Things indeed turned out just as Jiang Muyan had said, it was a case of severe bullying. The security office detained those three individuals, waiting for their parents to arrive.
The security guard reassured Cheng Jianli, telling them to go back first and assuring them that there would be consequences.
After leaving the security office, Tang Yu felt refreshed. He turned to Jiang Muyan and said, “Jiang Muyan, you were amazing back there in the equipment room. I really admire you.”
Jiang Muyan coughed a few times, glancing at Cheng Jianli beside her, practically wearing the words “Praise me, wife!” on her forehead.
Cheng Jianli’s soft hair rested on her shoulders, and after a moment, she lowered her eyes slightly. “Thank you.”
“No need to be polite, it’s what we should do. Class 1 and Class 2 should support each other,” Jiang Muyan replied, feeling pink bubbles bursting in her heart the moment her wife spoke.
It had always been like this Cheng Jianli was reserved and quiet, never using more words than necessary. Jiang Muyan was always driven wild by her cool, composed beauty, and her solution was to carry her to bed and coax more words out of her.
Back then, Cheng Jianli’s lashes would be damp, her lips much redder than usual, her speech fragmented, Jiang Muyan had always found it intoxicating.
“Do you know me?” Cheng Jianli interrupted Jiang Muyan’s reminiscing.
“O-Of course I know you! You’re the class rep of Class 2…” Jiang Muyan blurted out a random excuse. “I’ve seen you in the teachers’ office before.”
Cheng Jianli’s gaze remained calm. “I see.”
“I’m Jiang Muyan, and this is my classmate, Tang Yu,” Jiang Muyan introduced.
Cheng Jianli gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
“Where do you live? Let me walk you home,” Jiang Muyan offered eagerly.
“I can go by myself,” Cheng Jianli said. “Goodbye.”
Jiang Muyan hadn’t expected her wife to leave so quickly. The moment the space beside her emptied, Cheng Jianli turned and walked away. She hurriedly called out, “Wai—”
Before she could finish the word, Jiang Muyan suddenly felt her heartbeat accelerate, her chest unbearably tight. She gasped for air, but the more she breathed, the faster her panting became. Soon, her vision darkened, and she couldn’t even catch her breath.
Tang Yu, noticing her pale complexion and strange state, quickly reached out to steady her. “Jiang Muyan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I—I can’t breathe…” Jiang Muyan collapsed heavily to the ground, her throat feeling as if it were clogged with coarse sand, making it impossible to inhale.
She had never experienced anything like this before what was happening?!
Her chest heaved violently, her limbs icy and numb. Breathing was agony, sheer agony it was like being a fish stranded on a shallow shore, thrashing helplessly but unable to draw air…
In her daze, a pale hand suddenly grasped her shoulder, and Jiang Muyan’s heartbeat abruptly slowed.
“Are you okay?” Cheng Jianli, hearing the commotion behind her, had turned back. She crouched beside Jiang Muyan, the fair skin of her neck faintly visible beneath her collar, dazzling Jiang Muyan’s blurred vision.
Jiang Muyan’s awareness gradually returned. She took a deep breath, inexplicably finding the tightness in her chest gone. She looked at Cheng Jianli and asked hoarsely, “Why did you come back?”
Cheng Jianli frowned slightly. “You didn’t seem right.”
“Young Miss, you scared me just now, I thought you were going to faint,” Tang Yu was also startled. “Are you really, okay?”
“I think I’m fine…” Jiang Muyan stared blankly at Cheng Jianli. The moment her wife reached out to steady her, that suffocating feeling had suddenly vanished.
“Can you help me up?” Jiang Muyan asked Cheng Jianli.
A flicker of confusion passed through Cheng Jianli’s eyes, but she said nothing. Swiftly, she pulled Jiang Muyan to her feet.
Standing up, Jiang Muyan suddenly felt as though “the sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and she was back on top of the world.”
What on earth was happening?
The system frantically came online: [Host, are you alright?]
Jiang Muyan snapped back to reality and quickly replied mentally, “What do you think? I felt like I was about to die just now.”
The system: [The Time-Space Administration urgently investigated the cause and found that your condition was highly unstable when you crossed over, resulting in your body carrying a certain illness.]
The system: [The illness you’ve brought into this world is ‘hyperventilation syndrome.’ When you become emotionally agitated, you may experience rapid breathing, an accelerated heartbeat, or even shock from over-breathing. Modern medicine can’t treat this only the female lead’s embrace can calm you down.]
Jiang Muyan: “?”
What? Hyperventilation syndrome?
She had only read about it in books and never witnessed it firsthand. She asked the system, “So what just happened to me was…”
The system: [An episode.]
Jiang Muyan: “…”
The system: [But don’t worry, Host. As long as you receive the female lead’s embrace, the symptoms will ease significantly.]
Only her wife’s hug could alleviate the condition…
Jiang Muyan blinked dazedly. No wonder the moment Cheng Jianli steadied her shoulders, her breathing had stabilized.
So, it was all thanks to her wife.
Amid her joy at being embraced, a trace of worry lingered. Wait, was this condition really, okay? That suffocating feeling earlier had been terrifying.
It felt like she could go into shock at any moment.
As Jiang Muyan pondered this, a lake-blue Bentley suddenly pulled up at the school gate. A sharply dressed chauffeur stepped out, looking flustered as he spoke into his earpiece: “Yes, I’ve arrived at Hongchuan Seventh High. Don’t worry, Chairman, I’ll find the Young Miss right away…”
“Wow! That’s such a cool car, the color and model must be custom, right?” Tang Yu, who came from a modest middle-class family, immediately noticed the expensive Bentley. “Jiang Muyan, is this your family’s car? Did you guys get a new one again?”
Jiang Muyan looked up in confusion just as the chauffeur hurried through the school gates. Spotting her, he exclaimed in relief, “Young Miss, what are you doing here? The Chairman has been looking everywhere for you.”
Realizing this was someone from the Jiang Corporation, Jiang Muyan remained composed after all, she had been a corporate heiress in her original world too. “We just got out of school and were chatting here.”
“It’s so late, and you still haven’t returned home. The Chairman is very worried,” the chauffeur took Jiang Muyan’s backpack and glanced at the other two. “Are these your classmates, Young Miss?”
Tang Yu nodded.
“Would you like to ride together?” the chauffeur offered. “We might be heading the same way.”
Jiang Muyan’s eyes lit up. She turned to Cheng Jianli. “Let me give you a ride home?”
Cheng Jianli: “No need. My place is very close to the school.”
“Are you sure you don’t need it?”
“No.”
Jiang Muyan let out a disappointed “Oh” and kicked a pebble at her feet. “Then… be careful on your way…” she added anxiously, “I’m from Class 1, my name is Jiang Muyan.”
Cheng Jianli: “Mm.”
Jiang Muyan gazed at her reluctantly. “Go ahead.”
This time, Cheng Jianli really left. The beige school uniform brushed lightly against Jiang Muyan’s fingers, leaving only a retreating figure behind.
Tang Yu sidled over. “Young Miss, can I hitch a ride in your car?”
Jiang Muyan waited until her “wife’s” figure had completely disappeared before snapping her fingers at Tang Yu. “Get in.”
The driver, surnamed Liu, was called Uncle Liu by Jiang Muyan. Tang Yu spent the ride chatting with him, while Jiang Muyan communicated telepathically with the system.
Jiang Muyan: “System, is this illness going to stick with me forever?”
System: [Apologies, but based on current conditions, the system cannot determine when your symptoms will disappear.]
Jiang Muyan: “…”
Did that mean without Cheng Jianli by her side, she’d frequently suffer from shortness of breath and feel half-dead?
This was bad. It seemed she’d been saddled with an unfortunate condition, and right now, Cheng Jianli barely knew her how could she possibly hug her?
Jiang Muyan sighed and continued questioning the system. “By the way, earlier you said I have to complete some kind of ‘HE’ to take Cheng Jianli back. What does that mean?”
System: [Well, the book you’ve transmigrated into has a BE ending, so you must change it to an HE ending to return.]
Jiang Muyan had already discussed the plot with the system in class. She learned that Cheng Jianli, like the female leads in all those old-school romance novels, came from a poor rural family but was an exceptional student who earned a tuition-free spot at Hongchuan No. 7 High School in the city.
If nothing went wrong, Cheng Jianli would eventually study abroad at a prestigious university.
But Cheng Jianli’s mother had died in a car accident when she was two, and her father, who favored sons over daughters, never wanted her to continue her education. His plan was for her to finish compulsory schooling and then work in a factory. Instead, Cheng Jianli left the countryside and ran off to the city alone for high school, infuriating him.
Another key figure in the book was Cheng Jianli’s cousin, Zhang Siyuan.
This Zhang Siyuan was the male lead, but he and Cheng Jianli weren’t bl00d-related and weren’t even on the same household register.
The reasons were complicated, and the system didn’t elaborate. Jiang Muyan frowned. “You… don’t expect me to set my wife up with the male lead, do you?”
The system let out a whimper: [Male leads in old-school romances are all scum. The system only assigned this task so you could help change the ending…]
The moment Jiang Muyan heard her “wife” was supposed to get an HE with someone else, she immediately bristled. “If he’s scum, does he even deserve her? Keys are ten yuan for three, he’s not even worth one.”
System: [But if the host doesn’t change the world to, HE, the story will collapse due to its BE trajectory…]
Jiang Muyan replied without batting an eye. “Since it’s HE either way, of course my wife should get it with me. What does some scum have to do with it?”
System: [???]
System: […That actually makes sense?]
After a brief silence, the system logged off. Just then, Tang Yu’s voice reached her ears. “We’re having a monthly exam a month after school starts. So annoying.”
Uncle Liu asked curiously, “Young Miss, are you having an exam soon?”
Jiang Muyan, of course, had no idea. She only heard Tang Yu continue, “Hongchuan Seventh High’s monthly exams are usually held one month after classes officially begin. It used to be two months in the past…”
“Jiang Muyan, how’s your revision going?” Tang Yu asked.
Jiang Muyan answered vaguely, “It’s alright.”
Though she said it was alright, in truth, her academic performance was abysmal. For Jiang Muyan, studying was harder than facing death itself, which was why her father, with remarkable foresight, had sent her abroad early before she transmigrated into this novel.
What Jiang Muyan really wanted to ask was something else: “By the way, can we still transfer classes now?”
“Transfer classes?” Tang Yu was stunned. “Where do you want to go? Don’t you want to stay in Class 1 anymore?”
Jiang Muyan scratched her cheek. Since she needed to complete the happy ending mission with her “wife” and also alleviate her condition, transferring to Class 2 would obviously be the most convenient.
“Class reassignments are possible after the monthly exams, but unless there’s a special request, teachers usually don’t shuffle the original class members…”
Hearing there was a chance, Jiang Muyan immediately declared, “I want to transfer to Class 2!”
