Transmigrated Before the Scum A Tortured the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 15

Xu Jinzhao’s professional field was in painting, but she also had great enthusiasm for other art forms.

Her family background couldn’t be considered particularly wealthy, but her parents were both senior intellectuals, each with hobbies outside of work.

Xu’s mother had formed a band at school, playing guitar quite well, and Xu’s father loved photography, his amateur works having won national awards, which he used to boast about for many years.

Growing up in such a family atmosphere, Xu Jinzhao naturally developed a wide range of interests, and only began to specialize in painting when her talent in art overwhelmingly surpassed others.

But she had been playing musical instruments with her mother since childhood, and always maintained a good music appreciation ability.

The casual and easygoing side of Xu Jinzhao’s personality was now fully revealed. She grabbed the wrist of the person next to her and ran towards the direction of the violin music.

The night was dark, and the buildings on both sides of the city street were brightly lit.

The violinist stood in front of a shopping mall window, the bow drawing delicate and melancholic melodies on the strings.

Xu Jinzhao didn’t get too close, but stopped in the distance, closed her eyes, and listened attentively.

But Song Jiao’s attention was not on the music. She could hear that the violinist’s playing skills were superb, but that was all. She couldn’t feel the emotion conveyed in it.

Song Jiao was looking at Xu Jinzhao’s profile.

Her facial features were more distinct than those of ordinary women, not so soft and smooth. When facing her, one could feel the oncoming aggressiveness.

The well-developed facial bones also allowed the Alpha’s face to easily show three-dimensional shadows under the light, adding an unfathomable depth to her.

But from the current angle, Song Jiao found that her profile was actually a bit childish.

Her nose bridge was high and straight, but the tip of her nose was delicate and slightly upturned, which looked very playful. Her upper lip’s cupid’s bow was full and round, naturally carrying a naive charm like asking for a kiss.

At this moment, she closed her eyes intently, showing a drunk and immersed expression, swaying her head gently with the melody, as if she was having a dream that belonged only to her.

Not being able to hear the emotion from the music, Song Jiao tasted it in the changes of the Alpha’s sad expression.

It was longing. Song Jiao thought.

For a moment, she really wanted to ask Xu Jinzhao: What are you longing for?

But the Omega suppressed this impulse. She shouldn’t have too much curiosity about Xu Jinzhao.

An evening breeze blew on the street, and the violinist’s performance also slid to its end.

Xu Jinzhao’s expression was a little lost, and she opened her eyes in the lingering sound.

A strong longing for her parents surged in her heart, which was an emotion that had been suppressed in her heart since she came to this world.

Although her parents didn’t care much about her after she came of age, happily living their own lives, Xu Jinzhao herself was also very independent.

But no matter how far they flew in the past, they were only half a planet away from her, and they could come back to reunite at any time.

But now they were separated by life and death, and they might never see each other again in the future.

The eternal loss was too terrifying, Xu Jinzhao had to deliberately hide these thoughts, not letting herself remember, but the music evoked the sadness of missing her relatives and hometown.

The musician had put away her violin and silently turned to leave.

This was obviously not a person who made a living by performing. The violin was worth a lot of money just from the sound quality. It was probably a sudden feeling that led to an impromptu performance on the street.

Xu Jinzhao turned her head away, unwilling to let her sadness show in front of others.

After finally adjusting her mood, she smiled at Song Jiao reluctantly: “This person plays the violin well. I was happy to see a talent, so I rushed over to listen.”

The Omega didn’t answer immediately, just looked at her silently.

Xu Jinzhao couldn’t see any obvious emotional expression from the beautiful face of her nominal wife, but she also realized the recklessness of her behavior, and became uneasy.

She knew she had an impulsive, willful, and inconsiderate side.

The previous relationships had all developed conflicts and broken up without Xu Jinzhao noticing.

The most absurd and ridiculous thing that made her friends laugh was that Xu Jinzhao had three girlfriends, and she was not young, but she had no experience in bed.

Xu Jinzhao and her first girlfriend were considered to be in harmony. She liked each other very much. She was her childhood sweetheart, growing up together.

But such a person who had been together since childhood couldn’t stand her as a lover after they started dating.

When Xu Jinzhao was still full of joy, her childhood sweetheart suddenly exploded at her, accusing Xu Jinzhao of being a selfish, casual, and unromantic person, suggesting that she raise a cat to live a lifetime.

In the end, they broke up, and it was very ugly.

The second girlfriend was a young art lover who took the initiative to chat with her at Xu Jinzhao’s first art exhibition.

The other person was enthusiastic and cheerful, and didn’t hide her admiration for Xu Jinzhao. She couldn’t be considered beautiful, but Xu Jinzhao appreciated her straightforwardness and liveliness, and they had common interests.

But before moving in together, the second girlfriend also broke up with Xu Jinzhao.

She tactfully suggested: Jinzhao, I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I still can’t stand this kind of life. You should pay more attention to your girlfriend in the future, instead of just focusing on yourself.

Xu Jinzhao was sad and helpless. Both of her girlfriends said she was selfish, either explicitly or implicitly.

After being single for a long time, Xu Jinzhao met her third girlfriend, who was her fellow student, and also the one who hit Xu Jinzhao to the point of complete lack of confidence.

They were very good at first, and Xu Jinzhao asked carefully: Do you think I did something wrong? Don’t hide it from me, I’ll change it.

The fellow student said very affirmatively that she didn’t, and was very happy to be with her. Xu Jinzhao was very happy.

Who would have thought that the fellow student would stab her in the back, ruining Xu Jinzhao’s career and making her infamous.

The fellow student also told Xu Jinzhao that she was not a lesbian at all, and the initial words were just a joke. Who knew that someone would take it seriously disgustingly? Anyway, Xu Jinzhao herself was a selfish person, so why couldn’t she be a little selfish?

Selfish, selfish, everyone evaluated her like this.

Xu Jinzhao looked at Song Jiao, and suddenly began to feel guilty and panicked.

This was the only person she truly treated in this world, unilaterally giving friendship and kindness.

Even though she knew that because she was [Xu Jinzhao], she might never get a non-negative attitude from Song Jiao, and had to play the role of [Xu Jinzhao] from time to time, she didn’t want her own actions to make Song Jiao hate her.

Xu Jinzhao regretted her impulse just now, and tried to figure out how to make up for it.

But Song Jiao said: “She did play very well. Her vibrato changes were very rich, and her bowing was surprisingly steady. She’s a superb performer. I think under normal circumstances, you’d have to book tickets to hear a performance of this level.”

Xu Jinzhao was stunned, looking at Song Jiao in a daze.

This was definitely the longest sentence she had heard the Omega say since she came here. It wasn’t a short sentence of agreement, but a very opinionated expression of herself, with precise comments.

This should also mean that Song Jiao really wasn’t angry because of her arbitrary decision.

Even, she also liked this outdoor impromptu performance a little?

The Alpha’s originally dim eyes gradually brightened.

Song Jiao felt that magic was being cast before her eyes, otherwise how could a person show such vivid and dazzling brightness in the same light and shadow just because of a change in expression?

Acting on impulse, Song Jiao added another sentence: “I don’t know what she’s longing for.”

This didn’t refer to the violinist, because she couldn’t feel the emotion in the music, but it didn’t prevent her from tasting the strong emotion that Xu Jinzhao showed when listening.

In fact, this was also the sentence that Song Jiao wanted to ask but didn’t ask, but it was a statement version.

Xu Jinzhao, what are you longing for?

Xu Jinzhao’s original negative emotions were swept away by Song Jiao’s response, and she was dazed by the sudden surprise.

After all, even in the best scenario she had imagined for the future, there wouldn’t be such an unreal scene of high mountains and flowing water.

Xu Jinzhao was so excited that she was speechless, and could only stare anxiously at Song Jiao, hating her own incompetence.

You, you hurry up and say something. While Song Jiao is in a good mood after listening to the music, say a few more words to her!

Song Jiao actually didn’t avoid her definitely hot and abrupt gaze, but asked softly:

“What do you want to say?”

Looking at the Omega’s pure, innocent, and gentle drooping eyes, the night’s neon lights flowing in them, Xu Jinzhao finally regained her lost language skills.

“Believe me, I won’t do anything stupid in the future.”

After saying this, she hurriedly added:

“Oh, actually, you don’t have to believe me. I don’t force you to believe me. Anyway, I won’t force you to do things you don’t like, and I won’t offend you. Oh, I’ll prove it to you. This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to do anything.”

After explaining a lot of incoherent things, Xu Jinzhao also felt that she had lost her composure and was a little embarrassed.

Her face was hot, she looked away from Song Jiao, and changed the subject to herself.

“You understand music… that’s really nice.”

Author’s Notes:

She doesn’t understand music, she just understands you.

PS: The issue of Jinzhao’s evaluation is a foreshadowing, involving the subsequent plot. I didn’t want to spoil the main plot and author’s notes atmosphere of this chapter. To avoid controversy, I’ll still explain the definition after fleshing out the character image in the later text:

She is definitely not a selfish person.
