Quick Transmigration: Flirting With the Female Lead Every Day - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Su Mu led Ling Wei as they ran swiftly, stopping only after they realized they had shaken off those hoodlums. Looking back at Ling Wei’s shaken and distressed state, Su Mu’s heart suddenly softened, and her gaze turned gentle.
“It’s safe now. You should head home.” Although she internally wanted to bring Ling Wei back to her own place for the night, she held back helplessly at the thought of her tiny “nest,” where one could barely turn around without bumping into something.
Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability +20 Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability -5 Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability +10 Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability -5, currently at 20
Su Mu: “……”
Just what kind of things is she imagining? How can her mental journey be this eventful?
“Host, the +20 favorability is because you saved her; she feels grateful to you,” the System explained. “The -5 is because the Power of the World is at work, making her think you had an ulterior motive for saving her. The +5 is because your words just now made her realize you don’t have any improper intentions, and the other +5 is because she feels guilty for suspecting you. The final -5 is because she thinks you’re actually letting a girl who just got mugged go home alone at night you’re not considerate at all.”
#What is this sudden feeling of heartache? What should I do if the Female Lead doesn’t even see me as a woman?# #Aren’t we both escaping? Don’t I need emotional comfort too?# #Who understands the pain of having improper thoughts about my future wife but being unable to show them because my living conditions aren’t good enough?# #As a lady from a wealthy family, why doesn’t she just call her bodyguards to pick her up?#
“Host, for the sake of plot development, how could the Power of the World allow her to bring a phone? Or have bodyguards following her?”
“Actually… if you don’t mind my place, you can come stay with me for the night.” Even though Su Mu was increasingly dissatisfied with the plot, the System’s words made sense, so she extended the invitation to Ling Wei.
“Okay! Thank you so much.” Ling Wei gave Su Mu a bright smile, her eyes curving into crescents. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with joy, looking incredibly adorable.
Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability +5
Su Mu watched Ling Wei and then slowly turned around to walk in front. While she looked calm on the outside, her internal “mini-me” couldn’t stop wagging its tail; she was a bit defenseless against Ling Wei’s smile; it was truly beautiful.
System: “What is this strange sense of déjà vu…”
Since Su Mu’s home was nearby, they arrived within a few minutes. As she opened the door, Su Mu turned back and said awkwardly to Ling Wei, “The house is a bit small, please don’t mind…”
“I won’t, don’t worry.” Ling Wei had already investigated Su Mu back when she considered her a love rival.
Su Mu had grown up in an orphanage, and her tuition had been covered by sponsors. Once she got older, she worked part-time jobs and tutored others to earn money. She got into Xibei Academy entirely because of her excellent grades. Ling Wei actually admired Su Mu for being able to survive in Xibei Academy as an ordinary person.
Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability +5, currently 30
“Could it be that she’s suddenly seduced by my beauty?”
“You’re thinking too much. It’s just admiration for the original host’s perseverance.”
Despite being mentally prepared, Ling Wei was still surprised when she saw Su Mu’s room. It really was… a bit small. However, her good upbringing prevented her from showing it directly; she simply sat quietly on the bed and looked around.
“I haven’t worn these clothes in a long time. If you don’t mind, just make do for the night.” While Ling Wei was surveying the small room, Su Mu quickly dug out a pair of pajamas and handed them to her.
Taking the pajamas and seeing the pattern, Ling Wei couldn’t help but chuckle. There was a black bear standing on a chair shouting, [There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm this Emperor!]. The expression was hilarious. She hadn’t expected the cold-looking Su Mu to have such a playful heart. She gave Su Mu a teasing glance but said nothing, taking the pajamas into the bathroom.
“Host, don’t be too careless. This favorability is only 30, which is at most a ‘slightly better than ordinary’ friendship. But her favorability toward the Male Lead is already 70, that’s a huge gap.” Seeing the Host sitting on the bed staring at the bathroom door like a “pervert” who wanted to see through the wood, the System couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up to remind her.
“I know, but so what? Ling Wei will belong to me sooner or later, and the person she loves can only be me.”
Su Mu knew her own personality: she either didn’t love at all, or she loved deeply. Moreover, for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with Ling Wei, as if she were the person she had been searching for a very, very long time. Since she had decided it was her, she would pursue her.
Call her selfish or hypocritical, but Ling Wei shouldn’t dream of escaping her in this lifetime. She would definitely make Ling Wei fall in love with her, ensuring that the person who stayed by Ling Wei’s side for a lifetime was her, and not Murong Yun.
Su Mu squinted at the spot where Ling Wei had just sat. Her expression was casual, but her tone was more serious than ever before.
Oh my god, just thinking about such a beautiful person becoming my wife makes my heart flutter… She couldn’t help but roll around on the bed, letting out a “perverted” giggle.
The System, which had been stunned by Su Mu’s sudden burst of dominance and was ready to offer support, saw Su Mu rolling around like an idiot. In an instant, the solemn atmosphere vanished.
#I must have been blind to think she was ‘cool’ when I chose her…#
When Ling Wei finished her shower and came out, she saw Su Mu rolling around on the small bed and couldn’t help but laugh. Su Mu was actually quite cute… A flash of relief crossed her eyes; she was glad she hadn’t continued to target her, otherwise, she might have lost a friend.
Su Mu’s body stiffened when she heard the laughter, realizing her foolish behavior had been seen. She quickly grabbed her pajamas and rushed into the bathroom. Because Ling Wei had just come out, the scent of body wash hadn’t dissipated yet. Su Mu couldn’t help but take a deep breath. It was clearly the same body wash, but why did it feel especially fragrant today?
Ling Wei saw Su Mu rush in and knew she was embarrassed. She didn’t tease her further and walked to the bed, thinking about how they would sleep. This bed was fine for one person, but squeezing two people in was going to be difficult.
Su Mu didn’t want to keep Ling Wei waiting, so she showered quickly and came out immediately. Seeing Ling Wei’s conflicted look at the bed, she said, “You sleep lying flat, and I’ll sleep on my side. That way, we’ll fit just right.”
Ling Wei was stunned; Su Mu’s words clearly prioritized her comfort. Just as she was about to refuse, Su Mu rushed over, pressed her shoulders down onto the bed, said goodnight, and turned over to sleep. It was so fast that Ling Wei didn’t have time to react.
Ling Wei sat up and stared at Su Mu for a while. Seeing that Su Mu had no intention of turning back, she lay back down, and eventually, her thoughts drifted off into sleep.
Ding… Female Lead’s Favorability +5. Noticing that the Host was truly asleep, the System quietly muted the notification sound and entered sleep mode.
However, the next morning, Su Mu was completely bewildered. One of her arms was around Ling Wei, the other was resting on her waist, and when she moved her leg, she felt a smooth sensation.
Wait, what happened while I wasn’t aware? Could I have already done something to Ling Wei? No, this posture isn’t something I could achieve alone; it wouldn’t be possible without Ling Wei’s cooperation. Could it be…
“Host, don’t overthink it. Last night while you were sleeping, you rolled over and fell off. The Female Lead noticed and tapped you, but you didn’t react. She had to pull you back up herself, but then you just pulled her into your arms. She couldn’t break free, so she had to sleep in your embrace…” The System, seeing Su Mu’s thoughts going wildly off-track, felt the need to clear the Female Lead’s name. Looking at Su Mu’s “painfully happy” expression, it decided not to mention that she had also kissed the Female Lead.
Su Mu stared silently at the ceiling, feeling like the favorability she earned yesterday was probably going to drop…
