When my childhood sweetheart arrived, I pushed my stepsister into the pool. She looked terrified, but inside, she was gloating. 【Finally, the second male lead sees how vicious the villainess truly is. Now he should protect me and break ties with her completely, right?】 The next second, my childhood sweetheart turned around vigilantly and started guarding the door for me. 01 Ethan Sterling saw me push Sarah into the water. His first reaction was to check if anyone else was around. His second reaction was to smash the surveillance camera overhead. His third reaction was to lock the door from the inside. It looked a lot like he was helping me destroy evidence. His movements were smooth and practiced, as if he had done similar things before. Sarah, who was fake-flailing in the water, froze for a moment, even forgetting to act. 【What does he mean by this?】 In her panic, Sarah started to sink. Finally unable to hold back, she cried out, her voice choking with tears, "Ethan..." Her face was pale from choking on water, coughing incessantly. I watched with a smile. Sarah must have dressed up deliberately today. Her white dress became almost transparent when wet, her black hair plastered to her skin, pale pink lips, and doe-like eyes. Even before she got out of the water, she looked pitiful enough to arouse sympathy. But I'm different. I'm the vicious villainess. I don't pity her. Ethan turned a deaf ear, scanning the area around the pool. "Are you okay?" He walked to my side, his voice warming slightly. "You forgot your phone up there." "I wasn't the one who fell in, of course I'm fine," I smiled at him, my eyes curving. "She suddenly called me down here, and I forgot to grab it." Seeing Ethan approach, Sarah weakly extended a hand: "Ethan, save me..." In her heart, she was gritting her teeth. 【Why? The plot isn't like this! Shouldn't he jump in distressed and hold me? Is he not moved by me yet at this point?】 Ethan glanced at her. He didn't like to talk much. At this moment, he just dropped a concise sentence: "Be careful yourself. Don't rely on others." Sarah: "..." She was furious inside: 【Is he blind? It was clearly the villainess who pushed me in on purpose!】 I almost laughed out loud. 02 After leaving the pool with Ethan, he took me to breakfast. This trip was a study tour organized by the Academy. The garden restaurant of this estate was beautifully decorated. Sunlight filtered through emerald vines, dappling like stars. A breeze brushed past, making the light dance like elves. After I sat down and started ordering, Ethan stood by the back of my chair and started using his phone. He seemed to be chatting with someone, his expression serious, long fingers tapping on the screen. Sunlight fell into his dark pupils, reflecting a shimmering wave of light. I couldn't be bothered to look at his phone. I knew he was paying for the surveillance camera. He broke it, so of course he paid for it. Although the Sterling family had shares in this estate, Ethan wouldn't let the pool staff bear the loss. He was inherently a man of principle, full of justice and empathy, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. A good person in the worldly sense. So I was a little curious: "Really not saving Sarah? Aren't you afraid she'll drown?" "She won't die," Ethan put away his phone. "If she would, you wouldn't have left her there." Actually, he was right. Sarah could swim; she wouldn't drown. "I'm not that kind," I said slowly. "I wish she were dead." Ethan was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, he squatted down in front of me, looking up at me. This was the posture he habitually used when he had something to discuss with me or wanted my opinion. We had been childhood sweethearts for eighteen years. When we were little, girls developed faster. He was shorter than me and always followed silently behind me, teased by our families as my little follower. But Ethan in adolescence shot up like bamboo after spring rain. I had to look up at him every time. I complained once that looking up was tiring. After that, he would always lower his head when talking to me. Or like now, deliberately maintain a position lower than mine. "Chloe," he seemed to hesitate, his usually cold tone much gentler, "even if you really think so, can you please not act on it?" I was bored and replied casually: "Why? Not even if I don't get caught?" "Doing anything leaves traces," Ethan frowned slightly, lowering his eyes in thought. His overly handsome profile against the light had a coldness that felt inhuman. "If you really hate her that much..." I knew him too well. He generally didn't let me do bad things, but if I really wanted to, he would do them for me. His principles were always thoroughly destroyed when it came to me. Me: "..." I realized he was already considering the possibility of disposing of Sarah himself, so I interrupted him. I pinched his cheeks with both hands, my tone serious: "Ethan Sterling, what are you saying? I was joking. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and so are you." We were very close, breaths audible. I liked a kind of lemon mint candy. Ethan always carried some for me. We ate two together in the morning. So when I got close, I could smell a faint scent of candy. Ethan's cold expression suddenly cracked, staring at me blankly. Then, I noticed a flush spreading from his neck directly to the back of his ears. He suddenly stepped back and stood up. I blinked. I couldn't help thinking, how could such a good Ethan be the "second male lead" Sarah talked about? What author would write him as the second lead? Whoever it is has no taste and shouldn't expect to make money writing novels in this lifetime. 03 My parents divorced early, and I had always lived with my mother. Sarah was the daughter brought by my dad's new wife when he remarried last year. At first, I didn't pay attention to her. After all, she had nothing to do with me. But the day Sarah transferred to my academy, Saint Ives, I gained the ability to read minds. Only effective on her. She seemed not to belong here, always saying weird things. Like she was reincarnated from birth. Like this is a huge novel world called The White Moonlight of the Noble Academy. She waited a long time for the plot to finally start. We are all characters in the novel. Sarah is the heroine. With her stubbornness, hard work, purity, and kindness, she will eventually become the goddess of the entire academy, with countless people falling at her feet. I am the vicious villainess, Ethan is the deeply affectionate second male lead, and the male lead is the scholarship student of our academy, Noah Reed. At first, I thought she was crazy. Later, I found out she actually knew some of my family's secrets. Plus, I possessed something unscientific like mind-reading and couldn't even tell anyone about the plot. This force majeure didn't seem like something humans possessed, so I gradually believed her story. But I didn't care. After all, the real world is certainly different from a novel. Sarah couldn't possibly be omniscient and control everyone's fate as she imagined. Her IQ wasn't high, but she was very self-righteous. Pretending to be a little white flower, but her acting skills were terrible and couldn't fool many people. But somehow, she seemed to really have something like a "heroine's halo." I tried various methods, but I couldn't keep her away from my world. She would always appear in front of me, calling me "Sister Chloe" with an innocent face. Like a stubborn main storyline, every time it deviated a little, it would be corrected. However, other than making her transfer schools, I could do anything else. So I treated Sarah as an annoying piece of chewing gum. Honestly, no such person had ever appeared in my life before, so I looked at Sarah with a sense of novelty. Occasionally, out of curiosity, I would even cooperate with her to follow the plot. I wanted to test if some of the plot points she mentioned would develop as expected. But this indulgence stopped during this study tour, the second Ethan appeared in front of her with me. She stared at Ethan: 【The second male lead is so handsome... Can we fast forward to the night the villainess drugs me? I want to sleep with him.】 I got angry. So when she asked me to go to the deserted pool, I went. I pushed her in. Just as I wanted to push Sarah's head into the water to let her change the water in her brain, Ethan came. I regretfully abandoned this action. Even if he just saw it, he would become my accomplice. Moreover, he would definitely stop me, and then maybe kill Sarah himself. Ethan was a clean person, never having done anything bad, without any stains. I wouldn't allow him to go astray for me. 04 My good mood didn't last long. Halfway through the meal, a familiar voice came from behind: "Sister Chloe..." I turned my head and saw Sarah, wrapped in a white bath towel, looking timid and pitiful. Beside her was a handsome boy whose clothes were washed white. He nodded to me, his smile polite and gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze: "President, Vice President." —This was the male lead, Noah Reed, a scholarship student with excellent grades in the academy. This White Moonlight of the Noble Academy was an old-school novel. As the vicious villainess, I would naturally be madly obsessed with the male lead. In the original plot, I saved Noah from bullying. Because I liked him and helped him a lot, he always regarded me as his salvation. However, a villainess is a villainess. I wasn't the kind and warm person he saw, just good at pretending. Later, I framed Sarah everywhere, becoming a stumbling block between Noah and Sarah, creating many misunderstandings for them. Until my true colors were exposed, the male and female leads finally got together. Sarah snatched this plot. She went to save Noah first, although she didn't seem to save him. The male lead wasn't bullied at all. She muttered about this in her heart for a long time. Knowing this, I didn't care. I am the Student Council President of the academy. To maintain order, solving bullying is normal, no matter who it is. In the original plot, my saving Noah must have been accidental. I didn't know him well. At most, we interacted regarding the quota for financial aid. I wasn't interested in him, let alone obsessed. If he wanted to be with Sarah, that was his business, nothing to do with me. But I still greeted Noah with a smile: "Student Noah." Ethan also nodded. We completely ignored Sarah. Her face changed slightly, and she was furious inside: 【Damn Chloe Vance, pushed me down, and is eating a big meal here herself!】 Sarah was just my dad's stepdaughter and didn't have much money. This restaurant was pricey; she probably couldn't bear to eat here. "Thank you for saving me just now, Noah," Sarah pulled her clothes tighter, her voice soft. "Sister Chloe and I seem to have a misunderstanding. Just now she..." At this point, she choked up a little, looking like she had suffered a huge grievance. 【I'll expose her true colors in front of the male lead and the second male lead. Let's see how she pretends to be the high-and-mighty president!】 【The second male lead must have been dissatisfied with her for a long time, just pretending to be obedient because of family ties... And the male lead, the heroine should have fallen in love with him by now, right?】 【The male lead likes me, he will definitely help me get revenge.】 She lowered her head slightly, looking like she was about to cry: "Sister, I really want to reconcile with you. If you don't want to listen to me, will you listen to Noah?" Ethan's movements paused slightly. He lowered his eyes and moved closer to me, the air pressure around him dropping. I didn't notice this, just realizing that the smile on Noah's lips, precise as if measured, had changed slightly. He calmly pulled his sleeve out of Sarah's hand, his tone distant: "Student Sarah, you said the President was with you and wanted to see me, so I went to the pool." Sarah stared at him blankly. Noah's tone was smiling, but his words were merciless: "You went down for a swim and came up. I didn't get in the water the whole time. Don't say things like 'saving you' that cause misunderstandings. Besides, you and the President aren't sisters. What misunderstanding could you have with the President?" Sarah was choked speechless, cursing Noah fiercely in her heart. 【Pretentious guy! A poor ghost deserves to be the male lead! I cared for him so much during this time, and his attitude hasn't changed at all. Is he an NPC? Impossible, even a stone should have melted!】 Facts proved it didn't melt. The NPC male lead Noah was unaware of what Sarah was thinking. He just took another step back, continuing to distance himself from her. Sarah's face turned green. This time I really laughed out loud.
