The 8th female supporting character and the female lead officially meet.
◎Female supporting character: I'm not angry at all (smiles)◎
In this situation, it wouldn't be good to pretend nothing happened.
So Yan Sui stopped and pointed to herself with her index finger: "Are you calling me?"
Lu Shutian smiled, revealing two small dimples. "Of course, Sister Yan Sui."
Yan Sui smiled politely: "Do we know each other?"
Everyone in the industry knows Lu Shutian, who suddenly appeared on the scene this year, but Yan Sui instinctively felt that it was best for her to have less contact with the female lead right now.
Unfortunately, the female lead herself doesn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.
As if by magic, Lu Shutian pulled out— from her obviously expensive luxury brand bag—
A block of tofu in a plastic bag.
Lu Shutian shook the plastic bag, making a rustling sound. "Sister, are you looking for this?"
Yan Sui was speechless, and Lu Shutian "thoughtfully" explained, "Sister Yan Sui, my name is Lu Shutian, and I'm a singer who just debuted this year. I'm going to film the music video for my new song here tomorrow, and I just happened to hear from a friend that you and Jian Liyun are also here these days. Sister Zhang, who delivers tofu, had something come up today, and since I was free anyway, I delivered it for her."
This argument is clearly not reasonable at all.
Yan Sui didn't know why Lu Shutian knew so much about her professional network...
No, perhaps it wasn't about himself, but about Jian Liyun.
But Yan Sui didn't understand that Jian Liyun hadn't started to fawn over the male lead yet, and the female lead didn't even know him. One of them was an actress and the other a singer, so there was no conflict of interest between them.
There wasn't time for Yan Sui to think too much, so she pretended to suddenly realize something, "Oh, Sister Zhang hasn't told me yet. It turns out she had something to do today. Well, thank you then."
Yan Sui took the tofu, while Lu Shutian still wore a sweet smile, showing no intention of leaving.
"you……"
"Would you mind if we had an extra pair of chopsticks and bowls at lunchtime?"
Two voices rang out at the same time. Before Yan Sui could find an excuse to leave, Lu Shutian took the initiative.
Good news: So far, Jian Liyun has not had any further contact with the male lead.
Bad news: The female lead has come looking for him.
Yan Sui smiled politely yet distantly, "Miss Lu, I don't have a professional chef here. Neither Li Yun nor I are very good at cooking, so we're afraid it might not suit your taste. However, I know a few local restaurants nearby that are quite good. If Miss Lu needs any recommendations, I can give you some."
Lu Shutian seemed not to understand the refusal in Yan Sui's words. She pouted slightly and grabbed Yan Sui's arm with both hands, shaking it gently.
"I'm not picky about food at all, I'm just happy to have something to eat. Sister Yan Sui, please have pity on me and let me have a meal."
Lu Shutian looked pitiful, so Yan Sui didn't say anything harsh.
Oh well, let's just consider this a chance to get to know the female lead in person beforehand.
Moreover, with her by her side, Jian Liyun shouldn't encounter any problems.
Yan Sui couldn't refuse her, so she could only nod, "Alright then, we're just eating simple food, Miss Lu, please don't mind."
Lu Shutian quickly shook her head, "No problem, no problem," and then she picked up the tofu from Yan Sui's hand, "Let me carry it."
Looking at the other person's appearance, Yan Sui couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the female lead and the female supporting character really had completely different personalities.
As the two walked along the country road, Yan Sui felt she should say something, otherwise the conversation would become awkward.
"Your legs are so long."
Yan Sui started the conversation.
Lu Shutian was taken aback. Many people say that her voice is as sweet as her appearance, but few people would say that she has long legs.
Seeing that Lu Shutian didn't speak, Yan Sui frantically racked her brains to find a solution, "Well, what I mean is, you're very tall."
Yan Sui's words were true; Lu Shutian was about the same height as Jian Liyun, but was half a head taller than Yan Sui.
Lu Shutian nodded proudly: "I drank milk every day when I was little, so naturally I grew tall and my legs grew long too."
Yan Sui stopped in her tracks. She first glanced at Lu Shutian's face, then scanned her entire body, and came to a conclusion.
"Like an Arctic hare."
"Arctic hare?" Lu Shutian asked, puzzled.
Yan Sui hummed in agreement and gestured with her hand.
"It's the kind of rabbit that looks tiny and cute when it's crouching, but when it stands up, its legs are incredibly long, creating a strong contrast."
Lu Shutian chuckled: "This is the first time someone has ever commented on me like this."
Yan Sui continued walking forward. "Don't you like it? I'm sorry."
Lu Shutian shook her head, "There's nothing I don't like."
They didn't continue the topic. Yan Sui walked ahead, with Lu Shutian following behind her.
Where Yan Sui couldn't see, the sweet smile on Lu Shutian's face had long since vanished.
Her almond-shaped eyes, which seemed harmless, were fixed on Yan Sui's back, and she looked thoughtful.
The two walked back to their self-built house. Yan Sui pushed open the wooden door and called out loudly, "Li Yun, I'm back!"
Jian Liyun, who was still washing vegetables and holding a cabbage leaf in her hand, came out of the room and said, "Sui Sui, you're back..."
Her lips, which had been slightly upturned, turned completely into a straight line when she saw the person behind Yan Sui.
On the contrary, Lu Shutian was very enthusiastic. She happily waved the plastic bag containing tofu in her hand, "Hello Jian Liyun, my name is Lu Shutian. I'm here to deliver tofu for someone, and I was thinking of asking you to have a meal here. You don't mind, do you?"
Even though Jian Liyun's expression didn't change, Yan Sui felt that the other party was about to say something shocking.
So she quickly turned around, took the tofu, and used herself to block their view.
"Miss Lu, why don't you go and rest in the living room? I'll go to the kitchen and cook with Li Yun; that way, the food will be served faster."
Before Lu Shutian could reply, Yan Sui, carrying the tofu, strode towards Jian Liyun. "Let's go, Liyun, let's make fried fish with the rest of the fish."
The two went to the kitchen. Jian Liyun washed the vegetables without saying a word. Yan Sui cautiously approached and asked, "Liyun?"
Jian Liyun didn't speak, but simply looked up at her.
Even though nothing had happened between her and Lu Shutian, Yan Sui inexplicably felt a little guilty.
She explained in a low voice, "It's true. I ran into her on my way to the village entrance. She said the person who delivered the tofu to me had something to do, and she happened to be working here these days, so she delivered it for him."
"oh."
Yan Sui poured the tofu out onto the cutting board and leaned over to Jian Liyun. "I actually refused her at first, but she insisted on coming along, so I couldn't refuse her. After all, she's someone in this industry, and if things get too ugly, it'll be awkward for the two of you to meet in the future."
Jian Liyun washed the vegetable leaves and put them in the draining basket.
She turned on the tap to wash her hands, and the sound of the running water made her voice less clear.
"Lu Shutian is beautiful and has a sweet voice. She also has singing ability and her future development is promising."
Jian Liyun was stating an objective fact, so Yan Sui agreed, "Yes."
But Yan Sui thought to herself, so what? As long as Jian Liyun doesn't ruin her promising career because of her obsession with the male lead, she can have a better future than the female lead and the male lead.
Jian Liyun turned off the tap and casually wiped her hands with a handkerchief. "Maybe you should become her agent; she can give you more in return."
Yan Sui almost choked on her breath; she still couldn't understand Jian Liyun's thought process.
"Li Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I..."
Jian Liyun interrupted her, "That tofu is yours, isn't it?"
Why are we talking about tofu again? Yan Sui nodded: "Yes, I asked Sister Zhang to bring it to me. What's wrong?"
Jian Liyun pursed her lips, seemingly having prepared herself mentally before asking, "Then why did you ask her to help you carry the tofu?"
"No," Yan Sui really wanted to scratch her head, "What, me, huh?"
Jian Liyun walked past Yan Sui to the piece of tofu on the cutting board and picked up the gleaming cleaver.
Why did you ask her to help you carry your tofu?
As she spoke, Jian Liyun had already cut the tofu into many pieces.
Yan Sui was about to have a mental breakdown. "She said she would help me carry it, so I..."
"Then why—"
Jian Liyun's questioning ended abruptly halfway through.
Yan Sui was on the verge of collapse. "What do you mean, 'why'? Li Yun, tell me!"
Why didn't you let me help you carry the cabbage before? The cabbage was so heavy, but you insisted on carrying it yourself. This piece of tofu is so light, but you still asked Lu Shutian to help you carry it.
Perhaps realizing that these words were indeed difficult to say, Jian Liyun could only keep a cold face and remain silent.
Jian Liyun held a gleaming kitchen knife in her hand, her whole demeanor sinister. Although her dark eyes weren't fixed on Yan Sui, they seemed poised to lock onto her at any moment.
Then, Jian Liyun walked towards Yan Sui with a kitchen knife in her hand.
Seriously? The female supporting character is so angry she wants to kill herself?
Yan Sui was genuinely puzzled. She truly didn't understand what the other person was dissatisfied with, even though she felt she had explained it clearly enough.
“Even if I die, I should at least know why I died,” Yan Sui said, reaching out her hand to Jian Liyun. “What exactly are you angry with me about?”
The moment Yan Sui reached out her hand, Jian Liyun turned the hand holding the kitchen knife away from Yan Sui, knife and all.
"I have a knife. It's dangerous for you to come close to me suddenly."
After saying this, Jian Liyun walked past Yan Sui and began to clean the water stains off the kitchen knife.
“Li Yun, I…”
Lu Shutian suddenly appeared at the kitchen door: "Sister, what are you busy with? I can't just sit here and do nothing. Is there anything I can help with?"
Wow, the female lead is so helpful, she's just adding to the chaos.
Yan Sui was too lazy to argue with the system, so she quickly turned around and said, "No need, no need, we'll be done soon. There's a TV in the living room, you can watch TV if you're bored."
After finally getting rid of Lu Shutian, this formidable figure, Yan Sui sighed. She then looked at Jian Liyun, preparing to start frying the fish, but saw the other woman's ambiguous smile.
"elder sister?"
Yan Sui heated the pan and added oil, her mind preoccupied with preparing the dish so that Lu Shutian could eat and leave. She was completely unaware that Jian Liyun's expression had turned utterly cold.
"Oh, she must be younger than me. That's what she called me when we first met."
Jian Liyun remained silent.
The fire on the stove was burning brightly, and the oil was already hot.
Yan Sui looked around, "Li Yun, where did you put the marinated fish?"
