When the Villain From an Angsty Novel Transmigrates Into a Sweet Romance [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 7

Regarding the dispute back then, it seems like an utterly trivial matter now, but why the two of them started arguing remains a mystery.

Fang Yuqing was hugging her dinosaur plushie, lying on her side listening to music. The pleasant singing made her inadvertently think of another person; the song she was listening to now was the very one she and Chi Xia had eavesdropped on during that evening self-study session. Usually, she didn’t think there was any problem with it, but after the conversation the two of them had in the car earlier, Fang Yuqing felt uncomfortable all over.

“What am I listening to music for! I’m not listening anymore!”

She scrambled up, turned off her phone, and sat cross-legged with her head lowered in deep thought.

A moment later, Fang Yuqing let out a wail and said, “Look at this mouth of mine, I really bring up exactly what shouldn’t be mentioned! Of all the things to talk about, why did I have to mention that incident? I must be an idiot!”

The brief communication in the car didn’t prove anything, but Fang Yuqing would much rather bury that incident in the past forever. Bringing it up again now was complete social death!

“Ugh, Chi Xia will definitely laugh at me.”

“Maybe she’s hiding under her blanket laughing right now.”

Fang Yuqing collapsed onto the dinosaur plushie, her hair spreading out and revealing her smooth forehead. Without a trace of makeup, her complexion was fair and delicate. At this moment, Fang Yuqing’s gaze was dazed, looking completely preoccupied.

And Chi Xia, whom she was thinking about, lived right next door. After having dinner tonight, Chi Xia did not leave and chose to stay here. They were separated only by a single wall. The soundproofing was very good, but in Fang Yuqing’s view, such an arrangement only made her increasingly flustered and lose her composure.

She began to regret why she had asked Chi Xia to pick her up tonight, but unfortunately, it was too late for regrets; what was meant to happen had already happened.

Across the distance of a single wall, Chi Xia was focusing busily on her own work.

Under the bright lamplight, she took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose to relieve fatigue. Her resilient eyes held ambition for other positions. If Chi Xia secured the cooperation with the foreign enterprise, she could advance toward a higher position otherwise, why would Chi Xia bother working overtime to snatch away the business of the male lead, Yu She?

She instinctively went to drink her coffee only to find it had reached the bottom, so she stood up to brew another cup.

After all, this wasn’t her home. The coffee was only instant; it was Fang Yuqing’s coffee placed in the living room, and Chi Xia had been drinking a cup she brewed until now.

She thought of Fang Yuqing, ripples stirring in her eyes, and she shook her head with a smile. Sometimes she really couldn’t understand what was going on in Fang Yuqing’s brain. Back in high school, when she was being targeted by her, she didn’t seem to notice but instead grew closer and closer to her. Chi Xia, who never played the good person, had kindly clarified those strange rumors when she heard them, yet Fang Yuqing had sought her out to question her and got angry with her. Fang Yuqing truly was a very strange woman.

Chi Xia passed by Fang Yuqing’s room and saw that the light was still on. Was she planning to be late for work tomorrow by staying up so late?

She lowered her eyes and inadvertently saw the bracelet on her wrist. Chi Xia wore the bracelet intentionally so that Fang Yuqing would notice it and recall the guilty things she had done in the past, but such tactics could be used on Fang Yuqing, and Chi Xia could use them as well.

Chi Xia thought about how, in all the missions she had done, this was the first time she had been hurt by someone, and it was a bite wound at that. Back then, she, the one who was bitten, hadn’t even cried, while Fang Yuqing, the one who opened her mouth to bite, was the first to start crying.

She cursed in a low voice with a laugh: “Crybaby.”

Chi Xia should have made Fang Yuqing resolve the trouble she had stirred up herself, but then she thought about how she would hurt her in the future, so that bite mark could be considered as interest collected by Fang Yuqing in advance.

“What are you doing standing outside my room acting all sneaky!”

Fang Yuqing, who couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, believed she had to blame Chi Xia for drinking coffee, which led to her being unable to resist the attraction of the aroma and drinking a cup as well, resulting in her becoming a night owl now.

She was preparing to go pour a cup of sleep-inducing milk when she opened the door and saw Chi Xia with a gentle smile hovering on her lips.

When someone who doesn’t frequently show such an expression suddenly becomes gentle, it truly becomes a fatal poison.

Fang Yuqing was immensely stunned. Who doesn’t love to appreciate a beautiful elder sister? However, the premise was that this beautiful sister had not earned Fang Yuqing’s disdain, so the stunned feeling of this moment was quickly replaced by other emotions.

“Just passing by.”

“Oh.” Fang Yuqing mimicked Chi Xia’s taciturn manner, glanced at her, and walked past her.

Chi Xia looked at her with surprise; the talkative personality had suddenly changed, which was somewhat intriguing.

They walked one after the other, both heading in the same direction, stubbornly putting on an act as if they were not familiar with each other.

Fang Yuqing heated a cup of milk with her back to Chi Xia, not even glancing at her with a direct look.

Chi Xia’s steps were much simpler; after all, it was instant coffee.

She slowly and methodically stirred the coffee, her curvaceous figure showcasing the charm of a mature woman. She always wore such an expression, as if nothing could cause a change in her emotions.

As soon as Fang Yuqing turned around, she saw Chi Xia drinking coffee. Her slender yet strong fingers held the cup, and the way her arms were propped up allowed one to clearly see the scenery at her chest. With the movement of her throat, the bitter but uniquely fragrant coffee was swallowed by her. Because her lips had just been moistened by the coffee, there was a dampness on them, as if stained with a bit of heat, making her appear warm and soft.

“Staring at me again?”

Fang Yuqing regained her senses and immediately retorted, “I’m learning from Yu She’s greasy-man gaze with that extremely strong killing power, so as to reach the level of making you feel disgusted.”

Chi Xia couldn’t help but chuckle. “What good does it do you if I’m disgusted? Moreover, if I feel disgusted, it’s from looking at you. This move kills a thousand enemies but loses eight hundred of your own.”

Fang Yuqing rolled her eyes at her, thought about it, and finally walked over with small steps, sitting on the home-style bar stool. “You’re still not sleeping?”

“Just finished work, I’m not very sleepy.”

Fang Yuqing was shocked. “Sister, do you know what time it is? You’re actually telling me you’re not very sleepy? Is your energy too overflowing, or am I just old and can’t handle staying up anymore?”

Chi Xia propped up her chin. Drinking a cup of lukewarm coffee in the heat of summer didn’t make her feel restless; on the contrary, it made her mind feel comfortable hot and warming to the heart.

She smiled and said in a low voice, “I’m just used to staying up late.”

“Tsk, is this the reason why you can become a manager despite being roughly the same age?”

Although Chi Xia didn’t know too much about her time abroad, she had the “golden finger” of the plot. She had appeared in this world, but she hadn’t disrupted the development of the plot too much. She honestly went to school, and her bullying of Fang Yuqing was just like “primary school chicken” bickering. Therefore, Fang Yuqing’s follow-up followed the same development as the plot, and since Chi Xia had read the plot, she naturally had a general understanding of Fang Yuqing’s situation.

She looked toward Fang Yuqing and said, “If you hadn’t returned to the country, you should be about the same as me.”

Fang Yuqing smiled and said modestly, “No, no, I was just a small manager. How should I put it? There were no family members of mine there, so it felt like being duckweed; I always felt unsettled.”

“No sense of security?” Chi Xia said.

She lamented, “Maybe so. You know my family situation; I was raised by my mother since I was young. Since she has a family here in the country, it was impossible for her to go abroad with me. She has her own life, too; how could she revolve around me forever? I originally wanted to jump to another company, but after consideration, I still came back. Home is right here, and I can’t leave it.”

Fang Yuqing wouldn’t ask what Chi Xia would choose, because Chi Xia would definitely stay abroad; it was a matter of personality.

Chi Xia was stunned for a moment and murmured, “Family, huh.”

“Yeah, family. Now you and I are a family too.”

Fang Yuqing propped her face with both hands, smiling radiantly.

Chi Xia was rendered speechless by her burning gaze. In the past, in the “Angst Novel” worlds, she had never had such an experience. A normal father, a normal family in an Angst Novel world, one would never receive such treatment. She had unexpectedly arrived in a “Sweet Novel” world and found that everything here was so different; sometimes even the sky was so blue that it made one feel refreshed and joyful.

Chi Xia drank a sip of coffee as a cover and gave a low response, “If you say so, then I guess we are.”

“Hey, you sound very reluctant?”

“I’m not.”

Fang Yuqing said helplessly, “Making you say something nice could really kill you.”

Chi Xia curled her lips into a slight smile and said, “I only know how to scold people.”

“Oh, then you really are just so ‘wonderful,’ aren’t you?” Fang Yuqing stood up and said disdainfully, “Heh, unreasonable women are just the most annoying.”

“Then they can’t compare to you.”

Chi Xia’s eyes crinkled with a smile, rarely revealing a mischievous look. She looked lovely and enchanting, but the words she spoke caused Fang Yuqing to hear a hidden meaning for a moment.

“So what! Do you want me to bite you again?” Maybe she wasn’t afraid of being scalded? Maybe once you’ve suffered social death, you aren’t afraid of dying again? Regardless, Fang Yuqing didn’t regret saying this threatening remark at all.

Chi Xia let out a surprised “pfft” and a laugh, naturally extending her arm and offering an invitation: “Why don’t you try? Last time was the left hand; this time, let’s switch to the right.”

If I let you bite me a second time, wouldn’t I lose too much face?

Fang Yuqing looked at her, and her memory suddenly flashed back to the past. At that time, they were not as harmonious as they were now. She had aggressively dragged Chi Xia’s hand and walked forward. On the way, no matter how Chi Xia tried to shake her off, Fang Yuqing was determined to stick to her wrist. Out of helplessness, Chi Xia could only follow her, wanting to see exactly what she had to say.

Fang Yuqing curled her lips and raised her eyes once again to gaze at her, saying, “Tell me the truth, after I bit you back then, did you start hating me even more?”

Chi Xia shook her head. “No.”

“Really? You’re not lying to me?” In addition to her shock, Fang Yuqing felt a bit of secret joy.

“Because I have always hated you; that point will not change.” She smiled faintly, her gorgeous face making it impossible for anyone to say a harsh word to her.

Fang Yuqing’s smile vanished instantly. Fuming with rage, she grabbed Chi Xia’s hand and scolded, “Chi Xia, I hate you the most! I hate you even more than you hate me!”

Is it really that hard to say something to coax me? Chi Xiao Er!

“Fine, fine, fine. I get it, and I understand.?
