Ye Xiao was getting a bit impatient.
She couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
"What's with this male side character? Has his brain stopped working? According to the plot, come on and fight back! Shout it to the world, you just have to be the sole devoted dog for the female lead!"
"Ye Xiao!!!" Gu Cheng couldn't hold back anymore, he shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Although the terms female side character, male side character, and female lead sounded absurd, Gu Cheng still roughly knew who Ye Xiao was referring to! This woman, to think she was arranging them like that in her mind.
But Ye Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Bro! That's right, just like that! Keep scolding me, don't stop!"
Ye Xiao lifted her gaze, gritting her teeth, "Am I wrong? Ye Bingtong, Ye Bingtong, Ye Bingtong, she's all you have in your hearts. You... and you, and you..."
Ye Xiao pointed at the three people, "If that's the case, why on earth did you bother bringing me back!"
"Hurry up, everyone join in, work a bit harder, let's wrap up this drama quickly. Oh right, if we have guests, can we add a few dishes to dinner? Delicious."
The three people Ye Xiao pointed out one by one: "..."
That was just ridiculous!
Ye Ming'an couldn't help but pat his own head.
Should he move up his medical check-up this year?
He should definitely have his brain checked.
If there really was a problem, it might still be treatable in time.
The three of them stood there as if they were dumb, not saying a word.
Ye Xiao was getting anxious; she was carrying the plot alone. She directly addressed Gu Cheng, "I don't care! The marriage contract with the Gu Family is mine! She's a fake, with no right to marry into the Gu Family! How am I, Ye Xiao, any less than Ye Bingtong? I must marry Gu Cheng!"
"So tiring, don't we female side characters have any human rights? Must we shout until our throats hurt? Okay, you all stop standing there stunned, quickly point at me righteously, then let the female lead come out and cry a bit, then I'll smash the vase, storm upstairs in a rage, and we can end this drama."
As Ye Xiao spoke, she looked towards the vase on the cabinet; she was going to smash that vase soon.
Following Ye Xiao's gaze, Ye Ming'an's body tensed!
That vase was an ancient Qing dynasty antique, worth millions! Couldn't she not smash it?
No, he must protect the vase later!
"Ye Xiao, what the hell are you..." Gu Cheng couldn't help but want to say something.
Suddenly, a frail voice spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, so you really think this way. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Ye Bingtong emerged, her face washed, looking frail and delicate.
She was originally a beauty, and her tear-streaked face was especially moving.
But now...
As it turns out, the makeup given by the system was of too high quality; there was still a faint blackness on her face.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but cover her mouth!
"Hahahaha."
Her demonic laughter, however, echoed in the minds of Gu Cheng and the others.
For a moment, they all felt as if their heads had been struck by a hammer, buzzing.
Ye Bingtong, not hearing the inner voice, saw everyone's expressions and her face subtly changed. She lowered her head and said, "I... I don't know where this blackness came from, I can't wash it off for the time being."
"It doesn't matter. My Bingtong is still just as beautiful," Du Yaru consoled her.
Ye Bingtong nodded weakly, exerting effort to ignore the blackness on her face, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at Gu Cheng, "Gu brother, I'm sorry. I can't be so selfish, clinging to the marriage contract. You belong to Xiaoxiao. I... I'm backing out."
Gu Cheng felt a pang in his heart and was about to speak.
"Tsk tsk tsk, of course you should back out. After all, you were just forcefully kissed by that little blonde yesterday, and you've been tossing and turning, unable to sleep."
Little blonde!
What little blonde!
Several people instinctively looked at Ye Xiao together.
Ye Xiao didn't notice anything wrong and continued to mock in her mind.
[This plot is ridiculous, a little punk acting tough in front of thugs, just for the heroine suddenly strives hard and becomes a dominating boss returning after seven years. Oh, poor mom and dad, you forced the heroine to leave the little punk back then, and later, the punk had people break all four of your legs. Boohoo.]
Gu Cheng: "..."
Parents: "???"
Ye Bingtong was somewhat baffled, everyone's reaction was, once again, different from what she had expected.
Suddenly, she clutched her head, showing an expression of intense pain: "My head, my head hurts so much."
Ye Bingtong always had headaches, seeing her like this, the others immediately forgot those bizarre statements and couldn't help becoming anxious.
[Ding. Second opportunity to alter the plot. Countdown sixty seconds. If not used within sixty seconds, the benefit is considered forfeited.]
Ye Xiao, who was engrossed in watching the drama, suddenly received a benefit and quickly picked up her pen.
The following part of the plot went like this.
"Ye Bingtong's face was pale, beads of sweat slid down her forehead. Seeing this, Gu Cheng's heart ached as if it was being sliced by a knife. He pushed his wheelchair to Ye Bingtong's side, wanting to tell her that in his heart, there was only her."
"Ye Bingtong turned around, leaning weakly against the wheelchair..."
There wasn't enough time left.
Without continuing to read on, Ye Xiao quickly changed one of the words.
She just finished the modification, and the plot began to unfold.
Gu Cheng, somewhat anxiously, pushed the wheelchair up behind Ye Bingtong. She seemed to be unsteady on her feet, her face pale and forehead covered with fine sweat, as if she might faint at any moment.
Just as Ye Ming'an was urgently ordering the servants to fetch the medicine.
Ye Bingtong turned around and suddenly took up a perfect horse-stance posture, then, with ease, lifted Gu Cheng along with the wheelchair, high off the ground.
The scene fell silent.
Gu Cheng, who had just been feeling sorry for Ye Bingtong, now only wished to get back on the ground quickly.
[Hahahaha. This is my weak and helpless little sister!]Ye Xiao's devilish laughter started echoing in everyone's minds again.
This time.
Ye Xiao had only changed one word again.
"...leaning weakly against the wheelchair..."
Ye Xiao changed "leaning" to "lifting"!
So, it became "lifting the wheelchair weakly"!
Ye Bingtong herself was also stunned, as she seemed to have been controlled by some strange force, naturally performing this action!
"Bingtong, put me down first," Gu Cheng's voice trembled slightly.
Ye Bingtong wanted to, indeed!
But!
After lifting the wheelchair, she still had a long speech to deliver.
Without finishing the speech, the wheelchair couldn't be put down.
Ye Bingtong started to speak somewhat distractedly: "Gu Brother, you don't have to say anything more, I've already made up my mind. I've been frail since childhood, and have been a burden on you for years, and now that Xiaoxiao is back, I shouldn't burden you any longer. A person like me, who knows when I might just die silently, being with me would only hold you back."
Her words...
If said weakly and tearfully, might have been somewhat credible.
But now.
While her muscles burst forth, holding the wheelchair and Gu Cheng aloft, and saying these words.
[Hahahaha.]
Ye Xiao's loud laughter filled the world.
