Best Actress Turns Into A Cat [Semi-Transmigration] - Chapter 5

“Pfft…”

Yin Liang spat out a mouthful of water. Her whole expression looked as if she had just been struck by lightning.

“Miss…” Sister Song could not figure out what was wrong with Yin Liang. “Apply the medicine first. I’ll thoroughly clean Miss’s bedroom from top to bottom today!”

“…” Yin Liang still looked utterly blank. Two thoughts were battling in her mind, while a huge wave of information surged in.

A coincidence? Or was it real?

Wait. If it was real, did that mean that psycho Gui Nuo lived in her house?

Yin Liang looked around the house, which she had originally thought was warm and cozy, and felt chills run down her spine. In an instant, the entire house seemed to turn cold.

No, that was not right. It probably was not her house. Back then, Gui Nuo had slept in the master bedroom, but logically speaking, her own body should still have been in the master bedroom. Yet it had not been there…

Besides, even if Sister Song had already been asleep at that time, there was no way she would not have heard the sounds of someone cooking in the house, right?

Yin Liang reacted. In that case, it should only have been that the house’s decor was the same as hers.

But… how was she supposed to accept the wedding photo in Gui Nuo’s living room… and the fact that that psycho’s endless muttering had been real too…

Yin Liang’s brows were furrowed as if they could never be smoothed out. Sister Song also frowned along with her. “Miss, what’s wrong?” From the look on Yin Liang’s face, it did not seem to be because of the rash. One had to know that the last time Yin Liang broke out in rashes, she had been so uncomfortable she could barely open her eyes, but she had still placed a mirror within reach just so she could see the moment she opened her eyes that she had recovered.

This time was not as serious as last time, but from the moment Yin Liang came downstairs until now, she had not even looked in a mirror. Could it be because of yesterday’s awards ceremony?

“Miss, let me tell you something interesting…” Sister Song suddenly remembered the headline on her mobile browser this morning. In the past, she had never read this sort of entertainment gossip. But ever since she saw a headline about Yin Liang and some male celebrity last time, Sister Song had started paying attention.

Yin Liang’s mind had already been completely flooded by a certain psycho’s name, as well as that cool, clear voice that was now terrifying to her. She had no attention left to spare for the gossip Sister Song was talking about.

But Sister Song felt that Yin Liang would definitely be interested. She understood perfectly what Yin Liang’s weak points were. “This morning’s headline. Guess what it is…”

“…” Yin Liang was not especially interested in these things. The entertainment industry was full of truths and lies. She had long since seen through it. A lot of so-called exposés were nothing more than attempts to stir up buzz and attract attention.

“It’s about Gui Nuo!” Seeing Yin Liang’s lack of interest, Sister Song still refused to give up. While gently applying medicine to Yin Liang’s face, she threw out this bombshell.

Sure enough, Yin Liang instantly perked up. “What happened?”

“Newly crowned Best Actress meets lover on a rainy night…” Sister Song looked at Yin Liang with a gossip-loving expression.

“Last night?” Yin Liang instantly grew excited! If this was true, then that meant everything had only been a dream. She did not need to overthink it. In the future, whenever she saw Gui Nuo, it would be enough for her scalp to go numb. She would not need her whole body to break out in sweat!

Sister Song nodded. “There are pictures and proof. It should have been after the awards ceremony ended. She was even photographed sharing an umbrella with someone in the rain. It’s just that the man’s face wasn’t photographed clearly.”

“That’s enough!!” Yin Liang felt her whole body instantly become refreshed and comfortable!

Yin Liang was just about to think of how to properly celebrate when she was nearly scared breathless by the photo Sister Song pulled up on her phone!!

In the picture, anyone could tell at a glance that the cool, ethereal woman was the newly crowned goddess. But!! Fuck! Could someone please explain why that damned man’s face had not been captured, yet the cat butt sticking out of Gui Nuo’s fluffy coat pocket had been captured?!

Great. Just great! She had originally wanted to use this to escape reality, but instead, it had become ironclad evidence. There was already nothing more torturous than this!

Sister Song looked at Yin Liang a little strangely. Yin Liang’s whole body had gone limp, and she was lying bonelessly on the sofa, her eyes lifeless.

“Miss…” Sister Song’s heart gave a little thud. Which nerve of Miss’s had this injured now? Didn’t Miss always happily eat two extra bowls of rice whenever she saw negative news about Gui Nuo? Why did this time look like she was about to stop eating altogether?

“Sister Song, my worldview has already collapsed. Let me figure out what method I should use to rebuild it… You go do your work first. Don’t worry about me. You don’t need to make me breakfast either…” Yin Liang said weakly.

Yin Liang touched her own head. Could it be a dream within a dream?

“Ah!” Yin Liang bit herself, and pain immediately swept through her nerves. She could not help crying out.

“Miss, what’s wrong?” Sister Song panicked.

“Oh, I was just checking whether I’m dreaming…” Yin Liang pouted. “Go do your work. I want to be alone quietly for a while.”

Sister Song looked at Yin Liang uneasily a couple of times. Only after confirming that there was no real problem did she leave. Yin Liang had no attention to spare for the red rashes on her body. If she had not seen that photo, she could still deceive herself and treat everything as nothing more than a dream. But now? Was she supposed to tell herself that it had all been a coincidence? That there just so happened to be a cat that had run into Gui Nuo’s coat pocket? Or that the photo in the living room had purely been a prank?

But what would be the purpose of such a prank?!

“If I had a robot cat, I’d call him Xiao Dingdang~~”

Her phone ringtone rang. Yin Liang weakly looked at the caller ID: “The Most, Most, Most, Most Beautiful Sister Hua.”

“Hello…” Yin Liang’s voice sounded as if she had only one final breath left.

“It’s just a rash, isn’t it? It’ll be fine tomorrow. Tomorrow, you’ll still be our beautiful-as-a-flower sexy goddess, won’t you? Why do you sound so despairing, like you’ve been disfigured?” Sister Hua’s bright, hearty voice came through.

“I’d rather be disfigured right now…” Yin Liang said faintly.

Sister Hua froze for a moment. What kind of blow had Yin Liang suffered that even someone who had always valued her face more than anything would say something like that?

“Sister Hua… I feel like a dark cloud has floated over my life…” Just thinking of Gui Nuo’s almost psychotic tone and actions from last night made Yin Liang feel as if her whole world had gone dark.

“A dark cloud?” Sister Hua laughed. “If even your life has dark clouds, then a whole crowd of actresses in the entertainment industry must be living in darkness. Tell me, was it yesterday’s awards ceremony that dealt you a blow? I won’t laugh at you.”

“It wasn’t…” Yin Liang felt that this was really too complicated to explain in a few words. If she dared say that Gui Nuo had taken a fancy to her beauty, Sister Hua would absolutely mock her until she no longer recognized her own parents…

How was she supposed to express that she had inexplicably turned into a cat, then been picked up and taken home by that psycho?

“Then what is it? If you don’t tell me, I don’t have mind-reading skills. I can’t comfort you. The best way is to set it aside for now. Right now, you feel like you can’t get past it, but in a couple of days, maybe it’ll be nothing at all.” Sister Hua did not think Yin Liang had encountered anything serious.

“…” Other than this method, what else could she do?

“What’s there to be tangled up over in this world? No matter how annoying something is, it’s only one of two kinds: something you can’t solve no matter what, or something you can solve. For the former, since you can’t solve it anyway, what’s the point of getting tangled up and upset? As for the latter, since you can solve it, there’s even less need to be tangled up over it!” Sister Hua said.

Yin Liang thought about it. It seemed to make sense. “That’s right! What am I tangled up about? Even if someone should be tangled up, it should be her! Sister Hua, you seriously couldn’t be more amazing!”

Sister Hua hung up the phone.

For the sake of your mental health, this old lady has read so many chicken-soup-for-the-soul books. Did you think I read them for nothing?
