Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 17

Chapter 17

My eyes were fixed on that door, and my heart was pounding. In the end, I decided to text Shen Shiyi to ask what was going on.

However, just a few seconds after I sent the message, the door suddenly opened, revealing Shen Shiyi.

“This door leads to my room,” Shen Shiyi said with a mischievous smile.

Song Zhiqi: “…” Damn it.

“What’s wrong? You don’t look happy. I live right next door. If you need anything at night, I can get to you in the fastest way possible,” Shen Shiyi said, smiling innocently at my constipated expression.

“What could I possibly need!” I gritted my teeth, enunciating each word.

“Who knows? Maybe you’ll feel a little cold sleeping alone at night and want someone to warm up your bed?” Shen Shiyi said, feigning seriousness.

“You’re full of it!” I said angrily. I had slept alone for so many years. How could I feel cold!

Shen Shiyi shrugged, looking as if she didn’t want to argue with me. She kindly reminded me, “It’s getting late. You should go take a shower. I’m going to, too.”

I snorted coldly, pushed Shen Shiyi back into her room, and closed the door without even getting a good look at her room. In the end, I studied the door to see if I could lock it to keep that person from coming over.

But no matter how hard I looked, I realized that this door couldn’t be locked.

Song Zhiqi: “…”

What is wrong with that woman, Shen Shiyi? What normal person would connect their room to a guest room?

But I was truly tired and had no energy to argue anymore. I grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When I saw the bathtub, I couldn’t help but sigh. I didn’t expect the Shen family to even have a bathtub in the guest room.

Since there was a bathtub, of course, I wanted to take a nice, long bath. Soaking in the warm water, I felt the softness of the water caress my skin. I let out a comfortable sigh. The lingering sensations from Shen Shiyi were smoothed and washed away. The itch in my heart finally calmed down.

Thinking about that woman next door, I cursed in my heart. That woman’s way of doing things was so reckless. I wondered if she had ever been beaten up in her life. She really deserved a beating!

“System, what kind of person was the perfect woman in the original novel?” I couldn’t help but ask. In the TV show clips I had seen, the perfect woman seemed quite normal! Could the TV show have made significant changes to her character?

System: “Aloof, powerful, law-abiding. She is a businesswoman with a strong sense of principle.”

Song Zhiqi: “…?”

I won’t even mention the other points. Just the “law-abiding” part. In what way does Shen Shiyi seem law-abiding!

If she’s law-abiding, are there any criminals left in this world!

I let out a long sigh. But Shen Shiyi was indeed powerful in the novel. Under Fu Wen’s male lead halo, the Shen family was still able to exist and become a family that was on par with the Fu family.

It’s important to remember that in the novel, the Gu family’s ultimate fate was to be taken over by the Fu family. As the family of the villainous female character, they naturally wouldn’t have a good ending.

I stopped thinking about it. At least for now, the situation seemed pretty good for me. Ever since Shen Shiyi returned to the country, I’ve been able to interact with the main characters every day, so I don’t have to be suppressed by that unknown force anymore.

After washing up and putting on my pajamas, I looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t help but lightly touch my face, a little dazed.

No wonder I was brought to this world. Not only do we have the same name, but our appearances are exactly the same. Sometimes, I even wonder if I transmigrated.

But this idea brought up another question. If I transmigrated, where did the original me go?

“By the way, why did you ask me to come and act out the plot? Couldn’t the original me do it? Did something happen?” I remembered this question. After all, if the original plot was to be followed, couldn’t the original me have done it? Why go to all the trouble of finding me?

The system seemed to have lagged for a moment. It answered my question a little late.

“The original me was erased because she awakened her own consciousness and refused to follow the original plot.”

The look in my eyes in the mirror became sharp. My hand on the sink slowly tightened, and my face became a little tense and ugly.

The system’s words were undoubtedly a subtle warning to me. If I didn’t complete the mission as they told me to, my end would also be to be erased.

…

After blowing my hair dry, I came out of the bathroom. I had already adjusted my mindset. I’ll just deal with whatever comes my way. I was in a passive state right now. What more could I ask for?

I lay on the bed, picked up my phone, and saw a message from Gu Shiyu.

Miss Gu: I heard you had dinner with Fu Wen brother tonight?

This tone and these words… it was clear she was here to question me!

Song Zhiqi: Yes, but don’t worry. It wasn’t just the two of us. Shen Shiyi was there, too.

The other side replied quickly.

Miss Gu: You call that “don’t worry”? Everyone knows Fu Wen brother likes Shen Shiyi!

Miss Gu: Are the methods you taught me even useful? Why is it so slow!

And now there was an extremely unsettling change. The Shen Shiyi that Fu Wen liked had returned to the country. If I didn’t appear in front of Fu Wen, how could he possibly remember me?

Song Zhiqi: The methods are definitely useful. Look at me. I was able to have dinner with him, right?

Miss Gu: Do you have a faster method? I’m a little impatient.

Song Zhiqi: …Miss, you can’t rush things!

Miss Gu: I don’t care. Otherwise, I’m getting my money back.

As soon as I heard “money back,” my spirit was revitalized. I sent a smiling emoji to her and then continued typing.

Song Zhiqi: Then how about this? On top of what I’ve told you, you’ll join the Fu Group. While you’re there, you need to focus on your career, act cold toward Fu Wen, and maintain a professional demeanor. You also need to be consistent in private. Don’t call him “Fu Wen brother” anymore.

Miss Gu: ???

Song Zhiqi: I want you to appear in front of him and let him clearly see your change. Naturally, he’ll be attracted to you! You just need to focus on your work and treat him like a regular boss!

Miss Gu was still skeptical: Is it useful?

I was immediately angry: If he doesn’t change his attitude toward you within a month, I’ll refund you immediately!

Miss Gu: Fine! Remember what you said!

I snorted. I didn’t believe that dog, Fu Wen, wouldn’t fall for this kind of “playing hard to get!”

But before I could reply to Gu Shiyu’s message, I felt the mattress behind me slightly sink. A warm body with a fresh shower gel scent pressed against me. Shen Shiyi’s clear and pleasant voice came from next to my ear.

“Who are you chatting with that’s so fun? Let me see, too?”

Song Zhiqi: “…”

Does this person not have a sound when she walks?

So that’s what that door is for?
