Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 10

After spending a period of time in the villa with her heart hanging in suspense, Dai Shiyuan finally received her admission notice.

Looking at the express package in the female lead’s hand, the one that belonged to her, she could not suppress the excitement in her heart.

She had waited for so long. Finally, this day had come.

Now she could finally fly far away and no longer have to live in constant fear by the female lead’s side.

The happiness on Dai Shiyuan’s face was completely undisguised, and Shan Yaxin naturally saw it. She asked with a gentle smile, “Does Xiao Yuan want to leave that badly?”

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan keenly sensed the danger hidden in those words and hurriedly restrained the smile at the corners of her mouth. “I want to go outside and see more of the world.”

“There will be chances in the future.” Shan Yaxin said, placing the express package in her hand on the desk. Her expression grew even gentler. “Hurry and open it. There’s a surprise inside.”

A bad premonition flashed through Dai Shiyuan’s heart.

The female lead’s words always made her feel a little strange. But at this moment, she had no time to consider so much.

Dai Shiyuan tried her best to restrain her anxious movements and slowly opened the package, occasionally glancing twice at the female lead beside her.

When she saw the corner of the school’s name printed on it, she could not believe it and directly tore off the remaining packaging.

Her movements were urgent and rough.

The school’s name was completely revealed. It was not one of the schools she had chosen. Instead, it was the school where the female lead worked.

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

Looking at her younger sister-in-law’s face full of shock and anger, happiness surged up inside her.

In her previous life, this woman had caused her to lose her loved ones, and in the end, she had gone mad and died. That had not made Shan Yaxin feel happy at all.

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

Dai Shiyuan’s mind went blank. Her hands trembled as she held the admission notice, and she could not hear any sound by her ears.

She clearly had not chosen this school. Why had things turned out like this?

Even if another school had appeared, she would not have been this shocked. Why did it have to be the female lead’s school?

Why?

Dai Shiyuan threw the admission notice away, stood up, and glared furiously at the female lead. She loudly questioned, “You changed my preferences, didn’t you?”

The female lead had accompanied her when she filled in her preferences, and the female lead had her login name and password.

She could not understand why the female lead would use such despicable methods to keep her by her side.

Changing someone else’s preferences without permission already violated the bottom line of both morality and the law.

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

Countless questions surged into her mind, stirring Dai Shiyuan until she could no longer think normally. She merely confronted the female lead with instinctive anger.

Looking at the person before her, furious to the extreme, Shan Yaxin felt even more delighted inside.

Sure enough, only by slowly tormenting this person could she feel pleasure and vent the hatred from her previous life.

“This wasn’t my idea. I only…” Shan Yaxin hurriedly shook her head, a troubled expression appearing on her beautiful face.

As soon as she finished speaking, another voice sounded in the room.

“Mom, Xiao Yuan really seems to want to study outside the province. Wouldn’t it be bad for us to do this?”

“What’s bad about it? Haven’t I already said it? You keep troubling me again and again over such a small matter. Do you even know how to handle things?”

This was a phone recording!

Dai Shiyuan recognized the latter voice as Mother Dai’s.

So this matter had actually been planned by Mother Dai. With the female lead’s temperament, she definitely would not refuse Mother Dai.

Had she misunderstood the female lead?

Dai Shiyuan lowered her eyes and sat down weakly, her expression desolate as she stared at the admission notice by her feet.

Her plan to stay away had failed…

Seeing all the anger drain from Dai Shiyuan in an instant, leaving only calm behind, a trace of coldness flashed through Shan Yaxin’s eyes. She bent down, picked up the admission notice from the floor, and comforted her gently, “Xiao Yuan, Mom just couldn’t bear to let you leave. If you want to blame someone, blame Sister-in-law. This matter is all my fault…”

Listening to the pitiful tone in her words, Dai Shiyuan clenched her fingers hard.

If she did not know that the female lead’s current character setting was gentle and weak, she would really suspect that the female lead was playing a manipulative little “green tea” act on her.

With Mother Dai’s strong and domineering personality, if Dai Shiyuan went to question her now, she definitely would not get anything good out of it.

But she had to settle this account. She was not as weak and easy to bully as the female lead.

Dai Shiyuan secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned over, lay down on the bed, and said, “I’m feeling a little unwell. I want to rest for a while.”

“All right. Rest properly. If anything happens, call Sister-in-law. You mustn’t stay alone and think yourself into a dead end.” Shan Yaxin patiently coaxed her.

If this little blow was enough to make her unable to endure it and die, that would truly be boring.

Dai Shiyuan did not answer. She pulled the quilt over her head, cutting herself off from everything outside.

Now that things had already become settled, what she needed to do was avoid the tragedy that would follow.

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

At present, the female lead lived in the school dormitory, so Dai Shiyuan had to rent a place outside.

Dai Shiyuan was thinking about her future plans when her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Father Dai, an idea flashed through her heart. She immediately answered and softly called, “Dad.”

Father Dai’s heart softened, and he said with a smile, “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, Father Dai suddenly heard a faint crying sound coming through the phone and immediately panicked.

“My preferences were changed… I didn’t get into the university I wanted…” As Dai Shiyuan spoke, she grew more and more aggrieved and could not help crying.

This time, Mother Dai and the female lead had joined forces to bully her. She wanted to retaliate, but she was powerless.

Now that she had Father Dai, this backer, to rely on, she could not help wanting to cry.

“Who changed your preferences?” Father Dai questioned angrily. Very quickly, he softened his tone again and coaxed her, “Dad isn’t scolding you. Preferences are such an important matter, and someone actually dared to change them without permission. They truly don’t know their place.”

“It was…” Dai Shiyuan said one word and then stopped, looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Father Dai heard the hesitation in her words and gently encouraged her, “Xiao Yuan, don’t be afraid. Tell me who it was, and Dad will stand up for you.”

“It was Mom and Sister-in-law.” Dai Shiyuan cried as she said it quietly.

“Them?” Father Dai’s brows furrowed, and his face showed a few traces of seriousness. After a moment, he said, “Xiao Yuan, don’t be upset yet. I’ll go ask your mother. I’ll get to the bottom of this matter and give you an explanation.”

“Thank you, Dad.” Dai Shiyuan choked out, then hung up the phone.

Although Father Dai could not change this ending, the way he defended her still moved her quite a bit.

In this family, the person she could rely on from now on was Father Dai.

As for that brother she had yet to meet, she did not know whether he could be relied on.

Dai Shiyuan cried in grievance for more than ten minutes before finally stopping her tears.

Before long, her phone rang again. It was still Father Dai calling.

Dai Shiyuan answered the phone and gave two soft, glutinous hums. “Dad, about the preferences…”

“I looked into it. This matter was indeed your mother’s fault, and I’ve already spoken to her.” Father Dai comforted her gently. After pausing for a moment, he continued earnestly, “Your sister-in-law’s school is quite good. It’s actually just right for you to study there, since someone will be there to take care of you. That way, we can feel much more at ease too.”

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan felt somewhat upset.

In the end, Father Dai still stood on Mother Dai’s side and had not really helped her with anything.

This matter had such a huge impact on her, yet Father Dai’s punishment for Mother Dai was merely saying a few words. From the looks of it, they did not care very much that her school had been changed.

Or perhaps, Father Dai also very much hoped she would study at the female lead’s school.

“Thank you, Dad. I understand.” Disappointment was hard to hide in Dai Shiyuan’s tone.

Listening to her, Father Dai felt somewhat uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he comforted her, “Xiao Yuan, whatever you want, Dad will buy it for you. Consider it compensation from Dad.”

Dai Shiyuan’s eyes flickered, and an idea quickly formed in her heart. Lowering her voice, she said, “I want to buy an apartment near the school. Don’t let anyone else know about this.”

“All right. Dad will handle it right away.” Father Dai agreed with a smile.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why no one else could know, he did not ask further.

Right now, coaxing his daughter into being happy was the most important thing.

With Father Dai’s guarantee, Dai Shiyuan’s mood improved slightly.

That apartment would serve as her secret base, a safeguard for keeping away from the female lead.

Dai Shiyuan lay on the bed and carefully thought over her future life plan.

The major she had applied for was business administration, not English.

The female lead was currently a teacher in the English department and was also the homeroom teacher of one class. She was only responsible for teaching their major’s English courses and would not teach other majors.

This way, Dai Shiyuan at least would not run into the female lead in class.

If she paid more attention in daily life, she should be able to avoid the female lead.

After all, this school was very large and had many majors. If one did not deliberately go looking for someone, then even in the same school, it would be very difficult to run into them.

The more Dai Shiyuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and her mood gradually improved.

She prepared to sleep for a while and adjust her state of mind, but knocking came from outside.

Recognizing that the female lead had come, Dai Shiyuan immediately got up and sat properly, deliberately picking up a mirror to take a look.

Her eyes were a little swollen right now. Paired with this youthful face, she looked pitiful.

It suited her character setting quite well.

Shan Yaxin pushed open the door and saw a pair of eyes reddened from crying. Her eyes flickered, and she revealed a gentle smile as she comforted, “Xiao Yuan, don’t be too upset. Sister-in-law will take good care of you in the future. No matter what happens, you can come to Sister-in-law.”

“Thank you.” Dai Shiyuan sniffed. Her whole person still looked a little angry.

She had cried for a little too long, so she could not stop completely for the moment.

Shan Yaxin sneered inwardly, but her face showed a concerned expression. “Dad said you’re not in a very good mood and asked me to take you out to get some fresh air and buy a few things you like.”

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan’s heart chilled, and she hurriedly refused. “I’m a little tired. I want to sleep.”

She did not want to go out alone with the female lead at all. Right now, the person she needed to stay away from the most was the female lead.

“Then Xiao Yuan should rest properly.” Shan Yaxin’s beautiful face revealed a lonely expression. After hesitating for a while, she asked, “Is Xiao Yuan still blaming Sister-in-law for changing your preferences?”

Listening to that pitiful tone, Dai Shiyuan’s brows furrowed lightly.

Of course she blamed the female lead. But falling out with the female lead like this was not very appropriate.

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

Seeing this, Shan Yaxin lightly curved her lips, her eyes carrying a trace of coldness.
