After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Crazy - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Didn’t Get the Tofu Yet

◎But ran into the female lead◎

“No.”

Jian Liyun answered flatly, but Yan Sui could tell at a glance that she was lying.

Yan Sui put down her corn. “You’re lying.”

Jian Liyun quickly adjusted her facial expression. She smiled like a spring breeze melting snow. “You’re mistaken. I’m not angry, and I’m not lying.”

The cold supporting female lead suddenly smiled as if snow was melting, which was a little eerie and terrifying. The system decided to play dead completely. It truly couldn’t figure out the characters in this world.

Yan Sui paused, then lowered her head and picked up her spoon to eat the steamed egg.

The steamed egg was soft, tender, and practically melted in her mouth. Yan Sui ate it spoonful after spoonful, and it was all gone in no time.

After the corn and steamed egg were completely finished, Yan Sui looked at the person opposite her. The woman with the cold face was wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

“You’re acting.”

Yan Sui’s sudden four words made Jian Liyun fail to react to her meaning right away.

Yan Sui finally continued the previous topic. “You’re angry, but you lied and said you weren’t, and you even acted like you didn’t care.”

“And,” Yan Sui continued, “I must have been the one who made you angry.”

Even Yan Sui didn’t know why the other person was angry.

Jian Liyun lowered her eyes, the faint smile that was there a moment ago completely gone.

She said softly, “I thought you wouldn’t continue this topic.”

Yan Sui shook her head. “We were eating just now. Don’t argue or cry during meals, or you won’t be able to eat.”

Yan Sui had witnessed this kind of thing too many times as a bystander.

Jian Liyun’s hands, which were resting on her thighs, clenched into fists.

She suddenly thought of something from her childhood.

“Coming back to the topic,” Yan Sui interrupted Jian Liyun’s thoughts. “So, Liyun, was my answer just now what made you angry? But I really don’t know what I did wrong. Can you tell me?”

Yan Sui didn’t know what she said wrong, but she knew for sure that there couldn’t be any misunderstandings between her and Jian Liyun.

But even though she said that, Jian Liyun remained silent.

“Liyun?”

Yan Sui called out softly again, but all she got was silence.

Jian Liyun suddenly stood up. “You said you were going to make fish soup for lunch today. Do you know how to clean a fish?”

Yan Sui pursed her lips and followed, grabbing the other person’s arm.

Jian Liyun turned her head to look at her, not saying a word.

“Don’t be like this,” Yan Sui blinked. “Let’s not be like this between us, okay?”

Jian Liyun finally gave in.

She said helplessly, “I’m not angry with you, Sui Sui.”

She was only angry with herself.

It had been a long time since someone was so good to her. Jian Liyun was like a drowning person, feeling that she had finally grabbed a lifeline.

But Jian Liyun now realized that Yan Sui was good to her not because Jian Liyun herself was special, and not because Yan Sui liked Jian Liyun, but because Yan Sui was inherently a very good person.

Whether it was Jian Liyun or someone else, whoever was Yan Sui’s artist, she would be just as good to them.

Jian Liyun felt a lump in her throat, and her face naturally didn’t look good.

But in the end, it wasn’t Yan Sui’s fault.

Yan Sui stared at Jian Liyun’s face for a long time before finally letting go. “Alright, as long as you’re not angry with me.”

The two of them went one after the other to the basin filled with fish. Yan Sui was about to grab the scissors. “I can clean fish, but I’m not very good at it. Sometimes I can’t get the guts out completely, but it’ll be fine if I wash it a few times.”

“I’ll do it.” Jian Liyun put on gloves first and skillfully grabbed a fish from the basin.

With a quick motion, the fish’s belly was cut open, and then she took out the guts.

Jian Liyun seemed to have no trouble at all and handled a few fish perfectly.

Looking at Jian Liyun’s expressionless face, Yan Sui sat on a small wooden stool on the side, resting her cheek on her hand. “After this, I should get you a script for a killer.”

She had a feeling that Jian Liyun playing this kind of role wasn’t her comfort zone, but her domain.

Jian Liyun took off her gloves. “I thought about it before, but my former agent said that since my debut work was a killer, playing too many of those roles might hurt my public image. Once was enough.”

Yan Sui scoffed. “And that’s why she’s not your agent anymore.”

Jian Liyun’s lips curved slightly upward. “Mhm, Sui Sui is the best.”

Yan Sui cleared her throat. “Not really. Anyway, I’m the most suitable agent for you.”

Although she didn’t know much about the entertainment industry or watch movies and TV shows in her original world, she had read this novel and knew which films and TV shows would be popular.

Jian Liyun’s acting skills were already great. All Yan Sui had to do was guide her to participate in these projects, and she would win all sorts of acting awards.

Jian Liyun turned on the faucet and seemed to sigh. “You’re always like this.”

Saying things that will cause misunderstandings.

An alarm went off in Yan Sui’s head. She immediately walked forward. “What’s wrong with me? Tell me what I’m doing wrong.”

Yan Sui was too eager and didn’t notice that the distance between them was now too intimate.

She was pressed against one side of Jian Liyun’s body. The woman’s body was soft and warm.

Jian Liyun’s body stiffened, but she didn’t move away. She just said flatly, “I just cleaned the fish. I smell like fish, and it’s bad.”

Yan Sui even rubbed against her arm. “No, you smell nice.”

Jian Liyun simply wrapped Yan Sui in a hug. The two of them were very close, and they could even hear each other’s breathing.

“Do I still smell nice now?” Jian Liyun leaned down and whispered in Yan Sui’s ear.

Yan Sui actually sniffed seriously. A faint scent of jasmine lingered around her nose.

She sniffed around like a puppy and finally found the source of the scent.

Yan Sui hooked a strand of the other person’s dark hair with her index finger and said seriously, “Your hair smells nice.”

Jian Liyun’s red lips parted slightly, but in the end, she said nothing. She let go of the embrace. The moment the other person left, she felt a sense of loss.

Yan Sui had no idea what was going on, so she found an excuse to leave. “I’ll go marinate the fish. You can rest for a bit. We’ll go to the field to pick cabbage later.”

“System,” Yan Sui whispered, picking and choosing from the seasoning bottles. “Can you check Jian Liyun’s anger level?”

Yan Sui remembered Lili once telling her that in novels with a system, some powerful systems could constantly check the protagonist’s blackening level, affection level, and so on.

So there should be an anger level, right?

“Host, the supporting female lead does have an anger level, but I told you before, I’m very weak right now and can’t check it. I don’t have permission to check any stats.”

Yan Sui sighed. “I know. I didn’t have much hope anyway. But if I can’t know her mood, I’m worried things will go wrong later.”

“Host, you don’t need to worry about that. I have a feeling the supporting female lead is already falling in love with you unilaterally.”

Yan Sui: “?”

“Why are you sighing? Don’t you know how to make a marinade?”

Jian Liyun walked over at some point and picked up a bottle of cooking wine.

Yan Sui came back to her senses. “I do.”

The two of them marinated the fish in silence. Yan Sui grabbed a sickle from the storage room and went out.

After walking on the country road for about twenty minutes, the two arrived at a field full of cabbages.

The cabbages were growing beautifully. They were not rotten and were not hollow. You could tell that the owner of this field was experienced.

Yan Sui picked up the sickle. “We only need to cut one.”

Jian Liyun stopped her. “The owner of this field…”

Yan Sui made an “oh” sound. “I had someone talk to the owner. We can pick whatever we want.”

The cabbages in this field were much bigger than the ones common in the city. After cutting one down, Yan Sui handed the sickle to Jian Liyun and picked up the nearly twenty-pound cabbage with both hands.

Even so, she found it a little strenuous.

“I’ll carry it,” Jian Liyun couldn’t watch anymore and wanted to help.

“No need,” Yan Sui pretended to be casual. “I can carry it.”

As a result of her bravado, the twenty-minute walk took Yan Sui thirty minutes to get home.

After putting the cabbage down, Yan Sui’s arms were finally free.

Jian Liyun chuckled. “I’ll cook later. Your hands are probably shaking too much to even chop vegetables.”

Yan Sui gave up on being tough. She rubbed her arm. “I should exercise more from now on.”

Jian Liyun walked over. “Do you want me to give you a massage?”

Yan Sui waved her hand. “No need. I have to go out for a bit. For lunch, we’ll make cabbage tofu fish head soup. I contacted someone yesterday to buy tofu, and they should be arriving at the village entrance soon. I have to go pick it up.”

Only then did Jian Liyun give up.

Rubbing her sore arms, Yan Sui slowly walked down the mountain.

She really liked this kind of leisurely rural life.

Yan Sui looked at the bright sun and blue sky, thinking that this was a novel with an entertainment industry theme, so no matter what, the supporting female lead Jian Liyun was ultimately destined to return to the world of fame and fortune.

Fortunately, it was still just the beginning, and there was a chance to turn everything around.

In the past few days of being alone with Jian Liyun, Yan Sui felt that she had gotten much closer to her.

After this, all she had to do was take Jian Liyun to see a psychologist so that Jian Liyun wouldn’t be so obsessed with the male lead…

Hmm?

Yan Sui slowed her steps.

In front of her was a downhill path, and at the bottom of the mountain path stood a woman with incredibly long legs.

Before Yan Sui could even marvel at the woman’s long legs, her mind went blank when she saw the other person’s face.

“System, am I seeing things? Why does that person look exactly like the female lead Lu Shutian?”

“Why would the female lead be here?!”

The system was also panicking, but it had no abilities right now and could only recall the original plot.

Yan Sui only slowed her steps, but she still walked down with an unchanged expression.

“Host, I checked. During this time in the original novel, the supporting female lead, the female lead, and the male lead were all supposed to be preparing for the start of that lifestyle show. Since the show’s recording has been postponed, the female lead’s actions are now unpredictable.”

While the person and the system were discussing, Yan Sui had already arrived next to Lu Shutian. She was about to walk past, but her wrist was grabbed.

“Sister.”
