The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies-Chapter 271: Learning to Like
“...” Adele’s expression was a bit strange. However, Celeste and Wofoo seemed relieved. Because when Kaiser said she wanted to stay with Adele to learn what “liking” was, it meant she had dropped her hostility towards them. They had inadvertently resolved the huge crisis this woman had presented.
But from another perspective, a different kind of crisis seemed to have emerged. Celeste glanced at Wofoo, then at Kaiser, who was staring intently at Adele. She thought... Master’s romantic luck was really flourishing. Although one was intentional, and the other, unintentional.
“Suit yourself, just don’t cause trouble.”
“I’ll pretend you don’t exist and continue doing my own thing, which will fulfill your wish to know what ‘liking’ is.”
“But we’ll share our camping food with you, don’t worry about that.”
Adele compromised.
Kaiser nodded. She approved of Adele’s approach and didn’t want her presence to bother the other girls or make them act unnaturally. Perhaps what she needed was a normal atmosphere. Not like the family she grew up in. The True Ancestor ignored her, instead treating that little girl in a fancy dress (Dorothy) as a honored guest. And the True Ancestor’s actions undoubtedly influenced the thoughts of those below him. The True Ancestor didn’t care about Kaiser, his direct descendant. So, no one cared about Kaiser, no one cared about her feelings. How could a descendant compare to the True Ancestor who had ruled the family for millennia?
Fortunately, Kaiser was naturally insensitive and wasn’t that sad about it—but that didn’t mean the “sadness” didn’t exist. Maybe, maybe she really was jealous of Dorothy. That’s why she chose to challenge her, to attract the attention of others in the family. To attract the True Ancestor’s attention...
Unfortunately, she failed. She had never beaten Dorothy. Later, the little girl gradually grew into a young woman. She met more people, Bloodkin of the same age, classmates. The family was no longer Kaiser’s everything, and her challenges to Dorothy might no longer be solely due to jealousy. It was more about the desire to win.
More importantly, she tasted the wonderful feeling of being strong. The flattery and fawning of those around her, their attentiveness and care. Those things Kaiser originally lacked, all came flooding towards her during this period, allowing her to ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) fully experience the feeling of satisfaction. She realized that to keep these, or to get more, she had to continue challenging Dorothy, and even defeat her.
But whether it was the previous neglect or the later flattery, these weren’t the environments a normal Bloodkin girl should experience. Over time, she suffered from a severe lack of emotion. Cold, stubborn, and lacking emotional intelligence were her labels. Perhaps she didn’t like herself this way either. But she didn’t know how to change. Many people said she was doing the right thing, but no one told her what the “right standard” was. And she wasn’t strong enough, she couldn’t beat Dorothy. She was even less qualified to exercise the power of the strong and set the rules herself.
Perhaps, deep down, Kaiser longed for a set of rules to follow. She probably hadn’t explicitly thought about it. But her actions were subtly moving in that direction. Whoever it was, give her the rules for how to behave. Tell her... what it felt like to “like.”
Kaiser didn’t know how to “like” someone. Because she seemed to have never been truly loved. Her family, her relatives, didn’t love her. The Bloodkin girls she met later only craved her body, wanting to be ravaged by her. But when Adele appeared in the eyes of the love-starved Kaiser, she froze. Because what appeared before her wasn’t just a girl. But an oasis.
If Kaiser was a desert, dry and withered, lacking the nourishment of “love,” then Adele was an oasis, surrounded by so much affection. And she had so much affection to give to others. Even that Dorothy... was captivated by the love she shared. What kind of feeling was that?
Kaiser only told Adele half the truth. She was indeed jealous that Adele had stolen her rival, Dorothy. But she was also jealous of Dorothy. Jealous of why Dorothy had beautiful “love” before her. After all, before meeting Adele, Dorothy and Kaiser were the same. Except she wasn’t lonely and lacking love. She was noble, seemingly different from ordinary people. But Adele pulled her down from the pedestal of the Bloodkin princess. Then she discovered that the mortal world was also beautiful, and the love of ordinary people was heartwarming.
Kaiser was jealous of both Dorothy and Adele. But she also constantly wanted to be one of them.

After Adele said, “I’ll pretend you don’t exist,” Kaiser really seemed to become air in her eyes. She even deliberately pretended not to see Kaiser, bumping straight into her. “Ouch!”
Then she pretended to fall and get angry. The girl started venting her frustration, pounding her small pink fists against the “Kaiser air” in front of her.
Hitting Kaiser’s chest, it didn’t hurt, failing to penetrate the enemy’s armor. But it did serve its purpose of venting. Adele silently chanted in her heart, “This punch is for Wofoo!” “This punch is for Dorothy...”
The other girls initially watched this scene in silence. But when they realized Adele was “settling personal scores,” they all burst into laughter. Wofoo was the slowest to understand. The werewolf girl wasn’t stupid, just a bit slow. She heard Celeste, Sharon, and Edith laughing beside her, her gray ears twitching in confusion.
Wofoo couldn’t understand what was happening. Because in her opinion, Kaiser wasn’t someone who compromised easily. What was even more ridiculous was Adele’s obvious “seizing the opportunity” to punch Kaiser to vent her anger... Wofoo was sweating for her, but why did Kaiser endure it all!
Generally speaking, if anyone dared to offend Kaiser, even with just words of disrespect, let alone Kaiser herself taking action, the other party would probably be eliminated by Kaiser’s subordinates first! But Adele was now more than just disrespectful with her words; her actions were blatant provocation!
But Kaiser endured it uncharacteristically. Rather, she found it novel and interesting. Anyway, Adele’s punches were weak and didn’t hurt. But for some reason, Kaiser’s heart throbbed slightly when she was punched in the chest by those small fists. This excitement was similar to the feeling she got before challenging Dorothy, but definitely different.
Kaiser couldn’t explain why it arose. But she could silently enjoy it. Besides... Adele, after tiring herself out from punching, suddenly rubbed the spot. What was that about?
“...” The feeling was unexpectedly good. It had the supple feel of an athletic girl, not soft and sinking, but exaggeratedly elastic, even springy!
Adele blushed slightly, retracted her small hand, and coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness. She hadn’t done it on purpose; it was a sudden “grope” in the face of a beautiful girl with a different style. Fortunately, Kaiser was very insensitive and didn’t react even when harassed. So, Adele quickly ran away towards Celeste.
She threw herself into Celeste’s arms, rubbing and nuzzling.
“Celeste! My hand hurts!”
Celeste could only indulge the capricious Adele.
“I’ll rub it for you...”
“If your hand hurts, then don’t go fishing in the river later.”
Fish fins were sharp and could easily cut hands.
“No!”
Unfortunately, no one could stop Adele’s love for “fishing” (slacking off).
Kaiser quietly watched this scene, her gaze fixed on Adele. Probably because she had quietly begun recording Adele’s daily life.
And Kaiser quickly understood something. That was, Adele’s capricious act of acting like a spoiled child towards Celeste was undoubtedly an interpretation of “liking”! Adele liked Celeste, so she could act spoiled and seek care and affection. Celeste liked Adele, so she doted on and cared for her unconditionally.
Kaiser’s eyes lit up slightly. Her choice was indeed correct! Adele was a very special girl. She hadn’t become timid because of Kaiser’s presence. On the contrary, she had entered into her usual atmosphere as always. Rather, she was the creator of that desirable everyday atmosphere. In that atmosphere, she freely liked others, and others responded to her affection. Everything was so natural.
A thought slowly emerged in Kaiser’s mind. Perhaps as long as she continued to observe, she would definitely be able to learn “liking” from Adele...
