After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 33: 033
The next day, after lunch, Xu Jie took Jiang Xuenian and the other two back to St. Lyceum Academy.
The principal, having heard the news of St. Lyceum winning the city-wide league and knowing that Jiang Xuenian, who had an extraordinary background, was among the participants, specially arranged a grand welcome ceremony for them.
As soon as the four got out of the car, they were stunned by the huge banner at the school gate and the school leaders holding bouquets of flowers.
The principal led a group of school leaders forward to present flowers to the four. Xu Jie was simply overwhelmed.
She hadn’t expected to receive flowers herself.
Xu Jie glanced at Jiang Xuenian, who was personally receiving flowers from the principal, and sighed, feeling that she must be basking in Jiang Xuenian’s reflected glory.
Normally, when they won the city-wide league, the school would attach importance to it, but not to the extent that the busy principal himself would come out to greet them. At most, a vice-principal would be sent.
The principal, beaming, said, “Student Jiang Xuenian, thank you for bringing honor to our school. I immediately contacted your parents about your victory in the city-wide league. You truly live up to being the daughter of Mr. Jiang and Ms. Qiu, and the sister of Jiang Yue. Excellent genes are indeed innate.”
Jiang Xuenian smiled and said to the principal, “You’re too kind. May I ask which parent you notified?”
Since he said “parents,” it certainly wouldn’t be Jiang Yue. Jiang Kai was so busy, he probably didn’t even have time to answer the phone. Could it be Qiu…
The principal happily said, “I notified Ms. Qiu!”
Jiang Xuenian: “…”
This Ms. Qiu, upon hearing the good news from the principal, would likely not only not be happy but would also remain steadfast in her belief that Jiang Xuenian achieved her results through cheating.
Qiu Fanrou’s prejudice against “Jiang Xuenian” had been long-standing, and it would be difficult to change.
Jiang Xuenian now only hoped that Qiu Fanrou would return later next time. She had already driven “Jiang Xuenian” crazy; Jiang Xuenian didn’t want to be the second victim.
Jiang Xuenian subtly said, “My parents are very busy with work. In the future, for such matters, you can notify my brother; it’s the same.”
The principal laughed awkwardly, “Eh? How can a brother be the same as parents? Come, let’s go inside, don’t stand outside.”
Jiang Yue had not yet differentiated. His military rank would only be promoted after differentiation. Officially, Jiang Yue was currently just an ordinary military officer undergoing training in the army.
How could the principal possibly lower himself to call Jiang Yue?
Jiang Xuenian took two steps inside with the principal before realizing the crucial point of the problem.
The novel she read had a timeline after Jiang Yue’s differentiation. As an S-class Alpha rarely seen in decades, Jiang Yue was rapidly promoted in the military and was the person the league’s elites most wanted to befriend. This principal of St. Lyceum Academy had also appeared in the novel and treated Jiang Yue with great respect when interacting with him.
Jiang Xuenian suddenly found it very boring.
She turned her head, searching for Shi Qingfan. Shi Qingfan, relying on the cold aura around her, successfully kept the school leaders at bay; no one stood within half a meter of her.
Shi Qingfan felt Jiang Xuenian’s gaze and looked over, her light brown eyes cold and clear, with a slight question.
Jiang Xuenian couldn’t help but smile, her annoyance vanishing. She raised her hand and made a heart shape towards Shi Qingfan, then continued to deal with the principal.
Shi Qingfan’s steps faltered slightly as she received Jiang Xuenian’s heart gesture. Her fingertips trembled, and the cool air seemed to flow with warmth, making her cheeks flush.
Shi Qingfan’s eyelashes gently lowered, her light brown eyes gleaming.
Jiang Xuenian was too bold, showing her affection like that in front of so many school leaders.
Did she like her that much…?
They walked all the way to the front of the teaching building before the principal and school leaders stopped.
The principal patted Jiang Xuenian’s shoulder. “St. Lyceum will continue to help you study well. If you need anything, just tell your homeroom teacher. If your homeroom teacher can’t solve it, have her find Director Xu. If Director Xu still can’t solve it, come directly to me.”
Jiang Xuenian thanked the principal, wanting to say she didn’t need any help, but the principal quickly turned to talk to Xu Jie, not giving Jiang Xuenian a chance.
The principal said, “Director Xu, you’ve worked hard leading the team this time. The school won’t forget your contributions, and neither will I. If you have nothing else this afternoon, please bear with us and inform all twelve-grade classes to watch the city-wide league videos as soon as possible. Have the students write a reflection paper and submit it. We’ll pick some good ones to publish in the campus newspaper.”
Xu Jie immediately said, “Don’t worry, Principal. I’ll arrange it right away. I guarantee the students will watch the competition videos tonight and submit their reflections tomorrow night.”
The principal nodded with satisfaction. “Xiao Xu, you’re very good. If you ever have questions, talk more with Vice Principal Qian and let him teach you.”
Xu Jie was overjoyed.
This Vice Principal Qian was about to reach retirement age and become a former vice principal. From the principal’s tone, it seemed he was going to promote her.
“In a few days, the school will hold an award ceremony to give bonuses to students Jiang Xuenian, Shi Qingfan, and Meng Baichun. Students who write good reflection papers will also receive awards. Alright, you’re dismissed. Let the three students return to class.”
The principal left with the school leaders. Xu Jie smiled so wide her teeth showed. “You all study hard. I’m off to arrange my work.”
Jiang Xuenian: “…” So happy she even forgot to take back their phones.
Never mind, she’d return them to Xu Jie during evening self-study.
Jiang Xuenian walked to Shi Qingfan’s side. “Let’s go, Class monitor, back to class~”
Shi Qingfan nodded. “Back to class.”
Meng Baichun held up her bouquet of flowers and asked, “What about this? Should we take it back with us? We’ll be gawked at, won’t we?”
Jiang Xuenian said, “We can’t just throw it away; that would be too wasteful. I remember there are vases in the classroom. Let’s take out the fake flowers and put these real ones in.”
Meng Baichun’s class was not on the same floor as Class Three. Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan got off the elevator first. Each holding a bouquet, they arrived at the door of Class Three. Jiang Xuenian looked at Shi Qingfan: “Class monitor, should I knock?”
“Mm.”
Jiang Xuenian freed one hand, knocked three times, then pushed the door open and called out, “Report.”
At this moment, the homeroom teacher, Tan Ying, was teaching. She knew the approximate time Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan would return, so she specially swapped classes with other teachers.
With two out of the three members of the city-wide league championship team being from her class, how could Tan Ying not take it seriously?
Seeing Jiang Xuenian walk in with a bouquet, Tan Ying smiled. “Welcome back, our heroes who brought honor to the school.”
“Wow—” People who had a good relationship with Jiang Xuenian couldn’t help but cheer when they saw her walk in with the bouquet.
Yin Yan stood up and said, “The heroes are back! Applause!”
“Clap, clap! Clap, clap, clap! Clap, clap!”
Jiang Xuenian was pulled by Tan Ying to stand at the podium. Only then did Shi Qingfan enter the classroom.
The enthusiastic applause from Class Three suddenly died down. Everyone was struck by Shi Qingfan’s beauty. When they came to their senses, Shi Qingfan was already standing next to Jiang Xuenian.
The two, wearing the same school uniform and holding identical bouquets, stood together like a newly married couple.
“Wow~~~” Yin Yan looked at the two in surprise.
“Wow~~~” The people around him followed Yin Yan in surprise.
“Linglang, I somehow feel that Jiang Xuenian and Qingfan are a good match.”
“Are you here to help me or to hinder me!” Gong Linglang angrily retorted.
Then she stood up and shouted, “Class monitor is amazing!!!”
Yin Yan thought it was a slogan and immediately followed with: “Jiang Xuenian is amazing!”
The students in the class were swept up in the emotion, shouting “Class monitor is amazing” and “Jiang Xuenian is amazing” in turns.
Gong Linglang: “…” This isn’t what I wanted!
Why couldn’t they let Shi Qingfan shine alone!
Jiang Xuenian waved to everyone: “Thank you, thank you.”
Shi Qingfan’s lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.
The students immediately became more excited and shouted even louder.
Tan Ying was afraid of disturbing other classes, so she quickly stopped them from shouting further. “Alright, alright, stop. I know you’re excited, but class still has to go on. Can you be excited after class, okay?”
“Okay—”
The classroom finally returned to quiet.
Their own class members had won the championship in the competition, and everyone felt honored. Their eyes, looking at Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan, shone with admiration.
The two met their gazes and returned to their seats.
It wasn’t Shi Qingfan’s first championship, but it was her first time winning one with someone who liked her. This feeling was very strange, keeping her in a peculiar state of mind since she entered the classroom, not paying too much attention to other things.
For example, it was only after she returned to her seat and sat down that she noticed her other childhood friend, Tang Xiuran, had become Gong Linglang’s deskmate.
And she had only asked Tang Xiuran for advice about love confessions the day before yesterday.
Shi Qingfan: “…”
