The Torturous Survival of Transmigrating into a Female Cannon Fodder Character - Chapter 23

Thereafter, Lin Yan had been sitting beside Sheng Yuxi, drinking alone. From time to time, Bai Fu would even come over to talk to her. At other times, Lin Yan felt that she could not understand what they were saying, and she did not want to listen to them either.

After drinking for a while, Lin Yan felt that she was a little dizzy from drinking. She lowered her head to look at the time and realized that it was already 10:20.

Time really passed quickly. There was no possibility of Sheng Yuxi and the female protagonist meeting today, so she told Sheng Yuxi that she wanted to go back. Sheng Yuxi nodded and said, “I’ll ask Shen Wu to send you back.”

Lin Yan heard this and said, “aren’t you leaving yet?” Lin Yan thought of Sheng Yuxi staying here by himself. There was still a possibility of the female protagonist and Sheng Yuxi meeting, so she continued to say, “forget it. If you’re not leaving, I’m not leaving either.”

Bai Fu happened to hear their conversation. He looked at the slightly tipsy Lin Yan and said to Sheng Yuxi, “Second brother, why don’t you guys leave first?”

Sheng Yuxi looked down at the time and then at the dazed Lin Yan. He nodded at Bai Fu, picked up his phone, and made a call. After waiting for a while, he greeted the people in the room and led Lin Yan out.

Third Xin watched the ‘husband and wife duo’ walk out of the room and said to Bai Fu, “what’s wrong with these two? They don’t look like a couple. Was Second Sheng coerced into the relationship?”

Then, thinking that this was unlikely, he denied himself and said, “Second Sheng definitely would not be coerced. Tell me how you met such a beautiful lady.”

Bai Fu shook his head, indicating that he did not know what the relationship between the two was. He said, “the new actress in our company is very beautiful.”

Moreover, in the end, he even exchanged Lin Yan’s wine for a glass of low-alcohol wine. This was not something Second Sheng would usually do.

Lin Yan, who had walked out of the Imperial Court, thought that today’s time was not over yet. She had to ensure that the second male lead would not meet the female lead again, so she said to Sheng Yuxi, “have you finished your business for today?”

Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan in confusion. A bad premonition arose in his heart, and he said impatiently, “what other business do you have?”

Lin Yan took Sheng Yuxi’s arm and smiled at Sheng Yuxi. “I still want to go to the movies. Can you come with me?”

Sheng Yuxi was afraid that Lin Yan would pester him. He said to the slightly tipsy Lin Yan, “you can’t even walk properly on your own. Are you sure you’re not going to the cinema just to sleep?”

Lin Yan shook her head. “No, no. Trust me. Besides, I’m not drunk. It’s just that my reaction is a little slow now.”

Sheng Yuxi opened the car door and did not want to bother himself with Lin Yan anymore. Smelling like alcohol, Lin Yan hugged Sheng Yuxi’s waist. Without stopping, she said, “let’s go, let’s go. I want to go and see a movie.”

That feeling that Sheng Yuxi felt that afternoon had returned. He said to Lin Yan, “take away your hands. I’ll think about it before answering you.”

Sheng Yuxi did not know why his heart softened. He looked at Lin Yan, who was blushing and felt like giving her a kiss. His throat moved, and he pulled Lin Yan into the car. He said to Shen Wu, who opened the car door and stood at the side with his head lowered, “drive us to Autumn Goose.”

The car drove steadily, and people who were slightly tipsy were even dizzier. Lin Yan found a seat in the car and fell asleep. When she woke up again, she saw black curtains and that she was on a bed.

She looked at her clothes and moved her body. She quickly opened the room door and walked outside. When she reached the living room, she saw Sheng Yuxi in gray pajamas sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. He looked outside from time to time and everything felt like a painting.

Lin Yan unconsciously stopped when she saw Sheng Yuxi. Then, she wiped her mouth and turned around to walk to the room.

Lin Yan, who had tidied herself up, was still thinking, ‘a man actually has lady’s things in his house. He has such bad intentions.’

‘This Sheng Yuxi is really different from what the author wrote. If it’s the same, why is his character so outstanding? He wants to bring a little girl home, and he even has toiletries.’

Looking at Lin Yan, who was full of energy and had exquisite makeup, she looked down at her watch and said, “you’ve accompanied me for nearly 24 hours. I think you can go home now.”

Lin Yan looked as if she had mistaken Sheng Yuxi for someone else and did not want to talk to him. Sheng Yuxi, who seemed to know what Lin Yan was thinking, said, “you were dressed by Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang is out to buy groceries now.”

Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan’s disbelieving expression. He said, “usually, Aunt Zhang only stays here on Friday nights and weekends. The rest of the time, she cleans here.”

“You were unconscious and refused to leave the car yesterday, so I called Aunt Zhang to help.”

“Also, the room you just stayed in was my sister’s. It was a spur-of-the-moment room. All the things you used were hers.”

Lin Yan heard this and was skeptical. She had heard about Sheng Yuxi’s sister. She no longer cared about what Sheng Yuxi had done. She sat down, picked up a sandwich from Sheng Yuxi’s plate, and ate breakfast.
