Best Actress Turns Into A Cat [Semi-Transmigration] - Chapter 6
Thinking about it, Yin Liang felt that did make sense. At most, she had just inexplicably turned into a cat and learned a few things she should not have known, right?
In any case, the only impact it had on her was her attitude toward Gui Nuo. Before, Yin Liang’s attitude toward Gui Nuo had been: if I can’t afford to provoke you, can’t I at least hide from you? Now, Yin Liang felt it would be best if she could stay three hundred meters away from the other party!
“Gurgle, gurgle…” Her stomach began making trouble. She had not eaten dinner last night, and she had not woken up early this morning either. She was so hungry she could hardly stand it.
“Sister Song, I want breakfast!” Yin Liang stood up and said.
Sister Song poked her head out from the kitchen. “I’m already making it. It’ll be ready soon.”
Sister Song understood Yin Liang’s personality very well. No matter what happened, she would be fine after a short while. Especially when she was feeling down and said there was no need to make food for her, it basically meant: Sister Song, I’m in a bad mood, make more delicious food. Once I feel better, I’ll eat it!
Bored, Yin Liang casually turned on the television. Uh… what kind of fate was this! No, wait! It should be called an ill-fated bond. On the television, Gui Nuo was currently hugging Yin Liang.
She did not know whether the reporters had done it on purpose, but almost all the shots were focused on Yin Liang’s face, as if they wished they could find the emotion they wanted there.
Yin Liang looked at herself in the footage, smiling so brightly, looking even more gratified than if she had won the award herself. She had to admit, she did have something called acting skills. At the very least, just by looking at this expression, no one would know that in her heart, she had already cursed Gui Nuo from childhood to adulthood.
“If I had a robot cat, I’d call him…”
Yin Liang casually picked up her phone. Who would be calling at this hour?
When Yin Liang saw the caller ID, she smiled. “Hello?”
“Liang Liang, are you all right? Why are you allergic again?” An anxious female voice came through.
“Little Liangzi, don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll be all right tomorrow. How are things on your side?” Yin Liang teased. “After all, I’m the Imperial Consort, aren’t I?”
“As long as you’re all right.” Liang Min looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat dejected. “I’m still the same as before. Sigh, forget it, let’s not talk about that. Oh right, I saw the entertainment news. You really went to that awards ceremony?”
Yin Liang stood up, turned off the television, took a juicy slice of tangerine, and stuffed it into her mouth. “Of course I went. Why wouldn’t I?”
“That’s true. If you didn’t go, it would be even easier for outsiders to find something to criticize.” Liang Min agreed. “It’s just that you had to suffer again.”
Yin Liang wanted nothing more than to burst into tears. How did that count as suffering? Last night, that…
“Liang Liang?” Liang Min did not hear Yin Liang respond and could not help calling her.
“…” Yin Liang came back to her senses. “Liangzi, what kind of person do you think Gui Nuo is?”
“Why are you suddenly asking me that? Besides, you and she were classmates from elementary school all the way to university. If anything, you should be the one who understands her best.” Liang Min laughed. “Didn’t you say you always kept far away from her? Looks like fate is something you can’t block even if you try.”
“…” Although Liang Min’s words did not contain any ambiguity at all, Yin Liang’s face inexplicably heated.
Yin Liang immediately reacted. Why was her face heating up? Right, right, right! It must be because in all these years, no one had ever liked her in that way before, and now that someone finally had, it had to be someone like this. That was why she had this feeling! It had to be that!
“I feel like she’s pretty amazing. Her resources are very good. She didn’t come from a professional acting background, but every role she’s appeared in has been the female lead.” Liang Min sighed. “I’ve never understood where she got so many resources from. Could she have some kind of background?”
“I’m not sure. I remember from elementary school onward, she walked home. In middle school and high school, she rode a bicycle. Think about that. She doesn’t really seem like someone with a background.”
“Miss, breakfast is ready. Hurry and wash your hands!” Sister Song began setting the table, then turned back and said.
“Got it! Coming right away!” After Yin Liang said this, she spoke to Liang Min on the phone. “I should eat now. If there’s anything, we’ll talk tomorrow when I come to the set. Oh right, I almost forgot to ask. Did Sister Hua tell the director?”
“She did. If she hadn’t, how would I know you were allergic? All right, we’ll talk when you come to the set tomorrow. Oh, right. I wasn’t planning to tell you, but since you’ll find out tomorrow anyway, I might as well tell you now so you can prepare yourself mentally. The second female lead, the one the director couldn’t settle on no matter what, has been decided.” Liang Min looked outside at the person currently listening to the director explain the scene. “Whatever you do, don’t get worked up. Take good care of yourself.”
“Fuck, don’t tell me it’s that psycho Gui Nuo?” Yin Liang could not help swearing!
“Image! Your image!” Liang Min was also a little puzzled. “I don’t understand it either. Why would she take this drama? I heard it was even her assistant who took the initiative to contact the director. The director was so happy he could barely find north…”
Yin Liang’s brain was already completely flooded with the news that the second female lead was Gui Nuo!
“Miss, breakfast!” Sister Song called again. Yin Liang snapped back to herself and pursed her lips. “Fine. How am I supposed to face this cruel world without eating my fill?”
She had never once been confessed to in her entire life. Now that a living person had finally liked her, it actually turned out to be a woman! Fine, even if it was a woman, she was meow-damnedly a psycho!
Wait. Why was she saying “meow-damned”? No, even being a woman did not count!
Forget it. She would think about such brain-straining matters later. Food first!
That morning, Yin Liang ate two more soup dumplings than usual. Seeing Yin Liang’s appetite return, Sister Song felt much more at ease.
Because she did not need to go to the set, Yin Liang spent the entire morning curled up on the sofa reading the script.
Gui Nuo had not come from a professional acting background, and of course, Yin Liang had not either. The two of them had attended the same university. Both had studied law.
The reason Yin Liang studied law was because of her family, but when she saw Gui Nuo at school, aside from feeling that she had been happy for nothing for three whole months after finishing the college entrance exam, all she had left was the thought that this world simply did not get along with her.
Speaking of which, it was also strange. Yin Liang had been confirmed for this drama a year ago, but filming had only recently begun. On top of that, it had started even though they were still missing the second female lead.
When Yin Liang found out back then, she had even sighed, wondering how that character, whose presence was practically comparable to the male lead’s, could possibly not appear.
Saying that the second female lead’s presence was comparable to the male lead’s was absolutely not a joke. The entire drama was thirty episodes long, and the male lead only came out to make a brief appearance around episode eighteen. It was not until the twenties that the male lead’s screen time and plotline increased.
This was mainly because the plot required it. After all, this was an ethical drama, and its target audience was not those little girls who were mainly there for romance.
Judging from Liang Min’s tone, although Yin Liang had not gone today, it was probably just the right time for Gui Nuo to make up the scenes from earlier.
Yin Liang tossed the script aside.
She could not keep reading! Every second female lead had automatically turned into Gui Nuo’s face in her mind. If it were only that, it would still be fine. But as she kept picturing it, that face turned into the sorrowful, resentful face from last night…
