Title: The OOC Villainess and the White Moonlight Heroine are BFFs
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 9 - Eh, I really didn't do anything this time (1)
"By the way." Yue Xia finally captured the blind spot. "Where's the red rose? Didn't she and Shi Qingyin meet at a bar?"
[The condition hasn't been met yet. The male protagonist must be completely disheartened before meeting the red rose and having a one night stand with her while drunk. That's how their ill-fated relationship begins.]
"Oh, I got it." Yue Xia repeated with a calm expression, "For him to be completely disheartened, he must have lost use of that. And to still have a one night stand, how scary…"
The system shouted as loud as possible: [Enough! Stop joking about that!]
What evil had it done in a past life to meet a host like her right after being born?!
"Ding" For the very first time ever, someone sent a message to Yue Xia.
Yue Xia picked up her phone, but she didn't know who the other party was. The note she gave that other was a green tea emoji, which was as crude as it was simple. They must not have a good relationship.
【（green tea emoji）】 : I heard what happened today. Everyone is so worried about you. Did you manage to talk to Shi-gege in the end?
【（green tea emoji）】 : How about you bring Shuyao to our party tomorrow? We haven't met her yet.
In fact, Yue Xia didn't understand why they had so many parties every week, but it was rude to not reply. She casually replied "I'm okay." The other party hastily sent another message.
【（green tea emoji）】 : That's good. What's Shuyao like? She must have a good personality, otherwise Shi-gege wouldn't like her so much.
Yue Xia couldn't stand her cutesy address for Shi Qingyin. She hadn't incessantly recognized guys as gege after third grade.
The system was responsible for introducing backgrounds. [The other party is Zhuang Xiaohan. She dislikes and disapproves of you for various reasons.]
"Various reasons?" Yue Xia changed the note on her phone and asked, "What are the reasons?"
[You've staged fake accidents to get attention from the men that she and her friend group like.] The system told the answer that Yue Xia least wanted to hear.
"No way." Yue Xia was so tired. [Don't you find that logic very strange? I'm supposed to be infatuated with Shi Qingyin to the point that I would rather die if I can't be with him. How could I be in the mood to go around and stage fake accidents with a bunch of guys?"
The system retorted with a guilty conscience: [Umm, the male protagonist can still have one night stands when he's completely disheartened.]
Yue Xia, who had her mocking words used against her: "?"
Fine.
Although the other party didn't get a reply, she didn't slack off.
【Zhuang Xiaohan】 : Are you there?
【Yue Xia】 : goodbye.jpg
【Zhuang Xiaohan】 : When will you and Shuyao come tomorrow?
【Yue Xia】 : goodbye.jpg
【Zhuang Xiaohan】 : When will you come tomorrow?
【Yue Xia】 : 3 PM.
【Zhuang Xiaohan】 : …
The other party didn't reply further. After Yue Xia washed up, she went to bed, pulled up her blanket, and slept like a pig. Not even an earthquake would be able to disturb her sleep.
She had no idea that many people, including a system, were tossing and turning tonight because of her.

The next day.
Yue Xia woke up. Refreshed from her sleep, she went downstairs and quietly ate poached eggs.
The Yue's didn't care much for ostentation or having too many servants in their home. There were only staff separately responsible for cooking and cleaning. These servants weren't live-in employees and came at their respective times.
Yue Qing was responsible for most of the family's companies and enterprises. Their parents had been vacationing in Scandinavia for the past few days. After finding out what Yue Xia had done, they quickly booked flights yesterday to return home. It would be a long plane ride, and they probably wouldn't be back until the evening.
Yue Qing had left the villa early in the morning and probably gone to work. After finishing breakfast by herself, Yue Xia suddenly had a thought. "System, I should work on my career."
[...] The system was truly afraid of her. It was already prepared to burn incense in congratulations if she was willing to complete her tasks. [You won't have to worry about money in the Yue's.]
"It's not good to mooch off parents." Yue Xia furrowed her brow. [Besides, no matter what, parents will have objections. There's a difference between doing poorly at work and not being willing to do it.]
The system: [Your parents won't have objections.]
Yue Xia: "?"
Why did it say that in such a confident tone…?
Her doubts disappeared after receiving a video call from her parents.
Yue Deliang's appearance and style didn't match his wife and kids. Even when he wasn't angry, he gave off the impression of seriousness and the majesty of a leader. Yue Xia and him stared at each other for a long time. Just when she thought the video was frozen, he finally spoke. His deep and resounding voice sounded a bit off from usual. "Although people can't help the gender they like…"
Yue Xia thought the latter half of his sentence was to suggest that she go see a doctor, but things took a different turn. Yue Deliang calmly said, "Your mom and I already made an appointment with a psychiatrist. We'll come back after the appointment."
Yue Xia: "?"
Li Meizhu, who was sitting next to him, moved closer and said, "Xiaxia, it's okay. Mom and Dad will always support you!"
Yue Xia: "..."
Why are you guys going to see a psychiatrist? So weird!
