86. Chapter 86: Heart-pleasing! The Male Lead's First Mission Failure

It's actually Suna!

Seeing that the great beauty had actually taken the initiative to call her, Luo Xixi felt a jolt in her heart. She answered immediately and asked with concern, "Hello? Sister Na, are you okay?"

"I'm alright..."

Suna seemed to still be in a daze. Clearly, she hadn't expected the reversal that happened this afternoon either. She said, "I saw that you called me, but my phone was confiscated this morning, so I couldn't get in touch with you. Now that the crisis is temporarily resolved, I finally had the chance to get my phone back and call you."

Hearing Suna say the crisis was temporarily resolved, Luo Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I see. As long as you're okay."

Suna paused for a long moment, then let out a long breath and said with lingering fear, "You saw what happened on the internet today, right? I thought I was doomed this time. I never expected someone to leak a video that helped us clear our names. I wonder which righteous person it was."

Luo Xixi thought sheepishly: It was that righteous person, the second male lead!

It is quite strange, come to think of it.

In the original plot, it was the second male lead who dealt a heavy blow to the great beauty, causing her to be mired in scandals and ruined, eventually leading her to die of depression. Who would have thought that now, it was the second male lead who helped the great beauty clear her name, allowing her to avoid a fatal ending.

Luo Xixi could see it now: the second male lead really had no intention of following the plot.

Any plot he was involved in was always earth-shattering.

"Xixi, do you have any leads?"

Suna asked tentatively again.

Of course, she didn't truly believe that some righteous person had stepped forward to help her clear her name. In this world, who does anything without some purpose or benefit? Suna wasn't that naive yet.

Regarding the video from the afternoon, people in her company were completely unaware of it. If other friends had helped, they probably would have told her already, but there had been no word. That was why Suna guessed that it was likely Xixi who had stepped in to help her.

"Ah? This..."

Luo Xixi thought to herself: This was the second male lead helping out. But should she tell the great beauty that the second male lead was the one who acted? What if the great beauty asked why the second male lead would help her?

It felt like it would be such a hassle to explain.

In fact, even Luo Xixi hadn't figured out what the second male lead's motives were, why he had actually agreed to help, or what benefit there was for him in completely changing the great beauty's ending and altering the plot. Luo Xixi was completely in the dark about all of this.

So, Luo Xixi simply pretended not to know. "That... I'm not really sure either. Maybe there really was a kind-hearted person who couldn't stand seeing you being smeared and slandered, Sister Na, so they acted out of justice."

"Is that so?"

"Mm-hmm!!"

"..."

Suna knew Luo Xixi wasn't telling the truth, but she wasn't in front of this girl right now and couldn't read her mind. Besides, after this incident, although public opinion had been suppressed, Suna was still grounded and not allowed to go out, so she couldn't meet with Xixi.

No choice.

She would just have to find this girl after her grounding was lifted.

"Alright then, I guess I'll just have to thank that righteous person in my heart for now. I hope the other party won't hide and will come forward soon. She is my benefactor, and I really hope to thank her in person."

Suna hinted to Luo Xixi.

But Luo Xixi's emotional intelligence was clearly not very high; she didn't catch Suna's hint at all and just wanted to brush the matter off quickly. She agreed repeatedly, echoing, "Mm-hmm, I hope the other party comes forward soon."

"..."

Is this girl an idiot?

Realizing that Luo Xixi hadn't understood at all, Suna sighed inwardly and said, "I have things to attend to here. Let's meet up after my grounding is lifted."

"Okay, Sister Na."

Luo Xixi agreed immediately and cheered Suna on, saying, "It's a good thing this matter was suppressed. Don't take it to heart, and you must look on the bright side! A person's life is still very long; this is just a temporary setback. You can definitely get through it. In short, never give up hope!"

"Hehe~"

Hearing Luo Xixi's words, Suna couldn't help but chuckle.

She thought of the inner thoughts she had heard from Luo Xixi before regarding her ending—it seemed she was supposed to die of depression. That must be why this girl was encouraging her so much, fearing she might lose the will to live.

Suna felt a warmth in her heart and replied, "Mm, I know. Thank you, Xixi."

"You're welcome, Sister Na."

"I'm hanging up now."

"Go ahead, goodbye Sister Na."

After hanging up with Suna, the heavy stone hanging in Luo Xixi's heart finally fell. She called out the Baby System and asked for confirmation:

【Tong'er, the great beauty's ending has changed now, right?】

The Baby System came online and reported: 【Due to the unexpected event this afternoon, Suna's personal trajectory has been altered. The fatal ending has been successfully avoided for now.】

【Phew...】

After hearing the Baby System say this, Luo Xixi felt even more at ease. 【I didn't expect it to be this easy to change the great beauty's ending. It seems much easier than I imagined.】

The Baby System said: 【Host, you are wrong to think that way.】

【Actually, being able to reverse and change the ending this time was not easy at all. The key was the video from this afternoon; it contained content entirely favorable to Suna. Plus, the fierce siege by various forces against Suna this morning caused some passersby to rebel, which led to the smooth clearing of her name this afternoon. In this matter, the second male lead played a crucial role. If not for him, Suna would have met her fatal ending in less than a month.】

【Host, the second male lead is truly formidable. His layout was interlocking. If not for him, Suna would have been completely ruined this time. It is terrifying to be an enemy of such a person, but fortunately, he seems to be on your side.】

The Baby System once again secretly blew rainbow farts for Yan Yu.

【...】

After listening to the Baby System's analysis, Luo Xixi also felt that the second male lead was quite impressive.

First of all, the timing Yan Yu chose to release the video was very clever. Furthermore, the fact that he could produce another surveillance video showed his capability. After all, who would have thought that in a place that highly valued client privacy, different hidden cameras could be exposed one after another?

The fact that he could do this showed that his network of connections was extremely vast.

However, in the story, his character setting wasn't someone with many connections—after all, he was aloof and arrogant. This meant that the second male lead had cast aside his character setting and used the system to develop his own secret forces.

Luo Xixi had to praise him; the second male lead really had some tricks up his sleeve. It seemed his mission completion rate was also quite high. Compared to her, a little good-for-nothing who just wanted to slack off, they were like heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Luo Xixi suddenly felt that her Tong'er had really hit rock bottom luck by having her as a host. If the second male lead were its host, the Baby System would have been taken to the next level already, right?

Shame, such shame.

【Host, let me tell you one more thing. You will definitely be happy.】

Just as Luo Xixi was secretly reflecting, the cheerful voice of the Baby System rang out again.

【Hmm?】

Luo Xixi was puzzled, 【What is it?】

The Baby System said: 【Because of this public opinion storm, a butterfly effect was triggered, and the male lead's club was also significantly affected as a result. In the story, his persona was originally omnipotent and invincible; he had never suffered a loss or fallen into a trap, but this time, it has dealt a considerable blow to his career!】

【Really???】

This was truly good news!

Luo Xixi was overjoyed and let out a villainous laugh: 【Hehehehehehe, heaven truly has eyes! That dog of a male lead, isn't he supposed to be so capable? He's been framing me and the great beauty behind our backs in all sorts of ways, but this time he's finally tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, hasn't he! Hahaha, he really deserves it! Ptooey!】
