Lin Yan revisited a week of peaceful junior high school life. This was her first time here at the original host's age.
It was quite novel, after all, it had been many years since her own junior high school days. Relearning these subjects and interacting with these blooming youths was indeed interesting.
The original host attended a prestigious school where all students were either wealthy or noble. However, because everyone was quite affluent, there wasn't the bullying and discrimination described in some novels.
After all, they had years of acquaintance, or commercial ties. Moreover, they all had a lot of extracurricular knowledge to supplement, so they wouldn't waste time bullying others.
The teachers in this school also valued every student dearly. After all, these students were darlings of their families, and the teachers couldn't afford to offend any of them. Thus, they dared not let any problems arise.
At most, there was mutual comparison, boasting about what their parents bought them or where they had traveled. To Lin Yan, who had experienced several worlds, it was rather cute.
"Host, the female lead has come looking for you," the system reminded Lin Yan.
"She's already here? She came quite quickly! It's a good time to add some excitement to this peaceful life."
Lin Yan tidied up the things on her desk, then slung her bag over her shoulder, preparing to go to the gate to take a car. The driver was already waiting at the gate.
"Fu Yan, do you have plans later?" a girl approached Lin Yan and walked with her.
"Nothing much, but I have a ballet class in about half an hour. Is there something?" Lin Yan asked her.
"I just wanted to ask if you could give me a ride. My driver has something to do today and can't pick me up. But if you have class, then it's not on the way. I'll ask someone else."
"Then I'm truly sorry," Lin Yan smiled apologetically at her.
"It's alright, I'll go ask someone else. After all, there are quite a few classmates heading in my direction," the girl said nonchalantly.
"Then hurry up and go. Don't be late. Didn't you say your ballet teacher is quite strict? She definitely wouldn't like people being late."
"Okay, okay, I'll go now." After bidding farewell to her, Lin Yan continued to walk out.
As soon as she reached the gate, Lin Yan saw a maiden about her current age, wearing a long dress, waiting not far from her car.
From her face, which still had baby fat, she recognized a five-tenths resemblance to Fu's mother. If the baby fat disappeared from her face, she would undoubtedly resemble Fu's mother even more.
Lin Yan didn't pay attention to Lin Yin over there. Yes, she was still called Lin Yin now, just as she was called Fu Yan now.
After all, Lin Yan didn't know her yet. Paying too much attention to her would surely make her sense something was amiss.
As Lin Yan approached the car, Lin Yin ran up to her.
"May I ask who you are?" Lin Yan feigned confusion, but still asked with a smile.
Lin Yan clearly saw a glint of resentment and disdain in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
"You may not know me, but I want to say that you are not your parents' daughter. I am!" Lin Yin said with a serious expression.
"Are you joking? That's not funny at all!" Lin Yan said with a stern face. "Please move aside, I have something to do."
"It's true, I am the Fu family's daughter. Look at my face, I resemble mother so much, don't you have any doubts?" Lin Yin's tone was somewhat arrogant.
Lin Yan observed her carefully for a moment, then said calmly, "If you really say so, I will take you to see Father and Mother. But I still have ballet class, and if we don't leave soon, I'll be late."
Lin Yan opened the car door. "Please!" She gestured for Lin Yin to get in, then got in herself.
Lin Yin, with a stomach full of unspoken words, had imagined all sorts of reactions from Fu Yan, but she hadn't expected her to be so calm. She hadn't even considered that her class was more important than this matter.
She seemed to see that aloof Fu Yan again, the one who looked down on her. She couldn't believe that Fu Yan at this age could be so composed, nor could she believe that she completely disregarded her own identity.
"Don't you really care?" Lin Yin turned to look at Fu Yan.
"The real cannot be faked, and the fake cannot become real," Lin Yan said calmly.
"Uncle Wang, take me to my ballet class first, then take this classmate to see my mother. She said she is Mother and Father's child, and I am not. I think this matter is beyond my ability to handle. So, you can take her to see Mother!"
"Miss, this, this is impossible. I watched you grow up. How can you not be the children of Mr. and Mrs.?" Driver Uncle Wang quickly said to Lin Yan.
"This little classmate, don't you have delusions?" he said to Lin Yin with a stern face.
"Uncle Wang, stop talking. Let's go quickly. Don't block the entrance," Lin Yan stopped Driver Uncle Wang from continuing.
She needed Lin Yin to meet the Fu couple now and be successfully recognized by the Fu family.
"Fu Yan, aren't you really afraid? Losing all of this, everything you have now?" Lin Yin couldn't believe that Fu Yan truly didn't care. After all, life in the Fu family was the ultimate destination for everyone.
"Why should I be afraid? If everything I have is not mine, why should I cling to it?" Lin Yan chuckled lightly.
"Besides, this might not even be true. Classmate, I'm really not that idle to play games with you.
The reason I'm willing to let you meet my mother this time is not because I doubt my identity. It's because I need to prevent such things from happening again.
If someone keeps coming to question my identity, and I have to doubt myself every time, wouldn't that be too tiring?"
Lin Yin was stunned for a moment. She had been very confident about her rebirth, after all, she was only facing an eleven or twelve-year-old Fu Yan. Even if she was smart, how smart could she be?
But now she was truly surprised. Was Lin Yan already this difficult to deal with at this age?
"But I am truly your parents' daughter. Twelve years ago, we were switched at birth at the clinic in Jingshan Town. Your biological parents' surname is Lin.
Don't you doubt why you don't resemble your parents? That's because you resemble the Lin couple. You've almost concentrated all their good qualities onto your face."
"So, the Lin couple? Aren't those the parents who raised you? How can you not even be willing to call them Mom and Dad, yet you call strangers you've never met so affectionately?" Lin Yan retorted.
"Miss, I've seen many people like this, Uncle Wang said disdainfully. It's just about preferring the rich and disliking the poor!"
