Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

The 26th day of living together in the cabin was also the long-awaited night for confessions.

The cabin was unusually quiet today; all the tension and anticipation seemed to be hidden inside.

Feng Yueze woke up very early; to be more precise, he hadn't slept all night.

The location for the confession was arranged by the production team, but he designed the entire venue himself.

Although he had checked the setup of the venue several times in advance, and had arranged his outfit with a designer long ago, he had even drafted dozens of lines for his confession.

But I was just nervous.

"Beep."

Another message from the production team:

Before the final confession, the cabin will host a one-on-one chat, with each person having only ten minutes.

After the chat ends, please carefully consider and send the name of the person you have chosen to confess to to the program team.

A friendly reminder from the program team:

You'll only receive their real contact information if the confessions sent by both parties match.

Feng Yueze frowned as he looked at his phone. Didn't they say that sending the name would be enough? What was Su Yihan up to now?

He has been giving Lin Shuwan all sorts of warnings ever since he started pursuing her.

Fortunately, Su Yijun was helpful and found out a lot about Lin Shuwan's preferences. He was grateful for her suggestions on how to arrange the confession venue, although he had to pay a lot of money to get the information out of her.

Although it's not a big deal, I still feel a little regretful.

If he had known earlier that she and Lin Shuwan were best friends, and if he had known that he would fall for Su Yijun's sister's best friend, he wouldn't have stood by and watched when Su Yijun bullied her.

Hmm, I should have tried to please her sooner. Maybe if she were happy, she would have introduced Lin Shuwan to him back in high school. Why would I have to wait until now, with all these restrictions?

The male guests were each assigned to one of three small living rooms. Each room had two small sofas, flowers, and a small hourglass on the table.

The door opened, and Jiang Wei was the first to enter.

Feng Yueze withdrew his expectant gaze, greeted the hourglass with disappointment, casually turned the hourglass around, and then leaned back lazily on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the hourglass.

Jiang Wei always seemed a little reserved in front of Feng Yueze, sitting obediently in the corner furthest from him, looking down at her shoes as if trying to find something interesting about them.

Quiet.

"Swish."

Fine blue sand fell slowly, and you could almost hear the sound of it flowing.

The bottom of the glass has been flattened.

还剩下1/2，1/3，1/4……

Finally, all the quicksand settled.

Before the program's notification sounded, Jiang Wei stood up, seemingly too nervous. She bowed respectfully to him and quickly walked out, forgetting to close the door in her haste.

Feng Yueze looked up, his gaze fixed on the doorway once again.

Will she be next?

"Da da da."

No.

This time, it was Zhao Liluo who came in.

Greetings, turning the hourglass, waiting for time to pass.

Another agonizing ten minutes.

Next person.

Feng Yueze felt that this might be another unbearable ten minutes. He guessed that Su Yihan was doing something behind his back, deliberately trying to make him wait another 30 minutes.

I regret it again.

Feng Yueze propped his head up with both hands and scratched his hair in frustration.

"Are you not welcoming me?" Lin Shuwan knocked on the door and saw him slumped over, looking utterly dejected.

Feng Yueze looked up in surprise and stood up abruptly, rubbing his hands together unconsciously: "No, uh, I meant welcome, welcome."

Lin Shuwan sat down, and he sat down as well.

She laughed, and he laughed too.

"Isn't it supposed to be timed?" Lin Shuwan pointed to the hourglass.

"Oh yes."

Feng Yueze slowed down, turned the hourglass upside down, and looked at Lin Shuwan, unsure of what to say.

They'd already gone on three dates, but the thought of confessing his feelings that night suddenly made him nervous.

Neither of them spoke; they simply gazed at each other in silence.

After a long silence, Lin Shuwan spoke: "Actually, I only came to the cabin as a formality."

"Me too." Feng Yueze replied quickly, then realized something was off, "Um, I mean, I didn't expect you to be here, um, I didn't expect to see you here, just..."

Lin Shuwan was amused by his incoherent words and continued, "I originally just planned to go through the motions, but I'm very happy to meet you here. Thank you."

"Thank me?" Feng Yueze was momentarily confused. Su Yijun had repeatedly warned him that if someone said thank you, it meant they weren't interested in him. What should he do now? How should he respond?

"Yes, thank you. I'm very grateful to have met you here and spent these 26 days with you."

"Wait, this won't do. We can't be satisfied so easily." Feng Yueze placed his hands on his knees, leaning forward, as if he wanted to blurt out something, "I..."

"Ten minutes are up."

The production team announced that time was up.

Feng Yueze frowned. He hadn't even had a chance to speak yet; time had flown by too quickly. Seeing Lin Shuwan get up to leave, he hurriedly asked, "You'll ask the production team for my contact information, right?"

"Yes, I will," Lin Shuwan replied.

Feng Yueze immediately felt relieved and said, "Then, see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

……

At 7 p.m., there was a knock on Lin Shuwan's door. It was Su Yihan.

The door opened, and a look of amazement flashed in Su Yihan's eyes. She took her hand affectionately and said, "Someone asked me to pick you up and take you somewhere."

Lin Shuwan didn't ask who it was, nor did she need to: "Okay."

On the way, Su Yihan hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shuwan asked.

Su Yihan mustered her courage, worried that being too direct would provoke her rebellious side, so she could only hint at it indirectly:

"Wanwan, you know the fourth male lead before, right? He seemed polite and decent-looking, but I never expected him to be a playboy."

I did a lot of screening when I chose him as the male guest, but I still made a mistake. So, you have to get to know someone well to know if they're a good person or a bad one, right?

"Ah."

Seeing Lin Shuwan nod, Su Yihan seemed encouraged and continued, "Of course, there are too few male guests in our dating reality show, so compared to the fourth male guest, they all seem pretty good. They're the best among the worst."

"But there are plenty of good men out there, you don't necessarily have to pick one from a dating reality show."

"We certainly can't just agree to something because of a momentary impulse; we must think it through carefully."

"And although I'm the director of a variety show, I'm definitely not the kind of person who would sell out my best friend just for the sake of the show."

"Okay, Yihan, I understand what you mean." Lin Shuwan stopped and said, "But you also know whether he's that kind of person, right?"

Su Yihan nodded. If Feng Yueze was really the kind of womanizer, no matter how much money he spent, he wouldn't be able to get her to talk.

"Besides, he's someone I've been thinking about for a long time, and I want to give it a try," Lin Shuwan continued.

"Okay." Su Yihan nodded, and at the same time secretly made up her mind that if Feng Yueze treated her badly in the future, she would break them up immediately.

After leaving the small house and walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up.

Colorful lights were strung along the beach, creating a dazzling display. At the end of the lights was a large platform decorated with flowers and balloons.

Feng Yueze stood there, holding a bouquet of flowers, dressed in a suit and tie. He appeared visibly nervous when he saw Lin Shuwan arrive.

When Lin Shuwan walked up to him, he handed her the bouquet, steadied himself, and said, "I heard from Su Yihan that you like baby's breath, so I originally wanted to give you some, but I heard that the flower language of baby's breath is 'willing to play a supporting role,' which is not good, so I added roses instead."

Seeing that Lin Shuwan had taken it, he took a deep breath and continued:

"I want to ask you the same question I asked you when we were shopping at the supermarket that day. From now on, if you want to cook, I'll cook with you; if you want to do something exciting, I'll do it with you; I want to be there for you when you need me; I want to spend every ordinary yet extraordinary day with you. Will you be with me?"

Looking into his affectionate eyes, Lin Shuwan softly said, "I'm willing."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into his arms. The embrace was warm and reassuring.
