After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

“How about we go to the infirmary?”

Leaving the office, Wen Yun suggested worriedly. “There are a lot of bacteria under fingernails. It’s drawn blood, so it needs to be disinfected!”

Ruan Yu glanced at her arm but didn’t refuse: “Please take me.”

She had slapped Luo Qin and made a fierce declaration. Luo Qin was not a good-tempered person. When she came to her senses, she instantly flared up, rushing forward and scratching wildly, shouting as she did: “You’re the base one! Your whole family is base! Shameless! Climbing your way into a rich family!”

By the time the rushed-over Grade 11 student and Wen Yun managed to pull the frenzied Luo Qin away, Ruan Yu’s arm already bore several claw marks.

On the way to the infirmary, Ruan Yu took the hand of the person beside her, feeling a little guilty.

She hadn’t told Wen Yun that the injuries were evidence she had deliberately allowed to be inflicted. This way, Luo Qin would also be given disciplinary action for fighting and causing injury.

Although the disciplinary records would be collectively revoked next semester, forcing Luo Qin to keep a record for a semester was somewhat satisfying.

They walked in silence, neither speaking again.

Wen Yun, “well-read” in all kinds of melodramatic web novels, vaguely sensed that the special dark side of a reborn person seemed to be awakening in the girl’s character.

For a moment, she suddenly realized she was holding a hot potato, and she felt a wave of panic.

But she quickly decided that she shouldn’t assume such a negative trajectory for Ruan Yu’s development.

Moreover, she already considered Ruan Yu family. Even if Ruan Yu were to truly turn dark later, she would try her best to guide her out of the darkness and show her that the world wasn’t entirely made of despair and malice.

Wen Yun was already thinking about how to handle Luo Qin, who would likely be in the infirmary having her swelling treated, when her phone in her bag suddenly rang.

She pulled out her phone and saw it was He Sheng. She quickly answered: “What’s up?”

“Hurry to the classroom! I’ve got hydrogen peroxide!” He Sheng said.

Ruan Yu’s injuries weren’t deep, but she couldn’t help but hiss when the hydrogen peroxide was poured onto them.

“It’ll be over soon! Just bear with it a little!” Wen Yun quickly soothed her, pulling out a small fan to cool the wounds.

He Sheng was very experienced in treating minor injuries. She finished the disinfection quickly, put away the hydrogen peroxide, and reminded them: “It should scab over in about two or three days. Try not to let it touch water before it scabs!”

“But Xiao Yu has the 3000-meter race tomorrow morning, and she’s definitely going to sweat while running,” Wen Yun frowned.

“Stick a waterproof bandage on it before the run,” He Sheng rummaged through her small first-aid kit, took out a few bandages, and handed them to Ruan Yu. “Just disinfect it again after the race. Minor injuries won’t be a big problem.”

After this incident, Wen Yun thought Ruan Yu would choose to stay in the classroom. Instead, Ruan Yu put away the bandages and invited her to go watch other competitions.

They spent the entire day running between various competition venues. During the lunch break, Ruan Yu even found time to write over thirty broadcast scripts, all signed at the bottom as “Submission from Grade 12 (9).” She gave half to the class monitor and half to the sports representative.

Even though one knows they should move forward and look ahead, when given a chance to start over, who wouldn’t want to make up for past regrets?

The news of Ruan Yu’s disciplinary action quickly reached the Wen elders. The atmosphere at the dinner table that evening was exceptionally tense. After dinner, Father Wen even called Ruan Yu to his study and lectured her for a long time.

“Dad isn’t actually against me suppressing the Luo family; after all, they are rivals of the Wen family,” Ruan Yu told Wen Yun while she was studying Math. “He lectured me because he thinks these petty skirmishes are meaningless. Not only do they fail to shake the other party’s foundation, but they also damage my own and the Wen family’s reputation, and they invite hatred and retaliation.”

Wen Yun thought about it. “Do you think Dad has a point?”

“He does have a point. I was indeed immature and rash,” Ruan Yu said softly. “But I also think what you said before makes sense.”

“What did I say?”

“Sometimes, it’s better to fight back,” Ruan Yu said.

“…” Wen Yun was afraid her temper would corrupt the protagonist, so she quickly analyzed the pros, cons, and appropriate situations for Ruan Yu. Seeing the girl grow increasingly confused as she listened, she finally sighed: “Forget it. You’ll understand yourself in a few more years.”

The next morning, at 8:30 AM, the Grade 12 women’s 3000-meter race began as scheduled.

Ruan Yu followed Wen Yun’s instructions and was fully equipped with protective gear before the race. As she walked onto the track, she immediately attracted many curious eyes.

“That senior is wearing so much protective gear. She looks really professional. Is she on the school team?”

“I’ve never seen her on the school team!”

“Look at her long legs! I’m jealous!!”

Although it was already autumn and the morning temperature was low, Ruan Yu still wore athletic shorts and a T-shirt for ease of movement. The healing scratches on her arms were a shocking sight, but she didn’t seem to care.

While she warmed up, Wen Yun deliberately walked down from the stands to the edge of the track and looked down to message Lin Qiqi: “Is the drone in position?”

“In position!” Lin Qiqi instantly replied. “Don’t worry! The person I hired is a master at controlling the drone. The battery is fully charged. I guarantee it can follow XiaoY u the entire time without interfering with her race!”

To be safe, Wen Yun decided to monitor the 3000-meter race the whole time. That way, if anything happened, they could check the details using the drone footage.

One minute later, eight athletes were in position on their respective lanes. The drone supported by Lin Qiqi was also on standby on the green field near the track.

As the starting pistol fired, the athletes dashed off.

Wen Yun instantly gripped her phone tightly.

Although she didn’t care about the ranking, seeing that out of eight athletes, Ruan Yu was running the slowest, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

However, she had experienced many sports meets and knew that the 3000 meters was a test of endurance. Sprinting at the very beginning made it difficult to maintain speed.

Langying’s track was 300 meters per lap, so 3000 meters was ten laps. By the fifth lap, most of the athletes’ speeds began to drop, and they looked exhausted. Only Ruan Yu maintained the same pace and condition as when she started; even her complexion hadn’t changed.

She steadily overtook one athlete after another. By the eighth lap, there were only three people left at the front. The remaining athletes lagged far behind, panting heavily.

Every time she ran past, Wen Yun yelled “Go!” at the top of her lungs. The tenth lap was no exception. After yelling, she even ran alongside the track on the outside.

There was only one athlete from Class 7 left, running neck and neck with Ruan Yu! And she was one of the five “unknowns” who hadn’t replied to Lin Qiqi!

As Wen Yun ran alongside, the drone buzzed in the inner field.

With the finish line just a hundred meters away, Ruan Yu suddenly increased her speed. With long strides, she overtook the Class 7 athlete who had been ahead of her for so long within seconds!

The Class 7 athlete’s face was pale and slick with sweat. Seeing this, her eyes flashed, and she gritted her teeth, accelerating to follow.

Just as she closed the gap to one meter from Ruan Yu, she suddenly changed direction, seemingly losing her balance and colliding with Ruan Yu!

In a flash, Ruan Yu quickly tapped her toe on the ground and dodged the collision with a remarkably agile move. She then accelerated again, crossing the finish line amidst the cheers and gasps of the crowd!

Witnessing the scene, Wen Yun’s heart finally settled. She quickly ran to the finish line, supported Ruan Yu, and fanned her while offering water.

Ruan Yu was breathing heavily. Her eyes looked towards the Class 7 athlete who had fallen and was being helped up by a volunteer. She felt genuinely sorry for her.

If the athlete hadn’t obeyed those people, she could have smoothly won the honor of second place.

Lin Qiqi was also frightened by the near-disaster. She instructed the person she hired to fly the drone away and rushed over to check on Ruan Yu.

“I twisted my ankle slightly,” Ruan Yu didn’t hide it. “It’s not as bad as hers.”

“Oh, my dear Xiao Yu! What time is it now? You’re still worrying about the person who tried to hurt you?!” Lin Qiqi deliberately raised her voice, causing the surrounding students and teachers to look over in surprise. “People who know better will think she accidentally twisted her ankle and lost her way. People who don’t will think she’s a sore loser who wanted to frame you after losing the championship!”

Deliberately interfering with other athletes by touching them during a race was a serious offense. Coupled with Lin Qiqi’s commentary on the field, many students heard the “inside story.” That afternoon, the arbitration committee called both Ruan Yu and the Class 7 athlete in to try and determine the truth.

The Class 7 athlete, however, firmly insisted that she acted alone and was not instigated by anyone else. No matter how the committee questioned her, she wouldn’t change her story.

“Yes, I was just angry that a mere transfer student stole the championship, so I decided to bring us both down,” the Class 7 athlete stated firmly.

“Student Yi Zhaodi, while our Langying is called an ‘aristocratic school,’ we are not an evil force, and we will not tolerate malicious acts!” the committee teacher warned solemnly. “If you were threatened by students with powerful backgrounds, please do not hide it from us!”

“I am not hiding anything,” Yi Zhaodi shook her head.

“The nature of the incident changes the disciplinary action you will face,” the committee teacher said.

“It’s not necessary. Just rule as you should, according to the school regulations,” Yi Zhaodi shook her head again, her voice calm. “I have no complaints, teacher. Please don’t worry.”

The committee teacher had no choice but to drop the matter and issue a disciplinary warning to her according to school regulations.

But shortly after leaving the committee room, Lin Qiqi couldn’t help but grab Yi Zhaodi’s uniform and angrily question her: “How much did those people give you? I already warned you that I don’t care about the ranking in this race—if you want to win, go ahead! But if anything happened to Xiao Yu, I would hold you responsible!”

Yi Zhaodi didn’t say a word, only looking at Ruan Yu.

Wen Yun quickly pulled Lin Qiqi away. “Stop it. If she doesn’t want to talk, there must be a reason. Don’t let your emotions take over!”

“If there’s a reason, shouldn’t we find out what it is!” Lin Qiqi was furious. “Whose family could possibly have more power than ours? They literally attacked her, and you expect me not to be emotional?!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Zhaodi sighed self-deprecatingly: “Miss Lin, all I can say is that my jealousy and envy towards Ruan Yu are genuine. Even if someone did instigate me, the choice to act was my own. At my core, I’m one of them, and of course, I wouldn’t betray my companions over one or two threats. Don’t you understand such a simple principle?”

“But Miss Lin, your threat about expulsion—that won’t work in a place like Langying, which cracks down on malicious acts, will it?”

“You!” Lin Qiqi was overcome with anger and reached out to grab her uniform again, but this time Ruan Yu stopped her.

“Don’t worry about the grasshopper after autumn,” the girl gently shook her head. “The road ahead is long. We are neither Bodhisattvas nor judges. We must respect the fate of others and let go of the urge to help.”
