Ming Ti irritably shook off Ming Chen’s hand and said coldly, “What’s your name?”

“I’m Ming Chen, are you an idiot?”

“Where are you from?”

“Of course, Jiyue Temple…”

Ming Ti snorted coldly, “Good, you haven’t forgotten. I thought the rich and luxurious life in Jiangzhou might have made you forget your identity.”

Ming Chen isn’t stupid. She picked up the doll and dusted it off. “Of course, I won’t forget my identity. An orphaned little nun, if it weren’t for Ming Jing, we’d still be starving and freezing on the mountain.”

“In Buddhism, we must restrain our greed, anger, and ignorance, don’t forget that.”

Ming Chen sneered, “Are you out of your mind? We’ve returned to secular life, so we don’t need to abide by the rules and precepts of Buddhism anymore. If you want to make yourself miserable, don’t drag me down with you.”

“You…” Ming Ti couldn’t argue with her and coldly snorted, “I’m doing this for your own good.”

“No need, I know you’re worried about Ming Jing, and I am too. But this is the path she chose. Everyone has their path to walk, and instead of worrying about others, why not think about yourself? We should make the best of our happy lives, and Ming Jing will be happy too.” Ming Chen carefully combed the doll’s hair and spoke without looking up.

Ming Ti glanced at her, unable to believe that such words could come from the smooth-talking, lazy, and gluttonous Ming Chen. After thinking about it, her words made a lot of sense.

“You’re really annoying, you know? If you can’t learn Ming Jing’s compassion, then don’t wear a long face all the time. We don’t have the potential to become enlightened, and we’re just nine-year-old girls. Can’t we do what girls our age should do?” Ming Chen spoke with an impatient tone.

“What’s the point of worrying so much? Does Ming Jing need your concern? You think too highly of yourself.” Ming Chen walked into the school without looking back.

Ming Ti carried her schoolbag and trailed far behind Ming Chen.

It seemed she misunderstood Ming Chen too deeply.

She thought carefully about Ming Chen’s words, which were like a timely wake-up call.

Other students stared at Ming Chen and Ming Ti with a kind of gloating look.

Ming Chen squinted her eyes and stopped a boy with a smile, “What happened? Why are they giving me that look?”

The boy stared blankly at the cute little girl in front of him, who looked like a doll, and said subconsciously, “Someone said… said that you and Ming Chen have some strange illness that prevents your hair from growing. They said you both wear wigs and even called you… called you baldies… Ah, anyway, they said some really nasty stuff.”

Ming Chen grinned, “Ah, thank you, little brother, I got it.”

“You… you’re not mad?” The boy was surprised. Anyone would be mad if they heard someone talking about them like that, but she could still smile.

Ming Chen tilted her head, her face innocent and adorable, “Why should I be mad? She’s the one who did something wrong.”

Under the frightened gaze of the boy, Ming Chen walked away.

As soon as she turned around, Ming Chen quickly changed her face and gritted her teeth, “Li Yu, wait for me.”

Ming Ti quickly came up and grabbed her, “Don’t be impulsive.”

Ming Chen sneered, “Of course, I won’t be impulsive. I want to have some fun.”

As Ming Chen walked into the classroom, sure enough, everyone stared at her and Ming Ti with teasing and ill-intentioned looks.

Since the beginning of school, Ming Ti and Ming Chen, the twin sisters, have been the focus of the entire school. They are beautiful, young, and have top grades. Ming Chen is lively and lovely, making friends everywhere, while Ming Ti is serious and responsible, favored by teachers in all subjects, and is the class president.

At this age, children are prone to comparing and forming cliques. Among them, Li Yu has been a dominant presence since elementary school. Now that the spotlight has been stolen from her, she cannot stand it.

This time, she finally found an opportunity to discover the secret of these sisters and naturally wouldn’t miss it.

The power of gossip could be terrifying, especially for young girls in puberty who could hardly bear such mental abuse.

Ming Chen walked in like it was nothing, not to mention Ming Ti.

“Hey Ming Chen, do you really have a strange illness that causes you not to grow hair?” A girl sitting beside her asked curiously, batting her big eyes.

There was no malice, but this kind of curiosity was a fatal blow to a young girl.

Ming Chen smiled and said, “How could that be? Look at my beautiful hair.”

“But others said you were wearing a wig. If you let me touch it, I’ll believe you.”

“You believe whatever others say? Don’t you have your own thoughts?” Ming Chen glanced toward Xu Tianyu’s direction, and she was looking triumphant.

“Ah, I must be too outstanding and deserve to be envied.” Ming Chen deliberately raised her voice and touched her beautiful hair with a sense of regret, “My grades are so good, I’m so smart, and I’m so beautiful. Some ugly people, with only a few hairs on their heads, are jealous that my hair is fake. How can people be so vicious? Sigh…”

Ming Ti’s mouth twitched as she saw Ming Chen’s dramatic performance and tried not to laugh.

At this age, most children have no discernment and follow the crowd. After hearing Ming Chen’s words, they subconsciously looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu indeed had thin hair, a large forehead, and looked a bit like the God of Longevity. She wasn’t ugly but not pretty either.

Feeling the gazes from all directions, Li Yu thought they were mocking her and couldn’t control her rage. She slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Ming Chen, and angrily said, “You dare to curse me?”

Ming Chen rolled her eyes, making the surrounding boys’ eyes sparkle. How could someone look so good even when rolling their eyes?

“Which one of you heard me cursing?”

The whole class shook their heads.

Ming Chen shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, “The whole class has witnessed it, so you can’t falsely accuse me.”

The boys felt Ming Chen was adorable and glared angrily at Li Yu. How could they accuse people? Ming Chen was obviously so kind and cute, they were just jealous!

Li Yu saw Ming Chen’s radiant smile, rosy lips, and dazzling teeth, as beautiful and charming as a flower. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a mocking smile, provoking her.

Surrounded by boys’ whispers, “Did Li Yu spread the rumors? She must be jealous of Ming Chen, right?”

“It’s too vicious. If she can’t compete with Ming Chen, she resorts to such cheap tricks. From now on, we won’t play with her. Who knows if she’ll backstab us?”

“Ming Chen is obviously so well-behaved and cute. Last time in the cafeteria, she even bought me lunch when I lost my meal card. How could Li Yu slander her?”

As everyone was speaking for Ming Chen, Li Yu’s anger surged to her head.

“Ah, some people just like to put the blame on themselves. I can’t help it.” Ming Chen sighed regretfully.

Ming Ti noticed Li Yu’s mood was off and nudged Ming Chen secretly, “That’s enough, don’t provoke her.”

Ming Chen pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

For a while, everyone looked at Li Yu with even more disdain and anger.

Furious, Li Yu threw caution to the wind and rushed at Ming Chen. “You dare to oppose me? I’ll strangle you…!”

The classroom in the early morning was filled with chaos and people tumbling over one another.
