Transmigrating Into A Sadistic Novel And Becoming A Master Of Painting Rosy Pictures - Chapter 5

[Prevent the female supporting character from encountering the male and female leads in the stairwell and developing initial romantic feelings. Task completed, completion rate 100%, points obtained: 30. Host total points: 50, unsettled points: 0]

The system’s settlement sound rang out, and her points settlement list appeared. Bian Yingning happily pinched Ji Xiaoxue’s cheek: “You came just in time.”

She almost couldn’t handle the female supporting character’s train of thought.

Ji Xiaoxue’s face flushed crimson from her action.

Bian Yingning didn’t notice; she turned and opened the restroom door.

Shang Qinghui was still in front of the mirror. Hearing the sound, she turned and saw Bian Yingning smiling triumphantly, with a shy girl beside her, her head down. The girl looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember her name.

“What? Seeing that I’ve exposed your intentions, you don’t want to hide them anymore?” Shang Qinghui sneered sarcastically.

“My intentions?” Bian Yingning was momentarily stunned before understanding.

Shang Qinghui meant that after she said Nangong Jin wouldn’t like Bian Yingning, Bian Yingning immediately opened the door, implying she was right.

“Focus more on your studies and stop thinking about these things. Look at your own grades.” Bian Yingning didn’t know how to explain, so she earnestly advised her.

Shang Qinghui laughed, loudly and uncontrollably: “Bian Yingning, I think you really did damage your brain. My college entrance exam score is in the top ten of the finance department. As far as I know, you’re the last in your major, right? You can actually say such nonsense. Take your medicine on time.”

At Haicheng University, student IDs are assigned based on college entrance exam scores. The lower the student ID number, the lower the ranking in the department.

Bian Yingning, embarrassed and speechless: “…” Unbelievable. Shouldn’t the female supporting character be an idiot? Why is she different?

“Ahem.” Even the system couldn’t help but clear its throat.

Bian Yingning mentally cursed it: “What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you remind me? I’m so embarrassed. You know I’ve never lost an argument before! This is making things difficult for me! Do you even want me to complete the task?!”

System: “…”

“You told me to take my medicine on time?” Bian Yingning pondered, “You care about me?”

Shang Qinghui: “…Is that your way of changing the subject?”

Oh, she was found out.

“Fine, since you don’t want to have dinner or milk tea with me, then go.” Bian Yingning also intended to leave; the task was completed.

As she took a step, her dress was pulled.

Bian Yingning turned around. Ji Xiaoxue was looking down, her ears red as blood: “Senior, we can have dinner and milk tea together.”

Bian Yingning frowned.

But she wanted to go home and sleep.

She had asked Shang Qinghui to have dinner with her as a way to complete the task. Now that the task was done, there was no need for that method anymore.

But since she was invited, it didn’t seem right to refuse.

“Then, shall we… go to the cafeteria?” Bian Yingning hesitated.

Going out was too troublesome; it was better to quickly resolve things in the cafeteria.

“Okay.” Ji Xiaoxue smiled, looking at Bian Yingning with trust in her eyes.

Witnessing the two conspiring as if she didn’t exist, especially Bian Yingning, who had locked her in the restroom to force her to have dinner, now changing so quickly.

So irritating.

Shang Qinghui rolled her eyes and sneered as she passed them: “Bian Yingning, I’m not done with you for locking me up!”

Bian Yingning looked innocent: “You didn’t come out, did you? If you had, I wouldn’t have locked you up.”

Shang Qinghui paused, momentarily finding her logic reasonable.

“By the way, remember to unblock me. I might ask you out for dinner again!”

What a nutcase.

Shang Qinghui quickened her pace.

This is her new trick, huh? She’s ruthless.

Indeed, shameless people are invincible. Didn’t she know what their relationship was like?

Dinner? A fight would be more direct.

After shouting at Shang Qinghui’s back, Bian Yingning looked down to see the female lead hesitating. She naturally put her arm around her shoulder, acting like good friends, and led her towards the cafeteria.

She had already explored the campus; she knew where all four cafeterias were.

Ji Xiaoxue shrunk her neck and stiffened her shoulders from her action.

A faint, sweet fragrance, whose name she couldn’t place, filled her nostrils. Was it the heat? Why is my head feel dizzy, and whole body feel so hot?

“What’s wrong? If you want to say something, just say it.” Thinking about how easily she’d completed two tasks, Bian Yingning felt elated.

This reality show game wasn’t that difficult.

Yes, a game. To Bian Yingning, everything here was just a game.

“That person just now… she’s in my class, and she’s the one who almost hit us on the first day of school, right?” Remembering Shang Qinghui’s aggressive demeanor, Ji Xiaoxue flinched, unconsciously drawing closer to Bian Yingning.

“Yes, stay away from her if you can. Try not to interact with her. If she bullies you, tell me immediately.” Bian Yingning instructed seriously.

Ji Xiaoxue nodded, her lips pursed: “Senior, you know her very well?”

Bian Yingning scratched her head: “We’re childhood friends. We’re pretty close.”

“Childhood friends, huh…” Ji Xiaoxue lowered her eyes. She had already memorized Shang Qinghui’s name and background since joining the class: her family is in construction, one of the four giants in H City, a spoiled and willful rich girl.

But if Senior was her childhood friend, then Senior’s background… must also be extraordinary.

They’re both rich, but Senior is so gentle, kind, cultured, and reasonable, while others…

“It seems like your relationship isn’t very friendly?” Ji Xiaoxue said cautiously.

“Oh, what do you call it… a love-hate relationship. Yes, a love-hate relationship.”

“I see.” Ji Xiaoxue didn’t mention it again, chatting with Bian Yingning about the interesting things she’d encountered these past few days.

…

“By the way, that guy who was driving last time… he’s actually a graduate of our school, and he gave a lecture today.”

“Oh?” Bian Yingning pretended not to know: “Such a coincidence.”

“Yeah, such an unexpected person, actually gave a lecture. The school isn’t afraid of misleading students.”

“Exactly, how could they do that?” Bian Yingning, an emotionless machine who just wants to go home, echoed.

…

Reaching the cafeteria, Ji Xiaoxue took out her meal card: “Senior, what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you.”

The cafeteria of a prestigious university was different; everything was available.

Bian Yingning looked around: “I’ll just have a fruit salad.”

“Ah? Senior, are you on a diet?”

“No, it’s hot, and I don’t have much of an appetite.” Rich people don’t eat in the cafeteria. She’s a young heiress now; she should eat a five-star steak. Yes, she needs to save some room.

Ji Xiaoxue obediently went to get her a fruit salad, thinking that Senior was the legendary ethereal goddess, with such refined tastes, matching her elegant temperament.

Finally getting rid of her enthusiastic follower, Bian Yingning rubbed her stomach and walked towards the school gate.

The school might be busy with the freshmen these past two days, so their classes were reduced. She didn’t have any classes today.

“Hello, campus talent show, welcome to participate! The prizes are very rich.” Someone was distributing posters at the entrance of the commercial street, and Bian Yingning also received one.

Something about celebrating the new students’ arrival, enriching campus activities, and major campus organizations like the student union and youth league collaborating to organize an arts competition.

Bian Yingning glanced at it and wanted to throw it away.

[Host, please note, the female supporting character will clash with the female lead in this campus talent show, thus embarking on the path of a vicious female supporting character who frames and harms the female lead. Please stop it.

Task value: 50 points, Task failure: struck by five lightnings]

In the original story, the female supporting character’s ribbon dance was supposed to win first place. Unexpectedly, the female lead sang a self-composed sad song, making the song both passionate and explosive, stunning everyone and pushing the female supporting character to second place, winning first place herself.

Then the female supporting character was unhappy. Since they were in the same class and often worked on group projects together, the female supporting character pushed all the work onto the female lead.

That wasn’t all; she also isolated the female lead, making her cry every day and not wanting to study anymore.

Bian Yingning’s hand froze. She looked at the poster again and again, trying to figure out what was so attractive about this activity that it would attract both the female lead and the female supporting character.

Haicheng University was wealthy; the prizes for competitions were usually generous. For this talent show, the first prize was 8888 yuan in cash plus a certificate.

This prize money was probably the reason the female lead participated.

It was said that this competition was only held once a year, secretly considered a way to select school beauties and heartthrobs. The first-place winner would be listed on Haicheng University’s school beauty and heartthrob rankings.

Bian Yingning pondered. This was probably the reason the female supporting character participated.

But this task was worth fifty points, which meant… it was very difficult.

Both the female lead and the female supporting character were participating. The best way to prevent the female supporting character from resenting the female lead was to let the female supporting character win first place, but that wouldn’t be fair to the female lead.

But there’s only one first place.

In the end, it’s the female supporting character’s mentality. Losing is losing; she’s just not as skilled. Secretly retaliating is unacceptable.

Maybe neither of them should compete. Let her win first place, let her prove herself, and see how the female supporting character resents her.

Bian Yingning asked the system: “What talents do I have?” She studied journalism before; the only thing she could do was write articles, and she spoke Mandarin fluently. But she couldn’t go up there and perform tongue twisters.

System: “The original character was proficient in all aspects of arts and culture, with piano being her best.”

See? That’s a must-have skill for a rich girl.

“Then I’ll play a piece of music.” Bian Yingning said happily.

“…Does the host have the memory of this skill?”

Bian Yingning: “???” Does that mean I only inherited an empty shell?
