83. Chapter 83: It Really Was the Second Male Lead Helping Her

!!!

Luo Xinian heard his younger sister's inner voice and his heart jolted. Although he had heard Xixi mention Suna's death ending back on the deserted island, she hadn't said it was going to happen immediately. But listening to this girl's inner voice now, it seemed like if they didn't go, the person would be gone in an instant!

What is going on?

Can the ending actually be advanced?

Luo Xinian tried hard to calm himself down and said, "It's no use for you to go now. The leaked video has sparked huge controversy online, and now reporters and media are everywhere interviewing her. She definitely won't allow outsiders to see her. Even if she wanted to see you, her brother certainly wouldn't let you see her."

"If he won't let me see her, I'll sneak in to see her."

Luo Xixi said this and was about to leave again.

Luo Xinian stopped her, however, and said, "You are also one of the protagonists of this controversy. Although she posted to defend you and minimize your impact, it's best you don't appear in public right now. How about this: I'll use my connections to try and contact Suna for you. As long as a meeting is possible, I'll take you to see her immediately. That's better than you running out recklessly right now. Suna got herself mired in this public opinion storm precisely to defend you; don't let her painstaking efforts go to waste."

"Third Brother..."

Luo Xixi hadn't expected that her Third Brother wouldn't blame her at all, but instead would help her like this. She was moved and said, "Thank you, Third Brother."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Luo Xinian ruffled Luo Xixi's hair with a huff and said, "Didn't I say that family shouldn't say thank you! You promised Big Brother you'd be good, and now you're like this in front of me! Besides, Suna helped you, so of course I can't just watch her die."

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi was stunned upon hearing this. She stared at Luo Xinian and said, "Third Brother, what do you mean by that?"

【Can't just watch the great beauty die? How could Third Brother think that? He wouldn't be able to read my mind, would he!!】

!!!

Seeing that Luo Xixi was suspicious, Luo Xinian quickly said, "This matter has blown up so much, isn't it just forcing Suna onto a dead end? So, is there any problem with me saying I can't watch her go to her death?"

"Oh, I see..."

Luo Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Xinian immediately said again, "Alright, I'm done chatting nonsense with you. I'm going to contact my people now to see if I can get in touch with Suna. You stay home and behave!"

"Mm..."

Luo Xixi nodded obediently. She looked at Luo Xinian with eager eyes and said, "Third Brother, give me a reply as soon as possible, okay? I'm quite worried about Sister Na."

"Got it!"

After saying that.

Luo Xinian went off to contact people.

Luo Xixi stayed at home and opened her phone to check the comments again.

Now the internet was full of news about Suna, and the comments about her were mostly negative, while the criticism regarding herself was almost nowhere to be seen.

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi was stunned at the sight. She quickly searched for keywords about herself, only to find that very few people were discussing her.

This situation didn't make sense at all!

Even if the great beauty had taken the bullet for her, it shouldn't have attracted all the fire, right?

【Tong'er! Why have the negative comments about me online decreased so much?】

Luo Xixi hurriedly asked the Baby System.

The Baby System came online and said, 【Host, I just verified it. Someone is helping you block negative comments about you, and at the same time, they are using internet trolls to actively fight the smear campaign for you, so your reputation is actually improving now.】

【What did you say!?】

Luo Xixi was shocked after hearing this and asked hurriedly, 【Who is doing this?!】

【Um... this, I... I can't find out...】

Hearing the Baby System stuttering, Luo Xixi felt something was fishy. She took a breath and asked suspiciously, 【Tong'er, are you hiding something from me?】

【Hm? I'm not! (⊙v⊙)】

The Baby System said innocently.

【Really?】

Luo Xixi didn't believe it and started to gaslight her system, saying, 【Tong'er, we are good partners who share one heart. I trust you completely. You wouldn't be hiding anything from me, would you? You said before that the system exists to help the Host complete tasks. I thought you were the type who held nothing back from me, so you definitely wouldn't hide anything from me, right?】

【I...】

The Baby System said with a guilty conscience, 【I, I really do want to help you complete your tasks, Host...】

Seeing that this little idiot didn't answer her question directly, Luo Xixi knew it was indeed hiding something from her. She narrowed her eyes and continued to press, 【So no matter what it is, you won't hide it from me, right?】

【This...】

【Tong'er, answer my question directly!】

【Woooo...】

The Baby System couldn't hold out anymore and cried, 【I'm sorry, Host, I really am hiding something from you. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~】

She knew it!!

【Speak! What exactly is it? You know who is helping me behind the scenes, right?】

【Mm...】

The Baby System said in a small voice, 【Actually, it's the second male lead helping you fight the smear campaign, but I was afraid you'd think the second male lead had ulterior motives again, so I didn't tell you.】

After hearing this, Luo Xixi didn't feel very surprised at all.

It was an expected answer.

The second male lead had helped her many times on the deserted island. Luo Xixi could actually foresee him continuing to help her now that she was being smeared by the entire internet.

She thought for a moment, then took out her phone and dialed Yan Yu's number.

Almost as soon as she called, Yan Yu picked up on the other end.

"Hello, Xixi."

On the phone, Yan Yu's voice was still crisp and clear, carrying a smile, "Good morning, why not sleep a little longer?"

Luo Xixi did not waste words with Yan Yu, getting straight to the point: "Are you helping me fight the smear campaign online?"

"..."

Yan Yu was silent for a few seconds, then asked in return: "Xixi, how did you know about this?"

Now it was Luo Xixi's turn to be silent.

Although she knew Yan Yu had a system, and Yan Yu likely knew she had a system too, the Baby System had said that hosts could not discuss topics involving systems and tasks with each other.

So she made up a reason, saying: "I have my own channels, you don't need to ask, anyway I know it's you helping me behind the scenes."

Yan Yu was clearly just giving Luo Xixi a way out to smooth over this loophole; since Luo Xixi had randomly fabricated a reason, he did not ask further, and instead admitted with a smile: "Mm, it is me helping you. There aren't many voices attacking you online anymore, Xixi, are you happy?"

Luo Xixi said: "Although I am very grateful for your help, Suna is currently being smeared by the entire internet and is deep in a public opinion storm."

Yan Yu immediately distanced himself, saying: "The video leaked online wasn't posted by me, nor did I hire internet trolls to smear Suna. This incident of hers was caused by herself and has nothing to do with me."

"I know it has nothing to do with you..."

Luo Xixi just didn't understand; was this person afraid she would think he was playing tricks behind her back and ruining his reputation? Being in such a rush to distance himself.

"That's good."

Yan Yu laughed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Then you can't dislike me anymore."

"I don't dislike you either..."

Luo Xixi muttered.

Yan Yu: "Heh."

Luo Xixi: "??"

This person actually 'heh'-ed her! He actually 'heh'-ed her! By what right is he 'heh'-ing her, what did she say wrong?!

If the situation weren't inappropriate, Luo Xixi would really want to press Yan Yu on why he 'heh'-ed her, but Suna's matter was more on Luo Xixi's mind right now, so she could only hold it in and try asking: "A-Yu, since you can help me fight the smear campaign, can you help Suna too?"
