12. The relationship has become very delicate.
◎The female supporting character is a little flustered◎
Yan Sui was extremely sleepy, but the worries in her heart made her keep muttering to herself.
"From now on... I won't force you to do things you don't like anymore..."
"But you also have to promise me a few things..."
Jian Liyun's heart softened, and she took the initiative to hook her little finger with the other person's, "I promise you."
System: No, the host hasn't even said what it is yet, is that right?
Yan Sui's voice trailed off, "You need to be healthy, you need to become a big star, you need to..."
Her voice was so soft that Jian Liyun had to get closer and closer to hear her. In the end, Jian Liyun simply brought her voice to her lips.
In her drowsy state, Yan Sui smelled the familiar scent of jasmine.
She also uttered the last three words, "Be happy."
Jian Liyun found it difficult to describe how she felt.
Her previously gloomy life seemed to have a small crack finally parted in the dense dark clouds, and then a golden and bright light illuminated her.
Unbeknownst to Yan Sui, after she fell asleep, Jian Liyun was still holding her little finger, gazing at her sleeping face in the dimly lit room—
This state lasted for an hour.
Jian Liyun didn't speak, so the system naturally didn't know what she was thinking.
...
“Sui Sui”.
Yan Sui was awakened by a gentle female voice.
"Hmm," Yan Sui slowly opened her eyes; she had been sleeping very soundly. "What time is it?"
"It's five o'clock. I've cooked the noodles. Come down and eat. You contact the driver, and we'll head back after we finish eating."
Yan Sui rubbed her eyes. "Okay."
Jian Liyun went downstairs again, and Yan Sui also took the phone from the bedside table and contacted the driver to ask him to come pick her up earlier.
"By the way, System," Yan Sui asked in her mind, "has she done anything drastic lately?"
Yan Sui has figured it out. She will no longer object to Jian Liyun loving and trying to please the male lead, but her bottom line now is that she will not allow Jian Liyun to hurt herself for it.
Before the system could reply, Yan Sui rubbed her temples again. "I was really still half asleep... Jian Liyun shouldn't have been next to me just now, so you couldn't detect her."
The system wanted to say that Jian Liyun had actually stayed in Yan Sui's bedroom for an hour.
Not only did he stay for an hour, but he also stared at Yan Sui with a murderous look for an entire hour.
The system comforted itself by telling itself that the female supporting character was straight, while choosing to pretend nothing had happened.
From Yan Sui's perspective, nothing really happened.
So the system remained silent.
When Yan Sui came downstairs, the aroma of food wafted over her even before she reached the restaurant.
When Yan Sui arrived at the restaurant, Jian Liyun seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. She pulled out a chair for Yan Sui and said, "Eat quickly."
Yan Sui nodded and sat down. "I contacted the driver, he'll pick us up at 6:30. We'll be getting back a little late today, so get some rest tomorrow. I'll take you for a check-up the day after tomorrow."
Yan Sui picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks, looked at the still steaming noodles, and added, "Remember to fast in the morning. The check-up will take all day, and you will have a psychological assessment with a psychologist in the afternoon."
She wanted to explain why she was taking Jian Liyun to see a psychologist, but to her surprise, the other party readily agreed, "Okay."
Yan Sui hadn't expected the other party to be so receptive. She awkwardly hummed in agreement and took a bite of noodles.
Jian Liyun looked up at her, "But I have one request."
"you say."
Jian Liyun's voice was devoid of emotion. "You'll also be getting a physical check-up with me the day after tomorrow morning," she said thoughtfully. "If the company doesn't reimburse you, I will."
Although Yan Sui looked lively and energetic, her condition was clearly not right these two times, which made Jian Liyun a little worried.
Yan Sui immediately realized the other party's intention, but a physical examination alone couldn't reveal anything—
Mental illness is difficult to cure with medicine.
Even so, she smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll pay for it myself. It really is time for the annual physical exam."
Jian Liyun seemed to be stunned by the smile. She immediately lowered her head and ate her noodles in silence.
The two ate noodles, washed the dishes, packed their luggage, and everything was ready; they were just waiting for the driver to pick them up.
In the not-so-large living room, the two sat on the sofa, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Yan Sui initiated the conversation, but her tone was somewhat businesslike.
"Would you like to participate in that lifestyle variety show again?"
Jian Liyun didn't hesitate, "No."
Is Jian Liyun no longer interested because the male lead is unlikely to participate?
Yan Sui thought to herself, and Jian Liyun seemed to see through her thoughts and spoke again, "I've thought about it and I think you're right. My main job is acting, so I should focus on acting. I don't necessarily have to participate in these variety shows."
Yan Sui did not show the happy expression that Jian Liyun had expected. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Jian Liyun felt uneasy. Why did Yan Sui still look unhappy?
She needs to think of a solution.
"Sui Sui, I will no longer concern myself with He Chenyu's affairs."
Jian Liyun tentatively spoke, but Yan Sui's expression remained unchanged.
She scrolled through her phone. "It's okay, there's no clause in your agency contract that prohibits dating."
Yan Sui hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I won't interfere with your private life, but as an artist, I hope you can maintain a healthy body and a healthy mind, and at the same time, star in good film and television works. That's enough."
Jian Liyun remained silent for several seconds.
Yan Sui thought the other person was complaining that she was interfering too much, so she softened her tone, "As for scripts, I'll first screen them for you to find ones that I think are good and have high market acceptance, but you can also choose your own scripts..."
"I understand," Jian Liyun interrupted Yan Sui. "I will do it."
Even if you can't do it, you can pretend you can.
Anyway, actors are good at acting, and they're also good at deceiving, aren't they?
Buzzing.
Yan Sui's phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen and said, "The driver has arrived. Let's go."
Perhaps because she slept too long during the day, Yan Sui, sitting in the car, felt no sleepiness at all.
She knew the journey would take at least five hours, so she turned her head and stared blankly at the scenery rushing past the window.
Buzzing.
Yan Sui's phone vibrated again. She unlocked the screen and saw that it was a message from her direct supervisor.
They said there's a small gathering of people in the industry tomorrow, and the boss is going to attend, bringing along these agents who are free.
When her boss asked Yan Sui if she was free, Yan Sui really wanted to refuse.
She can handle crowded situations, but it's tiring, and she doesn't like it.
But now she can no longer live as she pleases.
Yan Sui replied almost instantly: "Director Kong, I'm free."
At the same time, Jian Liyun also spoke up, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner tomorrow? I'll cook for you."
Yan Sui waved her phone in her hand, "I have company arrangements for tomorrow, I have to go to a social event, sorry."
Jian Liyun frowned. "A social engagement? Are you meeting with some director? I'll go with you."
Although it was called a social gathering, Jian Liyun knew that people wouldn't be able to get off the stage without getting completely drunk.
Yan Sui shook her head. "No, I don't know the specifics. Director Kong just informed me. You should rest well at home tomorrow. See you the day after tomorrow."
Jian Liyun frowned even more, but finally sighed and compromised, "Okay, contact me anytime if anything goes wrong."
Yan Sui smiled and said, "I'm your manager. This is my job. You just need to act well."
Jian Liyun didn't answer. She leaned back in her car seat and closed her eyes, pretending to doze off.
Time passed by, and Yan Sui gazed listlessly at the scenery outside the window when she suddenly heard Jian Liyun's voice again.
"After you finish your social engagements tomorrow, just come straight to my place."
Before Yan Sui could speak, Jian Liyun added, "It'll be more convenient if we go for the physical exam together the day after tomorrow."
Yan Sui clutched her clothes. "No need. I'll probably be quite late after my social engagement. I don't want to bother you."
In the original novel, the female supporting character's favorite thing was to be alone in a quiet place, so she should stop making things difficult for herself by doing annoying things.
"I won't disturb you," Jian Liyun said gently. "Is that alright?"
Yan Sui hesitated for a moment, "Okay... wait a minute, I might have to drink at a social event tomorrow, I don't know if it will affect my medical check-up the day after tomorrow."
Jian Liyun replied, "Then shall we postpone the physical examination?"
The female supporting character's physical examination couldn't be postponed, so Yan Sui shook her head, "No need, I'll go with you for the physical examination the day after tomorrow. Whether I need to have a physical examination then depends on the situation."
Jian Liyun nodded, "Then remember to come home tomorrow night."
The way Jian Liyun said that... something feels off.
Yan Sui didn't think much of it, she casually hummed in response and continued looking out the car window.
In the original novel, when Jian Liyun faced criticism later on, a director actually offered her a helping hand.
She was a young female director, who, despite her limited experience, was extremely talented.
She originally wanted to invite Jian Liyun to be the female lead in her science fiction film, but Jian Liyun was in a very bad mental state at the time and was on the verge of not being able to go on living, so she naturally declined the female director's offer.
This science fiction film later became the highest-grossing film in the entire novel, and the director, screenwriter, and actors all won numerous awards.
Incidentally, because Jian Liyun refused to perform, the script was changed at the last minute, and the protagonist was changed from a female character to a male character. The person who played this role was none other than the male lead, He Chenyu.
Now, this female director originally wanted to make a TV series with the theme of infinite flow, but unfortunately, she didn't have any investors, so the idea was shelved.
Yan Sui felt this was a good opportunity.
Even if the male lead has too much luck, she still has a chance to win over the script of this infinite flow genre in the early stages.
It seems she'll have to ask Director Kong to organize another gathering for investors tomorrow.
Before organizing the gathering, I'll talk to that female director again.
Yan Sui was completely absorbed in her own thoughts, unaware that the gaze of the person next to her was becoming increasingly dark and unpredictable.
"Sui Sui," Jian Liyun said softly, "Don't drink too much tomorrow. Call me when the dinner is over, and I'll come pick you up."
