The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 37

Chapter 37

The barrage is still lively, but in the room at this moment, Shen Xi feels a bit awkward. As an idol, he usually tries to maintain a distance from female celebrities, yet his first task on this show is to wake up a female star.

Unsurprisingly, his fans in the barrage are probably saying: “Ah, no way!”
“Shen Xi, not allowed!”

Fortunately, waking someone up can be straightforward. He cautiously approaches and tentatively calls out, “Teacher Wen?!”

Wen Yu frowns and turns over. Shen Xi twitches at the corner of his eye; this is indeed challenging.

After a moment’s thought, he takes another step forward, raising his voice: “Teacher Wen, get up for breakfast!”

As soon as he finishes speaking, the irritable Wen Yu suddenly sits up. In a weak, feminine voice, she asks, “What breakfast?”

With disheveled hair covering most of her face, and the dim hotel lighting casting shadows, her features are barely visible. It’s all just darkness.

At first glance, Shen Xi exclaims, “Ah ah ah!” but when she speaks, the scream turns into, “Ghost!”

Wen Yu: “?”

Shen Xi swiftly turns and runs, followed closely by the cameraman. Their panicked escape is quite ‘graceful.’

Meanwhile, the barrage, almost sharing the same perspective, is filled with exclamations: “!!!!”

“Ah ah ah”

“Help!”

Some resort to throwing their phones directly; any trace of drowsiness is gone, and some even regretted having a phone.

After the chaos settles, Shen Xi regains composure with the director’s reassurance.

“Too miserable, Wen Yu is so outrageous.”

“Angry, so angry…”

“Can we kick the vase out of the show!”

“…Am I the only one who finds it quite interesting? Isn’t variety about having fun?”

Listening to the director’s urging, Shen Xi clenches his teeth and opens the door again, but this time more cautiously: “Wen, Teacher Wen?”

His voice still trembles.

“In here~” Wen Yu has calmed down. Taking advantage of Shen Xi’s fear, she quickly freshens up. Hearing Shen Xi’s voice, she immediately responds with a smile, “Is it time for a task?”

Hearing her clear voice, Shen Xi gains courage to enter. He sees Wen Yu in loose short sleeves, her face bare, messy curls tied up, revealing a clean and beautiful face, completely devoid of the previous horror.

Everything seems like an illusion.

The barrage still appears bewildered: “Is this the same person as just now?”

“Just now: Don’t come! Now: Sister, I’m okay!!!”

“Wen Yu’s face is amazing, her senior sister is so pure and pretty!”

Most of the barrage has recovered, having not directly experienced the scare, but Shen Xi is still afraid.

He is uneasy: “Um… yes, we have a task and breakfast for you.” He hands over the breakfast he got from the director, “Once you finish eating, I’ll be fine…”

His hand trembles as he hands it over.

Apart from everything else, he really is scared of ghosts!

“Feel so sorry for the little brother, scared like this.”

“Xi Ge is really afraid of ghosts; in the haunted house before, he crawled out holding onto a teammate’s thigh.”

“Wen Yu is really something, scaring people like that all of a sudden. Was it intentional?”

“Annoying, Wen Yu, you shouldn’t have invited her】

【There are plenty of people in the entertainment industry. Now, Shen Xi probably can’t enjoy playing games properly today】

——

Wen Yu also noticed something off about Shen Xi; he couldn’t even look at her normally. She picked up her breakfast, eyes turning red, and sobbed, “Little brother, I’m sorry. Sister didn’t mean to scare you. It’s all my fault. You’re so handsome, and I still managed to scare you. Now you must be afraid of me, right?”

Shen Xi was surprised; he didn’t expect her to cry like this. Although he sensed something was wrong, he felt a bit panicked, immediately waving his hands, “No, no, Teacher Wen, I didn’t take it to heart. Don’t be like this…”

Wen Yu’s watery eyes looked over, “Really? I heard you’re a bit scared of ghosts. The way you looked just now seemed seriously frightened. Could it leave a psychological shadow?”

“How could it?!” Shen Xi immediately denied, regardless of the actual situation. In front of the girl, he was unwilling to appear weak, especially under Wen Yu’s gaze. He was a bit dizzy, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m very brave, and I have a good memory. I’ve already forgotten what happened just now!”

【Wen Yu looks really good. How could it be? Little brother is so brave; Wen Yu, don’t be afraid】

【She looks a bit good; this delicate appearance, like a pitiful little thing, makes me feel guilty】

【Hmm, why does it feel strange?】

【Did Wen Yu evolve into a green tea girl?】

【Could she be trying to seduce Shen Xi?】

【(Whispering) Actually, I find her like this quite entertaining】

【Tell a joke, Shen Xi: I’m very brave】

In the barrage discussion, after hearing Shen Xi’s assurance, Wen Yu smiled with relief, gently looking like she needed protection: “That’s good then; as long as little brother doesn’t blame me.”

Shen Xi became even more erratic, “No! When we play games later, I’ll help you; you can trust me.”

Wen Yu immediately restrained her expression, sitting down seriously, “Then I’ll start eating.”

Still immersed in the script where the fragile beauty relies on him for protection, Shen Xi: “?”

He didn’t react for a moment, his expression stunned. But the camera keenly captured it.

Suddenly, the barrage that was just pondering burst into laughter: 【Haha, this expression is so real】

【Shen Xi: Wait, is this a person?】

【Just a bit annoyed, suddenly changed, becoming a bit fond, women, quite interesting】

【Wen Yu made me laugh. I’m like Shen Xi, starting to feel guilty in case the beauty is upset】

【Help, do I have a problem? I actually find Wen Yu, a bit cute?】

【Wen Yu: White, pure flower? I’m pretending!】

Wen Yu opened the food box, two small steamed buns, half a bowl of vegetable porridge, and some snacks, quite abundant. She immediately began eating, not daring to waste time.

In fact, this scene didn’t exist in the book. At that time, when Wen Yu left the Jiang family, it was the worst period for the relationship between Su Lengyue and the Jiang family. They were having a disagreement, and the parents of the Jiang family hoped they would break up, so naturally, they wouldn’t say much.

After both parties had their respective scandals, Su Lengyue quickly forgave Jiang Yunjin under his apology.

Then they started their new career path again, followed by Zhao Qingyuan causing trouble, and after she went offline, it was Jiang Yunyan’s turn to have trouble…

Maybe it was because the time was getting closer, when Wen Yu remembered this time point, her heart tightened, and she repeated it again to avoid forgetting this important day and the plot that happened before and after.

Otherwise, if she missed this plot twist, Wen Yu would feel very uncomfortable.

But for now, what’s important is the variety show in front of her. While eating, Wen Yu also held the tablet and opened the drama “Becoming You” to watch. She had watched it last night, but now she was recording the program, so she had to find a way to advertise without being too abrupt.

As she did this, the camera immediately focused on her, allowing the audience behind the screen to see this scene.

[Wen Yu is eating quite deliciously.]

[This natural look is really nice.]

[What drama is this? It looks interesting.]

[This is “Accidentally Became You”! It’s super good!]

[Wen Yu is advertising, right? Hilarious, does she think she’s being natural?]

Wen Yu thought she was being natural, but nowadays, who doesn’t know these tricks? Shen Xi came to his senses and also smiled: “Teacher Wen, I’ve been watching ‘Accidentally Became You’ recently, it’s really good!”

Wen Yu immediately broke into a big smile: “Thank you!”

With a bright and beautiful smile, and being good-looking, Shen Xi was slightly stunned. Before he could take another look, Wen Yu lowered her head and continued eating.

The speed of her mood change was so fast that Shen Xi had to say: “Thank you for the invitation, experienced it twice, it’s as refreshing as summer weather.”

Barrage: [No, Wen Yu, did you learn Sichuan opera? Your face-changing skill is really strong.]

[Wen Yu: I’m grateful, but not much.]

[Haha, sorry, I really got to know Wen Yu in this short time. She’s good-looking, fun personality, and with this speed of face-changing, being with her must be never boring.]

[First time having a good impression of a green tea, hahaha]

—

Wen Yu quickly finished eating and burped lightly. Shen Xi also left after accomplishing his task, and the live camera then followed Wen Yu.

Wen Yu glanced at the mission card – [Please go to room 815 to wake up the next guest].

Just by looking at this room number, she understood.

This week’s director was quite interesting, the intention to stir things up was so obvious, without any concealment.

Wen Yu didn’t bother to tidy up and went straight over. Maybe she could finish it early and have a nap.

Meanwhile, the barrage was speculating: [Who is 815?]

[Why do I feel like Wen Yu’s expression suggests she knows?]

[Could it be Jiang Yunjin?]

[Stirring things up! Exciting!]

[Could it be that Wen Yu intentionally requested the production team to do this? Something will definitely happen later.]

[I heard Wen Yu has a strong background, so it’s very likely.]

Audiences enjoy the spectacle, while fans of Jiang Yunjin and Su Lengyue reluctantly watch. Warm Yulo’s few fans are caught in between, hesitant to speak up. With the addition of haters stirring the pot, the sparse barrage becomes lively.

On the other side, Wen Yu arrives at the door of room 815, a few rooms away. Using the room card provided by the production team, the director goes in first to ensure it’s okay, then signals for Warm Yulo to enter. Carrying a camera, Warm Yulo enters.

Indeed, in the dim light, Jiang Yunjin’s face is clearly visible, and in his sleep, he appears more animated than during the day. He seems to be wearing a tank top, exposing a large portion of his arms, resting on the blanket, sleeping soundly.

“She’s about to make a move!”

“Ah, ah, ah, Wen Yu, what are you doing?!”

The barrage becomes tense. Wen Yu walks to the bedside, approaching the person sleeping.

At this moment, almost everyone witnessing this holds their breath, watching nervously, some anticipating, others resisting. Behind the screen, someone gradually stops the treadmill, his sharp gaze fixed on the tablet, eyes slowly narrowing.

Until…

Wen Yu clears her throat and shouts, “Fire!”
A deafening scream. Headphone users are “dead” in place, and even those not using headphones are startled.

Only the man standing on the treadmill, after a moment of surprise in his eyes, smirks, glancing at the girl laughing uncontrollably in front of the camera, his eyes deepening.

Along with Wen Yu’s cry, Jiang Yunjin, who was sound asleep, quickly wakes up. In a panic, he tries to run, but still half-asleep, he collides with a staff member, rebounding against the wall.

“Duang!” The sound echoes as he holds his throbbing head, looking at the group in front of him in confusion. “What’s happening?”

At this moment, the barrage remains blank for a while, and people gradually comment:

“Oh my god, my phone fell and cracked on the ground.”

“My ears hurt; Wen Yu, that decibel level, amazing!”

“Darn, darn, scared me, heartbeat pounding…”

“My face hurts, got hit by the phone, sobbing.”

“Wen Yu, you owe me a screen protector! Crying, this cost me ten bucks.”

“Jiang Ge’s bewildered look is quite cute.”

“Jiang Ge: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?”

The staff suppresses laughter and explains to Jiang Yunjin, “This is a wake-up task, don’t worry, there’s no fire, there would be an alarm for that.”

Due to the angle, Jiang Yunjin, just rushing over, is unaware of the situation behind him, asking in confusion, “Wasn’t that an alarm just now? Such a loud sound! I heard it!”

“Red and fiery, trance-like.”

“Wen Yu You’re the alarm, you’re the alarm!”

“Wen Yu hiding behind is about to die laughing; help, this is definitely not how she shows affection.”

“Maybe she intentionally drew Jiang Yunjin’s attention; Wen Yu is quite skilled at playing the innocent girl.”

At this moment, in front of the camera, Jiang Yunjin, guided by the staff, sees the woman behind him laughing against the wall. He points at Wen Yu, trembling fingers, and says, “It’s you again!”

Wen Yu immediately restrains her smile, her expression turning dignified and cold in a second. Despite her lively eyes, with this restraint, they become calm and indifferent. She softly reprimands, “What’s with your attitude!”

Jiang Yunjin:?

After a brief confusion, he widens his eyes, his heart shaking as usual.She, she actually imitated Big Brother!Learning from the expert!

Jiang Yunjin refuses to admit he’s scared, pretending not to care about her. After all, she’s his sister-in-law. He clenches his teeth, withdraws his hand, and with a forced smile, says, “Fine, you win!”

Wen Yu elegantly smiles, wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt, harmonious in demeanor, but mismatched in attire. She maintains her persona, calmly saying, “As long as you know. Okay, let’s eat.”

Jiang Yunjin:…

He sighed, wearing a disgruntled expression, yet obediently took away breakfast and quickly started eating.

After finishing, she instinctively said, “I’m done.”

Wen Yu nodded reservedly, “Then, I’ll go.”

She waved and left swiftly. The camera subconsciously followed her, capturing her leaving Jiang Yunjin’s room. Immediately, the tension in her body relaxed. Still holding the microphone, her voice echoed, “So tired, so tired. Still over an hour left, can catch a quick nap.”

Everyone: [She’s already switched two personas? Delicate young lady and cool mature lady both seem good. Haha… I approve!]

[Sorry, Wen Yu. I admit I was a bit loud about you earlier. I believe you really don’t like Jiang Ge anymore.]

[Help, that look just now, I’m a bit shaken.]

[What about those who said Wen Yu would stick to him? Is this what you call sticking?]

[Really got Wen Yu, so fun and cute, hahaha.]

[Jiang Ge seems totally unsurprised by Wen Yu’s sudden change in attitude. Isn’t this a new character she deliberately cultivated for variety shows? Love it, love it, interesting!]

[I inexplicably feel that Jiang Ge seems a bit meek in front of Wen Yu. Is it just my illusion? What’s off about them? But I guarantee, there’s no hint of ambiguity between them.]

However, the anti-fans were stubborn, especially with some professional critics among them, and barrage comments emerged immediately: [Maybe Wen Yu restrained herself during filming. She might genuinely not like him, why get so close and call him?]

[I’m amazed, is this what you call good acting? Haven’t you watched a few dramas?]

Wen Yu’s fans also retorted: [Su Lengyue and Wen Yu have a good relationship, even helping with promotion. Don’t make baseless claims.]

[Su Lengyue is magnanimous, that’s her business. It has nothing to do with Wen Yu’s character!]

[You’ll see in this episode. I don’t believe Su Lengyue can get along well with Wen Yu without any resentment!]

[Come on, let’s bet. After this episode, do you think these two will exchange more than three sentences?]

At this moment, Wen Yu returned to her room and noticed her phone lighting up. Opening it, she saw a message from Jiang Yunyan: “Learning well.”

Subconsciously, Wen Yu raised a faint smile and replied: “What’s the reward?”

Casually mentioning it, she was accustomed to playful banter with Jiang’s mom and often received small gifts, like various snacks Jiang’s mom found troublesome to make.

After a brief wait with no immediate response, she lay back down, about to sleep. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Squinting, Wen Yu picked it up and glanced at the screen. Instantly, she sat up in shock.

On the phone, a line of text appeared: “Yes, I’ll send you a cruise. You and your friends can have fun on the cruise, exploring many exciting islands. The cruise is equipped with diving gear and everything you need. Just tell Xiao Chen what you want, and I’ll have him take care of it.”

Then, a business card was pushed over.

Wen Yu: “!!!”

Help! She couldn’t sleep now!
