I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Blanket On, Feelings Off!

***

If this had happened to her, she definitely wouldn’t be able to laugh about it, but when it happens to someone else, she can’t help but gloat a little.

“Is it that funny? All I see is a desperate artist who can’t submit her work because the deadline is tomorrow.”

“Well, you’re observing quite carefully.”

“Alright,” she patted Su Youmeng’s shoulder with a smile on her face, “if you rush now, you might still make it.”

Su Youmeng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, picked up her rice bowl, and started eating quickly.

She had to rush the manuscript, but she also had to eat.

If you don’t eat enough, where will you get the energy to pull an all-nighter working on the manuscript?

Watching the conversation between Bai Ning and Su Youmeng, Ning Xue, who hadn’t been in a good mood, also started laughing.

She still had time. She could slowly boil the frog in warm water. She wasn’t purely vegetarian either, she’d eaten plenty of meat too. She believed that sooner or later, she would achieve her goal.

Dinner was very pleasant, and Ning Xue was acting normally without anything strange happening. This made Bai Ning even more convinced that Ning Xue last time just wanted to taste her milk tea, at most she was just a bit dependent on her.

Besides, if Ning Xue was really like in the original story, she wouldn’t have been bullied by Li Yue today, she would have fought back long ago.

Thinking that she had eliminated a hidden danger and gained such a good friend, Bai Ning couldn’t help but want to smile.

Who said that villainous supporting characters are all bad women? Look how good this Ning Xue is!

After finishing dinner and saying goodbye, Bai Ning originally wanted to invite Ning Xue to come play at her house to relax, but seeing that Ning Xue seemed to have something on her mind and wasn’t in high spirits, Bai Ning gave up on the idea.

She notified her family’s driver to come pick her up, and Bai Ning waited in front of the store.

Although it wasn’t far from her home, Bai Ning still chose to have her family’s driver come pick her up. It wasn’t because she was lazy or anything.

The main reason was that ever since she learned she was the female lead, Bai Ning had become very cautious. Although public safety was good now and the streets were brightly lit at night, so normally nothing would happen.

But she hadn’t forgotten what the system said, and she was still the young lady of the Bai family. If someone really came out to kidnap her, she would have no way to deal with it. She didn’t have any Feng Aotian to come save her, so she could only rely on herself.

Since it was just after work hours, there was heavy traffic on the road, and the driver couldn’t come right away. Bai Ning sat at the store entrance and started scrolling through her phone out of boredom.

Since she hadn’t looked at her phone during dinner, she only now saw that there were many unread messages.

When she saw the sender’s name, the corners of Bai Ning’s mouth twitched slightly, and her face showed a helpless expression.

[Jiang Xiyue: Do you have resources?]

[Bai Ning: Resources? What resources? Could you be a bit more specific?]

[Jiang Xiyue: Websites, mini-games, anything works]

Although it was expected, after seeing this message, the corners of Bai Ning’s mouth still couldn’t help but twitch.

Asking an online friend you’ve only known for a few days for these things, and saying it so directly, is this really human?

[Bai Ning: I’m outside, I don’t have any on my phone. I sent you some before]

[Jiang Xiyue: Oh, no problem, just asking. If you don’t have any, I’ll just go buy some later]

Buy?

You’re really going to buy this stuff? Don’t you have hacking skills? You could just randomly look in someone’s browser and cloud storage to find it, why would you need to buy it?

And don’t you have your own stash? You still need to buy more?

[Bai Ning: I think you should moderate yourself a bit, it’s not good for your health]

Although advising people to quit masturbation is something that would get you struck by lightning, if someone advised her like this, she definitely wouldn’t listen.

This boring life only had this little bit of pleasure left, it couldn’t be taken away. But that sage-like appearance after finishing each time was indeed unnecessary.

After doing it once, deleting everything, then saying “I’ll never do this again” and making all sorts of vows.

But when deleting, holy as Buddha; when searching, crazy as a demon.

The way you keep scrolling through browser history is truly laughable.

[Jiang Xiyue: Then can you help me solve it?]

?

How presumptuous, this is practically harassment.

Sometimes Bai Ning really couldn’t keep up with these talented weirdos’ top-tier abstract thinking.

[Bai Ning: I don’t think I can do that. We’re just online friends. You don’t even know my gender or age. How can you say something like that? What if I’m male? What if I’m ugly?]

[Jiang Xiyue: You won’t be ugly, and we can just video chat to find out. Two birds with one stone]

Her tone was very certain. Bai Ning didn’t know where Jiang Xiyue got her confidence.

And showing your true colors, huh? Your Yan country map is way too short. What a noob.

In your eyes, all online friends are white-haired, red-eyed little lolis, right?

Although she really was one, Jiang Xiyue didn’t know that.

Her mouth twitching slightly, Bai Ning had thought that after traversing the internet for so many years, commenting on various shit that group members brought to the group every day, she thought she was already abstract enough. She didn’t expect there were still masters out there.

Someone who could think of this method should be able to afford premium services at home.

[Bai Ning: http://www….., go use this]

[Jiang Xiyue: Thanks]

Quite polite actually.

Watching the avatar go gray, Bai Ning put down her phone and sighed. This completely doesn’t match your character setting.

You’re so good-looking, why are you being so abstract?

…………

The ride home was smooth, with no major incidents and no mysterious enemies kidnapping her. Though even if there were, she probably wouldn’t be in any real danger.

Ever since the system said something would happen, she had been very cautious.

After taking a shower and lying on her super-large circular bed at home, Bai Ning felt that today was simply too comfortable, it was like living in a dream.

Eliminating Ning Xue’s suspicions meant she had completely turned an enemy into a friend. Who said the female lead and villainess couldn’t get along harmoniously?

As long as you find the right approach, a mere villainess will eventually be won over by her.

Lying in bed, thinking about her wonderful future life, Bai Ning couldn’t help but giggle.

[You’re drooling]

The laughter stopped abruptly. She hurriedly raised her small hand to wipe her mouth, only to find there was nothing there. Realizing she’d been tricked, Bai Ning’s small face instantly turned red.

“You damn system, you’re really mean.”

[Trash fish getting angry? Angry!]

“You, you—”

Her small hands trembling slightly, if this system had a physical form, Bai Ning felt she would really need to properly discipline this bratty female system.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down a bit.

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. Getting upset over small things, looking back, what’s the point? Irritation and anger harm the body. If I die from anger, who would be pleased?

“Fine, I won’t argue with you. I’m happy today, I won’t fight with you, you little pest. I’m going to sleep. A wonderful life is beckoning to me!”

Blanket on, feelings off!
