Villainess With a Cat Changing System Ch.39
Another day, another extra chapter. Enjoy!
Lin Shuwei and Huo Yu sat in the resting area. Huo Yu felt a bit uneasy, but Lin Shuwei had prepared water and snacks for her!
Huo Yu got up to go to the bathroom.
“Don’t follow me!” Huo Yu snapped at Lin Shuwei. Lin Shuwei paused for a moment and sat back down.
After using the bathroom, Huo Yu looked at herself in the mirror at the sink.
Was there too much blush on her face?!
From now on, they should participate in events separately from Lin Shuwei!
Huo Yu adjusted her expression and went out. She hadn’t walked a few steps when she bumped into someone she knew, Cheng Haoxuan.
It’s easy to run into acquaintances at these kinds of events.
“Xiao Yu, can I talk to you privately? I have something to tell you.” Cheng Haoxuan said to Huo Yu.
“I don’t want to talk to you!” Huo Yu was annoyed as soon as she saw Cheng Haoxuan. Recently, he had approached her several times, and every time he did, Huo Yu got more annoyed.
Huo Yu finally understood how irritating she must have been when Cheng Haoxuan was bothering her before.
“There are so many reporters here. Don’t you want to be in tomorrow’s news? Just a few words, let me say them, and then I’ll leave. Can’t we talk after so many years of friendship?” Cheng Haoxuan said, approaching Huo Yu.
“If you have something to say, say it over there!” Huo Yu suppressed her anger and said, turning around and quickly stepping into a side corridor where there was no one.
“Xiao Yu, I have a gift for you.” Cheng Haoxuan approached Huo Yu and took out a small box, revealing a ruby necklace.
“Xiao Yu, I remember you liked this brand of necklace. This one is the latest design. I spent 65 million buying it. It’s made with Burmese rubies and consists of ninety-nine diamonds. The craftsmanship is exquisite…” Cheng Haoxuan said.
“Cheng Haoxuan, I don’t like it! I don’t like anything you give me. If that’s all you wanted to say, then it’s over!” Huo Yu looked at the ruby necklace and paused before speaking.
She used to like rubies. If it had been a few months earlier, regardless of the price, Huo Yu would have been happy.
Now, as she looked at it, she just found it ridiculous.
“Xiao Yu, how can it be over? You’re not married, and I’m not married. You don’t have someone you like, but I like you. Is it abnormal for me to pursue you? I won’t give up.” Cheng Haoxuan said.
“You’re really annoying! I’m leaving!” Huo Yu said angrily, trying to walk forward, but Cheng Haoxuan blocked her.
“Can’t we talk a bit more? Do you remember when we were in middle school, and I had just learned to ride a motorcycle? I took you out for a ride. One time, when we were turning, we fell. You hurt your arm, and tears rolled down from the pain. But to comfort me, you still said it didn’t hurt. You even kept it a secret from your family, because you were afraid of getting scolded. I was a fool, an idiot. Now, looking back on those childhood memories, every single one of them was good because of you. Xiao Yu…” Cheng Haoxuan spoke, watching Huo Yu’s expression.
Huo Yu felt Cheng Haoxuan was very annoying, but when he talked about those past memories, she felt uncomfortable inside.
That motorcycle’s passenger seat had also been occupied by other girls.
At that time, she had truly exploded with anger and fought with countless girls over that seat.
“Stop talking!” Huo Yu closed her eyes and said, walking forward. Cheng Haoxuan reached out and grabbed Huo Yu.
“Mr. Cheng, this isn’t how a gentleman behaves.” a voice sounded, and a slender hand grabbed Cheng Haoxuan’s arm, pushing it away from Huo Yu’s arm.
The person who arrived was Lin Shuwei, wearing a blue starry gown.
Huo Yu left, and although Lin Shuwei didn’t follow closely, she still kept an eye on her.
After waiting for a while and not seeing Huo Yu return, Lin Shuwei went to find her.
When Huo Yu saw Lin Shuwei, she felt a slight sense of relief. Compared to Cheng Haoxuan, Lin Shuwei was better.
“Lin Shuwei?!” Cheng Haoxuan turned his head and saw Lin Shuwei, feeling a bit unhappy.
Cheng Haoxuan had previously been interested in Lin Shuwei because of her good looks. Moreover, among the people he had met, Lin Shuwei was the least interested in him. She didn’t show that intense desire to “flirt” with him like those other girls did.
Her purity, gentleness, and lack of interest in him ignited his competitive spirit.
Later, Huo Yu, who had always been around him, also started ignoring him, and he began to appreciate Huo Yu’s goodness.
At this moment, although he still thought Lin Shuwei was quite attractive, in comparison, Huo Yu was more important.
Originally, when he saw Huo Yu’s expression showing signs of softening, clearly being drawn into memories, Lin Shuwei appeared.
Moreover, who wouldn’t want to have a good CP with Lin Shuwei? But instead, she became a CP with Huo Yu. What’s up with that?!
“Mr. Cheng, it’s not very polite to block a lady like this, is it?” Lin Shuwei said, bypassing Cheng Haoxuan and standing in front of Huo Yu.
“Lin Shuwei, Xiao Yu and I were talking. We grew up together since we were young, just kidding around. Who do you think you are? Can’t you leave first?” Cheng Haoxuan said somewhat reluctantly.
“I am an artist at President Huo’s company and also her temporary assistant. She doesn’t want to see you right now and wants to leave. Don’t make things difficult for others. Isn’t basic courtesy part of being a decent person?” Lin Shuwei said calmly.
“You’re teaching me how to be a decent person? Lin Shuwei, you’re just an artist from Xiao Yu’s company. Don’t think that because of the rumors about your CP online, you have some special relationship with her! You’re nothing! Step aside, please don’t disturb our conversation!” Cheng Haoxuan said angrily as he looked at Lin Shuwei.
“Ding, Lin Shuwei hears Cheng Haoxuan’s words, happiness points -100.”
Upon hearing 006’s report, Huo Yu, who had been affected by Cheng Haoxuan’s words causing Lin Shuwei’s happiness points to drop, couldn’t care about reminiscing anymore.
She was angry!
Angrier than when Cheng Haoxuan was bothering her!
“Cheng Haoxuan, who wants to talk to you? What’s the relationship between Lin Shuwei and me? Do you have any right to interfere?!” Huo Yu took a step forward and slapped Cheng Haoxuan across the face.
“Xiao Yu, you…” Cheng Haoxuan couldn’t believe it.
The slap didn’t hurt, but it was meant for Lin Shuwei!
Since her debut, Lin Shuwei had been an artist from Huo Yu’s company. Initially, Huo Yu had even wanted to torture her to death.
Just because he had a few more conversations with Lin Shuwei.
But now, everything had completely changed!
He simply mentioned Lin Shuwei, and she took action!
Lin Shuwei looked at the enraged Huo Yu, and a surge of warmth overflowed in her heart.
“You two, is it really like what they say online?” Cheng Haoxuan asked. It was obvious that Huo Yu’s feelings for Lin Shuwei had surfaced, and now Lin Shuwei’s eyes were filled with affection!
What was going on with these two?!
“So what if it is?! What’s it to you! Lin Shuwei, let’s go!” Huo Yu coldly snorted and said.
When Huo Yu was about to turn around, Lin Shuwei grabbed her hand.
Huo Yu stiffened. With Cheng Haoxuan present, Huo Yu couldn’t break free, so she held onto Lin Shuwei and left.
Cheng Haoxuan watched the two stunning women, with different styles, leaving hand in hand, feeling like he was dreaming.
Girls holding hands were normal, but Huo Yu holding hands with a girl was extraordinary!
Were they really together?!
Or was Huo Yu just using Lin Shuwei as an excuse to get rid of him?
No matter what Cheng Haoxuan was thinking, Lin Shuwei’s mood improved.
“Ding, upon hearing the host’s words, Lin Shuwei’s happiness points increased by 200.”
“Ding, upon holding the host’s hand, Lin Shuwei’s happiness points increased by 300.”
Lin Shuwei’s happiness points soared, and Huo Yu’s mood improved slightly, but he was still conflicted.
What was going on with her?!
Why was she happy about holding her hand?!
After walking a few steps, Huo Yu wanted to let go of Lin Shuwei’s hand, but Lin Shuwei didn’t let her, as she held her hand tightly in her palm.
“Lin Shuwei!” Huo Yu turned her head to look at her.
“President Huo, thank you.” Lin Shuwei said to Huo Yu.
“You are my artist, and also my pride. No need to thank me! Can you let go of my hand now?” Huo Yu said.
“Just wait a moment.” Lin Shuwei looked at Huo Yu and wanted to say something, but it wasn’t convenient in the hallway. She pulled Huo Yu and walked a short distance forward, entering a resting room.
“What do you want?” Huo Yu entered the resting room and looked at Lin Shuwei.
“President Huo, there’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you. I like you. I know you also like me, right?” Lin Shuwei approached Huo Yu, took a deep breath, and looked at her slowly. Her face blushed because it was her first time confessing, and her previously light makeup revealed a touch of brilliance.
“I’m not… I don’t… Don’t talk nonsense! Things on the internet can’t be trusted. I was just angry at Cheng Haoxuan! Don’t take it seriously.” Huo Yu widened her eyes and quickly said.
Lin Shuwei took another step forward, and the two almost bumped into each other. Huo Yu leaned back, and Lin Shuwei supported her waist.
“President Huo, there are things that I know are true. It was you who arranged everything for Xiao Xiao. You had your brother help. How did you know so quickly when I was locked in the bathroom? You secretly went to the island without telling anyone. If you wanted to win the heart of an employee like me, why didn’t you tell me? And you even had Liu Yiyi report on my situation to you all the time. Is that the treatment every artist in the company receives? The performance teacher is so expensive, costing six figures per lesson, and yet I’m the only one who receives these lessons. You did so much, far beyond the scope of an employer-employee relationship. Whether you admit it or not, I like you.” Lin Shuwei softly and slowly spoke to Huo Yu.
Lin Shuwei’s gaze was fixed on Huo Yu, filled with deep affection and utmost concentration.
Huo Yu felt a bit dazed, her heartbeat accelerated, and blood rushed to her head.
Lin Shuwei was too close, close enough to see how many eyelashes she had, close enough to smell her breath.
Lin Shuwei actually liked her?!
Wasn’t she stealing her brother’s thunder?!
“What are you imagining? How could I possibly like you! Are you out of your mind? It’s my brother who likes you, and I treat you as my sister-in-law. The reason I’m nice to you is all because of my brother! I have the best relationship with my brother. Whoever he approves of naturally becomes my family.” Huo Yu pushed Lin Shuwei aside and said, trying to calm down.
“How could you think that your brother likes me? He doesn’t like me. He likes Xiao Xiao.” Lin Shuwei said. She didn’t expect Huo Yu to think that her brother liked her.
“My brother likes your sister?! He went to the island to meet you before. It wasn’t a business trip at all. He didn’t even bring his assistant. Was he going to see you or someone else?” Huo Yu was shocked.
“He brought Xiao Xiao to see me. She wasn’t caught on camera. You can ask your brother.” Lin Shuwei said, feeling uneasy inside.
Huo Yu was truly surprised.
She really thought Huo Zhen liked her!
“Well, this is just a complete misunderstanding, yes, a misunderstanding! We’re both women! How could I possibly like you! It’s impossible! I’m not a lesbian! I like men, okay? Don’t let those people on the internet mislead you! I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. It turns out my brother likes your sister! That’s great.” Huo Yu suddenly realized.
Instantly, she felt relieved.
Lin Shuwei shouldn’t have lied to her.
Just a moment ago, she felt guilty towards her own brother, but she didn’t expect Huo Zhen to like Lin Shuxiao!
“Let’s go, the event is still ongoing!” Huo Yu said and quickly left the resting room, not wanting to say anything more.
Her face was burning, feeling like it was melting.
As soon as Huo Yu left the resting room, a notification from 006 chimed in.
“Ding, upon hearing the host’s words, Lin Shuwei’s happiness points -1000.”
“Ding, Lin Shuwei is rejected by the host, happiness points -2000.”
“Ding, Lin Shuwei wants to hug the host, happiness points -1000.”
“What?!” Huo Yu was dumbfounded. Before she could react, she felt herself shrinking at a visible speed, while the objects around her were growing at a visible speed!
Her happiness points, about to reach 4000, suddenly decreased by 4000, becoming a negative value, -210.
She was forced to turn into a cat!

Ahhhhh! And it was all going so well…
What exactly does CP mean here? I’m sure I learned most of these things when I was reading She is the Protagonist, but I’ve forgotten them since. …
Sigh, tsundere Huo Yu is just too much for our dear Shuwei 😭
CP = Couple Pairing.
Two people who you believe should/would be good together, or who you “ship” together.
