Chapter 469 Imperial Jade, Future and Past
Xiong Yu'an was visibly relieved after collecting all the homework; his deskmate hadn't caused any trouble today.
She felt a rare moment of relief.
The school bell rang, and the homeroom teacher walked in: "I saw the assignments for copying yesterday, and some people were still slacking off."
She scolded several who hadn't finished, saying the same things that everyone was tired of hearing.
Only then did I look at the list of students for the group project.
"It's you guys again." The homeroom teacher sneered angrily when he saw the familiar names. "You'll be standing for the rest of the class."
Until a cold gaze came over.
"And you, Xiong Yu'an, what's wrong with you?"
Xiong Yu'an was startled, his face showing astonishment and confusion.
"Stand up."
She hesitated as she stood up and looked at the teacher.
"You didn't do what you did yesterday, and you still won't do what you do today? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?"
Words were like needles piercing her entire body, as if draining all the blood from her.
Xiong Yu'an's heart suddenly raced, and his mind went completely blank.
She did not refrain from doing it; when did she refrain from doing it?
I did the physics homework I was supposed to do, accepted the lost assignment, and completed the ten times I was supposed to copy it as punishment.
Last night, I spent several hours reviewing so much material for our group project.
In the end what happened?
It's gone again? But I posted it in the group chat on my phone.
Why didn't the teacher mention the other members of the group of four? Why did she only mention her?
Where's the homework?
Where is her name? Didn't the group leader submit it?
The unspeakable grievance felt like ice against his heart, and Xiong Yu'an wanted to turn around and confront that person to demand an explanation.
She was about to explain to the teacher.
"It's understandable to have poor grades, but shouldn't you at least have a good attitude towards learning? Are you going to give up on yourself?"
Poor academic performance...
It is true, but it sounds so jarring.
But how much does it have to do with what happened before?
Being defined is like being nailed to a wooden board.
Xiong Yu'an was unable to defend himself.
She suddenly couldn't figure out which of the two things was making her feel worse.
Or perhaps it was all so overwhelming that she couldn't breathe.
Her attempts to defend herself were abruptly cut off, leaving her unsure of where to begin or to whom to speak.
So much so that she didn't want to argue anymore.
She lowered her head and turned off the tap herself.

The homeroom teacher said coldly, "I see that with the end of the semester approaching, none of you can concentrate."
"Those who do poorly on exams will do poorly, and those who don't want to do their homework will not do it."
"The parent-teacher meeting is tomorrow."
"Ah?" A chorus of shocked groans erupted from the classroom. "No!"
“Especially you few, I will contact your parents individually by phone first.”
Xiong Yu'an's hands and feet were cold.
"Class begins! Turn to the page..."
All Xiong Yu'an heard were fragments of words, forming broken and unintelligible symbols.
The bell rang, and Xiong Yu'an only moved his stiff legs a while after the homeroom teacher had left.
I walked step by step toward the group leader.
The other person was shouting and playing around with others. Xiong Yu'an called out to him, but there was no sign of him turning around.
Perhaps because his voice was too soft, Xiong Yu'an wearily raised his voice.
The team leader then turned around: "What?"
Xiong Yu'an frowned slightly, incredulous.
What? How could he ask such a question?
Could it be that I've misunderstood, and this matter has nothing to do with him?
Xiong Yu'an carefully chose his words: "My group assignment... was posted in the group last night, why didn't I hand it in?"
"Huh? You're in our group?"
Xiong Yu'an was stunned and stood there dumbfounded for a long while: "...You didn't know I was in the group?"
The team leader then suddenly remembered: "It seems like you were one of them."
There are only four people in total. Excluding him, there are only three left. Why would you use a word like "seems"?
Xiong Yu'an found the whole thing so absurd that he couldn't believe it. Was his presence so insignificant that he was practically invisible?
"Didn't you hand in the homework?"
As a group leader, one must handle the group members' assignments, and yesterday he volunteered to be the group leader and assigned them tasks.
"I just gave my homework to that guy, and he did it for me."
The group leader added, "I sent the link to that form in the group, and I thought you had already filled in your name."
It wasn't posted in the group at all.
Xiong Yu'an suddenly realized that he had added him from the class's main group chat and later took the initiative to join the smaller group chat.
After I went in, no one sent me any messages, not even the ones from last night.
I went in too late and couldn't see the previous messages.
It turned out to be the case.
original……
Xiong Yu'an didn't speak again, a heart-wrenching pain faintly emerging, like threads being pulled.
No one asked her to team up for the group project, and she waited for an empty spot.
No one invited her to join the small group, so she took the initiative to find people to join.
She was unaware of the crucial message sent in the group chat, and no one reminded her.
She sent out her homework, but no one replied.
Even when the assignment was handed in, no one asked her to confirm it, even though she had contributed the most to the entire group project.
name……
The person who collected the homework yesterday wrote their own name incorrectly.
The person who handed in their homework today didn't write their name.
Just how annoying is this name? How utterly obscure is it?
Whether it's Yu'an or Yu'an, it doesn't matter to others, right?
Just like oneself, one is insignificant to others.
Nobody cares about you.
Just like the polar bear that can't be received.
Just like the notebooks that are given away casually.
It's like nobody wants to listen to you.
...Xiong Yu'an's heartache became more pronounced, a kind of lonely sorrow and incomprehensible heartache.

The rapidly changing values made Zuo Xiuyan frown slightly.
This is the first time that such a rapid and widespread decline has occurred.
On the book on Xiong Yu'an's desk in the distance, where her name was written, the characters "Yu" and "Yu" rapidly shifted and began to flicker. In the process of shifting, the "Yu" character for "defense" became even more blurred, as if it had been painted with striped mosaic.
Zuo Xiuyan immediately noticed the anomaly, and all the details in his mind came together.
No wonder, as soon as I entered the level, all the subtitles I saw were calling out "jade" (玉).
No wonder, on the first night I saw Xiong Yu'an's homework, his name was blurry and distorted.
Zuo Xiuyan finally found the answer at this moment.
The events of the future created the scene we saw back then.
Because the "future" of this moment has made the world appear in that state in the past!
These are things that Xiong Yu'an personally experienced and that actually happened in real life.
The accumulation of multiple "negative" events—from family, friends, classmates, and teachers—caused her to feel a painful sense of constant destruction and insignificance.
She emphasized this pain and its cause in her name.
Because her name represents herself.
The re-emergence of the domain after its formation has already been reshaped by a part of her obsession and consciousness.
She no longer considered herself Yu'an, but Yu'an.
Her sense of self is constantly disappearing.
