Transmigrated Into a Book: The Villain I Raised Is Plotting Against Me! - Chapter 20

Coincidentally, in the next game, Gu Pei ended up on the same team as Meng Yian.

As Yaria, she rode on Meng Yian’s Han Xin, effortlessly collecting kills one after another. With the blue and red buffs provided to her, victory was a given.

At that moment, Gu Pei decided: this big boss friend was one she would definitely keep!

So, they became very close friends. Since he was a cute younger brother, Gu Pei allowed him to call her sister.

Haha, now they could easily win!

For this match, the teammates selected their heroes one after another.

Gu Pei considered choosing Daji, a hero capable of dealing one-shot kills, but if suppressed in early and cannot get three items, she will just wait for death. 

After much thought, she decided to play it safe and chose Princess Frost.

The enemy team consisted of Kong Ming, Zhang Fei, Hou Yi, and Yao.

Our side had Lady Sun, Princess Frost, Liu Shan, and Cai Yan.

Meng Chang’an was the last to pick and, at the last second, chose Han Xin.

In “Honor of Kings,” Han Xin was known for his mobility and damage, with strong abilities for targeting and escaping.

He could instantly kill fragile enemies, something Gu Pei had experienced firsthand.

The enemy team had also chosen a jungle Li Bai, making the game a bit challenging.

In the first minute, Meng Chang’an and Cai Yan worked perfectly together to harass the enemy’s Li Bai in the red zone, stealing the red buff.

Li Bai could only watch helplessly as the injured Han Xin hopped away proudly.

By the time Meng Chang’an’s Han Xin reached level 4, the enemy’s Hou Yi was still at level 3. With a surprise attack from the bushes, Han Xin secured a kill.

Soon after, Princess Frost was taken down by Kong Ming.

Kong Ming had used his passive to deal consecutive hits, finishing Gu Pei with his ultimate.

“Ugh, can’t be too much of a burden!”

Gu Pei’s grumbling voice, though small, was clearly heard by Meng Chang’an.

“Sister Pei, with me around, we won’t lose this match!”

As Gu Pei controlled her hero, she questioned, “Xiao Meng, why does your voice sound familiar? Like I’ve heard it somewhere before?”

The fish was finally on the hook!

“Probably a mistake, you must be mistaken!”

Meng Chang’an’s tone was flat, showing no emotion.

Gu Pei thought it was a mistake and focused on the game.

“Hou Yi, come to me… kid, eat this! Haha…”

Gu Pei laughed devilishly as she took down Hou Yi in one combo. Her laughter was thunderous, but Meng Chang’an had grown accustomed to it.

He found it endearing, a reminder of his childhood.

Only he remembered her, while this troublesome girl had forgotten him…

Han Xin, under Meng Chang’an’s control, ruthlessly collected kills with ease.

In the end, they secured a victory and went on to win several more games, achieving a brilliant five-game streak. Gu Pei exclaimed, “Awesoke, so great!”

Coincidentally, Meng Chang’an’s Bluetooth headset had run out of battery, making her voice clear from the phone.

It was already midnight, but the rough guys were still playing around.

Their loud banter turned to silence as Gu Pei’s voice filled the room.

“You’re pretty good, Chang’an kid…”

Xu Qiang’s loud voice echoed, exposing his white teeth.

“If I didn’t know you were playing a game, I’d think we were watching a movie…”

“Though this girl’s voice is nice. What luck…”

Meng Chang’an blushed deeply at the teasing comments.

He hurriedly turned off the mic and exited the game.

Meng Yian: Sister Pei, let’s call it a night. I’m going to sleep.

Pei Yigu: Okay, Xiao Meng. Good night, kiss jpg.

Seeing the flying kiss emoji, Meng Chang’an’s smile deepened as he went to sleep.

At dawn, Mu Suru left the hospital.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the campus was littered with fallen green leaves.

Mu Suru stepped on them, making a sound like a clumsy tread.

Wearing a clean white school uniform, she admired the scenery as she walked.

Suddenly, she saw Xia Qian surrounded by admirers.

She sighed in her heart: She is worthy of being the heroine with the luck of a koi fish!

It had been less than a day since she had ruined her image…

Xia Qian was dressed in a white blouse and a super-short skirt, her alluring long legs on full display.

Her long black hair was styled into a high ponytail, giving her a clean, polished look.

Her unadorned face was adorned with a gentle smile.

As a breeze blew, she tucked her hair behind her ear, her refined profile drawing attention.

Xia Qian, with a piercing gaze, looked straight at Mu Suru through the crowd.

Recalling the sarcastic remarks and the frustration from packing her things yesterday, Xia Qian’s smile deepened with surprise.

“Little sister, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Mu Suru thought she must be delusional, still pretending to be a loving sister.

“Well, you can keep waiting!”

Mu Suru checked the time and realized she was almost late!

So, everyone watched as the adorable little girl sprinted to the classroom at an impressive speed.

Xia Qian bit her lip, her eyes showing clear sadness.

“What a shame, it seems like Mu Suru is the vicious step-sister who bullies her older sister, just as the forums said!”

“Don’t say that. Be careful, or you might get sued! Those who spoke ill of her are still detained!”

“I feel so sorry for Xia Qian. What a good girl. Just two days ago, many students said she was a liar. But the hints in the forum clearly suggest she’s being threatened…”

Mu Suru had no idea her reputation had been further damaged.

All she knew was… she was being punished with standing!

Sigh, but it seemed there was another kid punished with standing as well.

I think his name is Meng Chang’an?

Meng Chang’an hung his head, his eye bags swollen and eyes listless.

He looked like someone who had stayed up all night.

But that was none of her concern. Mu Suru boredly counted the ants on the ground, one… two…

Meng Chang’an rubbed his tired eyes and yawned. He actually had insomnia for the first time last night!

When he woke up in the morning, he found he had overslept.

His so-called friends didn’t even wake him up, instead enjoying his misfortune, which really irritated him!

He glanced at the energetic little girl beside him and closed his eyes, beginning to doze off.

Half a lesson later, they were called inside by the teacher.

The teacher began to criticize, “Meng Chang’an, you’re the top student in our class. You need to pay attention to your sleep schedule.

Look at those dark circles under your eyes. Do you want to surpass pandas and become the national treasure of our class?”

The teacher’s words, though slightly joking, made the whole class laugh.

When it was Mu Suru’s turn, the Chinese teacher ignored her entirely.

No criticism, no comments, just dismissed her.

Could Mu Suru tolerate this unfair treatment?

Of course not!

T/N: Kind of challenging to translate this chapter T^T. Thankfully I did play King’s Glory (Chinese version) back then and Honor of Kings (Global version). I decided to use their Global Version name so people can relate easier (well, if you do play HOK).
