The Male Lead's Sister Reborn (GL) - Chapter 24

Jiang Qian was originally aiming for Shen Xiruo’s lips, but unfortunately, she flinched at the last moment. She veered off and bit Shen Xiruo’s cheek instead.

Shen Xiruo cried out in pain, “Ouch…”

Jiang Qian quickly lifted her head and saw that her teeth had knocked against Shen Xiruo’s cheekbone, leaving a tooth mark on Shen Xiruo’s face.

It was so ludicrous and funny that she burst out laughing. All her previous ambition and fighting spirit were completely dissolved by this tooth mark.

“Hahahaha… I’m so sorry, I hurt you, hahahaha…” Jiang Qian swayed with laughter as she got off the sofa and stood on the floor, reaching out to help Shen Xiruo up.

Shen Xiruo took her hand and sat up, touching her cheek. She also found it a little funny, but then she felt a slight sense of regret that it was over so quickly.

She pointed a finger at Jiang Qian’s face.

Jiang Qian finally snapped back to reality and realized what she had just done.

She had actually pinned down the super terrifying President Shen on the sofa! And had bitten her exquisite face, leaving a tooth mark!

If she told this to others, it would surely frighten President Shen’s employees, including Zhu Yu and President Shen’s friends like Li Hong!

But on second thought, she felt rather proud. I dared to do what others wouldn’t. I dared to touch the President Shen that no one dared to touch. And she only lets me touch her, hehehe.

Thinking this, Jiang Qian giggled foolishly and asked Shen Xiruo with a cheeky smile, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Xiruo: “Your lip… is it broken?”

Jiang Qian touched her lip, feeling a trace of blood, and only then did she belatedly feel a burning pain.

“Ah! My tooth broke it…”

Shen Xiruo’s expression became difficult to describe, and she finally smiled faintly: “So this is the consequence of provoking a horny lesb—… a gay person?”

Shen Xiruo wasn’t very familiar with this internal slang and stumbled over the word. Immediately, the atmosphere in the room became strange.

“It’s ‘lesbian’! Not ‘lesbian, lesbian’! A difference of one word makes a huge difference!” Jiang Qian cried out in embarrassment, flustered.

Not only did Jiang Qian’s mouth hurt now, but her face was also starting to hurt.

Who would have thought she was such a chicken? She clearly wanted to kiss Shen Xiruo fiercely but ended up injuring herself, which hurt her “lesbian” prestige!

But why, when facing Shen Xiruo, did I suddenly veer away and not dare to really kiss her?

She also blamed herself for being so swept away by Shen Xiruo’s kiss just now, losing her mind to lust, that her aim was off.

Shen Xiruo smiled sweetly, though she was also a little nervous, but after thinking it over, she decided to say, “Think about it carefully. If I disliked you, how could I have… ahem… with you the first time we met?”

Jiang Qian actually knew that Shen Xiruo didn’t dislike her, but tonight, perhaps due to the confession, she was in a strange state of excitement. She couldn’t sort out many of her emotions. A mix of anxiety, melancholy, panic, and bashfulness combined, making her behavior and speech eccentric.

Her relentless questioning of Shen Xiruo was, in a way, a questioning of her own heart. No one is naturally able to accept their own truth. Jiang Qian knew she still had some issues, and all those issues seemed to erupt tonight.

Fortunately, Shen Xiruo had indeed always been gentle, caring, and cautious with her—truly a model best friend.

Jiang Qian bowed formally to Shen Xiruo: “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you before. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Shen Xiruo waved her hand and patted the sofa seat beside her: “Come and sit down. Let’s keep watching TV.”

Jiang Qian went over and sat down blankly. She watched TV for a long time but didn’t absorb a single scene.

Her mind was full of Shen Xiruo.

Shen Xiruo’s natural body scent was still faintly wafting over, subtle and elusive, yet impossible to ignore, driving her nearly insane.

When she could no longer bear it, Jiang Qian suddenly stood up and said stiffly, “I, I’m going to the bathroom!”

She ran quickly to the bathroom, gasping for air, and looked at herself in the mirror.

She saw her face was flushed crimson, the trace of the cut on her lip was increasingly visible, and her eyes were shining like two large light bulbs.

So, this was the face she had while sitting next to Shen Xiruo, pretending to be calm? Shen Xiruo must have noticed her abnormality long ago! So embarrassing!

Jiang Qian quickly splashed cold water on her face, trying to reduce the intense heat on her cheeks.

After she finally cooled down and came out of the shower, she was red again.

Wearing a bathrobe, Jiang Qian took several deep breaths, then opened the bathroom door.

Shen Xiruo was standing right outside the bathroom door. She smiled at her: “I thought you’d fallen in.”

Jiang Qian subconsciously pulled her bathrobe collar tighter, and her face instantly turned red.

“I, I showered…”

Shen Xiruo deliberately looked her up and down and said, “Mm, I can see that.”

Jiang Qian lowered her head meekly, wrapped her collar tightly, and started to walk out.

But as she walked, she stepped directly into Shen Xiruo’s arms.

Shen Xiruo opened her arms and wrapped them around her neck, embracing her seemingly casually.

It didn’t last long, only a few seconds, then she released her and walked into the bathroom herself.

Jiang Qian stood stunned in place, only feeling the warm fragrance that enveloped her come and go, leaving her feeling quite weak.

The sound of the bathroom door closing came from behind, startling Jiang Qian. She immediately ran to the bedroom, closed the door, and flew onto the bed.

She rolled around on the bed several times, buried her face in the pillow, and silently screamed.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with me!

Jiang Qian didn’t dare to contemplate that possibility, instead burying herself in the pillow and muffling all sounds with the duvet, not letting a single sound escape.

The night passed like this. After this night, Jiang Qian returned to her university dorm the next morning.

The reason she gave Shen Xiruo was that she needed to pack her things, take graduation photos, and stay in the dorm for a while longer. Afterward, she would rent an apartment on her own, as she couldn’t keep staying at Shen Xiruo’s place.

Shen Xiruo did not object.

However, not long after, Jiang Qian discovered that the apartment Li Hong rented for her was in Shen Xiruo’s community.

Li Hong’s official reason was: “This community has the best security in all of City A, and many famous celebrities live here, which can help you network.”

Jiang Qian absolutely did not believe that Shen Xiruo had nothing to do with this, but she was only a small celebrity and had to follow the management company’s arrangements.

While Jiang Qian was handling miscellaneous school affairs, the drama Affectionate You aired.

Overnight, screenshots, comments, and news related to the drama appeared everywhere, dominating the entire network. All kinds of discussions, shares, recommendations, and memes emerged endlessly.

The drama focused on a sweet yet angsty idol romance. The plot was melodramatic but exciting, with many novel lines and content. It quickly attracted a large audience eager for updates.

On the drama’s main topic page, various discussions were plentiful, mostly revolving around the female lead.

“I planned to watch the drama just to happily mock the pure, ‘white lotus’ female lead, but I ended up binge-watching to the latest update. So good!”

“What’s the deal with the female lead? Before watching, I thought she was just a pure college student who climbed her way up by cozying up to a sugar daddy. After watching, I think she might be acting naturally. Why are her acting skills so authentic? Regardless of whether she has a sugar daddy or not, she definitely has skill.”

“And she even overshadows the male lead… In some scenes, the male lead can’t quite keep up with her pace. Puts on a helmet and asks male lead fans not to blast me!”

Under this wave of public opinion, Jiang Qian immediately became a campus celebrity. People would approach her on campus to ask for her autograph, which she always happily signed for everyone.

On her dorm floor, a classmate of Jiang Qian, who was very beautiful but had repeatedly lost to Jiang Qian in the campus beauty pageant and was always the runner-up, had always held a grudge against Jiang Qian.

This classmate came to Jiang Qian’s dorm and spoke sarcastically, first offering to buy Jiang Qian’s bed and belongings, and then asking if Jiang Qian had been intimate with Zhang Cheng while filming.

Jiang Qian ignored her, focusing on typing on her computer on the bed.

The classmate launched her main attack: “Oh right, everyone outside is spreading rumors that you have a sugar daddy. Who has such good taste to hook up with our campus beauty? This drama must be your sugar daddy’s resource, right?”

Jiang Qian coldly looked up and glanced at her: “I don’t have a sugar daddy. I got this role based on my ability, thank you.”

The classmate was about to say more when she saw Jiang Qian press the Enter key. Jiang Qian, sitting in the upper bunk, looked down and said, “I just posted the details on Weibo. You can check it out.”

The classmate immediately took out her phone to check Weibo. As soon as she refreshed, Jiang Qian’s Weibo post appeared right at the top.

She didn’t look closely, only quickly scanning it, and saw the major title framed in quotation marks: The Beginning and End of Shen Xizhou Harassing Me at My Residence

This Weibo post detailed, very specifically, an event where, on an ordinary afternoon, Shen Xizhou deliberately knocked on Jiang Qian’s door and even attempted to break in, only to be fended off by Jiang Qian in self-defense.

In the long post, Jiang Qian solemnly stated that she and Shen Xizhou had only met a few times, and each time, Shen Xizhou had either physically harassed her or verbally harassed her. The rumors about their relationship were false, and she actually disliked him very much.

She also included a short video from the community surveillance footage and the community poster that labeled Shen Xizhou as a dangerous person.

As the classmate read, her face gradually showed fear.

How dare a female celebrity confront her sugar daddy like this? Impossible! There could only be one possibility: this man was definitely not her sugar daddy.

Jiang Qian, still in the upper bunk, smiled and asked her, “How about it? Should I introduce Shen Xizhou to you? You two are quite suitable.”

Jiang Qian didn’t say the implication: a violent, mentally unstable CEO and a manipulative, “green tea” type were a perfect match.

After chasing the classmate away, Jiang Qian picked up her computer to check the Weibo post and saw countless comments already flooding in.

“Wipe! Wipe! I have nothing to say but ‘Wipe!’! Is this a canary accusing her sugar daddy of sexual harassment!”

“Seriously, if I live long enough, I’ll see anything. I’m witnessing this spectacle in my lifetime. Shen Group’s Prince Shen Xizhou ran to a girl’s house and forcefully tried to break down the door? Regardless of their relationship, what he did was so unmanly!”

“Jiang Qian, you are a true hero! I support you! Girls are afraid to speak up in today’s society, especially female celebrities. Your action is truly impressive!”

“But seriously, what’s wrong with this Shen Xizhou? Why is he running around harassing girls? I used to think he was handsome, but seeing that moment when he broke the door down instantly sent a chill down my spine.”

Jiang Qian was very satisfied that the direction of public opinion was generally what she had expected.

But then, another topic was pushed to the top: “Even though it’s blurred, I recognize this community… Doesn’t the eldest daughter of the Shen family also live in this community? My cousin lives here and told me about it.”

“It’s normal for girls who are close to live together. It seems Jiang Qian and Shen Xiruo are good friends. Then she really has no need to be someone else’s ‘canary.’”

“I smell a CP! So, is anyone shipping this pair? Cold and dominant female CEO X Pure and adorable female celebrity. I’m in!”
