After Dumping the Female Lead, It's My Turn to Cry - Chapter 21.2

In truth, Ruan Yubai’s intentions were simple. She had no idea that the group of Omegas had already disclosed their entire plan to the student council. Still believing herself to be the bait, she mistook Qing Ling, who had knocked on the door, for an innocent passerby.

What a disaster! Ruan Yubai’s face scrunched up like a bitter melon. If an Alpha were to show up later, wouldn’t she be endangering the female lead?

Shaking her head with righteous determination, Ruan Yubai resolved that, as the main antagonist, only she was allowed to bully the female lead. How could she let those foul-smelling Alphas lay a finger on her?

Not a single trash Alpha would snatch even a page of her cannon-fodder script from her!

However, after her momentary impulse, Ruan Yubai realized their current position was rather awkward. The tall girl was tightly held in her arms, her sleek, dark hair cascading over Ruan Yubai’s arm, sending a tingling, ticklish sensation. Even the scent of shampoo seemed to carry the female lead’s unique fragrance of freesia subtle, elegant, and almost seeping into her breath.

Not to mention, her fingers were still pressed against the other’s lips, her palm nearly absorbing the cool temperature of the young lady’s mouth.

Ruan Yubai coughed awkwardly, quickly loosening her grip and withdrawing her hand. She asked cautiously, “When you came here, did you see anyone else lurking outside?”

“No.”

Indeed, there wasn’t anyone. After the student council arrived, strictly speaking, only the council president remained in the restroom.

Of course, Ruan Yubai was unaware of this. She paused briefly, her anger nearly boiling over. Weren’t those Omegas supposed to be guarding the place properly? How could they all slip away?

A bunch of untrustworthy bubble tea kettles!

But as she met Qing Ling’s dark eyes, Ruan Yubai’s anger evaporated like water dousing a flame. She wilted pitifully and began murmuring a flustered explanation.

This is just too much, Ruan Yubai thought. No matter what, she was still a Beta and wouldn’t face any serious consequences. But what if an Alpha showed up and stumbled upon the female lead?

With no one outside now, Ruan Yubai didn’t dare let Qing Ling leave, there was still the risk of running into someone the moment she stepped out. For a moment, the laid-back girl felt her head throbbing with stress.

Still, no matter what, the bigger picture came first. They had to overcome this immediate hurdle!

To avoid being overheard, Ruan Yubai deliberately softened her voice, her warm breath brushing against Qing Ling’s ear like a feather. Unfortunately, the latter didn’t register a single word.

Her fluffy twin tails hung obediently on either side, revealing a soft, slender neck below. Unlike the male lead’s lackeys, who could only agonize over videos from afar, Qing Ling had an extremely close view of that small patch of snow-white skin so dazzlingly beautiful and the faint, half-faded red marks on it stood out even more prominently.

They were the traces left by Nan Zhuge’s frantic grip the night before.

To be fair, Nan Zhuge had only grabbed her once at the very beginning. The problem was that Ruan Yubai’s skin was simply too delicate even the slightest touch left behind crimson marks that still hadn’t fully faded.

Embedded in her fine skin, they looked like fluttering pink peach blossom petals.

Ruan Yubai was still earnestly analyzing the pros and cons for the female lead, but before she could even finish half of what she was saying, she felt a cool finger gently brush against the back of her neck. The faint scrape of a callus sent a tingling itch through her.

She instinctively shrank her neck and heard Qing Ling ask indifferently, “Why did you stop?”

After a moment of daze, Ruan Yubai also felt that she might have overreacted. She was just a Beta, without any glands, what was she even thinking?

Moreover, the female lead’s touch on the back of her neck was neither too light nor too heavy, effectively soothing the pain and exhaustion she had felt standing in the cold wind earlier. Unconsciously, she leaned back and rubbed against the touch, her soft, fine hair gently draping over the other’s hand.

She really did seem like a little cat acting spoiled.

But with this interruption, Ruan Yubai was a bit confused: “What was I saying just now?”

“Stockings,” Qing Ling said, maintaining her posture as her slender arm loosely encircled the girl’s soft waist, exuding a lazy, aristocratic air. She seemed quite kind as she reminded her, “You said you still had one leg left to take them off.”

Ruan Yubai, being a bit silly, didn’t even realize she was already being held in an embrace. Instead, she indignantly declared, “Stockings, the number one most useless invention of humankind. What are they even good for? They’re not warm at all, they’re scratchy, and even chicken ribs are a hundred times better than them!”

Clearly, it was an issue with the poor quality of the material.

Unable to hold back, Qing Ling let out a soft laugh. Before Ruan Yubai could react, she had already grasped her ankle and deftly helped her remove the remaining stocking. With a graceful motion of her slender arm, she retrieved the backpack and directly lifted the still-dazed girl onto the clean toilet seat.

“Change,” Qing Ling said, closing her eyes to indicate she wouldn’t look. “Weren’t you saying you were cold?”

The young lady’s movements were indeed efficient she had removed the cheap stockings without even touching the skin of her legs, her fingertips cool through the thin fabric.

Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Ruan Yubai’s face slowly turned red. After rustling around to change her pants, she silently hopped down and asked the female lead in a somewhat ingratiating tone, “Are you hungry?”

She had snacks in her backpack.

Qing Ling lifted her eyes and looked at her quietly.

Before Ruan Yubai could explain further, she felt a bittersweet taste on her lips Qing Ling had pushed a piece of chocolate into her mouth through the wrapper, then tucked the empty packaging into her pocket. “Make do with this for now.”

Somehow, Ruan Yubai had already grown accustomed to the female lead’s habit of feeding her. She held the chocolate in her mouth and asked curiously, “How did you know I wanted chocolate?”

Qing Ling smiled faintly but didn’t answer.

Earlier, when the two of them were pressed close together, she had caught the scent of cocoa.

From Ruan Yubai’s mouth.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door again sneaky ones that would have been impossible to hear if not for the quiet of the stall.

Qing Ling’s expression remained unchanged, but her dark eyes grew somber.

This time, it really was a perverted, peeping Alpha.

With a single thought, Qing Ling’s pheromones turned sharp and aggressive. But before she could rise to attack, the sleeve of her uniform was tugged by Ruan Yubai.

Before Qing Ling could even furrow her brows, Ruan Yubai, now dressed in full-length pants, stood up energetically. Meeting Qing Ling’s puzzled gaze, the girl scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, a rare display of unease and muttered softly, “No matter what, you’re still an Omega.”

Qing Ling didn’t know she was merely a character in a novel, but Ruan Yubai did. And those despicable perverts had come to hunt beautiful Omegas.

Omegas like the female lead.

One must not overlook this fact just because she was the invincible young lady of the Qing family. One must not forget it just because she had exerted thousands of times more effort than others to become the unflappable female lead.

Having grown accustomed to standing on her own, even Qing Ling herself had forgotten that she, too, could be protected by someone else.

Those young shoulders trembled slightly in the cold wind, yet they stood firmly in front of her. The strength was pitifully small, a Beta with only B-level mental and physical abilities probably couldn’t even defeat a single person.

Yet this soft, frail child actually tried to stand in front of her.

While Qing Ling was lost in rare bewilderment, Ruan Yubai had already hopped up by clinging to the stall partition. Her earlier timidity evaporated without a trace at the sight of those predatory Alphas. She flung a handful of non-fading fluorescent marking powder at them and shouted loudly, “Justice from above!”

Not only were the Alphas startled, but the sounds of other student council members running and shouting orders also echoed from the restroom entrance. The originally dim and silent space grew noisy in an instant, and the once-dark stall suddenly became as bright as daylight.

Seeing others arrive, Ruan Yubai finally let out a sigh of relief. She took several deep breaths, and when she turned around, her smiling eyes curved like crescent moons. At last, she could offer tangible proof: “See, I really am not a pervert.”

The girl’s almond-shaped eyes were exceptionally clear, so pure they could reflect everything in the world so clear that even the faintest clouds would hesitate to veil their clarity.

“I know.”

The rustling sound of the glass candy wrapper being rubbed between her fingers was barely audible in the commotion.

The young lady’s smile was gentle, but her beautiful eyes instantly darkened to the shade of black jade.

The real perverts had always been someone else entirely.
