Returning to the Villain Omega's High School Days - Chapter 9

Near dismissal, Xie Ning returned to the classroom to get her bag. The students in front of and behind her greeted her softly, asking where she had gone.

There was still a teacher on the podium supervising self-study. Xie Ning ignored them. She pulled out her schoolbag, and a pile of things fell out of her desk: colored paper folded into hearts, letters with love poems written on them, flowers, and chocolates.

Her deskmate’s scorpion-spirit face leaned over, happily saying to her, “Someone also gave you a journal. I know you won’t use it, so I took it first. Here, look—”

Xie Ning’s gaze fell on the B5-sized notebook in her hand. When it was opened, the pages were all colorful, printed with exquisite ancient-style patterns. There was also very beautiful fountain-pen handwriting, with one line written by hand: “Ten miles of spring breeze cannot compare to you.”

Xie Ning had never looked highly on this kind of thing, but after more than ten or twenty years had passed, no one had looked highly on her either.

After turning thirty, Xie Ning had never again received flowers or chocolates, so much so that she had even forgotten—

The person she used to be had once had this many pursuers?

She was practically like the protagonist of an anime.

Her deskmate was still immersed in her smugness. Xie Ning saw that she had already written the three characters “Zhou Dangui” in the journal, and next to it were some rough calculations for multiplication and division. Zhou Dangui said, as if it were only natural, “Xie Ning, I ran out of scratch paper, so I’m temporarily using this as scratch paper!”

Without saying another word, Xie Ning reached out and took the journal back. Right in front of Zhou Dangui, she tore out the page that had been dirtied with scribbles, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it—

With a dong, the paper ball accurately landed in the big trash can by the door.

Zhou Dangui’s eyes widened. She whispered, “What’s wrong with you? Did I make you unhappy?”

Xie Ning closed the journal and placed it on the desk. In a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, she said, “Without my permission, you’re not allowed to take my things!”

The students in front and behind her could all hear Xie Ning speaking, and they all turned their heads to watch the show.

Zhou Dangui was a little embarrassed. She explained, “Xie Ning, this wasn’t from Su Xingheng, and I thought… you were definitely going to throw it away…”

“What does this have to do with Su Xingheng?” Xie Ning rolled her eyes. “Since someone gave it to me, if I want to throw it away, I’ll throw it away. It’s not your turn to take it for free.”

Her voice rose a little, and the classroom suddenly became noisy. The person on the podium stopped what he was doing and said, “Xie Ning, don’t disturb others’ self-study.”

Zhou Dangui licked her lips and sat back down miserably, saying nothing else.

She was indeed in the wrong, but she had long since gotten used to taking things Xie Ning did not want. Xie Ning had never cared about these things before. Why had she gotten angry today?

Xie Ning picked up the notes on the floor, opened a few of them, and smiled them off. Before the bell rang, she slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out.

The journal and love letters were spread out on the desk. Since Xie Ning had spoken, no one dared to touch them.

Xie Ning stood at the door of the classroom on the fourth floor, waiting for the dismissal bell to ring and for the students to come out one by one, so she could stop Su Wan.

The bell rang. The female teacher’s voice came from inside. “Students, I’ll hold you back for another five minutes. We’ll finish explaining the subjunctive mood before class ends. All of you sit properly. Now everybody sit down, please…”

The students inside let out a wave of wails. Xie Ning also hated teachers who dragged class out. With a pa, she pushed the door open directly, interrupting the person on the podium. With her bag slung over one shoulder, she lifted her chin and said, “Class is over.”

“Whoa—” A group of people could not wait to pack up and run out. The person on the podium lost her right to speak and awkwardly put down the chalk. There were also some people who looked at Xie Ning inexplicably and slowly began packing up.

The corridor instantly became crowded. They walked past Xie Ning, but none of them were Su Wan. Someone called her “senior,” then covered their face and ran away. Someone else deliberately released pheromones, drawing a burst of mockery and roughhousing—

“Ugh, onion-scented pheromones. Might as well cut out your gland!”

“Who’s so shameless? That’s disgusting!”

“No Omega would like that smell, right? I’m going to throw up!”

After a moment of commotion, the pheromone scent faded. There were not many people left in the corridor. Su Jin slowly walked out of the classroom with her two close friends, glanced at Xie Ning, and passed by her.

Xie Ning was half a head taller than Su Jin. She stretched out an arm to block her, and Su Jin had nowhere to go.

Since she had not found Su Wan, she could only catch Su Jin first and question her.

Xie Ning had no confidence in her own memory. Perhaps at this point in time, Su Wan had not transferred to their school yet.

Xie Ning said, “I have something to ask you!”

Su Jin lifted her head to look at her. Her eyes were covered by neat bangs that almost reached her lower eyelids. She stared at Xie Ning for a full three seconds, her gaze hollow and sluggish, before she said, “What do you want to ask me?”

Xie Ning was just about to speak when she heard the system remind her in her mind, “Host, you cannot reveal information from the previous life to her!”

“Xie Ning?” Su Jin dragged out the words, speaking slowly too. Her eyes curved, and she said coldly, “Do you want to find my brother? He’s waiting for me downstairs. Do you want to walk with me?”

The moment Su Xingheng was mentioned, Xie Ning felt nauseated. She made a retching sound, looked at Su Jin with a roguish smile, and said something extremely explosive. “Su Jin, I wanted to ask you: since you’re not the Su family’s biological daughter, and the Su family’s real daughter has already been found, when do you plan to leave the Su family?”

Su Jin sucked in a cold breath. “…………”

Beside her, Su Jin’s two best friends also sucked in a cold breath. The two looked at each other, utterly shocked, covering their mouths with exaggerated expressions.

They had not heard about this at all. They only knew that Su Jin spent all day going “Brother this, Brother that,” sticking to Su Xingheng from morning to night. If Su Jin was not a member of the Su family, then what exactly was the relationship between her and the Su family?!

This piece of gossip was truly explosive!

Unlike Su Jin’s shock and fear, after their initial astonishment, the two girls became extraordinarily excited!

When Su Jin saw their expressions, she felt incomparably humiliated.

She bit her lip, looked at the two best friends with a resentful gaze, and said word by word, “You two go back first.”

The girls pretended to leave, but Su Jin still felt humiliated. She turned her head to look at Xie Ning and gritted her teeth. “I hate you!”

Xie Ning smiled and said without caring, “I thought they both knew about this. It’s not a big deal anyway. Everyone will know sooner or later.”

Su Jin’s face turned ashen. She bit her lip, tears swirling in her eyes. That expression looked extremely innocent.

“No one knows about this,” Su Jin said softly, both hands clenched into fists. “I don’t know where you heard it, but in all of Shihai High, no one knows about this at all!”

Xie Ning revealed a surprised expression. She touched her chin and said with a look of “sympathy,” “Sorry. When your brother told me, I thought lots of people knew.”

Su Jin froze, staring at Xie Ning in disbelief. Her ashen face became deathly pale, and her pupils trembled faintly.

“Brother? How could he possibly tell you this kind of thing?!” Su Jin cried out.

Xie Ning thought for a moment and said, “Maybe because I’m his fiancée.”

It was as if Su Jin had been struck by five bolts of thunder. Xie Ning only smiled, looking relaxed as she said, “After all, there’s no other place I could have learned about your Su family’s matters. Maybe your brother was careless and forgot to say that this matter needed to be kept secret.”

Every single sentence from Xie Ning was enough to make Su Jin collapse. She had spent too many years among loan sharks and knew all too well how to grasp someone else’s weak spot.

Su Jin was still too tender. A few words from Xie Ning had bluffed her completely.

Xie Ning had seen too many scenes like this, but Su Jin’s reaction still surprised her somewhat.

Her whole body trembled, her body went weak, and then she fell backward slightly, staggering against the wall. Her entire body slid downward until she was crouching on the ground, arms wrapped around her knees. Then she opened her throat and burst into tears with a loud “wa!”

Xie Ning: “……???”

Xie Ning was both angry and amused. She had not expected Su Jin’s mental state to be this fragile. She was actually sitting in the corridor wailing loudly like a three-year-old child?

Please. She was already seventeen or eighteen years old. Could she not be this weak?

How was she supposed to play with Xie Ning in the future like this?

Eliminated. Noob.

There were still a few people in the corridor. Hearing the sound, they looked over curiously. Xie Ning was certain that Su Jin’s gossip-loving best friends definitely had not gone far. They were probably standing downstairs in the stairwell with their ears perked up, secretly listening!

By tomorrow, Su Jin’s identity might spread through the entire school.

That would definitely be very lively.

Xie Ning had no sympathy for Su Jin at all. She even sort of wanted to pick her nose.

But right now, she was a beautiful young girl, wearing a skirt that let the wind blow through both legs. Picking her nose would be far too improper.

She was thinking that when something happened to Liu Ya back then, Su Jin, as Liu Ya’s biological older sister, had not felt the slightest sympathy for Liu Ya either.

She did not deserve to possess everything that belonged to Wanwan.

Still crying? The noise made Xie Ning’s head ache. She bent down, leaned close to Su Jin’s ear, and said softly, “You’re crouching down so low that everyone can see your underwear.”

Su Jin: “…”

The girl’s crying stopped abruptly. Realizing how embarrassing this was, she wiped her tears and immediately stood up. Ignoring Xie Ning, she quickly ran toward the stairwell.

She hated Xie Ning, and she could not forgive the brother who had betrayed her!

Why?

A few days ago, her father had brought someone back and planned to use that person to replace Su Jin’s position in the family. At that time, Su Jin’s heart had already been broken enough. Fortunately, her brother Su Xingheng had stepped forward and said:

“As long as I’m here, Jin’er can stay in the Su family forever!”

He had vowed so solemnly that he would protect her. But why had he told those things to a bitch like Xie Ning?!

Su Jin’s heart shattered. Her world collapsed with a roar.

She ran down the stairs and saw Su Xingheng waiting for her downstairs. Heartbroken beyond measure, she no longer wanted to pay any attention to Su Xingheng. She ran over, knocked him aside, and ran far away.

Su Xingheng did not understand the situation. He thought Su Jin was only venting her temper as usual. After playing basketball, he was covered in sweat. Just as he planned to follow her, he caught sight of Xie Ning in the stairwell.

The two looked at each other. Xie Ning’s smile disappeared completely, and ten thousand ways to kill him surfaced in her mind.
