Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

After muttering to herself for a while, Xiaoqing took the water glass.

As innocent as Xiaoqing was, she suddenly felt a little sorry for Miss Yu in front of her.

in fact……

Even if I send this over, Sister Gu won't drink it.

She seems so enthusiastic and sincere; what if I ask her to pour the tea into the toilet again?

It's hard.

"I understand. I will pass your message on to Sister Gu."

"Thank you."

"No need, no need."

Yu Ci sat down after Xiao Qing had walked away.

He called out the system.

"Lily, aren't you always the one to jump in and offer suggestions? Why are you so quiet this time?"

[Emm, I only appeared in the last world because it was a beginner's quest. This world... even a level one world has its challenges. As a regular AI system, I won't just appear without a request from the host.]

"..."

"Then I request that you appear; I have something I'd like to ask you."

【What is it (*?▽?*), host, please speak!】

"What should we do with a goddess like Gu Qiushui?"

Yu Ci was truly at his wit's end.

She had tried every trick in her impoverished mind, but after several months, Gu Qiushui was still Gu Qiushui, still the same Gu Qiushui who seemed gentle but was distant, who seemed like a spring breeze but always kept her distance.

[Miss Yu Ci, why did you ask me such a difficult question right from the start?]

The system needs some time to process your request before it can provide an answer.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard what the trash system said.

Yu Ci, engrossed in figuring out why he wasn't making any progress, was unaware that Gu Qiushui's feelings for her had already—

Chapter 50 System: I've got an idea! You can offer yourself up!

On the other end, Gu Qiushui watched as Xiaoqing returned from playing with milk tea, holding a cup in her hand—a cup that seemed somewhat familiar—and her heart began to flutter slightly.

"What is this?"

“Hmm.” Xiaoqing thought for a moment, “Well, here’s what happened. When I delivered the milk tea, Miss Yu… Miss Yu said that you posted on Weibo that you weren’t feeling well these past few days and it wasn’t suitable for you to drink anything cold, so she gave me this cup.”

"I didn't open it, but I'm guessing it's ginger tea or jujube tea?"

Oh.

"Put it down for now."

Gu Qiushui stared at the porcelain-white cup, somewhat lost in thought.

Xiaoqing saw that Gu Qiushui had finished her meal, paused, and said, "Sister Gu, when are you going to return the cup this time?" She was asking very subtly when she was going to empty the cup.

But to my surprise, Gu Qiushui pondered for a moment and said, "Later."

"Oh, okay, then Sister Gu, I'll go eat now!"

"Go."

Xiaoqing, who had just returned from eating a boxed lunch, happened to see Gu Qiushui drinking brown sugar ginger tea.

The strong aroma of ginger and the slightly hot tea caused Xiaoqing to see patches of red appear on Gu Qiushui's face.

She was very surprised.

After all, the past—

"Would you dare drink the water on set? Can you guarantee there's nothing in it?"

'Your face is very important; eating the wrong things will ruin your skin?'

'Don't think so highly of people. When it really comes down to fighting, people will use any means necessary.'

Hmm?

So, people can be wicked. Why did you drink someone else's beverage, Sister Gu?

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Gu Qiushui put down her cup and looked up. "It's creepy."

"No, Sister Gu, why are you—" Xiaoqing gestured, giving various hints.

Gu Qiushui glanced at her and gently placed the cup in her hand on the chair. "I wasn't feeling well just now, so I drank it. What's wrong?"

"fine."

I just find it incredible.

Having accompanied Gu Qiushui all this way, Xiaoqing knew that despite appearing more amiable than anyone else, Gu Qiushui was the most unapproachable person inside.

Over the years, I've never seen her make an exception for anyone or anything.

Although this time it was just a small glass of water.

Only.

The cup wasn't big; after a few sips while tilting my head back, it was empty.

"There are no more scenes this afternoon, so let's return the cup to her now."

“Then…” Gu Qiushui thought for a moment, “tell her that ginger tea is delicious, doesn’t have a strong ginger flavor, and is very good for dispelling cold.”

"oh oh."

Still reeling from the shock, Xiaoqing, somewhat dazed, carried her water bottle to the logistics department. As she walked, she sensed something was amiss.

What the hell?

When will our artists be able to remember the appearances of everyone except the male lead?

subtle.

When I received the returned water cup, my expression was just as subtle.

Drink, are you done drinking?

They even left a comment: "It tastes pretty good?"

She looked at Xiaoqing, trying to glean something from her face, but the assistant was a seasoned veteran and couldn't discern anything.

In the end, all she could say was softly, "I'm glad Sister Qiu likes it."

-

There were no scenes to film in the afternoon, so Yu Ci didn't stay on set for long. After waiting for a while, she said goodbye to the director and went back to her room.

Lying on the slightly hard sofa in the room, she thought about what had happened at noon that day, and vaguely felt that the current situation was probably not as bad as she had imagined?

She began to examine Gu Qiushui's attitude towards her from every angle and detail, and as she thought about it, she also sensed a subtle difference.

Just as she was recalling the details, the damn system suddenly started making a whirring noise.

"..."

"what happened?"

[My lovely host, I'm back!]

"And then?" Yu Ci didn't want to hear the system's cheerful voice. She was already so stressed, and this stupid system was so happy? It felt ironic no matter how she thought about it.

[It was me. I created a data table analysis based on the question you raised this morning. After completing all the analyses, I've come up with the final, best approach. If you implement it, I guarantee the movie queen will treat you like a gentle spring breeze, tender and affectionate.]

"Okay, stop describing it and just tell me the plan."

【Okay ヽ(￣▽￣)? Have you heard of unspoken rules?】

The topic suddenly shifted, and Yu Ci didn't react in time. "What the heck?"

Isn't the entertainment industry rife with unspoken rules? This award-winning actress is in a high position, and you're quite beautiful, so why don't you just offer yourself up?

Yu Ci, who thought the system was about to come up with some brilliant solution: ? ? ?

"Dedication?"

Yes, based on my analysis, in all these worlds, the probability of a lower-ranking protagonist dedicating themselves to a higher-ranking protagonist and the two ending up together is as high as 99.99%! You can choose to take the script to her room upstairs late at night, or you can choose to slip her a room key while filming—

"Okay, you can stop now."

【What's wrong?】

"It's nothing." She was just stupid; why would she ask a system that had read too many idiotic novels for help?

but……

He did indeed offer a suggestion that was somewhat worth considering.

He took the script and went to find the girl.

In any case, Gu Qiushui finally showed her a slight difference in attitude. As a 'fan', she couldn't appear in a messy or chaotic way.

However, as a newcomer in the same group, if she couldn't grasp certain scenes, she could indeed consult with Gu Qiushui, the veteran actor whose scenes were most closely related to hers, for advice.

It can be used to establish relationships, or it can be used as a test.

Look at the goddess... isn't she really treated differently?

It's true, asking about acting will only bring them closer.

fake……

Then I'll just hang myself from a tree in the southeast.

-

Gu Qiushui noticed that recently, Yu Ci's filming has been plagued by minor bugs.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what kind of bug it is, but you can see that there are quite a few flaws in the acting.
