When the Female Lead Becomes Obsessive – Chapter 57

Volume Three: Those Years I Was a Wangye

Improper Thoughts

The lake water was very dirty, full of waterweeds and duckweed, the stench almost making Wen Nuan faint.

If it weren’t for investigating Lin Tinghan’s identity, she would never have let Fang Yongsi push her into the lake.

Seeing Lin Tinghan’s figure enter the water, Wen Nuan pretended to drown and struggle.

When Lin Tinghan saw Wen Nuan struggling in the water, she was so frightened that she immediately swam over, held Wen Nuan, and swam towards the shore.

Qi Hanrong and Ruilin quickly pulled Wen Nuan out of the water. Ruilin turned and pulled Lin Tinghan up as well, saying worriedly, “Young Miss, are you alright?”

Lin Tinghan had no time to pay attention to Ruilin. She immediately crawled to Wen Nuan’s side and said anxiously, “Wen Nuan, how are you? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

She looked at Ruilin and shouted, losing control, “Go call a doctor, quickly!”

“Alright, alright, This servant will go immediately.” Ruilin immediately got up to find a doctor.

Wen Nuan spat out a few mouthfuls of water and gasped for breath, “I’m fine, I just choked on a few mouthfuls of water, don’t worry.”

Lin Tinghan patted Wen Nuan’s chest to help her breathe more easily. “I’ve asked Ruilin to find Gu-daifu¹. We’ll have Gu-daifu take a look at you then, okay?”

Wen Nuan nodded, “Okay, okay.”

Qi Hanrong looked around and found that Fang Yongsi was already gone.

He frowned slightly, “Wangye, Fang Yongsi has run away.”

Now that the truth is now completely revealed², Wen Nuan couldn’t be bothered with the fate of a cannon fodder. After all, his role was completed. Whether he lived or died afterward had nothing to do with her.

The system said excitedly: 【Hehe, the blackening value has decreased. The female lead’s current blackening value is 4.5!】

Wen Nuan’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly grabbed the female lead who wanted to go settle accounts with Fang Yongsi. “Don’t go. Now that the truth is now completely revealed, let the past matters just let it go with the wind³.”

As soon as her voice fell, the wind rose and the clouds scattered.

Wen Nuan: “…”

Truly cooperative.

A small gust of wind blew, making Wen Nuan shiver.

Seeing this, Lin Tinghan immediately took Wen Nuan back to her room. Wen Nuan turned and gave Qi Hanrong a look, signaling him to leave quickly and return to the manor with Ji Chenwei.

Don’t stay outside too long; it’s easy to be targeted by assassins from Ji Ge.

Qi Hanrong bowed to Wen Nuan and left.

Lin Tinghan took Wen Nuan back to her own bedroom. Seeing Wen Nuan drenched, she called out loudly, “Someone, prepare hot water.”

A servant outside the room responded, “Yes, Young Miss.”

“Take off your wet clothes first. You and I have similar figures, I’ll find some clothes for you to change into.” Lin Tinghan opened her wardrobe, took out a few new clothes she had never worn, and handed them over. “Once you’ve changed, get into bed immediately and cover yourself with the quilt. When the hot water arrives, take a bath to get rid of the chill.”

Wen Nuan didn’t take the clothes, but looked at the equally soaked Lin Tinghan. “What about you? Aren’t you going to take off your wet clothes?”

Lin Tinghan paused. “You change first. I’ll go to the next room to change later.”

“Why go to the next room?”

If you go to the next room to change, how am I supposed to confirm your identity?!

Wen Nuan grabbed Lin Tinghan’s wrist, picked out a set of clothes, and handed them back to her. “Right here, let’s change together. We’re both women, what’s there to be shy about?”

Indeed, there was nothing to be shy about, but her intentions were impure, and she feared she couldn’t control her desires.

Lin Tinghan saw Wen Nuan’s frank and casual expression, but she still couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart. “Two women undressing together is so… so awkward. You change first. Wearing wet clothes for too long will make you sick.”

“What’s so awkward about it? There’s nothing shameful between us, why care about what others think?”

Seeing the female lead avoiding her like this, Wen Nuan became even more determined to see if there was a scar on the female lead’s chest.

“If you don’t want to change, then I won’t change either. It just so happens that your illness isn’t cured yet. If I get sick too, it would be quite interesting for us to be a pair,” Wen Nuan said, acting shamelessly.

Lin Tinghan thought to herself that she couldn’t avoid this. Wen Nuan always had to do whatever she set her mind to. If they continued this stalemate, they would probably be wearing these clothes all night.

“Alright, alright, I’ll change here with you, okay!?”

At worst, it’ll be out of sight, out of mind⁴.

Wen Nuan smiled, having gotten her way. “That’s right, we’re all sisters, why be so reserved with each other? The farce from a year ago has been resolved. I hope we can be as close as we were back then, okay?”

Lin Tinghan’s pupils trembled, her expression moved. “…Okay.”

This is good too. Being sisters is good, being friends is good. As long as I can see her often and stay by her side, it’s good.

Even if she gets married and has children in the future, with a husband and kids, I can still stay by Wen Nuan’s side as a friend.

It’s quite good.

The two undressed together. Wen Nuan peeked at Lin Tinghan’s body as she undressed, watching her remove her outer robe, revealing the inches of skin underneath.

Skin like congealed fat, white as jade.

Lin Tinghan kept her head down, not daring to look at Wen Nuan. She could feel Wen Nuan’s gaze lingering on her body.

Neck, shoulders, chest, it lingered for a long time.

Lin Tinghan felt her earlobes burning and her cheeks flushing. She asked in a low voice, “What are you looking at?”

Wen Nuan looked at the familiar scar on her chest and smiled, as if reminiscing, “Tinghan’s figure is getting better and better.”

Sure enough, the female lead is still her.

Lin Tinghan’s body trembled, her hand paused in undressing. She actually flinched a little, not daring to continue undressing, afraid of losing her composure in front of Wen Nuan.

“You… your figure is also very good.” Lin Tinghan kept her head down, only able to see Wen Nuan’s long, fair legs.

“Is that so?” Wen Nuan stepped forward, walking in front of Lin Tinghan, and teased deliberately, “Tinghan has been keeping her head down, how can you see if my figure is good or not?”

Seeing her approach, Lin Tinghan’s pupils dilated. Hearing her teasing, she lowered her head even further and stammered, “You… your figure has always been very good.”

“But we haven’t seen each other for over a year. Maybe my figure isn’t good anymore?” Warm fingers landed on a slender shoulder, feeling the person beneath her palm tremble.

She leaned closer to Tinghan’s reddened ear and asked softly, “Tinghan, lift your head. See if I’ve gained any weight recently?”

Lin Tinghan’s pupils quaked. She could sense that Wen Nuan was currently naked, that white figure constantly drilling into her mind and heart.

She quickly grabbed a white robe and covered Wen Nuan’s body, then lifted her head and glanced quickly, “It’s very good, just like a year ago, unchanged.”

Wen Nuan: “…I’m all wrapped up, what did you see?”

Lin Tinghan’s gaze was flustered. She said casually, “I saw everything, everywhere.”

“Is that so?” The corner of Wen Nuan’s mouth curved up. “Then do you think my chest is big? My waist slender? My butt perky? My legs long?”

Lin Tinghan swallowed hard and said with difficulty, “Big, slender, perky, long!”

The curve of Wen Nuan’s lips grew wider, a subtle smile appearing in her eyes. “Then Tinghan… do you like it?”

“…” Lin Tinghan was stunned and gasped. “Why… why should I like it?”

“No reason, just asking if Tinghan likes it or not?” Wen Nuan leaned closer, carefully observing Lin Tinghan’s face, and said deliberately, “Tinghan, your face seems to be red?”

Lin Tinghan abruptly stepped back. “It’s been too hot these few days, my face got red from the sun.”

Just as Wen Nuan was about to continue teasing Lin Tinghan, servants at the door carried in a bathtub, followed by Ruilin and the Gu-daifu she had brought.

The ambiguous and subtle atmosphere between the two was completely shattered.

Lin Tinghan had Gu-daifu examine Wen Nuan. Gu-daifu stated that Wen Nuan had only choked on some water and had no other major issues.

Hearing Gu-daifu say this, Lin Tinghan finally felt relieved. Gu-daifu prescribed a few more days of medicine for Lin Tinghan and was then sent off by Ruilin.

Truly, they came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

The servants finished setting up the bathtub, left the room, and thoughtfully closed the door.

Lin Tinghan heard the sound of water from behind, turned around, and saw Wen Nuan sitting naked in the bathtub, waving at her.

“Come, Tinghan, let’s wash together. This bathtub is quite big. If it really doesn’t work,” Wen Nuan opened her arms, smiling sweetly, “I can hold you, you can sit on my lap, and we can wash together.”

Lin Tinghan: “…”

She abruptly turned around, panting continuously, “No… no need, I’ll wash later.”

Wen Nuan rested her hands on the edge of the bathtub. “Why wash later? This bathtub is very big, you come in too, let’s wash together, huh? It’s not like we haven’t bathed together before, why are you being so shy?”

Her eyes darted, and she deliberately probed, “Could it be that Tinghan, you have improper thoughts about me?”

She wasn’t sure if the female lead in this world was gay. After all, in the previous two worlds, the female leads had confessed to her first, so between them, as long as she took a step forward, the two could be together openly.

But in this world, Wen Nuan didn’t know what Lin Tinghan’s sexual orientation was.

What if she still likes men?

The system asked curiously: 【If “she” in this world likes men, what will you do?】

Wen Nuan licked her dry lips, her eyes deep and profound. “Then I’ll bend her.”

Since “she” bent her in the beginning, then “she” shouldn’t even think about escaping from her side ever again.

Hearing her words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Tinghan’s face, afraid that Wen Nuan would see through something.

She turned around, looked directly at Wen Nuan’s naked body, stripped off her own clothes completely, and stepped into the bathtub, sitting opposite Wen Nuan.

“Satisfied now?” Lin Tinghan feigned composure, her gaze fixed above Wen Nuan’s chest, not daring to look down.

Wen Nuan hadn’t expected Lin Tinghan to actually get in. She had only been testing Lin Tinghan’s feelings for her just now.

If Lin Tinghan had feelings for her, she might have run away shyly after being teased.

But Lin Tinghan had unexpectedly met the challenge head-on, completely unfazed by her teasing, stripping naked to bathe with her. This, in turn, made Wen Nuan feel a bit awkward.

After all, she had feelings for Lin Tinghan. With the two of them together like this, naked, it was she who would end up being tormented.

Her body burned with desire; it was truly agonizing.

Wen Nuan turned her head away, not looking at Lin Tinghan’s body, lest she lose control and pounce like a hungry wolf. If she scared Lin Tinghan then, causing her blackening value to max out, it would be all over.

Seeing Wen Nuan turn her head away, a trace of loneliness flashed in Lin Tinghan’s eyes.

Sure enough, Wen Nuan still likes men.

So, all the teasing just now was Wen Nuan’s mischievousness, deliberately teasing her, making her heart like a restless ape and mind like a galloping horse⁵, making her can’t help but fantasize, wondering if Wen Nuan might also like her a little?

Would she also feel desire seeing her body?

Looking at Wen Nuan’s side profile, Lin Tinghan sighed softly.

Why engage in deceiving oneself as well as others?

She stood up, picked up her clothes, and put them on. “I’m done washing. You take your time. Do you want to eat here tonight?”

“Okay.”

Lin Tinghan’s expression softened. “Then I’ll go prepare. The clothes have been placed on the chuanshu⁶. Change into them when you’re done washing, don’t catch a cold.”

“En, en.” Wen Nuan watched Lin Tinghan leave the room and let out a long sigh of relief.

This is killing me. Even Liu Xiahui⁷ wasn’t as tormented as I am.

Lin Tinghan walked out of the room, closed the door tightly, and looked at Ruilin by the entrance, a chill in her eyes and brows.

“I don’t want to see that despicable wretch⁸, Fang Yongsi, ever again.”

A murderous glint flashed in Ruilin’s eyes. She lowered her gaze and said, “Yes, Young Miss.”

Lin Tinghan tied her sash, her tone indifferent, “Do it cleanly. Don’t let Wen Nuan notice anything.”

“Understood.” Ruilin turned and left.

Lin Tinghan looked at the evening clouds in the distance, her ink-black eyes growing deeper.

That Fang Yongsi was servile and sycophantic⁹, incorrigibly greedy¹⁰, just a lowly thing indulging in a debauched lifestyle¹¹.

Back when the Fang family fell into hardship, if it weren’t for her mother’s kind heart taking in the Fang family’s orphaned son and taking good care of him, Fang Yongsi wouldn’t have lived to this day.

But this person was insatiably greedy, utterly shameless, and also fickle and promiscuous¹², ignorant of etiquette and moral principles, often fooling around with wild women outside.

Lin Tinghan had long known that Fang Yongsi was involved with women outside, had lost his Shougongsha¹³, and was already an unclean man.

But she didn’t care. Whether Fang Yongsi was dead or alive, clean or dirty, she didn’t care. The only one she could care about was Xu Wen Nuan.

But she never expected that this despicable wretch would actually touch her Wen Nuan with his dirty hands.

That day, she pushed open the door and saw the two in the room with disheveled clothes, the amorous atmosphere not yet dispersed, everywhere showing traces that the two had already tumbled clouds and rain¹⁴ and gone to Wu Mountain together¹⁵.

Especially Fang Yongsi’s look of satisfaction and debauchery truly disgusted her. And what chilled her heart the most was Wen Nuan’s silence, not defending herself even once, facing her questions with only endless silence.

It was as if she tacitly admitted to everything she and Fang Yongsi had done.

She was furious, lost control, and slapped Wen Nuan hard, telling her to get lost, far away.

But she never expected that she really left, went far, far away, and she couldn’t find her no matter how hard she looked.

Afterward, she investigated the events of that day.

As the saying goes, there’s a reason for everything. In the past, Wen Nuan had always kept her distance from Fang Yongsi; it was impossible for the two to have secretly crossed to Chencang¹⁶ and slept together.

But later investigation confirmed that Fang Yongsi had been deliberately seducing Wen Nuan, and had even secretly drugged Wen Nuan, causing her to lose control due to the drug’s effects and sleep with Fang Yongsi.

In that instant, Lin Tinghan wished she could give Fang Yongsi death by a thousand cuts¹⁷ to vent the hatred in her heart.

Unfortunately, Fang Yongsi was still useful to her.

Lin Tinghan thought that if Wen Nuan still had some feelings for Fang Yongsi, she would definitely come back to take Fang Yongsi away, and then she could see Wen Nuan again.

So she deliberately spread rumors that Fang Yongsi was imprisoned and tortured by her, to force Wen Nuan to come out, so she could see her again.

A whole year.

She had searched for her for a year, and finally, she had returned.

Lin Tinghan didn’t care who she came back for; it was good enough that she was back.

She asked for nothing else.

The author has something to say:

Wen Nuan: My body burns with desire, you are as steady as Mount Tai¹⁸.

Female Lead: My heart is scratched and my liver is clawed¹⁹, you are evasive and dodgy.

System: How vexing!
