122. Chapter 122: No Room for Anyone Else in His Eyes

"..."

Yan Yu watched Sheng Tinglan walking straight toward them, his eyes darkening slightly. He knew very well that if this man was truly targeting Luo Xixi, then even if Luo Xixi slipped away now, he would still come knocking later.

Since that was the case.

It was better to see what he was planning; at least for now, he was still by Xixi's side.

So Yan Yu grabbed Luo Xixi's wrist directly and said, "What are you running for? He isn't going to eat you."

"Hey!!"

Seeing Yan Yu clutching her wrist tightly, Luo Xixi was so angry that her eyes widened a fraction.

Was this person truly oblivious, or was he just pretending for her sake?

She had previously attempted to assassinate the male lead, so the male lead might actually eat her now. Luo Xixi did not want to clash with the male lead in public.

"Tinglan..."

Luo Shiqing had originally been puzzled about where Sheng Tinglan was going, but when she fixed her gaze on the direction he was walking, she immediately noticed Luo Xixi standing on the balcony, and her face instantly turned gloomy.

That bitch Luo Xixi!

She was actually here too!

So Tinglan was going to settle the score with that bitch, right?

Thinking that Luo Xixi was about to be in trouble, Luo Shiqing was instantly filled with excitement, and she followed Sheng Tinglan over.

A crowd of onlookers, unaware of the current situation, stared unblinkingly at Sheng Tinglan, wanting to see what this man intended to do at Sheng Laoyezi's birthday banquet.

Sheng Tinglan, however, paid no mind to the crowd's gaze. His eyes were locked straight onto Luo Xixi, who was being held back by Yan Yu. Seeing her display an expression of annoyance and indignation toward Yan Yu, for some reason, he superimposed her expression onto Xixi's.

When Xixi was angry, she had the same expression.

Why hadn't he realized before that the two of them were so similar?

Could the Luo Xixi in this story be Xixi?

This thought sprouted in Sheng Tinglan's mind like madness, making him unable to stop himself from walking toward the path of the collapsing plot.

The "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" system detected Sheng Tinglan's abnormal behavior and immediately issued a warning to him.

【Host, abnormal behavior detected. You have deviated from the plot trajectory. Please explain.】

But Sheng Tinglan turned a deaf ear and continued walking toward Luo Xixi.

【Host, please explain. Host, please explain.】

The system chattered incessantly, but Sheng Tinglan directly blocked the signals emitted by the system.

Generally speaking.

If the system wanted to communicate with the host, it would specifically pull the host into a "Chat Room"—a space for mental communication between the host and the system. But if the host refused to communicate with the system, as long as they refused to enter the "Chat Room," the system could not send signals to the host.

Sheng Tinglan hadn't failed to guess before that Luo Xixi might be Xixi, but it was precisely because of this system's interference that he could never be certain. Now, however, he wanted to rely on his own judgment.

Whether this person was truly the one he wanted to resurrect.

After all, if he could be chosen by the system and transmigrate into a book, it was naturally possible for Xixi as well.

In the blink of an eye.

Sheng Tinglan arrived at the balcony.

Yan Yu blocked Luo Xixi behind him again, then looked at Sheng Tinglan with a half-smile, confronting the man.

Sheng Tinglan could no longer see Luo Xixi's figure, and his eyes immediately turned cold and heavy. He raised his gaze to scan Yan Yu, his voice as cold as ice, and said to Yan Yu, "Move aside."

Hearing Sheng Tinglan's words, Luo Xixi felt like dying.

He really was here for her!

But how could Yan Yu obediently listen to Sheng Tinglan?

He gave a chilly smile and said to Sheng Tinglan, "Why should I listen to you?"

"..."

Sheng Tinglan's eyes darkened. He looked through Yan Yu's body at Luo Xixi behind him and said in a deep voice, "Luo Xixi, come out, or I cannot guarantee that your Luo Family will remain unscathed."

Luo Xixi: "!!!"

Damn it!

This despicable male lead, he only knows how to use other people's weaknesses as threats!

Because the Luo Family was mentioned, Luo Xixi had to step out from behind Yan Yu to confront Sheng Tinglan. However, not wanting to lose face, Luo Xixi did not show any weakness in front of Sheng Tinglan. She lifted her chin and said to him, "I'm out, so what? Do you have business with me?"

???

Seeing that Luo Xixi felt no guilt at all in front of Sheng Tinglan, and was even acting this arrogant, Luo Shiqing was nearly furious to the point of death.

Before Sheng Tinglan could speak, she laughed in anger and said, "Luo Xixi, you broke into Tinglan's home in the middle of the night to commit violence and injure people. Now that you are in front of the victim, how can you still be so righteous? Doesn't your conscience hurt at all?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, but now Luo Xixi was also furious.

She turned her head to look at Luo Shiqing and sneered, "So you actually know how to talk about conscience! Luo Shiqing, you harmed my eldest brother like that; did your conscience hurt? If we're talking about conscience, I certainly have plenty, but yours was probably eaten by a dog long ago!"

"You!!!"

Luo Shiqing's eyes rounded, and she looked at Luo Xixi in disbelief.

She hadn't expected Luo Xixi to dare say such things in front of so many people. Was she trying to completely tear off the mask between them?

And Luo Xixi was indeed acting a bit reckless.

Anyway, the plot had already collapsed so badly that even its own mother wouldn't recognize it. Besides, it was originally said that there would be at most two Transmigrators in a Book World, but now there were four! The book was practically being transmigrated into a sieve! Everyone was following the plot according to their own ideas; why should she still care about the integrity of the plot?

She was going all out!

To hell with this broken story, she would enjoy herself first!

"You what? Feeling guilty? If you're feeling guilty, then shut your mouth. I get annoyed just hearing you speak in that affected, pretentious way!"

Luo Xixi was now completely unreserved toward Luo Shiqing.

Luo Shiqing still wanted to maintain her persona of being kind and fragile; her eyes immediately filled with tears, and then she looked at Sheng Tinglan with a choked sob, saying, "Tinglan, look at my sister, I only wanted to stand up for you, but she... Tinglan?"

Halfway through her words, Luo Shiqing suddenly discovered that Sheng Tinglan seemed to be ignoring her entirely, his eyes fixed steadily on Luo Xixi, as if his eyes could only hold this woman at this moment.

This made Luo Shiqing's heart suddenly give a fierce jolt.

An indescribable sense of crisis surged toward her like a tide.

"Tinglan, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Shiqing hurriedly grabbed Sheng Tinglan again to ask, but Sheng Tinglan still did not pay any attention to Luo Shiqing.

No one knew how much Sheng Tinglan wanted to ask Luo Xixi directly right now: was she the person he had always wanted to resurrect?

However, because of the system's regulations, Transmigrators are absolutely forbidden from communicating about matters related to system tasks, otherwise they will be directly logged out of the world.

Then how exactly could he confirm it?

Suddenly.

A thought flashed through Sheng Tinglan's mind.

Sheng Tinglan felt as if the blood in his entire body was about to stop flowing; he looked at Luo Xixi, then opened his mouth, and a name spilled out from his lips.

"Gu Chexi."
