After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 52
Chapter 52
Wen Yun was stunned by the information overload in those few sentences for a long time before she remembered to flip back to the previous pages.
The preceding content turned out to be a normal diary, completely different in style from this entry. Wen Yun flipped further back, but there was nothing more written.
“Could the original host have also been a reborn person?” Wen Yun wondered. “But she only relived for less than half a day and was then ‘judged’? And then what? Where did she go?”
Her experience reading transmigration novels told her that the original host’s whereabouts might be connected to whether she could remain in this world. So, she called out the System and asked about the current state of the original host’s soul.
“I’m sorry, Host, this System cannot detect the existence of the original host,” the System replied.
“Then what about the content in this diary?” Wen Yun turned to the last page with writing. “I absolutely did not write this. I didn’t even know this notebook existed!”
It was strange. The original host’s memories that she inherited truly didn’t mention a diary. Could it be that the “God” who “judged” the original host erased all memories related to the diary?
“This… this System doesn’t know either,” the System’s voice sounded slightly confused. “But I can confirm that these are definitely not the words written by the Host.”
The mystery surrounding the original host’s writings remained unsolved even after Ruan Yu’s disciplinary record was revoked and Wen Yun and she successfully submitted their “Trinity Admissions” application materials.
The diary left by the original host was locked away in Wen Yun’s drawer. To avoid triggering the spatial-temporal rules that the System repeatedly warned about, she temporarily chose to keep the diary a secret from Ruan Yu.
The day before the “Trinity Admissions” exam, they asked the housekeeper to look after the cat, took leave from school, and boarded a plane to C City.
Excluding delays, the flight from Z City to C City usually took only two hours, but Ruan Yu had never flown before and felt somewhat nervous while waiting in the boarding lounge after security check.
“Don’t be nervous. We’ll be flying this route often in the future,” Wen Yun, a frequent business traveler, comforted her. “It’s just the take-off and landing where your ears will feel uncomfortable, buzzing, like something’s clogged, a bit like being underwater. But once we’re cruising, you’ll be fine. You can even catch up on sleep.”
“I won’t sleep,” Ruan Yu fiddled with her boarding pass. “It’s my first time on a plane. I want to take some pictures.”
“Go ahead and take pictures,” Wen Yun nodded repeatedly. “Your seat is right by the window, so snap away! But phones must have the signal turned off on the plane. If you’re afraid of being bored, you can cache some videos or novels in advance.”
Ruan Yu agreed and obediently cached some Yuri anime series and films she hadn’t finished watching, just as Wen Yun instructed.
She had only downloaded enough for two hours, but the flight was delayed by half an hour, so she simply put in her headphones, watched, and kept caching content, treating it as a way to pass the time.
Wen Yun was merely curious and glanced at her screen, but Ruan Yu immediately forced an earphone onto her. “You watch too.”
“…” After watching for a while, Wen Yun finally understood who had opened up this new world for the innocent protagonist!
“You are not allowed to learn anything from virtual media!” She quickly warned Ruan Yu.
“Why?” Ruan Yu turned her head, looking at her in confusion.
“Because the virtual world is an idealized reality. Many things are possible in the virtual world that aren’t possible in reality,” Wen Yun sternly told her for once. “For example, a certain indescribable medicine, or, for example, blushing violently from just a hug…”
“But it is possible in reality!” Ruan Yu interrupted, blinking blankly. “I tried it. Your reaction was very honest.”
Wen Yun: “…”
She couldn’t remember when she had embarrassed herself without realizing it, but Ruan Yu’s words were enough to make her blush involuntarily.
When the plane arrived in C City, it was nearly 3 PM.
Wen Yun was on the phone with the pre-arranged driver, giving her the name of the hotel they had booked while pulling Ruan Yu’s suitcase toward the airport exit.
The weather after the start of spring was inevitably subject to a few “late winter cold spells.” The cold wind made her shrink her neck. After settling the meeting point with the driver, she hung up and asked Ruan Yu, “Are you cold? If you are, we can wait for the car somewhere else.”
“No, I’m fine, I’m not cold,” Ruan Yu shook her head, then naturally placed her hands on the backs of Wen Yun’s hands. “My hands are still warm.”
After checking into the hotel and putting down their luggage, the two quickly ate a little something and immediately rushed to the examination venue to check the location.
The C-Finance campus was enormous, with a slightly European architectural style and many similar-looking domed buildings. If it weren’t for the detailed map provided in the small student group Wen Lu had shared, Wen Yun felt they would definitely get lost.
They rented bicycles at the campus entrance. Halfway through their ride, classes ended, and groups of students poured out of the academic buildings. They quickly blended into the crowd, riding against the flow.
“I’m so envious of them!” Wen Yun couldn’t help but sigh.
The four years of university are probably the freest period of a person’s adulthood. During this time, as long as they weren’t strictly controlled by elders or teachers, they could pursue any interest or hobby, dare to do many things, love whoever they wanted, and travel across the country with a few friends.
“We will soon be the ones the next batch will envy,” Ruan Yu interjected.
Their examination venue had already been cleared out. A few student volunteers were finishing up, chatting while waiting for their teacher to announce their dismissal. Seeing them, they enthusiastically came over to greet them.
“Are you new prospective students?”
“Which major are you planning to apply for?”
“Language and Literature is actually considered a less popular major here, but if you can endure the solitude and want to specialize, the future is bright.”
“The Finance department has several handsome and well-to-do seniors who show up at the Freshman Gala and student union recruitment! If you have any talents, remember to show them off!”
The two girls politely answered, but regarding the last sentence, before Ruan Yu could speak, Wen Yun apologized to the senior: “I’m sorry, senior, we both already have partners.”
The senior was instantly shocked. She was about to say something when her friend pulled her away.
“Then I wish you both and your partners can get accepted here!” The senior who pulled her friend away smiled brightly.
By the time they finished the campus visit and returned to the hotel, it was already dark.
While Wen Yun was showering, Ruan Yu was still watching the cached anime. Hearing the water stop, she put down her phone and quietly approached, tapping lightly on the translucent glass wall.
“What is it?” Wen Yun asked.
“In the future, for our apartment… can we find one with a glass shower like this?” Ruan Yu whispered. As soon as she finished speaking, her face flushed.
Wen Yun nearly slipped in the bathroom. She silently blamed He Sheng for recommending the Yuri dramas to the protagonist, cleared her throat, and said, “We can, but they might not be readily available in the area. You like this kind?”
“It’s… not exactly that I like it,” Ruan Yu’s voice was even softer. “I just think it’s hazy and might look more beautiful.”
“Don’t let TV dramas fool you!” Wen Yun scoffed. “It’s only pretty to look at, and you can’t touch the person—it’s boring.”
Ruan Yu didn’t quite understand what she meant and responded with a slight displeasure.
However, after she had finished washing up and sat on the large bed, looking at the person right next to her, a light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly understood.
Due to their usual sleeping habit, Wen Yun still held the girl in her arms as they fell asleep that night.
In the middle of the night, however, she woke up feeling hot. She heard the girl murmuring in her sleep, sticking to her like an octopus, completely wrapped around her.
As an adult soul, Wen Yun immediately understood what was going on when she turned on the light. She sighed helplessly, reached out to turn on the room’s air conditioning, adjusted it to a temperature that wouldn’t freeze them, and then turned off the light and went back to sleep.
No one mentioned the incident the next day. They washed up and prepared for the exam.
The night they finished the “Trinity Admissions” exam and returned to the old residence in Z-City, Ruan Yu, as usual, leaned down close to Wen Yun’s ear before turning off the light, whispering with her breath against Wen Yun’s skin: “I had that dream again that day.”
Wen Yun immediately felt her ear tingle. She feigned anger and gently nudged Ruan Yu away. “Don’t bring that up again before graduation! I’m not giving you a chance!”
The girl smiled, turned off the light, and lay down beside her, obediently doing nothing else.
The date for the April subject selection exam arrived quickly. All procedures were the same as last October, but the three days were relatively relaxed since the English test was omitted.
Right after the selection exams ended, someone tore up their subject books and review materials, scattering them all over the corridor in delight. They were subsequently called into the Dean’s office for a severe reprimand: “This is only the end of one phase, and you’re already jumping up and down with excitement! Did you get over 140 in Chinese, Math, and English already?!”
The time for class division arrived shortly after. Unsurprisingly, Ruan Yu was assigned to the Elite Stream, along with Lin Qiqi and Su Manying.
Fortunately, the independently sectioned Elite Stream classroom was closest to Class Nine. After class, Wen Yun often used bathroom breaks as an excuse to go find Ruan Yu in the Elite Stream. Every time she went, she either found her quietly working on math problems or flipping through the thick textbook of essential vocabulary for the English Grade 6 exam.
—She was already preparing for the university English curriculum.
“Are you adapting to the new environment?” Wen Yun asked after coming home a few days later.
“I’m adapting,” Ruan Yu nodded. “However, Su Manying suddenly distanced herself from me after the class division. She actively moved her seat far away from me and doesn’t come to talk to me anymore. We used to be front and back neighbors, but she always initiated conversations with me.”
Wen Yun remembered that Su Manying was Ruan Yu’s only friend in the original novel. Although Su Manying had chosen to stay away from Ruan Yu then because of various negative rumors, the people spreading rumors this time should have been warned and dealt with. Why was a similar trend emerging?
“Who is she spending the most time with now?” Wen Yun asked.
Ruan Yu thought seriously. “It seems like she’s close to Shao Qibin, but Shao Qibin’s grades are at the bottom of the Elite Stream…”
“Oh, Young Master Shao,” Wen Yun understood. “She’s probably in a relationship. As for distancing herself from you… I’m afraid she’s worried that you’ll distract Young Master Shao’s attention.”
“Why would I distract his attention?” Ruan Yu didn’t understand. “We’ve already publicly come out!”
“We’re not married yet, and we haven’t announced our permanent separation from the Wen family,” Wen Yun spread her hands. “Wealthy families who are determined to form an alliance with the Wen family will still keep us in their consideration plans.”
She paused, then reminded her: “Since Su Manying has made her choice, don’t be sad about it. Just focus on your revision. If anything happens, you still have Qiqi, don’t you?”
The facts had proven to them more than once that Su Manying was neither a reliable nor a loyal friend.
Lin Qiqi didn’t know about this, and Ruan Yu didn’t plan to tell her, fearing she would get angry and seek out Su Manying for an argument. She simply quietly increased her daily communication with Lin Qiqi and gradually became willing to go to the book café or the restroom with Lin Qiqi alone, even when Wen Yun wasn’t around.
Amidst the cyclical review of the three major college entrance exam subjects—Chinese, Math, and English—the acceptance list for C-Finance’s “Trinity Admissions” was finally announced.
