The Canary and Little Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 17

Bo Shuyi did not answer, so Zhao Ruirui took it as a silent confirmation.

“How did you manage to invite Teacher Yishu to help you revise the lines? Do you know her?” Zhao Ruirui stood up excitedly and stared at Bo Shuyi.

The name Yishu was the dream of every screenwriter, a legend that no one could surpass. Zhao Ruirui had become a screenwriter primarily because she was influenced by Yishu. In her heart, Yishu was her mentor.

Luo Yunqi and Liu Yong also waited for the answer from Bo Shuyi.

Bo Shuyi hesitated. “Mhm. I suppose I know her.”

“How could you know Teacher Yishu?” Zhao Ruirui asked. She wondered why she was not the one who knew her instead.

“I just have known her since I was young,” Bo Shuyi replied.

“Ah, you have known her since you were young. Your luck is truly good.” Zhao Ruirui looked at Bo Shuyi with a gaze full of envy and jealousy.

Liu Yong added, “Teacher Yishu has always been mysterious. Even the screenwriters in her studio do not know her specific age or appearance. Shuyi, could you reveal a little bit to us?”

The eyes of Zhao Ruirui lit up instantly. “Yes, exactly! Also, could you introduce me to Teacher Yishu?”

Bo Shuyi was silent. She thought about her specific age and appearance: nineteen years old and a great beauty. As for an introduction, it was absolutely impossible; that would only expose her secret identity. Bo Shuyi felt that no matter how she answered, it would seem like she was showing off.

Luo Yunqi saw the dilemma of Bo Shuyi and said, “Alright, I did not call you here today to discuss Teacher Yishu. If there is anything else, you can talk about it privately.”

Zhao Ruirui waited motionless for the answer from Bo Shuyi, completely ignoring the words of Luo Yunqi.

Liu Yong’s interest in Yishu was not as high as that of Zhao Ruirui. Hearing this, he immediately refocused his attention on Luo Yunqi. “Director Luo, why did you call us here exactly?”

Luo Yunqi said, “Actually, it is mainly related to Ruirui.”

However, the heart of Zhao Ruirui was entirely on Bo Shuyi, and she did not want to listen to her at all. Liu Yong frowned in embarrassment and gently tugged the sleeve of Zhao Ruirui. She remained unmoved.

Bo Shuyi smiled and said, “Regarding the questions about Yishu, we can chat when there is time. Let us listen to what Director Luo has to say first.”

Zhao Ruirui was disappointed as Liu Yong pulled her back to the sofa.

Luo Yunqi gestured with her chin toward the script on the glass coffee table. “Writer Zhao, what do you think of the revised lines inside?”

Zhao Ruirui said, “They are exceptionally good, of course!”

“Since you also think they are good, I think it would be better to film according to the revised lines from now on. What do you think?” Luo Yunqi asked tentatively.

No screenwriter liked having their script tampered with, and Luo Yunqi was mentally prepared for Zhao Ruirui to disagree.

“If we use the script of Bo Shuyi, will the name of Teacher Yishu be in the screenwriting credits?” Zhao Ruirui asked.

Luo Yunqi did not expect Zhao Ruirui to ask this. “If you do not want it to be,” she began.

“No! I want it!” Zhao Ruirui interrupted Luo Yunqi excitedly. “It is my honor to have my name placed alongside Teacher Yishu!”

Bo Shuyi was silent. Zhao Ruirui was far too fanatical about Yishu.

Luo Yunqi nodded. “If you agree, then there is no problem.”

Zhao Ruirui immediately beamed with joy. The four of them reached a consensus to use the modified script provided by Bo Shuyi.

Leaving the room of Luo Yunqi, Liu Yong greeted them and turned to enter the opposite room. The room of Bo Shuyi was on the other side, while Zhao Ruirui was two doors down from Luo Yunqi.

Reaching her door, Zhao Ruirui opened it with her key card without sparing a glance for Bo Shuyi. As she was about to step inside, she suddenly turned back. Her gaze toward the graceful figure of Bo Shuyi was very critical. She said in a clear voice, “This is a script that Teacher Yishu participated in. The acting of the female lead is very important. Certain people should have some self-awareness and not drag down the reputation of Teacher Yishu.”

Bo Shuyi was silent. She wondered if she should explain that her acting was actually quite good or simply reveal that she was Yishu. She decided to forget it; too many people misunderstood her anyway, and she could not explain herself to everyone one by one. She acted as if she had not heard anything and continued walking.

Ignored by Bo Shuyi, Zhao Ruirui turned red with anger. She stormed into her room and slammed the door with a loud bang.

Bo Shuyi returned to her room, and as soon as she opened the door, Lin Nanyun pounced into her arms. “Shuyi, you are finally back!”

Bo Shuyi held her by the waist, went inside, and closed the door. She lowered her head to kiss the forehead of Lin Nanyun and asked, “Why are you not asleep yet?”

Lin Nanyun sighed and said, “How can I sleep when you are not here?”

Bo Shuyi laughed. “Then I will wash up quickly and accompany you to sleep in a moment.”

Bo Shuyi went into the bathroom to shower. When she pushed the door open afterward, she found Lin Nanyun had moved a stool to the door and was sitting there playing with her phone. Bo Shuyi paused. “Nanyun, why are you sitting here playing on your phone?”

Lin Nanyun had been scrolling through “Yun-Yi” couple topics on Weibo and was startled by the voice of Bo Shuyi. She stood up and looked at Bo Shuyi with delight. “Shuyi, you are finally finished with your shower.”

Water droplets fell from the wet hair of Bo Shuyi, winding down her slender neck and past her exquisite collarbone before flowing beneath her bathrobe. Her cheeks were flushed from the steam, her eyelashes were thick and dark, and her eyes were misty. Her red lips were moist and inviting.

Bo Shuyi walked over, took the hand of Lin Nanyun, and repeated her question. Lin Nanyun touched her own red cheeks, lifted her eyes, and whispered, “Sitting here allows me to be closer to you.”

The heart of Bo Shuyi felt as if it had been lightly touched. She smiled and hugged Lin Nanyun. Lin Nanyun took the opportunity to bury her face in the warm, misty embrace. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

“Let us go. I will warm the bed for my Little Benefactor. We should sleep even closer to each other,” Bo Shuyi said.

Hearing this, Lin Nanyun immediately looked up and frowned with displeasure. “What benefactor? I am your girlfriend.”

Bo Shuyi blinked innocently, her eyelashes like small fans. “But you said you would take care of me. Since I am being taken care of by you, are you not my Little Benefactor?”

Lin Nanyun was temporarily at a loss for words. The argument of Bo Shuyi did not seem wrong.

System 199 could not stand it and reminded her, [Host, a girlfriend can also take care of a girlfriend. Once you are married, it is taking care of a wife!]

Lin Nanyun immediately knew what to say. “What is yours is mine, and what is mine is yours. Although I have more money right now, that money was given to me by my father; I have not earned a single cent myself. You are different. You are young, beautiful, famous, and highly skilled. You will have a limitless future and might even be richer than me. If one day I suddenly lose my money, will you give me money to spend as my girlfriend or as my benefactor?”

Lin Nanyun waited stubbornly for the answer. Bo Shuyi was nearly overwhelmed by how cute she looked with her pouting mouth. She had to use all her restraint to maintain the serious atmosphere and not lean in to kiss her.

Bo Shuyi pretended to think for a moment and said to Lin Nanyun, “I want to be your,” she paused.

Lin Nanyun widened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling with nervousness. “What do you want to be?”

“Your girlfriend, of course.” Bo Shuyi lowered her head to kiss the tip of the nose of Lin Nanyun and whispered in her ear, “I will warm the bed for my girlfriend now, alright?”
