The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 44, Pure Campus Love



Luan Qing Xiao opened the door for Li Li. Li Li entered the apartment with a bag of takeout food. When she didn't see Nie Zhen'er, she asked, "Is Zhen'er still not awake?"



Luan Qing Xiao smiled, "She’s awake, just too shy to come out."    Li Li was puzzled, "Didn't we meet this morning, why would she be embarrassed?"    Once she set the food on the dining table, Nie Zhen'er couldn't hide from her anymore. She slowly edged out of the bedroom.    Nie Zhen'er appeared embarrassed and covered her mouth with one hand. After seeing Li Li, she greeted her in a soft voice, which was muffled in the palm of her hand. It sounded a little stifled,  “Li jie, good afternoon."    Li Li waited for her to sit down before handing her a pair of chopsticks, "What happened to Zhen'er's mouth?"    When Nie Zhen'er heard this, her cheeks flushed as she snuck a sideway glance at Luan Qing Xiao.    Li Li turned her attention to Luan Qing Xiao. Luan Qing Xiao smiled, "Li jie is not an outsider, so you don't need to hide it. Besides, if you cover your mouth, how will you be able to eat?"    Knowing that she couldn't cover her mouth all day, Nie Zhen'er finally removed her hand from her mouth.     Nie Zhen'er's original pink and tender lips were swollen and slightly chapped. Li Li had more experience than them, and naturally knew why a girl's lips would become like this.    "Zhen’er, you," Li Li looked stunned.    Could there still be a man currently in the apartment?    Luan Qing Xiao brought Nie Zhen'er's hand up to her mouth for a peck, "Li jie, there was no one else here in the morning, only Zhen'er and me. Is there even a need to guess who, it had to be my doing."    Immediately, Li Li's mouth was shocked open into an O shape. ly, she had seen two girls together in Country M, and even a marriage, but she never expected Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er to have that kind of relationship.    "Does President Yu know?" Li Li asked after calming down.    If President Yu doesn't know, then as President Yu's assistant, should she tell her?    Li Li’s mind became slightly conflicted.    Luan Qing Xiao saw her concerns and smiled in response. "Li jie, of course my mother knows."    Li Li relaxed, but the chopsticks in Nie Zhen'er's hand fell on the table with a clang.    "Qing Xiao, you told your mother about the two of us?" Her almond eyes were wide round, and filled with disbelief.    "Yeah, pretty early on."    Nie Zhen'er clasped her hands tight together. Her eyelashes trembled like a fluttering butterfly, "Then did your mother object when she found out?"    She tried her best to keep herself from being nervous, but she couldn't. Ms. Yu was Luan Qing Xiao's mother. If they want to be together successfully, they must gain her consent.    "How could she be against it with Zhen’er, you being so likeable." Luan Qing Xiao gave Nie Zhen'er a piece of the garlic and oyster sauce broccoli. "Try this, this dish is delicious."    Nie Zhen'er picked up the chopsticks again and placed the broccoli in her mouth in a daze. After hearing Luan Qing Xiao's words, she felt incredulous that Luan Qing Xiao's mother didn't object to them!    Then she thought of Xue Man. She didn't know what Xue Man would think when she learned about Luan Qing Xiao and her.    Luan Qing Xiao was the one who accompanied her out of the hardships. In Nie Zhen'er's heart, Luan Qing Xiao was much more important than Xue Man, so even if Xue Man opposes, Nie Zhen'er would never compromise because of her.    She loves Luan Qing Xiao and wants to live with her for the rest of her life. No one can make them separate except death.    Li Li's acceptance skill was exceptional. By the time the meal was over, she had already adapted to Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er being intimate in front of her.    She cleared the table in a stupor and put the dishes in the dishwasher numbly. When she walked into the living room, she saw Luan Qing Xiao applying lip gloss on Nie Zhen'er. The two of them looked at each other and smiled from time to time while being surrounded by pink bubbles. It was already late summer, but Li Li felt as if spring had not yet left.    When single dogs encounter other people showing affection, they were either envious or jealous.    Since Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were okay with the decoration style of the bedroom, after she accompanied Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er for clothes shopping in the afternoon, Li Li left and flew to Country M the next day.    The good times always pass quickly. Unknowingly, it was the beginning of a school season for Q University.    Luan Qing Xiao had already applied for off-campus accommodation for Nie Zhen'er and herself before the start of school. However at the beginning of the semester, freshmen needed to join two weeks of military training and all the students had to live on campus. Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er could only be parted temporarily for two weeks .    Their two majors were on different areas of the campus, quite some distance apart.    Luan Qing Xiao could only squeeze in some time with Nie Zhen'er in the cafeteria during dinner time.    On the first day of military training, many girls were uncomfortable and complained they were either tired or it was too difficult for them. Some even paid to go to the hospital for a sick leave slip to escape military training.    While Luan Qing Xiao ate the food served in the cafeteria, she took a close look of Nie Zhen'er's face to find that her complexion was ruddy, her eyes were bright, and her expression was not as languid as the other girls. She asked, "The first day today, what did you guys do? Was it tiring?"    Nie Zhen'er shook her head, "I didn't feel tired after standing in the military posture for the entire day. How about you?"    Luan Qing Xiao said, "I also stood in the military posture for the day. I wasn’t tired, but my feet do kinda ache."    "I stuffed a box of foot soaking powder in your bag. Go soak your feet tonight, and it’ll be fine the next day. If you feel the soles of your shoes are too hard, you can use a pad to make it much more comfortable. Many boys do this. "Nie Zhen'er tweeted, like a happy little lark.    Luan Qing Xiao was almost done eating, so she put down her chopsticks. She rested her chin on her palm and watched Zhen’er as the expression on her face became more and more gentle.    She will never get tired of such a lovely girl like her.    "Hello, is there anyone sitting here?" Someone walked over to break the warm atmosphere between the two.    Luan Qing Xiao raised her head and cast her gaze over. It was a boy, tall, good-looking, and had his eyes fixated on Nie Zhen'er without blinking.    Luan Qing Xiao furrowed her brows and replied unhappily,  "What are you looking at?"    The boy's face turned red, "N-nothing much."    The boy had anticipated Nie Zhen'er would look up at him. But after hearing his voice, Nie Zhen'er didn't look up and continued eating seriously while her small cheeks were puffed like a cute little hamster.    The boy thought she was so cute that he couldn't help asking, "This classmate, can I sit in the seat next to you?"    Then he raised his hand to tap Nie Zhen'er's shoulder.    Nie Zhen'er raised her head and replied to the boy's expectant gaze, "Sure, there’s no one sitting there."    Before the boy had a chance to react to the answer, Nie Zhen'er had already put down her chopsticks. She stood up and linked arms with Luan Qing Xiao, "I’m so full, let's head to the pond for a stroll."    With the little steamed buns which were nurtured slightly bigger by her rubbed against her arm, Luan Qing Xiao didn’t have the mind to be jealous. Half of her body turned numb and her brain became muddled. Before she realized it, the words had already been blurted out, "Okay."    Leaving behind the dumbfounded boy, Nie Zhen'er pulled Luan Qing Xiao away from the cafeteria for a walk by the pond.    It’s only the first day of military training, and many people kept most of their strengths. After the day of military training, they still have the power to wander around the beautiful campus.    Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were among them.    Luan Qing Xiao kept thinking about the boy who just hit up with Nie Zhen'er, and questioned Nie Zhen'er, "What do you think of that person just now?"    Nie Zhen'er was taken aback for a moment, "Which person?" She kept her head down and focused on eating back in the cafeteria, so she didn’t remember who she had met.    Luan Qing Xiao's slightly stiff face softened. It was undeniable that she was pleased by Nie Zhen'er's words.    The boy just now evoked Luan Qing Xiao's sense of crisis. ly, there was only one Liang Yan in Sheng Jia High who had feelings for Nie Zhen'er, which made her neglect Nie Zhen'er's attractiveness to boys.​
