Chapter 5 - The plot has drastically changed! (3)
Jiang Shuyao was completely out of her element. She recognized that this was the young woman that had run fast enough to leave an afterimage. She only weakly asked, "What's going on?"
"Shuyao, go back first." Shi Qingyin stood in front of her as if he was protecting her. He coldly said, "Yue Xia, I thought we could break up peacefully. It's really ugly that you keep pestering me."
The system thought; very good. Except for a few harmless, little mistakes, everything was going in the expected direction.
The system's pivotal goal wasn't to ruin the engagement party. It was to plant a seed of suspicion in Jiang Shuyao's heart. As someone who couldn't accept a playboy partner, once there was doubt, she wouldn't go with the flow and easily marry Shi Qingyin. With this, the plot of the miscarriage was smoothly dropped, the protagonists could fast forward to separating, and Shi Qingyin would meet the red rose.
And, this scene matched what a villainess would do. Her character could be reused to promote the plot later. This was a perfect arrangement. As expected, the host was a hard worker.
Yue Xia blinked and immediately turned into an adorable, crying creature. While sobbing, she said, "Could it be… you forgot our past?"
How could Shi Qingyin forget?
After all, Yue Xia had dug out her heart and offered it to him. Even normal people would forget their priorities if they were treated with such devotion, much less him.
However, the past was the past, especially in front of Jiang Shuyao. It was self-evident why Yue Xia would mention their past. Shi Qingyin didn't even furrow his brow. He indifferently said, "Is that important?"
What? It was a cliche and dog-blooded drama again. Still, their audience watched with gusto.
Yue Xia didn't seem affected by the sarcastic comment. She was still dedicated to her work and maintained her expression. Choked with emotion, she said, "I've always… always watched you. Since we were kids, I've never looked away from you. But you never noticed me."
Shi Qingyin impatiently said, "That's none of my business."
"Do you remember high school? How I was depressed because the teacher scolded me? Your hand reached out to me." Yue Xia was engrossed in her acting. "You gave me hot water with brown sugar. You tutored me, passed the ball to me, pulled up my quilt. From then on, you were an angel in my heart. You were clearly so close yet so far away."
"Haven’t you said enough?" Shi Qingyin frowned.
… And when did he give her hot water with brown sugar and tutor her? Did she lose her mind?
"I've always been chasing after you. Do you know how devastated I was during those years that you were gone?!" Yue Xia's voice was resounding as she silently shed tears. "For you, I tried my best to get close to people that might have your information. I've waited for you for so long, and what I got was the news of your engagement. Do you know how morally corrupt he is behind your back? Ahh! I can't accept it!"
"..." Shi Qingyin wasn't the only one confused now. The more the guests heard, the more they felt something was off.
Shi Qingyin angrily shouted, "Stop pestering me! I-"
Before he could finish speaking, Yue Xia interrupted him, "I know this will make things difficult for you, but Shuyao, please don't get engaged to him. Please? This is my lifelong request."
Her crying was devoid of emotion. Her acting was terrible, but under this shocking turn of events that caused everyone's brain to crash into the blue screen of death, no one noticed this flaw.
The system: "?"
Jiang Shuyao covered her mouth in shock. "?!"
Shi Qingyin: "?!!"
Everyone present: "?!!!"
Yue Qing, who had just rushed here in anger: "?!!!!"
[Warning! Level 1 warning! The plot has drastically changed! Please immediately avoid it!]
However, it was too late.
Jiang Shuyao looked at Yue Xia, who was in tears and looked like she was about to run into a pillar due to emotional instability. Although she really couldn't remember her, she believed that such a pure young woman would never lie to her.
So then, when she had met her in that room, was it because she came to see her?
Compared to her own affairs, it was obvious that the young woman's mental state was more important.
Jiang Shuyao's eyes gradually glowed with maternal love. She took a deep breath and finally gently placed her hand on Yue Xia's hand.
She said, "Okay."
