After the college entrance exams, my parents were video-calling my older brother, who lived far from home. They were helping me calculate my score and figure out which universities to apply to.
The doorbell rang. My mother got up to answer it, while I kept talking to my brother on video. “Bro, I’m confident I can get into either Tsinghua or Peking University, but I’m leaning toward Tsinghua. Chen Hao and I have already agreed to apply to the same university.”
My brother scolded me from the other end of the call. “That kid! I’ve never liked him. He’s always trying to steal my little sister away from me!”
My attention shifted to the doorway.
According to the original story, the Zhao family’s biological daughter should have shown up the day before the college entrance exams, but she had never appeared.
The door opened, and a girl in a high school uniform stood outside. “Uncle, Auntie, I might be your biological daughter...”
Unlike the description in the novel, Zhang Xiaoling was supposed to go to the Zhao family in shabby clothes to prove she was their daughter. But now she was wearing a school uniform, which meant she had either been reborn or, like me, had transmigrated into the book.
