59. Sui Sui, give up on me.
◎Her life cannot be relived◎
Yan Sui didn't speak.
Lu Shutian's index finger was still pressed against her lips, and she always felt that if she spoke, her tongue would accidentally touch the other person.
"My sister is as passive as ever."
Lu Shutian wasn't annoyed. She put one arm around Yan Sui's waist and used the other hand to hold the back of Yan Sui's head, silencing her with her mouth before Yan Sui could exclaim.
Lu Shutian tentatively stuck out her tongue, and Yan Sui didn't resist at all. Instead, she slightly loosened her teeth and let her in.
An indescribable, overwhelming sense of happiness filled Lu Shutian's chest. She closed her eyes and focused intently on deepening the kiss.
"Hmm..."
Yan Sui could hardly breathe. She tried to push the other person away, but Lu Shutian's hand around her waist tightened slightly. Lu Shutian pinched the soft flesh of her waist, and the delicate white skin on her waist was instantly pinched with a red mark. Yan Sui's body went limp, and she completely lost the initiative.
For a moment, Yan Sui thought she would drown in that wet and passionate kiss.
But she is still alive.
After the last of the oxygen in Yan Sui's lungs was used up, Lu Shutian finally ended the deep kiss with reluctance.
Their intertwined tongues separated, leaving a trail of saliva.
Yan Sui's face, already flushed from lack of oxygen and emotion, turned even redder. She couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, "You, you, I..."
Lu Shutian smiled smugly: "Oh, are you saying that my kissing technique wasn't good? It really wasn't. You can practice with me more in the future."
"You shameless person!" Yan Sui blushed and could only curse like that.
"What's the use of having a face? Would having a face let me kiss my sister?" Lu Shutian didn't care about any of that. "Having a face would let me taste my sister's..."
Yan Sui covered the other person's lips again, "Don't say anything."
She really wanted to find a hole and crawl into it.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have been soft-hearted just now, thinking of letting Lu Shutian have her fun just because she felt sorry for her.
Lu Shutian seemed to have had her fill of fun, while Yan Sui just wanted to escape the scene as soon as possible.
Lu Shutian licked Yan Sui's palm again.
Yan Sui gave me a look of utter defeat, quickly withdrew her hand, and got out of bed. "I'm going back now."
"You kissed me and then left? You're such a heartless scumbag," Lu Shutian said, sitting on the bed and sobbing. "I've been with you in your world for so long, and you can't even accept a kiss?"
Yan Sui realized she was starting to talk nonsense: "I didn't say you couldn't kiss, but this is going too far..."
"you?"
Lu Shutian's smile vanished. "You said the same thing to that wild woman?!"
Oops, I let it slip.
Yan Sui chose to answer a different question, saying, "I'm leaving now."
Lu Shutian quickly got out of bed and grabbed Yan Sui's wrist. "Where are you going? I haven't explained myself yet. Besides, you're my manager now—"
Lu Shutian gently stroked the delicate skin on Yan Sui's wrist with her fingertips. "So you have to take full responsibility for me."
Yan Sui forced herself to calm down. "Tian Tian, now is not the time to fool around. I really need to rest early today. I have to go back to the film crew first thing tomorrow morning."
"Am I being unreasonable?" Lu Shutian spread her hands. "I told my sister about the past and asked her for some compensation. Is that being unreasonable?"
Yan Sui was too lazy to argue with the other party anymore. She softened her voice and said, "Anyway, I really need to go back and rest. As for your schedule planning for your future career as an artist, I will take some time in the next few days to call a meeting with the other staff to discuss it."
When Yan Sui transmigrated into this world from the book, she was already planning for Jian Liyun's acting career, which is why she went to Jin Lan in advance, hoping that Jian Liyun's career could have better development.
Can--
Man proposes, God disposes. Yan Sui never imagined that Lu Shutian would one day become one of her artists.
Then she would need to review the original plot and plan for a better future for Lu Shutian.
After arguing with Lu Shutian for a while, Yan Sui finally returned to Jian Liyun's home.
Lying on the bed in Jian Liyun's bedroom, Yan Sui unconsciously touched her lips, as if she still had the illusion that she had been passionately entangled with a certain woman there.
No, no, no, Yan Sui, what kind of nonsense are you thinking about!
Yan Sui suddenly snapped back to reality, shook her head vigorously, and forced herself to pull herself out of that feeling.
She rolled around in bed several times before finally calming down.
The bed was wide, but Yan Sui still unconsciously curled up because she was alone at home, so she just cried out.
"system."
Three seconds passed, five seconds passed, and there was no response.
Yan Sui thought the other party hadn't heard her, so she repeated, "System, are you there?"
[Yan Sui, the transmigrator, is not currently using the low-level system.]
The answer she received was .001.
Yan Sui frowned. "Where did it go?"
.001按照系统交代给它的话一字一句道：【低阶系统让我转达：'宿主我之前因为借积分把上司揍了，上司现在来找我扯皮，我先跟它再打会儿架不用担心我，有什么事您就使唤.001爱您么么哒'。 】
Yan Sui was amused. "Alright then."
[Yan Sui, the transmigrator, is there anything you'd like to do? Perhaps I can help.]
Yan Sui hummed in agreement, "I want to see what Jian Liyun's fate is now."
In the game of chess between Jian Liyun and He Chenyu, she should ultimately emerge victorious; and Lu Shutian's old injuries have healed and her memories have been fully restored, which should also indirectly affect Jian Liyun's fate.
The scales of victory have completely tipped in their favor.
The sphere representing Jian Liyun's fate appeared before Yan Sui. This sphere of fate, which was shrouded in black mist when she first saw it, was now emitting a gentle white light. Although black threads could still be seen entwined inside, it was much better than before.
[Transmigrator Yan Sui, according to the data, the female supporting character Jian Liyun has an 80% chance of surviving. Please keep up the good work; once the probability reaches 100%, your mission will be complete.]
Yan Sui is now full of enthusiasm, "Okay! I will work hard!"
Yan Sui glanced at her phone; it was already midnight. She wasn't sure if Jian Liyun was resting.
Lu Shutian's announcement tonight that she has changed her management company will definitely be a trending topic. Given how quickly people in the industry can gossip, the crew will probably find out soon too.
Yan Sui opened her chat with Jian Liyun, and their conversation was still on the screen where Jian Liyun had told her to have fun.
As Yan Sui typed and deleted on the keyboard, she was still hesitating whether to send a message when Jian Liyun called her.
Yan Sui answered the phone, "Li Yun, are you still awake?"
A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Well, I originally wanted to text you, but I saw that the chat box kept showing 'typing,' so I thought I'd just call you directly."
Yan Sui hummed in agreement. "Did the filming go smoothly today?"
“It went very smoothly,” Jian Liyun said, changing the subject. “Sui Sui, I saw the video of Lu Shutian’s concert.”
Yan Sui's heart sank, and she could only manage a dry "oh".
"She came to our agency to be your artist, right?"
Jian Liyun's question was too direct, leaving Yan Sui no room to maneuver.
She spoke slowly: "...Yes. Director Kong also told me this news tonight."
Jian Liyun asked, "Did you only find out tonight?"
"Um."
The conversation grew increasingly silent, and Yan Sui felt she had to do something.
"I'm going back to the film set tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll buy it and bring it to you."
Jian Liyun's tone remained unchanged, "Sui Sui, I don't want to eat anything. I can manage on my own with the crew, you don't need to come and keep me company. Lu Shutian is now your new artist, you should have a lot of new work to do."
That makes sense, but Yan Sui would definitely not agree.
"No, I will definitely stay with you and finish filming this movie."
Jian Liyun remained calm and said indifferently, "Sui Sui, I also listened to the song that Lu Shutian sang in a wedding dress at the end of her concert."
Yan Sui had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Jian Liyun then said, "That song was sung for you, wasn't it?"
Yan Sui fell silent.
She didn't want to lie to Jian Liyun at this time, feeling that it wouldn't be fair to Jian Liyun.
“I don’t understand,” Jian Liyun seemed genuinely puzzled. “Judging from the lyrics, you two knew each other before? But Sui Sui, as far as I know, you and Lu Shutian had no prior connection.”
[Warning! Transmigrator Yan Sui, please do not let the female supporting character Jian Liyun discover the truth of this world.]
The .001 warning sounded, and Yan Sui quickly said, "I don't know it. Lyrics always have some artistic embellishment; you can't take them all seriously."
"Is that so?"
Even after the phone call ended, Yan Sui's heart was still pounding.
The next morning.
Yan Sui rushed to the film set early in the morning. At that time, Jian Liyun was still in the hotel. Yan Sui opened the door with her room card, while Jian Liyun had just changed her clothes and was sitting on the sofa next to the bed, scrolling through her phone.
Yan Sui was carrying a box of light breakfast. "Li Yun, you're awake. When are you going to the film set?"
Jian Liyun took the breakfast from Yan Sui. "We'll leave in an hour. Why are you here so early? What time did you wake up this morning?"
Yan Sui smiled but didn't answer: "It's okay, I've had enough sleep anyway. You should have breakfast first, I've already eaten at home."
Jian Liyun hummed in agreement.
After glancing at her phone a few more times, Jian Liyun finally placed it face down on the table.
Yan Sui asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"The director made some last-minute changes to the script for today's scenes last night. I can only get the paper version when I go to the set, so I'll take a look at the electronic version first to familiarize myself with it."
Director Jin Lan is incredibly efficient, able to keep the entire crew from working late into the night, but he is also very demanding and has many ideas, often requiring secondary adaptations and creative changes, and places extremely high demands on the actors' professional abilities.
"I see." Yan Sui nodded.
Jian Liyun took a bite of the boiled egg. "He Chenyu went back to the film set last night."
Yan Sui's expression immediately became more serious as she looked at Jian Liyun, waiting for her to continue.
"He still came to play chess with me, and this time he gave me a seven-stone handicap."
Yan Sui clutched her chest, still shaken: "Luckily, I prepared in advance this time and taught you a few more tricks."
Jian Liyun nodded: "Yes, the place he played was exactly the same as your prediction. After he finished playing, he asked me about my Go teacher, but I didn't tell him."
It seems He Chenyu is really anxious now.
Yan Sui pondered for a moment, "If he asks you this question again in the future, just say that I taught you to do it."
“No,” Jian Liyun refused without hesitation. “It would be dangerous for you. This is a personal matter between him and me; you don’t need to get involved.”
Yan Sui exclaimed, "Li Yun's affairs are my affairs! Okay, you eat breakfast first, and then I'll teach you the Seven Sons. This time, you don't need to understand or learn; just memorize the positions."
Since there was no Go board, Yan Sui could only download a Go app on her phone and teach Jian Liyun by pointing to the positions on it.
Jian Liyun quickly remembered that it was time for them to leave for the film set, but before leaving, Jian Liyun grabbed Yan Sui's arm.
She looked into Yan Sui's eyes and said, word by word, "Sui Sui, what if you find... that I'm not what you imagined?"
Will you abandon me? Will you hate me?
Some secret, wicked thoughts welled up in Jian Liyun's heart.
She thought that if Yan Sui chose to abandon her after learning the truth, she would cling to her tightly and not let her leave.
Why did Jian Liyun suddenly ask such a question?
Yan Sui felt a sudden unease, but she still comforted her, saying, "No matter what you are like, I will always be on your side—"
She thought for a moment, then changed her mind, "The word 'forever' is too vague, but at least in my lifetime, I will always stand by your side."
In the remaining two hundred-odd days of this world, Yan Sui will unconditionally stand by Jian Liyun's side.
Not as a transmigrator, but as Yan Sui.
Jian Liyun ultimately said nothing and silently opened the door.
Although she was in a bad mood, it did not affect Jian Liyun's acting. She still perfectly completed every scene required by the director.
Meanwhile, as Yan Sui watched Jian Liyun kicking at the camera in the distance, her phone rang.
Yan Sui learned two pieces of news:
1. Writer Luo Yanquan tragically died in a car accident yesterday while driving on a mountain road. The variety show she participated in recording with Jian Liyun and others may be postponed.
Second, the movie that Jian Liyun and He Chenyu previously collaborated on is suddenly set to be officially released the day after tomorrow without any publicity.
Yan Sui was already prepared for Luo Yanquan's passing, so she wasn't surprised; it was just that the movie was being released ahead of schedule...
This scene wasn't in the original novel.
In the original novel, the movie was released as scheduled, and the male lead, He Chenyu, became an overnight sensation because of it.
It seems that He Chenyu couldn't wait any longer.
"Card!"
As the director's voice faded, Jian Liyun's scene finally ended. She walked towards Yan Sui, who greeted Sister Wei, "Sister Wei, could you please touch up Liyun's makeup?"
"Okay." Sister Wei arrived carrying her makeup case.
The makeup artist lightly swept her face across Jian Liyun's face, and Yan Sui handed Jian Liyun's phone to her, saying, "Your phone was vibrating the whole time while you were filming, so someone must have sent you a message."
Jian Liyun nodded and took the phone. She had just unlocked it when she heard Director Jin Lan calling her.
"Jian Liyun, He Chenyu, come here for a moment. You two will have a scene together soon. The script has been revised, and I'd like to explain the new blocking to you."
Sister Wei quickly touched up Jian Liyun's makeup, and Jian Liyun handed her phone to Yan Sui and walked towards the director.
The phone screen was still glowing. Yan Sui was about to press the lock screen button when she heard .001 say:
[Transmigrator Yan Sui suggests you check the phone of the female supporting character, Jian Liyun.]
.001 never talks nonsense, so Yan Sui first silently apologized in her heart for invading Jian Liyun's privacy, and then began to check Jian Liyun's phone.
Upon opening her social media app, Yan Sui discovered that He Chenyu had sent Jian Liyun over a dozen messages.
[picture]
[video]
...
[Miss Jane, Dean Lei hasn't been doing well lately.]
[Let's talk again after filming wraps up for today.]
Yan Sui frowned. He Chenyu was also filming this morning, yet he still had time to send messages to Jian Liyun. Even when he was busy, he still found time to threaten Jian Liyun.
Yan Sui clicked on the picture. In the picture, a woman with gray hair and a messy hairstyle was lying on the hospital bed with a painful expression. Her limbs were bound with restraints, so even though she was in so much pain that she was covered in cold sweat and the veins in her neck were bulging, she was completely unable to move.
The woman in the video was in even greater pain. She uttered incoherent, meaningless words, but even if you didn't understand what she was saying, you could tell how much pain she was going through.
Is this... the director of an orphanage?
Yan Sui frowned; the old man looked to be in serious trouble.
Based on the information Jian Liyun had given her before, Yan Sui could deduce that He Chenyu wanted to use this as a threat to force Jian Liyun to reveal the matter of her Go teacher.
He Chenyu's shamelessness always manages to redefine Yan Sui's perception of him time and time again.
Silently pressing the screen-off button on her phone, Yan Sui asked in her mind, ".001, can you find Dean Lei's exact location now?"
[Transmigrator Yan Sui, if you seek this kind of help from a low-level system now, it definitely won't be able to help you.]
Yan Suizhen wanted to facepalm and smile wryly: "Why are you the only system? And you still have to subtly belittle the system. It hasn't done anything to you yet."
.001 paused: [This isn't meant to belittle Yan Sui, the transmigrator; I'm just stating the facts. I can find out Dean Lei's exact location. If you want to go see her, I can even keep your whereabouts secret from everyone.]
"Including female supporting characters, female lead, and male lead?" Yan Sui asked.
【certainly. 】
With a general plan in mind, Yan Sui decided to wait until Jian Liyun finished filming before discussing it with her.
Yan Sui never expected Jian Liyun to have this kind of attitude.
"You don't need to worry about this anymore."
Inside the hotel, Jian Liyun said casually as she took off her coat.
Yan Sui, who had just sat down on the sofa, jumped up abruptly. "How can I not care? He Chenyu has already threatened you like this. What if he really does harm Dean Lei?"
“Both she and he deserved their punishment, but Sui Sui, you shouldn’t have unnecessary blood on your hands.”
Jian Liyun had a cold and ruthless demeanor, which was completely different from the image Yan Sui had of her.
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
Jian Liyun was waiting for Yan Sui to get angry, waiting for Yan Sui to be disappointed in her.
But Yan Sui only asked, "Li Yun, if she really deserved what she got, why did you still let He Chenyu treat her?"
Jian Liyun still had her back to Yan Sui, saying, "Living is sometimes more painful than dying."
This is a punishment; Jian Liyun is punishing the other party, and also punishing herself.
Yan Sui walked up to Jian Liyun: "You're lying to me."
"And what about you?" Jian Liyun stared into Yan Sui's eyes. "Sui Sui, can you guarantee that you have never lied to me from beginning to end?"
The other party's question silenced Yan Sui.
This is bad.
Yan Sui thought to herself, "This is bad."
They clearly wanted to have a proper talk, but now the atmosphere has turned into a tense, war-torn place, with arguments about to erupt at any moment.
She softened her voice: "I did hide something from you, but I won't hurt you, Li Yun. I hope you can live a good life."
"Oh."
Jian Liyun chuckled.
She sat on the sofa, looking at Yan Sui who was standing awkwardly, and said, "Sui Sui, I actually had my doubts about you."
Yan Sui's breathing stopped.
Did Jian Liyun suspect her? Could it be that Jian Liyun has already realized the truth of this world and seen through Yan Sui's identity as a transmigrator?
Yan Sui's unease was practically written all over her face.
Jian Liyun looked away. "We've never crossed paths before, and our first meeting was just that of an artist and their manager. But the kindness you've shown me goes far beyond what a manager should show to their artist."
Yan Sui felt as if her throat was stuffed with a wad of water-soaked cotton, making it impossible for her to speak.
On the contrary, Jian Liyun's expression became even gentler. "Later, I asked you, and you said that all of this was predestined. I didn't agree at first, because in the things that were supposed to be predestined in my life, the 'predestined' things I encountered were all unfortunate."
It's like a person who's had terrible luck their whole life suddenly winning 50 million in the lottery.
The probability of this happening is extremely low, but Jian Liyun just happened to encounter it.
She didn't believe it; her instinctive suspicion was that Yan Sui had ulterior motives.
But what Yan Sui seems to want is simply for her to be free and happy.
Jian Liyun is adept at dealing with imperfect emotions, a mixture of love, hate, and malice.
But she didn't know how to face Yan Sui's pure and unadulterated love.
So while Jian Liyun was still confused, she had already fallen in love with Yan Sui.
Jian Liyun thought this was reasonable; no one could refuse Yan Sui's love, and neither could she.
But now, she has done something wrong and must pay the price.
If she could do it all over again, she would definitely...
But she didn't get a second chance at life.
Yan Sui sensed that something was wrong with the other person's mood, and she forced herself to say something: "Li Yun, this is not your fault."
Jian Liyun took a deep breath; although it was difficult, she had to say those words.
Before Jian Liyun could speak, her lips parted slightly, and Yan Sui rushed towards her and hugged her.
Yan Sui seemed even more upset and agitated than Li Yun herself. "Really, you were forced into it too. To get to where you are now, to become an excellent actress, Li Yun, you've already done an incredible job."
Jian Liyun thought that she couldn't let Yan Sui be dragged down with her.
Thinking of parting, his hands involuntarily wrapped around Yan Sui's waist.
Yan Sui's voice was slightly nasal, "Li Yun, I completely understand how tired you must be right now. But it's not your fault. He Chenyu is a scoundrel. He did terrible things and tried to drag you down with him. But..."
A warm tear fell onto Jian Liyun's neck and shoulder.
Yan Sui hugged her even tighter. "Li Yun, you won't fall into the abyss. You will live well, live freely and happily. Please believe me, okay?"
Jian Liyun's voice was very calm.
"Lu Shutian is currently riding high, and her second album will be released soon. I estimate that her career will reach new heights after that. Suisui, you are very smart, and you will definitely be able to plan her future career well."
"Li Yun, let's not talk about this now..."
Ignoring Yan Sui's words, Jian Liyun continued, "As an artist, Lu Shutian will definitely not let you down. As a lover, I think she will cherish you very much."
When her heart ached to the extreme, Jian Liyun's voice became calm.
She said calmly, "Sui Sui, give up on me."
[Author's Note]
My eyes are a little watery while writing this chapter. Little Jian is such a wonderful girl, and I'll share her past stories with you all later. [rainbow emoji]
P.S.: In the last chapter, I saw some readers discussing the system's identity, and I really wanted to spoil it for them, but I managed to hold back, haha.
In short, please read on! The plot will be very melodramatic and interesting (?), I believe you will all like it!
