"... "

As soon as I said that, Yu Nai was caught in a dilemma and couldn't decide what to do. It felt like... Hmph, I immediately understood and my tone gradually grew colder.

It would be better if I completed this task myself. After all, the exam questions were so extensive that even I couldn't guarantee perfection. If the teacher who graded the papers found even a slight flaw, our summer vacation would be ruined.

Seeing that I had no intention of conspiring with her, Yu Nai decided to persist and persuade me.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll be by your side, so you don't have to be afraid of being lonely!"

"Uh, your words don't really move me at all..."

I shook my head and sighed.

After saying that, Yu Nai started to attack me from different angles, and I did my best to dodge her attacks, refusing to be defeated by her annoying remarks.

"Alright, I need to review my homework now. Sorry, I don't have time to join your activity..."

Saying that, I simply declined the invitation to the activity department. Besides, the thunderstorm outside had already subsided, and my rented apartment wasn't far from here. It would be easy for me to walk back.

Boom!

Just as I was about to leave the activity room, thunder and lightning suddenly sounded outside the window, illuminating the dim corridor. I was startled. In that moment, it felt like the lightning was charging towards me, and I couldn't dodge it. It was as if I was bathed in the center of the lightning, feeling its power.

"Ah!"

Not only was I scared, but at the same time, I heard screams coming from behind me in the activity room. I quickly turned around and opened the door.

"Yu Nai!!!"

Empty, empty, empty...

It was empty?!

What shocked me wasn't that there was nobody behind the door, but that there was a bottomless abyss. I almost fell into it.

Huh? What's happening...

My brain couldn't function anymore, and I gradually fell asleep, as if everything around me disappeared in that instant.

"Did I get struck by lightning?"

I couldn't believe it. The cause of my death was being struck by lightning, and indoors!

Oh my god, I haven't done anything wrong. Why did I get struck?

Although my life was short, I have never done anything disgraceful.

But thinking back to what I did today, it seems that not wanting to help with cheating is the only thing I did. But then again, is it wrong to not want to aid in cheating? Is it wrong? Is it wrong? Is it...

"Is it wrong?!"

I suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed the collar of the person next to me, shouting.

"Uh... I don't know... Miss, this person has woken up!!!"

The girl in the pale pink dress immediately broke free from my grasp, and in that instant, I felt an astonishing strength from her. Who would have thought that this seemingly frail girl had such power.

"Uh, where am I?" I asked, rubbing my head.

Only then did I notice the peculiar decorations in this room. The overall color scheme had a classical touch...

"The young master has awakened?"

"Huh?"

Just as I was still in a state of astonishment, a girl in a emerald green gown suddenly entered the room. Although she wasn't wearing much makeup, it was precisely because of this that she exuded a fresh and elegant aura.

"Young master, today my father saw you fainting on the side of the road when he was transporting the carriage, so he brought you back..."

"Carriage? Do carriages still exist in this era?"

"Of course, carriages are still very important! It seemed like my father thought you didn't look like an ordinary person based on your attire, so he saved you."

"Uh... what do you mean by not looking like an ordinary person? My surname is Ye, and my name is..."

Before I could finish speaking, the seemingly lady-like girl suddenly knelt down.

Honestly, I hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but then a middle-aged man in a black robe entered the room, clearly puzzled by the sight of the girl kneeling."Xiang'er, what are you doing...?"

Seeing his daughter kneeling on the ground, the middle-aged man was quite puzzled. Then, it seemed like he also noticed something and knelt beside his daughter in front of me.
