After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: A Slap to the Face

◎Felt so good, hehe◎

When Yan Sui woke up again, she opened her eyes to a white ceiling. The smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils, making her frown involuntarily.

“Suisui, you’re finally awake.”

Yan Sui looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jian Liyun, whose eyes were a little red.

“Where am I…” Yan Sui’s voice was hoarse, and she was a little confused.

Weren’t she and Jian Liyun supposed to be heading home?

Jian Liyun was still a little shaken as she recalled what happened. “On our way home, you suddenly started having a nosebleed that just wouldn’t stop. I had the driver rush you to the nearest hospital. Fortunately, the doctor treated you in time, and you’re fine now.”

“Huh?” Yan Sui was surprised. “I had a nosebleed?”

This body was identical to her body in her original world, and she had never had a nosebleed in her life.

She hadn’t been hit or stimulated in any way, so why did she suddenly have a nosebleed?

Jian Liyun looked even more confused than she was. “You had a physical exam just a few days ago, and the results showed that everything was normal… But the doctor just drew your bl00d for a test, and the results showed that you’re malnourished.”

Yan Sui didn’t know what to say.

She quickly adjusted her mindset. “Then I’ll just pay attention to my diet from now on. I’m sorry, Liyun. Did I scare you?”

Jian Liyun shook her head. “I’m just glad you’re okay. Go back to sleep. I’ll wake you up after the IV is done, and we’ll go home.”

Yan Sui then remembered that Jian Liyun had to film the show tomorrow. “Liyun, you should go home and rest first. You have to film the show tomorrow. I’ll be completely fine here by myself. Don’t worry.”

Jian Liyun pursed her lips and shook her head silently.

Seeing this, Yan Sui had no choice. She looked at the room. It seemed to be a single VIP room. Not far away, there was a sofa that was big enough for one person to lie down on. “Liyun, why don’t you go rest over there… wait!”

Yan Sui’s pupils constricted. She ignored her discomfort and struggled to sit up, her hand that wasn’t attached to the IV gently grabbing the other’s arm.

“Why is your sleeve all bloody? Did you hurt your arm? Did you get it treated by a doctor?”

Jian Liyun sighed. “Suisui, this is your bl00d.”

Yan Sui patted her chest. “That’s good. You scared me. I thought you were hurt too.”

Jian Liyun lowered her eyes. “I wish I were the one who was hurt.”

“Don’t say that,” Yan Sui frowned. “Okay, what happened to me today was an accident. I’ll try my best to not let it happen again in the future, and I won’t make you worry anymore.”

Jian Liyun nodded slightly. She stroked Yan Sui’s face. “Go to sleep.”

Seeing that Jian Liyun had no intention of resting on the sofa, Yan Sui was helpless. “Alright, then you can sit next to me. If you get tired, go sleep over there.”

“Okay.”

Jian Liyun’s eyes remained on Yan Sui. When their eyes met, Yan Sui felt it would be awkward if she didn’t say something, so she simply closed her eyes.

“System,” Yan Sui called out in her mind.

“Host, boohoo.”

“You can talk now? When I was helping Lu Shutian, were you muted again? So pitiful,” Yan Sui teased in her mind.

“Host, how can you joke at a time like this QAQ? At that time, I was really trying my best to tell you not to help the female lead like that. You were helping to bear and transfer her pain, and those side effects would transfer to you.”

“I can’t just stand by and watch, can I?”

The system got anxious. “Host, the premise of standing by is to ensure your own safety. What happened just now, the female lead…”

The system was again testing the limits of being muted.

Yan Sui was helpless. “System, you’d better speak a little more cryptically, or you’ll be muted again.”

“Host, that was the price she chose to bear. It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to help her like that. Also, your body won’t be able to handle it. This time it was just a nosebleed. What about next time? You might not even be saved in time, even if you go to the hospital.”

“You will die in the truest sense.”

“You’re trying to scare me,” Yan Sui said with certainty. “You should be able to tell how many more times my body can handle it, right?”

“Host, why are you so smart at a time like this?”

“So, how many more times can I handle it, at most?”

“At most, three times. Host, if you help her like that again, you will really die. The you in this world will die, and the you in the original world won’t be able to survive that car accident.”

The system was serious for once.

Yan Sui changed the subject. “Do you know that system that activated the True Vision for me? It has activated the True Vision for me twice now.”

“Host, you must have fallen in love with the new system and don’t want me, your old flame, anymore, boohoo.”

Yan Sui said bluntly, “Yeah, at least it has its own cheat. Okay, back to the point. Do you know that system? The timing of its appearance is always… well-chosen.”

Moreover, this new system seemed to have different mission requirements from the system she was bound to.

The system she was bound to asked her to save the supporting female lead, while the new system wanted her to understand the situations of the female lead and the male lead more.

“Host, my authority is too low, so I can’t check the identity of the new system. But… I think it seems to be using you.”

Yan Sui said indifferently, “I’m not losing anything, so it doesn’t matter. Right now, I don’t know its ultimate goal. If it wants to use me, what exactly does it want me to do?”

The two couldn’t come to a conclusion for the time being.

Yan Sui fell asleep without even realizing it.

She slept very soundly. When she woke up again, it was the next morning.

…

“Suisui.” Someone stroked her face.

Yan Sui groggily rubbed her face against the other person’s palm. “…Sleepy.”

The person helped her sit up. “I know you’re very sleepy, but eat breakfast first, then you can go back to sleep.”

Yan Sui was already in a light beige cotton pajama set. She frowned and hugged the other person like a spoiled child. “No, I’m so sleepy. Let me sleep a little longer.”

Yan Sui was so sleepy that she couldn’t even bother to open her eyes, and her consciousness was a little blurry. But she knew that the person calling out to her was someone she could completely trust and even rely on.

Jian Liyun laughed, then leaned close to her ear. “Wrap your legs around my waist, and I’ll carry you to eat. Is that okay, Miss Yan?”

“Don’t call me that… I don’t want to be Miss Yan.” Yan Sui muttered, but her body was honest and clung to Jian Liyun.

A faint jasmine scent entered her nostrils. It was a comforting scent.

Before her mind could catch up, the words were already out of her mouth. “Liyun, the show’s recording…”

Jian Liyun carried Yan Sui to the dining table. “Don’t worry, it’s eight in the morning now. We just need to get there by two in the afternoon.”

Carefully placing Yan Sui on a wooden chair, Jian Liyun placed a steaming red date soy milk in front of her. “Drink some soy milk first to warm your stomach.”

Yan Sui reluctantly opened her eyes. After her vision cleared, her half-closed eyes widened completely.

It was breakfast, but the dining table was filled with all kinds of food, so much so that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a feast.

“It’s just the two of us. This is too much,” Yan Sui said, astonished.

Jian Liyun looked as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “You don’t have to eat it all. Just try a little of everything for more nutrients.”

God knows how heartbroken Jian Liyun was when she heard the doctor say that Yan Sui was malnourished.

She was determined to get Yan Sui’s body back in shape.

Yan Sui shook her head helplessly. “Okay, okay, but don’t do this anymore. I know my own body.”

“Suisui,” Jian Liyun looked at the still-pale woman in front of her. “I want you to have a long and happy life.”

Yan Sui smiled. “I wish the same for you. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy too.”

Jian Liyun stopped herself from saying more.

“Host, you’re about to make the supporting female lead fall head over heels for you.”

Yan Sui chewed on her siu mai. “System, you’re always talking nonsense.”

After they finished breakfast, Yan Sui was about to go back to sleep when she received a call from Director Kong.

“Xiao Yan, I’m going to send you a file. Please print it out and give it to Lu Shutian immediately.”

“Huh?” Yan Sui didn’t immediately agree. “Ms. Lu isn’t an artist at our company, is she?”

Director Kong said “Oh!” over the phone. “It’s just that her manager, Old He, just contacted me. Old He told me that you two are neighbors. He has something to do and can’t see her, so can you help with this?”

Yan Sui was helpless and could only agree.

After hanging up, a minute later, Yan Sui received an electronic file from Director Kong on her phone.

Reluctantly standing up, Yan Sui muttered, “In and out quickly. I’m going back to sleep.”

Jian Liyun leaned closer. “What’s wrong?”

Yan Sui briefly explained, then pointed in the direction of the door. “Liyun, I’m going out to a nearby print shop to get this file printed.”

Jian Liyun grabbed her arm. “No need. There’s a printer in the study.”

Yan Sui raised an eyebrow. “That’s great. I didn’t even notice it when I went to your study before.”

Jian Liyun smiled. “Because I had put it away.”

The two of them went to the study. Jian Liyun brought out the printer, which hadn’t been used in a long time. Fortunately, the machine was still in working order.

The paper was still slightly warm after being printed. Yan Sui touched the warm paper. “I’ll go give it to her now.”

Jian Liyun wanted to go with her but was stopped by Yan Sui. “It’s just a file. I’ll be right back.”

Yan Sui thought that it was just a matter of knocking on a door and delivering a file, so she couldn’t be bothered to change out of her pajamas. “Liyun, do you have a loose, long coat? Can I borrow one?”

Jian Liyun took out a gray-green woolen coat from the closet. “Wear this.”

Yan Sui put it on. She was too lazy to button it up, so she just casually folded it, took the file, and left.

Knock, knock, knock.

Yan Sui knocked on the door. After a short while, the door was opened.

Yan Sui had a polite smile on her face. “Ms. Lu, your manager asked my boss to have me deliver this file to you. I didn’t read the contents of the file, so don’t worry.”

Why is she calling me Ms. Lu again? Shouldn’t she call me Tiantian?

Lu Shutian glanced at Yan Sui. The words she wanted to say were swallowed back.

The woman in front of her was casually wearing a long coat, but underneath, she was wearing the same light beige pajamas that Lu Shutian had seen on Jian Liyun’s bed. The top two buttons of the pajamas were undone, and her delicate and beautiful collarbone rose and fell with Yan Sui’s breathing.

Lu Shutian lowered her eyes and stepped aside, gesturing for Yan Sui to come in.

Yan Sui hesitated. “I’ll be going back to rest after I give you this file.”

Lu Shutian turned her head away. Her expression was so fleeting that it was hard to notice it turn into a hint of ferocity.

“There are some things in this file that I need to talk to you about. You need to report back to my manager.”

What am I, an outsider, doing getting involved in your and your manager’s business?

Yan Sui complained in her mind. “Alright then.”

She had left in a hurry and hadn’t brought her phone. Thinking that Lu Shutian probably wouldn’t keep her for too long, she just walked into her room.

Bang.

The door was closed by Lu Shutian. “Jiejie, give me the file.”

Yan Sui handed it over. Lu Shutian took the file and sat on the sofa in a casual, lazy posture. She flipped through the file. “Jiejie, have you had breakfast?”

Yan Sui nodded. “Yeah.”

She straightened her coat and stood by the sofa.

Lu Shutian’s speed of flipping through the file became faster and faster. The phrase “reading ten lines at a glance” wasn’t fast enough to describe her reading speed.

Yan Sui suspected that she wasn’t reading it carefully at all, and that was indeed the case.

Lu Shutian threw the file onto the coffee table. “Jiejie, do you hate me that much?”

How did the topic change to this again?

Yan Sui was used to it. “I don’t hate you.”

Lu Shutian laughed. “Yeah, I shouldn’t have asked that.”

She tugged on the hem of Yan Sui’s coat. As she did, Yan Sui’s coat was pulled open, revealing the light beige pajamas underneath.

“Compared to me, you still like Jian Liyun more, right? You like the pajamas she bought you so much that you’re even wearing them to my house?”

[Host, do you believe that if you say the coat is also the supporting female lead’s, the female lead will explode on the spot?]

Yan Sui was helpless. “System, you’re always trying to stir up trouble.”

She put on a serious face. “I’m used to wearing them. I was a little tired yesterday, and I was planning to go back to rest after giving you the file, so I couldn’t be bothered to change.”

It was better if Yan Sui hadn’t said anything. Her words completely ignited Lu Shutian’s anger.

She stood up and, with a cold face, wrapped her arm around the other’s waist. She then shifted her center of gravity, and the two of them fell onto the soft sofa together.

Lu Shutian propped herself up with one hand on the sofa. The ends of her hair brushed against Yan Sui’s cheek, like a kind of intimate test.

The person involved, however, was completely oblivious. Yan Sui’s body hadn’t recovered yet, and being suddenly moved like that made her see stars. She felt dizzy as if the world was spinning.

She couldn’t see or hear clearly, and the feeling was really uncomfortable.

Yan Sui’s pupils were unfocused, and her silence was interpreted as disgust by Lu Shutian.

Lu Shutian reached for Yan Sui’s chest. Through the delicate skin and soft flesh, she could feel the other’s heart beating.

Feeling the pulse on her hand, Lu Shutian was very unwilling. “Jiejie, I still don’t understand where I lost.”

Lost? Did you participate in some kind of competition?

Yan Sui, whose hearing had just recovered, felt truly helpless when she heard the other person say that.

She heard her own voice. “Why are you so obsessed with me? It’s meaningless. Does the scar on your chest still hurt often?”

Lu Shutian sneered. “What if it hurts? You won’t feel sorry for me anyway.”

[Female lead, you’re lying! My host not only feels sorry for you, she even bore the damage for you, and you’re still talking to her like this!]

The system was indignant, but Yan Sui’s emotions were not affected in the slightest.

Their current position was quite intimate, but there was no trace of desire in her eyes. “Xiao Lu… Tiantian, I’m being serious with you. That scar on your chest, you said it’s a punishment. Can you tell me what kind of punishment it is? And does the punishment make you feel pain?”

“Kiss me, and I’ll tell you,” Lu Shutian’s expression suddenly changed.

Yan Sui: “…”

Sometimes she wondered if Lu Shutian and Jian Liyun had contacted each other in private, otherwise why would they always say the exact same thing?

And yet, Lu Shutian looked serious right now. Although what she said wasn’t serious, she seemed to not be joking.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a minute.

Yan Sui gave in.

She blinked, pinched the other’s chin, and without much force, Lu Shutian’s pure and sweet face came closer and closer to hers.

Yan Sui slightly tilted her head, and at the last moment, she lightly kissed the corner of Lu Shutian’s lips.

“Now can you tell me?”

Lu Shutian’s lips moved. “…Are you that unwilling to kiss me?”

Even at the last minute, she only reluctantly kissed the corner of my mouth.

Yan Sui really couldn’t hold back. She lightly patted Lu Shutian’s face. “Don’t push your luck.”

Even though it was an action that was almost like a slap, Lu Shutian finally smiled.

She licked her lower lip, still seeming to want more.

Yan Sui: ?

“Host, you just made the female lead feel good.”

Huh? Is that what happened? What a strange female lead.

Yan Sui resisted the urge to frown. She cleared her throat. “Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’m going back.”

Yan Sui made a move to push her away, but Lu Shutian playfully clung to her. Although she was clinging to her, she didn’t actually put all her weight on Yan Sui.

“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you.”

Lu Shutian hugged her. With a slight push, the two of them were lying on their sides, facing each other.

The female lead, who was beautiful enough to make people unable to look away, was lying opposite her. In Yan Sui’s mind, she was thinking that it was a good thing the sofa was wide enough, or Lu Shutian would have fallen off.

Lu Shutian grabbed Yan Sui’s hand and moved it to her chest. Through the fabric, Yan Sui still felt dazed, as if she could feel the unevenness of that grotesque scar.

“Jiejie, it hurts.” Although she said painful things, Lu Shutian’s tone was a little pleasant. “And this scar, in this world, only you can see.”

Huh?

Yan Sui didn’t expect this. “Then…”

Lu Shutian stroked the other’s arm. The skin was very delicate, but it was a little cold. She didn’t like it.

“Because we were born to be a perfect match, so only you can see my pain.”

“Why is this female lead adding her own shipping? Host, you haven’t even said anything yet, and she’s already shipping herself with you.”

The well-traveled system had seen this situation in other worlds. It would call her the ultimate “dream girl” (a term for someone who fantasizes about themselves and their favorite character).

Yan Sui changed the subject. “Then how can this scar be healed?”

Lu Shutian smiled. “The people in this world can’t see this scar, so they naturally can’t heal me. No matter how many times I get checked at the hospital, there won’t be anything wrong. If you want to heal it…”

Lu Shutian slowed down her speech, and Yan Sui unconsciously held her breath.

“To be honest, I have some ideas, but I’m not sure yet. And the scar and the pain are just the results of the problem. They’re not important in themselves.”

“How can they not be important,” Yan Sui frowned. “You’re in a lot of pain. That makes it important to you.”

Lu Shutian’s lips moved. She was about to continue being strong, but she gave up.

She closed her eyes. Her fingers lightly touched Yan Sui’s face, tracing her features.

“Jiejie,” Lu Shutian’s voice was extremely soft. “I did awaken, but it’s not just an awakening.”

“Have you ever played a game, Jiejie?”

Lu Shutian’s hand touched the corner of Yan Sui’s eye. The warmth from her fingertips made her feel at ease.

Without waiting for Yan Sui’s answer, she continued to talk to herself. “If this is a game—”

“Then now, it’s the second playthrough of the world.”
