16 Drinking leads to trouble
◎You mean I slept with you willingly?! ◎
Yan Sui put the toothbrush in her mouth, her pronunciation unclear: "But I don't want her to give it to me."
Jian Liyun paused, "Why don't you want to?"
Lu Shutian has left, and now I can speak freely.
This realization led Yan Sui to pour out all her thoughts like beans spilling from her mouth.
“Lu Shutian is terrifying,” Yan Sui continued brushing her teeth, “She forced me to drink.”
Jian Liyun frowned. "Is it inconvenient for you to refuse?"
It was really difficult to talk while the toothbrush was moving around in her mouth, so Yan Sui simply waited until she finished brushing her teeth and rinsed her mouth before continuing the previous topic.
Just as Yan Sui put the toothbrush into the cup, she heard Jian Liyun tell her to close her eyes.
Concern leads to confusion, and Jian Liyun was somewhat speechless at herself.
How could she forget to remove Yan Sui's makeup first?
At this moment, Yan Sui trusted Jian Liyun completely. She faced Jian Liyun and closed her eyes.
After wetting a cotton pad with makeup remover, Jian Liyun said softly, "Don't open your eyes for now, or the makeup remover will seep in."
Yan Sui hummed in agreement, like a kitten.
The cool cotton pad holding the makeup remover gently touched Yan Sui's cheek. As Yan Sui felt the cotton pad rubbing against her face, she continued the conversation.
"I couldn't refuse, because Director Kong wanted me to drink it too."
Jian Liyun asked in confusion, "But Lu Shutian isn't an artist in our company, so why is President Kong overseeing this?"
Yan Sui sighed, "Maybe it's always good to expand your network. Li Yun..."
Yan Sui didn't even realize how clingy she was when she called the other person's name.
Jian Liyun's hand trembled slightly, and she coughed lightly, "What's wrong?"
When you close your eyes, your hearing becomes exceptionally sensitive.
Yan Sui could tell that Jian Liyun was unnatural and nervous.
Drunk, she had long lost all reason and logic. She completely forgot what she had intended to say to Jian Liyun and chose to immediately comfort Jian Liyun instead.
"Li Yun, don't be afraid."
Jian Liyun composed herself and gently wiped away the other person's eyeshadow. "I wasn't scared."
"You lied to me again," Yan Sui said, somewhat displeased.
Before Jian Liyun could speak, Yan Sui felt relieved.
She said, word by word, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me the truth, anyway..."
Oh no, Jian Liyun's makeup removal technique is so *comfortable, Yan Sui feels like she's about to fall asleep standing up.
Jian Liyun, however, was a little impatient and pressed on, "Anyway what?"
The one who retorted was Yan Sui, and her tone was quite self-righteous, "What do you mean 'anyway'? Li Yun, what are you talking about?"
"It's what you just said..." Jian Liyun chuckled. Why was she arguing with a drunk person?
"fine."
Upon hearing the answer, Yan Sui began to rack her brains, which were starting to rust: "What did I just say? What did I just say?"
Jian Liyun coaxed the other person, "No, I remembered wrong."
Yan Sui took it seriously for no reason, "I definitely just said it, how could I forget?"
Helpless, Jian Liyun had no choice but to change the subject, "Don't open your mouth, I'm going to take off my lipstick."
Yan Sui obediently shut up.
Jian Liyun carefully wiped off her lipstick. Yan Sui's original lip color was rather light, which made her frown.
Feeling the cotton pad leave her lips, Yan Sui raised her hand, "Report, I remember now."
Jian Liyun found it both funny and coaxing to Yan Sui, "Okay, go ahead."
Yan Sui kept her eyes closed, but she accurately grasped Jian Liyun's hand.
It was a familiar, cool temperature.
Yan Sui gently stroked the other person's palm and said softly, "Anyway, as long as you feel happy, that's all that matters."
It only took Jian Liyun a few seconds from her heart racing to hearing her own heartbeat.
She felt a tightness in her throat and struggled to say, "Mmm."
Yan Sui continued with her eyes closed, "Whether you want to act well or love well, as long as you feel happy, that's enough."
Jian Liyun pulled her hand away, took a pure white towel from the metal rack, and then turned on the tap to wet the towel.
Undeterred by the lack of response, Yan Sui stood there, muttering, "But even if you like someone, you should like a good person... That He Chenyu is a real vampire, I don't understand why you like him so much."
The sound of rushing water was loud and clear.
Jian Liyun tried to explain, "I don't like him."
Yan Sui didn't hear her clearly, and she sighed to herself again, "Alright, if you like it, then like it. I can't stop you. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Go live the life you want to live. As for me, I'll do everything I can to help you become a better actress."
She wanted Jian Liyun to become a glamorous, award-winning actress who could act for many years—
Instead of people who choose to end their lives at a young age because of unrequited love.
Yan Sui has never truly possessed freedom, so she understands better than anyone how precious the freedom and happiness she has chosen are.
Jian Liyun turned off the tap and wrung out the wet towel.
A damp towel gently wiped Yan Sui's face, and Jian Liyun's voice was a little hoarse: "And you? Are you happy now?"
Yan Sui thought for a moment, "I don't deserve happiness."
The system, which was watching the conversation between the two, was going crazy.
This host is something else, so wary of Lu Shutian, how come he's so unguarded with Jian Liyun?!
Even if the goal is to save the female supporting character, Yan Sui is not from this world, so she can't say everything.
But when Yan Sui was drunk, she seemed to be able to say anything from the bottom of her heart to Jian Liyun.
Clearly, Yan Sui's answer did not satisfy Jian Liyun, who pressed further, "Why don't you deserve it? Sui Sui, is someone preventing you from being happy?"
Yan Sui's face was wiped clean, and she opened her eyes, her expression calm and undisturbed.
"I won't allow myself to be happy."
The woman spoke in a flat tone, as if discussing something as mundane as tomorrow's weather.
Jian Liyun wanted to ask why, but Yan Sui yawned, looking so sleepy she was about to collapse.
She had no choice but to give up.
The two returned to the bedroom, and Jian Liyun handed Yan Sui another set of beige pajamas, saying, "Change into your pajamas before you sleep."
Yan Sui took it, and then, in front of Jian Liyun—
She started taking off the rest of her clothes.
Yan Sui's movements were so natural and swift that Jian Liyun hadn't even had time to react before she saw a patch of skin on the other woman's chest.
She immediately turned around, her eyes filled with panic.
Even if they were the same sex, and even if they had a good relationship, how could Yan Sui so casually take off her clothes in front of her?!
While Jian Liyun was still struggling with her inner conflict, she heard Yan Sui calling her again.
“Li Yun,” Yan Sui said with a hint of frustration, “I’m dizzy and I can’t button my clothes.”
Jian Liyun turned around stiffly and saw that not only were several buttons on Yan Sui's shirt undone, but the ones that were buttoned were not aligned properly.
The person involved had already given up on taking the bait herself, and she waved to Jian Liyun, "Liyun, help me."
Jian Liyun let out a heavy sigh.
She resignedly walked over, first unbuttoning the tangled buttons, then fastening them for the other person one by one.
"I'm scared of you," Jian Liyun whispered.
Yan Sui ignored these words, lifted the covers and climbed into bed, completely unaware of whose bedroom or bed this was.
"Li Yun, goodnight."
Jian Liyun hummed in agreement, "Goodnight."
The system, which witnessed the whole thing, thought: "The host is sleeping in the same bed with the female supporting character again. Is this the world of romance novels? How shocking, haha."
The next morning.
Yan Sui was half asleep when she sensed movement on the other side of the bed, as if someone had gotten up.
She opened her eyes and found that Jian Liyun had just sat up.
How did I end up in your bed?
These were Yan Sui's first words upon waking up.
She was so shocked that she didn't notice that she had changed her clothes.
Jian Liyun tilted her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips.
"You came up here yourself."
Yan Sui was speechless for several seconds, then pointed to her face: "Me? You mean I climbed into your bed on my own? No, no..."
This is getting weirder and weirder!
Yan Sui hurriedly sat up, threw off the covers, and prepared to get out of bed.
Jian Liyun grabbed her hand: "Your slippers aren't on the edge of your bed."
Yan Sui could hardly hide the embarrassment on her face. She got out of bed from Jian Liyun's side, put on her slippers, and ran out the door.
"Why are you running?" Jian Liyun grabbed her, and Yan Sui was pulled back by the force, falling back onto the bed.
Looking at Yan Sui, who looked completely bewildered, Jian Liyun felt increasingly happy.
She teased, "Now you know you have to run away?"
Yan Sui remained silent, silently asking the system in her mind.
"System, what exactly did I do after I got drunk last night?!"
