The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Adele stuck her tongue out playfully, but in the end, she did as Winona asked.

After all, it seemed a bit excessive of her to do that.
Holding the cat hostage to control the principal?
But even if she let go of First Snow, First Snow would fly back to her soon enough.

So Winona still had plenty to worry about.
After all, she had raised such a Cat-Bird, who was more like a daughter than a friend now.
Back in her dormitory, Adele immediately relayed all the information she had discussed with the principal to Tang Linlang through a phone call.

 
After hearing everything, Tang Linlang remained silent for a long time.
Adele comforted her over the phone, “For now, this is good news.”

“But if Linlang doesn’t want to endure this pain anymore, I’ll find a way to see if you can break the contract with the Gu Realm.”
“And don’t worry about your ancestor’s matters, it was so long ago, it might not be accurate.”
“Even if it is, it doesn’t affect your present.”

“It doesn’t affect your image in my heart at all.”
Adele’s earnest words finally moved Tang Linlang, who had been silent for a long time.
 

“Thank you… Adele.”
“Silly, don’t say thank you, it makes us sound distant.”
“Say ‘Wifey is amazing!'”

Adele’s playful words stunned Tang Linlang.
But after a while, a shy voice, as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, came from the phone,
— “Thank you… wifey~”
It made Adele’s ears tingle.

 
The two continued chatting on the phone.
Tang Linlang said that she still wanted to become stronger, for Adele and for herself.

Adele, sensing Tang Linlang’s determination, tried to persuade her, but she couldn’t convince the stubborn Tang Linlang.
So in the end, she changed her tone and told her to relax and take it slow.
Also, if anything happened to the Gu Realm, Adele hoped that Tang Linlang wouldn’t hide it from her and would come to her immediately.

Enduring anything silently alone was the most foolish thing to do!
Adele criticized this kind of thinking over the phone.
 

After all, there were so many cliché dramas where a small issue could be dragged out for more than ten or twenty episodes just because of misunderstandings!
Sensing Adele’s resentment towards her past behavior, Tang Linlang smiled wryly and agreed softly.
She promised Adele that she wouldn’t be foolish anymore.

And even though she was being scolded by Adele, Tang Linlang still felt genuinely happy.
Of course, Tang Linlang wasn’t a masochist, she just understood the care and love behind the scolding.
………………

Monday, the official start of winter break, arrived.
 
It was also the date of the last assembly for the students of Cromwell Academy.

They had to wear their school uniforms, tie their ties or bows, and go to the highest floor of Cromwell Academy – the auditorium! – in groups according to their classes.
To listen to the end-of-term summary and speeches given by Principal Winona, other school leaders, and high-ranking officials from both the human and vampire races.
The girls whispered and chattered, their excitement for the winter break and their dissatisfaction with this dreadful end-of-term summary evident in their actions.

However, it was mostly the vampires who complained.
The reason was probably that Cromwell Academy adopted a school system similar to human schools, designed entirely by human higher-ups.
This forced the vampire girls to participate in collective activities that were unimaginable to them in the past.

 
Such as the Monday flag-raising ceremony, the opening ceremony, the end-of-term summary, the graduation ceremony, and other activities that gathered everyone together for no apparent reason.
This made the vampires, who were used to freedom and unrestrained behavior, suffer greatly.

But after adapting for so long, they gradually became familiar with and accustomed to this kind of school life.
And whether they admitted it or not, these activities also visibly improved their unity.
The vampire girls gradually became one with the human students.

If schools like this, with mixed education of vampires and humans, were given another decade or two, one day, every new generation vampire would become no different from human students in terms of their accustomed concepts.
This was why education was so important.
 

It would shape a person’s, even a race’s, thinking over time.
Adele, walking among a group of girls in uniform shirts and skirts, biting on a piece of bread, was still undoubtedly the most dazzling one.
Her attire was ordinary, her black hair was ordinary, and her pink eyes were also ordinary.

But combined, they created an unparalleled beauty.
Perhaps bad girls naturally had a forbidden fruit-like attraction.
It was the forbidden fruit that even Adam and Eve, the legendary ancestors of mankind, couldn’t help but bite into.

However, Adele herself was already used to attracting attention.
 
What she really cared about was that she woke up and didn’t see a fragrant breakfast on the table!

Which led to her having to grab a piece of bread and rush to school without even putting jam on it!
Then, as soon as Adele arrived at the classroom, she received the news about the assembly.
There was no helping it, Adele had to rush to the academy’s auditorium.

Adele just wanted to say…
Seraph! Weren’t you supposed to be an all-around housekeeper angel!?
You’re skipping work, skipping work!

 
Faced with Adele’s questioning…
Seraph would probably think, when did she become Adele’s exclusive nanny?

Adele’s personality, taking others’ kindness for granted, was truly terrible.
This kind of behavior only appeared when Adele was being spoiled.
Because she knew the girls would pamper her, she couldn’t help but be a little presumptuous.

She would also treat the girls better in return.
As for strangers, if they were suddenly nice to Adele, she would probably be wary and surprised.
 

Adele wasn’t the kind of woman who would be easily swayed by a couple of sweet dates.
After quickly eating the bread crusts she didn’t like, Adele stuck out her tongue like a kitten and licked the bread crumbs off her fingers.
This seductive action was seen by Tang Linlang, who was not far away, and she immediately blushed and lowered her head.

At the same time, the memory of that passionate night with Adele surfaced in her mind…
It was… very similar.
When Adele licked her…

Tang Linlang’s breathing quickened, and she didn’t calm down until she sat down.
 
Unfortunately, her assigned seat was still some distance away from Adele.

Fortunately, the students sitting next to Adele were other vampire students she didn’t interact with much and had no particular impression of.
They, like Adele, couldn’t sit still, so the atmosphere between them was unusually silent.
Adele didn’t mind this and curiously observed her surroundings and the distant podium.

Since they weren’t allowed to do anything else during the assembly but listen to the speeches, the bored Adele could only kill time this way.
Otherwise, she would rather use this time to play mobile games or read novels.
For example, “Victoria’s Secret 2.” Adele was quite curious about the past experiences and legendary stories of this earliest recorded female legendary mage in the magic world, known for her extensive contacts.

 
Then, she noticed Celeste not far away. The blonde girl sat upright with a dignified expression, the perfect image of a noble lady.
But Adele licked her lips, remembering Celeste on all fours in front of her, like a dog, kissing her toes, a seductive image full of contrast that made Adele feel a surge of excitement.

Seemingly sensing her master’s gaze, the mark on Celeste’s lower abdomen started to heat up.
But it was a comfortable feeling, not a “punishment.”
Celeste started looking for her master.

She found Adele and gazed at her adoringly, her gaze as cool as moonlight, falling on Adele.
But at this moment, Adele tsundere-ly looked away.
 

But in reality, she was a little happy about the tacit understanding between her and Celeste.
Then, she spotted Sharon, Hermione, and Dorothy in the senior student area further away.
Surprisingly, Edith wasn’t among them.

Was she on leave…?
Probably. The news of Lady Chen Xi’s awakening was the most sensational news recently.
Not only among the vampires, but also among the humans, the reaction was huge.

For Edith, the importance of the end-of-term summary was indeed no match for being by her grandmother’s side.
 
Just as Adele was pondering, a sudden burst of noise from the broadcast system swept through the auditorium.

After the noise subsided, a familiar female voice came, Principal Winona’s.
She took a deep breath and started her well-rehearsed opening remarks, glancing at First Snow, who was sleeping soundly under the podium. Seeing that First Snow wasn’t causing any trouble, she instantly felt relieved.
First Snow seemed to have a habit of comfortably nesting under Principal Winona’s podium during every assembly, dozing off and sleeping soundly!

It was the same last time!
How could a kitten her age fall asleep…
But sleeping soundly in such a setting was truly a display of utter disregard for the situation.

 
At least it was enough to make Adele envious.
After all, everyone else was forced to listen to the speeches, remain silent, and sit upright.

But the kitten could just do as she pleased.
Compared to the humans and vampires who were collectively restrained, she was simply too free and relaxed.
At first, Principal Winona talked about some clichéd things, and Adele didn’t listen carefully.

Then came the announcement of the final exam results and the awarding of those who performed exceptionally well.
This time, Adele perked up her ears and listened carefully.
 

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a disservice to her days and nights of hard work?
To be fair, Adele was quite confident about her final exam results.
Don’t ask why, she was a studyholic from China!

She, a studyholic who had gone through the brutal college entrance exam, couldn’t possibly lose to these lazy vampire girls who only relied on their ancestry, what a joke, meow!
So Adele puffed up her chest, waiting for Principal Winona’s praise.
As expected, when Principal Winona read out the names of the outstanding first-year students, she started very normally, her pace even.

Until she came across a rather “glaring” name.
 
The corner of Winona’s mouth twitched, and her voice paused for a moment. Then she coughed lightly and continued reading as if reluctantly,

— “And, first-year student Adele, with outstanding results, is awarded credits and the honor of Outstanding Student of the Semester.”
Adele enjoyed seeing Principal Winona’s reluctant expression, feeling smug.
At the same time, First Snow, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly heard Adele’s name, her ears twitched, and she woke up from her sleep.

Having just woken up, First Snow didn’t realize that she was currently in the academy auditorium during the awards ceremony.
She didn’t realize that countless eyes were watching everything happening on the stage.
The little guy just flew out, meowing, probably calling out Adele’s name in cat language.

Her meows were amplified by the microphone, and her small figure appeared right above the podium.
This caused an uproar among the students in the auditorium.
“The principal’s Cat-Bird!”

“So cute~”
“Who would have thought that a serious-looking principal would have a kitten sleeping under her skirt?”
“This scene is too adorable!”

Just imagining that scene, it felt like Principal Winona’s authority was on the verge of collapse.
Someone who would bring their pet kitten to a speech, even if she was the dictator of an empire, would probably make people feel a sense of closeness.
But this wasn’t the effect Winona wanted at all!

What she wanted was authority, authority!
Now, she really suspected that Adele was her nemesis…
The poor principal facepalmed, but she didn’t really want to call First Snow back.

Because at this time, calling back the disobedient First Snow would make her seem like she couldn’t control her own pet, making her look weak.
Not to mention that First Snow wasn’t even her “pet.”
So she could only remain silent to avoid further loss of authority.

And she could only watch as First Snow, with her confused blue eyes, began to search for Adele in the auditorium.
Fortunately, First Snow had good eyesight and a keen sense of smell.
It didn’t take her long to find Adele and fly towards her gracefully.

Under everyone’s envious gaze, Adele successfully caught First Snow and started petting the kitten’s soft fur, making everyone jealous.
Among all the students in the school, only Adele could openly enjoy petting a cat during the assembly!
First Snow buried her head completely in Adele’s arms, acting like an ostrich.

It was as if as long as she hid her head, no one would notice that she had embarrassed herself.
Adele was both amused and exasperated, but she still forgave First Snow for suddenly appearing and making her the target of everyone’s attention, gently stroking the kitten’s head.
Soon, the comfortable feeling made First Snow raise her chin.

Adele understood, this was the kitten’s way of asking for a chin scratch.
Did Cat-Birds, like cats, also have scent glands on their chins?
That was why cats liked to have their chins rubbed.

Because it gave them a sense of security, as if their scent had permeated the surroundings, and they had become the master of this area.
And humans also became “two-legged beasts” marked by their scent!
Cats were truly both cute and arrogant.

Setting aside First Snow’s situation, after the brief “flying cat” incident, Principal Winona quickly regained control of the situation, bringing the focus back to her speech.
Adele, holding First Snow, was in a good mood.
After all, who else could have a cat to accompany them during such a boring time?

Not to mention, she had just received credit rewards and recognition from the principal.
It was an honor similar to “Three Good Student.”
Adele herself didn’t care much about this, but for those vampire girls who had prejudice against her, it was like a slap in the face.

Initially, Adele’s role was that of a punching bag, someone who could be bullied by anyone.
But now, after a semester, the punching bag had vaguely become a proud and favored child of heaven, towering above everyone.
Those Sequence One girls who had bullied her had all fallen for her.

Her magic power had also improved rapidly, and even her theoretical course grades were recognized by the academy and the principal.
Last but not least, even the legendary Cat-Bird, said to have the ability to find the “chosen one,” had become attached to her, making people wonder.
You know, before this, the principal’s Cat-Bird was known for being mischievous, quirky, greedy, and stingy – meaning she would freeload cat food but wouldn’t let anyone pet her.

Li Lige had the most say in this, she was First Snow’s previous can supplier.
However, First Snow treated her and Adele completely differently.
Also, it was precisely because of Adele’s counterattack and First Snow’s attachment to her…

That more and more people in Cromwell Academy started spreading the news that Adele was the “chosen one” on the forums and in private group chats.
People were easily swayed, and vampires were no exception.
Or rather, when it came to admiring the strong, vampires were second to none.

After all, the Sequence system established by the Black Emperor had influenced them for thousands of years.
So, without Adele even realizing it, the students of Cromwell Academy had secretly established an organization that worshipped Adele as a god.
The members of the organization called themselves “Heart Candies,” and their published works included – “I Really Want to Be Miss Adele’s Dog.”

Although this article sounded like Celeste’s style…
Celeste proudly declared that she was already Miss Adele’s dog, so how could she lower herself to join an organization of people who “wanted to be Miss Adele’s dog but couldn’t”?
It was also worth mentioning that Adele herself didn’t pay attention to such news.

So it turned out that Adele, as an idol, didn’t even know that she had a fan club.
Of course, the bigger reason was because…
Heart Candies were useless!

If they were of any use, doing something noteworthy, like slaying a dragon like that unlucky kid when carrying out a mission, or getting excellent grades and being recognized by the principal…
Then their idol wouldn’t be unaware of their existence.
