One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

“Okay,” Ye Xiao responded and accepted the video call.

Soon, Gu Yan’s face appeared on the screen.

Gu Yan was about to say something.

Lin Yun tilted her head, entering the frame. She adjusted her position to ensure Gu Yan could see Ye Xiao’s hand in hers.

Gu Yan immediately narrowed his eyes.

“Gu Yan, what’s wrong?” Ye Xiao hadn’t noticed the tension between them and couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Yan originally wanted to discuss with Ye Xiao the events of that evening.

He too had been busy with the affair that night.

He was validating Ye Bingtong’s video and helping the Ye Family recuperate the original video of the living room; it was indeed a frantic ordeal.

Gu Yan didn’t see himself as someone who did good deeds anonymously; he somewhat wanted to seek a little credit from Ye Xiao without leaving traces.

But now.

Seeing Lin Yun’s provocative gaze, Gu Yan lost all desire to boast about his achievements.

He couldn’t help saying, “Xiaoxiao, is this Miss Lin still living with you?”

“Yes,” Ye Xiao said. “The room is pretty big. It’s not crowded at all with both of us living here.”

Gu Yan fell silent for a moment, then couldn’t help saying, “But in that case, wouldn’t it be inconvenient if we wanted to talk?”

“Inconvenient, how so?” Ye Xiao asked with a puzzled face.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.

Gu Yan gave her a glance, and his face darkened slightly.

Lin Yun said softly, “Xiaoxiao, Mr. Gu is complaining that you’re not focused enough when you talk to him. You chat with him slowly, and I’ll sit on the balcony for a while. We live together day and night and have plenty of opportunities to chat. Mr. Gu might have to wait for days to talk to you for a few minutes, so prioritize him for now.”

Gu Yan’s face grew even darker!

This Lin Yun!

She was indeed making insinuations with her words!

But.

As a straight girl, Ye Xiao didn’t pick up on anything and said with a bewildered face, “It’s okay, there’s nothing you can’t hear.”

“I’ll still step aside,” Lin Yun said with a light laugh.

She stood up, then very artificially unlocked her phone, making sure her screensaver featuring her and Ye Xiao hugging was captured by the camera for several seconds.

Only when she was sure Gu Yan had seen the photo on her screensaver did Lin Yun leave satisfied.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel frustrated to the point of itching teeth.

The woman’s provocations were getting more and more audacious!

“Xiaoxiao,” Gu Yan took a deep breath.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Xiao asked with a confused look.

Gu Yan seemed a bit odd that night.

Their relationship was clear and clean; was there anything that Lin Yun shouldn’t hear?

Gu Yan looked at Ye Xiao’s clueless face and suddenly felt a tenderness in his heart.

He had originally intended to seek credit.

But now.

He felt his little scheming was ridiculous.

If one were to talk about merits.

Xiaoxiao, by herself, had changed everyone’s destiny; had she ever sought credit for it?

Gu Yan also began to sense.

Upon meeting certain conditions, Ye Xiao seemed to have the ability to change the future.

That day, the basketball that was suddenly burst by Ye Bingtong was a solid proof.

A person had easily burst a basketball.

This was indeed a bewildering thing.

Yet aside from him, no one else seemed to notice anything amiss.

Even Ye Bingtong himself seemed to think that was a matter of course.

Gu Yan investigated earlier events as well.

Previously, there had been a bizarre hailstorm at the school gate.

This was also very strange.

But.

Despite many witnesses, no one questioned it, treating the event simply as gossip fodder.

Considering all these events.

Gu Yan realized.

Ye Xiao came to this world with some unique abilities.

These abilities allowed her to change the storyline within a certain range.

But.

Such powerful abilities.

Do they really come without a price?

To change the fate of these people, Xiaoxiao must have made many efforts behind the scenes.

Facing Ye Xiao’s puzzled look, Gu Yan said softly, “It’s nothing, I just think, you’ve worked hard.”

Ye Xiao became even more puzzled.

Huh?

What’s gotten into Gu Yan, why is he suddenly giving her such a sympathetic look!

“Xiaoxiao,” Gu Yan said warmly, “Actually, there are many things we can handle on our own, you shouldn’t worry too much.”

Ye Xiao was totally confused.

This was the second person who had said something like this to her tonight.

Seeing that Ye Xiao’s expression was off, Gu Yan couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Xiao was somewhat bemused, “Earlier, Xiaoyun also said the same thing to me.”

What’s going on!

Did she usually look like she worried too much?

Emmm… it seemed a bit like that.

She always felt an urgency about saving up words, wanting to save more just in case.

As a result.

It seemed like both Lin Yun and Gu Yan had noticed her anxiety.

Thinking it over, Ye Xiao suddenly smiled faintly.

When she thought about it carefully.

Actually, even if she hadn’t intervened tonight, Ye Bingtong wouldn’t have ended up with anything good, it’s just that the results might not have been as spectacular.

Now.

It wasn’t just her alone trying to change fate.

The Ye Family.

Gu Yan.

Lin Yun.

Liu Yan.

Everyone was trying to change their destiny.

Just her power alone couldn’t change so many storylines. But now, when everyone’s efforts were combined, they could turn the world upside down,

Since coming to this world, the string in Ye Xiao’s heart had always been taut.

But now.

After Lin Yun and Gu Yan had both spoken, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a sensation.

It was as if the burden on her shoulders was being shared.

She wasn’t fighting alone, by her side, many people gathered who also wanted to change their fate.

Together, they could strive to create a brand-new ending.

“Okay, I understand,” Ye Xiao responded warmly.

Gu Yan watched Ye Xiao then suddenly stopped himself from saying something.

Ye Xiao tilted her head to look at him, and sure enough, Gu Yan seemed a bit odd.

Gu Yan cleared his throat and said, “Xiaoxiao, do you know that sometimes, in addition to men, some women also need to be guarded against?”

Ye Xiao: “???”

Gu Yan alluded, “Sometimes women can be more dangerous than men.”

This time, Ye Xiao understood.

She nodded her head and said seriously, “I understand.”

“You understand?” Gu Yan was a bit surprised.

He had worried that he had been too subtle.

Ye Xiao followed up by saying, “Don’t worry. Even though Ye Bingtong has already fallen to such a state, I will never lower my guard. After all, the level of danger she poses is indeed very high.”

Gu Yan: “…”

No! You don’t understand!

He hesitated for a long time and eventually just let out a sigh, “Right, that’s what I meant, we still have to remain vigilant!”
