The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 86

“However, although Jian Huanhuan won’t have to go to jail this time, she’ll probably be expelled. She just received a disciplinary notice, and now this happens,” Ji Mingxiao rubbed her neck. “It’s obvious she doesn’t take the school seriously.”

Even if Ji Mingxiao didn’t say anything, Lawyer Chu would definitely find a way to do something. As a famous lawyer, he had connections.

After returning, Lawyer Chu discussed the matter with Chu Qing’s mother, Lawyer Zhao. Everyone who knew Lawyer Zhao knew she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She called the dean of their department directly and “very politely” inquired about the situation.

Jian Huanhuan was expelled.

Although the expulsion process took a while, she was still expelled because the nature of her actions was so egregious.

Jian Huanhuan’s parents came to cause a scene. After they learned about Jian Huanhuan’s latest foolish act, her father slapped her in front of her classmates.

Someone even recorded a video of the chaotic scene. It was said that Jian Huanhuan was slapped so hard she bled. Jian Huanhuan’s mother also tried to see Ji Mingxiao, but no one present would help her find her.

When a student from a prestigious school does something bad, it always attracts attention. This incident even drew social news reporters. Jian Huanhuan’s parents were ambushed by reporters on their way to work, and some people even came to the school for interviews. When asked about Jian Huanhuan, everyone either said they didn’t know her or expressed strong disdain. When they talked about Ji Mingxiao, they were full of praise. The difference in their popularity was clear at a glance.

The heat from the previous PUA incident hadn’t died down yet, and now Jian Huanhuan was at the top again, increasing the heat even more.

Jian Huanhuan was truly going crazy this time, afraid to leave the house.

Some people came to interview Ji Mingxiao, but she refused all of them. She only stated that she hoped Jian Huanhuan would pay back the money soon and not delay.

Jian Huanhuan’s parents originally wanted to stall, but now with the news out, and everyone asking about it, they had no choice but to quickly pay the money back.

“Jian Huanhuan must be having a terrible time right now,” Xi Ruan whispered, leaning on her desk and glancing at the teacher in front.

Ji Mingxiao nodded and patted Xi Ruan’s head. “She’s at home regretting her actions, though I don’t know to what extent.”

This was originally Ji Mingxiao’s class, but Xi Ruan still came along, claiming she was “passionate about learning” and auditing the course. However, everyone knew the real reason.

Ji Mingxiao smiled inwardly but didn’t expose her, wanting to give Xi Ruan some face.

It was already a good sign that the girl was willing to come on her own. She squeezed Xi Ruan’s hand under the table.

Xi Ruan glanced at Ji Mingxiao but didn’t say anything, her face slightly flushed.

Over the next period, Ji Mingxiao and Xi Ruan were basically inseparable. It didn’t take long for everyone who knew Ji Mingxiao to realize she and Xi Ruan were dating. Although it was a seemingly “seamless transition” to a new girlfriend, no one said anything. Any doubts they had remained unspoken.

A month into their relationship, Ji Mingxiao invited Xi Ruan and her friends to a dinner. They booked a very large private room, and several hundred people showed up.

“Honestly, if someone didn’t know, they’d think you two were getting married.”

Ji Mingxiao put her arm around Xi Ruan’s waist. “If we could ever register our marriage, we’d do it in a heartbeat.”

“You’re dreaming big. You didn’t propose properly, and now you’re just casually saying this?” Xi Ruan glared at Ji Mingxiao and pinched her waist.

Ji Mingxiao: …

Everyone else laughed.

Ji Mingxiao looked at Xi Ruan, who gave a small huff, pushed her hand away, and walked off.

“Senior, aren’t you going to go and comfort her?”

Ji Mingxiao waved her hand and immediately followed. Xi Ruan was standing on the hotel balcony, leaning on the railing and looking down. Ji Mingxiao walked up beside her.

“How can you be so careless?” Xi Ruan turned her head to look at Ji Mingxiao.

“There will be a sense of ceremony; don’t worry,” Ji Mingxiao smiled.

Xi Ruan scoffed and gave Ji Mingxiao a look. “I don’t believe a word you say.”

“What do you mean, you don’t believe a word I say? I started thinking about what I would do to marry you a very, very long time ago,” Ji Mingxiao lowered her voice. “It’s a shame I’m not in that world, or I could show you the notebook where I planned our wedding. I wrote so many proposals.”

Xi Ruan glanced at Ji Mingxiao. “Tsk, if I didn’t agree, it would just be a book of wasted paper.”

“Who says that? I can dream about it. I have dreams about it all the time,” Ji Mingxiao put her arm around Xi Ruan’s shoulder. “The atmosphere is just right now; it’s perfect for a kiss.”

Xi Ruan: …

Just as Ji Mingxiao was about to speak, she heard a notification sound in her head.

She froze for a moment, then smiled. “That Jian Huanhuan, she’s quite sensible.”

Xi Ruan rubbed her temple, a little speechless. “So, we’re just going back now?”

“No, I want to hear you call me ‘Senior.'”

Xi Ruan: …

“What kind of weird fetish is that?” Xi Ruan was a little helpless.

“Come on,” Ji Mingxiao said, shaking Xi Ruan’s hand.

Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao, feeling a bit exhausted.

A person who doesn’t usually act coquettish suddenly doing so was a little scary.

Xi Ruan stared at Ji Mingxiao for a long time, preparing herself mentally. She took a deep breath and said in a very small voice, like a mosquito’s buzz:

“Senior.”

Maybe because the voice was so soft, it sounded much gentler.

Ji Mingxiao smiled with satisfaction.

“Could you say it one more time?”

Xi Ruan glared at Ji Mingxiao. “Don’t push your luck.”

Ji Mingxiao sighed in disappointment.

Because the two of them had been gone for so long, some people had come out to look for them.

“Are you two okay?”

“We’re fine,” Ji Mingxiao smiled.

“You scared us; you were gone for so long, we thought you were fighting.”

“I knew they were just having a private moment.”

“Well, we’re heading back first. You two should hurry back, too. You can’t abandon your good friends just because you have a girlfriend, right?”

“We know!” Ji Mingxiao waved her hand.

As the few people left, the balcony became quiet again.

Ji Mingxiao pinched Xi Ruan’s face. “Let’s go, let’s go back. I can’t wait.”

Xi Ruan: …

Her face flushed a little more. She didn’t ask what she was so “anxious” about.

She knew that asking such a question would definitely not lead to anything good.

“Ji Mingxiao.”

Xi Ruan softly repeated the name in her heart and glanced at her again.

“Let’s go back.”

When Xi Ruan woke up this time, she felt different from before.

There was a sense of profound regret, yet at the same time, a genuine happiness.

She frowned, unsure of what she had forgotten.

“System,” Xi Ruan called out.

The system didn’t respond.

“System!”

Xi Ruan frowned.

The system huffed. “I’m mad.”

“What?” Xi Ruan was speechless. “What do you have to be mad about?”

“Even though I’m a system, I have feelings, okay! You clearly like Ji Mingxiao, but you lied to me and said you didn’t.”

Xi Ruan was stunned, her mind a mess.

What exactly happened in that world?

What did Ji Mingxiao do that made her confess?

Although she didn’t understand why she liked Ji Mingxiao, she just felt very comfortable when she was with her.

It was a strange feeling.

Xi Ruan pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and resolved to ask:

“Then what?”

“What ‘then what’?”

“I like Ji Mingxiao, then what?” Xi Ruan had originally wanted to deny it, but once the words were out, she didn’t want to.

Her conscience was bothering her.

After Ji Mingxiao came out, she was very excited. She sat on the bed for a while, patting her face.

“I’m with Ruan Shaojia,” Ji Mingxiao said.

“I’m with Ruan Shaojia!” This time, Ji Mingxiao’s voice was much louder.

System A disliked Ji Mingxiao in this state the most. So what if she had a girlfriend?

“I know, you don’t have to repeat it. I’ve known for a long time.”

“I wasn’t talking to you,” Ji Mingxiao said curtly.

System A: …

This was the first time she returned and didn’t check her stats first, but instead, sent a message to Xi Ruan.

[Xiao Xiao: I like you.]

[Xi Ruan: I know.]

[Xiao Xiao: You promised to let me kiss you when we came back.]

[Xi Ruan: Did you confess to me?]

[Xiao Xiao: ???]

[Xiao Xiao: Of course, who else would confess to you?]

[Xi Ruan: My system said I confessed to you.]

[Xiao Xiao: It seems you’ve liked me for a long time too, otherwise, why would you so easily believe the system’s lie about you confessing to me?]

Xi Ruan was silent, and then silent again.

Sure enough, with her thin skin, how could she possibly confess to her?

She suddenly didn’t know how to reply.

[Xiao Xiao: I’m coming to find you.]

[Xi Ruan: Okay.]

Xi Ruan saw Ji Mingxiao’s message about kissing her, took a deep breath, and patted her face, which was starting to feel hot.

Ji Mingxiao basically ran all the way, attracting many stares.

She had just reached Xi Ruan’s door, and before she could knock, the door opened by itself.

“I added you to the system; you can come in directly from now on,” Xi Ruan said.

Ji Mingxiao smiled. Although Xi Ruan didn’t usually express her affection for Ji Mingxiao with words, it was always clear from many small things that she really liked her.

“Okay, how do I do that? I’ll add you when I get back.”

Xi Ruan cleared her throat. “I didn’t mean anything else. It’s just more convenient for you not to have to look for me when you come in next time.”

“I know. It’s definitely not because you already consider me family.”

Xi Ruan gave a small huff.

Ji Mingxiao sat down next to Xi Ruan and took her hand.

“Wait a minute!” Xi Ruan interrupted Ji Mingxiao’s actions.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ll block the system first.”

“I’m just going to kiss you; I’m not doing anything else.”

Xi Ruan narrowed her eyes. “That’s not okay either. I don’t like being watched by others, not even people.”

Besides, she wasn’t confident in Ji Mingxiao’s self-control. Who knows if this person would do something else after just kissing?

“Fine,” Ji Mingxiao immediately blocked her own system.

System A: …

The system that couldn’t have a name: …
