"Bullying a classmate?" Ye Xiao looked at the two of them with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Everyone knows that Pei Yue is capable of fighting and brawling without limits, and his girlfriends' hair collectively features seven different colors. For such a lowly creature to have the nerve to lecture me — if I don't hit him, wouldn't he think he could reach the skies!"
"Xiaoxiao!" Bingtong was frantic. "Don't talk about Pei Yue like that. He... he's actually a good person!"
Ye Xiao's smile grew even brighter.
The male lead, eh?
Of course, he's a good person.
He gets into fights, he brawls, he skips classes, he bullies his classmates.
But sure, he's a good person.
Ye Xiao stood up decisively.
Smack!
She raised her hand and delivered a slap combo to Bingtong as well.
Bingtong was stunned.
Pei Yue was furious, he bellowed and charged forward, ready to hit Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at him disdainfully.
The so-called male lead is nothing but a little rascal now.
In the book, his relationship with Bingtong was ruthlessly torn apart by their parents. Bingtong was locked up, and Pei Yue was forced to transfer schools.
Then, he was angry, he was indignant, he vowed to take his revenge for everything.
After several years of toughening up, he became the later, inscrutable and scheming CEO.
If it were that Pei Yue, she might have had a few reservations.
But now?
He's just trash!
The moment Pei Yue charged at her.
Ye Xiao flung the table up, blocking his punch.
And then.
Ye Xiao said with a cold laugh, "Pei Yue, you want to hit me, don't you? Come on then, hit me! If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, that would mean Bingtong hasn't looked after me well. I'll be watching how she explains it to our family!"
Pei Yue hesitated, indeed not daring to move a muscle.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt. "How interesting. You, this sludge, dare to spew nonsense at this young lady! It seems Bingtong really cares about you, and you about her, huh? What is it? Were you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation to take revenge for Bingtong? Looking at the two of you, don't tell me you've been dating behind the scenes!"
With Ye Xiao's mockery, the gazes of the other students also became more playful.
Just now.
The behavior of Pei Yue and Bingtong was indeed a little too telling.
To claim there's nothing fishy between these two, they wouldn't believe it either.
Bingtong, feeling everyone's eyes on her, was flushed with embarrassment and anger, and she blurted out instinctively, "Pei Yue and I are innocent, not at all what you describe."
Innocent?
Bingtong's hasty denial evidently touched a nerve in Pei Yue.
Pei Yue clenched his teeth, his face darkened, and he walked straight to the back.
He took off his jacket and covered his head with it, as if he didn't want to say anything anymore.
Bingtong knew he was angry, and she felt a pang of distress.
Why couldn't Pei Yue understand her situation?
With his current status, how could her parents accept him?
Besides, there was also Ye Xiao.
Any slight mistake from her would lead to an abandoned fate.
Bingtong also became somewhat downcast.
Ye Xiao glanced at her and commanded without any politeness, "Clean up the table for me, and pour me some water while you're at it! Honestly, dawdling over every little thing, incapable of getting anything done, I wonder what use the Ye family has for keeping you around."
Bingtong clenched her teeth.
She wished she could tear Ye Xiao's face to shreds.
But she couldn't.
She was the gentle and kind Bingtong, after all.
Ye Xiao could be shameless, arrogant, and downright vicious, but could she?
She could not.
Suppressing her anger, Bingtong fixed the table and poured water for Ye Xiao.
Just then, the instructor arrived and started the lesson on performance theory.
Bingtong wanted to pay attention, but she kept thinking about Pei Yue's disappointed look earlier, her mind a whirlwind of turbulence, unable to focus on anything being said.
Halfway through the lesson, Bingtong suddenly realized this wouldn't do. She glanced at Ye Xiao involuntarily.
She saw that Ye Xiao was listening very carefully, even taking some notes.
Ye Bingtong felt a rush of panic subconsciously.
If her excellent academic performance, which she'd always been proud of, had also been surpassed by Ye Xiao...
No, no, no, impossible. Ye Xiao was just a straggler.
Yet Bingtong still tried hard to concentrate.
But the image of Pei Yue filled her mind, and she ultimately couldn't settle down.
After a morning of classes, Bingtong felt her head was empty, and she hadn't taken in anything.
She couldn't resist stealing a glance back at Pei Yue, who had been sleeping the whole time, a hint of sadness flickering in her eyes.
What should I do?
Is Pei Yue really done with me?
Ye Xiao took a look at Bingtong and couldn't help but click her tongue.
Honestly, she couldn't quite understand the female lead.
In the book, Bingtong's grades were originally very good, but because of the male lead, her academic performance plummeted, and she nearly couldn't graduate.
Later, it was the Ye Family's financial power that helped her get a graduation diploma and crafted her reputation as a piano prodigy, securing her place in showbiz and making her a shining star.
You could say,
All the bad things the female lead did were because of Pei Yue.
Everything she had was because of the Ye Family.
Yet,
Just because her family tore her away from Pei Yue, she despised the family that raised her for nearly two decades so bitterly.
That kind of logic was something Ye Xiao just couldn't understand.
Transmigrated once,
Ye Xiao still cherished her current life.
In her previous life, nicknamed the youngest 'Best Actress,' she had regrets too.
Her regret was that she'd never received the most professional training; she had climbed up step by step from an extra to a supporting actress, then to a lead and ultimately a 'Best Actress.'
But the further she went, the more she felt something was lacking.
In her past life, she had already planned to pursue professional training systematically, but then an accident happened and she arrived in this world.
It just so happened to give her a chance to start over with her studies.
In these books,
The career plotline is never the most important; even if Bingtong became a celebrity in the entertainment industry, her most crucial aspect wasn't her achievements, but the man she loved.
Therefore,
The career plotline is trivial in the story.
Ye Xiao thought that if she changed this plotline a bit, the system probably wouldn't mind.
If the female lead didn't want to pursue her career, she would do it.
She was going to reach the pinnacle in this world that she never did in her past life.
As for the female lead...
Ye Xiao smiled slightly.
There's a key scene coming up at noon.
If she wants to degenerate willingly, then so be it.
Without giving Bingtong another glance, Ye Xiao walked away directly.
If she didn't leave, how would she give the main couple their space?
Seeing Ye Xiao leave, Bingtong breathed a long sigh of relief.
She looked at Pei Yue, then bit her lower lip and stood up, dragging her feet out.
Not long after, Pei Yue also got up and followed.
The school rooftop.
Bingtong had just walked over.
Suddenly, a figure embraced her.
It was Pei Yue.
With a flushed face, Bingtong turned around, and the two of them kissed passionately.
Ye Xiao didn't see the live scene, but she saw the live text!
This part belonged to a key scene.
As the scene unfolded in the plot, the corresponding dialogue would be highlighted in red and bold, making it hard for Ye Xiao to miss it.
Just reading the text was enough to make Ye Xiao's eyes burn.
Originally, she had wanted to save up the precious opportunity to change the plot one word at a time, but now, it seemed she couldn't wait any longer.
Ye Xiao reluctantly took out her pen. Starting tomorrow, she would definitely save more words!
The rooftop.
The atmosphere was incredibly heated.
"You're indifferent to me in public, but behind closed doors, you're quite passionate? Huh? You little temptress!" Pei Yue's breath was scorching.
Ye Bingtong's face blushed, and she said softly, "You know, the Ye Family has found their true daughter. My days... my days are not easy now. I can't let Ye Xiao catch me by the tail anymore."
Pei Yue was somewhat annoyed, "So, I'm the 'tail' you speak of? Ye Bingtong, am I that shameful to be seen with?"
Ye Bingtong said with some urgency, "No... that's not it! It's just, the people of the Ye Family, they are always so opportunistic. They only look at a person's exterior, they will never know how kind and good you are. You're like a ball of sun, giving me unparalleled warmth! Pei Yue, I know how good you are, but they don't. It doesn't matter how I fare, but you, I'm afraid they might harm you. I absolutely won't allow any accidents to happen to you because of me."
"Bingtong." Pei Yue was deeply moved.
"Pei Yue." Ye Bingtong also wore a profound expression.
According to the upcoming story.
"Moved in his heart, he looked at the girl in his arms, her shy yet brave demeanor touched him deeply, he stepped forward, trapped her in the corner of the wall, and without waiting, he lowered his head, plundering the sweetness of her lips..."
Thus.
Pei Yue felt a stir in his heart, and couldn't help but move a little closer to Ye Bingtong.
Ye Bingtong's face reddened even more in shyness.
Suddenly, Pei Yue grabbed her arms.
Ye Bingtong felt an even sweeter sensation in her heart, she closed her eyes, bracing herself for what was about to come.
However, the next moment...
She felt herself suddenly lifted into the air.
Ye Bingtong: "???"
What's going on!
The next moment.
Pei Yue suddenly threw her horizontally, and forcefully tossed her forward.
Bang!
Ye Bingtong was thrown directly into the corner of the wall!
She screamed in agony, and in an instant, her head was bleeding.
Ye Xiao, who was dining in the cafeteria.
Saw the plot turn into.
"Moved in his heart, …, he forcefully threw her into the corner of the wall, Ye Bingtong cried out in pain, fresh red blood flowing down her forehead..."
"Pfft!!"
Ye Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She changed being 'trapped' between the wall to being 'thrown' against it.
Then.
The subsequent plot, all changed!
Weren't these two supposed to be into romantic stuff?
This 'bloody romance' must be romantic in some way, right?
It's just that the system has again committed the old problem of being too literal.
Pei Yue didn't just throw her gently, he threw her with all his might.
And with Ye Bingtong's head hitting the corner of the wall, the blood flowed freely in an instant.
This situation! Looks like a hospital rush is needed!
Sure enough.
In the story, Pei Yue hugged Ye Bingtong in panic and began to rush towards the infirmary, shouting as he went.
Ye Xiao fell into thought.
What to do.
This mess, should she watch, or should she watch?
Since there's no choice, let's watch then!
After eating her meal, Ye Xiao dawdled out only to see a crowd curiously looking in one direction; she followed their gaze.
She saw Pei Yue holding Ye Bingtong, running madly toward the infirmary, while the poor Ye Bingtong had already fainted.
"Is that Pei Yue? And in his arms, is that Ye Bingtong?"
"What's happening! I haven't heard of any connection between the two!"
The most notorious delinquent in the whole academy, and the Ye Family's prized jewel, the universally acknowledged school beauty Ye Bingtong, actually had some kind of connection?
The crowd couldn't help but start buzzing with discussion.
"Hey, you guys might not know this, but it looked like Ye Bingtong was really anxious about Pei Yue during class this morning. There's definitely something going on between these two."
"Impossible, impossible! How could the goddess Bingtong be with a delinquent!"
Ye Bingtong had crafted a good public persona, and she had many supporters in the school who immediately started to argue in her defense.
"Didn't you see the goddess fainted! It must have been Pei Yue who did something to her!"
"Let's go, let's check it out. We must not let Pei Yue harm the goddess."
The crowd moved, following the leads of the main male and female.
Ye Xiao mingled inside and followed along to watch the excitement.
Infirmary.
Pei Yue kicked the door open, then directly pushed aside the girl who was being seen by the doctor, roaring, "Doctor, save Bingtong, please save Bingtong fast."
The beautiful female doctor in the infirmary was stunned.
"Hurry up." Pei Yue bellowed, "If something happens to Bingtong, I won't let you off."
What kind of attitude was that?
The doctor frowned, Bingtong's wound didn't seem too serious, but since she was unconscious there, pale as a ghost, she did indeed seem to need immediate attention.
Not in the mood to argue with Pei Yue, the doctor said coldly, "Stop shouting! Put her on the bed first."
Pei Yue suppressed his rage and laid Bingtong on the bed, then his face twisted in pain.
Just what had he done, acting insane like this?
He liked Bingtong so much, how could he... how could he have hurt her?
After inspecting her wound, the doctor was still relatively calm, "The wound is not serious, just needs bandaging. But since it's a head injury, it's best to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up."
"Why won't you check her out!" Pei Yue became frantic, "Every minute we delay, Bingtong is in more danger."
The doctor looked at him expressionlessly, "Sorry, we don't have the equipment for thorough examination here."
What, was she going to deliberately not save someone?
Pei Yue's expression turned ugly, and through clenched teeth, he said, "Then get on with the bandaging!"
The doctor was speechless but quickly treated the wound and urged Pei Yue to take her to the hospital.
When Pei Yue carried Bingtong out, he caught sight of Ye Xiao in the crowd, who appeared to be enjoying the drama, and he couldn't restrain his anger, "Ye Xiao! That's your sister, she's hurt, and you're just standing there gloating!"
Suddenly called out, Ye Xiao blinked innocently.
She retorted, "Where do you see me gloating? I should be the one asking you! Bingtong was with you, wasn't she? How did she suddenly get hurt? Shouldn't you give an explanation to the Ye Family?"
Pei Yue's face darkened instantly.
Ye Xiao quickly added, "Don't think of denying it! Bingtong was waiting and wouldn't leave; I could tell she was waiting for you. After I left, only you two were in the classroom! It must have been you who did something to my sister!"
Ye Xiao accused loudly, prompting the crowd to start murmuring among themselves.
Pei Yue's face turned beet red as he yelled, "It wasn't me! I didn't do anything!"
At that moment.
He completely forgot about the injured girl in his arms, focused only on clearing his own name.
Watching the scene, Ye Xiao couldn't help but find it quite remarkable.
At this stage, Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue were just beginning to take an interest in each other, nowhere near as deeply in love as they would be later on.
Ye Bingtong would publicly deny any association with Pei Yue, and Pei Yue would be eager to clear his own name, even ignoring Bingtong.
If there hadn't been any interference from the Ye Family, their relationship might not have lasted very long at all.
These two were fundamentally different people.
It was the obstacles from others that made them more convinced they were true loves, willing to give up everything to be together.
In the story where Bingtong is the female lead, they followed the trope of a torturous love. Later, when they reunited, Pei Yue didn't spare Bingtong, inflicting confinement, whipping, both physical and emotional distress, the whole nine yards, yet in the end, they overcame their misunderstandings and ended up happily ever after. Calling this the eighth wonder of the world wouldn't be an exaggeration, right?
Pei Yue later beat Bingtong worse than this.
Later Bingtong, covered in scars, forgave Pei Yue.
This minor injury now certainly couldn't make Bingtong back down.
Ye Xiao was simply curious.
If this time, no one interfered with them.
If they got together without any trouble.
Would they be able to have the happy ending described in the book?
