After Transmigrating As The Female Lead’s Black-Hearted Supporting Character - Chapter 2

Ruan Xin whimpered, her complexion growing increasingly worse.

This body was far too fragile.

It was so weak that even speaking loudly made her throat hurt. Forcing her to endure this kind of pain was nothing short of torture.

She grabbed Li Zishu’s hand and asked, “Where is Ye Muyan right now?”

Li Zishu stammered, “I-I’ll take you to her…”

She walked quickly, puzzled as she went.

What was wrong with Ruan Xin today? She had actually called her sister by her full name. Normally, every other word out of her mouth was “Sister,” as affectionately as could be.

After leaving the school gate and turning left, they reached Wisteria Park within a few minutes. There was a milk tea shop nearby, and the area was one of the students’ favorite gathering places, especially for dating and confessions.

Ruan Xin slowed down and discovered that the pain around her neck seemed to have eased slightly.

“You’re the one surnamed Ye?”

Two people stood in the middle of a crowd of teenagers watching the commotion.

Ruan Xin struggled to squeeze through the crowd. Swaying unsteadily, she finally managed to get a clear look at the heroine.

Ye Muyan’s face still possessed a touch of childishness, but her features were remarkably delicate. The expression beneath her glasses was somewhat aloof, giving her an almost cold and restrained air.

Like everyone else, she wore a school uniform. One fair, slender hand rested on her bicycle. Against the setting sun, she appeared both translucent and as though she had been plated in gold.

“I am.”

She raised her chin slightly. Her bearing was as elegant as a swan’s, yet it concealed a trace of aggression.

Wow! As expected of the heroine. Her expression is so arrogantly smug that it practically begs people to hate her.

She really is arrogant—but she’s also so beautiful!

Ruan Xin knew that Ye Muyan possessed a spiritual spring inside her personal dimension. If she continued using it to nourish her body, she would only become even prettier in the future.

The thought made Ruan Xin feel sour with envy.

Then she looked at herself.

She had absolutely nothing, yet she still had to risk her life to fulfill the original supporting character’s wish.

Ye Muyan seemed to sense something and turned toward Ruan Xin in the crowd.

She adjusted her glasses, a faint smile rising to her lips, though it carried a trace of mockery.

Staring at Ruan Xin, who stood frozen like a puppy, she could not help thinking that her “good” younger sister truly never missed a single opportunity.

More precisely, she never missed an opportunity to watch Ye Muyan embarrass herself.

“Bitch!”

The red-haired girl confronting Ye Muyan cursed. Taking advantage of the moment Ye Muyan turned her head, she threw her drink at her.

In an instant, a large black stain spread across Ye Muyan’s spotless white uniform.

Something was wrong.

Ruan Xin’s heart jolted.

According to the plot after the heroine’s rebirth, Ye Muyan should have dodged it.

The red-haired girl felt a rush of satisfaction at the sight. Her only regret was that her hand had not been steady enough to splash the drink onto Ye Muyan’s face.

“You actually threw that at her?!”

Ruan Xin stared at the puddle of cola staining Ye Muyan’s uniform. Her temper flared, and the words left her mouth before her brain could stop them.

“Are you sick in the head, or do you just have no manners?!”

“Fuck! What’s it got to do with you?!”

The red-haired girl had an equally fiery temper. She marched directly over and demanded, “Who the fuck are you?!”

Clearly, the difference in height between a first-year middle school student and a high school student was enormous.

To the onlookers, the red-haired girl looked capable of knocking Ruan Xin over with one light shove.

Hearing the girl swear at her, Ruan Xin threw aside the books she was carrying. Her glare was even fiercer than the red-haired girl’s.

“It is my business. What are you going to do about it? Can’t you talk things out? What’s wrong? Did you become mute at such a young age, or were you never taught how to speak like a human being?”

Li Zishu’s mouth fell open.

She never imagined that the usually easygoing class monitor could be so vicious with her words.

She quietly picked up the books from the ground, then cast Ye Muyan a pleading look.

What exactly was Ruan Xin trying to do this time?

Ye Muyan parked her bicycle to the side, finding the scene extremely amusing.

She understood this person very well.

Whenever Ruan Xin spoke, she was either fishing for sympathy or stabbing someone with soft words. She truly knew how to kill without drawing blood.

In front of others, she always pretended to be pitiful and wore an expression that seemed to proclaim, “My sister is the best! My sister is amazing!”

Deep down, however, she was as dark as a nest of knives and wished Ye Muyan would die sooner.

Thinking back to her previous life, Ye Muyan realized that this “good” younger sister had already trapped her countless times…

The red-haired girl pointed at Ruan Xin and shrieked like a shrew.

“Who are you talking about?! Why don’t you ask her whether she has any shame? She dared to steal my man! Tell me, does that bitch have any shame or not?”

The surrounding crowd froze, as though time itself had stopped. Some of the more timid students were too frightened to make a sound.

Regardless of whether the red-haired girl was bullying others with sheer numbers, the dozen or so vicious-looking companions standing behind her were more than enough to intimidate an ordinary person.

“What you’re saying is ridiculous.”

Ruan Xin broke the silence.

“Class Monitor…” Li Zishu advised softly.

Ruan Xin did not hear her. She merely smiled mockingly.

“What, is your boyfriend made of gold? He isn’t an object. You can’t just claim someone stole him. Where’s your evidence?”

“I…”

“Bring him here and confront her face-to-face if you have the guts! You call other people shameless, but aren’t you just as shameless for slandering someone without evidence?”

Ruan Xin’s shout made the red-haired girl flinch.

“You embarrass yourself and then blame someone else! Let me ask you—”

She abruptly turned toward Ye Muyan.

“Do you like him?”

Her question sounded far too commanding and forceful.

Her gaze was fierce, but her voice was far too soft.

That was how Ye Muyan summarized it before answering innocently, “Why would I like a stranger?”

As she spoke, a boy in the crowd silently lowered his head.

The red-haired girl stared at Ruan Xin. Her hatred had already shifted targets, and her expression gradually turned ferocious.

Most of the time, people did not need a genuine reason to hit someone. A man was often only an excuse. In truth, it was usually nothing more than jealousy or simple dislike.

Ruan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

She could feel that the stinging pain around her neck had completely disappeared.

【Notification: Current points +5】

“What the hell are you supposed to be?”

The red-haired girl pressed a hand against Ruan Xin’s shoulder and shoved her.

“Elementary school kids think they’re so impressive nowadays, huh?”

This was bad.

The woman had lost the argument and was about to use violence.

Ruan Xin’s pupils contracted as she watched the red-haired girl raise her hand.

Dodge.

Her first instinct was to evade the blow, not fight back.

Although Ruan Xin had a bad temper, she clearly understood that she was currently at a disadvantage. Fighting head-on would be nothing more than courting death.

The onlookers opened their mouths in alarm.

In their eyes, the little girl appeared frightened senseless. Her round face was deathly pale, and her dark eyes stared blankly at the red-haired girl.

Seeing this, some of them could not bear to watch.

Wouldn’t one slap make her entire face swell up?

The hand was already swinging toward her.

Just as Ruan Xin prepared to dodge, another hand suddenly caught the red-haired girl’s wrist.

Compared with the red-haired girl’s slightly dark skin, this hand was much fairer.

Ruan Xin smelled soda.

She raised her head slightly and saw Ye Muyan holding the red-haired girl’s wrist.

The heroine had actually…

Ruan Xin stared in disbelief, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

At that moment, her opinion of the heroine wavered.

A loud slap rang out.

Ye Muyan had struck someone.

The blow sent the red-haired girl staggering backward. Unable to keep her balance, she fell directly onto the ground.

She tried to cover her face, but her hand trembled uncontrollably.

The red-haired girl glared at Ye Muyan. Her ears rang, and her head spun.

“You dare…” You dare hit me?

Before she could finish speaking, she burst into tears.

So ruthless.

Ruan Xin instinctively touched her own cheek.

Remembering how often the original character would later be beaten by Ye Muyan made her face ache in sympathy.

“You have no right to hit her.”

Ye Muyan removed her glasses and handed them to Ruan Xin. With a gloomy expression, she said, “That slap was repayment for the drink.”

Holding the glasses, Ruan Xin felt that watching the heroine beat people up was even more entertaining than watching a television drama.

Ye Muyan swept her gaze across the red-haired girl’s companions and smiled slightly.

“Come on. Weren’t you going to fight?”

“Ahhh! What are you all standing there for?!”

The red-haired girl screamed through her tears, her voice shriller than a marmot’s.

“Fuck your mother! You slut, how dare you hit my friend!”

Encouraged by the red-haired girl, a girl with dyed blond hair stripped off her school jacket and marched forward aggressively.

Slap!

Another slap rang out.

Ye Muyan shook out her hand, grabbed the dazed blond girl, and slapped her twice more in succession.

“Friend? What kind of friendship are you talking about?”

Ruan Xin suddenly felt guilty.

Those words almost sounded as though Ye Muyan was speaking to her.

After all, before her rebirth, the heroine had been terribly tormented by these people.

As her younger sister, Ruan Xin had stepped forward, but what she had said to the group was:

“Please don’t make things difficult for my sister. She didn’t do it on purpose.”

That statement was no different from admitting Ye Muyan’s guilt on her behalf.

As a result, the red-haired girl had grabbed Ye Muyan by the hair on the spot, poured the drink directly over her head, beaten and cursed her in public, and demanded that she kneel.

By the next day, the entire school knew the rumor that Ye Muyan had seduced someone else’s boyfriend.

After the flag-raising ceremony, she had even been publicly named and criticized in front of the entire school.

Her classmates then began excluding her. Not only did Ruan Xin refuse to help, but she also had someone falsely accuse her sister of being a thief.

All of these events pushed Ye Muyan toward rebellion.

Her already average grades fell to the bottom of the class.

Father Ye had never liked Ye Muyan in the first place. Believing her to be hopeless, he angrily severed their relationship and threw her out of the family home.

That was precisely why Ye Muyan later met her fake best friend.

She lost her identity and her family. Even after finally making a name for herself in the entertainment industry, her life still ended in tragedy.

What a terrible sin.

Ruan Xin sighed endlessly.

However, the more miserable the beginning was, the more satisfying the later revenge became.

Watching the heroine beat those little bitches until they cried their eyes out somehow filled Ruan Xin with gratification.

Wait.

She returned to her senses and lowered her gaze toward the glasses in her hands.

Why was she standing here watching in the first place?

And why was she obediently holding the heroine’s belongings for her?

No!

She did not want anything to do with the heroine!

But that was not right either.

The heroine did not seem as hateful as Ruan Xin had imagined. In fact, she appeared rather caring.

Perhaps they could reconcile. That would also make completing her mission easier in the future.

Ruan Xin struggled with the thought for a moment.

Seeing that the fight was more or less over, she eventually walked forward and handed the glasses back to Ye Muyan.

“Here. Your glasses.”

Ye Muyan accepted them, then casually handed her own stack of books to Ruan Xin.

“???”

What was going on?

Ruan Xin was a little confused, but she quickly understood.

After being reborn, the heroine had gained supernatural powers and a personal dimension.

To Ye Muyan, the Ye family home was a den of wolves. Staying there too long might expose her secrets, so she had used an argument as an opportunity to move out.

However, how could the original Ruan Xin possibly let her go so easily?

Under the pretense of concern, Ruan Xin voluntarily accompanied the heroine home after school every day. In reality, she only wanted to observe Ye Muyan.

Furthermore, Uncle Wang, the family driver, came to pick Ruan Xin up from beneath Ye Muyan’s apartment every day.

Naturally, she wanted to use this to provoke Ye Muyan.

Her intended message was nothing more than:

Look! Ever since you left, Mom and Dad have doted on me even more. Aren’t you envious? Aren’t you jealous?

Reality, however, was entirely different…

Not only did Ye Muyan show no reaction, but she even turned the situation against her.

Didn’t the original character enjoy pretending to be sick and weak?

Using exercise as an excuse, the heroine made Ruan Xin carry her books and run behind her bicycle.

The scene looked exactly like someone taking a dog for a walk.

No matter how clever Ruan Xin was, she was still only a thirteen-year-old child.

Even after being tricked, she believed she had gained a tremendous advantage and happily ran behind the heroine’s bicycle every day.

Seeing this, Li Zishu also approached and raised her fist encouragingly.

“Class Monitor, do your best with today’s exercise too!”

She then returned the books she had picked up, waved goodbye, and said, “Goodbye, Class Monitor!”

“Goodbye…”

After watching Li Zishu leave, Ruan Xin turned toward Ye Muyan.

Ye Muyan said, “Let’s go. Haven’t you watched enough?”

“No—”

Ruan Xin had only spoken one word when she saw Ye Muyan pushing her bicycle away.

She hurried after her.

“I’m sick! You can’t make me walk all by myself!”

Ye Muyan’s hand paused, but she still replied indifferently, “It’s only a minor illness. You’ll recover after sweating a little.”

Sweating?

Ruan Xin was afraid that what she would lose would not be sweat, but her life!

She gritted her teeth, and her favorable impression of the heroine immediately returned to zero.

She was furious!

She was angry that she could not defeat Ye Muyan right now.

However, if she left, the heroine’s plan would succeed. Wouldn’t this woman laugh herself to death once she returned home?

You forced me to do this.

A cold smile rose to Ruan Xin’s lips.

With lightning speed, she planted her butt firmly on the bicycle seat.

A layer of mist covered her dark eyes as she spoke in an unbearably coquettish voice.

“Wahh~~ Sister Yanyan, I want to ride the bicycle too~”

Hahahaha! Disgusting, isn’t it?

To be honest, even she found herself disgusting.

However—

“Oh.”

Ye Muyan’s response was neither cold nor enthusiastic.

She was not disgusted at all.

Instead, she pulled a blue bicycle out from behind the one Ruan Xin was sitting on and imitated her tone.

“But you know, this one is actually your sister’s bicycle! Why are you sitting on someone else’s?”

What the fuck?!

Ruan Xin’s expression stiffened, and she nearly fell off the bicycle.

Ye Muyan smiled and pointed a finger toward her own head.
