"Sister, Im begging you... with so many people downstairs, you dont want me to have a hard time in school later on, do you?"

  Meng Ting was conscious and being pushed forward by someone.

  As she clearly heard this familiar voice, her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively turned around and tightly grasped the girls hand.

  Shulan almost screamed: "Sister, it hurts, let me go!"

  Meng only then realized that something was amiss.

  Everything in front of her was a dull gray, as if the world had been shrouded in a layer of curtains.

  Meng listened absent-mindedly and reached out to touch her own face, where a pair of sunglasses perched on the bridge of her nose, her eyes feeling dry and sore. The Shulan in front of her looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a voice that was even more tender. Shulan glanced at her warily and asked, "You promised me, you wont go back on your word, will you?"

  Regret?

  Meng Ting glanced around with pained eyes, they were in a very dark place, the music from the front desk echoed to the back and became a very vague melody. Meng Ting lowered her head to look at her own hands, her pale and slender hands were beautiful and delicate under the dim light, without the hideous scars after the burn, she couldnt help but be distracted.

  Shulan saw that she was not feeling well, and her heart skipped a beat. She feared that she had discovered something, so she lowered her voice: "Sister, this is a very important assessment. If we dont pass, what if Dad finds out about the illness..."

  Meng turned his head to look at her, she wanted to ask Shulan: Why did you loosen that rope and let yourself die in the landslide?

  She knew she was already dead. However, after the terrible weightlessness, when she opened her eyes again, she returned to five years ago. The Shulan in front of her was tender and the scene was very familiar. Meng Ting remembered this matter, that year she was in high school, and Shulan asked for her help with the art exam.

  Shulan said that if she didnt, she would be looked down upon by others in school later. Shulan had only learned piano for two years and didnt have much talent, at most a mediocre player. Mengting was worn out by her for a long time, considering Shus fathers health, finally agreed to help his sister this time.

  Perhaps it was her first time doing something bad, but from then on, her life took a turn for the worse.

  After being dug out as a substitute for Li, her schoolmates looked at her with subtle eyes.

  Two months later, her eyes recovered and Meng Ting suddenly became the school flower of No. 7 Middle School. Her eyes had not seen daylight for three years, and everyone thought she was blind. However, such beauty burst out without reservation this year, causing many male students in the school to be unable to move when they saw her walk by.

  Meng Ting was burned and disfigured while saving Shu Lan, then Shus father met with misfortune, he himself was ostracized by his relatives, and finally died tragically in a landslide.

  At this moment, Shu Lan whispered in front of her: "Sister, I guarantee that this is a daily assessment and not a ranking score. It wont affect other classmates, and you dont want me to be looked down upon for three years in high school... Our family was originally poor, because of your eyes..." She suddenly stopped, looking at Meng Li with apprehension.

  Meng Tings heart slightly trembled, and almost instantly understood her meaning - in order to treat your eyes, our family is now so tight.

  But whats funny is that Shulans tuition for this school is also exorbitantly high.

  Moreover, Meng Ting knew that Shu Lan was deceiving herself once again.

  What kind of art exam is this, its clearly for Jiang Ren whos in the audience. This year, Jiang Ren made a mistake and was expelled by his family to come study at Li Cai High School, all the girls in the grade are preparing to fawn over him.

  The schools talent show is about to start, Shulan insisted on signing up to save face, but only realized at the last minute that her own talent was not impressive, so she asked Meng Li to substitute for her.

  In H City, there is no one who doesnt know the Jiang family.

  The Jiang family has been a prominent clan for centuries, and in this coastal city, nearly half of the real estate is under their name. The newly launched seaside villas are also part of the Jiang familys property portfolio. No one knows what mistake Jiang Ren made, but even if he had committed murder or arson, someone with his wealth might only encounter such a situation once in a lifetime. As the sole heir to the Jiang family fortune, everyone knew that Jiang Ren was not an easy person to get along with, yet people still fawned all over him.

  Shulan is no exception.

  Shulan didnt know where she had learned about Old Jiangs feelings for his late wife. Jiang Rens mother was a true noble lady, talented and elegant, cold as snow. Even though she had passed away many years ago, Old Jiang had never remarried.

  Shulan decided to use her talent to win over Jiang Ren.

  Meng Ting only felt dizzy and confused, and after a while, she was both grateful and bewildered. Without saying anything else, at this moment facing her white-eyed wolf sister in front of her, Meng Ting didnt know how to deal with her.

  And what about Jiang Ren?

  She remembered Jiang Ren who had climbed over the wall in his previous life to see her, chasing after a bus for three kilometers just to get her to turn around and look at him.

  Everyone knows that Jiang Ren has a violent temper and cant control his anger. But Meng Ting also knew that his emotions were almost pathologically obsessive. She didnt want to have anything to do with him for the rest of her life, and in her memory, he killed someone a few years later.

  Cant afford to mess with this kind of person, cant even hide?

  "Please welcome Class 2 (8), Shu Lan."

  The hosts crisp voice came over, Shulan gritted her teeth and hastily put the white lace hat on Meng Ting. She also took away her sunglasses.

  Under the dim light, Shu Lans eyes, which were usually bright and ethereal, lost their focus for a moment.

  Who would have thought that under the blind mans sunglasses, there was a pair of eyes more beautiful than the starry sky? Shulan felt both hatred and pleasure. The pleasure came from the fact that for three years, everyone had thought Meng Ting was an incomplete blind person.

  A blind person, almost no one associates her with beauty. Beauty is hidden from view, and no one catches a glimpse of it.

  Shulan came back to her senses and knew that this sister had a gentle temperament, so she said softly: "Sister, I told my friend in advance about the warm yellow dim light. If your eyes hurt later, just close them. Do you remember the piano keys? It should be fine, thank you."

  Thinking of Fathers deteriorating health day by day.

  Meng Ting was stunned for a moment, her thoughts were a bit slow. Until she was pushed onto the stage by Shu Lan. The spotlight shone on her body in an instant.

  Shulan didnt deceive her, the stage lights had been dimmed to a warm color in consideration of Meng Tings eyes which couldnt tolerate strong light. It was only this year that Meng Ting had undergone corneal transplant surgery, having worn dark glasses for over three years and walked with a white cane. A month ago, she had just finished the operation and was supposed to wait two more months before removing them.

  The audience fell silent as soon as she stepped onto the stage.

  A white lace hat covered most of her face, and the beautiful outline and small white chin could be vaguely seen. She wore a white silk long dress with a red belt around her waist, and her long hair fell down to her waist. On her feet were a pair of black patent leather shoes.

  She is like a moon goddess who walked out of a fairy tale.

  Meng Ting narrowed her eyes, she knew Jiang Ren was at the back of the auditorium.

  She told herself not to panic, he didnt even know her yet. She was now impersonating Shulan.

  Not far away under the lamp there is a piano, black and white keys shining with a special elegance.

  Meng Ting looked at it, with a moment of tenderness in her heart.

  She sat down on the stool, placing her hands on the keys, and a distant memory warmed up. The moment the piano sound came out, her body trembled slightly. She finally had a real feeling of being reborn.

  The lower part is quiet and still.

  This is a vocational school, most people will play electric guitar, but few people choose to play piano.

  After a while, a soft voice came from below: "The people of Class 8 are so beautiful." Although the outline was vague, it inexplicably felt beautiful and couldnt be described as good-looking.

  "What is she playing?"

  Someone who understands piano said: "Beethovens Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor."

  "What the hell is this ridiculously long name?"

  "...also known as Moonlight Sonata."

  "Whats her name?"

  The host said, "Shulan from Class 8."

  Shulan peeked out from behind the curtain, feeling both delighted and resentful. She knew Meng Ting was formidable, having known it since she was young. If not for her injured eyes, Meng Tings beauty would have been renowned throughout the entire school years ago.

  But happily, after this incident, she will be the famous one.

  What if Meng Ting is even more formidable? The honor belongs to her.

  Moreover, Shulan looked towards the back of the hall.

  At the back of the hall, a silver-haired youth threw down the last pair of cards in his hand. The moment the piano sound started, he raised his eyes and looked up at the stage.

  Her heart beats faster, Jiang Nian.

  Jiang Rens hair was a brilliant silver this year, wearing a black shirt and jacket, the jacket open, with a few unruly strands. He didnt sit properly in his chair, but instead sat on the higher armrest, his legs curled up casually, his feet resting on the soft seat of the boy next to him.

  That classmate was bullied and had his seat taken but didnt dare make a sound, he could only sit stiffly.

  He Junming stared at the stage with his mouth agape, and after a while he came back to himself: "Shes from our school?" He muttered to himself, it doesnt seem like her.

  Licheng Vocational High School is a paradise for rich kids. A group of people who are good at eating, drinking and having fun but poor in academic performance, yet there isnt such kind of feeling among girls.

  How to say, so pure and clean that its unbelievable, beating them into little hoodlums.

  Fang Tan also exclaimed in surprise and couldnt help but glance at Jiang Ren.

  Jiang Ren lit a cigarette, but didnt smoke it, instead pinching it between his fingers. Noticing Fang Tans gaze, he put the cigarette to his lips: "What are you looking at? You really believe those rumors?"

  Fang Tan was afraid he would get angry: "I dont believe it."

  They knew that Jiang Ren actually disliked this kind of girl the most.

  Because Ningers mother despised his father for being coarse and ignorant, she looked at Ninger and his father as if they were dirty things.

  This kind of woman is always high-minded. She doesnt think about how theres no money to support her carefree and elegant lifestyle.

  The river endured the distance, unable to see what she looked like. However, Qin indeed played well, his fingers plucking down the ash. His gaze still fell on her body.

  Meng Ting lowered her eyelashes, and what she was most sensitive to was Jiang Rens gaze. This time she wasnt foolish, her fingers pressed down, and she deliberately played a wrong note by moving one key to the right. Meng Ting missed several black keys, and the audience below finally lost that sense of astonishment, starting to chatter and make noise, each playing their own tune.

  Shulan was stunned in disbelief.

  How did Meng Ting play it wrong?

  Jiang Ren sneered and looked away, letting He Junming reshuffle the cards.

  Meng didnt want to disappoint or upset Shus dad, but he also wouldnt help Shulan again. It was because of what happened today that Shulan became a school celebrity in her past life, and the incident with Li Daizhuang had such a big impact.

  She finished playing and bowed, rubbing her sore eyes as she left the stage. Shu Lan quickly pulled her into the dressing room: "How did you play it wrong..."

  Meng put on her sunglasses, feeling a bit more comfortable with the light. She didnt respond to Shulans words, and Shulan was in a hurry about something else, not paying attention: "Lets quickly change our clothes back."

  The two sisters changed their clothes. Shu Lan endured the feeling of her waistline being tightly tied and instructed Meng Ting: "Remember to leave by the back door."

  Meng Ting suddenly grabbed her arm: "Shu Lan, do you dislike me?"

  Shu Lans expression stiffened for a moment, then she smiled after a while: "Sister, what are you thinking? Youre so good, how could I dislike you. Shu Yang doesnt like you, but Ive always liked you."

  Meng Ting let go of her hand and weakly closed her eyes. Lies.

  Only after rebirth did she understand, Shu Lan and Shu Yang, this pair of dragon and phoenix twins, one who pretended to like her but hated her to death, the other who was cold on the surface but willing to raise money to help her treat burns. Peoples hearts are hidden behind their faces, yet they have to pay too much to understand.

  Its just regrettable that she didnt get to grow up in her past life before dying.

  It wont happen in this lifetime.

  Back in high school for this year, everything can be redone.

  Meng Tingmu watched as Shu Lan hastily walked out, her skirt fluttering behind her. She knew she was going to look for Jiang Ren. In their past life, because of a careless remark made by Jiang Ren, Shu Lan had become extremely excited. What about this time? Would Jiang Ren still be interested in the fake Shu Lan?

  She picked up her cane, pushed open the back door and walked out. In an instant, the golden autumn of October fell into her eyes, but in front of her was a gray landscape. The birdsong was crisp, with a hint of autumns chill, the flowers on both sides of the road were in full bloom, with a subtle fragrance after the rain.

  The sun came out, Meng Ting closed her eyes and walked forward slowly. The surgery was very successful, and in two more months, she would be able to see the sky and sunlight again. In this life, everything is still worth it.

  "Ning Ge, look over there." He Junmings face was full of unspoken words.

  Looking out of the window in the rest room, the sky is a bright blue. A girl wearing No. 7 Middle School uniform walks towards the school gate with a cane.

  Jiang Rens hand rested on the windowsill, her gaze following He Junmings pointing finger to fall on Meng Tings frail back.
