I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Simply Craving Your Body
***
“Eh, that’s not right,” Su Youmeng noticed the blind spot and said with a puzzled expression, “Didn’t you say she might hate you? Then how could she possibly invite you to attend the banquet?”
“Maybe she’s planning to drag me there to teach me a good lesson?”
Bai Ning felt this scenario was more likely.
“Oh come on, don’t think of Nan Zha as so scary. From what I know, she already cares about you quite a bit. Among all those people who pursued her before, she didn’t pay attention to any of them, yet she’s so focused on you. She brings you to banquets, calls you for meals, I think she just likes you.”
Su Youmeng analyzed word by word. Although she wasn’t some young lady from a wealthy family, her family still had some money, so she knew some things about Nan Zha. Nan Zha’s attitude toward Bai Ning was definitely not simple.
“Hehe”
Listening to Su Youmeng’s words, Bai Ning just gave two cold laughs. Of course it would be special – even sworn enemies are special. She calls me for meals to bully me, and pays attention to me because of that damned female lead’s attraction to the villainess.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. After class, let’s go out for hot pot.”
Su Youmeng pouted, and seeing that Bai Ning didn’t seem to want to discuss it further, she could only let it go.
Although every time after eating hot pot, the smell would linger on her body, Su Youmeng just couldn’t help loving it. Without spice, without flavor, eating felt uncomfortable all over.
“I’m fine with that.”
Bai Ning didn’t mind, she quite loved hot pot too.
A class period always passed quickly. Bai Ning scrolled through videos, occasionally chatting with Su Youmeng, and before long it was over.
“Let’s go, let’s go! Hot pot time!”
Grabbing Bai Ning’s hand, Su Youmeng bounced toward the exit.
“Do you really like hot pot that much?”
Being pulled along, Bai Ning watched Su Youmeng bouncing ahead of her, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.
She noticed that Su Youmeng was always very persistent when it came to food. She might be too lazy to get up and turn off the lights when sleeping, but as soon as food was mentioned, she wouldn’t be sleepy anymore.
“You don’t understand, humanity’s basic desires are built upon eating. Only good food cannot be let down.”
Su Youmeng said to Bai Ning with a serious, solemn expression.
If she could eat delicious food every day, she’d be willing to drive luxury cars and live in villas every day!
“Xiao Ning?”
Just as Su Youmeng was happily pulling Bai Ning to go eat, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
The moment she heard the voice, Bai Ning’s whole body trembled, and her head turned stiffly.
Under a tree not far away, Ning Xue was looking at her with a happy expression, running toward her while continuously waving.
“It’s Ning Xue! Why is she here this afternoon?”
Su Youmeng was also somewhat surprised. She had a deep impression of Ning Xue. When Ning Xue was being bullied, Bai Ning often asked her to keep an eye on Ning Xue and find people to protect her.
But she didn’t really need to find anyone, because from then on, Ning Xue basically stuck with Bai Ning all the time. Whenever she didn’t have class, even Su Youmeng, who was in the same class as Bai Ning, didn’t spend as much time with Bai Ning as Ning Xue did.
“She probably has something to do.”
Looking at Ning Xue’s happy and innocent appearance, Bai Ning’s originally panicked mood instantly calmed down.
How could such an innocent person have any bad intentions?

Bai Ning: “If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak.”
“What a coincidence! Do you two also have afternoon classes?” Coming in front of Bai Ning, wiping the sweat from her forehead, Ning Xue asked happily.
“Ah, yeah, we didn’t originally, but I haven’t earned enough credits, so I chose an elective to make up some credits.”
Although she had calmed down somewhat, she still couldn’t treat Ning Xue the same way as before. Whenever Bai Ning saw Ning Xue, she would inexplicably remember how Ning Xue had secretly bit her straw that day.
However, Ning Xue didn’t seem to notice anything wrong with Bai Ning, she was genuinely very happy.
[Ning Xue surprised, comfortable, happy, feedback value +236]
Originally, when Li Yue rejected her this afternoon, her mood wasn’t very good. She felt like things were getting a bit out of control, so Ning Xue felt inexplicably irritated and stayed in the library all afternoon. She had just come out to get some fresh air, and immediately ran into Bai Ning, which instantly improved her mood.
“So, where are you going now?” Seeing that Bai Ning and Su Youmeng seemed to be heading outside, Ning Xue asked gently with a smile on her face.
“Hot pot! I haven’t had hot pot for a week, if I don’t eat it, I’m going to die.”
Before Bai Ning could speak, Su Youmeng answered Ning Xue’s question.
Hearing this, Ning Xue glanced at Bai Ning and asked with a smile.
“Can I come along? I was just planning to go eat too.”
“Of course! Why not? We’re just going to eat casually anyway.”
……
Because class ended relatively early, Bai Ning and the others arrived at the hot pot restaurant just after 5 o’clock.
Although it was a bit early, the advantage of coming early was not having to wait in line.
While Su Youmeng didn’t mind waiting in line for food, Bai Ning really cared about it. Although she also loved delicious food, if you made her wait in line for several hours to eat, she’d rather just make do with something simple.
Su Youmeng had been with Bai Ning for so long that she naturally knew Bai Ning’s habits, so she had called ahead to reserve a table.
“Hurry up and decide what you want to eat.”
Sitting in her chair, Su Youmeng excitedly passed the menu to Bai Ning and Ning Xue.
“I’m fine with anything except fish. You two decide.”
Bai Ning wasn’t particularly picky about what to eat. She just didn’t like eating fish, not because she’d been choked by fish bones, but mainly because she felt fish always had a fishy smell that she couldn’t accept, so she basically never ate fish.
“I’m not picky either. You order.”
Ning Xue smiled and passed the menu to Su Youmeng.
“Alright then, I’ll order!”
Su Youmeng didn’t refuse any longer, she had been eager for a while. Taking the menu, she started marking things enthusiastically, murmuring softly.
“Beef tripe, beef, yellow throat, all of these, hehe…”
Compared to Su Youmeng’s foodie appearance, Bai Ning and Ning Xue seemed very quiet.
Since there were three of them, the table wasn’t large. Ning Xue sat alone on one side, while Bai Ning and Su Youmeng sat together.
Ning Xue was wearing a white knit sweater on top and a black pleated skirt below today, a very simple outfit that, combined with Ning Xue’s gentle temperament and delicate face, made people can’t help but take a few more glances.
Bai Ning’s gaze occasionally drifted toward Ning Xue. She hadn’t planned to test Ning Xue anymore, Ning Xue had been bullied by Li Yue today, and she was just secretly looking to see how Ning Xue was doing.
Ning Xue is really beautiful.
Looking at Ning Xue’s delicate features, Bai Ning became somewhat mesmerized.
She had helped Ning Xue so many times, so Ning Xue definitely had some dependence on her. Besides, between good friends, what’s wrong with sharing drinks?
