I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Super Brave, Right?
***
“Bai Ning, are you f**king cra…”
Before the words could fall, seeing the bright gleaming thing in front of her, Li Yue, who had been ready to retaliate, suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
What a lunatic, why does she carry a knife around?
“Let’s talk nicely, it’s all my fault.”
Li Yue’s smile looked strained, her voice trembling.
“I’m asking you a question!!”
You ask why she carries a knife? She’s a delicate female lead who often encounters bad people, so carrying a knife for self-defense isn’t excessive.
Besides, Bai Ning had long wanted to beat up Li Yue again. She had bullied her little angel Ning Xue into turning dark, when she was such a gentle and considerate person who was driven to desperation by a bunch of scumbags. These people really deserved to die.
Thinking of this, Bai Ning’s face filled with anger. She had been feeling frustrated these past few days, and now was the perfect time to let it out.
But she wasn’t stupid, she definitely wouldn’t use the knife. Instead, she directly kicked out again, the intense pain making Li Yue almost unable to speak.
“No, I, I didn’t…”
Li Yue clutched her stomach, enduring the pain while stammering out explanations.
But Bai Ning wasn’t stupid either. She didn’t believe what Li Yue said. According to logic, Li Yue should indeed not dare to bully anymore, but this was a novel world. Anyone who could write such melodramatic novels couldn’t possibly have normal characters in them.
“Ning Xue is under my protection. If I see you with Ning Xue again, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”
After delivering this threat, Bai Ning turned and walked toward the stairs, her steps getting faster and her breathing more rapid, until she stopped at the corner of the teaching building.
Li Yue watched Bai Ning walk away, holding back her anger and feeling like she was about to cough up blood. She finally experienced the helpless feeling of being bullied by others.
But she could only feel angry without daring to speak out, only able to stare with resentful eyes at the corner where Bai Ning had disappeared.
On the other side, leaning against the wall, Bai Ning was gasping for breath.
“My god, I’m so brave.”
Li Yue was already a head taller than Bai Ning, yet Bai Ning dared to punch her directly. Although she had a knife, she was completely acting on impulse at the time.
But who told Li Yue to be so brainless and still dare to bully Ning Xue?
Thinking of how Li Yue had almost cut Ning Xue with a knife before, Bai Ning suddenly felt she had gone too easy on her.
Ning Xue was such a gentle and quiet girl, so caring and cute, yet she still treated her that way. She deserved it.
Thinking of this, Bai Ning suddenly felt that Ning Xue seemed more like the female lead than herself, gentle, delicate, cute, considerate, simply the perfect female lead template.
System: [You’re the type of little fool who would think it’s your own fault even if someone tricked you into bed]
“Hey, if you’re going to talk, just talk. Why are you personally attacking me!?”
Bai Ning was displeased. She was clearly such a smart and clever person, how could she be stupid?
[Ah, right right right. Someone who can accurately find villainesses and even forcibly kissed one of them, you’re really smart～]
Thinking of what she had done to Nan Zha a few nights ago, Bai Ning’s face instantly turned bright red as she stammered her rebuttal.
“That, that’s different! This is the author’s problem. I clearly saw in the novels that people like them were the female lead template. Who would have known that I was the female lead?”
[I think your urgent priority right now is to immediately, right now, uninstall that app called ‘Pineapple Bun Novels’ from your phone! Stop reading all that nonsense, it’s good for your brain]
“No way.” Bai Ning refused without even thinking. This was her spiritual sustenance. If she uninstalled it, half the joy in her life would be gone.
Sigh, if only all the villainesses were as gentle and considerate as Ning Xue.
[If Nan Zha was really that gentle, you’d be unhappy about it then]
Imagining Nan Zha’s cold appearance suddenly becoming gentle, Bai Ning couldn’t help but shiver.
No, no, that’s completely impossible.
Bai Ning shook her head, throwing the thoughts away. She looked at the time and turned to walk upstairs. Although she had already asked Su Youmeng to help with attendance and could skip class, after experiencing the events of the past few days, she suddenly felt that attending class wasn’t so headache-inducing anymore.
As soon as she returned to the classroom and sat next to Su Youmeng, Su Youmeng curiously leaned her little head over and asked with some curiosity.
“Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, what have you been doing these past few days?”
“I told you, don’t call me Xiao Bai anymore. It makes me feel like you’re calling the little dog at home.”
Bai Ning said somewhat helplessly. She had known Su Youmeng for a while now, and Su Youmeng was always enthusiastic about calling her Xiao Bai. Bai Ning had corrected her countless times, but Su Youmeng still hadn’t changed.
Every time she mentioned it, Su Youmeng would just scratch her head and grin foolishly at her, making her too embarrassed to say anything more. It gave her a guilty feeling like she was bullying a fool.
“Hehe, it’s just a small thing. Why haven’t you been coming to class these past few days? Did you go out to play?”
Su Youmeng giggled foolishly, immediately changing the subject.
These past few days?
Offended a villainess, forcibly kissed a cold female CEO.
Recalling the events of the past few days, Bai Ning’s mouth twitched slightly. She had originally thought it was a good opportunity to get closer to the female lead, but unexpectedly ended up delivering the female lead right into the villainess’s mouth.
“Mm, just went out to play around randomly.”
She naturally couldn’t tell the real story of the past few days, so she brushed it off casually.
“Oh, oh, so how are things with you and Nan Zha?”
Su Youmeng could tell that Bai Ning didn’t seem to want to talk about it, so she immediately switched to another topic.
Su Youmeng also knew about Nan Zha. After all, Bai Ning used to see Su Youmeng as a villainess’s lackey, so every time she made plans with Nan Zha, she would always chat with Su Youmeng and ask her to help strategize.
Su Youmeng was always very enthusiastic. Whenever she heard Bai Ning mention anything about Nan Zha, she would excitedly chat with Bai Ning about it.
But she didn’t have any other intentions, she simply wanted to ship the couple. Delicate cute loli x cold domineering female CEO, this was simply the best combination!
It was fine when Su Youmeng didn’t mention progress, but as soon as she brought up this topic, Bai Ning’s whole mood became emo.
She had completely offended the person. She clearly knew that Nan Zha hated physical contact with people, yet she still cuddled with her while Nan Zha was sleeping, and even forcibly kissed her when she was awake, stealing her first kiss.
She didn’t dare to imagine how much Nan Zha must have wanted to kill her at that moment.
“Don’t tell me something went wrong?”
Seeing Bai Ning’s bitter expression, Su Youmeng also sensed something was off.
“Don’t mention it, let me be alone for a while.”
Without answering Su Youmeng, Bai Ning collapsed onto the desk.
“Don’t be like that, tell me about it. If there’s really a problem, I can help you.”
Seeing that Bai Ning didn’t plan to tell her, Su Youmeng became anxious. As a shipper, seeing her shipped couple having problems was more painful than her own boyfriend cheating.
She began to persistently coax Bai Ning.
“Fine, I’ll tell you.”
Bai Ning had originally planned to rest for a bit, but couldn’t withstand Su Youmeng’s persistent coaxing, so she reluctantly replied.
“Yay!” Su Youmeng looked at Bai Ning excitedly, anticipating her story with Nan Zha.
Bai Ning naturally wouldn’t tell the complete story. She slightly modified the course of events, omitting the forcible kissing and such, just saying that she thought she might have done something bad that made Nan Zha uncomfortable, and that Nan Zha definitely didn’t like her now.
“Sigh, she even invited me to attend a banquet this weekend. I feel like I’m doomed.”
Just thinking about this made Bai Ning feel like ants were crawling all over her body.
