Returning to the Villain Omega's High School Days - Chapter 27

After Su Wan came out of the bathroom, she thought it over and still decided to tell Xie Ning.

“My period came.” Su Wan tried her best not to show too much emotion.

Xie Ning looked her over and said, “What a coincidence. Mine came too.”

Su Wan was startled. “It can be that coincidental?”

Xie Ning: “Heh.”

“Could it be because of what we ate at noon…” Su Wan could not help guessing. “Was it because of something we ate?”

“No.” Xie Ning propped up her chin and looked at her with a smile. “Mine came a few days ago.”

“Oh. I think I’ve heard this can be contagious…” Su Wan moistened her throat. “Then do you have… that?”

Xie Ning asked, “Which kind? Big or small? Long or short? The kind that goes inside or the kind that goes outside?”

Su Wan bit her lower lip. “Big. Long.” After a pause, she added, “There’s also a kind that goes inside?”

Xie Ning could not help laughing. Su Wan thought about it, still not quite understanding. Xie Ning took one out from her jacket pocket and handed it to her.

Su Wan let out a breath of relief. It was like seeing a savior.

She had been worried she would have to go upstairs and rummage through her mother’s room to look for sanitary pads. She really did not want to do that!

If she found them, that would be fine. But what if she could not?

Going out to buy some now was not impossible either, but if she got caught in the rain on the way back, her body would probably feel awful.

Su Wan took it inside, put it on properly, and changed clothes. A moment later, she smelled ginger drifting from the kitchen. She walked over to look and saw Xie Ning inside, cooking something.

Su Wan was surprised. “Where did you find all this?”

“Ginger. What kitchen doesn’t have ginger?” Xie Ning had her back to her, seriously stirring whatever was in the small pot as she said, “I looked it up. Drinking this during your period is good and can make you feel more comfortable. My mom used to make it for me too.”

Su Wan said, “Your mom… when she passed away, weren’t you only four?”

Xie Ning paused. “I misspoke. It should’ve been Aunt Jiang who made it for me.”

Why did Su Wan not believe that at all? She always felt that Xie Ning’s words were half-true and half-false. But even if she fully believed Xie Ning, it did not seem like there would be anything bad about it.

After all, life was so bitter, and Xie Ning’s words were mixed with honey. She liked listening to them. To die with honey in her mouth on a cold night would still be better than muddling through life with resentment and venom.

Inside the milky-white ceramic pot was brownish-yellow ginger soup, and the scent in the air came from it. Su Wan watched Xie Ning adjust the heat and slowly add milk. The soup changed color like seasoning being mixed in. Xie Ning also cut a few dates and put them inside. It looked strangely pretty.

“Ginger milk. Drink a little while it’s hot.” Xie Ning ladled out a small bowl for her.

Su Wan blinked and said seriously, “You drink too.”

“All right.”

The two of them each carried a small bowl and sat on the sofa. Xie Ning also peeled out a red pill for Su Wan and explained, “Painkiller. Usually, you need to take it in advance. If you wait until it hurts before taking it, it won’t be as effective.”

Su Wan found it very strange. “How did you even find this?”

Xie Ning pointed at the Su family’s cabinet. “Such a big medicine box. It has everything inside.”

After drinking the milky soup, Su Wan leaned against the sofa and did not want to move at all.

Her stomach gradually warmed a little, and she felt much more comfortable, so warm that she only wanted to sleep.

Outside the window, the fierce wind howled, and raindrops crackled against the glass. But now, she was not afraid at all.

Seeing that Su Wan had closed her eyes and stayed still for a long time, Xie Ning covered her with a blanket, then quietly walked to the door, dug through her own bag, took out a game console, and sat on the sofa to play.

She was extremely calm when playing games. She sat upright with her legs crossed, never swaying around, and even when she reached an exciting part, she would not smash the controller.

Su Wan was not deeply asleep. She woke a few times and observed for a long time before realizing Xie Ning was playing a game.

Xie Ning noticed she was awake and turned back to look at her. “Do you feel better?”

Su Wan nodded and said, “What time is it?”

“Nine fifty-seven.” Xie Ning glanced at her watch and answered.

Su Wan tilted her head and looked at Xie Ning. After a while, she said, “What time can you stay until?”

Xie Ning paused the game and sat a little closer to her, smiling as she asked, “Why don’t you ask when your parents are coming back?”

Su Wan rolled her eyes upward slightly and said with a calm face, “If they come back, won’t you have to leave?”

Xie Ning said, “I can stay. I saw that your room was moved over there. It should be no problem for two people to sleep there.”

Su Wan gave a soft “mm,” only wanting to tell her that this time, she could not go back on her word.

Su Wan sat up a little straighter and finally saw the game console in Xie Ning’s hands clearly. In her impression, Su Xingheng seemed to have one too. They all liked playing this kind of thing.

Seeing her staring, Xie Ning asked, “Do you want to watch me play? I’m very good at games.”

Su Wan’s lips moved. “How good?”

“Some streamers aren’t even as good as me,” Xie Ning said. “If I opened a livestream room, there would definitely be millions of people watching me play games.”

The corners of Su Wan’s lips curved slightly, and she said softly, “Then can you come a little closer?”

Xie Ning scooted closer, sitting beside Su Wan. Su Wan shared half the blanket with her, and her hand touched Xie Ning’s waist. Xie Ning’s movements paused. She felt that tonight’s game might be a little hard to play.

After playing for half an hour, seeing that Su Wan was getting sleepy again, Xie Ning turned back and asked, “Do you want to sleep in bed?”

Su Wan nodded.

Xie Ning followed her over and asked if Su Wan had pants she could change into. Su Wan found a pair for her from the empty wardrobe.

Xie Ning went into the bathroom to change.

Su Wan found it strange. That day, when Xie Ning had handed her underwear to her, she had not seemed embarrassed. Then, thinking again, perhaps Xie Ning needed to change her sanitary pad.

The bed was one meter sixty wide, more than enough for two girls. Even squeezing in one big dog plush would not be a problem.

But Su Wan felt that Xie Ning should not be wronged.

She placed the big dog on the chair and slept in the corner against the wall, making space for Xie Ning.

Xie Ning went upstairs to get another blanket, then lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Su Wan fell asleep very quickly. Xie Ning was completely sleepless.

After half an hour, she heard movement outside. It was the Su family returning after dinner. The family of four were talking and laughing, and Su Jin was singing, clearly in a very good mood.

Fang Lingyu pushed Su Wan’s door open a crack and glanced inside. After making sure she was already asleep, she turned back and told the others to keep their voices down.

The others did not listen. Su Jin was still running on the stairs. Fang Lingyu pointed at Xie Ning’s shoes and made a “shh” gesture.

Everyone was puzzled. Fang Lingyu whispered, “Xie Ning is at home!”

Su Jin’s face changed. “Xie Ning? Why is she in our house?”

Su Xingheng stood up and said, “Is she asleep?”

Su Yuanfu, meanwhile, cared about another matter. “Has she already differentiated?”

Su Xingheng said, “Maybe. Otherwise, why would she sleep with Su Wan?”

Su Jin did not understand. Su Xingheng lowered his voice and explained, “Omegas are attracted to each other. Because Omegas are naturally fragile and sensitive, they feel less secure toward the outside world and like huddling together for warmth. Differentiated Omegas are even more like that. She’s willing to get close to Su Wan. Maybe that’s the reason.”

Su Jin was dissatisfied. “I’m an Omega too…”

“You’re different,” Su Xingheng said. “You and Xie Ning have different auras. You don’t get along that easily.”

Everyone else had reason to believe Su Xingheng’s explanation.

Aside from huddling together for warmth, they could not think of any other reason Xie Ning would be willing to get close to Su Wan.

Su Wan was so ordinary. Perhaps it was only because she was Su Xingheng’s younger sister, because she was an undifferentiated Omega, that Xie Ning treated her well.

When Xie Ning woke up, she was still very sleepy. Only when she realized Su Wan was not in bed did she notice Su Wan was buried in her homework.

Xie Ning checked her watch. Five forty-five.

Her Wanwan really worked hard.

At six, Xie Ning crawled up and saw Su Wan had drawn many diagrams on the scratch paper, seemingly troubled by a three-dimensional geometry problem. She remembered that solid geometry was her strong suit, so she leaned over to look.

Without turning her head, Su Wan stopped her pen and pointed at the exercise. “Xie Ning, do you know how to solve this?”

Xie Ning said, “What don’t I know?”

Su Wan did not believe her at all. How could someone who wanted to repeat a grade possibly solve this kind of final difficult problem?

But it was still early. She was willing to give Xie Ning a chance.

After Xie Ning finished looking at the diagram and drew an auxiliary line, Su Wan clapped in admiration.

The geometric model became extremely clear and obvious, and the solution immediately surged through Su Wan’s mind. She instantly took the exercise book and quickly wrote down the answer.

At seven, the others were also ready to go to school. Su Xingheng knocked twice on Su Wan’s door before directly pushing it open and greeting Xie Ning. “Xie Ning, morning.”

“Morning.” Xie Ning glanced at him, knowing what he wanted to say before he even opened his mouth.

Sure enough, Su Xingheng asked, “Is Uncle Ling picking you up and taking you to school today?”

Xie Ning said, “He’s already downstairs.”

Su Wan: “???”

The four of them squeezed into one car again. However, this time, Xie Ning sat in the front passenger seat, while Su Wan sat by the window in the back.

Fang Lingyu had not fully woken up at all. Wearing her pajamas, she saw them out and thanked Xie Ning repeatedly.

The whole way, Su Jin did not dare make a sound. Even when getting out of the car, she thanked Xie Ning.

Xie Ning acted as if she had not heard and walked toward the school gate, until someone stopped her—

The new security guard was a fierce and straightforward Alpha. He did not know Xie Ning, and the moment he opened his mouth, his tone was extremely fierce. “Are you a student or a teacher? If you’re a student, why aren’t you wearing your uniform?”

There were many people at the gate, and many of them were frightened by the security guard and kept hiding backward.

Xie Ning rubbed her temples and wanted to say something, but at this moment, Su Wan appeared in front of her, acting as if she were protecting her. She said to the security guard, “Go call your leader over. Ask your leader whether she’s not allowed into school just because she isn’t wearing her uniform.”

Seeing Su Wan stand up for her, Xie Ning was stunned!

Was Su Wan still the same Su Wan who had just arrived? She had already started arguing with security guards?

She quickly held Su Wan’s hand and said to the security guard, “I forgot my uniform at home. Is it okay if I wear it tomorrow?”

“…” The security guard had never seen someone so calm and righteous. Only after his colleague tugged him did he close his mouth.

When Su Xingheng entered the school gate, Xie Ning heard the security guard shout, “What class are you in? Does your class allow hair this long?”

Su Xingheng: “…???”

He had even had hair longer than this before. When had a security guard ever stopped him?

Xie Ning turned back to look and saw Su Xingheng explain to the security guard for a long time. In the end, the security guard said, “What kind of attitude is that? Call your parent over immediately!”

Su Xingheng was so angry he pushed him. That young security guard did not give way either, and the two tangled together. In the end, Su Yuanfu was still called to the school.

Xie Ning heard the system sigh in her mind.

“What’s wrong?”

“Host, the protagonist’s luck value is far too low. The server is now deeply worried for him.”

Xie Ning said, “So you’ve never worried about me?”

“The server worries about Host too, but Host’s luck value has been increasing all along, so the server doesn’t need to worry at all. It’s just that on the villain’s side…”

Xie Ning immediately became nervous. “What happened to Wanwan?”

The system said with a worried expression, “Her resentment value and blackening value haven’t risen. Yesterday was supposed to be such a critical plot, but nothing happened. Wasn’t there supposed to be a stranger knocking on the door last night? And after the Su family came back, they were supposed to lose their temper at the villain, blaming her for not closing the doors and windows properly, causing water to enter the house and the power to go out. None of that happened!”

Xie Ning smiled. “I just read that book. I remember these plots. How could I let the same things happen again?”

The system said, “But how can the villain be cultivated like this? There needs to be a villain opposing the protagonist! A villain with the strength to destroy the protagonist…”

Xie Ning said, “Don’t I look like one?”

The system sighed. After a long while, it said, “All right, then. You know the next plot, right? The campus riot. The protagonist will perform outstandingly during this riot and become someone everyone worships. At the same time, he saves Ma Chuchu, who will be his first wife in the future. As the villain, you must interfere with the plot.”

Xie Ning said, “That suits me perfectly.”
