Chapter 15 - 15 Watch the Drama First
Ye Mingcheng and Du Yaru personally escorted Ye Xiao back to school, showing her great care in their actions and words.
Even though Ye Xiao looked dismissive and perfunctory, the two didn’t mind in the slightest.
This scene was once again witnessed by people at the school.
In an instant,
The rumor that Ye Xiao, the true heiress, was not favored, debunked itself.
After Ye Xiao returned, some classmates began to approach her and show her kindness.
With the flamboyant personality of the female supporting character, she naturally wouldn’t reject them, and Ye Xiao, in line with her character setup, was receptive to everyone’s advances.
By the way,
Ye Xiao also used the system to check the scene at the melon field.
The storyline had already changed, but fortunately, the system was smart enough to have generated a new script by now.
Ye Xiao treated it as if she was reading a story, absorbing it with great interest.
“Bingtong stood at the door, her expression tense, her eyes carrying a hint of moistness. Her Pei Yue had suffered so much when he was a child, and she had sworn never to let him suffer again. But now, because of her, he was enduring such torment. Bingtong felt she could never forgive herself.”
“Finally, Pei Yue came out looking utterly exhausted. When he saw Bingtong, his expression changed slightly, and he strode away! The pride of a young man did not allow his disheveled state to be seen by the girl he liked.”
“Bingtong called out to him, her eyes brimming with mist, and then, bravely rushed forward, embracing her young man. She buried her head in his chest: ‘Pei Yue, I’ve annulled the engagement…’”
Hiss.
Ye Xiao got goosebumps all over as she read on.
This was a bit too nauseating.
But the male and female leads seemed to be enjoying their performance very much, and Pei Yue was particularly moved when he heard Bingtong had annulled the engagement.
The two embraced each other, breaking through conventional views, and kissed sweetly under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Ye Xiao:
All right then, as long as you’re happy!
Luckily she didn’t rush to the scene to watch the spectacle, or it would have been quite disgusting. She hadn’t even had dinner yet!
Having annulled the engagement, Bingtong now felt an unparalleled sense of freedom, and under Pei Yue’s suggestion, the two of them gloriously skipped school!
Ye Xiao casually flipped through the pages to find that they had gone to a bar. Pei Yue took Bingtong to smoke and drink, and when they came out of the bar, Bingtong was harassed by someone, prompting Pei Yue to charge up with his fists flying. Bingtong was mesmerized by the way he fought.
They kissed sweetly yet again.
Come evening, Bingtong simply didn’t return home and went with Pei Yue to a run-down motel. According to the book, nothing substantial happened between them; they just held each other for warmth and shared a few amorous moments.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but click her tongue.
In the original storyline, there had been a similar episode, but at that time, Bingtong had used the excuse of sleeping over at a girlfriend’s house to sneak out with Pei Yue. The Ye Family hadn’t known about it back then.
But this time,
It seems Bingtong won’t be able to keep it a secret!
Ye Xiao couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to this person any longer, focusing instead on her own studies.
Although the end of this transmigration seemed grim, with the system in hand, she still had the potential to create a new ending.
This experience was also a brand-new life for her, and she couldn’t devote all her energy to these male and female leads.
She had her own life to live, her own dreams to fulfill!
In the school, most of the students were boarders.
Ye Xiao had previously stayed in the dormitory, but after being acknowledged by the Ye Family, she had been living with them continuously.
Ye Xiao pondered.
Going back and forth like this seemed somewhat inconvenient.
She was thinking about mentioning to her parents that she would prefer to continue boarding at school.
Unexpectedly, just after her class ended, Ye Mingcheng took the initiative to message her, saying he would come to pick her up in person.
Ye Xiao felt somewhat at a loss for a moment.
This plot development seemed off, didn’t it?
What about the despised and unloved female supporting character?
But since Ye Mingcheng was insistent, Ye Xiao didn’t feel right refusing.
She could only get into the car with all the grandeur fitting her character.
“It seems that a true heiress is indeed a true heiress,”
people exclaimed.
“Indeed, who wouldn’t cherish their own child and instead favor someone else’s?”
“Speaking of which, where is Bingtong? She hasn’t come back for a while.”
“Hmph. That damn Pei Yue, he hurt our Goddess Bingtong so badly; he deserves to stay in the detention center for life.”
“Goddess Bingtong is also quite pitiable. It wasn’t her choice to be swapped at birth, and now it feels like she’s been abandoned.”
“Yeah. Ye Bingtong is still injured, yet the Ye Family parents came to pick up Ye Xiao as if nothing had happened.”
“True daughters and fake daughters, there’s always a difference in the end.”
Some people felt sorry for Ye Bingtong, while others thought the actions of the Ye Family were somewhat understandable, after all, she is their biological daughter.
No matter what, compared to Ye Xiao being ridiculed one-sidedly in the book, the situation had improved a lot.
Ye Family.
This one evening.
Ye Bingtong didn’t come back.
Elder brother Ye Bolin didn’t come back either.
Ye Xiao glanced at the seemingly calm but actually somewhat worried Ye Family parents and couldn’t help but sigh.
[If they knew that the daughter they’ve doted on for years went with a gangster to smoke and drink, and even shared a cheap hotel room to sleep in each other’s arms, they would be very upset.]
What?!!!
The bodies of the Ye Family parents stiffened at the same time!
They were trying very hard to control themselves not to interfere.
But.
Smoking!
Drinking!
And staying in a cheap hotel!
Has Ye Bingtong gone mad?
[I’m here, so they’re restraining themselves from showing their concern for Ye Bingtong. Better go to sleep first.]
Ye Xiao yawned, said something casually, and went upstairs.
The Ye Family parents watched her figure with increasing guilt.
Their daughter!
Even after enduring so many hardships outside for years, she’s still so considerate.
She’s just habitually using her arrogant and domineering appearance to hide the softness of her heart.
In fact, she cares about her family members more than anyone else.
The Ye Family parents, moved by their own narrative, felt their eyes brimming with tears, and for a moment, the heartache brought by Ye Bingtong seemed diminished.
Forget it!
They have Xiaoxiao, and that’s enough.
As for Ye Bingtong.
They have given her everything they could.
What kind of life she chooses is up to her.
As parents, they naturally want to help her, but she has to be willing!
The next day.
In the school, there were only two morning classes.
When Ye Xiao arrived at the classroom, she saw Ye Bingtong sitting there with a shy expression.
And Pei Yue? He was still at his last row.
But his gaze kept falling on Ye Bingtong, and the ambiguous vibe between them could hardly be hidden anymore.
Ye Xiao clicked her tongue in amazement.
This time, it seemed like the Ye Family parents didn’t want to break them up.
The relationship between these two was about to surface.
In her previous life.
Ye Bingtong, with her prodigy pianist status coupled with the publicity of a first-love face, secured a spot in the entertainment industry as soon as she entered.
But this time…
A Ye Bingtong who’s passionately involved with a gangster, can she still market the face of a first love? Can she still be worshipped as a campus goddess?
Ye Xiao was looking forward to it.
After midnight, she could now modify another word.
But this time, Ye Xiao wanted to save it. A single word change is hard to affect the overall situation. If she could change multiple words, a whole sentence, or even a paragraph, perhaps she could change the entire course of the story, and thus truly rewrite the ending.
As for now…
She didn’t need to lift a finger; these two main characters could mess things up all on their own.
She might as well enjoy the show first.
