She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 89: The Innocent Superstar Is Not to Be Messed With (Finale)

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: The Innocent Superstar Is Not to Be Messed With (Finale)

Not long after the melodrama "Out of Control" finished airing, Ah Chen and Shi Wei received an invitation to join a reality show about couples.

They were supposed to be on a break and didn’t want to accept it, but their fans on both sides were calling for it fervently, so after understanding the situation of the show, they accepted it.

The program team came in the morning, and only Ah Chen was at home.

"Teacher Xiao Chen, isn’t Teacher Shi here?" the follow-up director asked. The two of them have always been very sweet, and the whole internet is shipping them. Even within the circle, they’re known for having an exceptionally good relationship. He hoped it wouldn’t crumble on the first day.

In fact, lots of celebrities who show off their love end up with scandals later on.

Honestly, he didn’t want these two to fall apart, because he ships them too. Just the thought of it made his heart sink.

This is a live reality show, even eye contact won’t work.

"Teacher Shi will be back soon," Ah Chen said, "You guys come in quickly."

The follow-up director felt nervous, mainly because he was afraid that the couple he shipped would crumble. But he had to be serious about his work. Once inside, he followed Ah Chen around to film, especially focusing on their bedroom and relaxation area, which were quite worth filming. They filmed and chatted along the way.

Occasionally, they would pick some questions from live-stream viewers for Ah Chen to answer.

About half an hour later, there was some noise by the door, just as the filming was finished. The program team members were sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

[Here he comes, here he comes.]

"Teacher Shi is back." Ah Chen stood up and quickly walked to the door, taking out the slippers from the shoe cabinet at the entrance.

She smiled warmly, "Teacher Shi, you must be tired. The program team was asking why you weren’t here."

She took the umbrella from Shi Wei’s hand, folded it up, and hung it aside.

The weather was hot, making it easy to get thirsty. She went to pour a cup of warm water and handed it to Shi Wei, whose eyes were gentle as he took it and drank. Carrying his things, he followed her into the kitchen.

[Uh, does anyone else think Du Chen is being a bit too submissive?]

[She’s bringing things over, saying ’you must be tired’, and pouring water... I don’t think I’d be okay with this interaction dynamic.]

[Yeah, it feels like she’s acting like a servant.]

Shi Wei went into the kitchen and set the groceries aside, spreading his hands open.

Ah Chen picked up an apron and helped him put it on, "Teacher Shi, make it a bit spicier today. I checked, they can all eat spicy food, no need to specially make non-spicy dishes."

Teacher Shi’s cooking skills were very good; she could eat more, especially the spicy stuff.

Shi Wei responded, "Okay."

"The crawfish today are really big. Going shopping in the morning, they’re indeed the freshest." He reminded Ah Chen, "You said you wanted some, so you gotta eat more later."

Shi Wei’s biggest worry was that Ah Chen couldn’t eat much, but fortunately, she hadn’t had any health issues over the years. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t rest easy.

She didn’t like sweet flavors, but later he discovered she quite liked spicy ones.

Initially, he wasn’t that good at cooking, but later, wanting her to eat more, his skills improved day by day. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[Hmm, nothing to worry about.]

[Hahaha, is anyone disappointed? These two are so affectionate, there’s no way they’ll crumble.]

[Truthfully, external perceptions can’t easily gauge the happiness between couples. The two people involved know best. Sometimes it’s best not to overanalyze.]

The follow-up director was relieved; so that’s how it was.

Wow, they went early in the morning to buy crawfish, and they really are big and lively.

They even prepared a portion for them, looking forward to it.

During the meal, viewers in the live stream were practically drooling, and the program staff were overjoyed. Shi Wei’s culinary skills are truly excellent, not any less than a restaurant’s. Everyone was eating eagerly, their mouths covered in oil, especially satisfied.

In contrast, Ah Chen ate the least, but Shi Wei was content; she ate more than usual today.

After the meal, Ah Chen went to get the apron again, personally putting it on Shi Wei, "Teacher Shi, you’ve worked hard."

[Hahaha, hardworking old-timer.]

[Old-timer doing this, what’s wrong with Chenchen being nice to him?]

They had a dishwasher at home, but still needed to tidy up the dishes and clean the kitchen.

Ah Chen watched on the side, occasionally passing him a cup of water, chatting with him, and offering praise. Even after being together all these years, Shi Wei was still a bit embarrassed by the compliments but also very motivated.

As long as she was around, he seemed to never feel tired.

"My little brother said he wants to come over later," Shi Wei sighed.

Even though the little brother was already in his teens, he still loved to hang out with Ah Chen.

Both he and Ah Chen had work, and on their rare day off, that little guy wanted to come over and be a third wheel.

Ah Chen chuckled, "Let him come then. He’s quite busy with his studies and won’t come often. I’ll order some desserts later; he loves those."

Shi Xiao, watching the live stream, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Exactly, he thought. Even though it’s my brother, he actually wants to hide his sister-in-law away.

What a stingy guy.

But sister-in-law is great; every time I go over, she’d have my favorite desserts prepared.

On the romance show, Ah Chen and Shi Wei’s interactions kept the fans well-fed.

After the show ended, the two took a break for a while and then dived back into work when they found suitable scripts. It wasn’t always the case that both were busy; whenever one was free, they would visit the set almost every day, sometimes even staying with the crew, occasionally making cameo appearances, which the director always welcomed. Both had their strengths, and sometimes just an opinion from one could add a highlight to the show or movie.

The life of an ordinary person is not long, but to Ah Chen, it felt surprisingly short.

In this life, Du Ya lived happily and peacefully, fulfilling the wish of the Commissioner.

Su Zefang had seven lives in his hands. Each case was revealed one by one over the years, but in the end, he couldn’t escape death.

The remaining assets of the Su Family were largely used to compensate the victims’ families.

On the day Du Ya passed away, Ah Chen stayed by her side, simultaneously removing all illusions.

Having met Fu You in this world, she was very thankful and wanted to give Du Ya and her daughter a chance to see if, without disguise, the other would come to their senses. If they did, it would prove their mother-daughter bond; if not, then it might as well end here.

Du Ya suddenly froze, staring at Ah Chen as if petrified, with tears quickly streaming down her face.

"My daughter is strong, but she will never truly let go of the past, never completely unbothered," Du Ya sobbed softly, "Why am I only realizing this now?"

Ah Chen held her hand: "Because she wants her mom to be happy and safe for a lifetime."

This was also her mission.

Now, a lifetime had already passed.

Du Ya cried out loud: "Waking up before dying, is this my punishment?"

"No, it’s a chance for you to renew your bond. Are you willing? If so, you’ll have to endure the hardships again, claw your way out from the abyss on your own. You won’t get any special abilities, only a set of memories. Everything else requires your own efforts. It will be painful and difficult for you. Your only fortune is having these memories to make some changes. For example, starting over and protecting her well."

"Will she still be her old self?" Du Ya asked.

Ah Chen smiled lightly: "Maybe others won’t be, but you two will definitely be your true selves."

Du Ya didn’t quite understand this, but she recognized her own daughter. She said without hesitation, "I am willing."

"Thank you."

She didn’t know who this girl was, but if she could make her return, she must be a god.

Ah Chen chuckled softly: "I’m grateful to you both too."

If it weren’t for this mission, she wouldn’t have encountered Fu You’s soul fragment.

In a universe with countless small worlds, if she deliberately searched, she never would’ve found it, so she was very grateful to them.

Even though it would consume a substantial amount of Merit Power to send them to meet again, she didn’t mind at all.

Du Ya’s body’s lifespan ended, and she closed her eyes with infinite hope.

Ah Chen released her hand: "May you be happy and blessed with your reunion."

[Host, Merit Power is difficult to accumulate.] 997 was astonished that Ah Chen spent so much Merit Power, making him feel distressed for her.

Ah Chen laughed: [It’s worth it.]

No matter how precious, it wasn’t of much use to her.

An immortal body, an undying soul; what use was more Merit Power?

Sigh, even if it was distressing, the host said this, so 997 had no words. The host had a lot of little secrets; just now, a significant amount of Merit Power was spent.

He decided to look for a newbie host instead. Recently, he had noticed two; he wondered if he could persuade, oops, sign them up.

Ah Chen walked out of the hospital room; Shi Wei was at the door. Both were already white-haired. He held her hand: "I will stay with you."

"Always?" Ah Chen asked.

Shi Wei: "Yes."

"When you die, give your soul to me, alright?"

Shi Wei answered without hesitation: "Okay, it’s all yours."

When Du Ya opened her eyes again, there was a small baby beside her. At a glance, she realized it wasn’t her daughter; they had been swapped.

She harbored no dislike or hatred for the baby; none of it was related to the child.

However, she had to go find her daughter.

And the nanny named Lv Caiyun probably wanted to know where her husband was; she would let her personally deliver her daughter to her hands. Whatever grudge Lv Caiyun had should be directed at the Su Family.

This hard-won life, she and her daughter would no longer have the misunderstandings of the past, nor would she let her daughter be harmed in the slightest. Her daughter would surely grow up under her careful protection, becoming a physically and mentally healthy person.

Years later, as Du Ya was cooking mushrooms at home, she suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Mom, I’m back! Did you miss me?"

Du Ya, smiling broadly, wiped her hands on her apron and walked out, suddenly being hugged by the little girl who ran over: "What’s for dinner? Can we have spicy chicken? Just now, the chicken that came back with me was actually following me. It must want to be cooked; we should fulfill its wish."

"Sure, we’ll have spicy chicken. Mom also thinks it’s quite suited to the pot." Du Ya laughed gently.

How adorable her daughter was.

A healthy, cheerful, and witty little girl.
