Transmigrating Into A Sadistic Novel And Becoming A Master Of Painting Rosy Pictures - Chapter 76

Hua Cancan listened, studying Bian Yingning for a moment.

Bian Yingning felt so uncomfortable under her gaze that she didn’t know what to do with her hands.

Why was she looking at me like that? Had I said something wrong? Or did she notice that I had just zoned out?

After a long time, Hua Cancan looked away, “Then let’s go tomorrow.”

Bian Yingning nodded, adding it to her schedule.

Sitting next to Hua Cancan, Bian Yingning rested her head on her shoulder, put her legs up on the sofa, got comfortable, and handed her the remote, saying generously, “Watch whatever you want.”

Soon, the maid brought them fruit and snacks. Bian Yingning ate some cantaloupe and offered some to Hua Cancan, who ate it.

The opening credits appeared on the big screen. Bian Yingning realized Hua Cancan was watching the movie, “A Race Car Driver’s Race.”

“Why are you watching this movie?” Bian Yingning was surprised.

She had watched it twice.

The Bian family’s home theater had almost every movie ever released, regardless of how recently.

Hua Cancan chewed on the cantaloupe, putting down the remote, “What’s wrong with this movie? I heard it’s popular, but I haven’t seen it yet.”

Bian Yingning didn’t speak, lost in thought.

Hua Cancan watched the screen for a while, then moved, pushing Bian Yingning’s head away.

Bian Yingning, who was comfortably leaning against Hua Cancan, was startled.

Before she could ask what Hua Cancan was doing, she heard Hua Cancan say,

“What? You watched it with someone else, and now you’re not happy watching it with me?” Hua Cancan’s tone was colder than their ice cream.

Bian Yingning: “…”

“How did you know?”

How did she know? Didn’t she have any secrets?

“Heh.” Her reaction confirmed Hua Cancan’s guess that she didn’t want to watch the movie with her.

“If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it,” Hua Cancan said sarcastically.

Bian Yingning felt wronged.

“I didn’t try to hide it. I’m open and honest. It’s not something shameful.

I just asked how you knew, and I asked about the movie. I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you watch it, or that I couldn’t let you know I watched it with someone else!”

Bian Yingning said a lot in one breath, then said sadly, “You’ve changed. You’re different towards me. You’re impatient. Why…”

Accusing her of secretly going out with other women, Hua Cancan found herself on the receiving end of the accusations: “…”

“So, you think it’s okay to secretly watch movies with others?”

Bian Yingning said firmly, “Of course it’s wrong!”

“Where’s the wrong?”

“The wrong is letting you know,” Bian Yingning said seriously.

Hua Cancan: “?”

She dared to say such shameless things?

“And not telling you beforehand, letting you find out from other sources. I was careless, making you feel hurt and deceived.”

“Perhaps I should have known that someone as excellent as me would make you possessive, even in friendship.

Friends, brothers, sisters… everyone has possessive feelings. I understand that. It’s my fault. I’m too excellent, making it hard for you to let go of me.”

Bian Yingning looked at Hua Cancan deeply, sadly.

Hua Cancan thought she was full of it and wanted to punch her.

When her friend sent her a screenshot of Ji Xiaoxue’s Moments, she felt betrayed.

Ji Xiaoxue, Jiang Jiaotao, Duanmu Zhengjie…

She had met more people behind her back.

Perhaps it was her possessiveness. She knew it was normal, but she couldn’t help feeling upset.

Even if she had other things to do, this was a thorn in her side.

She couldn’t let go or remove it, only causing herself distress.

Bian Yingning put two glasses of juice on the table, pushing one towards Hua Cancan.

“Don’t worry about those people. You’re my most important friend,” she said sincerely.

Hua Cancan didn’t speak.

She had no right to criticize Bian Yingning because she was also playful and made friends easily.

But…

Those were fleeting friendships. Her only true friend was Bian Yingning.

Bian Yingning used to be indifferent to the world.

She treated everyone the same, but she knew they couldn’t compare to Hua Cancan.

Hua Cancan was unique to Bian Yingning.

But something had changed.

She didn’t feel unique, and others seemed to get more from Bian Yingning.

Hua Cancan took a sip of juice, “Maybe… I’m in love with you.”

That’s why she was insecure and jealous.

For example, when she saw Shang Qinghui’s car at the gate, she had to restrain herself from rushing out.

And Bian Yingning’s visible joy upon returning made her angry.

“Pfft—cough, cough, cough…”

Bian Yingning took a sip of juice, and Hua Cancan’s next words almost killed her.

She choked.

In love with me?

After a while, Bian Yingning recovered.

Hua Cancan withdrew her hand, staring at her, searching for an answer.

“Don’t scare me…” Bian Yingning muttered.

“We’ve known each other for over ten years. If you’re in love with me, did you just fall in love with me? It’s undeniable that you love me, but we don’t have that kind of relationship.”

Bian Yingning sighed, suddenly becoming a relationship expert.

“We’re like family. You might feel I’ve neglected you by going out with others, causing you some bitterness.

You think it’s jealousy, that you like me… it’s possessiveness.

Like a child not wanting their parents to have another child, fearing they’ll lose their love…”

Hua Cancan listened seriously, but her face darkened, “Do you think that analogy is appropriate?”

It was a subtle way to take advantage of her, comparing her to a child and herself to her parents.

Bian Yingning: “…”

Damn it, she’s so sensitive.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s appropriate. What matters is that you understand.”

Hua Cancan pondered.

Leaving, she still felt something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out.

After watching the movie a third time, Hua Cancan had been gone for a long time, but Bian Yingning hadn’t moved.

She sat in front of the screen, staring at a still image.

Had she missed something?

The first time she watched it, she fainted.

The second time, her heart ached. The third time, her heart felt heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing down on her.

Was it my problem… or the original owner’s?

…

The wind was fast—

No, not the wind, her speed.

Bian Yingning seemed to be in a car, her hands gripping the steering wheel, but her feet weren’t on the pedals.

She was startled. The speed was so fast she couldn’t see anything. There were sharp turns ahead. She wanted to stop but couldn’t control the car!

The car was being controlled by someone, turning, swerving…

Every movement was terrifying.

What was she doing? Where was she…

As these questions arose, a sharp pain hit her head.

The next second, Bian Yingning could move.

But before she could slow down, the car lost control and crashed through the railing.

Before the crash, she was on a winding mountain road. After the crash, the scene changed.

She was suddenly on the sea, a huge orange-red sunset in the distance, its light shimmering on the water.

It was breathtaking.

She was like a seabird flying towards the sunset, appearing on the sea.

Then, weightlessness. She fell into the deep sea with the car.

The cold, salty water rushed in, heavy, sinking her, leaving her no room to struggle.

Bian Yingning woke up when Zhuo Yi called her.

Her heart was pounding.

Zhuo Yi wiped her sweat with wet wipes, concerned, “Miss, did you have a nightmare?”

Bian Fu called her to get Bian Yingning. She saw Bian Yingning curled up on the sofa, muttering—

“Help.”

Bian Yingning took a long time to recover, drinking the hot water Zhuo Yi gave her. She said, “I’m fine. What is it?”

Her clothes were soaked with sweat and cold against her skin. She stood up to shower.

Zhuo Yi didn’t press further.

“Mr. Bian wants you in his study… but your clothes are wet. Go change or shower first. I’ll tell him.”

Bian Yingning nodded, showered, and went to Bian Jiageng’s study.

Bian Jiageng sat behind his desk, his expression serious.

“Dad, you wanted to see me?” Bian Yingning said after closing the door.

“Sit,” Bian Fu pointed to a chair.

Bian Yingning sat down.

Bian Jiageng flipped through some documents, “The bidding for the southern land development rights is coming up. I heard you’re preparing to win this project?”
