Let’s go downstairs to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an closed the piano lid, got up, and left the piano room with Gao Yuyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs in the dining room, the table was set with four dishes and one soup—two meat dishes and two vegetarian ones, all perfectly presented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an and Gao Yuyue took their seats. Gao Yuyue glanced at Xu Cui, who was busy in the kitchen, \"Aunt Cui, come join us for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Cui glanced at Shen You’an and said hesitantly, \"Miss, you all eat. I’m not hungry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With guests present, how could she, a servant, join them at the table? Otherwise, wouldn’t the guest think the Gao family lacked proper etiquette and discredit Miss Shen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an pulled out the chair next to her, \"Join us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone, though calm, carried a resolute firmness that couldn’t be challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue peeked at Shen You’an and curved her lips into a smile, \"Aunt Cui, if you don’t eat, we won’t either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Cui sighed in resignation, but felt a warmth in her heart. She fetched a set of tableware and cautiously took the seat next to Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an asked casually, \"From your accent, are you from Lan County?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Cui was surprised, \"How did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the soft light, the girl’s fair and delicate face radiated a jade-like grace and calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, I’m from Lan County too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Gao Yuyue’s turn to be astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Cui studied the girl beside her with disbelief, \"Why don’t you have an accent when you speak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Mandarin was so flawless that unless she mentioned it herself, no one would guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, she’s from Lan County?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this girl’s demeanor was nothing like someone who came from a small place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lan County, Qingsong Town, Xiaojing Village—that’s my hometown.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this luxurious and elegant villa, she stated her origins without hesitation or shame, as if it were a matter of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue leaned her cheek against her hand, smiling thoughtfully as she watched Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first day of elementary school, she had noticed Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had stared at that horribly messy mushroom haircut, its uneven ends resembling a dog’s chew toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone else was chatting, Shen You’an sat quietly in the corner, like a pitiable soul no one cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue took one look and disdainfully turned her head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from that moment, her nightmare began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From elementary school to middle school, this seemingly ordinary \"little pity\" became the mountain she could never surpass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, that frustration faded away, and after years of looking at it, the once hideous mushroom haircut somehow started to grow on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t like making friends—those idiots were either obsessing over crushes or gossiping all day, which was unbearably boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when she was alone, she liked to secretly observe Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, she stumbled upon some \"secrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shen You’an that outsiders saw was only what Shen You’an wanted them to see. The real her was far more interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life is meant to be spent with interesting people to make it worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days that followed were like peeling back layers of a shell, uncovering surprises one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, her effortless candor in revealing her humble origins in Xiaojing Village had utterly changed how people saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate such a small gesture; very few people could achieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Luuo Yunqi and Qin Xiangge, for instance. Despite their affluent backgrounds and privileged educations, they remained trapped in shallow fame and vain glory, sinking deeper and deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they boasted superior family circumstances, their inner worlds were barren and pale, incapable of ever reaching Shen You’an’s level of spiritual richness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue felt that the best decision of her life was choosing to approach Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting close to her and earning her genuine trust to open her heart wasn’t an easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, she succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sly grin spread across Gao Yuyue’s face, a look of triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an’s candid sincerity not only surprised Xu Cui but gradually made her feel more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having worked for the Gao family for so long, Xu Cui was an astute person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized that this girl deliberately spoke this way to reassure her, signaling that she needn’t feel out of place—after all, Shen You’an wasn’t some high-born heiress. She could treat her as just an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see someone treat a servant with such genuine patience—it only confirmed how right Miss Shen was in befriending her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm smile spread across Xu Cui’s face as she eagerly used the communal chopsticks to serve dishes to both Gao Yuyue and Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining table was filled with harmony and laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a jarring phone ringtone abruptly shattered the cozy atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Cui instinctively grew tense. She put down her chopsticks, \"Miss, Miss Shen, please continue eating—I’ll go answer the phone. It’s likely another telemarketing call again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",876,"2026-06-06T12:23:42.048Z",1,"novelbin.me","593167b22659462eea88233f5d802609da2dc5a0134ce0ad24f747f8e1b48cbf","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-375","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-373",1154,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdrama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-cover.jpg"]
