After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 35: 035

Next, when Jiang Xuenian competed against other schools, every time she won, Gong Linglang would stand up and cheer excitedly.

Gong Linglang’s deskmate, Tang Xiuran, put on the earplugs he usually wore to sleep, to protect his ears.

There were three ten-minute breaks during the video playback. Although others were excited, they still needed to use the restroom, and screaming non-stop during class was truly exhausting, so they desperately needed a break.

Only Gong Linglang was extremely dissatisfied with the ten-minute breaks, wishing they could be compressed into a single second so she could continue watching.

At 8:30 PM, evening self-study ended, and Class Three had just finished watching all the competition videos.

Gong Linglang’s eyes were red from crying, and her voice was so hoarse from shouting that she could barely speak.

After class, Shi Qingfan came to find Gong Linglang. Seeing her appearance, she frowned and said, “Linglang, you’re too emotional. It’s not good for your health.”

Gong Linglang’s eyes ached from crying. She said pitifully, “I’ll… be careful next time, cough, cough.”

Tang Xiuran took out his earplugs and said to Gong Linglang, “You probably don’t hate Jiang Xuenian anymore, do you?”

“Hate me for what?” Jiang Xuenian walked over, just hearing the last few words.

Tang Xiuran was about to tell Jiang Xuenian when Gong Linglang suddenly grabbed his hand and squeezed hard, shaking her head vigorously, preventing him from speaking.

Tang Xiuran immediately shut his mouth.

Even if Tang Xiuran didn’t say anything, Jiang Xuenian could pretty much guess from Gong Linglang’s reaction.

Gong Linglang’s dislike for her had always been obvious. Seeing Gong Linglang cheer so excitedly for her victory while watching the video today, to be honest, Jiang Xuenian wasn’t too surprised.

She often spent time with Shi Qingfan, which inevitably meant interacting with Gong Linglang.

Jiang Xuenian could bet that even if Gong Linglang cheered for her during the video, it wouldn’t stop Gong Linglang from continuing to dislike her.

Indeed, on the way back to the dorm, Gong Linglang still seemed unhappy with Jiang Xuenian.

Tang Xiuran was a boy and didn’t live in the same dorm building as them, so they parted ways halfway. Before separating, he made a phone call gesture to Gong Linglang. Because Shi Qingfan forbade Gong Linglang from speaking, Gong Linglang could only nod to indicate she understood.

Outside the dorm room, Jiang Xuenian asked Shi Qingfan, “Class monitor, do you want to rest today? I can find you for tutoring tomorrow?”

Shi Qingfan had a good physique and wasn’t really tired. She was about to say it was fine and they could have tutoring today, but her sleeve was suddenly pulled hard by Gong Linglang.

The movement was so obvious that even Jiang Xuenian saw it.

“Okay, see you tomorrow,” Shi Qingfan said, a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xuenian smiled carelessly, “No homework today, get some rest early.”

Watching Jiang Xuenian enter 508, Shi Qingfan and Gong Linglang returned to 506.

After closing the door, Shi Qingfan asked, “Linglang, why don’t you want me to tutor Jiang Xuenian?”

Previously, although Gong Linglang disliked Jiang Xuenian, she hadn’t been as agitated as today.

Gong Linglang tried to speak but found it difficult to make a sound. So she sat down at her desk, pulled out a piece of paper, wrote a line of text, and showed it to Shi Qingfan.

[Your talking will disturb my reflection paper writing!]

Shi Qingfan: “…”

Jiang Xuenian returned to her dorm room, quickly washed up, and went to bed a little past nine.

She had been busy with her studies ever since she entered this body, and now she could start exercising.

Running was the most basic and simplest form of exercise. Jiang Xuenian set her alarm for 5:30 AM. As soon as the alarm went off, she immediately changed into her athletic clothes and went to the track to run laps.

It was now deep autumn, and the weather was getting colder. As Jiang Xuenian exited the dormitory building, she was immediately hit by a chilling gust of wind.

She pulled up the hood of her hoodie and ran from the dorm building towards the track.

Jiang Xuenian was well aware of how weak her current physical condition was. She needed to progress gradually and didn’t need to run too much at first.

The girls’ dormitory building was about a ten-minute walk from the track. By the time Jiang Xuenian reached the track, she was already panting.

She bent over, hands on her knees, and checked her watch while waiting for her breathing to steady.

It took her five minutes to run a distance that would take ten minutes to walk.

Too slow.

But even at this slow pace, she was exhausted.

Jiang Xuenian wasn’t in a hurry. Once her breathing stabilized, she straightened up and walked onto the track.

The track wasn’t empty. About a dozen strong athletic students were training.

There were both male and female students, all highly physically fit military reserves.

Perhaps their coach wasn’t present, as someone couldn’t help but let out a wolf whistle when they saw the thin Jiang Xuenian walk in.

Jiang Xuenian ignored it.

“Hey! Haven’t seen you before. What are you doing here so early in the morning?”

Hearing a female voice, Jiang Xuenian looked up.

A short-haired girl, wearing a sports tank top and shorts, revealed solid but not bulky muscles on her limbs. Her skin was healthy, her face deep-set and sharp, and she had a scar on her eyebrow. At this moment, she was looking at Jiang Xuenian with a raised eyebrow and a sly smile.

She was surrounded by a group of people, clearly the leader among these athletic students.

By now, the sun had fully risen, dispelling the faint morning mist. Jiang Xuenian faced east, her head slightly raised, and the golden light reflected in her dark eyes.

The girl opposite her was slightly taken aback.

“I came to run,” Jiang Xuenian said.

Without waiting for a reply, she turned and started running on the rubber track.

The track was four hundred meters per lap. Jiang Xuenian tentatively decided to run two laps every morning and two laps after evening self-study, increasing it by one lap each morning and evening every ten days.

After completing the first lap, Jiang Xuenian could only breathe through her mouth. The cold air rushed in and quickly carried away the warmth from her body. By the second lap, Jiang Xuenian’s speed was almost walking pace. The metallic taste in her mouth grew stronger, and Jiang Xuenian focused intently on the finish line, unable to hear anything around her.

Finally, Jiang Xuenian crossed the finish line.

Her legs went weak, and she almost fell but regained her balance through sheer willpower.

After stopping, a blush began to creep up her pale cheeks. Her heartbeat echoed in her ears. Jiang Xuenian paused for a few seconds before starting to walk out of the track.

“Damn, Huo Yashan, there’s actually someone in our school who dares to ignore you. Who is this great god who pants every three steps? I really want to know her name, hahaha.”

Huo Yashan’s sly smile vanished. She unhappily kicked the girl who was teasing her. “Fei Yaxin, no one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”

Just now, when Jiang Xuenian almost fell, Huo Yashan had wanted to go over and help her.

Seeing that she stood up by herself, she didn’t go over, only lazily stood there and asked a couple of questions.

But she was completely ignored.

Tsk!

Jiang Xuenian returned to her dorm with shaky legs. She glanced at the time; it was 6:10 AM.

The school’s morning self-study time had changed to 7:20 AM last week, so she still had time for a short nap.

Setting her alarm, Jiang Xuenian lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because her first run was too intense, but Jiang Xuenian only woke up when her alarm rang for the third time.

But she wasn’t awakened by the alarm; she was startled awake by a knock on the door.

“Knock, knock, knock! Jiang Xuenian, are you there?”

Jiang Xuenian groggily got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it. Seeing Shi Qingfan, she was still a bit confused: “Class monitor, is something wrong?”

Jiang Xuenian’s cheeks were flushed with the sweet blush of sleep. She was leaning against the doorframe, looking unsteady. A hint of worry flashed in Shi Qingfan’s light brown eyes, and she asked, “Are you running a fever?” She raised her hand and placed it on Jiang Xuenian’s forehead.

Jiang Xuenian rubbed her eyes, trying hard to separate her sticky eyelids. “Huh? No, I don’t have a fever.”

The temperature under her palm wasn’t abnormally hot, and Shi Qingfan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“You’re ten minutes late for morning self-study. I thought something happened to you. The homeroom teacher is going to be half an hour late, so hurry up and get ready and come with me to morning self-study.”

“What?” Jiang Xuenian instantly sobered up.

She raised her hand and checked the time: 7:33…

“Class monitor, it only took you three minutes to get here from the classroom?!” The distance from the teaching building to the dorm was twice that of the track.

Shi Qingfan didn’t understand why Jiang Xuenian’s focus was on that. She said, “Roughly. Being caught late by the homeroom teacher will result in a deduction from your usual score. Hurry up and get ready.”

Seeing Jiang Xuenian looking at her with envy, unmoving, Shi Qingfan simply pushed Jiang Xuenian and entered the dorm with her.

Under Shi Qingfan’s watchful eye, Jiang Xuenian finally finished washing up and was completely awake.

There were still seven minutes left before the homeroom teacher returned. Normally, it would take them fifteen minutes to walk. Jiang Xuenian hadn’t fully recovered yet and couldn’t run fast at all.

“Class monitor, maybe we should just forget it…”

So what if she lost points? There was nothing she could do. She really couldn’t run anymore.

“Normal scores affect the school allocation after differentiation.” Shi Qingfan pursed her lips. She always had full marks. Jiang Xuenian’s previous poor academic performance had already led to some deductions; she couldn’t afford any more.

She wanted… to be in the same school as Jiang Xuenian.

Shi Qingfan raised her hand, taking Jiang Xuenian’s hand. This direct skin-to-skin contact made Shi Qingfan’s heart skip a beat.

“I’ll pull you. I’ll control the speed. Be careful not to fall.”

Shi Qingfan’s eyes sparkled. Jiang Xuenian was stunned for a moment. The warmth of her hand felt unusually hot. She nodded, “I’ll try my best to keep up with you.”

When the two ran into Class Three, Jiang Xuenian was already exhausted. Shi Qingfan, in front of the entire class, pulled Jiang Xuenian by the hand to her seat, then helped her take out her Imperial Common Language textbook and placed it on her desk.

The sound of reading in the classroom gradually subsided. Everyone was distracted, constantly glancing at Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan out of the corner of their eyes.

Holy moly, Jiang Xuenian is too amazing! She’s already got the class monitor wrapped around her finger just by being late???
