The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 184, The Charismatic Vampire
During class, He Hai would turn his head to bypass Luan Qing Xiao to look at Nie Zhen'er from time to time with a foolish grin on his face.
While Luan Qing Xiao was thinking about how to convince him to give up, He Hai nudged Luan Qing Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Qing Xiao, does Zhen'er have a boyfriend?"
Luan Qing Xiao pretended not to hear him.
He Hai increased his volume and asked Luan Qing Xiao again. This time, without waiting for Luan Qing Xiao to move, the professor on the podium had thrown his chalk at He Hai's forehead.
The professor looked at He Hai, "If you want to talk about love, talk about it after class. My class isn’t a love class."
Everyone in the class turned to He Hai, even Nie Zhen'er also cast her sight over. He Hai was just feeling unlucky when he gained a blessing out of the misfortune. Nie Zhen'er actually noticed him because of this. He Hai admitted his mistake to the professor before sprawling over on his desk and turning to look at Nie Zhen'er.
Yet, Nie Zhen'er was only looking at him with deep vigilance.
He Hai was immediately bewildered.
Why was Nie Zhen'er wary of him? He definitely won’t reveal her identity!
He Hai felt sad that he was misunderstood by Nie Zhen'er.
At this time, the professor on the podium couldn't help it. He grabbed a handful of chalk to throw at He Hai one by one. Each piece of chalk was extremely accurate and all landed on He Hai's forehead accurately.
"Did you not hear me? Since you don't want to listen to my class, I will discuss this with your counselor so that you don't have to come to my class again in the future."
Only now did He Hai notice that the professor was really enraged. Once again he had played out another idiom called "Guarding one but losing the other." He only cared for Nie Zhen'er and lost the professor's heart along the way.
"Professor, I know I was wrong. If you give me another chance, I promise I’ll listen to the class seriously in the future!" He Hai stood up and exclaimed anxiously.
The professor tapped the chalk in his hand, "Sit down. I still have to lecture now. We can discuss the other things in my office after class."
He Hai knew that there was nothing else he could do, so he could only sit down obediently and didn't zone out for the rest of the.
It's not that he wants to, but he dares not to.
This professor doesn’t fail someone easily, but once he does, the students basically can't pass the make-up exam. Unless you work hard to get a hundred points in the exam, you can only give up your diploma.
Without a diploma, their four years at university will be for nothing.
Between love and a degree, He Hai resolutely chose his degree.
After class, He Hai said to Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er, “You guys can go ahead, don't wait for me." Then he distraughtly followed the professor to his office.
Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er didn't plan to wait for him to begin with.
Nie Zhen'er and Luan Qing Xiao went to the next classroom to prepare for their class. When they were sitting at their desk, bored from waiting, Nie Zhen'er tried to ask off-handed, "Does He Hai like you?"
Luan Qing Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Why would you ask that?"
Nie Zhen'er pouted, "I can tell, you know. In the last class, He Hai kept tilting his head to look at you and even whispered to you. Sure enough, you childhood sweethearts’ feelings are truly extraordinary."
Nie Zhen'er's tone was sour, as if she had just finished eating twelve lemons.
Luan Qing Xiao: "... … I think you’ve misunderstood the situation."
"Then tell me, how did I misunderstand?" Whenever Nie Zhen'er thought He Hai liked Luan Qing Xiao, she felt even stifled and even thought it would have been better if she hadn’t saved him yesterday.
Why did she save him for? To cause more trouble for herself?
Luan Qing Xiao laughed, "He Hai was watching you during class. Him talking to me was also only to ask if you had a boyfriend. I haven’t even gotten jealous yet, why are you suddenly jealous?"
Nie Zhen'er: "... …"
"He likes me?" Nie Zhen'er thought it was incredible. "He Hai knows my identity, why would he like me? That's weird."
"You’re beautiful and even saved him. It would be normal for him to want to repay your life saving grace with himself." Luan Qing Xiao said.
However, Nie Zhen'er focused on Luan Qing Xiao again, "Qing Xiao, why aren’t you jealous that He Hai likes me?" Having the person she liked liked by others and suddenly gaining another competitor would make anyone jealous, yet Luan Qing Xiao was still so calm. There’s a problem here.
Luan Qing Xiao reassuringly squeezed Nie Zhen'er's palms and explained, "Who said I'm not jealous? When He Hai asked me if you had a boyfriend, I almost died from jealousy. If you hadn't misunderstood that He Hai liked me, I would’ve been soaked in the vinegar jar all day today."
"What does my misunderstanding have to do with you not being jealous now?" Nie Zhen'er had to get to the bottom of this.
"Think ah, with you being so nervous about me, afraid that I’ll be snatched by He Hai, you must hate He Hai internally, which means you and He Hai are impossible. So of course I’m not jealous. After all, this is a sense of security you gave me." Luan Qing Xiao reached out to grasp Nie Zhen'er, "Thank you, Zhen'er."
"... …You're welcome." Somehow Nie Zhen was persuaded by Luan Qing Xiao.
Before Second Period started, He Hai entered the classroom with his head low. After walking into the classroom he raised his head and found Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er. He realized that they had saved a seat for him and even brought his backpack and stationery. His mood finally improved a little.
He walked to Luan Qing Xiao and sat down, "Thank you Qing Xiao, in my hurry, I forgot to pack my bag."
Luan Qing Xiao replied, "It wasn’t me."
He Hai's heart beat wildly, "Could it be… …" Could it be that Nie Zhen'er helped him pack it?!
"Fang Rui packed it." Luan Qing Xiao ruthlessly broke He Hai's illusion.
He Hai: "... …"
"Zhen’er and I only noticed that we’ve forgotten to take your backpack halfway through and happened to met Fang Rui who volunteered to pack your bag and bring it over."
He Hai glanced around, "Where’s Fang Rui?"
"Back at the dorm, his major didn’t have class." Luan Qing Xiao sighed, "You guys are truly brotherly."
He Hai smiled, "Fang Rui is just such a thoughtful and considerate person. I said at the beginning that I wanted to introduce him to you. How about it? Are you regretting it now?"
Luan Qing Xiao shook her head, "Not regretting it."
"You’re just stubborn." He Hai didn't believe she didn't regret it.
Luan Qing Xiao arched her eyebrows triumphantly, "You have to believe me, but I have someone I like."
He Hai suddenly became gossipy, "Who is it? Okay you, secretly getting in a relationship and not telling me."
"It's me." Nie Zhen'er leaned over slightly, showing her pretty face, and said to He Hai.
For a moment, He Hai didn't react. Then he asked in a daze, "What?"
"The one Qing Xiao likes is me." Nie Zhen'er said.
"!!!" He Hai stood up from his chair, worked up, "Today isn’t April Fool's Day and this joke is not funny at all."
"We’re not kidding, it's true." Luan Qing Xiao must extinguish the starting sparks of He Hai like Nie Zhen'er before it develops further.
Because He Hai’s standing up made too much noise, many people around him looked over. He Hai saw their probing eyes and realized this wasn’t the time to say this, so he pursed his lips and sat down again.
"Let's talk about this after class and you aren’t allowed to lie. Whoever lies is a puppy!" He Hai lowered his voice.
"Okay." Luan Qing Xiao responded.
After a tranquil period of class, He Hai quickly packed his backpack and walked to the aisle to wait for Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er.
Watching Luan Qing Xiao help Nie Zhen'er pack her backpack and Nie Zhen'er smiling happily, he already believed what Luan Qing Xiao said just now.
The powerful cold-faced goddess, Nie Zhen'er, in his heart, was completely different from the soft and endearing cutie in front of Luan Qing Xiao.
Maybe the Nie Zhen'er he liked was just a figure he had imagined.
On the three’s way to the canteen, He Hai couldn't help but say to Nie Zhen'er, "Zhen'er, you said Qing Xiao likes you, then do you like her too?"
Nie Zhen'er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao with eyes full of love, and smiled, "I do."
He Hai: "... …" Ten thousand critical hits received.
The secret crush he had only started just ended like that.
Luan Qing Xiao patted He Hai's shoulder hard, causing He Hai to yelp in pain.
Luan Qing Xiao said, "Based on the fact that you’re my childhood friend, I didn’t use a heavier handed method. Next time you chase a girl, you should investigate a little to prevent yourself from intervening between someone who already has a girlfriend."
He Hai groaned in pain and used his uninjured hand to rub his injured shoulder from Luan Qing Xiao's pat, "This is my first time, alright? Now that I have experience, I’ll definitely investigate it clearly in the future before chasing someone."
Considering He Hai's good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Luan Qing Xiao decided to let him go, "If you eat with us, your soul will definitely be hurt. I suggest you go find someone else to eat with."
Just when He Hai wanted to say "I can eat by myself just fine", Fang Rui and his two roommates walked over from the side road. He Hai immediately greeted them excitedly, "Fang Rui! Fang Rui! Let me tag along for lunch!"
Without a light bulb, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er ate their Mao Xue Wang lunch in their own little world.
Although there were no classes on Monday afternoons, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er both joined the Financial Organization and needed to participate in club activities in the afternoon.
The sponsor of the Financial Organization was the male lead Wen Xi Qin.
"Wen Xi Qin likes you." Luan Qing Xiao said, acting jealous.
Nie Zhen'er quickly denied, "He doesn't like me, he likes vampires. There is only one me in the world, but I’m not the only vampire."
"Also," Nie Zhen'er paused, "Your acting skills are too bad, you didn’t seem to be jealous at all."
Luan Qing Xiao: "... …"
After a long silence, Luan Qing Xiao asked incredulously, "It’s really that bad?"
Nie Zhen'er nodded affirmatively, "Even those eighteenth-line stars are better than you."
