The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 69.1

After finishing ten days of recording, Zhang Qiu hurried back to Longhai City.

While boarding, Zhang Qiu saw a crowd of people surrounding a girl who entered the VIP lounge. She was probably some rich person being served. Zhang Qiu quickly glanced over, her hand gripping her luggage, feeling very anxious.

As soon as she learned from Lin Xiangdong that Lin Luoluo had fallen into a coma again, she wanted to rush back, but because she had signed the contract, she couldn’t leave. Zhang Qiu could only hold back, but she suffered from insomnia every night. The dark circles under her eyes had become visible over the past ten days.

Before takeoff, Zhang Qiu heard the person in the seat next to her discussing publishing matters with someone.

“Don’t worry, your novel, The Arrogant Campus Prince Falls in Love with Me, has a huge market. You don’t have to worry about the initial print run. We will arrange with the publisher to first print tens of thousands of copies. The book title needs to be changed. Remember to interact with your fans on Weibo and let them know.”

“Do you not have time to start a new book recently? In that case, just post about your daily life to maintain your reader base.”

“Oh, it’s not that I’m lecturing you, Shu He, but isn’t it better this way? Sometimes you just need to keep your temper in check. There’s no need to clash with money, right?”

“Alright, alright, I know. I won’t talk to you anymore, my plane is about to take off.”

“Mhm, okay, goodbye.”

Zhang Qiu closed her eyes, hearing the flight attendant’s reminder for everyone to fasten their seatbelts and set their phones to vibrate.

She was finally going back.

The plane began to taxi, heading toward the blue sky.

After a safe landing, the first-class passengers disembarked first.

Zhang Qiu’s seat was by the window, and she saw that familiar figure again.

She glanced at the person, and seeing that the passengers in front were starting to get off, she stood up to retrieve her luggage from the overhead compartment.

Lan Yingying walked through the VIP channel, and her assistant next to her said, “Miss, the script for the first scene is out. Would you like to take a look?”

Lan Yingying stopped, extending her hand arrogantly. The assistant respectfully handed over the tablet. Lan Yingying quickly scanned a couple of lines, frowning, “What is this trash?”

The assistant hurriedly said, “This is the latest revision they just finished.”

Lan Yingying sneered, “Send it back and tell them to rewrite it. I gave her the outline. Doesn’t she know how to write it? What I want is an absolutely high-light female lead!”

The assistant repeatedly agreed, quickly contacting the other party.

Lan Yingying handed the tablet back and was about to continue walking when she suddenly saw a large group of people pouring out of the exit ahead. It was a normal sight, but as her gaze swept over, she suddenly froze, staring incredulously at the front.

Zhang Qiu opened her phone and looked at the messages.

It was from the show’s director, saying that the next recording would be in three days and telling them to rest well before returning.

Zhang Qiu put down her phone and rubbed her nose. The ten days of recording had been quite exhausting. She not only had to deal with difficult parties but also with sudden demands from the director’s team, and occasionally had to act or reshoot some scenes.

Pulling her suitcase with one hand, Zhang Qiu hurried toward the exit.

Just getting off a flight, the exit was congested. Zhang Qiu was still quite noticeable in the crowd. Lan Yingying thought she was seeing things, otherwise, how could she see her love rival!

“Miss, shall we go? The driver has arrived,” the assistant asked.

Lan Yingying blinked, and the surging crowd had swallowed the person she had just seen.

Frowning tightly, Lan Yingying said, “Let’s go.”

Perhaps she was mistaken.

Airport staff cleared the way ahead, and Lan Yingying left the airport and got directly into her family’s car.

Zhang Qiu got on the airport shuttle bus, also heading toward the city center.

The two cars coincidentally took the same route.

Lan Yingying closed her eyes to rest as soon as she got into the car. The driver said, “Miss, the master asked you to return home directly.”

“Mhm,” Lan Yingying replied.

Her business was also finished.

A red light stopped both cars at the intersection.

The person in the seat in front of Zhang Qiu was studying the car next to theirs.

“Is that a Mercedes?”

“It’s a business series, must be a few million yuan minimum.”

“I wonder which young master or lady they are picking up at the airport.”

“Maybe a bald boss?”

“Could a boss use this series? This is generally used as a nanny car for the kids in the family.”

Zhang Qiu turned and glanced over. The light turned green, and the bus started moving. Lan Yingying rolled down her window for some fresh air and also noticed the bus next to her. She raised her chin arrogantly, and just as she was about to close the window, the bus drove forward first, catching her attention. She slightly lifted her eyelashes and saw Zhang Qiu.

Her pupils instantly dilated. This time, Lan Yingying was sure she hadn’t been mistaken—she had actually seen Gu Beichen’s rumored girlfriend!

How could this be? How did she also come to this world?

…

The sun rose outside the window. The world seemed unchanged, except for a few new terms in the news.

“Lin’s new energy electric vehicles storming the European market, Japan analyzes Chinese electric cars.”

“A-share market opens, Gu Group’s stock drops for the first time in history.”

“Yesterday at thirteen minutes past midnight, a comet collided with the moon. Astronomers observed the rare spectacle of a comet impacting the moon for the first time.”

…

Shu He turned on the TV and was slurping instant noodles.

She was too lazy to cook today, so she simply made a cup of instant noodles. After messily finishing it, she lay on the sofa, too lazy to move.

Lin Luoluo watched her and was contemplating what she had just seen on the TV.

The worlds seemed to have truly merged. She actually heard news about Gu Beichen’s family company and her family’s company.

Lin Luoluo was a little anxious. She didn’t know what her current situation was like.

She also thought of her parents in reality. Where were her real-life family members?

What kind of mutation would the world’s fusion produce?

Everything was unknown.

Shu He was comfortably lying there, feeling hungry, when she suddenly received a message. She lazily clicked on her phone and immediately sat up straight.

“Shit!”

It was hard not to swear upon seeing the message.

Shu He really wanted to curse, but she reminded herself that she couldn’t win against the vile capitalists, so she tucked her tail between her legs and sighed as she replied: [Okay, I’ll revise it again.]

Revising a script was truly a painful experience.

She had thought that writing a commissioned piece would be easy, until the client’s repeated dissatisfaction and demands for revisions made her wish for a quick death.

Shu He was venting in the living room while Lin Luoluo quietly accessed her computer.

She was checking things she couldn’t find before.

The Lin family, the Gu family, the Muyun family, and the Dongfang family—the four famous families in Longhai City—were prominently featured in the Forbes list. Furthermore, there was news and information about other wealthy people that Lin Luoluo had never heard of before.

Lin Luoluo was very anxious.

After much hesitation, she still asked the system: [What will happen after the world fusion?]

This time, the system replied seriously: [If you view the world as an equilateral triangle, the endpoint of your world will intersect with the other two worlds. Therefore, some people can unintentionally see another world. Some call it a mirage, some call it a dream, and some call it a parallel dimension.]

[But in reality, only one world is real. The other two worlds are projections of this world—its positive and negative poles. When the three worlds merge and become one, this world is your world.]

Lin Luoluo didn’t understand.

The system said: [Your family is your real-world family. You have only ever been yourself. You have never played any role.]

[Then who is the other me?] Lin Luoluo asked, half-understanding.

System: [The version of you who woke up in the other world.]

[Logically speaking, the you in the main world should influence the choices of the you in the positive and negative worlds, but the negative world made a different choice from you, and the world line became chaotic.]

Lin Luoluo was stunned.

Shu He perked up and saw the computer screen flickering randomly. She curiously asked, “Are you doing research?”

[Can we go out this afternoon?] Lin Luoluo typed: [To this place.]

She provided an address.

Shu He hadn’t communicated with the ghost for several days, so she figured the sudden summons meant something important, but she was curious.

“Here?” Shu He looked at the address. It felt strange, but after reading it again, a never-before-seen memory suddenly surfaced in her mind. She turned her head, murmuring in confusion, “Why does it feel both strange and familiar?”

Many people were experiencing this feeling today, as if an unfamiliar memory had been added to their minds. Some remembered clearly having a car, only to find someone else’s car in the garage. Others remembered having no money, then checking their account and suddenly finding themselves very wealthy. After the world fusion, the stronger host entity would dominate the weaker guest entity, forming a new individual.

Lin Xiangdong also woke up feeling a little out of sorts. In his dream, he was a young man starting a business, with a sister in her second year of university, and working-class parents.

He held his head and scoffed. Why would he have a dream like that? Maybe he just missed bickering with his sister when she was awake.

In the morning, the family of three sat at the dining table, all lost in thought.

Lin Father was the first to snap out of it and said, “Let’s eat.”

The three ate in silence. Lin Father instructed, “Someone is coming today to install surveillance cameras in Luoluo’s room, and I’ve found a caregiver too.”

Lin Xiangdong nodded, glancing worriedly at his mother. Tan Yi seemed absent-minded.

“You should rest at home today,” Lin Father looked down at his wife.

The dark circles under Tan Yi’s eyes were heavy. She shook her head, “The European market is coming for an inspection; I have to attend. It’s better for me to handle the small talk among the women.”

Lin Father said, “Then get some rest on your way.”

“Dong’er, I’m leaving the house to you.” Lin Xiangdong nodded. “Mom and Dad, you go. I’ll watch over my sister here.”

Tan Yi couldn’t help but say, “Keep a close eye on those caregivers. I’m afraid they’ll bully Luoluo when we’re gone. She can’t speak or resist right now. What if they hurt her?”

“I’ll be vigilant,” Lin Xiangdong promised.

After sending his parents off, Lin Xiangdong started working. Zhang Qiu arrived near noon.

Lin Xiangdong went out to meet her. Seeing her carrying her luggage, he realized she must have rushed straight over from the airport, and he was deeply moved.

“Why didn’t you go home and rest first? If Luoluo knew how much you cared about her, she’d be very touched.”

Zhang Qiu’s expression was downcast. “Can I go see her?”

“I’ll take you.” Lin Xiangdong led her into Lin Luoluo’s bedroom.

To make caregiving easier, Lin Luoluo’s room had been modified. Her old princess bed was gone, replaced with a mobile, adjustable medical bed. The desk was removed, and a small cot was put in for someone to sleep on while watching her at night.

Surveillance cameras were installed on the wall, constantly monitored to ensure her safety.

The air in the room was fresh with the window open, letting in the cheerful chirping of birds. Zhang Qiu walked closer and saw Lin Luoluo with an oxygen tube in her nose, her cheeks rosy, sleeping sweetly with her eyes closed.

She stood still for a moment, while Lin Xiangdong looked at his sister with dim eyes.

“Let’s go outside and talk.”

Zhang Qiu felt an overwhelming, irresistible sorrow.
