After Transmigrating Into The Body Of A Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character, I Stumbled Into A Shura Field - Chapter 5
So flirty… I feel like I’m falling in love again!
She’s stunning… Even if I’m not a fan, I’m completely smitten!
Cai Cai, why is your camera shaking so much? Aaaaaah, it’s making me seasick!
Did Cai Cai forget she’s live? Hurry up and show us more of that beauty!
*******
Since the next part of the schedule wasn’t coordinated with the production team, Cai Cai had to reluctantly end the stream.
“Please support Two Lives Flower! We’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes stories through interview videos on all major platforms. Your support means the world to us!”
Cai Cai shifted the camera slightly, revealing Su Yining’s radiant beauty. The soft lighting on the way to the production team’s lunch made everyone glow with a luminous radiance.
Su Yining smiled at the camera. “Please support Two Lives Flower and give Teacher Xiao all your love!”
[Support! Support!]
[Wifey, look at me!]
[Waaah, she’s so beautiful]
*****
After closing the stream, Cai Cai walked with Su Yining. Su Yining naturally positioned herself half a step behind Cai Cai, a subtle gesture of respect that also allowed her to promptly attend to Cai Cai’s needs.
It seemed Su Yining wasn’t as bad as Cai Cai had imagined.
While Cai Cai was momentarily stunned, Su Yining suddenly asked with genuine curiosity, “Teacher Cai Cai, you’re quite famous in the industry. Do you have any favorite celebrities?”
Cai Cai hadn’t expected this question, and a flicker of surprise crossed her mind.
Quickly regaining her composure, she began exchanging flattery with Su Yining: “Actually… I’m a big fan of Teacher Ning! You’re incredibly popular among netizens.”
“Really?” Su Yining asked, her eyes sparkling with interest.
“Absolutely!” Cai Cai replied swiftly, sincerely praising Su Yining. “Teacher Ning, you’re truly stunningly beautiful.”
Under Su Yining’s expectant gaze, she then added insincere details, “I wholeheartedly supported your recent magazine cover and all those endorsements!”
[Looks like she’s a genuine fan!]
Su Yining, having never had fans before, gazed at Cai Cai with soft, adoring eyes, her face glowing with genuine warmth.
Cai Cai felt her cheeks flush. She fervently wished this conversation would end soon.
If the conversation didn’t change, she might not be able to maintain her stance any longer—
She was Su Yining’s staunchest critic.
Cai Cai maintained a prominent online persona that openly detested Su Yining, serving as the leader of the actress’s detractors with considerable influence.
*****
Initially, Cai Cai had dismissed Su Yining’s acting skills and resented the actress’s good fortune in being cast alongside Xiao Yingchu in a film.
It could be said that Cai Cai’s fondness for Xiao Yingchu was matched only by her loathing for Su Yining. She believed Su Yining had ruined the film from the start, wasting Xiao Yingchu’s time.
At the time, Two Lives Flower was touted as a potential award contender. But when the casting was announced, doubts arose not only about its chances at awards, but even its ability to meet basic cinematic standards.
Cai Cai had always despised Su Yining, and even during today’s live stream of Su Yining filming, she harbored the vile desire to see the actress embarrass herself.
But after actually interacting with Su Yining, the online symbol transformed into a living, breathing person—and surprisingly, a good one.
“Thank you for your support, Teacher Cai Cai. I’ll work even harder,” Su Yining said with a smile. She collected the crew’s boxed lunches for Cai Cai. “Let’s go eat lunch.”
Su Yining led Cai Cai to the lunch area and found a spot to sit down.
Cai Cai observed Su Yining’s expression and noticed that Su Yining seemed genuinely happy and pleased that Cai Cai liked her and was her fan.
Cai Cai felt a pang of guilt.
Seeing Su Yining had brought three boxed lunches, Cai Cai tried to start a conversation. “Teacher Yining, is this for Teacher Xiao?”
“Hmm?” Su Yining instinctively glanced toward Xiao Yingchu at the mention of her name, their eyes meeting briefly.
The corners of Su Yining’s lips twitched slightly.
Xiao Yingchu also noticed the three lunches. Including Cai Cai, who was live-streaming at the set today, there seemed to be an extra portion.
Is it for Sister Wang… or is she waiting for someone?
Xiao Yingchu’s heart stirred as she recalled Su Yining’s searching gaze earlier. The smile Su Yining had just shared had been pale and forced, as if she was pretending to be happy.
Xiao Yingchu frowned.
Sister Tang, Xiao Yingchu’s agent, happened to be delivering lunch boxes when she saw Su Yining eating with Cai Cai, who was live-streaming from the set that day.
“Is Sister Wang not here today?” Xiao Yingchu suddenly asked.
“No,” Sister Tang replied. “Apparently, a new big shot joined their company, and she rushed off early this morning to deal with this hot potato.”
“What’s going on?” Xiao Yingchu asked, a rare question from her.
Sister Tang frowned. “The Shen family’s youngest daughter has been found, and they’re planning to launch her career through Shen Entertainment. Su Yining is signed with Shen Entertainment, and while Sister Wang isn’t particularly skilled, she’s good to her artists. The Shen family probably values that and wants to transfer Sister Wang over. It’s Su Yining who’s in a tough spot now. Her agent has been reassigned, and who knows if she’ll have to make way for that little princess in the future?”
Xiao Yingchu hadn’t expected Su Yining to face such a situation.
Su Yining, likely unaware of where Sister Wang had gone, had even grabbed an extra lunch box, waiting for her to eat together.
Xiao Yingchu’s gaze softened slightly. She turned to Sister Tang and said, “Let’s go eat over there.”
Sister Tang was somewhat surprised. Xiao Yingchu wasn’t usually the type to form deep connections with actors from the same production, but she seemed to have changed her ways this time.
And so, Xiao Yingchu and Sister Tang joined Su Yining and Cai Cai at the table.
Cai Cai’s heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of her throat!
Xiao… Xiao Yingchu!
It was the Teacher Xiao, alive and in person!
“Teacher Xiao,” Cai Cai called out, her voice trembling with excitement, unable to keep the tightness from her voice.
Xiao Yingchu nodded at Cai Cai. “Teacher Cai Cai,” she said, her eyes brightening. “I’ve seen your videos. They’re really impressive.”
“T-thank you, Teacher Xiao,” Cai Cai replied, barely restraining herself from jumping up and down in excitement.
Su Yining mechanically opened her box lunch. So that’s how it is.
Cai Cai’s devotion to Xiao Yingchu was genuine; her affection for Su Yining might have been fleeting and polite at best… Hmph, women.
Su Yining channeled her disappointment into appetite, silently commemorating this moment of losing one true fan.
Xiao Yingchu noticed Su Yining’s dejection.
She couldn’t do much to help Su Yining with the Shen Entertainment situation, and with Cai Cai present today, it wasn’t the right time to bring it up. Instead, she took the extra box lunch Su Yining had brought, sat beside her, and offered silent comfort.
Xiao Yingchu casually took the second box lunch Su Yining had picked up. When Su Yining looked up, Xiao Yingchu gave her an encouraging smile.
“I heard Sister Wang has a sudden emergency today,” Xiao Yingchu reminded Su Yining, implying that since Sister Wang wasn’t around, there was no need to wait. “I didn’t grab one, so I’m going to dig in to this extra.”
Su Yining’s eyes widened.
She knew Sister Wang had returned to the company.
This meant the female lead was coming, and Su Yining was about to be replaced.
Su Yining irritably poked at the braised pork in her lunch with her chopsticks.
But the braised pork looked delicious—
Her mood, tangled as it was, began to improve.
Even if life was full of disappointments, one still had to eat.
And for Su Yining right now, it wasn’t just about eating, but eating enough.
If she got kicked off the set, with only over a thousand yuan left in her account, she might never get to enjoy such a delicious box lunch again… sob!
Since binding her Martial Soul, Su Yining found herself ravenous after filming and needed to eat a lot. Naturally, she had grabbed two box lunches for herself.
But Xiao Yingchu had taken her second lunch—
“The two box lunches Sister Tang has…” Sister Tang seemed to have gotten them for you. She put down my lunch.
“I-I’m eating both myself. I didn’t get one for Yingchu,” Sister Tang gritted out a forced smile, following Xiao Yingchu’s unspoken cue.
“Then I’ll get another portion,” Su Yining suggested.
“Don’t overeat when you’re feeling down,” Xiao Yingchu said, concerned. “And don’t push yourself.”
Su Yining was gently pressed back into her seat.
Halfway through the meal…
Sister Tang never expected that Su Yining would actually bear to watch her eat two portions!
Under Su Yining’s eager gaze, Sister Tang hesitantly opened her second box lunch with visible effort.
Su Yining’s stomach growled loudly; she was starving as she watched Sister Tang.
Sister Tang’s belly bulged; she was stuffed as she watched Su Yining.
The moment their eyes met, an indescribable sadness seemed to spread between them.
Seeing how painfully Sister Tang was struggling to eat, Su Yining couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Tang, why don’t you just give me the extra portion?”
“That doesn’t seem right,” Sister Tang hesitated.
“I swear I’m really hungry, not just eating because I’m upset!” Su Yining insisted.
Though unconvinced, Sister Tang still handed over the second portion.
Under the shocked and concerned gazes of everyone present, Su Yining finally devoured the second box lunch with complete satisfaction.
Ah, that’s bliss!
A radiant smile spread across Su Yining’s face, completely oblivious to the three stunned faces around her, their worldviews shattered.
Su Yining… you’re a… female celebrity! How on earth can you eat so much?!
The three onlookers couldn’t help but wear expressions of extreme shock.
*******
Cai Cai finally broke the stunned silence. “Ahem, teachers, we have an exclusive interview this afternoon—”
Lunchtime finally ended, and Su Yining, Xiao Yingchu, and Cai Cai needed to prepare for the upcoming interview.
Just then, Su Yining remembered that Xiao Yingchu’s bracelet was still in her possession. She hurriedly called out to Xiao Yingchu, “Teacher Xiao—”
At the same time, Sister Wang’s voice rang out from afar, “Yining!”
Sister Wang was back?
Su Yining and Xiao Yingchu instinctively turned toward Sister Wang.
Beside Sister Wang stood a reserved yet adorable girl, craning her neck to peer curiously at Su Yining and Xiao Yingchu.
“This is the Shen family’s daughter they just recovered,” Xiao Yingchu explained quietly to Su Yining as she approached.
“As for matters within Shen Entertainment Company, I have no standing to interfere.”
Xiao Yingchu added, “Whatever happens, we’re friends. If you need anything, feel free to ask for my help.”
Su Yining froze for a moment, thinking, Xiao Yingchu is already drawing a line after meeting the female lead just now?
Of course we’re friends. Your future love interest is standing right there with Sister Wang.
The power of the plot was undeniable! How thrilling!
Just as Su Yining was starting to enjoy the drama, Shen Zixuan and Sister Wang had already approached them.
