54 is a perfect deal no matter how you look at it.
◎The female lead was frightened◎
Yan Sui was already numb.
Besides the female lead and the female supporting character, Tian Yufu, who is just a passerby, is a consciousness awakener, and now another person who knows almost everything, just like the system, has appeared.
Could Luo Yanquan also be an awakened consciousness?
wrong.
Even if Luo Yanquan is an awakened consciousness in this world, how could she know so much about Yan Sui?
In the blink of an eye, Yan Sui had already imagined countless possibilities.
Luo Yanquan said unhurriedly, "So, what's your answer? Now is not the time to be distracted by other things."
Yan Sui remained calm. "From my perspective, I don't think the protagonist needs to achieve worldly perfection to be considered fulfilled. As long as the protagonist can do what she wants and accomplish what she desires, even if the ending is utter destruction, it is enough for her."
“Heh,” Luo Yanquan smiled, her eyes crinkling, “A very interesting answer. I haven’t heard anything so interesting in a long time.”
Yan Sui said without changing her expression, "It's just my personal opinion, please excuse my rudeness."
"well."
Compared to Yan Sui's composure, Luo Yanquan sighed with melancholy.
She finished the rest of her coffee in one gulp. "But if the main character's ending is bad, the two people in this story must be very sad, right?"
Yan Sui's tone remained unwavering. "Although in your story, the protagonist is the main character, the supporting actress and the female lead still have a long and wonderful life to experience. The protagonist is just a passerby to them."
Luo Yanquan chuckled softly, "So that's what the protagonist thinks?"
"I..." Yan Sui quickly changed her words, "I don't know what the protagonist is thinking, but if I were the protagonist, this is what I would think."
Luo Yanquan remained silent for a long while.
After an unknown amount of time, the woman with the unremarkable appearance finally spoke, "Your flower tea is getting cold."
Yan Sui quickly poured the remaining tea from the teapot into her cup and then drank several mouthfuls.
The originally scalding hot tea became about the same temperature as my mouth, and the taste deteriorated.
Luo Yanquan looked at Yan Sui, who was drinking lilac tea, and said in an ambiguous tone, "I originally planned to name this novel 'After Saving the White Moonlight, the Black Moonlight Went Mad'."
Yan Sui almost spat out her flower tea. She swallowed it with difficulty and coughed lightly. "It's a... quite an interesting title."
That's too straightforward; it doesn't fit Luo Yanquan's style at all.
Luo Yanquan burst out laughing, "What's wrong? You think it's too straightforward? How about we call it Swan Scandal? The female supporting character and the female lead are both like swans, except one is a black swan and the other is a white swan."
Luo Yanquan had already said this once before recording the variety show.
Now, when this topic is brought up again, she's practically revealing her hand.
Yan Sui was hesitating whether to speak frankly when the other person put their index finger to their lips and said, "Shh."
Although this statement was somewhat unfounded, Yan Sui did not sense any malice from the middle-aged woman.
So she obediently kept quiet.
Luo Yanquan said leisurely, "Your answer is interesting, but I still want to give the protagonist of the story a happy ending."
“But she will never experience happiness again in her life.” Yan Sui’s tone was somewhat stiff.
Yan Sui can never reconcile with the loss of the little bird, and she can never live a happy life with a clear conscience.
Luo Yanquan was not annoyed by the rebuttal. She said calmly, "Just as you said, the female supporting character and the female lead will have a long and wonderful life to experience, and so will the main character."
"In the rest of the protagonist's life, she will slowly heal her scars and make up for her regrets. I am not a heartless person. I hope that the protagonist can have a happy ending."
Yan Sui did not respond.
Luo Yanquan continued rambling on: "What you give, you receive. The protagonist is a good person. She knows how to love others, so many people will love her well."
Yan Sui didn't believe Luo Yanquan's words, but she still smiled and nodded politely.
As if by magic, a sachet embroidered with the word "peace" suddenly appeared in Luo Yanquan's hand. She gestured for Yan Sui to take it, saying, "Do me another favor and give this to someone."
Yan Sui took it. "Who is this for?"
He Chensu.
Yan Sui frowned. "Who is this person...?"
Luo Yanquan suggested, "She is He Chenyu's second sister. She will also be attending the funeral this afternoon. Could you please give this to her for me? Just say it's a gift from Luo Yanquan, and she will accept it."
Yan Sui was in a dilemma. Given the He family's cautious nature, she probably wouldn't even be able to get into the cemetery.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Luo Yanquan took out another black invitation card. "Use this to get in."
Yan Sui said calmly, "So this is the real reason you contacted me today, isn't it?"
Luo Yanquan neither agreed nor disagreed.
She stood up and stretched. "I had a great chat with you today. I'm looking forward to our next meeting. I'll really give you a surprise then!"
Yan Sui couldn't imagine what Luo Yanquan would do to scare her, "Okay."
Luo Yanquan cracked his knuckles. “Yan Sui, don’t let yourself get stuck in the obstacles you’ve set for yourself. You can reminisce about the past, but you can’t live in the past forever. Look ahead, you can get everything you want, I promise you.”
"In the name of..."
Yan Sui didn't hear the middle word clearly, but she could see the shape of Luo Yanquan's lips.
That word was clearly "God".
Wait, God?!
Yan Sui realized how absurd Luo Yanquan's words were, and she wanted to ask him more questions, but he pointed out the window instead.
It's going to rain.
Luo Yanquan's words seemed to have a magical power; even though Yan Sui didn't want to move, her body still turned around and looked out the window uncontrollably.
The sky, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly became overcast, and a heavy rain was about to fall.
When Yan Sui came to her senses again, she turned to look in the direction where Luo Yanquan had just left, but there was no one there anymore.
Even more strangely, the tea set containing clove tea on the table had also disappeared without a trace, leaving only Luo Yanquan's coffee cup that she had just finished drinking from.
Yan Sui composed herself, picked up the menu beside her, and discovered that this coffee shop did not sell tea.
"really."
【Host! ! ! 】
The system emitted a sharp, unheard-of beep: "[I've been inexplicably locked in the dark room again! Are you alright? Waaaaah.]"
Yan Sui first comforted her, "I'm fine."
Then, changing the subject, ".001, is Luo Yanquan the so-called 'main god'? That is, the highest-ranking leader in your system?"
[Yan Sui, the transmigrator, you are very clever.]
Yan Sui gave a forced smile. "You're quite clever too. Every time you give an irrelevant answer, you manage to find a loophole so I can understand what you mean. Considering what you said before, that this is a struggle between two forces, I think I understand now."
[Yan Sui, the transmigrator, tell us about yourself.]
Yan Sui looked out the window at the increasingly gloomy sky, "So He Chenyu represents another force, and I think this force can be simply and crudely understood as a villainous force. Their goal should be to seize the luck value of the protagonists in these worlds through some improper means, thereby enhancing their own luck value and becoming the chosen one of these worlds."
Despite it being just speculation, Yan Sui's tone grew increasingly certain, "And Lu Shutian and Jian Liyun are the victims among them."
..001 remained silent because it had nothing to say.
Yan Sui's speculation is almost identical to the truth.
It exclaimed again, "[Transmigrator Yan Sui, you are truly intelligent.]"
This statement not only implies that Yan Sui's speculation is correct, but is also a genuine compliment.
.001 thought to himself, "If I had known this task was assigned to Yan Sui, it might have been completed ahead of schedule."
Yan Sui's expression remained unchanged. She took out her phone and glanced at the time. She had thought she hadn't talked to Luo Yanquan for long, but before she knew it, it was already noon.
She left the cafe, grabbed a quick lunch at a nearby restaurant, and then hurried back home.
Since she was going to a funeral, her outfit today was not suitable for the occasion.
Come to think of it, Yan Sui hasn't spent much time in her own home in this world since she transmigrated here.
After searching through the wardrobe for a long time, Yan Sui finally managed to find a black knee-length dress and a black trench coat.
[Host, let's deliver the goods and leave quickly. The male lead is in too much danger right now; try to minimize contact with him.]
Yan Sui's expression was somewhat serious, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "It's alright, I know what I'm doing."
In the current situation, the optimal solution to break the deadlock has clearly shifted from defense to proactive offense.
Buzzing.
Yan Sui's phone started vibrating; it was a call from Jian Liyun.
Yan Sui herself didn't realize that after seeing the caller's name, her tense expression softened instantly, and only gentleness remained in her eyes.
"Li Yun".
Jian Liyun on the other end of the phone hummed in agreement, "Are you up yet?"
Yan Sui chuckled, "It's past lunchtime, how could I not be up?"
Jian Liyun laughed out loud, "Okay. When I left this morning, you were sleeping very soundly, and I thought you would sleep for a long time."
"I didn't sleep for long, but I slept soundly," Yan Sui replied truthfully. "How's the filming going on your end?"
The sound of someone getting dressed came from the other end of the phone. Jian Liyun said gently, "I have two more scenes left. If all goes well, we'll start filming in about half an hour."
The two chatted for a few more minutes. Yan Sui was repeatedly reminded by Jian Liyun to eat well, and she agreed several times before the other party finally hung up the phone.
Yan Sui put down the phone again and picked up the peace pouch that Luo Yanquan had just given her. ".001, this should be some kind of magic weapon of yours, which can protect He Chensu from having her luck value stolen by He Chenyu."
【Yes. 】
..001 answered decisively this time.
Yan Sui's face did not show the joy of guessing correctly. "Logically speaking, you should have many restrictions, and even if Luo Yanquan is a 'god,' he must abide by some rules of this world."
If the .001 side had absolutely no restrictions, He Chenyu should have been dealt with long ago.
But now Luo Yanquan has made his move.
Yan Sui pursed her lips. "So after this, Luo Yanquan, or rather your god, will be punished in this world. I guess it will be injury or death or something like that? But actually it doesn't matter to her, because Luo Yanquan is just her identity in this world. Outside of this world, she is still a god."
I just received a notification that Luo Yanquan will die in a car accident tomorrow. 001: ...
[Yan Sui, the transmigrator, please stop talking, I'm scared.]
Even the high-order system .001 couldn't understand why Yan Sui could almost perfectly reconstruct the truth from such a meager amount of known information.
Of all the mission takers it had met and all the worlds it had visited, none were as clever as Yan Sui in carrying out missions.
And how clueless she is in matters of the heart.
Yan Sui smiled and finally stopped talking about it. She slowly and methodically buttoned up her trench coat one button at a time.
Taking the black umbrella, Yan Sui turned the doorknob. "Your game is quite interesting."
The system, now wielding its power, declared: "[.001 Why aren't you saying anything? You're a high-level system—much smarter than me and the host!]"
It wasn't until Yan Sui got into the taxi to the cemetery that .001 finally managed to utter, "Anyway, at least I'm smarter than you."
[Host, .001 says I'm an idiot system QAQ]
When the system can't win an argument, it starts playing the victim.
Yan Sui was amused by the two systems and wasn't nervous at all. "You're not stupid. Besides, you're both great, each with your own strengths, and both are very important to me."
The system, having received a satisfactory answer, fell silent, while .001 seemed somewhat flattered.
[Transmigrated into a book, Yan Sui, am I also important to you?]
Yan Sui smiled and said, "You can open my True Sight Eye and provide me with a lot of off-field information, so of course it's very important."
The system also applied the same words it had used to describe the female protagonist to .001.
Poor .001 was thus completely manipulated by my great host.
.001, unusually, didn't argue with the system. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, the system realized it was boring and also fell silent.
Because the cemetery where the funeral was held was in the suburbs, it took the driver about an hour to reach the destination.
By this time, a torrential downpour had begun. Yan Sui's black umbrella was actually quite large, but many raindrops still drifted down with the wind and landed on the hem of her black trench coat.
At first glance, apart from a tombstone with about a dozen people gathered around it, the cemetery was deserted.
The He family's funeral was also held in a very meager manner.
Yan Sui was walking towards her destination when a man in black suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
Yan Sui understood; it seemed the He family had secretly deployed quite a few bodyguards.
She calmly took out the invitation from her pocket, and the bodyguard checked it before leading her forward.
He Chenyu stood in the middle of the crowd, his eyes bloodshot, his eyes dark and swollen, and his stubble unshaven. He looked utterly dejected.
But Yan Sui could tell at a glance that there was no sadness in this man's eyes.
On the contrary, the woman in the wheelchair, though she had no tears, looked grief-stricken and her face was ashen.
After a moment's thought, Yan Sui realized that this person must be the one Luo Yanquan had asked her to find.
With Yan Sui's arrival, everyone's attention turned to her.
Upon seeing the newcomer, a hint of doubt flashed in He Chenyu's eyes, but he maintained his gentle and refined demeanor. "Miss Yan, what brings you here..."
Yan Sui said with a serious expression, "Mr. He, please accept my condolences. I am here on someone's behalf."
He Chenyu asked, "Who?"
Yan Sui was still wondering whether to tell He Chenyu about Luo Yanquan when she glanced at the woman in the wheelchair and, coincidentally, their eyes met.
He Chensu didn't speak. She slightly raised her left hand, and the bodyguard behind her walked towards Yan Sui. "Hello, please come with us."
After handing the flowers to the staff, Yan Sui bowed slightly to the tombstone, then said to He Chenyu, "Mr. He, I..."
He Chenyu waved his hand, "Miss Yan, you're here to see my second sister? Go ahead. You should comfort her; she's very sad."
Despite saying this, He Chenyu was full of doubts. How come he didn't know that Yan Sui knew his second sister?
In the script the system gave him, these two should have no connection whatsoever.
By the way, Yan Sui said she was asked to do it by someone, but who exactly asked her to do it?
He Chenyu gave a look to his trusted aide, signaling him to send someone to secretly follow them.
Yan Sui followed He Chensu to a nearby place. Although it wasn't far from He Chenyu's tombstone, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rainwater washed away the photos and names on the tombstone so that Yan Sui could no longer see them.
The heavy rain made He Chensu's voice indistinct; the woman's voice was extremely hoarse.
"Who are you? Who sent you to find me?"
Although there were only two bodyguards besides Yan Sui and He Chensu, Yan Sui still keenly sensed that there must be someone else secretly observing them.
He Chenyu was indeed very vigilant.
Yan Sui extended her hand holding the umbrella handle to one of the bodyguards, indicating that he should hold the umbrella for her.
The bodyguard understood and took the black umbrella handle.
The bodyguard's body partially blocked Yan Sui's view. Yan Sui stretched out her hands, seemingly to shake He Chensu's hands.
Where only He Chensu could see, Yan Sui winked at her.
Those eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses may seem dull, but they actually hide a lively spirit.
He Chensu understood Yan Sui's intention, and she also reached out and shook hands with her.
This appears to be a flawless example of etiquette and social interaction.
Yan Sui said in a heavy tone, "Hello, Ms. He. My name is Yan Sui. I am the agent of actress Jian Liyun and I also know writer Luo. Writer Luo asked me to come today. She has something to do and cannot come this time. I hope you can get over your grief soon."
There are different textures in the palm of your hand.
Yan Sui handed her something.
He Chensu immediately noticed, and the other person tightened their grip slightly. "Miss He, the person is gone. Look forward."
Did Luo Yanquan give it to me?
Yes.
The two let go of each other's hands, clearly saying nothing, but their eye contact was enough.
As Yan Sui withdrew her hand, He Chensu also discreetly hid the brocade pouch in her loose sleeve.
With the most important task completed, Yan Sui retrieved the black umbrella. "Then I won't disturb you any longer."
Judging from the current situation, Yan Sui absolutely cannot let He Chenyu know about the existence of the Peace Pouch.
But another person suddenly appeared like a ghost and blocked Yan Sui's way. That person was the same man who had locked Yan Sui and Jian Liyun out of the door that day.
He forced a smile that wasn't friendly. "Ms. Yan, Mr. He invites you in."
One of He Chensu's bodyguards immediately stepped in front of Yan Sui. Yan Sui turned to look at the woman in the wheelchair. "It's alright. Speaking of which, Mr. He and I have been working together quite a bit lately. He probably wants to talk to me about this too."
He Chensu could tell at a glance that Yan Sui was making things up, but seeing how insistent she was, she had no choice but to give up.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Let's talk about whatever we want to talk about in the cemetery."
If anything unexpected happens, at least she can help immediately.
Following He Chensu's instructions, her bodyguards stepped aside.
Yan Sui followed the man to He Chenyu's side. The rain was getting heavier and the wind was getting stronger. The umbrella could only serve a decorative purpose, and Yan Sui's clothes were almost soaked.
This damp feeling wasn't pleasant, and Yan Sui just wanted to go back and take a nice hot shower as soon as possible.
He Chenyu smiled and asked, "How did your chat with my second sister go?"
Yan Sui nodded slightly. "It's fine, but she looks like she'll be sad for a long time to come."
He Chenyu glanced at the man with an unfriendly expression, who immediately bowed deeply to Yan Sui.
“Ms. Yan, I’m sorry. Last time, due to my oversight, I forgot the time Mr. He arranged to meet you, and the lock on that room was faulty, so I accidentally locked you inside.”
...Even if you're lying, at least come up with a logically plausible reason, right?
This is just too much of a rip-off.
But she still politely said, "It's okay, everyone on the crew is very busy, it's normal to make mistakes."
He Chenyu apologized without any remorse, saying, "This was my fault. I'll treat you and Miss Jian to dinner another day."
Yan Sui smiled and said, "Okay."
Raindrops fell densely on the umbrella, making a dripping sound.
He Chenyu finally revealed his true colors. The rain was too loud, and his confidant couldn't hear what Yan Sui and He Chensu were talking about, so he had to take matters into his own hands.
"Miss Yan said she was acting on someone's behalf, but who could it be?"
The peace pouch has been successfully delivered, and Luo Yanquan seems to be preparing to slip away unnoticed. Yan Sui feels she can finally speak.
"It is Luo Yanquan."
Luo Yanquan?
He Chenyu quickly searched his mind for this person, and the only one he could recall was the variety show that Lu Shutian and Jian Liyun had both participated in not long ago.
Luo Yanquan also participated in that variety show.
But how could this person know He Chensu? These two don't have overlapping social circles, and there shouldn't be any way they could have met.
Yan Sui's arrival today has brought too many unknowns.
This immediately made He Chenyu feel a sense of crisis, and he almost couldn't maintain his composure. "I see. By the way, Miss Jian, have you recently found a teacher to learn Go?"
Why does this male lead have so many problems?
Yan Sui suppressed her impatience and asked, "Yes, what's wrong, Mr. He?"
"I wonder which Go teacher this is?"
In the blink of an eye, Yan Sui had come up with a solution.
She smiled and said, "I contacted this Go teacher, but the old man has a rather eccentric personality, so I can't reveal anything about him."
Yan Sui doesn't want to reveal her Go skills to He Chenyu for the time being, but she can still make He Chenyu focus more attention on her.
As expected, He Chenyu's eyes darted around like a hawk and a wolf, his gaze fixed on Yan Sui, his eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.
"How could you..."
Break the limitations I set?
He Chenyu realized he had spoken out of turn, so he fell silent and mentally inquired whether Yan Sui was also a consciousness awakener.
The answer is negative.
Does that mean he's also an outsider?
But his system still gave him a negative answer.
Compared to He Chenyu's anxiety, Yan Sui remained calm and composed. "Mr. He, if there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer."
He Chenyu clenched his fists, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he let out a hoarse and eerie laugh.
Patting the man beside him on the shoulder, He Chenyu said in a normal tone, "Sun Lei, see the guest out."
This was a tacit code between him and Sun Lei.
Seeing that Sun Lei was taking out his car keys, intending to drive Yan Sui away, she said, "Thank you, but no need. I can just call a car myself."
Sun Lei stepped forward and said, "Miss Yan, this is the suburbs, and with this awful weather, it's not easy to get a taxi. Let me give you a ride."
Although the bodyguards standing beside her remained silent, their presence exuded an overwhelming sense of intimidation, as if something uncontrollable would happen the next second if Yan Sui refused again.
Yan Sui raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The system cried out in panic, "[Host, this male lead practically has 'I'm going to harm you' written all over his face, why did you agree?!]"
"According to the rules of this world, we cannot directly kill the male lead, and by the same token, he cannot either. Since I am also a transmigrator and have the qualification to save the female supporting character, then in terms of the world consciousness of this world, I should have a weight that is about the same as that of the female supporting character and the female lead."
Yan Sui continued to patiently explain in her mind, "So if he is determined to kill me, he will definitely be severely punished. In that state, it will be much easier for Lu Shutian to deal with him. Once He Chenyu is dealt with, Jian Liyun's fate will naturally change as well."
“If he doesn’t decide to take action against me, he will still spend a significant portion of his attention on me, which is also advantageous for Lu Shutian.”
No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation for Yan Sui's side.
The rain continued to fall heavily, but it did not drown out Yan Sui's sigh.
She thought to herself with some regret, "I've been too busy since I came to this world and haven't had time to exercise. If I were in better physical condition, I would have more options."
[Host, we're sure we have a better solution, .001, say something!]
After a few seconds, .001 calmly said: [Transmigrator Yan Sui, I believe your actions were correct.]
The system went silent, and seeing that .001 was unreliable, it quickly went to find its superior.
Sun Lei and Yan Sui walked through the cemetery one after the other. Sun Lei held an umbrella in one hand and turned the car key in the other, revealing his thuggish nature.
Buzzing.
Yan Sui's phone started vibrating in her bag.
She took out her phone and saw the caller ID:
"The cutest Tian Tian"
Lu Shutian felt so angry when she met her this morning that she almost fainted. Why is she calling her now?
Noticing that the person behind him had stopped, Sun Lei also stopped walking forward and turned to look at Yan Sui.
Yan Sui waved her phone. "It's a work call, it's urgent. Sorry, please wait a few minutes."
After saying this, Yan Sui took a few steps back. Sun Lei understood that she probably wanted to talk about some private work-related matters, and neither he nor she should disturb her at this time.
So Sun Lei stood still and said, "Okay, Miss Yan."
The two were already five meters apart, and with the sound of rain, Sun Lei couldn't hear Yan Sui's voice at all.
She answered the phone with a calm expression, but before she could speak, she heard an urgent voice from the other end.
Lu Shutian said, both surprised and frightened:
"Sister, you went to find He Chenyu alone?!"
[Author's Note]
Xiao Lu: I was still angry when I found out my sister did something incredibly dangerous. The sky has fallen! [crying emoji]
And the next chapter is a romantic (?) run in the rain.
