I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: You Even Steal Shared Meals!?
***
Bai Ning really loved playing games with Ning Xue. Not only because Ning Xue was a beautiful girl who played games well, but more importantly because Ning Xue was truly gentle and great at providing emotional value.
No matter what kind of bizarre moves Bai Ning made, what godly reverse operations, even if she directly caused a team wipe in one wave, Ning Xue would never get angry. Instead, she would comfort her.
This made Bai Ning, who was constantly under pressure from playing games every day, feel incredibly warm-hearted.
When you encounter teammates who don’t put pressure on you like this, you should secretly rejoice.
“Sorry, that was my…”
Another wave of godly reverse operations, Bai Ning directly caused the entire team to wipe, and her teammates were all frantically sending question marks to pressure her. Seeing this, Bai Ning felt a bit embarrassed and apologized to Ning Xue in a soft voice.
“It’s okay, I’ll always be with you.”
The girl’s gentle words seemed to have magic, making Bai Ning feel comfortable.
Indeed, Ning Xue was a little angel!
If she were to find a girlfriend, she would definitely want to find a gentle and considerate girl like Ning Xue.
Although Bai Ning kept feeding the enemy team, it didn’t affect Ning Xue’s ability to turn the tide against the odds. Watching Ning Xue directly take on five enemies by herself and completely turn the game around, seeing the big “Victory” words on the game screen, Bai Ning was truly impressed.
Ning Xue had never been exposed to these games before. It wasn’t until Bai Ning brought her home to play for the first time a few months ago that she first encountered them.
After just a few matches, she showed exceptional talent, with an understanding of the game that was even deeper than Bai Ning, who had been playing for several years.
Bai Ning had even suggested that Ning Xue start streaming games to make money, but Ning Xue wasn’t very interested in that aspect and didn’t agree.
“Holy crap, amazing!”
After Ning Xue carried her to victory in another match, Bai Ning got a bit excited.
“Not bad.”
Compared to the excitement of winning the game, Ning Xue’s gaze was more focused on Bai Ning’s direction.
Since they were at home and it was summer, Bai Ning, who had no guard up against Ning Xue, was dressed quite lightly.
Looking at the glimpses of snow-white skin that were inadvertently revealed, Ning Xue’s face also reddened slightly. Only when Bai Ning was playing games could she observe so openly.
Usually, Bai Ning was like she had paranoid delusions, she was extremely sensitive to anyone’s gaze, and Ning Xue didn’t dare to look.
Actually, games are pretty good too.
Ning Xue thought this while staring intently at Bai Ning in front of her.
[Ning Xue comfortable, happy, feedback value +122]
After playing for quite a while, Bai Ning felt a bit tired. Because of what happened with Nan Zha this morning, she had been playing in a kneeling position the whole time, which was too tiring. Plus, she kept getting killed like a fish, making the game less fun.
It wasn’t that Bai Ning was too bad at the game, it was mainly this damn matchmaking system. Seeing her winning streak, it matched her with even more godly opponents and more AI-like teammates.
By the end, even Ning Xue couldn’t carry anymore. After winning several matches in a row, they started losing consecutively, and Bai Ning was getting a bit frustrated.
“Alright, let’s not play anymore. Let’s go eat first. We’ll just stay home and play this afternoon, it’s way too hot outside.”
Bai Ning got up and pulled Ning Xue toward the stairs. In Bai Ning’s eyes, people who could play outside on summer afternoons were all warriors.
Looking at the delicacies on the table, Bai Ning felt her appetite open up. After calling Ning Xue over, she started wolfing down the food.
The better she ate now, the more Bai Ning could remember her previous life when she ate those few-yuan shared meals at the cold company. Not only did they taste bad, but they also made her run to the bathroom non-stop in the afternoon.
Moreover, there were even people stealing her shared meals outside the company, which made her so angry she stomped her feet.
You even steal shared meals!
But now, she finally didn’t have to eat shared meals anymore!
Aunt Li stood to the side, watching Bai Ning eat like a starving ghost, and commented.
“Every time I watch the young lady eat, I feel my appetite opening up, but then I can only eat a couple of bites myself.”
“I think it’s great.”
Ning Xue had a smile on her face as she watched Bai Ning eat. No matter how Bai Ning ate, she found it adorable.
They ate quickly, and after finishing, Bai Ning and Ning Xue returned to the game room. Although Bai Ning usually took afternoon naps every day, she was too full now and couldn’t sleep at all.
“If we’re not sleeping, how about we watch a movie?”
Ning Xue suggested from the side.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything good recently. How about we watch a horror movie?”
A horror movie?
Hearing this, Bai Ning’s heart skipped a beat. She swallowed, thinking about those jump scares that would suddenly appear on screen. Actually, Bai Ning was still a bit scared.
Due to her parents’ influence from before, older generations always had some superstitious beliefs. Although Bai Ning was a firm materialist warrior, under daily influence, she was still inevitably affected to some extent.
“I don’t really mind. Aren’t you scared?”
“I am scared. I’ve watched all other types before, but I suddenly want to watch this today.”
Looking at Ning Xue’s expectant face beside her, and considering it was still daytime and she wouldn’t be watching alone, she… probably wouldn’t be scared, right?
Gritting her teeth, she couldn’t lose face in front of Ning Xue, so she put on a nonchalant expression.
Besides, thinking about Ning Xue’s quiet personality, if she got scared later, she would definitely burrow into her arms. Cuddling with a girl wouldn’t be a loss either.
“Sure, let’s watch it. I’m fine with it.”
Hearing Bai Ning agree, Ning Xue seemed a bit excited and immediately started searching on the computer.
Hehe, horror movies, Bai Ning would definitely be scared. When Bai Ning got scared, she would obediently burrow into her arms.
Ning Xue hadn’t really watched horror movies before and could only look around online to see which movies had high ratings.
After picking for a while, among various dark and scary movie posters, Ning Xue selected one that she thought looked the most terrifying and had a high rating.
“Let’s watch this one then.”
“Sure,” Bai Ning said while unconsciously leaning back a bit.
Ning Xue quickly pressed play, then also sat on the bed, but kept a distance of two body lengths from Bai Ning.
As the movie started playing on the computer, Ning Xue turned off the lights behind them and drew the curtains to block out the sunlight.
“We need some atmosphere, and it looks better with the projector screen.”
Suddenly, the entire room became pitch black, looking just like nighttime, with only the bright light from the projector screen.
Bai Ning suddenly felt some regret.
As the low, eerie background music began playing, the movie started. The atmosphere was built up almost instantly.
Bai Ning immediately straightened up, her small face tense, looking quite serious.
Why did she agree to watch this in a moment of madness? Wouldn’t it be better to watch some sweet romantic movies? And Ning Xue, why are you sitting so far away from me!
Bai Ning began trying to unfocus her eyes like she did in class, but what she could easily do during lessons was completely impossible now. She could only pretend to be relaxed while just looking at the subtitles below.
She would turn her head to scratch her shoulder from time to time, occasionally staring at the speakers in front, those speakers were so… speaker-like.
Although her eyes were fixed on the projector screen, her body slowly and imperceptibly moved toward Ning Xue.
