One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The New Melon Field

Translator: 549690339

Ye Bingtong was so angry that she turned around and left.

Ye Xiao only felt refreshed and invigorated.

As for the harsh words Ye Bingtong had spewed, she was not without worry.

As a reader might testify, she was actually quite scared.

But what could she do?

The female supporting character always had to confront the female lead at some point.

Ye Xiao flipped through the plot and had a rough idea about what Ye Bingtong would do next.

Tsk tsk tsk.

This afternoon, Ye Bingtong had made plans to have tea with Chen Yueyue.

This Chen Yueyue was also a female lead in the book.

Ye Bingtong and she were best friends for life.

How close were they?

For this best friend, Ye Bingtong wouldn’t hesitate to backstab her own brother.

Her poor big brother hadn’t come home last night.

Ye Xiao glanced at the plot of the book, where last night, Chen Yueyue suddenly felt unwell, and her big brother, out of concern, stayed to take care of her.

Of course, as the female lead, everything about Chen Yueyue belonged to the male lead.

Her big brother merely slept on the floor for the night.

Today’s plot:

It was about the two female leads sharing their feelings, being moved by each other’s love stories, and making a pledge to support one another.

This grand scene.

She probably wouldn’t witness it.

Just enjoy the drama from within the plot then.

In the afternoon.

After attending two classes, Ye Bingtong left early.

Ye Xiao was in no hurry to leave.

She had nearly suffered at Pei Yue’s hands in the morning, so her classmates were all very caring towards her; Ye Xiao took the opportunity to strengthen their bonds.

In the plot:

This class of hers would later produce several entertainment industry celebrities who would all become part of Ye Bingtong’s network.

Of course, the focus of the book was romance, and Ye Bingtong’s career was only briefly mentioned and somewhat vague.

But that’s okay.

She would take over this network first. Whether it would be useful or not didn’t matter; it was always good to have an extra option.

Ye Xiao heaved a sigh.

She had no choice.

As a female supporting character, despite having the upper hand everywhere now, she was still far from truly changing her fate.

More assistance was better than less.

After briefly bonding with her classmates, Ye Xiao was ready to return to the Ye Family.

The driver was already waiting early, and just as Ye Xiao was about to call the driver over, suddenly, a steady voice sounded.

“Miss Ye. We meet again.”

Ye Xiao, with a feeling of realization, looked up.

It was indeed Gu Yan.

Gu Yan smiled slightly, “Was the video I provided of any use?”

Ye Xiao was not surprised and her eyes curved, “So it was you, I thought it was sent by Gu Cheng.”

Gu Yan looked at Ye Xiao, his gaze deep.

He was quite surprised that his younger brother, Gu Cheng, would have someone tail Ye Bingtong and even capture a confirmation video.

He had even begun to wonder if his brother had also been reincarnated.

But after meeting Ye Xiao at the hospital, he no longer had such doubts.

Gu Cheng hadn’t reincarnated, he had simply heard Ye Xiao’s true thoughts.

This Ye Xiao, could it be that she, like him, had reincarnated?

It seemed likely, yet also not quite.

After all, her talk of male and female supporting characters was indeed a bit strange.

“Miss Ye,” Gu Yan said tentatively, “this time, may I have the honor of inviting you to enjoy afternoon tea?”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but mutter in her heart.

[Afternoon tea? What’s the point? I don’t want to go. All I want is to go home and flop down. But… if it’s Shijiu we’re talking about, then I’m interested! That’s where Ye Bingtong and Chen Yueyue are meeting up!]

Hearing this, Gu Yan naturally responded, “How about that Shijiu then?”

Ye Xiao: “???”

She looked at Gu Yan in shock.

Damn.

Could this man read minds?

How come he understood her so well!

Bringing up Shijiu out of the blue would have been odd…

But if Gu Yan took her there, then it had nothing to do with her.

[What to do? Immediately agreeing doesn’t seem quite right either. It would make me look so eager for this afternoon tea. As girls, we should retain some dignity. Perhaps a royal “Please honor us with your presence”?]

Ye Xiao was struggling with this thought.

A hint of amusement flickered in Gu Yan’s eyes as he sincerely said, “Please honor us with your presence.”

Ye Xiao was stunned; she looked at Gu Yan, completely shocked.

Gu Yan earnestly explained, “This meme has been quite popular recently.”

Ye Xiao cleared her throat lightly, “Mr. Gu, you don’t seem to be the type with fast internet.”

“Just got a 5G phone yesterday.” Gu Yan smoothly continued the conversation, then opened the car door, offering a slight smile, “Princess, shall we?”

Instantly, Ye Xiao felt as if all the eyes in the world were on her, and she was thunderstruck.

She replied with feigned dignity, “Our family’s driver is already waiting for me.”

Gu Yan said, “No worries. I’ll call your uncle right now.”

Gu Yan indeed made the call.

On the other end, Ye Mingcheng was baffled, and he subconsciously agreed.

Gu Yan flashed a slight smile, “All set.”

Ye Xiao coughed lightly.

[It’s not like I really want this afternoon tea. The main thing is… there’s gossip there! How could I possibly resist?]

Ye Xiao tilted her chin up slightly, “Alright, since you insist, I’ll grant you this honor.”

“Thank you,” Gu Yan responded seriously.

Shijiu was a small café offering coffee, milk tea, and various sweet treats, all priced well above market rate, catering to a chic and atmospheric vibe.

But as far as Ye Xiao was concerned,

this café was now an entire field of melons!

She even knew that Chen Yueyue and Ye Bingtong were sitting right now at the most secluded table by the window.

According to the story, the two were about to get to the main point any minute now.

However, Shijiu’s booths were separated by screens, which were pretty good at soundproofing. Ye Xiao had already chosen a nearby seat, but she couldn’t hear anything.

[Ah, such a juicy melon, yet unreachable! Wanting to eat but cannot—such is the epitome of loneliness~~ Everybody sing with me.]

Ye Xiao appeared normal on the outside, but was internally freaking out.

Gu Yan was about to say something unaffectedly when suddenly, he saw a shadow in a black cloak that looked rather sneaky.

Huh, is that…

Without any hesitation, Gu Yan approached, “Berlin?”

Ye Bolin’s body stiffened, and as he turned around, an awkward expression appeared on his face, “What a coincidence!”

He had intended to sneak away upon seeing Ye Xiao and Gu Yan arrive.

Unfortunately for him, Gu Yan’s eyes were too sharp.

“Big brother?” Ye Xiao was also taken aback.

What was Ye Bolin doing here!

Ye Bolin tried to keep calm, “How about we find a place and talk slowly?”

Gu Yan nodded with a smile, “That would be splendid.”

Even though they knew Chen Yueyue and Ye Bingtong couldn’t see them, all three subconsciously bent over, sneaking around like guilty dogs.

Since sitting closest didn’t allow them to overhear anything, the three found the furthest booth, pulled the screen shut, strategically ensuring superb concealment.

“Big brother, why are you here?” Ye Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

[What’s happening, have all the supporting male characters awakened? Could it be that big brother has also discovered the green hat on his head? Wait, why did I think also?]
