The Female Lead is Quite Unusual - Episode 47

Lin Wan splashed a handful of cold water on her face in the restroom, and her muddled mind finally cleared a little.

Five minutes was nowhere near enough time for her to fully process everything.

Why had Bai Yin chased her here? What exactly was going on with her leg? Had she never been injured in the first place, or had she found some way to heal it later?

If Bai Yin had been pretending all along, then why in the original storyline had she been killed off so early?

Lin Wan couldn’t make sense of it: How had her fragile, kind, delicate young lady suddenly transformed into such a strong and imposing figure?

Bai Yin was very punctual. The moment five minutes were up, she knocked on the door.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, straightened her thoughts, and opened the door with a stern expression.

She felt awkward, unsure how to face Bai Yin, but she believed she had every right to be angry. After all, Bai Yin had been deceiving her for so long.

But as soon as she opened the door, an extremely vibrant bouquet of flowers was handed to Lin Wan.

Bai Yin, holding the flowers, looked completely natural and showed no signs of discomfort. Clearly, her previous pollen allergy had been fake.

That meant Bai Yin had probably known her true identity from the very beginning.

Lin Wan pressed her lips together.

“Steward Zhao said most girls like flowers.”

Bai Yin lowered her head, offering the flowers to Lin Wan, her expression seeming a bit embarrassed. “I didn’t know what kind of flowers you liked, so I just bundled up all the common ones.”

Her sparkling eyes were fixed intently on Lin Wan, filled with undisguised affection and joy.

Meeting Bai Yin’s gaze, even though Lin Wan knew this Bai Yin was likely a “black sesame filling” full of dark schemes. Her heartbeat still quickened involuntarily.

It seemed her attraction to Bai Yin wasn’t just because of her fragility.

What had always stirred her heart was the Bai Yin whose eyes held only her, the one who showed endless tenderness to her alone.

Lin Wan didn’t take the flowers from Bai Yin.

She clenched her back teeth hard to keep her composure, staring coldly at Bai Yin.

“What do you mean by this?”

Was Bai Yin here to seek forgiveness?

There was no way she would forgive Bai Yin so easily.

She watched as Bai Yin stood firmly on the ground, healthy just as she had dreamed.

Bai Yin’s graceful figure, the elegance and pressure she unintentionally exuded, felt incredibly familiar, gradually merging with a certain figure in her memory.

Suddenly, Lin Wan realized. The woman from a few nights ago, who had covered half her face and teased her, had also been Bai Yin in disguise!

At the time, Lin Wan hadn’t considered Bai Yin, since she had always been in a wheelchair. But now, seeing Bai Yin like this, how could Lin Wan not understand?

“You… you even pretended to be a stranger a few days ago to mess with me!”

Lin Wan glared at Bai Yin, doing her best to convey her anger.

“I was wrong, Wanwan.” Bai Yin straightened up and smoothly apologized.

“I like Wanwan too much; I couldn’t help but want to get close to you.” A faint blush colored her beautiful face, making her look extremely shy, yet the words she spoke didn’t sound shy at all.

“Meeting Wanwan is the happiest thing that has ever happened to me.”

Bai Yin carefully took Lin Wan’s hand.

“Wanwan, could you give me a chance to seriously pursue you?”

It must be said that Bai Yin was extremely adept at leveraging her advantages.

She seemed to know exactly what kind of demeanor Lin Wan couldn’t resist, her eyes brimming with affection as she gazed at her. Even though Lin Wan tried her best to restrain herself, seeing Bai Yin so focused made her heartbeat quicken uncontrollably, her cheeks flushing once again as she couldn’t help but avert her gaze.

This version of Bai Yin was truly captivating, and Lin Wan almost nodded and said, “Okay.”

She had already guessed Bai Yin’s feelings toward her from her actions, but she never expected Bai Yin to admit it so candidly.

Looking back now, many things had already given hints: Bai Yin’s perfectly healthy, beautiful legs, her forward-thinking guidance for Lin Wan’s small shop, the countless books she had read. None of these were things a fragile, dispirited, delicate young lady should be capable of.

It was just that Lin Wan had been biased from the start, always thinking of Bai Yin as a weak, pitiable little thing, so she had never doubted her.

At this thought, Lin Wan couldn’t help but tense her expression.

All this time, in Bai Yin’s eyes, she might have seemed like a ridiculous clown, desperately trying to perform.

Lin Wan kept a stern face and didn’t respond, but Bai Yin’s attitude remained exceptionally gentle.

She seemed to know exactly what Lin Wan wanted to hear. Shedding her previous delicate demeanor, she didn’t get angry even when faced with Lin Wan’s cold expression. Instead, she took Lin Wan’s hand, sat her down at the table, and recounted everything in detail.

Lin Wan had thought it would be a long story.

But Bai Yin spoke lightly, wrapping up the entire sequence of events in just a few minutes.

The car accident was real, and so were her past pollen allergy and broken leg.

She even mentioned the plan she had once devised to fake her own death.

Hearing about Bai Yin’s plan and reflecting on everything that had happened since coming to this world, Lin Wan couldn’t help but recall the dream she’d had the night she bought the camera: If she hadn’t inadvertently disrupted that plan, would Bai Yin have ended up like in the dream, eventually destroying the world?

Thankfully, even though the current Bai Yin was more cunning, she hadn’t descended into the madness of world destruction as in the dream.

Lin Wan broke out in a cold sweat.

Meanwhile, Bai Yin continued her story, and when she spoke of Lin Wan, her words noticeably multiplied.

Clearly, Bai Yin was cunning. She cleverly twisted many concepts.

But she made no attempt to hide her cunning. As she recounted the myriad moments that had stirred her heart for Lin Wan, Lin Wan had never imagined that those seemingly ordinary instances could hold such joy in Bai Yin’s heart.

This wasn’t a confession; it was a declaration of love in disguise.

Bai Yin had noticed Lin Wan’s busyness and dedication and had been moved by it.

In her eyes, Lin Wan was no clown. Lin Wan’s care and efforts had become a tender trap that completely bound Bai Yin.

Because of Lin Wan, Bai Yin had suddenly discovered the many emotions life could hold.

Bai Yin’s words were truly moving, as if steeped in honey.

Lin Wan had to muster all her strength to keep her composure, yet threads of joy still seeped uncontrollably from the depths of her heart.

But to forgive Bai Yin just like that. Lin Wan felt a lingering reluctance.

She stared at Bai Yin’s flawless profile, recalling how effortlessly Bai Yin had dismissed the flirtatious advances in the ballroom the previous night, and a sudden thought flashed through her mind.

“I was deceived before, which is why I said I’d stay with you for a lifetime.”

Lin Wan raised her head high, imitating Bai Yin’s earlier coquettish demeanor, and looking at Bai Yin’s slightly furrowed brows, she declared loudly, “If you want me to stay with you again, then as you said.”

In the end, she wasn’t thick-skinned enough. Lin Wan paused for a long moment before speaking again.

“Then you’ll have to properly pursue me!”

Lin Wan had only said it casually, but Bai Yin clearly took it seriously. With a pitiful and aggrieved expression, she clung to Lin Wan, murmuring plaintively about how she could earn her forgiveness.

Worn down by her persistence, Lin Wan came up with an idea off the top of her head: she proposed a points system, where Bai Yin would only be considered to have successfully pursued her once she reached a passing score of sixty points.

Thus, in the days that followed, anyone who saw Bai Yin noticed she carried a small notebook with her, meticulously detailing the strategies for earning and losing points.

The two continued traveling abroad.

At Lin Wan’s request, under the condition of “2 points,” Bai Yin reluctantly sent Bai Jian and the others back to their home country, handing them over to the courts and submitting evidence of their involvement in Li Ruyue’s death years ago…

What awaited Bai Jian and his accomplices was a lifetime behind bars.

By this time, Bai Yin’s luck value had reached “95%.”

During this period, Lin Wan, staying by Bai Yin’s side, truly experienced what it meant to be the darling of fortune.

Bai Yin would unexpectedly find money on the street, discover a gold ring in her bowl while eating, and was adored by all kinds of animals. Even when they traveled to places with thunderstorms, as soon as Bai Yin arrived, the weather would inevitably clear up the next day.

Lin Wan had been giving Bai Yin the cold shoulder these days, but Bai Yin didn’t seem to hold any resentment. Instead, she humbled herself, clinging to Lin Wan and persistently begging for points.

They went to see the stunning auroras together, dancing on a frozen lake. Bai Yin moved with the grace and agility of an ice fairy, a bright rose between her lips as she twirled Lin Wan across the ice. Lin Wan couldn’t help but lose herself in the sight.

They visited the most beautiful islands. Bai Yin, ever possessive, refused to let Lin Wan go to the public beaches. Instead, on a private stretch of sand, she donned a stunning swimsuit that nearly stole Lin Wan’s breath away.

They indulged in desserts in the land of chocolate. Lin Wan ended up with chocolate smeared on her lips, and by a beautiful fountain, Bai Yin used the excuse of wiping it off to slyly steal a kiss.

Lin Wan adopted a beautiful Ragdoll cat, naming her “Miss Jiao Jiao.” There was a hint of mockery aimed at Bai Yin in the name, but Bai Yin only smiled indulgently, showing no sign of offense. Instead, she leaned close to Lin Wan’s shoulder, her breath warm and fragrant as she whispered.

“As long as Wanwan wants it, and is willing to give me points, I can be as coquettish as you like.”

Lin Wan shuddered, unable to suppress the slight curve of her lips.

During this time, she felt she ought to be angry. Clearly, she had been fooled by Bai Yin, which was why she had been deliberately withholding points, refusing to let Bai Yin reach the passing score.

But Lin Wan soon realized there wasn’t much anger in her heart. In fact, she felt a sense of relief. After all, Bai Yin having the ability to protect herself had long been her wish.

Lin Wan despised her own rationality: she understood Bai Yin’s deception. In the midst of wolves circling them, if Bai Yin hadn’t pretended, she might not have survived.

So much time had passed. It was about time to forgive her.

Although Bai Yin appeared normal in front of her, Lin Wan had a faint premonition. That dream she once had was real. If Bai Yin ever lost control, the entire world would likely descend into chaos.

She didn’t want to push Bai Yin too far.

Moreover, being teased by Bai Yin every day, Lin Wan wasn’t a nun. How could she remain detached and desireless forever?

Bai Yin’s words were already an extremely obvious hint.

Thinking this, Lin Wan’s heart grew warm as well.

“Bai Yin, don’t speak so confidently,” she felt a stirring inside, but her expression remained inscrutable as she glanced at Bai Yin, her voice hoarse. “Don’t say you weren’t warned!”

Someone as proud as Bai Yin would surely never willingly take the submissive role. Pinning Bai Yin down would be the greatest punishment for her!

Lin Wan was all talk. By nature, she simply couldn’t take the initiative.

But how could someone as sharp as Bai Yin let this opportunity slip away?

That very night, she knocked on Lin Wan’s door, and as soon as she entered, she captured Lin Wan’s lips in a kiss, whispering hoarsely in her ear.

“Wanwan, help me take off my bathrobe.”

Lin Wan naturally knew what that symbolized.

She could talk big, but when it came down to it, she was utterly flustered. She didn’t dare look into Bai Yin’s alluring eyes and instinctively turned to flee.

Bai Yin, who had been waiting for so long, wouldn’t let Lin Wan escape so easily.

She tightened her grip on the back of Lin Wan’s head, deepening the kiss, and while Lin Wan was dazed, she guided her backward step by step. By the time Lin Wan realized what was happening, she was already lying on the bed.

“You… I…”

Lin Wan curled into a ball under the covers, not daring to move a muscle, not even opening her eyes.

Bai Yin was wearing nothing but the bathrobe!

Bai Yin, however, let out a soft chuckle and leisurely traced Lin Wan’s flushed cheeks.

“Wanwan, are you sure you don’t want to?” She leaned close to Lin Wan’s ear, her voice so tender it seemed to drip with honey.

Lin Wan ignored her.

At that moment, she was so shy she felt like she might explode. How could she possibly respond?

Besides, she suddenly realized she had no idea what to do. What if she ended up hurting Bai Yin?

“I deceived you before, Wanwan.”

Bai Yin seemed to be studying her. After a moment, Lin Wan heard Bai Yin’s voice again, thoughtful and tinged with something strange, as if suppressing some emotion.

“I should atone for my sins.”

So, Bai Yin thought she was punishing her and didn’t want to continue?

Lin Wan blinked, thinking she should reassure Bai Yin. Bai Yin’s demeanor suggested she had already resigned herself to the submissive role. A significant sacrifice for someone like her. For Lin Wan to back out now would be rather unfair.

Just as Lin Wan opened her eyes to speak, she saw Bai Yin slip under the covers.

Then, Lin Wan trembled all over, her eyes widening in shock!

That refined, picky mouth of the delicate young lady actually.

After that, Lin Wan had no time to be shocked.

She cried out again and again, “No more! If you keep going, I’ll deduct points.”

But even after she deducted all the way into negative points, Bai Yin who usually treated points as her life, paid her no mind this time.

The matter of points became an unspoken inside joke between them.

Until the very end of her life, Bai Yin never managed to score above sixty.

Butler Zhao often felt utterly perplexed. Sometimes, Bai Yin would clearly be murmuring about her points being about to max out, yet after one night, they would revert to negative values. But Bai Yin didn’t seem to mind in the slightest; in fact, she appeared exceptionally joyful, even laughing with delight.

It was only through the steadily diminishing number of objects on the third floor that Butler Zhao caught a glimpse of the truth.

After Bai Yin revealed her talent for medicine-making to Lin Wan, Lin Wan frequently begged her to develop more drugs. Thanks to the favor of the world’s consciousness, Bai Yin’s success rate was astonishingly high.

Through a series of coincidences, Bai Yin became a celebrated pharmaceutical master, winning countless awards and even appearing in school textbooks.

As for Lin Wan, she still became a freelance photographer. In her later years, when she could no longer bounce around energetically, she took Bai Yin along to engage in charitable work.

Bai Yin had never imagined she would live peacefully into old age. To her, it all felt as beautiful as a dream.

One night, Lin Wan lay down to sleep and never woke up again.

Grief-stricken, Bai Yin gently stroked Lin Wan’s aged face, thinking of her sudden transformation, the nursery rhymes she had hummed that didn’t belong to this world, her forward-thinking remarks that surpassed the era, and her daily worries about Bai Yin potentially destroying the world.

Outside, a fierce wind howled, as if anticipating something. The entire world trembled faintly.

Bai Yin’s luck value, which had remained unchanged at “95%” for so long, abruptly shifted to “100%” in that instant.

In Bai Yin’s sorrowful eyes, a strange excitement stirred to life.

“Is it her? Has she been revived?”

Her gaze lingered tenderly on Lin Wan’s no longer youthful face. She nuzzled Lin Wan’s hand and suddenly began to weep softly, like a wronged child.

“How wonderful!” Choking back tears, she whispered in emotion, then closed her eyes and lay down beside Lin Wan— Wanwan, in the next world, we will meet again.”
