Forced to Become the Female Villain's Doting Wife (GL) - Chapter 11

Su Xianxian’s heart was still relatively pure at the moment.

Although this was a “romance-brained” world, she believed that as the Female Villain, Jiang Cuo would not easily go along with these people; she wouldn’t believe it.

Besides, the data clearly showed that Jiang Cuo’s Disgust Value towards her was as high as 90. Her sole intention was just to lower Jiang Cuo’s Disgust Value and become friends with her.

Moreover, Su Xianxian was unaware of the school forum and high school students’ online community in this system world, and she didn’t know what kind of rumors the students had spread about yesterday’s events.

Jiang Cuo’s heart subtly shifted. She picked up the homework from the lecture desk and silently walked back to her seat.

She remained unmoved no matter how the surrounding students egged her on or made noise.

She did not believe it. Su Xianxian’s past verbal abuse and provocations were vivid in her memory.

How could a person undergo such a profound internal change, from loathing to affection, in just a few days? Even if Su Xianxian had been extremely unusual these past two days, she would not easily believe the ridiculous claim that Su Xianxian had a crush on her.

Jiang Cuo even suspected that the people spreading this absurd rumor about Su Xianxian having a crush on her were actors hired by Su Xianxian herself.

The moment Jiang Cuo sat down, she already felt Su Xianxian leaning toward her. She didn’t know why, but Jiang Cuo had previously been completely indifferent to Su Xianxian’s existence.

Yet, when the surrounding students claimed Su Xianxian had a crush on her, Jiang Cuo now felt uncomfortable and wanted to escape whenever she faced Su Xianxian.

Even thinking this, the aloof and proud Jiang Cuo maintained a straight posture, sitting calmly in her chair.

The curve of her lips remained normal, showing no discernible emotion.

However, the cold aura around her intensified, causing the approaching Su Xianxian to shiver involuntarily.

“Classmate Jiang, how is Grandpa? Is he feeling better?”

Jiang Cuo was momentarily stunned to hear Su Xianxian ask this. She expected Su Xianxian to bossily demand why she hadn’t tutored her yesterday.

Jiang Cuo replied coldly, “It’s nothing serious.”

[Trash System: Congratulations, Host. Jiang Cuo’s Disgust Value toward the Host is -2. Jiang Cuo’s current Disgust Value is 88.]

Su Xianxian tsk-tsked in her heart. She realized that Jiang Cuo was someone who frequently contradicted herself. Her words were cold, but her feelings were not so.

Su Xianxian knew that Jiang Cuo’s only weakness right now was her grandparents, so last night, she had already instructed the butler to investigate their health conditions.

Although Su Xianxian was somewhat curious about Jiang Cuo’s parents, the book hadn’t clearly stated their identities, so she figured it wouldn’t be easy to find out even in this world, and she didn’t waste any more effort on it.

Jiang Cuo’s gaze swept over Su Xianxian’s fingers covered with bandages. She asked casually, “What happened to your hands?”

Su Xianxian’s eyes instantly brightened. “Classmate Jiang, don’t worry. I just got some glue on them, and it looked too ugly, but I wasn’t injured.”

Jiang Cuo’s index finger moved slightly, and she pursed her thin lips. “Oh.”

Su Xianxian immediately leaned closer. “Classmate Jiang, I reviewed the lessons the teacher taught yesterday and diligently finished my homework. How about Classmate Jiang checks it for me first? I really did listen to Classmate Jiang’s words, you know.”

As Su Xianxian spoke, she subtly slid her chair closer to Jiang Cuo. While reaching for her homework, she also hoped to brush her little finger against the back of Jiang Cuo’s hand to make physical contact and increase the fusion degree.

Heaven knew she wasn’t deliberately trying to take advantage of Jiang Cuo; she was genuinely forced by this trash system.

Su Lian also arrived in the classroom and took her seat behind Su Xianxian. In Su Lian’s eyes, Su Xianxian and Jiang Cuo were practically inseparable, sitting almost right next to each other.

Su Lian knew Su Xianxian’s nature best; Su Xianxian couldn’t possibly be interested in someone like Jiang Cuo.

Su Lian’s desk-mate, seeing Su Lian’s pitiful, reserved demeanor, thought Su Lian was easy to talk to and typically confided everything in her.

“Hey, Su Xianxian is your sister, so you must know about your sister liking Jiang Cuo, right? No, no, I should call it a crush. After all, Jiang Cuo is the top student in the entire school, and she doesn’t seem close to anyone. Someone so aloof, Su Xianxian probably hasn’t won her over yet. Did your sister tell you how far along she is with Jiang Cuo?”

Su Lian saw someone speaking to her. Although she was reluctant inside, she had to keep up appearances and replied softly and weakly.

“I’m sorry, my sister doesn’t really like me and doesn’t tell me anything. I don’t dare to disturb her life. Maybe Sister’s love for Classmate Jiang Cuo is unrequited. After all, someone with Sister’s personality… whoever she likes, if she can’t have them, she’ll definitely destroy them. Shh, don’t talk about Sister like that behind her back. She’ll be unhappy if she hears it. Sister is very scary when she’s angry; she doesn’t recognize anyone. You shouldn’t say that.”

Su Lian was right behind Su Xianxian and Jiang Cuo, so both of them could clearly hear what she said.

Su Xianxian heard Su Lian’s words and rolled her eyes. She lamented internally: Truly the daughter of the mistress. She only learned the mistress’s skill of gossiping and twisting the truth.

Su Xianxian hadn’t even finished complaining when the system notification chimed. Su Xianxian quickly checked Jiang Cuo’s complexion, which was only two inches away from her.

Jiang Cuo’s pale, almost bloodless face was now slightly tinged with green. Su Xianxian racked her brain, wondering if Su Lian’s desk-mate’s comment about her crushing on Jiang Cuo had offended Jiang Cuo? No way, was Jiang Cuo going to increase her Disgust Value again?

Su Xianxian quickly grabbed Jiang Cuo’s hand before the system notification could arrive and spoke sincerely.

“Classmate Jiang, don’t listen to those people talking nonsense. They are all ‘romance-brains’; their minds hold nothing but dating. But we are different from them. Our eyes are fixed only on knowledge. Learning changes the future, and knowledge achieves self-worth. You mustn’t believe their ridiculous talk.”

Jiang Cuo heard Su Xianxian’s slightly panicked explanation. It was as if a constantly worried heart suddenly eased. But she didn’t know what was wrong with her, why she felt an unprompted sense of emptiness inside.

Su Xianxian stared at Jiang Cuo’s tightly pursed lips. But why, even after she finished speaking, were Jiang Cuo’s lips still not curved into a smile, maintaining that look of displeasure?

[Trash System: Ding-dong, congratulations, Host, on triggering a daily random mission. Does the Host currently have the following worries? Worried about not finding intimate opportunities with Jiang Cuo, anxious about not triggering fusion degree with this system world? Haha! Please don’t worry about these things anymore, Host. As your considerate Trash System, I have provided the following wonderful opportunities for the Host. Please complete any one of the following random missions to gain one percent fusion degree with the system world. Mission One: Please immediately place your thumb on the edge of Jiang Cuo’s lips, slide your thumb across Jiang Cuo’s entire lip corner, and follow it up with a cute wink. Mission Two: Please use the style of an overbearing female CEO to embrace Jiang Cuo’s waist, retrieve the lovingly glued homework from Jiang Cuo’s desk drawer, and declare your love. Mission Three: Strong-arm kiss Jiang Cuo. Please don’t be shy, Host!]

Su Xianxian: “!!”

Su Xianxian, struck by the Trash System’s notification, froze completely, managing only a forced smile at Jiang Cuo.

What did it mean, shy? Shy my big head.

The Female Villain’s Disgust Value was 88, and it wanted her to strong-arm kiss her? Why not just ask her to slit her own throat? This trash system might as well have let her jump down yesterday.

And declaring love while holding the glued homework? Then everything she just told Jiang Cuo, speaking sincerely, would become nonsense. Who hits themselves in the face like that?

And the first option, the wink? That wasn’t cute; that was clearly greasy, wasn’t it? Besides, her fingers were covered in bandages; wasn’t it worried about poking Jiang Cuo’s mouth?

‘Do these missions… have to be done? Even if I don’t do them, I can still get today’s fusion degree.’

[Trash System: No, they must be done. This is a spot check on the Host’s attitude toward completing missions. Besides, isn’t this a great opportunity for the Host? Don’t be shy, Host. The system can hear the Host’s inner thoughts. Any scenario the Host has fantasized about, the system will arrange for you.]

Su Xianxian felt several angry parentheses about to burst from her forehead. Stop projecting that perverted image onto me, alright?

Jiang Cuo looked at Su Xianxian’s forced, unnatural smile and felt an ominous premonition. She couldn’t help but want to lean away from Su Xianxian.

But Su Xianxian suddenly pressed down on her chair with great force, preventing her from moving an inch.

The gossiping classmate sitting behind Su Xianxian, hearing Su Xianxian’s earlier explanation, also showed disappointment. Su Xianxian herself had clarified it—she wasn’t crushing on Jiang Cuo. Then they got excited for nothing.

She muttered to herself in disbelief, “How is that possible? Someone on the forum organized the timeline so clearly! It was obvious Su Xianxian was crushing on Jiang Cuo. How could it be fake?”

As she looked up again, she saw Su Xianxian suddenly extend her right hand, her thumb resting on the corner of Jiang Cuo’s lips. She then lightly slid it across Jiang Cuo’s lower lip.

The eyes of the student behind them immediately lit up. They quickly took out their phone to capture this monumental scene.

Jiang Cuo also froze completely, caught off guard by Su Xianxian’s intimate gesture, which was like a sneak attack.

The warm pad of the thumb rested on the corner of her mouth, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy, like a gentle tickle that made her entire lip area feel numb. Her spine felt like it had been electrocuted; she was incredibly stiff.

What was Su Xianxian doing? Was she playing games with her?

Su Xianxian saw the cold light gathering in Jiang Cuo’s eyes, like countless ice-cold swords shooting toward her. Even if Su Xianxian was trembling internally, her movement couldn’t stop. Since she had already committed, she had to get this 1% fusion degree.

Su Xianxian smiled sweetly, her voice soft and tender, while her thumb remained pressed against the corner of Jiang Cuo’s mouth. Her left eye blinked. “Classmate Jiang needs to smile more! I’ve already explained everything to Classmate Jiang, so why are you still so cold to me? That really hurts my feelings. So, let me manually make you smile.”

They were so close that Jiang Cuo could see the thick layer of foundation under Su Xianxian’s eyes, as if she was trying to cover something up. Jiang Cuo paused.

But…

Su Xianxian’s bandaged hand trembled, and her thumb suddenly shoved into Jiang Cuo’s mouth.

Su Xianxian: “…”

Jiang Cuo: The smile gradually became kind.
