Quick Transmigration: I'm so angry I could cry! The male lead has gone off-topic again!

Chapter 455 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 32

Seeing that he wasn't eating, Pei Lin warmly urged him, "Eat up, don't be shy! This spicy chicken is delicious."

Ji Yan: ...I don't eat spicy food, didn't you know that!

Ji Yan is different from Pei Lin. Pei Lin really can't handle spicy food, while Ji Yan feels that eating spicy food would damage his image, so he doesn't eat it.

Pei Lin acted like a host, making polite remarks every now and then, which made Ji Yan lose his appetite even more.

But after the meal, he said, "This meal is on you, isn't that a bit much?"

Ji Yan: ...

Are you short of money for this meal or something? Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will think you're stingy?

He glanced at Yun Qing, only to see her looking at him somewhat shyly and asking, "Brother Ji, can we pay for the takeout together?"

Ji Yan: ...Alright, alright, you two really are a perfect match!

Ji Yan, feeling utterly humiliated by their public display of affection, paid the bill and strode ahead, his expression indifferent, seemingly oblivious to the lovey-dovey couple behind him.

After stepping out of the restaurant, he wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't care who wanted to eat the dog food (a metaphor for witnessing public displays of affection).

But Pei Lin walked over and extended his hand to him.

Ji Yan was a little taken aback. He habitually reached out and shook hands with him politely, almost saying, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Then Pei Lin quickly withdrew his hand, leaving behind two words, "Goodbye."

Ji Yan was still holding out his hand dumbfounded. After a moment of hesitation, he cursed inwardly, "What a jerk!" but calmly withdrew his hand. However, his tone was slightly resentful as he said through gritted teeth, "Goodbye!"

He said goodbye to Yun Qing again, then turned and left.

As soon as he got in the car, he took out his phone and chatted with Jian Xingzhou: "[Chuan'er, A-Lin is such a jerk! He's flaunting his relationship right in front of me, it's unbearable!]"

[I think he's acting a bit strange. You didn't see how he pretended to eat so his younger siblings would coax him into eating. Cupid must have shot him in the head when he shot his arrow!]

My dear boatman...you can't be dating behind my back!

Now it's just the two of us single dogs keeping each other company, so you can't betray me!

……

As soon as Jian Xingzhou finished filming, his assistant handed him his constantly vibrating phone.

He rubbed his temples, looking a little tired, but upon seeing the message, he instantly perked up and quickly replied: 【Wait for me! I'll be back in a couple of days!】

After replying to the message, he muttered suspiciously, "Is Lao Ji showing off to me?"

That's so unfair! Pei Lin and his wife invited their friends to dinner, but only invited Lao Ji. What does that make Jian Xingzhou?

At this moment, his assistant whispered to him, "Brother Jian, I heard that there was an accident during the filming of Group B this morning. The incident is a bit strange, and Producer Hu wants to find a master to exorcise the evil spirits."

"It is said that he knows a very powerful master, but that master seems to be unable to come due to other matters. Producer Hu is very anxious and is busy looking for other masters."

Upon hearing this, Jian Xingzhou calmly said, "We must believe in science."

This is another person deeply influenced by Pei Lin, who firmly believes in science and is not afraid of anything strange.

Then he received a message from Pei Lin: "When are you coming back? Let's get together."

Jian Xingzhou immediately put the matter aside and started replying to messages.

At least Pei Lin has a conscience; he still remembers his "former" brother.

Pei Lin had just shaken hands with Ji Yan to send him some auspicious energy. After doing so, he remembered Jian Xingzhou, who was filming in a remote mountain village, and asked him a question.

Knowing that he would be back in a couple of days, he completely ignored the numerous questions about Yun Qing that Jian Xingzhou subsequently sent.

No rush, let's show off after we get married...we'll talk about it later.

Jian Xingzhou himself didn't take what happened on set seriously, so naturally he wouldn't mention it to Pei Lin.

In fact, in the original storyline, this accident on set was the first meeting between Jian Xingzhou and Yu You.

Jian Xingzhou, who believed in science, was greatly shocked after discovering that the world was very unscientific. As a result, he was deeply impressed by the master Yu You and became very curious about her.

During this period, according to the original storyline, Yu You and Pei Lin were already quite familiar with each other.

After learning that the other was also friends with Pei Lin, the two naturally became closer than strangers who had just met.

After solving the supernatural incident, Yu You was pulled by the director to play a mysterious and unpredictable role. This role later became quite popular, but Yu You had no interest in acting and did not pursue it further.

Therefore, this character has become a beloved figure that many viewers have never forgotten.

During her cameo appearance, Jian Xingzhou taught her some acting techniques and also asked her many questions about the supernatural.

Although Yu You has a rather indifferent personality, she couldn't resist Jian Xingzhou's excessive enthusiasm, and since he was Pei Lin's friend, she naturally had more patience.

The two spent time together and eventually became friends.

Later, due to Pei Lin's connection, the two would come into contact from time to time, and Jian Xingzhou would consult her whenever he encountered something strange, so their relationship naturally became closer and closer.

In the end, they became very good friends.

After Pei Lin and Yu You started dating, if there were any conflicts, Jian Xingzhou would always tell Pei Lin not to take his good fortune for granted and to treat Yu You well.

Jian Xingzhou is just one of them.

Everyone around Pei Lin, including family, friends, assistants, drivers, bodyguards... one after another, were completely conquered by Yu You, the master, just like Jian Xingzhou.

Pei Lin, who has been a prodigy since childhood, is seen by them as being above their station by being with Yu You.

After all, Yu You is no ordinary person.

From the female protagonist's perspective, the original novel is a very satisfying story; she is highly capable and is also the darling of the group.

Even if she faces a life-threatening ordeal, she has the male lead as a cheat code, who not only helps her safely overcome it but also allows her to use the purple energy to become invincible when she fights with others.

However, from the male protagonist's perspective, it's actually quite frustrating. Just by dating the female protagonist, he suddenly becomes isolated and helpless, abandoned by everyone.

Regardless of right or wrong, whenever he and Yu You had even the slightest disagreement, everyone around them thought it was his fault.

Yu You is such a good person! How could we let her suffer?

Even when it comes to matters of principle, those around him feel that he should give in.

However, in the original story, Pei Lin did not feel aggrieved because he was a love-struck person who loved Yu You very much and felt that the people around him were advising him for his own good.

He actually dotes on Yu You unconditionally. The reason why some minor disagreements occur is more to show how much Yu You is loved by the group.

However, the plot is now starting to fall apart in many ways.

Pei Lin didn't like Yu You.

His family members were also very wary of Yu You, and they treated the mere mention of his name as if it were a formidable enemy.

The driver, who was full of gratitude towards Yu You, was fired.

Zhao Qian, as an assistant, is able to understand his place.

As for bodyguards...

Pei Lin didn't originally pay much attention to the issue of bodyguards, only bringing them along occasionally when needed.

In the original storyline, his bodyguards later followed Yu You almost all the way, helping her carry her bags and doing odd jobs.

The bodyguards in the original storyline have now been replaced by top-tier bodyguards newly hired by Pei's father, specifically to guard against Yu You.

Yu You is currently injured due to the backlash from the purple energy, and her mood is extremely bad. Her mind is filled with questions about how Yun Qing could have any connection with Pei Lin, how Pei Lin's purple energy could be on Yun Qing, and why he would protect Yun Qing so much. She has no mood to help others or do anything.

She directly rejected the producer, thus missing the opportunity to meet Jian Xingzhou.

At the restaurant entrance, after watching Ji Yan's car leave, Yun Qing turned to Pei Lin and asked, "Did I cooperate well?"

Pei Lin looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Yun Qing reached out and poked him in the waist. "Don't pretend! You didn't need me to coax you to eat before."

She looked at him with a suspicious gaze as she spoke, "Tell me the truth! When you said you didn't have an appetite when you ate alone, were you faking it too?"

Pei Lin, having been exposed, stopped pretending and said, "That's not entirely true, but I do have a better appetite when I eat with you."

He reached out and patted Yun Qing's head, smiling as he said, "How come you've become so smart?"

Yun Qing glared at him angrily, "Are you saying I was stupid before?!"

Pei Lin slid his hand down and gently squeezed the back of her neck soothingly. "No, I was just thinking..."

He paused, looked Yun Qing up and down, and continued, "...You're not the kind of person who unconditionally trusts your friends but has absolutely no trust in your husband, are you?"

As he spoke, his eyes became somewhat sad, and there was a hint of reproach in them for looking at a heartless woman, "You doubt me? You're already doubting me before we're even married!"

Yun Qing: ...You're such a good actress.

But why does this sound so familiar?
