Su Qiao woke up again to find herself lying in a hospital bed.

The wounds on her body had already been treated, and beside the bed...

Staring at the man who was lying by the bed, holding her hand, Su Qiao was somewhat dazed.

He had fair skin and handsome features. His simple white shirt accentuated the gentleness between his brows and eyes, making him look like a warm and gentle person at first glance.

Unfortunately, he only looked the part on the outside. Inside, he was ruthless and vicious.

At the thought that this duplicitous man was the one who had made her original avatar's life worse than death, a cold glint flashed in Su Qiao's eyes. She really wanted to crush the man's neck bones in one squeeze.

Host, you absolutely must not act recklessly. If you kill him directly, not only will you go to prison, but you also won't be able to dispel the original avatar's resentment.

The original avatar's wish is for these people to receive the punishment they deserve, for this man to be ruined, and for the world to see the true face of this hypocrite.

Su Qiao narrowed her eyes and loosened her tightly clenched fingers.

"Qiaoqiao?"

There was a trace of fatigue between Qin Yu's brows. When he saw that Su Qiao had already woken up, a hint of surprise instantly flashed through his eyes.

He quickly clasped both hands around Su Qiao's hand as she was about to withdraw it.

"Qiaoqiao, you're awake? Are you all right? Does it hurt?"

"You nearly scared me to death, you know? When I first got the call saying you'd been in a car accident, my heart almost stopped."

Qin Yu held Su Qiao's hand in both of his, looking as though he still hadn't recovered from the shock. His gentle eyes were filled with worry and fear, along with a pained tenderness.

What a shame. Why didn't it scare you to death?

Then I wouldn't have to do it myself.

Your hands are so filthy.

Su Qiao frowned and exerted some force, trying to pull her hand back.

"Qiaoqiao, you... what's wrong? Does it hurt badly? Or were you frightened?"

Qin Yu's dark eyes dimmed.

He didn't know whether it was just his imagination, but he kept feeling that the Su Qiao before him was somewhat unfamiliar.

Every time she had seen him in the past, her eyes had held faint admiration and delight.

And she had never resisted his closeness.

Seeing that Qin Yu had grown suspicious, 444 hurriedly reminded her.

Host, host, you can't break character. You can't break character.

Even if you can't act exactly the same, you still need to get it mostly right. You can take some pointers from those actors.

Acting?

Some scenes from television dramas flashed through Su Qiao's mind.

Then she recalled for a moment how the former Su Qiao had acted when facing Qin Yu.

She closed her eyes, hiding the coolness in them.

She raised her head somewhat fearfully, and a layer of mist appeared in her clear eyes.

Even her voice became soft and tremulous: "Brother Yu..."

Damn it, I really want to throw up.

Su Qiao was disgusted by her own voice.

It would be better to just kill him!!!

444 shuddered, getting goosebumps all over.

Had its host... overacted?

Qin Yu scrutinized her in secret for a while, and the trace of suspicion in his heart vanished.

With some heartache, he touched Su Qiao's forehead.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My Qiaoqiao, don't be afraid. It's all right now. My Qiaoqiao is safe."

"It's a good thing Qiaoqiao was lucky. Otherwise, Brother Yu really wouldn't have known what to do."

Qin Yu's face was full of relief.

Thank goodness she was all right.

Although he wanted to obtain certain things, he didn't actually want anything to happen to Su Qiao.

Su Qiao was beautiful, came from a decent family, and most importantly, both her parents were dead. She was timid, easy to coax, and liked him.

She was the wife he had chosen, and he needed Su Qiao.

"Mm." Su Qiao nodded lightly, looking weak and listless.

She decided it would be better to act naturally.

Even she had nearly thrown up at how she had acted just now.

Besides, the original avatar had been introverted and quiet.

She had also gotten into a car accident today. A somewhat greater change should not be a problem, right?

Qin Yu no longer suspected anything. He looked at her with a face full of guilt and regret.

"It's all my fault, all my fault. I was too busy with meetings. I knew you were attending your classmate's birthday banquet today, yet I didn't personally go pick you up or take you there."
