Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 137 - 132: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
Chapter 137: Chapter 132: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
"Hi everyone, I’m back!" Lian Lan pushed open the dormitory door, her style even more fashionable after a month apart, and her smile more confident.
"Well, look who it is, our rare visitor! You’ve practically disappeared for a whole month." Liu Qingqing’s desk was near the door, and she jumped in fright, messing up her eyeliner, her words naturally not very polite.
As if she hadn’t heard her, Lian Lan struck up a conversation: "Are you the only one in the dorm? Where are Ye Zi and Lu Lu?"
"They went out to eat."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear—before Liu Qingqing’s words had settled, Ye Qiu and Cao Lu returned to the dorm together.
Cao Lu’s first concern was always Liu Qingqing: "Hey, still doing your makeup? I just saw the rich second generation waiting for you downstairs!"
"What’s wrong with a ’big man’ waiting?" Although Liu Qingqing said this smoothly, her makeup touch-up sped up significantly.
"Ye Zi, Lu Lu, I’m back." Lian Lan felt uncomfortable not being the center of attention immediately, tossing her hair with a confident smile.
Ye Qiu was always the one to talk less and just nodded her head. Lian Lan was waiting for Cao Lu’s praise, but all she heard was: "Lanlan, you’re finally back. Do you have any idea how many classes you’ve missed? Master Tan called your name again today."
"Really?" Lian Lan’s smile instantly stiffened on her face, "Didn’t I formally request leave with the counselor? Why would she still call my name?"
"You know what Master Tan’s like," Cao Lu shrugged and continued, "You’ve finished your filming, right? Catch up on the missed work and submit a leave request, there shouldn’t be any major issues."
"The filming isn’t finished yet. I have to go to the set again tomorrow," Lian Lan said unconcernedly, frowning slightly, "Forget it, let her mark it if she wants, the worst-case scenario is a makeup exam."
Cao Lu frowned in disapproval, Liu Qingqing’s eyeliner application paused momentarily, then as if she hadn’t heard a thing, she continued on with her makeup.
"But..."
"Ah, it’s okay, Lu Lu, I know my own business, there won’t be any problems," Lian Lan said with a smile, seemingly unworried, "The film crew is really busy, and this time I specially asked for leave for Ye Zi to help, you know?"
"What’s up?" Ye Qiu asked without expression.
"It’s like this, we’re missing a token of affection for the male and female leads in our drama. The novel describes it as a jade pendant shaped like a leaf, and I remembered Ye Zi just so happens to have one, so I thought of borrowing it."
"Lian Lan, that was Ye Zi’s late grandfather’s keepsake left to her," Liu Qingqing spoke flatly, but Lian Lan didn’t notice the change in the way she addressed her.
"I know." Lian Lan kept smiling, appearing sincere as she looked at Ye Qiu, "Ye Zi, don’t worry, I will take good care of the jade pendant. It’s just for one day, and I will return it to you tomorrow night."
Seeing Ye Qiu still silent, neither Liu Qingqing nor Cao Lu spoke up for her. Lian Lan’s expression instantly turned pitiful, clutching Ye Qiu’s hand, her mouth cooing, "Please please, I’ve already assured the film crew, Ye Zi, we’re best friends, you wouldn’t leave me hanging, right?"
Liu Qingqing turned her head away, a trace of mockery flashing in her eyes. How different was this from coercion? If Lian Lan really considered herself a good friend, she wouldn’t have agreed to the drama crew’s unreasonable demand. And how would the film crew know about Ye Zi’s jade pendant if not for her mentioning it? Liu Qingqing didn’t believe the film couldn’t go on without Ye Zi’s jade pendant.
Cao Lu watched Lian Lan quietly, feeling as if she barely recognized her after just a month apart.
Seeing Ye Qiu still silent, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in difficulty, Lian Lan inwardly seethed with frustration, yet her eyes pleaded: "Ye Zi... please, I’m just a newcomer, if I can’t handle this small thing the crew will definitely laugh at me."
Seeing her like this, Ye Qiuqing let out a sigh, seemingly reluctantly took off the Jade Pendant from her neck, and placed it solemnly in Lian Lan’s hand, earnestly instructing: "This Jade Pendant is really important to me, if you use it, you must remember to bring it back."
"There, there, I’ll definitely watch it without blinking and bring it back to you in one piece," Lian Lan quickly put the Jade Pendant into her bag and then smiled at the three of them, "I’ll head back first then, remember to speak well of me in front of the teacher, okay?"
"Who would have thought that in just one month, her acting skills have reached perfection, it seems the drama club hasn’t been for nothing," Liu Qingqing sneered, watching the swaying dorm door and shook her head.
But Lian Lan, who had just walked down to the base of the dormitory building, smiled excitedly. She had finally gotten her hands on the Jade Pendant.
She had always suspected there was something odd about this Jade Pendant, as she kept dreaming of a strange place this past month, where there was a spring and a piece of bare earth. It seemed as if a voice was telling her that drinking the water would make her pretty and smart.
After pondering for several days, Lian Lan thought that the most unusual thing from her past life to this one must be the changes in Ye Qiu, and wondered if the Jade Pendant had anything to do with her recent transformations?
After much thought, Lian Lan decided that it was still worth a shot, even though she felt somewhat guilty towards Ye Qiu, she didn’t want to return the Jade Pendant anymore. Worst case scenario, she could just compensate with money after getting her film salary.
Although the Jade Pendant was left by Ye Qiu’s late grandfather, if one really wanted to cherish someone, she felt there was no need to rely on an object—keeping the memory in one’s heart would suffice.
Ye Qiu, who had given away a fake Jade Pendant, laughed mockingly. She wanted to see how Lian Lan would face her the day after tomorrow.
"No reaction?" A drop of fresh blood slid off the Jade Pendant, making Lian Lan both nervous and excited.
Could it really be necessary to smash it?
Since it wasn’t her own property, she wasn’t heartbroken. Lian Lan harshly smashed the Jade Pendant on the ground, then quickly brought her still-bleeding finger to it.
Lian Lan waited anxiously, but one minute passed, then five minutes... a quarter of an hour went by, and still the Jade Pendant did not react at all.
Impossible!
Sweat began to form on Lian Lan’s anxious brow. It shouldn’t be, why didn’t it match her premonition?
She nervously gathered the fragments together, dropping blood on them one by one.
But the outcome was destined to disappoint her—no change occurred even after smashing the Jade Pendant into tiny pieces.
Could she have really guessed wrong?
Lian Lan slumped to the ground, thinking about how she hadn’t obtained the space from her dreams and now had to pay a large sum of money, which immediately made her heartache terribly.
She had inquired before; for this kind of Ice Species Jade, the price starts at least at a hundred thousand. As a newcomer, even for the role of the second female lead, her salary for this movie was not high, only sixty thousand.
Did she really have to be in debt?
Lian Lan didn’t want to owe anyone money, least of all Ye Qiu, but at this point, she had no other choice.
However, they were supposed to be best friends at this time. Ye Qiu wouldn’t blame her, right? When the time came, she just had to apologize sincerely.free𝑤ebnovel.com
