45. Is my bed big and soft?

◎Misaligned Chat◎

[Yan Sui, the transmigrator, the probability of what you're saying is very small—]

But it's not zero.

...001 is quick to respond when making sarcastic remarks.

Yan Sui, feeling heavy-hearted, was carried to the bed in the bedroom by Lu Shutian, who then asked her a question.

"Sister, isn't my bed big and soft?"

Yan Sui gave an awkward laugh, "Yes."

Lu Shutian took off her trench coat.

Is it coming soon?!

Yan Sui mentally called out to the two systems again, "I have a question, which one should take the initiative in this kind of thing, me or..."

Yan Sui didn't finish her question.

Because she saw Lu Shutian take off her trench coat and then take a light yellow woolen coat from the closet, and then take out a white coat of the same style but a different color from it.

Yan Sui watched as the other person walked towards her, and then put her coat back on.

"Wait, no need for that, I can do it myself."

Seeing that Lu Shutian had taken out a pair of coral fleece socks from the closet drawer after putting her coat on, Yan Sui quickly spoke up to stop her.

Lu Shutian remained silent, knelt down on one knee, and put socks on Yan Sui.

"Was it really uncomfortable just now?" She had already put her socks on, but Lu Shutian remained in that position.

It was quite uncomfortable, but it was completely within Yan Sui's tolerance range; she was a very pain-tolerant person.

"It's alright," Yan Sui said, believing it to be the truth.

"You didn't even have time to change out of your slippers before you came to my house," Lu Shutian said, her words growing faster. "And you say you're not feeling unwell?"

Yan Sui fell silent.

Lu Shutian sighed, "Never mind, I'll carry you to eat first."

Seeing that the other person was about to pick her up again, Yan Sui pushed her away, "No need, I have regained my strength now, I can walk by myself."

Why do both the female lead and the supporting female character like to hug her at home so much?

Lu Shutian refused outright, "Sister, you get out of breath after just a few words, so it's best to avoid walking."

Lu Shutian picked up Yan Sui in her arms steadily, but after taking only a few steps, she said through gritted teeth, "How did Jian Liyun raise you? You're so thin you barely weigh any meat. A gust of wind could blow you over."

Yan Sui couldn't help but retort, "I'm not that thin... I eat a lot, much more than Li Yun."

The two arrived at the restaurant, and Lu Shutian brought out the nutritional meal boxes one by one to the table, saying, "Eat a little of everything to supplement your nutrition."

Although she knew that Yan Sui's current condition could not be improved simply by eating.

The lunchbox keeps food warm very well; it's still piping hot even now after being stored for a long time.

Yan Sui scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg. "Delicious."

Lu Shutian poked at the innocent rice in her bowl with her chopsticks; she had absolutely no appetite.

Yan Sui felt full after eating only a small bowl of rice, probably a side effect of the backlash, which also reduced her appetite considerably.

Lu Shutian barely touched her chopsticks. After Yan Sui finished eating, she haphazardly ate the rice in her bowl. "I'll carry you to wash up, and then we can sit in the living room for a while before you go to sleep."

If you rest immediately, your stomach will feel uncomfortable after eating.

Yan Sui nodded, "Okay, but my toiletries..."

She thought she hadn't brought it with her since she left in a hurry, so she suggested ordering online delivery.

Lu Shutian picked her up. "No need, I've already prepared it."

[Host, I feel like the female lead has prepared everything she should and shouldn't have prepared.]

The system spoke in a low, somber tone, and Yan Sui did not deny it.

The two went to the bathroom. Lu Shutian put Yan Sui down and first put away all the existing toiletries. Then, as if by magic, in less than half a minute, the couple's toiletries were neatly arranged on the sink.

Yan Sui looked at the two oddly shaped wash cups twisted together like braids: "...When did you buy these?"

Lu Shutian handed the toothbrush to Yan Sui and squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush, saying, "I know the day you came into this world."

So early?

Yan Sui didn't know how to respond, so she could only brush her teeth in silence.

After the two finished washing up, before Lu Shutian could even speak, Yan Sui proactively opened her arms, indicating that the other person should hug her.

"All you know is to make me serve you." Lu Shutian snorted lightly, but still honestly picked up the other person.

Yan Sui muttered to herself, "If I want to leave by myself, will you let me?"

"No," Lu Shutian replied decisively.

That solves the problem.

The two sat down on the sofa, and Yan Sui leaned against the corner looking listless, her eyes half-closed.

Lu Shutian brought a cashmere blanket and covered her with it. "Besides vomiting blood, are there any other punishments?"

Yan Sui truthfully replied, "My body will become weaker, and my physical strength will decrease."

Lu Shutian sneered, "Yes, that's something you can see with the naked eye."

"What is this?" Yan Sui said with some dissatisfaction. "I answered your question properly, and you still made sarcastic remarks."

She was so weak she wanted to disappear from the face of the earth, yet Lu Shutian still found fault with her.

Lu Shutian clicked her tongue. "Sister, that's not what I meant. It's just... never mind."

The two looked at each other in silence.

Yan Sui appeared to be spacing out, but in reality, she was communicating with two systems.

".001, how is Jian Liyun now?"

[Yan Sui, the transmigrator and supporting female character, is perfectly fine now. You should be worried about how you'll carry out your missions, given your current fragile body.]

".001, can you please stop being so sarcastic?" Yan Sui said helplessly. "System, please show me Jian Liyun's ending now."

[Yes, host!]

A ball suddenly appeared, hovering in front of Yan Sui and Lu Shutian, but only Yan Sui could see it.

Yan Sui's breath hitched—

The ball, which was originally pure black, is now half white!

But it's not a clear-cut half white and half black; rather, black and white are intertwined, with each containing the other.

.001 Very satisfied. [Transmigrator Yan Sui, this proves that the barrier you created for the female supporting character not only played a crucial protective role, but also increased her chances of surviving in the ending.]

The system also added, "[Host, the female supporting character now has a 50% chance of surviving in the ending.]"

Although it hasn't completely changed the outcome, it's still good news.

Yan Sui thought for a moment, "But my current physical condition probably won't allow me to perform tasks as well as before. Is there any way to help my body recover quickly?"

..001 finally caught up on what he hadn't said before.

[Yes, but I don't recommend it. Your mission originally had no time limit. If you want your body to fully recover, I can do it, but the price is that your lifespan in this world will be limited to only 300 days.]

The system exclaimed in horror, "That's absolutely unacceptable! Host, you can't do that. Even if you don't complete your mission in this world, you can still live in this world. But if you fail the mission and return to your original world, you will still die in the car accident. You won't be able to survive in either world."

...001 unusually formed a united front with the system.

Yes, as the lower-level system stated, I also advise you not to do that.

Yan Sui, however, was determined. ".001, do this for me."

The system was frantic, like a cat on a hot tin roof. [Host, you really can't do this! You also need to think about the female supporting character and the female lead. If you're no longer in this world, they'll probably break down too.]

“No,” Yan Sui said calmly. “Parting may be painful, but everyone will eventually accept it.”

That's just how she is.

Yan Sui was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that Lu Shutian had already noticed her unusual behavior.

She continued communicating with the two systems in her mind: "I've thought about it, and I know I have to do this. Listen to me first."

"Today, the male lead attacked the female supporting character, but why would he do that? Before, the male lead's way of acquiring the female supporting character's luck value was always a secretive and gradual process."

By playing chess with Jian Liyun and working with her on scripts and rehearsals, He Chenyu was able to gain a small portion of Jian Liyun's luck points each time.

Little by little, it adds up to a terrifying amount in the end.

He Chenyu must have originally intended to do just that.

"Because the male protagonist discovered that the female supporting character's chess style and chess skills had completely changed, he realized that he might not be able to defeat her on the chessboard, and the inability to win in the game would have a great impact on him, even on whether his ultimate goal could be successfully achieved."

Yan Sui shifted to a more comfortable position and continued to ask and answer her own questions in her mind, "But even so, he doesn't need to be in such a hurry. He should have a certain advantage in this struggle. Even if he can't win the game, he can still acquire luck points through other means, although it might be slower. Moreover, besides the female supporting character, he can also acquire the female lead's luck points."

"But this is a second-runway world after all. The female protagonist is injured, so he must have been weakened as well."

"But in general, the reason the male protagonist was in such a hurry and so impulsive this time is simply because playing chess with Jian Liyun to gain luck points is the fastest way for him to achieve his goal. Now, the plan has encountered an unexpected situation, but—"

Yan Sui pointed out incisively, "The male lead has a time limit to complete his mission. The plan cannot proceed smoothly, and he cannot complete his goal within the remaining time, so he resorts to this desperate measure, preferring to be aggressive in order to gain the female supporting character's luck points."

"The male lead is so aggressive, he'll definitely cause all sorts of trouble later on, and I absolutely can't handle it in my current physical condition. So, .001, please help me restore my body to normal, even if it costs me my life."

【Host, what you said makes a lot of sense... No, anyway, you can't do that. What kind of host would risk their life on a mission?】

Yan Sui ignored the system and asked .001, ".001, am I right? You probably know more about the truth of this world than I do or the system does, right?"

[Transmigrator Yan Sui, due to the rules, I cannot answer your question. But... you are very intelligent.]

.001 refused to answer, but what they said was no different from an answer.

It was astonished by Yan Sui's intelligence; she had deduced the male lead's current situation and true intentions without even having any contact with him that day.

Yan Sui gave a forced smile, "Alright, help me recover my physical condition."

[Transmigrated Yan Sui, it's probably not possible now. This process will be very painful for you, and it will last for an hour. If you do this in front of the female lead, you're likely to be exposed.]

Yan Sui thought for a moment, "Okay, then I'll find a time."

After the two people had finished their conversation, Lu Shutian seemed to have a mind-reading ability and spoke up quietly.

"Sister, are you chatting with the system?"

Yan Sui's heart, which was already extremely weak, pounded several times after hearing Lu Shutian's words.

The discomfort made her instinctively clutch her chest, staring at Lu Shutian in shock, "You, you..."

How did you know?

Lu Shutian pointed directly to a spot in the air, which was the direction of the sphere that had just represented Jian Liyun's fate.

"It was just here, and you were talking to it."

Lu Shutian spoke with certainty.

Luckily, I guessed right, but not completely right.

Yan Sui asked sheepishly, "How did you figure that out?"

She thought she had covered it up well.

Lu Shutian smiled but remained silent. She scooped up Yan Sui, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, and pulled her into her arms. "Why are you so far away from me, sister? Do I look like I'm going to eat someone?"

Yan Sui remained silent, her face conveying three distinct thoughts.

"Otherwise what?"

Lu Shutian pinched Yan Sui's arm, but the sensation wasn't good through the fabric, so she simply reached inside and caressed the delicate skin on the other's waist.

Yan Sui shuddered in fright.

Unlike Jian Liyun, whose hands are always cold, Lu Shutian's hands are very warm, especially her palms, which are so hot that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as burning.

Lu Shutian complained, "My sister's body is as cold as ice."

Yan Sui retorted, "It's you who's as hot as a furnace."

"Sister's back to normal? She even has the energy to argue with me now. Since she's back, how about we do something..."

"It's not recovered!" Yan Sui interrupted hastily, startled. "I still feel a bit tired."

Grabbing Yan Sui's slender wrist, Lu Shutian bit it in a fit of anger.

Faint teeth marks were left on her wrist. Yan Sui murmured, but ultimately remained silent.

She really wanted to ask if Lu Shutian's true form was a puppy that loved to bite people.

Lu Shutian stretched her wrist out in front of the other person, "I bit you, and I'll let you bite me back. I won't let you suffer."

Yan Sui turned her head away, "No."

She doesn't have a penchant for biting people right now.

Lu Shutian reluctantly withdrew her hand and continued the previous topic, "So what were you talking about with the system just now?"

Yan Sui's voice was a little soft, "Let's talk about He Chenyu's intentions."

“What could his intentions be?” Lu Shutian scoffed. “A bloodsucker with no moral bottom line, only thinking about sucking the flesh and blood of others in an attempt to ascend to heaven.”

Yan Sui nodded slightly in agreement.

Lu Shutian suddenly leaned closer, kissed Yan Sui's lips, and whispered, "And then? Did you two still talk about that wild woman?"

Yan Sui seemed to have made up her mind, "Tian Tian."

Lu Shutian nudged the other person's cheek with the tip of her nose, "Sister, you say it."

With the lingering warmth of Lu Shutian still on her lips, Yan Sui said solemnly, "It's one thing for you to talk nonsense when it's just the two of us. But you absolutely cannot say such things about Li Yun in public."

"Sister, give me a kiss and I'll think about it carefully."

"You only 'consider' a kiss?" Yan Sui chuckled. "That doesn't sound like a worthwhile deal."

Lu Shutian said seriously, "Because the cost of coaxing me has increased now."

Yan Sui kissed Lu Shutian's cheek, and when she saw the other's dissatisfied look, she gently patted the other's face with the back of her hand, "If you keep pushing your luck, I'll really get angry."

Lu Shutian's eyes were glazed over from the slap. "Then get angry, sister."

"I really don't understand you." Yan Sui was utterly speechless.

Before Lu Shutian could speak, Yan Sui sighed again, "I did talk to the system about Li Yun just now. As the one tasked with saving her, I want to complete this mission as perfectly as possible. But—"

Yan Sui changed the subject, "I won't give up on you either."

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Shutian's eyes, but her expression immediately turned strange.

“Sister,” Lu Shutian’s tone was unreadable, neither happy nor angry, “you’re so shameless in being a scumbag.”

"However, it's not that I can't accept it."

But she wants to be the official wife; the one who isn't favored is the mistress.

Lu Shutian thought she would try her best not to become a mistress.

Yan Sui was completely dumbfounded:

ah?

What kind of "scumbag woman"?

What is all this about?

Yan Sui was unaware that the two of them were chatting on completely different frequencies. She tried her best to explain, "I'm serious, Tian Tian. You said I was the one you chose from among thousands of souls. Although due to some unforeseen circumstances, I couldn't save you as my first choice, I will not give up on you. I hope you and Li Yun can be happy."

Lu Shutian shook her head. "Sister, if you put these words online, everyone will call you a scumbag. I hope we can all be happy, but can we really do that? If you love someone so much, how can you bear to share that love with someone else? But... I'm a very magnanimous person. Sister, if you beg a little, maybe I'll put up with it?"

Yan Sui finally understood what Lu Shutian was thinking, and she was speechless with emotion.

“Tian Tian,” Yan Sui sighed, “can’t you think of anything else besides love and romance?”

“It’s not about love and romance,” Lu Shutian retorted seriously, “it’s that my mind is full of my sister.”

Yan Sui was immune to sweet talk, so she suddenly changed the subject.

"Could you tell me in detail how you spent your time after the first playthrough ended?"

She wanted to know exactly at what point Lu Shutian lost her memory.

Lu Shutian stood up and beckoned to Yan Sui with her finger, "Sister, let's go to bed and talk."

[Host, before you get into bed, why don't you check if the female lead has any red ginseng drink? Drink some, otherwise you really won't be able to hold on later.]

The system offered sincere suggestions.

Yan Sui didn't have the face to bring it up. She didn't move and said, "Carry me to the bedroom."

Lu Shutian was pleased to be ordered around. "Yes, ma'am."

Lu Shutian's bed looks like...

It's definitely softer than Jian Liyun's bed.

Lying on the large bed, Yan Sui thought of something inappropriate.

Lu Shutian blinked, then said to Yan Sui, "Turn your back to me."

Yan Sui was puzzled, but she still obediently did as she was told.

"Hmm!"

Someone grabbed her waist and pulled her into their arms, while at the same time, their legs wrapped around hers.

Okay, now Lu Shutian doesn't look like a puppy anymore, she looks like a snake.

Yan Sui changed her animal sculpture of Lu Shutian again, "Why do you do this?"

"Anyway, you don't want to see me, sister," Lu Shutian said, sounding aggrieved.

Yan Sui became anxious: "I didn't! You keep accusing me like this."

Lu Shutian didn't care about all that. She said slowly, "Whether I'm wronged or not, I know in my heart. Alright, since you've been so well-behaved and pitiful today, I'll tell you what happened after the first timeline ended."

Yan Sui unconsciously held her breath.

Lu Shutian smiled and patted Yan Sui's bottom. "Breathe, sister, your body is stiff."

A blush finally crept onto Yan Sui's pale face. "What, what are you doing!"

As far back as she can remember, even her mother never spanked her!

Lu Shutian's tone was innocent and natural, "Remind your sister to breathe. Don't be nervous, what I'm about to say isn't anything dramatic."

“At that time, I awakened to my true nature. Jian Liyun committed suicide because of love, and I forcibly killed He Chenyu. The world began to collapse. At this time, the world consciousness also appeared and asked me what I was dissatisfied with.”

Lu Shutian buried her face in Yan Sui's neck and shoulder and took another deep breath.

Sister smells so good, I want to lick her.

Suppressing the thought, Lu Shutian continued, "I've told you before that as the female lead of this world, the gifts the world has given me are not what I want. Take He Chenyu for example, I don't like men at all, and I don't need this so-called 'official pairing'."

"It was only then that the world consciousness realized that I was not just the female protagonist of this world, but the main character. And whoever I like can become another main character in this world."

Yan Sui fell into thought, realizing that Lu Shutian's importance to this world was actually quite significant.

Seeing that Yan Sui didn't speak, Lu Shutian patted the other's very bouncy bottom as if she were addicted, "Sister?"

Yan Sui was furious and embarrassed. "If you have something to say, just call me. Don't spank me!"

"Hehe, definitely next time." Lu Shutian continued with a grin, "To make it up to me, the world consciousness said I could choose a soul I like to come here and save the world. Among all the souls, I saw yours at a glance. It was bright, gentle, and warm."

"I love so much."

Yan Sui hummed in agreement. "So you chose my soul. And then what?"

Lu Shutian frowned. "After that, I can't remember much. Because the world was restarting, I fell into a deep sleep for a while. When I woke up again, I had started the second cycle of the world."

"The world consciousness told me that in the second timeline, there won't be such a big problem as in the first timeline. I won't be forced to be tied to He Chenyu anymore. As long as we are both safe and sound, even if we are not together, this world will not collapse."

Yan Sui found it strange, "If that's the case, why are you still thinking about killing He Chenyu?"

"hiss--"

Yan Sui realized what she meant as soon as she finished speaking, "Because He Chenyu is too evil. Even if you do nothing, he still wants to harm you and Li Yun?"

Lu Shutian didn't say anything, but simply kissed Yan Sui on the back of the neck.

"Killing the so-called male protagonist is, to some extent, going against the will of heaven in this world." Lu Shutian's tone was gentle, but her words were icy cold. "However, it is not impossible, but it will come at a price. It is fortunate that He Chenyu is a complete fool. He was complacent and thought he was making a step-by-step plan, but in fact he was courting his own destruction."

Yan Sui also realized what was going on, "So... you don't think that Li Yun and He Chenyu are on the same side, do you?"

"Otherwise what? Without you, who else would spoil that muddle-headed wild woman, Jian Liyun, like this?"

Yan Sui turned over, and the two were so close that their noses would occasionally touch.

She nudged Lu Shutian's shoulder. "Li Yun isn't what you think. Although I can't be very specific, she's also a victim. Shutian, let's take care of He Chenyu together. I promise, after that, you and Li Yun can live freely and happily in this world."

“How can I be happy if I have to share my lover with some wild woman?” Lu Shutian was already lost in her own thoughts. “But now that you’re protecting that wild woman so much, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her anymore.”

“Let’s get rid of He Chenyu first,” Lu Shutian pinched Yan Sui’s cheek, which felt wonderful, “then we can talk about the three of us. But before that, you can’t let any more wild women touch you.”

Even physical contact is not allowed?

Even in normal social interactions, the two of them would inevitably run into each other.

Yan Sui frowned. "Tian Tian, ​​your request is too... a bit difficult to fulfill."

Lu Shutian's face darkened. "You really can't resist? Is she really that good? Once you've recovered, try me. I can make you happier than her."

The car wheels ran over Yan Sui's face before she finally realized the other person's intentions.

She stammered, "No, no, I didn't do that kind of thing with Li Yun."

Lu Shutian didn't believe a word Yan Sui said. "Oh, so you mean that although you sleep together every night, you don't actually do anything, you just discuss work and life ideals in bed?"

Lu Shutian was right.

Yan Sui nodded emphatically*, “Tian Tian, ​​you’re so smart.”

Lu Shutian was speechless. "Sister, even if you're trying to fool me, at least... never mind. It's getting late, you should rest first. Are you going to join the Wild Woman's group tomorrow?"

“Yes,” Yan Sui sighed, “I don’t even know if I’ll be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning. You have to wake me up. He Chenyu will be in Li Yun’s film crew, and I have to go.”

A guilty look flashed across Lu Shutian's face, because it was indeed she who had arranged for He Chenyu to join Jinlan's film crew.

But at that time she thought Jian Liyun was a complete simp and love-struck fool. Ignorance is no excuse!

Having calmed herself down, Lu Shutian agreed, "Okay, I'll wake you up tomorrow. Go to sleep."

Although Yan Sui wasn't very sleepy at the time, every cell in her body was screaming for rest. She closed her eyes, and soon her breathing became even, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Buzzing.

Yan Sui's fully charged phone, which was on her bedside table, began to vibrate.

Lu Shutian was still awake. She tiptoed out of bed, grabbed her phone, and left the room.

The caller ID displayed was: "Li Yun"

Upon seeing these two words, a thought flashed through Lu Shutian's mind in a split second.

Since Yan Sui will be punished with vomiting blood this time for breaking the barrier, then what about the time she had a nosebleed in Jian Liyun's car last time...?

Was it also because he wanted to protect Jian Liyun?!

The thought struck her heart like a heavy hammer, and Lu Shutian really wanted to shake Yan Sui awake right now and question her.

"My sister needs to rest now. I need to calm down, calm down."

Lu Shutian's eyes were red, and her violently heaving chest gradually calmed down.

With a cold expression, she pressed the call button.

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sui Sui, are you home yet? I called you earlier, but your phone was off. Is it charged now?"

Calm down my ass.

Lu Shutian said in a sweet tone, "Senior Jian, my sister is asleep now, so I answered the phone for her."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone for several seconds.

Jian Liyun's tone was no longer as gentle as before, "Miss Lu, where are you now?"

Lu Shutian smiled and said, "It's at my house."

But Yan Sui clearly said she was going home...

Jian Liyun knew she shouldn't deceive herself anymore.

When she returned, she saw that Yan Sui hadn't taken her packed suitcase and hadn't even changed her shoes, and Jian Liyun had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

But she still chose to believe in Yan Sui.

But in reality—

Jian Liyun remained silent, and Lu Shutian continued on her own, "Senior Jian, my sister is very tired right now, so she went to bed early. If there's anything you need, you can tell me first, and I'll talk to her tomorrow morning."

[Author's Note]

What a cliché misunderstanding! I love this kind of plot, hehehehe [evil laugh]
