I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: My Head Itches, I’m About to Grow a Brain

***

This… is this right?

A villainous supporting character can drug the female lead when she leaves, but she can’t go and suck on the female lead’s straw!

[Maybe she just wanted to taste your milk tea? It’s pretty normal for good girlfriends to taste each other’s drinks like this, right?]

Bai Ning: “When you taste someone else’s milk tea, do you bite their straw?”

[You also like to bite straws, maybe she was just doing it subconsciously?]

“But…”

Bai Ning’s voice trembled slightly, the corner of her mouth twitching.

“Even if I bite straws, I wouldn’t bite them with that kind of expression”

Looking at Ning Xue’s infatuated expression, the system also fell silent.

[Alright, I won’t pretend anymore. I’m not the one entering that XX space anyway, so you be careful]

With her small mouth slightly open, Bai Ning stared blankly at the scene before her, her young heart suffering severe trauma.

Ning Xue seemed to notice her gaze and turned her head questioningly toward the window.

The moment Ning Xue turned her head, Bai Ning immediately ducked down, leaning against the wall, covering her frantically beating heart from nervousness, breathing heavily with an incredulous expression.

“What the hell is going on!?”

[Obviously, Ning Xue bit your straw]

“My eyesight is fine. I’m asking you how things became like this, not asking you to repeat what just happened.”

Bai Ning was at a loss. Ning Xue’s behavior just now clearly didn’t look like something between friends.

[I don’t know]

[Besides, this world is very strange. I still haven’t detected the protagonist, and you should ask yourself about this kind of thing. You know what you did before I arrived]

The system’s counter-question made Bai Ning’s expression freeze. Biting her lip, Bai Ning began to recall the scenes of her and Ning Xue together.

Because Ning Xue’s family conditions weren’t very good, Bai Ning would also take care of Ning Xue’s self-esteem. Every time she helped her, she said it was a loan, with the purpose of taking a liking to Ning Xue’s talent and wanting Ning Xue to work for her after graduation.

Ning Xue didn’t refuse her help, but instead inexplicably smiled and agreed.

Bai Ning felt like she was about to grow a brain, she couldn’t figure out why things had become like this.

Although she was certain that the villainous supporting character wouldn’t hurt her, now she was being targeted in a different way. Thinking about Ning Xue’s yandere personality, she didn’t know whether this was good or bad.

She’d been out for a while now, and if she didn’t go back soon, Ning Xue would probably get suspicious. Bai Ning gritted her teeth, stood up, and walked back into the shop.

Looking at Ning Xue’s quiet appearance in the shop, her gaze couldn’t help but drift to the milk tea nearby. Since Bai Ning also liked to bite the straw when drinking milk tea, there were already quite a few bite marks on it, so she couldn’t tell which bite marks belonged to Ning Xue.

“What’s wrong?”

Ning Xue’s voice pulled the distracted Bai Ning back to reality.

“Ah, nothing, I just thought of something.”

Waving her hand somewhat unnaturally to indicate she was fine, Bai Ning forced a smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Are you really okay?”

Bai Ning’s abnormal behavior made Ning Xue a bit worried, her eyes showing a trace of concern.

“Really, I’m fine. The movie is about to start, let’s go wait over there.”

Bai Ning suddenly took a big sip of the milk tea in front of her, then stood up and pulled Ning Xue toward the cinema.

Sweet. She didn’t know if it was her psychological effect, but it seemed to taste even better than before.

But it wasn’t that she wanted to drink it; she just felt that if she didn’t drink it, Ning Xue would probably notice something was wrong with her. As a yandere, Ning Xue’s observation of people’s emotions was quite terrifying. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to keep Bai Ning from noticing anything unusual for these past few months.

Fortunately, Ning Xue didn’t seem to mind Bai Ning’s earlier abnormal behavior. Just holding Bai Ning’s soft little hand made her forget everything.

After discovering Ning Xue’s intentions toward her, Bai Ning was in a state of constant fear throughout, but fortunately, the rest was similar to their previous shopping trips together. If Bai Ning hadn’t seen Ning Xue’s behavior earlier, she might have had a lot of fun.

But now her mind was full of the scene of Ning Xue biting her straw, making her absent-minded the whole time.

Although she tried hard to hide her abnormality, Ning Xue still noticed something was wrong with Bai Ning.

Frowning, Ning Xue looked at Bai Ning beside her, who was avoiding her gaze, feeling a bit annoyed.

She had been very happy today, but for some reason, Bai Ning seemed to be in low spirits and was subtly avoiding her gaze, which made her feel a bit hurt.

Could it be that the things she had done were discovered?

Ning Xue’s brows furrowed tightly. Although being exposed wouldn’t have much impact on her, what she feared was that Bai Ning would distance herself from her.

No, that shouldn’t be the case.

Ning Xue believed she had been quite discreet, it had been going on for several months now, and Bai Ning hadn’t noticed at all.

Although she felt it wasn’t her problem, Ning Xue still planned to test Bai Ning. Besides, she hadn’t done those things for several days now, and she felt like she was going crazy from holding back.

“Xiao Ning, let’s stay at your place tonight as usual.”

With a smile on her pretty face, she said to Bai Ning walking beside her.

Previously, whenever she and Bai Ning went out to play together, they would stay together, of course at Bai Ning’s big villa.

“Ah, this, this…”

Hearing this, Bai Ning’s face turned pale, her eyes became evasive, and her fingers unconsciously began playing with her hair.

After experiencing that scene earlier, she didn’t dare let Ning Xue stay in her villa again. Although she still wasn’t sure about Ning Xue’s feelings toward her, her mind was in chaos now, and she was afraid of letting Ning Xue discover something.

“Tonight might not work, I have a banquet to attend later tonight…”

With an embarrassed expression, although Ning Xue was a girl who looked gentle and quiet, lying to her face still made Bai Ning very nervous.

Keeping her head down, fine beads of sweat continuously formed on her forehead as she waited for Ning Xue’s response.

[Ning Xue is suspicious, confused, dejected, feedback value +236]

Ning Xue didn’t speak. After hearing Bai Ning’s words, her brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of gloom passed through her eyes where Bai Ning couldn’t see. Then her face quickly showed a regretful expression, and she moved closer, hugging Bai Ning’s arm and speaking in a somewhat playful voice.

“Ah, alright then. Have fun at the banquet, and remember to take pictures of the delicious food for me. Even though I can’t eat it, I want to feast my eyes on it.”

“Ah? Mm, okay.”

Bai Ning seemed somewhat stunned at these words. The moment Ning Xue leaned in, her body stiffened a bit and her face turned pale, but under Ning Xue’s gaze, she still reluctantly agreed.

“Alright then, message me when you get to the banquet, and I’ll head home now.”

As if she hadn’t noticed Bai Ning’s abnormality, Ning Xue still acted as usual, with a smile on her face, speaking gently to Bai Ning.

“Bye bye…”

“Bye~”
