CH 10

The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 10, Pure Campus Love



_Because the two lived close to each other, they promised to head over to the studio together.



This time Luan Qing Xiao didn’t have to wait.  As soon as she came out her house, she saw the petite figure of Nie Zhen’er in the distance.



Nie Zhen'er's little face was flushed. She seemed full of energy, and you can tell at a glance that she slept exceptional well last night.



When she saw Luan Qing Xiao, she jumped excitedly in place. Then, she waved her hand in greeting, "Qing Xiao!"



Luan Qing Xiao's emotionless face involuntarily smiled, "Why are you so happy?"



Thinking of the sudden increase of 5% of happiness status yesterday, Luan Qing Xiao asked, "Did you arrive home and ate something delicious yesterday? Or did you meet your crush?"



Today, Nie Zhen'er wore a white t-shirt along with a pair of sandy-colored high waisted denim jeans, and her t-shirt was tucked inside her jeans. Her waist looked so thin that it could easily be snapped in half. Her legs were long and straight and when her ankles were exposed under the sun, the bluish blood vessels could be seen against her clear skin.



Since the two had to share a parasol, they walked in close proximity. When Luan Qing Xiao looked down, she could see Nie Zhen’er’s glowing ears protruding from her hair.



Nie Zhen'er raised her head, somewhat nervously, "Was it that obvious, I’m happy?" She had already restrained herself as much as possible.



"What do you think, Young Miss." Luan Qing Xiao gently flicked her ear.



Luan Qing Xiao felt Nie Zhen'er's body tense up after her action, and the blush spread from her ear to her cheeks, "Probably because we’re heading to the studio. I enjoy painting very much," blinking her sparkling eyes.



"It's that simple?" Just because of painting, her happiness status increased by 5%?



Nie Zhen'er nodded in confirmation, "It's that simple. I'm easily satisfied."



Luan Qing Xiao: 520, this female lead is rather straightforward. Looks like that I’ll be able to complete the mission quickly, receive my bonus soon and reach the pinnacle of life.



【Go, Host! I’m cheering for you ~ 】



Luan Qing Xiao’s mood also changed for the better. She suddenly stretched out to put her arm around Nie Zhen'er's thin shoulders, leaned her body slightly, and shifted some of her weight on Nie Zhen'er.



She thought that Nie Zhen'er's body would at least get a lurch forward or stagger, but Nie Zhen'er stood steady, although her body grew taut and his face turned even red.



Luan Qing Xiao found that intriguing. She felt mischievous and wanted to see when Nie Zhen'er would push her away; so she kept her arm around her crookedly, and gave herself a reason, "This umbrella is too small, let’s get closer. Zhen’er, you wouldn’t mind, right?"



With the bewitching phoenix eyes coming closer, Nie Zhen'er's heart throb intensely, "I-I don't mind." Her voice trembling.



The two of them continued to walk for about a hundred meters like conjoined twins. Nie Zhen'er's body gradually relaxed as she got used to the situation.



Luan Qing Xiao had only meant to teased her, so she retracted her arm.



Luan Qing Xiao's personality in the real world was gentle on the surface, but was actually quite apathetic on the inside. She was extremely slow in warming to people, it is incredibly difficult for her to like someone.



Once people like her fall in love, they will definitely act boldly and passionate. They would offer the whole world to the person they loved if they could.



When Luan Qing Xiao retracted her arm, Nie Zhen'er was relieved while feeling a bit down. The warm touch seemed to linger on her shoulders, and the place touched by Luan Qing Xiao increased so much in sensitivity that she could clearly hear the blood flowing in her blood vessels.



These bizarre behaviors were all caused by one person.



Nie Zhen'er tilted her head slightly. As she stared at Luan Qing Xiao's side profile, she couldn't help revealing a sweet smile.



She really hasn't felt this happy for a long time, presumably since her birth up till now.



When arrived at the studio, Luan Qing Xiao found that both the beginner and the award winners like Nie Zhen'er were in the same room with two instructors, one male and one female, instructing separately.



Luan Qing Xiao learned to draw in her real world, but it was traditional Chinese painting, which basically was no help in sketching.



Without using the time-limited skill, she was only an ordinary beginner.



In contrast, Nie Zhen'er who sat next to her was different, like if she randomly drew a circle, it would have been a perfect circle.



The female instructor walked to Nie Zhen'er’s side and advised, "This painting competition is  incredibly important. It concerns your future in the painting industry, whether you become a blockbuster or stay unknown forever. You are very talented, do prepare well."



Nie Zhen'er nodded, "I know Teacher Liu, I will."



Teacher Liu walked off to instruct the others. Nie Zhen'er noticed Luan Qing Xiao's curious gaze and smiled at her with lights in her eyes, "I’m preparing for the Lu Shi Cup painting contest that’s in a month."



"Is it important?"



"En, extremely." Nie Zhen'er said seriously.



"I want to be a painter in the future. If I can win this time, it will be very helpful to me."



Luan Qing Xiao's eyes softened, and she skimmed her hand across her refined little face: "You’re so amazing, you will definitely be able to do it."



Half a month in, a new student suddenly appeared in the studio.



The moment she saw Liang Yan, the milky voice of 520, sounded in Luan Qing Xiao's ears.



【Ding! Opportunity 2 has appeared! The female lead is currently in the bathroom. Requesting Host to fake admiring while actually sabotaging the female lead’s competing painting, and get "accidentally" discovered by the male lead. That’ll provide the male lead with a chance to save the beauty~ 】



Luan Qing Xiao: … Can’t I not do this?



【No way~ Host must personally alter the female lead's paintings for it to count~ The ten opportunities released by 520 are mandatory missions. Host should take them seriously! 】



Luan Qing Xiao said with mixed emotions: You never said that before, 520.



【Ying ying～520 is only issuing missions based on the regulations. To help the Host have a better understanding, these are pre-schedule, and you really can’t not do them~ 】



Luan Qing Xiao:...



She clearly knew how much Nie Zhen'er valued this chance. If she sabotages the painting, Nie Zhen'er will definitely be very upset...



Luan Qing Xiao sighed.



Liang Yan sat diagonal behind Nie Zhen'er. Luan Qing Xiao put down her portfolio and walked in front of Nie Zhen'er's easel, pretending to admire it.



They came early today, so there were only five or six people in the studio, all doing their own things, except for Liang Yan who looked at Luan Qing Xiao from time to time. No one else paid attention here.



Nie Zhen'er spent half a month on this painting. The coloring was almost done, all she needed to do was to put on the finishing touches.



Luan Qing Xiao picked up the brush. The tip of the brush was like a fiery flame, such that as long as it touched the painting, it could burn it down.



It is so easy to destroy someone else’s efforts... Luan Qing Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold glint.



Luan Qing Xiao: When will the male lead find out?



【In a minute, the male lead will head over here. Host, please hurry up! 】



Luan Qing Xiao with a frosty face: You just said that I only need to personally alter the female lead's paintings. It’s my choice if I changed it for the better, or worse, right?



【Yi? In theory...that’s correct! 】



Luan Qing Xiao: 520, I want to use the time-limited skill, [The Miraculous Hands of a Painter].



【Ding! Host has successfully used the time-limited skill, 



[The Miraculous Hands of a Painter],



Skill description: Fear not in picking up the paintbrush, you are an excellent painter



Time limit: One hour】



Luan Qing Xiao looked at the painting in front of her. She now knew how to make it more perfect.



The scarlet tip jumped unscrupulously on the drawing canvas. But with a few strokes, the picture became more vivid, the bright colors of the ice and snow formed a strong contrast. The addition of a touch of fire into the scene, turned the depicted despair into hope.



"Luan Qing Xiao, what are you doing?!" An angry male voice roared beside her.



Liang Yan always knew that Nie Zhen'er was taking lessons in QingFeng Studio. He just had no interest in painting along with the cram school his parents signed him up for, he never thought of ​​joining the studio before.



Then, he found out that Luan Qing Xiao was also in the studio. Moreover, after knowing Luan Qing Xiao even came to the studio with Nie Zhen'er every day, Liang Yan couldn’t sit still anymore.



He worked hard in persuading his parents to let him sign up, for the sole purpose of exposing Luan Qing Xiao's true face and making Nie Zhen'er stay far away from her.
