When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 43

Ji Heyuan didn’t notice Zheng Zhouzhou’s unsightly expression at that moment.

Although she didn’t believe that Ji Xu’an would really attack Zheng Zhouzhou, she still agreed to Zheng Zhouzhou to help her ask Ji Xu’an.

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t get the answer she wanted, and her expression showed her displeasure. Ji Heyuan, oblivious, pointed the camera at Little Bun.

“Look at the kitten, isn’t it cute?”

Zheng Zhouzhou cheered up and said perfunctorily, “When did you get a cat?”

Ji Heyuan replied casually, “It’s not mine, it’s my sister-in-law’s.”

Hearing this answer, Zheng Zhouzhou’s expression seemed even more ugly, “Your sister-in-law?”

Ji Heyuan knew that Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t like Jiang Jiang very much, and she was also consciously avoiding mentioning things related to Jiang Jiang in front of Zheng Zhouzhou, so Zheng Zhouzhou’s impression still remained on that Ji Heyuan’s unwillingness to accept this sister-in-law.

Suddenly hearing the words sister-in-law from Ji Heyuan’s mouth, Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t even react immediately.

“Yeah, my sister-in-law likes cats very much, and my sister also agreed, so they adopted this cat.” Ji Heyuan also liked it, but Little Bun didn’t really like her. “It’s called Little Bun,” she said, “I named it. Don’t you think it’s cute?”

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t like cats, especially when she thought that this cat was raised by Xie Xiao, she was even more disgusted.

“Isn’t this the cat that Xie Xiao was going to see when she was kidnapped that time?”

She really mentioned something she shouldn’t have. The smile on Ji Heyuan’s face faltered slightly. “Yeah.”

Zheng Zhouzhou smiled, “Then it’s really lucky to be adopted by President Ji and live a life without worrying about food and clothing.”

“But I heard that cats can’t be raised well. As long as someone who is better to her appears, she will not hesitate to abandon her owner. Xiao Yuan, you have to remind President Ji to be careful, not to be tricked by a stray cat.”

Ji Heyuan frowned when she heard this, “What are you talking about? Little Bun is just a cat, what bad intentions can it have?”

“And Little Bun likes my sister very much.” Her tone was still sour, obviously thinking of the scene where Little Bun acted coquettishly towards Ji Xu’an yesterday.

Zheng Zhouzhou was almost angered to the point of vomiting blood by Ji Heyuan’s stupidity. Was I talking about cats?

“I hope so.” She reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth.

Even if Ji Heyuan was stupid, she could hear Zheng Zhouzhou’s implication. She put on a cold face, and her usually not very smart eyes were now particularly sharp, “What do you mean?”

Zheng Zhouzhou was stunned. She didn’t expect Ji Heyuan to give her a cold face. Ji Heyuan’s expression at this moment was actually a bit similar to Ji Xu’an’s usual expression.

Zheng Zhouzhou, already resentful, was now even angrier. “How dare I have ulterior motives? Your sister is already targeting me for doing nothing! If I did anything more, wouldn’t I be completely blocked?”

The resentment and dissatisfaction in Zheng Zhouzhou’s words were so obvious that it was difficult for Ji Heyuan to ignore them, she hadn’t anticipated things turning out this way.

In the past, she thought Zheng Zhouzhou was considerate and understanding, but at this moment, Ji Heyuan saw a disturbing distortion in Zheng Zhouzhou’s usually beautiful features.

Is this even the Zheng Zhouzhou I know?

Ji Heyuan had no desire to continue placating her. She wasn’t known for her patience, and if it weren’t for her fondness for Zheng Zhouzhou, she wouldn’t have put up with her

“Do you have paranoia?  I said, my sister didn’t mean it that way.” Ji Heyuan rolled her eyes, “Besides, if you have a problem with my sister, you go to her, why are you angry with me?”

Before, even if Ji Heyuan hadn’t actively courted Zheng Zhouzhou, she’d always spoken to her gently. This was the first time she’d spoken to Zheng Zhouzhou so harshly. Not to mention Zheng Zhouzhou, even Jiang Jiang, who was eavesdropping not far away, was stunned.

Ji Heyuan was the type who would fiercely protect those she loved, and just as fiercely destroy those she hated. Jiang Jiang knew this all too well.

When Ji Heyuan didn’t like Jiang Jiang before, she targeted her everywhere; later, Ji Heyuan changed her mind about her, and called her sister-in-law intimately, and didn’t allow others to say bad things about Jiang Jiang.

Zheng Zhouzhou had only experienced Ji Heyuan’s love before. She probably didn’t expect that Ji Heyuan would also be impatient with her one day.

Jiang Jiang listened to the conversation between the two with a blank expression.

Zheng Zhouzhou was indeed frightened.

In fact, when she first reborn, her attitude towards Ji Heyuan was still quite cautious, but perhaps because Ji Heyuan was too easy to deceive, Zheng Zhouzhou gradually lost her fear of her.

In her heart, Ji Heyuan was just a big fool who would come over happily after being coaxed a little.

She didn’t expect that this big fool would also lose her temper with her.

Zheng Zhouzhou realized that she was panicking, but she had been used to being held by Ji Heyuan, and couldn’t bring herself to apologize for a while, so she could only shed tears silently with red eyes.

If she had seen this scene before, Ji Heyuan would definitely feel very distressed and would have started apologizing and coaxing Zheng Zhouzhou.

But this time, for some reason, Ji Heyuan felt a little upset when she looked at the accusing look on Zheng Zhouzhou’s face on the screen.

It wasn’t my fault, so why should I apologize?

What request of Zheng Zhouzhou’s hadn’t I fulfilled?

She wanted to be the female lead, and Ji Heyuan helped her, she wanted money, and Ji Heyuan gave it to her, usually, if Zheng Zhouzhou had any other requests, as long as Ji Heyuan could do it, she would satisfy Zheng Zhouzhou.

And yet, Zheng Zhouzhou still felt Ji Heyuan had wronged her.

Ji Heyuan rubbed her eyebrows, “Then tell me, what do you want?”

“Ask my sister and say to replace the second female lead, right?”

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t speak, but obviously confirming Ji Heyuan’s statement.

Ji Heyuan sneered, “Then tell me, who should play the second female lead after she’s replaced?”

“The crew would have to find someone who is inferior to you in every way, right?”

Ji Heyuan stared at Zheng Zhouzhou, with undisguised disappointment on her face, “Didn’t you just say that you think your acting skills are enough to play the female lead? Are you afraid of being compared?”

“Is it that you know you’re not as good as others, and you’re worried about being overshadowed by the second female lead?”

Ji Heyuan’s words were too heartbreaking. Zheng Zhouzhou couldn’t believe that these words came from her mouth and she cried out, interrupting Ji Heyuan.

“Ji Heyuan! How can you… how can you say that to me?”

Ji Heyuan pursed her lips. Of course, she also knew that her words were too much. She liked Zheng Zhouzhou and had carefully understood Zheng Zhouzhou’s thoughts, so she knew clearly how to say it to make Zheng Zhouzhou hurt the most.

Ji Heyuan scratched her hair irritably, “Forget it, let’s all calm down. Don’t think too much, I promise you, the role of the female lead will only be yours, no one can take it away, just act with your heart.”

What else could Zheng Zhouzhou say?

The call changed nothing, and only worsened her relationship with Ji Heyuan. Zheng Zhouzhou deeply regretted her actions.

Knowing what she knows now, she wouldn’t have called Ji Heyuan.

Ji Heyuan didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She knew that her emotions were very unstable now. In order to avoid saying more hurtful words later, Ji Heyuan hung up the phone decisively.

“What the hell happened?” Ji Heyuan was so annoyed that she forcibly hugged Little Bun and rubbed Little Bun’s head hard to vent the irritability in her heart.

Little Bun didn’t indulge her either, and gave her two claws fiercely, not breaking the skin, but leaving two scratches.

Ji Heyuan screamed and stared at the kitten with tears in her eyes, “Little Bun, I’m your aunt, how can you be rude to your elders!”

Little Bun turned her butt to her, expressing her refusal attitude to the fullest.

Jiang Jiang, having enjoyed the drama, slowly approached.

Ji Heyuan’s hand, which was about to poke Little Bun’s butt, stopped in mid-air. She embarrassedly retracted her hand, “Xie Jiang Jiang, you’re awake.”

Jiang Jiang walked over with crutches. Little Bun couldn’t wait any longer, and rushed over in a few steps, climbing up her legs. The kitten’s clinginess made Ji Heyuan jealous.

“Xiao Yuan, I seemed to hear you talking to someone on the phone just now.” Jiang Jiang asked casually while scooping up Little Bun’s furry body.

Speaking of this, Ji Heyuan’s emotions dropped again, “Yeah, it was Zhouzhou calling.”

Jiang Jiang’s face was full of curiosity, betraying no sign of her eavesdropping just now, “Is it related to the play you told me about?”

“Yeah.” Ji Heyuan didn’t want to talk about this, she changed the subject, “Have you finished reading that script? Is it very exciting?”

Jiang Jiang hummed, “I’ve finished reading it, it’s really interesting.”

Although she didn’t like Zheng Zhouzhou, she had to admit that the script was really well-written, the plot was tightly paced, the logic was clear, and the overall look was memorable and worth repeated appreciation.

“Right, so do you think my sister also thinks this movie will be popular, so she invested in sponsorship?”

Jiang Jiang smiled, “It should be, which shows that your vision is still very good, Xiao Yuan. Sister’s investment in this movie is an affirmation of you.”

Ji Heyuan’s originally depressed mood improved a lot.

See, when it comes to talking, Xie Jiang Jiang always has the ability to make her feel physically and mentally happy.

Zheng Zhouzhou only makes her angry.

Ji Heyuan unconsciously told Jiang Jiang about the conflicts that had just happened. She felt that if it was Jiang Jiang, she would definitely be able to look at this matter very rationally.

After listening, Jiang Jiang thought for a while before saying with certainty: “Sister definitely won’t do that. This script is already perfect enough. If the scenes of the second female lead are increased, it would ruin the whole thing.”

“Sister is not stupid, she can definitely see what is most beneficial to her. Besides, Xiao Yuan, you wouldn’t let that happen, so Miss Zheng really doesn’t need to worry.”

“Exactly!” Ji Heyuan slapped her thigh. “I said she has paranoia, Sister has no intention of targeting her.”

Jiang Jiang’s lips curled slightly. She fiddled with Little Bun’s ears with her fingertips, her voice still soft and gentle, “Perhaps it’s because Miss Zheng has prejudices against me and Sister, so she thinks Sister is ill-intentioned.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Jiang paused. Seeing Ji Heyuan frowning and thinking, she added seemingly unintentionally, “And according to Miss Zheng, she doesn’t seem to like cats very much.”

Ji Heyuan’s brows furrowed even tighter. Her eyes fell on Little Bun, and the two orange little ears moved back and forth, making her heart melt.

Ji Heyuan liked cats very much, otherwise she wouldn’t actively name the cat and try to please Little Bun several times.

She also wanted to raise a few cats of her own in the future, but Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t like cats. If they were to be together, wouldn’t she be unable to raise cats in the future?

For the first time, Ji Heyuan realized so clearly that there would be differences in her and Zheng Zhouzhou’s living habits and views on things. Before, she thought that Zheng Zhouzhou was very compatible with her, only because she had not seen other aspects of Zheng Zhouzhou.

These were minor issues easily resolved. But what if we faced more significant disagreements in the future?

Moreover, Zheng Zhouzhou obviously didn’t like her family. Ji Heyuan couldn’t possibly abandon her own sister for her girlfriend, right?

Seeing the troubled look on Ji Heyuan’s face, as if she was contemplating something serious, Jiang Jiang thoughtfully refrained from interrupting.

She understood that it wouldn’t be easy for Ji Heyuan to give up on Zheng Zhouzhou, but Jiang Jiang’s efforts were not in vain. Clearly unlike in the story, Ji Heyuan was no longer so quick to favor Zheng Zhouzhou when faced with difficulties.

After eating the breakfast made by Sister Zhou, Jiang Jiang sat on the balcony and basked in the sun. She took out the notes she had made yesterday and read them again. After confirming that she understood all the knowledge points thoroughly, she took out the script that Ji Heyuan had sent her.

Ji Heyuan sat next to her watching her phone. She was a little absent-minded. Jiang Jiang called her several times before Ji Heyuan finally came back to her senses.

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Jiang put down the tablet, “Xiao Yuan, what do you think about me writing a novel too?”

Ji Heyuan immediately forgot about Zheng Zhouzhou, and became very interested in what Jiang Jiang said, “You want to write a novel? Sure, maybe our family can produce a great writer in the future.”

Before Jiang Jiang had time to explain, Ji Heyuan continued to ask: “What type of novel do you want to write? Tell me and I’ll help you with some references.”

Jiang Jiang carefully chose her words. “It’s about someone who’s lived under strict rules for years, then suddenly finds themselves in a completely new and unfamiliar world, all within a dream. Here, she sees towering buildings, cars speeding on the road, and all kinds of shops with clean windows, as well as young girls walking freely on both sides of the road, passing her by in a hurry.”

“At first, this person only regarded this dream as her own fantasy. She recorded this magical experience and called the world in the dream a fairyland. But every night after that, this person would dream, and each time the location she dreamed of was different.”

“The world in the dream is too beautiful, but after waking up, she still has to be bound by strict rules, so she gradually develops the idea of resistance.”

“She wants to use what she learned in the dream to try to change the world she lives in.”

After listening, Ji Heyuan made a summary, “I understand, it’s a story about a protagonist who has lived in ancient times since childhood accidentally travels to modern times in a dream, and then she uses her modern knowledge to make an impact in ancient times, right?”

Jiang Jiang: “That’s roughly the meaning.”

“That’s good, it’s very meaningful. If it’s well-written, it’ll be a great novel. Today’s readers still like to read this type of novel.”

Ji Heyuan asked Jiang Jiang, “Do you usually read novels?”

Jiang Jiang first shook her head, then nodded, “I’ve read some stories about talented scholars and beautiful women before, as well as novels with mountain spirits and monsters as the protagonists. Recently, on the recommendation of a friend, I’ve read some very popular ones.”

Ji Heyuan raised her eyebrows, “For example?”

Jiang Jiang took out her phone and flipped out the videos she had collected, holding them up to Ji Heyuan like a treasure.

Ji Heyuan curiously leaned over, and then heard music that was particularly familiar to her.

“The coffin is buried deep in the valley…”

The corners of Ji Heyuan’s mouth twitched, “Okay, I get it, is there anything else?”

Jiang Jiang silently flipped to the next one.

“Yo! Yo! Yo! The school beauty is my roommate~ She comes to seduce me every day~ Wearing white stockings at night~ Sitting~ on~ my~ bed~”

Ji Heyuan quickly pressed pause when she heard this, “Don’t play it anymore! The following part shouldn’t be played!!”

Her expression was indescribable, “What are you watching every day?”

Jiang Jiang blinked, “My friend said these are very popular.”

“That’s right, but…” Ji Heyuan’s eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a ball, she wanted to say something, but gave up in the end, “Forget it, I’ll download a novel app for you.”

“You want to write a novel, right? You can write on this website.”

Ji Heyuan was particularly enthusiastic, not only helping Jiang Jiang download the novel app, but also helping her register an account.

“You apply to become an author, and then you can start writing.”

Jiang Jiang likely understood. She only had a concept so far and hadn’t actually started writing, so there was no rush to apply for authorship.

“You can also take a look at other people’s works first, and learn from their writing techniques.”

Ji Heyuan opened her account, “I’ll recommend you a treasured author of mine, the famous writer ‘Human Sweet Orange’, such a big shot.”

“She’s really diligent. She starts writing as soon as the sun comes out every day, and doesn’t rest until late at night. She can be said to get up earlier than the chicken and sleep later than the dog, and has been rated as an outstanding author representative who has moved readers for a hundred years.”

Jiang Jiang looked admiring, “Then how many words does she update a day?”

Ji Heyuan coughed, “That’s not important.”

“Anyway, you can take a look, she has many completed works.”

So Jiang Jiang collected the ‘Human Sweet Orange’ column. Not only that, but she also specially collected several pre-receives from the author.

Ji Heyuan praised her as an angel reader.

Jiang Jiang is in high spirits now and began thinking about her novel outline.

After lunch, Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan went to the nursing home to talk to Grandma Ji for a while, and then she came back in the afternoon to continue writing her novel.

Until Ji Xu’an got off work in the evening, Jiang Jiang was still holding the computer and typing. Even Ji Heyuan admired her serious energy.

Ji Xu’an learned from Ji Heyuan that Jiang Jiang was going to write a novel. She didn’t disturb Jiang Jiang, but gave her an encouraging look after Jiang Jiang finally stopped.

“If you need help, just tell me.”

Jiang Jiang’s face was a little tired, but her eyes were bright, as if two clusters of hot flames were flashing in her eyes, “Thank you, Sister, but I still want to try it myself first.”

Ji Xu’an didn’t ask any more questions.

Ji Heyuan still didn’t leave at night. Since both she and Jiang Jiang had school tomorrow, and Ji Heyuan didn’t want to rush, she planned to leave with Jiang Jiang in the morning.

How to arrange sleeping at night became a problem again. Ji Xu’an initially walked towards her room, but was a step slower than Ji Heyuan. Ji Heyuan guarded the door tightly, smiling particularly wretchedly.

“Oh, anyway, you two will be sleeping together eventually, so don’t worry about it. It’s fine, I don’t mind. you don’t need to coax me specially.”

Ji Xu’an frowned, “Last night…”

The situation was special last night, and me and Jiang Jiang didn’t have to sleep together.

But Ji Heyuan didn’t give her a chance to explain, “Just pretend I’m unwilling, okay? Go quickly!”

She reached out and pushed Ji Xu’an’s shoulder, but Ji Xu’an didn’t move.

She reminded Ji Heyuan, “This is my room.”

Ji Heyuan was almost amused by her sister’s pretense of seriousness, “This is still your house, strictly speaking, Xie Jiang Jiang’s room is also your room.”

Ji Xu’an couldn’t find words to refute her for a moment.

Jiang Jiang stood at the door of her room, not participating in the battle between the two sisters, but when Ji Xu’an looked over, her cheeks still burned red, and her eyes and brows carried a moving glow.

“I’m fine with anything.” Jiang Jiang glanced at Ji Xu’an, and then curved the corners of her lips.

Ji Heyuan felt she’d completely seen through their little game. Perhaps this secret intimacy was exactly the kind of thing her sister enjoyed.

Without saying a word, she slipped in, closed the door, and then Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an heard the lock click into place.

Ji Xu’an was speechless, and the thoughts in her heart were so complicated that even she couldn’t tell them apart.

She should blame Ji Heyuan for messing around, but Ji Xu’an actually didn’t have much unwillingness in her heart.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang reached out and tugged at the corner of Ji Xu’an’s clothes.

“Sister, why don’t you come in first, it’s cold outside.”

Ji Xu’an took two steps, following her lead. Even after Jiang Jiang released her, she didn’t turn to leave, instead following her into the bedroom.

It was still early, and neither felt sleepy. Ji Xu’an found a book on Jiang Jiang’s bookshelf to read, and Jiang Jiang held her computer and typed.

She had learned to use Pinyin, but she still typed very slowly.

The book in Ji Xu’an’s hand hadn’t been turned for a page for a long time, and her eyes had been on Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang’s expression was very serious when she was typing, even showing a bit of seriousness. When she lowered her eyes to think, her head would be tilted unconsciously, and a playful strand of loose hair swayed gently with her movements, catching Ji Xu’an’s attention.

Ji Xu’an was unconsciously lost in thought.

After Jiang Jiang wrote for a while, the phone next to her suddenly vibrated twice. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a message from Ji Heyuan.

[Ji Heyuan: What are you doing?]

Jiang Jiang:?

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: I’m writing a novel, and Sister is reading a book.]

[Ji Heyuan:…]

[Ji Heyuan: You two are so boring.]

Although she’d suspected Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an wouldn’t do anything, she hadn’t expected the two women to be in the same room, each honestly under their own quilts, doing their own thing. Wasn’t this a terrible waste of the opportunity I’d created for them?

[Ji Heyuan: Don’t you two kiss?]

Jiang Jiang’s typing hand trembled. Ji Heyuan’s remarks were too bold. Jiang Jiang quietly tilted her phone screen a little, seemingly not letting Ji Xu’an read the content of the chat.

But Ji Xu’an’s eyes had been on her, so she naturally didn’t miss this little action of Jiang Jiang’s.

Originally, if Jiang Jiang didn’t hide, Ji Xu’an wouldn’t think there was anything, but it was precisely because of Jiang Jiang’s veiled action that Ji Xu’an became suspicious.

Was there something I shouldn’t see?

A look of suspicion appeared in Ji Xu’an’s eyes.

Jiang Jiang’s eyelashes drooped, staring at Ji Heyuan’s bold words in the chat interface, her cheeks flushed red.

This shy, timid demeanor gave Ji Xu’an a bad feeling in her gut.

Ji Heyuan was still sending new messages.

[Ji Heyuan: My sister is just pretending to be serious, you take the initiative.]

[Ji Heyuan: You touch her thigh, hook her palm, and pull down your collar, and you’re guaranteed to make her fascinated.]

Jiang Jiang took a deep breath. She glanced at Ji Xu’an, who was looking at her straightly, and then clicked on Ji Heyuan’s profile and changed a new name for her.

Seeing that Jiang Jiang was so serious that she didn’t even notice that she was looking at her, Ji Xu’an’s mood suddenly became very bad. Her face was cold and heavy, and she suddenly leaned over to Jiang Jiang.

“Who are you chatting with?”

It wasn’t Ji Xu’an’s style to peek at other people’s phone screens without permission, but she couldn’t care about that at this time.

Jiang Jiang couldn’t dodge in time, and only had time to exit the chat interface.

So Ji Xu’an saw that in the WeChat list at the top, a person named “Little Bird” had sent Jiang Jiang a new message.

[Sister, can I see your legs?]
