Transmigrated Into a Book: The Villain I Raised Is Plotting Against Me! - Chapter 18

After watching a scene, class began.

The students started to joke and play, while Mu Suru sat diligently taking notes, a stark contrast to them.

They began to mock her: “Tsk, Mu Suru used to be an honor student! But since joining the school, she hasn’t been studying and was placed in our F class after the midterm reassignments… Now she’s the second-to-last in the rankings…”

“Only now she’s trying to study hard? How pretentious!”

“Yeah…”

Xu Qiang narrowed his eyes, looking smug. “The last place student is me, haha…”

Meng Chang’an adjusted his glasses and said sharply, “You’re still so proud?”

“Well, of course. I can’t compare with you, the top three in the class!” Xu Qiang rolled his eyes and joked.

Meng Chang’an didn’t bother to pay attention to this guy with an IQ of 250.

“Ding Ding” the phone in the drawer vibrated twice.

Meng Chang’an’s calm expression shattered instantly as he reached for his phone.

Xu Qiang, who had been paying attention, noticed the change in Meng Chang’an’s expression.

He raised an eyebrow, “Chang’an, don’t tell me…”

“It’s just a game friend!”

Meng Chang’an glanced at the message on his phone without looking up.

“Oh? But Chang’an, I haven’t finished my sentence… You’re already rushing to explain; something’s fishy!”

Pei Yigu: Xiao Meng, let’s continue gaming tonight. I got wrecked yesterday, so we have to win back today! <Angry Kick> jpg

Meng Yian: No problem, I’ll carry you!

Pei Yigu: Steady on the golden thigh <Show off> jpg

Seeing the meme of “holding onto the golden thigh,” Meng Chang’an couldn’t help but smile, his face brightening with warmth.

Xu Qiang clicked his tongue and decided to ignore the idiot.

In the blink of an eye, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

Mu Suru slowly packed her bag.

[Blackening Value +2, Current Villain Blackening Value: 25]

Upon hearing the system prompt, Mu Suru frowned. The little villain’s blackening value increased whenever he couldn’t see her…

It was as clingy as a baby still nursing!

“Mu Suru, someone is calling…”

An unfamiliar classmate called her name.

Curious about who was looking for her, Mu Suru left the classroom and saw a familiar figure with their back turned to her.

“Gu Pei? What’s up?”

Mu Suru was surprised. She hadn’t expected the aloof Gu Pei to come looking for her.

Gu Pei touched her high bridge of a nose, avoiding Mu Suru’s gaze, her red lips slightly parted. “You did well today…”

This ambiguous comment left Mu Suru momentarily stunned.

Wait…

Was Gu Pei referring to what happened at the school gate this morning?

Her eyes brightened, and she nodded quickly. “Thank you for the compliment.”

Gu Pei glanced at the classmates still sneaking peeks and, with a chilling aura, made them awkwardly smile before leaving in a hurry.

Clearing her throat, she lowered her voice. “Classmate Mu, would you like to be my little sister?”

To Gu Pei, being her little sister meant they were friends!

Mu Suru raised her eyebrows and cheerfully declined. “No, thanks, Sister Gu!”

Gu Pei looked momentarily stunned, not understanding why Mu Suru refused outright instead of considering it.

Mu Suru studied her expression and slowly said, “Sister Gu, can we be friends instead?”

Gu Pei’s face showed surprise. No one had ever spoken to her like this before.

Everyone else was eager to become her little sister and accept her protection.

But… they never saw her as a true friend because they feared the harsh Gu Pei and didn’t dare be her equal.

Only this fragile girl, whom she had secretly liked for half a year, had proposed…

“Alright!”

Gu Pei couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional, quickly lowering her hat brim.

Only her alluring red lips were visible. “Let’s exchange WeChat.”

Mu Suru took out her phone, and after adding each other as friends, Gu Pei seemed flustered. “I have to go now…”

And with that, the tall white figure hurriedly disappeared around the corner.

Mu Suru suddenly recalled the glimpse of Gu Pei’s red ears she had seen earlier.

So cute, wasn’t it!

In the original storyline, Gu Pei was portrayed as an extremely gentle beauty.

But after her mother passed away, her father brought a woman and a girl into their home. The girl was only a few months younger than Gu Pei, indicating her father had been cheating for a long time.

This significant change caused Gu Pei to rebel, dyeing and perming her hair, and dressing ambiguously.

The setting sun painted the sky red, and a black crow perched on a branch, its dark red eyes seemingly full of intelligence, fixated on the shadowy figure below, emitting an unpleasant “cawing” sound.

Mu Suru, carrying her backpack, reached the school gate.

A low-key black car pulled up in front of her.

The window rolled down slowly, revealing Mu Chen’s angular profile.

“Get in.”

Mu Suru obediently opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Her older brother didn’t even call her by her nickname, indicating he was upset that she hadn’t told him about being bullied at school.

Even though the car had no air conditioning, Mu Suru felt a chill coming from her left side.

She shivered and decided to take the initiative.

“Big Brother, I was bullied at school…”

Her soft, tearful voice tugged at Mu Chen’s heartstrings.

“Ru Tuan, you…”

“Big Brother, I wanted to tell you, but Xia Qian kept saying you were too busy and told me not to disturb you…”

The frail girl twisted her fingers, her delicate face full of timidity.

Mu Chen’s anger, previously suppressed by the deception, subsided significantly.

His brows furrowed deeply: “Ru Tuan, what else did Xia Qian say to you?”

Xia Qian really wasn’t a straightforward person!

“She also said that since I initially hid my identity when entering the school, I should handle being bullied on my own, because older brothers like independent and strong sisters…”

Mu Suru repeated Xia Qian’s words verbatim, not blinking an eye.

With a loud “bang,” Mu Chen, usually so composed, slammed his fist on the seat.

He took a moment to calm down and then said to Mu Suru with great seriousness: “Ru Tuan, no matter what Xia Qian says to you in the future, don’t believe her, understood?”

Mu Suru fought to keep her smile from spreading. “Got it, Big Brother!”

Finally… she could thoroughly tear apart the white lotus!

Mu Chen, his mind preoccupied, drove quickly. In no time, they arrived outside a luxurious neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Xia Qian had already been driven home by the chauffeur. She was in her pajamas, sitting on the sofa, pretentiously working on some test papers.

To restore her obedient little sister image in front of Mu Chen, she had to put in the effort.

The sound of footsteps at the entrance made Xia Qian’s hand, which had been tired from holding the pen, suddenly feel better.

Mu Suru bent down to change into her slippers and saw Xia Qian’s serious expression.

Tsk, feeling guilty, huh?
