After Biting the Female Lead, the Vicious Female Supporting Character Turned Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 47: 047
“How did you know my wrist was injured?” Jiang Xuenian asked.
Shi Qingfan’s head was slightly bowed, her long hair slipped from her shoulder and clung to her cheek. Hearing Jiang Xuenian’s question, her eyelashes gently fluttered open, her light brown eyes as pure as a clear spring. “I saw it as soon as you entered the classroom.”
Jiang Xuenian was momentarily suffocated by Shi Qingfan’s beauty. She joked, “Qingqing, are you especially adoring of me? Even Yin Yan, my deskmate, didn’t notice the injury on my wrist.”
Shi Qingfan’s lips curved slightly, but she didn’t answer.

Gong Linglang looked down from the upper bunk, live-streaming the situation to her two other best friends.
Gong Linglang: With their way of interacting, are they really not a couple? Qingfan actually said Jiang Xuenian doesn’t like her, how is that possible? I swear Jiang Xuenian was staring at Qingfan in a daze just now!!!
Jiang Feichen: I didn’t see it with my own eyes, so it’s hard to conclude. Tangtang, what do you think?
Tang Xiuran: It’s hard for me to say either… How about I find an opportunity tomorrow to test Jiang Xuenian?
Gong Linglang: Okay, it’s up to you.
Jiang Feichen: I’ll list a few questions for you. Pay close attention to Jiang Xuenian’s reactions.
Tang Xiuran: Leave it to me.
Shi Qingfan helped Jiang Xuenian rub the bruise cream evenly until it was absorbed, then withdrew her hand and said, “It’s done. Wrap it in plastic wrap when you shower, don’t get it wet, or the medicine’s effectiveness will decrease.”
Jiang Xuenian was about to say she didn’t have plastic wrap when she saw Shi Qingfan open a drawer and take out a roll. “Let’s review first. I’ll help you wrap it when you go back.”
Due to her personality, Jiang Xuenian was usually the one taking care of others in the real world. This was the first time she had been cared for in such detail.
Jiang Xuenian sighed, “The person who marries you in the future will definitely be the happiest person in the world.”
Shi Qingfan’s eyes flickered: “Is that so?”
“Of course! I’ve never seen anyone as perfect as you. Beautiful, good at studying, kind, caring… I don’t know what word to use to describe you besides ‘perfect’.”
Jiang Xuenian’s praise was sincere, yet Shi Qingfan detected an underlying candor in her compliments.
Niannian truly didn’t like her.
Shi Qingfan lowered her gaze, thinking calmly.
After studying, Shi Qingfan helped Jiang Xuenian wrap her arm in plastic wrap and watched her leave.
As the dorm door closed, Gong Linglang, who had been holding it in for a long time, said, “Qingfan, I told Tangtang and Feichen the situation. Feichen doesn’t dare to make a conclusion, and Tangtang said she’d subtly probe tomorrow. Tomorrow is physical education class, we’ll be in one group, and Jiang Xuenian and Tangtang will be in another.”
Shi Qingfan nodded: “Okay.”
Gong Linglang looked at Shi Qingfan’s indifferent profile and felt a pang in her heart. When Jiang Xuenian was here just now, there was a light in Shi Qingfan’s eyes, and she would occasionally purse her lips and smile.
She hesitated for a moment and said, “Qingfan, what if… I mean, what if Jiang Xuenian really doesn’t like you?”
Gong Linglang recalled the details of Shi Qingfan and Jiang Xuenian’s interactions during this time. It seemed that Shi Qingfan hadn’t misunderstood at first. It was Gong Linglang herself who had looked at Jiang Xuenian with tinted glasses and told Shi Qingfan that Jiang Xuenian liked her, causing Shi Qingfan to misunderstand and fall deeper step by step.
She had misled Qingfan; she was the culprit.
Gong Linglang was almost drowned by her guilt.
She had seen many people on Weibo who gave up on themselves after a breakup. What if Qingfan also…
Shi Qingfan turned around and chuckled softly, her eyes shimmering and sparkling, her red lips slightly parted as she said, “Then I’ll make her like me.”
Gong Linglang instantly froze. She faced Shi Qingfan’s face every day, and by rights, she should have been immune to it by now, but just now, she actually tasted a captivating allure in Shi Qingfan’s smile.
Gong Linglang clutched her wildly beating chest and said, “I think it’s possible.”
Even she, who liked boys, almost couldn’t handle it. It wasn’t just possible, it was highly probable!
Gong Linglang relaxed. Even if Jiang Xuenian didn’t like Shi Qingfan now, as long as Shi Qingfan smiled like that, Jiang Xuenian would eventually fall.
Shi Qingfan’s bruise cream was very effective. When Jiang Xuenian woke up in the morning, there was only a faint mark on her wrist, which she didn’t need to specifically cover. It was practically invisible unless looked at closely.
The last class of the morning was physical education. After the PE teacher led them through exercises, Jiang Xuenian said to Shi Qingfan as usual, “Qingqing, do you want to play badminton or tennis?”
Gong Linglang walked over and stood in front of Shi Qingfan: “You’ve monopolized Qingfan for so long. This time, Qingfan is mine.”
“Qingfan, let’s go play badminton.”
Shi Qingfan actually didn’t refute Gong Linglang. Jiang Xuenian watched Gong Linglang and Shi Qingfan leave, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She knew her discomfort was irrational. Gong Linglang and Shi Qingfan were childhood friends, their relationship was definitely better than hers and Shi Qingfan’s. She seemed to have indeed “monopolized” Shi Qingfan for too long, so it was only right to let Gong Linglang and Shi Qingfan play once.
Jiang Xuenian stared at the retreating figures of Shi Qingfan and Gong Linglang, her brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
“Cough!” Tang Xiuran coughed loudly.
Jiang Xuenian looked at Tang Xiuran, who smiled and said, “Since Qingfan and Linglang are gone, how about we run together? You run often, so it’ll be good exercise, what do you think?”
Jiang Xuenian nodded: “Okay.”
With Shi Qingfan not around, she really didn’t want to do any other sports with anyone else.
Tang Xiuran’s stamina was average. Jiang Xuenian accommodated him by running slower, but after half a lap, Tang Xiuran was already panting. “No, I can’t. I need to rest.”
Jiang Xuenian stopped and accompanied him to a tree.
Tang Xiuran leaned against the tree, pretending to be out of breath.
He could actually run two or three laps, but he pretended he couldn’t to lead Jiang Xuenian to a secluded spot for a “heart-to-heart.”
“Sorry, my stamina is too poor,” Tang Xiuran said apologetically after recovering.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. My stamina used to be worse than yours.”
Tang Xiuran leaned against the tree and looked opposite. His eyes lit up, and he pointed in a direction. “From here, we can see Qingfan and Linglang! They have pretty good chemistry playing badminton.”
Jiang Xuenian followed Tang Xiuran’s hand and looked over. Seeing Shi Qingfan, she unconsciously showed a gentle smile.
Tang Xiuran secretly observed her expression from the corner of his eye and asked casually, “Xuenian, what kind of partner do you think Qingfan, being so perfect, will find in the future?”
Jiang Xuenian had actually considered this question.
She didn’t recommend Jiang Yue and Shi Qingfan together. Although Jiang Yue was a good brother, he wasn’t a good husband.
As an alpha, his possessiveness was too strong; he wouldn’t even allow Shi Qingfan, as an omega, to step out of the house, and working was out of the question.
When reading, Jiang Xuenian was already annoyed by the male lead’s possessiveness. Shi Qingfan’s talents and dreams were all extinguished after she differentiated into an omega.
“They must support Qingqing’s career, genuinely want what’s best for her, and not do anything against Qingqing’s wishes for their own selfish desires. Of course, the other person also needs to be excellent enough, otherwise Qingqing wouldn’t like them, right?”
Tang Xiuran actually nodded in agreement. “You make sense.”
Then he naturally asked about Jiang Xuenian’s own criteria for a partner. “What about you, Xuenian? What kind of partner do you want to find in the future?”
“Me? I haven’t really thought about it.” In the real world, she was busy with work every day and had no time to think about it.
After transmigrating into the book without memories, and being a good-for-nothing herself, she was constantly researching how to improve herself, so she had even less time to think.
Moreover, her current body was only eighteen years old, barely an adult, so there was no need to think about such distant matters.
Tang Xiuran said, “If you haven’t thought about it before, it’s not too late to think about it now. What if I have friends who meet your standards? I can introduce them to you later. They’re reliable.”
Jiang Xuenian chuckled, “Alright, then I’ll have to give it some good thought.”
“Hmm… First, I’m a look-sist. The appearance has to be above standard.”
Tang Xiuran immediately said, “If your beauty standard is Qingfan, you probably won’t find a partner in the future.”
Jiang Xuenian said, “Of course the standard isn’t Qingqing. Qingqing, in my heart, belongs to the pinnacle of beauty. As for my standard, I’d have to meet the person to know if they meet it.”
“So the standard could still be Qingfan?”
“You’re not wrong in saying that, it seems…”
“Anything else? Besides looks, any requirements for personality?”
Jiang Xuenian felt something was off, but Tang Xiuran was urging her quickly, giving her no time to think. Jiang Xuenian could only continue to answer the next question.
“I have no requirements for personality. They can be cold or warm, as long as they are kind, any personality is lovely.”
Tang Xiuran: …She only asked two questions, and they perfectly matched Qingfan. Is it really possible that Jiang Xuenian doesn’t like Qingfan???
