15. The conflict begins
What to do when both of you are jealous?
Yan Sui woke up in a woman's arms.
She felt a tap on her shoulder, then opened her eyes and saw Lu Shutian with a gentle and sweet smile.
"Sister, we've arrived," Lu Shutian said softly.
Yan Sui stared blankly at Lu Shutian's expression for a few seconds.
Although she was so drunk that her consciousness was blurred, she clearly remembered that Lu Shutian seemed a little unhappy when she first got into the car.
How come the spring breeze is so gentle and warm again now?
The system, which had remained silent until now, chuckled: "Heh, this little brat has two faces, huh?"
Yan Sui looked out the window and realized that they had indeed arrived at the neighborhood where Jian Liyun lived.
The carriage was still dimly lit. Adhering to the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes, she silently fumbled for the handlebars, when her other hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Sister is really drunk, she can't even open the car door. Let me help you."
Lu Shutian opened the car door.
As soon as Yan Sui extended her right leg, the shift in her center of gravity made her feel dizzy.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have touched alcohol.
As Yan Sui slowly got out of the car and was about to close the door, someone put their arm around her waist.
"My sister is drunk now, she can't even walk properly, let me take her upstairs."
"No need," Yan Sui refused with difficulty.
Of course, Lu Shutian ignored Yan Sui's resistance.
Rather than ignoring her, it's more accurate to say that the more Yan Sui tried to distance herself from her, the more she wanted to get closer to her.
Lu Shutian pulled Yan Sui into her arms and said to the driver, who didn't dare to breathe, "Go to the parking lot and wait for me."
Seeing that her refusal was ineffective, Yan Sui simply remained silent.
Because of her intoxication, Yan Sui's logic was no longer as rigorous as usual. As Lu Shutian stumbled along, she was completely unaware that something was wrong.
When Lu Shutian asked her for the address before, she only gave the name of the community, but not the specific house number.
But Lu Shutian is now leading her correctly to the building where Jian Liyun is.
The system wanted to scream, but it held back.
What happened to the supposedly innocent and naive female lead? Turns out she's all bark and no bite.
Unfortunately, the system can't do anything right now, so all we can do is pray that Yan Sui doesn't say anything inappropriate.
The two entered the building and took the elevator to the floor where Jian Liyun lived.
Yan Sui remained silent throughout, and Lu Shutian lost all interest in trying to get information out of her.
There were only the two of them in the elevator. Lu Shutian pressed the number, looked at Yan Sui who was nestled obediently in her arms, and chuckled softly.
"Why are you being so well-behaved?"
Yan Sui was unaware that she had been praised. She pursed her lips tightly, her mind focused solely on not saying anything inappropriate.
Buzzing.
Yan Sui's phone vibrated in her bag. She fumbled for it and took it out. The caller ID on the screen clearly read "Li Yun".
"Hmm..."
Yan Sui narrowed her eyes, then remembered that Jian Liyun had said she was coming to pick her up.
Oh no, I forgot to contact Jian Liyun.
Several times before, when Jian Liyun got angry, Yan Sui didn't know how she had made her angry.
If I make her angry again this time, at least I'll know why Jian Liyun is angry.
Could this be considered a kind of progress?
...I'm really terrible.
Unable to console herself, Yan Sui sighed.
Before she could even answer the phone, Lu Shutian quickly hung up for her.
"My sister treats me differently. Why does she call me Li Yun, but I call her Miss Lu? This is not fair."
Yan Sui glanced at Lu Shutian, who seemed very aggrieved.
But she remained silent, simply extending her hand to signal the other person to return the phone to her.
Lu Shutian waved her phone in front of Yan Sui, and after successfully unlocking it with facial recognition, she fiddled with Yan Sui's phone for a few seconds.
Then, Lu Shutian's phone rang.
She smiled and put Yan Sui's phone back into the other woman's bag, then waved her own phone: "Sister, you must contact me often in the future. I'm always available."
Yan Sui's phone number had been saved as Lu Shutian's contact name by Lu Shutian, which Lu Shutian then changed to:
"The cutest Tian Tian"
bite.
The elevator has arrived.
Lu Shutian put her phone back in her bag, then put her arm around Yan Sui's waist again.
She pinched the soft flesh of the other person's waist, and Yan Sui trembled, losing her balance and falling into her arms.
Lu Shutian raised an eyebrow, and the two of them, still in this position, arrived at the door of Jian Liyun's house.
The tingling and numb feeling in her waist hadn't subsided yet. Yan Sui bit her lower lip, tried to stand up straight, and reached into her bag to take out the key to Jian Liyun's house.
Lu Shutian also realized her actions.
Lu Shutian then said with a smile, "You two have such a good relationship."
This person had a sweet smile, with two dimples appearing, but there wasn't a trace of a smile in her almond-shaped eyes.
Yan Sui felt like her bag was a bottomless pit; she groped around inside for a long time but couldn't find her key.
Lu Shutian took the initiative to knock on the door.
Almost the instant the knock was made, hurried footsteps could be heard from inside the room through the door.
Without a second thought, Jian Liyun opened the door. "Sui Sui, didn't you say you'd call me and I'd come pick you up..."
Her words came to an abrupt end.
Yan Sui was being held obediently in Lu Shutian's arms. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and her left hand was fiddling around in her bag, doing something unknown.
The smile on Jian Liyun's face vanished without a trace, as if by magic.
In Jian Liyun's blind spot, Lu Shutian's hand, which was supporting Yan Sui's waist, moved slightly behind her back, and then pinched her lightly.
Yan Sui was already unsteady on her feet, and after being pulled like that, she was practically thrown into the other person's arms.
Lu Shutian smiled sweetly and blinked innocently, "My sister drank a bit too much at the party tonight, and I was worried it wouldn't be safe for her to come back alone, so I brought her home."
What is the female lead muttering incoherently?
Yan Sui was so drunk in Lu Shutian's arms that she was completely out of her mind; all she knew was that she had to shut up.
Jian Liyun had a gloomy face. She wanted to take Yan Sui from Lu Shutian's arms, but the two were so intimate that she didn't even know where to start to separate them.
Lu Shutian offered with "enthusiasm," "Let me help her to bed."
Jian Liyun lowered her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she looked up again, all the emotions in her eyes had vanished.
She nodded slightly. "Okay, come with me."
Lu Shutian carried Yan Sui and followed Jian Liyun to a bedroom.
There is a large bed that is two meters wide in the bedroom, and two sets of beige pajamas are neatly arranged on the bed.
Lu Shutian's smile faltered.
Judging from the size and decor of this room, it doesn't seem to be a guest room.
As if she could read minds, Jian Liyun took the initiative to say, "Thank you for taking care of Sui Sui tonight."
Lu Shutian didn't answer, but just stared at Yan Sui, who was still in a daze.
Yan Sui was already sitting on the big bed. Jian Liyun gently took off her coat and called out, "Sui Sui".
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yan Sui seemed like a robot suddenly awakened. She nodded slowly and then reached out her hand.
Jian Liyun wrapped her arms around the other person's hands, her tone extremely gentle, "What's wrong, Sui Sui?"
Yan Sui's hand, which was wrapped up, moved slightly, and she called out slowly.
"Li Yun".
Jian Liyun didn't even realize that the corners of her mouth were turned up, and even her voice was filled with laughter, "What's wrong?"
Yan Sui hesitated, her pink lips trembling, before finally saying awkwardly after several seconds, "I'm sorry."
"Apologize for what?" Jian Liyun pressed.
Yan Sui wanted to explain, but one gaze was too intense; even though she was not fully conscious, she could still sense that person's gaze.
She looked up at the person who was looking at her—
That face looks so familiar.
Wait, isn't this the female lead, Lu Shutian?
The system's voice echoed in her mind just as perfectly.
[Lu Shutian is terrifying; Yan Sui shouldn't be spoken to carelessly!]
Yan Sui looked away and fell silent again.
This was the most rational thing she could do while drunk, but her action completely enraged Lu Shutian.
Lu Shutian had a sweet voice, and even her laughter was as sweet as honey. She smiled at Yan Sui and said casually, "Sister, do you really not want to talk to me?"
Yan Sui pursed her lips tightly, refusing to utter a single word.
Jian Liyun stepped forward and stood between the two. "Miss Lu, thank you for bringing Sui Sui back. It's getting late, and Sui Sui should rest too."
Lu Shutian tucked the strands of hair that fell to her cheek behind her ear, turned slightly to the side and bent down, and saw Yan Sui's face again.
She smiled and said, "Sister, we will meet again."
After speaking, Lu Shutian looked back at Jian Liyun, her eyes filled with utter contempt.
But his words were very polite: "Senior Jane, I look forward to seeing you on the show in the future."
After Lu Shutian left, Jian Liyun returned to her bedroom and saw Yan Sui sitting on the bed, nodding in agreement.
He looked incredibly tired.
Although Yan Sui was drunk and sleepy, she had excellent manners when drunk, sitting quietly on the bed without making a fuss.
Jian Liyun felt a pang of sadness and a swelling sensation in her heart, but when she saw the other person looking at her obediently, her heart softened completely.
She walked over and unconsciously patted the other person's head. "Let's go wash up first, then go to sleep, okay?"
Yan Sui stood up and followed her to the bathroom. Jian Liyun squeezed out the toothpaste and handed the toothbrush to Yan Sui, saying, "Brush your teeth first."
Yan Sui took the toothbrush, muttering, "I can squeeze the toothpaste myself."
Jian Liyun chuckled, "I just want to take care of you, is that not allowed?"
Yan Sui would agree to whatever the female supporting character said.
So Yan Sui nodded, "Okay," she paused, seemingly a little disappointed, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright." Jian Liyun forgave her without asking why.
Yan Sui shook her head, "I clearly made a promise with you that I would call you after the party and ask you to pick me up."
Jian Liyun's gaze darkened.
Her tone was unreadable, "It's okay, someone brought you back anyway."
