After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 32: 032

Jiang Xuenian quickly realized that she had probably drunk the special cocktail Xu Jie ordered.

Since she had already drunk it, Jiang Xuenian decided to just go with it and continued to drink it as if it were strawberry juice.

When Xu Jie returned, she invited them to eat snacks. A unfamiliar waiter approached, bowed his head, and asked, “Hello, madam. My colleague left early because he wasn’t feeling well and took the drink menu with him. Is there anything else you need to order?”

Jiang Xuenian: What a coincidence? It seemed her drinking alcohol wouldn’t be exposed.

Xu Jie said, “One more Red Autumn Leaf, please. Thank you.”

“Okay, please wait a moment. It will be served shortly.”

They had come after dinner, so the snacks and fruit platter weren’t particularly appealing. Meng Baichun, having eaten enough, went to listen to the resident singer near the stage.

As the song changed, the bar lights dimmed. Jiang Xuenian’s cheeks felt a little hot, and she said to Shi Qingfan beside her, “Class monitor, I’m going to the restroom.”

Shi Qingfan moved aside, letting Jiang Xuenian pass. But as Jiang Xuenian took two steps, her body swayed twice, as if she was about to fall.

Shi Qingfan quickly went over and steadied her.

“Director Xu, I’ll accompany her to the restroom,” Shi Qingfan said to Xu Jie, letting Jiang Xuenian lean on her.

Xu Jie said, “Go ahead, go ahead. Remember we’re at number twenty. If you get lost, ask a waiter.”

Jiang Xuenian’s mind was slightly dizzy, her steps light and floaty. The sounds around her seemed to reach her ears through a thin film.

“Jiang Xuenian, are you feeling unwell?” Shi Qingfan, holding her arm, asked with concern.

“Hmm,” Jiang Xuenian frowned, her dark eyes veiled in a thin mist. “I’m fine, just feeling a bit hot.”

Shi Qingfan felt a slight relief seeing that her words were clear.

The bar was getting more crowded, the temperature was rising, and they were still wearing their jackets, so it was indeed a bit hot.

The restroom was down a long corridor, with two large green plants placed at the entrance. Walking outside the door, Jiang Xuenian felt hotter and hotter, a thin layer of sweat forming on her back. She stopped to take off her jacket.

Shi Qingfan helped her. When Jiang Xuenian pulled her arm out of the sleeve, she used too much force, lost her balance, and stumbled right into Shi Qingfan’s arms, her chin resting on Shi Qingfan’s shoulder. Her unsteady breath puffed against Shi Qingfan’s neck.

Shi Qingfan’s body stiffened. “Jiang Xuenian?” She had never had such close contact with anyone.

If it were anyone else at this moment, she would have pushed them away long ago.

But this was Jiang Xuenian, the Jiang Xuenian who particularly liked her. Shi Qingfan hesitated for a moment, missing the best opportunity to push her away.

Jiang Xuenian’s hands instinctively wrapped around Shi Qingfan’s waist. Her increasingly muddled brain hadn’t had time to marvel at how slender the waist beneath her hands was when she suddenly caught a faint, alluring scent.

“Class monitor, your scent seems a bit different today. Did you change your shower gel?”

The two stood in the shadows behind the large green plants. Passersby would have to look closely to even notice two people were there.

Shi Qingfan, startled by Jiang Xuenian’s sudden closeness, had instinctively held her breath. Hearing the question, she said, “No.”

Resuming normal breathing, Shi Qingfan also caught a scent, faint but alluring enough to make one’s heart race.

The fragrance, subtle and lingering, clearly came from Jiang Xuenian.

The sound of her heartbeat pounded in her eardrums—thump-thump-thump—and the surrounding air became filled with this scent. Shi Qingfan felt dizzy for a moment, then was startled awake by an outward push, realizing Jiang Xuenian had released her grip on her waist and was pushing against her ribs, pushing her away.

Shi Qingfan, unprepared, was pushed two steps backward. Jiang Xuenian herself walked into the restroom.

Shi Qingfan felt a lingering attachment to the faint but alluring scent. She slowly inhaled, and her cheeks and earlobes began to warm.

After Jiang Xuenian left, the lingering scent in the air quickly dispersed. Shi Qingfan realized something was amiss, but her racing heart and muddled brain at that moment prevented her from thinking clearly.

After waiting a few minutes by the green plant, Jiang Xuenian emerged from the restroom, her cheeks pale and damp, her eyes dark, her rosy lips pursed. Seeing Shi Qingfan, her recent chaotic memories slowly cleared—it seemed she had just taken advantage of Shi Qingfan while tipsy!

Jiang Xuenian was sure the alcohol she drank wasn’t strong, and she handled alcohol well; when drunk, she usually just got sleepy and went to sleep. Why had she acted so wantonly just now?

If Shi Qingfan was angry, how could she appease her?

Jiang Xuenian’s mind raced with a thousand thoughts. She slowly walked over to Shi Qingfan, trying to suppress her embarrassment. “Class monitor, I’m sorry. I was feeling a bit unwell just now, so my behavior might have been a bit strange…”

Shi Qingfan unbuttoned her jacket and took it off, appearing very calm. “It’s fine. I know you didn’t mean to.”

Jiang Xuenian was simply overcome with emotion.

Shi Qingfan raised a hand to her forehead. Her cool hand brought down the heat of her skin. Shi Qingfan’s muddled mind became clearer and clearer. Without the alluring scent, all the physical anomalies slowly faded away.

“Let’s go back. Do you need me to help you?” Shi Qingfan asked.

Jiang Xuenian quickly said, “I’m mostly fine now. I can walk by myself.”

Shi Qingfan nodded and turned to walk back the way they came.

Jiang Xuenian followed behind.

The semi-circular sofa at number twenty was empty. Jiang Xuenian scanned the area and found Xu Jie and Meng Baichun listening to the resident singer perform in the front row.

At this moment, the resident singer was performing a clear and beautiful ancient-style song. The overhead lights had turned a light cyan, and the lingering, pleasant sound entered their ears.

Jiang Xuenian’s body finally returned to normal. After sitting down, she decisively moved the special cocktail away from her.

The feeling she had just experienced made her very uncomfortable; she felt that a few more times would definitely lead to trouble.

To be safe, it was better for her to temporarily avoid drinking alcohol.

The four played at the bar until 11 PM. Xu Jie quickly drank the remaining half-glass of Red Autumn Leaf, showing no signs of intoxication. She said spiritedly, “Let’s go, go back to the hotel and get a good night’s sleep. We can sleep in tomorrow and return to school after lunch.”

On the way back to the hotel, only Meng Baichun was chirping excitedly, talking non-stop. Xu Jie occasionally chimed in with a few words, while Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan were both somewhat silent.

Upon reaching the hotel, the four each returned to their own rooms.

Jiang Xuenian said goodnight to Shi Qingfan and returned to her bedroom, only to find that her bedding was still in Shi Qingfan’s room.

She still felt that her behavior was problematic. Even if she was drunk, she shouldn’t just hug and embrace.

Her behavior at the time was inexplicable, with no basis whatsoever.

Hesitating for a moment between going to Shi Qingfan’s room to get her bedding and just making do for the night, Jiang Xuenian hadn’t even had time to make a decision when there was a knock on her door.

Opening the door, Shi Qingfan stood outside, holding her bedding.

“Class monitor? I was just about to get it myself. Please give it to me quickly.”

Jiang Xuenian took the bedding from Shi Qingfan and placed it on her bed.

Shi Qingfan automatically interpreted Jiang Xuenian’s fluster as shyness and felt that just leaving after delivering the bedding didn’t seem right. It would be best to say something…

“I had a lot of fun at the bar just now. Good night, I hope you have sweet dreams tonight.”

Jiang Xuenian turned around and met Shi Qingfan’s light brown eyes. A glimmer of light flashed in her dark eyes.

Shi Qingfan didn’t even care that she had taken advantage of her; why was she being so dramatic about a hug herself?

“You too, Class monitor. I hope you dream of everything you wish to see.”

Jiang Xuenian finished speaking and made a heart shape with her thumb and forefinger.

Shi Qingfan couldn’t help but smile.

Returning to her room to wash up at the sink, Shi Qingfan looked up. Her reflection in the mirror showed a smile emanating from her eyes.

Ever since returning from Jiang Xuenian’s room, she seemed to have been smiling.

Shi Qingfan seemed to be thinking about something.
