After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Between Her And Me, Who Do You Like More?

◎The trap question is here.◎

Yan Sui’s heart suddenly raced. She immediately sat up, wanting to get her phone back, but Jian Liyun lifted her hand, preventing Yan Sui from reaching it.

Feeling anxious, Yan Sui stood up to try to grab it, but Jian Liyun also held the phone higher.

She was still thinking about how to explain, when the other person asked first, “You really like her?”

Jian Liyun’s face was expressionless when she asked this, showing no sign of happiness or anger.

Yan Sui was rarely flustered. She quickly shook her head, “Of course I don’t like her.”

This is called knowing your enemy to win a hundred battles.

…It’s just that she fell asleep halfway through her research because she was too tired.

Jian Liyun took off the Bluetooth earphone from Yan Sui’s left ear and put it on herself.

A sweet female voice came from the earphone.

Jian Liyun finally returned the phone to Yan Sui, “But she sings really well. Many people like her.”

Yan Sui finally got her phone back, but she didn’t have time to exit the video. Instead, she immediately covered Jian Liyun’s mouth.

The reason was simple: in the original novel, this was something Jian Liyun would say in the later part of the story.

At that time, Jian Liyun, covered in injuries, was curled up in a cold corner and said to the agent who came to see her.

“But she sings really well. Many people like her, including him.”

Yan Sui’s memory of this sentence was particularly vivid.

So she didn’t hesitate to cover Jian Liyun’s lips, stopping her from continuing to speak.

Yan Sui’s palm is so soft, Jian Liyun thought at an inappropriate time.

She didn’t resist, but quietly looked at the other person.

As Jian Liyun, who was born with an actress’s face, as long as she stood there, even if she didn’t do or say anything, people would feel that she was full of stories and would want to find out more.

And now, those eyes, which were very dark but inexplicably sparkled, were looking at Yan Sui.

The other person’s eyes were like a magical vortex, making people unable to help but fall into them.

Yan Sui was not affected at all. Her tone was firm, and she said every word clearly.

“Yes, many people do like her. But there are also many, many other people in this world. Some people like her, and some people will like you. You don’t need to compare yourself to anyone. You just have to be yourself.”

Jian Liyun grabbed the other person’s wrist. The hand covering her mouth was moved away, and she asked, “Then who do you like?”

“Of course I…” Yan Sui was halfway through her sentence when she felt something was off.

Why is Jian Liyun’s question so strange?

So she quickly changed her words, “Of course, I, well, I only care about you. You are my only artist. I hope you can leave behind excellent film and television works.”

In fact, you and I both know that until we’re old, you will be the only one in my heart~

The Bluetooth earphone was still dutifully playing the song. At this moment, Lu Shutian happened to be singing that line.

Yan Sui finally had time to close the video.

And the Jian Liyun in front of her also returned the Bluetooth earphone to her.

“What’s for dinner?”

Yan Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The topic was finally over.

“Let’s make some simple home-style dishes. We’ll put them in a thermal container because we’re going out later.”

…

Two hours later.

The sun had already half-dipped below the horizon, and the sky was a lot darker.

Jian Liyun looked at Yan Sui, who was carrying a full set of equipment, “Are you going fishing?”

Yan Sui nodded as if it were the most natural thing, “Of course. We’ll have fish soup for lunch tomorrow.”

“But it’s getting dark now,” Jian Liyun frowned.

Yan Sui raised an eyebrow, “That’s why we’re night fishing. Don’t worry, the security here is very good. There’s no danger at night, and the riverbank is not far from here. It’s only a ten-minute walk.”

“Host, you’re not trying to slack off and kill her under the cover of darkness, are you?”

The system’s tone was resentful. It had guided so many hosts, but this one was the most unpredictable.

Yan Sui sighed in her heart, “How could I? The dead of night is also when people are most likely to let their guard down.”

She wanted Jian Liyun to trust her completely instead of blindly following the male lead.

The two of them arrived at the riverbank. Yan Sui took out a box of bait.

“Liyun, I remember you played a character who knew how to fish. So I’ll leave the part about setting up the bait and lure to you.”

That was a crime thriller, and it was Jian Liyun’s debut work.

In that work, she played a murderer in one of the episodes. On the surface, she was a college student who loved fishing, but in reality, she was a cold-blooded killer who was an expert at disposing of bodies.

In terms of ranking, the character Jian Liyun played didn’t even make it to the fourth or fifth female lead. But she still managed to catch the audience’s attention with her outstanding acting skills.

Everyone jokingly asked her if she really had a criminal record to be able to act so convincingly.

The sun had also completely set at this time.

Jian Liyun was preparing the bait, while Yan Sui set up a small night light and sprayed some mosquito repellent on both of them.

Everything was ready. The two of them cast their fishing lines, and the fluorescent floats were visible, floating on the surface of the water.

Yan Sui sat on her small stool and said softly, “You really seemed professional when you were setting up the bait just now.”

Jian Liyun said faintly, “I also didn’t expect that your hobby would be fishing.”

People in this industry, who have seen too many bright lights and fancy worlds, find it hard to like quiet, somewhat boring things like fishing.

Yan Sui didn’t actually like fishing either, but this was one of the few skills she was good at besides that one thing.

More importantly, the time spent waiting for the fish to bite was enough for them to talk about many things.

So she answered flawlessly, “Fishing can be relaxing, and the air in the mountains feels a bit fresher. Do you feel a little more relaxed now? After all, you’ve filmed two dramas back-to-back, so you must be very tired.”

Jian Liyun was silent. The moonlight gently shone on her face, making her originally cold features a little softer.

Yan Sui’s heart pounded. Did the other person really not like this?

But the novel clearly said that besides the male lead, the supporting female lead’s favorite thing was to be alone in a quiet place.

…Okay, she forgot about the “alone” part. But right now, Yan Sui couldn’t let Jian Liyun be by herself.

“I’m not tired,” Jian Liyun finally replied after a long time, “I really like acting.”

Before Yan Sui could speak, Jian Liyun continued, “Playing all sorts of different people and living out their lives makes me feel very fulfilled.”

“The completeness and happiness I can’t find in my own life, I can find in acting.”

Yan Sui’s attention was no longer on the float in the river. She turned around and looked at Jian Liyun seriously.

“Liyun, you’re going to be an amazing actress.”

Jian Liyun’s red lips parted slightly, “You…”

But Yan Sui smiled. Unlike her previous empty and numb smiles, this time, her smile had a genuine hint of envy and expectation.

“Seriously, you can do it. You found something you love to do and you’re so talented at it. You’re going to have a great future.”

As long as you don’t become obsessed with love, Yan Sui silently added in her heart.

Yan Sui’s eyes were bright and passionate. Jian Liyun looked away.

Seeing the other person suddenly look away, Yan Sui didn’t get upset. She turned back to watch the float, “I envy you for finding something you truly love. Many people spend their whole lives and never find it.”

“As for the completeness and happiness in your life… Wait, my float is moving!”

Halfway through her sentence, Yan Sui suddenly gripped her fishing rod tightly. She stared intently at the bobbing float, fully concentrated.

It didn’t take much effort for Yan Sui to reel in her first fish of the night.

The fish wasn’t big, but Yan Sui proudly showed it off to Jian Liyun, “How about that? I’m good, right?”

Jian Liyun chuckled softly, “Mhm.”

After putting the fish into the basket, Yan Sui continued the previous topic, “As for the completeness and happiness in your life, sometimes it’s not that you can’t find it, you just need to look at it from a different perspective.”

“Like what?” Jian Liyun asked.

Yan Sui pursed her lips, “Like, loving yourself before loving others.”

Jian Liyun froze, “I don’t love anyone to begin with.”

Really? I don’t believe you.

Yan Sui didn’t say this out loud. She let out a soft “mhm,” “Whether you love others or not, don’t forget to love yourself first.”

Jian Liyun lowered her eyes. Her float was moving, too.

“Wow, the fish you caught is huge.”

Seeing Jian Liyun reel in a big fish, Yan Sui exclaimed.

The fish was plump and beautiful. Yan Sui couldn’t help but take out her phone, “Get in position, I’ll take a picture of it.”

“But I don’t know how.”

I don’t know how to love myself.

Yan Sui lowered her head, looking at the camera on her phone, “What did you just say?”

The flash of the phone went off, and the big fish was captured in the picture.

Jian Liyun’s tone was a little cold, “Nothing.”

“Host, she said she doesn’t know how.”

The system’s voice chimed in at the right moment. Yan Sui understood and didn’t forget to praise it.

“System, even though you don’t have any cheats, you’re still a great system.”

The system giggled, its mechanical voice getting a little excited from the flattery.

“Of course. You should be happy to have a system like me, Host.”

Jian Liyun just watched as Yan Sui’s eyes and eyebrows became softer and softer.

This woman is so strange. My attitude just now was so bad, but how is she completely unaffected?

After taking the picture and putting her phone back in her bag, Yan Sui sat down again, “I do.”

Jian Liyun didn’t realize that Yan Sui was answering her previous question, “What?”

Yan Sui looked at the calm river, “Liyun, do you believe in fate?”

Jian Liyun gripped her fishing rod tighter with her right hand, “I used to not believe it, but now I’m starting to.”

Maybe her life was destined to be a complete failure.

Yan Sui closed her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking in those few seconds.

“Our meeting was fate. It was my destiny to become your agent, to help you become a better actress, and to star in more and better films and TV shows.”

Jian Liyun felt her throat tighten.

Maybe five seconds passed, or maybe ten.

Jian Liyun finally spoke. She said calmly, “If this were a scene from a play, what you just said would sound a lot like a confession.”

The system let out a high-pitched shriek at this moment.

“Host, stop saying things that will cause misunderstandings. This is a romance novel. The supporting female lead is straight! She is straight!”
