When people are in danger, they often unleash great potential.
This was what happened to Yun Shuning. In just a few seconds, her brain was working rapidly, and in a flash, she suddenly remembered the scene in the book where the female supporting character was imprisoned.
In the book, she is just a cannon fodder female supporting role, how could she possibly have a real negative impact on the heroine?
After the results of the costume contest came out, the male supporting character in the book who was madly in love with the heroine came to the prison and told her in a vicious way that it was thanks to her that the heroine was able to win the championship of this competition.
It turned out that the chief judge of this competition, for some personal reasons, particularly disliked the element of roses, and the design of the heroine that she destroyed happened to be based on the theme of roses.
Although the chief judge cannot ignore the opinions of other judges, he still has the ability to adjust the rankings. If the heroine uses this dress to compete, she may win a prize, but she will definitely not be the champion.
When the heroine first started designing, she prepared two sets of plans. After the first set was destroyed, she immediately started preparing the second set, so she doesn't appear here now.
After the supporting actress learned the news, she, who had already been tortured by the people in prison and could no longer bear it, became crazy and her hatred for the heroine reached its peak.
How could the people who love the heroine let such a madman be released from prison?
Thinking of this, Yun Shuning turned away from looking at He Chen and looked out the window: "Your first fiancée was used by you and then abandoned, and her family was destroyed."
"Do you really have the emotion of love?"
He Chen closed his eyes helplessly. He could probably guess what kind of image of him she had in her mind.
But he really didn't know how he gave her the illusion that he didn't like Lin Wan and was using her.
"How could I possibly use and hurt the person I love..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the undisguised mockery in her eyes.
"You mean, even though you have had countless flirts with people in recent years and have many close female partners, you still like Lin Wan?"
Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "You clearly knew that Chief Judge Denton Alkwin hated rose elements the most, but just because you liked it, you concealed it and asked Lin Wan to design a dress that would offend the Chief Judge. Is this also a sign that you like her?"
"It's really creepy that you like this."
At first, He Chen could find reasons to refute her question, but after hearing her next words, he froze in his tracks: "You said that Judge Alkwin doesn't like the rose element?"
How is that possible?
Alkwin is an internationally renowned fashion designer, known as the father of luxury brands, but he has never publicly expressed his preferences.
Given his status, even if he just frowned at a work, it would cause a small turmoil in the fashion circle.
Therefore, no one knows what he likes or hates.
"Mr. He, your acting skills are really poor." Yun Shuning looked at him with a suspicious expression and raised his eyebrows slightly.
If she hadn't read the entire novel, she would have never known about the judges' secret preferences.
She knew that He Chen was innocent in this matter, but that didn't stop her from taking advantage of it.
He Chen took a deep breath: "How did you know..."
He suddenly stopped talking halfway. If she really had a relationship with her uncle, then everything could be explained.
Yun Shuning looked at his thoughtful expression and breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that she has gotten away with it today.
But she has always been careful, and the closer it gets to the end, the more cautious she should be.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." She stared at him, turned around calmly, her previously tense body slowly relaxed, and her voice returned to its initial calmness. "If I'm not missing tomorrow, I'll send you my resignation letter."
After saying that, she walked straight towards the door. When she reached the door, she stopped and added calmly, "By the way, if Mr. He wants to solve the problem through legal means, I welcome you at any time."
He Chen stared blankly at her back without any reluctance. After a long time, he pinched his nose tiredly.
What happened today was too bizarre, and he needed to sort it out.
Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone and made a call: "Help me check someone."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at his profile reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window, and suddenly remembered the way Yun Shuning stared at his profile in a daze.
At that time, he thought this was a sign that she liked him, but now - he turned around and looked directly at the figure reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window, and suddenly found that his face was somewhat similar to that of his uncle, especially the profile.
Yun Shuning, who is she to my uncle?
Friends? Or... lovers?
After Yun Shuning walked out of the office, he ignored the obscure gazes coming from all directions, walked to the workstation without looking away, relying on the original owner's memory, and picked up the original owner's coat and bag.
As soon as she walked out of the company's door, she shivered in the cold wind. The weather in Kyoto in December was terribly cold. From time to time, a gust of cold wind blew, making her cheeks hurt.
She was only wearing a thin sweater and a pair of trousers. The coat she was wearing on the outside was leaking air everywhere. For a moment, she felt that she had been frozen to the point of losing consciousness.
Although she knew that the probability of He Chen observing her upstairs was small, she still remained immersed in the role, standing straight and looking blankly ahead.
It seems like he is in deep thought, or perhaps he is offering sacrifice.
Many people passed by her and looked at her with either pity or surprise.
"Is this young lady heartbroken?"
"I don't know, but she looks so sad, as if she lost something very important."
“I hope she can get over it soon.”
…
After standing in the cold wind for about ten minutes, Yun Shuning, feeling that he had performed well enough, moved his stiff fingertips and gently stretched out his hand.
A taxi stopped in front of her smoothly.
"Mr. He, these are the materials that Designer Lin urgently needs..." Assistant Wang looked at the man who was staring out the window in a daze, and immediately adjusted his strategy. He opened the file he was going to hand to He Chen and calmly read the words on it.
In the past, Mr. He always put Designer Lin’s requirements first, but this was the first time he acted so indifferent.
However, as a top assistant, he never showed his doubts on the surface. All he needed to do was obey. As for the rest, he could slowly figure it out after work - if he could really get off work on time.
"Find these things and send them to Wanwan as soon as possible." After seeing the almost unrecognizable figure getting into the car downstairs, He Chen turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Assistant Wang closed the file and said without asking any questions, "Yes."
In the taxi, the taxi driver with gray hair looked at the figure in the rearview mirror and shook his head with a sigh.
"Girl, listen to me, there is nothing in life that you can't overcome." He turned on the radio and found a relaxing song, "You are so young now, heartbreak, unemployment, these are just trivial matters..."
Hearing the driver's concerned voice, Yun Shuning turned his eyes away from the window.
She is very confused now, not knowing whether she is dreaming or not, and she doesn't know what to do.
However, listening to the driver's warm and sincere chatter, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of reality.
Even though she came into this world alone, there was someone who cared about her, even if it was just a stranger.
"Thank you." She lowered her head to hide the confusion on her face. When she raised her head again, her expression became more sincere. "I'm fine."
After getting off the car, Yun Shuning came to the apartment where the original owner currently lived according to her memory.
After closing the door, she still maintained her original expression, took out the mobile phone that the original owner had put in her bag, downloaded an app that could check the cameras, and walked around the apartment.
After making sure it was safe, she collapsed onto the bed.
She pinched her arm viciously, without holding back.
"hiss--"
"It turns out I'm not dreaming." Yun Shuning rubbed his sore arm, looked around the extremely unfamiliar apartment, and closed his eyes tiredly.
Since all this is true, then the lie she just told in front of the hero...
Yun Shuning sat up in shock from his dying illness, and the vague sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Will she really live to see the end of this novel?
If she remembered correctly, the female supporting character with the same name as her in the novel repeatedly targeted the female protagonist, often revealing the male protagonist's love history after the female protagonist left, trying to break up the two of them.
After the hero and heroine reunited, three out of five quarrels were caused by her.
If these charges were enough to land her in a mental hospital, then the fact that she pretended to be the hero's uncle's girlfriend should keep her there until she died.
It is impossible for the male protagonist to believe her one-sided story. He should be looking for someone to investigate her and He Yan’s past.
What past could she and He Yan have?
Yun Shuning covered her face with her hands to hide the despair on her face.
But she didn't regret telling the lie, and she hoped to live one more day.
Before He Yan disappeared, the original owner was just an ordinary college student. It was impossible for her to have the chance to meet him, let alone start a passionate love with him that spanned life and death.
The most important thing now is to find the intersection between the original owner and He Yan, even if it is just a passing by, or just a distant view.
Just once.
The original owner was just one of the many vicious female characters in the book, and the book did not focus too much on her.
Yun Shuning stretched out her hand and pressed it against her forehead. Since she couldn't find the answer from the known novels, she could only rely on the original owner's memory.
She was able to recall the original owner's memories, but they were all gray and hazy, as if separated by a layer of gauze.
The original owner, like her, had lost her parents when she was very young. The difference between her and her was that the original owner was not sent to an orphanage, but was raised by different relatives.
Life under someone else's roof is certainly not easy, and this has shaped the original owner into being good at observing people's words and expressions and disguising his or her character.
The same is true when facing the male protagonist He Chen.
The original owner knew that the male protagonist He Chen had someone he liked, and she also knew from the attitudes of other people why she was treated preferentially, but she still pretended to know nothing.
In private, the original owner found out about the relationship between the hero and heroine and how they got along with each other, and subtly imitated some of the heroine's traits, such as strength, courage, independence and self-reliance.
At the same time, she also knows that she can't always be just a substitute, so in the process of getting along with the male protagonist, she has been deepening the differences between herself and the female protagonist. For example, the female protagonist likes to laugh, a gentle laugh, a happy laugh, while the original owner behaves in the opposite way of the female protagonist. She is exceptionally calm and steady.
The original owner did not show her love for the male protagonist to anyone. She knew that some things would not be cherished if they came too easily.
If her liking was exposed, she would be no different from those women who liked the male protagonist.
She only treats the male protagonist in a businesslike manner, but she will inadvertently let him realize that she cares about him in an ambiguous way.
In a sense, if the heroine had not come back, maybe she would have really succeeded after a while.
But the heroine is back.
The original owner seemed to have lost her initial rationality and began to instigate the supporting female character to target the heroine. She also had people secretly spread the heroine's half-true and half-false love history after the heroine left.
Thinking of this, Yun Shuning put down the hand that was supporting his forehead and rubbed his legs and feet which had become numb from staying in the same posture for a long time.
I don't know whether I should be thankful or not, the original owner never took action herself, and mostly used others to kill people, except for the fact that she destroyed the dress herself.
In this case, the lie she told seemed to have some truth to it.
After all, from another perspective, everything she did seemed to be telling the heroine the true face of the hero.
However, the most important thing now is to find a way to find or fabricate an encounter with He Yan.
What to do?
Yun Shuning looked at the photo on the wall not far away, and her heart moved slightly: she seemed to have found their first encounter.
