She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 309 - 308: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (20)
Ah Chen reached out to catch the little frog, preventing it from jumping onto the ground. She asked, "What are you doing? Performing a show?"
She glanced at the light spot that had been swatted away—it should be Bai Ying’s soul.
From the perspective of the commissioner, Bai Ying was indeed forced into her body and lost her memory upon arrival. So, the commissioner did not harbor much resentment towards Bai Ying, but rather towards those who deceived her and did not intend to hold Bai Ying accountable.
Having yet to make contact with Bai Ying, Ah Chen also didn’t know if there were other reasons behind it.
Just as she was contemplating, the light spot that Ji Wuyan had just swatted away surprisingly flew back toward Ah Chen’s forehead, seemingly set on inhabiting this body.
This made Ah Chen curious. Bai Ying being in the commissioner’s body—was it really just a coincidence? If it were a coincidence, how did it return after being swatted away? There must be something complex about this, even if it’s unrelated to Bai Ying herself; perhaps someone is manipulating things.
Ji Wuyan appeared somewhat grave; why was the light still flying toward her? It surely harbored something strange within.
He was about to jump up and swat the light away again, but unexpectedly, Ah Chen held him, preventing him from leaping.
"So energetic at night?"
Ji Wuyan grew anxious, attempting to break free from her hand, but this delay allowed the light to almost reach her forehead.
Having no choice, he spoke, "Quick, dodge!"
Even as a little frog, he could speak, but generally, they avoided talking to prevent uncontrollable situations from arising.
Naturally, Ah Chen didn’t dodge, gazing at the little frog in her hand, "Are you talking?"
Ji Wuyan watched helplessly as the light entered her forehead, feeling powerless. Since he had already spoken, there was no harm in repeating, "Something just entered your forehead; it probably isn’t a good thing."
"Let me go; I’ll help you check," he added.
Ah Chen curiously asked, "Are you the little frog?"
Ji Wuyan: "I am."
"So, can you transform into a human? Did you really learn it?" Ah Chen continued to tease him.
Ji Wuyan: "Let me go first, and I’ll talk about it later."
Seeing his urgency, Ah Chen stopped teasing him and released her hand. Ji Wuyan easily jumped from her palm onto her head, wearing a face of severe determination.
"Found anything?" Ah Chen asked.
Ji Wuyan sighed, no; he couldn’t look into her mind. He could engage while the light was outside, but once it got in her mind, it was hard to trace. He didn’t know what it was, but he felt it wasn’t good.
"If you can’t find it, never mind; I don’t feel bad."
Ah Chen caught him in her hand, "Let’s talk about whether you can transform into a human."
Unable to find the possibly dangerous light, Ji Wuyan wasn’t in high spirits, but he couldn’t ignore her words.
Staring at each other, Ji Wuyan said, "Yes."
"How do you transform? Like the Prince Frog—does true love need to give a kiss?" Ah Chen asked with great interest.
Ji Wuyan was glad he was a frog now; otherwise, he couldn’t keep a straight face.
"Isn’t it?"
"Yes." He said, it truly was.
However, a kiss only worked once; to autonomously switch between human and frog, he had to marry the person he loved.
"Who’s your true love?" Ah Chen asked again, "You come to me every day—is it me?"
Ji Wuyan was glad he was still a frog; otherwise, his face would surely be red.
"The thing that flew into your forehead seems complex to me, be cautious," Ji Wuyan advised worriedly, "If you trust me, visit the Ji Family tomorrow."
Uncertain if the family could discern anything, but it was the best option.
"Aren’t I your true love?" Ah Chen asked.
Ji Wuyan was silent, failing to redirect the topic.
"Isn’t it me?" Ah Chen asked again.
Ji Wuyan panicked inwardly and instinctively said, "Yes."
Then he felt himself being moved, followed by something touching his lips; in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a human. A hand on his waist, skin touching skin, jolted him back to reality, and his ears turned red.
How dare she?
Ah Chen examined the handsome face up close—it was indeed Ji Wuyan. She didn’t expect transforming into a human was as simple as a kiss; it was rather... interesting.
As she was about to look down, a hand covered her eyes, "Don’t look around."
He had no clothes.
Not expecting her to do it directly, he should’ve cautioned her if he’d known she was so daring, to give her some preparation.
"Aren’t I your true love?" Ah Chen didn’t remove his hand, "What’s wrong with taking a look?"
Ji Wuyan thought: She seemed like a sweet, pretty girl, but the way she spoke was rogue-like.
Then Ji Wuyan realized: If she didn’t like him, he wouldn’t have transformed, so... she likes him too?
He had been a frog, and yet she developed feelings for a frog?
Ah Chen hadn’t expected his transformation would leave him without clothes; she’d never interacted with such a species before, assuming he would automatically have clothes like fairies, evidently not the case.
"I’ll find something to cover you," Ah Chen said, "Not looking at you, lift your hand."
Ji Wuyan lifted his hand, feeling awkward in every way, but she had already turned around.
Soon, a bath towel was thrown over, light pink with a laundry detergent scent; he quickly covered up the necessary parts, feeling somewhat more comfortable.
"All set?" Ah Chen asked with a smile.
Ji Wuyan replied with a soft "Mm," despite his skin uncontrollably turning red as she turned back.
As she approached, he averted his gaze, not daring to look at her, "Visit the Ji Family tomorrow; maybe my family can identify the light spot that entered your forehead—some mysteries exist in this world, and I’m unsure if it might impact you."
Even if the Ji Family cannot discern, they could contact other Mysterious Families for help, each having unique abilities that can identify anomalies.
"Since I’m your true love, have you any thoughts?" Ah Chen leaned in, asking.
Facing her lovely face, it was his first time being so close in human form, making his heart race.
"Wait until you’re divorced," he said.
Originally, he agonized over revealing his identity, unsure of pursuing her as a human or confessing as a frog. Now it was clear; no need to worry over these.
An unexpected light spot revealed his identity; she didn’t seem afraid or against it; instead, she made him human—she liked him.
This realization made Ji Wuyan happy, yet conflicted: Did she like him as a person or as a frog?
"Now as a human, will you still come over?" Ah Chen asked.
Ji Wuyan: "Temporarily; yes."
Unless they are together.
"What about tonight? Little Frog, you can’t leave through the front, can you? As a frog, you could stay anywhere; now, being so noticeable, you can’t be ignored."
Ji Wuyan: ...
"Another kiss and will you become a frog?"
Ji Wuyan clutched the towel, "Probably not."
He anticipated, yet couldn’t deceive her.
"Can you return home by morning?" Ah Chen asked.
Ji Wuyan nodded, "Yes."
"Good," Ah Chen said, pointing at the sofa, "You sleep there tonight."
Lights off, Ji Wuyan nestled into the sofa, exhaling softly.
She then asked, "What will you do after my divorce?"
"Pursue you," he added, "Not for your help, but because I like you." Since the first sight, liking knows no logic.
Without meeting her, he never imagined these things, even if ultimately dying in a rainy night wouldn’t matter.
"Okay," Ah Chen closed her eyes, "Then hurry once I’m divorced, Ji Wuyan."
Subsequently, Ah Chen’s consciousness delved in, locating the light point that entered her mind.
