After Zhao Youyue recovered from her thoughts, she helplessly realized that she still have a lot of homework to do. Well, she was just a tenth grader, how can there be so much homework, she pondered while feeling depressed.

Subconsciously, Zhao Youyue wished to use her phone to check for the solutions straight away, saving herself some mental effort. However, she suddenly remembered the version of herself who studied extremely hard in the Dimensional Gate. How can she let herself be outshined by ‘Xu Jing’?

She silently left her phone beside her bed to charge and conscientiously started to complete her homework. This made her feel more at peace. Otherwise, if she was no longer able to enter the Dimensional Gate one day, wouldn’t she become a completely useless person?

Therefore, Zhao Youyue decided that she still needed to work harder in real life, even though these efforts seemed sporadic, as if they were sudden inspirations. For example, today she may have painstakingly completed her homework without the help of her cellphone; but if she had overindulged herself during the holidays and had not even written a single word on her homework up till the very last day, she would surely leave her conscience behind…

Zhao Youyue is indeed this kind of girl. If one was to comment that she is a lazy person, Zhao Youyue would somewhat show that she can be hardworking at times. To comment that she is the sort of person that is super diligent and has the motivation to improve will be a bigger baloney. Even she herself gets terrified when she is slacking off.

Currently though, she has a heart that longed to mess around and seek sense of presence. But what she needed was a positive image, not the kind of clown-like image where she will do something silly and embarrass herself. Even if she gained a sense of presence that way, there will only be jeering laughters when people thought of her. Urm, not to mention, she will still be easily forgotten…

Zhao Youyue did not solely want to become iconic characters in those novels, manga-s and games. In fact, she wanted to be the ideal heroine even in real life and will be paid great attention wherever she goes and receive heartfelt respects from everyone.

As Zhao Youyue gathered up a burning passion, she suddenly remembered something and her face sunk – she still needed to write the 3,000 words remorse letter, what a pity!

Although few days have passed, Mr. Qiu has yet to ask her for the remorse letter. Perhaps he has really forgotten about this matter. However, the possibility of this is quite low because the seventh-generation Fruit Phone that was confiscated from her was rather expensive. If it were some random books that were confiscated, it will not be a big deal even if they were not returned. But still, it is impossible that an expensive item like a cellphone is not being returned.

Therefore, Zhao Youyue must produce the 3,000 words remorse letter as soon as possible, just in case. Meanwhile, she has decided that as long as Mr. Qiu does not proactively request for the remorse letter, she will treat it as if nothing has happened and try to slip by the unpunished…

She has just completed her homework. For some of the questions which she was really unable to solve, she had no other way but to check for the correct solutions using her phone. This troubled her and in fact made her even more appreciative of the time spent learning in the Dimensional Gate. She also decided that whoever got in the way of her learnings in the manga, be it the hero or one of the “plain Jane-s”, she will make them suffer the consequences. As for now, she hoped to spend a longer time learning within the Dimensional Gate so that she can boost up her wobbly foundation from her previous days. She had no idea how long the manga “Pure Romance” could go on as a series but in any case, the longer the better.

Zhao Youyue was not so ambitious as to create an iconic character instantaneously and to also inherit a powerful ability. She found out that it was not really bad to become a side-character’s background board, silently learning and gathering knowledge. Well, this way seemed pretty reliable though.

Since working on her homework has drained most of her positivity, she certainly did not want to write the remorse letter on her own. She pondered in her mind, which candidate could she approach for help, hmm…
