After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: I Don’t Want the World to Revolve Around Me

◎I just want you◎

Yan Sui really wanted to point to her own nose and ask with complete sincerity.

“Huh? Me?”

Yan Sui didn’t understand why the other person was so obsessed with her. Before she came to this world, she should have had no connection to Lu Shutian.

Yan Sui also didn’t think she had any special qualities that would attract Lu Shutian. Aside from Go, she wasn’t good at anything.

But looking at Lu Shutian’s face, which was twisted with a fanatical, almost grotesque obsession, Yan Sui swallowed all her questions.

She could only say stiffly, “There’s nothing special about me. I’m just here to complete a mission.”

Yan Sui said this tentatively and found that she was not punished.

It seemed that at least when facing Lu Shutian, they could discuss the truth of this world.

Yan Sui tried to call the system again in her mind, but there was still no response.

Lu Shutian’s right hand caressed her neck. Through the delicate, warm skin, Lu Shutian could feel how hot the bl00d underneath was.

“Then your mission is to save Jian Liyun?”

In this novel, the female lead not only awakened but also realized that Yan Sui was a transmigrator. Even more, the female lead also guessed Yan Sui’s mission.

To describe the current situation as a disaster would be an understatement.

Yan Sui couldn’t find a better lie, so she could only nod.

“Hah,” Lu Shutian laughed out loud. “They really are liars.”

Who are “they”? Yan Sui wanted to ask but didn’t dare.

Yan Sui’s eyes were full of unease. Lu Shutian looked at her and sighed. She let go and then hugged Yan Sui, burying her head in the crook of her neck.

“Jiejie,” Lu Shutian’s voice was a little muffled. “If you want to save Jian Liyun, then go save her. Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you. Don’t be afraid of me, and don’t abandon me.”

Is Lu Shutian… crying?

Yan Sui wasn’t afraid that Lu Shutian would attack her again, but she was truly afraid of this person’s tears.

She didn’t seem to have the ability to properly hold someone in their vulnerability and sadness.

Before Yan Sui could react, her hand, as if it had a mind of its own, began to gently pat Lu Shutian’s back.

“…Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Yan Sui’s comfort was dry and weak, but she didn’t know what to do.

What made her even more confused and panicked was that she found her heart was also aching.

It was a kind of spiritual resonance that she couldn’t control.

Lu Shutian was sad. Lu Shutian’s heart was in pain. When the two of them were close, Yan Sui’s heart also began to ache involuntarily.

This isn’t right.

And the more Yan Sui comforted her, the more Lu Shutian’s tears wouldn’t stop.

The warm, clear liquid soaked her expensive cashmere coat. Lu Shutian’s tone was incredibly aggrieved. “Jiejie, you’re mine. You were supposed to be mine…”

Yan Sui knew she shouldn’t be nosy, and she knew what she should and shouldn’t do.

But emotions were something she couldn’t control.

So she asked, “Why do you think that?”

She wanted to understand what Lu Shutian was thinking.

Lu Shutian paused, didn’t say anything, and just continued to sob softly.

To be honest, she didn’t know why she was so unwilling.

Lu Shutian knew that someone would come to save this world. As the protagonist of this world, she naturally assumed that person was coming to save her.

But the person came and chose someone else.

It was only natural for Lu Shutian to feel unwilling and angry, but even she didn’t know why she was so obsessed with Yan Sui.

It was as if they were meant to be together.

Seeing that Lu Shutian wasn’t explaining, Yan Sui softened her voice. “Since you’ve awakened, you should know that you’re the female protagonist of this world. You’ll live a very happy life. As for me…”

It doesn’t matter who I’m here to save.

“When a person is the protagonist of the world,” Lu Shutian interrupted, “the whole world revolves around her. She may not be the happiest person—”

“But she will definitely be the loneliest.”

“Jiejie, I don’t want the world to revolve around me. I just want you.”

In a trance, Yan Sui smelled the sweet scent of lychee again.

“You…”

Before Yan Sui could finish her sentence, Lu Shutian let go of the hug. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, making her look incredibly pitiful.

“The collaboration between Jian Liyun and Jin Lan will go smoothly,” Lu Shutian looked at Yan Sui and said very slowly. “Jiejie, let’s take our time.”

A knock on the door sounded from outside. It was Jian Liyun.

Lu Shutian was about to open the door when she heard Yan Sui’s question.

“Where did that scar on your chest come from?”

Lu Shutian said it was a punishment, but what did she do to be punished?

Lu Shutian’s body froze, and she didn’t turn back. “To break what they call ‘destiny.'”

Yan Sui frowned, about to ask for a clearer explanation, but Lu Shutian opened the door on her own.

Her eyes met Jian Liyun’s at the door, and Jian Liyun naturally noticed the tear stains on Lu Shutian’s face immediately.

Jian Liyun’s heart tightened, and she quickly looked at Yan Sui behind Lu Shutian.

Fortunately, Yan Sui looked no different from usual.

Lu Shutian even took the initiative to step aside and let Yan Sui walk past. “Go ahead, Jiejie.”

It’s okay if you don’t want me now. I want you to walk toward me willingly in the future.

Jian Liyun saw a fleeting look of hesitation on Yan Sui’s face.

An alarm went off inside her. Jian Liyun pretended to be calm. “Suisui, I have something to do. I have to go now. You two eat first.”

Yan Sui came to her senses. “What’s wrong?”

“My medical report is ready. I have to go and pick it up and listen to the doctor’s advice.”

Yan Sui immediately walked forward. “I’ll go with you.”

She then looked at Lu Shutian. “You…”

Lu Shutian smiled. “Jiejie, Senior Jian, then I’ll see you on the show. After today, I’ll also be working out of town for a while.”

The three of them said their goodbyes politely and harmoniously.

…

Back at Jian Liyun’s apartment, Yan Sui was still looking preoccupied.

Jian Liyun looked at her expression and said softly, “What did you two talk about in the walk-in closet?”

Yan Sui’s lips parted slightly, but she couldn’t say a word.

She truly couldn’t tell Jian Liyun a single thing about her conversation with Lu Shutian.

So she could only shake her head. “It wasn’t anything important.”

Jian Liyun lowered her eyes and didn’t press for more information. She looked at the cashmere coat on Yan Sui. “You really like it?”

The cashmere coat was soft and light. Although it didn’t weigh much, its warming effect was excellent.

But Yan Sui realized she couldn’t tell the truth at this moment. She looked away. “It’s alright. As long as I don’t catch a cold.”

The two of them discussed their schedule for a bit and finally decided to go to the medical center to get the report, then to Yan Sui’s house to get her luggage, and finally back to Jian Liyun’s place.

Yan Sui hadn’t contacted a driver today. She was sitting in the passenger seat, watching Jian Liyun with her left hand on the steering wheel. “Be sure to follow the doctor’s orders later. Don’t be disobedient.”

Jian Liyun rubbed the steering wheel with her left hand. “…What did you two talk about just now?”

Well, she was still very curious.

And more than curious, she was uneasy.

Jian Liyun knew that some uncontrollable things were happening without her knowledge.

Yan Sui gripped the seatbelt. “We really didn’t talk about anything. She was just a little unwilling.”

“Unwilling about what?”

Yan Sui pretended to be relaxed. “Unwilling that I’m not her manager. You probably couldn’t tell, Liyun, but I’m also very sought after.”

Jian Liyun gripped the steering wheel, her voice a little dry. “Then do you want to go to her company and be her manager?”

Yan Sui shook her head. “Of course not. Liyun, from start to finish, I’ll only ever be your manager.”

“Alright, alright,” Yan Sui chose to end the somewhat heavy topic. “Speaking of which, I’m a little nervous now.”

“Nervous about what?”

Yan Sui muttered, “What else could I be nervous about? Your medical report, of course.”

Jian Liyun laughed. “My report? Why are you nervous?”

Yan Sui turned her head to look out the window and didn’t say anything.

Jian Liyun shook her head helplessly. “Alright, alright. Thank you, my manager, for being so concerned about my health.”

…

Thirty minutes later.

The two of them walked into the medical center and immediately got Jian Liyun’s report.

Most of the indicators were fine, but…

Yan Sui looked at the psychological assessment report, which showed mild anxiety and mild depression, and her brows furrowed.

Although Jian Liyun’s condition wasn’t severe enough to require medication, she needed to have a regular routine, a healthy diet, and exercise in her daily life.

Yan Sui also specifically asked the doctor. Jian Liyun’s current condition didn’t require sleeping pills.

She grabbed Jian Liyun’s arm. “Don’t take sleeping pills anymore. If you really can’t sleep, take some melatonin, but it’s best not to even take melatonin.”

Jian Liyun looked at her. “But then I won’t be able to sleep.”

“But,” Jian Liyun added, “when I sleep with you, I sleep quite well.”

Yan Sui never expected that one day she would act as a human sleeping aid. She said without thinking, “Well, since I’m living at your place now, let’s just sleep together at night.”

The cool beauty’s lips curled up. “Thank you then, Suisui.”

…

The two of them then drove to Yan Sui’s house.

On the way, Yan Sui finally heard the system’s voice.

“Host, I just… the female lead…”

The system’s voice was clear at first, but as soon as it mentioned Lu Shutian, it started to stutter again.

Yan Sui lowered her eyes and said in her mind, “System, are you unable to talk about topics related to Lu Shutian?”

“Not exactly, host. It’s just…”

The system got stuck again.

Yan Sui understood. “So you can’t answer the question I just asked.”

The lychee scent on Lu Shutian, the system can’t answer.

“Yes, host. I want to answer, but I can’t for some reason. It’s like I’ve been restricted.”

Yan Sui thought for a moment. “Then, system, have Lu Shutian and I met before? Can you answer that question?”

This time, it went completely silent.

Yan Sui understood. “It’s okay, system. It’s fine if you can’t answer.”

Not being able to answer is also an answer.

“Host, you just need to complete the mission of saving the supporting female lead. As long as you successfully save her, this world won’t collapse.”

Yan Sui agreed in her mind, and Jian Liyun also drove into Yan Sui’s neighborhood at this point.

“Can I come up and visit?” Jian Liyun asked while unbuckling her seatbelt.

Yan Sui looked at her movements. “Of course, but even if I said no, you’d come with me anyway, wouldn’t you?”

Jian Liyun paused. “I’d be very sad, but if you didn’t want me to go, I wouldn’t.”

Yan Sui quickly soothed her. “I don’t not want you to go. I was just kidding, Liyun.”

Yan Sui’s home in this world wasn’t very big. It was a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room, less than eighty square meters. But everything was there, and none of the furniture or facilities were missing.

Yan Sui walked toward the bedroom. “Liyun, there’s sparkling water in the fridge. If you want hot water, you can boil some. The kettle is on the far right of the kitchen counter.”

“Okay, I…”

Before Jian Liyun could finish, her phone rang again.

The person on the other end said something, and Jian Liyun hesitated for a few seconds before humming in agreement.

Yan Sui also stopped walking and turned back. “Who is it?”

Jian Liyun frowned. “He Chenyu. He wants me to go over and act with him later.”

Yan Sui now had no mind to pack. Her tone was serious. “Are you going?”

Jian Liyun sighed. “I have to.”

The head of the orphanage was still in the He family’s hospital. Jian Liyun had no choice but to go.

Yan Sui thought for a moment. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

She wanted to see what kind of game this male lead was playing.

He Chenyu had contacted Jian Liyun, and Yan Sui no longer had the heart to properly pack her luggage. She haphazardly stuffed some clothes and daily necessities into her suitcase and was ready to go downstairs with it.

…

In the elevator.

Yan Sui held the handle of her suitcase and said calmly, “After you go to He Chenyu’s place each time, do you feel any changes? Are you tired?”

Jian Liyun said softly, “Reading a script or acting with someone is a draining task. I’m bound to feel tired to some extent.”

“What kind of tired? Physical or mental?” Yan Sui continued to ask.

Jian Liyun stood up straight. “Both, I guess. Suisui, why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Yan Sui had a vague answer in her mind.

It seemed that every time Jian Liyun had contact with the male lead, He Chenyu would extract her luck points.

But the head of the orphanage Jian Liyun grew up in was still in the He family’s hospital. He Chenyu was using this to his advantage, which was why he was so brazen in his exploitation of her.

The elevator slowly descended, reaching the basement level of the parking lot.

The two of them got out of the elevator, and Yan Sui continued to ask, “Besides the head of the orphanage, does He Chenyu have any other connections to the orphanage?”

“Suisui, you’re very sharp,” Jian Liyun smiled helplessly. “He Chenyu also helped other children from the orphanage. He sponsored them to go to school, and when they grew up, he arranged jobs for them.”

On the surface, He Chenyu seemed to have done a lot of good deeds, but in reality, all of these were bargaining chips to use against Jian Liyun.

If Jian Liyun ever displeased He Chenyu, those people would be the first to suffer.

Jian Liyun’s sense of responsibility wouldn’t allow that to happen.

“Suisui,” Jian Liyun said softly, “to be honest, I don’t understand the transaction between him and me. It’s a losing business for him. But right now, I have no other choice.”

“It’s not a losing business,” Yan Sui said with a fake smile. “But it’s okay. Just act as you normally would later.”

“System,” Yan Sui closed her eyes and called the system in her mind, “After we meet the male lead later, no matter what happens, don’t make a sound. This male lead is very strange. It wouldn’t be surprising if he also had a system.”

From what was known so far, both the female lead and the male lead were either awakened or reincarnated, but Yan Sui couldn’t find any real information about them. Furthermore, the system was muted when it came to questions about Lu Shutian.

This 100% indicated that these two people had a higher access level than Yan Sui and her system.

Lu Shutian should be fine for now, but with the male lead He Chenyu, if the system communicated with Yan Sui rashly, he might discover it. That was why Yan Sui was being cautious.

“Okay, host.”

…

An hour later.

Jian Liyun drove up a mountain. Near the top of the mountain was a villa.

Yan Sui noticed that the villa had small courtyards and lawns on three sides, but one side faced a cliff.

“This is my first time coming to this place. Before, we always went to his other residences,” Jian Liyun added as she applied the brakes.

A sense of unease suddenly rose in Yan Sui’s heart.

She pursed her lips. “Did you tell He Chenyu that Lu Shutian installed a camera at his other house?”

Jian Liyun raised an eyebrow. “Of course not.”

It’s none of her business if those two tear each other apart.

Yan Sui hummed and opened the car door.

Standing at the villa’s entrance was a handsome man in a black trench coat. When he saw Jian Liyun park in the front yard, he began to walk toward them.

Jian Liyun and Yan Sui got out of the car. The three of them met, and Jian Liyun spoke first. “Mr. He, this is my manager, Yan Sui. Today just so happens…”

“I’m sorry,” Yan Sui suddenly interrupted very rudely. She looked very anxious, and her lips were a little pale. “I left my phone in the car. Liyun, can I borrow your car keys? I’ll be right back.”

Jian Liyun paused and handed the car keys to Yan Sui. Then she watched as Yan Sui clutched the keys and scurried back to the car, opened the door, and got in.

From the outside, you couldn’t see what was happening inside the car. So Jian Liyun and He Chenyu didn’t know that as soon as Yan Sui got in the car, she covered her mouth with her hands.

“Ugh…”

Yan Sui started to dry heave uncontrollably.

It was so foul.

How could it be so foul?!

When she first met He Chenyu, a smell like rotten eggs mixed with a sewer came rushing toward her, almost making Yan Sui lose her footing.

Yan Sui had wanted to hold on, but the stench was so overwhelming that it broke through her physical limits and went straight to her soul.

Yan Sui realized that if she didn’t get away from the male lead soon, she would probably faint from the stench within ten seconds.

Even though they had only met for a few seconds, Yan Sui still hadn’t recovered.

She leaned against the passenger seat, panting in small breaths, the corners of her eyes red.

She could accept that the male lead was a bad person. There was nothing to worry about when dealing with a bad person—

But this He Chenyu really was, as the system had said, incredibly foul-smelling.

If she couldn’t even have close-quarters communication with the male lead, how was she supposed to interact with him in the future?
