The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

Ever since the death of her parents, Nie Zhen'er has learned to be strong.
She already hasn’t shed tears due to sadness for the last two years, because there was no one to comfort her.

    In front of the gentle Luan Qing Xiao, Nie Zhen'er burst into tears.
In the past two years, this was the first time that she trusted a person so much that she could cry in front of her without worry.

    Nie Zhen'er cried for a long time, until finally her body began to cramp.

    Luan Qing Xiao noticed Nie Zhen'er's physical condition and quickly stopped her crying.

    Appropriate amounts of crying can help people vent their emotions, but too much crying can harm the body.

    Nie Zhen'er may faint if she had severe convulsions.

    “Okay, okay, look how swollen your eyes are.
You won’t be pretty anymore if your eyes are swollen.
Eh? Crying can’t solve any problems, and it can also harm your body.
Tell me, who bullied you? I'll help you out.” Luan Qing Xiao took out a soft piece of paper from the box and helped Nie Zhen'er dry the tears on her face.

    Nie Zhen'er sobbed and realized that her actions towards Luan Qing Xiao's were too intimate, causing her to take a step back, embarrassed.

    She knew Luan Qing Xiao was right and tried to forget the grievances and sorrows she had.
She blinked her crying red almond eyes, “I went to the Academic Affairs Office to ask about the conditions for transferring from A University to X University for her.” Yet, when she opened her mouth, what she said had nothing to do with her own grievances.

    Luan Qing Xiao didn't mention it either.
She followed Nie Zhen'er's words and asked, “Is it difficult? Do I meet the conditions?”

    Because Nie Zhen'er cried for a long time, she lost a lot of water.
Feeling the dryness of her mouth, she took a sip of rose tea on the coffee table and her mouth was instantly filled with a fragrant fragrance.

    She set down the cup and her right hand on the palm of her left hand.
Seeing the expectation in Luan Qing Xiao's eyes, Nie Zhen’er showed a reluctant smile.
“It's not difficult, you only have to provide your A University's transcript.”

’
    “It's that simple? Don't I need to take the exam?” Luan Qing Xiao asked in surprise.

    Nie Zhen'er replied, “There’s no need for the exam.
The examination of the graduation thesis is extremely strict.
To enter X University is not difficult, but it is highly difficult to graduate from X University.
Even if you enter X University through improper means, if you don’t properly study there, it is likely that you won’t be able to graduate and earn a degree certificate.
The admission score for A University is similar to that of X University and the difficulty of the usual exams are also equivalent.
Therefore, it’s okay as long as you pass A University’s score.
Whether you’ll be able to graduate successfully in the future or not is all up to you.”

    “I'll contact A University’s counselor to send me the transcript right now.” Luan Qing Xiao raised her wrist to find the contact information of the “counselor” aka the [Seizing Star] pirate and sent a text message to ask him to get an A University transcript for herself.

    The other side quickly sent an “OK” emoticon.

    After Luan Qing Xiao did this, she earnestly said to Nie Zhen'er.
“Now we’re done talking about me, can you tell me why you were sad? I am someone you can trust, right?”

    Nie Zhen'er nodded without hesitation.
Although the two of them had only known each other for two or three days, Nie Zhen'er always had a feeling they had known each other for a long time.
When she interacted with Luan Qing Xiao, she was always extremely comfortable and happy.
Even if she didn't understand the girl in front of her, Nie Zhen'er still had an inexplicable trust in her.

    She believed in her heart that Luan Qing Xiao wouldn’t harm her.

    Nie Zhen'er was silent for a moment.
Her face was gloomy as she said sullenly, “When I went to the Academic Affairs Office to help you ask about the transfer, the teaching director mentioned my promotion as a lecturer with a deliberately awkward expression on his face.
This time, there’s only one spot for the promotion.
I’m guessing the director is telling me that it’s over for me and I won’t get the promotion.”

    Luan Qing Xiao gently took Nie Zhen'er's hand and comforted gently, “All of this is just your speculation, isn't it? And you guessed it’s over for you only by the director’s expression and one sentence.
Isn’t it too arbitrary? Did you hear something from others?”

    Nie Zhen'er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao in shock, “How do you know everything? That’s amazing.”

    Then she continued, “I only overheard others discussing it when I went to the bathroom.
One of the teaching assistants of X University named Sang Er is a relative of the teaching director and also some people accidentally saw the chat log between Sang Er and the director: Sang Er had transferred one hundred thousand credits to the teaching director as a bribe to take my spot.”

    “I thought it was just gossip at the time, the teaching director couldn't do this kind of thing.
Who knew… …” Nie Zhen'er lowered her head.

’

    “They said Sang Er took your spot.
Doesn’t it mean that you’re the most conscientious and perform the best among the several teaching assistants?” Luan Qing Xiao asked.

    Nie Zhen'er wasn’t modest in this respect, “I am very hard-working, just to be an independent university lecturer.
I have talked to Professor Zhang and he said when the professors were discussing, they all felt that among the several teaching assistants, my performance was the best.
The other teaching assistants also knew what the professors thought, so that’s why they thought Sang Er had robbed me of my spot as a promotion to lecturer.”

    Suddenly, Luan Qing Xiao laughed.
“In everyone's eyes, you’re the most outstanding.
So why should you be afraid of the teaching director?”

    Nie Zhen'er didn't understand Luan Qing Xiao's meaning, she blinked her eyes.
“Because the school’s positions are reported by the director… …”

    “She is only responsible for reporting it, then who approves the decision?” Luan Qing Xiao asked the key question.

    Nie Zhen'er opened her mouth slightly, “It's the Education Bureau of Planet X… …”

    Her red almond eyes shone, “Right, that's how it is!”

    Luan Qing Xiao pointed out, “You always thought the teaching director could cover the sky with one hand, but she actually isn’t anything much.”

    “En!” Nie Zhen'er nodded with a slight smile on her face, “Professor Zhang's classmate is the director of Planet X’s Education Bureau, maybe I can ask Professor Zhang for help.”

    Luan Qing Xiao couldn't help but squeeze her little nose, “In fact, there is an easier way.
Do you want to know? Instead of letting you owe Professor Zhang a favor, how about you owe me a favor?”

    Nie Zhen'er’s eyes widened, “There’s an easier way? What is it?”

’
    “Are you sure you want to owe me a favor?” Luan Qing Xiao asked her.

    Nie Zhen'er responded without hesitation, “I'm sure, Qing Xiao, quickly tell me.”

    Choose someone from Professor Zhang and Luan Qing Xiao for help, of course she would choose Luan Qing Xiao.

    Watching her cute appearance of intently staring at herself, she said with a smile, “You don't need to owe me a favor, seeing how you helped me ask about transferring schools.”

    Just as Luan Qing Xiao wanted to tell her her plan, she suddenly thought of something.
“I don't feel comfortable about you implementing this plan by yourself.
Tomorrow, I’ll go to X University with you.”

    Nie Zhen'er stated, “I won't delay your affairs, would I?” She really didn't expect Luan Qing Xiao to care so much about her matters and couldn’t be more moved.

    Luan Qing Xiao assured, “If I need to take the exam for transfer, I would have to review it at home.
But I don't need to take it now, so I basically have nothing to do before transferring to X University.”

    With Luan Qing Xiao comforting Nie Zhen'er and successfully making Nie Zhen'er laugh with a joke, Nie Zhen'er's mood relaxed, causing her tiredness to surge.
Soon she couldn't open her eyes due to the sleepiness.
Yet, she still wanted to chat with Luan Qing Xiao and didn’t want to go to bed.
Luan Qing Xiao could only make her voice more gentle.
Under Luan Qing Xiao’s “hypnotic sound,” Nie Zhen'er finally fell asleep.

    Nie Zhen'er leaned on the back of the sofa and raised her left hand to support her small head.
After falling asleep, her head swayed side-to-side.
Luan Qing Xiao quickly put her shoulders next to Nie Zhen'er's head for her to fall against.

    She looked down and watched Nie Zhen'er's black eyelashes, thin pink eyelids, perk nose, and soft lips, causing a gentle smile to appear on her face.

    Luan Qing Xiao motionlessly let Nie Zhen'er lean on her shoulders.
Once she was sure that Nie Zhen'er wouldn’t wake up easily, she slowly lifted Nie Zhen'er's head and lifted Nie Zhen'er horizontally with both hands.

    Probably because the original owner was the leader of the interstellar pirates, her physical strength was quite strong.
It only took less than thirty percent of her strength to pick up Nie Zhen'er to steadily hold the person in her embrace.

’

    Luan Qing Xiao moved carefully.
Nie Zhen'er showed no signs of waking up.

    The last time Luan Qing Xiao came to Nie Zhen'er's house, she only ate a meal in her house and had never visited Nie Zhen'er's bedroom.

    She didn't know which room Nie Zhen'er lived in, so she could only guess based on the structure of the house next-door.

    After she recognized the master bedroom and the second bedroom, she pushed open the door of the second bedroom without hesitation and walked in with the sleeping Nie Zhen'er.

    When Luan Qing Xiao saw the furnishings in the room, she knew that she had not guessed wrong: Nie Zhen'er did live here.

    This was originally a happy family of three.
Nie Zhen'er's parents lived in the master bedroom, and Nie Zhen'er, whose parents loved her, lived in the second bedroom.
Nie Zhen'er was a sentimental girl.
Once her parents pass away, she definitely still won’t move to the room where her parents used to live.
Therefore, Luan Qing Xiao could be sure which room Nie Zhen'er's bedroom was in.

    She walked to the bed and carefully set Nie Zhen'er on the bed.
Then, Luan Qing Xiao turned on the cold air circulation system in the room before covering Nie Zhen'er with a thin blanket.

    After Nie Zhen'er was laid down on the bed, she automatically buried half of her face under the blanket.
Luan Qing Xiao was afraid that she would suffocate, so she pulled the blanket down to tuck it under her chin.

    When Luan Qing Xiao retracted her hand, her finger accidentally touched Nie Zhen'er's cheek.
Nie Zhen'er's skin was sensitive and probably felt ticklish which caused his body to tremble slightly.

    Luan Qing Xiao watched her pink lips actually bend faintly as she smiled in her sleep.

    “What good dreams are you having, huh?” Luan Qing Xiao laughed.

    She leaned down and dropped a soft kiss on Nie Zhen'er's forehead, whispering softly, “Baby, I wish your dreams to come true.”
