A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 185 Is she really just a supporting female character?

When Jiang Yanzhi returned to his office, he saw her holding her phone, head down, looking as if she had been lost in thought for a long time.

He walked a few steps closer, put his hand on her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. "What are you thinking about?"

The sudden sound made Tang Wanwan, who was engrossed in her work, stiffen, but she quickly relaxed.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled into his embrace: "Are you done with your work?"

The voice was soft and gentle.

Jiang Yanzhi's heart suddenly softened. "Are you bored? You should have someone keep you company."

“I’m not bored. I like quiet and I like being alone,” Tang Wanwan looked up at the person in front of her.

The affection in his eyes was so intense it was almost tangible.

Even the best actors on television don't have that kind of look in their eyes.

They had only known each other for less than two months.

Unable to suppress the strange feeling any longer, Tang Wanwan asked, "Don't you feel like your feelings came out of nowhere?"

"...?" Jiang Yanzhi seemed not to understand her meaning, tilting his head to look at her with a smile, his tone teasing: "What do you mean by inexplicable?"

"Be serious, I'm talking to you about something important."

Tang Wanwan reached out and pinched his cheek, saying seriously, "We've only known each other for a short time. Don't you think you're investing too much in this relationship?"

She was being very tactful.

Actually, it should be described as stubbornness.

In less than two months since they first met, his feelings for her have become obsessive.

Their breakup was so undignified; she even spent the night with another man without offering a proper explanation, only saying she was drunk.

Given his pride, he should have given up completely and never had anything to do with her again.

As a result, after she suggested getting back together and he kissed her twice, he didn't dare to make a fuss at all and readily agreed.

She begged to get back together, but less than half an hour later, her ex-boyfriend came back.

Being summoned and dismissed at will is simply impossible for Young Master Jiang.

And now, this impossible thing has happened.

Jiang Yanzhi still didn't understand her leaps of thought, but he understood the implication behind her words.

"You mean my feelings for you came too easily, and that's abnormal?"

"Correct!"

Tang Wanwan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and jumped up immediately, "This is definitely not normal!"

Jiang Yanzhi's face darkened.

Tang Wanwan explained, "It's not that you're not mentally sound, but rather your behavior..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head was covered by a large hand.

"What are you thinking about all day long?"

Jiang Yanzhi patted her head and said helplessly, "Love isn't a business transaction. You can't set an investment period based on real-time returns, how much to invest in one year, how much to invest in two years?"

If only he could be that rational.

The moment you see her, you should walk away without looking back.

I will never do business with her in this lifetime.

What he said makes a lot of sense.

But Tang Wanwan knew her own situation.

The existence of that dream had already made her doubt the reality and illusion of this world.

However, she sees herself as a 'supporting female character'.

Now, the male lead and the male supporting character, along with Shen Zhixing and Gu Yunyi, who are not even part of the story in her dream, suddenly develop feelings for her in an abnormally intense way.

...These days, Tang Wanwan has been binge-reading countless novels, and she has never seen any female supporting character receive this kind of treatment.

Is she really just a supporting actress?

Or perhaps there's some hidden story behind that dream. So far, all she knows is that Jiang Yanzhi is her ultimate tonic, and that's for sure.

Everything else was a complete mystery.

Tang Wanwan made up her mind, but at the same time, she began to have some doubts about the dream.

She's even questioning the world.

Worried about her mental state, she dared not let herself be too tense.

No matter what, she will cry, she will feel pain, the sun will rise, and life will go on.

This world is real.

As for the rest...

Other details still need to be verified one by one.

…………

I took three days off.

With military training now completely over, University A welcomed its new students for their opening ceremony.

This is the essence of a prestigious university.

Perhaps the dormitory environment isn't the best, and the teaching buildings are so old-fashioned that one might want to criticize them, but this kind of campus ceremony is handled with utmost care.

Several A-list celebrities were invited.

Many of the alumni who have already graduated and are now shining in various industries also came.

With all the leaders gathered, the University A newspaper and even external media set up their cameras and microphones.

The auditorium was packed with people, every seat was taken.

On stage, the freshmen are putting on a great show.

Originally, Tang Wanwan hadn't intended to join in the fun. When Jiang Yanzhi asked her last night, she said that she was just a spectator today.

As it turns out, the person is already backstage waiting to go on stage.

The reason is simple: Shi Minjia and her classmates filmed a traditional Chinese water sleeve dance.

There were about ten people playing instruments, singing, and dancing. The event was quite large, and the rehearsals went very well.

Unexpectedly, just now, less than half an hour before her performance, the girl playing the guzheng was so nervous that she wanted to pour herself a glass of water, but she accidentally knocked over a glass of boiling water next to her.

My hand was burned and blistered.

If something were to happen to other members, it would be easier to find someone to step in. However, the guzheng is not as widely used as other musical instruments, and in order to be unique, the piece to be played today is quite obscure. Where can we find someone to step in now?

Shi Minjia was the only one in their dorm who had a performance. Tang Wanwan, Song Xiaotong, and Gao Siyao came backstage to offer their congratulations and happened to run into this incident.

Tang Wanwan had seen the rehearsal before, and Shi Minjia knew that she could play the guzheng. She was sweating profusely with anxiety, and seeing Tang Wanwan was like seeing a savior.

He was called upon to help in a time of crisis.

Tang Wanwan was forced into this situation and was asked to step in and save the day.

The show featured a dozen or so people, each with their own unique costumes.

The dance costume was a long blue and white dress, which perfectly matched the blue and white porcelain theme of the program.

The girl singing was dressed in a slightly brighter color, making her easily noticeable in the crowd.

Tang Wanwan, who plays the zither, is dressed in a style reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty.

Inside was a strapless long dress, layers of light gauze reaching her ankles with a natural drape, and on the outside was a plain-colored wide-sleeved outer garment, revealing her shoulders, neck, collarbone, and even a large expanse of fair skin on her chest.

Her waist-length hair was pulled up and styled into a bun, adorned with a pearl hairpin, and her earrings were very long.

Time was tight, and there was no time to put on makeup. Fortunately, she had a really good complexion, and even after more than twenty days of military training, she didn't get tanned. She didn't need to apply any powder at all, and her skin was dazzlingly white.

Finally, they simply placed a red mole on her forehead and applied lipstick, and that was it.

After dressing up, she looked completely different.

With her exquisite features and shimmering eyes, she stood there like a beauty straight out of the Tang Dynasty palace.

The backstage area fell silent for a moment, all eyes turning to her in amazement.
