The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 36

Ji Mingxiao has never believed in sweet talk. You can’t coax her, though she’d be happy if Xi Ruan was willing to try.

She’s not short on money, and even if she was, she wouldn’t be swayed by it.

From a young age, she’s been very independent, telling herself that relying on herself is the only sure thing and she would never hand her destiny over to someone else.

Most importantly, she can distinguish between what is real and what is not.

She can treat the people in that world as real and interact with them, but she won’t let herself fall into illusion.

System A didn’t say anything more. It has seen countless clear-headed hosts who eventually fell deep into their roles, and it only hopes Ji Mingxiao won’t do anything she’ll regret.

“Let’s begin the transfer,” Ji Mingxiao said.

This time, when she opened her eyes, her vision was filled with white.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, and she looked around.

This was the school infirmary.

This story is set in a peaceful interstellar nation, though a “nation” at this time is not a single piece of land on one planet but a country made up of hundreds of planets.

In this world, she is Lin Yuan, a sophomore at the Imperial Capital University, majoring in solo combat. The Lin family has been in the military for generations, and her parents are both active-duty soldiers.

Because of this background, she is one of the few students in the entire school who has a custom mecha.

The “scumbag” is named Xue Qingran. She is also a student in the same year, but while Lin Yuan is in Class One, Xue Qingran is in Class Two.

Compared to Lin Yuan’s prominent family background, Xue Qingran’s family is much more ordinary.

The two started dating during the first semester of their freshman year and stayed together until they graduated in their senior year. They rarely argued, as Xue Qingran always gave in to Lin Yuan, and that’s how Lin Yuan slowly fell for her.

Xue Qingran was very good at faking it, so much so that the Lin family, who originally didn’t like her much, began to see her in a new light. They gave her a lot of resources and helped her get into a good unit. She used the Lin family’s connections to climb to a high position, and then, during a joint mission, she took Lin Yuan’s life.

With the Lin family’s only daughter gone, they treated Xue Qingran like a second daughter.

Xue Qingran continued to exploit the Lin family’s resources. Later, to achieve an even higher status, she framed the Lin family, causing their downfall.

Ji Mingxiao propped herself up and sat on the bed, her expression a little cold.

Solo combat major.

This major sounds like it requires intense physical activity.

“System, can I change majors?”

“It’s best not to. Although, I do think you’re more suited for the command major.”

Ji Mingxiao rubbed her leg and got out of bed. The reason she was in the infirmary was that she had fainted from exhaustion.

She fainted because the training was too tiring.

Just hearing that made Ji Mingxiao feel terrified.

She slowly walked out, holding onto the door. She happened to run into Xue Qingran, who had come to see her.

They looked at each other.

“Why are you out?” Xue Qingran frowned. “Shouldn’t you rest a little longer?”

“I don’t want to rest anymore. It’s a bit stuffy in there,” Ji Mingxiao rubbed her temple. “I’m fine.”

“Why did you suddenly faint?”

“I was too tired.”

“You push yourself too hard.” Xue Qingran’s expression was still worried. “Your body isn’t suited for this kind of high-intensity training. You should talk to your family about it. Your parents would understand.”

Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xue Qingran and shook her head. “I can’t let them down.”

Xue Qingran would often try to convince Lin Yuan that she wasn’t cut out for the solo combat major. In the end, the spot in the military unit that Xue Qingran took was originally meant for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan wasn’t actually bad at all, but the long-term self-doubt and negative psychological suggestions made her truly falter.

Ji Mingxiao gently pushed away the hand Xue Qingran was using to support her. “I need to become stronger.”

“This is too much for you.”

Ji Mingxiao looked at Xue Qingran, her expression a little sad, but inside, she rolled her eyes impatiently. “Why do you always say I can’t do it? Why can’t you just encourage me?”

“If you’re set on it, I’ll support you, of course. I just hope you don’t overdo it. You have me, you know.”

Ji Mingxiao pursed her lips. “I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

Since the last world, Ji Mingxiao had perfectly mastered the art of being pitiful and acting spoiled. Playing the innocent, fragile character was pretty easy to do.
