I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: See You Tomorrow?

***

Standing on her tiptoes, she took the tissue and wiped Ning Xue’s forehead.

For some reason, she felt like the gardenia fragrance on Ning Xue’s body had become even stronger.

“It’s, it’s nothing. Let’s go eat first.”

Looking at the pretty face so close to her, even though she had already entered sage mode, she couldn’t handle it right now. She frantically grabbed Bai Ning’s hand and pulled her toward the door.

[Ning Xue is shy and flustered, feedback value +106]

Being pulled along, Bai Ning’s lips curved up slightly.

Xiao Xue gets embarrassed so easily, she’s really cute.

She finally understood why bad women like to tease people, because seeing others flustered and shy really brings physical and mental pleasure. If only she could date a little angel like Ning Xue.

But what do couples usually do together?

As a single dog, Bai Ning had never dated anyone in her previous life before being transmigrated, so she had no understanding of these things.

Bai Ning: “Sigh, system, what do couples usually do together?”

System: [x]

Bai Ning: “What else!?”

System: [Find various places, wear various clothes and x]

Rolling her eyes, as expected, hoping this system would be useful made her a real fool.

After eating.

Su Youmeng’s rushed manuscript was partially poor quality, so it got rejected. After eating, she went home with a look of despair.

Only Bai Ning and Ning Xue were left. Since she had napped in the afternoon, Bai Ning wasn’t very sleepy now, but Ning Xue seemed somewhat tired.

It seemed like ever since she woke up in the afternoon, Ning Xue looked like she had been exercising, appearing somewhat listless.

“Xiao Xue, I’m not sleepy yet and want to play for a while. Why don’t you go take a bath and sleep first? I’ll come to bed later.”

Hearing this, Ning Xue pressed her lips together, thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied softly.

“I’ll wait for you. I’m not very sleepy either.”

Seeing that Ning Xue didn’t want to go to sleep, Bai Ning didn’t continue insisting and instead pointed at the computer and asked.

“Want to play together?”

“No thanks. I want to take a bath first, I feel sticky all over. I’ll just watch you play afterwards.”

Shaking her head, Ning Xue was indeed a bit tired, and having exercised in the afternoon, she didn’t want to play games anymore.

“OK, you go ahead then.”

While saying this, Bai Ning turned on the computer. Today when she played games with Ning Xue, although they didn’t lose many matches, the games were just frustrating, every match ended with negative KDA.

As soon as she logged on, a message popped up.

Jiang Xiyue: [Want to play?]

Raising an eyebrow, Bai Ning was somewhat surprised. She remembered that tomorrow was the Jiang family’s banquet, how did Jiang Xiyue still have time to play games?

But puzzled as she was, Bai Ning couldn’t ask. Right now, Jiang Xiyue didn’t know she recognized her.

Lemon King: [Sure]

Jiang Xiyue: [Good, can you turn on voice chat?]

Lemon King: [It’s not convenient for me right now, someone at home is sleeping]

Jiang Xiyue: [Oh, okay]

Although Ning Xue was in her own bedroom, separated by some distance from the gaming room, logically speaking, as long as she didn’t turn the volume too high, it wouldn’t affect Ning Xue.

But she didn’t want to voice chat with Jiang Xiyue. Setting aside Jiang Xiyue’s dangerous nature, who knows how this world works.

She still remembered that whether meeting Nan Zha or Ning Xue, Bai Ning would feel an inexplicable fear, like a rabbit’s helplessness in front of a wolf.

Previously she had always thought of it as the feeling of a villainess being suppressed by the female lead. Although this feeling gradually disappeared later, she always remembered it.

System: [You’re not wrong about that. After all, it’s mutual, the female lead would definitely feel scared and disgusted when meeting the villainess]

Bai Ning: “Ah, will Jiang Xiyue suddenly feel disgusted when she sees me tomorrow and then send people to beat me up?”

System: [Perhaps?]

Bai Ning: “Don’t be like that, I’m scared.”

System: [What’s the big deal? Actually, it’s better this way, wouldn’t that help you gain feedback value faster?]

Bai Ning: “Suddenly I don’t feel like I’m that desperate for feedback value anymore.”

System: [The patience you show now is the necessary path to becoming a domineering older sister. When the 3-year period is up, it’ll be time for your return]

Regarding the system’s empty promises, Bai Ning sneered and rolled her eyes. She had eaten enough of these false promises when she was working.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiyue didn’t say anything that would put her in a difficult position. After Bai Ning refused, she started the game.

Just like in the morning, Bai Ning was carried again, just by a different person.

Looking at the victory screen, Bai Ning contentedly took off her headphones. Finally winning a few matches, she could have a good night’s sleep.

Lemon King: [Getting a bit sleepy, I’m logging off. We can play together again when we’re both free]

Jiang Xiyue: [Okay, see you tomorrow]

Bai Ning raised an eyebrow. Tomorrow? Tomorrow she had to attend the banquet, so she probably wouldn’t be able to play.

Lemon King: [Tomorrow might not work, I have something to do tomorrow. I’ll call you when I’m free another day]

Unfortunately, before Bai Ning could send this message, Jiang Xiyue had already logged off.

But Bai Ning didn’t mind, just assuming Jiang Xiyue had gone to rest. She was getting a bit sleepy now too.

“Mmm~”

Standing up and stretching, Bai Ning let out a long sigh of relief and slowly walked outside.

Just thinking about tomorrow’s banquet made Bai Ning feel uncomfortable all over. It wasn’t about Nan Zha anymore, Nan Zha would definitely be too busy to bother with her at the banquet. She just found banquets annoying in general.

“Whatever, tomorrow I’ll just find a corner, eat and drink, and that’ll be it.”

Bai Ning still planned to use her previous method for attending banquets, minimize her presence as much as possible and just get through it.

Gently turning the door handle, Bai Ning slowly poked her little head inside.

Ning Xue seemed to be asleep. The room was completely quiet, with only the bedside lamp still on.

Afraid of waking Ning Xue, Bai Ning stood on her tiptoes and tiptoed toward the other side of the bed.

“Huh?”

When she reached the bedside, she discovered there was still a cup of milk on the nightstand. It looked like it was still warm, with a bit of steam rising from it, and there was a note beside it.

“Drinking milk before bed helps with sleep. Xiao Ning, drink up quickly.”

Pressing her lips together, she picked up the milk and could still feel its warmth, it was the perfect temperature. This kind of attention to small details was the best companionship in life.

Previously when Ning Xue rested with her, she would always pour her a cup of hot water to drink before bed, but that was when they were going to sleep at the same time, this was different.

Ning Xue really is a little angel.

Holding the milk, Bai Ning drank it all in one go. Licking the milk residue from her lips, Bai Ning felt warm all over.

Gently getting into bed and covering herself with the blanket, she looked at Ning Xue’s pretty face so close to her. She was sleeping soundly, her long black hair scattered messily on the pillow, making her skin look even fairer.
