Chapter 509: Chapter 475: This Isn’t Human

She said goodbye to her brothers in the afternoon and returned to her dorm room. Her other three roommates were already there, and the room had been cleaned up.

It was clear at a glance that she was the youngest, and her three roommates all stared at her in amazement.

The other two were named Peng Lele and Hong Yan. After introducing themselves, they all sat down to chat.

Xu Mei said, “Oh, by the way, Jiaojiao, how old are you? With all your brothers here earlier, I didn’t dare say a word to you.”

Peng Lele said with a wide smile, “Xu Mei told us earlier that you came with several brothers who were bustling around helping you, and she said they were all super handsome. We didn’t quite believe her, but now that we’ve seen you, I’m sure your brothers can’t be far behind.”

Hong Yan nodded. “Seriously, you’re way too beautiful. How can anyone even look like you?”

Yun Jiao smiled openly. “I’m sixteen, and yes, my brothers really are quite handsome.”

She was proud of her brothers, too.

“Only sixteen! You got into Qingbei at just sixteen!”

“When I was sixteen, I was just a high school freshman, struggling just to have a chance at getting into Qingbei.”

The other two wholeheartedly agreed. They were in the exact same boat.

Peng Lele asked, “So what score did you get to come here? I’ll go first—I got a 697.”

Hong Yan said, “I got a 704.”

Xu Mei added, “I was just two points higher than Hong Yan.”

Yun Jiao stated her score without any hesitation, and her three roommates’ eyes widened in shock.

Hong Yan wailed, “Oh my god, you… you’re not even human.”

‘Huh? Did she just insult me?’

Hong Yan explained, “How can anyone be so beautiful and have such ridiculously high scores at the same time? Is that something a normal person can even possess?”

The other two nodded furiously. Exactly! They were dying of envy.

Jealousy? They couldn’t even muster it.

‘Besides… she’s just so, so beautiful.’

‘Looking at that face, what was there to be jealous of? Someone that beautiful couldn’t possibly be at fault.’

Yun Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Is your hair dyed? It looks amazing.”

Yun Jiao tossed her hair. “Nope, it’s my natural color. Are students at our school even allowed to dye their hair?”

“I don’t know, I don’t think there’s a rule against it. Is that really your natural color? That’s incredible. I’ve never seen anyone with blue hair.”

“And seeing how beautiful you are, it almost makes me want to dye my hair that color.”

Xu Mei said, “I wouldn’t. Yun Jiao has fair skin, a small face, and delicate features, so the color looks good on her. It would definitely look awful on me.”

Her skin was on the tanner side, a sun-kissed wheat color. She had to do chores back home, after all.

‘With my complexion, I can’t even imagine dyeing my hair a color like Yun Jiao’s.’

The four new friends chatted late into the night, only turning off the lights to sleep after the dorm supervisor hurried them along.

「The next morning,」 they woke up bright and early to queue for water to wash up.

Many people saw Yun Jiao that morning.

Her unique hair and eye color guaranteed she would be the center of attention wherever she went.

Then it was time for class.

By the end of the day, news of Yun Jiao had swept through the campus like a whirlwind.

Some people even made special trips to loiter outside her classroom or dorm, just to catch a glimpse of her.

“That must be her. She’s so beautiful in person.”

“I bet she even smells nice. Why are her hair and eyes blue? Is she mixed-race?”

‘But what ethnicity has blue hair and eyes like that?’

“How can anyone look like that? Why couldn’t *I* have been born looking like that!”

‘Beautiful. Just way too beautiful.’

Even in class, Yun Jiao’s classmates couldn’t help but steal glances at her from time to time.

She noticed, of course, but she was used to it.

‘As long as they aren’t bothering me, whatever. Let them look. It’s not like a few extra stares will make me any less beautiful.’

Yun Jiao had been at the university for barely half a month, but more than half the student body already knew who she was.

Of course, it wasn’t just because of her looks, but also her talent.

She was studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her professors praised her constantly.

Yun Jiao had a good temper. As long as no one provoked her with malicious intent, she was very mild-mannered.

Her classmates loved asking her for help when they were truly stuck, and she could answer almost every question they had.

And during acupuncture practice, while other students held their needles hesitantly, spending ages trying to locate and confirm the acupoints…

…she, on the other hand, was a blur of motion. Her needles moved like they had wings, and with a few swift movements—*zip, zip, zip*—they were precisely placed in the acupoints. It was dazzling to watch, and their admiration for her grew even deeper.

Whether it was taking a patient’s pulse or identifying medicinal herbs, she never made a single mistake. She could even discuss diagnoses with the professor on equal footing.
