The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 43.2
After washing up at night, Wen Zhao prepared to go to sleep, but before she fell asleep, the system, a bit worried about Wen Zhao’s mental state, made a rare appearance and wanted to have a little chat with her.
Wen Zhao sat on the bed, hugging her blanket, her emotions quite calm.
[Don’t worry, I’m fine] she said.
The system hesitated, [Are you sure? If there’s anything unpleasant, you can tell me.]
Wen Zhao smiled softly, [Even if I told you, it wouldn’t solve anything. And besides, compared to that, the most important thing is to finish the plot quickly. And also… the female supporting character values are so annoying, can we stop earning them?]
The system glanced at the various statistics it had compiled on its panel, and when it saw a certain number, its tone was quite complex. Even its flat electronic voice had a slight fluctuation.
[I think this won’t be necessary for you to worry about for much longer] it said.
Wen Zhao was startled and immediately perked up.
After all, when she had asked, it was just a casual question without any hope, but who would have thought… it was actually true? Could she really stop earning them?
The system vaguely said, [The specific conditions can’t be revealed now, you’ll be informed of the details after they are unlocked. In any case, the host doesn’t need to worry.]
Wen Zhao’s mood suddenly improved a lot. She couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her lips, [That considerate? Alright, then I’ll just wait. Thank you, system.]
The system felt a bit undeserving of the thanks.
[No… this is also the result of the host’s efforts.]
Wen Zhao was a bit puzzled, but because it involved unlocking conditions, the system was unwilling to continue talking no matter what.
However, Wen Zhao didn’t mind too much. After all, this was already the best news.
Then, she lay down and prepared to fall asleep.
Wen Zhao quickly fell into a dream.
In the dream, she was poisoned with the Caihua Powder again, trapped alone in a room. The poison was burning her, making her lose all reason, as if she was in a fire, sweating all over.
Wen Zhao tossed and turned, her clothes soaked with sweat. She panted uncomfortably, even peeling off her clothes and reaching down.
She hadn’t completely lost her mind and could even solve it herself, but for some reason this time, no matter what she did… she couldn’t reach that state.
It was as if the quenching water was right in front of her, but Wen Zhao couldn’t reach it no matter what.
She curled up tightly, whimpering in discomfort.
At this moment, a pair of cool hands touched her cheek.
Wen Zhao couldn’t help but raise her head, sat up, and leaned towards that person, then fell into her arms, rubbing against her.
The familiar cold fragrance entered her nose, making Wen Zhao let out a comfortable moan. She felt like she had returned to a safe haven, no longer feeling any sadness, and her whole body relaxed.
Wen Zhao rubbed against the person in her arms, her ears and cheeks touching, her limbs intertwined, and their lips met.
In this intimate atmosphere, Wen Zhao gently shed tears.
She clung tightly to the person in front of her, unable to bear to let go.
••••
Wen Zhao opened her eyes and woke up from her dream. She put the back of her hand against her forehead, breathing slightly, and then kicked the blanket down a little, only to feel hot all over.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up from a dream…
Thinking about it, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but bite her lower lip, her eyes filled with a hint of shyness.
Why, why would she dream of those things? Clearly, she and Fu Yu no longer had any relationship, and they didn’t even have any contact, and several days had passed since the antidote, but why…
Why would she dream of such things?
Wen Zhao curled up her legs slightly, her ears turning red.
That dream was too real, so real that it felt like it had actually happened, making Wen Zhao’s legs feel weak.
She gently bit her finger to wake herself up.
But soon, Wen Zhao realized something was wrong. She sat up straight and frowned slightly.
Clearly, she had been awake for several minutes, but why hadn’t this heat subsided?
Wen Zhao narrowed her eyes, feeling something was amiss. She got out of bed and became more alert.
And only after she had completely woken up from that emotional state did Wen Zhao discover more inconsistencies, such as the fact that this heat did not come from her own body, but rather from the surrounding environment.
It was as if… the room itself was heating up.
But there’s no heating here, so what’s going on?
Clearly, this situation was unusual, and Wen Zhao didn’t intend to delay. She pulled her collar up and was about to go out and call for help, but the next moment she found that all the doors and windows were locked.
Wen Zhao didn’t hesitate and directly took out her weapon, slowly retreating to a relatively safe place. She frowned tightly and called out to the system in her mind.
[What’s going on?]
However, the system didn’t know either.
Wen Zhao took a deep breath to calm herself down and began to analyze slowly.
First of all, this situation definitely didn’t appear in the original novel, but Wen Zhao wasn’t worried about that. After all, since Xie Ting proposed the condition of catching Lu Bicai, they had already taken a different path. Although this path also led to the correct ending, the scenery along the way was completely different.
Wen Zhao had been prepared for this, so she wasn’t flustered by this situation.
What she was puzzled and wary of was who the enemy was, what their situation was, and what their purpose was.
And… what about the others?
Wen Zhao suddenly paused, because she remembered that Fu Yu’s room seemed to be next to hers. Although they had booked rooms together, it seemed that only her and Fu Yu’s rooms were adjacent, and You Zixia’s room was two rooms away.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhao approached the wall.
She knocked on the wall with her hand, but there was no response for a long time.
“Fu Yu?” Wen Zhao couldn’t help but call out.
After a moment, Wen Zhao rubbed her hair, feeling like she had been dazed by the heat. She thought maybe Fu Yu’s situation was different from hers, and besides, with such a thick wall, perhaps Fu Yu couldn’t hear her even if she knocked with her fingers.
So Wen Zhao took a deep breath, then stepped back two steps, and then suddenly swung her whip, making a loud “snap” as it struck the wall.
She could only blame herself for not remembering how to transmit sound through walls at this moment.
A moment later, a sound came from the other side of the wall, and it seemed quite loud.
Sure enough, something had happened to Fu Yu as well? She just didn’t know who had attacked them, what their purpose was, or how strong they were.
Why did they attack them so quietly without anyone noticing?
Wen Zhao thought of You Zixia and Zhan Fu, wondering how they were doing and if they had been attacked.
But now was clearly not the time to think too much. Wen Zhao came to the other side of the wall. She was just about to try and call out when she heard Fu Yu’s voice coming from the other side.
“…Are you alright?”
Fu Yu used a voice transmission, and although it was through the wall, it was still clear.
Hearing her soft, jade-like voice, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but be startled, and her heart seemed to be struck.
She slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and her fingers clenched.
Hearing Fu Yu’s voice again in such a situation, Wen Zhao felt a slight ache in her nose.
For some reason, at this moment, she had a feeling of… a long-lost reunion with Fu Yu.
But to say that wasn’t too far off. Although she had been able to see Fu Yu every day, neither of them had taken the initiative to speak, let alone communicate.
It was supposed to be a return to the original position, but now, it was as if they had retreated directly to the freezing point.
Although they saw each other every day, they were far apart.
Now this… was almost the first time they had had a proper conversation.
Wen Zhao sniffed slightly, and then her voice was slightly hoarse, “I’m fine… what about you?”
She didn’t know what method Fu Yu was using, but anyway, Wen Zhao’s voice was transmitted to her. Fu Yu said softly, “I’m fine too.”
Unlike the calm in Wen Zhao’s room, her room was already a world of ice and snow, covered in white snow, turning her room into an ice kingdom.
And Fu Yu was leaning against the wall. Her skin was as white as snow, and her lips were completely colorless. Her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were all covered with frost, and her fingertips were purple, but Fu Yu seemed unaware of the abnormality, and she still lowered her eyes lightly, with a hint of a very gentle emotion in her eyes, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.
With one hand, she was forming a hand seal, controlling the situation in her room to prevent it from deteriorating further, while with the other hand, she pressed against the wall, constantly drawing talismans.
While she was dealing with the sudden situation in her room, she was also helping Wen Zhao to control the bad situation on her side.
Fu Yu had woken up very early and noticed something was wrong, but she couldn’t wake Wen Zhao up, so she could only use this method to try to control the situation on her side, while also dividing her attention to deal with her own situation.
When Wen Zhao hit the wall with her whip, Fu Yu was distracted, so the situation on her side got out of control, hence the loud noise just now.
And now Wen Zhao was awake, but she still didn’t say anything.
After all… she still didn’t know anything, and she was like a clueless rabbit. Fu Yu could almost imagine her bewildered and lost look. Thinking of this, her heart softened infinitely… and only she could help her.
Fu Yu was willing, and she was happy to do so.
Wen Zhao leaned against the wall. She wanted to deal with the situation in front of her, but she didn’t know how to deal with it. At this moment, the only person she could rely on and was willing to rely on was Fu Yu.
Wen Zhao asked softly, “What should I do…”
Hearing her voice, Fu Yu looked around the room, but couldn’t see anything unusual. Perhaps… the eye of the formation was in the next room.
So Fu Yu said to Wen Zhao, “Look around your room and see if there’s anything special, or any talismans.”
Hearing Fu Yu’s instructions, Wen Zhao immediately started searching.
But no matter how hard she searched, she couldn’t find anything. At the same time, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
For some reason, there was a constant feeling of restlessness and anxiety urging her to find a solution quickly, as if the longer she delayed, the worse it would be.
And in fact, that was the case.
As time passed, not only was the temperature rising on Wen Zhao’s side, but the situation on Fu Yu’s side was deteriorating even more.
There was already a layer of ice on her feet, and it was gradually freezing up her legs.
Fu Yu lowered her eyes and glanced at them indifferently, but she didn’t make any move. Because she couldn’t leave yet.
Fu Yu continued to draw talismans on the wall without stopping.
What about her little rabbit if she left?
But even so, even for Fu Yu, it was difficult to maintain control over two formations alone. Gradually, drops of cold sweat seeped out, but as soon as they came into contact with the outside world, they froze into ice beads.
Fu Yu’s cold breath grew heavier, and she could gradually feel that her control over the two rooms was gradually weakening. At the same time, she could also hear Wen Zhao’s increasingly heavy breathing next door.
Fu Yu paused for a moment, then slightly reduced her power on her side, but increased her control over Wen Zhao’s side.
But as soon as part of her power was withdrawn, the cold air in the room immediately intensified.
The ice began to creep up Fu Yu’s legs.
Her face had turned pale to a slightly greenish hue.
Wen Zhao, who had been searching for something, paused, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She subconsciously looked at the wall on Fu Yu’s side, and for some reason, her heart felt like it was being wrung out.
Wen Zhao rushed to the wall and anxiously asked, “Are you okay, Fu Yu? Are you really okay?! – Answer me.”
Hearing Wen Zhao’s voice, which seemed to be right beside her ear, Fu Yu curved her lips slightly. She closed her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes were covered in white frost.
Her fingers kept drawing talismans on the wall, even though her fingers were stiff and almost numb.
Fu Yu replied softly, “I’m fine. A Zhao, I’m fine.”
