Paranoid Girlfriend [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 3

This cold lasted for three days, neither severe nor mild. Taking advantage of her illness, Dai Shiyuan almost figured out the situation of this villa.

Currently, her male lead brother is busy with company affairs all day and has no time to come back.

And the male lead’s parents are traveling abroad and won’t be back for at least a month.

In the huge villa, there are only her and the female lead.

No… there are also the housekeeper and servants, but the one she has the most contact with is the female lead.

During her illness, only the male lead’s father called back to ask about her condition and instructed her on many things to pay attention to on the phone.

Although it was a bit nagging, it made her feel very warm.

She lost her father at an early age and was raised by her mother alone through hard work.

After she graduated from college, her mother passed away due to illness.

She became a real orphan, and her daily life was just a two-point line between the company and home. Occasionally, she would go out with colleagues or friends to have fun.

If it wasn’t for this accident, she would probably still be living an ordinary and peaceful life.

There was no thrilling excitement, only stable and simple happiness.

Dai Shiyuan sat in front of the desk, her left hand supporting her head, her eyes’ focus not knowing where to look, her right hand holding a pen and constantly tapping the same spot on the paper.

The black ink gradually changed from a small dot to a large circle, and even penetrated the paper to the next page.

After a long time, Dai Shiyuan suddenly came back to her senses. When she saw the blackness on the paper, she annoyedly hugged her head.

The application form she had just filled out was smudged by her, and now she had to fill out the school again.

Dai Shiyuan sighed and wrote it again.

Looking at the new application form, her mood improved again, her bright eyes carrying beautiful expectations for the future.

Her first three choices were all outside the province, so that no matter which school accepted her, she could stay away from the female lead.

Just as she was delighted with this decision, there was a knock on the door outside.

Dai Shiyuan’s heart tightened, the smile on her face instantly solidified, and she subconsciously hid the application form.

These days, the female lead often came in and out of her room, saying that she wanted to take care of her.

In fact, she felt that if it weren’t for the female lead’s sudden and unexpected concern from time to time, her illness would have recovered faster.

Every time the female lead came, her little heart would be frightened a little.

Dai Shiyuan stood up, and the door happened to be opened, revealing a beautiful and gentle face.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the female lead’s eyes were cold the moment she opened the door each time, carrying a chill.

Dai Shiyuan felt inexplicably scared, her two hands supporting the desk behind her, several fingers nervously tapping the table in turn.

In order not to be seen by the female lead, she forcibly squeezed out a smile and asked softly, “Sister-in-law, is there anything?”

“Dad just called me to ask about your condition and filling out the application form, and specifically urged me to come over to see.” Shan Yaxin closed the door behind her back and said with a gentle smile.

The ‘click’ sound of the door closing was like a lock falling on a cage. Dai Shiyuan felt a chill in her heart, and the smile on her face almost couldn’t be maintained.

Being alone with this female lead, she always had a dangerous illusion.

The female lead in the early stage was gentle and kind, even a saint-like character. She was tolerant and forgiving in the face of various difficulties, and would not resist.

But after these few days of getting along, she didn’t feel the gentleness and kindness that she should have from the female lead at all.

Shan Yaxin didn’t seem to notice her change, walked closer and sat down, asking, “Xiao Yuan, these two days are the last time to fill out the application form. Have you thought about which school to choose?”

“I…” Dai Shiyuan subconsciously blinked her eyes and quickly thought in her heart whether she should tell the truth.

Her hesitant look was like a student who couldn’t answer the teacher’s question in class, especially obvious with that still youthful face.

Seeing this, Shan Yaxin smiled reassuringly and said softly, “If you don’t know how to choose, sister-in-law will help you with references.”

After saying this, she reached out to get the application form.

“No need!” Dai Shiyuan suddenly moved her body, raised her voice and shouted, nervously grabbing the application form, holding it tightly in her arms like a treasure.

This reaction was too intense, and Dai Shiyuan quickly realized that something was wrong, and tried to squeeze out a smile to ease the situation.

Shan Yaxin lowered her eyes, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes. When she raised her head, her beautiful face was full of astonishment. She was stunned for two seconds and asked, “Does Xiao Yuan think her sister-in-law is being nosy?”

“No…” Dai Shiyuan quickly replied, the smile on her face becoming more sincere.

The two people’s eyes met for a few seconds, and Dai Shiyuan saw a bit of hurt in those gentle eyes.

The female lead’s weak appearance was indeed a bit pitiful, but she couldn’t be soft-hearted.

For some reason, she subconsciously didn’t want the female lead to know about her application.

Dai Shiyuan hugged the application form even tighter, not noticing that something fell out of the book.

On the contrary, Shan Yaxin saw it immediately. She bent down and picked up the paper on the ground. When she saw the first three choices on it, a trace of thought and incomprehension flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and asked in confusion, “Xiao Yuan, why did you choose schools outside the province?”

“Uh…” Dai Shiyuan’s mouth twitched, wanting to go over to grab the application form, but she didn’t dare to be too obvious, so she could only quickly think of a reason, “Because I, I want to go out of the province to see…”

“But our local schools are the best and the most suitable for you.” Shan Yaxin continued to ask, her brows slightly frowned, her eyes clearly disapproving.

She was a teacher, and making such an expression would always have some seriousness in it.

Dai Shiyuan suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment that she couldn’t answer when the teacher asked questions in college. She stood and thought for a long time but still couldn’t think of words to refute. Her mouth kept mumbling the one word ‘because’.

But the words she should say after ‘because’, she couldn’t say a word.

Shan Yaxin had a smile on the corner of her mouth, waiting patiently, her slender fingers pinching the thin paper, shaking it slightly from time to time.

Dai Shiyuan was made even more nervous by this action, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

After being stuck for several minutes, she finally thought of a reason, curled her lips and smiled, quickly replying, “Because I want to live independently.”

She said this very firmly.

“You want to live independently?” Shan Yaxin frowned, biting the words and repeating them, the gentle smile on her face disappearing, and a hint of thought appearing in her eyes.

Dai Shiyuan heard doubt and a trace of contempt from this question, as if the other party was saying that she had no ability to be independent at all.

This character was a rich young lady, maybe not.

But she had already worked for two years, had enough social experience, and it was completely no problem to deal with these.

Although local universities were indeed more suitable for her, she had to stay away from the female lead to save her life.

“Yes.” Dai Shiyuan nodded affirmatively, the smile on her face becoming more and more firm.

Shan Yaxin heard this answer, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her slender fingers folded the application form, leaving a mark.

If she used a little more force, this piece of paper would probably be torn to pieces by her.

Her little sister-in-law had always been pampered and had never suffered half a bit of hardship. It was really surprising that she would think of going to study outside the province.

Shan Yaxin curled her lips slightly, a trace of contempt appearing in her eyes, and softly persuaded, “Studying outside the province will have a lot of inconveniences. More importantly, family members will not be able to take care of you so conveniently. If you are bullied, no one will help you.”

“It’s okay, this is a good experience for me.” Dai Shiyuan’s expression remained unchanged, her eyes still firm.

Since she was a child, because of her single-parent family, she had suffered a lot of bullying.

But she was not a weak person. If she was bullied, she would naturally pay it back.

Moreover, she had already experienced university life, and she understood the tricks in it.

Last time, she was not bullied. Now that she had social experience, how could she be schemed against by those children who haven’t experienced social baptism?

Seeing Dai Shiyuan’s determined look, Shan Yaxin’s doubts in her heart gradually grew, and she continued to persuade with a smile, “University is a collective life. Many times, you have to integrate into the collective and can’t be as willful and unrestrained as at home. What’s more, the dietary habits and all aspects of the outside province are different from ours. You will be very lonely when you are alone.”

“If you are in the local area, you can come back anytime. If you are wronged, you also have your parents to support you.”

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan blinked her eyes, and a trace of anticipation flashed in her heart.

In the past, when she was bullied, she didn’t dare to go home and tell her mother, and she endured it silently by herself.

In order to support her studies, her mother did several jobs and was already very tired. She naturally couldn’t add more trouble to the family.

Although she had always hoped that when she was bullied, someone would stand up to help her and care for her.

Seeing other people with fathers protecting them, it was false to say that she wasn’t envious, but she could only be envious.

But these were not as important as her life. She couldn’t lose her life because of that little bit of love.

“I still want to go out of the province.” Dai Shiyuan looked straight ahead, unusually firm.

Shan Yaxin heard this, a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes, her fingers clenched tightly, and the thin application form was directly torn off a corner by her.

The remaining large half of the paper fell weakly to the ground, facing upwards.

Dai Shiyuan glanced at it from the corner of her eye and immediately straightened her body.

Did this female lead seem to be angry?

She didn’t quite understand this anger.

In the original book, at this time in the plot, the relationship between the younger sister-in-law and the female lead was indeed not bad.

When her mother and brother made things difficult for the female lead, this character had been helping the female lead, but the relationship between the two was not so good as to be considered relatives.

She was leaving, and the female lead should only feel regret and reluctance. How could she be angry?

“Xiao Yuan, you should think about it carefully. Don’t be impulsive. Sister-in-law is doing it all for your own good.” Shan Yaxin bent down and picked up the paper on the ground, put it together with the corner in her hand, and placed it on the table.

Dai Shiyuan looked at the obvious crack and shook her head firmly.

This matter concerned her future and her life, and she couldn’t be persuaded by the female lead in a few words.

She was determined to go to school outside the province and stay away from the female lead to save her life.
