24 Female Supporting Actress

◎Su Yanmei, Happy New Year.◎

It rarely rains in Shaoan City in winter. It has been cloudy for several days in a row, with drizzle floating in the air. The temperature has dropped sharply, bringing a damp chill.

The damp and sticky smell seems to cling to the skin, making people feel uncomfortable.

The heater was on in the living room. A woman was curled up on the sofa with her legs bent, her eyes slightly closed, feeling drowsy from the heat.

The book lay open on her lap. Her fingertips, pressing against the pages, gradually slipped, and the thin little book closed. As she drifted off, the book crashed to the ground.

Her fallen face was supported in time. The palm of that hand was so big that it almost covered her face.

The warm feeling of his cheek pressed against hers made Su Yanmei's curled eyelashes tremble slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes in the man's palm.

The man in front of her was very close, bending over to pick up a book that had fallen on the floor. When he looked up, he met the woman's eyes, which had just woken up and were slightly confused. A deep dark light flashed through his eyes behind the glasses. "It's easy to catch a cold sleeping here. Do you need me to get you a blanket?"

Su Yanmei shook her head.

"I'll go upstairs and sleep later."

She sat up straight, lifted her cheek from his palm, straightened her bent legs, walked around him, and got down from the other side of the sofa.

The living room was silent, and the two did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process.

After the night of confession, the deal of playing the role of substitute ended, and both parties tacitly avoided it. No one mentioned the unfinished kiss, which was not sure whether it was just for the role.

Fu Hanzhi held the book in his hand, and the palm of his hand seemed to still have a hint of the slippery touch. He stood up slightly and did not look back.

After standing there for a moment, he put the book on the coffee table and went to the study.

*

A few days before the Spring Festival, the continuous rainy days finally passed and the weather continued to clear up.

The base was bustling with activity and a festive atmosphere filled the air.

The people with special abilities in the villa gradually put down their work and planned to have a good rest.

During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Zhang did not come to the villa to cook, so she bought a lot of meat and flour in advance and made wontons and dumplings downstairs.

The idle psychics also came over to help.

Lu Jing stood aside, quietly kneading the dough and rolling it out. He was a little unfamiliar at first, but as each white dough piece took shape under the rolling pin, his movements became more and more skillful.

Ji Xuan had never done these things before. His face was covered with flour and the dumplings were made in strange shapes, but he was still smiling happily.

Rong Xingyin followed Su Yanmei closely, learning how to make dumplings from her. He seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he tried to make every one he made exquisite.

Ji Xuan looked at his own, then at the one Rong Xingyin packed, and curled his lips: "This is for eating, not for admiring."

Rong Xingyin didn't bother to pay attention to him. He counted out the dumplings he had made and planned to make some for Su Yanmei separately.

After working for half a day, Xu You and Fu Hanzhi came back from the research institute, changed into loose home clothes, and spontaneously joined the team.

When she was almost done wrapping, Su Yanmei left the center island and prepared to wash her hands in the sink.

She didn't know when the ground got wet, but her feet slipped on the wet tiles and she almost fell. Fortunately, Fu Hanzhi grabbed her in time.

The big hand covered with flour tightly wrapped around the delicate arm, and the scorching temperature seemed to be transmitted through the knitted fabric.

Things happened so fast that even Rong Xingyin didn't react. Fu Hanzhi even took three or two steps around Xu You to pull her.

Such nervous behavior was quite strange.

Even Xu You noticed something was wrong and asked, "Han Zhi, are you close to Miss Su?"

Fu Hanzhi did not respond.

After Su Yanmei stood firm, she brushed his hand away and took the initiative to explain, "I ran into Professor Fu twice before when I went to the study to look for books. I asked him some questions, but I'm not very familiar with him."

Her tone was too light, so Xu You didn't take it to heart and continued to focus on Lu Jing.

Only after Su Yanmei had safely passed away did Lu Jing silently take a step to the side and move the body that was about to support her.

Ji Xuan took the initiative to find a mop and cleaned up all the wetness on the floor.

The boy who had just taken off his apron didn't have time to pull Su Yanmei. He glanced at Fu Hanzhi who seemed nonchalant, and walked to the sink in two or three steps. He got close to the woman, saying all kinds of sweet words and acting coquettishly.

Ji Xuan felt a pang of pain in his teeth after hearing this.

Fu Hanzhi's movements of making dumplings gradually slowed down. He stared at his hands, slightly distracted.

Just when he noticed that Su Yanmei was about to fall, he almost subconsciously went over to grab her. At that moment, his heartbeat became disordered, and the pounding sound seemed to be beating against his eardrums.

He was clearly aware of his excessive attention to Su Yanmei and that he was nervous because of her.

This is inappropriate.

Nor should there be.

In the next few days, Fu Hanzhi, like he had done in the past week, tried his best to avoid meeting Su Yanmei. But every time he saw her, his eyes would linger on her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Even he himself did not notice that the dark, deep, and even dangerous eyes hidden behind the lenses were following the woman's figure closely.

She frowned slightly, opened her pink lips, and bit the food lightly. Even Fu Hanzhi wanted to be bitten by her, bite out bright red blood, and then slowly chew and swallow his flesh and blood.

Such a crazy idea made him lower his head, take off his glasses, and rub his eyebrows hard.

His eyes, which could not be hidden, and his increasingly uncontrollable appearance made Su Yanmei unhappy even when she was eating her favorite cream cake.

She thought he would be sensible.

After all, Fu Hanzhi in the original text is a self-disciplined and polite person. Even though he failed to confess his love to Xu You in the end, he still remained graceful and gave her his blessings.

However, the original ending is an open ending. After the end of the world, Lu Jing and Xu You accompany each other all the way, but the emotional line is not clear. The men around Xu You are even more loyal to her.

At the end of the original text, it is also subtly hinted that Xu You seems reluctant to give up on anyone, so he agrees for everyone to live together.

It's simply a happy ending for everyone.

The villain Fu Hanzhi was also influenced and became a member of the "harem group".

What is this like now?

Are you taking the role seriously?

This kind of attractive male beauty may look delicious, but it is not necessary to eat it.

It will obviously be troublesome to finish eating.

Su Yanmei scooped the cake with a spoon, her brows furrowed. She planned to find an opportunity to help the villain's love line.

…

On New Year's Eve, the base was extremely lively, with the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks rang out from time to time.

Except for Rong Xingyin who had to go to deliver some supplies temporarily, everyone else was in the villa.

Lu Jing and Xu You were cooking dumplings in the kitchen.

Today Xu You dressed up carefully. She put on foundation, brushed her eyelashes, applied lip gloss, curled her hair, and wore a woolen skirt that she rarely wore. It was a khaki plaid pattern and looked very fashionable.

Ji Xuan turned on the TV early, played a comedy movie disc, and turned up the volume in an attempt to create a lively New Year atmosphere.

Fu Hanzhi was choosing the drinks he would drink later at the bar.

Zhong Ran, who had not appeared in public for a long time, recovered his health and sat in the living room, looking at the closed door upstairs from time to time.

It was Su Yanmei's first time to celebrate New Year's Eve here. She was in high spirits. She drew her eyebrows and eyes, put on makeup and rouge, and curled the ends of her hair with a curling iron.

Her original body and hair were naturally curly.

After sitting in front of the dressing mirror for a while, Su Yanmei went to the closet to pick out clothes. Finally, she changed into a short white sweater with a one-shoulder neckline, paired it with a pair of blue jeans, and went out in fluffy cotton slippers.

The woman walked down the stairs slowly, her figure swaying gracefully, her natural charm and allure full of allure.

The simple clothes seemed to fit her figure perfectly, and her posture was lazy and charming with her every move.

Zhong Ran stared at her in a daze.

Ji Xuan wrinkled his coat unconsciously, and finally turned his head away with red eyes, no longer looking at her.

The woman went downstairs by herself. When she passed by the bar, Fu Hanzhi smiled slightly and greeted her as usual.

It was as if the vague loss of control and secret spying before had never existed.

Su Yanmei also smiled politely in response.

The long table was covered with a clean white tablecloth and was already filled with steaming dumplings. Xu Youxi came out with a smile on her face and was about to call them, but the moment she saw Su Yanmei, the smile on her face instantly faded.

Even though she was used to her bright and beautiful appearance, Xu You was still inevitably stunned when she saw the woman with makeup on. Her smile was a little forced, and she tried her best to keep the corners of her lips curved upwards, and she gently called everyone over.

On New Year's Eve, everyone gets together to eat dumplings.

Before the end of the world, people had the custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve and passing the time with various entertainment activities.

After the end of the world, the safe range of activities has shrunk, and even entertainment has become very limited.

Ji Xuan took out a deck of cards from somewhere. Su Yanmei didn't know the rules, so she just watched him, Xu You, and Fu Hanzhi playing Landlord.

After eating the dumplings, Lu Jing went upstairs.

Zhong Ran didn't stay in the dining room for long. He had just recovered and was still a little weak. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and had to go back to his room.

There were only four people left in the kitchen.

Su Yanmei watched them play from the side, and the loser had to drink a penalty drink.

I don’t know if it’s because of bad luck tonight, but Fu Hanzhi always gets the landlord card, and then lets Xu You win, and keeps forcing him to drink.

The man's face turned slightly red from the alcohol, causing Su Yanmei, who was originally concentrating on the card game, to glance at him calmly, her eyelids slightly lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

Perhaps because of the previous accident, Ji Xuan was very restrained in drinking, and coupled with his good luck, he remained clear-headed.

Xu You was obviously in a bad mood tonight. Thinking about how she had dressed up carefully since morning but didn't get any praise from Lu Jing, or even a brief glance, she felt very upset.

Therefore, no matter whether he won or lost, Xu You kept drinking.

Drinking like this, she quickly got drunk.

Fu Hanzhi was also drunk. When he was drinking as punishment, Su Yanmei pushed the wine glass to him intentionally or unintentionally. He mixed the strong and weak liquors together and drank them, which made his eyes red.

Su Yanmei also pretended to be in high spirits and "drank" a little.

Seeing her drinking, Ji Xuan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

Su Yanmei also clinked glasses with Fu Hanzhi sitting opposite her. The man, who was already a little drunk, drank a few more glasses of wine after hearing her soft and charming voice that seemed to be coaxing him.

Xu You, who was sitting next to Fu Hanzhi, fell directly on the table, and kept calling Lu Jing's name and complaining in a crying voice.

While someone was crying, the two people next to him were still drinking drunkenly. Ji Xuan was completely overwhelmed.

He snatched the wine glass from Su Yanmei's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't drink anymore. Behave yourself. I'll send Sister Xu back and come find you later."

"No more drinking!"

As he spoke, the young man pushed all the wine bottles in front of her towards Fu Hanzhi, then stood up, walked over in three or two steps, helped Xu You up, slightly bent his waist, put her arm on his shoulder, and dragged her away.

Halfway through the walk, Xu You drowsily opened her eyes and saw the familiar profile. She couldn't help but shed tears of grievance: "Axuan, even you don't like me anymore? Why didn't you come to see me for so long..."

Ji Xuan’s head suddenly became even more confused.

When the two finally staggered out of the kitchen, Su Yanmei, who was pretending to be drunk, quietly opened one eye.

She walked over quickly, put on the coat draped over the back of the chair as quickly as possible, held up Fu Hanzhi's face, and called out in a Xu You voice: "Hanzhi."

The woman's voice was imitated perfectly.

The two of them had the same curly hair today, and the upper half of their faces were similar. Xu You even specially brushed her eyelashes to make them curled exactly like Su Yanmei's.

If you don't look closely at the face, you might make a mistake.

She called him several times in Xu You's voice, and Fu Hanzhi slowly opened his eyes.

The man was drunk and his eyes were hazy. Su Yanmei deliberately snuggled into his arms. When he murmured Xiaoyou's name, she raised her head, closed her eyes, and sealed the kiss with a kiss.

Their lips touched, the woman's tongue tip hooked the gap between his lips, and Fu Hanzhi subconsciously opened his lips slightly to let her invade.

It was like falling into a sea of desire. Such a passionate and confusing kiss made Fu Hanzhi almost crazy, and the alcohol he had swallowed before seemed to be burning.

However, the next moment, the woman in his arms was pulled away by a great force.

When I tried to open my eyes, the figure of the young man and a corner of a familiar cashmere coat were vaguely reflected in my pupils.

The alcohol started to take effect and Fu Hanzhi passed out.

…

Ji Xuan was almost mad to death.

He had just sent Sister Xu back to her room, and when he came out he saw Su Yanmei acting drunk. Not only was she wearing Sister Xu's clothes, she was also kissing Fu Hanzhi.

Seeing that scene, Ji Xuan's scalp almost exploded.

He strode over, grabbed Su Yanmei without hesitation, picked her up, and carried her upstairs as quickly as possible.

Go upstairs, open the door, and throw it on the bed, all in one go.

Seeing the woman curl up spontaneously when she touched the soft quilt and slept peacefully, Ji Xuan was so angry that his beautiful silver-blue hair almost exploded.

He walked back and forth twice, and finally couldn't help himself. He walked to the bed, squatted down, and faced her sleeping pink face, angrily saying: "Kiss anyone, kiss anyone!"

"If I'm not here, what else do you want to do with Fu Hanzhi?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Ji Xuan pinched her face, and the smooth skin he touched made him unconsciously relax his strength.

"Stop drinking."

"You already have Rong Xingyin."

"Fu Hanzhi is not me. If you sleep with him, you will definitely be held responsible."

The young man muttered to himself, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally he hung his head, looking a little lonely.

As if she felt someone pinching her face, Su Yanmei frowned, opened her red lips and hummed softly.

Ji Xuan looked over when he heard the voice.

The woman had a charming face and tender skin. A light pinch would leave a reddish fingerprint. Ji Xuan immediately let go and quickly touched her.

Such patient caressing seemed to make the woman very comfortable, and she rubbed his palm from time to time.

Ji Xuan's heart was beating wildly, as if it had touched some heat source, so hot that he quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing that Xu You still had her coat on, Ji Xuan sighed and accepted his fate. He coaxed her gently while taking it off.

When the young man leaned over to help take off the other side of her coat, her arm, which was finally freed, hooked it around his neck, turned her body, and kissed his lips.

Ji Xuan was kissed so hard that he was in a trance.

It was not until he realized that the woman was pressing on him and biting his lips that Ji Xuan came to his senses. He was so nervous that his hands were sweating and he was a little at a loss.

Although he was being forcefully kissed, he seemed to be drunk and didn't have the strength to push her away.

The heart in my chest was beating fast.

Feeling the woman's touch, Ji Xuan was very flustered, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or something else.

After touching for a while, the drunken woman suddenly leaned over his chest, listened quietly, stroked his heart and smiled: "Your heart is beating so fast."

Her voice was soft and contained a smile. She didn't mean to tease him, but it made Ji Xuan blush.

Then, his face turned pale again.

Whose heart is beating fast?

Did he mistake him for Rong Xingyin again?

At that moment, he seemed to have finally mustered up the strength. He pushed Su Yanmei away, grabbed his coat, and fled.

The young man's mind was in a mess and he didn't even have time to close the door. He seemed to be in a panic.

It was a long time after he left that the drunk woman opened her eyes. She lay on the bed, without any hazy drunkenness in her eyes, only a clear look.

Su Yanmei sat up, smoothed her messy hair back, closed the door, and went to the bathroom to take a shower to wash off the smell of alcohol.

By the time she came out in her pajamas and finished blow-drying her hair, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Fireworks would occasionally light up outside the window, illuminating the dark sky for a moment, brilliant but short-lived.

At this time of year in previous years, she should be in Yujing Mountain. Except for the child who was far away in the capital, the other children would come to keep her company, sleep side by side, and listen to her stories.

Although she already has the body of a teenager, she likes to transform into a five or six-year-old child, and they all stick to her.

They were all children raised by their father. Most of the time, Su Yanmei would only visit them on their birthdays to avoid excessive entanglement from their father.

Su Yanmei was immersed in the memories of the past and almost didn't hear the knock on the door.

She went over and opened the door.

The tall young man stood outside the door, and compared to his usual expressionless face, he seemed a little embarrassed at this moment.

He put his hands in his pockets, and when he slowly pulled out his right hand, he took out a red envelope from his pocket.

"for you."

"New Year's money."

"I hope you will be safe every year."

He spoke seriously, but Su Yanmei found it novel and funny.

All in all, this was the first time she received New Year's money.

He had no parents when he was young and had a hard time surviving. When he grew up, he was no longer old enough to receive New Year's money.

In the past, she was the only one who prepared New Year’s money for children.

Now some people treat her like a child and give her red envelopes.

Su Yanmei took it with a smile and said thank you.

Lu Jing nodded.

Just at this moment, a large amount of fireworks and cheers were heard outside.

It's twelve o'clock.

It's a new year again.

The young man lowered his head and looked at her intently. The light from the corridor shone brightly in his eyes.

He said—

"Su Yanmei, Happy New Year."
