I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: I’ll Make Her Suffer Complete Defeat!

***

Sleeping in is great, sleeping in every day is great every day

Another day without classes, Bai Ning slept straight through until noon.

“Mmm!”

She stretched lazily, and after making some ghost-like noises for a while, Bai Ning rolled over and stood up.

Having slept comfortably, she was in a good mood, making Bai Ning feel like her whole body was filled with strength.

This strength was so—

Strong! Powerful! Domineering!

It almost gave her an impulse to punch Nan Zha hard.

Hmph! Nan Zha, I’ll make her suffer complete defeat!

While Bai Ning was still fantasizing about the scene of pinning down Nan Zha and giving her a thorough beating, the ringtone beside her interrupted her thoughts.

“Who’s calling at this time?”

Puzzled, she picked up her phone, but just one glance at the name on the screen made cold sweat instantly flow down uncontrollably.

“Why is Nan Zha calling me at this time?!”

Are you monitoring me or something? I only cursed you out twice and you’re already coming to reality-check me.

Didn’t you say you’d come find me for the banquet on the weekend? There are still 2 days until the weekend, could it be that you’re planning to come settle accounts with me this early?

Should I answer?

Bai Ning bit her lip, feeling somewhat conflicted inside. She could choose not to answer and later say she was in class and didn’t see it, but she was also afraid this would make Nan Zha come settle accounts with her earlier.

Although she was the female lead, she always felt an inexplicable fear when facing the villainous supporting character.

Because the protagonist definitely wouldn’t be dealt with by the villainous supporting character, but that doesn’t mean the female lead can’t be! These types of novels often have the female lead getting kidnapped by the villainous supporting character, then the protagonist comes to save the day at the crucial moment.

Normally speaking, as the female lead, she shouldn’t be afraid of the villainous supporting character, but right now, forget about the protagonist coming to save the day, she hadn’t even found out where the protagonist was.

So it’s equivalent to saying that if she really encountered the villainous supporting character kidnapping her, whether it was disfigurement or other things, there would be no one to save her. This was also why even after knowing she was the female lead, she still maintained a timid attitude when facing the villainous supporting character.

If she really had the protagonist’s help, she would have already launched a direct counterattack. How could she let that woman Nan Zha be so arrogant?

Of course, these were just Bai Ning’s own thoughts. After considering for a moment, she gritted her teeth and obediently answered the phone, asking in a careful tone.

“Sister Nan, um, is there something you need by calling today?”

“Are you free today? Come out with me.”

Nan Zha’s cool voice came through, cold as a clear spring, making it impossible to discern any emotions within.

“Ahaha, it’s a bit inconvenient, I happen to have classes all day today, so I probably can’t accompany you today…”

Bai Ning laughed awkwardly, tactfully declining Nan Zha’s suggestion.

A lie, she actually only had one class today, but she just didn’t want to go out with Nan Zha. She wasn’t stupid; she had done those things just a few days ago, and Nan Zha’s anger definitely hadn’t subsided yet. Asking her out now was definitely to settle accounts with her.

Maybe she’d even tie her up in a basement, blindfold her, and give her a beating.

Just thinking about that scene made her shiver involuntarily.

She couldn’t go out, absolutely couldn’t go out.

“Really? I have your class schedule here. From what I can see, you don’t seem to have any classes today.”

Words tinged with a hint of teasing and unknown implications came through.

This single sentence made Bai Ning’s cold sweat flow uncontrollably, she was drenched in sweat, feeling a suffocating sensation like being coiled by a python.

This is bad.

Now her crime had increased by another level, her lie had been exposed by Nan Zha, and she’d definitely be treated even worse later.

“Ah, that, that’s because I looked at it wrong, I mistook it for tomorrow’s classes, I, I…”

Bai Ning bit her lip, stammering.

“You’re at home, right? I’ll come find you shortly.”

Without paying attention to Bai Ning’s explanation, Nan Zha hung up the phone directly after speaking.

Staring blankly at the disconnected phone, it would be a lie to say Bai Ning wasn’t panicking right now.

Not only had she treated Nan Zha that way a few days ago, but now she had also lied to Nan Zha and been caught. With Nan Zha’s vindictive and petty personality from the original story, she would definitely be thoroughly dealt with.

Where’s the protagonist? Come save me!

Bai Ning collapsed onto the bed, almost in tears.

20 minutes later

The sound of a car came from outside. Bai Ning sneakily poked her head out from the second-floor window of the villa, secretly observing the scene outside.

You ask why she didn’t run?

That’s laughable, she couldn’t escape at all. During the few months she’d been in contact with Nan Zha, she had basically revealed all her information, short of telling Nan Zha the color of her underwear every day.

Besides, she could run for a while, but could she run for a lifetime? If she really ran away and made Nan Zha come for nothing, making her directly furious, wouldn’t that be raising the difficulty level for herself?

As the sports car stopped steadily, a pair of long legs that almost reached Bai Ning’s waist extended out. Nan Zha was wearing a light purple dress today, with sunglasses on her delicate face, making it impossible to see her specific expression.

Honestly, although Nan Zha was a vicious female supporting character, her figure and face were truly exceptional, she was the person with the best figure that Bai Ning had encountered so far, having personally measured it after all.

Watching Nan Zha enter the villa and hearing the approaching footsteps, Bai Ning’s hands and legs started to feel weak. Just thinking about having to face Nan Zha soon made her feel inexplicably panicked for some reason, thinking about how she was going to be dealt with.

In a moment of panic, she directly dove into the blanket and hid herself.

“Click”

As the door handle was turned, Bai Ning also trembled.

Hearing the footsteps gradually approaching, Bai Ning swallowed and wrapped herself even tighter, as if feeling this could help her avoid Nan Zha’s gaze.

Nan Zha looked at the scene before her, almost unable to suppress her laughter.

She wasn’t some scary person, was she? Was there really a need for Bai Ning to be this afraid?

She had been so brave when lying on top of her just a few days ago, but now she was this scared when she came over?

Although she didn’t know why Bai Ning was so afraid of her, Nan Zha found it quite interesting. Ever since Bai Ning had done those things that day, her attitude toward her had changed dramatically.

Before, she had been like she was trying to please her, clinging to her every day, but now after stirring her up, she was ignoring her and didn’t even want to meet her, planning to just walk away?

There was no such good thing in the world. Since she had provoked her, she should be prepared to stay with her for life.

Instead of immediately pulling off the blanket, she pulled over a chair and sat beside the bed, quietly watching Bai Ning on the bed.

The room fell into silence like this, but the scene was somewhat bizarre, the blanket on the bed was arched up high, while Nan Zha sat expressionlessly on the chair beside it, staring at the blanket without speaking.

But this standoff only lasted for 5 minutes before Bai Ning couldn’t take it anymore. She kicked off the blanket with one foot, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
