After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 30: 030
Jiang Xuenian saw herself in the video, eyes half-closed, leaning against the headboard. Shi Qingfan sat beside her, gazing intently at the tip of her nose, and softly said, “Jiang Xuenian, you are too outstanding. During the competition, my eyes were only on you.”
Jiang Xuenian: “…” How could it be both embarrassing and so beautiful!
Jiang Xuenian’s cheeks felt hot. She paused the video, fanned herself with her hand, took a deep breath, and continued watching.
In the video, she, with a blank expression, told Shi Qingfan that she hadn’t heard and asked Shi Qingfan to say it again.
Jiang Xuenian really wanted to travel back in time. Then, she definitely wouldn’t be half-asleep and miss Shi Qingfan’s praise.
With Shi Qingfan’s personality, it was already excellent that she praised her once. How could she ask Shi Qingfan to praise her again? Shi Qingfan wouldn’t agree… would she???
Shi Qingfan’s exquisite face slowly approached her ear and she began, “When you were answering, you seemed like a different person. The light around you overshadowed everything else. Standing not far away, I could only see the dazzling you.”
She paused, as if shy, then Shi Qingfan shifted her gaze and added, “Jiang Xuenian, you are amazing.”
Jiang Xuenian: “!!!” She really did praise her!!!
Shi Qingfan said, “Jiang Xuenian, you are amazing.”
Jiang Xuenian’s heart began to beat wildly. From her earlobes to her face to her collarbones, her skin felt faintly hot.
“God, who can resist this…” Jiang Xuenian said, covering her face.
Shi Qingfan’s praise had the power of a nuclear bomb, causing a strong reaction in Jiang Xuenian’s heart.
Initially, she approached Shi Qingfan only because she wanted to get along with the female lead and avoid the miserable fate of being a villainous female supporting character in the future. Who knew that the deeper their interaction, the more she realized how wonderful Shi Qingfan was.
Shi Qingfan was outwardly aloof but inwardly very gentle, always thinking of others. She not only possessed a beauty that captivated Jiang Xuenian, a connoisseur of looks, but her personality was also adorable, constantly and unintentionally charming Jiang Xuenian.
Jiang Xuenian had never encountered someone who perfectly matched all her aesthetic preferences.
Now, Shi Qingfan had become her friend and seemed to admire her a lot, so she praised her very earnestly… Jiang Xuenian’s face grew hotter and hotter.
“Click!” The right door opened from the inside, and Shi Qingfan walked out. She saw Jiang Xuenian covering her face, a little surprised, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The video playing on the TV had just finished one cycle and was starting to loop for the second time.
“Jiang Xuenian, you are too outstanding. During the competition, my eyes were only on you.”
Shi Qingfan didn’t get Jiang Xuenian’s answer but heard her own voice coming from the TV, specifically the words she used to praise Jiang Xuenian yesterday.
Shi Qingfan quickly turned her head and saw herself and Jiang Xuenian on the television.
Shi Qingfan: “…”
Jiang Xuenian closed her eyes, clearing the images and sounds from her mind, forcefully cooling down her face. “My brother just gave me the USB drive with the videos from the pinhole camera, Class monitor. I didn’t expect you to be so good at praising people.”
Shi Qingfan’s light brown eyes flickered. Her usually calm voice had a slight tremor. “Linglang suggested I learn from you. I didn’t learn very well.” Listening again, she felt it wasn’t as sincere as Jiang Xuenian’s praise.
She had originally been glad Jiang Xuenian couldn’t see it, but then the pinhole camera incident happened.
Jiang Xuenian looked at the TV and said, “You praised me very well, and twice! You can’t imagine how happy I was when I heard it~”
“When you were answering, you seemed like a different person. The light around you overshadowed everything else. Standing not far away, I could only see the dazzling you.”
“Jiang Xuenian, you are amazing.”
The video finished playing Shi Qingfan’s second praise. Jiang Xuenian had intended to turn her head and talk to Shi Qingfan, but then realized the video hadn’t ended.
Just now, Jiang Xuenian was too busy feeling embarrassed that she hadn’t looked at what came next.
Now, she watched herself accidentally slip, and Shi Qingfan, unable to grab her, fell down with her, falling into… her arms???!!!
Jiang Xuenian watched this scene in shock. Shi Qingfan, standing nearby, naturally saw it too.
In a moment of desperation, Shi Qingfan walked over and covered Jiang Xuenian’s eyes with her hand. “Don’t look, it was an accident.”
Her tone was calm, but her eyes flickered with embarrassment and panic.
Would Jiang Xuenian misunderstand that she liked her?
What if Jiang Xuenian impulsively confessed to her?
Tomorrow was the final. If she rejected Jiang Xuenian’s confession, and Jiang Xuenian performed poorly, it would definitely cause discussion.
For a moment, Shi Qingfan thought of many things, even imagining what would happen if she accepted Jiang Xuenian’s confession.
She… didn’t seem to resist the idea of becoming Jiang Xuenian’s girlfriend.
After the initial surprise, Jiang Xuenian quickly regained her composure. She felt Shi Qingfan’s fingertips, trembling slightly, covering her eyes. She raised her right hand, pulled Shi Qingfan’s hand down, and used her left hand to find the remote control and turn off the TV.
“Class monitor, I…”
Shi Qingfan’s expression subtly changed. It was coming. Jiang Xuenian was about to confess.
Jiang Xuenian tried to comfort Shi Qingfan, but before she could finish, Shi Qingfan interrupted her. “Don’t say anything yet! I need to think about it.”
“?” Jiang Xuenian saw Shi Qingfan’s serious expression and nodded involuntarily. “Okay.”
Although she had no idea what Shi Qingfan needed to think about.
After Jiang Xuenian agreed, Shi Qingfan returned to her room. She took out her phone, wanting to tell Gong Linglang about the current situation, but remembering Gong Linglang disliked Jiang Xuenian, she hesitated and instead opened Tang Xiuran’s WeChat.
Shi Qingfan: Tangtang, are you there?
After about thirty seconds, Shi Qingfan received a reply.
Tang Xiuran: I’m here~
Shi Qingfan: I have something I’d like to ask your advice on.
Tang Xiuran: Tell me about it. I’ll try my best to help you~
Shi Qingfan briefly summarized what had happened, concluding with one sentence.
Shi Qingfan: Someone is about to confess to me, and I don’t know how to respond.
Tang Xiuran: [Surprised.jpg] What’s so hard about responding? Just reject them like you used to reject those persistent suitors.
When it came to rejecting confessions, among their four childhood friends, Shi Qingfan was the most experienced.
Tang Xiuran never expected Shi Qingfan to seek her advice on something like this.
Shi Qingfan: It’s not that simple. She’s a very good person, and I don’t want to lose her as a friend by rejecting her confession.
Tang Xiuran: ?
Tang Xiuran: Qingfan, you don’t actually like them, do you? [Serious.jpg]
Shi Qingfan’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately replied.
Shi Qingfan: I admit I have more goodwill towards her than others, but I really don’t want to date too early.
Tang Xiuran: So you want to reject them, but you don’t want to hurt their feelings, and you still want to be friends with them, right?
Shi Qingfan: Right. Do you have any ideas?
Tang Xiuran: That’s easy. That person hasn’t confessed to you yet; they’re just planning to. Before they confess, just casually hint that you’re absolutely not dating right now.
Tang Xiuran: If they truly like you, they’ll respect your decision. If they still insist on confessing, I think you might have misjudged them; they’re not as good as you think.
Shi Qingfan: Thank you, Tangtang. I’ll try this method as soon as possible.
Tang Xiuran: What’s with the politeness, dear~
In the living room, Jiang Xuenian unplugged the USB drive, stared at it for two seconds, and thought Jiang Yue was right; this video was indeed worth treasuring.
However, she would need to get Shi Qingfan’s permission first.
At 8:30 PM, Jiang Yue finally finished handling the pinhole camera matter. He called Jiang Xuenian and told her and Shi Qingfan to come down to the restaurant’s private room for dinner.
Jiang Xuenian was surprised. “There are private rooms?”
Jiang Yue said, “Premium users can use the private rooms.”
Jiang Xuenian: …
Okay then, she’d enjoy the privileges of the rich.
Jiang Xuenian hung up and knocked on Shi Qingfan’s door. Shi Qingfan opened it and, seeing Jiang Xuenian, felt a pang of nervousness.
Jiang Xuenian said, “Class monitor, my brother has finished dealing with things. He’s asking us to meet him at the restaurant for dinner.”
“Okay, I’ll change my clothes.”
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan arrived at the private room Jiang Yue had reserved.
Upon seeing the two, Jiang Yue’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, motioning for them to sit across from him.
“Miss Shi, my sister can be a bit mischievous. Thank you for looking after her at school.”
Because Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan were still students, Jiang Yue raised a cup of tea. “Tea instead of wine.”
Shi Qingfan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, “Jiang… Xuenian is very excellent and not mischievous at all. All the classmates like her very much, so I don’t need to particularly look after her. You’re too kind.”
Jiang Yue smiled and glanced at Jiang Xuenian, a mischievous look in his eyes. “All the classmates like you very much, huh~”
Jiang Xuenian: “…” What are you imagining, big brother?
“Because I’m friendly to my classmates, everyone treats me as a good friend. Right, Class monitor?” Jiang Xuenian said to Shi Qingfan.
Shi Qingfan nodded. “Right.”
Jiang Yue watched his sister and her girlfriend speaking in unison and almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.
However, young girls had strong self-esteem, so he had to hold back. His teasing couldn’t be too obvious, or he might upset Shi Qingfan, and then Niannian would probably be angry with him.
“I really envy you two. It’s so nice at school,” Jiang Yue suddenly said.
Jiang Xuenian was rather speechless: “Are you showing off that you skipped grades and left school early?”
Jiang Yue looked wronged: “Of course not! I mean, I envy how relaxed and free you are, how you can date if you want. Unlike me, I’m busy with all kinds of training every day, like a dog, and I have no time for myself.”
Shi Qingfan heard the words “date” and couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Xuenian.
She thought this might be the perfect time to subtly decline Jiang Xuenian’s potential confession.
“We’re usually very busy with our studies and various school activities, so it’s not as easy as you imagine. Moreover, we’re too young right now, not mature enough, and not capable of taking responsibility for our partners. I believe dating is something best done a few years later. Right now, we both just want to focus on our studies.”
“Right?” Shi Qingfan asked Jiang Xuenian.
Jiang Xuenian was surprised that Shi Qingfan’s thoughts were exactly the same as hers and nodded. “Class monitor is right.”
Shi Qingfan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Jiang Xuenian’s reply.
Completely agreeing with her point of view, did that mean Jiang Xuenian really liked her?
