I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 29

Lin Yi glanced at Shi Xingrao through the rearview mirror. “Follow them?”

Shi Xingrao nodded.

Lin Yi: “Is this all the trust you have between you?”

In the back seat, Shi Xingrao had already curled herself into a ball. With a cold, she was unusually listless and weak. “Stop being sarcastic. I’m feeling awful and don’t want to argue with you.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Lin Shuangran; she just suspected that some plotlines had been moved up. She was more worried that Lin Shuangran might soften for a moment and be deceived again.

Lin Yi had been following Lin Shuangran’s car when a twinge of envy suddenly surfaced. Lin Shuangran had only stepped out for a short while, yet Shi Xingrao was already searching for her. Though she claimed they didn’t trust each other, Lin Yi knew full well that Shi Xingrao was concerned about Lin Shuangran.

Lin Yi suddenly spoke up, “If I were to disappear one day, would you look for me?”

Shi Xingrao sniffled. “Ordinary people can’t fool you. Why would I bother looking?”

She knew it Shi Xingrao wouldn’t search for her, no matter the reason. She just wouldn’t.

Only after a long pause did Shi Xingrao slowly add, “If you were gone for ten days or half a month, I might still look for you a bit.”

Lin Yi’s mood, which had sunk to the bottom, began to climb back up slightly. At least it proved that Shi Xingrao held a small place for her in her heart not much, but it was there.

In places Shi Xingrao didn’t notice, Lin Yi’s gaze softened a little.

The hall was bright and clean, with a wooden table adorned with sunflowers, Lin Shuangran’s favorite. Sunlight swayed with the rustling branches, accompanied by the melodious sound of a piano and soft murmurs of conversation. Occasionally, one could catch glimpses of young couples on dates sharing light laughter.

The budding, bashful romance was like an apple hanging from a branch in early July still green and unripe, yet enticing.

The ambiguous stage the most heart-fluttering phase of a relationship.

Seeing Lu Ze walk in, Shi Xingrao, who had bundled herself into a corner, couldn’t help but think: Lu Ze had really planned this well. Choosing such a place was clearly meant to sweet-talk her sister.

Shi Xingrao pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, her emotions a tangled mess as she watched Lin Shuangran’s slender, elegant back.

That scoundrel. She knew he was a scoundrel trying to seduce Lin Shuangran, but seeing the scene before her, she couldn’t help but viciously stab the little cake on her plate with a fork, tearing it apart.

What kind of lowlife dares to approach Lin Shuangran?

“Xiao Ran, do you remember our first meeting was right here?”

“This place holds so many of our memories. All these years you’ve been away, I’ve come here whenever I missed you.”

“This place witnessed our first encounter, and I hope it can also witness us being together.”

Shi Xingrao’s hand tightened around the silver fork, as if she had reached her limit. Just as she was about to make a move, Lin Yi pressed her down firmly. The woman’s captivating eyes fixed on her. “What’s the rush?”

“Lin Shuangran hasn’t said anything yet.”

Shi Xingrao felt exasperated. What decent person would willingly watch some scoundrel get close to their girlfriend?

Fuming, Shi Xingrao glared at Lin Yi. But the sick little fox, her eyes damp and her coughs sounding weak and soft from anger, only made Lin Yi feel an urge to pinch her cheeks. In the end, though, she restrained herself and instead stirred the coffee in her cup with a small spoon.

“Do you think Lin Shuangran will agree to Lu Ze?”

Lin Yi had a knack for bringing up the most uncomfortable topics. Before Shi Xingrao could respond, she continued, “If Lin Shuangran agrees to be with Lu Ze, why don’t you come to me instead?”

“Lin Shuangran and I look quite alike. You could treat me as her substitute—I wouldn’t mind.”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

She’s acting up again.

Lin Yi lazily lifted her eyelids. “Anyway, you don’t have much time left. Being with me would at least spare Lin Shuangran the grief of your departure. Isn’t that better?”

“Sorry, I’m not into substitute tropes or those dramatic, emotionally draining plots.”

After saying this, Shi Xingrao cleared her throat lightly. “I won’t make my sister sad.”

If she wouldn’t make Lin Shuangran sad, did that mean she herself was completely unimportant? Were her own feelings entirely insignificant?

The smile on Lin Yi’s lips hadn’t faded, it was casual yet bewitching. Her slender fingers pinched Shi Xingrao’s fair chin, pulling her closer. She looked down at the girl forced onto her lap.

“Do you like Lin Shuangran that much? Shi Xingrao is she all you ever think about? Does she even know what kind of person you are? If she saw through your disguise, would she still love you?”

Originally here to eavesdrop, Shi Xingrao had no idea why Lin Yi had suddenly gone mad. Furious, she wanted to bite Lin Yi to vent her anger, but with her jaw firmly held, she couldn’t move.

Unable to make too much noise while eavesdropping, Shi Xingrao had no choice but to endure the woman’s coercion. Seemingly amused by Shi Xingrao’s helplessness, Lin Yi’s mood improved noticeably, a hint of delight flickering in her captivating eyes.

This was the essence of a femme fatale infuriatingly irresistible, yet determined to make life difficult for you.

“Even if Lin Shuangran wants you, what do you think she would choose if I told her I like you too?” Lin Yi lowered her voice, leaning closer to Shi Xingrao, her thumb gently brushing Shi Xingrao’s lips.
