The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 16, Pure Campus Love
Nie Zhen'er stretched and rolled around on the bed holding the blanket
She hasn't slept so well for a long time, since every day at home was depressive. Sometimes when Nie Mei Feng comes home late, regardless whether Nie Zhen'er was asleep or not, she would drag her up and swear at her, taking out the day’s frustration on her.
As Nie Zhen'er thought of Nie Mei Feng, her heart began suffocating. Immediately, she faced the reality of things and stopped lazing in bed, she quickly opened her eyes to cook breakfast.
"Huh?" Nie Zhen'er looked at the bedroom in front of her in surprise. Where is this? Why is she here?
Nie Zhen'er's face was pale, and she pressed her aching temple. She vaguely remembered she was with Luan Qing Xiao yesterday. Qing Xiao even cooked some delicious food. Then, they watched the movie together. Later, she brought two glasses of peach-flavored champagne. It was very sweet, so she quickly drank her small glass. And after that, she had no memory of anything else.
She should still be at Luan Qing Xiao's house.
Nie Zhen'er held her head and opened the quilt with the other hand. She found she was only wearing her small bra and a pair of shorts, with two slender white legs exposed.
She looked around in a panic. There were skin care products on the dressing table and clothes in the half-open closet, indicating there was someone living in this room, along with the fact Qing Xiao said her parents weren’t at home... thinking that she might have slept in the same bed with Luan Qing Xiao last night, Nie Zhen'er's pale cheeks couldn't help showing two red clouds, her heart raced as she curled up her legs in shyness.
Since Luan Qing Xiao sat upright all night long, she felt stiff when she stood up. She first went to the garden downstairs, walked for a few laps, did some stretching exercises until her body no longer felt like a rusty machine. After glancing at the time, she estimated Nie Zhen'er was about to wake up and headed to the kitchen to make the hangover soup.
People who got drunk generally will feel horrible the next day. Luan Qing Xiao had just confirmed her feelings, how could she be willing to let Nie Zhen'er suffer.
In the morning, when she told 520 about her thoughts, 520 took a long time to reply, probably because it never encountered such a thing before. After a while, it said 【Host dada, 520 isn’t able to resolve this problem, but 520 feels as long as Host dada earnestly complete the optimal opportunities and increase the female lead’s happiness status, you can do whatever you want on the other things~】
The talk with 520 gave her reassurance.
In fact, she regretted it the moment she finished confessing. What if 520 expelled her out of this world, wouldn't she lose her love when she only had a little taste of it?
520 wasn’t only her assistant, but also a supervisor sent by the Plot Fixing Research Institution. She can get intimate with it, but she can’t tell it everything and need to be wary of it.
Luan Qing Xiao brought the brewed hangover soup to the bedroom. The bedroom door wasn’t closed tightly, and opened with a light push.
Luan Qing Xiao walked in and saw Nie Zhen'er's moist eyes with embarrassment. Those beautiful apricot eyes drooped their eyelids immediately when she saw her.
Luan Qing Xiao put the hangover soup on the bedside. Then, she sat on the bed, and took Nie Zhen'er's hand, "Zhen’er, is your head aching? I made the hangover soup for you."
Nie Zhen'er raised her eyes and peeked at her quickly, whispering, "I didn't cause you any trouble when I was drunk, did I?"
Luan Qing Xiao laughed, "You were incredibly obedient when you got drunk."
Suddenly, Nie Zhen'er realized that her legs were still exposed, so she quickly covered herself with the blanket, even her delicate collar bone was covered in shame.
"My clothes..." she asked hesitantly.
Luan Qing Xiao brought the hangover soup in front of Nie Zhen'er, "I was afraid it would make you uncomfortable while sleeping, so I helped you take off your outside clothing. Do you have the strength now? I can feed you if you don't have the strength."
Everything felt like a dream when Nie Zhen'er woke up today, and now Luan Qing Xiao wants to feed her the hangover soup.
Nie Zhen'er was shocked and didn’t answer. The white china spoon had already been brought to her lips.
"I can drink it myself." Nie Zhen'er quickly took over the spoon. She was bashful in drinking too slowly while Luan Qing Xiao watched her. Therefore, after drinking two spoonfuls, she directly chugged the soup in a single gulp.
Luan Qing Xiao took the empty bowl in her hand and asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Nie Zhen'er felt she was surrounded by happiness, and blinked sheepishly, "Anything’s fine." As long as you make it.
"Do you like xiao long bao?"
"Won’t that be too troublesome?" Nie Zhen'er worried Luan Qing Xiao would get tired out.
Although Luan Qing Xiao seemed to be in good spirits, there were faint bags under her eyes. Maybe she didn't sleep well last night because she had to take care of her.
"Not troublesome at all." Luan Qing Xiao put the bowl back on the tray. Then, she got up and went to the chair near the end of the bed and fetched Nie Zhen'er's clothes. "I left a new set of toiletries in the bathroom. If you want to take a shower, there are clean towels in the closet"
"Thank you." Nie Zhen'er hugged the blanket and watched Luan Qing Xiao leave the bedroom. When she thought of showering in the same bathroom where Luan Qing Xiao had showered, her heart couldn't calm down.
Luan Qing Xiao put the xiao long bao in the steamer and started the fire while checking the time. The millet porridge was already brewing, and her thoughts naturally went to Nie Zhen'er, who was in the bedroom.
Zhen'er probably was taking a shower right now. Thinking of it, she doesn't seem to have prepared a change of clothes for Zhen’er, and she can't let her wear yesterday's dirty clothes after the shower.
Thinking of this, Luan Qing Xiao set a timer for the food, then got up and headed back to the bedroom.
Nie Zhen'er was shorter and skinnier than her, so she should be able to wear her clothes.
Luan Qing Xiao walked into the bedroom and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of water still coming from the bathroom.
She opened her wardrobe. The rows of clothes were either T-shirts or jeans, all of which were the oversized type.
Luan Qing Xiao searched for a long time, and finally found a light blue striped dress in the innermost part. She frowned and thought about it. It seemed to be a birthday gift from the original owner's father on her 16th birthday before Luan Qing Xiao came. She was pretty sure it was from an expensive brand, however the original owner hated wearing dresses the most plus this skirt was a size too small, so the original owner threw it in the corner.
But it was just right for Nie Zhen'er.
Luan Qing Xiao put the dress on the back of the chair, walked to the bathroom door, raised her hand and knocked on the door to inform Zhen’er that she had prepared a change of clothes for her. Just as the back of his hand touched the frosted glass door, the door was pulled open.
The hot steam gushed out and Luan Qing Xiao was speechless when she saw the girl in front of her.
She has always known Nie Zhen'er was beautiful, but the girl in front of her was different from usual. With wet hair draped over her shoulders, and water droplets sliding down the dainty collarbone, only to be stopped by the snow-white bath towel.
It wasn’t just her hair wet, but her eyebrows, eyelashes, eyes, and even the tiny hairs on her face were wet. She is indeed a refreshing sight, beautiful and ravishing, but not coquettish.
"Qing Xiao, what's the matter with you?" Nie Zhen'er stretched out her hand and waved in front of Luan Qing Xiao's eyes.
Luan Qing Xiao came back to her senses, rubbing her hot ears and looked away a little embarrassed before turning and pointing to the dress, and saying, “ I remember I forgot to prepare a change of clothes for you. You can change this later, I'll go to the kitchen to see whether the porridge is ready."
When Nie Zhen'er finished breakfast at Luan Qing Xiao's house, she couldn't find another reason to stay any longer. She was a little disappointed and said goodbye to Luan Qing Xiao.
Luan Qing Xiao stood at the doorway to send her off. Nie Zhen'er walked a distance, but couldn't resist turning her head, drawing a beautiful arc with the dress. Luan Qing Xiao was still by the door, looking at her with moving eyes.
"Qing Xiao, I haven't finished my summer homework yet. Can I come find you to do homework together?" she asked courageously.
Under the clear blue sky, the girl's eyes were full of expectation, and her whole person was shining.
Luan Qing Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Sure." I’m fine with even giving my life to you.
The author has something to say: Nie Zhen'er: I don't want your life, I want you.
