After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 27: 027
“I’ll go back to my room and get my room card,” Jiang Xuenian said.
Shi Qingfan realized her misunderstanding. Thinking of her earlier obstruction, her ears burned. “Okay.”
By the time they finally got downstairs to eat, it was already 10:40 PM. The hotel’s restaurant was open 24 hours, providing complimentary meals to guests.
Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan ordered their preferred food and found a table by the window.
Shi Qingfan looked out the window after sitting down, her light brown eyes gleaming with a cool light. Sitting there in silence, she was the most beautiful sight in the restaurant.
People’s gazes in the restaurant always drifted over involuntarily, and Jiang Xuenian also received a wave of attention.
Jiang Xuenian rested her chin on her clasped hands, admiring Shi Qingfan’s stunning profile up close. “Class monitor, did you forget something?”
Shi Qingfan seemed to have forgotten her promise to praise her. Jiang Xuenian felt it was necessary to remind her.
Shi Qingfan turned her head upon hearing this. Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow over her eyes, and a hint of a smile flickered in her light brown pupils. “I already praised you.”
Jiang Xuenian was surprised. “No, when? Why do I have absolutely no memory of it?”
The smile in Shi Qingfan’s eyes deepened. Reflected in the overhead lights, the clear ice in her light brown eyes melted. “After we returned from the library, before you fell asleep.”
“Are you sure I wasn’t actually asleep?” Jiang Xuenian swore she didn’t remember a single word.
“You said my voice was too soft and you couldn’t hear it, so I said it again,” Shi Qingfan said, looking into Jiang Xuenian’s black eyes.
“I didn’t even hear it twice???!!!”
Jiang Xuenian looked as if she had lost the world.
That was Shi Qingfan’s praise!
Why did she forget it? She clearly wasn’t asleep then…
“Class monitor, do I have another chance to hear your praise?” Jiang Xuenian asked expectantly.
Shi Qingfan recalled those two embarrassing compliments and felt that she was truly not suited for such things. “I think not.”
Even though Jiang Xuenian was sincere and adorable when she praised her, Shi Qingfan felt inexplicably awkward when she praised others…
Fortunately, Jiang Xuenian was half-asleep and didn’t hear it then.
Jiang Xuenian: “…” What did I miss? This might be the only two times in her life she’d hear Shi Qingfan praise her.
Fortunately, food healed Jiang Xuenian’s pain. After a delicious dinner, Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan took the elevator back upstairs. The elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor, and as the doors slowly opened, sounds of arguing reached Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan’s ears.
The two exchanged glances and stepped out of the elevator. They saw a muscular man in front, clutching a hotel staff member by the collar, his face full of rage. “This is a five-star hotel! You don’t usually check rooms, but you let someone install a camera in the bedroom! I’m calling the police!”
Next to him, two other staff members were present; one kept saying “I’m sorry,” while the other told him to “be gentle, don’t strangle the manager.”
Jiang Xuenian’s heart jumped. From the conversation, the man had found a camera in his bedroom. She and Shi Qingfan also lived on this floor, so it was possible there was a camera in their bedroom as well.
“Class monitor, let’s go check our room too,” Jiang Xuenian said with a serious expression.
Shi Qingfan nodded.
The two returned to their room and each went to their own bedroom to check.
Jiang Xuenian finally found a pinhole camera in the TV cabinet opposite her bed. When she found it, the camera’s red light was on, clearly recording.
Jiang Xuenian immediately took out her phone and called the police, explaining the hotel name, location, and what had happened. After hanging up, she reported the situation in the city-wide league group chat.
Jiang Xuenian: I just found one in the TV cabinet.
Jiang Xuenian: Everyone, it’s best to check, especially the areas on both sides of the bed and opposite it.
Bai Yeyu: No way, does something like this happen even in a five-star hotel?
Cang Chen: It’s very likely an inside job by a hotel employee.
After expressing their shock, the group chat was silent for two minutes. Almost fifty percent of the students had found cameras in their rooms.
After calling Xu Jie, Jiang Xuenian suddenly remembered that Shi Qingfan had changed clothes in her bedroom not long ago, and her heart immediately seized up.
She quickly went to Shi Qingfan’s room to find her.
Shi Qingfan’s room door was open. Jiang Xuenian practically ran inside. “Is your room okay?!”
Shi Qingfan had just finished checking the bathroom and said, “I haven’t found anything yet, but whether there truly isn’t one will need the police to use professional tools to detect.”
Jiang Xuenian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the first sentence, but her heart sank again after the second.
“Let’s wait. The police should be here soon.”
The two went to the living room to wait. Jiang Xuenian took out her phone. The city-wide league group chat was in a panic. Everyone had returned to their bedrooms to rest after the competition, and most had showered. Some preferred to change in the bathroom, while others were accustomed to changing by the bed.
Jiang Xuenian: Don’t worry too much. The suspect probably hasn’t spread anything in such a short time. As long as the police catch him in time, everyone’s privacy can be protected from being leaked.
Shi Qingfan: Jiang Xuenian is right.
