The Villain Has A Yuri Halo [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 40

Li Ju, who was leaving the apartment, probably never knew that from the window upstairs, someone was constantly watching her back. In the world of white snow outside the window, Fang Yihan could only see Li Ju’s blurry figure.

She rested her head against the glass, a sense of loss washing over her. She mumbled, “Being grounded is not fun at all. I can’t even be by her side. I will never make this mistake again. I’ll be good so she will like me.”

Fang Yihan never thought that obeying Li Ju’s orders was humiliating. That was just her nature. In some ways, she and Li Ju were the perfect match.

Just then, a call came in. Fang Yihan smiled shyly. “Good morning, Sister Cai.”

The girl’s soft, sweet voice was like honey to Sister Cai. Sister Cai couldn’t help but laugh. “Good morning.”

Fang Yihan asked curiously, “Does Sister Ju have a new job?”

“This time, it’s not about her. It’s about you.”

Fang Yihan was confused. “Me?”

“Did you forget about that viral video? People in this industry have noses like bloodhounds. Someone has been asking about you. They know you used to be a trainee, so a friend of mine told me that a web series they’re filming needs a third female lead. I’ve already read the script. I think it fits you perfectly. A resilient little innocent flower. No wonder my friend called me. Yihan, are you interested in the role?”

It had to be said that Sister Cai was a very responsible manager. She happily passed on the opportunity, especially since Fang Yihan’s looks were perfect for the part.

Sister Cai’s voice was warm and kind, not forceful. She wasn’t pressuring Fang Yihan to accept so she could make more money.

Fang Yihan blushed, feeling shy. It was because she remembered practicing with Li Ju. She felt she had no talent for acting, but when it came to kissing, she was a quick learner.

She smiled awkwardly and scratched her face. “I… I still like being Sister Ju’s assistant more.”

Sister Cai was speechless. “Yihan, this is a huge opportunity. You only got noticed because of Li Ju’s popularity. Anyone else would be ecstatic. The role of the third female lead is small, but after the show airs, I can find you more work. You’ll have no problem getting a second female lead role in the future.”

Fang Yihan was young, but she had her own mind. She had decided to be a trainee because of the good pay. Maybe she had a dream of being famous, but she realized she wasn’t fit for the job. So, Fang Yihan made a quick decision. Being an assistant was a good job, too.

Now she had another opportunity in front of her. She could say yes to Sister Cai, but she knew that life wasn’t what she wanted.

She had met Li Ju and seen the hardships of the industry, the pressure, the fights. The most important thing was that she didn’t have a passion for it. So, Fang Yihan’s choice was clear.

“Sister Cai, I have always believed that you shouldn’t take on something you can’t handle. I know you’re doing this for me, and I know I’m lucky. But I’m just not talented.”

Sister Cai said with a serious tone, “What do you mean you have no talent? Did you try? Besides, there are so many people with no talent in the entertainment industry. You think everyone is a great actor? That was in the past. In this industry, if you have a great face, you can get famous.”

“I… I practiced with Sister Ju.”

Her stammering made Sister Cai realize what happened. Sister Cai said with sympathy, “Did Xiao Ju intimidate you? It’s fine. She’s a genius. She was born to do this. Of course you would feel crushed if you acted with her!”

Fang Yihan awkwardly touched her flushed face. Crushed? She didn’t feel crushed. She felt like she was the one who was bullying her.

She said shyly, “Please, Sister Cai, just reject the offer for me. Acting is like being a trainee. It’s just not for me.”

Sister Cai was helpless and said regretfully, “I really admire your determination. You’re so quick to refuse. Fine, I won’t force you. You and Xiao Ju have already signed a contract, so it’s not easy to change. If you don’t want to do it, then don’t. You won’t be at a loss with Xiao Ju.”

Fang Yihan said happily, “Sister Ju is so good to me!”

Her happiness seemed to rub off on Sister Cai. Sister Cai smiled. “To be honest, Xiao Ju has surprised me a lot. I used to think she was the most difficult artist I’ve ever had, but now I think she’s the easiest. As long as she doesn’t get love-struck, she’s a very good girl.”

Fang Yihan suddenly said, “Sister Ju isn’t love-struck at all.”

“By the way, Jingan… is in North City too.”

Fang Yihan felt annoyed at the name. Her voice became cold, and she said with no emotion, “So what? North City is so big. His presence won’t affect me and Sister Ju.”

Sister Cai had just mentioned it in passing. She was surprised by Fang Yihan’s attitude. She noticed the slight irritation in Fang Yihan’s voice. After a moment of thought, she calmly changed the subject and ended the call.

That person’s name didn’t bother Fang Yihan. At that moment, she was taking Li Ju’s clothes out of the dryer. The gentle scent made her quietly sniff them. Fang Yihan said to herself, “We use the same dryer sheets, so why do her clothes smell so much better? It’s the same with her body wash. She always smells so good!”

Fang Yihan mumbled to herself and then sniffed again.

She felt like she was a pervert.

She neatly folded the clothes and placed them on Li Ju’s bed. When she saw the soft bed, she realized she had forgotten something!

She ran back to her room in a hurry and grabbed the beautifully wrapped gift.

The pink box and the pretty ribbon.

Fang Yihan knelt beside the bed and happily opened the gift. She was so careful and held her breath.

A pair of pink diamond snowflake earrings appeared. It was the first time Fang Yihan had ever received such an expensive gift. She blinked in disbelief.

She also didn’t forget to open the handwritten card. Just by looking at the words, she could hear Li Ju’s voice.

She said, “I was just browsing the internet and saw these earrings. I don’t wear earrings, so I bought them for you, little snowflake. Remember to give me a good review.”

Fang Yihan held the card and fell onto the bed. Her heart was beating so fast she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

She giggled and said proudly, “She bought them for me, but she acted so casual about it. She’s so cute!”

Fang Yihan lovingly touched the earrings. The shiny pink diamonds were set in the middle of a silver snowflake. Fang Yihan felt that Li Ju had picked this out just for her. She said, “Little snowflake? Is it because of the ‘Han’ in my name? ‘Little snowflake’ sounds so much better than ‘little assistant’.”

Many people called her ‘little assistant’, but she knew only Li Ju would call her ‘little snowflake’.

Fang Yihan’s smile didn’t fade. But she suddenly felt a little insecure. She wondered if Li Ju would like her gift.

It wasn’t very expensive, and the material was nothing compared to the diamonds.

She groaned in frustration. “Why can’t I be rich right now? I want to buy her diamonds, too!”

But it was okay. If she couldn’t buy her a gift this year, she would next year!

Fang Yihan’s eyes were fiery. She would work hard for next year’s Christmas gift!

“Heh heh, I have to show my sister.”

When you get a gift you love, you have to show it off.

She knelt on the floor, not feeling the cold. Her black hair fell to her waist, and her white sweater made her look like a cute little rice dumpling.

******

The snow in North City was relentless. It would stop for a moment, and then start again, giving the world a new look.

The evening came, and the streetlights lit up at the same time.

Every house was waiting for the people to come home.

The lights on the second floor were waiting, too.

Downstairs, a man and a woman were standing in the cold. Their bodies were bundled up in thick clothing, so it was hard to see their faces.

The tip of his cigarette melted the snow on the ground. He looked up at the window, his calm eyes were hiding his frustration. “Does Li Ju come back late every night? Has her assistant not left the house at all?”

His assistant was always with him. The assistant had no idea why Long Jing’an was so interested in Li Ju. He nodded honestly. “Yes. I’ve been watching for a few days. She comes back around the same time. Jing’an, are you going to talk to Sister Ju today?”

Long Jing’an narrowed his eyes and flicked the ashes from his cigarette. He exhaled slowly. “Yes.”

His eyes fell on the assistant’s face. He hid his contempt with his mask. Long Jing’an said in a muffled voice, “You can go back by yourself.”

The assistant touched his crew cut. He wanted to argue, but he wasn’t good with words. He could only watch Long Jing’an go upstairs.

But the assistant had a feeling. He was loyal to Long Jing’an, so he decided to wait for Li Ju. He would call Long Jing’an when she got back.

Ever since Long Jing’an came to North City, he had changed. He had told his assistant that he wanted to have a serious talk with Li Ju. The rumors about them were getting out of hand, and they needed to be handled.

The assistant was glad to hear this. He was happy that Long Jing’an had finally come to his senses. The fight with the director a few days ago had made the assistant think that Long Jing’an was going to become enemies with Li Ju. Everyone knew that it was a bad idea to be enemies with Li Ju, and it wouldn’t do Long Jing’an any good. If they could just sit down and talk, maybe things would get better.

The assistant decided to find out where Li Ju was staying. He had a few friends on the crew, and he was able to get Li Ju’s address in North City.

Long Jing’an was pleased with his assistant’s efforts. He pretended to be busy and asked his assistant to find out Li Ju’s schedule so he could visit her at a good time.

Long Jing’an acted with a lot of sincerity, and the assistant had no problem helping him in the freezing cold.

So, today, Long Jing’an came to the apartment right after filming.

Long Jing’an didn’t take the elevator. He chose to take the stairs. That way, he could think about what he was going to say.

Long Jing’an was wearing a black down jacket. His face was handsome, but his eyes were no longer clear.

He took a few deep breaths, feeling the weight of his mission.

The person he wanted to see this time wasn’t Li Ju, but the completely changed Fang Yihan.

Yes, in Long Jing’an’s eyes, Fang Yihan had become a different person.

She was cold and heartless. Even after seeing his threatening text, she didn’t change her mind and answer his call. This was completely out of character for the kind and gentle Fang Yihan. How could she ignore him?

They had been through thick and thin together for over a year, shedding tears and sweat in the practice room. Long Jing’an didn’t believe Fang Yihan would just abandon their friendship.

Even if she couldn’t love him, they could still be friends.

So, after hearing what his assistant said, Fang Yihan’s strange behavior made Long Jing’an even more suspicious.

What was the reason that made Fang Yihan stay home all the time?

What was the reason that made her “sick” all the time?

Long Jing’an felt that he had just stumbled upon Li Ju’s dark side. He believed that Fang Yihan was in a lot of danger!

Long Jing’an’s heart pounded with excitement, and he quickened his pace. His concern for Fang Yihan gave him the perfect opportunity to be her hero!

He knew Li Ju wouldn’t let Fang Yihan go!

Fang Yihan must have been suffering all this time.

Long Jing’an was so excited. He couldn’t wait to see Fang Yihan’s face. She would regret not listening to him. In the end, didn’t she need him to save her?

He quickly reached the second floor and rang the doorbell.

Fang Yihan, who was inside, thought it was the delivery person. When she was getting the ingredients ready, she realized she had forgotten to buy her favorite soda. She had to have it tonight!

She ran to the door, but when she saw the man on the monitor, her eyes widened.

Fang Yihan covered her mouth in shock. “It’s him?”

Long Jing’an was relentlessly pressing the doorbell. Fang Yihan quickly called Li Ju to report.

She said angrily, “That jerk! If he makes me lose another day, I swear I’ll scold him to death!”

Unfortunately, Li Ju’s phone was busy. She was probably filming.

Fang Yihan frowned and bit her lips, deciding she wouldn’t see Long Jing’an just to scold him. She would be a good girl.

“If I don’t open the door, he’ll think no one’s home.”

As soon as she said that, she saw the lights in the living room. She touched her forehead in frustration.

“No one said that if the lights are on, someone has to be home, right?”

She went back into the kitchen to make hot pot base, but Fang Yihan was destined to meet Long Jing’an because the delivery person called.

Fang Yihan’s face fell. “Great. I have to see him now.”

She never wanted to drink her favorite soda again. She was no longer happy.

Fang Yihan’s face turned cold, and she opened the door, a “don’t come near me” aura surrounding her. She half-opened the door and looked at the two men, who were looking at each other awkwardly.

The delivery person awkwardly handed her the drink. Long Jing’an was holding back his anger for his image.

After the delivery person left, he said in a low voice, “Yihan, I was so worried about you that I came here to save you. How could you pretend you didn’t hear the doorbell?!”

Fang Yihan pretended to be surprised. “Jing’an! When did you get here? The doorbell? Oh, it’s been broken for a while. I didn’t hear it. But wait, how did you know I was in North City?”

Long Jing’an’s eyes were cold. “That doesn’t matter. What matters is that you need to come with me now.”

“Huh?”

Long Jing’an looked at his watch. “There’s no time. If Li Ju comes home, you won’t be able to leave.”

Fang Yihan looked at him, confused. She asked hesitantly, “Jing’an, are… are you sick? I can’t understand a word you’re saying.”

Long Jing’an angrily grabbed her shoulders and said, “Are you still trying to protect that woman?! Did her ‘love-struck brain’ rub off on you? Can’t you see right from wrong anymore? She’s holding you hostage, she’s hurting you!”

Fang Yihan quickly backed away from him and said in a frustrated voice, “What are you talking about?”

“What am I talking about? You haven’t left the house in days. You’ve lost your freedom. And Li Ju is telling people you’re sick. She’s clearly lying! Li Ju is the crazy one. Who would do something like this to restrict your freedom?” Long Jing’an argued passionately, but Fang Yihan was completely confused.

Just then, a phone rang, breaking their silence. Long Jing’an angrily hung up on his assistant and continued, “Just come with me.” He went to grab Fang Yihan’s wrist to pull her away.

But Fang Yihan was terrified. She moved away from him, her pale face was filled with fear. She pushed him away.

But Long Jing’an didn’t know that a woman with a cold expression was walking towards him.

[Warning! Warning! An important plot has been triggered! To ensure the mission’s success, the host must jump from the building to fulfill her character’s personality! System 666 reminds the host that this plot cannot be skipped! Any changes will completely change the plot, and the mission will be deemed a failure!]

[Host, you can’t be lazy this time. But I believe you will do it. You agreed to help with Fang Yihan’s family troubles and even “forced” her to sign the contract. So you won’t refuse this, right?]

System 666 asked carefully because Li Ju’s face was terrible.

Li Ju gritted her teeth. “Long Jing’an, get your hands off of her!”

Fang Yihan sighed in relief. “Sister Ju, you’re back!”

Li Ju said in a cold voice to Fang Yihan, “I’ll deal with you later.”

Her voice was so intimidating that Long Jing’an froze.

Li Ju walked past Long Jing’an. Her expressionless face made him swallow hard. She had always given him a lot of pressure. He couldn’t win, so he had to stay quiet.

Li Ju sneered. She deliberately hugged Fang Yihan’s shoulder to anger Long Jing’an. Fang Yihan’s face was filled with trust. This sight broke Long Jing’an’s heart.

“I’m holding Fang Yihan hostage? Have you ever heard of a willing victim? Fang Yihan is here of her own free will. She’s here because of you. You were trying to contact her, and I caught you. I hate what you did, so Fang Yihan has to be punished.”

“You said I’m crazy? How rude. Fang Yihan just so happens to like this side of me.”

Her voice was sweet, but to Long Jing’an, it was full of mockery.

But Li Ju’s humiliation wasn’t over. She looked at Fang Yihan. Her cold and arrogant demeanor made Fang Yihan feel safe.

She gave a wicked smile and said gently, “Did you like my gift?”

Fang Yihan nodded obediently. “I loved it.”

Li Ju raised her eyebrows at Long Jing’an. “Some people are just dreaming and acting crazy, while others are already getting gifts from me.”

[…I think he’s losing it!]

[Host! You’re going too far with this!]

[Don’t forget you have to jump!]

Go jump yourself.

Li Ju glared at the trembling Long Jing’an. She walked into the living room with Fang Yihan. Her eyes went to the window.

But Li Ju didn’t expect that attracting too much hatred would have a terrible consequence.

Long Jing’an, with a crazy look, grabbed a decorative object from a shelf and hit Li Ju on the back of her head. This shocked everyone. As Li Ju’s vision went blurry, Long Jing’an used his strength to grab Fang Yihan.

Fang Yihan was stunned, and tears fell from her eyes. She looked at the chaotic scene.

She broke free from Long Jing’an’s grip with an astonishing burst of strength.

Fang Yihan put her hand on Li Ju’s forehead, feeling the hot blood. She started trembling.

She sobbed. “Li Ju, don’t be scared. I’ll protect you.”

She quickly pulled out her phone. While hugging Li Ju, she dialed 911.

But Long Jing’an didn’t let Fang Yihan go. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her away.

Li Ju, holding her head, yelled, “Let her go!”

Long Jing’an was sick of Fang Yihan defending Li Ju and sick of Li Ju’s power. He opened the window and yelled, “Fang Yihan, you’re such a good-for-nothing! Li Ju is hurting you, and you still listen to her like a dog! Fine! You’re so obedient? Let’s see how much she really cares about you! Li Ju, jump! If you don’t, I’ll push her!”

[This… this is wrong! Host, what’s happening?! The plot is changing on its own!]

Li Ju’s eyes were fixed on Long Jing’an. Her voice was steady. “Long Jing’an, have you ever met a real crazy person?”

Fang Yihan shouted,”Li Ju! You can’t jump!”

Fang Yihan’s voice was strained because Long Jing’an’s hands were on her neck.

“Fang Yihan, shut up.”

Fang Yihan struggled. The tears in her eyes were like a broken string of pearls. Her pale face looked fragile.

Long Jing’an sneered. “Fang Yihan, this is the woman you care so much about? She’s nothing!”

Li Ju’s eyes were calm, and her lips curled into a cold smile. She said, “I hate being threatened.”

She walked to the window calmly. As Long Jing’an watched in shock, she gave a small smile.

“System 666, I didn’t start this. The plot just changed on its own.”

“So, it wouldn’t be too much to find a replacement, would it?”

[Huh?! Well… it should be fine. As long as you follow the plot, nothing else matters to us.]

Li Ju was pleased. That was all she needed to hear.

So, she said calmly, “You want to test my feelings? Fine.”

With that, she stepped on the window frame. As Fang Yihan screamed, she grabbed Long Jing’an’s collar. She said menacingly, “Then shouldn’t I test your feelings for her as well?”

The cold wind blew her hair. The blood on her forehead was so bright. Li Ju’s beautiful face was full of a vibrant, living smile.

She looked back at Fang Yihan. “Long Jing’an is right. We’re all crazy. It’s too bad, little snowflake, that you met us.”

The words left her mouth, and the woman fell like a graceful snowflake.

[Li Ju jumped with Long Jing’an.]

The cold wind blew, and the snow fell on her face. Before she lost consciousness, Li Ju could only hear Fang Yihan’s cries.

[Checking… Main plot successfully completed!]

[System… System 666… congratulates the host… on her success…]

[Warning! Warning! Host Li Ju’s soul has been damaged… System… System is forced to shut down! Shutting down!]
