Chapter 30

Transmigration Diary 30
Since Su Yan told her she accidentally made Cefalina think Wen Shiyu liked her—Charlotte somewhat broke.
Days watching Cefalina and Wen Shiyu heads together on one tablet—no room for Charlotte—
Anxiety and clawing dissatisfaction.
Today she snapped—several texts—secret strategy in Su Yan’s room NOW.
Wen Shiyu slipped in—Su Yan and Charlotte waiting.
Curtains tight—no lights—three on Su Yan’s bed whispering.
Charlotte all-in: “Normal methods failed—time for my darkest trick!”
Su Yan: “……Honest self-assessment.”
“Hmph—” to Wen Shiyu fast: “You two—pretend to cheat!”
“Huh?” almost loud—“What?”
“Think—Cefalina thinks you like her not power—to break that—show you don’t like her.
A real greedy villain wouldn’t fixate on one target—want everything—that’s lowest!”
Eyes wide.
Low enough.
“But Cefalina would be mad at Su Yan too—”
“Fine!” for Su Yan—“Su Yan won’t mind—right?”
Su Yan: “……”
Remember Cefalina hated the solo surf—did not want to drag Su Yan in.
“Not great—”
Charlotte pivoted: “Then pretend you’re forcing Su Yan—all your fault!”
More shock: “Huh?”
Force Su Yan?
Her?
Impossible.
Charlotte grinned: “Su Yan’s strong—but with someone she likes—obedient—won’t fight. Right Su Yan?”
Su Yan ears red in dark—looked away—“……What are you saying.”
“If Wen Shiyu pinned you—okay?” pressing.
Su Yan covered face—silent.
Charlotte guessed—years claiming Cefalina—never crossed lines—
A disciplined Alpha cannot stay gentleman forever with true love—
Maybe Su Yan is sub at heart—not classic AO—
Turned to Wen Shiyu triumphant: “See—she didn’t say no.”
Wen Shiyu: “……” Silence means nothing!
“What? You’ll block Cefalina’s recovery?”
Only sure—Cefalina would rage—but—
“I can’t really do anything with Su Yan—”
“At least pose! I’ll sneak…… video—expose you to Cefalina!”
Rethink—“No—you two can’t act—photos—static easier.”
Directed—Wen Shiyu and Su Yan stiff on bed—eye to eye—awkward water.
Charlotte at door—whisper commands: “Closer! Wen Shiyu angle—block Su Yan—
Take off jacket—pretend!
Su Yan why look at floor—look at Wen Shiyu—don’t freeze!”
Sweat—jacket off—leaned—arms braced not to touch—
Su Yan red—tense—did not know how—stared at Wen Shiyu focused because jacket off—
“Wen Shiyu? Su Yan? Charlotte?”
Cefalina in the hall—
Living room empty—found them—
Jolt—stood too fast—fell back—
“Careful.” Su Yan caught her arm.
Door pushed—Charlotte behind it—“ow”—fell on Wen Shiyu—
Three pile.
Cefalina in doorway—light—unreadable face.
“What are you doing…… lights off…… hiding here?”
Charlotte on Wen Shiyu not Su Yan—scramble—“Not what you think!”
“……What do I think?” Arms crossed—in—
“Hiding something?” cool tone.
Guilty stammer—plan dead on arrival—awkward.
“No secrets—we were…… telling ghost stories! Least scary tells one—loser strips!”
Silence.
Charlotte red at own lie.
Time stopped—Cefalina:
“Games…… why not call me?”
Walked in—sat between Su Yan and Wen Shiyu again.
“Whose turn?” chin up—scan three.
“……”
Secret meeting became four in the dark actually telling ghost stories.
Charlotte phone under chin—spooky light—inventing scares.
Wen Shiyu distracted—fingertip touch—
Su Yan across Cefalina—looking over her shoulder—face unclear—
Accident or message—why not pull away—
Plan continue or something else?
Cefalina stood.
“Su Yan—I want to talk alone.”
Both startled.
Su Yan not surprised—followed out.
Moon garden—waves faint—Cefalina turned:
“Su Yan—we’ve been friends since childhood—I never wronged you—right?”
“No.” Fast.
“Then why—” eyes hard—“always trying to take Wen Shiyu?
Many times you approached her—in the room I don’t know what—but I smelled a trace of your pheromones—because she was close?”
Su Yan looked down—almost followed Charlotte’s script—
“Cefalina…… I want to warn you—Wen Shiyu may not be as harmless as you think—don’t invest feeling—”
Cefalina frowned—Wen Shiyu’s scheming does not excuse Su Yan chasing her—
Weird—if Wen Shiyu is bad why chase?
Louder:
“I’ll judge my own affairs.”
“As my friend—keep distance from Wen Shiyu—basic courtesy—yes?”
Su Yan watched—accused of betrayal—script stuck—after silence stubborn:
“Cefalina—you won’t be with Wen Shiyu later anyway—
She’s not yours—is this fair?”
“She is mine now.” Instant.
“So after the baby—then okay?” Su Yan shot back.
Choked—“can” stuck—“Still no!”
Su Yan stiff: “That’s unreasonable.”
Cefalina bit lip.
“Su Yan—do you like Wen Shiyu?”
——
Window—Wen Shiyu and Charlotte straining—heard nothing.
Charlotte frantic—“What are they saying—plan dead—”
Wen Shiyu hesitated more—
Close contact—Su Yan’s behavior—slow Wen Shiyu realized—maybe a little fondness?
Cannot respond—chaos enough—no false hope—
Told Charlotte—won’t act with Su Yan.
“Then who—me?” point at self—“Not me?”
Try: “You’re Omega—maybe she’d believe I forced you?”
“What?” pout—“Smart me fooled by you?”
Wen Shiyu: “……”
They returned—Cefalina flat—low pressure—pulled Wen Shiyu up: “Come with me.”
Charlotte—“My story isn’t—”
“Busy with Wen Shiyu—no stories.” barely looked—gone.
Charlotte lost—“Cefalina lied.”
Said she hated Wen Shiyu—said forever favor her—
Su Yan quiet: “People change Charlotte—don’t clutch childhood.”
“Why change?” stung—“I didn’t!”
Three forever friends—Cefalina should prefer her—
Blame Wen Shiyu.
Desire for Cefalina to hate Wen Shiyu peaked—twisted—
If Wen Shiyu really hurt her—Cefalina would side with her?
Sudden would be fake—especially after tonight—
Unless……
Wen Shiyu really liked her—
——
Pulled to Cefalina’s room—door shut—released—pale eyes on her.
Guilty swallow.
“What did you and Su Yan say?”
Tried to take blame—“Actually I—”
“You?” cut—“Force Su Yan? Impossible.”
“……”
Told you!
Closer—straightened Wen Shiyu’s clothes—new topic low:
“You like hiding for ghost stories—I’ll tell one too.”
Head tilt—gold hair fell—
“Legend—the Cavendish heiress…… hates disloyal servants most.”
Finger on collarbone—traced neck—shiver—
“If a bold servant serves another behind her back—”
Whisper at ear:
“……She takes the sturdiest rope—binds that villain head to toe—”
“Locks them forever in the deepest darkest basement of her remotest island—no light—no sound—no food—”
Eyes wide—
Hand pushed—sat on bed—
Cefalina on her lap—arms on shoulders—breath close—eyes bright in dim—
Scared her—smirk satisfied.
“So even if others want you—” breath on lips—“no mistakes—if I catch you—”
Finger hooked the leather collar—pulled lightly.
“Wherever you run—I’ll fetch you back—make you regret. Understood?”
