Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 6

After resolving the matter of her university preferences, the largest stone weighing on Dai Shiyuan’s heart finally landed.

Now, all she had to do was obediently stay in her room every day, reduce her contact with the female lead, wait until the admission notice arrived, and then find an excuse to move near the school early.

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

Dai Shiyuan sat at the desk, both hands propping up her small face. Her eyes curved as she admired the scenery outside the window, her mind constantly imagining the beautiful blueprint of her future life.

The weather today was quite good. The sunlight was strong, and when it fell across the grass, she could even see waves of heat rising in clusters.

Although it was a little hot, it did not affect one’s good mood.

The corners of Dai Shiyuan’s mouth lifted. Her large eyes looked at the blue sky, and she happily swayed left and right.

She had not enjoyed this kind of peaceful and beautiful life in a very long time.

After graduation, she had always been busy with work. She spent the entire day in a tense state, and even when she slept, she did not dare to relax. Sometimes, when she received a client’s call in the middle of the night, she still had to go out.

Now, with her current identity, she did not have to worry about food or clothing, and she could even enjoy all kinds of luxury goods.

This was a life she had once longed for but had not dared to imagine.

The admission notice should arrive very soon. When the time came, she absolutely could not let anyone send her to school, especially not the female lead.

Once she arrived at school, she would rent a one-bedroom apartment.

It did not need to be large. It only needed to be warm and cozy enough.

On weekends when she had no classes, she could cook and enjoy a peaceful life by herself.

Because her mother had been busy with work since she was young, Dai Shiyuan had started learning how to cook at a very early age. She was quite good at all kinds of home-style dishes.

Dai Shiyuan imagined her beautiful future life, her eyes growing brighter and brighter. She could not help lowering her head and laughing.

When she raised her head again, two people had appeared within her field of vision, and one of their figures made her heart jolt.

Although the female lead was somewhat far away from her, every time Dai Shiyuan saw the female lead, her heart would always shrink.

Standing beside the female lead was a maid in the villa. Usually, she was specifically responsible for cleaning the male lead’s mother’s room, and she was a little arrogant.

According to the butler, her name seemed to be Ping Xue.

“Shan Yaxin, if you don’t finish pulling out all this grass today, don’t even think about resting.” Ping Xue spoke with a fierce expression, forcefully throwing the gloves in her hand onto the ground.

The originally clean gloves were immediately stained with dust and some scraps of grass.

Seeing this scene, Dai Shiyuan’s curiosity was instantly aroused. She widened her eyes and looked outside.

If she had not seen wrong, this maid was bullying the female lead, right?

No matter what, the female lead was still the young madam of this family. How could a mere maid dare to call the female lead directly by name and even order her around?

Dai Shiyuan’s brows furrowed lightly, her small face filled with confusion.

Outside, the maid continued mocking the female lead with cold ridicule. Yet the female lead did not say a single word. Instead, she really obediently crouched down and picked up the gloves that had already been dirtied.

Watching the female lead pick up the gloves and put them on with a normal expression, the doubt in Dai Shiyuan’s eyes grew heavier and heavier.

Was the female lead’s personality really this good?

But why was it that every time Dai Shiyuan saw the female lead, she could always sense a frightening chill from her?

Dai Shiyuan frowned, her body trembling slightly.

In order to see more clearly, she directly stood up and leaned her head out the window.

“Who told you to start pulling grass from the shaded area? Go pull the parts under the sun first. You don’t do your work properly and only know how to slack off.” Ping Xue stood in the shade and scolded loudly.

Her raised chin was full of arrogance, as if she were the mistress of this house.

Dai Shiyuan’s brows furrowed even more deeply. Her eyes flickered twice, and she continued watching the scene.

Right now, she needed to confirm whether the female lead was truly gentle and kind.

In the original novel, the female lead was often bullied by others and suffered many grievances in this wealthy family, but she never fought back or explained herself.

Only after returning three years later did she seem to become a different person, turning strong and making the male lead’s family see her in a new light.

Dai Shiyuan looked outside and thought for a while. In the end, she still decided not to speak.

The female lead did not answer Ping Xue’s words. She only silently pulled weeds, one after another, her movements quick.

Ping Xue stood there supervising for a while before leaving, going who knew where.

Without anyone supervising her, the female lead did not slack off. She continued pulling weeds, and even when the back of her clothes became soaked with sweat, she did not stop.

Watching this, Dai Shiyuan could not help feeling puzzled.

This female lead really did look quite easy to bully. Even after being scolded like this, she did not talk back and obediently listened.

But why was it that every time she looked at Dai Shiyuan, her eyes carried a chill that made one tremble?

Dai Shiyuan was silently thinking this in her heart when, without warning, she met a pair of cold, indifferent eyes, scaring her stiff in place.

Just now, the female lead had actually turned around… and their gazes had met.

Did the female lead know she was secretly watching?

Dai Shiyuan’s heart tightened, and she slammed the window shut.

Only after quite a while did her heartbeat return to normal. She could not help secretly opening a tiny crack in the window.

This time, she saw that the female lead had turned around again, but her gaze was not looking toward Dai Shiyuan’s side. Instead, it was directed at the basket beside her.

So earlier, the female lead had not actually been looking at her. She had only turned around to put the grass into the basket.

Dai Shiyuan secretly watched for a while and grew more and more certain that her guess was correct.

She had only been scaring herself. The female lead had not looked at her at all.

Dai Shiyuan let out a breath of relief and continued staring at the female lead through the crack.

Before long, Ping Xue returned, holding an ice cream in her hand.

She took two bites, then smiled mockingly at the female lead. “Shan Yaxin, why are you working so slowly? At this rate, you won’t even be finished by noon.”

Shan Yaxin did not answer. She continued pulling weeds. As for this arrogant maid, she would naturally deal with her in the future.

Using the motion of turning back, she glanced at that tightly shut window.

She was certain that someone had to be behind that window.

The other party was probably taking delight in this disaster right now, watching everything unfold.

If Dai Shiyuan was truly pure and kind, how could she watch with her own eyes as Ping Xue bullied her and not speak up to stop it?

It seemed this younger sister-in-law of hers could hardly wait for someone to bully her.

Shan Yaxin lowered her eyes. A trace of coldness flashed through them as she pulled weeds expressionlessly.

Each time, she uprooted the grass completely, using so much force that it seemed as if she were venting.

“Do you even know how to pull weeds? You can’t even do such a small thing properly, and you still want to be the young madam?” Ping Xue sneered, her face full of contempt.

Shan Yaxin ignored her and continued what she was doing without saying a word.

Once again, she turned back and glanced at that window. It was still tightly shut.

Or rather, it should be said that there was a crack, only from her angle, she could not see it.

How could that younger sister-in-law of hers, who liked watching her be bullied, really close the window tightly and miss this good show?

Dai Shiyuan watched as the female lead kept turning back again and again. She kept feeling as though those eyes of the female lead were looking toward her.

Was she blaming Dai Shiyuan for not helping?

Dai Shiyuan frowned and felt somewhat guilty. At once, she no longer had the mood to keep watching.

With her identity, she could stop Ping Xue from bullying the female lead, but she did not want to do that.

First, she wanted to test the female lead’s limit of endurance. Second, with this Ping Xue here attracting the female lead’s hatred, Dai Shiyuan would be much safer by comparison.

Dai Shiyuan carefully closed the window tightly and returned to the bed to lie down.

From outside, the maid’s sharp reprimands could be heard from time to time, each one harsher than the last, yet there was no sign of the female lead saying anything in response.

Dai Shiyuan listened carefully, hoping the female lead would retort with a few words.

But to her disappointment, the maid scolded her for a long time, and the female lead remained silent throughout.

This was quite in line with the female lead’s kind and weak personality in the early part of the story.

After there were no more sounds outside, Dai Shiyuan blinked, turned over, got out of bed, and came to the window.

Looking at the tightly closed window in front of her, she frowned and hesitated for a while before finally stretching out her fair, tender arm and opening a tiny crack.

She did not dare open it too wide. Otherwise, it would be bad if the female lead saw her.

If the female lead blamed her for not helping, then Dai Shiyuan truly would not be able to explain herself clearly.

Through the crack, Dai Shiyuan saw that both people outside had disappeared.

She blinked curiously, opened the window a little more, and looked around to the left and right, but still did not see the female lead.

Dai Shiyuan gradually opened the window all the way and continued searching for the female lead’s figure.

Suddenly, there came a knock from outside the door. She was so frightened that her hand slipped, and her whole body directly bumped into the desk.

Dai Shiyuan clutched her aching chest, her small face scrunching up. Enduring the pain, she said “come in” toward the outside.

“Xiao Yuan, it’s time to go eat lunch.” Shan Yaxin opened the door and said. She had already changed into another outfit.

Dai Shiyuan immediately nodded, her fingers rubbing the painful spot twice.

Seeing this scene, Shan Yaxin glanced at the open window, and a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.

Was this woman deliberately putting on an aggrieved appearance for her to see because she knew Shan Yaxin was about to come in?

She would not fall for it!

And now, she was even more certain that this seemingly pure person had witnessed the entire scene of the maid bullying her, yet had not spoken a single word.

She had not even dared to show her face.

What was laughable was that after the matter ended, she had actually opened the window openly and brazenly.

Was this not plainly telling Shan Yaxin that she had done it on purpose?

Feeling the female lead’s unfriendly gaze, Dai Shiyuan quickly straightened her body and revealed a smile.

Shan Yaxin returned her smile, then turned and left the room.

Watching the female lead’s figure disappear, Dai Shiyuan began wailing quietly and continued rubbing the painful spot.

She did not quite understand. When the female lead was being bullied by the maid, she had clearly looked weak and pitiful. Why was it that the moment she appeared before Dai Shiyuan, she carried such a chill?

Sure enough, she still had to stay far away from the female lead.
