5. You said this was supposed to be a romance novel?
◎ He got into an argument with the female supporting character... and it escalated to the point of going upstairs? ◎
Even Yan Sui was a little confused. She confronted the system in her mind, "I didn't confess. I just... sincerely wanted to say those words."
Because just now, she was truly moved by Jian Liyun.
The system cried out: [Host, quickly tell her you're straight too, you weren't just confessing your feelings.]
Yan Sui's thoughts returned to reality. She quickly waved her hands, "I'm sorry, I misspoke just now, and I may have made you misunderstand. I wasn't confessing, I just..."
Jian Liyun smiled and said, "I know."
"You know you still..."
Jian Liyun raised an eyebrow. "Sui Sui, you're blushing."
Yan Sui groaned inwardly, but her cheeks grew increasingly red. "You, why are you suddenly calling me that?"
Jian Liyun, however, looked completely innocent. "You've already called me Liyun. If I keep calling you Yan Sui, it'll feel too distant, won't it?"
This person definitely did it on purpose.
But Yan Sui couldn't find anything wrong with it, so she could only stammer and reply, "Whatever, whatever you want."
Yan Sui's frustrated expression made Jian Liyun feel even better. She turned her head to look at the buoy in the river again, and smiled with her eyes crinkling at the quiet river surface.
This new agent is kind of cute.
Whether it was an auspicious time or something else, the two of them caught several fish in the time that followed.
Yan Sui put away her fishing rod. "Okay, if we make any more, we won't be able to finish it all tomorrow. It's past ten o'clock now, let's go home."
Jian Liyun paused for a few seconds, then replied, "Yes, let's go home."
The two walked one after the other along the country road, accompanied by the chirping of insects.
“Li Yun, no matter who you fall in love with in the future,” Yan Sui, who was walking in front, suddenly said, “you must keep your eyes open and see if this person is worth your love.”
Jian Liyun hummed in agreement.
Yan Sui said earnestly, "The people who truly like you will want you to become better and better. They won't drain you dry, squeeze out your last bit of value, and then throw you away."
Jian Liyun's tone rose slightly, "So, is Sui Sui trying to say that Sui Sui is the one who truly likes me?"
[Good heavens! Is this still a romance novel? Even if the female supporting character might change, this is just too awful! Host, please don't talk nonsense in the future, I'm scared QAQ]
Yan Sui thought to herself, "So what if my persona is ruined? As long as there's no punishment, it's fine."
Then, feigning composure, she replied, "My feelings for you aren't the kind of liking between lovers, but I genuinely hope you can become a better person. I'm not like that kind of..."
"With that kind of thing?" Jian Liyun pressed.
I'm not like that ungrateful bastard, the male lead.
Yan Sui finally managed to hold back. She turned around and looked up slightly at the woman in front of her.
"You're in the prime of your career right now, so don't date or fall for anyone."
Jian Liyun tilted her head slightly, "I don't remember this clause being written in the contract, right? Sui Sui, you just took over my job, haven't you seen my agency contract yet?"
Of course, this clause wasn't written in the contract. Besides, Jian Liyun's identity is that of a talented actress, and she doesn't need to remain single like an idol.
Yan Sui was at a loss for words for a few seconds, "...Anyway, could you please stop liking other people for now?"
If you insist on following the male lead without hesitation, how can I save you?
Jian Liyun smiled slightly, "Is Sui Sui someone else?"
[Host, the female supporting character's persona has completely collapsed, haha.]
The system is laughing; the system seems to have gone mad.
[Host, hold on for now. I'll go ask my superiors what to do if the female supporting character in a romance novel becomes gay.]
Yan Sui took a step back subtly. "Of course I'm not just anyone, I'm your manager. You don't have to like me, but you must trust me."
Jian Liyun looked away. "Did I scare Sui Sui? I was just joking. Don't take it to heart."
Not only Yan Sui, but Jian Liyun also frightened everyone.
The two returned to the house, and Yan Sui put the fish from the fish basket into a large basin. "We'll deal with these tomorrow morning. It's late today, let's rest first."
The two said goodbye and returned to their rooms.
In the two bedrooms on the second floor, Yan Sui quickly fell asleep after washing up, while the light in the other bedroom remained on.
...
Yan Sui returned to that time.
She stared intently at the screen; the video playing had no sound, only visuals.
She stared intently at a spot on the screen, where a mouth was opening and closing, but she still couldn't understand what the other person was saying.
Later, a fire burned everything to the ground. Yan Sui was as if she had been frozen in place, letting the sea of fire engulf her, her whole body in excruciating pain.
"Hmm..."
Yan Sui opened her eyes in pain, her forehead covered in cold sweat and her face deathly pale.
She slowly struggled to sit up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then gave a self-deprecating laugh, "How come I'm still having this dream even after transmigrating into a book..."
The fire in her dream seemed to have burned her throat as well. Yan Sui cleared her throat and prepared to go downstairs to get a glass of warm water.
Creak.
She pushed open the bedroom door, only to find a sliver of light shining through the crack in the door of the next room.
Yan Sui even went back to her bedroom to check the time on her phone.
3:05 a.m.
Is Jian Liyun usually such a night owl?
After much deliberation, Yan Sui decided to knock on the door.
"Enter."
Through the wooden door, Jian Liyun's voice also became muffled.
Yan Sui pushed open the door and entered. "Li Yun, why aren't you resting yet at this late hour?"
Jian Liyun didn't need to answer her, because she saw that Jian Liyun was organizing the script.
Yan Sui stepped forward. "I remember you haven't started working on any new scripts yet, so what's going on here...?"
Jian Liyun paused, "I'm helping someone organize their script."
Yan Sui snatched the script and, as expected, saw the name of the male lead, He Chenyu, on the first page.
"You helped this person organize the script for a duet until 3 a.m.?"
Yan Sui prides herself on being an emotionally stable person, but even though the two of them had just agreed to love themselves before loving others, Jian Liyun turned around and devoted herself to the male lead without any regrets.
She was so angry she laughed.
Jian Liyun reached out her hand, and Yan Sui assumed that the other party wanted to take back the script. She immediately put the script behind her back and said in a rough and fierce voice, "Now, right now, go to sleep!"
But a cold hand touched her forehead.
Jian Liyun frowned slightly. "You look a little unwell... Well, thankfully you don't have a fever."
Yan Sui then realized that she must look terrible. She said nonchalantly, "It's an old problem. I'll just go get some water. No, don't change the subject."
"What old problem?"
Yan Sui's tone was cold. "I don't want to talk to you about this right now. Now, please go to sleep immediately. I'll stand here and watch you fall asleep."
What's so great about the male lead? In the entertainment industry where handsome men are everywhere, there are plenty of men who are more handsome than the male lead, so why does Jian Liyun insist on focusing all her attention on him?
Moreover, it's still early in the story. Although the novel doesn't describe it in much detail, Yan Sui didn't expect that Jian Liyun would already be so attentive and ingratiating towards the male lead from this point on.
A deep sense of powerlessness and frustration welled up in Yan Sui's heart. Perhaps because she had just woken up from a nightmare, her emotions were now easily fluctuating.
"hiss……"
A familiar dizziness washed over her, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Yan Sui felt weak all over, and her hand slipped, causing the script to fall to the ground.
She tried her best to suppress her discomfort, "I'm sorry, I..."
Before Yan Sui could even squat down to pick up the script, she was swept up in someone's arms—
Then, the soft touch told her that she had been carried to the bed.
"Is it a headache? Did you bring any medicine?"
Jian Liyun's question became muffled.
Yan Sui's eyes were already unfocused. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Just drink some warm water."
Jian Liyun didn't know how long the other person could hold on like this, but she didn't care. She unscrewed her white thermos and held it to the other person's lips, "Drink."
Yan Sui gripped the water glass, but she had no strength to hold on. She didn't know why this somatization reaction was so intense.
So although Yan Sui was holding the water glass, it was actually Jian Liyun who operated it, carefully tilting the glass to feed her the water.
After drinking a few sips of warm water, Yan Sui finally felt much better.
"Thank you," Yan Sui said softly.
Jian Liyun breathed a sigh of relief. "What's wrong with your old problem?"
Yan Sui unconsciously pouted, "Don't worry about my old problem, just explain your situation first. Li Yun, we're here to rest and relax, not to have you work overtime for others without pay."
Jian Liyun softened her tone, which was rare for her, "I've already promised him, and I can't go back on my word."
"But you promised me you'd love yourself first!" Yan Sui raised her voice.
Jian Liyun didn't know why she pinched the other person's hair. She shook the other person's hair again and said, "Don't get excited. Your emotions have just calmed down."
Yan Sui gave a forced smile, "I'm not excited, I'm just so angry with you."
Jian Liyun chuckled, "Are you that angry? Don't worry, it won't affect my work."
Yan Sui grabbed the other person's wrist directly, "Li Yun, you are my artist, don't always think about helping others, be careful that they don't bite you back."
Jian Liyun suddenly jumped back to the previous topic, "But I told you before that I won't do this."
I don't know how to love myself.
Yan Sui got anxious. "If you don't know how, I'll teach you! How can you learn this if you're not even willing to try?"
Jian Liyun sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, don't get emotional. We're so far from the city center. What if you feel unwell again? It takes several hours to drive to the hospital."
Yan Sui sighed.
She didn't know why her somatization was so severe this time.
But she had no time to think about that right now; she could only hold the other person's hand and say, "Let's go to sleep."
Jian Liyun also got into bed, and the two of them slept on opposite sides of the bed.
Yan Sui was completely unaware of how intimate the two of them were at that moment. She glared at the other person's face, which was so perfect it was outrageous, and said coldly.
"Close your eyes."
