Chapter 15: Tanwan Blue… Ahem, I Mean!
“This is where I’m living now.”
Standing in front of a small residential building in the city’s urban village, Su Li looked up at the place she currently called home.
It wasn’t the exact same building as the one Shen Qingxia had just pointed to, but they were right across from each other—barely a few meters apart.
According to Shen Qingxia, she lived on the fifth floor too.
Just like Su Li.
Su Li stood there, utterly speechless on the inside. She had this creeping feeling that the moment she opened her window, she’d find Shen Qingxia’s eyes already there, staring at her from across the gap.
Still, none of that showed on her face. She gave an appropriate look of surprise and said, “Oh? You live here? I must’ve been overthinking things, then.”
“It’s nothing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back first.”
“Mmm.”
With that, Shen Qingxia pulled out her keys and stepped into her building. As she climbed the stairs, her expression shifted subtly into a frown.
Something was off about Su Li.
It wasn’t just her behavior just now. From everything Shen Qingxia had observed lately, there were little things that didn’t quite match up—things that felt different from the Su Li she’d known before.
Could it be… that Su Li hadn’t been reborn?
That possibility couldn’t be ruled out. But in the end, it didn’t matter. Whether she was Su Li or Su Li from the past, she was Shen Qingxia’s goal.
And this time, Shen Qingxia wouldn’t let her go.
No matter what it took.
A dangerous glint flickered in Shen Qingxia’s eyes.

At the same moment, Su Li was standing at her own front door, keys in hand, when she suddenly felt a chill crawl down her spine. It was that unmistakable sense—like something dangerous was watching her.
She glanced around warily.
…Nothing.
Whatever, she thought. Let’s just go in and get some rest.
As a teacher, she had to be back at school by 2 PM. That left her a little over an hour to unwind.
And for Su Li, rest meant games or anime.
Booting up her computer, she eagerly began searching for a game she’d sunk years into before her reincarnation.
She had a plan. Put in a little money upfront, then use her knowledge and skills to make money from the game. Just enough to live a little more comfortably.
Because let’s be honest—she was not going to be one of those “reborn protagonists” who used their memories to build empires, marry heiresses, and ride a rocket to the top of society.
No, thank you.
She just wanted to avoid becoming someone’s live target.
“Found it! Tanwan Blue— blegh! I mean, ‘Era’!”
《Era》
That was the game she’d played for over four years before she reincarnated. It had a solid player base and good quality—still alive and well even after all this time.
A full-on Western fantasy RPG. Su Li had spent quite a bit of money on it back then. Now? It was her turn to make some money back.
Unfortunately, one glance at the download speed made her sigh.
At this rate, it won’t be ready until tomorrow…
Big game. Slow internet. The eternal tragedy.

“Yaaaawn~”
In the teacher’s office, Su Li put down her textbook and stretched with a lazy yawn. She didn’t have any afternoon classes, so she was using the time for lesson planning.
Things seemed relaxed now, sure—but once the semester got into full swing, it’d be chaos. Besides prepping lessons, there’d be exercises to design, homework to assign and grade…
Thank goodness she wasn’t a homeroom teacher.
If she were, she’d have to handle all the class affairs too. Just the thought made her feel like curling into a ball.
Still, even now, she had to stay late today. After dinner, she’d need to come back for evening self-study supervision, which meant teacher night duty.
Newbie or not, Su Li was on the list. Tonight, she’d be paired with Li Yitong, but later on, she’d have to handle night shifts alone.
Su Li groaned internally at the thought. Thankfully, out of the five weekdays (Excluding weekends), there were only two or three nights she’d be on duty.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice:
“Su Li, don’t forget, we’re on duty together tonight~”
Su Li nodded lightly, then tilted her head curiously. “Miss Li, what’s night duty like anyway?”
“You’ll find out tonight. Oh—and aren’t you forgetting something?”
“Huh?”
Su Li blinked, looking completely lost.
That dumbfounded expression of hers made you want to shake her senseless.
“So sad… You promised me at lunch that you’d call me by my name. And now look, you already forgot.”
“S-sorry! It just slipped out. Habit, you know?” Su Li replied quickly, like she’d genuinely been flustered by Li Yitong’s over-the-top dramatics.
The truth?
She’d done it on purpose.
If she too easily called Li Yitong by name, wouldn’t that just make her look more suspicious—as if she already knew her from before?
Better to mess up a few times, stammer a little, and then slowly get used to it over time. That was the plan.
As they spoke, the school bell rang again.
Li Yitong asked casually, “Heading back now?”
“Yeah, I’ll go home, eat, take a shower, then come back. Evening study starts at 7:30 and ends at 10, right?”
“Yup. Don’t be late.”
Watching Li Yitong walk away, Su Li let out a long breath.
Whew… She’d half-expected Li Yitong to invite her to dinner.
Guess she was just overthinking.
Su Li gathered her things and strolled out the school gate, about to head home—when she felt a light tap on her shoulder.
She turned around reflexively, and there was Ling Luo, grinning at her.
“Wahaha~ I think fate really likes us, Su Li—no! I should say, Miss Su.”
“J-just call me Su Li. You’re off work already?”
“Yup! Had an interview today. Do you know what it’s like to stand in line from morning until just now? Pure torture! I’m starving. Oh, right—why don’t you come eat at my place tonight? I’ll cook! It’ll be super tasty!”
