After Being Forced Into a Facial Paralysis, the Villain Said I’m Such a Drama Queen - Chapter 22

The next morning, when Sheng Xia woke up, she felt lightheaded and dizzy, her memory a complete blank.

“Why am I lying in bed?” Wasn’t she just attending a banquet with the Eldest Miss?

No way, Xiao Xia, you don’t remember a single thing?

Seeing Sheng Xia shake her head, the viewers in the live stream immediately started spamming “Hahaha,” but they refused to tell her what she had actually done.

Actually, it was nothing much. You just acted like an athlete for a bit; you’re quite talented, Xiao Xia.

Sheng Xia glanced at her clothes; she had already been changed into cartoon pajamas, though she had no idea who did it.

After you got drunk yesterday, the Eldest Miss brought you back in her wheelchair. Later, when you had to change, the live stream was cut off.

It might have been Auntie Zhang who changed you, we aren’t entirely sure. But in all seriousness, Xiao Xia, you’re definitely going to be a well-rounded child in the future.

These comments said everything and nothing at the same time, leaving Sheng Xia feeling anxious. Her fear only grew when she went downstairs and noticed Uncle Li trying to suppress a laugh upon seeing her.

Just what on earth did she do yesterday?

Walking out of the villa, Sheng Xia saw A-Biao staring under a car as if there were a mechanical issue. To be helpful, she reached out and lifted the vehicle slightly, asking, “Can you see clearly now?”

A-Biao didn’t look up. “A bit higher.”

Sheng Xia complied and lifted it further. Once A-Biao finished his inspection, she dusted off her hands and walked away.

“Thanks…” A-Biao patted his trousers and stood up, only for the realization to suddenly hit him.

Who lifted the car?

Standing nearby, A-Si was equally stunned. He slapped A-Biao hard. “I must be dreaming…”

A-Biao punched him back. “Of course you don’t feel pain, you hit me!”

A-Si winced in pain, his fear intensifying. “Sheng Xia just lifted that car with one hand!”

That strength was monstrous.

Lu Wanxing learned of this incident almost immediately. She hadn’t forgotten that yesterday, while Sheng Xia was clearly outside, she somehow knew there were people in the living room. At that time, they were in the car, and Sheng Xia hadn’t looked at her phone or any other information source, meaning she had truly relied on her ears to hear it.

A-Biao walked in and leaned down to whisper something.

Lu Wanxing asked, “Do you know what A-Biao is saying to me?”

A-Biao’s voice was very low, and he had covered his mouth, making it impossible to lip-read.

Sheng Xia knew she had forgotten yesterday’s antics, but she understood that Lu Wanxing was testing her. Realizing that this world wasn’t short of talented individuals, she decided not to hide it and nodded. “Brother Biao said I just lifted a car with one hand.”

“So it’s true?” Lu Wanxing’s tone held a hint of surprise. However, considering she herself could hear inner thoughts, she felt it wasn’t impossible for others to possess extraordinary traits.

It was just that in all these years, Lu Wanxing had never found anyone else like herself.

“Yes, my strength is a bit larger than average.”

A-Biao thought back to how effortlessly Sheng Xia had lifted the car and felt that “a bit” was a massive understatement. Sheng Xia looked so delicate and frail, the type who seemed like she’d fall over if pushed with one hand how could she possess such power?

Lu Wanxing hadn’t expected Sheng Xia to be such a talent. Realizing her hearing and strength were several times superior to a normal person’s, she motioned for her to be taken to the training grounds.

“Do you know how to use a gun?”

“Not really, but I can learn.” Sheng Xia actually knew how, but the original owner of the body did not.

Upon hearing this, A-Biao stepped forward. He taught her the proper stance and grip, and after explaining the key points, he gave a demonstration.

It wasn’t a real firearm, but the simulated recoil was identical. A-Biao had initially worried Sheng Xia wouldn’t be able to steady it, but remembering her freakish strength, he handed the gun directly to her.

Her first shot only grazed the edge of the target. However, every subsequent shot drew closer and closer to the bullseye.

Sheng Xia had no intention of hiding her light under a bushel. Since she planned to stay by Lu Wanxing’s side for protection, she had to demonstrate her value.

Even Sheng Xia didn’t notice that the moment she held the gun, her aura became instantly sharp and serious. In other words, she carried a natural killing intent; she looked nothing like the fool who had tumbled into the fountain yesterday.

It was that very moment when she fell into the water that convinced Lu Wanxing that while Sheng Xia was mysterious, she didn’t have the “IQ” required to be a spy. Moreover, for someone with Sheng Xia’s abilities to act like a fool by her side was a waste of talent. With her skills, any person with an agenda would have recruited her aggressively if they discovered her.

After thinking it over, Lu Wanxing couldn’t help but ask, “Have you practiced diving before?”

Sheng Xia’s cold aura vanished instantly. Recalling the comments she saw in the live stream this morning, her expression turned apprehensive. “No. Did I do something out of line yesterday?”

Seeing that she truly didn’t remember, Lu Wanxing shook her head. “It’s nothing, I was just asking.”

“From now on, you will train with A-Biao and the others. Then, when you’re free, make sure to study hard.” She hadn’t forgotten that Sheng Xia had the college entrance exams next year.

Lu Wanxing asked, “Do you need me to hire a tutor for you?”

“No, no need!” If a tutor came, her status as a “bad student” would be completely exposed.

Events over the past few days had already veered off the original plot, but Sheng Xia wasn’t worried at all; in fact, she found it exciting. The first thing she did upon returning was take out a practice exam and start working. As usual, she got almost everything wrong.

Honestly, now everything Xiao Xia does feels profound to me.

Me too. The host doesn’t look like someone who can’t solve these problems. Is she acting for us?

Heightened senses, high combat power, and strong learning ability.

After today’s events, everyone felt Sheng Xia was “playing the pig to eat the tiger” regarding her studies. After all, they felt like they almost understood the problems just by looking at them; how could Sheng Xia keep getting them wrong?

Xiao Xia, you have no heart. How can you even lie to an old ghost? A ghost who had been a regular in the stream since day one actually started crying, claiming to be hurt by Sheng Xia’s attitude.

Is the trust between humans and ghosts really that thin?!

Sheng Xia, who had just finished checking her answers with a heavy expression, looked up at the comments and blinked.

“Huh? But I really don’t know how to do them.” She wasn’t some genius who understood everything at a glance.

Seeing that they actually cared, Sheng Xia explained, “Actually, I never went to school. I only know a few words, so this knowledge is quite difficult for me.” She felt she might be better off starting from primary school materials to be more efficient.

As soon as she said this, the comments went quiet for a moment.

The viewers felt they might have said something wrong. After all, in a modern society, not even going to school suggested a traumatic past. They didn’t want to rub salt in her wounds. This was not how a cultured ghost should behave!

Host, you aren’t from a cultivation world, are you? Since she hadn’t gone to school, another possibility was that she came from a different system of learning.

At the mention of this, the comments surged with curiosity about Sheng Xia’s original world.

Seeing their questions, Sheng Xia didn’t hide it. “I’m not from a cultivation world. My original world was…”

“The apocalypse.”

!!!

???

The apocalypse?!

Except for the one person who had deduced Sheng Xia’s background at the beginning, most people found it unbelievable.

Is it because the apocalypse broke out and the host was scratched, then came here?

They guessed this because Sheng Xia didn’t act like someone who had survived the apocalypse for a long time. In a wasteland, the gap in power breeds the darkness of human nature, and the collapse of order is common. Facing such multifaceted negativity, numbness is usually the final outcome.

Although they hadn’t known Sheng Xia for long, these viewers were sharp. They could see that her heart was still pure and kind even by the standards of this world, she was quite a good person. This was why, even though some guessed her world wasn’t peaceful, they didn’t jump to “apocalypse.”

“When I was born, the apocalypse had already existed for many years.” Sheng Xia lowered her eyes. Under the sunlight, her thick eyelashes cast small shadows, adding a touch of nostalgic sorrow.

Sheng Xia was beautiful, often evoking a desire in others to protect her, but the resilience in her features tempered that fragility with a sense of spirited youth. It was rare to see her with such an expression.

There were people in the live stream who had died during the apocalypse and ended up in the underworld, so they naturally understood what that world was like.

No wonder…

Previously, they had been astonished by Sheng Xia’s appetite, wondering how such a small frame could hold so much food. If she came from the apocalypse, it all made sense. Because food was scarce, humans in the post-apocalyptic era had gradually evolved body structures to store energy eating as much as possible when food was available because they never knew when the next meal would be.

When survival is that difficult, education is an afterthought.

Although they were curious how she learned to read and why her handwriting was so beautiful, they didn’t ask, fearing they would bring up a painful memory.

The tone of the comments shifted, no longer probing but becoming cheerful.

Whatever, I never went to school either. If I took that test, I don’t even know if I could get 30 points.

Wooo… actually, I’ve been pretending to understand this whole time. Can we finally start asking about basic knowledge?

Speaking of which, I was actually an excellent teacher when I was alive. Should I start a class? You guys can learn along with Xiao Xia.

!!!

Yes, yes, yes! May good people be safe forever!

No sooner said than done. Seeing that Sheng Xia was interested and it was still early, the live stream turned into a classroom. Some new ghosts entering for the first time were surprised to see a host not trying to sell things, but an entire audience immersed in a sea of learning. They found it interesting and stayed.

Then, five minutes later, half the underworld was asleep. A few semi-conscious ghosts stubbornly typed out a comment: The lecture was great. It felt just like being back in class. Please don’t do it again.

Sheng Xia found it funny. Filled with enthusiasm, she picked up her notebook to continue taking notes. However, she only lasted three minutes longer before she started nodding off.

Good afternoon to everyone listening to a math lecture.

Sheng Xia slept until after 3:00 PM. When Lu Wanxing passed by her room, she noticed the door was open. Looking in, she saw Sheng Xia sleeping so soundly she was drooling, the pen in her hand about to drop.

The weather had been unpredictable lately, and sleeping slumped over like that might lead to a cold. Lu Wanxing tapped lightly on the door to wake her, but seeing Sheng Xia didn’t move, she hesitated before entering.

With a high bridge to her nose and the corners of her lips curved slightly, Sheng Xia seemed to be having a wonderful dream.

The carefree sight made Lu Wanxing chuckle. she reached out to move a test paper on the desk, intending to tuck it away, but her attention was caught by the sea of red crosses covering it. A minute later, her expression turned to one of bewilderment.

Lu Wanxing: “?”

Every single one was wrong???
