After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: So the Female Lead has Feelings for the Supporting Female Lead?

◎Hehe, take a guess?◎

“Host, the fact that you’re still alive is already a great accomplishment.”

The system’s non-answer made Yan Sui even more panicked. She pressed on in her mind, “What exactly happened last night? It’s the first time I’ve ever drunk so much that I blacked out…”

“Host, let’s talk after you’re completely sober. A lot really happened last night.”

Yan Sui’s heart was pounding. Seeing her expression, Jian Liyun thought she was nervous.

“You drank so much yesterday that your head must still be hurting. Why don’t you get some more sleep?”

Yan Sui asked, “What about you?”

Jian Liyun buttoned a loose button on Yan Sui’s pajamas. “I’m going for my check-up. I might be back a little late. What do you want to eat for dinner?”

Yan Sui grabbed the other person’s arm. “I’m going with you.”

Jian Liyun sighed helplessly. “You drank so much last night, so it’s not good for you to have a bl00d test on an empty stomach this morning. It will affect the results.”

Yan Sui still didn’t let go. “I know. I’ll just go with you.”

Jian Liyun sighed. “I’m not a child. I can go for a check-up by myself. Besides, I made an appointment at a private check-up center for you. The service there will be excellent.”

Yan Sui still didn’t agree. Jian Liyun couldn’t change her mind, so she made Yan Sui eat breakfast, and the two of them left together.

The driver was at the parking lot on time. As soon as Yan Sui sat in the car, she saw several workers getting out of a van. All of them were carrying renovation tools.

She remarked, “Liyun, your apartment complex seems quite popular. I wonder who bought a new place here now.”

Jian Liyun hummed. “It’ll take about half an hour to get to the check-up center. You should get some sleep first.”

Yan Sui didn’t refuse. She also wanted to use this time to talk to the system about yesterday’s events.

“System.”

As soon as Yan Sui called out in her mind, the system responded.

“I’m here, Host.”

Yan Sui was in a heavy mood. “Tell me, what happened last night? Did Lu Shutian get any information out of me?”

“No. Host, you were basically tight-lipped with the female lead. The one time you almost slipped up, you shut up after I reminded you. But… you made the female lead angry.”

The corner of Yan Sui’s mouth twitched. “I wasn’t a person who easily made people angry before, honestly.”

Then, the system recounted what happened last night to Yan Sui in detail.

Yan Sui had been pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, but after hearing the end of the story, she couldn’t sit still.

“So Lu Shutian was the one who brought me back. I have no memory of it at all,” she sighed in her mind. “I’m so stupid. I should have given her my own address at that time. Now Liyun’s address has also been exposed to the female… No, that’s not right!”

Yan Sui opened her eyes. She pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but her mind was in turmoil.

“System, I gave her Liyun’s address, but Lu Shutian knew right away that it wasn’t my address. There are only two possibilities.”

“First, she knows my address but not Jian Liyun’s, so she figured out that the address I gave wasn’t mine. Second, she doesn’t know my address, but she knows Jian Liyun’s. So after I gave her Jian Liyun’s address, she realized it.”

The more Yan Sui thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

“But system, look, I didn’t give her the specific unit number before, only the name of the complex. But later, when we got to the complex, she led me directly to Jian Liyun’s apartment. This means she knows Jian Liyun’s exact address.”

“So it’s the second possibility.”

Yan Sui also recalled the last time she and Jian Liyun went to the secluded countryside, Lu Shutian also found them there.

In addition to that, Lu Shutian has also been continuously inviting Jian Liyun to join a variety show…

Yan Sui’s mood became heavy. “This world might not be a romance novel world anymore.”

The system agreed repeatedly. “Yes, Host. Both the female lead and the supporting female lead are acting very strangely.”

Last night, when the female lead brought its host back, the confrontation between the female lead and the supporting female lead made it feel like they were about to start fighting at any second.

The cold but love-struck supporting female lead, the sweet but secretly dark female lead, the disappeared male lead, and its host who started with a terrible situation.

The system felt that the future was bleak, but it didn’t want to cause Yan Sui any mental burden, so it decided to comfort her. “But it’s okay, Host. As long as you protect the supporting female lead…”

“So,” Yan Sui concluded. “The female lead, Lu Shutian, is acting strangely. Even though you haven’t detected it, there’s a high probability that she’s awakened or reborn, or something else has happened to her. And now, she also wants to break away from the original plot, because—”

Yan Sui felt like she was a genius detective.

“It’s very possible that the female lead doesn’t like the male lead anymore. The person she truly cares about is the supporting female lead.”

“?”

The system let out a buzzing sound—

It had short-circuited.

The more Yan Sui thought about it, the more sense it made. She spoke confidently. “That’s why the female lead has been constantly showing favor to the supporting female lead, inviting her to a variety show, and there’s no male lead in the show either.”

“Host, what if…?”

Yan Sui was completely immersed in her own thoughts. “What?”

“What if the people the supporting female lead and the female lead care about are both you, not each other?”

Yan Sui scoffed in her mind. “System, I didn’t know you were a comedian. The reason Lu Shutian has been interacting with me so much is just to create better career opportunities for Jian Liyun, not to interact with me personally.”

Otherwise, Lu Shutian wouldn’t have to keep using the pretense of inviting Jian Liyun to a variety show to meet with Yan Sui.

The system fell completely silent.

Yan Sui sighed. “It’s just that Jian Liyun loves the male lead so much that no one else would be able to catch her eye.”

“Host, last night the supporting female lead told you that she doesn’t like the male lead, but you were drunk and didn’t hear her clearly.”

Yan Sui didn’t believe it at all.

Jian Liyun had always been a master at lying to her about the male lead’s matters.

“Sui Sui,” the car had also arrived at its destination. Jian Liyun reminded her, “We’re here.”

Yan Sui hummed, her mind still racing.

If the female lead had no feelings for the male lead and had feelings for the supporting female lead, then she wouldn’t have to tell Jian Liyun to avoid Lu Shutian.

To change Jian Liyun’s ultimate fate of suicide, in addition to changing certain plot points, she also needed to go with the flow at other times.

The two of them walked into the check-up center. Yan Sui tested the waters. “Actually, last night, Miss Lu wanted to invite you to a variety show.”

Jian Liyun paused. She slightly tilted her head to look at Yan Sui. “You want me to go?”

To be fair, given the female lead’s career and overall luck, there was no harm in participating in anything she was involved in. Since the male lead wouldn’t be appearing on this show, it was a good opportunity for Jian Liyun.

She could easily record the show in a studio and also increase her popularity among the general public.

Yan Sui hesitated before nodding. “I think… you could give it a try?”

Yan Sui gave a general overview of the all-female dating show’s content and format.

Jian Liyun’s expression didn’t change. She lowered her head slightly, listening intently to Yan Sui’s words.

“…That’s pretty much it. But if you’re against participating in a show about same-s3x dating, I can reject them.”

Jian Liyun seemed to want to say something but held back.

Yan Sui reassured her. “Actually, you could just give it a try. You could think of it as making some friends in the industry. I think Miss Lu is quite nice. She’s cute and has a good personality.”

“Lu Shutian has a good personality?”

Jian Liyun scoffed. “Is that what you think?”

Yan Sui sensed the other person’s resistance. She touched her nose. “Yeah, Miss Lu is a good person. She’s the one who’s been pushing for this variety show.”

Jian Liyun suddenly said, “Even though she forced you to drink until you were dead drunk, you still think she’s a good person?”

Yan Sui lowered her head, feeling a little regretful. “Okay, Liyun. If you don’t want to go, I’ll talk to Director Kong about it.”

Jian Liyun quickly caught the main point. “Director Kong?”

Yan Sui nodded. “Yeah. When Miss Lu wanted to invite you, Director Kong immediately agreed without me even saying anything.”

Not far away, a staff member in a white uniform was walking towards them.

Jian Liyun wanted to take off the hair tie on her wrist. “Objectively speaking, this variety show shouldn’t be too bad. I can participate. But… huh? Where’s my hair tie?”

Yan Sui took off the black hair tie that was on her own hair. “You can use mine for now?”

“It’s not ‘for now’ at all,” Jian Liyun said with a smile as she took it. Realizing she was smiling too happily, she quickly hid her smile. “You go to the lounge first. I’ll come find you when I’m done with the morning check-ups.”

As Yan Sui walked towards the lounge, she asked the system, “Is that hair tie I gave her some kind of luxury brand hair tie in this world? Why did she get so happy?”

“Hehe, take a guess?”
