After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Suddenly Fingers Intertwined.

◎I’ve been found out, oh no!◎

In her heart, Yan Sui sincerely sighed, “When I return to the real world, I have to treat Lili to a big meal.”

Bad news: The situation has changed.

Good news: Lili had told her about this, so she knows how to handle it.

Although it didn’t know what this had to do with the host’s friend in her original world, the system silently chose to stay quiet.

When Jian Liyun came out with her suitcase, this was the scene she saw: Yan Sui was sitting upright on the sofa, her eyes staring straight ahead at the view outside the window. Her lips were curved in a smile, but her light brown eyes were devoid of emotion.

She was like a beautiful but soulless doll.

Hearing footsteps, Yan Sui quickly snapped out of it. She looked at the woman with the suitcase and nodded. “The driver is waiting in the parking lot downstairs. Let’s go.”

Jian Liyun finally couldn’t hold back. “Where are we going?”

Yan Sui stood up. “To be hermits.”

Jian Liyun: ?

Did Yan Sui reject that lifestyle show because she wanted me to be on an extreme survival show?

Yan Sui’s face was calm. “Just kidding.”

Well, she knew she was as bad at humor as ever.

Seeing that Jian Liyun still had an unreadable expression, Yan Sui simply stood up and pulled the other person’s suitcase toward the door.

“Hey, you…”

Jian Liyun frowned, reaching out and grabbing Yan Sui’s arm.

Jian Liyun wanted to say she could handle it herself, but Yan Sui misunderstood her.

Her college roommate in her original world, Lili, was a clingy and lively girl. Whenever she reached out to Yan Sui, it was to link arms and walk together.

So Yan Sui slightly twisted her arm to make it easier for the other person to link arms, but Jian Liyun didn’t move.

Could it be that Jian Liyun is even clingier than Lili?

Yan Sui was confused, but making Jian Liyun happy was her top priority right now.

So Yan Sui said softly, “Let go.”

Jian Liyun came to her senses. “Sorry, I just wanted to…”

I can pull my own suitcase.

However, Jian Liyun didn’t say the rest of the sentence.

Because when she let go, a warm and smooth hand intertwined with hers.

Yan Sui even held her hand a little tighter, secretly thinking, This grip is really firm. Now even if the male lead suddenly shows up, I won’t have to worry about Jian Liyun leaving with him.

The two of them arrived at the parking lot in a silent and strange atmosphere. Yan Sui gestured for the driver to help put the suitcase in the trunk, and they both got into the back seat.

Jian Liyun cleared her throat. “Where’s your suitcase?”

Yan Sui waved her hand. “I had someone send mine over ahead of time. We’re just going to rest and relax this time. There really are no other arrangements, so don’t overthink it.”

As she spoke, Yan Sui patted the back of Jian Liyun’s hand as if to comfort her.

She tutted softly. “You had a good breakfast, but why are your hands still so cold?”

Jian Liyun’s body stiffened. She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.

Aside from acting, she didn’t like such close physical contact in her daily life.

But… as if by a strange impulse, she was slowly allowing her new agent’s completely out-of-line actions.

…

Five hours later.

Both were a little sore from the long car ride when the vehicle finally reached its destination.

It was a sparsely populated village, far from the city’s noise. The mountain roads were not in great condition, but thankfully, the driver’s excellent skills meant the passengers in the back didn’t suffer.

It was midday, and the sun was dazzling. Yan Sui put a hand over her eyes and waved at the driver. “Please come back and pick us up at the same time in three days.”

After giving the instructions, Yan Sui took out a key, unlocked the heavy wooden door, and pushed it open.

A self-built house with a yard, a common sight in the countryside, came into view.

Jian Liyun dragged her suitcase, taking in everything in front of her.

Yan Sui walked straight into the house. She first saw her own suitcase in the living room, then called out to Jian Liyun. “Liyun, come here for a second.”

Jian Liyun found that her adaptability was surprisingly strong. In just one night, she had already gotten used to Yan Sui’s intimate way of calling her.

“What’s wrong?”

Yan Sui opened the refrigerator. “If we start cooking rice now, it’ll be too late for lunch. Let’s just have some simple noodles. Take a look at the ingredients here. Is there anything you want to eat? Like zhajiangmian, scallion oil noodles, or egg noodles?”

“Egg noodles,” Jian Liyun paused. “…So, you’re serious?”

Yan Sui took three eggs out of the carton. “Yes. Don’t just stand there, go wash two handfuls of vegetables.”

Jian Liyun had been filming on set a short while ago, and now she was suddenly returning to a simple, rural life.

Although she felt it was strange, Jian Liyun still obediently washed two handfuls of fresh-looking vegetables.

It wasn’t until two steaming bowls of noodles were placed on the wooden dining table that Yan Sui let out a long sigh and sat down. “Let’s eat.”

Jian Liyun looked at her hot bowl of noodles, which had two fried eggs on top.

She looked up and saw that Yan Sui’s bowl only had one fried egg.

“Why do I have two fried eggs?”

Why? Because if you don’t eat more, I feel like your body will turn into a block of ice.

Yan Sui thought to herself, but her face was calm. “Eat more so you can be in a better state for acting.”

“Then why are you only eating one fried egg?”

Yan Sui wanted to say something but didn’t. Is Jian Liyun’s character in this book so fond of asking questions?

What happened to the cold and broken movie queen? Why has she become a person who is so obsessed with the number of fried eggs?

“Host,” the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. “You are the only variable in this world. If the characters’ behaviors are deviating, it’s likely because of you.”

Yan Sui didn’t reply to the system. She looked at Jian Liyun’s flawless face. “Because even if I only eat one fried egg, my brain can still function quickly enough.”

Unlike Jian Liyun, who in this novel, from beginning to end, was madly in love with the male lead and was a person who would do anything for him.

After saying this, Yan Sui also realized her mistake. She put down her chopsticks and said solemnly. “Liyun, I know that as an actress, you need to maintain your figure. But your figure is already very good, even too thin. You need to eat more. Only by getting enough nutrition can you—”

She swallowed the rest of her words, picked up her chopsticks again, and lowered her head to slurp her noodles. “—Only then can you be in a better state for acting.”

She thought about it and decided that her relationship with Jian Liyun was not familiar enough yet, so it was better to mention the male lead as little as possible.

The edges of the fried egg were crispy and fluffy, and the yolk in the center was still a little runny. Jian Liyun took a bite, and it was more delicious than she had imagined.

Although Jian Liyun didn’t say anything, she showed her attitude with her actions: she ate every last bit of the bowl of egg noodles, even drinking the soup until it was gone.

Yan Sui also finished her bowl of egg noodles. She wiped her mouth with a tissue. “You must be tired from the long car ride. Your room is on the second floor on the left. Go rest for a while, and I’ll call you later.”

Jian Liyun stood up to clean the dishes. “I’ll wash the dishes.”

Yan Sui wasn’t being polite. “Okay, see you later.”

After Jian Liyun finished in the kitchen and came to the living room, she saw Yan Sui sitting upright on the sofa, looking at her phone screen with a serious expression.

Realizing that the other person might be handling work, Jian Liyun didn’t disturb her and walked straight upstairs.

At that moment, Yan Sui was scrolling through her phone, discussing with the system.

On the phone screen was a woman with a pure and sweet face.

“Host, the female lead is indeed very beautiful, right?”

Yan Sui answered with a question. “The female lead, Lu Shutian, burst onto the scene as a singer at the beginning of this year. Her first album was met with a warm response and attracted a lot of attention.”

“She is the female lead, after all.”

Yan Sui’s tone was faint. “The male lead, He Chenyu, has currently filmed a movie and a TV series with the supporting female lead, Jian Liyun, but they have not been released yet.”

[This is all the interaction the male lead has with the supporting female lead in the early stages. After the movie and TV series are released, the male lead’s popularity will skyrocket, and then he and the female lead will develop a mutual affection, leaving the supporting female lead to love him without being loved in return.]

Yan Sui paused. “Now, you still can’t confirm the reason why the plot deviated before I even intervened, right?”

“Yes, Host.”

Yan Sui continued to ask. “My personal actions are completely free. If the plot deviates because of me, there’s no problem, right?”

[Of course, Host. The purpose of you being here is to change the supporting female lead’s ending.]

“But what if…” Yan Sui chose her words carefully. “…the price of changing the supporting female lead’s ending affects and hurts others?”

The system suddenly understood.

“Host, are you worried about the female and male leads? Don’t worry. These two are absolutely favored in this world. Even if something happens to anyone else, nothing will happen to them.”

Yan Sui lowered her eyes. “That’s good.”

She stopped talking to the system and started watching some interview footage of Lu Shutian after her debut.

The woman in the video had a sweet smile and two small dimples when she laughed.

After watching one interview, the video app automatically jumped to the next recommended video.

It was Lu Shutian’s first concert after her debut.

Yan Sui had been watching with the sound off. She took out her Bluetooth earphones and put them on.

It was the sweet and soft singing she had expected.

Yan Sui’s eyelids became heavier and heavier. She let herself close her eyes. The long journey had finally made her unable to stay awake, and she fell asleep.

…

“Yan Sui.”

She didn’t know how long it had been, but someone woke her up.

Yan Sui slowly opened her eyes. The phone that had been in her hand was now in someone else’s.

Jian Liyun looked at the person on the phone and then turned to look at Yan Sui.

…Oh no!
