I’ll meet you at the school gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Baotan swiftly replied—Five o’clock. I’m on duty today, so it might be five twenty by the time I leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Baotan glanced at her watch. It was only 2:10 p.m., three whole hours until five o’clock. She’d never felt time drag on like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, she quietly said to Xue Hongyan, \"Yanyan, can you do me a favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Hongyan nodded eagerly, \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You agreed so fast; don’t you even want to know what I need help with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Hongyan responded with genuine sincerity, \"Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Baotan felt warmth flooding her heart, \"My best friend is coming to see me. After school, could you take over my duty? I’ll cover for you next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Xue Hongyan, this was no big deal. Qi Baotan had helped her so much already, and she’d been wondering how to repay her. She agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immersed in joy, Qi Baotan didn’t notice Zhu Xing in the background, scheming something with two other girls—malicious glances occasionally darting toward Qi Baotan’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an finished her afternoon rest and met Gao Yuyue and Yan Lu at the entrance of the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue handed two cups of milk tea to Shen You’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An’an, can I tag along when you go see Baotan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lu almost choked on her milk tea, \"Baotan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skeptical gaze landed on Shen You’an’s face, \"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It might... be inconvenient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue: \"Alright, go meet your best friend then. What am I to you anyway, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a dramatic tone, Gao Yuyue dragged Yan Lu away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a few steps, Gao Yuyue slyly glanced back only to see Shen You’an leaving without looking back. Her face turned green with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lu threw her a sidelong smirk, \"Do you know what you look like right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue sipped her milk tea, the black pearls bursting under her teeth, filling her mouth with a smooth, luscious texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her puffed cheeks resembled a puffer fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look exactly like an abandoned ’first wife’ after being played by a scumbag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yuyue: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Shen You’an won’t hang out with you, I’m still here. Let’s call Huang Xi and keep having fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them plotted their next adventure, while Li Zonghong passed by from a distance, frowning slightly at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, her phone rang. Li Zonghong glanced at the caller ID.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unfamiliar number?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rejected the call, but the number immediately called back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zonghong hesitated before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Zonghong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice that came through was altered—unnaturally modulated. A chill ran down Li Zonghong’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your husband has accumulated two million in gambling debts. You’re negotiating a divorce settlement with him, but it’s pointless—this is joint debt between you two as a married couple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zonghong’s chest tightened. She cautiously glanced around and stepped into a secluded corner, lowering her voice, \"Are you from a debt collection agency? I’m warning you—contacting me won’t help. I won’t pay back even a single cent for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve said this countless times, haven’t you? But do debt collectors ever listen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something triggered Li Zonghong’s instincts, and she demanded through gritted teeth, \"Who are you really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s voice was cold and mechanical, like an emotionless AI, yet laced with an insidious persuasion that unconsciously lured people into an abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the person who can change your fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets near First High School were lined with stationery and bookstores. Shen You’an walked through them, stopping in each shop for a look, sometimes picking out collections of high school test papers or relaxing with comic books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bought some attractive and amusing stationery as well, a few pens here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she came out, her hands were full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she approached the south gate of First High School, the clock struck five sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, the dismissal bell rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an didn’t have to wait long before spotting the ecstatic figure of Qi Baotan dashing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She locked eyes with Shen You’an immediately, though hesitated at first—almost as if she couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an opened her arms, and Qi Baotan stared for a moment before rushing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An’an, I missed you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She threw her arms around Shen You’an in a tight embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an chuckled, \"Alright, let’s go eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Baotan loosened her grip and gave Shen You’an an up-and-down look, her expression still incredulous, \"An’an, I almost didn’t recognize you—you look amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an handed her a bag, \"For you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Baotan accepted it, \"You even brought gifts to see me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she teased, the joy on her face was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to record this moment of happiness to savor later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Baotan reached for her backpack but couldn’t feel her phone. She froze for a moment before slapping her forehead, \"Look at me—I left my phone on my desk! An’an, wait here for me, I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing her belongings to Shen You’an, Qi Baotan turned and dashed off with hurried steps.\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-06T12:23:51.869Z",1,"novelbin.me","a567c6d2a2660bcddb1ea60a5593dee6954b506b732e183cb68c2762b0bc3925","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-502","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-150",1154,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdrama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-cover.jpg"]
