Teaching the Female Lead to Be Thick-Skinned, Not Shameless – Chapter 327

Oops, didn’t notice anything during the last bath.

But the time before that, when Hu Yu Ying was in the shower with me, I was absolutely sure Wan Ning didn’t look like that.

I shook my head, secretly wondering if I’d seen things.

In such a short span, how could I be wrong? And if Lin Wan Ning had a partner, she definitely wouldn’t hide it…

“What are you doing? Hurry up and come in! The bathwater’s just right, and if we add more, it’ll overflow.”

With Wan Ning’s call echoing, I just told myself I must have seen things.

I peeled off my little underwear and stepped in.

The hot steam curled inside the tight space into dense mist particles. I took a glance at Wan Ning, then moved into the right bathtub.

Floating in the hot water, every cell felt like they’d been set free.

Suddenly, I let out a little m*an of bliss.

Suddenly, I felt a splash of water across my skin.

I found a comfortable position and lounged: “What’s up?”

“What were you thinking just now?” Wan Ning asked casually, leaning on the edge of the tub.

I lifted my eyes to look at her, body soaked in hot water, red marks deepening on my skin, and I furrowed my brow without answering. Instead, I pointed at the red marks and asked, “What happened to you?”

I looked down at my body, rubbing the red marks with my hand, and said lightly, “Maybe it’s from just now rubbing too hard.”

But I wasn’t very satisfied with this explanation—mainly because the shape of the red mark on my collarbone looked unusual.

It was an irregular oval, not something a finger could make. More like it was suckled out.

After having watched a few adult videos, my mind isn’t exactly pure anymore…

Sucked? Who did the sucking?

Could it be that Wan Ning, after seeing Hu Yu Ying and Dragon Brother (Male) walking together, gave up? Did she quickly find a boyfriend in that short time just to forget about Dragon Brother? And maybe they’ve already… you know, *that*?

But as soon as that thought popped into my head, I was startled.

After all, I’ve known Wan Ning for so long. Though I’ve sensed her secretly spicy side, I also could tell she’s not the type to casually mess around.

Once curiosity is planted, everything starts to seem strange.

At the very least, multiple marks on Wan Ning’s body hinted that something had happened—something I didn’t know about in just two days.

To test my suspicion,

My bright eyes flashed a clever gleam.

I looked at Wan Ning and said, “You go shampoo your hair first—I want to soak a bit longer.”

Hearing that, Wan Ning didn’t doubt for a second. She got up from the bathtub.

Turned on the shower.

As she rinsed her body and pushed her long hair forward to lather shampoo, her movements became clearer, like clearing fog.

The marks on her shoulders looked like someone had their hands under her armpits, grabbing her shoulders from behind.

And to do that, Wan Ning would have to lie down…

I stood up, grabbed some disposable shampoo, tore open the packaging, and squeezed a few dollops onto her hair.

“Your hair’s long; mine’s short. I always end up with a lot left. Don’t waste it,” I said.

“Qing Xue, that’s too much — I got foam in my eyes,” she complained.

“Oh, well, just rinse now,” I replied.

While Wan Ning started rinsing, I squatted behind her, peeking through the gap between her legs and the wall.

This confirmed I hadn’t seen things—I quickly covered my mouth in shock.

Wan Ning really became a woman…

It’s only been two days since we saw each other last…

My surprise turned into curiosity. I watched Wan Ning, wondering who could’ve taken her so quickly.

Yesterday, she said her body was exhausted—was that why?

Thinking of this, my cheeks flushed. I couldn’t believe how fast Wan Ning moved.

I let out a quiet, scoffing laugh.

Hearing me snicker, Wan Ning said with a smile, “What are you laughing at?”

I raised an eyebrow, pretending to be nonchalant, with that “I know what you’re up to” look.

A fool’s wife will see her in-laws sooner or later. Though neither of us is a bride nor groom, I could tell Wan Ning wouldn’t hide it for much longer.

They’ve already gotten close. It’s only a matter of time before they meet the family.

I couldn’t help but wonder—who could it be that quickly captured our Wan Ning?

Seeing her teasing grin, I stepped closer, also pretending to see through her: “You’re smiling like that—something’s up. Are you planning to prank me again?”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you…” I started, hands already wandering over Wan Ning’s delicate body.

That tingling sensation made her all flustered—she couldn’t keep pretending anymore, giggling and protesting, “Wan Ning, are you in love?”

At her words, Wan Ning’s hands froze, her face stiffening for a moment, then she chuckled nervously, “No way.”

Though her hands only paused briefly, don’t forget—they’re resting on my own body, so I felt her sharp awareness immediately.

“Trying to fool me? Afraid I’ll steal your boyfriend?” I teased.

“Look at those marks on your body—who bathes someone there and leaves red streaks? Especially on your legs…” I added, narrowing my eyes at her.

Wan Ning’s smile froze, and her gaze unintentionally flicked to her legs. A sudden realization hit me—that day, Qing Xue had joked that Hu Yu Ying had transformed from girl to woman…

How could I forget?

My heart started pounding with nervousness. I looked at her, pressing my lips together: “Qing Xue, don’t tell anyone about this, okay? Not even Brother or Hu Yu Ying.”

“Don’t worry — do you think I’d spread your secrets?” she giggled, happily convinced I had a boyfriend, totally missing the flicker of tension that crossed my face.

I rolled my eyes because, of course, I was aware she’d keep her mouth shut.

“Qing Xue, many people don’t believe in us. I don’t want to expose our relationship early.”

“So, I really need you to keep this a secret,” I pleaded.

Seeing me serious, Qing Xue also took her stance seriously, thinking Wan Ning had her own reasons.

As a good friend, I naturally support her.

I promised, “I won’t say a word.”

And that’s how, in the quiet of the bath, secrets remained just that—secret.
