After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 29: 029

Shi Qingfan looked at Jiang Xuenian for a few seconds. Seeing no impurity in her dark eyes, she thought for a moment, figuring Jiang Xuenian was just genuinely worried about her. She said, “Okay.”

Jiang Xuenian went to her room to get her bedding. Luckily, the bed in the room was large enough for both of them to spread their bedding, with still enough space in the middle for another person.

It was already past eleven. Jiang Xuenian returned to her room, washed up, changed into her pajamas, and then came to Shi Qingfan’s room to rest.

Shi Qingfan was sitting up in bed, holding a book and reading.

Although it was Jiang Xuenian’s first time sleeping with Shi Qingfan, she wasn’t shy at all, acting as if she were in her own room.

“Class monitor, get some rest. There’s still a competition tomorrow,” Jiang Xuenian walked over and gently took the book from Shi Qingfan’s hand.

Shi Qingfan’s gaze followed the book to the bedside table, avoiding eye contact with Jiang Xuenian.

Although she had agreed to let Jiang Xuenian rest in her room, the thought of Jiang Xuenian liking her made Shi Qingfan a little nervous.

She hadn’t decided whether to reciprocate yet and was afraid Jiang Xuenian might misunderstand.

Jiang Xuenian put the book down, went to her side of the bed, got in, and pulled the blanket over herself. She yawned, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and said to Shi Qingfan, “Good night, Class monitor.”

“Good night.” Shi Qingfan watched Jiang Xuenian close her eyes. In less than five seconds, she had already fallen asleep, her breathing becoming even.

Jiang Xuenian’s fair skin was bathed in a soft yellow glow from the bedside lamp. Her eyelashes fluttered with her breathing as she slept sweetly.

Shi Qingfan raised a hand to her rapidly beating heart.

“Tick!” Her phone, placed nearby, suddenly vibrated.

Shi Qingfan feared disturbing Jiang Xuenian’s rest, so she picked it up, silenced it, and then checked the message.

Gong Linglang: [Image]!!!! You’re having a candlelight dinner with Jiang Xuenian????

Shi Qingfan opened the image and found it was a photo of her and Jiang Xuenian taken while they were eating in the downstairs restaurant.

In the picture, she was looking out at the neon lights outside the window, her eyes reflecting the glow, while Jiang Xuenian was intently looking at her…

Shi Qingfan saw the obvious adoration in Jiang Xuenian’s dark eyes and was slightly stunned.

Had Jiang Xuenian’s affection for her grown to this extent?

Gong Linglang didn’t receive a reply from Shi Qingfan for a long time, so she simply called via video.

Shi Qingfan pressed the red button to decline.

Shi Qingfan: I saw it.

Gong Linglang: Why did you hang up? You never used to hang up when I video-called you [suspicious.jpg]

Shi Qingfan’s fingertip trembled. She quickly thought of a reasonable excuse.

Shi Qingfan: It’s inconvenient. I’m about to go to sleep and am changing into my pajamas.

Gong Linglang: Really? [suspicious.jpg]

Shi Qingfan: Mm. By the way, where did you see the photo?

Shi Qingfan’s change of subject was very effective; Gong Linglang immediately shifted her attention.

Gong Linglang: On Weibo, of course! Every time you leave school and get photographed, you trend. This time, Jiang Xuenian got lucky and even trended as a couple with you [huffing.jpg]. I tried hard to explain that you’re just ordinary classmates, but nobody listened. A bunch of people were shouting “shipping them to death.”

Gong Linglang: Oh, right, when you get back, there’s a little surprise for you~

Shi Qingfan wasn’t very curious. Anyway, she would find out what the surprise was in a couple of days when she returned to school.

Shi Qingfan: Okay.

Gong Linglang: You should go to sleep quickly. You have a competition tomorrow.

Shi Qingfan: Why aren’t you asking about the competition results?

Gong Linglang: Why ask?? With you there, you’re definitely going to win! I just don’t know if Jiang Xuenian was a hindrance.

Shi Qingfan: No, she’s very strong.

Gong Linglang: Really…?

Shi Qingfan said seriously: You’ll know when you get back.

Every year, the city-wide league records every match. After the competition, the recordings are distributed to various schools for students to watch.

Jiang Xuenian slept exceptionally well that night. When she woke up in the morning and opened her eyes, she found a soft person beside her, and she was hugging them.

Jiang Xuenian was startled and quickly pulled her hand back. She sat up and took a moment to compose herself before remembering that she had slept in Shi Qingfan’s room, which meant she had been hugging Shi Qingfan while sleeping???

Jiang Xuenian got out of bed and lightly hit her disobedient hand.

It was true that she was drawn to Shi Qingfan’s beauty, but she had no intention of acting inappropriately towards her.

Moreover, she was the one who had suggested sleeping with Shi Qingfan last night. Jiang Xuenian didn’t dare to imagine what Shi Qingfan would think if she had woken up first and found herself being hugged.

Jiang Xuenian checked the time; it was only seven o’clock. There was no point trying to go back to sleep, so she simply returned to her room to take a shower.

After showering and drying her hair, Jiang Xuenian changed her clothes. It was already 7:40 AM.

“Knock, knock, knock!” Three knocks sounded at the door. Jiang Xuenian went to open it. Outside, Shi Qingfan saw Jiang Xuenian and asked, “I thought you had disappeared.”

Jiang Xuenian said, “I woke up too early. I saw you were still asleep, so I went back to my room to tidy up.”

“Mm.” Shi Qingfan said, then turned and returned to her own room.

She came and went like the wind.

Jiang Xuenian watched Shi Qingfan’s retreating back and realized that she always made some impulsive moves right after waking up. For instance, changing clothes in front of her yesterday, and today, directly coming to ask and then leaving immediately after.

If it were the usual Shi Qingfan, no matter how worried she was, she wouldn’t ask so directly.

It was… strangely adorable.

The second day’s competition also went smoothly. Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan, along with Meng Baichun, dominated the field. In the end, St. Lyceum Academy and Bin City First Academy advanced to the finals.

Before leaving the library, Rong Ling suddenly walked up to Jiang Xuenian and stopped her.

Jiang Xuenian subconsciously looked at Shi Qingfan, while Shi Qingfan looked at Rong Ling.

Jiang Xuenian: …

What was going on? Was Rong Ling treating her as a love rival and about to declare war? But she and Shi Qingfan hadn’t had any ambiguous interactions.

Watching Rong Ling’s face turn redder and redder as he struggled to utter a single word, Jiang Xuenian had to ask proactively, “May I help you?”

Rong Ling stared into Jiang Xuenian’s eyes and said, “I will compete with you again. This time, I might not lose.”

That’s it??? That’s enough to make him blush with anger???

Jiang Xuenian: “Keep up the good work. The most important thing in competition is to stay calm.”

After encouraging Rong Ling, Jiang Xuenian turned and continued walking with Shi Qingfan.

Fortunately, Rong Ling didn’t follow. Jiang Xuenian whispered to Shi Qingfan, “In the future, don’t ever pick someone like Rong Ling as your partner.”

Shi Qingfan didn’t expect Jiang Xuenian to say this. She paused, then asked, “Why?”

Jiang Xuenian said, “He doesn’t seem mature enough. He blushes at the drop of a hat.”

Shi Qingfan: “…Didn’t you notice why he was blushing?”

Jiang Xuenian said, “He was mad, of course.” After losing to her, he got red in the face and neck every time they met. He was too petty.

Shi Qingfan couldn’t help but curve her lips. “Mm, I understand.”

Shi Qingfan and Rong Ling were classmates in elementary school, and their parents knew each other. They occasionally played together when they were young.

Rong Ling had no other faults; he simply admired strength.

When Shi Qingfan hadn’t yet shown her genius side, Rong Ling liked a senior student at their school. Later, Rong Ling won a competition against that senior, and he immediately stopped liking her.

Every time Rong Ling liked someone, he would share it with Shi Qingfan. Shi Qingfan had become accustomed to his “fickleness.” Unexpectedly, the two later met in the city-wide league. Shi Qingfan won against Rong Ling, and Rong Ling immediately gave up on his secret crush on the junior student and turned his affection towards Shi Qingfan.

Shi Qingfan, knowing Rong Ling’s true nature, never took it seriously. Anyway, as long as someone else won against him in a competition, he would quickly fall for someone else.

Yesterday, Jiang Xuenian won against Rong Ling, and now Rong Ling blushes every time he sees Jiang Xuenian.

After the competition yesterday, Rong Ling even pulled her aside and asked about Jiang Xuenian for a long time.

Rong Ling’s affection for Jiang Xuenian was the most obvious he had ever shown. Shi Qingfan initially thought Jiang Xuenian would notice, but she didn’t expect Jiang Xuenian to think Rong Ling’s blushing in her presence was due to anger.

Shi Qingfan thought about it carefully and decided that Jiang Xuenian’s misunderstanding was fine. After all, Rong Ling’s crush would last at most a month; as soon as someone won against him, he would quickly transfer his affection.

Jiang Xuenian seemed to dislike Rong Ling a lot, so there was no need to let Jiang Xuenian know and add to her troubles.

On the bus back to the hotel, Xu Jie received a call. After hanging up, she told Jiang Xuenian and the other two, “The hotel owner reportedly knows people in the military district. Now, the police and personnel from the military district are investigating the case together. The military district’s methods are far more powerful than the police’s. The suspect should pray for mercy.”

When Xu Jie mentioned the military district, Jiang Xuenian’s first thought was Jiang Yue.

From the library to the hotel, the journey was only about twenty minutes. Upon arriving at the hotel and getting off the bus, Xu Jie received another call.

After taking this call, Xu Jie visibly relaxed. She smiled at Jiang Xuenian and the other two. “The suspect has been apprehended!”

“That fast?” Meng Baichun asked in surprise. “Didn’t the military personnel just arrive?”

Xu Jie said, “That’s the military district’s swift and decisive action.”

Taking the elevator to the thirteenth floor, as they approached their room door, Jiang Xuenian saw a familiar figure.

“Brother? What are you doing here?” After her initial surprise, Jiang Xuenian quickly walked over.

Jiang Yue was even taller than when they last met, his handsome face sharply chiseled. His black eyes, similar to Jiang Xuenian’s, quickly scanned Shi Qingfan behind Jiang Xuenian, a teasing smile flickering in them. “I came to see if my sister was seriously competing, or if her mind was elsewhere due to something else.”

Jiang Yue was implying that Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan neglected the competition because they were dating, but Jiang Xuenian thought he was referring to the camera incident.

“Let’s go inside and talk,” Jiang Xuenian opened the door with her room card, and the three walked in.

Jiang Yue found a single sofa and sat down. Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan could only sit on the double sofa opposite him.

Jiang Xuenian introduced Shi Qingfan: “This is my brother, Jiang Yue. I told you about him last time; we’re fraternal twins.”

“Brother, this is my friend, Shi Qingfan.”

Jiang Yue treated his sister’s girlfriend with great respect. He specifically stood up and shook Shi Qingfan’s hand. “I often hear Niannian mention you. I didn’t expect you to be even more outstanding than her description.”

“Brother, why are you here? Could it be that you’re the military bigshot the hotel owner called, the one who caught the suspect in twenty minutes?”

Jiang Yue immediately adopted a serious expression. “This incident is very serious. The people staying in this hotel are either rich or powerful. The camera issue must be resolved as quickly as possible to prevent information from spreading.”

“You two are lucky; the secretly filmed videos haven’t had a chance to leak yet. The cameras were installed a week ago. Several wealthy businessmen had explicit videos of them filmed and uploaded to offshore websites for viewing. The police are now working quickly to delete the online resources.”

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, he told them to relax. “We will give you the videos to destroy yourselves; there will definitely be no leakage.”

Jiang Yue stood up and said, “I’m returning to the military district tomorrow morning. Let’s have dinner together later.”

He glanced at Jiang Xuenian. “Niannian, come see me off.”

Jiang Xuenian realized Jiang Yue wanted to talk to her privately. She walked him to the door. “Brother, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Yue took a USB drive from his pants pocket and handed it to her. “This is the video from your room. I retrieved it in advance. You can destroy it after watching… or you can keep it as a treasure.”

Jiang Xuenian took it. “Treasure? You’ve watched it? I don’t remember anything happening.”

Jiang Yue’s face actually turned a little red. “Ahem, I just roughly skimmed through it at five times speed. You can watch it yourself and then decide.”

He truly hadn’t expected two young girls in a relationship to be so open. The seemingly cold Shi Qingfan actually threw herself into Jiang Xuenian’s arms.

After saying his ambiguous words, Jiang Yue left. Jiang Xuenian returned to her room, feeling confused.

Shi Qingfan wasn’t in the living room; she had probably gone back to her own room.

Jiang Xuenian plugged the USB drive into the living room’s TV, turned it on, used the remote control to find the USB drive, clicked on it, and selected the only file to play.
