The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 22

Ye Jinmeng ran back to her room and shut the door. She immediately threw herself onto her soft princess bed.

"Ahhhhh! This is so embarrassing!" Ye Jinmeng stuck her butt in the air and buried her entire head in the quilt, as if by doing so she could preserve the last shreds of her dignity.

She didn't raise her head from under the quilt until she nearly suffocated. Her little face was flushed, whether from embarrassment or lack of air, and glowed bright red like a ripe apple.

"How am I going to face Brother Shuning in the future..." Ye Jinmeng wailed. Her mind kept returning to the scene right before she got out of the car, with the abundance of visual stimulation and that wonderful tactile sensation...

"Ahhhh! What am I even thinking about!" Ye Jinmeng raised her hand and knocked her little head, softly berating herself.

Knock knock knock! The bedroom door was knocked. Then came Ye Jinchen's gentle, low voice, "Mengnuo, the cooling tea is ready, have a drink before you rest."

"Okay, big brother, come in!" Ye Jinmeng called towards the door.

Ye Jinchen pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing his little sister hugging a quilt on the bed with her pretty eyebrows knotted into a frown, his brows also wrinkled up.

"Mengnuo, why is your nose bleeding again?"

"Huh?" Hearing him ask, Ye Jinmeng reached up and touched her nose, then looked down to see blood on her fingers once again.

"Why did it start bleeding again...wuwuwu..." Ye Jinmeng was nearly in tears from anger at herself.

Ye Jinchen put down the cooling tea on the bedside table, then took a few tissues and handed them to Ye Jinmeng. With concern, he said, "We really should go to the hospital. Having a persistent nosebleed like this might signify an underlying health issue."

"No...no need, big brother, I'll be fine soon, really." While speaking, Ye Jinmeng chugged down the cooling tea in one gulp, as if drinking it could bring her peace of mind...

"How can I not worry with you being like this? If something were to happen to you, when Mom and Dad come back they'll be worried sick." Ye Jinchen still wanted to take Ye Jinmeng to the hospital.

Ye Jinmeng hastened to reassure him. "Big brother, I'm really okay this time. If my nosebleeds again, then we can go to the hospital, alright?"

Ye Jinchen was still uneasy, but just as he wanted to keep persuading Ye Jinmeng, his phone rang. He took out his phone to see it was Shi Shuning calling.

Shi Shuning had just returned home. He had wanted to call little chubby Mengnuo, but her phone displayed as turned off, likely because it was out of battery. So he could only call Ye Jinchen to ask about Mengnuo's condition.

"Shuning, what's up?" Ye Jinchen picked up and asked.

"Second brother, is little chubby Mengnuo okay now?" Shi Shuning's voice came through over the phone.

Ye Jinchen's brows knotted tight as he coldly asked Shi Shuning, "You sent her back and now her nose is bleeding again. It had just stopped. Do you know what caused this?"

"Ah? It's still bleeding?" Shi Shuning's nervous voice transmitted through the phone.

"Just what exactly happened?" If not for seeing no injuries on her face, Ye Jinchen would suspect his little sister had been beaten!

"I...I just touched her belly a bit..." Shi Shuning weakly recounted what had happened earlier.

Hearing this, Ye Jinchen raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows. Is his little sister really so incompetent?

He deeply sighed. "I see. You should avoid contacting her for now until she recovers." Then he directly hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, listening to the "beep beep" signal, Shi Shuning couldn't help but wail, "I'm done for! I was too impatient and overdid the medicine dosage! Wuwuwu, what should I do now?!"

...

Ever since her brother had picked up the phone, Ye Jinmeng had vaguely heard Shi Shuning's voice. She could also roughly guess that Shi Shuning had confessed everything to her brother.

Seeing his little sister sitting dejectedly on the bed, head lowered, seemingly wanting to hide in a hole, Ye Jinchen felt both angry and amused.

He walked over and flicked her on the forehead, berating her, "What good can I say about you? You read so many novels, yet you got a massive nosebleed just from touching some abs?"

Ye Jinmeng covered her stinging forehead. Too ashamed to lift her head after being scolded, she mumbled, "It's not like I can control it...my nose just bleeds on its own, it doesn't have an on/off switch..."

Ye Jinchen sighed. He sat down at the edge of the bed and asked, "So what are your thoughts now? Do you want to start a relationship?"

Ye Jinmeng tilted her head and peeked at her brother. Blushing, she said, "I hadn't thought about it before, but today Brother Shuning asked if I liked any boys, so I suddenly started wondering a bit..." After all, which girl in bloom wouldn't fantasize about a dramatic, fiery romance?
