Chapter 117: A Change in the Plot
Xi Yu turned his head.
He looked at Ling Yanzhi and enunciated each word, "Baby likes it."
After speaking, Xi Yu continued to stare infatuatedly at Jian Yu.
He had already given Ayan a hint. If the other guy didn’t get it, he couldn’t be blamed for not being generous.
Ling Yanzhi really didn’t understand what Xi Yu meant.
He didn’t think anyone would enjoy endless teasing and provocation, unable to escape or even beg for mercy.
He glanced at Jian Yu’s flailing legs and saw her rounded toes curling slightly as the black tentacles pinched, kneaded, and tickled them.
Ling Yanzhi couldn’t help but curse inwardly: ’Xi Yu is a real pervert.’
Xi Yu looked entranced. "Baby, my whimpering baby. Baby is so satisfied."
"..." Ling Yanzhi just assumed Xi Yu was deluding himself again.
A black snake slithered out from his wrist, coiled around her ankle, bit the tentacle, and yanked it away.
Jian Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, she felt a little empty.
Her eyes were misty. She blinked, and a trace of moisture lingered at the corners of her eyes.
Her cool, fair, and tender face now held a shimmering vivacity that stirred the possessiveness deep in Ling Yanzhi’s bones.
He took the handkerchief from Jian Yu’s mouth and pulled her onto his lap. "Does Baby want to say something sweet and beg me to help her?"
Jian Yu opened her mouth, only to find her voice was hoarse.
She looked at Ling Yanzhi pitifully, weakly pressing her lips together.
Her crimson lips were slightly downturned, their color vibrant, and even the alluring curve of her upper lip seemed to radiate a sense of grievance.
Ling Yanzhi couldn’t resist and lowered his head to give her a light kiss.
He pinched Jian Yu’s cheek. His tone was gentle, but it was filled with threat. "If you don’t say anything, I’ll just pretend I don’t see anything next time."
It was as if Xi Yu was coordinating with Ling Yanzhi.
He suddenly grabbed Jian Yu’s foot as she tried to pull it back under the covers.
Dragging her by the ankle, he placed her foot on his own leg and commented, "Baby, so fair."
Jian Yu’s eyes widened.
’I’m not sure how to keep up this act anymore.’
’The main thing is, in the novels I’ve read, the ’little white flower’ character is very stubborn and never begs for mercy.’
’"Please?" "Help me?" "Save me?" "Be gentle with me?"’
Jian Yu thought seriously.
’It seems I can’t bring myself to say a single one of those.’
Xi Yu was very strong, but Jian Yu tried to struggle.
Her goal wasn’t to break free, but to make the chain on her foot jingle as she moved.
’It’s not that my seduction skills are lacking, it’s that these two are just clueless.’
Accompanied by the bewitching sound, Jian Yu looked at Ling Yanzhi behind her.
Her fingers clutched the fabric on his chest, her eyes filled with panic.
Ling Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and slowly pulled his clothes from her grasp.
He enclosed Jian Yu’s fingers in his palm. "Baby can just say a few words. Anything is fine."
After a few seconds of silence, Ling Yanzhi didn’t get annoyed.
He lowered his head, bringing his handsome face close to Jian Yu’s.
The tips of their noses touched.
Jian Yu couldn’t dodge; his arm was wrapped too tightly around her waist.
A faint, cool fragrance filled her senses.
The man’s sensual tension was at its peak, and the curve of his lips was wicked.
"No hunger strikes, no running away, tell me everything you do. Repeat after me."
Jian Yu’s fingers tightened. She looked like she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Her long eyelashes cast curved shadows beneath her eyes, making her look obedient and pure.
It made one reluctant to bully her, yet also want to bully her even more ruthlessly.
Ling Yanzhi loosened the collar around his neck and let out a soft breath.
He shifted his hold, pulling all of Jian Yu into his arms.
Xi Yu’s fingers, which had been holding her foot, were left empty. His gaze turned cold.
He looked up, displeased.
Ling Yanzhi’s eyelids were half-closed. "They found a Soul Ghost Body. Duan Feiye said its Level is a bit high and told you to go help."
He added unhurriedly, "We’ve been busy for the past few days. It’s your turn."
Xi Yu had monopolized Jian Yu for three days, so for a moment, he couldn’t find a reason to argue.
He changed into a uniform and left in a hurry.
Jian Yu glanced at the windowsill.
’Why do all these people like jumping out of windows? Who is the front door for?’
Someone reassuringly rubbed the back of her head. Her body was lifted into the air, and she was placed in the middle of the bed.
Ling Yanzhi’s fingers moved back and forth, tying the loosened sash of her dress.
He lifted his gaze slightly, as if observing something. "Is it too tight?"
Jian Yu shook her head.
The chain on her ankle came loose and fell to the foot of the bed.
A book was placed on her lap.
Ling Yanzhi’s voice carried a hint of weary laziness after being busy. "Classes resume tomorrow. Baby can study in advance."
Jian Yu picked up the book, her eyes full of confusion.
’Is their self-control too strong?’
’They’ve already imprisoned me, don’t they have any other ideas?’
A pink mist gathered, entering her heart bit by bit.
Jian Yu gave up on the idea of continuing her seduction and began to analyze the situation rationally.
’The timing of my escape attempt was bad; it coincided with this Soul Ghost Body incident.’
’Rather than imprisonment, it’s more like the entire academy has suspended classes, and as an ordinary person, I can only stay in my dorm.’
’Except, I moved out of the dorms and into their villa a long time ago.’
’I can’t equate Ling Yanzhi and the others with the male leads from the novel.’
She opened the book and read a few pages, discovering that its contents were closely related to the project Teacher Hu was planning for her to join.
She got a little excited and couldn’t help but turn her head.
Seeing Ling Yanzhi sleeping so soundly, Jian Yu grew even more confused.
’Is he really that at ease with me?’
Jian Yu’s gaze drifted up and down.
The man’s long legs dangled relaxedly off the edge of the bed, and his exquisite face had a touch of tranquility.
His bold, sharp features seemed to be coated in a layer of soft light.
Jian Yu watched, somewhat entranced.
She moved quietly, crawling to sit beside him, stealing one glance, then another.
Satisfied, she lowered her head and went back to her book.
The book in her hands was thin, only about fifty-odd pages long, and it recorded genetic awakening cases from the last fifteen years.
Jian Yu breathed softly.
She gently pinched the paper to turn the page.
She kept feeling a scorching gaze fixed on her.
Jian Yu peeked to the side out of the corner of her eye.
Just in time to meet Ling Yanzhi’s strange, vertical pupils.
A flash of red crossed his eyes, his pupils returned to their normal shape, and his dark gaze fell upon her.
Jian Yu’s fingers tightened on the page, her eyes trembling slightly.
Her breathing grew erratic, and the sound of her heartbeat thundered in her ears, each beat louder than the last.
"Coward." Ling Yanzhi closed his eyes, his magnetic voice laced with a sleepy languor.
Jian Yu pressed her lips together, silent.
After finishing the book and organizing her thoughts, driven by the desire not to hold anyone back, Jian Yu wrote a first draft on her Star Brain.
Her thoughts drifted.
’It seems like Teacher Hu is the one organizing the personnel, but in reality, this project was initiated by the F2, Sheng Yue.’
’From the perspective of a random side character, Xu Jianjuan was supposed to participate in this project, earning the appreciation of the F2 and the attention of the F7s.’
’But now, Xu Jianjuan is a nobody, as if she never even existed on the forums.’
’The original female lead has fallen silent, and Yan Qin has volunteered to take the last spot.’
’Xu Jianjuan was supposed to develop the Awakening Potion, bringing the plot near its end. But now, Xu Jianjuan isn’t participating.’
’Does Yan Qin have the ability to replicate Xu Jianjuan’s success?’
’I’m not in the medicine department, nor do I have a talent for creating medicines.’
’If no one can develop the Awakening Potion, does that mean the plot of the grand finale has been changed too?’
Jian Yu didn’t like her life in the real world, and she wasn’t looking forward to the system coming to get her.
She was only worried about one thing: if the original female lead was absent from the project, would it cause the world of the novel to collapse?
"What part don’t you understand?" Ling Yanzhi woke up and silently took the book from her.
It was already afternoon, and she had turned to the last page of the book.
Ling Yanzhi raised an eyebrow. "What are you struggling with?"
