One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Suddenly, Tong Simeng bit her lower lip and said, “What if I said, the person I actually love is you?”

Saying this, she looked at Yue Heng with a steadfast expression.

Tong Simeng felt like she had no other option.

She didn’t understand why Yue Heng firmly believed that she could still win back Ye Zhaoyu.

Given how things had reached this point, even if she managed to coax Ye Zhaoyu back, his fans, his family, everyone around him, would reject her.

Even if Ye Zhaoyu still had feelings for her and was willing to give her another chance.

But how long could such feelings last?

Although Tong Simeng seemed reckless, she was very clear-headed inside.

When Yue Heng’s parents offered her money to leave, she chose to accept the money and go.

Because she knew.

With her background, if Yue Heng’s parents didn’t approve of their relationship, they had a thousand ways to torment her.

At the time, Yue Heng himself had no achievements, and the money was all from his parents.

If she insisted on being with Yue Heng, his parents simply needed to cut off the funds, and the two of them would be left with nowhere to turn.

So.

Tong Simeng chose to take the money and leave.

This time.

She found herself in the same predicament again.

Ye Zhaoyu loved her a lot and treated her well, making him a good candidate for marriage, but given the incident with Yue Heng, how would the already dissatisfied Ye family members react?

After much consideration, Tong Simeng thought that it was best to go back to the old path at times like this.

Yue Heng now had his own business, and having listened to his phone call home just earlier, he also had the power to stand up to his family.

Choosing Yue Heng now was the most cost-effective decision for her.

Before, she had been stringing Yue Heng along, claiming that Ye Zhaoyu was the only one in her heart.

She liked to see Yue Heng’s jealous reactions when she said that.

But now.

Tong Simeng couldn’t care less, she laid her cards on the table.

After confessing, Tong Simeng looked at Yue Heng with expectancy.

Yue Heng had confessed his liking for her countless times, and now that she had officially responded, he should be overjoyed and accept her, right?

However.

To Tong Simeng’s surprise, Yue Heng’s gaze flickered and he avoided her eyes.

In a gentle voice, Yue Heng said, “Simeng, you’re too impulsive right now, and the words you’ve spoken, the decisions you’ve made, they don’t count. I’m of course very happy that you could choose me, but I hope it’s a choice made after truly seeing your own heart clearly, not just an impulsive moment. Give yourself another chance, and give Ye Zhaoyu another chance too. I hope that if I win, it’s out of fair competition, not because of your caprice.”

Yue Heng was really skilled in persuasion, and the somewhat skeptical Tong Simeng couldn’t help but be moved by his words.

Indeed.

She still had feelings for Ye Zhaoyu as well.

Sigh.

Both men loved her so deeply, how should she even choose?

At night.

Ye Xiao skimmed through the dialogue between the two and couldn’t help feeling speechless.

In these books, the male and female leads usually have some genuine feelings.

Only this pair… their relationship is really plastic.

Tong Simeng had taken the money and left in the past and now she wanted to rekindle the old flame.

Yue Heng hadn’t really searched for Tong Simeng in those years, but after their reunion, he suddenly acted as if he was madly in love with her.

Stripping away the embellished words.

Behind this so-called love affair between the two, it was all blatantly calculations and interests.

This pair was truly a perfect match, a toad meets a green bean, completely in their element.

Ye Xiao checked out Ye Bingtong’s book again.

The book was updating the plot at a snail’s pace, but specific details about the press conference tomorrow had yet to be revealed.

Ye Xiao had gotten a good handle on this book’s gimmicks.

Probably wouldn’t get the latest plot twist until the final minutes.

After checking out the storyline.

Ye Xiao opened Weibo with glee.

Folks, it’s happy hour.

She believed that the talented netizens wouldn’t disappoint her.

And indeed.

The issue between Yue Heng and Tong Simeng was dominating the charts.

Thanks to the private detectives and tabloid journalists for those high-definition photos.

How Yue Heng and Tong Simeng met, how they embraced, how they couldn’t bear to let go, and hugged for an hour—videos that were uploaded completely unedited.

“Let me remind everyone. This is not a still frame, not a still frame.”

“These two… really hugged for an hour.”

“Is it my imagination or the more people there are, the tighter they hug? Such performative personalities!”

“Where do they get the face?! A male home wrecker and a cheating scumbag, do they really think this behavior is glorious?”

“Knight is so pitiful!”

“Did you guys watch the livestream? Even a man would feel heartbroken at Knight’s expression.”

“I saw it. I can only say, as you sow, so shall you reap. Some people shouldn’t rack up too much bad karma.”

“Ever since Knight debuted, everyone knew Tong Simeng was his girlfriend. Even when fans clashed with her, he would always protect his girlfriend unconditionally. But what about now? The person he treated with all his heart and soul delivered such a heavy blow! Not just cheating, but with the boss of the rival team! Are we sure Tong Simeng isn’t a spy sent by Tianxing?!”

“The comment above about a spy probably hit the nail on the head!”

“Wasn’t it already mentioned before? That Tianxing’s style is becoming more and more like that of TC Club? Some have questioned this before, but Tianxing’s fans vehemently denied it, accusing the TC fans of spouting nonsense! What now? Who’s talking nonsense?”

“E-sports should be pure! If you rely on such underhanded manipulation, it’s meaningless.”

“Tong Simeng go die. Yue Heng go die. Tianxing go die.”

“Hey, Yue Heng’s personal affairs shouldn’t drag down the whole Tianxing Club, okay? What’s this about styles being similar, are you saying only your TC can have this style? You can curse at Yue Heng, at Tong Simeng, we won’t care. But what did Tianxing’s team of five do wrong? They’ve been playing hard and made it to the semifinals step by step. Because of one boss, are you going to write off the entire Tianxing Club? What do you think this is, ancient times with collective punishment?”

“Yo, yo, yo, this Tianxing team of five is really so innocent. In the future, in this Nanfeng Pavilion, when their boss, as the top courtesan, lures in benefits with her charms, the brothel thrives, and the young courtesans gradually gain fame. But then, these courtesans all suddenly claim they didn’t get a share of the spoils. Metaphorically speaking, by the way, don’t let certain dogs find themselves reflected here.”

“Hahaha, Nanfeng Pavilion, young courtesans, this description, classic!”

Ye Zhaoyu’s deep and loving persona was really taking root in people’s hearts.

With such a scandal blasted by Tong Simeng and Yue Heng, aside from Ye Zhaoyu’s fans and those of TC Club, even bystanders couldn’t help but jump into the fray to berate the two.

Tianxing Club fans were internally cursing their own boss while trying to dissociate their favored players.

But what Yue Heng did was just too outrageous.

The fans were completely suppresses, with no room to fight back.

Ye Xiao delightedly read through the netizens’ comments for a while, even jotting down some choice phrases.

Then, she happily got ready for bed.

Having enjoyed a good show, and tomorrow, an even bigger one awaited.

She needed to rest and recharge for it.
