After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 34: 034
Class was still in session, so despite her surprise, Shi Qingfan didn’t speak to Tang Xiuran.
Fortunately, there were only five minutes left until the end of class. Tan Ying used these five minutes to finish explaining a problem, and as soon as the bell rang, she immediately left the classroom.
Gong Linglang repeatedly urged Tang Xiuran to stand on her side and act as a gatekeeper for Shi Qingfan. Only after getting Tang Xiuran’s definite affirmative reply did they go together to Shi Qingfan’s seat to find her.
“Qingfan~ Aren’t you surprised? Didn’t you expect it? You didn’t think I’d come to St. Lyceum to find you, did you~” Tang Xiuran was a boy with slightly curly hair and milky white skin. He wasn’t tall, about the same height as Gong Linglang. He had a lively and cheerful personality, and his dream was to differentiate into an Omega or a Beta and find his soulmate.
Shi Qingfan looked at Gong Linglang: “This is the surprise you mentioned?”
Gong Linglang countered, “Isn’t Tangtang’s arrival enough of a surprise?”
Shi Qingfan was unsure if Tang Xiuran would tell Gong Linglang about the questions she had asked him. She said, “Surprise is one thing,” the important thing was that it was a big shock.
“Tangtang didn’t transfer here, did he? How long will he stay at St. Lyceum?”
Tang Xiuran smiled sweetly, “As expected, nothing can be hidden from Qingfan. I can only stay at St. Lyceum Academy for a month, so I’ll have to stick to you more often. I’ll be leaving soon, and who knows when we’ll see each other again.”
The more Tang Xiuran spoke, the more pathetic he sounded. Shi Qingfan said, “Don’t worry, we’ll see each other at Chinese New Year.”
Tang Xiuran: “…”
Tang Xiuran was speechless and gave Gong Linglang a look.
Gong Linglang asked, “Qingfan, did Jiang Xuenian take advantage of you during these few days out?”
They had slept in the same bed for one night, and Jiang Xuenian almost confessed to her…
Shi Qingfan met her gaze directly to cover her guilt. “You’re prejudiced against her. I told you, Jiang Xuenian wouldn’t do anything to me.”
Gong Linglang pouted: “The way she looks at you is clearly not with good intentions. You’re just too naive and easily fooled by her. You used to reject so many suitors without fail, so why are you pretending not to notice with Jiang Xuenian?”
The more guilty Shi Qingfan felt, the calmer she appeared on the surface. “Jiang Xuenian doesn’t like me; we’re just friends. You’re mistaken. She treats everyone the same.”
Gong Linglang glanced in Jiang Xuenian’s direction. Nearly half the class was gathered around Jiang Xuenian, who was smiling gently at them.
Gong Linglang paused, and a faint feeling of displeasure suddenly rose in her heart.
“See, she’s a philanderer!” Gong Linglang pointed at Jiang Xuenian.
Shi Qingfan said, “She just has a good personality.”
Gong Linglang couldn’t argue with Shi Qingfan and ended up getting angry with herself instead.
Although Jiang Xuenian had already “vindicated” Shi Qingfan and wasn’t as detestable as before, Gong Linglang still didn’t want her to be with Shi Qingfan.
How perfect was Shi Qingfan? Top-notch beauty, top-notch intelligence. What did Jiang Xuenian have? Family background?
With the Alliance’s talent-first system, Shi Qingfan, through her own efforts, might not necessarily be inferior to the Jiang family in the future.
In that case, Jiang Xuenian would lose her only advantage. Why was she clinging to Shi Qingfan every day and being treated specially by Shi Qingfan?
The break was only ten minutes long. As soon as the bell rang, Gong Linglang and Tang Xiuran returned to their seats.
As Tang Xiuran left, he winked at Shi Qingfan when Gong Linglang wasn’t looking.
Shi Qingfan immediately understood that Tang Xiuran probably hadn’t told Gong Linglang about what she had asked him.
This was a physics class, but when the students were seated, Tan Ying walked in instead.
Tan Ying held a USB drive in her hand. She walked in without preamble and immediately said, “Today’s physics class is canceled. We’re going to watch the city-wide league competition video and see how Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan brought honor to our school.”
Tan Ying plugged in the USB drive, navigated to the video page, and told the students, “The school requires all students to write a reflection paper after watching the competition video. Excellent reflection papers can be published in the campus newspaper, earning royalties and a bonus from the school. From what I understand, the reflection paper awards will be given out alongside Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan’s awards.”
Most students at St. Lyceum were not short on money, so they were initially uninterested in the bonus. But upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, their interest was instantly piqued.
Standing on the same awards stage as Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan and taking a picture would be capital for showing off in the future, wouldn’t it?!
Seeing that she had stirred up everyone’s enthusiasm, Tan Ying smiled with satisfaction and clicked to play the video.
Due to time constraints, Tan Ying had received the unedited original video, where the camera could only focus on one area at a time.
When the camera moved to St. Lyceum Academy, the screen showed Jiang Xuenian’s relaxed figure. Shi Qingfan was as calm and cool as ever, while Meng Baichun was visibly nervous, wiping sweat every time the camera showed her.
The screen stayed on St. Lyceum Academy for over a minute, then quickly moved to another school.
Everyone was intensely planning strategies, trying to win the competition.
It wasn’t until the camera moved to Mingxin Military Affiliated School that the students of Class Three couldn’t help but become nervous, hearing the conversation between Dai Hongbo, Qiao Feixiang, and Bai Yeyu.
In their minds, although Jiang Xuenian had a photographic memory due to her amnesia, she only ranked third in the entire school in the semi-finals. While Meng Baichun’s score was second, it was still far behind Shi Qingfan’s. Simply put, Jiang Xuenian and Meng Baichun both had a significant gap compared to Shi Qingfan.
It was probably a gap as thick as a steel plate between academic excellence and academic genius.
They had seen Dai Hongbo, Qiao Feixiang, and Bai Yeyu in previous city-wide league competition videos. Although they couldn’t compare to Shi Qingfan either, their scores were still significantly higher than Jiang Xuenian’s and Meng Baichun’s.
“Mingxin Military Affiliated School is too despicable, deliberately scheming against us knowing that St. Lyceum hadn’t changed its competition order.”
“Mingxin is so annoying, especially that high-and-mighty look on Dai Hongbo’s face.”
“I never used to think Dai Hongbo was bad, but now, no matter how I look at his face, it just annoys me. I want to punch him.”
••••
The students in the class discussed quietly as they watched. Almost everyone believed Jiang Xuenian would lose, and Meng Baichun had a fifty-fifty chance of winning.
In the first match, Shi Qingfan not only defeated Qiao Feixiang but did so with a 10:0 score. While the Class Three students felt a sense of relief, they were also more curious about how Qiao Feixiang had angered Shi Qingfan.
Next, in the second match, Meng Baichun faced Bai Yeyu. After an intense competition, Bai Yeyu ultimately lost to Meng Baichun by a single point.
Although St. Lyceum had already secured victory at this point, everyone still couldn’t help but feel nervous for the final battle against Mingxin Military Affiliated School.
Especially Gong Linglang, whose hands were even slightly trembling as she clutched Tang Xiuran’s.
Tang Xiuran looked at his reddened hand and chose to turn around and ask Shi Qingfan about the match results.
“Qingfan, Qingfan, did Jiang Xuenian win?”
Shi Qingfan was about to speak when Gong Linglang suddenly turned around and said sternly, “No spoilers!”
Shi Qingfan looked at Tang Xiuran, who shrugged. “Okay, I won’t ask. But Linglang, can you let go of my hand? It hurts.”
Gong Linglang immediately let go, a little embarrassed. “I wasn’t paying attention, I’m sorry.” She gently took Tang Xiuran’s hand and blew on it for him.
“It’s okay, I forgive you.”
Just then, the students of Class Three suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Gong Linglang immediately dropped Tang Xiuran’s hand with a look of regret. “Ah! What did I miss?!”
Tang Xiuran: “…”
On the screen, Jiang Xuenian’s hand moved away from the buzzer, and she immediately stated the answer.
The referee said, “Completely correct!”
“Wow! We won!!!” Gong Linglang stood up excitedly and shouted.
Everyone looked over, and Gong Linglang instantly calmed down, sitting down and pretending to be dead.
She had just cheered for Jiang Xuenian’s victory?!
She must be crazy.
Next, to prevent herself from making another irrational move, Gong Linglang clasped her hands tightly, using the pain to constantly remind herself to calm down.
When Jiang Xuenian won the second question, Gong Linglang pursed her lips and held back.
For the third question, Gong Linglang pinched herself hard and held back again.
The fourth question, the fifth question, the sixth question… all the way to the ninth question, when the referee once again said “completely correct,” Gong Linglang couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Jiang Xuenian, you’re the best! Go for it!!!!”
At this moment, the students of Class Three had no time to be surprised, because they thought the same as Gong Linglang.
“Jiang Xuenian, go, go, go!!!!”
“Beat him!”
“Let him be arrogant, just wait and lose 0:10!!!”
••••
When Jiang Xuenian won the last question, Gong Linglang cried tears of excitement. “We won, we won! We won!!! Jiang Xuenian, you’re a god!!!!”
Tang Xiuran: “…”
So who was the hindrance after all???
T/N: Wahaha… Didn’t expect it, ah?
