When the Female Lead Becomes Obsessive – Chapter 44

Volume Two: Those Years When I Was the School Bully

Kisses, Hugs, and Lifting You High

Early morning. The dew was heavy.

Wen Nuan looked in the mirror, raising a hand to touch the stem of the rose on her right breast. It didn’t hurt, itch, or burn.

There were too many things she needed to find answers for.

Why was Song Ci You Jiayi, and You Jiayi Song Ci?

Why had this tattoo moved from the inside of her thigh to the front of her right breast?

Why was this rose slowly starting to turn red, and why was there a burning sensation each time it did?

…..

These past few days, Wen Nuan’s mind had been muddled.

However, there was something that made her happy: being able to meet and fall in love with her once again. Wen Nuan felt that all the problems before her seemed less irritating now.

Wen Nuan glanced at the still-sleeping Song Ci and carefully went out to buy breakfast.

The phone alarm rang. Song Ci groggily opened her eyes and reached out to turn it off.

It felt like a long time since she’d last been woken up by an alarm?!

Rubbing her aching head, Song Ci slowly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The sound of a door closing came from the living room. Song Ci paused.

It was only just past 5 AM. Had Song Minshu come back this early?

It had already been a month since Song Minshu last came home. The timing of his returns was uncertain, as were the reasons. But the two of them shared only silence, each minding their own business, not even exchanging the most basic greetings.

Song Ci dragged her unusually exhausted body and groggy head outward.

“You’re awake?”

Song Ci froze, head snapping up. She saw Wen Nuan setting down a pile of takeout boxes on the dining table, then laying them out one by one.

Seeing Song Ci standing there blankly, Wen Nuan smiled. “What’s wrong? Still sleepy?”

In an instant, consciousness returned.

Song Ci remembered everything that happened last night, and her mind cleared considerably.

She remembered it all.

Her passion with Wen Nuan, her argument with Wen Nuan, and the fact that Wen Nuan liked her.

Wen Nuan watched as Song Ci’s blank expression gradually turned into a silly grin. She walked over and touched her forehead. “What’s this? What are you smiling foolishly about?”

Song Ci hugged Wen Nuan, burying her face in her embrace. “Seeing you the moment I open my eyes… I’m so happy, so blissful. It’s not a dream. I can hold you, smell your familiar scent. It’s so real.”

A faint smile appeared in Wen Nuan’s eyes. “Afraid it’s not real? How about you hit me and see if it hurts?”

“That’s true!” Song Ci raised her hand and slapped herself, then grinned in pleasant surprise. “Ow, it hurts! It’s real.”

Wen Nuan: “……”

She raised her hand to rub Song Ci’s cheek, saying helplessly, “I told you to hit me. Why did you hit yourself?”

Song Ci wrapped her arms around Wen Nuan’s waist. “I couldn’t bear to hit you. My heart aches for you.”

Wen Nuan was moved. “If you hit yourself, doesn’t my heart ache too?”

Song Ci’s eyes sparkled as she smiled. “Your heart aches for me?”

“Mhm, my heart aches for you.”

“Then you have to dote on me lots and lots, okay?” Song Ci asked expectantly.

“And how do you want me to dote on you?” Wen Nuan stroked her lips, coaxing softly.

Song Ci couldn’t handle Wen Nuan’s suggestive teasing. She leaned in for an urgent kiss, words spilling out between their lips and tongues.

“Anything is fine… gentle, fierce… as long as it’s you, I want it all…”

“Hiss…”

Song Ci looked guiltily at the cut on Wen Nuan’s lip. “…Sorry.”

Wen Nuan licked it; her tongue tasted blood. “Yesterday’s had just healed. Good grief, you bit it open again today.”

Song Ci stood up, embarrassed. “My bad. There’s antiseptic at home, I’ll go get it for you.”

“No need,” Wen Nuan pulled Song Ci back, teasing, “It’s fine. I’m sturdy, small wounds like this heal quickly. It’ll be fine in a bit. I can take your bites.”

Wen Nuan had rarely been sick growing up; she was strong and healthy. Even wounds on her body healed quickly, rarely leaving scars, except for the burn scar on her ring finger.

Strangely enough, the scar on her ring finger was like the rose on her chest, always following her. Since it didn’t affect her in any way, Wen Nuan hadn’t paid it much mind.

Song Ci still felt bad. “Sorry, I won’t do it next time.”

“It’s fine, bite if you want to,” Wen Nuan tapped her nose affectionately. “I’ll let you bite me all over, okay?”

The System tutted: 【Oho, impressive. You can even make dirty jokes now?】

Wen Nuan’s lips curved. “Did you really think I was just playing house before?”

Back when she used to string men along, whether they were the pure ingenue type or the wild type, she could play the part perfectly, making men obsessed with her, willingly spending money on her.

A live demonstration: three sentences, and she got a man to spend 180,000 for her!

Song Ci’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Really!?”

Wen Nuan: “……”

This female lead’s reaction stunned her!

Shouldn’t she be showing embarrassment or shyness?

Why did the female lead look like she was eager to try, with such a fierce posture?

Did she f%cking unlock some special fetish of the female lead?

The System sighed in admiration: 【This generation’s female lead looks like a tough one¹. Host, I think you’re in for it.】

Wen Nuan: “……”

“We’ll talk about it later!” Wen Nuan looked at the breakfast on the table. “Eat first, or we’ll be late for school.”

“Mhm,” Song Ci replied obediently. “Then I’ll eat. After eating, can I still kiss you?”

Wen Nuan: “……”

Song Ci held up three fingers, swearing, “I won’t bite you.”

Wen Nuan pressed her forehead. “…Hurry up and eat.” She glanced at the clock on the wall. “If we start eating now, we still have five minutes.”

Song Ci immediately buried her head and ate furiously.

Wen Nuan watched her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Slow down…”

And then—

They were both late for morning self-study.

Zhang Wei turned around and asked, “Zhao-jie, how come you and Song Ci are both late today?”

Lately, these two had been going to school together, leaving together, eating together—everyone was already used to it.

Plus, under Song Ci’s influence, Zhao Wen Nuan hadn’t been late as often and had even received praise from the disciplinary director several times.

But after just a few days of keeping it up, Zhao Wen Nuan was suddenly late today, and she even dragged Song Ci into being late with her?

It made people sigh that Zhao Wen Nuan was still impressive², managing to make even Song Ci late.

Song Ci pursed her lips, her face slightly red, saying nothing.

Wen Nuan said calmly, “There was a fire early this morning. We were putting it out at home, so we were late.”

Song Ci lowered her head, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly upward.

“What!? A fire?” Zhang Wei exclaimed. “Then… then was the fire big? Did you or Song Ci get hurt?”

“Yeah? Are you guys okay?” Yan Ni was also startled.

Wen Nuan licked the cut on her lip. “Hiss, the fire was pretty big. Took a hell of an effort to put it out.”

Zhang Wei looked at the corner of Wen Nuan’s mouth and asked, “Zhao-jie, how did your mouth get busted again?”

He clearly remembered it had healed?

“Got it while putting out the fire,” Wen Nuan smiled. “Someone didn’t keep their word, said they’d help me put out the fire together. Good grief, the fire just got bigger and bigger, so my mouth ended up like this.”

Yan Ni watched as Song Ci’s head lowered further and further, her face getting redder and redder, all the way down to her neck, looking exactly like a cooked crayfish.

Zhang Wei’s mouth fell open. “It was that serious?”

“Of course it was serious? Otherwise, why would Song Ci and I both be late?” Wen Nuan glanced at the teacher by the door. “Alright, kids shouldn’t ask too many questions about adult matters. The teacher’s here, turn around.”

Zhang Wei and Yan Ni turned back. Wen Nuan looked at the increasingly flushed Song Ci.

She leaned closer, chuckling softly. “What? Shy now? You weren’t shy when you were lying on top of me saying you wanted more?”

Song Ci blushed, whispering, “That… that’s different.”

“How is it different?” Wen Nuan asked, puzzled.

Song Ci looked at the corner of Wen Nuan’s mouth. “The place was different, the environment was different, so naturally, the way to handle it is different.”

“……” Wen Nuan smiled. “Ah Ci, I used to think you were quite a steady little girl. How come I find you’ve changed so much since I came back this time?”

If she didn’t know the female lead’s world plotline, Wen Nuan would have thought the female lead was a wild and unrestrained person!

Who knew she played so wild?!

【Indeed, compared to you, the female lead is much more formidable in this aspect.】 The System pondered. 【As expected of the Child of Heaven³, amazing in every aspect.】

Wen Nuan: “……”

Hey, no praising one while stepping on the other.

“That’s not right though? The female lead clearly seemed asexual before, how come she’s like fiery passion this time back?” Wen Nuan narrowed her eyes. “Is this your doing?”

The System exclaimed: 【Ours? Then let’s talk. The female lead in the last world turned bent—we can treat that as an accident. The female lead in this world turned bent again—how do you explain that?】

Wen Nuan: “……”

【See, you’re silent. Silence means admission. Which means you are responsible for the female lead turning bent. By the same logic,】 the System smiled faintly, 【the female lead becoming fiery passion is also because of you. As for the reason, I think it’s like they say, ‘proximity to cinnabar makes one red, proximity to ink makes one black’⁴.】

Wen Nuan: “……”

She forced a laugh. “Hey, I remember there was a button to report the system somewhere, where did it go?”

【……】 The System immediately knew when to yield. 【My mistake, Host.】

“Changed?” Song Ci smiled faintly. “Actually, I never changed. I just hid it all away.”

Her true self was a bit ugly; she was afraid of scaring Wen Nuan, so she secretly hid away.

A slight look of surprise flashed in Wen Nuan’s eyes. “Don’t hide. I’m not afraid.”

Song Ci’s pupils trembled, hope flickering in her deep eyes. “Can I… not hide?”

“Mhm, don’t hide anymore,” Wen Nuan stroked her hair, fingertips tracing her brows and eyes. “Come out, let me embrace you, okay?”

She wanted to see the real her, and she also wanted her to see the real Wen Nuan.

Come out together.

“Even if I’m like a lunatic—gloomy, extreme, twisted, crazy—you’re still not afraid?” Song Ci felt her psyche was twisted, dark.

A trace of heartache flashed in Wen Nuan’s eyes. “Will you hurt me?”

“I won’t,” Song Ci said quickly. “I won’t.”

Even if she hurt herself, she would never hurt Wen Nuan.

“Then isn’t that settled,” Wen Nuan smiled, her expression gentle. “Ah Ci, I’m not afraid of anything you do to me. I like your initiative, I like everything about you.”

I like how your heart and eyes are full of me.

“Then can I make a tiny request?” Song Ci held up her pinky finger.

Seeing Song Ci looking so cautious, Wen Nuan’s heart softened. “Mhm, go ahead. I’ll agree to anything.”

Song Ci took a deep breath and said seriously, “Can we… do that kind of thing from the morning every day?”

She liked Wen Nuan’s touch and caress; she was addicted to Wen Nuan’s kisses and heat.

Wen Nuan: “……”

Thinking Wen Nuan hadn’t heard clearly, she raised her voice slightly. “…Can we?”

【Host, go for it! Don’t chicken out! It’s just every day. If you feel drained, I can provide you with pills to make you sing night after night⁵, full of energy.】 The System cheered.

Wen Nuan: “……”

She pressed her cheek, a wicked smile playing on her lips. “Ah Ci, remember what you said, okay? Don’t cry when the time comes.”

Song Ci: “……”

Did she accidentally unlock some special fetish of Wen Nuan’s?

Why would she cry just from touching and kissing?

The author has something to say:

Female Lead (making a tiny request): I want kisses, hugs, and lifting high.

Wen Nuan (wicked smile): You’re still too naive.

System (sighing with emotion): It’s all thanks to my excellent teaching.

The previous chapter is being revised. No need to state the reason, you all know the way.

Because it was locked, adding an extra update for my little cuties.

Double the happiness
