The Green Tea Supporting Girl Is Still Playing Her Role Today (GL) - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

“Sister! Time~ to~ get up~~~ Sister! Time~ to~ get up~~~”

What the hell!

Xie Zhifei seemed to hear herself coquettishly calling out in her dream. Suddenly, she realized it was not a dream. She abruptly opened her eyes, and sure enough, she heard her own voice in the room.

She sat up in shock and looked toward the source of the sound. It came from the phone on the nightstand on the other side of the bed.

Immediately after, a fair hand stretched out from under the covers, fumbled to turn off the alarm, flipped over, and continued sleeping…

Suddenly, the half-asleep, half-awake person also opened her eyes and looked at her in surprise.

The two stared at each other for a moment and then moved at the same time.

Xie Zhifei tried to grab the phone, but she blocked her and snatched it into her hand first.

“Let me see what ringtone you set.” Xie Zhifei still resisted stubbornly and desperately tried to grab her phone.

“It’s nothing.” Wen Pinghan gripped the phone with one hand and pushed her away with the other, but she still could not match the full force of the other person. In less than a minute, she was panting and pinned down by her.

“Let me see!” Xie Zhifei pressed down on that hand of hers and tried to snatch the phone from her palm. She laughed triumphantly, but just as she was about to pull harder, the other person suddenly let go, as if she did not want to fight her for it anymore.

She looked down in confusion and then realized their position was somewhat strange.

Wen Pinghan had been pinned under her at some point, breathing slightly, her face flushed, her hair scattered messily on the pillow. She lifted her eyes and gazed right at her.

Her other hand braced at her waist, and one leg knelt between her legs. More fatally, this position had caused her to expose herself. She looked down and saw that the neckline of her pajamas was open, facing straight toward Wen Pinghan. No wonder the other person had suddenly stared at her face.

“Ahem… um… that…”

Xie Zhifei rolled back over, stammered for a long time, and finally turned away in shame, covering her face with the quilt. She felt so embarrassed she wanted to die.

Fortunately, the other person had no intention of teasing her and just breathed quietly.

After a while, no one mentioned it. Xie Zhifei then turned over with feigned composure and asked, “Sister, this alarm of yours uses my voice, right?”

Wen Pinghan blinked slowly, looked at the ceiling, and said, “Yes.”

“I do not remember saying this phrase.”

“It’s edited.”

“Oh~~~” Xie Zhifei grinned mischievously. “If you wanted it, you could have just told me directly. Why bother secretly editing it?”

“I felt like it.”

Xie Zhifei laughed twice, took out her own phone, and held it in front of her. “Then you record a ringtone for me too. The effect is so good; it wakes me up right away.”

Wen Pinghan spoke into the phone. “Xie Zhifei, get up.”

“Too serious. Can you make it gentler?”

“No.” Wen Pinghan threw off the covers and headed to the bathroom.

“Hey? Sister, why are you running so fast? Are you angry?” Xie Zhifei ran to the bathroom door and asked. “Oh, do not be angry. If you do not want to record, then do not. I can secretly record it myself and edit it!”

“I am not angry.” Wen Pinghan looked at her face in the mirror; it was almost completely red. She turned on the faucet and scrubbed her face hard a few times, but it only grew redder. She had no choice but to stay inside and wait for it to cool down.

“Sister, you have been in there a long time. Are you constipated?” Xie Zhifei suddenly asked.

“Of course not!” Wen Pinghan opened the door and snapped back in annoyance and embarrassment.

“If you are not, then you are not. Why get so red in the face then?” Xie Zhifei laughed and cupped her face with both hands. “Do not be unhappy. If you are not happy, I will not be happy either.”

“Go wash up.”

“Together.”

The two brushed their teeth and washed their faces together. Then Xie Zhifei found the clothes she wanted to change into. Just as she lifted the hem of her pajamas, she remembered there was still someone in the room.

Although she had lived in dorms before and often changed clothes without reservation there, for some reason, a strong sense of shame suddenly surged up now. She felt inexplicably shy and said, “Sister… you go out and wait for me.”

“I am not looking at you. What are you afraid of?” Wen Pinghan turned her back and said.

“Okay, then do not look.”

“Yes.”

Xie Zhifei changed her top. Just as she pulled up her pants, Wen Pinghan suddenly turned around. “Ha, I tricked you.”

Xie Zhifei jumped in surprise, grabbed her pants with both hands, hopped a few times in a one-legged stance to steady herself, pulled up her pants, and then turned to settle the score with Wen Pinghan. But the other person had already fled!

“Too much, Sister. When did you get so playful?!” During breakfast, Xie Zhifei complained.

Wen Pinghan’s lips curved up. “It was fun.”

Xie Zhifei huffed twice. After finishing breakfast and preparing to leave, she suddenly pinched Wen Pinghan’s waist from behind, startling her.

“Fun, right?” Xie Zhifei whispered in her ear.

Wen Pinghan’s face flushed red instantly. “Stop fooling around. Auntie is watching.”

“What is there to fear? Let her watch. We are not doing anything bad.” Xie Zhifei directly wrapped her arm around her waist and smiled brightly.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened. Fang Ningshu stood at the doorway. Their eyes met. Her gaze slid down and landed on Xie Zhifei’s hand, then she slowly closed the door and knocked again.

Xie Zhifei: “.”

Wen Pinghan: “……”

Xie Zhifei opened the door and started to explain, but Fang Ningshu held up her hand. “No need to explain. I am not interested, nor curious.”

“…Fine.” Xie Zhifei shut her mouth again, pulled Wen Pinghan along, and got into the car. “Let us go to the airport.”

Fang Ningshu sat in the passenger seat, checked the flight information to confirm no delays, glanced at the route to the airport again, and urged the driver to go faster because it might get congested soon.

Xie Zhifei was looking down at her phone and sensed someone quietly approaching from the side. She turned her head to look at the other person.

“Does she have a key to your house?” Wen Pinghan leaned in close to her ear and whispered.

“Yes, she often comes to pick me up and drop me off, so it is convenient.”

“Oh…”

Wen Pinghan sat back. A moment later, her phone vibrated. She looked down and saw a message from Xie Zhifei.

She glanced at the other person in confusion, then opened the message. It was a string of numbers, so she replied with [?].

Xie Zhifei: [The password to my house. You are welcome anytime [sunglasses]]

Wen Pinghan’s lips curved up: [Received.]

After arriving at the airport, the three walked to the arrivals gate to wait. Fang Ningshu checked the time several times and seemed quite impatient.

“What, you are about to see the little princess, and you cannot wait?” Xie Zhifei teased.

Fang Ningshu rolled her eyes. “Not at all possible. I just hope this little ancestor does not have any more trouble and cling to me… Oh, she has no reason to cling to me now anyway. I do not have to discipline her for Gu Zhizhang at all.”

“They know each other?” Wen Pinghan asked.

“Gu Zhizhang’s cousin. What do you think?” Xie Zhifei laughed.

“Oh, I see.” Wen Pinghan nodded.

“President Xie, I am just here as the driver.” Fang Ningshu said.

“You did not even do the driver’s job.”

“……” Was it not you who told the driver to drive?!

“Stop arguing.” Wen Pinghan laughed. “Someone is coming out.”

A large group of people came out one after another. Then they saw a pretty girl dressed very ladylike, but with a baby face that gave her a beauty that felt out of place. Wen Pinghan instinctively thought it was her because the girl was looking around at the crowd waiting.

Sure enough, the other person spotted them—or more precisely, spotted Fang Ningshu first—and came running over in high heels, clacking along. “Shu-jie! Long time no see!”

Fang Ningshu stepped back two steps but still got hugged by her. She looked at Xie Zhifei watching the spectacle beside them and rolled her eyes helplessly.

“Is my brother really that busy?” Wang Wan let go, habitually handed her suitcase over, turned around, and saw Xie Zhifei. Her face immediately fell. “Why is she here too?”

“Miss Wang, she is my current boss.” Fang Ningshu said.

“What did you call me?” Wang Wan pointed at Xie Zhifei in surprise. “What is she to you?!”

Fang Ningshu and Xie Zhifei exchanged a glance and confirmed one thing: Gu Zhizhang had not told her about Fang Ningshu changing bosses.

“Let us go. I will explain on the way.” Fang Ningshu pushed the suitcase and turned to walk out.

Wang Wan immediately followed, asking nonstop in her mouth. “What exactly happened? Shu-jie, why are you working for Xie Zhifei? Did my brother treat you badly, so you jumped ship? Or did Xie Zhifei grab some leverage to threaten you?”

Wen Pinghan and Xie Zhifei trailed behind them. She could not help asking, “You two do not get along? She does not seem friendly to you at all.”

“Yes, she looks down on me.” Xie Zhifei said cheerfully.

“You are not angry?”

“Why would I be angry? Plenty of people look down on me. If I got mad at every one, I would not live to see tomorrow from sheer fury.”

Wen Pinghan laughed. “Well, you sure know how to keep a good perspective.”

“No choice. Life is just a few decades. No need to hold grudges against irrelevant people.” Xie Zhifei said nonchalantly.

“It must be that green tea b1tch Xie Zhifei behind this!” Wang Wan suddenly turned back and cursed.

“You little girl, shut your mouth! You blabber like a toad. Say two less words, and no one will mistake you for a frog.” Xie Zhifei shot back.

Wen Pinghan: “……” What happened to not holding grudges against irrelevant people?

Wang Wan was also stunned by her retort.

For so many years, Xie Zhifei had always maintained an outwardly obedient image. Every time she cursed her, the other person at most cried and played the white lotus, never firing back at her with such full-throated vigor.

She stood dazed for more than ten seconds before instinctively grabbing Fang Ningshu’s sleeve and asking softly, “What is wrong with her? Is her period messing her up?”

Fang Ningshu pressed her lips together, her shoulders trembled twice, and then she resumed her cold expression. “Do not casually curse her anymore. You cannot afford to provoke her.”

“But… do you not hate her too?”

“That was before. Now she is my boss.”

“So why exactly did you leave Gu’s?”

“Go ask your brother.”

“He would have told me already if he could.”

“So that is exactly why it is something that cannot be said. Understand?”

Wang Wan asked again, “Can I still go play at your house then?”

“I am afraid not.”

“Will you still go shopping with me?”

“No time.”

Wang Wan fell silent, lowered her head aggrievedly, and muttered, “Why have you all changed?”

Fang Ningshu did not respond.

After getting in the car, Fang Ningshu still sat in the passenger seat. Wang Wan got into the back row, glanced at Xie Zhifei, snorted coldly, and then looked at the woman beside her. “Who is this?”

“Hello, my name is Wen Pinghan. I am an employee at Qisheng.” Wen Pinghan introduced herself.

“You are Wen Pinghan?!” Wang Wan finally looked her over in surprise. She had to admit, her appearance was exceptionally refined, and her temperament was quite unique. No wonder she had her cousin so smitten that he said he would marry no one else in this lifetime.

“You know me?” Wen Pinghan asked, puzzled.

“Oh, no, I do not.” Wang Wan denied it immediately, remembering the mission for this trip back.

Main quest: Eat, drink, and have fun.

Side quest: Probe Wen Pinghan’s background for her aunt.

“How old are you?” Wang Wan asked.

“Twenty-eight.”

“Tsk, so old.”

“What did you say?!” Xie Zhifei suddenly interjected.

“What? I did not say you. Are you not just twenty-six?”

“I am not twenty-eight, but Fang-jie is over thirty, you know. Are you not calling our Fang-jie old?” Xie Zhifei diverted the trouble.

Fang Ningshu: “……” Can you not drag me into this?

Wang Wan: “!!!”

“Shu-jie, I-I did not mean that. I did not mean you are old.” After Wang Wan said that, she whipped her head around and glared furiously at Xie Zhifei. “Why are you calling her Fang-jie? You definitely have bad intentions!”

“What is wrong with me? I am just calling her sister. What is so wrong with that?~”

“You are not allowed to call her that!”

“I will call her! Sister, sister~”

Wang Wan itched with anger from her teeth. Xie Zhifei was delighted and turned her head smugly to show off to Wen Pinghan, but she found her expressionless and in a bad mood.

“Sister, what is wrong?”

“Do not call her sister!” Wang Wan shouted.

“I am not calling Fang Ningshu!” Xie Zhifei yelled back, then continued to speak softly and gently to Wen Pinghan. “Sister, are you carsick? Or not feeling well?”

Wen Pinghan glanced sideways at her and said darkly, “You sure have a lot of sisters.”

“No, they are older, so I call them sister out of respect.”

Fang Ningshu: “……” Damn it, thank you.

Wen Pinghan: “I am older than you too.”

“But you are beautiful! Sis, you are my only sis!” Xie Zhifei tilted her head, leaned on her shoulder, and nuzzled against her. “I did not mean it. You will forgive me, right?”

Wang Wan on the side was utterly baffled: Forgive what? What are they talking about? Have I forgotten how to understand Chinese?
