Chapter 232: 209: A New Beginning
Everyone’s hearts trembled slightly.
“It’s time to leave. Before leaving, write one last ending.”
Originally.
As for the plot involving Ye Xiao changing the script, the system would always censor it.
But this time.
There was no censorship.
Everyone heard Ye Xiao’s inner voice.
Ye Xiao started to write earnestly.
“In this world, there will no longer be male or female leads, no so-called plot to bind one’s life. Everyone shall henceforth be the main character of their own life, the master of their own destiny.”
Ye Xiao didn’t write individual endings for the Ye Family members where they all lived happily ever after.
She simply wrote.
From now on, everyone is the protagonist.
From now on, everyone can control their own destiny.
She believed.
As long as it’s a fair world, even if the people she cared about were all such radiant beings, they would naturally live well.
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, then continued to write.
“Everyone will forget the different Ye Xiao that once existed. Everything will get back on track, and they will live their lives well, love the returning Ye Xiao properly.”
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone around her changed.
Ye Bolin suddenly grabbed Ye Xiao’s hand, looking terrified and trembling, “Xiaoxiao, don’t, please don’t write it that way.”
Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised as she looked at Ye Bolin.
The others were also shocked as they looked over.
They all thought they were the chosen ones, the only ones who could hear Ye Xiao’s heart.
But Ye Bolin, he could hear it too.
Ye Lin tentatively said, “Xiaoxiao… I, I heard it too. I don’t accept this ending.”
Ye Lin’s words made it even clearer.
Then everyone understood.
Turns out, they could all hear Ye Xiao’s heart.
Ye Xiao herself was dazed.
In her heart.
A few question marks slowly floated up.
Though they were just a few symbols, they appeared very clearly in everyone’s minds.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t doubt it,” Ye Zhaoyu spoke gently, “We can all hear it. We also all know that you want to return to your original world, and we know you are writing a new ending.”
“Xiaoxiao,” Du Yaru couldn’t control herself, tears streaming down her face, “Don’t write it like this, I… I don’t want to forget you.”
For her, Ye Xiao was no different from her own daughter.
Even if the original Ye Xiao returned, she would just have another daughter. Why… why must she forget her!
Ye Xiao looked at everyone with tear-filled eyes, somewhat in a daze.
In her heart, a series of “WTFs” emerged.
“Damn it! Everyone can hear my inner voice? I haven’t said anything weird these past few years, right?”
Unfortunately, Ye Xiao just had to think about it a little and came up with a bunch of things.
She immediately fell apart!
This was social death!
“Not to mention anything else, but about that eight-pack abs guy, everyone knows, right?” Ye Xiao deliberately thought this way and then watched everyone’s expressions.
As a result.
Temporarily, Du Yaru’s tears stopped, and she showed an embarrassed look, quickly lowering her head.
Ye Xiao looked at the others.
They were all pretending to be scared, hardly daring to make eye contact with her.
“Ahh!!!”
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but scream like a groundhog in her heart.
Chen Yu cautiously said, “Actually… it’s not a big deal…”
“Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, you shouldn’t mind these details. I watch them during my free time too,” Lin Yun stated assertively.
“Stop, just let me die!”
Everyone was suddenly silent.
Ye Xiao felt indignant for a while, then silently voiced,
“Sure enough, making everyone forget about me is the right decision.”
Everyone: “??”
Is that the reason?
No, don’t!
But they couldn’t stop Ye Xiao. They could only watch as she wrote those words down.
The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly silent.
At this very moment.
Was this probably their last moment remembering Ye Xiao?
No, they didn’t want to forget.
Everyone tried hard to recall every detail about Ye Xiao’s time with them, over and over again.
Even if Ye Xiao wanted them to forget, they were unwilling!
“`
A count of one hundred and twenty, with some remaining.
Ye Xiao raised her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw Gu Yan in the garden, quietly leaning against the railing.
Ye Xiao was startled for a moment.
She had not wanted to see Gu Yan.
Unexpectedly, he still came.
Gu Yan quietly watched Ye Xiao, a faint smile forming on the corners of his lips.
Ye Xiao said that everyone could control their own destiny.
Ye Xiao also said that everyone should forget her.
Isn’t that a contradiction?
But it doesn’t matter.
Even if he was still bound by the plot, he had broken free from it before, and this time, he could do so again.
It seemed as though Ye Xiao saw something in Gu Yan’s expression.
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, then used the last few words on Gu Yan.
In the end, she wrote.
[Gu Yan had never loved Ye Xiao, not in the past, nor in the future.]
Gu Yan’s expression subtly changed.
Never loved her.
Not in the past.
Or in the future.
This woman!
She is truly too cruel.
For others, she only added a layer of constraints.
For him, she added two!
Ye Xiao finished writing the last ending.
This final book shimmered with a golden light, then turned into thousands of light spots, silently merging into this world.
Five minutes were up.
Ye Xiao sat there quietly.
She took one last look at everyone, and then, she left this world completely.
Invisible light spots fell.
Everyone felt slightly dazed.
They felt as if they had forgotten someone very important, but they couldn’t quite remember who at the moment.
The next moment.
The original Ye Xiao returned.
Ye Xiao looked towards the sky, her expression somewhat dazed.
Everyone had forgotten.
But she remembered.
She remembered that it was she who saved this world, who saved everyone.
She remembered doing so many things to pave the way for her return.
There was a glint of tears in Ye Xiao’s eyes.
She whispered to herself.
She would not squander her gift.
She would work very hard in this life to make herself happy and content for the rest of her days.
This was not just for herself, but also for that person who had tried so hard to save her.
“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Come have something to eat,” Du Yaru shook her head, vaguely feeling that she had forgotten something. However, she had no clue at the moment, and as she looked at Ye Xiao, she smiled and passed her a sweet dessert.
Ye Xiao looked at her family and friends, her expression subtly complex.
Ye Xiao knew.
She was afraid of affecting her choices, so she had avoided getting too close to the people around her over the years.
She had considered to the greatest extent possible on her behalf, leaving her with many gifts.
She was afraid of not living well enough.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but introspect.
What exactly were her feelings towards her family?
Was there resentment?
Perhaps.
Was there anger?
Perhaps.
But in the end, Ye Xiao could only sigh.
The Ye Xiao of the past was also swept away by the plot, doing many things she should not have.
Back then, she even fought with Ye Bingtong over Pei Yue.
Thinking about it now, it just seemed utterly ridiculous.
Ye Xiao looked at the cake, managing to squeeze out a smile: “Okay.”
Ye Xiao thought.
Since she had given everyone a future unshackled by binds,
she, of course, must not disappoint either.
Consider it… a new beginning.
