I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Tsundere?

***

Not only Nan Zha, but even Bai Ning’s expression didn’t look very good.

Although she knew she was the female lead and probably wouldn’t encounter anything major, the feeling of being drugged and schemed against really made her very unhappy.

Even if Nan Zha didn’t say anything, she would definitely go cause trouble for Nan Ziyue later. She wasn’t some delicate female lead, she had plenty of strength and methods at her disposal.

Just as Bai Ning was still thinking about how to get revenge on Nan Ziyue, a warm hand pressed against her forehead, instantly making Bai Ning shiver.

“What, what are you doing?”

Instinctively backing away a little, Bai Ning asked Nan Zha with a flushed face.

“Didn’t you just say you felt dizzy? I’m checking if your body temperature is normal.”

Nan Zha really had no other intentions. She saw that Bai Ning’s expression didn’t look very good and was just a bit worried.

“No, I’m fine. I was just thinking about some unpleasant things.”

Hearing Bai Ning’s response, Nan Zha breathed a sigh of relief, her expression slightly relaxing as she stood up.

“Don’t think about it for now. Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up first, the sooner we go, the sooner we can return.”

Seeing Nan Zha’s sincere expression and concerned look, this made Bai Ning’s impression of her change somewhat.

Originally, she thought Nan Zha would be the type of villainess who bullied the female lead, because drugging her and spanking her before was proof of that.

But now it seemed like that wasn’t quite the case. She did drug her, but there was no real threat, and ultimately that incident was her own foolish mistake.

Being hit at the company was also because her excessive curiosity led her to look through someone else’s privacy, the beating wasn’t undeserved.

Although Nan Zha’s attitude toward her these past few days didn’t seem very good, it hadn’t caused any substantial harm.

Bai Ning couldn’t help but think.

Maybe she was being a bit too sensitive. After all, Ning Xue, as a villainess, had such a good relationship with her. Perhaps Nan Zha could be the same?

Looking at Nan Zha who was preparing to stand up, Bai Ning bit her lip, deciding to test what Nan Zha’s true feelings toward her were.

“Nan, Sister Nan, I feel a bit weak. Could you, could you carry me to the car?”

Closing her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, Bai Ning spoke hesitantly.

Almost instantly, Nan Zha spun around, her face showing an expression of disbelief, as if she suspected she had heard wrong.

Startled by Nan Zha’s sudden reaction, Bai Ning began to regret it. She shouldn’t have said that just now, it was too aggressive. Nan Zha definitely wouldn’t agree.

“If, if it’s not possible, then forget it. I…”

“I can.”

But before she could finish speaking, Nan Zha abruptly interrupted her. Although her tone sounded calm, if you listened carefully, you could still hear a trace of excitement in her voice.

[Nan Zha happy, excited, feedback value +135]

Before Bai Ning could react, Nan Zha directly wrapped her arms around Bai Ning’s small waist and lifted her up.

By the time Bai Ning realized what was happening, she was already being held in Nan Zha’s arms, in a princess carry no less.

Bai Ning’s small face instantly turned bright red. This was the first time someone had carried her like this, and a strange feeling spread through her heart.

Compared to Bai Ning’s shyness, Nan Zha was now so excited she was almost ready to jump for joy.

Bai Ning had actively acted spoiled toward her, she hadn’t seen this in a long time.

In the past few months, although Bai Ning’s attitude toward her had been very good, you could even say she had been fawning over her, especially since she had given Bai Ning plenty of cold treatment back then.

But she could also sense that back then, Bai Ning seemed to place herself in a very low position. When she didn’t have feelings for her, it didn’t matter, but after falling for Bai Ning, she felt it wasn’t quite right.

Although relationships needed one party to take the lead, and Nan Zha knew she would definitely be the dominant one, when the other party degraded themselves too much, the relationship wouldn’t last long.

After all, maybe one casual comment from you would make the other person panic and overthink, but they wouldn’t dare say anything about it. This would inevitably create a rift sooner or later.

Nan Zha had also realized this point, so after becoming aware of the problem, she had been trying her best to appear more easygoing in front of Bai Ning.

But with her naturally aloof personality, this was still somewhat difficult, and her mind would always conjure up thoughts of wanting to bully Bai Ning thoroughly, making her plan impossible to implement.

Now that Bai Ning had suddenly made a request of her, and in such a spoiled tone, this made Nan Zha extremely happy, because it symbolized that the barriers between them had basically disappeared.

This meant that the day when she and Bai Ning would be together was not far off.

The more Nan Zha thought about it, the happier she became, and her pace unconsciously quickened.

[Nan Zha excited, happy, feedback value +246]

Holding Bai Ning in her arms, walking briskly toward the outside of the banquet, although this was the guest room area, it was inevitable that they would encounter some people.

This was Bai Ning’s first time being carried like this, and she felt like her whole body was about to turn red. Originally, she wanted to ask Nan Zha to just carry her on her back, but for some reason, she felt that Nan Zha’s embrace was warm and fragrant, and the thought of getting down just disappeared.

However, afraid that others would see her in this embarrassing state, Bai Ning simply turned her head and buried it in Nan Zha’s embrace.

Feeling the tingling sensation from her chest and looking at Bai Ning who was like a little turtle, the corners of Nan Zha’s mouth slightly curved upward.

She went directly to the parking garage without going into the banquet to find Xia Zhichu, since carrying Bai Ning was somewhat inconvenient. She just sent a message to Xia Zhichu to let her know.

After settling Bai Ning in the back seat of the car, Nan Zha didn’t sit in the driver’s seat but sat in the back seat with Bai Ning, making a phone call for a driver to come pick them up.

It wasn’t that she was being pretentious, mainly because she had been drinking tonight. Although she was still relatively sober, she was very law-abiding, and she knew the rule about not driving after drinking.

Sensing Nan Zha sitting beside her, Bai Ning also sobered up from her earlier dazed state. Seeing the faint smile playing at the corners of Nan Zha’s mouth, she was also certain that Nan Zha probably didn’t harbor any ill intentions toward her.

On one hand, there was her attitude just now, and on the other hand, there was the desperate searching expression she had seen on Nan Zha’s face at the banquet.

Thinking back to recent events, Nan Zha’s protection of her, the system’s feedback notifications, and looking at Nan Zha who had just been secretly observing her but suddenly turned her head away when she noticed Bai Ning’s gaze, Bai Ning felt she had discovered the truth.

There was only one truth!

That was — Nan Zha was definitely a tsundere!

Bai Ning was completely convinced of her speculation.

Although Nan Zha came from a good family background, due to Nan Ziyue and her own aloof personality, she had very few friends around her growing up, and Nan Zha seemed to act like she didn’t care.

But precisely because of this, Bai Ning was even more convinced of her deduction.

The more you pretend not to care about something, the more it shows you actually care about it.
