The Mad Beauty and the Sick Young Lady [Transmigration Novel] - Chapter 48

Su Li was only free to check Weibo after getting home from dinner.

The entire Weibo was in an uproar. It was rumored that the server was down for five minutes and hadn’t been fixed yet. Several search terms shot up like rockets:

#Jiang Zhuoye Publicly Announces Relationship

#Jiang Zhuoye Prepares Candy House for Girlfriend

#Jiang Zhuoye Confession Video…

Jiang Zhuoye’s latest Weibo post was a long video, detailing the process of her building the candy house with a few friends starting from the day before.

They used a machine to inflate balloons, selected and matched different colors, hired professionals to build the framework, rented the park location, and a group of people worked happily. Jiang Zhuoye was completely immersed, doing all sorts of tasks, smiling all the way, extremely friendly, and goofing around with her friends, showing no airs of a film queen.

By the afternoon, the small house was almost finished. Jiang Zhuoye then began selecting photos. One of her assistants brought a carton of pictures and printed film quotes. Jiang Zhuoye went through them one by one, and after choosing, she and the others personally used clips to hang these items up, one by one.

The entire video was set to soothing and warm background music. A great beauty like Jiang Zhuoye had a constant smile, and her eyes were bright, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

But what was even better was the live footage in the second half of the video. Jiang Zhuoye walked towards the hidden nanny van, changed into a red dress, grabbed a bouquet of roses, jumped up and down a couple of times on the spot, took several deep breaths, her cheeks flushed, clearly very nervous.

She finally took long strides towards the nearby dreamy candy house, stood behind the chocolate colored front door, and waited patiently.

When the door finally opened, the camera shifted its perspective, not capturing the face or body of the person opening the door, but focusing on Jiang Zhuoye.

Jiang Zhuoye knelt on one knee, her eyes full of bright anticipation and longing, and she said the line:

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

The other person’s voice, choked with tears, agreed. The two girls hugged tightly, and the video turned to a black screen with the inscription:

“I give you the thousand lives I have lived, along with a thousand kinds of love and hope.”

The video ended.

The comment section went wild.

【What did I just stumble upon? Is this something I can watch for free? Is the Film Queen’s emotional life this romantic? This feels like a scene from a romantic comedy set, is this really not promotional footage for a movie?】

【Husband, I do! I’m willing to be your girlfriend, look at me!】

【I was a bit resistant to the idea of Jiang Zhuoye dating, but now I just think… holy crap, her girlfriend is too lucky! How much does Jiang Zhuoye love her to be willing to do so much and design such a perfect scene for a confession!】

【Openly and generously announcing her relationship, faithfully and romantically confessing to her lover. Jiang Zhuoye, you’ve been criticized for being abrasive since your debut, but I’ve never thought you looked as pleasing to the eye as you do today. Awesome.】

【Wuwuwu, even though my heart is broken, this is the first time I’ve seen my husband be so serious about someone else, and even post the whole process. The starlight in my husband’s eyes is so beautiful. I can only offer my blessings through tears.】

Su Li looked at these comments, her cheeks and ears burning red, feeling as if her whole body was floating on a cloud, dizzy and lightheaded.

She opened the video again and watched it back and forth three times, her smile nearly stretching to her ears.

When Jia Sihan’s call came in, she was watching it for the fourth time, quickly fumbling to answer the phone:

“Hello?”

Jia Sihan’s voice on the other end was heavy:

“The thing we talked about last time, did you…”

Su Li understood:

“I really did talk to her. I tried hard to persuade her not to go public now, saying I didn’t want to be attacked and wanted to have a sense of ritual later on…”

Jia Sihan scoffed:

“Heh… so, she only heard the three words ‘sense of ritual’? As expected of her.”

Su Li felt a bit apologetic:

“It’s my fault for not handling it well. Did I cause you any trouble?”

Jia Sihan sighed on her end:

“It’s already very good that you were willing to help. This was originally our problem. Trouble… it is quite troublesome, but I will fix it.”

Su Li felt relieved:

“Then how is your financial situation? Will it be affected?”

Jia Sihan:

“That won’t be the case. Alright, I just wanted to check in. Don’t blame yourself. If I said anything inappropriate, I apologize. Don’t take it to heart. We might have many more opportunities to cooperate in the future…”

After hanging up the phone, Jia Sihan stared blankly at her phone in the studio.

She regretted it now, deeply regretted it! Why did she go to the extra trouble of asking Su Li to persuade Jiang Zhuoye! She should have known that with Jiang Zhuoye’s temper, ten oxen couldn’t pull her back. Persuasion was futile… Oh wait, it wasn’t futile. It led to a more complicated sense of ritual, broader influence, and more trending topics and haters.

Jia Sihan was fretting when she received another call, this time from the studio’s business development:

“Hello, Sister Han, several new clients have reached out. Their offers are higher than before. I’ve sent the details to your email!”

Jia Sihan’s face twisted in shock:

“Huh? What are the clients thinking? Jiang Zhuoye is facing a public opinion crisis right now, and they are still coming to offer high prices for endorsements?”

The business representative said:

“Those clients include an app focused on dating diaries, a couples’ products company, and a perfume brand with a romantic theme. They all said that after watching Jiang Zhuoye’s confession video, they felt that Jiang Zhuoye, who has a lover, perfectly aligns with their company’s positioning. Price is not an issue, but they are all competing for the first public appearance of Jiang Zhuoye’s lover.”

Jia Sihan suddenly realized that the old saying was true: “Mountains and rivers separate the road, but a bright future awaits.” She never thought Jiang Zhuoye’s public announcement would have such an effect.

As for the lover’s first public appearance, that would have to be decided by Jiang Zhuoye and Su Li.

Jia Sihan’s regret slowly faded, replaced by a new marketing drive. She immediately began planning Jiang Zhuoye’s new image packaging: deeply affectionate, romantic, and in love, and they could also attract more CP (couple) fans!

After Jiang Zhuoye’s video was posted, countless people were guessing who this extremely lucky girl was and what level of Alpha (A) she was.

【Isn’t Jiang Zhuoye a top Omega (O)? I’ve seen her national certification. She’s so outstanding, if the other person isn’t a top A, I’ll live stream myself doing a handstand while taking a dump!】

【Actually, the level of A the other person is doesn’t matter, as long as she treats our Ah Ye well. I really want to know what her pheromone scent is!】

Jiang Zhuoye suddenly appeared and replied to this comment:

【Orange flavored.】

The netizens exploded again, mainly because orange scent was too O! Generally, O’s have floral or fruity scents, while A’s have various stimulating scents. Some A’s even have bloody or gasoline scents, which make people feel physically dizzy just by smelling them.

Who would have thought that Jiang Zhuoye, whose own scent was grassy, would have an orange-scented partner? Everyone could only marvel that this A must be exceptionally gifted…

【Don’t be too surprised, I once heard of a top A who smelled like strawberries! She also looked like a soft, cute girl. It’s amazing to think about, and kind of adorable!】

【This is possible. Jiang Zhuoye has probably seen too many aggressive A’s and wants a little puppy type. Alas, my goddess’s bride is not me, so whoever it is, it doesn’t matter…】

But no one dared to guess that this orange scented partner was an O, as they all thought it was impossible. A and O were the eternal combination they had never seen an O with another gender! They wouldn’t be able to mark each other, and if the O met another A in the future and got marked, wouldn’t they have to break up?

The whole affair fermented for a few more days, and Su Li had almost forgotten about it when Guan Jingxian’s voice exploded over the phone:

“Aah! Are you really dating Jiang Zhuoye?! You announced it so quickly?!”

Su Li:

“…Actually, I disagreed with her announcing it, but she insisted… But I wasn’t in the video, right? How did you figure it out?”

Guan Jingxian was jumping up and down on the other end:

“An insider has come forward and revealed that you are both O’s! An unnatural relationship, doomed by the heavens!”

Su Li’s hand trembled in fear. She quickly went onto Weibo and indeed found an ID named “Angelica chen” who had posted a revelation:

【I am a friend of Jiang Zhuoye’s lover, and I can’t stand their deception of their fans! I want to tell everyone that Jiang Zhuoye and her lover are both O’s! Her lover graduated from XX Academy, her last name is Su, and she is a rich young lady, not some Cinderella at all! Join me in boycotting this unethical artist! Picture.jpg】

The pictures showed the side profiles of Jiang Zhuoye and Su Li, taken during that distant class reunion. Su Li felt as if ages had passed since then.

Su Li:

“…”

She felt that this person’s speech was a little crazy. It was Chen Anji, the one who organized the gathering and was dating multiple people (stepping on N boats).

Why did Chen Anji come out to expose Jiang Zhuoye? What kind of love-hate entanglement was this?

However, to Su Li’s surprise, in the comment section below, not many people agreed with Chen Anji’s view. Instead, they were mostly cursing her.

【Get lost with your rumor mongering! It’s none of your business if two beautiful women are dating. How dare you, an ugly person, cause trouble? Boycott them with you, huh? After boycotting the beautiful women, should we look at a monster like you?】

【I have to say, the poster’s actions are too unethical. Free love has been advocated for a long time now. No matter who Jiang Zhuoye’s partner is, whether A or O, we will support them. You are probably just jealous that Jiang Zhuoye is so affectionate and you can’t get such a good partner, so you’re coming out as a sour lemon.】

【Shocked… Jiang Zhuoye’s lover, a top O with an orange scent? And all this information, that person looks very outstanding! What kind of stunning love story is this between two beautiful women? If you don’t ship this, I’m already obsessed!】

【Wait, based on the content of her revelation, I have an astonishing discovery… “Miss Patient’s Daily Life” (Bing Xiaojie Richang), which Jiang Zhuoye’s fans should be quite familiar with. The person this blogger is tagging as Jiang Zhuoye’s lover is the author of that comic!】

After this comment was posted, Su Li’s own Weibo account was instantly flooded. Countless comments and private messages poured in.

Su Li saw her phone almost freeze to a black screen, and Guan Jingxian’s call was even disconnected. She pursed her lips, feeling… secretly a little happy.

She felt a little thankful for Chen Anji. She had said everything Su Li wanted to say but didn’t dare to.

After seeing Jiang Zhuoye’s beautiful confession video, Su Li really wanted to do something to reciprocate Jiang Zhuoye’s sincerity, but she thought and thought and didn’t know how.

Who would have thought that this turn of events would happen? Chen Anji’s actions inadvertently brought Su Li’s identity openly into the sight of netizens, and it also brought Su Li a new inspiration.

Since the netizens didn’t seem to be against it…

Su Li picked up her paintbrush, a smile playing on her lips, and began sketching stroke by stroke.

She was going to use this comic as her confession to Jiang Zhuoye.
