I Fall Every Time I Meet an Alpha [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 21
During the long break, Zhong Xiaoxiao suddenly had a stomachache.
She hurried to the restroom.
The restroom here was quite luxurious, comparable to a five-star hotel, something unimaginable in an ordinary school. Borrowing the female lead’s body, Zhong Xiaoxiao was enjoying a dreamlike life.
At the moment, she was sitting on a gold-trimmed toilet, comfortably relieving herself.
This was also the first time Zhong Xiaoxiao had used the school restroom for such business, finally giving her a chance to properly admire it. Though the stall wasn’t very spacious, it was exquisitely designed. Everything sparkled, making it look incredibly comfortable.
Just as Zhong Xiaoxiao was marveling at this lavish restroom, a bucket of water suddenly poured down from above, splashing all over her and sending a shiver down her spine.
At first, she was stunned. She looked up in bewilderment before quickly realizing what had happened. “What the hell?! Who did this?! Who the hell is messing with me?!”
Cursing furiously, Zhong Xiaoxiao scrambled to wipe herself, looking utterly disheveled. The cold water had drenched half her hair and clothes, leaving her freezing. Her stomach was still acting up, but none of that mattered now, Zhong Xiaoxiao just wanted to step out and destroy the world.
“Zhong Xiaoxiao?” Meng Yuqing’s voice rang out like thunder from outside.
The moment Zhong Xiaoxiao heard it, she exploded. She slammed the door open and stormed out of the stall, her hair dripping wet. The second she saw Meng Yuqing, her eyes burned with rage.
Meng Yuqing stood right outside her stall, a bucket at her feet, the truth was glaringly obvious.
The villainess! It was the villainess, just as ruthless as ever!
Furious, Zhong Xiaoxiao charged forward and shoved Meng Yuqing hard, yelling, “Are you insane?! Huh?! Why the hell did you dump water on me? Do you have a grudge against me?!”
Damn you, Meng Yuqing! I’ll kill you!
Zhong Xiaoxiao was so angry she felt like her soul might leave her body. Her true self wanted to tear free from this flesh and beat Meng Yuqing senseless.
Meng Yuqing wanted to explain, but the system spoke up: Let her misunderstand. You’re the villainess, after all.
Swallowing her words, Meng Yuqing instead said, “Zhong Xiaoxiao, can you calm down?”
“Calm down? Hahaha! That’s hilarious!” Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t care about the onlookers. She picked up the bucket, filled it with water, and flung it straight at Meng Yuqing. “Let’s see if you can stay calm!”
Meng Yuqing dodged, and the water missed her instead, it splashed onto two girls who had been watching nearby.
“Ah!” The two girls shrieked. Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoxiao’s anger finally dissipated like the water she had thrown, only to be replaced by guilt for hurting innocent bystanders.
“What’s wrong with you?!” the two girls snapped at her, furious.
Facing their anger, Zhong Xiaoxiao pointed at the perfectly dry Meng Yuqing and retorted stubbornly, “I was aiming for her, not you! Why’d you stand behind her?!”
Her words were still laced with fury. Her small frame was like an overinflated balloon, ready to burst at the slightest touch. The girls didn’t dare provoke her further and could only resign themselves to bad luck.
Those who had finished using the restroom gradually dispersed, while others avoided the area entirely due to the fight. In the end, only Meng Yuqing and Zhong Xiaoxiao remained, locked in a standoff.
Zhong Xiaoxiao shot Meng Yuqing a fierce glare before turning to leave.
“Wait,” Meng Yuqing suddenly called out to her.
“What?” Zhong Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks, answering irritably.
“You’re just going to walk out like that?” Meng Yuqing reminded her.
Only then did Zhong Xiaoxiao look down at herself. The thin, transparent fabric clung tightly to her skin after getting wet, making her bra clearly visible. Seeing how exposed she was, a shiver ran down her spine.
Damn it! How can I go out like this?!
Instinctively, Zhong Xiaoxiao grabbed the wet clothes and wrung them, but they remained wrinkled and still see-through after releasing.
Meng Yuqing stepped forward and said, “I have a spare school uniform. I’ll get it for you.”
“Meng Yuqing, why are you pretending to be nice now?” Zhong Xiaoxiao scoffed, showing no appreciation for her kindness. “Slap me first, then offer candy?”
“Zhong Xiaoxiao, didn’t you already decide I’m the villainess?” Meng Yuqing looked at her mockingly. “Shouldn’t the villainess just keep being evil?”
“You!” Zhong Xiaoxiao glared, her mind racing. Damn, she actually has a point, I can’t even argue back!
“So, do you want it or not?” Meng Yuqing glanced at her exposed areas. Zhong Xiaoxiao felt like she was being harassed and angrily covered herself. “Meng Yuqing, you better not mess with me, or we’ll both go down together!”
Hearing that she was willing to accept help, Meng Yuqing didn’t mind her threats and simply smiled faintly. “Wait here.”
Zhong Xiaoxiao had no choice but to wait, even as the class bell rang.
The wait felt endless, and she had already cursed Meng Yuqing a thousand times in her head.
When Meng Yuqing stepped out of the restroom, she realized it would be harder to avoid attention outside. She had to wait until the bell rang and everyone was in class before telling the system: Give me a spare uniform.
System 666: Why help the female lead again?
Meng Yuqing: Should I just leave her stuck in the restroom?
System 666: You should tell the male lead and let him play the hero.
Meng Yuqing: Class has started, and the teacher’s already in. Making a big scene isn’t a good idea.
System 666: This makes your character inconsistent hurting her one moment, helping her the next. The female lead will get suspicious.
Meng Yuqing: No time for that. Just give me the spare uniform.
System 666: …
Reluctantly, the system retrieved a neatly folded girls’ uniform from its space.
Meng Yuqing reappeared in the restroom holding the uniform, just in time to hear Zhong Xiaoxiao sneeze several times.
“Here, change into this,” Meng Yuqing handed her the uniform.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was still furious, but with class already in session, now wasn’t the time for anger. She took the uniform and went to change.
