Chapter 2 — Translating into the Male Lead's Practical Girlfriend

4
The next day, Giang Yen An actually took me out to eat steak. Halfway through eating, suddenly a girl walked over. She dressed delicately and looked beautiful. As soon as she saw Giang Yen An, her eyes immediately lit up. Oh, the female lead To Nhu Yen is here. In the original work, this episode is the female protagonist going out to eat. I accidentally caught me bullying the male lead in the middle of a restaurant. She couldn't help but stand up and defend her, but instead she was insulted by me in front of everyone. Thanks to that, the male protagonist began to realize my cruel nature
feel gratitude towards the female lead. Sure enough, when To Nhu Yen's eyes turned to me, her eyebrows immediately frowned. This is a Western-style restaurant, the prices are not cheap. Therefore, Giang Yen An only ordered a portion of steak. As for me, I was picking up the food, criticizing the bad food, and blaming him for choosing a bad restaurant.
"Yen An, is this your girlfriend? This is my first time meeting her."
To Nhu Yen said hello, then deliberately raised her voice to chat with her friends:
"Yen An works so hard, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the heart to let him sit and watch me eat alone."
"That's right, the cold male god of our school has a girlfriend with such a bad temper? Fortunately, she looks okay."
"I bet they won't last long, sooner or later they will break up. Yen An definitely can't stand her, she's not worthy at all."
As soon as I heard those words, I immediately got mad, stood up, grabbed a glass of water and threw it straight over.
"You guys are so talkative, what does it have to do with you guys? Should I eat at your house?"
To Nhu Yen was splashed with water, screamed, and was as wet as a rat. Having lost face in front of the crowd, she immediately became angry. He quickly walked over and raised his hand to slap me hard. I had been waiting for this situation, immediately rolled up my sleeves, preparing to strike first. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a shadow suddenly blocked in front of me. A hand grabbed my wrist, pulling me behind my back. Giang Yen An's face was cold as she turned towards the group of people opposite.
distant voice:
"It's not our turn for outsiders to interfere."
Being publicly refuted by the person she liked, To Nhu Yen's face immediately turned pale. But she still didn't give up, she tried to struggle, looked at me and shouted:
“Yen An, you are so excellent, she doesn't deserve you…”
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's not your turn to decide."
Giang Yen An interrupted her, pulled me away, and before leaving, left a sentence:
“We will always be together, never break up.”

As soon as I got home, I immediately got angry:
"What do you mean? To protect the person in your heart like that, can't I say another word?"
Giang Yen An walked over and pulled my hand:
"What's in your heart? What nonsense are you talking about?"
I immediately dodged and laughed coldly:
"Isn't that right? Then why do you come home late every day? I see you already have a crush on your junior sister."
In the original plot, the male lead is humiliated at home by his ex-girlfriend every day. So my mood became increasingly gloomy and I put all my energy into studying. It was in the lab that he and his junior sister grew closer. That girl is gentle and sympathetic, the complete opposite of his ex-girlfriend who only knows how to ask for money and oppress him.
"Don't you like that necklace? I just accepted a project, as long as it's completed, the reward will be enough to buy it."
As soon as the scolding came out of my mouth, I stopped, I didn't expect him to say this. I quickly flipped the script. Obviously this detail doesn't exist in the plot, so why was the male lead's dialogue wrong?
“I originally intended to surprise you, but maybe I forgot to consider your feelings.”
Giang Yen An pursed her lips: "Sorry, Thanh Thanh, I will come back earlier later." I looked at him bowing his head and admitting his mistake. I almost blurted out and said to forgive him this time. But the plot still has to continue, so I stubbornly continue:
"Is that what you said? Let's put this aside, what about what happened just now? Why did you drag me away, afraid that I might hurt your junior sister?"
“You also agree with what they said, right?”
"Criticize me for being hot-tempered? Think I'm too harsh?"
Giang Yen An's hand that was about to pull me suddenly stopped. He looked up at me, then was a little stunned:
“Too harsh?”
Looking at his face, I knew it was over. I must have misread the words again. I dropped out of school early and only worked in a factory all year round, so I wasn't familiar with many words. From childhood to adulthood, he caused many funny and sad stories because of illiteracy and suffered many disadvantages. I pursed my lips, preparing myself for him to laugh at me. But I waited forever, still didn't see any sarcastic sentences. Just feel it
A rough hand gently touched my forehead.
"I don't think so. They're wrong. You're not a hot-tempered person, but living like this is really disadvantageous for you."
I raised my head bewilderedly and unconsciously asked:
"Don't you hate me? Don't you see that I'm rude and ruin the relationship between you and your classmates?"
Giang Yen An smiled softly:
“It doesn't matter, I don't care about them.”
He looked at me, his tone very serious:
“Thanh Thanh, you are the most important person to me.”

Giang Yen An and I, strangely enough, reconciled. I was still awkward, but he was still as calm as ever. What he said was indeed done, from then on he no longer came home late. Not long after, a new episode came. Early in the morning, I rioted and wanted to follow Giang Yen An to school:
“I heard you're the MC at this school's founding anniversary. I don't want to stay home, I want to go see it too!”
Giang Yen An was entangled with me in every way, and finally took me along. I was assigned a seat right in the front row, I just had to raise my head to see the stage. Today, Giang Yen An is a little different from usual. Normally, his eyes always carried a smile, but right now because he was concentrating, he looked colder. There seemed to be some problem, he frowned slightly, and was checking the program details with others. I looked at him for a long time, then suddenly
However, as if sensing something, Giang Yen An raised her head. Our eyes met and he immediately smiled. The coldness in his eyes disappeared, he walked over and gently reassured me:
"You're bored, right? I told you there's nothing interesting. Are you hungry? Can I take you out to eat something first?"
I don't know how to express my feelings right now, I just shake my head and say I'm not hungry. The ceremony quickly began. After the exciting opening performance, Giang Yen An and To Nhu Yen walked out to the center of the stage together. Both have outstanding appearances and are wearing the same color hosting outfits. Next to me, the sound of people whispering in admiration:
"I'm so jealous of To Nhu Yen. She's both beautiful and good at studying. Since she was a child, she's been a goddess in school."
"I heard that her parents are both famous professors, born into an intellectual family, no wonder why she is so good."
“Oh my god, what a match made in heaven with the school's male god!”
“I heard she also has a piano performance this time.”
"What's a piano? The goddess can also dance ballet and play the violin! Oh my god, can I become like that in my next life?"
Just as they said, the next performance was To Nhu Yen's piano performance. The spotlight shines down, she looks like a noble and ethereal white swan. The light was so bright that it was blinding, making the hidden corner where I sat even darker, making no one pay attention.

I didn't understand before. Why in the original plot did the ex-girlfriend go crazy after watching the school celebration? Argued with the male lead, got angry, then had a silent cold war for a long time. But now, I vaguely understand a little. When the festival ended, the group of backstage staff invited each other to eat. Giang Yen An didn't intend to go, but I stuck around:
"You don't want to take me along, do you? Why? Are you planning on hiding me and secretly finding someone new?"
Being pressured by me, he had to agree. So now, we are sitting in a room at the bar. In the room were mainly Giang Yen An's classmates. He studied at a prestigious school, and of course his friends were all from wealthy families. After a few games, Giang Yen An received a call and went out for work. I don't know if I had any bad luck, I played three games in a row and got called out. I don't like drinking, so I choose "Truth or dare" every time. The first two times the question was still okay
Usually, when did Giang Yen An and I fall in love, when did we first kiss? The third time, everyone laughed:
"Okay, don't make things difficult for Yen An's little girlfriend anymore, I'll just ask a simple question."
I already didn't like the atmosphere here, so I moved slightly, then heard the other person ask:
“Which university are you attending?”
The whole group immediately burst out laughing:
“Oh my god, this is so easy, ha ha ha!”
No one considered it a big deal, just waiting for me to finish answering to continue the game. But I was silent for so long that everyone gradually turned to look at me with surprised eyes. Finally, I stood up, picked up the glass of wine on the table, tilted my head back and drank it all:
“I'll punish myself with a drink.”
I bowed my head, the light shone down, leaving a shadow on my face.
“Sorry, everyone continue playing, I'll go out for a moment.”
