Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Wang Chunhua, in particular, looked at Shen Nian not just with admiration, but with immense gratitude.

This wasn’t the first time Shen Nian had helped her. While having a roommate like Cao Yuqing made Wang Chunhua miserable, she was overjoyed to have a roommate like Shen Nian.

”Shen Nian, who do you think you are?! All that pretty talk, but you’re no different from Wang Chunhua—just another country bumpkin!”

Cao Yuqing seethed with resentment for Shen Nian. Before, she had only targeted Wang Chunhua, but now she was lashing out at Shen Nian as well.

Hearing Cao Yuqing’s words, Wang Chunhua looked at Shen Nian, her face etched with guilt.

It was all her fault. If not for her, Shen Nian wouldn’t have been targeted by Cao Yuqing like this; she had dragged her into it. She was even tempted to tell Shen Nian to just ignore her—to let Cao Yuqing hurl a few more insults.

However, Shen Nian’s reaction was completely different from Wang Chunhua’s.

”Yeah, you’re right. I am from the countryside. So what? You, a ’noble’ city slicker, still have to share a dorm with a ’country bumpkin’ like me! If you’re so high and mighty, so amazing, then don’t live with us. Use that ’noble ability’ of yours and move out!”

Shen Nian shrugged. She couldn’t care less about being called a girl from the countryside.

No, in her past life, she might have cared. But after everything she had been through, Shen Nian’s heart had grown far stronger than it once was.

Words like Cao Yuqing’s posed no real threat to Shen Nian’s resilient spirit. They couldn’t even cause a single ripple.

’So what if I’m from the countryside? What matters is that I’m capable!’

”You...”

Shen Nian’s words hit Cao Yuqing right where it hurt. Of course she wanted to move out, but she simply didn’t have the ability! Her insignificant Cao Family had no power to make the school change its rules.

Moreover, Shen Nian’s words reminded Cao Yuqing of her recent encounter with Chu Lingxiu. She thought about what Chu Lingxiu had said, and how the very things she herself couldn’t accomplish seemed so effortless for the other girl.

And yet, she had managed to thoroughly offend Chu Lingxiu without even knowing who she was.

At this thought, the look Cao Yuqing gave her two roommates grew even fouler.

Shen Nian, however, was completely unfazed by Cao Yuqing’s glare.

”You what? Since you can’t do it, then I suggest you get smart. Otherwise, this ’country bumpkin’ might just have what it takes to make your life impossible here!”

Cao Yuqing scoffed internally at Shen Nian’s words. She simply didn’t believe Shen Nian had that kind of power.

However, just as she was about to retort, her eyes met Shen Nian’s, and the words caught in her throat.

What kind of look was that? When she met Shen Nian’s eyes, Cao Yuqing actually felt afraid. She felt an immense pressure.

Under that pressure, she couldn’t even muster the will to defy Shen Nian.

’How is that possible! She’s just a bumpkin—how can she have such a piercing gaze?’

’It’s an act. It has to be an act!’

However, when Cao Yuqing blinked and tried to compose herself, she found that Shen Nian’s expression hadn’t changed. And neither had her own reaction to it.

’This Shen Nian... her gaze is even more terrifying than that person’s from before. What... what is happening?’

Having never encountered a situation like this, and after suffering two setbacks in a row, Cao Yuqing felt like her fragile heart was about to shatter into a million pieces.
