After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 41: 041

Huo Yashan dangerously narrowed her eyes. “Not my girlfriend? Then could she be yours?”

Jiang Xuenian never expected such a melodramatic love triangle with two girls vying for one would happen to her. She walked over helplessly and removed Shi Qingfan’s hand from Huo Yashan’s wrist.

Jiang Xuenian felt Shi Qingfan’s arm stiffen slightly, but she didn’t resist, and Jiang Xuenian’s heart softened.

Huo Yashan was indeed being a bit much. Shi Qingfan considered her a friend, so she would naturally be angry.

“Huo Yashan, I won’t be your girlfriend.”

The triumphant smile on Huo Yashan’s face faded, and she frowned in confusion: “You know who I am and you’re still rejecting me?”

Jiang Xuenian’s tone was calm as she said, “Knowing who you are has nothing to do with my rejecting you. You’re a tenth-grade student, right? I’m rejecting you simply because I don’t like people younger than me.”

Fei Yaxin looked at Jiang Xuenian with an incredulous expression. She was the only one among the athletic students who knew Huo Yashan’s true background and couldn’t imagine anyone rejecting Huo Yashan after knowing her grandfather was Huo Feng.

Jiang Xuenian’s attitude was firm, her dark eyes filled with sincerity. Huo Yashan was momentarily speechless, unable to retort.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Xuenian saw Huo Yashan frowning and staring at her, motionless. She took Shi Qingfan’s hand and walked out of the track.

Yin Yan and the others quickly ran to hide behind a nearby tree. Then they quietly followed not far behind the two.

[XueFan Love Diary 16 – Jiang Xuenian ultimately chose her beloved Shi Qingfan. The two left the track hand-in-hand, leaving behind the heartbroken athletic student. (Jiang Xuenian’s eyes weren’t red, she didn’t cry just now)]

While shipping often requires imagining the whole scene from subtle clues, it must still be based on accurate events. If the events are inaccurate, then the imagination is baseless. Yin Yan was very meticulous about this.

The cafeteria was not far from the track. Neither of them spoke on the way. Jiang Xuenian knew that Huo Yashan definitely wouldn’t give up just because of her words; she had to find a way to get rid of this trouble.

Entering the cafeteria, when they went to buy food, Jiang Xuenian realized she had been holding Shi Qingfan’s hand the whole time and quickly let go.

Shi Qingfan was thinking about something else and didn’t notice.

The two bought their food and found an empty corner to sit down.

Jiang Xuenian saw Shi Qingfan looking down, preoccupied, and said, “Don’t bother yourself over unimportant people. I won’t like Huo Yashan.”

Shi Qingfan’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

Of course, you won’t like Huo Yashan, because you like me.

Jiang Xuenian said, “I only spoke to her on my first day running on the track. Who knew that after my run just now, she suddenly came over and asked me to be her girlfriend, even using her family background to tempt me, fearing I’d refuse. I really don’t know if she’s shrewd or naive. I really can’t understand the thought process of young girls.”

When Shi Qingfan heard the words “young girls,” she finally lifted her eyes.

“Xuenian.” She looked at Jiang Xuenian very seriously and called her name.

“What’s wrong, Class monitor?” Jiang Xuenian couldn’t help but become serious as well, putting down her chopsticks and asking.

“When is your birthday?” Shi Qingfan asked, holding her breath for Jiang Xuenian’s answer.

Jiang Xuenian was startled. Why did Shi Qingfan suddenly ask for her birthday?

Jiang Xuenian was about to answer when she suddenly snapped back to reality. Shi Qingfan was asking for the birthday of this body. If she said her own birthday, she would expose herself.

“Class monitor, I forgot my birthday. I’ll call my brother when I get back to the dorm and ask him.” They had used their phones for the city-wide league, and Tan Ying hadn’t remembered to collect them yet.

After evening self-study, Jiang Xuenian opened the dorm room door and walked in. Shi Qingfan followed, intending to go in too.

Gong Linglang was stunned and quickly pulled Shi Qingfan’s hand. “Qingfan, you’ve gone to the wrong dorm.”

Jiang Xuenian turned around and asked, “Class monitor, are you coming in?”

Shi Qingfan nodded, gently breaking free from Gong Linglang’s hand, and said, “I have something to tell Jiang Xuenian. I’ll be back soon.”

Gong Linglang could only watch as her childhood friend walked into Jiang Xuenian’s dorm without looking back, and the door closed with a “click.”

Jiang Xuenian lived in a single dorm room, which was much larger than Shi Qingfan’s dorm.

Jiang Xuenian got a chair for Shi Qingfan, took out her phone from the drawer, and turned it on. “I’ll ask right away.”

After spending these past few days together, Jiang Xuenian understood Shi Qingfan quite well.

In the afternoon, she hadn’t answered Shi Qingfan’s question, so Shi Qingfan must have come to her dorm to remind her to call and ask for her birthday.

Jiang Xuenian dialed Jiang Yue’s phone number. It rang once and was answered.

“Xuenian, why do you have time to call big brother? Is something wrong?” Jiang Yue’s slightly nervous voice came from the phone.

“I’m fine. Brother, we won the championship in the city-wide league, and the school gave us prize money. I wanted to ask what you want for your birthday present, so I can prepare it for you in advance.”

Jiang Xuenian subtly inquired.

The Jiang family probably didn’t know about her amnesia yet, at least Tan Ying hadn’t told them at Jiang Xuenian’s request. Otherwise, Jiang Kai and Jiang Yue would have already taken Jiang Xuenian for a full body check-up at the hospital.

Jiang Yue laughed heartily: “I’m so happy Xuenian thought of buying me a birthday present immediately after winning the scholarship! But there are still nine months until July 20th. Are you sure you want to prepare so early?”

Jiang Xuenian’s expression didn’t change as she said, “Okay, it doesn’t have to be a birthday present. I just genuinely want to buy you a gift. Brother, what do you want?”

Jiang Yue was incredibly touched, exclaiming that his sister had grown up.

In the end, Jiang Yue didn’t say what he wanted, only telling Jiang Xuenian to call him immediately if anything happened at school. He would call Tan Ying later and tell her not to confiscate Jiang Xuenian’s phone. “My sister is so good at studying, a phone won’t affect her at all. Having a phone also makes it easier to call big brother sometimes.”

The last sentence was Jiang Yue’s true purpose.

After hanging up, Jiang Xuenian said to Shi Qingfan, “Class monitor, my birthday is July 20th.”

Shi Qingfan’s pale fingertips wrapped around her long hair in front of her. Hearing Jiang Xuenian’s answer, her hand movements paused.

Jiang Xuenian’s birthday was July 20th. Her birthday was September 26th.

She was younger than Jiang Xuenian.

Jiang Xuenian said she didn’t like people younger than her.

Shi Qingfan frowned slightly. Did Jiang Xuenian know she was two months younger than her?

If she knew and still liked her, it meant what she said to Huo Yashan was not true.

If she didn’t know… would she still like her after knowing?

Shi Qingfan was conflicted about whether to ask Jiang Xuenian if she knew her birthday was later than hers. Her expression was somewhat dazed as she stood up and said to Jiang Xuenian, “I’m a bit tired today. Would it be alright if we continued our tutoring tomorrow so I can rest early?”

“Of course, no problem.” Jiang Xuenian asked with concern, “Besides being tired, are you uncomfortable anywhere else? Do you need me to accompany you to the infirmary?”

Shi Qingfan shook her head. “A good night’s sleep will fix it.”

Shi Qingfan returned to her dorm. Gong Linglang was complaining in the group chat with Tang Xiuran and Jiang Feichen about Jiang Xuenian luring Shi Qingfan to her dorm.

Gong Linglang: If Qingfan isn’t back in five minutes, I’m storming the dorm across the hall to retrieve her.

Just as she sent the message, Shi Qingfan returned.

Gong Linglang quickly hid her phone under the covers, looking down from the top bunk. “Qingfan, you’re back.”

“Mm.”

Gong Linglang sensitively noticed Shi Qingfan’s unusual demeanor. She immediately got off her bed, walked to Shi Qingfan in her slippers, and asked, “Qingfan, what’s wrong?”

Shi Qingfan didn’t know whether to tell Gong Linglang.

She herself couldn’t believe she was so conflicted over something as trivial as birth dates, cautious and daring not to ask Jiang Xuenian.

Is this what it feels like to like someone?

The more you care, the less you dare to treat it lightly.

Every matter must be handled with utmost care.

“Qingfan, did Jiang Xuenian confess to you?” Gong Linglang asked.

Besides that, Gong Linglang couldn’t think of anything else that would make Shi Qingfan so confused and conflicted.

“Are you wondering whether to reject Jiang Xuenian? If you don’t know how to decide, tell me. Even though I haven’t been in a relationship, there’s also Tangtang and Feichen. With more people, we can always find a solution.”

Shi Qingfan felt a warmth in her heart after hearing Gong Linglang’s words.

“No, Jiang Xuenian didn’t confess to me.”

“Then what is it?” Gong Linglang quickly asked again when Shi Qingfan answered.

Shi Qingfan told Gong Linglang what happened on the track and her own dilemma. “Linglang, do you think I should ask Jiang Xuenian if she knows my birthday is later than hers?”

Gong Linglang: “…”

Damn it! What charm does Jiang Xuenian possess that her perfect childhood friend is completely ensnared! To be so conflicted over such a small matter.
