The Homophobic Woman Is Reborn And Turns the Best Actress Gay - Chapter 6

Since the weather had already turned cold, the two of them quickly finished bathing and went to bed.

Ye Shixun looked at the stiff figure lying beside her, then became aware of how motionless she herself was. Clearly, she was no less nervous than Gu Su’an.

“Thank you.”

After a long silence, Gu Su’an finally spoke those two words.

Ye Shixun answered without thinking, “There’s no need to thank me. These are all things I should do.”

Gu Su’an fell silent again.

Because she naturally had a cold constitution, being caught in such heavy rain had left her hands and feet chilled. Even while hiding beneath the blankets, she could still feel the cold making her tremble.

Ye Shixun, however, was different. She was already comfortably warm.

Looking at Gu Su’an lying beside her, she wanted to pull her into her arms, but she was afraid that doing so would be too abrupt and frighten her.

Suppressing the strange feelings in her heart, Ye Shixun unknowingly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Su’an woke to discover that she had somehow slept her way into Ye Shixun’s arms.

She awkwardly looked at Ye Shixun’s tightly closed eyes and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ye Shixun had not woken up. Otherwise, they would certainly have stared at each other in embarrassment for a while.

After getting out of bed, Gu Su’an sat in the living room.

Only when Ye Shixun opened the bedroom door and came out did Gu Su’an look at her and offer a morning greeting.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Ye Shixun had woken to find that her beloved was still there, so she was naturally in a good mood. But when she saw the unfamiliar distance in Gu Su’an’s expression, an unpleasant feeling rose in her heart again.

After washing up quickly, she hurried downstairs and bought breakfast.

Ye Shixun knew how to cook, but because she had been preparing to move away over the past few days, there were no ingredients stored at home.

Buying groceries and returning to cook early in the morning would have been troublesome. Besides, she had an appointment with a very important investor that morning, so it was better to settle breakfast as quickly as possible.

Ye Shixun had wandered alone for many years and was accustomed to eating by herself.

Even after meeting Gu Su’an in her previous life, she had never managed to overcome her habit of being quiet and reserved.

When Gu Su’an met Ye Shixun in their previous life, she had been deeply insecure, self-destructive, and severely depressed.

Therefore, although neither of them spoke while eating now, the silence did not feel uncomfortable.

“I still have a few things to handle this morning. I’ll help you look for a place this afternoon. Tell me what requirements you have for the apartment.”

After finishing her meal, Ye Shixun sat to one side and asked Gu Su’an, who had already stopped eating.

Gu Su’an ate very little.

Outsiders might have assumed that she was maintaining her figure for acting, but only Ye Shixun knew that Gu Su’an had always had a small appetite.

Only when Ye Shixun personally cooked for her would she graciously take a few extra bites.

Gu Su’an’s gaze shifted slightly before she blurted out, “I don’t have any particular requirements. As long as the rent is reasonable, it will be fine.”

“Mm. Do you have any plans today?”

Ye Shixun tried to learn about her situation indirectly, afraid that being too straightforward would have the opposite effect.

“I don’t have much scheduled today. Filming has been suspended because of the heavy rain. The company will assign me a manager this afternoon, and I’ll attend a reception tonight.”

Gu Su’an spoke simply, her tone ordinary.

But Ye Shixun did not miss the sorrow hidden in her eyes.

Having filming suspended was definitely not a good thing for Gu Su’an.

When thinking about the manager who would be assigned to her, Gu Su’an would instinctively worry that they might be difficult to get along with.

As for the evening reception, that gave her an even greater headache.

She had only just entered the entertainment industry, so the company would not provide her with much support. She also had little money left, which meant finding a suitable evening gown was already a problem.

Ye Shixun sighed.

“This is all my fault. I drove too fast last night. The clothes in your suitcase are probably completely soaked. I’ll arrange a dress for you to wear tonight.”

“Th-That would be too much trouble for you.”

Gu Su’an’s heart tightened uncomfortably.

Under the circumstances, she could only accept Ye Shixun’s help, but Ye Shixun had already done far too much for her.

Ye Shixun smiled apologetically.

“How would that be troublesome? Your entire suitcase was soaked because of me. You’ve already been generous enough not to demand compensation. Giving you one dress is nothing.”

Ye Shixun effortlessly turned her help into compensation.

It had to be said that she understood both Gu Su’an and herself extremely well.

After Ye Shixun and Gu Su’an chatted about a few more inconsequential things, Ye Shixun received a phone call and could only reluctantly say goodbye.

At present, Ye Shixun was merely a salaried employee working for a group of wealthy young heirs.

But if she wanted revenge and wished to protect Gu Su’an, she needed to stand at a different height—one that surpassed those rich second-generation heirs and allowed her to truly grasp her destiny in her own hands.

The person Ye Shixun was going to meet now was a close friend from her previous life.

Given Ye Shixun’s solitary personality, even after she became a smooth and sophisticated businesswoman, she still chose the few people she genuinely trusted according to her own instincts.

Ye Shixun wore a professional suit, her long hair neatly pinned up.

Her meticulous appearance gave her the air of someone in authority, and her bearing was no less impressive than that of established elites.

There was only one difference.

Ye Shixun, who rarely showed emotion, now stood before another woman with a trace of guilt flashing through her eyes.

“You’re Ye Shixun? My cousin was the one who introduced you?”

Ye Shixun stepped forward and extended her hand, revealing a sincere smile.

“Hello, Miss Zhou. I’m the deputy general manager of Yue Tian Group. My name is Ye Shixun.”

Zhou Shihan was a genuine wealthy heiress.

Not only did high society have an exceptionally poor opinion of her, but even within the murky entertainment industry, she was surrounded by all kinds of scandalous rumors.

Zhou Shihan, however, did not care.

She continued doing whatever she pleased. Even after offending nearly everyone in the industry, she carried on exactly as before.

It was not merely because she was willful. She simply possessed enough money to behave however recklessly she wanted.

In Ye Shixun’s previous life, her first encounter with Zhou Shihan had been rather accidental.

Zhou Shihan appeared to be entangled with various male celebrities, but in truth, she was a lesbian.

At the time, Ye Shixun had been an extreme homophobe.

She accidentally saw Zhou Shihan entering a gay bar and immediately became so disgusted that she vomited.

Zhou Shihan, unaware of the reason, kindly stepped forward to support her.

Once they made physical contact, Ye Shixun became even more nauseated. Her entire body trembled, and she closed her eyes before being taken to the hospital.

From that point onward, Zhou Shihan unexpectedly began paying attention to her and even developed inexplicable feelings for her.

Through their occasional interactions, she eventually discovered that Ye Shixun was homophobic.

Later, Zhou Shihan left for a period of time.

When she returned, not only had Ye Shixun become gay, but she had also become involved with a washed-up actress whom everyone treated like a despised rat crossing the street.

Zhou Shihan suppressed her feelings and continued treating Ye Shixun as a friend.

Later, when Ye Shixun entered the business world, Zhou Shihan provided her with tremendous assistance.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the Zhou family was, it still could not stand against the enormous force backing Su Yun.

Su Yun imprisoned Zhou Shihan, destroyed the Zhou family, and even caused Zhou Shihan to become addicted to heroin.

The last time Ye Shixun saw Zhou Shihan in her previous life was in a news report.

A female corpse had been discovered on the rooftop of Yue Tian Group. Her face was twisted grotesquely, and by the time she was found, her body had already been dried by the sun and wind.

Seeing Zhou Shihan alive again made Ye Shixun’s eyes sting, but she forced back her emotions.

In this life, she had not intended to become too involved with Zhou Shihan.

However, through an unexpected twist of fate, she discovered that the president of Yue Tian Group, Chen Yuetian, was Zhou Shihan’s cousin.

After going in circles, she had once again encountered Zhou Shihan in this life.

“Miss Ye, please have a seat.”

Although Zhou Shihan had a poor reputation within the industry, the upbringing expected of a young lady from a prestigious family remained ingrained in her bones.

Every gesture revealed the elegance of a great family.

In her previous life, Ye Shixun had entered high society with absolutely nothing and struggled her way through it.

She understood some of its twisted and obscure rules even more thoroughly than the descendants of century-old aristocratic families.

The two sat facing one another.

Zhou Shihan smiled lightly.

“This meal is my treat. Since this is our first meeting and I didn’t know what you liked to eat, I ordered according to my own preferences.”

“Shihan!”

Ye Shixun stared at Zhou Shihan, her mind filled with the image of her tragic death.

The hatred she felt for Su Yun deepened further.

Had it not been for Su Yun, none of their nightmares would ever have happened.

That woman was nothing but a devil!

“Miss Ye? What’s wrong?”

Seeing that Ye Shixun’s expression was strange, Zhou Shihan became puzzled.

She had originally intended to test this woman, but she had not expected something like this to happen before they even began.
