The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 74

“But I really don’t want to eat.” Ji Mingxiao frowned at Jian Huanhuan. She wasn’t interested in playing games with her. Before, she had to play along with Xue Qingran because there was someone behind her, but Jian Huanhuan was just a romantic entanglement.

She looked at Jian Huanhuan with only one thought in her mind.

She had to turn the tables.

Jian Huanhuan frowned at Ji Mingxiao: “You’re not being obedient again.”

“Go back to your class.”

Jian Huanhuan was about to speak again, but Ji Mingxiao was a little faster.

“Do you not love me anymore?”

“I’m very uncomfortable right now and just want to lie down, but you’re forcing me to get up and eat. I’m not hungry at all. If I eat now, I feel like I’ll throw up later.”

“Why are you forcing your will on me?” Ji Mingxiao’s tone became much heavier.

Ji Mingxiao lay back down: “I’m going to sleep now. Can you please go out, turn off the light, and go back to your class? I didn’t call you because I didn’t want you to worry.”

Jian Huanhuan keenly felt that something was different. She looked at the figure on the top bunk with their back to her, frowning. She had clearly controlled the other person very well over the past year and a half.

Normally, as soon as she frowned, Chu Qing would do as she was told.

It had never been like this before.

Jian Huanhuan didn’t say anything more and left Ji Mingxiao’s dorm, not forgetting to take the congee with her, of course.

Ji Mingxiao rolled her eyes at the wall in exasperation.

System A felt that if things continued this way, Ji Mingxiao would get into a fight with someone soon.

The next morning, Ji Mingxiao got up at six o’clock and went to the track to exercise, for no other reason than to be able to beat Jian Huanhuan to the ground.

Being skilled in both academics and martial arts was the right path.

There were quite a few people on the track. Chu Qing was very popular in the school’s social circles. Who wouldn’t like a gentle, talented beauty who didn’t cause trouble? Along the way, both male and female students who knew her would greet her, and some even came over to ask for her contact information.

Ji Mingxiao politely declined with a smile.

She just didn’t understand why such an excellent person like Chu Qing would be so insecure because of Jian Huanhuan. To outsiders, this was an incredibly strange thing. Unless you were the person involved, no one would know the real reason.

Perhaps they knew something wasn’t right, but they couldn’t get out of it.

Chu Qing’s body was indeed very weak. She was already out of breath after running half a lap.

Ji Mingxiao felt a little weary. Her steps slowed down a little. She looked around, not knowing where Xi Ruan was.

She ran three laps and then went back. Although half of it was walking, it was the first day after all, so there was nothing she could do.

Freshmen would be reporting the day after tomorrow, and she still needed to go help out. She wondered if she would faint on the way.

There were no classes in the morning. Ji Mingxiao ran into Jian Huanhuan on the way back to the dorm. The two of them made eye contact.

“Feeling better?”

“Mm.”

“Don’t you have a class in the morning? Why are you up so early?” Jian Huanhuan frowned slightly.

“Exercising.”

Jian Huanhuan was stunned for a moment: “That’s good. You are a bit too weak.”

As she said this, a different kind of light appeared in her eyes.

Ji Mingxiao felt nauseous again.

“You should hurry to your class. I have to go to the student council.” Ji Mingxiao didn’t want to say anything more to her. Although she really wanted to throw up on this person, it would ruin her image.

“Are you eating lunch with me?” Jian Huanhuan grabbed her wrist.

“We’ll see.” Ji Mingxiao pulled her wrist away. “You go to your class.”

Jian Huanhuan stared at Ji Mingxiao for a while: “What’s wrong with you?”

“What’s wrong with what?” Ji Mingxiao looked at her, a little confused.

Jian Huanhuan didn’t say anything more. It was already getting late, and she would be late for class if she didn’t hurry.

Ji Mingxiao went to the supermarket to buy hand sanitizer and wet wipes. For lunch, Ji Mingxiao ate with people from the student council, successfully isolating Jian Huanhuan.

At dinner time, she brought Jian Huanhuan along, but Ji Mingxiao’s roommates also joined in. Since it wasn’t just the two of them, Jian Huanhuan couldn’t say anything.

After returning to the dorm after dinner, Ji Mingxiao received a WeChat message from Jian Huanhuan.

Chu Qing’s original note for Jian Huanhuan was just “Huanhuan.” Ji Mingxiao was going to change it, but after thinking it over, she decided not to and left it there.

【Huanhuan: What do you mean?】

Ji Mingxiao put her phone aside and replied five minutes later.

【Chu Qing: ?】

【Huanhuan: Didn’t I tell you I don’t like seeing a single symbol? Can’t you talk?】

Ji Mingxiao looked at the screen. She just didn’t understand why a “little princess” like Chu Qing could tolerate this tone.

【Chu Qing: It’s the 21st century. Shouldn’t your emperor dream be over? Are your words an imperial decree? If a symbol can convey the meaning, why should I type a whole sentence?】

Jian Huanhuan was shocked by the message from the other side. Why was she suddenly like this?

【Huanhuan: I’m sorry, I haven’t been in a good mood with you recently, but you have to know that it’s all because I love you too much.】

【Huanhuan: I like you, which is why I hope you can be a polite person. Sending a question mark is really unfriendly.】

【Chu Qing: I don’t think it’s an unfriendly gesture. Don’t force your moral standards on me. Also, I think your tone is what’s unfriendly.】

【Chu Qing: I’ve also been tolerating you because I love you too much, but now I realize that loving someone means helping them become a better person. I hope your tone can be better in the future.】

System A: …

Saying the other person’s words to make them speechless.

Jian Huanhuan was indeed stunned for a moment. The person on the other side was like a complete stranger.

【Huanhuan: It’s also because I love you that I expose my bad side and my true self in front of you. What do you mean by tolerating me? You’re hurting me.】

Ji Mingxiao wanted to applaud Jian Huanhuan.

【Chu Qing: Then why can’t you accept the real me? Aren’t you too hypocritical, strict with others, but lenient with yourself? That’s not right.】

【Huanhuan: It seems there are many misunderstandings between us. You know I’m not good with words.】

【Chu Qing: French is quite difficult. People who aren’t good with words probably can’t learn French either.】

System A watched Ji Mingxiao skillfully shift the topic. It had to be said that Ji Mingxiao was the queen of contrarians.

Jian Huanhuan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

【Huanhuan: Do you want to go out on Saturday?】

【Chu Qing: No, I think we need to cool down.】

【Huanhuan: Don’t give me the silent treatment. It’s painful for both of us. My ex-girlfriend never gave me the silent treatment. Don’t always be so unreasonable.】

【Chu Qing: Do you understand what “cool down” means? If you still have feelings for your ex-girlfriend, we can break up. You can go find her. I have no problem with that.】

【Huanhuan: Why do you always talk about breaking up? It’s bad for our relationship.】

【Chu Qing: Why do you always talk about your ex-girlfriend? It’s bad for our relationship.】

【Huanhuan: Qingqing, what’s wrong with you?】

【Chu Qing: Nothing’s wrong with me. I’m just imitating how you talk.】

Ji Mingxiao threw her phone to the side and went to do her homework. Talking to this kind of person was a waste of time. Studying was better.

After that, Jian Huanhuan sent a bunch of other messages, but Ji Mingxiao didn’t reply to any of them.

“Qingqing, did you and Jian Huanhuan have a fight? She came looking for me.” Ji Mingxiao’s roommate on the opposite bunk turned around and patted her shoulder.

“What’s there to fight about? She brought up her ex-girlfriend again, so I told her to go find her ex-girlfriend.” Ji Mingxiao’s tone was very calm, and she glanced at her.

The other person’s expression was a bit conflicted: “Don’t you think Jian Huanhuan is a bit strange…”

As soon as Fang Ai said this, the other two stopped what they were doing and looked at Ji Mingxiao.

“How long have you two been dating, and you’ve already spent so much money on her? I don’t get it. If she likes shoes, why doesn’t she buy them herself?” Jiang Yu said, looking at Ji Mingxiao tentatively.

Chu Qing had a good relationship with her three roommates, and they would usually remind her, but every time they brought it up, Chu Qing would get upset.

“A single pair of shoes is thousands of dollars, and she only buys you some food. That’s it.” Fang Ai said.

“I know what I’m doing.”

“What do you know?!” Fang Ai frowned. “It’s obvious she’s just scamming you for money.”

“Be more tactful.” Zhou Wang patted Fang Ai’s arm and looked at Ji Mingxiao. “I know you’re very smart, but some things can’t be avoided just by being smart.”

“I know she’s not a good person, don’t worry.” Ji Mingxiao sighed a little helplessly.

“When did you figure that out?”

“It suddenly hit me yesterday.” Ji Mingxiao sighed. “There’s only a little money left in the card. There was no way I couldn’t realize it.”

The three of them looked at each other.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“We’ll see. She has to cough up some money eventually.” Ji Mingxiao rubbed her neck.

“You should think it through yourself. If you need any help, just let us know.” Jiang Yu said.

The four of them laughed. Ji Mingxiao tapped the table. How to turn 30,000 yuan into more money?

She hoped Xi Ruan existed in this world. It would be even better if Xi Ruan was a rich young lady.

Xi Ruan double-checked her luggage. In this world, she was a college freshman attending a local university. She came from a middle-class family, and her parents ran a small supermarket.

She took a sip of water, and just as she put the cup down, she heard her father’s yell from this world.

Xi Ruan frowned, startled. The next second, her father was scolded by her mother.

“Why are you screaming! It’s so late at night!”

“I won the lottery! The lottery ticket I bought won! Eighty million!”

Xi Ruan: ???

Xi Ruan immediately ran out. Her mother was already stunned and frozen in place: “What did you say? How much?”

“I won the lottery! Eighty million!” This time, her father’s voice was much softer. “Lower your voice. We’ll go claim the prize together tomorrow.”

“Then what about me?” Xi Ruan asked.

“You can go to school by yourself. What’s the rush, or you can go after we come back.”
