Chapter 6: Gu Gege, They’re Bullying Me

In the original story, the antagonist only quit his bodyguard job six months later, so why would he suddenly propose such a demand?

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck in her mind, and Jiang Mi’s consciousness sank. All she could hear was herself saying, “Okay.”

The employment contract was voided.

Gu Chuan was no longer Jiang Mi’s bodyguard.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Jiang Mi finally regained control of her senses after the system had temporarily taken over her body. Her voice was cold as she said, “Benben, give me an explanation.”

Benben, having no time to think about the plot line, only wanted to separate the antagonist and the host as quickly as possible. When it heard the antagonist’s condition, it acted on its own, exercising the system’s highest authority and temporarily taking over the host’s body.

【Well, the antagonist’s request should be fulfilled.】

“Does this mean the antagonist’s storyline for the next five months is out of the picture?”

【Ahem, the world mission mainly revolves around the main couple, not the antagonist.】

Benben really wanted to wail out loud, but it restrained itself. “Darn it, Mimi, you haven’t been serious about the mission at all!”

But it didn’t dare.

It was just a small, weak, and helpless Benben, after all.

【Oh, looks like a friend’s calling me. Mimi, I’m going out to play, don’t miss me too much, okay?】

Benben said this and vanished from Jiang Mi’s consciousness in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Mi let out a soft sigh. She knew she wouldn’t get any answers from Benben, so she didn’t dwell on it further.

One month, huh?

The man she had her eyes on, whether at the ends of the earth or the deepest corners of space, she would pursue him.

Soon, a staff member knocked on her door, informing her that it was time for her to enter.

Jiang Mi asked, “Where’s Gu Chuan?”

“He’s the last one to make his entrance.”

The staff suddenly remembered—this sister had made headlines for fighting for her position before!

“Ahem, Miss Jiang, the order of entry is decided by random drawing, it has nothing to do with position!”

Jiang Mi smiled and said, “If I’m overshadowed by him, I don’t mind at all.”

The staff member was left speechless. Did we forget a spot for her? Was that it?

When Jiang Mi arrived at the Love Shack, six guests were already inside. The most eye-catching were, of course, the male and female leads in the C-position.

The female lead, Bai Ruanruan, had red eyes, looking both aggrieved and fragile.

The male lead, Shen Mingxuan, was gently comforting her, showing patience and care.

This scene had fans swooning, exclaiming, “I’m dying from the sweetness!”

Jiang Mi thought they made a good pair—one was a green tea, heartthrob, and the other a hypocritical, playboy scoundrel. Quite the cool match!

Shen Mingxuan didn’t like the original host but, due to the original host’s family background, couldn’t directly reject her. He used his gentleness as an excuse, staying distant yet close, drawing the original host deeper into the love trap.

“Jiang Mi-jie’s here!” a bright, energetic voice shouted.

Jiang Mi turned to see a sweet girl wearing a JK uniform. She was… quite adorable.

Just seeing the cute girl made Jiang Mi’s mood brighten.

But just as things were looking pleasant, someone had to stir things up.

“Ruanruan, you’re just too kind. You tried so hard to help others get more screen time, but you didn’t even get a thank you. Instead, they just mocked you!”

Bai Ruanruan cautiously glanced at Jiang Mi before lowering her head in a pitiful manner, whispering, “Wanru, don’t say it.”

Chen Wanru, looking at the live stream camera, stood up, her tone firm. “I just can’t stand seeing kind people getting bullied!”

Chen Wanru stood and went to defend Bai Ruanruan, but Bai Ruanruan pretended to quickly grab her arm, letting her hand deliberately slip off and watch her march straight up to Jiang Mi.

A flash of vicious malice gleamed in her lowered eyes.

“Jiang Mi, Ruanruan is too kind to hold it against you, but as her good friend, I can’t stand by and watch you bully her like this!”

“So, what you’re saying is, her kindness in not holding it against me is being kind, while your grudge against me is… malicious?”

Chen Wanru didn’t expect Jiang Mi to dare to confront her like this in front of the live camera, and she was stunned for a moment.

【Hahaha, that was brilliant! She’s kind, so you’re malicious!】

【Jiang Mi’s logic is on point. I’m noting this down for future arguments!】

【Jiang Mi is so disgusting! Chen Wanru was just standing up for Ruanruan, and she’s making her look like a fool. She’s bullying the good-natured people!】

【Well, to be honest, the so-called ‘good-natured’ person started the trouble first.】

“Jiang… Jiang Mi, you’re spitting blood! Don’t think just because you have a wealthy backer you can act this arrogantly. This is how you treat your seniors?” Chen Wanru finally reacted, angrily pointing at Jiang Mi.

“And what should I do? Should I grovel before a clown just because I have a backer? I’d rather not, and my backer wouldn’t want that either.”

“You admit it! You admit you have…” Chen Wanru froze, looking down at her finger, which was bent at a horrifying angle.

Jiang Mi smiled at her, her gaze dangerously cold. “Senior, pointing at people like that is very rude.”

Chen Wanru looked at her in horror before letting out a high-pitched scream. “Ah, my finger, it’s broken, it’s broken!”

Her scream made the staff rush in a panic.

Jiang Mi casually curled her fingers, her demeanor completely unruffled. “It’s just dislocated. No need to scream like that.”

“Dislocated?”

The staff quickly examined her hand and sighed in relief. “It’s just a dislocation. It’s fine now. You’re good to go.”

Chen Wanru moved her finger joints, and everything seemed normal, as though the excruciating pain had been nothing but a bad dream.

But when she met Jiang Mi’s smiling gaze, Chen Wanru was sure that wasn’t the case.

【What’s wrong with Chen Wanru? Jiang Mi just moved her finger a bit, and she acted like she was about to be killed!】

【She must be eager to make a show of herself. Now that she can only land small supporting roles, she’s trying to make a comeback with this reality show. Heh, otherwise, how could she be so eager to cling to Bai Ruanruan?】

【This big-chested, brainless sister was actually kind of cool just now. She’s been smiling the whole time, but man, she’s ruthless!】

【Holy crap, did she just kill me with that smile?】

Chen Wanru, unwilling to face Jiang Mi head-on again, turned away in fear. However, Shen Mingxuan suddenly spoke up.

“Jiang Mi, don’t go too far in front of the cameras. It’s bad for your image. Apologize, and this will all blow over.”

His words seemed to be for Jiang Mi’s benefit, concerned about her image. But his tone subtly implied that he had already judged her guilty.

Jiang Mi pretended she didn’t understand, smiling as she glanced at Chen Wanru, her eyes finally landing on Bai Ruanruan, waiting leisurely.

One second… two seconds… three seconds…

The silence in the room was deafening.

Meanwhile, the bullet comments on the live stream were flying by at lightning speed.

【What’s Jiang Mi up to now?!】

【Shen Mingxuan is so handsome. A gentleman stepping up to help Chen Wanru, being so sweet and gentle to Ruanruan—I’m dying from the cuteness.】

【I have a terrifying guess… Jiang Mi seems to be waiting for something…】

Shen Mingxuan frowned, looking at Jiang Mi, not pleased.

Jiang Mi had always been persistent with him, listening to everything he said. So why did she seem different this time?

But after all, the impression she had left on him over time couldn’t be changed in just a few minutes, so Shen Mingxuan urged again, “Jiang Mi, apologize quickly. Don’t delay the filming progress.”

Jiang Mi watched Bai Ruanruan with great interest. “Shen Mingxuan is urging you all. Don’t waste time, hurry up and apologize to me.”
