Chapter 2My Capybara Soul in a Hollywood Scandal

I thought the bed here was actually quite soft.

I wanted to sleep.

So, I lay down.

It really was very soft.

Unexpectedly, the original host’s ringtone blared. Under the system's panicked prompting, I successfully pressed the answer button.

“Chloe, I’m already with Sophia. Stop pestering me. If you dare target Sophia again, I swear I won’t let you get away with it.”

“We’re done. Delete my number.”

Me: “Sure, whatever.”

So, I clumsily deleted the contact saved as “Him” on WeChat.

Then I turned over and continued lying on the bed like a corpse, going back to sleep.

I slept for two whole days.

When I woke up, I was surrounded by a large crowd of people.

My manager, Linda, saw I was awake, her eyes wide with shock.

“You… you’re not dead?”

Next to her stood a police officer and a medical examiner.

Outside the door, a few neighbors were secretly pointing their phones at me, live-streaming the scene.

I was… hungry.

So, I slowly got up, opened the fridge, took out a large handful of cabbage, and started munching on it. Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Linda: …

“What are you doing?”

Me: “Eating.”

She glanced at the darkened faces of the police officer and medical examiner, then yelled anxiously: “Weren't you trying to commit suicide by cutting your wrists? Your neighbors said you hadn't left your apartment for two days, the place smelled like blood, and your phone was off!”

I looked at the blood on my hand.

I probably bit myself by accident while sleeping again.

We capybaras usually can’t tell what we can and cannot eat, plus we have bad eyesight. No wonder the cabbage in my dream tasted a bit off.

Linda frowned, clearly not believing me: “If it wasn't a suicide attempt, why didn't you treat the wound?”

I had a sudden realization.

Oh, right.

Linda: “…”

The police officer and medical examiner sternly reprimanded Linda: “Please do not waste public resources. Filing a false police report is a crime.”

Meanwhile, the neighbors outside the door were gossiping.

“Isn't she the one who pushed Sophia into the water and got blocked by Liam? And then she faked a suicide attempt.”

“Now the police have confirmed it was a false alarm.”

Photos of the police walking downstairs were posted online by paparazzi.

The entire internet was furious:

[I am so done with her. Does she think she owns the police department? Faking suicide just because she got blocked, wasting public resources.]

[It’s been three years. Has she still not given up? Our Sophia and Liam are a match made in heaven.]

[She was the one who pushed Sophia on that show before. Sophia is still in the hospital!]

[What's the point of faking a suicide attempt?]
