After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 7

Han Shuangshuang and Yan Huan returned to the dorm. Yan Huan had already drunk too much, so the moment they got back, she collapsed and fell asleep.

There had been many people on the sports field, so no one had noticed that Yan Huan had been drinking.

Wu Huimin said quietly, “Everyone’s already asleep. You two keep it down. After you get into bed, help me turn off the light.”

Yan Huan, who had already lain down, suddenly came back to life like a corpse and yanked open her curtain.

“There are only four people in this dorm. Bai Liangfen isn’t here, so aside from me and Han Shuangshuang, you’re the only one in the room. What do you mean, ‘everyone’s already asleep’? Aren’t you just hiding behind your curtain and secretly studying? As if anyone wants to compete with you.”

Han Shuangshuang suddenly had a bit of an impression.

Because this Wu Huimin actually had quite a few scenes.

Wu Huimin was from the same hometown as Long Aodi. She usually spoke very little, looked plain, and had heavy blunt bangs. She was the type with little presence in a crowd. But she had one important setting: she had always been secretly in love with Long Aodi.

The reason Long Aodi had such smooth sailing at university, obtained some information about the girls, and successfully won over the female lead was due in no small part to her efforts.

At first, Long Aodi had placed his attention on Shen Yuru.

Because Long Aodi had a full-on phoenix man setting.

Long Aodi’s family background was not good, but his sights were high and his abilities were low. He was especially ambitious and believed he would definitely carve out a world for himself. But after arriving at university, he was suppressed by other rich second-generation students and could not make a name for himself at all.

Now Long Aodi was already a junior. If he still could not find a way out, then once he graduated, he would become an ordinary corporate slave. He would no longer have any of the glory he enjoyed at school.

That was why he shifted his attention onto women, wanting to create an opportunity that would allow him to struggle fifty years less.

As for Shen Yuru, her family background was even greater, and her reputation was even more impressive. Long Aodi had not thought too much at first.

Shen Yuru was beautiful and good at studying. At the beginning, Long Aodi did not understand the twists and turns within wealthy families, nor did he know that Shen Yuru was not favored.

He thought he could gain many benefits from Shen Yuru, but after several attempts, he gradually sensed that something was wrong. Later, when the female lead delivered herself to his door, he switched targets.

After analyzing it this way, Han Shuangshuang suddenly understood.

That book with twisted values was full of long-winded plotlines. She had only been tricked in by the synopsis, and the more she read, the more off it felt. Now, based on her analysis, it seemed the reason Shen Yuru blackened was because the male lead had given her warmth and care.

He had been the ray of light in her dark life.

But Long Aodi had ulterior motives. After Shen Yuru discovered that, she felt she had been deceived, and that became the most crucial point in her blackening.

It was the final straw that broke Shen Yuru.

Han Shuangshuang became even more determined not to let Long Aodi get close to Shen Yuru. As long as none of Long Aodi’s schemes succeeded, she could delay Shen Yuru’s blackening. Then she could slowly heal her, guide Shen Yuru toward positivity, sunshine, and progress, and let Shen Yuru see the beauty of the world.

When the plot developed to the point where she and Shen Yuru became engaged, she could come to a wonderful agreement with Shen Yuru. The two of them would each seek their own true love. They would not get married, not live together, not make Shen Yuru angry, not hurt Shen Yuru, and not cheat on Shen Yuru.

Then wouldn’t her fate as a cannon-fodder female supporting character be broken just like that, allowing her to welcome a beautiful new life?

After Han Shuangshuang climbed into bed to rest, Wu Huimin secretly pulled open a tiny crack in her curtain, pushed up her thick glasses, and stared at Han Shuangshuang’s bed with an uncomfortable, peeping gaze.

Then she quietly picked up her phone and sent Long Aodi a message.

Wu Huimin: [Senior, Han Shuangshuang is already asleep. It seems she didn’t tattle to the teacher. I figured she wouldn’t dare. Don’t worry, Senior. I don’t think you did anything wrong in this matter at all. It was all because Han Shuangshuang kept meddling in other people’s business. She’s really annoying. I’ll always stand on Senior’s side.]

Long Aodi: [I know I didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m not afraid of her telling the teacher. Thank you for comforting me.]

Long Aodi: [Do you know why Han Shuangshuang suddenly got close to Shen Yuru recently?]

Han Shuangshuang’s reputation at school was not good. She played around wildly, and her orientation was not clear. The people she was usually close with were beautiful women.

Han Shuangshuang had a bad temper. She basically never watched anyone else’s expression and only gave others looks instead. The only ones who could make her restrain herself a little were beauties.

Long Aodi did not want Han Shuangshuang to become an unexpected variable that affected his plan.

Wu Huimin: [I’m not too sure either, but I heard from the other dorms that there seems to be some connection between their elders? If Senior wants to know, I’ll help you ask around some more.]

She worked so hard in her studies precisely so she could catch up to Senior’s footsteps.

Their families lived in the same place. During the holidays, she had even visited Senior’s parents. Senior’s parents were also very satisfied with her, and she herself had confidence that she could become a good wife.

Although Senior had never made things clear between them, after all, both of them were still studying. She knew Senior’s focus was all on his studies.

She liked this kind of man who kept working hard toward his goals, so once Senior graduated, she would have the two families’ parents properly discuss this matter.

Wu Huimin saying this was also a form of probing. She could not let any woman who got close to Senior slip past her.

Long Aodi: [No need. Midterms are coming up soon. You should study properly and not put your attention on these irrelevant things. I promised your parents that I would properly supervise you. It’s getting late, so go to sleep early.]

After Wu Huimin replied with a shy emoji, she immediately put down her phone, took off her glasses, curled entirely under her blanket, and wriggled around in excitement.

As expected, Senior had no interest in anyone else. His attention was all on her, and he cared about her so much.

She had to work twice as hard, live up to Senior’s expectations, and become a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

……

Early the next morning.

Han Shuangshuang got out of bed in a daze and went to class by muscle memory.

When she reached her seat, she discovered a thick stack of self-criticisms on her desk.

Han Shuangshuang woke up at once. Only then did she belatedly realize that she had transmigrated into a book.

And every day, she also had an important mission: she had to have physical contact with Shen Yuru, the great female villain in the book, in order to heal Shen Yuru’s heart and lower Shen Yuru’s blackening value.

The mission was long and difficult.

But Shen Yuru was a junior now, while she was only a freshman.

Their majors were not even in the same direction. How could they see each other every day?

At this moment, Han Shuangshuang suddenly belatedly realized that she had not even asked for Shen Yuru’s contact information.

Wasn’t this directly barbecued?

The originally noisy classroom suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked toward the door.

Han Shuangshuang also lifted her head and looked toward the door. She saw a bright, flamboyant beauty walking in with a pile of documents. The direction she was walking in seemed to be Han Shuangshuang’s direction.

The other students in class lowered their heads one after another, as though afraid of being seen.

Han Shuangshuang stared blankly. Her innocent puppy eyes blinked. She watched as the bright beauty moved closer and closer, then stopped in front of her.

The beauty’s gaze was cold and utterly devoid of emotion as she tossed the documents onto Han Shuangshuang’s desk.

“Han Shuangshuang, these are the courses you failed last semester, as well as the relevant documents. If you continue to fail more than five courses this semester, your GPA will fall below one. The department has decided that you will be held back a year. I came to notify you.”

Han Shuangshuang was instantly dumbfounded. In her mind, she suddenly connected the ice-sculpture-like bright beauty before her with a certain person: the vice president of the student council.

She was an extremely upright girl, though she did not have many scenes. Her final ending seemed to be that after touching upon Long Aodi’s interests, she was framed by Long Aodi and expelled from school.

Han Shuangshuang instantly felt her head split in two. She could only obediently nod and say she understood.

At this moment, Yan Huan yawned and belatedly passed by the corridor. Just as she reached the door, she happened to run into the departing student council vice president, Yun Yun.

Her originally sloppy, careless appearance instantly disappeared. She stood up straight and even tidied her hairstyle.

Seeing that Yun Yun did not give her even half a glance, Yan Huan’s face revealed a trace of disappointment. But she quickly adjusted herself and walked into the classroom.

When Yan Huan saw that Han Shuangshuang was also there, her eyes widened like copper bells, as though she had seen something supernatural.

“How rare. Young Miss Han actually came to class.”

Han Shuangshuang’s face was full of worry, and she had no mood to joke with her at all.

Fine, she had transmigrated here and had to complete missions. But now she also had to start studying from scratch.

What kind of nonsense was this? Besides, she had never studied these specialized courses before.

“Yan Huan, if I start over now and become a new person, can I pass all the courses I failed last semester and all the courses this semester?”

Yan Huan patted Han Shuangshuang’s shoulder with a solemn expression. “I’m afraid I don’t have any way to answer that question for you.”

Han Shuangshuang covered her face and cried bitterly.

She remembered now. The female supporting character ranked dead last, while Yan Huan ranked second from the bottom. It was just that Yan Huan scored exactly sixty in every course and did not fail.

“System, will failing courses affect my missions?”

[System: Think about it, Host. If Host is held back a year, Shen Yuru may think Host is someone who has no ambition at all and that Host approached her only because you had other motives. Also, if Host repeats a year, Shen Yuru will be a senior next year, and the connection between the two of you will become even weaker. Can Host guarantee that you will reduce Shen Yuru’s blackening value to 0 within the next two months and successfully heal Shen Yuru’s heart?]

Han Shuangshuang carefully recalled it.

In the book, the plot where the female supporting character and Shen Yuru became engaged seemed to happen only after Shen Yuru graduated.

“Why are you panicking? Isn’t Shen Yuru there? Shen Yuru is a study god and ranked first in the entire school. It seems like Shen Yuru understands a bit of everything, right? Even if you don’t learn specialized knowledge from her, learning some study techniques is fine too. When I came over just now, I saw her on the path by the library. If you go now, you should still be able to catch her. Juniors don’t have many classes right now, so they basically all soak themselves in the library.”

“Thanks, sis.”

Han Shuangshuang picked up a pen and a notebook, then immediately stood up.

[System: Host, don’t be discouraged. Before Host transmigrated, you were also a top-student young girl. These courses shouldn’t be too difficult for Host, right?]

The tears in Han Shuangshuang’s heart were about to drown her.

If there were another choice, who would be willing to study?

It was not that studying was bad. It was just that anything was more interesting than studying.

If not forced by helpless circumstances, who would not want to be a rich second-generation heir? Who would not want to be a lying-flat dog who did absolutely nothing?

……

At the library.

Shen Yuru lifted her head. Her slender fingers paused around the pen she was holding as she saw Han Shuangshuang, who was breathing slightly hard.

Han Shuangshuang knew she could not speak inside the library, so she frantically gestured with her hands.

Belatedly realizing that she looked a little dumb right now, she immediately took out her phone, typed on the screen, and pushed it in front of Shen Yuru.

[Sister Shen, save me! If I fail any more classes, I’ll have to repeat a year. Can I ask Sister Shen to teach me how to study?]

Han Shuangshuang pouted. Her eyes were filled with pleading. She was sitting on the desk with her butt raised, both hands holding the edge of the table, her chin also pressed against the tabletop, looking exactly like a pitiful little doggo.

[Sister Shen, give me a chance to become a new person.]

Whether it was because Han Shuangshuang’s puppy eyes were too sincere and adorable, because her current appearance was truly too pitiful, or because the flame-like passion burning on Han Shuangshuang’s body touched her a little, Shen Yuru slowly nodded.

Then she reached out and patted Han Shuangshuang’s head.

Han Shuangshuang: ?

Why was she acting so dog-like?

Author’s Note:

Han Shuangshuang: I’m not a doggo wagging its tail.

Shen Yuru: A doggo needs its master’s training.
