I’ll Become the Female Lead in this Trashy Webnovel - CH 32.1

32. Good day, perfect plan (1)

*HICCUP*

It was a constant stream of vulgarity.

As always, Joshua soothed Sohee’s back slowly after making her feel embarrassed.

Then, he settled his right arm underneath her and raised her upper body as the cup of water in his other hand approached.

So-hee got up, took the cup he offered, and started drinking.

When the tremors subsided bit by bit, she asked calmly. “What do you mean?”

With a smile, Joshua took the empty cup from her and put it aside.

“You told me about it last time. You said you lost your memory because you hurt your head in the past.”

“Ah.”

She rubbed her chest to calm herself down.

It appeared like his statement didn’t mean anything and she got nervous for no reason.

As the man leaned his back against the headboard, he slowly brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.

Only Ariadne’s moonlit beauty was reflected in Joshua’s eyes.

“Stay with me until you regain your memory, Ariad. I get anxious every time you leave me alone.”

‘Then, I would be grateful.’

Gulping down the response that threatened to burst out, Sohee nodded coolly and asked, “How about on the 17th?”

Joshua’s eyes folded when he smiled.

At that moment, his handsome face could have belonged to a famous painting.

“Except that day.” He replied emphatically before lowering his lips to Sohee once again.

Time flew as fast as an arrow.

The clear sunlight infiltrating the windows created a shadow of steel bars still firmly attached to her bedroom.

Today, this shadow will disappear in a few minutes.

“The day is too good for a person to die.”

So-hee looked up at the cloudless blue sky while expecting a guest who would soon witness the leaves shake.

Hugh arrived from the woodland, smiling at her as his fingers fluttered over his blue hair.

She got out of bed and stretched her weak and mushy muscles for the first time in a long time.

When she felt that the pain was less than before, she realized that her condition had improved.

She approached the window while limping and grabbed the thick velvet curtains.

A young man wearing his signature smile stood right in front of her.

“Why are you smiling like that?”

“It feels good to see you again.”

The golden halo behind his cute face almost induced cardiac arrest in her poor heart.

She closed her eyes shut before opening them.

“I’ve done the work as you said.”

Hugh, who never listened even if she told him not to come, still visited her in her bedroom every time Joshua wasn’t around.

She couldn’t deny that Hugh was a great help to her plan.

When she shook the steel bars in her hands lightly, what seemed hard in the past was now easily separated from the window.

Soon, the large rectangular window was wide open after removing its entire cover, causing the cool breeze to brush against her skin.

She smiled in satisfaction.

“Hugh, I’ll save you, too.”

“What?”

Hugh tilted his head in confusion.

Despite Joshua——who was as hard and steely as an iron bar——saying that he would do everything to kill Deon and Hugh, he still wouldn’t be able to stop her from doing what she wanted as this web novel’s author.

She snatched the iron bars from Hugh’s hands and tossed them under the window.

“I can do you next after saving someone else.”

Hugh reached out a hand as she kept murmuring incomprehensible things.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m willing to help.”

Grasping his forearm, So-hee left the room where she had been trapped for a long time.

After crossing the window, she frowned at the sunlight shining down on her face.

It had been a long time since she had seen it in person.

She carefully scanned the path that she had to descend.

Despite her bedroom being located on this floor, it still made her feel lightheaded since the distance appeared quite far from the ground.

As Hugh carried her, she tightened her arms around his neck.

His wrists and legs, which were more slender than Joshua, seemed to tremble.

“You’re all right, right?”

“Of course!”

Hugh tried to smile at her but it turned into a grimace from enduring So-hee’s weight.

Hugh’s forehead became sweaty as he helped her down the tree.

Nevertheless, the solid arm supporting So-hee remained until the end and he was able to secure her on top of the horse he had prepared.

Hugh took a deep breath before climbing after her.

As So-hee tried not to mention his struggles so that he wouldn’t feel embarrassed, she reminded Hugh nervously. “Remember this, Hugh. You only have to drop me off and leave me as soon as possible.” She uttered firmly.

Joshua must have already taken care of everything properly and the last thing they could do was to stand out.

The only thing she could see above her head was the tip of his chin and she noticed it nodding in agreement.

Hugh’s left arm was wrapped around Ariad’s waist while his right hand clutched the horse’s reins.

Everything was all good until she heard someone shouting her name from behind.

“Lady Ariad!”

She tensed.

The knight chasing after them was a surefire sign that they weren’t in the clear yet.

She and Hugh were almost caught when their horse’s speed had fallen short compared to the knight’s horse fiercely chasing after them.

“Hugh, come on!”

Upon seeing the knight, Hugh started being reckless and the knight gradually turned into a dot from the distance until it vanished.

“Please proceed to the West Tower!”  So-hee shouted as she pressed a palm against her anxiously pounding heart.

As if responding to her impatient voice, Hugh accelerated even more.

Sohee’s purple hair fluttered about in the wind.
