After Kissing the World-Weary Female Supporting Character [Transmigration] - Chapter 30

Luckily, on this floor of the presidential suite, which costs eight thousand eight hundred yuan per night, only Song Xingzi and Ji Ruyue were actors from their crew. Otherwise, if a colleague saw “the little starlet in a nightgown knocking on the investor’s door,” who knows how much gossip and trouble would be stirred up.

Song Xingzi was shivering from the cold. “Ji-Ji?”

“Come in,” Ji Ruyue opened the door and pulled her in. “Why are you wearing so little?”

“I was afraid Ji-Ji would get impatient, hehe.” The central air conditioning was running full blast. As soon as Song Xingzi entered the room, the heat made her cheeks flush, and she gently patted her face.

What is she thinking? Why is she shy and blushing?

Ji Ruyue stared at Song Xingzi’s naturally flushed cheeks, feeling puzzled. She led her to sit on the sofa. Then, Ji Ruyue—the “Conversation Failure” who was a “Master of Awkward Chat”—asked Song Xingzi woodenly, “Did you just take a shower?”

“Mm-hmm,” Song Xingzi nodded vigorously, her serious gaze moving back and forth across Ji Ruyue’s face.

Why is she looking at me like that?

Ji Ruyue frowned, slumping further into the sofa. “Are you cold?”

“I’m not cold,” Song Xingzi shook her head, her expression still serious, tinged with worry.

Ji-Ji has insomnia every day, yet she doesn’t show any dark circles. This means her kidneys are healthy. But if her kidneys are healthy, why is she still suffering from insomnia? The Little Squirrel (Song Xingzi), who had just finished searching Baidu (Chinese search engine), looked deeply distressed and didn’t know what to do.

“You,” Ji Ruyue was completely sunken into the soft sofa. Facing Song Xingzi’s burning gaze, she didn’t know how to smoothly introduce a topic, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

“Ji-Ji, why do you have insomnia? Why did you say that if I am good, you will be able to sleep well?” Thank goodness, among the two of them, there was one little chatterbox with bursting curiosity. Song Xingzi’s expression was innocent and sincere. “Are all of Ji-Ji’s dreams about me?”

W-What scandalous remark is that? If she (Ji Ruyue) didn’t know the Female Lead’s firm orientation and pure personality, Ji Ruyue would have thought that the Female Lead was also shipping their CP like the rest of the crew.

“Did you dream that Li Yebai, that scumbag, and I got together, and Ji-Ji is worried I’ll put horns on your head (i.e., cheat on you)?” Seeing Ji Ruyue’s complex expression, Song Xingzi quickly corrected herself. “Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! I didn’t mean to insult Ji-Ji’s fiancé, although, although he is very excessive already.”

I spoke too fast! I almost forgot that Ji-Ji still likes that scumbag Male Lead. They are still engaged! Ji-Ji won’t get angry with me because of that scumbag, will she? Song Xingzi cautiously observed Ji Ruyue’s expression. The other party did not get angry as she had expected. “Ji-Ji, don’t be angry. I’ll be careful next time and won’t speak ill of him.”

“It’s fine,” Ji Ruyue replied lazily. Song Xingzi’s conjecture about the nightmares provided her with a new train of thought. “The insomnia is indeed because of you.”

“Ji-Ji, please relax. I have absolutely no interest in Li Yebai! Truly!” Song Xingzi’s tone was rushed. “Ji-Ji doesn’t need to worry about me liking him at all. I’d be lucky not to hit him! He’s engaged to you, yet he still sleeps with other women, gets angry at you, and makes you upset! In this world, there is no logic in a man being promiscuous while demanding a woman’s chastity! He’s awful! I hate him!”

When my spiritual power recovers, I must beat the Male Lead to a pulp. I’ll make sure dogs chase him whenever he goes out, dirty water splashes him when he walks, and he can never get excited with women again! I absolutely won’t let Ji-Ji be bullied by him!

Hearing Song Xingzi’s emotionally charged rant, Ji Ruyue’s eyes, which were usually slightly downturned, widened in surprise. “You really hate him?”

She looks like the little animals seeing Uncle Niu (Níu Shū Shu) in the back mountain. So cute! A bittersweet longing arose in Song Xingzi’s heart. She had gradually adapted to life in this fictional world, but occasionally she still missed the home that had accompanied her for hundreds of years. Ji-Ji is so good—so cute and wonderful. Why would someone so good like the scumbag Li Yebai? This novel is so unrealistic. How annoying. Song Xingzi nodded vigorously, while the child inside her was already pouting in dissatisfaction.

Things seem too smooth. So smooth that it makes one worry. Is this the calm before the storm? Or is this world just toying with me, letting me fill up with hope only to make me crash down hard again? The pessimistic child in Ji Ruyue’s heart popped out again, like a tactless, oblivious nuisance (KY Jīng), brandishing desperate and demoralizing remarks, causing the owner’s newly lifted mood to instantly smash onto the floor.

“Song Xingzi,” Ji Ruyue called her name. Song Xingzi’s bright, expressive eyes focused on her. Ji Ruyue leaned forward, her expression weary. “You must remember what you said today. You cannot betray yourself.”

“I won’t forget,” Song Xingzi nodded seriously. “Ji-Ji, are you tired? Go to sleep if you’re tired. I’ll sing you a lullaby.”

“Pfft,” Ji Ruyue was amused by the cute contrast between Song Xingzi’s serious expression and her childish words. The dejection in her heart seemed to dissipate considerably with the laughter. This Song Xingzi is really treating me like a child to raise. “No need. You go back. Get some rest.”

Song Xingzi twisted her nightgown, feeling uneasy. She glanced at Ji Ruyue and then lowered her head, like a shy child who dared not make an excessive request but desperately wanted to.

What? Does she want to sleep with me too? Is she treating me as a child, or as an older sister? Ji Ruyue leaned back, letting her back sink into the sofa, and asked lazily, “What is it?”

Song Xingzi mustered her courage. “Ji-Ji, I have to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow. You didn’t even eat breakfast today. I…”

I knew it. Ji Ruyue frowned. Although she didn’t dislike living with Song Xingzi, the rumors about the two of them were already spreading wildly in the crew. If she also slept with Song Xingzi, wouldn’t Song Xingzi’s career be tainted forever by her, the sugar daddy?

“You want to stay here? Although it’s a suite with two bedrooms, but…”

“No, no, no,” Song Xingzi’s eyes widened, and she waved her hands repeatedly, seemingly startled by Ji Ruyue’s words. “I just want Ji-Ji’s key card! Otherwise, I’ll have to knock and wake Ji-Ji up to open the door tomorrow morning!”

Ji Ruyue: “…” The self-slap came too quickly. She pointed listlessly at the small round table next to the floor-to-ceiling window. “It’s over there. Go and get it.”

“Ji-Ji, are you unhappy? If you want, I’m willing to stay and sleep with you! Maybe that way you can sleep a little better.”

Why is she acting like she’s making a great sacrifice? Ji Ruyue listlessly examined Song Xingzi’s martyr-like demeanor and felt annoyed. She recalled the times she had recently slept peacefully. Wait, it seems they were all related to her?

One time was at the very start of the plot, when I (Ji Ruyue) slept until eleven o’clock. The other was on the way to the company, when Song Xingzi was telling me the plot, and the dream finally wasn’t a scene of falling. Is there a connection between these two instances? Ji Ruyue frowned in contemplation, not even noticing when Song Xingzi had left.
