The Canary and Little Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 12

After spending a cozy morning with Lin Nanyun, Bo Shuyi checked Luo Lei’s WeChat messages, got out of bed, and headed to the company.

On the way, Bo Shuyi leaned lazily against the backrest. Her slender fingers swiped gently across the phone screen as she clicked on the Weibo post she had made last night to read the comments.

At two o’clock in the morning, there were only about thirty thousand comments; by ten o’clock in the morning, the number had reached over two hundred thousand. Bo Shuyi picked a few interesting ones to reply to. By the time she reached the company, another hashtag, #BoShuyiShowOfAffection, was hanging on the trending search list.

Bo Shuyi walked into the company, and the receptionist greeted her enthusiastically. “Beauty Bo! Good morning!”

Bo Shuyi nodded and smiled.

In the short dozens of meters from the main entrance to the elevator, everyone who saw Bo Shuyi—whether ordinary staff or signed artists—greeted her warmly. Since Wei Chunze passed away, Bo Shuyi had not received this kind of treatment for a long time.

Bo Shuyi took it in stride, not caring much for the sudden shift. These people were only being enthusiastic because Lin Nanyun was her girlfriend. Lin Nanyun’s high-profile declaration of love on Weibo made it clear that she valued her. To flatter the woman of the little princess was equal to flattering the little princess herself.

Bo Shuyi knocked and entered Luo Lei’s office. Upon seeing her, Luo Lei stood up from the sofa and asked, “You are here. Is there something you and Nanyun forgot to tell me?”

Bo Shuyi stopped in her tracks and said as if suddenly realizing, “There does seem to be one thing. Nanyun and I only confirmed our relationship yesterday afternoon. Posting on Weibo last night was an impulsive move. Uncle Luo, you are not angry, are you?”

There was a hint of a pitiable look in Bo Shuyi’s eyes that no human could resist.

“I am… not angry.”

Luo Lei was not there to interrogate her anyway. He motioned for Bo Shuyi to sit opposite him. “Regarding the smear campaign against you online, it was likely Han Fang’s doing. I am waiting for her to slip up in my hands. Your public announcement with Nanyun last night stabilized the situation. Not only did it not drag down Starlight for You, but it also gained you a huge wave of popularity. It is quite good. Director Fang Zhongyi from Strawberry TV plans to start a dating show and contacted me to invite you and Nanyun to participate.”

“A dating show? That sounds nice, but I am afraid I will not have time while filming,” Bo Shuyi said with a touch of regret. Showing off her affection in front of the whole nation was quite attractive to her.

“Do not worry about that. Fang Zhongyi said that as long as you agree, she can wait until you finish filming Starlight for You.”

A knock sounded at the door.

Luo Lei said, “Come in.”

Lin Nanyun pushed the door open and asked, “Uncle Luo, you said you had something important to discuss with me. What is it?”

Hearing Lin Nanyun’s voice, Bo Shuyi turned around with a sweet smile. “Nanyun.”

Lin Nanyun said in pleasant surprise, “Shuyi, why are you here too?” She ran to Bo Shuyi’s side and sat down next to her. “If I had known you were coming to the company, I would have picked you up from your house so we could meet sooner!”

Luo Lei, who was being completely ignored, felt speechless.

“Cough. You two were on the phone since you woke up this morning. Have you not said enough yet?” Luo Lei asked helplessly.

Lin Nanyun’s snowy little face turned pink, and she could not bear to look away from Bo Shuyi. “I can never say enough to Shuyi.”

Luo Lei thought he should not have asked.

Bo Shuyi smiled and tidied Lin Nanyun’s slightly messy hair, then selectively told her what Luo Lei had just mentioned. “I do not mind participating, but I do not know if you can.” Bo Shuyi kept her eyes on Lin Nanyun while speaking, her dark eyes shimmering with expectation, looking completely different from her casual words.

Lin Nanyun could not bear to let Bo Shuyi down and blurted out, “Of course I can participate!”

“Really? That is wonderful.” Bo Shuyi reached out and hugged Lin Nanyun in surprise. “Thank you, Nanyun. I know you are doing this for me.”

Lin Nanyun felt dizzy with happiness in Bo Shuyi’s arms, completely forgetting what she should say. She only knew that Bo Shuyi’s embrace was so warm, fragrant, and gentle that she wanted to be held by her forever.

“Cough, cough, cough!” Luo Lei coughed loudly three times to remind them that a living person was still there.

Bo Shuyi let go and said apologetically, “Sorry, Uncle Luo. I just could not help myself.”

“It is fine. Since you both agree to participate, I will contact Fang Zhongyi to prepare the contract. Shuyi, if you have nothing else to do, you can go home. I still have something to say to Nanyun. Rest well; I will accompany you to the set in a few days,” Luo Lei said.

Bo Shuyi nodded to Luo Lei and stood up to leave. Lin Nanyun held her hand, reluctant to let go.

[Host, I thought you were a calm and wise host, but I did not expect you to be so clingy when in love.]

Lin Nanyun thought proudly: You do not understand. I still feel like I am dreaming. Shuyi is actually my girlfriend!

“Alright, once you finish filming and go on that show, you can show off your affection as much as you want. Can you give me a way to live for now? I am just a poor, single old man,” Luo Lei could not help but complain.

Embarrassed by Luo Lei’s words, Lin Nanyun let go of Bo Shuyi’s hand. She walked her to the door before coming back reluctantly.

“Uncle Luo, what did you want to tell me?” With Bo Shuyi gone, Lin Nanyun finally dropped her shy behavior and spoke normally.

“Before you arrived, Shuyi told me that you two only officially confessed yesterday. Are you serious about her?”

Lin Nanyun replied, “Of course. I will stay with her forever.”

“Since you call me Uncle Luo, I feel it is necessary to remind you. I have known your father for many years and understand him well. President Lin is a businessman who prioritizes interests. He may not necessarily agree to you being with a woman of no background. You two are too high-profile on Weibo; there is no telling when he will find out. If you are not just playing around, you had better make plans early.”

It did not take more than two days for Lin Xingshan to find out about Lin Nanyun and Bo Shuyi’s relationship.

It started when Yun Man came over for a visit. After dinner, while playing chess with Lin Xingshan, she “unintentionally” mentioned that Lin Nanyun was dating a female star, vaguely expressing her envy of their high-profile romance.

Lin Xingshan frowned. After finishing the game and watching Yun Man leave, he immediately called Lin Nanyun to the study.

Lin Nanyun entered and sensed the wrong atmosphere. “Dad, did you want to see me?”

Lin Xingshan sat in the leather chair behind his desk, looking at her seriously. “I heard you are dating a small-time star?”

Lin Nanyun nodded without denying it. “Yes. Her name is Bo Shuyi, and I like her very much.” She took a deep breath, prepared to argue her case. Even if she were kicked out of the house, she would not break up with Bo Shuyi!

“I see. Date her well. Bring her home for me to see when you have time.”

Lin Nanyun froze in surprise. “Dad, you are not making us break up?”

Lin Xingshan frowned. “Do I look like the kind of feudal parent who likes to break up lovers?”

“No, no, absolutely not! You are simply too open-minded!” Lin Nanyun said immediately.

Lin Xingshan laughed. “You are quite the sweet-talker. It is getting late; go back to your room and rest.”

Early the next morning, Lin Nanyun boarded a plane in high spirits. She was going to wait for Bo Shuyi at her hotel to give her a surprise!
