After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: I’ll Get Everything I Want

◎Including you◎

“Huh?” Yan Sui didn’t quite understand what the other person meant. “No, I don’t mean to restrict your actions, it’s just…”

“It’s okay.”

Jian Liyun gently interrupted, her lips not turned up, but the gentle smile in her eyes was about to overflow. “If it’s you, Suisui, you can know everything about me, and you can control me—”

“I’ll listen to whatever you say, Suisui.”

Hiss—

Yan Sui gasped, scratching her face in a state of confusion.

Since when was Jian Liyun so obedient to her?

However, she had more urgent matters to attend to at the moment, so Yan Sui stood up. “I just remembered I have some work to follow up on with Director Kong. I’ll be busy for a bit. You should rest well. We’ll go to Miss Lu’s house for lunch later.”

Jian Liyun considerately pointed in one direction. “The study is this way. If you need to use it, the computer inside doesn’t have a password.”

“Okay.” Yan Sui walked into the study and closed the door.

She didn’t turn on the computer. Instead, she took out her phone. She looked serious, but the screen was actually black.

“System.”

“Host.”

Two voices sounded in Yan Sui’s mind at the same time. Yan Sui paused. “You go first, system.”

“Host, the male lead He Chenyu’s actions don’t seem to be helping Jian Liyun. They seem more like…”

Yan Sui finished the thought for it. “Extracting her luck points.”

Yan Sui frowned. She was truly grateful that Lily from her original world had told her so many stories about transmigration systems.

“If He Chenyu just wanted to help Jian Liyun, there would be no need for him to request that Jian Liyun become an actress. Because, given Jian Liyun’s situation at the time, it was basically impossible to get any returns from her.”

“Unless He Chenyu knew that Jian Liyun would become an excellent actress in the future.”

Yan Sui’s expression was calm. “And Jian Liyun did indeed become a good actress and provided a lot of help to He Chenyu.”

In the original novel, Jian Liyun’s career was originally on the rise, but it quickly took a turn for the worse after she started getting entangled with the male lead.

On the surface, Jian Liyun was just troubled by love, but from the perspective Jian Liyun provided today, it became very intriguing.

“Host, your theory is very sound. But according to you, the female lead and the male lead are either awakened or reincarnated, but I’ve checked with my superiors, and there’s nothing wrong with either of them.”

Yan Sui lowered her eyes. “No.”

“Maybe it’s not that there’s nothing wrong with them, but that your access level isn’t high enough.”

The system’s electronic voice was filled with dejection. “Host, I’m sorry. I’m so useless.”

Yan Sui sighed. “It’s not your fault. This isn’t the time to be discouraged. We still need to figure out one last thing.”

[I don’t have a head, host. What is it?]

“The female lead Lu Shutian’s true attitude toward the male lead He Chenyu.”

Yan Sui thought for a moment. “Can the male lead’s goal be achieved by extracting the supporting female lead’s luck points? Is his ultimate goal to be with the female lead, or something else? And what is the female lead thinking?”

“If the female lead is also hostile toward the male lead, we can consider forming an alliance with her. If the female lead dislikes both the male lead and the supporting female lead, then we’ll have to fight alone.”

However, based on Lu Shutian’s attitude of wanting to kill both the supporting female lead and the male lead yesterday, it seemed she wanted to get revenge on everyone equally.

“Host,” the system’s voice was weak, “you just told the supporting female lead that it was okay if she liked the male lead.”

Yan Sui waved her hand. “Hey, I was just placating her. Last time when I heard that He Chenyu might not be able to act, I tried to convince her, and wasn’t she very angry? So on the surface, I have to go along with what she thinks. I’ll make her see the male lead’s true colors. I don’t believe she’ll still like him after she knows the truth.”

Besides, Jian Liyun had said multiple times that she didn’t like He Chenyu.

“I see.”

Yan Sui sighed. “Now, I just hope Lu Shutian doesn’t say anything shocking during lunch.”

If Jian Liyun is also an awakened or reincarnated person, then I’ll just give up on this mission.

After their conversation, Yan Sui finally dialed Director Kong’s number.

Pretending to have a serious discussion with Director Kong about the promotional campaign for Jian Liyun’s upcoming movie for about half an hour, Yan Sui finally hung up the phone.

Yan Sui pushed open the study door and found Jian Liyun in the living room watching TV with the sound off.

Yan Sui walked over. “Why is there no sound?”

“I didn’t want to disturb your work,” Jian Liyun said with a smile.

Yan Sui shook her head. “It’s fine. The soundproofing on the study door is pretty good. Speaking of which… I have to go out after lunch.”

Jian Liyun sat up straight. “Is there something going on at the company? Do you need my help?”

“No,” Yan Sui’s expression was a little embarrassed, but she had to say it. “It’s just… can I temporarily stay at your place for a while?”

Jian Liyun suppressed the smile on her lips. “Of course.”

Yan Sui cleared her throat. “I’m sorry to bother you, but with Miss Lu living across the hall, I’m a little worried. I’m glad you agree. I’ll go back to my place later and bring some of my clothes and toiletries. If you don’t have extra sheets, I’ll go buy some from the supermarket…”

“You don’t need to buy sheets. You can just sleep in the same bed as me,” Jian Liyun interrupted.

“Huh? Sleep together again?”

Yan Sui felt that something was wrong. “But now…”

It seems like there’s no reason for them to have to sleep together anymore.

Yan Sui thought for a moment and pointed to another closed door. “Is that room your guest room? Maybe I can…”

“No.” Jian Liyun denied it very quickly.

Her tone held a hint of annoyance. “Is it so difficult to sleep with me?”

Yan Sui guiltily looked away.

Not only is it not difficult, but I actually slept quite soundly.

Yan Sui tentatively asked, “Then we’ll… sleep together tonight?”

Only then did Jian Liyun deign to nod in agreement.

The two of them sat on the sofa, with Yan Sui staring at the silent TV, organizing her words.

“Liyun, during lunch, try to talk less. I’ll answer whatever she asks.”

Jian Liyun didn’t say a word.

Yan Sui couldn’t hold back. She grabbed Jian Liyun’s arm with both hands. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you hear me?”

Jian Liyun finally spoke. She sighed. “You’re so afraid of her. If anyone should be the one to talk, it should be me.”

“She did scare me a little yesterday, but I’m fine now.” Yan Sui shook Jian Liyun’s arm back and forth. “Just talk a little less later, okay?”

“The way you’re talking doesn’t sound like you’re asking for a favor,” Jian Liyun said calmly while continuing to watch TV.

Before Yan Sui could continue, she glanced at her and said softly, “It sounds like you’re trying to act cute.”

Yan Sui’s ears quickly turned red. “I’m not…”

Jian Liyun picked up the remote control and turned on the sound.

The laughter of the hosts and guests came from the TV, and Jian Liyun’s voice mixed in with it.

“But it works for me.”

…

At noon.

As Yan Sui opened the front door, she saw Lu Shutian standing outside, about to knock.

“Jiejie, I was just about to look for you. I’ve finished making lunch. Hurry, come on in.”

Lu Shutian was still wearing an apron with a dog pattern on it, and it was clear she was very excited.

But there was a small flaw on her innocent and sweet face.

Yan Sui hesitated for a moment. “Miss Lu, you have a little flour on the tip of your nose.”

Lu Shutian quickly reached up to wipe her nose, but she missed the spot with the flour.

Yan Sui reached out and wiped the flour off.

Lu Shutian looked a little embarrassed. “Thank you, Jiejie.”

Standing behind Yan Sui, Jian Liyun lowered her eyes and said nothing.

What is this person acting for?

Never mind. Suisui told her to talk less, so she’ll talk less.

The three of them entered Lu Shutian’s home. Looking at the meal on the dining table, which was even more extravagant than the day before, Yan Sui’s understanding of Lu Shutian was once again refreshed.

If she had a tail, Lu Shutian’s tail would definitely be wagging triumphantly in the air right now.

“Jiejie, Senior Jian, please sit. These are just some simple home-cooked dishes. I hope you don’t mind.”

Yan Sui touched her nose.

She remembered her first meeting with Lu Shutian, where she told her that she and Jian Liyun were eating a simple meal—

Two dishes and a soup. That was a truly simple meal.

Lu Shutian hurried to the kitchen to take off her apron, and the three of them finally sat down.

Lu Shutian pursed her lips and gave a shy smile. “My cooking skills are just average. You two are making fun of me.”

Yan Sui looked at the table full of dishes that looked and smelled delicious. …

She smiled. “Miss Lu, you’re kidding. Your cooking looks better than the food at any restaurant.”

Lu Shutian put a piece of spare rib on Yan Sui’s plate. “Jiejie, why are you still so formal with me?”

Although the other person said it with a smile, Yan Sui instantly got goosebumps.

So Yan Sui almost blurted out her answer. “Tiantian, thank you for giving me some food.”

The smile on Lu Shutian’s face became a little more genuine. “Don’t be so formal with me.”

The interaction between the two was very natural, but a certain person’s expression was getting worse and worse.

Jian Liyun ate quietly, her eyes focused only on the rice.

After a “lively” discussion about how to make these dishes taste good, Lu Shutian raised her glass. “Jiejie, Senior Jian, let’s have a toast. I have some good news to tell you.”

Yan Sui’s eyebrows twitched, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

The three glasses clinked, making a crisp but not jarring sound.

Yan Sui took a sip of the slightly tart fresh juice. “What is it, Miss Lu… Tiantian?”

Yan Sui didn’t understand. It was just a name, yet it felt so natural to call Jian Liyun “Liyun,” but it was so difficult to call this woman “Tiantian.”

Fortunately, Lu Shutian didn’t mind. She put down her glass and said with a smile, “Jin Lan and her ex-girlfriend’s problem, I’ve already solved it. They will both come to participate in the show.”

Jian Liyun’s movements froze. She didn’t say a word.

Instead, Yan Sui was very surprised. “Really?”

Lu Shutian proudly lifted her chin. “Of course.”

Buzz, buzz.

Jian Liyun’s phone started vibrating. She took out her phone. “Excuse me, I need to take a call.”

Since the apartments had the same layout, even though this was Lu Shutian’s home, Jian Liyun was familiar with it and went to the balcony. She closed the floor-to-ceiling window, and the glass blocked out her voice.

No matter what, if Jin Lan agreed to cooperate with Jian Liyun because she could participate in the variety show, it would be a huge help to Jian Liyun’s career.

So Yan Sui took the initiative to raise her glass. “Thank you very much.”

Lu Shutian blinked. She grabbed Yan Sui’s wrist, forcing her to put down the glass. “I didn’t do this to get a thank you from you, Jiejie.”

Yan Sui took a deep breath, trying hard not to let her body reject the other person’s touch.

“Then what do you want, Tiantian? As long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely agree.”

Lu Shutian rubbed Yan Sui’s wrist, her flexible, cold fingers like a venomous snake preparing to coil around its prey.

She let go of her hand. “I don’t want anything.”

I just want you to see Jian Liyun’s true colors.

I want you to willingly choose me.

Yan Sui said awkwardly, “Anyway, I owe you this favor. If you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely help.”

Lu Shutian held out her pinky finger. “We have to pinky promise.”

Yan Sui seriously completed what only a childish kid would do with Lu Shutian:

“Pinky swear, cross my heart and hope to die, never change, a liar’s a puppy.”

There was no wind in the room, but after the two of them finished speaking, Yan Sui’s hair was blown.

Along with it came a faint scent of lychee that was almost imperceptible.

Yan Sui retracted her hand and pressed hard on her chest with her left hand.

The last time she had been in contact with Lu Shutian, this lychee scent had also appeared, but at that time, Yan Sui was in a tense standoff with her and didn’t notice the scent at all.

This time, Yan Sui distinctly smelled it.

But the scent was so faint and disappeared so quickly that Yan Sui even wondered if it was her imagination.

The scent awakened a deep memory in her heart, and she involuntarily recalled the day of her eighteenth birthday.

Lu Shutian seemed more nervous than Yan Sui. “Jiejie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”

Yan Sui quickly stopped her. “I’m fine. Did you smell anything just now?”

Lu Shutian observed her face and said with a rare moment of hesitation, “…No. If I had to say something, are you talking about the smell of the food?”

It seems that Lu Shutian couldn’t smell the lychee scent.

Yan Sui’s mind was in turmoil. She looked away and changed the subject. “Then I must have smelled it wrong. By the way, how did you get Jin Lan’s ex-girlfriend to agree to participate in the show?”

Lu Shutian laughed. “That’s very simple. All I had to do was find out why her ex-girlfriend broke up with Jin Lan and tell that person how to solve the problem.”

“So what was the reason?”

On the surface, Yan Sui was following Lu Shutian’s words, but she was secretly calling the system in her mind.

“System, I remember you said that you smelled a foul odor on the male lead, He Chenyu. I just smelled a scent of lychee. Did you smell it? Is that scent from her?”

“Host, I… no…”

The system’s voice became garbled halfway through, and the electronic sound was harsh and intermittent. Yan Sui couldn’t understand what it was saying at all.

Meanwhile, Lu Shutian stood up and came up behind Yan Sui.

She gently squeezed her shoulders and leaned in close to her ear.

“Jiejie, the reason doesn’t matter. What matters is that I can solve your problem.”

Yan Sui wanted to shrink her shoulders, but Lu Shutian’s hands held her firmly, making her unable to move.

This is bad. The female lead is going crazy again.

Yan Sui thought to herself. Just as she was thinking about how to get Jian Liyun to leave, she saw Jian Liyun on the balcony finish her call and turn to face them.

Lu Shutian and Yan Sui’s posture was a little too intimate at the moment. Noticing Jian Liyun’s gaze, she gave her a challenging smile, then wrapped her arm around Yan Sui’s waist, pulling her up, and then took off the gray coat Yan Sui was wearing.

Jian Liyun opened the floor-to-ceiling window, and her voice finally came through. “Suisui.”

Yan Sui’s expression was still composed. “Did you finish your call?”

Lu Shutian interrupted their conversation. “Jiejie, this coat is too big for you. I have a cashmere trench coat that’s perfect for you. Come to my room to change. Senior Jian, you go ahead and eat.”

A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Yan Sui glanced at Jian Liyun, gesturing for her not to worry, and then followed Lu Shutian into the walk-in closet.

The atmosphere in the walk-in closet was a little too quiet.

Yan Sui could only make small talk. “Thank you very much for what you did for Jin Lan.”

“Jiejie,” Lu Shutian opened the closet, took out an off-white coat, and said, “Let’s stop acting now. I’m pretty tired, too.”

Yan Sui’s heart skipped a beat.

Lu Shutian took the coat and carefully draped it over Yan Sui’s shoulders. Her tone was unmistakably sinister.

“In this world, I can solve any problem.”

Yan Sui pursed her lips. “You…”

As if touching a treasure, Lu Shutian gently brushed Yan Sui’s soft cheek with the back of her finger.

She smiled sweetly. “Jiejie, am I wrong? I’m the protagonist in this world. A protagonist can do anything.”

Yan Sui was too shocked to speak.

Although she knew Lu Shutian probably knew the truth about this world, hearing her say it so directly still shocked Yan Sui.

She finally found her voice. “You’re saying something like this… aren’t you afraid of being punished?”

Lu Shutian raised an eyebrow. “Jiejie, are you feeling bad for me? I’m so touched.”

…That’s not it at all.

Yan Sui thought to herself, but didn’t say anything out loud.

Seeing that she didn’t get a response, Lu Shutian suddenly started unbuttoning her chest.

Yan Sui was so scared that she took a big step back, only to hit the cold wall behind her.

Lu Shutian pressed on. “Jiejie, don’t be afraid of me. I’ll never hurt you.”

She finally unbuttoned a few buttons on her chest, and Yan Sui’s pupils constricted.

On Lu Shutian’s chest…

There was an ugly and grotesque scar.

“Protagonists can also be punished, Jiejie.”

Yan Sui’s feelings were complicated. She didn’t know why she looked away. “…Does it hurt?”

Lu Shutian slowly buttoned up her clothes. “Jiejie, yes, it hurts, but I’m not afraid of pain.”

What I’m more afraid of is not having the right to choose.

“You…” Yan Sui really didn’t know what to say. She tried to call the system in her mind, but there was no response.

“Jiejie, you don’t have to pity me because of this,” Lu Shutian said with a lazy smile. She picked up a strand of Yan Sui’s black hair. “I’m the protagonist of this world. I’ll get everything I want—”

“Including you.”
