Shen Xiaoyu opened the door and t Su Huan's gaze.
Sothing seed to have happened; Su Huan's face was deathly pale, her eyes looked at Shen Xiaoyu with despair, as if she had encountered sothing terrifying. Her entire body was trembling.
Shen Xiaoyu's hand gripped the doorknob tightly, the veins on the back of her hand bulging.
She looked at Su Huan, maintaining her composure. "What is it?"
Su Huan gazed at her deeply, her lips moving but unable to utter a word.
A sudden increase in the electric current made Shen Xiaoyu groan, her body leaning against the doorfra. She pretended to impatiently shake her hand, suppressing the trembling of her body with a breath caught in her chest.
"Speak quickly if you have sothing to say!"
[If I had known Su Huan had this kind of personality, I would have rather died than try to pursue her.] Shen Xiaoyu was extrely irritated.
[Damn system, is it really impossible to change the target?]
The system emitted a loud warning sound. [Host, please mind your language. Also, once a pursuit target is bound, it cannot be changed. Please face your mission target properly.]
Shen Xiaoyu clenched her fist. [One day, I will definitely smash your dog head!]
The system responded with intensified electric current.
Shen Xiaoyu was so imrsed in her argunt with the system that she completely failed to notice Su Huan's increasingly pale face and unsteady body.
By the ti Shen Xiaoyu ca back to her senses, the person in front of her had disappeared.
She frowned, looked down, and cursed under her breath, "Psycho."
Why knock on the door for no reason? Didn't she know how busy she was?
Shen Xiaoyu took a step back, and as she closed the door, her body suddenly went limp and she slid to the floor.
"Damn system, just don't let get my hands on you, or I'll definitely... Aah—" She threw her head back and cried out, almost instantly covering her mouth to stifle the sound.
[Damn system, damn system, damn system! What doesn't kill only makes stronger!]
[If you have the ability, just kill directly! Eighteen years later, I'll still be standing strong!]
Shen Xiaoyu closed her eyes, her brows contorted with pain.
She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Let the storm co even stronger!"
Almost instantly, the electric current intensified, and Shen Xiaoyu's vision went black as she passed out.
anwhile, Tang Tang, who had just exited the elevator, caught a glimpse of sothing from the corner of her eye. She pushed open the stairwell door and saw Su Huan crouching on the ground.
Su Huan's pupils were dilated, her gaze empty and bewildered, her mouth seemingly murmuring sothing.
Only when Tang Tang ca closer did she hear her voice, "How could this be? Why did it beco like this?"
The story wasn't supposed to develop in this direction. Where had things gone wrong? Why had everything turned out this way?
Tang Tang stood behind her, a flash of peculiarity crossing her eyes.
Although she didn't know what had happened, it was clear that Su Huan's condition must be related to Shen Xiaoyu. Had the two of them completely fallen out? If so, did that an she had a chance now?
Her lips curled slightly, but she quickly concealed her joy, crouched down beside Su Huan, and gently placed her arm on Su Huan's, speaking softly.
"Sister Su Huan, why are you sitting here? Your face looks so pale. Did sothing happen?"
Su Huan stared vacantly at a spot in front of her, with no mind to respond to the person beside her.
Tang Tang persisted, "If you trust , you can tell about it."
"My mother says that when people are sad, they must speak out and not keep it bottled up inside, as it's bad for the body over ti." There was a hint of tenderness in her eyes. "I'm willing to be Sister Su Huan's trash can, accepting all the negative emotions."
After speaking, she waited for a mont, carefully observing Su Huan's expression. Seeing no reaction, she frowned slightly, a trace of confusion crossing her eyes.
This wasn't right.
Whether it was good news or bad news, Su Huan would never be this lifeless, as if she hadn't heard her at all.
Tang Tang bit her lip, silently pondering what to do, when suddenly an idea ca to her.
"Sister, would you like to accompany you for a drink?" Her hand gradually moved closer to Su Huan's shoulder, inching upward. "As long as it makes you happy, I'm willing to do whatever you ask."
As Tang Tang spoke, she moved closer. If Su Huan turned her head, their lips would et.
Sothing seed to trigger Su Huan; she suddenly stood up, her shoulder striking Tang Tang's chin, causing her eyes to water with pain.
"Sister..."
"Shut up! Who allowed you to call that?" Su Huan's face suddenly darkened, her eyes revealing a fierce killing intent. "We only have a working relationship. You've crossed the line!"
Su Huan half-lowered her eyes, looking down at her. The light from above cast mottled shadows on her face, making it difficult for Tang Tang to see her expression clearly, only feeling a chill throughout her body.
"Sister, how did you..."
"I don't want to hear your voice, and aside from work, I don't want you to appear before again. If there's a next ti, I'll terminate the contract directly." Su Huan turned her head slightly. "Do you understand?"
Tang Tang sat on the ground, covering her aching chin, staring at her in shock. "Su Huan..."
She opened her mouth, but the word "sister" wouldn't co out. She could only nod timidly, "Y-Yes, I understand."
Su Huan withdrew her gaze with disgust and left the stairwell.
Su Huan walked toward her room, glancing in Shen Xiaoyu's direction before entering. Her eyes gradually dimd, and she swiped her card to enter her room, her spirit completely broken.
That night, Su Huan sat on the edge of the bed, wide awake until dawn.
As the sun rose high, Qin Miao's knock sounded at the door. "Su Huan, ti to get up. Today's scenes are all yours, so you need to go for makeup first."
Like a robot, Su Huan chanically moved her limbs, got up, and went out.
At the door, Qin Miao was handling work on her phone. Hearing the door open, she imdiately turned her head. "Su Huan, today you..."
Her voice stopped abruptly when she saw Su Huan's face. "Su Huan, didn't you sleep last night? You look terrible."
Su Huan ignored her, raising her eyes to look at the closed door opposite. Her body moved slightly as if wanting to approach, but then stopped in place, as if she had thought of sothing.
Qin Miao followed her gaze, her eyes darkening slightly.
By the ti the two arrived at the set after getting ready, the others had already finished their makeup.
Su Huan sat in front of the makeup mirror, seeing the makeup artist frown as she used concealer to hide the dark circles under her eyes.
Qin Miao chattered beside her, reminding her to rest well, while also arranging a beauty treatnt for later that evening after filming.
Su Huan listened quietly to her words without any reaction, now like an empty shell devoid of vitality.
After a full two hours of makeup, it was ti for Su Huan's scenes.
Today, once again, there were no scenes for Shi Qiubai. She had gone to the training room to learn the fighting scenes with the martial arts instructor.
As Shen Xiaoyu had said, since she was a newcor, it was better to do her own stunts if possible, which would give them one more thing to praise during future promotions.
Shi Qiubai listened to Shen Xiaoyu and went to the training room after breakfast.
Shen Xiaoyu had wanted to stay by her side to watch over her, but for so reason, she ca out and sat next to the director, scrolling through her phone.
Online, the trending topics were still about Tang Tang and Su Huan. The paparazzi had captured images of the two having dinner last night, and many people were speculating that good news was imminent.
There was even a so-called insider from the industry claiming that Su Huan was already secretly married, though they didn't ntion to whom. Many people guessed it was Tang Tang.
Shen Xiaoyu casually skipped past all those ssages, checking for information about Shi Qiubai.
However, soone discussing "Huan-Tang" had also ntioned Shi Qiubai. While quickly scrolling through Weibo, Shen Xiaoyu accidentally liked a post speculating that Tang Tang was Su Huan's secret marriage partner, taking the public opinion to a new high.
The hashtag #ShenXiaoyuLikes# quickly began trending, with many people flooding her Weibo asking if she had new information.
[Sister, you weren't saying this a few days ago. How did you change your mind so quickly?]
[Tell it was a slip of the finger! It must have been a slip! I just started following you, and I don't want to be disappointed!]
[The parasite sister is out to put on a show again, so disgusting.]
[(Haha) Has the parasite sister exposed herself as a clown? Or is she begging for rcy from my sister because she can't survive in the entertainnt industry?]
[Key that hides the power of the entertainnt industry, show your true power before . In the na of the fan who made a covenant with you, I beg you, tell the truth about 'Huan-Tang'!]
Looking at the trouble caused by her accidental like, Shen Xiaoyu held her brow in a headache, angrily patting her hands.
She wished she hadn't scrolled through Weibo. She had finally extricated herself from this ss, and now she was about to be drawn back into the storm.
At this point, no response was the best response.
Shen Xiaoyu put down her phone and looked up at the monitor. Su Huan and Tang Tang were performing a romantic scene.
Su Huan gazed at Tang Tang tenderly, her slender hand gently caressing Tang Tang's cheek, her smile growing increasingly gentle.
Tang Tang stared at her, gradually blushing, like a pure white rabbit, alluring yet timid, with an aura of tender fragility.
Everything around them seed to slow down in that mont.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Shen Xiaoyu thought she saw Su Huan turn her head to glance in her direction, but it was only for an instant before she returned to the scene, stroking Tang Tang's cheek, her tone gentle and pleading.
"Can you stay for ?"
Sothing seed to flash across Tang Tang's face, but all that remained were eyes full of tenderness looking at her as she nodded with a smile. "For you, I'm willing."
Shen Xiaoyu's brows slightly furrowed as she rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
[System, did you notice sothing odd?] She looked down at the script. [This isn't how the lines go in the script.]
The system was engrossed in the scene, its electronic voice sobbing. [But don't you think the lines are more moving after this modification? Wuu wuu wuu, why can't the female lead stay for her?]
[Life is precious, freedom is pricier, but for love's sake, both can be sacrificed!]
Shen Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes internally. [The wise don't enter the river of love, the lone king pursues their PhD! Pure, gullible, romance-brained fools will inevitably have their blood drained and kidneys harvested.]
System: ...
Why did she suddenly feel so refreshed?
