Xia Wan was very surprised.
Xia Zhizhi continued, "After you left the hospital that day, Dad asked me to do something."
At this point, Xia Zhizhi glanced at Xia Wan somewhat guiltily, then lowered her eyes as if in repentance.
Xia Wan tilted her head to look at her.
Xia Zhizhi: "Dad told me to secretly slip that drug into your drink at the cruise ship charity event tonight, and then push you into Minghuai's room..."
Xia Wan's pupils contracted, then she frowned.
The drugging incident in the original book was a conspiracy between the original owner and Xia Huaidong.
Now it's up to Xia Zhizhi to do it!
Xia Zhizhi held Xia Wan's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, sister, I won't do that."
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes gleamed with envy.
"To be honest, our father is not a good father. He only cares about profit. We are not his daughters, but just tools for him to make money."
“Over the years, only you, sister, have been truly kind to me at home. I am grateful to you. Even if you still like Brother Minghuai, I will not joke about your innocence. At the charity gala tonight, you stay by Cui Ziqi's side the whole time. I will tell Dad that I had no chance to make a move.”
Xia Zhizhi's gaze was clear and sincere.
Xia Wan looked at her silently for a long time before raising the corners of her mouth and taking her hand in return.
"Thank you."
A brisk sea breeze lifted the light, white gauze curtains in front of the window, which then fell onto the edge of the sofa where the two girls were sitting.
Xia Zhizhi's smile was warm, and that warmth slid down her veins to the two girls' clasped hands, but it was tinged with a slight coolness.
It was the chill that rose from the gaps in the palm of your hand when the sea breeze blew through it, stirring up the cold sweat on someone's hand.
When I came out of the room.
Xia Wan felt as if the chill that had made her heart pound still lingered in her palms.
The smile on her face vanished instantly.
"System, I wanted to ask you this last time. Cui Ziqi and I are important characters in the book, but now my plotline is completely biased towards Cui Ziqi. If the male and female supporting characters don't cause trouble for the main characters, how will the story develop?"
If the storyline involving the male and female leads doesn't progress, the world in the book will eventually collapse.
Thinking of this, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back.
If the world in the book collapsed before she even started pursuing Cui Ziqi, she still couldn't go back.
Everything she did will be in vain!
[Don't panic, host. This issue was already considered when the main system decided to let you pursue Cui Ziqi.]
Xia Wan asked, 'What is the solution?'
[The original book is a romance novel, mainly focusing on the relationship between the male and female leads. Although you and the male supporting character are the main antagonists, as long as you're not a protagonist, you can be replaced.]
Xia Wan asked in confusion, "Does that mean someone has replaced me and Cui Ziqi in our roles?"
I guess so.
Who is it?
[Cui Ying and Yu Jia.]
Xia Wan understood.
Cui Ying likes Zheng Minghuai, so he naturally takes her place as the female supporting character.
Yu Jia, Xia Zhizhi's childhood sweetheart, went abroad to study five years ago.
In the original book, Yu Jia returned to China after Xia Zhizhi and Zheng Minghuai got engaged, during their first argument.
He was deeply in love with Xia Zhizhi and was also an outstanding person. In the later plot, he caused a lot of trouble for Xia Zhizhi and Zheng Minghuai.
'The order of the male and female supporting characters has changed; won't that affect the plot?'
[As long as the scope of influence is controllable, the host can cause them some trouble from time to time to maintain her position as the female supporting character.]
Xia Wan: ……
Isn't that just plain stupid?
Forget it, she's already lost enough face in these three years of being a simp. So what if she's being a little pathetic?
As long as the world in the book doesn't collapse, and she can return home safely.
She's going all out!
'Okay, I know my persona best!'
[However, host, you should be mindful of your actions. Your main task is still to seduce the male supporting character. The main system is about to issue you your fourth task.]
'So sudden?'
Does your large intestine give you advance warning before you get diarrhea?
Xia Wan: ……
[Host, please accept the fourth task: move into the male supporting character's house and live with him. You have three days. If you do not move in with him after three days, you will suffer the agony of being torn to pieces.]
grass!
Xia Wan cursed and swore for half an hour.
The system has long since disappeared.
Xia Wan stood at the elevator entrance with a tense expression, waiting for the elevator.
His mind raced, trying to figure out how to get Cui Ziqi to agree to live together.
The elevator doors opened.
She looked up and met Cui Ziqi's scarlet eyes.
Inside the elevator, Cui Ziqi was wearing a long trench coat that made his figure look very tall and broad-shouldered. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone.
Her prominent collarbones and large expanses of fair skin were exposed, and the bandages, faintly tinged with blood, could be seen below her clothes.
How did he wake up?
The sleeping pills she gave him made him sleep for several hours!
Xia Wan's eyes widened, "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her arm and was forcefully pulled into the elevator by Cui Ziqi.
She slammed her back against the elevator wall, the impact knocking her hairpin off. Her long, glossy black hair fell haphazardly down, draping messily over her shoulders.
She didn't have time to feel the pain in her back; she only looked in horror at the dark shadow pressing down on her.
Cui Ziqi moved closer to her, his scarlet eyes fixed on her trembling pupils filled with fear.
"Didn't I tell you not to betray me?"
His deep voice seemed to emanate from the bottom of an abyss, carrying a chill that penetrated to the bone.
Xia Wan felt a chill seep into her very bones.
