Achieving A Happy Ending With The Tragic Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 82.1

With fewer and fewer scenes left, everyone entered the final wrap-up phase. The director specifically scheduled Su Mi and Guan Yue to wrap on the same day.

When the director’s final “Cut!” rang out, staff members carrying flowers emerged from all directions.

“Congratulations to both teachers for wrapping!” “Happy wrap-up!” “Teacher Su, Teacher Guan, happy wrap-up!”

Guan Yue took the flowers handed to her, her eyes involuntarily moistening. After two months of filming, though she couldn’t name everyone, many faces were deeply etched in her mind.

Su Mi handed her flowers to Xiao Xin first, took a clean tissue, and went to wipe the tears from the corner of Guan Yue’s eyes.

The people around them let out knowing cheers. Guan Yue glared at Su Mi with red eyes and tried to take the tissue to wipe herself, but her hands were full with the large bouquet.

The photographer responsible for the wrap-up special didn’t miss this opportunity and captured the scene.

In the frame, Guan Yue held the flowers, her head tilted slightly as she looked up. Her eyes shimmered with crystalline tears, a mix of mock anger and grievance. Beside her, Su Mi was turned toward her with a faint smile, the tissue in her hand gently dabbing the tears.

The frozen moment was warm and harmonious. With both parties’ consent, this photo was posted on the official account and hit the trending searches within an hour.

Under the hashtag #TheJadeWaistSlaveWrapPhoto, countless people flocked to the “Jade Waist Slave” forum. Perhaps because few had seen Su Mi show such a gentle side, everyone became intensely interested in the other actress, Guan Yue.

When Su Mi’s casting was first announced, no matter how people dug into Guan Yue’s background, her information was sparse, as if someone was protecting her. This time, when it trended again, Manager Yu called Su Mi to ask if Guan Yue had any “black history” to prevent public relations disasters, and she was terrified Su Mi might suddenly announce a relationship.

Entering the dressing room and locking the door, Su Mi thought for a moment: “She used to hate me, but now she likes me very much. Does that count?”

“…Count! Counts as your couple’s flirting!” Manager Yu hung up without another word. Crazy.

Guan Yue, who was napping, caught a few words and opened her eyes groggily. “Who hates you?” Who has such good taste?

Su Mi leaned down. “My manager said you like me.”

Guan Yue frowned. “Where did that rumor come from?”

Su Mi smiled, then kissed her on the lips. “Then do you still hate me?”

Guan Yue looked at the person before her with half-open eyes and whispered, “I hate you. I hate you the most.”

Su Mi leaned closer, her fingers brushing over her eyes. “Children who lie must be punished.”

Her voice was low and heavy, carrying a hint of seduction. Her palm gently stroked her long hair, feeling the smoothness slide through her hand. Then she moved to the warm, white neck, holding it gently. Her palm pressed against the beating carotid artery, as if controlling her lifeline.

The slender neck was tilted back slightly, and the parted lips were delivered into the mouth of the person above for careful tasting.

“This is the dressing room!” Teacher Guan’s logic was still present.

“I locked it,” Teacher Su comforted her.

“You locked it as soon as you came in?” Teacher Guan was shocked.

Su Mi pressed against her lips, rubbing them gently. “Mm.”

The itching sensation on her lips made Guan Yue subconsciously shrink back, but the back of her neck was held firmly, preventing any retreat. She was forced to open her mouth to accept a sweeping kiss that carried a hint of punishment.

Then, the seam of her lips was licked open, leaving a moist luster. Su Mi nibbled on the subtle labial tubercle between her teeth. The tip of her tongue explored deep inside, scraping against the sensitive palate, eliciting a gasp and an attempt to dodge.

Su Mi felt her arm being grabbed suddenly with a hint of unease. She felt warm fingertips land on her healed wound, but the other person seemed startled and suddenly let go, as if afraid of hurting her.

Taking advantage of this, Su Mi picked her up with one arm. She sat down in the chair, making Guan Yue sit astride her. The large vanity mirror clearly reflected the image of the two pressed tightly together.

At the same time, Su Mi held her slender wrists, slowly folding them into her palms. Her kisses today were slow and gentle, patiently lingering in every corner of the other’s mouth.

Soon, a flush appeared on Guan Yue’s face. She felt her legs grow weak from the kiss, and she could only rely on the other to keep from falling. The more gently Su Mi kissed, the more Guan Yue sensed danger.

In the gap between breaths, Guan Yue pulled back slightly. Su Mi then landed hot kisses on her jawline, sliding all the way down. With one hand on Guan Yue’s waist and the other behind her neck, she trailed dense kisses down that slender neck.

Guan Yue blinked, her breathing becoming hurried. She wanted to flee, but her mind and body were in conflict, leaving her trapped in this small shackle.

The scorching marks finally landed on the small patch of exposed collarbone. The clothing blocked the way further down, and after the hot lips lingered there for a while, they had to retreat.

Just as their lips were about to meet again, that annoying ringtone sounded persistently once more.

Su Mi didn’t want to bother with it, but the caller was stubborn, and the ambiguous atmosphere was suddenly shattered.

The awakened Guan Yue’s attention was also drawn by the ringtone. She leaned against the other’s shoulder and urged, “Answer the phone quickly.”

So Su Mi answered with suppressed irritation, her words clear and slow: “May I ask what’s the matter?”

The coldness in her voice chilled Xiao Xin on the other end. “Su… Teacher Su, where are you and Teacher Guan? The director is calling everyone for the wrap-up party activities.”

“This wrap-up party,” Su Mi looked at the person in her arms, her tone pausing, “is it mandatory?”

Xiao Xin was stumped. Her recently bumped brain worked at high speed. “…Of course, it’s not absolute.”

“Then help us…” Before Su Mi could finish, Guan Yue pushed her shoulder and slid away.

“If you don’t go, I will.” Guan Yue escaped from the “demon’s cave” in a flash, tidying her clothes in the mirror, pausing when she touched her lips.

“Thank the director for the arrangement for me.” Teacher Su, now empty-handed and deprived of beauty, hung up the phone expressionlessly.

Although called a wrap-up party, it wasn’t exactly a dinner. A space had been cleared on set, decorated with flowers spelling “Happy Wrap-up.” On long tables, there was food and a giant cake.

By the time Su Mi and Guan Yue arrived, many people were already there. Every actor who hadn’t left yet was gathered, laughing and playing. The two directors waved at them from afar.

On the way there, Su Mi and Guan Yue received congratulations from everyone. Drinks were laid out on the table. Su Mi grabbed a bottle of juice for the other.

“I don’t want this. We wrapped today, I want to drink,” Guan Yue whispered, pushing it away.

“Not letting you drink is for your own good,” Su Mi said sincerely.

Guan Yue was about to argue, but then she thought of something and silently took the juice back.

Everyone was chatting about funny stories during filming, piece by piece, as if taking everyone back to those old-fashioned sets.

As the leads wrapped, the director was the most emotional. This movie was her beloved child, and it finally had the form she wanted.

“I am so grateful to the two teachers for this work. A lot happened during this time, and Teacher Su even got injured.” The director walked over, raising a beer, her eyes turning red. “I also thank all the crew for their hard work and for tolerating my difficult personality.”

Seeing the director raise her glass, everyone joined in. “Director, you worked hard!” “Happy wrap-up!”

The voices of the crowd filled the air, somewhat noisy. When Su Mi turned her face slightly, she saw Guan Yue raising her drink, her eyes curved with smiles. The distant lights that hadn’t been turned off yet landed in her eyes like a full galaxy, scattered with starlight.

In that moment, Su Mi felt she didn’t hate this noise; instead, she found it full of the warmth of the human world, brought by the person beside her.

Guan Yue noticed Su Mi’s gaze. The proud little peacock tilted her head and leaned in. “What are you looking at?”

Su Mi said softly, “Looking at you.”

This sentence was mixed into the clamor, like a light oar skimming the water, leaving a shallow ripple. Guan Yue looked at her, her heart thumping.

“Teachers, come cut the cake!” someone shouted.

Su Mi took her hand and walked toward the cake surrounded by the crowd. She placed the knife handle in Guan Yue’s hand, her own palm covering the back of it, and they slowly cut into the sweet cake together.

The photographer ran to the front and waved. “Everyone, look here! On the count of three! One, two, three!”

Everyone looked at the camera and said in unison: “Happy wrap-up for The Jade Waist Slave!”

Click!

The camera shutter was pressed, keeping everyone in this moment. A permanent memory.

After the wrap-up party, Su Mi and Guan Yue went back to the hotel to pack. Having stayed for two months, there were many things to pack. Most would be sent via courier, they only took the important items.

However, Su Mi and Guan Yue faced a problem. They had lived together for over a month, and their things were mixed up. They couldn’t clearly distinguish whose was whose.

“Now that this is over, do you have any work next?” Su Mi asked Guan Yue, who was overwhelmed by the packing.

“None. I can count my future schedules on half a hand.” Guan Yue stuffed a piece of clothing she couldn’t identify into the suitcase.

Su Mi wanted to ask if she wanted to go back to Cloud City together, but her phone rang first. It was a call from her parents.

Su Mother asked on the other end, “Xiao Mi, are you free next Tuesday?”

“Mhm, I should be.”

“The daughter that Uncle Guan’s family found is getting engaged. If you’re free, come with us to show your face.”

As Su Mother said this, Su Mi immediately stood up to move away from Guan Yue. She wanted to lower the volume, but her finger accidentally hit the speakerphone, causing the words to echo loudly in the room.

Su Mi hung up without a word and walked to Guan Yue’s side, her face showing concern.

Guan Yue picked up a piece of clothing and silently folded it, placing it in the suitcase, repeating the action with her head down.

Su Mi reached out and pressed her hand on Guan Yue’s. “Guan Yue.”

Guan Yue, her movements stopped, sat there quietly. After a long time, the corners of her mouth curled up. There was no joy in her raised eyes, but her tone was unusually cheerful.

“My parents are inviting you to their biological daughter’s engagement party. Congratulations.”
