After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 16
Han Shuangshuang felt as though she had suffered a direct impact.
In her original world, she had been a shy, well-behaved child. When had she ever done something like forcibly kissing someone?
Hearing Shen Yuru’s “nuclearly kind” words, which were practically on the level of a nuclear weapon, Han Shuangshuang lowered her head and did not dare meet Shen Yuru’s gaze at all.
At a time like this, explaining was just covering up, and covering up meant it was true.
No matter what she said, it would be the same as farting. It would have no persuasive power whatsoever.
Shen Yuru felt the pain inside her mouth.
The calmer she became, the more that pain seemed to magnify.
This Han Shuangshuang really was impressive.
Although her head was lowered and she could not see Shen Yuru’s face clearly, Han Shuangshuang could feel the powerful aura Shen Yuru was giving off.
It was as if Shen Yuru were saying to the back of her head, “Impressive. Truly impressive.”
[System: Warm reminder to Host. Shen Yuru’s heart healing progress has increased by 5%. Shen Yuru’s total heart healing progress is currently 25%. Please keep up the good work!]
Hearing the system notification, Han Shuangshuang’s gloomy mood improved a little.
[System: Warm reminder to Host. Shen Yuru’s blackening value has decreased by 5%. Shen Yuru’s current blackening value is 87%.]
Han Shuangshuang’s mood became a little more wonderful.
So sure enough, if a person was shameless, they were invincible under heaven.
For the sake of this little life of hers, what did sacrificing a bit of integrity count for?
[System: Host, isn’t this the right way to think? If your little life is gone, what use is integrity?]
This dog system was making sarcastic remarks again.
Wasn’t she only in this mess because it had tricked her?
Now she felt like her mouth and body were both full of Shen Yuru’s scent.
“Sister Shen, isn’t this all your fault? If Sister Shen had chosen me right from the start, would so many things have happened afterward?”
Han Shuangshuang muttered quietly, pouting in accusation.
Shen Yuru was so angry she almost laughed.
This Han Shuangshuang really was good at turning the tables on others.
A cold smile curved at the corner of Shen Yuru’s mouth, but it accidentally tugged at the painful wound Han Shuangshuang had bitten.
Shen Yuru let out a soft hiss.
Han Shuangshuang guiltily swallowed again.
At that moment, Shen Yuru’s phone suddenly vibrated.
After Shen Yuru glanced at the message on it, her expression immediately turned serious.
Then she left at once.
Seeing Shen Yuru leave, Han Shuangshuang immediately let out a breath of relief.
After taking a while to recover, she also walked out of the grove.
But before she could relax, she heard that sweet-to-the-point-of-cloying cutesy voice again.
“You really do have plenty of romantic luck. You just kicked me aside, and you already turned around and hooked up with someone else.”
Han Shuangshuang turned her head to look.
She found Shi Nianxue leaning against a small tree not far away, looking at her with an unreadable gaze.
One Shen Yuru was already enough for her to handle.
What was going on with this Shi Nianxue now?
Shi Nianxue walked forward, the corner of her mouth slightly curved, like a smiling fox harboring ill intentions.
She sized Han Shuangshuang up from head to toe, finally landing her gaze on Han Shuangshuang’s split lip before clicking her tongue twice.
“That really was intense. Han Shuangshuang, you only recently became an adult, yet you already play this wildly?”
Han Shuangshuang truly could not bear listening to Shi Nianxue’s passive-aggressive tone.
Although she did not know what had happened between the original owner and Shi Nianxue, judging from the current situation, it definitely had not ended amicably.
Their breakup must have been ugly.
“Let the past stay in the past, all right? Just treat it as me not being worthy of you.”
Han Shuangshuang could only use this universal formula to solve things.
Shi Nianxue gave a cold snort. Those exquisite big eyes stared at her as she slowly approached.
Han Shuangshuang subconsciously covered her mouth.
Shi Nianxue clicked her tongue. “It’s already reached this point? You’re guarding your chastity for Shen Yuru?”
Han Shuangshuang felt like Shi Nianxue seemed angry.
She could not be blamed.
Although, because she had been an orphan since childhood, she was very sensitive to emotions, when it came to people with unpredictable temperaments like Shen Yuru and Shi Nianxue, she truly had no idea why they were angry.
Seeing Han Shuangshuang’s guarded appearance, Shi Nianxue suddenly lost interest.
“Half a year has passed, and you really are becoming more and more promising. I obtained a qualification to study abroad. If you want to leave, I can take you with me.”
Shi Nianxue’s words were a little inexplicable.
But Han Shuangshuang knew that right now, she could not.
Not only could she not, she could not even leave Shen Yuru for a single day.
Otherwise, her little life would not be protected.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I think staying at school right now is pretty good.”
Shi Nianxue froze. Her eyes, which had not held much of a smile to begin with, turned even colder. “For Shen Yuru, you can even tolerate your current environment now?”
Han Shuangshuang nodded.
What else was she supposed to do?
Shen Yuru was her lifeline right now.
……
After returning to the dorm, Han Shuangshuang still could not figure out what Shi Nianxue’s final gaze had meant.
For once, all four people in the dorm were present.
[System: Sorry, Host. Because the content of the book unfolds around the male and female leads, the original malicious female supporting character has very few scenes in the book, let alone characters related to the original owner but unrelated to the male and female leads. They were not recorded in the book and need to be unlocked by Host yourself.]
Han Shuangshuang saw Yan Huan.
Her eyes lit up.
Yan Huan seemed to know everything.
There were four people in the dorm in total: Wu Huimin, Bai Liangfen, Han Shuangshuang, and Yan Huan.
Bai Liangfen was the female lead’s follower.
She was the lackey Han Ruhua had taken in at university.
Naturally, the moment she saw Han Shuangshuang, she began speaking in that passive-aggressive way.
“How can the difference between sisters be so big? Then again, that makes sense. After all, they weren’t born from the same mother.”
Han Shuangshuang had just wanted to talk to Yan Huan when Bai Liangfen interrupted her.
Gold-digger.
Han Shuangshuang narrowed her eyes. It seemed many of the original owner’s bad rumors had been spread from this mouth of hers.
Bai Liangfen knew Han Shuangshuang had an explosive temper, but she was all thunder and little rain.
Relying on Han Ruhua backing her up, she had caused Han Shuangshuang no small amount of anger.
“What a joke. You even attended some support meeting, but in the end, you’re still a cheap slut who got left until the very end with no one wanting you. Like mother, like daughter.”
With a slap, the sound rang out.
Han Shuangshuang looked coldly at the arrogant Bai Liangfen and rubbed her wrist.
Bai Liangfen covered her burning, painful cheek and stared at Han Shuangshuang in disbelief.
“You… you actually dared to hit me?”
Han Shuangshuang’s voice was dark and eerie. “I am the grand young miss of the Han family. What wouldn’t I dare to do?”
Yan Huan shook her phone. “I recorded everything, you know. Some people who want to act one way in front of others and another behind their backs should weigh things carefully first.”
Han Shuangshuang had originally only wanted to change her cannon-fodder ending.
She had not expected these little minions to dance right in front of her.
Not bothering with them did not mean she was easy to bully.
The original owner could do nothing about being verbally mocked because that scumbag father of hers sided with Han Ruhua.
But Han Shuangshuang did not care about that scumbag father.
Against this kind of dog relying on another’s power, hitting back directly was enough.
Sure enough, Bai Liangfen quieted down a lot. For a long while, she did not dare say anything.
Wu Huimin secretly recorded everything from the upper bunk.
Not long after, Bai Liangfen ran out while covering her face.
Han Shuangshuang sat tiredly on the chair, feeling that the road ahead was bleak.
Yan Huan patted her shoulder.
“What are you thinking about so seriously? But you finally made a move for once. If you hadn’t, I was about to slap her for you.”
Han Shuangshuang pursed her lips. When there was danger, Yan Huan was a safeguard. When there was no danger, Yan Huan herself was the greatest danger.
“By the way, you and Shi Nianxue… Wait, didn’t the two of you break things off cleanly? Why did she come looking for you again?”
The moment Yan Huan said this, Han Shuangshuang sat up straight.
But she had no way to answer, so she could only sigh and first coax information out of Yan Huan.
As if Yan Huan understood, she continued, “Could this be one of those things where people don’t cherish what they have until they lose it? But Shi Nianxue doesn’t look like she still has lingering feelings for you either.”
Listening to Yan Huan’s chatter, Han Shuangshuang roughly sorted things out.
Shi Nianxue had been adopted from an orphanage by the original owner’s mother. Shi Nianxue was one year older than the original owner, and the two had grown up together. Later, after the original owner’s scumbag father cheated and the original owner’s mother died, only Shi Nianxue and the original owner were left to depend on each other. The original owner relied on Shi Nianxue, but Shi Nianxue drew a clear line between them and chose to take refuge with the scumbag father. The two of them parted ways after that.
The original owner became increasingly rebellious and mixed around with shady friends.
Han Shuangshuang’s heart suddenly thudded.
So, with the original owner’s ending being so miserable, could Shi Nianxue have had a hand in it too?
Shi Nianxue clearly looked like she wanted to scheme against her.
“That’s long in the past. What lingering feelings are there to talk about? I was just a pitiful simp. Let’s not mention it anymore.”
Now, Han Shuangshuang became even more determined to cling tightly to Shen Yuru’s thigh.
……
After the support pairing was confirmed, for the sake of midterms and make-up exams, Han Shuangshuang stuck to Shen Yuru’s butt every day.
She followed Shen Yuru to soak in the library.
At noon, she studied with Shen Yuru in the classroom.
They ate meals together. The only thing missing was returning to the dorm to sleep together.
After sending Shen Yuru back to her dorm, Han Shuangshuang discovered that only Shen Yuru was left in the dorm. Those disgusting roommates were all gone.
Shen Yuru lowered her eyes and said淡淡, “The things that went missing were too valuable. They were expelled by the school for theft and are currently still detained.”
Han Shuangshuang shivered all over.
Because Shen Yuru was too calm, and she said it far too lightly.
She seemed like someone high above, a person in control of power, indifferently overlooking the life and death of insignificant people.
After living fearfully like this for half a month, Shen Yuru’s healing progress only increased by 0.1 every day.
Han Shuangshuang felt like she was living in deep water and scorching fire.
Because she discovered that Shi Nianxue kept appearing before her and Shen Yuru from time to time.
She would greet them with that smile that did not reach her eyes.
Every time this happened, Han Shuangshuang could clearly feel Shen Yuru’s air pressure drop all at once.
Then Shen Yuru would glare at her.
As though accusing her of attracting bees and butterflies.
Han Shuangshuang glanced at the time and began acting shamelessly with Shen Yuru.
“It’s already ten-thirty, Sister Shen. Why don’t we stop here for today? I’m so sleepy. Isn’t Sister Shen sleepy? You stay up so late every night, yet Sister Shen doesn’t even have dark circles. This must be natural beauty. It really makes people envious.”
Because of staying up late to study, Han Shuangshuang’s puppy eyes had already turned into panda eyes.
Han Shuangshuang reached out toward Shen Yuru, wanting to seize the final opportunity to increase some healing progress, but Shen Yuru slapped the back of her hand with a smack.
Inside the classroom, only the two of them were left.
Han Shuangshuang saw Shen Yuru’s lips move slightly, about to say yes.
At that moment, movement came from the window in the classroom door.
Shi Nianxue still wore that exquisite fake smile as she waved at Han Shuangshuang.
Han Shuangshuang suddenly had a bad premonition.
And Shen Yuru’s originally relaxed mood instantly dropped to freezing point. For some reason, whenever she saw Han Shuangshuang connected to Shi Nianxue, it was as if a breath was lodged in her chest, unable to rise or fall. She was terribly irritated, yet she did not know what this emotion was. It inexplicably made her entire person become strange.
Shen Yuru sat across from Han Shuangshuang. After seeing Shi Nianxue, the corner of her mouth paused.
She tapped Han Shuangshuang’s book with the end of her pen.
Han Shuangshuang saw the corner of Shen Yuru’s mouth slowly curve upward. Shen Yuru spoke, her expression unusually kind and amiable.
“You have an exam tomorrow. Tonight… we’ll study all night. Student Han wouldn’t be thinking of rushing to see your ex-girlfriend and disobeying me, would you?”
Han Shuangshuang felt that when Shen Yuru said the words “ex-girlfriend,” she seemed to slightly emphasize them, carrying quite a bit of gritted-teeth meaning.
“How could that be? Sister Shen’s words are an imperial decree to me.”
Shen Yuru rested her head on her fingers, those phoenix eyes lifting slightly as she gave a lukewarm hum.
“At least you know what’s good for you.”
