Chapter 378: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Yun Qing had no idea that she was being judged by a madman.
She was silent for a moment, seemingly trying to prove her intelligence, before suddenly saying, "Don't think I don't know you're always pretending to be pitiful!"
He Chengyi didn't deny it, his tone carrying a hint of a smile, "Then why do you always coax me?"
"I only did it because I felt sorry for you!"
【? ? ? 】
[Sister Song, do you want to hear what you're saying? You already said he's faking it!]
Don't take it so seriously, it's just a little game between lovers.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Tell me more, I love to hear it!
Watching He Chengyi and Yun Qing's loving relationship, the Matchmaker System couldn't help but sigh, saying to Wen Yu with exasperation, "You'd better step up your game! Otherwise, you really won't have a chance!"
It has long since given up on sweet romance stories of "soul swapping and mutual redemption," and now it is even losing confidence in stories of "chasing after the wife's death, first suffering and then sweetness."
It wanted Wen Yu to win over He Chengyi with her inner beauty, but Wen Yu couldn't hold her nerve at all. With this performance, not only would He Chengyi not like her, but even it felt that she was inferior to Song Yunqing.
It sighed and earnestly advised, "Don't be too impatient. Although the gap between you and Song Yunqing is widening, you don't need to be jealous of her."
[You still have my system to help you. Sooner or later you'll be able to win over He Chengyi and reach the pinnacle of life.]
Wen Yu said irritably, "Shut up! You're going to help me? What good are you? I asked you to help me heal my face, and you've been dragging your feet. Otherwise, would I be in this predicament?"
System: ...How many times do I have to tell you before you understand that He Chengyi isn't interested in your face!
The system was exasperated, then heard Wen Yu say in a gloomy voice, "Don't worry, I'll soon ruin Song Yunqing's reputation!"
Wen Yu's tone was quite confident, making the system tremble with fear. [What are you going to do? Don't do anything reckless!]
[Let me tell you, He Chengyi cherishes Song Yunqing now. If you dare touch Song Yunqing, he might tear you to pieces!]
The system was genuinely afraid that Wen Yu would anger He Chengyi. If He Chengyi were to kill Wen Yu in a fit of rage, it might actually be sent back to the factory for destruction.
Wen Yu mocked it, "You really are a coward! There's no evidence to prove I did it."
The system pleaded urgently: "I'm begging you! Stop being so clever! Don't forget how badly your face is ruined!"
Do you even know how crazy He Chengyi is? If you piss him off, you'll die! Don't drag me into this!
Then, as if remembering something, it added: "Have you forgotten how he kicked you down the stairs back then?"
Hearing this, Wen Yu became a little scared, mainly because the fear He Chengyi had instilled in her during her dream was too deeply ingrained.
But she quickly reaffirmed her resolve: Ling Xiao wouldn't betray her, and He Chengyi wouldn't know it was her doing.
Seeing that she was determined to deal with Song Yunqing, the system was frantic, asking, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Wen Yu refused to speak.
The system is practically crying with anger! You stubborn idiot! What did I do to deserve being bound to you?! You're trying to kill me!
If Wen Yu really dares to touch Song Yunqing, based on its understanding of He Chengyi, he will definitely go crazy and kill both it and Wen Yu.
No! It has to keep an eye on Wen Yu!
However, Wen Yu behaved herself after that. Until the end of the day's work, when the guests went to be interviewed by the program team separately, she did not do anything strange.
The system gradually relaxed, thinking that Wen Yu had been frightened and dared not make any rash moves.
*
The interviews were arranged at the hotel, with the guests being interviewed separately. Some of the questions were related to their work over the past two days, while others were questions that viewers were interested in.
The staff who interviewed Yun Qing were quite efficient and decisive, clearly the kind of people who valued efficiency; they even spoke faster than others.
He was originally assigned to interview Lin Xinrou.
As a result, Lin Xinrou said that her boyfriend was jealous and wanted a female interviewee to interview him, thus taking away the staff member who was originally supposed to interview Yun Qing.
The male staff member who was supposed to interview her: ???
What do you say when you're filming intimate scenes?
Although he felt that Lin Xinrou was a bit mentally unstable, he didn't really care.
Given the current state of public opinion online, interviewing Professor Song is actually easier, as there aren't as many sensitive questions.
Oh... we still need to be careful about the scale.
The staff asked questions quickly, and Yun Qing answered them all, finding it very easy, so she completed the task in no time.
After she came out of the interview room, the cameraman followed her for a while, then his expression suddenly changed. He looked troubled and whispered, "Teacher Song..."
Yun Qing glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The cameraman whispered, "I think I have an upset stomach."
His face was already pale and he was covered in cold sweat as he spoke; he was clearly unable to hold on any longer.
"Then you can put the camera there, and I'll just walk around in the hallway."
"Thank you, Teacher Song. I'll be back soon."
Yun Qing peeled a milk candy and put it in her mouth, then slowly strolled back and forth in the corridor without leaving the camera's view.
The director noticed the situation in the live broadcast room and, in order to ensure that the broadcast would not go wrong, prepared to arrange for other cameramen to come over.
But in the blink of an eye, the live stream screen disappeared.
"what happened?"
"It seems the cameras are off."
"Who turned it off? Why is the radio malfunctioning too?"
*
Ling Xiao came out of the room next door, turned off the camera, and walked towards Yun Qing.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Yun Qing turned around and saw Ling Xiao wearing a bathrobe, the collar slightly open, looking at her with bright eyes and a sweet smile.
"Sister, do you miss me? I miss you so much. You haven't talked to me for so long, I'm so sad. You have to comfort me."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
She asked sincerely, "Are you sick?"
Ling Xiao, however, said happily, "Sister, you said it yourself! Don't worry, I will definitely make you very comfortable."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and tried to grab Yun Qing's arm, dragging her into the room next door.
Now that the cameras are off and the audio recording is faulty, the only way to find out what happened will be through the hotel corridor surveillance cameras.
From this vantage point, the corridor's security cameras could clearly capture Ling Xiao's expression, while Yun Qing had her back to the camera. If someone who could read lips could analyze what he was saying, then this scene would undoubtedly be a picture of them having an affair.
If Ling Xiao drags Yun Qing into the room and something happens, Yun Qing won't be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tries.
He Chengyi couldn't bear the shame, so he definitely wouldn't want her anymore. Even if there were doubts, he wouldn't investigate further to clear Yun Qing's name. Simply abandoning her would be the easiest and most advantageous thing for him.
Things seem to be going very well.
Wen Yu, who had been waiting at the corner, worried about any unexpected events so she could subtly help Ling Xiao in time, was now relieved, feeling that the matter was almost certain to be resolved.
However, time is tight, and if the production team discovers the situation, they will definitely send staff to check. But this also provides an opportunity to catch them in the act.
The system went into overdrive after realizing what Wen Yu was planning to do.
In a moment of desperation, it darted towards He Chengyi, urgently shouting: "Host, hurry and save Song Yunqing! Wen Yu wants to ruin her reputation and has that brat Ling Xiao bully her!"
He Chengyi, who was still being interviewed, stood up abruptly. Before the staff could ask him anything, his phone rang.
Although Lin Xu was extremely busy, he still kept someone watching the live stream, worried that something might happen to He Chengyi.
To everyone's surprise, He Chengyi was fine, but Yun Qing had a problem instead.
The cameraman suddenly fell ill, then the camera was turned off, and even the sound recording malfunctioned. It was too much of a coincidence, and Lin Xu couldn't help but suspect that it was a conspiracy.
"Mr. He, it seems something has happened to Madam. Before the live stream disappeared, Madam was located between rooms 607 and 608."
Lin Xu held a phone in each hand, one to notify He Chengyi and the other to the bodyguards who had been waiting at the hotel.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as Wen Yu and Ling Xiao had imagined.
They could have simply dragged Yun Qing into the room and made her cry out in vain, and then their plan would have been a success.
Yun Qing reacted quickly. When Ling Xiao reached out to grab her, she grabbed his arm and pulled hard, then bent her knee and slammed it into his abdomen. She then slammed her elbow down hard, mercilessly hitting his back.
Ling Xiao immediately lay down.
She stomped her high heel on his hand, grinding it hard. Looking down at him expressionlessly, Yun Qing asked, "Little green tea, how's this consolation? Are you happy now?"
Ling Xiao was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he dared not cry out for fear of attracting the attention of others.
He even stubbornly tried to grab Yunqing's ankle with his other hand, saying in a gloomy tone, "Song Yunqing, this is the punishment you deserve. If you behave, I will marry you and treat you well for the rest of my life as compensation."
Yun Qing: I @￥%&*……
What kind of mental illness is this?
Yun Qing was furious, so after stepping on his other hand as well, she still wasn't satisfied and pulled his arm over to flip him over, then stepped on his "tool" (his weapon).
"Aww..."
The piercing scream made Yun Qing take two steps back, and she frowned and said, "Could you please keep your voice down? People who don't know better might think I'm bullying you."
