She was focused on the main character when she was reading the book, so she wouldn't have paid attention to a cannon fodder female supporting character.
Now that I think about it carefully, what did the original owner of Su Qianqian do to Jiang Cuo in the book? That's why she turned herself into a cannon fodder who courted death.
liquor……
Something suddenly flashed through Su Qianqian's mind.
No wonder she remembered it last night.
The most endearing and unexpected thing about Jiang Cuo is that he becomes disoriented and weak after drinking alcohol.
So the impression is that Su Qianqian, the cannon fodder female supporting character in the original book, couldn't stand Jiang Cuo's cold and aloof demeanor.
This shattered her sense of superiority as a young lady, so she used various methods to try and make Jiang Cuo grovel before her.
Moreover, in the original book, Su Qianqian was unruly and arrogant, never thinking before she acted. In the end, she listened to someone and got Jiang Cuo drunk with red wine.
This was the moment that truly enraged Jiang Cuo.
Although Jiang Cuo is not the female lead, as the main female antagonist, she also possesses the protagonist's aura in the book.
Thus, Su Qianqian's character in the book disappeared from the story, only surviving the first three chapters.
What made such a deep impression on Su Qianqian was that Jiang Cuo, who would later become successful, would seek revenge on her.
Finally, it was only briefly mentioned that Su Qianqian squandered her family fortune, became impoverished, abandoned by everyone, and left in a lonely state.
Based on Su Qianqian's intuition, she transmigrated into the world of the book. Even though she changed the original owner's perspective on the plot, the major plot points that were supposed to happen would still occur.
We still need to be careful these next few days.
...
Su Lian had already poured the 1982 Lafite from the wine cabinet into a similar beverage bottle, and fearing it wouldn't be strong enough, she added 1/3 of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
She dared not add too much, fearing that the color would become too light and Jiang Cuo would notice.
The students waited until noon before going to the cafeteria for lunch.
To save money, Jiang Cuo ate the cheapest boxed meals from the cafeteria. Suddenly, a classmate came over and handed her a drink, saying it was a gift from Su Qianqian.
To prevent anything from happening, Su Qianqian didn't eat her own lunch. Instead, she sat at the table next to Jiang Cuo and kept a close eye on him.
Jiang glanced at Su Qianqian, then silently accepted the drink.
Su Qianqian finished her lunch without any appetite, and her stare at Jiang Cuo made his eyes hurt. As soon as Jiang Cuo left, she followed him out.
Unexpectedly, on the way, she only looked down to jot down her shoelaces, and when she looked up again, she lost track of them.
She assumed Jiang Cuo had gone back to the classroom and didn't think much of it. Unexpectedly, a classmate came along and told her that Jiang Cuo had gone to the lounge.
Su Qianqian: ?
He was perfectly fine, so why would he go to the lounge?
Su Qianqian didn't intend to believe the stranger's face, but the girl grabbed her arm and forcibly dragged her away.
Su Qianqian had already roughly anticipated this.
She could only reluctantly let the man take her there.
When they arrived, Su Qianqian realized that this was not a rest room at all, but clearly an equipment room.
Then the man forcefully opened the door, pushed Su Qianqian inside, and locked the door from the inside.
Seriously? Even if someone is over 18, you can't do this.
Su Qianqian could already smell it; it was a faint, sweet and spicy aroma of alcohol.
She turned around, intending to force the door open, when she heard a low growl behind her, suppressed anger, gritted teeth, and laced with muffled groans, "Su... Qian... Qian."
Chapter Nineteen
The equipment room was closed and had no windows. The dimly lit room was only illuminated by a few slivers of light coming through the crack in the doorway.
Jiang Cuo's angry, clenched voice sent a chill down Su Qianqian's spine, making her scalp tingle.
And her right eyelid is twitching badly right now.
Even now, Su Qianqian is facing away from Jiang Cuo.
You could feel Jiang Cuo's anger rising, making the air conditioning in the dimly lit equipment room even more intense.
Su Qianqian was starting to regret it.
She was so wronged. Why did she have to make such a fuss?
If that girl hadn't pulled her in, would she have avoided this awkward situation?
This time, she's truly a piece of rotten mud, impossible to clear her name even if she wasn't excreted.
[Waste System: Warm reminder, if the host is alone with Jiang Cuo and the resulting ambiguous photos are spread due to the angle, it will affect the stability of the system world. Please find and destroy the miniature camera.]
The system has marked the miniature camera with a red dot and disconnected the host from the equipment room's wireless network.
Su Qianqian could only clench her molars, lower her head, and stiffly turn around.
Su Qianqian didn't dare to look up and stare directly at Jiang Cuo's bright red eyes in the darkness.
[Waste System: It won't do if the host doesn't come. According to this waste system's analysis, if the host doesn't come, others might falsely accuse the host of doing this.]
They will also post what the miniature camera records online, making it truly impossible for the host to clear their name.
However, once the host arrives, the system can help the host disconnect the network, preventing others from obtaining the photos and thus leaving no substantial evidence.
It can also increase the host's contact with Jiang Cuo.
Despite saying that, Su Qianqian's legs were still trembling slightly.
Because she clearly sensed Jiang Cuo's mistake, her anger was now somewhat uncontrollable.
"Um... Jiang, are you alright?"
As soon as Su Qianqian finished speaking, a muffled groan came from a corner.
Jiang Cuo swayed unsteadily, clutching a wooden frame from the building materials room, but could no longer support himself and collapsed onto the scattered pieces of furniture.
As Jiang Cuo slid down, Su Qianqian immediately spotted the red dot behind him, which was a miniature camera.
Upon seeing this, Su Qianqian quickly stepped forward.
However, to attach the miniature camera, one must go around Jiang Cuo. But Jiang Cuo is surrounded by wooden frames on both sides, and the space is cramped. To remove the miniature camera, one can only hug Jiang Cuo and then reach behind it.
However, Jiang Cuo's gaze made it impossible for her to go forward, so she could only squat in place.
Su Qianqian could only catch a glimpse of Jiang Cuo's expression through a sliver of light peeking through the crack in the equipment room door.
The light there shone softly on Jiang Cuo's face, giving his pale, bloodless face a touch of warmth.
Jiang Cuo's eyes were red at this moment. Her phoenix eyes, which were naturally upturned at the corners, made her eyes look as alluring as a fox. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye added to her charm.
Unfortunately, his expression was too cold and his gaze too sharp, making people hesitate to approach him.
Otherwise, she would truly be seen as a cold and aloof female strategist, but instead she became a wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country.
"Jiang, if I said I really didn't know anything about this and that I was forcibly brought here, would you believe me?"
Jiang Cuo's chest heaved with each breath, his slender fingers gripping the wooden frame tightly, the veins on his hands bulging as if he were trying his best to suppress something.
How can you expect me to believe you?
Jiang Cuo's cold voice rang out, each word spoken with a panting breath and a faint, almost imperceptible, hot breath.
"Does Miss Su dislike me so much that she wants to ruin me? I really don't know what I have done to deserve such an eyesore from Miss Su?"
Jiang Cuo was radiating coldness, preventing Su Qianqian from getting close. He was on high alert, ready to prick her whenever Su Qianqian approached.
However, Su Qianqian was not intimidated by Jiang Cuo's aggressive words. On the contrary, she could see the helplessness and vulnerability hidden in Jiang Cuo's cold eyes.
As if possessed, Su Qianqian slowly walked up to Jiang Cuo, then half-squatted down, keeping her eye level with Jiang Cuo's, so as not to appear superior to him while standing.
Then she reached out and silently grasped Jiang Cuo's hand, which was gripping the wooden frame tightly.
The wooden frame was rough, and some sawdust had already pierced Jiang Cuo's palm, causing specks of blood to seep out.
Su Qianqian held Jiang Cuo's slightly cool hand tightly.
“Jiang Cuo, what I told you in the bathroom yesterday was all true. I really don’t know who did this today. I was forcibly dragged here.”
When Jiang Cuo was held by Su Qianqian, he trembled all over, and the cold air around him seemed to pause for a moment, with a slight downward trend.
But her eyes still held a stubbornness, a cold indifference, as she stared intently into Su Qianqian's eyes.
Even after Su Qianqian finished speaking, Jiang Cuo's expression was still full of disbelief.
"Dragged here by someone? Could someone force Miss Su to do something she doesn't want to do?"
"Can't you just shake off someone who's grabbing you? Then why didn't Miss Su go to her own food cart to eat today, but stayed in the cafeteria and sat next to me, staring at me the whole time? Wasn't that drink something you had someone give me?"
Jiang Cuo was seething with anger. After drinking the alcoholic beverage, her mind was foggy, so she placed her hand on the wooden shelf next to her and clenched it tightly, trying to use the pain to clear her head.
Jiang Cuo's anger also stemmed from her own feelings. If she hadn't trusted Su Qianqian too much, and if Su Qianqian hadn't looked at her with that strange gaze back then...
She wouldn't drink the beverage that the stranger offered.
It was all because she mistakenly thought that it was a gift from Su Qianqian.
She never trusted people easily, but this time, she clearly lowered her standards and wanted to give it a try, but fate played such a cruel joke on her.
She was completely powerless and was dragged to a dark and enclosed equipment room. She had no idea what awaited her now that she was powerless to resist.
The moment Su Qianqian's voice and figure appeared before her eyes, Jiang Cuo didn't know what to feel. For a moment, she felt relieved, but then anger surged up again. If it weren't for Su Qianqian, how could she have ended up in such a predicament, in such an embarrassing situation?
She saw it all.
Jiang Cuo bit her lower lip.
What would Su Qianqian think of her? Would she laugh at her for being fooled by such a simple trick?
Su Qianqian was the least certain who had done what happened today, but she felt that Su Lian was definitely involved.
She noticed Jiang Cuo's self-destructive behavior, which is why she took Jiang Cuo's hand and held it in hers.
They tried to comfort Jiang Cuo.
