Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 10

After spending some time in the villa with her heart constantly on edge, Dai Shi Yuan finally received her university admission notice.

Seeing the express package belonging to her in the female lead’s hands, she couldn’t suppress the excitement surging in her heart.

She had waited so long, and today had finally come.

She could finally fly far away and no longer have to live in constant fear beside the female lead.

Dai Shi Yuan’s joy was completely undisguised. Shan Yaxin naturally noticed and asked with a gentle smile, “Xiao Yuan, do you really want to leave that much?”

Hearing this, Dai Shi Yuan keenly sensed the danger hidden in those words. She quickly restrained the smile at the corners of her lips and said, “I just want to go out and see the world.”

“There will be chances in the future,” Shan Yaxin said, placing the express package on the table. Her expression grew even gentler. “Open it quickly and take a look. There’s a surprise inside.”

A bad premonition flashed through Dai Shi Yuan’s heart.

The female lead’s words always felt strange to her, but at this moment, she didn’t have time to dwell on it.

Dai Shi Yuan tried her best to restrain her urgency and slowly opened the package, occasionally glancing at the female lead beside her.

When she caught a glimpse of the corner of the school name, she tore open the rest of the packaging in disbelief.

Her movements were urgent and rough.

The full school name was revealed. It was not one of the schools she had chosen, but instead the school where the female lead worked.

“Xiao Yuan, are you satisfied with this school?” Shan Yaxin asked with a smile, looking extremely pleased.

Seeing the shock and anger on her sister-in-law’s face made her heart surge with delight.

In her previous life, this woman had caused her to lose her loved ones and ultimately go mad and die. That hadn’t brought her any pleasure at all.

What she wanted was to slowly torment this vicious woman, not let her die so quickly.

Dai Shi Yuan’s mind went blank. Her hands trembled as she clutched the admission notice. She couldn’t hear any sounds around her.

She clearly hadn’t chosen this school. Why had things turned out like this?

Even if it had been another school, she wouldn’t have been so shocked. Why did it have to be the female lead’s school?

Why?

Dai Shi Yuan threw the admission notice aside, stood up, and angrily stared at the female lead. She shouted, “You changed my choices, didn’t you?!”

The female lead had been with her when she filled out the application, and she had her username and password.

She couldn’t understand why the female lead would use such despicable methods to keep her by her side.

Tampering with someone else’s university choices was already crossing moral and legal boundaries.

The female lead was supposed to be a kind and innocent person right now. How could she do something so malicious?

Countless questions flooded her mind, preventing Dai Shi Yuan from thinking normally. She could only confront the female lead out of pure instinctive anger.

Shan Yaxin looked at the person before her, who had reached the peak of fury, and felt even more pleased.

Sure enough, slowly tormenting this person was the only way to bring her true pleasure and vent the hatred from her previous life.

“This wasn’t my idea. I only…” Shan Yaxin shook her head hurriedly. A difficult expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Before she could finish, another voice played in the room: “Mom, Xiao Yuan really seems to want to study out of province. Isn’t it bad for us to do this?”

“What’s bad about it? Didn’t I already tell you? You keep bothering me over and over for such a small matter. Can you even do anything right?”

It was a phone recording!

Dai Shi Yuan recognized the later voice as Dai’s mother.

So this matter had been planned by Dai’s mother. With the female lead’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t have refused.

Had she misunderstood the female lead?

Dai Shi Yuan lowered her eyes, sat down weakly, and stared dejectedly at the admission notice by her feet.

Her plan to get away had failed…

Seeing Dai Shi Yuan’s anger suddenly drain away into calm, a cold glint flashed in Shan Yaxin’s eyes. She bent down to pick up the notice from the floor and comforted gently, “Xiao Yuan, Mom just couldn’t bear to let you leave. If you want to blame someone, blame Sister-in-law. This is all my fault…”

Hearing the pitiful tone, Dai Shi Yuan clenched her fingers tightly.

If she didn’t know the female lead’s current character setting was gentle and weak, she would really suspect the female lead was playing the victim here.

Dai’s mother had a strong and domineering personality. Questioning her now would get her nowhere.

But she had to settle this score. She wasn’t as weak and easily bullied as the female lead.

Dai Shi Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, lay down on the bed, and said, “I’m not feeling well. I want to rest for a while.”

“Alright, rest well. Call Sister-in-law if you need anything. Don’t overthink things by yourself,” Shan Yaxin coaxed patiently.

If she couldn’t even withstand this small blow and died, that would be too boring.

Dai Shi Yuan didn’t reply. She pulled the blanket over her head to block out everything outside.

Now that the matter was settled, what she needed to do was avoid the upcoming tragedy.

Even if she attended the same school as the female lead, she could still stay away from her.

Currently, the female lead lived in the school dormitory, so she would rent a house outside.

While Dai Shi Yuan was thinking about her future plans, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Dai’s father calling, an idea flashed through her mind. She immediately answered and softly called out, “Dad.”

Dai’s father’s heart softened. He smiled and said, “I heard from Yaxin that your admission notice arrived. Dad wants to congratulate you first. You got into the university you wanted… Xiao Yuan, what’s wrong?”

Halfway through speaking, Dai’s father suddenly heard weak crying sounds over the phone and immediately panicked.

“My choices were changed… I didn’t get into the university I wanted…” The more Dai Shi Yuan spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and she couldn’t help crying.

This time, Dai’s mother and the female lead had teamed up to bully her. She wanted to fight back but felt powerless.

Now, with Dai’s father as a pillar of support, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

“Who changed your choices?” Dai’s father asked angrily. He quickly softened his tone to comfort her, “Dad isn’t scolding you. University choices are such a big matter. Someone actually dared to change them without permission. They really don’t know their place.”

“It was…” Dai Shi Yuan said one word and then stopped, looking like she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Dai’s father heard the hesitation in her voice and encouraged her gently, “Xiao Yuan, don’t be afraid. Tell Dad who it was, and I’ll stand up for you.”

“It was… Mom and Sister-in-law,” Dai Shi Yuan said softly while crying.

“Them?” Dai’s father frowned, his face turning serious. After a pause, he said, “Xiao Yuan, don’t be sad first. I’ll go ask your mom. I’ll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation.”

“Thank you, Dad,” Dai Shi Yuan said with a choked voice and hung up the phone.

Although Dai’s father couldn’t change the outcome, the way he protected her still moved her.

In this family, the only person she could rely on in the future was Dai’s father.

As for that brother she hadn’t met yet, she didn’t know if he would be reliable.

Dai Shi Yuan cried aggrievedly for over ten minutes before finally stopping.

Shortly after, her phone rang again. It was another call from Dai’s father.

Dai Shi Yuan answered, humming softly, “Dad, about the university choices…”

“I’ve looked into it. This matter was indeed your mother’s fault. I’ve already spoken to her,” Dai’s father comforted her gently. After a pause, he continued earnestly, “Your sister-in-law’s school is quite good. It’s perfect for you to study there—someone can look after you, and we can all feel more at ease.”

Hearing this, Dai Shi Yuan felt a pang of sadness.

In the end, Dai’s father was still on Dai’s mother’s side and hadn’t really helped her.

This matter had such a big impact on her, yet the only “punishment” Dai’s father gave her mother was a few words. It seemed they didn’t really care about the school being changed.

Or rather, Dai’s father also hoped she would study at the female lead’s school.

“Thank you, Dad. I understand,” Dai Shi Yuan said, unable to hide the disappointment in her voice.

Dai’s father felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he comforted her, “Xiao Yuan, whatever you want, Dad will buy it for you. Consider it Dad’s compensation.”

Dai Shi Yuan’s eyes flashed. She quickly came up with an idea and lowered her voice, “I want to buy a house near the school. Don’t let anyone else know about this.”

“Alright, Dad will handle it right away,” Dai’s father agreed with a smile.

Although he was a little puzzled why it had to be kept secret from others, he didn’t ask further.

Right now, making his daughter happy was the most important thing.

With Dai’s father’s promise, Dai Shi Yuan’s mood improved slightly.

That house would be her secret base—a guarantee for staying away from the female lead.

Dai Shi Yuan lay on the bed, carefully thinking about her future life plans.

The major she had applied for was Business Administration, not English.

The female lead was currently an English teacher in the English Department and the homeroom teacher for one class. She only taught English for that major and wouldn’t teach other majors.

This way, she at least wouldn’t run into the female lead in class.

As long as she was careful in daily life, she should be able to avoid her.

After all, the school was very large with many majors. If she didn’t deliberately look for someone, it would be hard to encounter them even on the same campus.

The more Dai Shi Yuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Her mood gradually improved.

She was about to take a nap to adjust her mindset when there was a knock at the door.

Recognizing it was the female lead, Dai Shi Yuan immediately sat up and deliberately checked herself in the mirror.

Her eyes were a bit swollen. Paired with her youthful face, she looked quite pitiful.

It suited her character setting perfectly.

Shan Yaxin pushed open the door and saw a pair of red, swollen eyes. Her eyes flashed as she showed a gentle smile and comforted, “Xiao Yuan, don’t be too sad. Sister-in-law will take good care of you from now on. No matter what happens, you can come to Sister-in-law.”

“Thank you,” Dai Shi Yuan sniffled. She still looked somewhat upset.

She had cried for quite a while and couldn’t stop right away.

Shan Yaxin sneered inwardly but showed a concerned expression on her face. “Dad said you’re in a bad mood and asked me to take you out for some fresh air and buy whatever you like.”

Hearing this, Dai Shi Yuan’s heart tightened. She quickly refused, “I’m a bit tired. I want to sleep.”

She didn’t want to go out alone with the female lead at all. The person she needed to stay farthest away from right now was the female lead.

“Then rest well, Xiao Yuan.” A trace of dejection appeared on Shan Yaxin’s beautiful face. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Xiao Yuan, are you still blaming Sister-in-law for changing your choices?”

Dai Shi Yuan frowned at the pitiful tone.

Of course she blamed the female lead, but falling out with her completely right now wasn’t appropriate.

After thinking for a moment, Dai Shi Yuan shook her head, turned her back, and went to sleep.

Seeing this, the corners of Shan Yaxin’s lips curved slightly, a cold glint in her eyes.
