Reborn as the Goddess's Scum Top Girlfriend - Chapter 1

The sound of ‘beep, beep, beep’ echoed through the empty, quiet room, like an impatient urge in one’s ear, making it intensely irritating.

Guan Ju subconsciously frowned. Before opening her eyes, she planned to hit the snooze button and catch a little more sleep.

Anyway, the class later wasn’t important, and being a few minutes late wouldn’t hurt.

The moment she reached out, she realized her body couldn’t move at all. It felt uncomfortable, as if a rock was pressing down on her.

Guan Ju’s heart tightened. She struggled desperately to open her eyes, finally managing to crack open a tiny slit after a long effort.

The first thing she saw was a pure white ceiling.

She was certain this was absolutely not her dorm room.

Their dorm room was nowhere near this clean.

Next to her, there was a black silhouette, which looked a bit like a person’s head.

At the same time, a distinct odor wafted into her nose, somewhat pungent and unpleasant.

It smelled like disinfectant.

Wait a minute, disinfectant…

A flash of light suddenly went off in Guan Ju’s mind—she seemed to recall a car suddenly swerving and hitting her.

She had fallen to the ground before she could even react.

Before she passed out, she only heard a burst of noisy voices. She woke up right here.

It seemed the hit-and-run driver had a shred of conscience and sent her to the hospital.

Guan Ju thought with bittersweet amusement, her eyes gradually opening and her field of vision widening.

When her eyes were fully open, she finally saw the person slumped on the bedside.

It was…

Her secret crush…

Bai! Wei! Xi!

Guan Ju’s mind instantly went blank. She stared in disbelief at that beautiful face that had haunted her dreams.

Even though the person was currently asleep, there was no way she could be mistaken.

To wake up and find the goddess she had secretly admired for years so close—she wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a thing.

But this was all real.

Guan Ju’s heart pounded nervously, her eyes radiating an unusual excitement. She frantically tried to figure out the first thing she should say to her goddess when she woke up.

Should she say, “Hello, I’m your super fan and have liked you for a long time,” or should she tell her goddess that she didn’t mind the car accident?

Guan Ju was a little conflicted, afraid of leaving a bad first impression.

Just as the two little people in her heart were wrestling, the person at the bedside moved slightly.

The movement was subtle, easy to miss if one wasn’t looking closely.

But Guan Ju was startled, her heart skipping a beat. Subconsciously, she squeezed her eyes shut.

Once her vision was blocked, her hearing became clearer. She could now hear her own frantic heartbeat. Did her goddess hear it?

If she did, that would be so embarrassing!

Guan Ju was in internal panic, but her face was calm and composed.

If her goddess didn’t look too closely, she probably wouldn’t notice she was faking sleep.

After waiting for a while with her eyes closed, Guan Ju felt the person beside her sit up and seemingly stare at her.

“A’Ju, please wake up soon. As long as you are safe and sound, I will agree to anything you ask.”

The goddess spoke!

Her voice was gentle and soft, like a breeze passing by.

It was incredibly pleasant to listen to.

Guan Ju felt a wave of happiness, lightheaded and tempted to grin, but she forced herself to hold back, remembering the situation.

After a few seconds, reason returned, and Guan Ju frowned slightly.

The goddess’s words didn’t sound like the attitude one would have towards a stranger; the intimate and pleading tone was like that reserved for a lover.

A lover…

This word with its special meaning made Guan Ju feel a pang of sadness.

She knew that the goddess had a girlfriend.

A year ago, the goddess came out on Weibo and announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.

Retiring at the peak of her career for the sake of love—this move shocked everyone.

When Guan Ju heard the news, she secretly cried all night, and like a madwoman, she sent countless confession messages to the goddess in the private chat interface on Weibo, even though the other party couldn’t see a single one.

“A’Ju, I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have made you angry…” Bai Weixi whispered softly, tears silently falling.

Even with light makeup, the exhaustion on her face couldn’t be masked.

Guan Ju’s sensitive hearing picked up the sadness and distress in the words, and she immediately felt a heartache.

She was about to offer a few words of comfort when she suddenly heard the door open.

This was immediately followed by the loud, grating noise of high heels scraping the floor.

“What’s the use of crying now? If it weren’t for you, how could my sister have gotten into a car accident? You’re a jinx, why wasn’t it you who got hurt?” The newcomer wore exquisite makeup, but her words were extremely nasty.

Bai Weixi didn’t argue, but silently turned her head to wipe her tears.

Hearing this, a surge of anger rushed into Guan Ju’s chest. She stopped pretending to sleep and angrily opened her eyes to glare at the person. “She didn’t do it on purpose, why are your words so harsh?”

The person was stunned by the reprimand, froze on the spot, and then widened her eyes in disbelief after recovering. “Sister, you actually scolded me?”

“So what if I scolded you? Shouldn’t you be scolded when you speak so nastily?” Guan Ju retorted righteously, while secretly glancing at the person next to her.

What surprised her was that the goddess also had an expression of disbelief, as if she had done something very strange.

Guan Ju couldn’t figure it out.

She met that face—unfamiliar yet familiar—and gently forced a polite and friendly smile.

She absolutely had to leave a good first impression on her goddess.

Bai Weixi froze again, tears gradually welling up in her eyes.

Guan Ju wanted to reach out to wipe the tears, but was afraid of startling her, so she just offered a comforting smile.

Seeing this, the person reacted as if she had seen a ghost, hastily running outside and shouting, “Doctor, come quick! My sister’s mind is messed up…”

Your mind is messed up!

Guan Ju silently retorted in her heart.

The room fell quiet for a moment. The goddess seemed lost in thought and didn’t speak.

Guan Ju cooperated by staying silent, but her eyes kept darting to the side.

She noticed that up close, the goddess was much thinner than she appeared on TV. Describing her as ‘skin and bones’ was not an exaggeration.

She was 1.65 meters tall, yet looked under 70 pounds.

On her small, palm-sized face, her eyes were exceptionally prominent. It wasn’t that they weren’t beautiful, but they looked heart-wrenching.

The goddess’s eyes had always been praised as “autumn water condensation,” mesmerizing and soul-stirring with every glance.

But now, those eyes, which should have been full of confidence, were dull and filled with timidity and caution.

The goddess must have had a terrible year.

Guan Ju still remembered the last fan meeting, where the goddess had smiled with eyes full of happiness, as if she owned the whole world.

Although sad, she had joined everyone else in sending blessings.

“A’Ju, no… Miss Guan, I’m just glad you’re okay…” Bai Weixi whispered, avoiding eye contact, as if afraid of making her angry.

Guan Ju’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this.

She finally felt that something was wrong.

She didn’t know the person who had just run out, but the person had called her ‘Sister.’

She was an only child and had no siblings.

The more Guan Ju thought about it, the more confused she became. Her eyes darted around the room, and when they landed on a full-length mirror, she was utterly astonished.

The face in the mirror—that cold yet slightly wicked face—was absolutely not her!

“What is going on…” Guan Ju felt a surge of panic and murmured with her head down.

Hearing the sound, Bai Weixi stood up with concern. After a moment of hesitation, she gently soothed, “Miss Guan, you were in a car accident and hurt your forehead and face. The doctor said you won’t be disfigured, so please don’t worry.”

“Miss Guan… who am I…” Guan Ju uncontrollably raised her head, stared at the person in the mirror for a while, and slowly closed her eyes.

Bai Weixi watched, worried sick, and dared to step closer.

She wanted to reach out, but withdrew her hand just before touching her.

“Are you okay… I’ll call the doctor,” Bai Weixi said softly.

The moment she turned to leave, her arm was suddenly grasped, startling her into rigidity.

Guan Ju felt the arm in her hand stiffen. Realizing she had lost control, she quickly withdrew her hand and apologized, “I’m sorry… I’m too emotional… I really don’t know how to accept this fact…”

Listening to the incoherent words, Bai Weixi lowered her eyelids, her expression a mix of disappointment and relief, only rubbing the spot that had been grabbed repeatedly.

Guan Ju finished speaking and, after a long silence without a response, looked up to see the person in front of her looking forlorn. A wave of heartache welled up in her.

Connecting all the events, a bold idea popped into her head.

“Are we in a relationship?” Guan Ju asked quietly.

Thanks to the expressionless face, she managed to suppress her inner excitement and nervousness.

Hearing this, Bai Weixi sharply lifted her head, tears flowing out involuntarily.

Guan Ju momentarily panicked and quickly lowered her head to apologize, “I’m sorry… I…”

“A’Ju, are you willing to acknowledge me as your girlfriend?” Bai Weixi asked through her tears, her lips curving into a slight, sweet smile.

Guan Ju felt as if she was seeing the goddess who smiled so happily at the fan meeting. Her heart was choked up for a moment, and she lowered her head without responding.

“Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to be my sister’s girlfriend? You’re just a pet.” A sharp, arrogant female voice rang out. Following her were several doctors and nurses.

Bai Weixi’s face turned pale. She silently moved to the side, allowing the doctor to examine the person in the bed.

Hearing this, Guan Ju glared unhappily at the woman who had entered and sternly rebuked her, “Please respect Sister Xi, she is not a pet.”

“Sister, did you hit your head? Why are you always defending that woman? Have you forgotten that if she hadn’t angered you, you wouldn’t have had the car accident?” The woman unhappily stamped her foot, her high heels emitting an irritating sound.

However, she was completely unaware of her rudeness, and her eyes contemptuously focused on Bai Weixi.

Bai Weixi silently lowered her head and didn’t say a word, only her downcast eyes betraying her thoughts.

It had been a long time since this person had treated her gently. Defending her like this seemed to be a first, stirring a trace of sweetness in her heart.

Guan Ju continued to glare fiercely at the speaker, reminding her coldly, “She is my girlfriend. Please be respectful. If you cannot do that, please leave. You are not welcome here.”

“You…” The woman’s face cycled between green and white from anger. She stomped her foot and actually ran out.

Guan Ju let out a smug scoff from her nose, finally feeling a bit of her anger subside.

She would never let anyone off lightly for daring to bully her goddess.
