The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 19 Grumpy and Hungry

"The only good thing that happened to her after her death is that I was able to possess her body." She beamed as she began to think If she should release the videos for everyone to watch in schadenfreude. After all, Lu Xinyi didn’t really succeed in her plans.

[If she succeeds, you would have failed in your mission, again.] Her system reminded her. [I suggest you deal with her as soon as possible.]

"You seem to be very adamant about having me create some drama." She responded. She was alone anyway, there’s no harm in talking to this robot outside of her head. "Are you perhaps... looking for some entertainment?"

The voice didn’t answer.

"Or maybe... will Lu Xinyi have some influence on the protagonist’s death?" she beamed. This system’s interest lies only in the protagonists of the world. Is it possible that the system only wants her to deal with Lu Xinyi because that woman will harm the lead soon?

[Overthinking will lead to disastrous consequences.] the voice said.

"Why don’t you just tell me about the plot? After all, I am doing a job for you. I should have the right to know what ought to happen. Only then so can I be able to counter the villain’s actions and prevent them from killing the protagonist!" She started grumbling. "You should at least tell me the names of the people that I should deal with! I don’t want to go in blindly. I fought against people irrelevant to the plot back then you know!"

As usual, silence followed her words. Just what did she expect from this unfair system? Laying on her bed, Li Yue chuckled before deciding to have some sleep. The night ended with Li Yue sleeping, exhausted at handling the manchild Mo Li and planning for her revenge against the woman who paid people to hurt her..

....

Since the final exams were just around the corner, everyone in the university had been very busy not only with studying but also with projects and end-year recitals. Just like everyone else in the university, Li Yue and her whole class had been given a lot of assignments involving final essays, presentations, and even theses.

This made Li Yue furious. She was not here to learn physics and trigonometry, alright? She was here to save the male lead from the hands of the villain.

’Stop complaining and study instead. As the second female lead, you are not allowed to show your real, dumb self.’ The system told her every time she asked it for a solution. Maybe something that could grant her photographic memory or maybe a magical library inside her head which stores every information or book she encounters. However, every time she mentions the topic, the robot voice would scold her and tell her to work hard instead.

In the end, Li Yue lowered her head in the library, trying to use her brain to solve the complex mathematical problems that she hated the most. Surprisingly, ever since Li Yue walked out of Mo Li’s house, the latter had completely stopped talking to her. In fact, he had stopped accompanying her for lunch.

This in turn made her laugh a peal of happy laughter. Who cares about that man’s rude behavior and moodiness?

"What are you doing, Fake Phoenix Yue? Studying for a scholarship?" Lu Xinyi’s shrill voice interrupted her line of thought as she walked out of the library. It was followed by some sneers and laughter.

Li Yue used her phone to check the time. It was already nine in the evening and Li Yue had spent most of her time in the library reading on history, trying to familiarize herself with as many things as possible for the essays in the final exams.

Too bad, she was not the original brilliant Li Yue. She was having a hard time memorizing history and is struggling to remember theorems for the exams. Moreover, she had completely forgotten dinner. Li Yue was not only grumpy about world history, but she was also very hungry. She glared at Lu Xinyi and her lackeys. All wearing their glorious high heels, click-clacking down the empty corridors as they approached her.

"What is it this time, Lu Xinyi?" she asked. "I’m not in the mood for a conversation." She said as she secretly pressed the record button of her phone. Just in case...

"I don’t know, Fake Phoenix Yue." Li Xinyi mimicked her irritated tone before she smiled, showing her perfectly sculpted teeth that must have cost thousands. "What are you doing here anyway? Pretending to study your ass off when all you did all day was flirt with the new guy?" She snickered. "What? Are you trying to impress Mo Li after Xia Jin dumped you?"

Seeing the pointlessness of the conversation, Li Yue turned her back and started walking away from the group. But how could Lu Xinyi allow such disrespect? Without having Li Yue take another step away from her, she grabbed Li Yue’s long hair that was tightly wrapped in a bun.

"How dare you walk away from me? I am still talking to you!" She tightened her grip on Li Yue’s hair before pulling her head to the ground.

Surprised at the other’s violent actions, Li Yue squealed.

’CRASH’

The loud sound of her belongings crashing on the tile along with her broke the silence of the corridor. It was followed by the girls’ laughter, some of them even went as far as kicking her while she was down.

"Dang it!" Li Yue hissed, she had never expected this woman to be this violent!

[I told you to burn her.] The robotic voice’s reminder only served to make her more irritated. [You didn’t heed my advice~]

Li Yue glared at Lu Xinyi as she immediately regretted the fact that she actually took a lot of time deliberating whether she should release what happened. Now that it turned out like this, all the social media sites she knew would have a new post soon.

’Good. Very Good!’ she thought inwardly. ’It seems that this woman is truly looking to die!’

"What are you going to do now, Fake Phoenix Yue?" Lu Xinyi laughed before kicking Li Yue’s phone on the ground, making it crash towards the wall. The impact was enough to completely destroy the phone’s internal structure. "Are you going to sue me, Fake Phoenix Yue?"
