Chapter 34: Day 34 of Transmigrating into an Object Part 2

After struggling all night, nearly discorporating, the mission had still failed.

One last day remained. Strictly speaking, less than 24 hours. They had to work during the day. By the time they got back at night, there wouldn’t be much time left. There was absolutely no way to listen until the battery died.

Even if she made Shen Wenyi take the earbud out right now and listened until it died, it would be useless. The mission required continuous use from full charge until the battery died.

Two conditions: first, fully charged; second, continuous use until power off.

It was over. She didn’t even have the Random Item Dice right now. She could only wait to die.

Thankfully, the earbuds had broken down fast. She probably wouldn’t have to suffer too long before being freed.

Wait, Jiang Shiyang, how can you give up before the very last moment? This doesn’t fit your personality of not shedding tears until you see the coffin!

If tomorrow night wasn’t enough time, what about during the day?!

Shen Wenyi had been bringing the earbuds to the Film Crew these past days. She just had to find a way to make Shen Wenyi use them continuously.

Although filming during the day made wearing one earbud unlikely, there were always ways to think of.

Shen Wenyi’s voice came through the receiver: “What exactly do you want, asking all these questions?”

She cleared her throat. In just a few seconds, myriad thoughts raced through her mind.

She said: “It’s nothing, really. My earbuds are dead, so I just wanted to borrow yours. But yours are dead too, so forget it.”

Shen Wenyi said: “Borrowing earbuds in the middle of the night? Aren’t you alone in your room? Why do you absolutely need earbuds?”

Shen Wenyi, weren’t you crying? So heartbroken, yet you have the focus to notice these details?!

She racked her brain, making something up: “Who said I’m alone in my room? Little Xie is here too. I was afraid of disturbing her.”

Little Xie was a woman, and she was also a woman. They were both women anyway. Little Xie was her assistant, so sleeping in the same room at night was completely normal. Totally normal.

Shen Wenyi took a breath and said: “It seems you and your assistant have a good relationship, sharing a bed just because you’re bored. Right, you could even share a bed with me, let alone your own assistant.”

Why did that sound so strange?

Shen Wenyi, do you really like me?

Could you stop constantly throwing evidence at me?

Don’t you know this only gives me more certainty? If I find out you really like me, you’re done for, you know that? Fall into my hands, what good could possibly come of it for you?

She said: “Little Xie watched a horror movie tonight. She was too scared to sleep, so she came to me for help. Could I just kick her out?”

Shen Wenyi said: “Do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”

A sudden flash of inspiration struck her. “There is something.”

Shen Wenyi said: “What is it? Say it quickly, I’m tired.”

She said: “It’s hard to explain in a few words, and Little Xie is here. It’s inconvenient. I’ll come find you.”

A moment of panic flickered in Shen Wenyi’s voice: “Don’t come. I won’t open the door for you. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow.”

She said: “This is very important!”

Shen Wenyi said: “No matter how important, it can wait until tomorrow! Hanging up.”

Seeing Shen Wenyi about to hang up, she said rapidly: “That thing in the car! The dashcam in my car has dual cameras. It’s connected to someone else’s phone!”

Before she finished, the call was already disconnected.

Mother of— She hung up so fast!

It seemed she’d have to wait until tomorrow. If she didn’t succeed, she’d just be earbuds.

She sighed, struggling to get up. Having no sense of touch felt incredibly strange. Touching anything felt like touching nothing. She couldn’t feel the blanket, couldn’t feel the pillow. Even when her own hand touched herself, she felt nothing, as if everything didn’t exist.

She shuffled into the bathroom and washed her face. She couldn’t even feel the water.

Tch.

Since she was already in the bathroom, she might as well relieve herself.

She shuffled over to the toilet. She couldn’t even feel for her pants; she had to look down and see. Truly… an indescribable feeling. A rare life experience, she supposed.

Sitting on the toilet, she couldn’t even feel if she had gone or not. Thankfully, she could listen to the sound.

She’d have to be extra careful filming tomorrow like this. Feeling nothing made mistakes easy.

She pulled a piece of toilet paper. Couldn’t even feel the toilet paper to wipe.

She slowly stood up, looking down to barely get her pants back in place, then went to the sink to wash her hands. After washing, she went back to bed to sleep. Her phone suddenly rang.

Who could it be at this hour?

She yawned and picked up the phone. Shen Wenyi?

She raised an eyebrow and answered the call. Shen Wenyi’s voice came through, now restored to calm.

“Come over and talk.”

After saying that, the call directly hung up.

She looked at the phone screen, which had already jumped back to the home page, her dark pupils narrowing.

Just a moment ago, she had refused so resolutely. Why would she suddenly call back and tell her to come over?

Could it be…

A guess formed in her mind, but it seemed a bit unbelievable. This was completely different from the Shen Wenyi she usually knew.

Whether she guessed right or not, she’d find out when she saw Shen Wenyi.

She pressed her lips together, grabbed her phone, hugged her pillow and blanket, and opened the door to go to Shen Wenyi’s room.

Shen Wenyi’s door was left slightly ajar, left open for her. She pushed the door open and saw at a glance that the pajamas Shen Wenyi was wearing were different from before.

The Bluetooth Earbuds were both shut inside the Charging Case, essentially scrap. The Charging Case was pitch black; she couldn’t see anything. If she hadn’t come in person, she would never have known that Shen Wenyi had specifically changed her pajamas.

If she changed her pajamas, then the Underwear…

Her gaze circled Shen Wenyi’s waist and hips before she casually looked away. A secret delight bubbled in her heart, the kind of furtive joy that came from being the only one who had discovered a secret.

As expected, Shen Wenyi had taken so long to call back. She really had been secretly tidying herself up.

She grew more and more convinced that Shen Wenyi liked her. Manipulating Shen Wenyi was just a matter of time.

Of course, without conclusive evidence, she wouldn’t act rashly.

Besides, it wasn’t certain whether she could complete the Bluetooth Earbud mission. Maybe she wouldn’t even have the chance to manipulate Shen Wenyi at all.

Shen Wenyi looked at her holding the pillow and blanket and furrowed her brows.

“What are you carrying those for?”

She said with a serious face: “Little Xie snores when she sleeps. Otherwise, why do you think I was asking you for earbuds? Because her snoring was so loud I really couldn’t sleep.”

Shen Wenyi still had her brows furrowed. It was hard to say if she believed her or not. In any case, her face was full of rejection.

Isn’t it said that you like me? I come over on my own initiative, and you’re still so unhappy? What’s that supposed to mean?

Or… did I guess wrong? Is Shen Wenyi just a Homosexual, but doesn’t actually like me?

This question couldn’t be figured out in a short time. She walked straight over to the sleeping spot from last time, holding her pillow and blanket, and arranged them exactly as before.

“Trouble you to let me stay the night. There aren’t many hours left anyway. It’ll be quick.”

Shen Wenyi looked at her, her expression filled with inquiry, unlike her usual ability to manage a fake smile with her.

Shen Wenyi said: “You tricked me into opening the door. Why?”

Shen Wenyi couldn’t have guessed something, could she? Her bringing up Bluetooth Earbuds in the middle of the night was indeed quite suspicious!

She said: “I really do have something important. I’m not lying to you. If Sister Li hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have even noticed the dashcam.”

Shen Wenyi still looked at her with inquiry, though her tone softened slightly. “You said the phone was connected to someone else. Was it Sister Li?”

She nodded: “Yes, it was Sister Li.”

Shen Wenyi said: “Isn’t Sister Li your agent? Even if she saw something or heard something, she wouldn’t tell anyone.”

She said: “That’s true, but Sister Li warned me to keep my distance from you.”

Shen Wenyi lowered her eyes. When she raised them again, her expression was very calm.

Shen Wenyi said: “Since your agent told you to stay away from me, why are you still clinging to me here?”

She directly lifted the blanket and lay down, even adjusting the pillow, pretending to make herself comfortable, though in reality, she couldn’t feel anything at all.

She lay down properly, pulled the blanket up, and closed her eyes: “I told you, Little Xie’s snoring is earth-shaking. I really can’t take it. Considering I was nearly scolded to death by my agent, do a good deed and just let me stay one night.”

Seeing that she was already lying down, making it impossible to chase her out, Shen Wenyi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Probably angered by her to the point of having no temper left, she turned around and also pulled back the blanket to get into bed.

Click. The light went out.

In the dimness, Shen Wenyi said: “You’ve lied to me again. I’ll remember this.”

She laughed: “Then what do you want to do? Trick me back? Sure, I’ll wait for you to trick me! Go ahead, as many times as you want.”

Shen Wenyi said speechlessly: “How can you be so shameless? I should really let your fans see this.”

She said: “That depends on the person. I’m not like this with others.”

Shen Wenyi said: “Why are you like this with me? Am I that hateful to you?”

She said: “So sleepy. Let’s sleep.”

Only after sleeping could she get down to business.
