After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 40

Chapter 40

The screenshots sent by Lin Qiqi originated from two of the female athletes participating in the 3000-meter race for Grade 12, one from Class 4 and one from Class 7. Neither was from a wealthy family.

Perhaps because Lin Qiqi had “warned them” beforehand, both athletes were sensible enough not to reply to the inquiries. Instead, they took screenshots and reported back.

“As of the moment you called me, only these two have sent screenshots,” Lin Qiqi said. “The remaining five athletes haven’t made a move.”

“Is the plot only moving this late?” Wen Yun checked the time stamps on the messages and fell into deep thought. “Could it be that Xiao Yu’s been wearing the protective gear every day during practice, and they noticed something?”

“What could they possibly infer from that?” Lin Qiqi was confused. “They can’t possibly think this is ‘more stationery for a bad student,’ can they? I bet those jealous people have less stamina than Xiao Yu!”

Wen Yun managed to hold back her retort about Lin Qiqi’s unintentional passive villainess trait and said expressionlessly, “Who knows? Some people’s minds work in mysterious ways.”

“That’s true. But what should we do about these two athletes? Should we tell them to agree?” Lin Qiqi asked. “It looks like the other party is well-prepared. What if they refuse, and the other side realizes they’ve been ‘warned’?”

“There are still five unknowns, and none of them are people we know, so you can’t control them,” Wen Yun said. “Tell those two to refuse. If they agree, they’ll be genuinely taking the fall. The others will just post the chat records on an anonymous forum, and the evidence will be irrefutable. Dirty water is never a good thing. Don’t wade into it if you don’t have to.”

Hanging up the voice call, Wen Yun sighed, flipped over in bed, and hugged the long tabby cat body pillow, giving it a comforting rub.

The protagonist halos of other people were all beneficial buffs; only her protagonist’s halo was a malicious debuff.

Fortunately, her protagonist had already lived one life and had the ability to protect herself and respond to danger. She shouldn’t have to worry too much, even if Wen Yun wasn’t by her side during the race.

Despite her thoughts, she immediately sent the situation to Ruan Yu, instructing her to be sure to wear the protective gear and prepare thoroughly for the race tomorrow.

The next morning, at 8:30 AM, the athletic march music began to play. The various grades and classes entered the field in an orderly fashion. After the principal, referees, and student representatives finished their speeches, the parade started.

Langying High allowed creative expression during the sports meet parade, and the teenagers in this age group would never miss this rare opportunity to have fun.

Wen Yun’s class was no exception. After the sports meet date was confirmed, the class monitor collected the class funds, and the entire class purchased HP-style dark green magic cloaks and wands. As they passed the main stage, the whole class raised their wands and recited a classic HP line, drawing a lot of attention.

Ruan Yu hadn’t read the HP series but had heard from Wen Yun that it was a magical adventure story full of passion and hope for teenagers. She waved her wand and recited the lines with even greater effort.

Even Wen Yun couldn’t help but look at her. The girl with the low ponytail moved lightly and gracefully, her wand-waving remarkably serious, her face beaming with a brilliant smile, as if she truly believed in the existence of magic.

After the long opening ceremony, each class moved to its designated area. With the referees, athletes, and broadcasting team in place, the first day of competitions officially began.

Wen Yun hadn’t signed up for any class events and had no interest in the events Ruan Yu participated in, other than the 3000 meters. She brought a Biology test paper, intending to work on the experimental questions to relax.

She had just opened the paper and was about to fill in a few blanks on the culture medium when Ruan Yu gently tapped her shoulder.

“I want to go watch Little He’s archery competition,” Ruan Yu said.

Wen Yun instinctively wanted to blurt out, “Then go ahead,” but she quickly swallowed the words, smoothly put away her test paper, and changed her mind. “Let’s go. It’s starting in a few minutes.”

Before the sports meet ended, she still couldn’t feel comfortable leaving the protagonist alone, even if Ruan Yu was just going to watch a competition.

Furthermore, because she hadn’t used green tea language for a long time, her survival duration was down to only seven days, and she had very few usable props left. Since an opportunity was presenting itself, she definitely had to seize it to earn some Tea Value.

To prevent environmental interference, the archery competition was held inside the gymnasium. Three targets were set up. All registered athletes from Grade 10 to Grade 12 were gathered there, waiting for check-in.

Wen Yun and Ruan Yu quickly found He Sheng, who was dressed in archery gear. Just as they walked up to greet her, they heard her sighing: “Today is clearly an internal battle of the Archery Club!”

“Will the fencing and billiards events also be internal battles?” Ruan Yu asked curiously.

“I think so,” Wen Yun interjected. “The people who are good at these two sports are generally either children from wealthy families or members of the respective clubs.”

“If you’re interested, you can go check out the competition area on the first floor,” He Sheng put on her archery glove and took out her bow and arrow. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the referee call her name, acknowledged it, and scurried over.

Ruan Yu was about to follow when she heard a light tsk from the person next to her. She instinctively turned back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I saw Luo Qin,” Wen Yun said. “Don’t mind her. Let’s go.”

Ruan Yu obediently acknowledged this, but her gaze shifted to the spot Wen Yun had just looked at.

Luo Qin was walking in through the main entrance and was almost beside them now. She was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low. Unless one looked closely, she would be unrecognizable.

Before Luo Qin looked up, Ruan Yu quickly withdrew her gaze and followed Wen Yun toward He Sheng’s competition area.

“That must be the System’s extra feature,” she thought. “Otherwise, how could she recognize someone so clearly from far away?”

Perhaps it was because the possibility that “that person is a transmigrator with a System” was already lodged in her mind, but lately, every time she noticed an unusual incident related to that person, she immediately leaned toward this explanation.

He Sheng usually looked like a lazy chuunibyou, but she was unbelievably serious when shooting arrows. Her eyes fiercely fixed on the target, she drew the bow and nocked an arrow. Ten seconds later, an arrow flew out and hit the bullseye!

Ruan Yu had learned the scoring rules for archery targets and instinctively applauded. Before she could clap a few times, she heard a deliberately suppressed sneer from behind.

“Country bumpkins truly lack experience.”

Hearing this, Wen Yun’s expression instantly darkened. She turned around and saw Luo Qin standing not far away. She couldn’t help but blurt out sarcastically: “Why is someone making pig noises so early in the morning, disturbing the competition?”

“Is my muttering to myself disturbing the competition? Miss Wen is truly too controlling!” Luo Qin retorted without hesitation. “I said ‘country bumpkin,’ are you one?”

“…” Wen Yun really didn’t understand the self-defeating provocation of these malicious side characters, who always had to be sarcastic. But in order to exchange for survival duration, she took the bait. “But I was also complaining about the person who was making pig noises just now. I genuinely didn’t mean to accidentally offend their kind, I’m terribly sorry, student Luo.”

The moment the words left her mouth, she heard Ruan Yu give a soft giggle. Then, she heard the gentle thud of an arrow hitting the target.

Luo Qin was still scrambling for a comeback when she heard Ruan Yu’s sound and immediately flared up: “What are you laughing at?!”

“Xiao Yu is happy for Little He, of course!” Wen Yun immediately cut in. “So fast, another…”

She looked at the target as she spoke, realized this one didn’t hit the bullseye but was close, and instantly changed her words: “…a very technically skillful high score!”

The archery competition was an elimination format: 16 athletes were reduced to 8 in the first round, then 4 in the second, followed by a one-on-one final.

He Sheng fought her way into the finals and won the championship. Wen Yun and Luo Qin also bickered all the way until the finals, arguing from the competition area to the stands, successfully racking up 20 points of Tea Value.

After the archery results were announced, Luo Qin suddenly backed down. She sneered, pulled her cap lower, muttered “You green tea bitch,” and turned to walk toward a Grade 11 boy who had won second place. Suddenly, a furious shout came from behind: “Who the hell are you calling that?!”

Wen Yun, who had been enduring the nausea of the green tea battle with the malicious side character to exchange for survival props, was already annoyed. Being called that insulting word was the last straw. She immediately snapped, reaching out to drag Luo Qin back for a confrontation. But someone beat her to it.

With a sharp smack, the next second, Wen Yun saw Luo Qin frozen in place, clutching her face.

“Have you said enough?”

The soft, gentle voice reached her ears. The girl blocked her way, but the words she spoke immediately shattered her good student persona: “She who provokes is base; beat her without regret.”

On the way to the Dean’s office, Wen Yun felt that Ruan Yu’s slap and those words had probably been bottled up for too long.

Ruan Yu had done nothing wrong, yet simply because she was a transfer student from the countryside and wasn’t given the “Wen” surname, she was looked down upon and pointed at by certain wealthy children wherever she went.

While Luo Qin’s behavior was likely just a trigger, Wen Yun truly hadn’t expected Ruan Yu to stand up for her at this moment.

The Dean of Students was the old teacher known as “Old Headmistress Mo” by the students. She was completely astonished to see her most valued top student resorting to physical violence.

“Why did you hit her?” she asked Ruan Yu.

“It was one thing when she called me a country bumpkin, but she also called my most important family member a ‘green tea bitch,'” Ruan Yu calmly explained, with no intention of hiding anything. “I decided I couldn’t just let it go.”

“I only spoke a few truths. Was that necessary?” Luo Qin, with half of her face swollen, still didn’t forget to be sarcastic. “Are you made of glass? Can’t even handle the truth?”

“Luo Qin, have you said enough?” Teacher Mo reprimanded her unhappily. “Did Elder Luo spend so much money to send you to Langying just so you could learn new ways to offend people?”

Only when her family elder was mentioned did Luo Qin close her mouth, pull her cap lower, and let out a heavy huff.

Teacher Mo then looked at Ruan Yu: “Regardless, striking someone is a violation of school rules. Moreover, so many people were watching. According to the rules, a disciplinary record must be filed.”

“Yes, I accept that,” Ruan Yu nodded obediently, returning to her usual gentle state.

Luo Qin’s face needed to be treated for the swelling. The Grade 11 boy who accompanied her quickly pushed her out of the office, not daring to look back.

Once they left, Teacher Mo sighed lightly and said to Ruan Yu, “I will report the situation truthfully. Write a statement of apology and submit it to me within the next two days. The disciplinary record will be removed next semester.”

“Thank you,” Ruan Yu bowed to her and turned to leave with Wen Yun.

However, Teacher Mo added: “As you become more outstanding, the degrading words spoken by those shortsighted people will only increase and become nastier. Just keep your head up and move forward. Don’t take them to heart.”
