Upon hearing Qianxun's words, Su He immediately reacted like a startled chestnut, exclaiming, "You call this 'nothing'? You've got a scar on your head!"
But no sooner had Su He spoken than Su Qing angrily retorted, "Su He, who let you dye your hair to look like some punk? Go and dye it back for me!"
Su He, unafraid, replied, "I won't, this is the popular desert sands yellow right now! I think it looks cool!"
At that moment, however, Su Qing had already picked up the feather duster on the table and lashed it towards his legs, shouting, "Still think you're cool? I'll make you cry right now!"
While hopping on one foot around Qianxun to avoid the blows, Su He protested, "Mom, sis is hurt, and it's fine if you hit me, but what if you hit her?"
Hearing this, Su Qing immediately paused her action, realizing the point.
After Su He's commotion, Su Qing's mood improved significantly, "Your sister was bullied, don't you trouble her. I'll go make her a bowl of noodles in the kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Su He immediately turned to Qianxun, "Sis, who's the blind fool who hit you? Just say the word and I'll get some brothers together to beat them up for you!"
He didn't understand how his sister had suddenly changed, speaking less and no longer keen on studying, but it was unacceptable for anyone to bully her!
Qianxun caught sight of the sincere concern in the young boy's eyes and saw something.
The next moment, she suddenly stretched out her hand and ruffled Su He's hair mousse-laden golden locks, saying, "I'm fine, no one will dare to bully me anymore. Now go dye your hair back, you look like a yellow-maned lion dog."
At Qianxun's words, Su He was taken aback, then scratching his head somewhat bashfully said, "So you think it looks bad too, huh? Then I guess I should dye it back..."
"Mm-hm, go on." Qianxun said.
"Okay then." Su He, a bit regretfully, ran his hand through his hair once more and then headed out the door.
Once Su He had left, Qianxun made her way towards Su Qianxun's room.
Su Qianxun's grades were excellent, and to provide her the best possible learning environment, she was given the largest room in the house.
But "large" was relative; the room was about fifteen square meters and, besides a single bed, only had a bookcase and a wardrobe.
The old Su Qianxun was a very tidy girl, but after her rebirth, living in a daze, she hardly cleaned her room, let alone performed basic self-care like bathing or changing clothes, if it wasn't for Su Qing's occasional reminders.
Luckily, when she went to school, Su Qing would tiptoe in and tidy up the room, so the small space wasn't too messy.
Entering the room, Qianxun walked towards the dressing mirror on the wardrobe.
Looking at her current self, she sighed once again.
In her past life, Qianxun had been beautiful beyond compare, so much so that even the Emperor, who was indifferent towards beauties, showered her with affection. But now, she had turned into this.
Fortunately, she still had various slimming and self-care regimes. With a bit of effort, regaining her beauty wasn't an issue.
Then, Qianxun proceeded towards the bookcase.
The bookcase was built-in, and the glass cabinet on the right was filled with books. To facilitate Su Qianxun's studies, Su Qing had even splurged on a computer for her to research.
The computer intrigued Qianxun.
According to Su Qianxun's memories, this device could provide access to information about the world without leaving home.
Reflecting upon the fact that a thousand years had passed since the Xia Dynasty, Qianxun gripped her hands tightly, then followed Su Qianxun's memory to switch on the desktop computer.
The history textbooks contained records about the Xia Dynasty's Emperor, but Su Qianxun's memories were too vague, so it was impossible to understand what became of him through her memories alone.
However, this computer could definitely provide the answers.
