After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 2

Han Shuangshuang was usually an omnivorous reader. As long as something caught her interest, she would take a look at it. Although she had read quite a few spicy novels before, this was still her first time having such intimate contact with another person.

She had never expected that her first kiss would actually be given to the great villain inside a book she had transmigrated into—a paper person.

She had known what her orientation was from a very young age. Because her parents had passed away, Han Shuangshuang had lived with her uncle and aunt when she was little. The feeling of living under someone else’s roof was not pleasant. From a young age, she had known that her uncle and aunt did not actually like her. They were only coveting the large sum of money her parents had left behind after their deaths.

Fortunately, that money had been deposited by her maternal grandparents into an account under her own name. They only transferred a certain amount of living expenses to her uncle and aunt every year, so after she was admitted into university and came of age, she immediately moved out of her uncle and aunt’s home, taking the money with her as well.

Because of that, she had never dated anyone from childhood to adulthood. When she saw a beautiful older sister, she only dared to watch from afar and never dared to go up and get close.

She had a preference for the gloomy beauty type in books: devoted, paranoid, frail and delicate, the kind that stirred up one’s desire to protect them.

Shen Yuru’s lips were very soft. Just like Shen Yuru herself, they carried little warmth, only a faint coolness.

There was no scent of perfume on Shen Yuru’s body. Instead, she had a pleasant natural fragrance, clean and sharp, like mountain spring water high above and out of reach.

It was only when Han Shuangshuang tasted blood that she finally came back to her senses.

Then she saw Shen Yuru, who was only a dozen or so centimeters away from her, glaring at her gloomily.

Han Shuangshuang immediately jumped up.

“I can explain, Sister Shen. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Shen Yuru propped one hand against the ground and slowly stood up. Her face was truly far too beautiful. Even her frailty carried a trace of beauty.

Shen Yuru slowly wiped away the blood at the corner of her lips with her thumb. Then she lifted those phoenix eyes. Her gaze rested faintly on Han Shuangshuang, making it impossible to tell whether there was anger in it.

“It’s fine.”

Han Shuangshuang let out a breath of relief. After all, the current Shen Yuru had not yet grown into that ruthless and cruel great villain. Right now, she was still that pitiful little thing who was being bullied.

However, Han Shuangshuang had read the novel too quickly, so she had overlooked some of the plot. She was still unclear on exactly why Shen Yuru had fallen to this point. She only knew that because of her heart condition, Shen Yuru was treated as an abandoned child by her family. But she was still a child of a wealthy family, at least. Surely she should not have been reduced to such a miserable state?

“Thank you, Student Han. If you hadn’t stepped in and warned me today, I would have been pushed into the water. You kindly helped me, so how could I blame you?”

Shen Yuru’s voice was clear and light, so pleasant to hear that it struck Han Shuangshuang right in the heart.

It was like having been caught in the rain herself, so she wished to hold up an umbrella for others within her ability. Han Shuangshuang had grown up too lonely and bitter, so when she saw Shen Yuru, who was equally pitiful and unloved, a desire to protect her rose inside her.

Shen Yuru’s lashes were very long. When she spoke, she did not look directly into Han Shuangshuang’s eyes. Instead, she lowered her gaze slightly.

Shen Yuru’s lips had originally been pale. Just now, when their lips touched, a small cut had opened on them. Tiny beads of blood welled up, staining those lips with a faint trace of red.

[System: Congratulations, Host, on activating the system.

Host has already transmigrated into the book world. You can only change the original owner’s ending through your own efforts.

Mission One: Lower Shen Yuru’s blackening value.

Mission Two: Heal Shen Yuru’s heart.]

Han Shuangshuang froze. She understood now. The male and female leads were not the real protagonists at all. The female villain, Shen Yuru, was the true protagonist. Otherwise, why would all her missions after transmigrating into the book world be related to Shen Yuru?

She could still understand the first mission, because Shen Yuru’s blackening had been caused by the male and female leads. As long as she stopped the things the male lead did to Shen Yuru, prevented Shen Yuru from falling in love with the male lead, and kept Shen Yuru from being emotionally wounded, she could effectively reduce the possibility of Shen Yuru blackening.

But what was with the second mission, healing her heart? She was not a medical student.

[System: Host has raised a good question. The ways for Host to heal Shen Yuru’s heart include holding hands, hugging, kissing, and even higher levels of physical contact. There is no limit to the number of times per day. As for how much healing progress each instance of physical contact can increase, that will be analyzed and calculated by the system. The increase in healing progress will differ each time, and it will also take into account Shen Yuru’s trust in and affection for Host.

Because Host has just transmigrated into the book world, the system level is currently too low. Host cannot unlock more content for now. Please work hard to complete your missions in order to obtain more information and better complete them. After Host completes the missions, you can change the original owner’s ending as a cannon-fodder female supporting character. At that time, whether you choose to return to your original world or continue staying in the book will be entirely up to Host’s own wishes.]

Han Shuangshuang was dumbfounded. Was this not basically forcing her to act like a hooligan?

[System: Warm reminder to Host. Host must create opportunities for physical contact with Shen Yuru every day. If there is a day when Host does not have physical contact with Shen Yuru and does not increase the healing progress of Shen Yuru’s heart, all healing progress Host has accumulated before then will be reset to zero. Please keep this firmly in mind, Host.]

Han Shuangshuang knew that after the original cannon-fodder female supporting character’s intelligence had been lowered, she had done many death-seeking things before. For example, after marrying Shen Yuru, she had no morals as the top at all. She went out fooling around every day, cheated on Shen Yuru, humiliated Shen Yuru in every possible way, said all kinds of unbearable things every day, and played around very wildly. But those were things the malicious female supporting character, the original owner, had done. They could not be counted on her head.

Besides, now that she had transmigrated over, the plot had not even reached that point yet. Why settle accounts in advance?

Shen Yuru clutched her chest. Her breathing was slightly hurried, and her nostrils flared. Some physiological tears welled up around those phoenix eyes, making them appear even more clear and sparkling.

Han Shuangshuang hurriedly walked over to support Shen Yuru.

Forget it, forget it. She would just consider this a good deed.

“As long as Sister Shen doesn’t mind my offensive behavior just now, that’s enough. I’ll send Sister Shen back to the dorm first. Sister Shen should lie down and rest properly.”

[System: Congratulations, Host, on having physical contact with Shen Yuru. Shen Yuru’s heart healing progress has increased by 1%. Because the person who shares Host’s name is the malicious female supporting character in the book, after Host transmigrated over, your luck value is negative 100. Host will encounter many absurd situations, so please be mentally prepared.]

Han Shuangshuang supported Shen Yuru as they walked in the direction of Shen Yuru’s dorm. Her mind was filled entirely with the system’s notification sounds.

For a moment, she did not notice that Shen Yuru was examining her with those cool phoenix eyes.

Shen Yuru had long known that her family had arranged a marriage alliance for her.

She had secretly investigated and learned that her marriage partner was named Han Shuangshuang.

She had always been the abandoned child of her family. Because of her poor health, she had been placed early on in a remote, rather cold villa to grow up alone. To the people of her family, her final use was to form a marriage alliance with another wealthy family for the sake of the family’s interests.

She had investigated Han Shuangshuang in advance. She had heard that Han Shuangshuang had been unruly since childhood and liked to fool around with a group of improper people. In any case, she was not exactly a decent person.

And the reason Shen Yuru had been tricked out by Han Shuangshuang’s clumsy excuse today was precisely because she had known early on that the person using that excuse to call her out was Han Shuangshuang. She wanted to see for herself what kind of person this future fiancée, whom she had never met, truly was.

But this series of actions from Han Shuangshuang left her somewhat unable to figure her out.

Logically speaking, Han Shuangshuang should not know about their engagement at this point. The two of them had no relationship whatsoever.

Han Shuangshuang had no reason to turn around and help her, no reason to speak on her side, and no reason to expose Long Aodi.

“Look, look! Isn’t that Han Shuangshuang? The person beside her couldn’t be Shen Yuru, could it?”

“How did the two of them end up together? Don’t tell me Han Shuangshuang managed to get her hands on Shen Yuru?”

“Wasn’t it said that the person Shen Yuru likes is Long Aodi? These past few days, I’ve seen Long Aodi constantly running over to Shen Yuru.”

“No matter what Han Shuangshuang is like, her father is still a business magnate in S City. Although Han Shuangshuang’s brain is a little busted, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Han family. The future inheritance rights are also hers. That younger sister of hers is an illegitimate daughter, after all. She can’t be shown off in public. Of course Han Shuangshuang can play however she wants, with such an impressive father backing her up.”

“Then this Shen Yuru is pretty scheming too. She knows she’s useless, so she climbed onto the most shallow and brainless one, someone she can easily manipulate.”

Listening to the surrounding people chattering away, Han Shuangshuang felt like her brain was about to explode.

The university the original owner attended was one with an extremely serious divide. One type of student could only get in with excellent grades. The other type was shoved in by rich families using money.

The original owner belonged to the latter category. Just like the original owner, there were also many children from wealthy families here.

In the first semester of her freshman year, the original owner had failed ten out of twelve courses.

As for Shen Yuru, she was a junior this year. In the novel, she was a physically frail but extremely intelligent villain, ranked first in her entire grade.

[System: Please face these rumors head-on, Host, and think of a way within ten seconds to make these noisy supporting characters shut up with a single sentence.

After the mission succeeds, the function showing Shen Yuru’s blackening value will be unlocked.]

Han Shuangshuang turned her head and shouted, “Do you people think that just because someone doesn’t speak, they’re an idiot?”

The sentence was extremely arrogant, extremely imposing, and also came out a little indistinct because she had bitten her tongue.

In short, whether those people had not heard her clearly, had frozen in place, or had been frightened by Han Shuangshuang’s momentum, they all looked at one another and actually shut their mouths without saying another word.

[System: Congratulations, Host. Mission completed. Shen Yuru’s blackening value is now displayed on the system panel. Host, please silently recite “blackening value” in your heart using your thoughts, and it will appear in front of you.]

Han Shuangshuang looked at the three large numbers in front of her.

“System, are you joking with me? Tell me what the maximum number is. It can’t be 100, right?”

Han Shuangshuang stiffly turned her neck and tilted her head to look at Shen Yuru, who was standing beside her. There was a faint, calm smile at the corner of Shen Yuru’s lips, but not the slightest trace of amusement in it.

“Sister Shen, actually, I’m very innocent and pure…”

Help! Not only had she kissed a villain whose blackening value was 100, she had also treated her like an idiot.

She had started the game right in the middle of a battlefield. What was she supposed to do?
