After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 37

Chapter 37

“Mom and Dad, this is our tuxedo cat, Niuniu,” Ruan Yu introduced, holding the cat out of the carrier, unperturbed by the Wen elders’ stern gaze. “She’s had all her check-ups and the rabies vaccine. She was bathed a few days ago, and her fur is very clean.”

Small animals are more perceptive than humans. The tuxedo cat quickly sensed the slight hostility from the two Wen elders. Its fine fur stood on end, its back arched in Ruan Yu’s arms, and it let out a low, threatening growl.

“The little thing is quite pleasing to look at, but its temper is a bit fiery,” Mother Wen couldn’t help but comment.

“Cats get like this when they’re in a new environment,” Ruan Yu gently rubbed the cat’s back to soothe it. “Mom, can I take Niuniu to see her new home now?”

“Go ahead, don’t let it get startled,” Mother Wen said gently. “I heard Mrs. He mention that startled pets can be incontinent, which smells strongly and is difficult to clean up. Also, this is a stray cat, a wild one, not yet domesticated. You should be careful not to get scratched.”

Ruan Yu was long used to her feigned concern, which was actually veiled sarcasm. She just obediently agreed, holding the cat and walking toward the door.

Wen Yun was with the butler and maids, moving the cat food, litter, and other supplies gifted by He Sheng into an empty room that had been cleared out next to the gym.

There were simply too many valuable furnishings and luxurious decorations in the living room on the first floor. Wen Yun and Ruan Yu had watched videos about the downsides of cat ownership and were terrified the cat might cause damage, leaving the Wen elders with an excuse to complain. Furthermore, the repair costs for any piece of furniture in the living room were far beyond what they could currently afford.

When Ruan Yu arrived, Wen Yun was still leveling the cat litter. Hearing the faint, familiar footsteps, she quickly turned around and asked worriedly, “Did Mom and Dad give you a hard time?”

She knew the answer to this question was undoubtedly yes.

Father Wen would usually remain silent about such trivial matters, but Mother Wen would definitely seize the opportunity to subtly mock Ruan Yu.

“Just words, it’s no big deal,” Ruan Yu said. She then crouched down, placed the cat in the litter box, and softened her voice. “Good girl, remember to use the restroom here from now on.”

“If they’re using veiled insults, it’s better to talk back,” Wen Yun couldn’t help but remind her. “Who do they think they are looking down on?”

“Since they didn’t explicitly name anyone, I don’t need to eagerly take the bait,” Ruan Yu whispered. “Otherwise, if I let them control my emotions, I’ll be the one suffering.”

It wasn’t that she couldn’t fight back, but at this stage, it wasn’t necessary. Aside from escalating the conflict, she wouldn’t gain any benefit.

This was actually one of the differences between them. She didn’t know Wen Yun’s background but vaguely sensed that her experiences were very different from her own. Some things Ruan Yu cared about, Wen Yun didn’t, or even found bothersome.

She didn’t know how to explain it, so she simply tried to articulate her perspective.

Fortunately, Wen Yun always respected her choices and generally dropped the matter after listening to her explanation.

With a cat added to the household, their already busy lives became even more fulfilling.

Fortunately, though the tuxedo cat was active, it seemed to sense that its current life was hard-won and shouldn’t be ruined. It had been very well-behaved these past few days since coming home. When Wen Yun and Ruan Yu went to see it, they always found it lying on the cat tree by the window, eyes half-closed, lazily basking in the sun.

Due to the high volume of orders during the National Day holiday, the body pillow Wen Yun ordered wasn’t delivered until the 8th.

When the express delivery arrived, Ruan Yu was still catching up on Chemistry. Wen Yun first instructed the butler to wash and sanitize the pillow. By the time the tutor left, the pillow was dry. She happily carried the pillow and her papers and knocked on Ruan Yu’s door.

As Ruan Yu opened the door, a long, plump Shiba Inu came into view, followed by the familiar voice: “Ding! Your body pillow order has been delivered. Please receive it in time!”

She was actually a bit tired from studying. To aim for an A+ grade in her subject exams, the tutor had been giving her challenging practice questions that were mentally taxing, even for her.

But the moment she felt the overflowing goodwill from the person she cared about, her inner fatigue instantly vanished. She couldn’t help but smile and steadily wrapped her arms around the pillow.

“Thank you for the pillow,” she said sincerely. She then moved aside, closing the door as she asked, as usual, “Did you do well on the basic questions today?”

At 11:15 PM, Ruan Yu returned to her room after washing up. Hugging the Shiba Inu body pillow, which emitted a faint scent of lavender laundry detergent, she checked the delivery status of the body pillow she had ordered.

They had bought the pillows on the same day. Since Wen Yun’s had arrived, hers shouldn’t be far behind.

However, when she checked, she found the item was still listed as “unshipped.” Feeling a little anxious, she messaged customer service to ask about the arrival time.

The customer service representative said they had a large volume of packages recently and that it would be shipped in another day or two, asking her not to worry.

Ruan Yu decided to wait. However, she waited for five days! The subject exam date was fast approaching, and the logistics status remained unchanged!

This time, no matter what customer service promised, she insisted on a refund. After getting her money back, she chose the same style from another shop with good sales and many recent positive reviews. After repeatedly confirming that the package would definitely arrive within two days, she placed the order and paid.

The Subject Exams in mid-October arrived quickly. On October 14th, the first session was the History elective. During the morning self-study period, the history teacher came into the classroom and repeatedly emphasized several important exam points. Only when the waiting bell rang did the teacher see the students leave the classroom, each heading to their respective exam hall.

Before leaving the classroom, He Sheng walked up to Ruan Yu’s desk, held out her right hand, and exaggeratedly said, “I’m here to soak up the aura of the study god!”

Ruan Yu laughed and high-fived her. As she watched her skip away, she noticed another person standing at her desk.

“I want to soak it up too,” Wen Yun raised her right hand, shamelessly batting her eyelashes at her. “Study God, give me a boost, help me pass.”

Ruan Yu was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. She high-fived Wen Yun too but reminded her, “You can’t be satisfied with just ‘passing,’ you know.”

“Definitely, definitely!” Wen Yun nodded emphatically, carrying her transparent pencil case out of the classroom.

To accommodate students retaking the subject exams, there were no classes or homework assigned for the three days of exams. Students were left to self-study during non-exam hours, although teachers for the elective subjects would take turns being present to answer questions.

But even with teachers present, the classroom atmosphere was inexplicably restless. Coupled with the frequent rain and low air pressure those days, people were easily agitated.

Wen Yun was easily affected by this atmosphere. Even though she was surrounded by a circle of high-achieving students, they couldn’t pull her out of this mood.

She simply told the class monitor that she was leaving and went straight to the study cafe to revise. She ordered a cup of coffee and sat there all afternoon, her revision efficiency as high as when she used to work in a certain Starbucks in her past life.

Ruan Yu already disliked self-studying in the classroom. When Wen Yun went to the study cafe, she went too. They sat across from each other, and Ruan Yu would occasionally ask Wen Yun for her notes and practice tests to help her check for any overlooked knowledge points.

The first session on the morning of the 15th was Chemistry. Ruan Yu went to her exam hall at 7:30 AM. Since the second session started at 10:30 AM, Wen Yun didn’t go to the study cafe. Instead, she sat in the classroom with headphones on, memorizing key Political Science questions.

She had been diligently revising these days and felt her survival duration was long enough. She had almost entirely stopped using green tea language, and her Tea Value had remained at “0 points” for a long time. The system hadn’t even prompted her.

Whenever Wen Yun was influenced by a restless atmosphere, her thoughts would wander while revising.

While her mind was drifting, she couldn’t help but wonder: once the BE plot of the original novel was over next year, would she be able to unbind from this system and no longer have to use the green tea language she hated most?

But she quickly considered that if she diligently used green tea language and followed the plot, with the advancement of the mall, her survival duration would eventually overflow. The system’s restriction on her wasn’t that significant. If that moment arrived, would there be other restrictions waiting for her?

She also recalled Abbot Huiheng’s advice when they visited the countryside and that one “chance to withdraw.” She had a vague guess but couldn’t confirm it, and the system also stated it was unaware of it.

She finally endured until the third day of the exams. When she took the English exam in the afternoon, a heavy rain poured outside, with the rumbling of thunder continuously penetrating the soundproof glass.

The invigilator had to turn the listening volume up very high. After the listening section, Wen Yun’s head was also buzzing. While working on the subsequent reading comprehension, she couldn’t help but think of the cat at home.

…And the other “cat” who was currently taking an exam.

The original novel clearly stated that Ruan Yu was deathly afraid of thunder because she was kicked out of the Wen house during a thunderstorm. Therefore, when they were at home, Wen Yun would proactively stay by Ruan Yu’s side, keeping her company and finding ways to distract her.

While the important English exam served to distract Ruan Yu now, Wen Yun couldn’t help but worry about Ruan Yu’s state during the test.

Two hours later, the end-of-exam bell rang. As soon as the invigilator announced the end of the exam, Wen Yun grabbed her pencil case and darted out of the classroom, quickly walking toward the other exam hall.

The students slowly emerged, either comparing answers or excitedly discussing the school sports meet in half a month.

Wen Yun walked against the flow of the crowd, observing as she went, until she reached the door of Ruan Yu’s exam hall. She finally saw the girl come out, silently carrying her backpack.

“Are you okay?” Wen Yun quickly went up to her and asked. Seeing her pale face, her heart sank. “Don’t worry, it’s just a thunderstorm today. I checked the weather forecast; it will pass in half an hour at most!”

Ruan Yu responded with an extremely soft acknowledgment. She quickly lowered her head, and the next second, she gripped Wen Yun’s hand.

“I’m afraid of this weather…” she whispered.

She had been extremely anxious, even fearful enough not to want to leave the room at that moment, and certainly didn’t want to be swept away by the crowd, amplifying her sense of loneliness.

But after leaving the exam hall, when she saw that person waiting at the door, the unacknowledged fear and loneliness that had haunted her for two lifetimes instantly dissipated by more than half.

It was at that moment she suddenly realized that every previous thunderstorm seemed to have been accompanied by this person, who was always there for her, whether at home or at school.

Even when a teacher was giving a lesson—this person would proactively greet Su Manying, finding a suitable reason to switch seats in front of her.

Even if Wen Yun didn’t say a word, just sitting close to her, Ruan Yu inexplicably felt a sense of security.
