After Becoming the Love-Brained Female Lead’s Best Friend - Chapter 11

It took Fang Shu quite a while to come back to herself. She eased her body and prepared to walk forward. “What kind of joke is that…”

Ye Wanyin grabbed her hand. The two of them were standing in a secluded open space beneath the teaching building. Very few people passed by, but even so, Ye Wanyin still lowered her voice slightly.

“Is it that you can’t accept being with a girl, or have you simply never considered it before?”

Fang Shu finally looked back at her. Her brows furrowed slightly. “Are you serious?”

Ye Wanyin froze for a moment at the question, then nodded heavily. “Mm.”

Actually, if she thought about it carefully, relying on someone else might overturn at any time. It was better to rely on herself. Besides, the two of them lived together. Maybe even if they broke up, they would break up slower than other people.

The only problem was—

Fang Shu looked at Ye Wanyin suspiciously. “You don’t even like me.”

After convincing herself, Ye Wanyin suddenly became nervous. Like every person confessing their feelings who feared rejection, she took a deep breath and tried her best to appear calm.

“When you were with your ex, didn’t he also not like you?”

And the day after he broke up with her, he had found a girlfriend who was willing to kiss him in the movie theater.

Fang Shu thought about it and nodded slightly. “But your goal is way too obvious.”

Don’t think she didn’t know that Ye Wanyin only wanted to date her so she could make her study.

Ye Wanyin did not “panic” at all. “Every person you dated probably came with a goal too, right? Either they heard rumors and wanted to try dating you, or maybe they had some interest in you and wanted to see if they could win you over in a short time…”

Fang Shu seemed to be convinced by her. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying thoughtfully, “I’ve never dated a girl before…”

Ye Wanyin immediately answered, “I haven’t either.”

She had not even dated a boy before.

Fang Shu frowned and fell into thought. “What “’s interesting about dating a girl?”

Ye Wanyin could not answer that. The words she had blurted out at first had not gone through her brain at all, but after carefully weighing things afterward, she felt that the feasibility was extremely high. So she said to Fang Shu in an inscrutable manner, “You’ll know once you try.”

Fang Shu lifted her eyes to look at her. “It feels like you just said something meaningless.”

Ye Wanyin laughed awkwardly.

But Fang Shu was clearly not someone who could be casually moved by one or two sentences. Although Ye Wanyin had opened the door to a new world for her, she did not immediately intend to step inside. Instead, she stood outside the door and observed.

“I need to think about it.”

Ye Wanyin nodded. Only when Fang Shu was about to leave again did she stop her once more. “About how long do you need to think?”

If it was more than a year or half a year, then she might as well not consider it.

Fang Shu looked at her with an expression that said, Why are you so annoying? and deliberately said, “How would I know?”

Ye Wanyin sighed and tried hard not to appear too urgent. “You still have to give me a deadline.”

Fang Shu thought about it. “At most, a month.”

Ye Wanyin calculated how long she had been in this world and then thought about the mission progress. She bargained, “Can it be a little shorter? A month is a little too long.”

Fang Shu thought about the things she needed to prepare and compromised slightly. “Twenty days. It can’t be any less.”

Ye Wanyin still felt that was a little long, but when she met Fang Shu’s eyes, which clearly said, If you dare complain that it’s too long, I’ll reject you right now, she ultimately compromised.

“Fine.”

Because she had confessed first, Ye Wanyin did not dare urge Fang Shu to study too forcefully lately. Every time she had that thought, Fang Shu would put on the lofty attitude of someone who had been confessed to and threaten her with her eyes.

Ye Wanyin felt that this life was impossible to live, yet she had no choice but to endure it.

Only, every now and then, she still worried. If she waited that long and Fang Shu still rejected her, wouldn’t she lose out badly?

Ye Wanyin spent every day torn, tangled, wanting to speak but holding back. Very soon, the midterm exams arrived. The homeroom teacher announced it one week in advance.

It was Wednesday, and the homeroom teacher’s class was the first class in the afternoon. At the time, many people in class were drowsy. Even Ye Wanyin was low on energy from scaring herself for several days straight. As soon as the homeroom teacher said it, half the people below instantly woke up, while the other half were woken by their classmates. After being reminded, they also woke up.

The classroom immediately broke into an uproar.

The homeroom teacher smacked the blackboard eraser hard against the podium several times. “Quiet down. Now is the time for exams to reveal the truth. After you finish the exams, it’ll happen to be Thursday. Us teachers will work a little harder, so by the time you leave school on Friday, your grades will probably be out. If you don’t want to go home and embarrass yourselves, hurry up now. Don’t blame the teacher for not reminding you.”

Another wave of wails came from below. Someone was even very “considerate” and said to the homeroom teacher, “Teacher, you don’t need to work that hard!”

The homeroom teacher threw a piece of chalk in the direction of the speaker. A faint smile appeared on her face—three parts anger, seven parts a broken-jar attitude of wanting to see what terrible results they could produce.

“Stop being cheeky. There’s still a week before the exam. Hurry and cling to Buddha’s feet now, and maybe it’ll still be a little useful.”

Ye Wanyin looked at Fang Shu beside her, who looked completely unconcerned, and repeated the teacher’s original words from the podium to her. Fang Shu still kept her head lowered and silently raised her middle finger at her.

Recently, Fang Shu had been reading yuri novels, pairing them with yuri anime and yuri comics.

The physical books were still in transit, so Fang Shu had no choice but to read the digital versions first.

She did not know if it was because she had been consuming too much yuri lately, but now, when she looked at a pair of best friends in class, she kept feeling that something about them was not quite right.

Unlike her and Ye Wanyin, whose bond was so plastic it could not get any more plastic, that pair of sisters were practically glued together every day, like conjoined twins. Even when going to the bathroom, one had to run to the other’s seat and pull the other along. Not to mention how sticky they usually were, often holding hands and linking arms.

It was just very… full of lesbian vibes.

Every time Fang Shu looked at them, she could not help looking at Ye Wanyin. Then, when Ye Wanyin looked back, Fang Shu would show disdain with her eyes.

No self-awareness at all for a woman who was supposed to bend.

Ye Wanyin was inexplicably caught in the crossfire.

Because exams were approaching, there were clearly more people staying behind for evening self-study than before. And the number of people surrounding Ye Wanyin had also obviously increased.

Originally, during this period, in order to absorb new knowledge while also conducting a romantic assessment of Ye Wanyin, Fang Shu would wait for Ye Wanyin in the classroom.

Before, when it was only Meng Meng alone, it had been fine. Fang Shu could sit in the seat in front.

Now that there were more people, Fang Shu sat farther away. From that position, forget Ye Wanyin’s strands of hair—even how many people were crowding around her could not be seen clearly.

Some people even saw Fang Shu sitting far away from behind and apologetically said, “Why don’t you sit in your own seat? Anyway, we all have to stand.”

After being asked too many times, Fang Shu lost interest and went back.

And until the day before the exam, Ye Wanyin never came back before ten at night.

Fang Shu once again judged Ye Wanyin as unqualified in her heart.
