After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 26: 026
Shi Qingfan immediately propped herself up and stood. Jiang Xuenian’s eyes were only half open when the weight on her body disappeared. Drowsiness surged back, and her heavy eyelids closed, plunging her back into deep sleep.
Shi Qingfan’s expression was normal, but her heart was pounding almost out of her chest, the “thump-thump-thump” sound assaulting her eardrums.
Fortunately, she hadn’t been discovered by Jiang Xuenian.
Shi Qingfan tucked Jiang Xuenian in, then turned and returned to her own room to rest.
Jiang Xuenian slept exceptionally soundly. When she woke up, the sky outside the French windows was dim, with distant lights illuminating the night.
Sitting up in bed, Jiang Xuenian felt soft all over. She blinked, yawned, and her black eyes, washed clean by tears, were bright and luminous.
She lazily got out of bed, fumbled for the bedside lamp, and turned it on. She glanced at the clock on the wall: 10:22 PM.
She had actually slept for four or five hours.
Jiang Xuenian took a shower. While showering, she noticed the skin on her hip bone was a bit red and hurt slightly to the touch, clearly bruised.
But strangely, she couldn’t remember when she had bumped it.
After showering and drying her hair, Jiang Xuenian left her room, passed a small living room, and knocked on Shi Qingfan’s door.
Jiang Xuenian waited for a moment. The door opened from inside. Shi Qingfan’s waist-length hair was a little disheveled, and her cold eyes held a faint misty sheen. She was wearing neat, light red plaid pajamas.
Jiang Xuenian noticed a strand of her long hair draped over her shoulder and stretching forward. She couldn’t resist reaching out to tuck it back behind her shoulder.
Shi Qingfan made no obvious evasive moves. Once Jiang Xuenian had finished tidying her hair, she asked, “Are you hungry?”
After covering Jiang Xuenian with the blanket, Shi Qingfan had returned to her room, read for a while, and, feeling that Jiang Xuenian wouldn’t wake up too soon, she took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and went to sleep.
Jiang Xuenian nodded. “Shall we go downstairs to eat?”
“Okay, come in and wait for me.” Shi Qingfan pulled the door open, letting Jiang Xuenian in, then turned to her wardrobe to get clothes to change into.
Shi Qingfan’s room layout was similar to Jiang Xuenian’s. Jiang Xuenian watched Shi Qingfan stand in front of the wardrobe, choose her clothes, and take off her pajamas.
Jiang Xuenian: “???”
Jiang Xuenian was startled and quickly lowered her head, but Shi Qingfan’s back involuntarily flashed in her mind.
Lean but not frail, thin muscles covered slender bones. Her shoulder blades subtly protruded when she moved, like butterflies poised for flight. Looking further down, her waist was astonishingly thin; Jiang Xuenian felt she could circle it with one hand…
Jiang Xuenian’s ears felt a little hot. After much wild thought, Shi Qingfan finally finished changing.
“Let’s go,” Shi Qingfan said, walking up to Jiang Xuenian.
“Okay.” Jiang Xuenian wanted to look at Shi Qingfan but dared not, feeling that looking too much would make her lose control.
After all, she was attracted to beauty, and Shi Qingfan was simply so perfect.
Jiang Xuenian stood up, turned, and walked out. Entering the living room, she should have turned to exit the room, but Jiang Xuenian walked straight towards her own bedroom.
“Jiang Xuenian, you’re going the wrong way!” Shi Qingfan reached out to grab Jiang Xuenian’s sleeve, and Jiang Xuenian subconsciously dodged.
Just then, they were about to cross a five-centimeter high doorframe. Shi Qingfan didn’t watch her step, stumbled, lost her balance, and almost fell.
Fortunately, Jiang Xuenian heard the sound and turned back in time, supporting Shi Qingfan’s waist. Jiang Xuenian, lacking enough strength, was carried forward a few staggering steps by Shi Qingfan, but luckily, Shi Qingfan’s back hit a wall, preventing both of them from falling.
“Are you alright?” Shi Qingfan quickly asked.
Her back hadn’t actually hit the wall just now, because Jiang Xuenian’s arm had cushioned her, absorbing most of the impact.
Jiang Xuenian’s arm had been sore and numb for a moment. Now that she had recovered, she realized how close she was to Shi Qingfan—close enough to see Shi Qingfan’s long, individual eyelashes clearly.
Taking her aching arm off Shi Qingfan’s waist, Jiang Xuenian shook it. “It’s nothing serious.”
After shaking it twice, her movements slowed.
She had just… seemingly put her arm around Shi Qingfan’s waist?
What did it feel like?
Soft and resilient like a vine, slender like a willow branch. The main point was that she really could wrap one arm around it!
“Ahem, shall we go?” Jiang Xuenian said, pretending nothing had happened.
“…We can.” Shi Qingfan was fully awake now, her cheeks slightly flushed from surprise.
Recalling how she had changed clothes in front of Jiang Xuenian in the room just now, Shi Qingfan desperately wished time could rewind.
She always had a small, unchangeable problem: she would be a little disoriented right after waking up. Even if her outward actions and expressions seemed normal, she would still do irrational things—like changing clothes in front of Jiang Xuenian…
Shi Qingfan had always shared a dorm with Gong Linglang before. With Gong Linglang around, she wasn’t afraid of anything going wrong. She hadn’t expected that living out, she would unintentionally do something so audacious.
Connecting it with what Gong Linglang said about Jiang Xuenian liking her… How would you feel if the person you like openly changed clothes in front of you, without any avoidance?
What would Jiang Xuenian think?
Shi Qingfan felt a slight panic. What if Jiang Xuenian thought she did it on purpose?
