When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 46

They had lunch in the cafeteria. After Jiang Jiang finished eating, she received a message from He Jingjing, notifying her that the interview would be at 9:00 p.m. in the A2 teaching building, and telling her not to forget.

S University still retains the tradition of evening self-study, but because Jiang Jiang has applied for off-campus accommodation, she doesn’t have to participate. However, she has to wait until 9:00 p.m. for the interview to start.

Jiang Jiang has no classes in the afternoon, but Ji Heyuan has two. She begged and pleaded before finally coaxing Jiang Jiang to her dormitory.

A group of people were doing their own things, while Jiang Jiang lay sprawled across Ji Heyuan’s desk, working on her novel.

Ji Heyuan’s fingers itched, and she instinctively pulled out her phone to snap a few pictures of Jiang Jiang. She then sent them all to Ji Xu’an at once.

[Ji Heyuan: Working woman is the most beautiful.]

Ji Xu’an didn’t reply to her, but Ji Heyuan knew that her sister had probably seen it, but just didn’t want to pay attention to her.

Yesterday, she also inadvertently caught a glimpse of her sister’s WeChat chat background, which seemed to be a photo of Xie Jiang Jiang.

It was the one Ji Heyuan took of Jiang Jiang on the balcony.

Ji Xu’an, that quiet and reserved person, claimed she didn’t like the photos, but secretly saved them all.

After sending the photos of Jiang Jiang, Ji Heyuan estimated that her sister’s mood shouldn’t be bad at this time, so she took the opportunity to ask about the movie.

She wasn’t stupid either, and didn’t say that Zheng Zhouzhou was unhappy, but started from the other actress.

[Ji Heyuan: You let the actress who was originally scheduled to be the female lead play the second female lead, can she accept it?]

Ji Xu’an replied quickly this time, which made Ji Heyuan even more convinced that her sister just didn’t want to reply to her just now.

[Ji Xu’an: Why wouldn’t she accept it?]

[Ji Xu’an: If she wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t have agreed.]

That’s true, Ji Heyuan also understood that the actress was even less well-known than Zheng Zhouzhou. She had only acted in a few short dramas since her debut, each episode only being two or three minutes long.

This movie should be the better resource she could get in contact with. Even if it was a second female lead, it was better than the short dramas she had acted in before.

Moreover, if she knew that Ji Xu’an had specifically asked her to play the second female lead, she would probably be happy, how could she be unwilling?

No wonder Zheng Zhouzhou was anxious, after all, that was Ji Xu’an.

But Ji Heyuan was still very unhappy, because the message revealed behind Zheng Zhouzhou’s anxiety was that she didn’t trust her very much.

Did Zheng Zhouzhou not believe that I have the ability to persuade Ji Xu’an, or did she not believe that I would fight against Sister for her?

Ji Heyuan recalled the argument yesterday, and her mood dropped again. She leaned against the bedside and slowly typed.

[Ji Heyuan: Have you read the script? What do you think, are there any parts that need to be modified?]

She asked very tacfully. In contrast, Ji Xu’an’s reply was much more direct.

[Ji Xu’an: The second female lead’s scenes will not be changed again, you can tell Zheng Zhouzhou to rest assured.]

Ji Heyuan’s face turned red, and she had a sense of shame of being exposed and seen through.  She hadn’t even mentioned it, so why was she feeling so flustered on Zheng Zhouzhou’s behalf?

Ji Heyuan gritted her teeth and simply went all the way, directly taking a screenshot of this sentence and sending it to Zheng Zhouzhou.

[Ji Heyuan: My sister said that the second female lead won’t have more scenes, you can rest assured.]

Zheng Zhouzhou didn’t reply to her for a long time, not knowing if it was because of embarrassment, or if she really didn’t see it.

Ji Heyuan didn’t care, she was still angry with Zheng Zhouzhou, and didn’t want to lower herself to coax the other party like before.

Of course, in front of Ji Xu’an, Ji Heyuan still said a good word for Zheng Zhouzhou.

[Ji Heyuan: Zhouzhou was just surprised, she didn’t mean to doubt you. “Who is President Ji?” You wouldn’t do such things.]

Ji Heyuan herself felt a little guilty saying this, thinking that it was a good thing her sister didn’t hear what Zheng Zhouzhou said yesterday, otherwise Zheng Zhouzhou would have gotten what she asked for and really had to pack her bags and leave the crew.

[Ji Xu’an: Heh.]

Across the screen, Ji Heyuan seemed to have heard the sarcasm contained in this cold laugh.

She silently changed the subject.

[Ji Heyuan: By the way, Xie Jiang Jiang has to go to the Hanfu Association’s interview tonight, did she tell you?]

After a long while, Ji Heyuan received a reply from Ji Xu’an again.

[Ji Xu’an: What time?]

It seemed she hadn’t.

Ji Heyuan couldn’t help but look at Jiang Jiang in surprise, “Xie Jiang Jiang, you didn’t tell my sister about the interview?”

Jiang Jiang raised her head from the computer screen. Her thoughts hadn’t completely withdrawn, and she was still thinking about the plot of the novel in her mind, but she had already shown a regretful expression on her face, just right. “I forgot.”

Ji Heyuan found it unbelievable. Jiang Jiang usually reported her schedule to Ji Xu’an, but there were times she actually forgot!

“My sister was still asking just now.” Ji Heyuan handed over her phone screen, indicating that she wasn’t lying.

Jiang Jiang looked at it twice, “That’s good, you help me reply.”

Ji Heyuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, “Okay.”

She turned her head and typed to Ji Xu’an:

[Ji Heyuan: Xie Jiang Jiang is busy, she asked me to tell you that she forgot to tell you just now. They’ll start the interview at nine o’clock tonight, and it should be able to end before eleven o’clock.]

Ji Heyuan said it lightly, but she didn’t know how complicated Ji Xu’an’s mood was when she saw this message.

Ji Xu’an didn’t reply to Ji Heyuan, but exited the chat interface and clicked on Jiang Jiang’s profile. The last time she and Jiang Jiang exchanged messages was two days ago.

The last sentence was Jiang Jiang asking her if she had any worries. Since then, the two hadn’t exchanged messages again.

Ji Xu’an lowered her eyes and looked at the phone screen, trying her best to suppress the subtle disappointment in her heart.

Jiang Jiang was chatting with Ji Heyuan every day, but it seemed that she had nothing to say to her. Now, she didn’t even send her messages directly, but asked Ji Heyuan to convey them.

Was it because my personality was too boring?

Ji Xu’an wanted to say something to Jiang Jiang, but when she thought that Ji Heyuan said Jiang Jiang was busy, Ji Xu’an gave up this plan and deleted the “I’ll pick you up tonight” that she hadn’t sent in the chat box.

Just at this time, Zhao Zitang came in to report on work. Ji Xu’an listened with a normal expression, and when Zhao Zitang was about to leave, she pretended to ask casually.

“Secretary Zhao, I have a question I’d like to ask you.”

Zhao Zitang was flattered, “Please ask, I will definitely know everything and say everything!”

“It’s just that, I have a friend…”

Ji Xu’an was still considering her words, and didn’t notice that Zhao Zitang’s eyes had already lit up.

“Did your friend encounter any difficulties?” Secretary Zhao tried her best not to make her tone seem too gossipy.

Ji Xu’an: “Well, my friend has a good friend, and their relationship is very harmonious, but that good friend always doesn’t send my friend messages, why is that?”

Zhao Zitang silently calculated in her heart, oh, Miss Xie doesn’t like to send messages to President Ji?

“Maybe your friend’s good friend just doesn’t like to chat with people.”

After all, Miss Xie looks quite shy and introverted, and she doesn’t usually talk much. It’s normal for her not to reply to messages, right?

Ji Xu’an stared at him, her lips almost drawn into a straight line.

“But she chats with another person every day, and asks that other person to convey things to my friend.”

The cold sweat on Zhao Zitang’s face was almost dripping down. So Miss Xie just didn’t reply to President Ji, but chatted very enthusiastically with someone else?

Zhao Zitang’s thoughts ran a little astray for a second. He wanted to know who that other person was.

But he certainly didn’t dare to ask Ji Xu’an. Not only that, Zhao Zitang also had to pretend not to know that Ji Xu’an’s friend was Ji Xu’an herself.

“Maybe she’s just busy for a while. Why don’t you just have your friend ask her good friend?”

Zhao Zitang gave an example, “You see, eight times out of ten, the angst and suffering in today’s novels comes down to a simple failure to communicate.”

“I love you, but I don’t say it. You misunderstand me, and I don’t explain. Over time, wouldn’t it fall apart?”

Ji Xu’an was thoughtful. Should I just ask directly?

But if Jiang Jiang really thought I was boring, and I still insist on getting an answer, wouldn’t that make both of us embarrassed?

After pondering for a moment, Ji Xu’an asked Zhao Zitang, “Are there any other ways?”

Very good.

The boss didn’t listen to my words at all.

Zhao Zitang smiled politely, “Or, your friend can be more proactive?”

Ji Xu’an felt that he said the same thing as if he hadn’t said anything. Her inner confusion still hadn’t been answered.

What I wanted to know was why, not what to do.

Secretary Zhao vaguely guessed a little, but he didn’t dare to say it. He couldn’t tell the boss that it might be because your girlfriend didn’t love you enough.

Wouldn’t that get me fired in seconds?

Ji Xu’an waved her hand, “You can go out first.”

Zhao Zitang was almost dying of curiosity, but he didn’t dare to ask. He thought that maybe he could secretly inquire with the second young lady?

After Secretary Zhao went out, Ji Xu’an sat on the office chair and thought for a while, and then she finally decided to ask for help from the vast number of netizens.

After a while, a new post appeared in the emotional section.

《Why is my sister ignoring me?》

After sending it out, Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but look at her phone, but even after twenty minutes, no one had replied to her post.

Ji Xu’an clicked on the forum homepage in confusion. Clearly, other people’s posts had a lot of replies, so why didn’t mine have any?

She flipped through other people’s posts and found that everyone’s titles were very distinctive. In contrast, hers was indeed not very attractive.

Ji Xu’an hesitated for a long time before changing her title again.

《My girlfriend often chats with other people, but always ignores me, why?》

This time, it wasn’t that no one was looking at it, but there were hundreds or even dozens of such posts a day. The netizens who clicked in replied without thinking:

[NPC No. 1: You know, we always advise to break up.]

[NPC No. 2: She doesn’t love you anymore, what else could it be?]

[NPC No. 3: All green, it’s good to be a little green.]

Ji Xu’an frowned. The netizens seemed to have misunderstood my meaning. How could there be feelings beyond family affection between Jiang Jiang and Xiao Yuan?

But that was also her fault. Worried about revealing her identity, Ji Xu’an hadn’t explained things fully, leading to the misunderstanding.

She frowned and continued to look down.

[NPC No. 4: Love will definitely produce a desire to share. She doesn’t even want to talk to you, isn’t that already very obvious?]

[NPC No. 5: Sister, listen to my advice, sometimes you don’t need to think too clearly. Take a step back, at least the identity of the real girlfriend still belongs to you, be content.]

Reading those words, Ji Xu’an’s expression froze. She stared at the online comments, lost in thought for a long time.

So Jiang Jiang didn’t chat with me , was it because she didn’t really like me?

…

Jiang Jiang didn’t know that Ji Xu’an had already started asking netizens for help. She had a very fulfilling day.

Because Ji Heyuan and others had classes in the third and fourth periods, Jiang Jiang didn’t want to stay alone in their dormitory. Although the others didn’t mind, she politely declined.

Ji Heyuan simply took her to class together. It happened that this class was also Wen Xueyun’s, and the content was exactly the same as in the morning. Jiang Jiang took out her notes and reviewed them again.

When Wen Xueyun saw her, her expression was obviously a little stunned. During the break, she even came over to chat with Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan for a while.

Finally, Wen Xueyun said to Jiang Jiang, “If there’s anything you still don’t understand about the previous lesson, you can ask me at any time. Sending a WeChat message is also fine.”

Jiang Jiang responded with a smile.

Wen Xueyun glanced at her hesitantly, seeming to want to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say it.

Jiang Jiang guessed that she should want to ask about Ji Xu’an, but Wen Xueyun didn’t say it, so she pretended not to see it.

In fact, Wen Xueyun didn’t mean anything else. She just wanted to know how Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an’s relationship had progressed recently.

Because she had never seen the two of them showing affection in their Moments, and even these two people had never mentioned each other in their Moments, it really didn’t seem like a couple in love.

If it’s someone you like, can you really resist not sharing it?

After class, Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan went to the cafeteria for dinner together, and then returned to her class for evening self-study.

Ji Heyuan sent Jiang Jiang to the classroom door. She poked her head in and looked around, and asked in a low voice, “Is that classmate who is suspected of targeting you here? Point her out to me.”

Jiang Jiang had actually seen He Xinyao, but she shook her head, “I didn’t see her.”

Ji Heyuan sighed regretfully, “Okay, you must tell me next time she’s here.”

Jiang Jiang nodded, “Okay, Xiao Yuan, I can go in by myself, you go first, didn’t Yan Ke have something to find you just now?”

Ji Heyuan thought that it was just a few steps anyway, and nothing should happen, so she left with peace of mind.

Jiang Jiang slowly walked inside. As she passed by He Xinyao, Jiang Jiang heard her hum very lightly.

She stopped and looked down at He Xinyao, “Classmate He, did you call me for something?”

He Xinyao choked, “When did I call you?”

Jiang Jiang raised the corners of her lips very lightly, “I heard you hum, and I thought it was a special way of greeting.”

“Don’t be so conceited!” He Xinyao, noticing someone watching, glared at Jiang Jiang with a mixture of shame and anger, her eyes like daggers.

“My throat is uncomfortable, can’t I cough twice? Who called you?”

Jiang Jiang showed a look of sudden realization, “So that’s how it is, Classmate He, then you can cough slowly, I won’t disturb you.”

After she finished speaking, she continued to walk forward and found an empty seat in the front row and sat down.

He Xinyao stared at Jiang Jiang’s back, cursing her non-stop in her heart, wishing she could tear Jiang Jiang’s white lotus-like face right away.

She had to do something to make Xie Xiao pay the price for her arrogance!

Coincidentally, Jiang Jiang thought so too.
