Short message
"Would you believe me if I said it was the answer to the last big question on the final math exam?"
Nangong Ye slapped her on the head. "Do you really think I'm stupid? Are you smarter than Lin Yuan? Do I need Lin Yuan to ask you for the answer?"
Xu Feifei touched the back of her head where she had been patted. "I was just joking. It's just some private things that girls shouldn't tell boys."
Nangong Ye pressed further, "What kind of things can't you tell boys?"
"Don't pry too much. How's your relationship with Lin Xier going?"
Nangong Ye said irritably, "How dare you say that? Because of you, I withdrew from the summer camp halfway through, and there has been no progress at all, just like before."
Xu Feifei was skeptical and asked, "Really? The pictures Zeng Hao sent me seem to suggest something's going on between you two."
Nangong Ye glared at her and said angrily, "You're spying on me?"
Xu Feifei quickly denied it, saying, "No, absolutely not. It's Zeng Haofa's photo from summer camp, and you just accidentally appeared in the picture."
Seeing that he seemed about to get angry, Xu Feifei decisively betrayed Zeng Hao.
After hearing this explanation, Nangong Ye did not argue much. "I only participated in the summer camp activities for two or three days. I didn't have time to say much."
Xu Feifei felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this.
There are moments of joy and sorrow. The joy comes from the fact that the two haven't yet developed a concrete relationship, so an engagement now would be less awkward. The sorrow stems from the fact that the male and female leads aren't in love yet; how can their romance possibly reverse the celestial order?
If the male and female leads end up together, the original owner of this body will definitely be very sad. But the main plot will never change; the male and female leads will probably still fall in love in the end.
"What's wrong? You look like you want to laugh and cry at the same time. It's so strange. You haven't really fallen in love with me, have you? You're so concerned about my feelings."
Xu Feifei silently rolled her eyes and sighed, "I...I'm just worried about how you'll explain our engagement to Lin Xier later."
Thinking about this made her even more annoyed, and she didn't know how to explain this to Lin Yuan.
Nangong Ye looked bewildered and asked, "Why do I need to explain?"
Hearing his blunt, straight-man-like statement, Xu Feifei retorted, "Aren't you pursuing Lin Xier? If we're engaged, how are you going to pursue her?"
Nangong Ye thought seriously and said, "Lin Xier and I aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. We can just not invite her to our engagement, right? No need to explain, right?"
Xu Feifei glanced at him and said speechlessly, "Whatever. But our engagement will definitely be trending on social media. Didn't you hear my parents and your parents discussing whether to invite the media? Our engagement is a business marriage, and everyone in City A will know about it."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "We might find out tonight. It's been done so quickly."
She never expected it to be done so quickly; it felt like being forced into something.
Nangong Ye frowned upon hearing this and said, "This is too troublesome. I'll see how to explain it later."
A butterfly flew over and gently landed on a flower.
Xu Feifei's gaze fell on the butterfly, and she couldn't help but think of Su Huan. Right, she still needed to find Su Huan.
She turned to look at the male lead and said with a grin, "Nangong Ye, I think you're really good at finding people. Look how quickly you found me."
Nangong Ye said with a smug look, "It's alright, it's alright."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Xu Feifei quickly grabbed his leg and said, "I need you to help me find someone. She has been missing for a while, but I haven't been able to find her. I want to ask you for help."
Who is it?
"Su Huan is a student at our school. I want to know if she is at home or not."
Nangong Ye frowned and said, "What's this about whether she's home or not? Why don't you just go to her house and look for her?"
"Well, Su Huan told me she was being held captive. I went to the police station to report it, and the police contacted her mother, who said she was at home. If she were really at home, she would have called me, but she didn't. So I suspect she was being held captive by her parents or that her mother was lying."
"So that's why you went to the police station. But what if she's being held captive by her parents?"
"Then I'll go save her."
Nangong Ye glanced at her. "Alright, I'll look for it. I'll send it to you if I find anything."
When Xu Feifei saw that he had agreed, she happily said, "Great! I had some information about Su Huan before, I'll send it to you when I get back."
"OK."
The two chatted in the garden for a while, then Xu Feifei returned to her room, took out her phone, and found that the phone Lin Yuan had given her was out of battery.
She took her dead phone to charge and then used another phone to try and find the male lead's WeChat account. However, she couldn't find Nangong Ye's WeChat account anywhere, not even a precise search.
Did Lin Yuan delete it for her?
Xu Feifei found Nangong Ye's WeChat in the class group and discovered that he was on her blacklist. Helpless, she pulled him out and added him back.
It seems that Lin Yuan was undoubtedly responsible; she knew her phone password.
A little while later, the male protagonist accepted the friend request and immediately sent a message.
Nangong Ye: I forgot to ask, why did you block me?
Xu Feifei: My phone got a virus, which made WeChat a bit erratic. I added you back as soon as I fixed it.
Nangong Ye: Download antivirus software for me, so this problem won't happen again.
Xu Feifei: Download it right away. Oh, and I'll send you Su Huan's information now.
After typing this line, Xu Feifei took out her new phone, which was charging, and was surprised to find that Lin Yuan had called her more than a dozen times and sent her a lot of messages.
Seeing this terrifying amount of information, she immediately panicked. She didn't know how to face Lin Yuan yet, and she didn't dare tell her about her engagement to Nangong Ye.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Feifei decided to reply to Lin Yuan later. She forwarded the information she had gathered to herself, and then forwarded it to the male lead.
After the file was sent, Nangong Ye replied with an "OK".
All that's left is to wait. Xu Feifei prays to find Su Huan quickly so they can discuss a better plan for getting back. She can't stay here any longer; if she stays any longer, her consciousness will melt away and she'll become an NPC in the book.
Like Su Huan, they wait for the next "lucky person" to come to this book.
Xu Feifei lay in bed, closed her eyes, and thought of Lin Yuan. She didn't know what to do about Lin Yuan either. It could only be said that they were destined to be apart.
I don't know how much time passed, but I intended to close my eyes and rest, and eventually fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already evening.
When I went downstairs, Nangong Ye and his family had already gone home. After a quick meal, his parents said they had already booked the venue, and the guest list was still being drafted. They would go with Nangong Ye to choose wedding attire and jewelry in a couple of days. They would officially announce your engagement to the public tomorrow.
Xu Feifei nodded and lowered her head to follow the instructions.
The engagement announcement is tomorrow, and she needs to tell Lin Yuan about it tonight; she can't delay any longer. Thinking of this, she sighed silently.
After hesitating for a long time and mentally preparing myself, the little courage I had finally mustered vanished the moment I saw Lin Yuan's message.
She dialed the number, but this time the other end didn't answer for a long time. She tried several times, but no one answered. Perhaps Lin Yuan also disliked her.
Xu Feifei looked at her number with a sense of loss, opened her WeChat, and decided that it would be better to say something on WeChat.
Lin Yuan, are you alright now...?
Lin Yuan, I called you but you didn't answer. What are you doing...?
Lin Yuan, let me tell you about Nangong Ye and me...
The text in the input box was constantly being entered and deleted. What was originally a long paragraph was gradually reduced to one or two lines, and then the process of writing and deleting continued.
Lin Yuan, I'm sorry. I didn't answer your calls or reply to your messages before because I didn't know how to face you. I hope you can adjust your mood. I said before that my arranged marriage with Nangong Ye was canceled, but it wasn't. I don't know why, maybe my experience traveling in Europe wasn't good, which prompted my parents to move up the engagement ceremony with Nangong Ye. Next Saturday is the engagement day. If you want to come, just let me know, and you'll be welcome anytime.
Xu Feifei typed a long message, read it over and over again, and hesitated to press the send button.
This was too difficult for her. But if she didn't bring it up herself, Lin Yuan would definitely be even more heartbroken if she found out through other channels.
Xu Feifei gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and pressed the button. The phone screen glowed green, and she was extremely nervous, staring intently at the chat interface.
Lin Yuan stared at the screen for over ten minutes, her eyes already starting to ache, but she still didn't reply to her WeChat message.
Xu Feifei sighed, feeling a little disappointed. Perhaps Lin Yuan was busy and couldn't reply to her messages right now. Or perhaps Lin Yuan was angry with her and simply wouldn't answer.
My heart felt empty and I felt sadder and sadder. Tears slid down my cheeks and dripped onto the phone screen, blurring the words on the screen little by little.
Regardless, she had to accept their ending. She would have to return to the real world sooner or later, and even if she didn't, she would gradually become someone else entirely.
"Bang, bang, bang." A series of crisp sounds rang out as glass shattered, the items on the table were cleared away, and a pile of rubble lay at the feet.
The house was completely different yesterday and today; it was smashed to pieces, and there was nowhere to step. After smashing everything she could, Lin Yuan was able to vent some of her resentment. Exhausted from smashing, she lay down on the already dilapidated sofa.
She thought she could win Xu Feifei's heart and make her stay in this world peacefully, but everything that happened today tells her that it was all wishful thinking.
I opened that WeChat message again and read it over and over again. I curled up on the sofa, my mind racing, trying to figure out what other ways I could keep her.
There must be a way to keep her; there is a way, she just hasn't thought of it yet.
However, she shouldn't even think about getting engaged to Nangong Ye!
