After Jiang Chanji went to the bathhouse, the landlord and aunt cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and sat down to rest.

She flipped through the calendar, there were no tenants whose leases had expired today, and there were no tenants who needed to be reminded of their rent.

As soon as people calm down, their minds fly like wild horses on the loose.

Momiji Academy......

The fact that Jiang Chanji was admitted to the Red Leaf Academy, even today, it is difficult for her to fully accept, that kid ...... No, it's that girl, who doesn't look very smart, how can she be admitted to Red Leaf Academy?

She knows very well the difficulty of the exam in Red Leaf Academy, Jiang Chanji goes out to work and find a job every day, it is impossible to have time to study, and no matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to be admitted to Red Leaf Academy if he does not study.

Could that girl ...... Is it the so-called transcendent, who has awakened his abilities after entering puberty?

I'm afraid that's the only way.

Compared with those daughters who were born with a huge amount of wealth and power, their abilities are relatively fair, regardless of whether they are high or low, and they may awaken in girls who are rich in the world, or they can awaken in girls who are penniless.

What ability did the girl awaken?

Anyway, it can't be money ability, otherwise the rent owed would have been paid off long ago.

There are many different types of abilities, including abilities that have little practical effect.

She thinks that Jiang Chanji has mostly awakened the ability of chicken ribs that is useless, and the Red Leaf Academy does not care about the type of ability and the strength of the ability, as long as it is an extraordinary person, it can be accepted, anyway, it is not bad for money, otherwise it may be recruited by others.

It doesn't matter, no matter how chicken the ability, as long as you can enter the Red Leaf Academy, it is already the lifelong dream of many girls.

After a few moments, she stood up and walked back to her bedroom, digging through the bottom of the bookcase with a photo album from a long time ago.

The cover of the album has oxidized and yellowed, and the pages are a little sticky.

She stared silently at the album, turning the first page, and the memories of many years ago came alive again.

This is...... Me?

The girl in the photo is a young girl standing at the forefront of fashion, with a slender figure, decent and generous clothing, and light makeup.

She remembered that this was a photo her father had taken of her the day before she applied for Momiji Academy, when she had just gotten a new dress, and she was so happy that she didn't want to take it off after trying it on.

She rubbed her fingers over the photo for a long time, and she recalled the scene at that time, everything was vivid, she was so happy at that time, her family was rich, her parents were pampered, she had many friends, and even the sky seemed to be pink.

She prides herself on her good academic performance, and like every girl of the same age, her greatest wish is to be admitted to Red Leaf Academy.

The teachers were very optimistic about her, and her parents did their best to support her and believe in her.

In order to motivate her, her parents also spent a lot of money to buy her a new dress, although her family is still quite wealthy, the price of this dress is still far beyond her family's usual consumption level.

She and her parents looked forward to the day she wore her new dress to the opening ceremony.

Unfortunately, the imaginary day did not come true.

In retrospect, the failure of the entrance exam of Red Leaf Academy was actually unexpected and reasonable, sitting in the examination room and seeing those ghostly questions, she was like a toad jumping out of the well, for the first time she knew that the world was so vast, so vast that she trembled, and there were so many real geniuses in the world that completely destroyed her blind self-confidence.

She forgot how she got out of the exam room and how she got home.

It was probably a turning point in her life, the failure of the exam hit her confidence hard, and even the atmosphere in the family was no longer harmonious, her parents first complained about each other, then developed into a cold war, and finally the relationship broke down and divorced.

She couldn't stand the atmosphere and ran away from home before her parents divorced.

At that time, she may still have had some kind of fantasy that after entering the vast world, she might also become as powerful as those geniuses.

It was a turbulent time, the existence of the transcendent had just been officially made public by various countries, and the ordinary people in society were confused and uneasy, envious and afraid of the transcendent, and careerists were ambitious and tried to use the transcendent to plot evil.

Heroes emerge from troubled times, and many people think that they can make a career by taking advantage of the opportunity of social transformation, and she thinks so too, and even locks herself in her room all day for a while, staring at the metal spoon for a long time, hoping to bend the spoon with her own mind......

Then the spoon bent - not really bent, but she stared at it for too long, and her eye muscles and spirit were tired and she hallucinated.

It's really a dark history that can't be looked back on, but there are not a few people who do it, and after everyone learns about the existence of the transcendent, who doesn't want to have magical abilities overnight?

In fact, the state will openly recognize the existence of the transcendent because everything under the surface of the water has been settled, and the major interest groups have reached consensus and agreements, including the transcendent group, the meat has been divided, and only some broth is left for ordinary people to fight for.

More information gradually spread to the ears of ordinary people, such as that only young women after entering puberty have the opportunity to awaken their abilities, and bald uncles no longer need to fantasize......

The major interest groups have already mastered these inside stories long before the countries disclose their secrets, and ordinary people can only realize it in hindsight, and they can't catch up with the hot ones when they eat.

At that time, there was some chaos, and she was enthusiastically involved, but the state and major interest groups had already responded to it.

The social turmoil lasted for two or three years, and everyone found that the number of transcendents was small, and they were very low-key in their daily lives, and they neither wanted to rule the world nor destroy the world, after all, they were all young girls, so everyone slowly accepted the existence of transcendentals.

More than ten years later, when she finally returned disheartened after nothing outside, her father had died in loneliness, and what she left behind was the apartment building he had worked hard to get back all his life.

If there is no rent collection in this apartment building to support her life, how far will she be down without a skill?

She wiped the corners of her eyes, opened the closet, and turned all the clothes out until she reached the bottom two.

It was the dress and shirt she wore in the photo, which she only tried on the day she got her hands on it, and has been pressed to the bottom of the box ever since, forgotten — perhaps intentionally, because every time she saw it, it stabbed in her and her parents' hearts.

Now, the scar in her heart has healed, and she will no longer feel so uncomfortable that she wants to die when she sees this dress.

She walked over to the mirror with her shirt and skirt and tried to make a gesture, but couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Now the width of her body is twice the width of the shoulders of her shirt, and as for the hips...... I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it without the zipper of the skirt.

She couldn't imagine how she had gotten into this outfit at that time.

years, what a pig-killing knife.

Tonight, let's make a fried rice with lard residue to suppress the shock.

She put the clothes back in her closet, except for this suit.

She doesn't need this suit anymore, she can't use it anymore, but it can replace her for the opening ceremony of Momiji Academy, as long as she wears it on the right person, it's worth the big price she spent at the beginning.

She spread her shirt flat on the ironing board, carefully ironing out the tiny folds.

After so many years, it is still like a new purchase, a classic style that will never go out of style.

With all this done, she left the caretaker's room with her clothes and dust bag and a large set of keys.

Most of the few tenants in the building have gone to work or look for work, and there are a few dead houses that do not leave the house, and there is silence.

She walked to the third floor, the room where Jiang Chanji was renting, and opened the door with a spare key - as a landlord, it was theoretically inappropriate for her to do this, but Jiang Chanji hadn't paid the rent since the first day she moved in, even if she swept him out of the house now and recycled the room.

The room was empty, not even a single digital product, not even a mobile phone charger - these days, there are still people who don't have mobile phones, which shows the abject poverty of this girl.

In fact, Jiang Chanji used to have a mobile phone, but there were always creditors who found his location through the positioning base station, so he threw away the mobile phone card, and once he was so hungry that he sold the mobile phone for money to buy food, and there was no mobile phone again.

She spread the two pieces of clothing on his single bed with the dust bag, and then left a note: See if you can wear them, don't wear your torn clothes to school tomorrow, and save me from embarrassing my apartment.

Then she locked the door and left the room.
