Accidentally Marking The Vicious Female Lead After Transmigrating Into A Period Novel - Chapter 24.1
Lin Yishu scrambled up from the kang, her eyes meeting a pair of deep, somber ones.
[Wow! Xuexue and the Male Lead came together! Nice, nice, it looks like they’re getting along well.]
The System seemed to have given up on life, it spoke without its usual vagueness.
Lin Yishu sneered inwardly, but when she looked over, her expression showed only the perfect amount of curiosity. “What? Auntie, did you mean… this is Youth Fu? What is the solution?”
Entering the inner room, the two scents became even more distinct. Fu Sinian could feel the mutual attraction between them, as well as their raw, tangled state. His gaze paused on the cool, elegant Omega before shifting imperceptibly to the person on the bed.
“I have an Alpha gland patch here. Help her put it on. If you need more, you can come and ask me.”
A gland patch. He actually carried a gland patch on him.
This time, Lin Yishu was truly surprised.
Just who is this Male Lead?
She had naturally seen gland patches before, but they were expensive and rare, ordinary people had no chance to encounter them. When she had escaped, she didn’t have the foresight to steal some, which was why Li Yan had suffered today.
She watched his movements.
The item in his hand was indeed an Alpha gland patch, without a doubt.
Regardless, having a gland patch would bring more benefits than harm to Li Yan.
Lin Yishu lowered her guard and gave a sincere thanks: “Thank you.” She then took the patch from his hand.
Once the others stepped out, Lin Yishu carefully peeled the gland patch and reached her hand toward the back of the Alpha’s neck.
The Alpha’s face was flushed red from sleep. Even in her dreams, she trusted Lin Yishu 100%. After wriggling twice toward her, she openly exposed the back of her neck.
The corners of Lin Yishu’s lips curled upward as she gently applied the gland patch.
An hour later, Li Yan opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
She felt as if she had slept for a very long time, so long that her bones felt a bit numb.
Just as she was about to sit up, she suddenly felt something heavy on her arm.
Turning her head, she saw Lin Yishu holding her teddy bear, leaning against her.
Li Yan carefully withdrew her arm, thinking to herself that Yishu still wasn’t a very “stable” sleeper.
She got up to climb down from the kang, but suddenly felt a burning sensation at the back of her neck. It was different from anything she had felt before like a mixture of cool mint and alcohol seeping into her gland, both cold and hot.
Li Yan reached out to scratch it to relieve the uncomfortable sensation, but just as her hand was about to reach, a voice stopped her.
“Don’t move.”
Lin Yishu had suddenly woken up at some point, her dark brown eyes staring straight at her.
Li Yan obediently lowered her hand, feeling self-conscious under that gaze. “Ah, okay. You’re awake?”
Lin Yishu didn’t answer her question, but instead asked: “Are you awake?”
Li Yan didn’t catch the underlying meaning and answered blankly: “Yeah, I’m awake.”
Lin Yishu stared at her for a moment. After confirming she had returned to normal, she climbed down with a cold expression.
An inexplicable sense of disappointment flashed through her heart, so fleeting it was hard to detect.
She instinctively handed over her small teddy bear, but seeing that the other party had no intention of taking it, she coldly retracted it.
Li Yan only felt that the rose fragrance in the air seemed to have been drenched in snow, carrying a biting chill that made her shiver.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the person on the bed had already gone outside.
She could only scratch her head as she watched the retreating back.
What’s going on? Did I really kick Lin Yishu like I did in my dream? Why does it feel like Lin Yishu is giving me the cold shoulder?
At around three o’clock, the Great Brigade’s loudspeakers began broadcasting continuously, urging commune members to head to the brigade to gather for New Year’s Eve dinner.
Li Chunmei called for the family to head out. Seeing her now normal daughter, she intended to scold her, but remembering there were others in the house, she suppressed it. She only glared sideways at her. “Are you sober? If you’re sober, head to the brigade. I’ll have a proper talk with you later!”
Li Yan was even more baffled.
Didn’t I just sleep a little longer? I worked so many overtime days at the factory, my mom never scolded me for this before. Why is she reacting so strongly today?
Yes, although she had no memory of the morning, she simply assumed she had been too exhausted and slept until the afternoon.
Seeing her innocent face made Li Chunmei even angrier, but she ultimately said nothing.
As for Yang Xueying and Fu Sinian, being outsiders, they wouldn’t say things they shouldn’t.
Only Li Can remained. Since she only had a partial understanding of the situation, her words were ambiguous and prone to misunderstanding. “Sister, you’re in big trouble! Mom said you must take responsibility for Sister Yishu! Otherwise, she’ll break your legs!”
Li Yan was shocked. She checked to make sure no one else was around before lowering her voice: “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I must… take responsibility for her?”
Li Can looked at her sister with the expression one might give a “scumbag,” as if she couldn’t believe her sister was that kind of person. “You already did that to Sister Yishu, do you still not want to take responsibility?”
Li Yan: ???
Wait, hold on. My whole family knows about this? How do they know?
She looked at the person walking alone ahead.
Did Lin Yishu say something? Didn’t she tell me not to say anything? Why did she tell them herself?
Li Yan wanted to ask her younger sister more, but just then, Er Ya came running over cheering to find her playmate. The two young girls ran off together in the blink of an eye.
Li Yan shifted her steps, moving closer to the other protagonist.
“Lin Yishu,” she called out.
the other party glanced over without much emotion, her voice devoid of warmth: “Yes? Is something the matter?”
Li Yan opened her mouth, but for some reason, she didn’t admit it. She shook her head. “Nothing.”
Lin Yishu withdrew her gaze indifferently and continued walking in silence.
The group walked for a while longer until they finally reached the Great Brigade.
It was very lively there. Soldiers in olive-green uniforms and villagers in colorful quilted cotton jackets mixed together, creating a unique sight.
Under the organization of the village head, secretary, and production captains, everyone was busy, some wrapping dumplings, some starting fires while children played with firecrackers nearby.
As night fell, the flickering flames reflected on the villagers’ faces. The wrapped dumplings were put into the pots one by one. The brigade’s antenna was finally adjusted, and the black and white TV began playing scenes from “Railway Guerrilla.” Children squeezed to the front, while adults chatted while working, occasionally glancing at the screen.
The New Year’s Eve atmosphere began.
After finally making it through the dinner, Li Yan’s mood still wouldn’t lift. She was especially bothered by the person sitting beside her, who seemed to be lost in thought.
She stood up from her stool, wanting to head back early, but was bumped by a naughty kid, nearly falling over.
“Tie Dan, you should apologize when you bump into someone, or I’ll lift you up with one hand and slam you down hard.” Li Yan wasn’t in a great mood, so she dropped her usual carefree style and crouched down to scare the naughty kid who nearly knocked her down and refused to admit fault.
The child was frightened by her. Pouting, he offered a reluctant apology. Before running away, he noticed the thing stuck to the back of her neck and reached out, mischievously ripping it off.
Li Yan felt a sharp sting on the back of her neck, but quickly, the sensation of being both cold and hot inside her body began to fade, making her feel much more comfortable.
She didn’t pay it much mind. She stood up, informed her family, and prepared to head back first.
She then asked the person beside her: “What about you? Do you want to head back with me?”
