I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: I Can’t Handle This

***

[Jiang Xiyue: You finally came back]

Just as Bai Ning was still thinking about things, another message came from the other side.

Bai Ning didn’t know how to reply. After reading Jiang Xiyue’s story, she inexplicably felt afraid, afraid that Jiang Xiyue would dissect her, and this Jiang Xiyue had been continuously sending her messages for several months, which made her extremely panicked.

She could only maintain the same normal tone as before when talking to Jiang Xiyue.

[Lemon King: You’re so persistent. I ran into something bad earlier, but now that I’ve dealt with it, I finally have some time]

No problem, Nan Zha = bad woman

Anyway, Jiang Xiyue didn’t know who she was talking about, so what’s wrong with her talking big? If you can’t even talk big online, then what’s the point of being online? She, Bai Ning, was the boss online! She could do whatever the hell she wanted!

[Jiang Xiyue: Oh]

[Lemon King: Want to start a game?]

[Jiang Xiyue: Sure]

………

Staring dumbfounded at the scrolling screen, Bai Ning’s small mouth was slightly agape, her face full of surprise.

How could it be that after just a month of absence, she had evolved to a degree that she didn’t recognize? Wasn’t it said that Jiang Xiyue was naturally emotionally deficient and cold to others? Was this really her?

This was completely not what was advertised.

“I ***ing **** you ****”

“I’ll **** your ****”

“You mother****”

Looking at the screen that was still continuously scrolling, this was completely different from the person in her impression.

She hadn’t played for over two months, and MOBA games always updated and iterated quickly. She had no idea about some of the newly released characters and was directly overwhelmed by the information gap, though she could still barely hold her lane.

But her young master teammate who was collapsing even more thoroughly started directly flaming her.

Bai Ning felt she also had problems. At first she didn’t reply, but as her teammate’s insults became dirtier, she couldn’t hold back anymore. Just as she was about to type, a line of text appeared and the chat interface started scrolling non-stop.

“Your insults sound like you’re acting cute”

With one sentence that completely killed the match, Jiang Xiyue chose to directly mute everyone after this sentence, then muted herself.

Bai Ning was stunned watching this. This was quite different from the silent Jiang Xiyue in her impression.

They played several more games, and basically every game Jiang Xiyue would simply inquire about the enemy’s family situation, then cordially greet the enemy’s family members.

After another game ended, Bai Ning finally couldn’t hold back and asked Jiang Xiyue.

[Lemon King: How did you become so skilled?]

[Jiang Xiyue: After watching a lot, naturally you learn]

After settling for a month, she directly shocked Bai Ning speechless in one go. Anyway, Bai Ning’s gaming experience that afternoon was quite good. Whenever someone insulted her, Jiang Xiyue would immediately fire back and could make the enemy so intimidated they didn’t dare say a word.

“So satisfying!”

“This is what gaming should be like”

Although she was afraid of Jiang Xiyue, winning games was still something to feel good about, and seeing her young master teammate’s mental breakdown also made her feel amused.

It seems this Jiang Xiyue wasn’t some strange person after all. Her butterfly effect was really good.

Just as Bai Ning was smugly thinking about this, a message came over.

[Jiang Xiyue: I want to meet you in person. I’m very interested in your body]

The originally good mood instantly sank to the bottom.

I can’t handle this.

Her pretty little face twitched slightly. Bai Ning took back her previous words. Sure enough, there were no normal people around her.

However, she wasn’t panicking at all now, because although she knew Jiang Xiyue’s information, Jiang Xiyue didn’t understand her at all, and their only means of contact was this game.

As long as she didn’t log into the game, Jiang Xiyue couldn’t do anything to her. She had already provoked quite a few villainous supporting characters. Although adding another Jiang Xiyue wouldn’t be much, this Jiang Xiyue obviously didn’t look like a normal person.

Just from reading the descriptions in the original work, Bai Ning felt her scalp tingling, so she still planned to keep a respectful distance. Now it was still early before Jiang Xiyue’s storyline. At this time, Jiang Xiyue was probably just planning to rebel against the Jiang family and probably didn’t have time to deal with her. After all, she was just a gaming partner to her, not anyone important.

She didn’t believe Jiang Xiyue would be so persistent in looking for her.

So she planned to ignore Jiang Xiyue. As long as she did this, she would be safe.

“I’m really a noob”

Bai Ning didn’t reply but directly exited the game.

………

Inside a villa in Yun City

The golden-haired woman stared blankly at the dimmed avatar on the computer screen, just like she had months ago.

However, today’s situation was different from the past. Not only was there no one left in the family who could control her, she had also found information about the person she’d been thinking about day and night. But she still had to wait a few more days, until she completely took control before she could go.

Picking up a piece of paper nearby, looking at the white-haired girl on it, her stiff mouth corners slightly curved upward. She opened a familiar website, skillfully clicked “continue to access,” and the room returned to silence.

………

Since she’d had enough fun, it was time to sleep. This kind of life where you play then sleep was really comfortable.

Lying contentedly on the bed, Bai Ning was about to get some good rest, but just as she lay down, her phone rang.

Puzzled, she picked up her phone. Originally drowsy, she instantly became alert when she saw the caller’s name, and cold sweat began to form on her forehead.

Ning Xue, someone she’d met when she first entered university. Because she had just transmigrated and was just starting college, after mistakenly thinking she was a villainous supporting character, she was certain there would definitely be a female lead in this university.

Sure enough, through her diligent investigation, she found someone who matched the female lead’s background.

She still remembered the first time she saw Ning Xue, it was in a small alley outside the school. Ning Xue was being surrounded and bullied by several women. When someone tried to cut her face with a small knife, she stepped in to save Ning Xue.

She could still recall Ning Xue’s gaze at that time, weakness mixed with a trace of despair.

At that time, she was very certain that Ning Xue was definitely one of the female leads.

But it wasn’t until yesterday, in the message given by the system, that Bai Ning learned that if she hadn’t helped Ning Xue that day, Ning Xue would definitely have been disfigured. Although she was later saved by Feng Aotian, irreversible damage had still been caused.

In the original story, it was also because of this incident that Ning Xue’s temperament changed drastically, from weak to cold, and she developed a pathological fondness for Feng Aotian. Anyone who got close to Feng Aotian, she would mercilessly eliminate.

If she had received this call in the past, Bai Ning might have been very happy, but after experiencing yesterday’s events and remembering the system’s words, she really couldn’t be happy now.

What kind of bullshit plot is this? Someone who could write this kind of plot must’ve been possessed by a ghost.

Her facial expression changed, and finally gritting her teeth, she still answered the phone.
