Transmigrated into the Villainess Alpha Who Marked the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 10
Two hours later, Ji Ci groggily woke up to find herself lying on a bed, with four or five similar small beds around her.
The hazy scene before she fainted vaguely surfaced in her mind.
As she ran, her head grew heavier and heavier. She didn’t know how it happened, but even with so many people on the track, she smelled a particularly delicate fragrance in the crowd. She dragged her heavy body to find the source, as if finding the person emitting this unusual scent would make her discomfort disappear.
Later, whether she found the person, she wasn’t sure,
Because she had no energy left, she had another intimate encounter with a certain girl. She leaned into the girl’s arms. Fortunately, before she passed out, she was sure she hadn’t done anything out of line, otherwise she would have considered this another beautiful spring dream, like that day she transmigrated and acted towards Bai Yueli…
Wait! She remembered seeing Bai Yueli before she passed out.
…No way…
Ji Ci didn’t know whether to be relieved that the female lead was okay or to lament her cursed fate with Bai Yueli.
Could there be too many coincidences?! The first time they met, she mistook it for a dream and put her hands on her. The third time, she bit her. And then, a few days later, she collapsed on her again. Each time, she could explain that it wasn’t unintentional, but would the other person believe her? They might even think it was a series of open schemes she had orchestrated.
Alas, two noodle-wide tears flowed down Ji Ci’s heart.
At this moment, Bai Yueli would never have imagined that in someone’s mind, she was already the image of someone who cruelly excised glands and let rats gnaw on them daily. Her eyelashes slightly lowered, she meticulously returned the equipment to its place, requesting the teacher’s inspection.
As expected, this time too she received full marks.
Passing by Jiang Yi, she whispered softly: “I’m going out to do something. Don’t wait for me later.”
Jiang Yi nodded.
Fan Kexin entered the classroom carrying books, when she was suddenly stopped by a soft voice: “Kexin.”
She trembled violently, turning around. She was stared at by a pair of exquisite, narrow, peach-blossom eyes. The girl’s lips held their usual gentle smile. Suddenly, Fan Kexin’s gaze focused on the milk tea in her hand, her pupils rapidly dilating. The dark circles under her eyes also swayed conspicuously.
“Yueli?”
Bai Yueli, under Fan Kexin’s complex expression, slightly parted her red lips, took a sip of fruit tea through the snow-white straw, and chatted with a smile: “hometea, is this where you bought it last time too?”
Fan Kexin looked surprised at the half-drunk fruit tea, her reaction a beat slow: “…Ah, yes, why?” she asked tentatively.
“I thought I bought the wrong one,” Bai Yueli smiled, leisurely shaking the milk tea cup: “I just feel like something’s missing from the taste.”
When she said this, it was like a casual conversation, her voice soft and unhurried. Coupled with her clear pupils, it was easy to draw the conversational partner into the gentle vortex she created.
But Fan Kexin felt no ease or pleasure from this conversation.
On the contrary, Bai Yueli’s words struck her heart with every syllable. Her heart pounded erratically, as if it would leap into her throat at any moment. Fan Kexin tried to maintain her composure, forcing out a smile as bitter as a gourd: “Really? You must have confused it with another brand. This is their new product, or maybe the guy made the flavor too light today?”
Bai Yueli smiled, “Maybe.”
She walked past Fan Kexin and straight out of the classroom, casually tossing the half-finished fruit tea into the trash can by the water cooler.
Fan Kexin’s expression just now had already given the answer. As for whether to pursue it further, Bai Yueli hadn’t thought much about it for now. If Fan Kexin was smart, it wouldn’t be hard to understand the meaning in her words. Today would serve as a warning.
At the end of the month, there was a Friendship Challenge Match to see off the graduating students. This event was entirely handed over to the External Relations Club.
The third-year students, due to academic pressure, generally no longer participated in club event planning. Bai Yueli, as the former club president, only came to see her former junior members in her spare time.
The new president was Gao Xiang from the second year. The president had been swamped these past few days, but the second-in-command was nowhere to be seen.
Bai Yueli watched Gao Xiang, who greeted her and then rushed off again, busy with planning and negotiating funds. Previously, event promotion and funds were handled by Ji Feng. She asked with a smile, “Where’s Junior Ji Feng?”
“That kid disappeared, can’t find him in their class either,” Gao Xiang said, gnashing his teeth in complaint as he reached the doorway.
“Oh, I might know about this,” Jiang Yi raised her hand to speak. “Ji Feng has a fever. He’s in the infirmary getting an IV drip right now. He said it seems pretty serious.”
Jiang Yi secretly observed Bai Yueli, trying to catch any valuable emotions in her eyes.
Bai Yueli flipped through the event proposal. Her long eyelashes didn’t flutter at all. She said indifferently, “It’s fine if he’s seen a doctor. This weather does make it easy to catch a cold and fever.”
Jiang Yi: “…” That’s it?
“Uh… how do I put it,” Jiang Yi cleared her throat, trying hard to hint: “It’s not entirely due to the weather. During the last club recruitment, Junior Ji didn’t stop at all. They already have an assessment this semester, and for the club, he was getting back home around nine or ten at night those days. He was still working even after getting home, and had to balance his studies too. No matter how strong his body is, he couldn’t handle it.”
Bai Yueli put down the proposal and looked thoughtful.
Jiang Yi struck while the iron was hot: “His illness is somewhat related to the club. I think as a former president, you should go see him. These first-year students just need care and encouragement, you know.”
“You’re right,” Bai Yueli nodded. Although she knew Jiang Yi was speaking up for Ji Feng to some extent, she was just stating facts. It was only right, both emotionally and logically, to go and see him.
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought: “Ji Feng, Senior can only help you this much. Big White Rabbit likes or dislikes whoever she wants; I can’t tie her down with a rope. I’ve created the opportunity for you, now it’s up to you to seize it.”
The boy lay on his side, one hand propped under his head, the other holding a phone borrowed from the school doctor’s aunt. The light from the screen illuminated his delicate features.
“How to win a girl’s heart if you’ve never dated”
“Things a pure Alpha doesn’t know about Omegas”
“These details can tell you if your crush also has a crush on you”
The number of these strange search records on his phone’s browser was growing. The boy was engrossed, completely unaware that someone was slowly approaching.
“Junior?” Bai Yueli tentatively asked, looking at the familiar back in front of her.
Ji Feng was startled. The “big guy” in his hand instantly became a hot potato. He shivered and shoved it under the covers. When he turned around, he was like a wilting leaf, weakly saying: “Se-senior, you, you’ve come.”
Bai Yueli’s delicate brows furrowed.
He didn’t look like he had a fever; he looked like he had a terminal illness.
“Are you feeling better?” She quickly reverted to her usual gentle demeanor, placing a takeout box on the bedside table. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I got you some food from the cafeteria.”
“Se-senior, you’re so kind,” Ji Feng said hoarsely, like a dying old man: “But I’m not hungry. I can’t even eat; I feel like throwing up whenever I try.”
“How can that be? Is your IV getting worse?” Bai Yueli was surprised and made to find the school doctor: “I’ll get the doctor to check on you.”
“Hey, Senior!” This was said without any pause or gasp. Ji Feng quickly circled Bai Yueli’s hand.
The boy’s hand was firm and strong, gripping somewhat painfully. Bai Yueli’s brow subtly furrowed in displeasure. She disliked being touched by strangers and coldly pulled her hand away.
Ji Feng also realized his impropriety and slowly retracted his hand: “No need. The doctor said it would take three days of IV drips to get better.” His tone was a bit more normal, though still with a deliberate hoarseness.
“Alright, then make sure you rest,” Bai Yueli said. “The club will be quite busy these days, but you don’t need to worry. I’ll come over to help when I have time.”
“Okay,” Ji Feng, immersed in Senior’s gentleness, assented infatuatedly.
Bai Yueli cared for him for a few moments before awkwardly leaving. Even just those few words were enough for Ji Feng to be utterly captivated.
Ji Feng gazed infatuatedly at Senior’s retreating back.
He had actually taken advantage of Senior’s kindness.
Sigh, when would Senior treat only him like this?
Ji Feng pondered while gnawing on a drumstick. He had to admit, Ji Ci’s tactics were somewhat useful. He had already decided that whatever Ji Ci used next, he would learn. Wasn’t this more practical than those things he read on the browser? What were those things even writing about?
“Achoo! Achoo!” Ji Ci was in class when two sudden sneezes jolted Pei Ling awake.
“You…” Pei Ling groggily sat up: “One sneeze means someone’s thinking of you, two sneezes mean someone’s cursing you. Who did you offend?”
Ji Ci blew her nose, but it was still stuffy. She felt unusually annoyed and mumbled: “I’ve offended too many people, how would I know who it is?”
