The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 28, Pure Campus Love



WHY ARE THEY SO CUUUTEE??!!



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Luan Qing Xiao couldn't bear to see her like that., She pulled on her little hand, and said, "Fortunately, you didn't forget to take me when you went out today."



Luan Qing Xiao asked the staff behind the counter for a piece of paper and a pen. Then she took the pen and lowered her head to sketch on the paper.



Nie Zhen'er was attracted by her actions. She looked over and saw Luan Qing Xiao drew several irregularly placed black rectangles on the paper. As Luan Qing Xiao's movements sped up, more and more black rectangles appeared on the sheet.



"Ah, are you drawing a QR code?" Nie Zhen’er exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock.



The staff member also came over, stunned.



Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "Didn't you show me the QR code after you bought the ticket?"



"You remembered it after one glance?" Nie Zhen'er praised in admiration.



She always knew Luan Qing Xiao was amazing, but she didn't expect that she would be this outstanding.



"It wasn’t that hard to remember." Luan Qing Xiao replied modestly.



The couple who was buying  popcorn next to them laughed, and the girl with twin tails said to her boyfriend, "Look at renjia. She can sketch a QR code after one glance, that’s so cool. If it were you, you definitely won’t be able do it."



The boy peered contemptuously at Luan Qing Xiao, and retorted to his girlfriend, "Heh, who knows if she is just randomly stretching." Making a QR code by hand, impossible!



"Watch and see, the QR code she draws definitely won’t be able to work." The boy tilted his body to face Luan Qing Xiao, with his elbows on the counter, vowing.



The two's voices weren’t too small. Nie Zhen’er came to Luan Qing Xiao’s defense after hearing this, "The QR code Qing Xiao make can definitely work."



The boy wanted to continue taunting. However, when he turned his head and saw Nie Zhen'er, his face flushed, "Is-is that right?"



"Wei, why are you blushing!" The twin tailed girl smacked the back of his head angrily.



"Aiyo!" He painfully covered the back of his head while his eyes still involuntarily focused on Nie Zhen'er.



"I'm finished."



Luan Qing Xiao raised her hand and stuck the paper on the boy's face, "Don't look at things you have no right to."



The girl with twin tails was upset with her boyfriend being bullied, she straightened her neck to speak. Luan Qing Xiao gave her a faint glance, "You definitely don't want to know the consequences of offending me." The girl took two steps back, frightened and immediately swallowed what she wanted to say.



"Thank you." Luan Qing Xiao returned the pen to the staff.



"You're welcome, you're welcome. There are still five minutes before the movie, you guys should hurry up and get your tickets."



Luan Qing Xiao took off the paper pasted on the boy's face, and Nie Zhen'er piped up, "I'll get the tickets."



She happily ran over, pressed twice on the automatic ticket collection machine, and aimed the QR code Luan Qing Xiao did to the scanning port. The machine screen displayed "Retrieving the Tickets Now, 2 tickets.” Two seconds later, the ticket collection dock printed out two movie tickets.



Nie Zhen'er picked it up and checked it. It was the seat number she bought, then she ran back to Luan Qing Xiao like the wind, and excitedly exclaimed, "Qing Xiao, look, the movie tickets."



"Wc, what kind of psychopath is this!"



Leaving behind the dumbfounded couple and the awestruck counter’s attendant, the two smoothly entered the movie room.



When watching the movie, Nie Zhen'er remained in a state of excitement. The smile on her face never disappeared, turning her head to glance at Luan Qing Xiao from time to time.



Luan Qing Xiao raised her hand and supported her chin, "What's wrong? You don’t like this movie?"



Nie Zhen’er held Luan Qing Xiao's hand in her palm, "Qing Xiao, I am so happy now. You were so handsome just now, and made my heart beat so fast. What should I do? I can't focus on the movie at all. "



As if afraid to disturb the other movie viewers, Nie Zhen'er leaned closer to Luan Qing Xiao's ear, whispering.



Luan Qing Xiao smelled the delicate fragrance of flowers, and her sensitive ears were red with blood from Nie Zhen'er's movements.



She used her other hand to feed popcorn to Nie Zhen'er, "If you can't focus, then don’t. I'll feed you popcorn."



Nie Zhen'er held the caramel-flavored popcorn in her mouth, "I'll feed you too." She raised one hand and fed it to Luan Qing Xiao. Luan Qing Xiao opened her mouth slightly and accidentally bit Nie Zhen'er's fingertips in the process.



Although she immediately released her teeth, Nie Zhen'er's delicate fingers still were left with a bright red tooth mark.



Luan Qing Xiao took her hand and found no broken skin after a careful inspection. She let out a sigh of relief, "Does it hurt?" she uttered softly.



Nie Zhen'er shook her head quickly, "It doesn't hurt, I'm fine."



Ah ah ah ah, why am I so clumsy with my hands? I took back my fingers so slow that my fingertips were bitten by Qing Xiao. Nie Zhen'er thought distressedly.



After watching the movie, they took a taxi to the reserved restaurant, right on time.



They sat down and ordered their meals. After a while, the birthday cake was delivered to them.



The two of them were in a private room with a good soundproofing wall. When done with the meal, Nie Zhen'er put candles on the cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to Luan Qing Xiao.



"Quick, blow out the candle and make a wish."



Luan Qing Xiao walked to Nie Zhen'er's side, took her hand, and smiled, "Let’s blow it out together."



Nie Zhen'er blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering.



Luan Qing Xiao fixed her confused face, "I’ll count 123, and then we’ll blow it together."



"1, 2, 3...whoo-"



"Whoo-"



The eighteen candles went out one by one as Luan Qing Xiao closed her eyes and made a wish.



Nie Zhen'er sat next to her and looked at her foolishly; from her eyebrows to her eyes, to her nose and lastly her lips. Her own lips pursed nervously as she wondered how it would feel to be kissed by those lips.



By the time Luan Qing Xiao opened her eyes after making the wish, Nie Zhen'er had already turned her attention to the birthday cake.



"I want to eat the cherries." Nie Zhen'er pointed to the piece she was fond of to Luan Qing Xiao.



Luan Qing Xiao helped her cut that slice and put it on the paper plate.



"I’ll eat the strawberries." Luan Qing Xiao looked at Nie Zhen'er.



Nie Zhen'er, who had already started to eat the cake, looked at Luan Qing Xiao in confusion. She didn't understand what she meant.



"I helped you cut your slice, aren’t you going to help me?" Luan Qing Xiao's eyes drooped. Her thick eyelashes covering her eyes, looking inexplicably wronged.



Nie Zhen'er dropped the spoon in her hand on the table and instantly picked up the plastic knife and said, "Cut, I’ll cut, r-right away. Qing Xiao, just give me a second."



Luan Qing Xiao has always been synonymous with strong, generous and warm in her mind. Because it was the first time to see her "acting cute", Nie Zhen'er didn’t react at first.



She earnestly put a piece of cake with strawberries onto Luan Qing Xiao's plate, took a new spoon and put it in her hand, "Here, try it."



As soon as the cake entered her mouth, the rich, sweet smell dominated the entire mouth, and the sweetness and sourness of the strawberry neutralized the greasiness of the cream perfectly.



"Is it good?" Nie Zhen'er asked afterwards.



Luan Qing Xiao peered at her red ruddy lips with a little white cream on them, wondering whether it would taste better than the birthday cake.



"It's delicious." Luan Qing Xiao said huskily.



Nie Zhen'er beamed, "I also think it's very delicious."



After eating, the two went to the shopping mall above the restaurant. Luan Qing Xiao excused herself to the bathroom and bought all the clothes and accessories Nie Zhen'er had been looking at, leaving her address and letting the store deliver it to her home tomorrow.



It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when they went home. Nie Mei Feng wasn’t home, so Nie Zhen'er took a few changes of clothes and planned to sleep over at Luan Qing Xiao's for one night.



Luan Qing Xiao waited for her outside. Soon Nie Zhen'er came outside with her packed bag.



Suddenly there was a sharp female voice next to her, "Where are you sneaking off to with a bag this late!"



Nie Zhen'er’s body instinctively trembled in fright. She turned around to see Nie Mei Feng glaring at her as she headed their way.



Luan Qing Xiao tried to soothe her by patting her back gently before moving in front of her to block Nie Mei Feng's sight.



"Auntie, I was bored at home, so I want to invite Zhen'er to stay at my house for one night."



When Nie Mei Feng faced Luan Qing Xiao, she had a completely different attitude. She waved her hand generously and said, "Go, go, it's Zhen’er’s blessing to have known you."



Luan Qing Xiao glanced at Nie Zhen'er. There were no emotions in her eyes, as if Nie Mei Feng was a stranger.



Luan Qing Xiao sighed and took Nie Zhen'er back home.



After entering the house, Nie Zhen'er put on slippers and headed to the bedroom upstairs to put down her bag. When she walked to the living room, she saw that there were a bunch of large and medium gift boxes in the middle of the living room. She spun around in surprise and called Luan Qing Xiao, "Qing Xiao, come and see. There’s a roomful of presents!"



"What?" Luan Qing Xiao walked over calmly and saw the piles of gift boxes with a faint smile, "My parents don't have time to spend my birthday with me. They only give a bunch of gifts every year."



Nie Zhen'er came over and took Luan Qing Xiao's hand. She shook it gently, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I will accompany you in the future."



Luan Qing Xiao looked at her deeply. She resisted her urge to embrace and only shook her hand, "I’ll remember that. If you break your promise, I will chase after you no matter where you are."



"I'm gonna prepare dinner, you can go upstairs and rest for a while."



"En."



Nie Zhen'er carried her schoolbag and walked up the spiral staircase. Halfway through, she suddenly swiveled around, saying, "Qing Xiao, don't push yourself too much either~."



Luan Qing Xiao waved her hand at her, "I have a strong body. You should go sleep first, and I will call you once dinner is done."



Entering Luan Qing Xiao’s bedroom for the third time, Nie Zhen’er could now easily suppress the shyness in her heart. She changed into her pajamas, and  threw herself into the big fluffy bed, pulling the quilt over her head, breathing in the faint lemon scent from Luan Qing Xiao’s body. Last time she was here, she also used the lemon scented body wash.



She rolled around on the bed waiting for the blanket to wrap her body like a cocoon, as if Luan Qing Xiao hugging herself, before closing her eyes and falling asleep peacefully.



Who knows how much time passed, Nie Zhen'er vaguely heard someone calling her name. She opened her eyes in a daze, and took a long time to focus on Luan Qing Xiao's face.



"Guai guai, time to get up and eat." Luan Qing Xiao stroked Nie Zhen'er's long and thick lashes with her fingertips and squeezed her tender cheeks, leaving a light mark on her fair-white skin.



Nie Zhen'er's still sleepy little head couldn't understand why Luan Qing Xiao was pinching herself. She covered her cheek aggrievedly while the mist condensed in her almond eyes, and it seemed like a light rain was approaching.



Luan Qing Xiao didn't understand why she was about to cry. Her voice became softer and gentler, "Is Zhen’er hungry? I made lots and lots of delicious dishes, all of your favorite dishes. Let’s get up to eat, alright?"



Nie Zhen'er pulled the blanket to the tip of her nose, revealing only a pair of misty apricot eyes, and her voice was slightly hoarse because she had just woke up, "That's no reason to bully me and pinch my face~"



"It hurts?"



"It does."



Luan Qing Xiao’s strength was very light and it didn’t actually hurt at all, but Nie Zhen’er felt only if she said “it hurts,” someone would comfort her. Therefore, she repeated it again with her apricot eyes wide open, "It hurts." What she really meant was: Come and comfort me ya.



Luan Qing Xiao: "..."



Five minutes later, the sober Nie Zhen'er was ashamed and reluctant to face the reality. How could she say that to Luan Qing Xiao!



Luan Qing Xiao patted her on the head, smiling, "Alright, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. The food will get cold if you don't get up soon."



Nie Zhen'er sat up slowly. Her voice muffled under the blanket, "Qing Xiao, you head down first." Just now she embarrassed herself, she can’t face Qing Xiao right now.



Luan Qing Xiao glanced at her red ears and stood up, "What a shy little girl, I’ll leave first."



Hearing Luan Qing Xiao's footsteps go away, Nie Zhen'er finally showed her face.



Her cheeks were flushed, like a little apple.



She took a deep breath and quickly changed her clothes before quickly rushing downstairs after her heartbeat calmed down.



Luan Qing Xiao was at the table waiting for her, her eyes lit up the moment she saw her figure.



The girl in front of her is light and graceful as she skipped her way to her. Her soft hair was fluffy, her brows were smiling, her pink lips slightly curved and her slightly thin body wore a fitted linen and a plaid skirt, which was youthful and charming. .



Compared to the beautiful and delicious little beauty sitting in front of her. Luan Qing Xiao's dinner became tasteless. Nie Zhen'er was at a loss with her frequent gazes. She blushed and buried her face in the bowl, embarrassed to raise her head.



After dinner, Luan Qing Xiao noticed Nie Zhen'er was curious about the gifts stacked in the living room, so she decided to open the gifts in front of her.



Two people sat on the fluffy carpet:  Nie Zhen'er would point to one and Luan Qing Xiao would unwrap that one.



Luan Qing Xiao’s mother, Ms. Yu, gave all jewelry such as diamonds and jewels, while Mr. Luan gave various luxurious dresses from a high-end store. The color was light blue and pale pink that Luan Qing Xiao never wore.



"Nothing new, all the same every year." If it wasn't for the dresses being made according to her figure and it didn’t fit Nie Zhen’er, she would have given it all to Nie Zhen'er.



Luan Qing Xiao hugged the thousand paper cranes Nie Zhen'er folded for her like a treasure, "At least Zhen’er gets me, only Zhen'er truly cares about me."



Nie Zhen’er recognized the loneliness in Luan Qing Xiao’s eyes. She gently hugged her, “I got your back and you have mine too
