After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 67

“Oh my god! It’s Actress Gu!”

“When a woman is this dashing, men might as well not exist!”

“Why is Actress Gu here at the ‘Su Yue Story’ set? Does she have a role in it?”

“I think Actress Gu is here to visit someone! The XiaoYing CP must be real!”

“…”

The appearance of Gu Shengxiao and her assistant Lin Zhiya at the entrance of the set immediately made the entire crew pause their work.

Several people gathered to chat, speculating about the reason for Gu Shengxiao’s presence.

Xu Huanhuan looked up at the sound, feeling as though the heavens had heard her prayers.

She abruptly stood up from her chair, excitedly grabbing Gao Tian’s hand and exclaiming, “Tian Tian! Look! It’s Gu Shengxiao, the acclaimed actress!”

Oh my, her idol!!!

To think she’d appear here on set does that mean Gu Shengxiao will play a role in her story?

At this thought, Xu Huanhuan hurriedly flipped through the script in her hands, rustling the pages noisily, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

Their seating position offered an unobstructed view, with no chance of being blocked by anyone.

The excited Xu Huanhuan and the bewildered Gao Tian were both clearly visible to the other party.

Gu Shengxiao recognized Gao Tian she was Fang Qingying’s assistant. In other words, if Fang Qingying was filming, she would come over once done; if not, she would be sitting nearby.

She walked toward where Gao Tian was.

Gao Tian maintained a neutral expression but was internally panicking: “…”

Don’t come over here!

She hadn’t figured out how to win her partner back yet, and now her partner had caught her whispering with another girl.

Gao Tian felt her life was over.

“Hello, Gao Tian,” Gu Shengxiao said, standing before them with a standard polite smile.

Beside her, Assistant Lin stared darkly at the overly excited Xu Huanhuan, clearly displeased with her every move.

Her gaze was icy, as if sizing up a rival.

Gao Tian forced a smile and said, “Actress Gu, hello. Sister Ying is filming right now. Would you like to sit and wait?”

As she spoke, she moved aside to offer the seat next to her for Gu Shengxiao.

Gao Tian cautiously edged closer to Lin Zhiya, her mind buzzing with things she wanted to say. But the moment her eyes fell on Lin Zhiya’s profile, she deflated.

Yaya looked furious. If she spoke now, it would mean certain doom.

Xu Huanhuan seemed oblivious to the brewing storm around her. Like an enthusiastic fan, she approached Gu Shengxiao and exclaimed excitedly, “Actress Gu, hello! I’m your fan!”

The moment Gu Shengxiao lifted her gaze to meet hers, Xu Huanhuan felt as if dozens of groundhogs were screaming wildly inside her.

Ahhh!

Why is my goddess so beautiful!

Her divine looks are killing me!

“Hello, it’s my honor,” Gu Shengxiao said with a gentle smile, looking at Xu Huanhuan’s flushed face and extending her hand. “May I know your name?”

“No, no, the honor is mine!” Xu Huanhuan eagerly shook her hand, shaking her head excitedly. “My name is Xu Huanhuan. I’m the original author and current screenwriter of ‘Su Yue Story.'”

“How impressive,” Gu Shengxiao replied smoothly, withdrawing her hand with a nod of approval. “May I ask you for a favor?”

“What favor? I’ll definitely help!” Xu Huanhuan agreed without a second thought.

At this moment, she felt incredibly fortunate to have the chance to help her goddess, and it filled her with happiness.

“Actually, I have a small opinion about the character ‘Palace Mistress Hua.’ I heard the crew wants to add more scenes for her, and I have a few suggestions. I’m not sure if they’ll work, though.” Gu Shengxiao smiled, a hint of shyness on her face.

This scene struck Xu Huanhuan’s heart like an arrow from Cupid.

Oh my, everything my goddess does is absolutely beautiful!

“Of course, go ahead, Goddess!” Xu Huanhuan nodded, clutching the thick script tightly.

As long as it didn’t involve drastically altering the storyline of ‘Palace Mistress Hua,’ she could accept most changes. Well, no matter what suggestions her goddess proposed, she would definitely praise her!

“I think the romantic subplot for ‘Palace Mistress Hua’ could be enriched. In the current storyline, although she serves to drive the plot forward, her emotional arc remains vague and unclear.”

“To develop a character fully, a romantic storyline is essential. Look at how ‘Palace Mistress Hua’ has always been kind to the male lead, yet there’s no indication that she likes him.”

Before Gu Shengxiao could finish, Xu Huanhuan interrupted her.

“The male lead is just trash, how could he ever be worthy of my ‘Palace Mistress Hua’?”

Especially since the inspiration for this character came from Gu Shengxiao herself, Xu Huanhuan was practically determined to make ‘Palace Mistress Hua’ a strong female supporting character. If conditions allowed, she’d even consider writing a separate book just for ‘Palace Mistress Hua’!

Not far away, the actor playing the male lead, who had just finished filming, happened to overhear Xu Huanhuan’s remark. The male lead actor: ???

Thanks, I feel offended.

As for the others who heard Xu Huanhuan’s comment, they simply chuckled inwardly. Whatever makes you happy.

It’s one thing to favor a character you created over the original female lead, but to reject the male lead entirely?

“Mhm.” Gu Shengxiao nodded. “So, I’d like you to add another character to serve as ‘Palace Mistress Hua’s’ CP.”

“!!!” Xu Huanhuan stared wide-eyed at Gu Shengxiao, seemingly shocked by the suggestion.

Instantly, she switched from fangirl mode into serious screenwriter mode.

“You’re absolutely right, Actress Gu. Let’s discuss this in the break room.” Xu Huanhuan adjusted her glasses and spoke with utmost seriousness.

The moment Gu Shengxiao mentioned “CP,” Xu Huanhuan’s mind flooded with thoughts about the XiaoYing CP pairing.

Don’t underestimate her, she was the top fanfiction writer in the XiaoYing CP fandom, rising quickly to fame!

Seeing Gu Shengxiao offer herself up so willingly, Xu Huanhuan felt she couldn’t let this golden opportunity slip away.

“Alright.” Gu Shengxiao nodded.

She turned to Lin Zhiya, who seemed distracted, and said, “Xiao Lin, could you wait here? I need to discuss something with Screenwriter Xu.”

Lin Zhiya nodded in agreement. “Sure.”

By now, she had completely forgotten the instructions Yu Lu had given her before they set out.

Here’s what happened:

Upon learning that Gu Shengxiao wanted to visit Fang Qingying on set, Yu Lu rushed over in her car to find Lin Zhiya, who was packing her things at school, and incidentally got misunderstood by someone in the process.

She had instructed Lin Zhiya to keep a close watch on Gu Shengxiao and make sure she didn’t do anything foolish for love.

For example working for no pay, just for a minor role especially if that role had any connection to the character played by Fang Qingying.

Yu Lu had already witnessed her boss losing all rationality for love and was terrified she would end up contradicting herself.

They had agreed on two projects a year, one film and one television drama.

Yet now, she was practically volunteering to play a supporting role for Fang Qingying.

Yu Lu was absolutely certain that Gu Shengxiao would do something like this.

Seeing how anxious Yu Lu was, Lin Zhiya agreed.

But given the current situation.

Lin Zhiya’s mind went blank.

The moment she saw Xu Huanhuan leaning close to Gao Tian, she felt her breathing turn chaotic.

Xu Huanhuan’s outfit was almost identical to what she used to wear in school, which made Lin Zhiya wonder, what exactly was Gao Tian’s type?

Did she really like such a plain, rigid style?

Or was it that, despite the same style, Gao Tian didn’t like her but preferred Xu Huanhuan instead?

That realization nearly made Lin Zhiya turn and flee. Thankfully, her strong professional composure kept her rooted in place.

Gao Tian, who had been waiting for Lin Zhiya to speak, finally looked up and realized the other woman wasn’t just still angry, she seemed even more upset.

Trembling slightly, Gao Tian cautiously tugged at the hem of Lin Zhiya’s clothes and asked, “Yaya, could you take me out of your blacklist?”

She had thought long and hard, and this was the only topic she could come up with.

What else could she say? Should she talk about how she had neglected her own girlfriend?

That wouldn’t be an attempt at reconciliation, it would be a one-way ticket to disaster.

Some people are like this: they clearly like someone but don’t realize it until the other person is about to leave. Then, in a panic, they say all the wrong things, drive the person further away, and end up timidly begging for forgiveness.

Lin Zhiya replied indifferently, “Blacklist? I don’t have one.”

She had simply changed her phone number, so it was only natural that Gao Tian couldn’t reach her.

“But I couldn’t get through to your number,” Yu Lu said pitifully.

“Haven’t we always been like this before?” Lin Zhiya looked at her, puzzled.

If she had chosen to ignore her own girlfriend all along, why come looking for her now?

“……” Gao Tian was left speechless. Clenching her fists, she lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sorry, Yaya. I was wrong.”

Her mistake lay in neglecting Lin Zhiya’s feelings.

It wasn’t until the day Lin Zhiya blocked her and she couldn’t reach her no matter what she tried that Gao Tian suddenly woke up.

The person she loved was Lin Zhiya.

That bet back then, she had deliberately chosen Lin Zhiya.

They hadn’t gotten together by accident. It was all part of her plan.

But at the time, she had been completely clueless, and she had ended up missing out on Lin Zhiya for so long.

“How could you possibly be wrong? Miss Gao Tian, you’re still surrounded by admirers. Who am I to interfere?” As she spoke, Lin Zhiya took a step back, as though creating distance would draw a clear line between them.

Hearing this, Gao Tian’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Lin Zhiya’s hand excitedly, her voice trembling with uncertainty as she asked, “Yaya are you jealous right now?”

Jealous because she had stood too close to Xu Huanhuan earlier.

If that were the case, then it meant she wasn’t the only one with feelings, right?

Yaya still liked her.

The thought sent a warm current flowing through Gao Tian’s heart, filling her with warmth and sweetness.

“You’re overthinking it.” Lin Zhiya paused slightly, turning around with a frosty expression as she refused, “What on earth gave you the illusion, Ms. Gao Tian, that I might like you?”

“Well, it’s me who likes you.” Gao Tian lowered her head, noticing the missing corner of the fabric she had been holding, then stepped forward to stand beside Lin Zhiya again, shamelessly declaring, “It’s me who’s hopelessly infatuated with you.”

“Ms. Gao Tian, please keep your distance. My clothes are expensive and can’t withstand being tugged at like that.” As if struck by the truth of her own feelings, Lin Zhiya flushed with embarrassment and snatched back the corner of her garment.

She didn’t even realize how sour her words sounded, as if she had just emerged from a vat of vinegar.

As the saying goes, like boss, like employee.

If the boss is the embodiment of a vinegar jar, so is the employee.
