After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 31: 031

Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan both said they didn’t want to fall in love too early. Jiang Yue didn’t take it seriously at all, thinking they just wanted to have a secret relationship and weren’t ready to tell their family.

Since that was the case, as their brother, he would help them keep it a secret.

He would tell everyone else after the two of them differentiated, and he could even arrange their engagement then~

Perfect.

At this moment, Jiang Xuenian had no idea what her class monitor and brother were imagining.

On the third day, the city-wide league finals.

Meng Baichun asked, “Is the competition order still the same today?”

Shi Qingfan glanced at Rong Ling, who was staring at Jiang Xuenian.

Jiang Xuenian already had someone she liked, so it was better not to let her win against Rong Ling twice, to prevent Rong Ling from falling deeper.

“Class monitor?” Jiang Xuenian called out when Shi Qingfan didn’t answer.

Shi Qingfan snapped out of her thoughts and said, “No, today, Xuenian and I will switch places.”

Meng Baichun saw no problem with this. Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan were both geniuses; the order made no difference to them. “Okay, I’ll submit it.”

Jiang Xuenian, however, felt her heart race a little because Shi Qingfan had called her by her first name.

St. Lyceum Academy’s competition order changed, but Bin City First Academy’s did not.

When Jiang Xuenian was announced as the first to compete, others didn’t think much of it, but only Rong Ling’s eyes held surprise.

During Jiang Xuenian’s match, Rong Ling was restless. He walked to St. Lyceum Academy’s seating area and found Shi Qingfan.

“Qingfan, why did your competition order change?” Rong Ling didn’t want to believe that it had nothing to do with Shi Qingfan, because only Shi Qingfan knew he liked Jiang Xuenian.

Shi Qingfan didn’t lie to Rong Ling: “I changed it proactively.”

“Why?” Rong Ling was a bit agitated, his voice rising several octaves.

Meng Baichun came over, worried, and asked Shi Qingfan, “Are you alright?”

Shi Qingfan said, “I’m fine. He’s just a little agitated. He won’t do anything to me.”

Meng Baichun walked a short distance away and kept an eye on Rong Ling.

Now that Jiang Xuenian was bringing glory to the school, she had to make sure to look after her girlfriend.

Shi Qingfan felt no need to lie and spoke truthfully: “Actually, I just found out Jiang Xuenian likes me. You’re my friend, and I don’t want to get involved in this kind of love triangle with you.”

Rong Ling froze for a moment, frowning slightly, but showed no surprise. “You’re so perfect; it’s normal for her to like you. Sigh, I finally found Jiang Xuenian to distract me and stop liking *that person*… never mind.”

Rong Ling reluctantly glanced at the confident and shining Jiang Xuenian on stage. “Since it’s someone you like, I won’t get involved with you two.”

“No, I didn’t…”

Rong Ling laughed, “Don’t explain. Don’t you think I know you after all these years? If you didn’t like Jiang Xuenian, would you care if someone else liked her?”

“I admit I have some goodwill towards her,”

“Acknowledging it is enough. It’s not easy to gain your goodwill. Others take years; she probably took less than a year, right? That’s the difference.”

It was more than just less than a year; it had only been a little over a month since Jiang Xuenian lost her memory.

Shi Qingfan, reminded by Rong Ling, suddenly realized how special Jiang Xuenian was to her.

Rong Ling pouted, “I recently fell for someone, a player who’s juggling three relationships. Of course, I haven’t confessed yet, so I’m not one of the three. I originally wanted to use Jiang Xuenian to forget him, but I didn’t expect Jiang Xuenian to already be taken.”

Shi Qingfan ignored the “already taken” remark and frowned, “Do you want to see a psychologist? You can’t just like someone because they study better than you, even if you know they’re a scumbag.”

Rong Ling said, “Let’s talk about it later. Our school’s study schedule is too tight. Twenty worksheets a day is considered few. Morning self-study starts at 6:30, and evening self-study ends at 10:30. Taking leave requires contacting parents and having them sign at school, and you don’t make up for any missed classes. You know how much my parents value my studies; taking a day off is like asking for their lives.”

“Sometimes I wonder if my problem is related to them. They want me to be number one, but I prefer people who can defeat me.”

“Sigh, never mind, it’s boring to talk about it too much. Every family has its own difficulties. Your family has had a lot of messy things happen since your aunt passed away and your uncle remarried. I’m going to prepare for the competition. See you on the field later, or maybe I’ll like you again after you win against me.”

Seeing Shi Qingfan’s slightly stiff expression, Rong Ling burst out laughing. “I’m not kidding with you. I admire strength with principles, okay? I definitely don’t go back to old flames or like people my friends like.”

With Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan present, the final outcome was never in doubt. St. Lyceum Academy ultimately won first place. After the three went on stage to receive their awards, Shi Qingfan was enveloped in an aura of frost, and no one dared to disturb her. The approachable Jiang Xuenian was instantly surrounded, with several people asking for photos with her.

Xu Jie had a rough idea of the results before she arrived. At this moment, she smiled shyly at the Bin City First Academy’s team leader. “Oh, no, you’re too kind. It’s not much of our teachers’ credit; the students themselves are excellent.”

“Director Xu, you’re too modest.” The team leader from Bin City First Academy was used to it. Every time they reached the finals, it was always these two schools, and Bin City First Academy always lost to St. Lyceum Academy.

They had thought they could win this time since the competition content leaned towards liberal arts, but who knew that a Jiang Xuenian would suddenly emerge from St. Lyceum Academy, stealing all the limelight in the competition.

On the way back to the hotel, Xu Jie, beaming, said, “The latest we can return to school is tomorrow afternoon. Before we go back, I must properly reward our heroes. Rest well for a bit, and there’s a surprise tonight.”

At 9:00 PM, Jiang Xuenian, Shi Qingfan, and Meng Baichun waited for Xu Jie in the hotel lobby downstairs.

Xu Jie’s usually pinned-up long hair was loose, making her seem much gentler. She walked over smiling and said, “We can just walk there; it’s not far.”

Xu Jie didn’t say where they were going, and Jiang Xuenian didn’t ask either.

As their team leader, Xu Jie was directly responsible for their safety, so she wouldn’t intentionally lead them to a dangerous place.

After leaving the hotel, they walked along the main road for about ten minutes. Seeing the surrounding lights diminish, Xu Jie turned a corner and led them into a dimly lit alley.

Meng Baichun looked at the dim, flickering neon lights ahead, like will-o’-the-wisps, and couldn’t help but swallow nervously. “Director Xu, where exactly are we going? Why are we getting further off track?”

Xu Jie pointed to the neon lights ahead and said, “Not far now. There it is. You’ll know exactly what it is when we get there.”

Jiang Xuenian patted Meng Baichun’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. With our incredibly capable class monitor, you won’t be in danger.”

“Right, Class monitor?” Jiang Xuenian turned her head and met Shi Qingfan’s gaze in the darkness.

“Right,” Shi Qingfan said.

Meng Baichun: “…”

If something happened, your class monitor would definitely save you first, not me T_T.

Nevertheless, Meng Baichun felt much more at ease.

The four arrived under the neon sign. Jiang Xuenian looked up and read the characters on the sign: “Xia-Qiu (Summer-Autumn).”

With such a sign and name, Jiang Xuenian quickly realized what kind of place this was.

“Director Xu, you brought us to a bar?”

Jiang Xuenian had never realized that Xu Jie had such an eccentric style as to bring students to a bar.

“A bar?!” Meng Baichun, being a good student, immediately frowned and waved her hands. “I’m not going to a bar! Director Xu, I’ll just go back to the hotel!”

Xu Jie said, “Go back to what hotel? This is a bar, yes, but it’s a quiet bar, a place for people to relax. It has more than just alcohol; there are other non-alcoholic drinks too. Don’t worry, I know the owner here; it’s very clean inside. I’m not tired of St. Lyceus Academy; why would I take you to an inappropriate place for minors?”

Meng Baichun subconsciously looked at Jiang Xuenian. Jiang Xuenian said, “There are indeed such quiet bars as Director Xu described.”

Meng Baichun relaxed. “That’s good. My parents strictly forbid me from drinking before my differentiation, saying it would affect the results.”

“Even if you wanted to drink, I wouldn’t allow it. Let’s go, go in and relax, eat and drink whatever you want. Consider it my reward to you.”

Xu Jie led the three inside. After the front desk confirmed there were four of them, they quickly arranged a table and had a waiter lead them to their seats.

Passing through a glass door was truly entering the main area.

Soft music played in the bar, and a singer was performing on the large circular stage in the center, their deep, husky voice pleasant to the ear.

Artificial white mist rose from the floor, and light blue beams descended from the ceiling, as if they had entered a fairyland.

People sat in small groups at their tables, drinking. Some were playing small table games, and around the circular stage, some people swayed slowly to the music, dancing.

Meng Baichun, visiting such a place for the first time, widened her eyes and looked around curiously.

Shi Qingfan also discreetly scanned her surroundings.

Jiang Xuenian, after getting off work in the real world, loved coming to places like this for a drink to enjoy the feeling of being slightly tipsy and relax. At this moment, looking at the rows of drinks behind the bar, she felt a strong urge.

But remembering that she was still a student and had Xu Jie watching her, she quickly abandoned the idea.

The four were led to their seats by a waiter, settling onto a semi-circular red sofa.

Xu Jie handed the menu to Meng Baichun. “You can order anything except alcohol.”

Meng Baichun took it. She was about to look at it with Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan, but when she turned her head, she saw Jiang Xuenian leaning close to Shi Qingfan’s ear, talking to her. She instantly gave up on that idea.

They were dating; she shouldn’t interfere.

Meng Baichun chose a few snacks and ordered a mango juice, then passed the menu to Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan. “I’m done ordering. You two order now.”

Jiang Xuenian ordered a strawberry juice and a small cake. Shi Qingfan ordered blueberry juice.

After the menu was passed back to Xu Jie, Xu Jie said, “I said I’m treating, why did you only order so little?”

She then ordered two fruit platters and a pile of snacks.

Finally, she ordered a low-alcohol special cocktail for herself, “Red Autumn Leaf.”

After ordering the drinks, Xu Jie said, “Don’t run around here. I’m just going to the restroom and will be right back.”

Not long after Xu Jie left, their orders gradually arrived. After the fruit platters and snacks were served, the waiter bent down to place a glass of yellow mango juice in front of Meng Baichun. As he straightened up, he gasped, a faint pained expression on his face.

There was also a blue and a red juice on the tray. “I’ll take these.” Jiang Xuenian stood up, took the tray, and placed the drinks in front of herself and Shi Qingfan.

The waiter, after a moment of surprise, thanked Jiang Xuenian.

Meng Baichun took a sip of her mango juice, a satisfied expression on her face. “It’s so good! You two try yours quickly!”

Jiang Xuenian picked up the strawberry juice in front of her and took a sip.

“Huh?” Why did it taste like alcohol?
