Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 190 Ye Xinya 21

The stuffy feeling in her heart caused by jealousy and insecurity was too much for her to take. How could she not want to get rid of them so badly?

She might not be too different from the other girls since she was also quite materialistic and bound by family rules. However, she liked the guy not as the rich heir Nathan Zuckerberg, but as the liar Jing Mo, and the annoying fake tutor Jiang Li. This was why she felt indignant upon seeing those other girls suddenly taking interest in him just because he was actually a bigshot's son.

They did not see him as he was and had no plan to give him the attention and love he deserved. Why would she let them get near him?

With these in mind, even though she also really had no right, she decided to declare sovereignty upon Jing Mo, to chase away and discourage those planning to use him just so they could reach somewhere higher.

Lastly, she wanted to steal his first kiss. For this one, she was willing to sacrifice her first kiss too, just so she could leave a deep impression on him and maybe... just maybe... to enter even the shallowest crack in his heart.

Didn't novels and dramas often feature the mystery of this concept?

Before she thought those reference materials were very weird and dramatic and that her mother was correct to advise her to stay away from those. She only managed to browse a bit of those things online when her friends, the ones she had before her twin's death, strongly recommended some to her.

Out of courtesy, she checked those out but whether they be by chapters or episodes, she never went past the fifth one. She was okay with how the women acted there because women were indeed foolish when in love. But whenever she saw lovestruck men there, especially CEOs, people described as misogynic or those capable men with a dead-inside disease, she would end dropping the series.

Why? Because as a girl, it was hard for her to picture in her head that a person from the opposite sex could truly act so contrary to their original setting!

The most ridiculous part for her was that the characters were always from prominent families, no matter if it was historical or modern. They downplayed the role of arranged marriages as stupid stuff that always blocked the path of romance between a common girl and a cold, handsome man.

The impossibly sweet scenes there, the flower backgrounds and special effects that always appeared out of nowhere, the possessiveness and blind devotion of the male leads, and even second male leads, to the silly female protagonists... All of these never failed to make her wish she had no eidetic memory.

Imagine the torture, as long as she sees one such sight, or anything traumatic and unpleasant, it would be forever be imprinted in her mind, the most fatal disadvantages of having a photographic memory.

One of the most cringe-worthy scenes she had ever watched was about a high school boy who became helplessly and stupidly smitten by a girl just because she got his first kiss.

She remembered it was a drama series from five years ago that became a huge hit due to the stunning visuals of the actors and actresses there. However, the plot... was a huge puzzle for her.

Probably because she was not a hopeless romantic so she couldn't understand why a big boy could act like his world revolved around that girl just because their lips touched. Was she the only one who thinks it was very embarrassing?

How ironic that now she was hoping that something like that could truly happen in real life! She also was hoping that it could help her, not only shoo away the unwanted voracious stares, but imprint her image in his mind.

'Ah. I still can't tell if I just did the smartest thing ever, or the dumbest one...'

More than ten minutes already passed since then. Inside the car largely enveloped by darkness, Ye Xinya hugged her herself while lightly knocking her forehead on the headboard of the passenger in front. She didn't dare look at her left where the reason for her agitation was seated.

The young man was there, looking so comfortable browsing his phone while she was here, going crazy. She couldn't erase everything that happened earlier in her mind. Although she should be angry, the embarrassment was simply clouding her mind. Now she could relate a bit on how those people from the Jings felt earlier and understood why for people put to shame, wishing for the ground to eat them or the cause of their embarrassment was a natural reaction.

It didn't take long for them to finally arrive at the Ye's mansion. They were climbing up the long staircase, with her following behind him, when the thought crossed her mind.

'Why does it seem to me that he is not at all affected? I just kissed him! Why is he acting as if nothing happened or whatever had happened is not worth fussing over?'

When the realization hit her, the stares she was directing at his back turned sharper. She disliked it that she was the only one troubled with that matter and stressing over it.

Feeling the sudden hostility, Jiang Li turned around and frowned a bit since the girl did not attempt to hide from his eyes this time.

"What's the matter?"

There were only three steps until the second floor so she first crossed that before facing him. "Don't you have anything to say to me after what happened?"

"Oh?" He met her eyes while loosening his tie a bit. A placid look was on his face when he snorted and added, "I thought it's you who have to explain something. I'm not even forcing you to speak up. Yet... Tch."

She froze, face instantly reddened in shame. Why was her IQ not working when she asked that grave-digging question?

Jiang Li resumed walking, heading towards the left turn where his room, as the guest tutor of the girl, was.

Seeing him leaving just like that, she wanted to go after him, her mind telling her to just confess that she liked him. Wasn't he hinting for her to explain what she did earlier?

"Hey, I..." 

However, at the next moment, she stilled, the next words couldn't escape out of her lips. 

'Wait... Can I really say that? Especially if it would sound coincidental due to the revelation of his identity earlier?"

Her shout called his attention so he looked back, only to get puzzled upon seeing him looking like a lost lamb, with glazed eyes and slightly parted lips, while staring blankly ahead. "Hmm? You saying something?"

"...."

What could she say? She dejectedly wondered, eyelashes drooping downwards to hide the glazed look in her eyes. 

Seeing her hanging her head low, he grimaced. 'No reply?'

At times like this, he could truly confidently say that there were two types of people with thoughts unfathomable to normies - women and geniuses. The girl before her happened to belong to both.

Shaking his head, he tilted his head up then said, "By the way, earlier, you did something unnecessary..." 

Her heart dropped upon hearing that.

Yet a corner of his lips went up as he added, "After all, I was meaning to say that if you ask I think your parents will allow you to come with me abroad." His laughter then rang throughout the whole place.

Meanwhile, Ye Xinya stood there with a gaping mouth after realizing what he meant.

'He's okay bringing me abroad? Even though it will really tie my name with his?'

She wanted to hear some clarifications from him. Unfortunately, he had already walked away and entered his own room.
