After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: The Relationship Becomes Very Subtle

◎The supporting female lead is a little flustered◎

Yan Sui was so sleepy, but her worries kept her rambling.

“From now on… I won’t force you to do anything you don’t like…”

“But, you also have to promise me a few things…”

Jian Liyun’s heart was soft. She took the initiative to hook the other person’s pinky finger. “I promise you.”

System: Wait, the Host hasn’t even said what the things are. Is this right?

Yan Sui’s voice got softer and softer. “You have to be healthy, you have to become a big star, you have to…”

Her voice was so soft that Jian Liyun had to lean closer and closer to hear her. In the end, Jian Liyun leaned all the way down to her lips.

In her daze, Yan Sui smelled the familiar jasmine fragrance.

She also said the last three words, “You have to be happy.”

Jian Liyun found it hard to describe the feeling.

Her previously bleak life, which was covered in thick, dark clouds, finally had a small gap. A bright, golden light shone through and illuminated her.

What Yan Sui didn’t know was that after she fell asleep, Jian Liyun was still hooking her pinky finger, staring at her sleeping face in the dim room—

This state continued for an hour.

Jian Liyun didn’t speak, so the system naturally didn’t know what she was thinking.

…

“Sui Sui.”

Yan Sui was woken up by a gentle female voice.

“Mmm,” Yan Sui slowly opened her eyes. She had slept very soundly. “What time is it?”

“Five o’clock. I’ve finished cooking the noodles. Come down and eat. Contact the driver. We’ll head back after you’ve eaten.”

Yan Sui rubbed her eyes. “Okay.”

Jian Liyun went downstairs again. Yan Sui picked up the phone on the nightstand and contacted the driver, asking him to come pick them up a little earlier.

“By the way, System,” Yan Sui asked in her mind. “Did she do anything extreme during this time?”

Yan Sui had figured it out. She wouldn’t object to Jian Liyun loving and fawning over the male lead anymore, but her bottom line was that she wouldn’t allow Jian Liyun to harm herself for him.

Before the system could answer, Yan Sui rubbed her temples again. “I must have been really out of it… Jian Liyun probably wasn’t with me just now, so you couldn’t have detected anything.”

The system wanted to say that Jian Liyun had actually stayed in Yan Sui’s bedroom for an hour.

Not only did she stay for an hour, but she also stared at Yan Sui with a predatory look for an hour.

The system comforted itself that the supporting female lead was straight and decided to pretend nothing had happened.

From Yan Sui’s perspective, nothing had indeed happened.

So the system didn’t speak.

When Yan Sui went downstairs, the aroma of food wafted over before she even reached the dining room.

When Yan Sui arrived at the dining room, Jian Liyun seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She pulled out a chair for Yan Sui. “Hurry and eat.”

Yan Sui hummed and sat down. “I contacted the driver. He’ll be here at 6:30 to pick us up. We’ll be back a little late today. You should rest well tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I’ll take you for a check-up.”

Yan Sui picked up a piece of noodle with her chopsticks, looked at the steaming noodles, and added, “Remember to fast in the morning. The check-up will take a whole day, and in the afternoon, we’ll do a psychological evaluation with a psychologist.”

She was about to explain why she wanted to take Jian Liyun to see a psychologist, but the other person agreed so readily. “Okay.”

Yan Sui hadn’t expected the other person to be so accepting. She gave an awkward hum and took a bite of her noodles.

Jian Liyun looked up at her. “But I have one condition.”

“Go ahead.”

Jian Liyun’s voice was emotionless. “The day after tomorrow, you also have to do a physical check-up with me in the morning.” She thought it through carefully. “If the company doesn’t reimburse you, I will.”

Although Yan Sui looked lively, her two episodes were clearly not right. Jian Liyun was a little worried.

Yan Sui immediately noticed the other person’s intention, but a physical check-up wouldn’t reveal anything—

A sickness of the heart is hard to cure.

Even so, she smiled and agreed. “Okay. I’ll pay for it myself. It’s about time for my annual check-up anyway.”

Jian Liyun seemed to be dazzled by the smile. She immediately lowered her head and ate her noodles in silence.

…

The two finished their noodles, washed the dishes, and packed their luggage. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the driver to arrive.

In the not-so-large living room, the two of them sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Yan Sui took the initiative to start a conversation, but her tone was a little business-like.

“Do you still want to participate in that lifestyle variety show from before?”

Jian Liyun didn’t hesitate. “No.”

Is it because the male lead is unlikely to participate, so Jian Liyun isn’t interested anymore?

Yan Sui thought to herself, and Jian Liyun seemed to have read her mind and spoke again. “I’ve thought about it. I think you’re right. My main job is being an actress, so I should focus on acting. I don’t necessarily have to participate in these variety shows.”

The happy expression Jian Liyun had expected didn’t appear on Yan Sui’s face. She only nodded slightly. “Okay.”

Jian Liyun’s heart was pounding. Why does Yan Sui still seem unhappy?

I have to figure something out.

“Sui Sui, I won’t get involved in He Chenyu’s matters anymore.”

Jian Liyun said tentatively. Yan Sui’s expression still didn’t change.

She scrolled through her phone. “That’s fine. There’s no clause in your management contract with the company that prohibits dating.”

Yan Sui hesitated, but finally said, “I won’t interfere with your personal romantic life, but as an artist, I hope you can maintain a healthy body and mind, and star in good films and TV shows. That’s enough.”

Jian Liyun was silent for a few seconds.

Yan Sui thought the other person felt she was being too controlling again, so she softened her tone. “As for scripts, I’ll filter out the ones that I think are good and have high market recognition for you, but you also have the right to choose your own scripts…”

“I know,” Jian Liyun interrupted Yan Sui. “I’ll do it.”

Even if I can’t do it, I can pretend to do it.

After all, actors are good at acting, and also good at lying, right?

Buzz.

Yan Sui’s phone vibrated. She looked at the screen. “The driver is here. Let’s go.”

Perhaps because she had slept for too long during the day, Yan Sui wasn’t sleepy at all in the car.

She knew the car ride would be at least five hours, so she turned her head and stared blankly at the scenery flashing past the window.

Buzz.

Her phone vibrated again. Yan Sui unlocked the screen and found that it was a message from her direct superior.

It said there was a small gathering of people in the industry tomorrow, and her superior would be attending and bringing a few available managers with her.

Her superior asked if Yan Sui was free. Yan Sui really wanted to refuse—

She could handle a crowded social setting like this, but it would be very tiring, and she didn’t like it.

But now, she couldn’t afford to live as she pleased.

So Yan Sui replied almost instantly, “Director Kong, I’m free.”

Jian Liyun also spoke at the same time. “Tomorrow, do you want to come to my place for dinner? I’ll cook for you.”

Yan Sui shook the phone in her hand. “The company has something planned for tomorrow. I have to attend a social event. I’m sorry.”

Jian Liyun frowned. “A social event? Are you meeting with a director? I’ll go with you then.”

It was called a social event, but Jian Liyun knew that these kinds of gatherings wouldn’t end until people were stumbling drunk.

Yan Sui shook her head. “No, I don’t know what it is specifically. Director Kong just notified me. You should rest well at home tomorrow. I’ll see you the day after tomorrow.”

Jian Liyun’s frown deepened, but she finally sighed and compromised. “Okay. If anything feels off, contact me anytime.”

Yan Sui smiled. “I’m your manager. This is my job. You just need to act well.”

Jian Liyun didn’t reply. She leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes as if she were sleeping.

Time passed by, second by second. Yan Sui was bored, staring at the scenery outside the window, when she suddenly heard Jian Liyun’s voice again.

“After your social event tomorrow, just come directly to my place.”

Before Yan Sui could speak, Jian Liyun added, “It will be more convenient for us to go for our check-ups together the day after tomorrow.”

Yan Sui gripped her clothes. “No, I’ll probably finish late. I’m afraid I’ll disturb you.”

In the original novel, Jian Liyun’s favorite thing to do was to be alone in a quiet place. She felt she shouldn’t continue to do things that would annoy her.

“You won’t be a bother,” Jian Liyun’s voice was gentle. “Is that okay?”

Yan Sui hesitated for a moment. “It’s okay… wait, I might be drinking at the social event tomorrow. I don’t know if that will affect the check-up the day after tomorrow.”

Jian Liyun replied, “Then we’ll postpone the check-up?”

Postponing the supporting female lead’s check-up was not an option. So Yan Sui shook her head. “No need. I’ll go for the check-up with you the day after tomorrow. I’ll decide then whether or not I’ll also get a check-up.”

Jian Liyun hummed. “Then remember to come home tomorrow night.”

The way Jian Liyun said that… sounded a little strange.

Yan Sui didn’t think much of it. She simply hummed in acknowledgment and continued to look out the car window.

In the original novel, when Jian Liyun was facing criticism later on, there was a director who actually offered her a helping hand.

She was a young female director. Although she was still new, she was extremely talented.

She had originally wanted to invite Jian Liyun to be the female lead in her sci-fi film. However, Jian Liyun’s psychological state was so bad at the time that she was barely hanging on, so she naturally rejected the female director’s kind offer.

The box office for that sci-fi film later became the highest-grossing film in the entire novel. The director, screenwriter, and actors all won countless awards.

On a side note, because Jian Liyun refused to act, the script was temporarily changed, and the protagonist went from a female character to a male character. The person who played that role was, of course, the male lead, He Chenyu.

Now, this female director had originally wanted to make a TV show with an infinite-flow theme in the early stages, but she had no investors, so the idea was put on hold.

Yan Sui felt that this was a good opportunity.

Even if the male lead’s luck was too strong, she still had a chance to get this infinite-flow script for Jian Liyun in the early stages.

It seemed that at tomorrow’s social event, she would have to ask Director Kong to set up another gathering with some investors.

And before setting it up, she would also have to find that female director and talk to her.

Yan Sui was completely lost in her thoughts, completely unaware that the eyes of the person next to her were becoming increasingly dark and unreadable.

“Sui Sui,” Jian Liyun said softly. “Don’t drink too much tomorrow. Call me when the dinner is over. I’ll come pick you up.”
