“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!
