When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 50

Last night after the incident, He Xinyao sent a message to Zheng Zhouzhou, but until the next morning, He Xinyao didn’t receive a reply from Zheng Zhouzhou.

Of course, He Xinyao wouldn’t think that Zheng Zhouzhou was deliberately not replying to her. She thought that maybe Zhouzhou went to bed very early.

In fact, even if Zheng Zhouzhou replied to her, He Xinyao didn’t know what to say. She messed things up, and Zhouzhou would definitely think she was useless.

She never anticipated this. He Xinyao couldn’t understand. She wondered when Jiang Jiang had taken the recording pen—perhaps when I had grabbed her so suddenly?

It was possible. After all, the light around the long chair was relatively dim, and the situation had been tense. Xie Xiao could have made small movements without me noticing.

He Xinyao touched the bandage on her face, a flicker of fear crossing her expression.

The doctor said that if the wound on her face was deeper, it was likely to leave a scar.

Thinking of the girl covered in blood mentioned by Xie Xiao, He Xinyao couldn’t help but shudder. She had nightmares all night last night, and the dream was full of the appearance of that person falling from the roof.

Reason told He Xinyao that many people knew about that incident back then, and Xie Xiao was likely deliberately scaring her, but Xie Xiao was too evil, and He Xinyao couldn’t help but think about the girl. Could it be that she really saw something?

Otherwise, how could she explain that there was no one behind her at that time, but there was a bruise on her calf after being hit?

What exactly kicked me?

He Xinyao couldn’t help but find her phone again and sent all her guesses to Zheng Zhouzhou.

[Yao Yao Who Loves To Drink Porridge: Zhouzhou, you must be careful, what if Xie Xiao also uses evil magic to deal with you, this kind of dirty means is really hard to guard against.]

Zheng Zhouzhou still didn’t reply to her.

He Xinyao was full of worry, only hoping that Zheng Zhouzhou could see her message sooner.

But in fact, Zheng Zhouzhou had already seen it.

She irritably put down her phone and clicked into the chat box with Ji Heyuan again. The last message was still the sentence “Okay” she sent, and Ji Heyuan never replied to her again.

Zheng Zhouzhou knew that Ji Heyuan was angry. She should coax Ji Heyuan at this time, but there were too many annoying things recently. Zheng Zhouzhou felt uneasy in her heart, as if something had lost control.

It seemed that ever since Liang Junsheng’s scandal broke, she was suppressed by Xie Xiao, making it impossible to get close to the Ji family.

Zheng Zhouzhou was originally glad that she hadn’t offended Xie Xiao too badly. Ji Xu’an probably wouldn’t bother with her. Even without the Ji family’s support, Zheng Zhouzhou could still leverage her knowledge to find other opportunities.

But she wondered if she was simply unlucky, or if someone was deliberately sabotaging her. Zheng Zhouzhou felt incredibly unlucky.

First was Chen Tang. Zheng Zhouzhou had seen the news in her previous life, and this time she deliberately arrived at the hot pot restaurant one step earlier to save her.

Originally, Chen Tang was very grateful to her, and promised her that she would introduce her to try out for a play by a well-known director.

Zheng Zhouzhou had been looking forward to it, but after they separated that day, there was no follow-up to this matter.

She went to ask Chen Tang, but the other party’s attitude was a bit strange, and she also tested her implicitly, seeming to suspect that there was another hidden story behind this matter.

Zheng Zhouzhou was furious, but couldn’t explain her sudden appearance at the hot pot restaurant. She stubbornly refused to admit to anything. Chen Tang had no proof linking her to the incident.

However, this blocked her path to getting close to Chen Tang.

Zheng Zhouzhou couldn’t expose this matter yet. She was just a small star with no name, but Chen Tang was a very famous producer in the circle. The other party had too many connections than her, and could easily block her.

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t dare to offend Chen Tang at all.

Looking back at everything since her rebirth, Zheng Zhouzhou suddenly felt a little lost.

At the beginning of her rebirth, Zheng Zhouzhou was full of spirit and eager to change her life. She also did a good job, and won Ji Heyuan’s heart from the beginning.

At that time, although Ji Xu’an didn’t like her very much, she didn’t put her mind on such a little person like Zheng Zhouzhou.

As long as she was patient enough, Ji Heyuan would really fall in love with her sooner or later. If Ji Heyuan sincerely wanted to be with her, what could Ji Xu’an do even if she disagreed?

Even if Ji Heyuan was just a second daughter who usually stayed out of things, she had the backing of the Linghai Group. If she were willing to humble herself and plead with Ji Xu’an on Zheng Zhouzhou’s behalf, wouldn’t Ji Xu’an surely provide resources?

My plans were clearly very good, when did they start to deviate?

It started from the time Xie Xiao appeared.

In her memories, Xie Xiao had been a naive simpleton, but after several encounters, Zheng Zhouzhou had suffered greatly at Xie Xiao’s hands. Now, looking at He Xinyao’s message, a long-forgotten suspicion resurfaced in Zheng Zhouzhou’s mind.

Was the current Xie Xiao really the Xie Xiao in my memory?

…

In the morning, Ji Xu’an still sent Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan to school.

Jiang Jiang sensed something odd in Ji Heyuan’s gaze. It lacked last night’s enthusiasm, yet wasn’t distant either; instead, it held a strange mixture of shock and numbness.

Could it be that Zheng Zhouzhou said something to Ji Heyuan?

Jiang Jiang began to test Ji Heyuan, “Xiao Yuan, did you sleep well last night?”

Ji Xu’an was driving, and after hearing Jiang Jiang’s words, she also looked at Ji Heyuan through the rearview mirror.

Jiang Jiang asked casually, but Ji Heyuan reacted as if a secret had been exposed, her whole demeanor bristling. “Wh-what? I definitely slept very well last night!”

That meant she didn’t sleep well.

Could it be that after seeing He Xinyao’s miserable state last night, she had a nightmare?

“I slept soundly last night, I didn’t dream at all!” Ji Heyuan avoided Ji Xu’an’s gaze, afraid her sister would see through her little thoughts.

God only knows how much Ji Heyuan was questioning her entire existence at that moment.

She’d dreamt all night. Initially, it was just a jumble of images, but then, inexplicably, Zheng Zhouzhou appeared in Ji Heyuan’s dream.

The Zheng Zhouzhou in the dream looked at her with red, accusing eyes, demanding to know why she was changing her affections.

Ji Heyuan found this strange. When had she changed her affections? While her feelings for Zheng Zhouzhou weren’t as strong as before, it was only because of Zheng Zhouzhou’s actions that had disappointed her.

This was her and Zheng Zhouzhou’s business from beginning to end, what did it have to do with other people?

Ji Heyuan reasoned this, and asked as much, but Zheng Zhouzhou pointed at her and sharply demanded, “Then what’s the relationship between you and that woman behind you? Why are you protecting her like this?”

Where did the woman behind me come from?

Ji Heyuan turned her head, puzzled, only to be met with a pair of shockingly familiar eyes that left her speechless.

Ji Heyuan widened her eyes in horror.

“Xie Jiang Jiang?!”

The Xie Jiang Jiang in the dream felt strangely off. Though her face was the same, Ji Heyuan felt that her demeanor and movements were unlike the Xie Jiang Jiang she knew.

It wasn’t until the figure in the dream grabbed her sleeve and called her “A-Yuan” in an intimate tone that Ji Heyuan became even more suspicious that this wasn’t Xie Jiang Jiang at all.

I must be bewitched. When has Xie Jiang Jiang ever used such a tone to talk to me?

But Ji Heyuan still couldn’t figure it out. How could she dream of a girl who looked exactly like Xie Jiang Jiang, and Zheng Zhouzhou was so sure that she liked this person.

Even in the dream, Ji Heyuan tried her best to clear her relationship with that girl, but she couldn’t explain it at all. On one side, Zheng Zhouzhou’s angry and sad accusations were in her ears, and on the other side, it was the voice of the replica Xie Jiang Jiang calling her A-Yuan. Ji Heyuan felt that her head was about to explode.

She was finally awakened by this nightmare-like scene, and even when she suddenly sat up from the bed, Ji Heyuan was still chanting “Stop shouting, stop shouting” in her mouth.

It took her a long time to completely come back to her senses, but even so, Ji Heyuan still didn’t dare to look at Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang’s eyes, for fear of revealing her thoughts.

She doubted anyone would believe her; it was truly too unbelievable.

Ji Heyuan even wanted to post on the emotional forum.

What is it like to dream that you and your sister-in-law become a couple?

It was also because of that magical dream last night that Ji Heyuan not only didn’t dare to face Jiang Jiang, but even didn’t plan to reply to Zheng Zhouzhou’s message.

It must be because Zheng Zhouzhou constantly mentioned Jiang Jiang, making Ji Heyuan subconsciously perceive a negative relationship between them, leading to such a bizarre dream.

Anyway, it’s definitely not because I have any thoughts about Xie Jiang Jiang!

Ji Heyuan muttered in her heart, but she still had to show a stiff smile on her face. She forcibly changed the subject and said, “How did you two sleep last night?”

Jiang Jiang stopped talking immediately. She glanced at Ji Xu’an, and the hands on her legs shrunk unconsciously, gently grasping the hem of her clothes.

Ji Xu’an caught a glimpse of this scene with her peripheral vision, and the fingertips on the steering wheel moved. She pursed her lips and didn’t speak.

The three of them rode in silence for the rest of the journey. It wasn’t until the car stopped that Ji Heyuan jolted awake and quickly got out of the car.

“Well.” Ji Heyuan rubbed her palms, “Sister, anyway, you’re not in a hurry to go to work, why don’t you send Xie Jiang Jiang to the classroom?”

She really didn’t have the courage to help Jiang Jiang now. Ji Heyuan needed enough time to forget that dream.

Fortunately, Ji Xu’an didn’t ask much. She put her arm around Jiang Jiang’s shoulder, and almost half-hugged the person into the classroom.

Jiang Jiang relaxed against Ji Xu’an. Their hands were clasped tightly, their body temperatures mingling, their heartbeats syncing.

Jiang Jiang’s classmates had seen Ji Heyuan, but it was the first time they had seen Ji Xu’an. The mature elite temperament on Ji Xu’an made everyone a little afraid to talk to her, but everyone’s eyes more or less stayed on her for a while.

After Ji Xu’an sent Jiang Jiang to the classroom, she didn’t leave immediately, but took her cup to help her get water.

When she stood in front of the water dispenser, someone suddenly called her.

“Xu’an.”

Ji Xu’an recognized the voice of the person who came. She turned her head and nodded to Wen Xueyun, “Good morning.”

Wen Xueyun looked at the familiar thermos cup in her hand, and the smile on her lips couldn’t help but fade a little, “Sending your girlfriend to class?”

“Yeah.” Ji Xu’an took half a cup of hot water, and added some cold water to it, the temperature was just right.

Wen Xueyun couldn’t believe Ji Xu’an would do such thoughtful things for others. The Ji Xu’an she knew was always cold and distant. She spoke to people, but had no close friends, maintaining a distance from everyone.

Wen Xueyun believed that if it wasn’t because Ji Heyuan and Jiang Jiang both applied to S University, and she happened to work at S University, Ji Xu’an might not have remembered her at all.

Now, she had given up on Ji Xu’an, but watching someone get what she had dreamed of, Wen Xueyun still felt a bit bitter in her heart.

She quietly watched this scene. The Ji Xu’an in front of her seemed to be no different from the Ji Xu’an in her memory, still so cold and distant, but Wen Xueyun knew that something was different.

When Ji Xu’an thought of Jiang Jiang, her eyes were much gentler than before.

She sighed sincerely, “Xu’an, though I still have some regrets, I’m happy to see you’ve found someone you truly love.”

Ji Xu’an knew what Wen Xueyun’s regrets were, but she didn’t ask much. She was more interested in the second half of Wen Xueyun’s sentence.

“Do you think I… like Jiang Jiang very much?” Ji Xu’an hesitated.

Wen Xueyun frowned in confusion, “Hmm?”

What kind of question is this?

Could it be that Ji Xu’an didn’t actually like Jiang Jiang?

Wen Xueyun didn’t believe it was an act. Ji Xu’an’s kindness towards Jiang Jiang was genuine.

“How can outsiders truly understand matters of the heart? You already have the answer, haven’t you?” Wen Xueyun never expected she’d one day help the person she likes and love rival get together.

Ji Xu’an’s expression was very serious, and she seemed to be really humbly asking Wen Xueyun, “Do you think my liking for Jiang Jiang is the liking for a future partner?”

Wen Xueyun’s mood was particularly complicated, it was a feeling of bitterness mixed with a bit of amusement, “If you don’t like her, with your personality, would you do such caring things?”

She raised her chin, signaling Ji Xu’an to look at the thermos cup in her own hand.

Ji Xu’an tightened the fingers around the thermos cup, her voice was very light, not knowing whether she was replying to Wen Xueyun, or simply talking to herself.

“Is that so?”

While she was still confused and uncertain, others had already recognized her feelings for Jiang Jiang before she herself did?

Wen Xueyun sighed, she asked Ji Xu’an, “Xiao Yuan is also taking classes next door, did you get her water?”

Ji Xu’an was stunned.

Wen Xueyun spread out her hand, “See, Xiao Yuan is your own sister, yet you’re not so meticulous to her.”

Ji Xu’an was thoughtful, she nodded slightly to Wen Xueyun, and said sincerely, “Thank you, I understand, you take your time to get water, I’ll go first.”

Wen Xueyun paused, “I’ll go with you.”

She had already gotten the water just now, Ji Xu’an didn’t see it at all.

She and Ji Xu’an walked towards the classroom one after the other. Just as they reached the door, the two saw that there was another person next to Jiang Jiang at some point.

Because they were sitting in the first row, the conversation between the two was also clearly audible.

The young girl supported her chin and asked Jiang Jiang curiously, “Who was the person who sent you here just now? Is it your sister?”

Jiang Jiang didn’t find Ji Xu’an at the door, she curved her lips and showed a shy smile.

“No, she’s my fiancee.”
