There were two figures standing under the tree.
There were no street lights, so I could only rely on the faint moonlight to see the surrounding scenery.
Xu Shuangrong looked at the man standing opposite her, took off her previous disguise, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Now that it has come to this, there is no need to pretend, right?"
Xiao Jingxi frowned, as if he was extremely disgusted with her appearance.
Xu Shuangrong was not annoyed. She just thought that Xiao Jingxi did not understand the current situation, and patiently analyzed the situation for him.
"Since you have awakened, you must know everything."
"You and I are both the protagonists of this novel world. The outsider Xie Mi disrupted our established trajectory and forced us into the current situation."
"We should have reached the top together."
As she spoke, she observed Xiao Jingxi's reaction.
Seeing Xiao Jingxi still looking dead, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, "What are you still worried about?"
"The current situation is very clear. We should stand on a united front and work together to repel Xie Mi, the outsider, and regain the victory that belongs to us."
"Our victory?" Xiao Jingxi finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up. He sneered as if he had heard a joke, "It's your victory."
"?"
Xu Shuangrong paused, and had a bad feeling. "What do you mean?"
"Okay, now that I've talked about it, I won't pretend anymore."
Xiao Jingxi's tone was cold, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes as he looked at Xu Shuangrong. "In the original plot, wasn't it you who used me from beginning to end?"
"If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be any problems between Xie Mi and I. We would have been together forever, and my career would have gotten better and better. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
Xu Shuangrong's eyebrows jumped, and she explained anxiously, "That was just the early stage. In the later plot, didn't I also truly fall in love with you, and didn't we both get everything we wanted? For us, that was the best result, wasn't it?"
"Of course not!"
Xiao Jingxi retorted sharply, "The result of being with you is that I have gained love and career, but before I met you, I already had these things."
"I have Xie Mi and a career as a movie star. My life is perfect!"
"After meeting you, I just went through a rough plot and regained what I originally had. Do you think this is fair to me?"
"Not to mention, this novel originally revolves around you. If the author hadn't forced you to fall in love with me for the sake of a perfect ending, I would have been a complete tool like everyone else!"
"Why am I inferior to you when we are both protagonists?!"
There was a strong sense of unwillingness in Xiao Jingxi's voice, and the anger in his eyes was such that he wished he could burn Xu Shuangrong to death.
Xu Shuangrong looked at Xiao Jingxi in disbelief as he looked almost insane.
I never expected that his thinking after awakening would deviate so much.
"This can't be your own idea. Did anyone tell you anything?" she asked with a frown.
Xiao Jingxi sneered, "Why, did I get it right?"
"Xiao Jingxi, I don't know why you think so complicated, but I just want to tell you. The simplest way for us now is win-win cooperation. Any other way is extremely unrealistic for us."
"Xie Mi is not as simple as you think. She cannot be dealt with by one person alone. Only if we work together..."
"Who said I want to stand against Xie Mi?" Xiao Jingxi interrupted her.
"Of course I want to regain my status as the protagonist, but it's just me. It has nothing to do with you."
Xu Shuangrong: “……?”
Xiao Jingxi smiled with ease, "Isn't Xie Mi more like the heroine now than you? As long as I can win her back, my storyline will be back on track."
"The only change is that the heroine has changed."
Xu Shuangrong's pupils trembled slightly, but soon calmed down and looked at him calmly.
"You can't do that."
"I can do it."
"Do you really think you can win over Chen Yuqing?"
Xiao Jingxi's smile suddenly became somewhat meaningful.
"Why can't you win?"
"You've also seen the tacit understanding between him and Xie Mi. The relationship between them is not something you can..."
"Then let him disappear again."
"?"
Xu Shuangrong frowned even deeper, and felt that Xiao Jingxi looked a little different at this moment than usual, "What?"
"You don't know yet, do you?"
His tone was extremely contemptuous, and with a bit of superior pride, "Isn't she the smart heroine who claims to play everyone in the palm of her hand?"
"How come you don't even know that Chen Yuqing is an NPC who should have died long ago?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a loud noise, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the dark night, illuminating the two people standing under the tree, and also illuminating the panic in Xu Shuangrong's eyes.
She was not only panicked by Chen Yuqing's true identity.
She was even more frightened that Xiao Jingxi knew more about this matter than she did.
"Who is the system you awakened? Let me talk to it."
She almost immediately realized the unusualness of the matter, which was the reason why Xiao Jingxi had changed in the past two days.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Xu Shuangrong ignored Xiao Jingxi's disguise and continued to ask, "Don't you dare to talk to me?"
"System, what are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid that I will expose your trick and stop you from continuing to brainwash him?"
Xiao Jingxi looked at Xu Shuangrong as if she were a madman, then turned around and was about to leave.
It was also at this moment that a cold and emotionless system voice sounded.
[System L: Brainwashing?]
[System L: I am just stating the facts.]
[System L: As the protagonist of the same world, you have a higher status than Xiao Jingxi. Even if the ending is perfect, he is just your appendage.]
[System L: Since I have bound him as my host, I should strive for more benefits for him. I don’t think there is anything wrong with doing so.]
Xu Shuangrong's eyes darkened slightly.
Perhaps it was a unique connection between intelligent people. From the moment the system started speaking, she sensed its unusualness.
Xiao Jingxi sighed softly.
[Xiao Jingxi: You should continue to hide it and don’t waste your words on her.]
[Xiao Jingxi: Would I believe her lies?]
[System L: Of course, I believe you will make the right judgment.]
[System L: It’s just that I think I need to give this ignorant person who challenged me a chance…]
[System L: A little lesson.]
Xiao Jingxi suddenly raised his eyes and his gloomy gaze fell on Xu Shuangrong.
Xu Shuangrong's heart stagnated and a bad premonition swept over her.
[System: Xu Shuangrong! Run! !]
