Da Shachun’s brain short-circuited for a moment, "Ahhh, what are you saying? You hit her and that wasn’t enough, now you want to manipulate the script?"
"You’re just the vicious supporting character, your role is to be the supporting character!!! Supporting character! There to be slapped in the face by the heroine, don’t get any wild ideas, stick to your role, Host! Do you still want to go home or not?"
Da Shachun was genuinely afraid she’d go crazy, single-handedly killing off Su Ran, the heroine, which would make the world unsustainable, and the consequences were unthinkable for him. Suddenly, he felt it was good for Jiang Nanshu to leave, to stop causing trouble.
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t listening to Da Shachun’s rant at all. Instead, she rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said, "But I don’t like my ending to be too tragic. Ever heard of the vicious heroine? I can do that too."
Da Shachun: "..."
It seriously suspected the plot was being wrecked solely by her.
She had no sense of being slapped in the face, was always out for revenge, whoever provoked her had to be hit back immediately, she was vicious all right, making the original heroine’s character look mild in comparison.
It was on the brink of a breakdown.
Everyone in this world must be insane!
Jiang Nanshu was crazy and bad, ruthless in her actions and sweet-talking but with a knife in her belly, which paradoxically made the people around her gradually start to treat her better. No wonder it was a melodrama, everyone seemed to have a masochistic streak in them.
Da Shachun couldn’t figure it out for the life of it and just wished to complete the task quickly and send Jiang Nanshu back to her original world.
Behind her, Liang Ciqiu caught up, and Jiang Nanshu stood waiting for him on the sunny balcony.
By that time, the sun was setting in the west, and the mellow sunlight danced on her hair.
She wasn’t affected at all by the recent events, instead soaking up the sun comfortably, enjoying the breeze.
Liang Ciqiu felt that suppressed excitement leaping inside him again.
She looked so free.
Feeling the pain from gripping his palm too hard, the disgust he felt for her surged back. No matter how much she rinsed herself, she was rotten to the core.
"What did you call me here for?"
Hearing his voice, Jiang Nanshu, leaning on the balcony rail, tilted her head slightly. The red mole at the corner of her eye became even more striking as she smiled.
"I was just testing to see if this dog of mine can still obey commands. Seems like you’re not too bad."
"..."
Liang Ciqiu wanted to spit blood, it was as unpleasant as swallowing a fly, "Jiang Nanshu, can’t you stop being so willful and unreasonable? Put away your silly tricks and stay away from Ranran."
Jiang Nanshu straightened up, leaning against the balcony rail with a lazy gaze and a smirk, "What if I can’t? What will you do?"
Liang Ciqiu’s look grew complex, "Then we can only be enemies."
Jiang Nanshu looked at him with disappointment, "I thought we could become good partners. Would you hit me for Su Ran’s sake, Liang Ciqiu?"
This was the first time Jiang Nanshu seriously called his name. In the past, she had been casual and mocked him for not fighting back when attacked, but he wasn’t weak; he simply couldn’t bring himself to hit back.
After a long pause, he finally said slowly, "Yes, Jiang Nanshu, we are enemies now; I won’t hold back against you anymore."
"But you’re the male model I’m keeping."
"I’ll pay you back," he said hastily, fearing Jiang Nanshu would become more entangled with him.
He took a deep breath, "I’ll pay you back threefold."
"I don’t want it," Jiang Nanshu refused.
The excitement in Liang Ciqiu’s heart vanished, "You want to keep me hanging while you go provoke Lu Qingyan? Is that the game you want to play?"
