[The Ultimate Three Kingdoms] Sparrow Treading on a Branch

Every student at Donghan Academy knew that Bian Xianzhao was born surrounded by light, an auspicious sign. As the seasons came and went, she grew into someone both talented and beautiful.

But few people had ever heard her speak.

Her usual one-syllable replies were enough to dispel any suspicion that she was mute.

New students would often see this famous figure sitting alone by the window, silently teasing a bird, and turn to the student council president to ask: Have you ever heard her say two words in a row?

The president was refined and gentle, but only smiled without answering.

Bian Xianzhao had loved singing since she was little. Being utterly tone-deaf was enough to make anyone despair, but it could not stop her from loving to sing, until one day a little brat caught her at it and loudly mocked her.

The two got into a fight.

Even at such a young age, she was incredibly strong, and the little brat was no match for her. He could only admit defeat and was forced to accept her as his boss.

But as they grew older, the girl realized that all her friends had found partners, while she was still alone.

After calling an emergency meeting, everyone reached the same conclusion:

Bian Xianzhao was too wild and had no femininity, so she couldn't attract any outstanding, handsome guys. The boys would only ever see her as one of the guys!

Bian Xianzhao suddenly understood.

After enrolling at Donghan Academy, she transformed overnight into an aloof, mute genius beauty, keeping up the act for a whole year.

But where were all those outstanding, handsome guys she was promised?!

Why hasn't a single one shown up, hey?!

☆☆☆

Cao Cao often felt that no one could match his childhood sweetheart next door for sheer perseverance.

After all, who could have imagined that the girl who chattered nonstop as soon as she got home could really keep her mouth shut at school for an entire year?

But when did his feelings for her change?

When he heard his childhood sweetheart lamenting that no outstanding, handsome guys liked her, the usually calm and composed Cao Cao nearly blurted out how he felt.

Cao Cao gazed at her affectionately:

Maybe I'm just not outstanding enough for her to notice me.
