Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

“Take me there, “An Xiulan said, holding up her arms.

Han Zixin rolled his eyes. “This doesn’t come under the functions covered by your best friend.”

“Huh?” She looked at him confused. “Are you not helping me with the bath?”

Han Zixin had an urge to knock some sense into her. What on earth was she thinking offering him this? He took a deep breath and told himself that she was drunk and didn’t know what she was saying. She was muddled up because of alcohol and he should not take her words seriously.

“If you want me to help you with the bath, you need to have the same last name as me, “Han Zixin commented and blood surged to her cheeks. Oh, someone knew what shyness was?

“I’m never marrying you, “She said to his face. She put her palms on her face and pouted. How could he say this to an innocent young woman like her? He should be ashamed, right?

“Sure, “He shrugged. “Next time if I see you drunk, I will call your driver and send you home.”

“Why would you do that?” An Xiulan genuinely asked. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

“What if my future wife doesn’t like a girl staying the night at my place?” Han Zixin questioned. “I have to think about the future too. After all, I can’t stay single for long. Yeye will force a bride on me sooner or later.”

An Xiulan glared at him and with shaky legs, she walked to the bathroom. She shut the door loudly and he chuckled from behind.

“How cute, “He said while walking to the kitchen. He heard the bell ring and knew that the chicken soup that he ordered was there. He let her sulk there and went to the living room to bring soup for her.

An Xiulan was annoyed for some reason and she was not even aware of it. She spends the entire bath cursing Han Zixin and his stupid bride. How could he marry a girl? Not like she was expecting him to marry Lu Xuan. But still…he was so young to even think about marriage. What kind of stupid girl would try to marry him so young?

She knew that talking bad about someone she had never met was a bad thing and she should not be doing this. So, she blamed it on her drunk self. Although her head was not as muddled up as before and she could open her eyes now, she still acted drunk. Why? Because he was taking care of her so gently and she was kinda liking it.

Pathetic, right?

She was sulking in the bathroom inside the bathtub. What was wrong with her? Shouldn’t she be happy that he was getting a bride? But who was the girl? What did she do? Did Yeye already find the girl? Did the girl look beautiful? Was the girl more pretty than her?

An Xiulan gasped. “Did I just compare myself with a random girl?”

This was not going well. She could tell. Her inferiority complex was rearing its stupid and ugly head again.

Thankfully, she brought her phone with her to the bathroom because if she didn’t, he would think she had drowned and died in the bathtub. Yes, that was how annoying he could get at times. But she kind like his overprotective behaviour.

She picked up her phone and dialled a number. As soon as her call got connected, she cried, “Yaoyao, Han Zixin said he is marrying another girl.”

“First of all, you deserve this, “Jiang Yao said with a nasty look. “Second of all, baby Xiu, I can see your boobies.”

An Xiulan’s eyes widened as she quickly placed her hand on her breast and adjusted the camera angle to only show her face.

“Are you jealous of that girl?” Jiang Yao asked without wasting any time.

“Why would I be?” An Xiulan said with a scoff. “I’m his best friend. Why would I be jealous of a random girl?”

Jiang Yao tsked. “Random girl? Baby Xiu, a wife is not a random woman. She is the closest person to a man. I get it that a best friend is important but a wife is a priority. Once he gets married, you can’t expect him to wake up in the middle of the night and talk to you just because you can’t sleep. Or you can’t jump on the plane and lie to your parents just to see him. Things are going to change and you have to accept it.”

Jiang Yao was trying to show the side of the relationship that An Xiulan had yet to see. Her words were sharp and bitter but true.

“Did you figure out something?” Jiang Yao said in a soft tone. “You are not jealous because your best friend is getting married. You are jealous because you can’t see the only man you liked go away from you.” Taking a deep breath she added, ” I tried to push you to Li Sicheng hoping you will realise a thing or two but you just proved that you are dumb when it comes to romance. Did you not realise anything when I asked you to describe what your type is? Gosh, even Han Nanxian was gloating for days.”

An Xiulan wobbled her lips. “You only know to scold me.”

Jiang Yao gaped at her. “Little lady, stop creating drama. I know what you are doing. I am not going to give in to you this time. If you like him, you will tell him and if you don’t, you will tell him this too. Stop giving him hope.”

“What kind of hope?” An Xiulan muttered.

A/N: Completing this month’s win-win challenge was the most difficult thing that I have ever done. I had to drop out of Win-Win of my other book and it made me so sad that day. I might have shed some tears too but I’m so glad that I was able to finish this book’s win-win. Now that I look behind, I think it’s good that I dropped out of that Book’s win-win or I would have just pushed myself to do the thing that my body can’t do. Can you believe I fell sick for 5th time this month? Me, neither! So, many family problems. University entrance tests. An unexpected trip to another state. Final year exams. I am in awe of myself, to be honest. I’m still alive. Hahaha!
