Ye Chen, Who Didn't Mourn the Cataclysmic Start for Even a Moment, Immediately Rushed to the Battlefield!

"Xiyue, Xiyue." Young Master Fei had a splitting headache. He truly could not comprehend what this female lead was talking about or why she was throwing such a groundless temper.

According to the original plot progression, she only needed to dutifully walk through the process and then live a happy life together with her Ye Chen, and that would be it.

As for himself, he could take the generous reward and return home to accompany his elderly grandmother. How wonderful of a thing this originally was!

Yet now, the female lead suddenly began to improvise freely, completely departing from the original plot settings. What was he supposed to do about this?

By then, even if he wanted to salvage the situation, he feared he would be powerless to do so.

No, he absolutely could not let such a thing happen! Young Master Fei told himself secretly that he had to find a way to get the plot back on track.

After all, this was his job!

Young Master Fei hurriedly pulled her far off to the side.

"What's wrong with you, Xiyue? Don't be angry, don't be angry. What's wrong? Tell me properly, let's communicate if we have any issues, okay?"

"Are you willing to speak like a normal person now?" Xiyue retorted unpleasantly.

"What kind of remark is that? Have I never spoken like a normal person?"

Young Master Fei muttered inwardly that it was probably because the previous villain character had been truly too obnoxious to her.

"No! The way you spoke before was just like that, perfunctory like a ghost. I felt like I was facing a rigid wooden puppet on a stage."

"Oh, never mind other things for now. It's like this, let me help you analyze it. Do you really hate me?" Young Master Fei's eyes caught the sight of Ye Chen over there looking eager to move. In order to save time and get straight to the point, he hurriedly asked cautiously.

"Yes." Xiyue answered without the slightest hesitation.

"Do you really not want to see me?"

"Yes." Still crisp and decisive.

"But look here, I've been pursuing you for two and a half years, yet I've never seen you have a boyfriend. I always figured it might be because my sincerity and perseverance toward you weren't enough, so I still thought I had a chance to be with you, but... if I had known you had a boyfriend, I definitely would have given up."

Young Master Fei began hinting frantically.

"What do you mean?" Gu Xiyue looked at Young Master Fei with a puzzled expression.

"Uh... let me give you an example. Supposing, and I mean supposing, I still really want to be your boyfriend—if you truly already have a boyfriend, then I would definitely give up without the slightest hesitation! After all, there is a kind of love called letting go; as long as you've met someone you genuinely like, I will surely give you my heartfelt blessings."

Young Master Fei considered this answer to be absolute perfection.

That way, not only could it advance their relationship further, but even if Ye Chen and Gu Xiyue really got together later on, he could still say: Xiyue, you definitely didn't genuinely like him. Was he forcing you? Don't worry, I'm coming right now to rescue you out of here!

After all, the definition of "genuinely" was right in his hands!

Besides, a mega-stud boar like Ye Chen truly treated all these female leads merely as tools and had never invested genuine feelings.

"Whose side are you on?" Gu Xiyue thought it sounded bizarre.

"Never mind that for now, answer me first!"

"If I have a boyfriend, you won't pester me anymore?" Gu Xiyue asked somewhat suspiciously. "But..."

"Sigh, that's right! As long as you 'show' that you have a boyfriend, I won't pester you anymore—no matter who that boyfriend is, even if he's the security guard at your company..."

In order to maintain his persona of deep affection, Young Master Fei specifically added: "Of course, deep down in my heart, I still hope to be able to be with you!"

A simp could let go too; as the saying went, there was a kind of love called letting go.

Having heard him out, Gu Xiyue stared at him with a cold face and without a word, wondering what she was even thinking, until she finally let out a cold snort only after making Young Master Fei's hair stand on end.

"Fine! I'll listen to you. Do it again!"

"Hey, that's right! Shall we head back first, then?"

A novel world was a novel world; the female lead's brain didn't seem very functional, as she was fooled just like that. Young Master Fei was inwardly overjoyed, thinking that the development of events was about to get back on track.

"Let's go back!"

"Xiyue... would you be willing to become my girlfriend?" The sincerity of the confession was full, the process was formulaic, Gu Xiyue looked indifferent, and the future of all this was wonderful!

"I'm willing."

"Alright, even if you aren't willing, I..."

"Wait?! Willing?! Xiyue, what did you say?" Young Master Fei widened his eyes, suspecting that he had misheard, and smacked his ears hard.

No, no, no, no, what was going on here? This Gu Xiyue was not playing according to the script! They had clearly agreed just a moment ago, so how did she go back on her word?

If things went like this, the starting point of the entire book was going to collapse, and there would be nothing left for him to do.

Let alone returning to the real world.

Thinking of how he might never see his grandmother again, a surge of despair and suffocation welled up in Young Master Fei's heart, and he instantly froze in place.

Looking at the stunned Young Master Fei, Gu Xiyue derived secret pleasure, a smile curving the corner of her mouth.

Fei Yangyao, oh Fei Yangyao, it wasn't enough that you sickened me for two and a half years before, but now you pushed me outward like some unwanted garbage. What has a dignified person like me, Gu Xiyue, become!

You want to make me, Gu Xiyue, surrender without a fight and let you manipulate me at will?

No way!

Now the tides have turned, and it's my turn to disgust you, isn't it?

What you want, I simply won't let you have your wish; what you don't want, I'll forcefully shove right back at you!

"I said I'm willing, Brother Yang Yao~" The corner of Gu Xiyue's mouth hooked into a sincere smile, and her tone actually carried a hint of coy affectation.

Gu Xiyue thought to herself: Phew! This coy voice is really hard to act out, but it's all worth it!

Exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating! Looking at that pale face, Gu Xiyue felt as blissfully elated inside as curling up in a warm blanket in the dead of a Siberian winter while eating two huge pots of hotpot.

Fei Yangyao, you have your day today too. Watch closely, starting today is the beginning of my, Gu Xiyue's, counteroffensive!

I, Gu Xiyue, have sounded the horn of counterattack!

For a moment, the radiant Gu Xiyue and the pale-faced Young Master Fei formed a world-class masterpiece.

Silenced right along with them were the other onlookers present, but the Dragon King Ye Chen was forever different.

"Xiyue, you should obey your own will and bravely reject him! Don't worry, I will protect you well and won't let trash like this coerce you!"

Ye Chen stepped out from the crowd of security guards behind, his hand about to rest on her shoulder when she dodged it.

Hmph! Woman, why are you being shy?

He didn't mind either, turning around to face Young Master Fei with a hostile expression, the corners of his mouth beginning to hook upward imperceptibly.

He's here, he's here, he's walking over with his Nike-swoosh face.

Seeing the Dragon King leap out, Young Master Fei went from shock to joy.

That was it. Although there had been a minor twist in the middle, as long as the Dragon King made an appearance, everything would turn out fine.

Following the four steps of the Dragon King's entrance—the villain clamoring—the villain getting his face slapped—the Dragon King leaving with the beauty, Young Master Fei believed everything would improve.

There wasn't much major problem with the plot overall. Next, as long as he clamored a bit, then let the bodyguard beat him up a little, and spent a few days in the hospital, the plot would return to the right track!
