127. Chapter 127: Let's Just End It All

"Heh..."

Hearing Sheng Tinglan's promise to Luo Xixi, Yan Yu let out another cold scoff and said with a sarcastic tone, "What a load of 'won't be influenced by anyone'! Where do you get the nerve to say such things? Just because you're a guy with no willpower? Even Xixi's third brother is better than you. You're worthy of saying you love Xixi? You're not worthy of a damn thing!"

Sheng Tinglan was furious, "Yan Yu! Is there any room for you to butt in on matters between Xixi and me? What right do you have to still be sitting here? Get out!!"

"You tell me to get out, so I get out? Who do you think you are? Do you have the authority to say such things to me over Xixi's head? Absolutely ridiculous!"

Yan Yu crossed his arms, crossed his legs, and smiled in an incredibly punchable way.

Sheng Tinglan hated Yan Yu so much he felt like he was about to bleed; ever since his previous life, he had loathed this man. It was one thing that he always suddenly appeared by Xixi's side, but he also showed undisguised malice toward him, always badmouthing him and predicting his downfall.

And then, in this world, he was haunting Xixi again, wagging his tongue and fanning the flames, trying to drive a wedge between him and Xixi.

If it weren't for Xixi's sake, he really wanted to kill this man!!

"Alright, can you two stop arguing?"

Luo Xixi already had a headache, and the fact that these two kept bickering in her ears made her head feel like it was about to explode.

Seeing Luo Xixi feeling troubled, Sheng Tinglan knew that if he kept arguing with Yan Yu, it would definitely make Xixi unhappy. So, his gaze flickered, and he changed his strategy. He sat back down in his chair and apologized to Luo Xixi, saying, "I'm sorry, Xixi. I won't disturb you. It's just that someone opposite keeps targeting me, and I couldn't hold back, so I retorted. But if you don't like it, I won't say anything more. Let him say whatever he wants about me; I don't care."

"Hehehehe..."

Seeing this male green tea acting all fake in front of Luo Xixi again, Yan Yu wanted to land a punch on him.

It was the same in the previous life.

Gu Chexi was always sowing discord and acting like a green tea in front of Luo Xixi, causing him and Luo Xixi to argue endlessly. In the end, Luo Xixi even wanted to break ties with him for the sake of this male green tea! It was also because of that time that he left in a huff, only to find that Luo Xixi had already died when he returned after cooling off.

Yan Yu was disgusted and repulsed by Sheng Tinglan's green tea act, saying, "Sheng Tinglan, stop the act! Do you think Luo Xixi will still be fooled by you?"

"Huh?..."

Suddenly being cued, Luo Xixi was stunned.

Yan Yu immediately turned his head to glare at her and asked, "You've got to be kidding me, right? Luo Xixi, don't tell me you've been fooled by this man again! Why don't you ever learn?? He's just a green tea prick!!"

"Yan Yu, watch your mouth!"

Sheng Tinglan dropped his aggrieved act from in front of Luo Xixi and was furious at Yan Yu, "I've repeatedly tolerated you not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want Xixi to be put in a difficult position! If you keep insulting me with malicious words, I'm not a soft persimmon for you to squeeze either!"

"Heh, look at that. Just a moment ago he was telling Luo Xixi he would tolerate it, and in less than a minute he's like this again. Is this what you meant when you told Luo Xixi you didn't care? You really are used to being two-faced. Luo Xixi, open your eyes and take a good look—this is this man's true face!"

"Yan Yu, shut your mouth!"

"Who do you think you are? Telling me to shut up? Truly hilarious!"

The two men started arguing again. Luo Xixi covered her ears, feeling incredibly annoyed, but in the end, she still said to Yan Yu, "Alright, Yan Yu, can you stop targeting Sheng Tinglan?"

"Luo Xixi, you..."

Seeing that Luo Xixi stopped him first, Yan Yu was extremely surprised.

His face darkened instantly, and he stared intently at Luo Xixi, asking, "Why did you stop me first? I'm targeting Sheng Tinglan? Which word I said was wrong? Luo Xixi, have you gone soft on this man again?!"

Sheng Tinglan, however, was very happy now.

He shot a provocative, victorious smile at Yan Yu and then smiled gently at Luo Xixi, saying, "Xixi, I won't argue with him anymore. As long as you can understand me, I don't care what anyone else says."

"..."

Luo Xixi glanced at the furious Yan Yu, then looked at the beaming Sheng Tinglan, and let out a long sigh in her heart.

She understood why Yan Yu was so indignant; in fact, what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable. Even her third brother could increase his Favorability Value toward her under the influence of the heroine Luo Shiqing, yet Sheng Tinglan hated her to the very end.

When it comes down to it, it's just that he didn't love her deeply enough, right?

But Luo Xixi didn't want to be angry at Sheng Tinglan anymore. After learning that she was once a paper character herself, she suddenly saw things differently.

What kind of love could an NPC have, whose behavior and thoughts constantly change according to the plot?

It was all a written script.

They couldn't even be considered living, breathing people.

But thanks to her adoptive parents and people like Gu Chexi, she had gained Self-Awareness; she could feel sadness and pain. From a certain perspective, she owed her life to them.

Just for this reason, Luo Xixi felt that everything from the previous life could be written off.

So she didn't want Yan Yu to keep targeting Sheng Tinglan. After all, Sheng Tinglan was the male lead in this story and was very capable. If he were truly provoked, how would Yan Yu have the ability to contend with him?

And how should she put it?

Clearly, she was the one who was the victim, so why was this person even more agitated than her?

"Xixi, as long as you are willing to forgive me, I can do anything for you. From now on, I won't have any contact with Luo Shiqing anymore. Whatever you want me to do, I will obey."

Sheng Tinglan said to Luo Xixi with deep affection.

"Haha, is that so? Thanks..."

Luo Xixi gave a sheepish smile; she was still a bit at a loss regarding Sheng Tinglan's change.

After all, just before tonight, this person had wanted to kill her. Even though they had recognized each other and confirmed they were both from the previous life, at the end of that life, this person had hated her to death.

Now that he was suddenly being so good to her, Luo Xixi really wasn't used to it.

【Tong'er, the plot has completely gone off the rails now, broken to the point where even its own mother wouldn't recognize it. What do you think we should do next?】

Luo Xixi asked the Baby System.

And the Baby System now felt like it wanted to die. It was truly terrified of this group of people plotting so loudly! It only had one chance; once the mission was judged a failure, it would be forcibly destroyed. Just now, the Baby System felt like these people were repeatedly jumping on the edge of its death.

It was lucky it didn't have a heart, otherwise, it would have definitely been scared into a heart attack.

Now that the Host was asking it what to do, how would it know what to do?

The Baby System was scared to the point of being on its last breath, and said listlessly: 【I don't know, Host. I'm just a little system that just started doing missions. I've never heard of a situation like yours before. Whatever, let it be, do whatever you want.】

【...】

Hearing the Baby System's "lying flat" response, Luo Xixi was speechless.

This brat.

It used to always encourage her to do her missions well, so why was it now even more "lying flat" than her?

However, Luo Xixi also knew that the Baby System probably couldn't handle such a complex situation; after all, both the male lead and the second male lead knew her, this Cannon Fodder, and neither of them were following the plot with the female lead anymore. How the plot would develop after this was impossible to predict, and she could only wait for System Headquarters to rationalize the current plot.

After chatting with the Baby System, Luo Xixi looked again at Yan Yu, whom she had been ignoring. She had just stopped him from arguing with Sheng Tinglan, and he had been extremely angry, so why had he suddenly gone quiet?

He wouldn't be sulking at her again, would he?

"Yan..."

Just as Luo Xixi spoke up, wanting to persuade Yan Yu again—

"Truly speechless, how did things turn out like this?"

She only heard Yan Yu's icy voice suddenly pop out.

?

Luo Xixi hadn't figured out what was going on when she saw Yan Yu look up; as if he had made some sort of resolution, he looked at Luo Xixi and said, "Let's just let all of this end."

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi was incredibly surprised upon hearing Yan Yu's words.

Let all of this end?

What does that mean?

Just at this moment.

【Ding——————】

The Baby System suddenly issued a desperate warning, saying to Luo Xixi: 【It's bad, Host——】

But before the Baby System could finish its sentence, its voice came to an abrupt halt. Luo Xixi was even more bewildered, and she hurriedly called out: 【Tong'er??】
