who loved money, shiny things, and all kinds of expensive luxuries, even buying international brand phones—the most fashionable kind.

Han Muxue actually accepted this description quite calmly. Her only current worry was that Buque's salary was too low to truly satisfy her spending desire.

Han Muxue scrolled through a social media app, feeling quite upset tonight. Looking at some comments and news, she became increasingly annoyed. So, her fingers danced across the keyboard, and as expected, more beautiful and melodious phrases would be born on the internet tonight.

After about half an hour, Han Muxue finally stopped her finger-pointing, not because she was tired of cursing, but because simply venting could not change her mood at the moment.

So she quit the social media app and started watching an animated series.

She really liked watching animations, especially when she was feeling irritable.

Although her squad knew about this hobby, Han Muxue never showed her interest in animations in front of outsiders, always watching quietly in her room.

At this moment, the animated series playing on her phone was about a girl with hearing loss in one ear and a volatile temper who was relentlessly pursued by the most popular boy at school. Because the plot was quite cliché, the series wasn't very popular, but Han Muxue really enjoyed it.

The animation was about a very handsome school hunk who had endless girlfriends at school but, due to some mishap, fell in love at first sight with the female lead and then confessed, asking her out.

However, because of her disability and low self-esteem, and initially disliking the boy's fickleness, she did not accept his confession.

Later on, due to certain circumstances, she ended up living with the school hunk. Although he was fickle in love, he was essentially an airhead and, after falling for the female lead, became utterly devoted to her, even causing some trouble with his foolish actions.

And while the female lead kept finding fault with him, she was gradually drawn in by his inner qualities... and also revealed the real reason why she had initially refused him.

"So stupid..." Han Muxue murmured, watching the male lead in the animation, when the door was pushed open.

Xia Qingrou, holding a pillow and giggling, said, "Xuexue, let's sleep together tonight!"

Without waiting for Han Muxue to refuse, she squeezed onto the bed.

"So annoying, you pervert!" Han Muxue cursed, but still made room for Xia Qingrou.

"Didn't you watch Magic Girl today?" asked Xia Qingrou, peeking at the phone screen, curious.

"I suggest you stop talking in the future, or everyone will know that beneath your pretty face is a brainless space. Can't I watch something other than Magic Girl?" Han Muxue replied as she exited the animation.

Xia Qingrou fumbled with Han Muxue's hand, "Hey, why did you pull out, come on, I was showing you!"

"Why are you here, not busy being lovey-dovey with your hubby?"

"Ah, he's a shy person, I can't force him, you know. Guys don't like girlfriends who are too clingy!" Xia Qingrou rubbed her cheek against Han Muxue's, "Xuexue is so much better, this little cheek, so sleek and smooth..." Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

Han Muxue showed no mercy and pushed Xia Qingrou's hand away, "Get lost, don't touch me randomly! You freak!"

"My beauty, what if I just touch you randomly, come on, bite me, ouch..."

Before Xia Qingrou could finish, she let out a scream, falling onto the bed, unable to get up.

"Xuexue, I was wrong, boo-hoo, put away your superpower please!" Xia Qingrou cried out in tears.

Han Muxue snorted coldly and retracted her superpower, "Touch me again and you're out."

Xia Qingrou still sulked, grumbling, "You seem particularly irritable tonight."

Han Muxue focused on her phone screen, "Did you get intimate with your hubby before you came over?"

"No way, I just said goodnight to him. I've been on the phone with my parents until now." Xia Qingrou continued to smile, rubbing against Han Muxue, "Hehe, is Xuexue jealous? Don't worry, stinky men are nothing, what's more important than good sisters!"

Han Muxue finally looked at Xia Qingrou, "What were you talking to them for so long, did you have a fight?"

Xia Qingrou was taken aback, "Xuexue, that hurts. You know the relationship I have with my parents. We have a great father-daughter relationship, we get along wonderfully, we would never fight. It's just that..."

"Just what?"

"Well... they want me to retire, apparently two more Buque have died back home."

Han Muxue fell silent upon hearing this and didn't say anything for a long time.

"If you want to retire, then retire. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself and don't need your concern." Han Muxue looked down, turned off the phone screen, and spoke softly, "Actually, retiring early isn't too bad. You're still young, and you could even apply for National University again."

"It's none of your business. Besides, you're capable of doing anything, why should I worry about you?" Xia Qingrou said, "I just don't want to retire. Look, I've been doing this for over three years now. Work a year or two more, and I could be like Sister Cai Yuncui, become a Graduate. How prestigious would that be! My two older sisters used to show off in front of me. Once I become a Graduate and take home a big sum of money, let's see if they can outshine me then."

"All that for a façade of prestige, yet there's not even much money involved. Besides, your family is quite well-off already and don't need your graduation bonus... It's really stingy, just two months' salary."

"This isn't about the money, it's about the dedication, aspiring to be like the virtuous. I'm trying to match up to Sister Cai Yuncui!"

Han Muxue scoffed, "Cut the act, I don't believe there's a second person in the world as silly as she is."

Xia Qingrou waved her hands, "Alright, alright, let's drop this topic. Anyway, I don't want to retire. I haven't yet slept with the boyfriend I just started dating. If I leave now, who knows which little vixen will snatch him away!"

"There's your real motive, you can't bear to leave your man." Han Muxue sneered, "Not to speak ill of your man, but better be careful. The way he talks, still entangled with his ex-girlfriend, he seems pretty trashy."

Xia Qingrou kept her smile and didn't respond.

"Another thing..." Han Muxue continued, "Today was his first time seeing a battle with monsters, such a bloody scene, yet he had no reaction at all. I heard that the first time you came here, you vomited on seeing the bodies of the monsters, right?"

Xia Qingrou became defensive, "Didn't you too?"

"I heard it's similar for nearly everyone. Seeing bodies and gore scattered everywhere, if they don't vomit, they'd at least feel uncomfortable. But he didn't."

Xia Qingrou tilted her head, "Maybe it's because his sister is a very powerful Buque, so he wasn't affected?"

"Idiot, no matter how powerful his sister is, she wouldn't take him directly to the battlefield to get accustomed! Could she predict the future, knowing her brother would awaken superpower?"

"All right, all right, if you're that curious, just ask him tomorrow!" Xia Qingrou dismissed it, hugging Han Muxue like a pillow, "Let's sleep now, I'm kind of sleepy, hehe, you smell so nice!"

"Because I had to wait for you, why did it take you so long to shower today?"

"I got dirty today, had to wash clean!"

"Because you have someone now, so you care about your image, right?"

"Hehe, don't say it out loud!"
