“Let’s go home.”
For a split second, Ye Xunshu thought of the story about the princess and the general.
“What are you dazing out for?” Seeing that she wasn’t responding, Fu Yi lowered her hand and scrutinized her. “Are you angry with me?”
Could it really be as Shen Yiyi said? Was this little rabbit jealous?
“I’m not angry,” Ye Xunshu snapped out of it, casting a soft gaze toward Fu Yi. “How could Xunshu be angry with Sister Fu Yi?”
During the time Fu Yi had gone to find Shen Yiyi, besides discussing business, she had also asked for advice on other matters.
For example, how to handle a delicate, soft Omega who was as fragile as glass.
Shen Yiyi told her that she had to keep her wits about her. She couldn’t just take words at face value; she had to be attentive.
Attentive.
Fu Yi prided herself on being quite attentive. She wasn’t in a hurry; she chewed on those words in her mind repeatedly until she finally deciphered the meaning behind Ye Xunshu’s words.
There was a saying in the upper world that summed it up perfectly: when a woman says no, she means yes.
Ye Xunshu said she wasn’t angry, which meant she was definitely, absolutely angry!
Fu Yi scratched the tip of her nose and cautiously reached out to tug at Ye Xunshu, softening her tone as much as possible. “Xunshu, shall we head back first?”
Sensing something unusual, Ye Xunshu: ” ”
She gave Fu Yi a strange look, wondering what kind of tricks she was up to now.
However, this wasn’t the first time she had seen Fu Yi act in a way that contradicted the rumors.
Gently and imperceptibly pulling her hand away from Fu Yi’s grasp, Ye Xunshu tilted her head slightly and walked ahead. “Then, Xunshu will walk in front. I haven’t been out in a long time, and I want to see if my ability to recognize the way has declined.”
Fu Yi caught up with Ye Xunshu and stole glances at her.
Ye Xunshu happened to look over as well, and their gazes inevitably crossed for a moment.
The next second, Ye Xunshu turned her head away.
Fu Yi rubbed her nose: ” ”
She’s unwilling to acknowledge me. She really is angry.
Actually, Ye Xunshu wasn’t angry.
She was ignoring Fu Yi entirely because the current Fu Yi was different from the one she had investigated before marrying into the family.
It had completely disrupted her plans.
On the day of the wedding, Fu Yi had personally fed her medicine. Ye Xunshu couldn’t resist and had essentially resigned herself to her fate. In the end, Fu Yi had merely endured the urge, bitten her gland once, and left it at that.
In fact, she could be said to have fled in a panic.
That was the first time Ye Xunshu felt something was off.
Later, Fu Yi became stranger and stranger, even saying things like “I don’t want to marry three wives and four concubines” and “I will only keep one rabbit.”
Ye Xunshu shook her head. Without realizing it, she had wandered into the backyard.
There were many empty rooms here used for storing miscellaneous items.
But at this very moment, Ye Xunshu heard Fu Yi’s voice.
Following the sound, she saw the faint flicker of candlelight inside one of the rooms.
“The command of parents and the words of matchmakers are feudal,”
Fu Yi’s voice drifted out from the room in fragments. Ye Xunshu approached and stopped outside the window.
Why was she here instead of returning to the room so late at night? What was she doing?
“We need… freedom of love,”
“Living with the person one truly likes is the only way to,”
“How can there be lasting love between two people who have never even met?”
Similar phrases drifted out from the room intermittently.
Ye Xunshu’s hand, which had been resting on the windowsill, dropped down: ” ”
Inside the room, Fu Yi knocked her head a few times in frustration. She leaned over the table in agony, grumbling at the water mirror in front of her.
Why was this so hard?
This thing was much harder to use than a smartphone.
She couldn’t even edit a video; she had to record it all in one go and release it all at once.
Fu Yi rested her chin on the table, staring at the video she had just recorded. Seeing her own awkward facial expressions, she felt like smashing the mirror.
She couldn’t remember how many times she had recorded this.
Ever since she discovered this magical device at Lin Wan and Fu Shen’s place, she had been quietly considering a new direction for development.
Since the civilization of the lower world was so backwards, why shouldn’t she start here and carve out a different path to earn money… silver?
Over the past few days, she had quietly gathered information through A-Ji. The Fu family dominated the Yangzhou cloth industry, but outside of Yangzhou, the cloth industry in other regions was also developing quite well, with many even surpassing the Fu family.
Fu Yi had a clear understanding of her own business abilities: she wasn’t cut out for it.
If the family business was passed down to her, whether she could keep it from going under was a question, let alone expanding it to support the entire Fu household.
Instead of inheriting the family industry, she had thought of a new path: the entertainment industry.
In the lower world, whether it was social interaction or entertainment, everything was stuck in a “primitive” and lagging society. If she could slowly introduce the civilization of the upper world and drive the development of the lower world’s culture in advance, this path should be very popular.
Moreover, the reason she transmigrated into “Fu Yi” was precisely because she was electrocuted while live-streaming in the upper world.
Compared to running a cloth business she knew nothing about, she at least had experience in the entertainment industry.
She had discussed this with Shen Yiyi today.
Unsurprisingly, the other woman had looked at her as if she were a fool.
After Fu Yi endured Shen Yiyi’s look of total disbelief and finished her explanation, the other’s attitude changed.
Although Shen Yiyi didn’t fully understand what on earth an “entertainment industry” was, she felt it sounded somewhat viable.
As “best brothers” who grew up together, Shen Yiyi ultimately agreed to help her.
After all, compared to Fu Yi asking her to help pick up some pure and sweet Omega, this was much more respectable.
However, they both simultaneously realized the same problem: there was no audience.
The entertainment industry was a novel concept to the people of the lower world, and since they were traditionally conservative, they might not accept new things so quickly.
Fu Yi said, “Promotion.”
Shen Yiyi was confused: “How do we promote it?”
Fu Yi pointed at the “monitor” on the table that Shen Yiyi was using to watch the employees work, smiled slightly, and said, “Water mirrors.”
…
Fu Yi had originally wanted to use the water mirror to record a video for promotion to build up some hype, but she never expected this thing to be so difficult to use.
The video had to be recorded in one take; there was no post-production editing.
She had revised those few short lines of dialogue several times, but she always felt something was missing.
She closed her eyes and scratched her neck, touching a rough spot and remembering it was the suppressor patch she had asked Ye Xunshu to help apply a few days ago.
That little rabbit, because of the temporary mark, should be sleeping by now.
Because she had to record this promotional video today, she hadn’t really comforted her after returning.
Fu Yi thought about it; she should probably go back and properly persuade her later.
At worst… didn’t that little rabbit like her quite a lot?
If she gave her a little kiss on the face, her anger would probably dissipate.
So in the end, she was the miserable one.
Not only did an Alpha have to take care of the family, but she also had to lose sleep late at night to secretly build a career and worry about work.
Fu Yi let out a yawn and scratched around the edges of the suppressor patch.
Since she was alone and the weather was hot, Fu Yi had tied her hair up high. Not only did she look more energetic than before, but it was also much cooler.
However, this meant the mosquitoes had another place to bite.
Fu Yi grumbled a bit, thinking that transmigration in this day and age really had no good ending. Those novels in the upper world where people reached the peak of their lives after transmigrating were all lies!
Look, she was so miserable that even mosquitoes dared to bully her.
And they specifically picked her neck to bite!
Fu Yi’s neck was already scratched red, but the slight itchiness didn’t decrease one bit. After a while, her arms also began to itch.
Fu Yi realized something was wrong and immediately pulled up her sleeves. Seeing the red spots on her arms, she quickly switched the water mirror back to its original mirror mode to check her neck.
Sure enough, there were the same small red dots.
She had been allergic to cat hair back in the upper world.
But this body belonged to the original “Fu Yi.”
Fu Yi felt this transmigration was absolutely ridiculous.
She put the water mirror back on the table, intending to find some medicine for the allergy. Unexpectedly, she accidentally bumped the water mirror, and it began to play the video she had just recorded.
[We should promote the freedom of love…]
Snap!
Just as the sound played, the door was suddenly and violently thrown open. Fu Yi looked up, shocked by Ye Xunshu’s sudden appearance.
Before she could react to what was happening, she heard the person opposite her shout with a voice hoarse from crying.
“Since Sister Fu Yi wants freedom of love, why do you say again and again that you will only marry Xunshu?!”
