Accidentally Marking The Vicious Female Lead After Transmigrating Into A Period Novel - Chapter 2

Li Yan quickly understood why the other girl was looking at her that way.

Following Li Yan’s string of denials, the girl’s anger overrode her embarrassment. she hissed, “You’re shameless! You clearly just marked me, and now you’re turning your back on me? You’re not just shameless, you’re vulgar!”

Li Yan’s brain began to buzz. Two words drifted back and forth through her mind, echoing louder than her own name shouted into a canyon during a past vacation.

Marked… me?

Is… that right?

How could that possibly be a marking?!

Aaaaah! Am I crazy, or is this kid crazy??

Although Li Yan hadn’t read many ABO (Alpha/Beta/Omega) novels, she was something of a bookworm and, influenced by her former roommates, she was sensitive to the term “marking.” Hearing the implication in the girl’s words made her lose her composure.

In this era? Marking? Is it really logical for those two things to exist together?! She hadn’t traveled back to an interstellar future, she was in the poverty-stricken 1970s!

But as she looked at the girl opposite her, whose body was trembling with tension as a faint scent of roses wafted from her. Li Yan felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head.

Good heavens! This scent… this scent… could it be…

Pheromones!!!

Li Yan felt like her world was collapsing. She had wondered why that fragrance felt so strange earlier, making her feel as if she’d been drugged, if it was pheromones, it all made sense. After all, if pheromones are highly compatible, the fatal attraction is more terrifying than an addiction.

“So… I’m an Alpha, and you’re an Omega?” she asked cautiously.

The person opposite her gave a cold snort. She didn’t speak, but she nodded.

It took only a few minutes for Li Yan to go from shock to numbness. Well, since I’ve already time-traveled, I guess an ABO world isn’t impossible, right?

She suddenly remembered that the back of her neck had been hurting the most earlier. She reached back to feel it and, sure enough, touched a slightly protruding area.

Oh, for Pete’s sake. It wasn’t just growing a gland overnight, it had developed in a matter of minutes. This world was moving a bit too fast for her to keep up.

Seeing her touch the back of her neck, the girl grew even more tense, clutching the collar of her shirt even tighter.

Li Yan: “……”

She finally realized the girl wasn’t clutching her shirt to cover her front, but to hide the back of her neck. Though it was different from what Li Yan had initially thought, the result was the same.

However, thinking back to her dazed state just now, Li Yan still didn’t understand how she had actually marked the girl. In her confusion, she asked bluntly.

The beautiful eyes opposite her widened in disbelief. “You’re shameless!”

Li Yan raised both hands again to plead her innocence. “I really didn’t mean anything by it, I just… I don’t really understand how this works…”

Heaven have mercy, she really hadn’t read ABO novels! She knew the word “marking,” but she had no idea how to actually execute it.

Seeing the mist swirling in the girl’s eyes, Li Yan didn’t dare ask further, no matter how curious she was. “Fine, fine, I won’t ask anymore. Don’t cry! I’m most afraid of people crying…”

She paused mid-sentence.

Wait, why does that line feel so natural and familiar…?

The world had finally gone mad, developing in the exact direction she least wanted it to go. But even if the line was a cliché, it actually suited Li Yan. She truly couldn’t stand seeing people cry, especially a girl as pretty as this one.

After a moment’s pause, Li Yan followed up naturally: “So… what do you plan to do next…”

Before she could finish, the girl stared at her again with those large, misty eyes. “What do you mean? Are you planning on not taking responsibility for me?”

Those deep, autumn-water eyes were now brimming with moisture, hanging on her long, curled lashes, ready to fall at the slightest blink.

Li Yan’s heart, which had just started to settle, leaped back into her throat. She waved her hands in immediate denial. “No, no, I didn’t mean that…”

“Then what did you mean?” the girl pressed.

“I mean… this isn’t a small matter after all. We need to discuss it properly. At least tell our families. There are many things I need to prepare in advance; after all, one usually only gets married once in a lifetime…”

Aaaaah! What am I saying? Why does this sound more and more ridiculous!!!

Before she could finish the word “marriage,” Li Yan slammed on the brakes and changed the subject. “No, I mean….where is your home? I’ll walk you back first, and we can discuss the rest later, okay?”

She blinked at the girl, trying to project her most sincere side.

She didn’t expect that as soon as she finished speaking, the girl, who had been holding back her tears, began to let them fall like broken pearls, one after another.

A stray thought crossed Li Yan’s mind: She even looks good when she cries.

She immediately leaned in to coax her. “Wait, don’t cry! Why are you crying again?”

The girl just wept, pitiful and delicate. “I don’t have a home anymore,” she finally whispered after her nose had turned red from crying.

Actually, Li Yan had already guessed as much.

“Forget it, come home with me first.” She patted her legs, which were numb from crouching, and picked up the cloth bag scattered on the ground.

At this hour, people would soon be heading out for work. It wouldn’t do for the two of them to stay here. Besides, it was cold out, the girl was dressed thinly, and she was missing a sock.

Sigh, how pitiful.

Li Yan’s gaze involuntarily drifted back to that exposed ankle. First of all, I’m not a lesbian. Second, that is a very beautiful ankle.

Sensing the gaze, the girl tucked her foot back and glared at her again. However, this time, whether it was because the tears hadn’t fully cleared or some other reason, the glare lacked its previous sting.

Li Yan rubbed her nose to ease the awkwardness and picked up the candies that had fallen near the girl’s feet. When her bag had dropped, the meat hadn’t fallen out, but a bag of fruit drops and some White Rabbit milk candies had spilled. As she carefully gathered them, she realized Auntie Chang must have tucked them in for her.

Once her things were packed, she looked at the person still sitting on the ground. She reached out a hand, then awkwardly pulled it back.

How strange. I don’t remember anything, so why do I feel like a total creep?

The girl on the ground didn’t seem to want her help anyway. She pressed her hands against the ground and pushed.

As her sleeves slid down and her crumpled collar loosened, it revealed a fair collarbone and several strange red marks.

Li Yan accidentally caught a glimpse; her eyes snapped away as if she’d been electrocuted. Her face flushed bright red, and her mind screamed.

Wait, wait, wait…

Those red marks… no way… I didn’t cause those just now, did I?

Good heavens, why don’t I remember a single thing?!

“Hiss…” A sharp intake of breath interrupted her thoughts.

Seeing the girl almost collapse again as soon as she stood up, Li Yan moved quickly to grab her arm. To her surprise, the girl cried out even louder.

“Ow, that hurts!”

Li Yan hurriedly let go, feeling confused. She hadn’t used much force, how could she have hurt her?

With a “thud,” the girl fell back to the ground. She glared at Li Yan, furious.

Li Yan spoke up guiltily, “You… you said it hurt, so I let go…”

Lin Yishu was seeing stars from the fall. She was so angry she almost lost her cool and snapped. How could I be so unlucky? To run into someone like this!

But considering her current situation, she suppressed her rage. After glaring at Li Yan, she commanded: “Help me up!”

Li Yan didn’t know the girl’s internal turmoil, seeing that she was being somewhat reasonable despite her tone, she hurried forward and reached out with both hands.

“Be gentle!” Lin Yishu couldn’t help but add, remembering the pain in her arm from before.

Li Yan carefully supported her by the arms through her clothes, not daring to touch anywhere else, and helped her stand.

Once they were steady, Li Yan prepared to pull away to give her space, but the girl suddenly spoke up. “Turn around.”

Li Yan didn’t understand why, but she turned her back to her.

Suddenly, a pair of hands climbed onto her shoulders.

Startled, Li Yan leaped forward a few paces. The girl shouted at her in embarrassment and anger, “What is wrong with you? Do you find me repulsive?”

Shaken, Li Yan stammered, “No, just… just say what you need to say…”

Lin Yishu’s face flushed. She felt a profound sense of frustration. “I twisted my ankle! I want you to carry me on your back! What on earth were you thinking?”

“Oh? Carry you?” Li Yan laughed sheepishly and shuffled back, muttering under her breath, “You should have just said so.”

Before lifting her, Li Yan took off her own scarf and handed it over, her eyes carefully avoiding the girl’s neck. “Put this on. It’s cold.”

The girl was incredibly light, lighter than any pig Li Yan had ever slaughtered. On her back, she felt almost weightless.

Li Yan felt the girl’s shallow breath falling against her shoulder. Her body went stiff, not daring to think too much as she focused solely on walking forward. She didn’t dare wrap her hands around the girl’s legs, instead using her forearms to hook under them loosely just to keep her from slipping.

Feeling Li Yan’s tension, a small smile played on Lin Yishu’s lips. At least she has some merits.

But then, as if thinking of something else, the smile vanished, and her eyes clouded over.

However, her attention was soon drawn elsewhere. The gland so close to her was emitting waves of fragrance, making her heart flutter.

Thinking back to how dazed and foolish the girl had been when she’d taught her how to release her pheromones earlier, Lin Yishu found it strange.

To possess such pheromones in a rural place like this and yet be completely oblivious. She didn’t even understand what a marking really was.

How interesting.

The thought of such an Alpha carrying her and following her instructions made her mood brighten again.

Of course, if she knew that the girl was currently comparing her weight to a pig, she probably wouldn’t be so happy.
