The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 5

The scorching heat of summer still clung to the earth as Ji Xiao observed Wei Qingyu's retreating figure, sensing a slight hesitance in her gait.

As the car passed by Wei Qingyu, a gentle breeze lifted the edge of the girl's skirt, revealing a reddish-brown scab on her knees.

It was a reminder of the injury inflicted by the original owner, an injury that hadn't yet healed, yet Wei Qingyu was now walking to school once again.

Ji Xiao couldn't simply ignore her and let her go like this. She promptly instructed the driver in front, "Stop."

The driver responded promptly, bringing the car to a steady halt. Ji Xiao leaned against the car window as Wei Qingyu approached.

With a lifted chin, Ji Xiao addressed her, "Get in the car."

A flicker of suspicion danced in Wei Qingyu's eyes, causing her to pause, seemingly unwilling to comply.

Ji Xiao had grown accustomed to their interactions over these days. She leaned back in her seat, playing the role of a nonchalant rich kid, and quipped, "I'm in a good mood today. Hurry up."

Her tone carried a hint of impatience, as if she had spontaneously decided to offer a ride, almost as if her conscience had reluctantly come to the fore.

Wei Qingyu hesitated briefly, evaluating the situation. She ultimately deemed it a relatively harmless move and opened the door to the front passenger seat, taking her place inside.

Ji Xiao found herself both surprised and relieved by Wei Qingyu's decision, a sense of gratification washing over her. Even though Wei Qingyu was entering the car, she wasn't seating herself in the back row, allowing Ji Xiao to feel a small triumph for escaping the torment of the back seat.

Wei Qingyu's arrival introduced an unusual silence to the already tranquil car. She sat upright, exuding an air of elegance and confidence that belied her age. Her erect posture emphasized her slender frame beneath her pristine white school uniform, while her long hair draped over her back, an ethereal waterfall of black silk. The overall effect was one of loneliness, like a solitary maple leaf clinging to a cliffside, bathed in the warm glow of the sun.

The car's air conditioning emitted a gentle breeze scented with mint, which swept across Ji Xiao. As she observed the receding urban landscape through the window, her thoughts wandered, pondering the reasons behind the original owner's hostility toward Wei Qingyu.

Ji Xiao couldn't help but reflect on the apparent lack of wisdom in her current state. Unlike other transmigrated individuals who might inherit new talents or abilities, she was without any such advantage, not even retaining the original owner's memories.

A faint sigh escaped her lips as Ji Xiao ruminated on her circumstances.

Wei Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly at the sound, briefly locking with Ji Xiao's gaze through the rearview mirror. Her gaze held an inscrutable depth, hinting at the hidden turmoil within her.

However, Wei Qingyu soon averted her gaze, allowing her eyes to lower once more.

The car smoothly pulled up at the entrance of the High School that Ji Xiao and Wei Qingyu attended. Although a public institution, the school had garnered a reputation as a gathering place for affluent families in City A.

Even now, many students were being chauffeured to school by private drivers, while only a few, like Wei Qingyu, carried their own schoolbags.

Numerous cars were already parked along the entrance, forming a lengthy queue.

Ji Xiao, assuming she was about to exit the car, began to gather her belongings. However, the driver continued to drive, veering toward the nearest school gate.
