Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 5

Taking advantage of the female lead’s absence, Dai Shiyuan focused on writing out her university preferences for the third time.

With the experience from the first two attempts, she finished very quickly this time.

Dai Shiyuan carefully placed the completed preference form to the side and deliberately pressed a book over it, lest she accidentally knock it to the floor or crease it.

Now, all she had to do was wait for the female lead to come over. Once she showed the preference form to her, she would be able to submit her choices online.

Then she would be able to stay far away from the female lead and preserve her little life.

Dai Shiyuan smiled happily, her eyes filled with beautiful anticipation for the future.

Half an hour later, the door opened.

Dai Shiyuan turned back and saw the female lead’s gentle face, as well as that fleeting chill. She could not help frowning slightly, then turned back around and continued looking out the window.

Shan Yaxin entered the room carrying a plate of fresh fruit. When her gaze landed on the thin, frail figure in front of the desk, a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.

Even though she could not see that face, she could still feel that this younger sister-in-law of hers was happy right now.

Was she happy because she could go outside the province to study?

Shan Yaxin stood by the door, her brows lightly furrowed, and did not speak.

She was not very convinced by this reason. She absolutely did not believe that this person, who looked pure on the outside but was vicious inside, would let her sister-in-law off so easily.

On the final page of that thick notebook, she had clearly seen those words about driving her out.

Although the notebook had already been destroyed, Shan Yaxin had already engraved those words into her heart.

They would not be erased so easily.

Shan Yaxin’s eyes grew even colder. A cold smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but very quickly, she changed it into a gentle smile and said softly, “Xiao Yuan, have you finished writing your preference form?”

“I’ve already finished… Ah…” Dai Shiyuan happily stood up, but did not notice the corner of the desk and accidentally knocked her knee against it.

The pain instantly made tears well up in her eyes. After letting out one cry, she immediately bit her lip to keep the rest of the sounds from escaping.

Making such a fool of herself in front of the female lead was truly a little embarrassing.

Dai Shiyuan rubbed her knee with one hand and held the paper with the other. Her tear-filled eyes showed a trace of pitifulness and fragility.

Seeing her pitiful and vulnerable appearance, Shan Yaxin sneered inwardly.

Her younger sister-in-law’s acting skills were quite good. Otherwise, she would not have deceived everyone so easily.

In her previous life, Shan Yaxin had been too simple-minded and had been fooled.

But this time, she would not be deceived again.

She absolutely would not let this vicious woman off.

“Xiao Yuan, what’s wrong? Do you not welcome me coming over?” Shan Yaxin asked directly. There was a faint sharpness in her tone, and her eyes seemed to glance at Dai Shiyuan’s knee.

Dai Shiyuan hurriedly waved her hands, straightened her body, and endured the pain as she said, “No, I just accidentally bumped my knee.”

“Is it serious? Should I bring some medicine over?” Shan Yaxin immediately walked over and asked with concern.

“It’s fine. It’ll be better in a while.” Dai Shiyuan immediately said, her body shifting slightly backward.

Shan Yaxin noticed this resistant movement and gave a light smile. She placed the fruit on the desk and said gently, “That’s good. Have you filled out the preference form? Let me take a look.”

“I’ve already written it.” Dai Shiyuan answered seriously and took the preference form out from beneath the book.

She did not hand it directly to the female lead, but placed it on the desk instead.

This female lead made her feel rather dangerous, so it was better not to have too much contact with her.

Fortunately, the female lead did not mind. She picked up the preference form and began looking through it carefully.

Shan Yaxin read it from beginning to end and did not find a single typo. A trace of doubt could not help flashing through her eyes.

In her memory, her younger sister-in-law’s handwriting had always been wild and unruly, messy to the point that it was almost impossible to make out.

Only the handwriting in that cursed notebook had been slightly better, but compared with the handwriting on this preference form, it was still lacking somewhat.

It seemed her younger sister-in-law really did attach great importance to this university choice. Once she became serious, even her handwriting looked much better.

“There’s no problem. Submit it online now.” Shan Yaxin placed the preference form on the desk, then walked over and turned on the computer.

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan abruptly thought of a serious problem.

She did not know the login password at all!

Would she be exposed now? How could she fool her way through this?

The two questions struck Dai Shiyuan’s little heart until it began pounding violently. She panicked so much that her mind went completely blank, and she even forgot the pain in her knee.

By the time she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in front of the computer desk. Displayed before her eyes was none other than the login page.

Dai Shiyuan’s body stiffened. Hesitantly, she tucked both hands in and put on an appearance of thinking very hard.

As for this evasive behavior, she did not know how long it could delay things. In any case, she would stall as long as she could.

Maybe she would remember the password soon…

The password should be related to her birthday, right…

This character’s birthday was?

…The author had never mentioned the exact date at all!

Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips and still did not move.

Seeing this scene, Shan Yaxin once again found it somewhat incomprehensible.

Based on her earlier behavior, should she not be quickly filling in her preferences at this time?

Why was she still dawdling?

A trace of coldness flashed through Shan Yaxin’s eyes. However, she did not urge her and only asked gently, “Xiao Yuan, what’s wrong?”

“I…” Dai Shiyuan hesitantly raised her head. After thinking for a while, she still decided to tell the truth. “I forgot the password.”

At a time like this, it was better not to talk nonsense, lest she arouse the female lead’s suspicion.

“So that’s what it is. Sister-in-law already wrote down your login name and password long ago, just in case you accidentally forgot.” Shan Yaxin said with a smile, her voice steady and gentle, as though she had not noticed anything wrong.

As she spoke, she opened her phone and tapped on a picture. Displayed on it were exactly the login name and password.

The huge stone in Dai Shiyuan’s heart finally landed. Comparing against the photo, she entered the information, and before long, she successfully logged in.

She could not help feeling a small burst of happiness. Her round eyes became bright and sparkling as she carefully filled in the schools according to the preference form.

Shan Yaxin stood quietly at the side and watched, her gaze fixed the entire time on that innocent, youthful face.

She did not miss a single tiny expression from the other party. Whether it was the delight in her eyes or the soft breath she released, none of it escaped Shan Yaxin’s gaze.

So far, this younger sister-in-law’s behavior showed no flaws. She was still as pure and innocent as before.

But the more it was like this, the less Shan Yaxin believed her.

Under the sharp, knife-like gaze beside her, Dai Shiyuan endured and finished filling in her preferences. Throughout the entire process, her fingers trembled a little.

This female lead made no attempt to conceal her hostility toward her. No matter how gentle the smile she wore on the surface was, Dai Shiyuan could still sense that chill.

It seemed she absolutely had to stay away from the female lead.

Dai Shiyuan became even more determined. She smiled and said, “I finished filling it in.”

“That’s good. Xiao Yuan can enjoy the summer vacation to your heart’s content now.” Shan Yaxin came back to herself, smiled gently, and took back her phone.

She did not look over the preferences on the computer. Whether Dai Shiyuan had filled them in correctly or not did not matter.

In any case, she would change them again afterward, and she would definitely change them to the school where she worked.

Father Dai and Mother Dai’s intention had originally been for this beloved youngest daughter to study at her school. The reason, naturally, was so that someone could look after her.

She would certainly live up to everyone’s expectations and take very good care of this younger sister-in-law!

“Mm.” Dai Shiyuan nodded, revealing a proper smile, though her body was somewhat stiff.

Having her back turned to the female lead like this made her feel even more endangered, as though she might be eaten by the person behind her at any moment.

“Xiao Yuan, after submitting your preferences, just wait peacefully. With your grades, you’ll definitely get into a good university.” Shan Yaxin comforted her softly.

Dai Shiyuan continued nodding and did not explain that she was not worried about the school.

It was fine to let the female lead misunderstand like this, lest someone see through her true thoughts.

Shan Yaxin gave a light laugh. A trace of coldness flashed through her eyes. She no longer stayed here entangling with Dai Shiyuan and turned back to her own room.

Before turning on the computer, she called Mother Dai again. After the call connected, she pressed the record button and asked gently, “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?” Mother Dai scolded angrily, her face full of impatience. “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?”

“I’m sorry, Mom. I’ll do as you said right away.” Shan Yaxin’s voice sounded afraid, but there was not the slightest fearful expression on her face. She quietly waited for the other side to hang up.

Very quickly, Mother Dai cut off the call. As soon as the call ended, Shan Yaxin quickly saved the recording.

She listened to it once first. After confirming there was no problem, she stored it away.

Father Dai did not know about changing the preferences. Although keeping the younger sister-in-law here was a good thing, if the younger sister-in-law lost her temper over this matter, Father Dai would definitely protect his daughter.

As the accomplice, Shan Yaxin would inevitably be questioned. However, she absolutely would not bear the main responsibility.

After all, the mastermind was not her.

With this recording as proof, that mother-in-law of hers would have no way to shove all the blame onto her.

Shan Yaxin curved her lips into a soft smile and backed up the audio file on the computer as well.

After preserving the evidence, she opened the university preference website and entered the login name and password.

She looked over the choices Dai Shiyuan had filled in and found that there was not the slightest mistake.

Smiling, Shan Yaxin changed them without any hesitation.

This time, she filled in only one choice, and that was the school where she worked.

Even though the admission scores had not been released yet, she was absolutely certain that with Dai Shiyuan’s grades, she would definitely be able to get into this school.

In the previous life, her younger sister-in-law had been admitted to another school, but had always gone to Shan Yaxin’s school to look for her.

At that time, Shan Yaxin had innocently believed that this girl truly liked her and wanted to treat her well.

But she had never imagined that this closeness had a purpose, and even more than that, it was filled with malice.

There were just some things she found very puzzling. Over the past few days, her younger sister-in-law had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding her.

Every time she spent time with Shan Yaxin, her attitude was neither warm nor cold, nothing like how clingy she had been in the past.

And now she had even wanted to study outside the province, as if she wanted to escape this family.

Shan Yaxin did not quite understand. Her younger sister-in-law had a perfectly good life as a rich young lady to enjoy, so why did she insist on running to an unfamiliar province to suffer?

But she was not in a hurry. In the future, she would have plenty of time to understand this question.

The more this person wanted to escape, the more Shan Yaxin insisted on keeping her by her side.

The hatred from the previous life—she would repay all of it in this life.

This younger sister-in-law of hers, who looked so kind and harmless, was destined never to escape!
