After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 19

This time, Shen Yuru had no patience and did not want to listen to Han Shuangshuang’s defense.

Especially not after Han Shuangshuang had said that extremely misleading sentence at the start.

Shen Yuru turned and left, not even giving Han Shuangshuang a chance to explain.

Words like “eat her up” were something only Han Shuangshuang could say so easily.

She had no shame at all. Shen Yuru was not one of those casual women.

Shen Yuru did not know how someone like her, who was usually so composed and restrained, had suddenly become this angry. Ignoring Han Shuangshuang’s panicked expression, she said, “Junior’s coursework has already ended, and your make-up exams are all finished. If Junior listened seriously to my lessons during this period, you’ll definitely pass everything. Of course, if you weren’t serious and didn’t put your mind on this, then pretend I said nothing.”

Even without listening to the system’s nonsense, Han Shuangshuang knew Shen Yuru was in a terrible mood right now, and the kind of terrible where she was wandering on the edge of exploding.

After all, she had even started calling her “Junior.”

So Han Shuangshuang could not care about anything else. She immediately jogged after Shen Yuru and grabbed her wrist.

Shen Yuru was forced to stop. She turned and looked at Han Shuangshuang’s eyes, which always became innocent whenever Han Shuangshuang faced her.

“Even if Sister Shen is angry, you have to tell me the reason, right? Even criminals are given a reason before execution, telling them what crime they committed. Sister Shen can’t treat me differently like this.”

A cold smile suddenly curved across Shen Yuru’s already unhappy face.

“I’m treating you differently? Isn’t Younger Sister Han the one who loves treating everyone equally the most? You’re this passionate with everyone. As long as you’re interested, you stick yourself to them like it costs nothing, like a dog-skin plaster that can’t be shaken off. Even those filthy words come so naturally to you. I’d actually like to know how many people Younger Sister Han has said those words to, and how many times you’ve said them, that you can say them with such a calm face, without blushing or your heart racing.”

Shen Yuru’s tone was strange.

To say she was not angry, her words were full of mockery. But to say she was angry, her tone was light, and she did not reveal much fury.

Han Shuangshuang wrinkled her nose and inexplicably smelled something sour.

All right. Generally, she called this kind of thing being passive-aggressive.

There was nothing she could do. She was the one thick-skinned enough to cling to Shen Yuru.

It was all that damned system’s fault.

“I really haven’t said it to anyone else. Everything I say to Sister Shen is sincere. Every promise I’ve made to Sister Shen was carefully thought through. There wasn’t even the slightest deception.”

That was the truth. The one from before was the original owner, not her.

The novel had only given the original owner this kind of setting, but it had not given the original owner any benefits at all.

Before adulthood, it had not dared to write anything at all. The original owner was still untouched even now. Her first kiss was probably the one Han Shuangshuang gave away to Shen Yuru on the first day she transmigrated here.

That was not only the original owner’s first kiss, but also Han Shuangshuang’s first kiss!

Besides, there was nothing wrong with a few sweet words. Who did not like hearing words meant to coax them? In her original world, after living under someone else’s roof for so many years, she could say pretty words easily.

“Sister Shen is so beautiful that even immortals would be moved to descend to the mortal world. I’m only an ordinary person, so isn’t it natural for me to be shocked by Sister Shen’s beauty? And of course I’d naturally develop the desire to get close to you. I’m not deliberately trying to take advantage of Sister Shen. Sister Shen carries a very high weight in my heart. You are sacred and inviolable. But reason is the most fragile thing in the world. I’m not having an easy time either.”

Shen Yuru gave a cold snort. No one knew whether she had listened or not.

“You’re still trying to deceive me. Such a huge ex-girlfriend follows you around every day, yet you still want to establish some pure and innocent image in front of me?”

The moment Shen Yuru finished saying this, she immediately regretted it. She had not expected to directly ask the question that had been lingering in her mind all this time.

She rarely had moments where she spoke without thinking.

What did Shi Nianxue and Han Shuangshuang’s relationship have to do with her?

Asking like this made it seem as though she cared about Han Shuangshuang very much.

“So Sister Shen misunderstood. Why didn’t Sister Shen say so earlier? Shi Nianxue and I don’t really have any relationship. She was adopted by my mother. When we were young, the two of us were sisters. After we grew up, she actually went over to my stepmother’s side, so our relationship broke apart. Then she went abroad to study. Who knows why she suddenly came back and even ran in front of me to show off, claiming to be my ex-girlfriend? Maybe back then, I agreed to let her occupy that identity to block unwanted admirers.”

Han Shuangshuang rubbed her chin.

The character introductions the system had given her were too sloppy. She had pieced together this analysis herself by feeling things out.

Shen Yuru still felt that Han Shuangshuang’s words sounded strange, like she was explaining her relationship with an ex to her current partner.

Seeing Shen Yuru’s expression ease, Han Shuangshuang immediately pressed the advantage. She hugged Shen Yuru’s arm, clinging to it while acting spoiled.

“I really didn’t think that much. I only wanted to thank Sister Shen. If Sister Shen doesn’t like that way of saying it, then I’ll change the wording. I’ll treat Sister Shen to a meal. How about that?”

It seemed the mission could not be completed, so she might as well add some benefits at a time like this.

She could brush up Shen Yuru’s favorability and lower Shen Yuru’s blackening value a little.

Shen Yuru lifted her chin and said nothing. Her perfect, smooth jawline seemed to invisibly display just how stubborn she was.

“There’s no need to explain so much to me. I don’t care about any of this. I’m only doing this to complete the school’s requirements.”

Han Shuangshuang nodded frantically. Although Shen Yuru said that, her distant and cold aura had quietly retreated, and she had softened quite a bit.

“Yes, yes, yes. Sister Shen is magnanimous, so forgive me this once. Besides, Sister Shen should learn more about me. That way, you won’t misunderstand me next time.”

Shen Yuru looked at Han Shuangshuang’s obediently pleasing face with those phoenix eyes and pressed her lips together.

She could still feel the sensation at the corner of her lips.

By contrast, this Han Shuangshuang looked heartless and carefree, without the slightest oddness.

Her first kiss had long since been lost to Han Shuangshuang.

Han Shuangshuang cared so little… But that made sense. She had so many exes. She had probably kissed others so much she was tired of it.

Shen Yuru raised the back of her hand and harshly wiped her lips.

Han Shuangshuang had originally planned to pull Shen Yuru out of the grove, but unexpectedly, an icy gaze like knives suddenly came from behind her. Although the back of her head was facing Shen Yuru, her whole body still inexplicably shivered.

Why was she angry again all of a sudden?

Shen Yuru said, “I’m not angry. Don’t ask me. You decide where to eat.”

Han Shuangshuang: …?

She agreed to eat with her, but she was angry again.

Doggo did not understand.

……

Originally, in order to resolve the awkwardness, Han Shuangshuang had boldly pretended to be rich. But when she opened her phone, she only had 250 yuan in her pocket.

Han Shuangshuang stood by the campus lake, feeling the pleasant cool breeze, and became a little more clearheaded.

That was right. She had transmigrated into a brainless cannon-fodder female supporting character and had unexpectedly gained the poverty attribute too.

With this tiny amount of money, she could not afford the high-end restaurants near the school.

She might as well eat at a familiar small eatery.

The taste of snack shops anywhere was more or less the same.

And so, Han Shuangshuang and Shen Yuru silently walked along the road, just like that covering over two li, yet neither of them noticed.

Han Shuangshuang knew Shen Yuru was angry, so she did not dare speak lightly. As for Shen Yuru, she was holding in a breath of anger she could neither release nor digest, yet Han Shuangshuang just happened to be silently acting like silence was golden.

Shen Yuru let out a long breath and calmed her emotions a little.

It was all because of this Han Shuangshuang.

Before her, Shen Yuru had never been this irritated.

When the phone map navigation announced that they had arrived, only then did Han Shuangshuang react.

They had walked more than two thousand meters from the school to this place. Shen Yuru was also a little surprised.

She actually did not feel tired. Her hand unconsciously covered her chest. Her heart was beating normally, without the slightest discomfort.

Shen Yuru frowned slightly. She truly was somewhat unused to this less-than-refined place.

She chose a corner and sat down, while Han Shuangshuang could only trot obediently to the counter to order.

Who would have thought that the moment she lifted her head, she would see a familiar person?

“Long Aodi?”

Long Aodi had seen the two of them the moment they entered and had wanted to turn and leave, but he had not managed to get away.

At school, he had concealed his family situation and created for himself the image of a proud son of heaven from a happy, well-off family.

But after school, he had deliberately found a remote small restaurant to work as a server and earn living expenses.

He had chosen somewhere this far away precisely to avoid being discovered by people from the university.

Unexpectedly, Han Shuangshuang still ran into him.

Han Shuangshuang smelled danger.

But Long Aodi spoke first. “Keep this secret for me, and I won’t make a fuss about the things you did at school before.”

“My fate is mine, not heaven’s. Being born into a family like this is not my fault. A young miss like you would never understand.”

Han Shuangshuang looked at Long Aodi’s hostile gaze. It was as though she had done something to him.

“Don’t oil me, and don’t oil Sister Shen either. Go oil the heavens instead.”

Han Shuangshuang casually finished ordering and returned to her seat.

Looking at Han Shuangshuang acting like a young miss experiencing ordinary life, Long Aodi gritted his teeth. He felt that Han Shuangshuang must look down on him and was secretly mocking him in her heart.

Walking into the back kitchen, Long Aodi thought of Shen Yuru’s face. As if staking everything on one throw, he added something into the drinks.

He had to obtain Shen Yuru. This was his best opportunity to turn his life around.

Shen Yuru had naturally also seen Long Aodi at the cashier counter, but she did not even lift her eyelids.

Han Shuangshuang sat across from Shen Yuru. Seeing Shen Yuru’s gaze, she silently blocked Shen Yuru’s line of sight toward Long Aodi.

“Sister Shen really is impressive. I’m sitting right across from you, yet Sister Shen’s eyes can still hold someone else.”

Han Shuangshuang pursed her lips, looking passive-aggressive and jealous.

The corner of Shen Yuru’s mouth curved slightly. The gloom between her brows and eyes instantly swept away, as though she had been coaxed.

“So sour.”
