SELECTED FOR SPORT

Alanna swallowed, and carefully placed the piece of fruit she had been peeling on the shimmering plate in front of her. Absently, she noticed that she had managed to carefully remove every piece of the skin and white pith from only a quarter of the orange, in what had to be a record for the slowest peeling in the history of oranges. She had been purposefully drawing out removing the skin from the fruit, knowing that if she ever reached the stage of placing a segment in her mouth, she would look like a cow endlessly chewing the cud as she attempted to pulp it enough to squeeze down her tight throat. Helene's hand under her elbow steadied her as she rose on her shaky legs. 'I will not look at him', she vowed silently to herself, while Helene shook out the soft, silken folds of her gown, but her eyes betrayed her, darting shyly across the table, to where the men remained seated.

<Fake Fast Wear> Mu Zhiyin had transmigrated into an ancient Mary Sue campus revenge novel and became the younger sister of the second male lead. She was a female supporting character that everyone hated. The main performance was that the female lead wanted to destroy her family. Sigh, she was not targeting her biological brother or sister, but her! The male lead was using her all the time in order to flirt with the female lead. The second male lead's brother actually developed feelings for the female lead after getting along with her! This was not important.
