After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: I’m Not Completely Clueless

◎It’s So Hard to Be in the Middle◎

“There’s no punishment, but I’ll lose my reward points. I’ve already done many missions. If I can complete this one, I’ll be able to do one thing I want to do.”

Yan Sui teased, “What is it? That .001 system said you were a low-level system. Can you be upgraded to a mid-level system?”

“It’s not an upgrade, Host. I’m different from other systems. I don’t have the authority to upgrade.”

“No authority to upgrade?” Yan Sui became interested. “If you can’t upgrade, why are you so diligent in doing missions?”

“Because I want to save someone with the points.”

You gossip about me all the time, so I’m going to gossip back.

Yan Sui smiled. “Save someone? Who is it? Is it your previous Host?”

“I don’t know who she is. But the superior’s superior’s superior said that once I’ve saved up enough reward points to exchange, I’ll know.”

“Oh, right, Host. These reward points are different from the points you can use in the system mall. Reward points can only be used by me, the system, and cannot help the Host. So, Host, I didn’t deliberately not give you a cheat QAQ”

Yan Sui waved her hand, indicating that she didn’t mind.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if I don’t have a cheat. Speaking of which, what’s your code name? That system is called .001. What about you? Your code names should be your names, right?”

The system hesitated for a moment.

“Host, I don’t have a name.”

Yan Sui’s heart inexplicably skipped a few beats.

She ended the topic hastily and walked back into the study.

At that moment, Jian Liyun had just placed a piece on the board. She looked up at the person who had entered and smiled.

Yan Sui walked over and was extremely satisfied with what she saw.

“That’s a very good move. It not only creates a new path for our side but also blocks the enemy’s attack.”

Jian Liyun stood up. “Is there a reward?”

Yan Sui thought for a moment. “In three days, it’ll be your twenty-sixth birthday, and the show’s recording will have just ended the day before. Originally, I had a schedule planned for you, but I’ll change it to a day off.”

Actually, I don’t celebrate my birthday.

The words were swallowed back. Jian Liyun moved closer to the other person subtly.

“Then can you spend your birthday with me?”

Yan Sui readily agreed. “Of course, I can.”

Jian Liyun glanced at the clock on the study wall. “There’s still more than an hour until lunch. Do you want to take a nap?”

This time, Yan Sui didn’t refuse. “Okay.”

…

Lying back on the soft bed, Yan Sui felt wide awake.

She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.

“.001.”

The call in her mind was immediately answered.

“Transmigrator Yan Sui, I am here.”

Yan Sui rolled over. “The scar on the female protagonist Lu Shutian’s chest causes her pain. Is this pain constant?”

“Yes. But the level of pain is different. Most of the time, it’s a manageable pain.”

“When does it hurt so much that she can’t bear it? Like that time she was in the waiting room.”

“No comment.”

Yan Sui: “?”

Why is it suddenly so cold?

She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. “Will that scar be life-threatening?”

“It is indeed a ticking time bomb.”

Although her eyes were closed, Yan Sui’s eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

“Then the black energy I absorbed last time, did it help her?”

“Yes. But your low-level system also told you that doing so would harm your body. You can only withstand this kind of action three more times at most. After three times, your physical body in this world will collapse.”

Yan Sui sighed.

“Then why did you erase some of the female protagonist’s memories?”

Yan Sui was now very sure that Lu Shutian had indeed accompanied her in her own world.

But from the current situation, it was obvious that Lu Shutian had forgotten that past, and it wasn’t a choice she made willingly.

“Transmigrator Yan Sui, you have too many questions today.”

Yan Sui snorted softly. “Forget it if you won’t tell me.”

Anyway, I’ve already gotten a lot of information today.

She yawned, and sleepiness finally hit her. Yan Sui fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because she was sleeping so soundly, even her dreams were hazy.

She only remembered a girl with an unclear face standing by a river. Across the river, a soul was drifting.

The girl looked up at the sky, and the soul looked at the girl, and they missed each other.

It seemed like a very sad scene.

…

“Suisui.”

Yan Sui was woken up by a woman’s voice. She opened her eyes and saw Jian Liyun standing by the bed.

Jian Liyun bent down and pinched Yan Sui’s face. “Time to eat, Suisui.”

Yan Sui was a little embarrassed. “…Okay. I’m your manager, but I’m the one who’s causing you so much trouble.”

“I’m happy to take care of you.” Jian Liyun turned off the air conditioner and, seeing Yan Sui’s outstretched hand, pulled her up.

Yan Sui half-closed her eyes and buried her face in the other’s arms. “What did you make for lunch?”

“I didn’t make anything. This morning when you went to see Lu Shutian, I contacted a nutritionist…”

Jian Liyun’s words came to an abrupt halt.

The light beige pajamas Yan Sui was wearing were already loose, and because she had tossed and turned in her sleep, the top three buttons on her chest were undone.

As she moved, the pajamas opened even more, and a red mark on her delicate, fair skin was particularly noticeable.

Jian Liyun’s eyes immediately locked onto the red mark.

The red mark was right on Yan Sui’s collarbone. The shape and size of it made it very difficult for Jian Liyun to pretend it was a mosquito bite.

“A nutritionist what?” The oblivious Yan Sui in her arms rubbed against Jian Liyun’s neck and shoulder, her voice soft.

“…A nutritionist. I sent her your check-up report from last night and asked her to make some nutritious meals. But we’re a little short on time today, so it might not be very fancy.”

Jian Liyun instantly adjusted her state of mind. She held Yan Sui’s thighs with both hands and effortlessly lifted her up.

Yan Sui’s calves swung slightly with her steps. She mumbled, “You’re carrying me to eat again… I feel like I’ve become so lazy since I started living with you.”

Jian Liyun remained silent, carried Yan Sui to the dining room, and placed her in a chair.

Yan Sui rubbed her face, and her vision cleared.

The food on the dining table was not only beautiful and fragrant but also seemed to have the words “nutritious and healthy” carved onto the plates.

She picked up a shrimp and put it in her mouth, about to praise the nutritionist’s cooking, but stopped herself when she saw the expression on the face of the person opposite her.

Although Jian Liyun was eating slowly and methodically, Yan Sui could feel that she was angry again.

“Liyun…” Yan Sui cautiously probed.

Jian Liyun paused, and her tone was gentle. “Let’s talk after we eat.”

She remembered what Yan Sui had said: don’t argue during meals.

The originally delicious meal lost some of its flavor. Yan Sui quickly finished her rice and put down her chopsticks. “I’m full.”

Jian Liyun raised her chin. “There’s also matsutake chicken soup. Have a bowl.”

Yan Sui had no choice but to gulp down another bowl of warm soup.

She wiped her mouth with a tissue and, seeing that Jian Liyun had also finished her meal, continued the topic from before.

“Liyun, are you a little angry?”

Jian Liyun said flatly, “Not a little.”

Yan Sui was on high alert. She immediately called out to the system in her mind. “Did she find something when I was sleeping? Or did I sleepwalk and demolish her house?”

“No, Host. After you fell asleep, at least in the bedroom, there was nothing unusual.”

Nothing unusual?

That’s even more suspicious.

Jian Liyun was asking a question, but her tone was very firm.

“Yesterday, before the show’s recording, you actually went to see Lu Shutian, didn’t you?”

“Um, well, that…”

Yan Sui didn’t know why she was feeling guilty. In the end, she hardened her heart. “Yes, I did. She had something to tell me.”

The corners of Jian Liyun’s lips curled up, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes.

“Was it the same as today?”

Yan Sui scratched her face. “Not exactly the same, but if you have to say so, it was more or less the same.”

After all, she was determined to find out Lu Shutian’s secret, and Lu Shutian was determined to—

—kiss or bite her.

Both of them had clear goals.

Jian Liyun stood up and went to the living room. Yan Sui followed closely behind her. The two of them sat on the sofa.

“Can I do the same thing she did?” Jian Liyun suddenly asked.

Yan Sui thought the topic was over, but the other person brought it up unexpectedly.

The same thing?

Yan Sui didn’t know what Jian Liyun was thinking, but if she really wanted Jian Liyun to hold her and kiss and bite her like Lu Shutian did, Yan Sui thought…

Well, it’s not impossible. As long as they’re happy.

Yan Sui smiled and said, “Do you know what she did that you want to do the same thing?”

“I know,” Jian Liyun replied very quickly this time.

“I really wanted to pretend I didn’t know, but I found that I can’t fool myself.”

Yan Sui’s face became serious. She proactively moved closer to Jian Liyun. Their bodies were not pressed tightly together. “Liyun, what’s wrong with you?”

Jian Liyun exhaled and changed the subject.

“Have you thought about what to get me for my birthday?”

Yan Sui nodded proudly. “Of course, and I promise you’ll love it.”

Jian Liyun turned to look at the person next to her. “Then can you grant the birthday wish of the birthday girl?”

Yan Sui also turned to lean against the sofa. “Of course. What do you want? I can even get you the stars from the sky.”

After making the big promise, Yan Sui rubbed her nose. “Cough, cough. I was exaggerating. I can’t actually get you the stars from the sky. But for anything else, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll definitely agree to it.”

“I want…”

Your heart, your love.

Yan Sui waited for her to finish, but Jian Liyun fell silent.

She nudged her shoulder. “Liyun, why did you stop talking?”

Jian Liyun lowered her eyes. “You have to say your birthday wish on your birthday.”

Only then did Yan Sui stop.

…

After lunch, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together. There was still half an hour until they had to leave, and Yan Sui used this time to look through food apps for dessert and cake shops.

I wonder what kind of cake Jian Liyun likes.

Yan Sui was looking very seriously and didn’t notice that Jian Liyun had also shifted her gaze to her phone screen at some point.

“Don’t buy one that’s too big. It’s just the two of us.”

“Oh,” Yan Sui thought that since she had already been seen, she might as well ask directly. “What kind of cake texture do you like? Do you like ice cream cake?”

Jian Liyun simply took Yan Sui’s phone, swiped her finger on the screen, and finally tapped on one particular item.

“This one. A six-inch cake is just right for two people.”

Yan Sui was about to order but stopped when she saw the picture clearly.

She was a little hesitant but still said it.

“Liyun, this is a couple’s cake, not a birthday cake.”

In the picture, a little white rabbit and a little brown bear were sitting on top of the cake, looking simple and adorable.

Below the two little animals, the words “I love you” were written in red frosting.

“The supporting female lead is so pitiful. She’s winking at a blind person again.”

“I’m starting to feel sorry for Jie~Jie~ Li~yun~.”

The system’s snarky voice sounded in Yan Sui’s head.

Yan Sui ignored it. She looked at Jian Liyun, who averted her gaze.

“Suisui, let’s just order this one. It’s very cute. I really like it.”

“Suisui is very cute. I~ re~ally~ like~ it~”

The system had completely devolved into a smart, repetitive parrot.

Yan Sui raised an eyebrow. “Alright then.”

After all that, it was time for the two of them to go to the variety show recording.

Yan Sui changed her clothes, put on her shoes, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Shutian outside, her hand raised to knock.

“Jiejie,” Lu Shutian said pitifully. “My driver has a last-minute emergency and can’t make it. Can I hitch a ride with you?”

Can’t you just take a taxi? I’ll even pay for it.

Jian Liyun felt a surge of unprovoked anger. She almost couldn’t hold back and say it out loud.

But she didn’t, and waited for Yan Sui to speak.

As expected, Yan Sui agreed without much hesitation. “Sure.”

…Not sure.

Even though the passenger seat in the front was empty, Lu Shutian insisted on sitting in the back. The three of them weren’t squeezed, but the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

Yan Sui, who was sitting in the middle with a blank expression: …

Someone save me.

Jian Liyun looked at Lu Shutian on one side and then at Yan Sui, who had unease written all over her face. She finally spoke.

“Ms. Lu,” her voice was cold. “I suggest you sit in the front.”

Lu Shutian wasn’t going to fall for it. “No. I think sitting here is fine.”

Jian Liyun’s tone didn’t change. “Your seat is a little dirty. After it got dirty yesterday, I haven’t had a chance to have the driver clean it yet.”

Dirty?

Lu Shutian was about to say that she didn’t care, but then she suddenly thought of something.

“Dirty?” She didn’t realize how much she was gritting her teeth. “How could the car be dirty? How did you two make it dirty?”

Yan Sui also realized what Jian Liyun meant. She didn’t want Lu Shutian to know about it, so she followed up. “It is a little dirty. Can you sit in the front, please? If you don’t want to sit in the front, I’ll go sit there. I’ll make space for you.”

“Who wants to sit with her!”

The two voices rang out at the same time.

Lu Shutian was so angry that her face was a little red. She raised her voice. “Dirty is dirty! I don’t care! I’m used to it anyway!”

“You, what are you used to?” Yan Sui thought this person was being inexplicable.

“Host, the female lead wants to say that she’s used to you and the supporting female lead doing that, but you and the supporting female lead didn’t actually do that. But from the supporting female lead’s perspective, she thinks you and the female lead are having an affair.”

“Host, start juggling, hehehe!”

The system let out a villainous laugh, leaving her with an accomplished feeling.

Lu Shutian looked like she was about to cry. She pouted. “Jiejie, you’re going too far.”

Jian Liyun said calmly, “Ms. Lu, if you don’t mind the dried bloodstains, then sit there.”

“Bl00d?” Lu Shutian realized something was wrong. “Why would there be bl00d?”

Yan Sui said weakly, “It was my nosebleed from last night. Some of it got on the seat.”
