The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 12

“Where shall we go to take the photos?” Gu Jingyun trusted Qu Anruo’s ability and confidently left the matter to her.

Qu Anruo was actually not familiar with any suitable places for photoshoots around there.

【Host, the new house’s environment is quite good. You can also take a look at the progress of the house decoration.】 666 suggested from the side.

Hearing this, Qu Anruo took Gu Jingyun out and headed to the new house.

Qu Anruo took the new house’s key from her bag. After opening the door, what came into view was Qu Anruo’s ideal image of a home.

“Look, big sister!” Qu Anruo excitedly grabbed Gu Jingyun’s hand and went in with her.

Gu Jingyun was momentarily stunned by what she saw. The house was decorated very warmly, resembling how it looked when her parents were still alive.

Qu Anruo pulled down the white sheet on the sofa, sat on it, and asked, “Do you like it, big sister?”

“I like it…” Gu Jingyun walked around the room, her hand brushing over the furniture she passed. The warmth from her hand lingered on the furniture.

Qu Anruo was relieved seeing how much Gu Jingyun liked it.

“Let’s take one here first.” Gu Jingyun suddenly wanted to leave something behind in this place. She said this, looking at Qu Anruo.

Qu Anruo looked around, seeing that there was still some dust and it was a bit messy. She hesitated and said, “But it’s still…”

“It’s okay.” Gu Jingyun finished speaking and stood in front of Qu Anruo. Qu Anruo could only step back, find a good angle, and take a few pictures of Gu Jingyun.

After taking the photos, Qu Anruo looked at them, confirmed they were fine, and handed them to Gu Jingyun, saying, “They’re done.” Unexpectedly, in this environment, Gu Jingyun looked like she had a different style a feeling of being on the verge of breaking apart within the mortal dust.

Qu Anruo couldn’t help but sigh at Gu Jingyun’s ethereal beauty.

Gu Jingyun took the photos, looked at them, and then gave them back to Qu Anruo. The two went downstairs and took a few more pictures in a nearby garden. The lawn in the garden was neatly trimmed. Green grass swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

Flower beds encircled the area, filled with a riot of colors and fragrant scents. This attracted the birds, which stood on the flowers, lightly kissing the petals, their tiny beaks touching the stamens to draw out the fragrance within.

Gu Jingyun stood by the flower bed, her finger touching a branch. The flowers on it had not yet bloomed, and the buds slightly trembled under the caress of her finger…

Qu Anruo pressed the button and captured this moment.

“All done.” Qu Anruo waved her hand at Gu Jingyun, signaling her to come closer. Gu Jingyun walked out of the flower bushes and looked at the finished photos.

Qu Anruo had taken them very well. Gu Jingyun praised her, and seeing Qu Anruo’s shy expression, Gu Jingyun smiled and continued to praise her a few more times.

“Big sister, shall we go pick up Jinyi tomorrow?” Qu Anruo was preparing to move into the new house soon. She found that this world was more advanced than her original one, and the purchased house did not have harmful toxins, which she was quite satisfied with. It wasn’t like her original world where she had to wait for a long time before moving into a newly bought house.

Tomorrow happened to be a holiday. Gu Jingyun nodded. “Then we can go pick her up together tomorrow.” Hearing Qu Anruo’s words, Gu Jingyun wasn’t surprised by how Qu Anruo knew Gu Jinyi had a day off tomorrow. After all, it was Qu Anruo if she wanted to know some ordinary things, she could find out by just asking. And this kind of matter didn’t seem to require asking anyone anyway.

After Qu Anruo finished taking photos of Gu Jingyun, she wanted to take her out to eat, but Gu Jingyun refused.

“I bought some groceries yesterday. I’ll cook for you,” Gu Jingyun said after they got into the car.

Qu Anruo nodded excitedly. It would be wonderful if Gu Jingyun cooked! Her cooking was even better than what they could get outside.

When the two returned home, Qu Anruo suddenly thought of something and pointed the camera at Gu Jingyun, who was cooking.

“Big sister, look over here for a moment.” Qu Anruo said, fixing the camera in a suitable position, and then gave Gu Jingyun a thumbs-up to indicate it was ready. Gu Jingyun then started cooking.

When the filming was almost done, Qu Anruo took the camera out of the kitchen and began transferring the videos and photos to Wang Chu. After the task was complete, Qu Anruo passed the kitchen, skillfully poured herself a glass of juice, and sat on the sofa to drink it.

She found the remote control, turned on the TV, and searched for Gu Jingyun’s newly released movie. She believed this recently released film, when compared to her previous works, clearly showed Gu Jingyun’s progress. Not that Gu Jingyun acted poorly before, but Qu Anruo always felt the roles lacked a certain soul. Only after seeing this movie did Qu Anruo confirm her thoughts were correct. Previously, the characters Gu Jingyun played were too perfect, appearing ethereal and lacking a sense of reality.

Qu Anruo was so engrossed in the role played by Gu Jingyun that she couldn’t extricate herself. When she finally saw the character die in front of the female lead, her heart trembled, as if the scene was actually happening.

Gu Jingyun carried the dishes out and called Qu Anruo twice but got no response. She came in front of Qu Anruo, blocking her view, and only then did Qu Anruo notice her. Seeing Gu Jingyun standing before her, Qu Anruo couldn’t control her tears, wanting to rush into Gu Jingyun’s arms and hug her. Qu Anruo’s hands trembled as she wiped the tears from her face. She got up, quickly walked past Gu Jingyun with her head lowered, and entered the bathroom.

【666, what exactly is going on? Why do I want to cry so much?】 Looking at her reflection in the mirror, unconsciously crying, Qu Anruo asked 666 in alarm.

666 also didn’t know what was happening. It anxiously uploaded the matter to its superior to ask for the reason. Seeing Qu Anruo crying sorrowfully, 666 also wanted to comfort her and hug her, but it was just a system and had no physical body. It didn’t know what to do next.

“Anruo!” Gu Jingyun knocked on the door and called out. This was the first time Qu Anruo had heard such a tense voice from Gu Jingyun. In her memory, the female lead, Gu Jingyun, was always composed and would never become like this because of anything.

Seeing that Qu Anruo didn’t open the door for her, Gu Jingyun had to quickly look for the bathroom key. In her panic, her arm scraped against a cabinet, tearing off a piece of skin. Without seeming to notice, she grabbed the key and opened the door. Qu Anruo inside was curled up in the corner, crying. Hearing Gu Jingyun enter, she looked up with red eyes and a constantly twitching nose.

Feeling Gu Jingyun’s continuous gaze, Qu Anruo pulled at her clothes to cover her face, saying, “Don’t look…”

“Anruo, why are you crying like a little bunny?” Gu Jingyun felt relieved when Qu Anruo spoke and said with a smile.

“I am not.” Qu Anruo sniffled, her voice thick with a nasal tone.

Gu Jingyun looked at Qu Anruo’s wronged expression, suppressed her smile, and squatted down to look at her, “Then why don’t you dare to look up at me, Anruo?”

Qu Anruo raised her head and almost bumped noses with Gu Jingyun. She quickly leaned back, nearly hitting her head on the wall. Gu Jingyun swiftly placed her hand behind Qu Anruo’s head as a cushion.

After seeing that Qu Anruo’s head was fine, Gu Jingyun pulled her hand out from under her head. “Hiss…” she cried out in pain.

Hearing Gu Jingyun’s painful cry, Qu Anruo quickly grabbed her hand and looked at it with concern.
