Accidentally Marking The Vicious Female Lead After Transmigrating Into A Period Novel - Chapter 14

Li Yan’s drowsy eyelids snapped open at those words.

Seeing the medicine in the other woman’s hand, she realized what was happening and spoke with a touch of indifference: “It’s fine, just a bit of scraped skin. It’s not really an injury. No need for medicine, it’ll be better by tomorrow morning.”

Lin Yishu stared at her expressionlessly. “Hand.”

She was being so serious that Li Yan felt a bit uncomfortable. Avoiding her gaze, Li Yan scratched her head and said, “Really, no need. I’m used to it. This doesn’t even count as a wound…”

Her words of refusal gradually weakened under the oppressive aura emanating from the woman before her.

Stealing a glance at the clearly displeased face, Li Yan obediently extended her hand.

The moment she reached out, the Omega’s mood instantly shifted from stormy to overcast. Though she still let out a huff, she looked much gentler.

Li Yan thought to herself: Good thing I’m not stubborn. What’s wrong with a Great Alpha being adaptable?

Lin Yishu held nothing but the medicine. Just as Li Yan was wondering how she planned to apply it, the former looked up to meet her eyes. “Can I use my hand?”

Li Yan’s gaze involuntarily fell upon her fingers, and her brain instantly stalled.

A second later, her face was steamed a dusty pink by the rising heat in her body.

She blamed her overly broad knowledge base for creating this cursed, powerful ability to understand and visualize things instantly.

Her mind was in the gutter.

She struggled to steady her heart and looked up at the woman who was tilting her head, waiting for an answer. Li Yan nodded. “Okay.”

Lin Yishu’s fingertips were very soft. When they brushed against Li Yan’s palm, it felt itchy, but fortunately, the medicine was cool, dulling the sensation.

Her movements were incredibly gentle, as if she were handling a piece of fragile porcelain. Li Yan could almost read a hint of heartache in her eyes.

In the dim light, her eyes shone like stars.

Li Yan’s faint pain was almost entirely smoothed away, her attention completely captured by the other woman’s focused and earnest expression.

She couldn’t help but let her gaze trace that beautiful face.

From the lush brows and eyes to the pert nose, finally settling on those soft, pink lips.

Lin Yishu seemed to be empathizing with her pain, her mouth was unconsciously pouted, her teeth biting her lower lip, looking as if she were feeling the sting herself.

Li Yan heard the same frantic heartbeat from that morning.

Her heart was like a drum, moving toward a rapid crescendo.

Before her brain could react, a heartfelt compliment slipped out.

“Lin Yishu”

Lin Yishu didn’t look up, only offering an “Mm” in response.

“You’re so beautiful.”

A gust of wind suddenly forced the glass window open, blowing in restlessly.

Their loose hair was tossed into a mess.

Lin Yishu’s movements paused. Her elegant brows furrowed, clearly annoyed by the sudden wind. She reached up to tuck her stray hairs behind her ear and stood up to head toward the window, asking, “What did you just say?”

But Li Yan felt differently.

She was grateful for this wind.

If the wind hadn’t moved, how could she have so easily hidden the stirrings of her heart?

Having lived twenty-one years in her past life and nineteen in this one, the forty-year-old Comrade Li Yan felt a sense of confusion regarding her sexual orientation for the very first time.

It’s over. I really am a lesbian.

The reversal came too suddenly. Li Yan didn’t know how to face herself, let alone how to face Lin Yishu. Instead of answering the question, she bounced up like a spring and dove onto the bed, burying herself under the covers.

After closing the window, Lin Yishu turned to see a curled-up lump on the bed.

She felt like laughing.

She hadn’t expected the other woman to get so shy just from a single compliment.

She had originally wanted to tease her into saying it again.

The corners of her mouth curved upward.

Fine, for the sake of those injured hands, I won’t tell her that I actually heard what she said.

Li Yan thought that after such a turbulent night, she would be too agitated to sleep. To her surprise, she slept soundly until dawn, not even knowing when Lin Yishu had climbed into bed.

If it weren’t for the usual numbness in her arm from restricted blood flow, she wouldn’t have been sure that Lin Yishu was still sleeping while hugging her arm.

Lin Yishu, on the other hand, didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, even without a “marking” yesterday, she had exerted a lot of physical energy. It was understandable to be that tired.

The more nonchalant Lin Yishu acted, the more guilty Li Yan felt. She felt that even though Lin Yishu was the one hugging her arm, she was the one taking advantage.

A cloth doll. No, the cloth doll needs to be put on the schedule immediately.

She had to hurry and get her mom to make a doll for her.

They couldn’t keep going on in this ambiguous way.

Lin Yishu didn’t know what she was thinking. She woke up feeling refreshed.

After yesterday, she could feel that her pheromone disorder had significantly lessened, her whole body felt light and clear.

When the body feels good, the mood follows.

Consequently, she found the whole world a lot cuter.

Including Li Yan.

On the way back, she helped Li Yan pull the flatbed cart.

Despite the other’s repeated refusals, Lin Yishu wasn’t the type of person to let someone with injured hands pull her along.

As for Li Yan’s awkward mood, she naturally didn’t notice it.

When the two pulled the cart back to Xili Village, they found quite a crowd gathered at the entrance.

Li Yan, who had been trying to stay silent the whole way, finally let out an exclamation. “Huh? Why are there so many people? Are they here to welcome us?”

Of course, she had enough self-awareness to know that wasn’t the case.

Sure enough, when she asked an auntie from the village, the woman beamed and told them: “It’s the People’s Liberation Army on a training exercise! They’re passing through our village and staying for a while. They might even stay until next spring!”

Soldiers? Why would soldiers come to their village?

Li Yan was curious.

Beside her, Lin Yishu’s expression suddenly darkened.

Because the broken system in her mind was shouting excitedly: [The Male Lead! The Male Lead is finally coming! Get ready!]

Get ready my ass!

Lin Yishu’s rare good mood was completely ruined. She grabbed the hand of the person beside her and started walking.

Li Yan’s hand was gripped indisputably. She looked around guiltily at the reactions of the villagers, but seeing everyone craning their necks to look into the distance, she relaxed.

Still, she struggled to pull her hand away. Seeing the other woman look over, she made up a random excuse to fill the silence: “We have to mind the occasion. In the future… don’t hold… pull hands in public.”

Lin Yishu was already in a foul mood, and seeing Li Yan acting up again, she turned and walked away.

Li Yan: “……”

Damn it, did I sound too harsh?
