CH 14

The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 14, Pure Campus Love



The cicadas on the tree buzzed deafening in the background.



Luan Qing Xiao's eyebrows were chilling cold, and her thin lips opened slightly, "Auntie, my family is extremely wealthy and I live in the huge villa across the street. Now, I want to invite Zhen'er to my house for dinner, may I?"



Nie Zhen'er's mother, Nie Mei Feng, wasn’t the slightest angered by Luan Qing Xiao's tone.



Instead, a flower-like smile blossomed across her aged, charming face. For an elder, it was rather frivolous to show such a smile to a junior, but she didn't care at all.



Nie Mei Feng's eyes expressed her greed, "Qing Xiao, you see, Auntie hasn't finished eating either, how about..." When she smiled, the wrinkles climbed up her face, making people a little disgusted.



"Auntie, unfortunately, my parents aren’t at home. There’s no one at home to entertain you, maybe next time." Luan Qing Xiao interrupted her.



"Oh, oh, that's right. When your parents are home, tell Auntie, Auntie will definitely pay a visit!" Nie Mei Feng waited for Luan Qing Xiao's answer, and only returned home after Luan Qing Xiao nodded in response.



She never even spared a look at Nie Zhen'er throughout all of this.



To Luan Qing Xiao, she was enthusiastic and intimate like she was her real daughter, but to Nie Zhen'er, her actual daughter, she treated her as a stranger.



Watching Nie Mei Feng enter the door, Luan Qing Xiao reached out to grasp Nie Zhen'er's hand, only to find her palm was cold and was sweating a lot.



Luan Qing Xiao comforted Nie Zhen’er by patting her on the head, "Let's go to my house."



Luan Qing Xiao took two steps forward and gently tugged Nie Zhen'er's hand, which finally made Nie Zhen'er move slowly.



The blank look on her face distressed her.



Back home, Luan Qing Xiao pressed Nie Zhen'er on the sofa, turned on the TV for her before subscribing to a newly released funny variety show, "Watch TV for now, and the food will be ready soon."



Luan Qing Xiao’s refrigerator has vegetables, fish, seafood, and other ingredients bought by hourly workers. She plans to make some sauteed cucumbers and shrimps, braised beef, seaweed and egg soup and steamed white rice.



After all the dishes were finished, Luan Qing Xiao bought them on the table.



She spent more than forty minutes, and the variety show on TV hasn’t finished yet.



Luan Qing Xiao came to the living room and saw that most of the gloom between Nie Zhen'er's eyebrows had faded away, though she was absent-minded, causing her to not be able to hear the stars on the TV, who was laughing loudly.



"Zhen'er, time to eat." Luan Qing Xiao took her hand, pulling softly.



Nie Zhen'er stood up following the pull and followed Luan Qing Xiao to the dining room.



As she walked closer, a strong, almost overbearing smell of food pounced toward her. Nie Zhen'er blinked and approached the dining room. Looking at the two dishes and one soup on the table, her mouth wowed in surprise.



Luan Qing Xiao smiled triumphantly, "It smells good and tastes even better. After all, I made it myself."



Luan Qing Xiao pulled back a chair and let Nie Zhen'er sit down. Then she picked up a piece of braised beef with chopsticks, and brought it to her mouth, "Have a taste."



The cut of the red braised beef in front of her was the size of a one-yuan coin, drenched in bright red sauce, and tremblingly attached to the tip of the chopsticks. Nie Zhen'er couldn't help but open her mouth. The next moment, the red braised beef entered.



The beef felt as if it was melting in her mouth, and Nie Zhen'er hardly needed to chew. The fragrant taste burst in her mouth in an instant. Before even swallowing the piece in her mouth, her eyes were already staring at another piece on the plate.



"How does it taste?" Luan Qing Xiao asked expectantly.



Nie Zhen'er squinted her eyes in enjoyment, "Delicious!"



【Ding! The female lead’s happiness status is at 30%. Congratulations to Host, keep working hard~】



With the meal not even finished, 520 had already sent some good news.



Luan Qing Xiao looked at Nie Zhen'er, who was eating happily, and her heart moved slightly.



Luan Qing Xiao: 520, I realized the happiness of the female lead will rise regardless of the male lead.



She narrowed her eyes: Why do you want me to cause problems for the female lead at those times to provide opportunities for the male lead?



【Host dada, here’s why. Because this world is the simplest E-rank world, to help Host dad in cases where you don’t know how to complete the mission, these mandatory opportunities are set in place. As the difficulty of the world increases in the future, the compulsory plots will gradually decrease. I’ll disclose a secret with Host dada: There isn’t any compulsory opportunities in the S-rank worlds~】



【As for what the increase in the female lead’s happiness status is related to, the male lead was the best candidate for the job through our computations from the data, however he isn’t a must. 】



Luan Qing Xiao: In other words, besides the male lead, other people can also help the female lead to increase her happiness?



【Right (≧▽≦)】



Luan Qing Xiao:...



Then why did she have to walk with Liang Yan this month? More importantly, even after she troubled herself for a month, Nie Zhen'er didn't get any happier due to Liang Yan.



On the contrary, it was herself making only a dinner for her and her happiness status grew by five percent.



Luan Qing Xiao knew because she was unfamiliar with the mission process before, allowing 520 to lead her astray.



Thinking about it carefully, Nie Zhen'er would rather go to and from school with her rather than Liang Yan. Maybe she didn't have the thoughts of wanting to date Liang Yan.



Luan Qing Xiao reached out to pet Nie Zhen'er's head. She was bribed with only a single meal, what an easily satisfied girl.



What I did to her previously wasn’t too nice, although she might be forced to do something similar to Nie Zhen'er later, Luan Qing Xiao now plans to double the compensation no matter what, as to not make her feel sad.



After eating, Nie Zhen’er's mood has recovered. Therefore, she scrambled to wipe the table and wash the dishes.



Luan Qing Xiao leaned on the door frame of the kitchen, watching Nie Zhen’er's slender back while washing the dishes and jokingly said, "Don’t you think the two of us look like newlyweds, one in charge of cooking and the other in charge of washing the dishes."



Nie Zhen'er's movements slowed down. Although she knew  Luan Qing Xiao had no other meaning, she still felt very happy.



If the hypothetical scenario could become a reality, she will definitely become the happiest person in the world.



When the kitchen was finally cleaned neatly, the sky already darken.



Luan Qing Xiao's house has a mini movie theater. And since the two had nothing else to do, she headed to the room to watch a movie with Nie Zhen'er.



Luan Qing Xiao chose a zombie comedy. Nie Zhen'er looked at the cover with novelty and fear, "It won’t be too scary, right?"



Luan Qing Xiao laughed, "Although there are zombies, its main theme is comedy. Don't worry, it’s not going to get very scary. If you feel scared, you can hug my arm."



Nie Zhen'er nodded, cautiously watching Luan Qing Xiao clicking the play button.



Except for the little horror when the zombies come out at the beginning, the film was completely comedic.



At the start, Nie Zhen'er shrank into a ball when she was scared, and instead she held on tightly to her arm when she was laughing so hard that she could hardly breathe.



The teen girl's body wasn’t fully developed yet, only two small bulges rubbing against Luan Qing Xiao's arms. Luan Qing Xiao felt it was normal for two girls to act like this, but a layer of goosebumps still popped up on her arms.



Halfway through the movie, when the funniest part passed, Luan Qing Xiao took the opportunity to slip her arm out of Nie Zhen’er's embrace.



She stood up and lowered her head to meet Nie Zhen'er's puzzled gaze before explaining, “You’re probably thirsty, I'll get you something to drink."



But who knew the bottled waters just happened to be gone, the hourly workers wouldn’t be able to bring new ones until tomorrow. There were only two bottles of peach-flavored champagne left in the refrigerator.



Luan Qing Xiao picked it up and glanced at it. The alcohol concentration was around fiveish percent, they shouldn’t get drunk if they casually drink a little.



She opened the bottle and poured two glasses out along with washing a green grape bunch and brought them to the theater room together.
