I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Testing the Heartbeat

***

Bai Ning was able to survive such a violent collision with only minor external injuries. Although it looked frightening with blood from scrapes all over her body, when she saw this scene at the time, she felt her blood rushing and nearly lost her rationality.

She hurriedly brought her to her private hospital for personal diagnosis. After checking her entire body, there was nothing wrong at all. After the tension ended, she felt curious.

“Maybe I was just lucky.”

Under Jiang Xiyue’s gaze, Bai Ning’s eyes were somewhat evasive.

She couldn’t possibly say that she was the female lead, and these things were normal for her, it was impossible for anything to happen to her.

Not to mention whether Jiang Xiyue would believe it, she herself couldn’t even say it out loud.

“It’s a blessing in disguise.”

Jiang Xiyue had a smile at the corner of her mouth, seeing that Bai Ning was avoiding the question. But as long as Bai Ning was fine, it was all good in the end. Having a few small secrets was quite normal.

Although she was a bit afraid of Jiang Xiyue, this was just normal doctor-patient questioning. Even though Jiang Xiyue’s gaze always had a strange feeling to it, this normal atmosphere made Bai Ning breathe a sigh of relief.

Lowering her head to avoid Jiang Xiyue’s line of sight, after hearing that no one was hurt, she relaxed much more. After relaxing, she began to recall the events of that night.

This definitely wasn’t as simple as an accident. That large truck seemed to have a target, specifically aiming at the rear of the car, clearly targeting her and Nan Zha.

Nan Zha might have many enemies, but she rarely left home, and the people she had offended could be counted on one hand. Combined with what happened at the banquet that night, she already had an answer in her heart.

Just as Bai Ning was still thinking about the problem, a warm hand pressed against her forehead.

“Eh!?”

Making a sound of confusion, just as Bai Ning was about to lift her head to see what was happening, a scent of gardenia flowers hit her face. The exquisite face was right in front of her, feeling the breath hitting her own face, Bai Ning’s small face instantly turned completely red.

“Wah! You, you, I, I…”

Startled, she suddenly retreated backward, but her body was already sore and painful. This pull made Bai Ning grimace as she looked at the person in front of her, speaking somewhat incoherently.

“Why did you suddenly get so close?”

While speaking, she also cautiously glanced toward the outside.

Even intimate moments should consider timing and setting, right? Nan Zha was still outside, and Jiang Xiyue just came right up to her.

“Taking your temperature.”

Looking at the expressionless pretty face, as if that scent of gardenia flowers was still in her nose, Bai Ning’s heart, which had just calmed down, began to feel restless again.

“Taking, taking temperature shouldn’t be done like this, right?”

“Because I temporarily don’t have the equipment, and you suddenly stopped talking, I could only temporarily use this method.”

Jiang Xiyue, except for a trace of amusement in the depths of her eyes, maintained a calm expression on her face throughout. In a place where Bai Ning couldn’t see, she hid the thermometer on the table in her sleeve.

“Really, really?”

Looking at Jiang Xiyue’s expressionless way of explaining to her, Bai Ning began to doubt whether she had been making a big fuss earlier. She indeed hadn’t seen a thermometer on the table, and perhaps this was very normal for doctors.

“Don’t question my professional medical knowledge.”

“Alright, now it’s not just about checking temperature. Because of the external impact, it might cause internal injuries, which could lead to irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, and other issues. Now I need to check your heartbeat.”

Before Bai Ning could recover, a series of professional terms came out of Jiang Xiyue’s mouth again.

Unable to understand, Bai Ning could only respond in a daze.

“Oh, oh.”

After getting a response, Jiang Xiyue couldn’t control the slight upward curve of her mouth, and quickly walked to Bai Ning’s front.

When she saw Jiang Xiyue quickly walking toward her, that voluptuous figure gave Bai Ning a full sense of oppression. Bai Ning instinctively shrank back a little, but quickly thought that it was just an examination, so what was there to be afraid of? It would be strange if she kept retreating, so she moved forward a bit again.

Jiang Xiyue walked in front of her, put on the stethoscope that had been hanging around her neck, picked up the stethoscope head, and reached toward Bai Ning’s chest.

Bai Ning looked at the stethoscope on her chest, feeling a strange sensation, and a blush appeared on her face.

It’s just a normal stethoscope, it’s fine, it’s fine.

Comforting herself in her heart, Bai Ning endured the strange feeling and looked at Jiang Xiyue in front of her, who was seriously examining the diagnostic area. That serious gaze made Bai Ning feel somewhat relieved, and her tense body relaxed slightly.

This way she can’t feel the specific touch. The clothes are still too much of a hindrance. It would be better if they weren’t there.

Looking at the patient gown in front of her, Jiang Xiyue’s eyes flickered.

“The clothes are a bit thick, it’s affecting the examination.”

No sooner said than done. Just as the words fell, Jiang Xiyue directly inserted the stethoscope head under that thin patient gown while Bai Ning had a confused expression on her face.

Feeling the slight cold touch transmitted through her skin, Bai Ning’s whole body trembled violently, and the blush on her face appeared instantly.

“Really, really need to do it this way?”

Her body trembling slightly, feeling the stethoscope head exploring inside, she bit her lip tightly and endured the strange sensation while asking.

How did she remember that during auscultation, the stethoscope head didn’t need to be placed inside? And why, when the heart was clearly on the left side, was she listening on the right side?

“Don’t talk, it’s affecting the auscultation.”

The serious expression and calm words made it difficult for Bai Ning to judge what was really happening.

Jiang Xiyue was a doctor, her professional knowledge was solid, this should be normal… like hell it was.

Even if she was inexperienced, she wasn’t an idiot. This was obviously not the way to examine someone. Not to mention whether the position was right, why did the hand need to be gripping as well?

[Jiang Xiyue excited, comfortable, happy, feedback value +279]

Along with the system’s prompt, Bai Ning finally confirmed that Jiang Xiyue was doing this on purpose. But even though she knew Jiang Xiyue was doing it intentionally, she still didn’t dare to move around.

What if it stimulated Jiang Xiyue? That wouldn’t be such a simple matter.

Although she didn’t know why Jiang Xiyue was so interested in her, perhaps it was because of the damn female lead’s aura, the kind that inexplicably attracted villainous supporting characters to bully her.

As time passed, Bai Ning’s body began to tremble more violently, the blush on her face gradually deepened, her breathing became rapid, and it looked like she was about to be unable to endure it.

However, just one second before Bai Ning was about to be unable to endure it, Jiang Xiyue directly withdrew her hand.

“Huff~ Huff~”

The instant Jiang Xiyue withdrew the stethoscope, Bai Ning’s body went limp and she collapsed into the chair. Her tense body instantly relaxed, and she breathed heavily.
