Ning Zhi summoned Overlord. "You said my halo was the female lead's target. What happens if I collect little sun to get my halo back and the female lead takes them back again? I will be doing a lot of work for nothing."
Overlord explained quickly: [Lin Tiantian will not be able to take the halo that you get back from exchanging little suns.]
Ning Zhi, "If Lin Tiantian cannot take my halo back, will she switch to a different target and harm others?"
[Lin Tiantian had only one shot at picking a target. She had picked you. She will not be able to swap to a different target.]
Ning Zhi didn't even want to dignify that with a comment. "Will Lu Jue be negatively impacted as I collect little suns from him?"
Ning Zhi would not claim that she was a kind person but neither did she want to hurt others for her own benefit like Lin Tiantian had done.
Overlord replied seriously: [Collecting little suns would not harm Lu Jue. In fact, it will help him greatly in the future.]
Ning Zhi felt better finally.
"Xiao Zhi, I heard that Lu Jue had another episode this afternoon. Are you alright?" asked Lin Tiantian as she studied Ning Zhi.
She had taken the last of the halo from Ning Zhi today. She could tell that Ning Zhi's skin was no longer shiny and she looked yellowish. Even her once beautiful dark eyes had lost their brightness.
Her beauty, on the other hand, had moved up another notch. Even her skin had become smoother and more delicate. She was the envy of others.
These all belonged to Ning Zhi in the past. She recalled how much she had wanted to become the shiny Ning Zhi in her dreams. Nevertheless, there was nothing she could do other than being envious and dissatisfied privately. Now things were different. She had become the envy of others.
Lin Tiantian was happy and it showed on her look. Her face glowed even more.
Ning Zhi couldn't stand her. Her tone was very nonchalant. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Lin Tiantian gave her an I-understand look. "Xiao Zhi, I know it's rough for you. You can always come and talk to me about your problems at night."
Ning Zhi had always gone over to gripe to Lin Tiantian about how much she disliked Lu Jue and how difficult her life at the Lu family was.
Ning Zhi found that laughable. Was that how Lin Tiantian wood the original owner into thinking of her like a sister of hers and her trusted confidante?
Ning Zhi asked Overlord once again. "How does Lin Tiantian take my halo?"
Overlord: [Host is so smart. Did you see that necklace that she is wearing? It helped Lin Tiantian absorb the halo from you. The worse off you are, the more unhappy, the more it could absorb your halo.]
Ning Zhi looked over at Lin Tiantian. She had a pendant with a red string around her neck. It didn't go well with the rest of her outfit at all. On the red string was a warm and smooth white lotus. That was probably what Overlord was referring to.
Overlord's milky voice was very prideful: [Not to worry, Host. As soon as you get all of your halo back and her jade, lacking the nutrients from the halo, would crack on its own.]
Ning Zhi's lips curved upward, "Sweet."
After dinner, Lin Tiantian wanted to chat with Ning Zhi. "Xiao Zhi, I don't have any work tomorrow and have a lot of free time tonight. Is there anything you would like to talk to me about?"
She loved listening to Ning Zhi gripe.
"You and I don't have that much to talk about." Ning Zhi couldn't be bothered to engage with her. She went back inside their room with Lu Jue.
It got later into the night.
Ning Zhi moved her pillow from the couch onto the large bed. Original owner resented Lu Jue and never slept on the same bed as him. She opted to sleep on the couch instead.
Lying on the plain and grey large bed, Ning Zhi didn't want to sleep on the couch every night like original owner did.
She was from a well-off family before she had transmigrated and was coddled since she was a child. She couldn't make herself sleep on the couch. Besides, the little fool didn't even want to talk to her or look at her. She didn't have to worry about him making a move on her at all.
All of a sudden, the room to the bathroom opened up and Lu Jue walked out in his bright red pajamas.
Ning Zhi's eyes lit up.
Lu Jue's skin were cold and fair. He was handsome, slender, and tall. He looked like an attractive demon in his bright red silk pajama.
"You have finished showering?"
Ning Zhi had just started talking when she saw that Lu Jue had already walked over to the bed.
Looking at his large bed that had been invaded, his handsome face was taut, his lips shut tight. He looked straight at her and, in the indicator above his head, one black cloud appeared one after another. Each of them came with their own lightning.
He was angry.
