I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Not Like a Human
***
Bai Ning’s mood wasn’t very good right now.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t rested well, in fact, thanks to Nan Zha’s drugs, she had slept quite comfortably last night.
But when she woke up in the morning and looked at the messages on her phone, remembering what happened yesterday, Bai Ning felt like her future was completely bleak.
She sighed, stood up, pulled open the curtains and glanced outside. The morning sunlight was gentle and warm, perfect for taking a walk.
So Bai Ning picked up her fully charged phone from nearby, reached out and directly pulled the curtains shut, and instantly flopped back onto the bed.
What did the beautiful sunshine outside have to do with her anyway? Live for today, sleep for today, don’t let the pillow face the blanket in vain. A college student’s day should be spent sleeping well until the end, that’s how youth has no regrets.
Oh, except for the fact that there are 8 AM classes every day. That’s quite the life.
Although she really wanted to sleep, she was somewhat tired but strangely didn’t feel like sleeping, so Bai Ning decided to play a game first to relax.
She opened a MOBA game she used to play. Because she had been busy sucking up to who she thought was the female lead during that period, she was so busy that she had no time to play games, so Bai Ning hadn’t been online for a very long time.
Now that she was the female lead herself, what was there to be afraid of? She planned to log on and play, but as soon as she went online and saw the 99+ private messages on the right side, she froze.
Why were there so many private messages?
With a puzzled expression on her face, Bai Ning clicked open the private messages.
[Jiang Xiyue: Are you there?]
[Jiang Xiyue: Why aren’t you online?]
……..
[Jiang Xiyue: Are you there?]
The last message was sent this morning, almost like clocking in. Starting from a few months ago, after she finished her last game, this person had been sending her messages continuously, at least one per day.
After seeing the familiar ID, Bai Ning’s hands and feet felt a bit cold, but she still asked the system for confirmation.
“System, this Jiang Xiyue, is she the villainous supporting character I’m thinking of?”
[I regret to inform you that she is indeed that person]
Bai Ning finally felt relieved, relieved in the sense that she leaned back in her chair with a face full of despair.
Jiang Xiyue was originally someone she had met in the game a few months ago.
When you encounter teammates with Down syndrome in MOBA games, if you don’t curse at them, you’re giving them a thumbs up 👍🏻.
Bai Ning naturally couldn’t hold back, whenever she encountered such players, she would passionately engage in verbal combat.
This person called Jiang Xiyue was a teammate in one of her previous games. She played very well, but after she crushed the opposing team, they broke down and started cursing. The curses were so filthy that even Bai Ning felt she couldn’t stand it, yet this Jiang Xiyue showed no reaction at all.
At that time, Bai Ning had made zero progress in sucking up to the female lead. She had originally planned to play games to relax, but seeing how frustrating it was to play a game and still be so suppressed, she immediately helped her engage in verbal combat against the opposing team.
Then the two of them became friends and started playing together. At that time, Bai Ning’s activities consisted of sucking up to the female lead, playing games, and sleeping. During that period, she basically played games together with Jiang Xiyue.
She also learned that Jiang Xiyue was a doctor currently working at Yun City Central Hospital.
This wasn’t something Bai Ning deliberately inquired about, she had simply asked casually what Jiang Xiyue did for work, and Jiang Xiyue had revealed all her information. If Bai Ning hadn’t stopped her in time, Jiang Xiyue might have even given her her ID card and address.
This was just the tip of the iceberg. Occasionally, Jiang Xiyue would ask her strange questions, like what it meant to enjoy being cursed at. She just assumed the other person was playing some abstract game with her, so she responded in an equally abstract manner, though sometimes she felt like the other person wasn’t acting.
But she still didn’t believe there could be someone so lacking in common sense. After all, she was a doctor, yet she would even ask how to open a can. This was probably just playing abstract games.
Then she would occasionally get emo, like having internet depression hours, but Bai Ning wasn’t good at comforting people, so when encountering such situations, she would simply throw her a website link, telling her to go check it out, guaranteed to eliminate all worries.
From then on, she felt Jiang Xiyue was becoming increasingly abnormal, but she was just a gaming partner anyway, so she didn’t pay too much attention.
Her thought at the time was that she couldn’t rule out the possibility that Jiang Xiyue might be one of the female leads. This abstract behavior might be the silly and sweet type, since novels don’t need much logic.
So Bai Ning had also treated Jiang Xiyue as a suspected female lead.
However, later on, because she had more and more female leads and no time to play games, she hadn’t been online for a long time, until today when she finally had time to log on and check.
She didn’t expect that this Jiang Xiyue would be so persistent, sending her messages all the way until today. This surprised Bai Ning quite a bit.
The moment she learned that this was also a vicious female supporting character, Bai Ning couldn’t hold it together anymore.
“This broken world, don’t tell me everyone is a villainous supporting character and I’m the only female lead.”
[That’s not quite the case. After all, novels need to advance the plot, so there definitely can’t be too few villains. Having a few more is understandable. This Jiang Xiyue was originally a supporting character from the later part of the story, but you just happened to encounter her early. Let me show you her storyline now]
Bai Ning took a deep breath, knowing that complaining was useless. She calmed down and started reading, but the more she read, the wider her mouth opened.
Jiang Xiyue was actually the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, but the Jiang family didn’t have just her, she also had a younger brother. So the Jiang family raised her brother as the heir, naturally paying very little attention to Jiang Xiyue.
Jiang Xiyue had been ignored since childhood. Her parents were rarely home, and when they were, they only cared about her brother, seldom inquiring about her. But later, due to some accident, her brother got into trouble.
With only her left in the family, her parents seemed to place all their hopes on Jiang Xiyue, forcing her to study business knowledge without caring about her feelings at all.
But Jiang Xiyue preferred medicine because she liked the feeling of dissecting things. Whenever she saw bloody scenes, she would feel very relaxed. She would even use surgical knives to cut her own wrists.
Long-term oppression led to Jiang Xiyue’s emotional repression and self-isolation. So after she gained power, the first thing she did was to place her parents under house arrest, hand over the Jiang family to her trusted subordinates, and run off to become a medical expert herself.
Because the protagonist in the original story unlocked her heart, she fell in love with the protagonist.
However, she had some emotional deficits and didn’t understand this aspect at all, so she kept using methods she thought were correct, planning to eliminate everyone around the protagonist, leaving only her and the protagonist.
Someone with such thoughts naturally wouldn’t have a good ending. Later, the Jiang family went bankrupt, and she disappeared as well.
What kind of strange setting was this? Was this really something humans could write? Did writing novels really not require any logic? Could such a person really exist?
Bai Ning couldn’t understand how these words could form a coherent sentence.
