The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

The next morning, Ruan Yang was awakened by Jiang Yanci's kiss.

Her face was flushed, and she was panting. She pushed his shoulder with her palm and said softly, "I still have to go to work."

Jiang Yanci didn't do anything else, but gently touched her earlobe and asked in a muffled voice, "Are we going to try on wedding dresses again today?"

Ruan Yang suddenly remembered—

Her wedding with Jiang Yanci is on the 15th of this month, which is next week.

She felt inexplicably nervous.

In the storyline, neither of her two weddings went smoothly.

This time, she was worried that something bad would happen again.

However, she didn't care so much about claiming credit for the rescue.

She didn't intentionally claim the money, and her older brother and Ms. Yao are reasonable people who know she's not that kind of person.

Moreover, she did not take advantage of Jiang Zhuo's kindness to force him to marry her.

...She should be considered to have broken free of the villainous female supporting character stereotype, right?

Ruan Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's choose the one we ordered last time."

After a three-day absence, Ruan Yang returned to Xingcan. As soon as Meng Ling saw her, her eyes lit up with gossip.

"Yangyang, I saw the news! It's so exciting! Tell me, how did you and your ex-boyfriend get together?"

Ruan Yang was a little embarrassed and gave a rough account of what had happened.

Meng Ling bumped into something.

She raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, "How were the condoms I gave you last time? They were new, I haven't used them yet."

Ruan Yang's face turned red instantly.

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, but bringing it up brought back memories of what happened in the car yesterday.

Ruan Yang changed the subject, "How are things going with your 19-year-old brother?"

Meng Ling sighed, "It's a photo fraud."

Ruan Yang comforted her, "It's okay, the next one will be even more handsome."

Meng Ling said, "No, he's even more handsome than in the photos, and he even looks a bit like my ex-husband. Whenever I see him, I think of my ex-husband, and I get even angrier."

Ruan Yang wanted to comfort her, but she was too tongue-tied to speak, so she could only hug Meng Ling.

She asked, "I'm getting married on the 15th, can you be my bridesmaid?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Ling grinned from ear to ear, "Of course!"

In the morning, the boss brought some good news.

Meng Ling's ballet team won a spot in the national finals two weeks ago.

Meng Ling's eyes lit up. "Is there a bonus?"

The proprietress laughed, "Yes. If you can lead your students to win the gold medal for Xingcan, the prize money will be doubled!"

Meng Ling: "Yay!"

"The competition is in five days, and the final will be held in Macau."

"where?"

"Australia".

"..."

Meng Ling stopped giggling.

Macau Island was her ex-husband's territory. If it weren't for her professional ethics as a teacher, she really wouldn't want to go there.

Ruan Yang also felt a little regretful.

Meng Ling is her first good friend since she started working. The competition will last at least three days, so it seems that her senior won't be able to be her bridesmaid.

However, there is still good news.

Ruan Yang has started her period.

Since awakening her character, she no longer strictly controls her weight to below 90 pounds and eats more meat, eggs, and dairy products. This time, she doesn't have menstrual cramps.

Moreover, it provides a convenient excuse to avoid "practice".

that's nice!

For several days in a row, Ruan Yang went to work and left work on time, and returned to Yueban Bay with Jiang Yanci in the evening.

Jiang Zhuo hasn't contacted me since the last time at the coffee shop.

Qiao Lingling proactively revealed her illness on the internet and even posted a picture of a Swiss euthanasia appointment form.

She said that Jiang Zhuo being with her was fulfilling a dream she had before she died.

Who hasn't had a crush on a tall, thin, and handsome boy during their youth?

This tragic story led to a reversal in public opinion regarding Qiao Lingling and Jiang Zhuo.

Some people say Qiao Lingling is quite pitiful, while others say Jiang Zhuo meant well.

Some people lamented that Jiang Zhuo's good intentions in helping his high school classmate backfired, causing him to lose his lover.

A person is about to die.

Netizens stopped attacking the mistress and the scumbag, and the situation calmed down.

Qiao Lingling also donated the proceeds from the broadcast to girls in mountainous areas, and her reputation gradually recovered.

Some people donated money to her and advised her not to undergo euthanasia, but to receive treatment, saying that perhaps a miracle could happen.

Ruan Yang remembers that Qiao Lingling was not actually sick in the original novel.

The medical records were forged by Qiao Wei.

She gave her morally upright sister a chance to confess her feelings to Jiang Zhuo, and took the opportunity to bring the two together.

Even after they were discovered, no one blamed Qiao Lingling.

All they can say is, "The best thing in life is a false alarm."

Ruan Yang didn't care whether Qiao Lingling would be liked or whether her reputation would be reversed.

What others gain is not what you lose.

From beginning to end, all Ruan Yang wanted was a peaceful life.

As long as the main characters don't use her as a stepping stone, she won't be jealous no matter how wonderful and magnificent their lives are.

In the afternoon, she had no classes, so she went to a nearby coffee shop to buy a matcha latte.

The café has a subtly luxurious decor and blends seamlessly with the bookstore; it's not crowded on weekday afternoons.

Ruan Yang picked up a book and sat by the window in the corner to read.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.

"Le Jiao, thank you! As you said, my online reputation has improved a lot. But Weiwei confessed something to me; she said... my medical records are fake."

"She didn't want me to suffer in unrequited love forever; she wanted to give me a chance to bravely confess to A-Zhuo. I've already scolded her. If I didn't think I really didn't have much time left, I would never have bothered A-Zhuo and Miss Ruan..."

Qiao Lingling sobbed softly:

"Ah Zhuo seems to really like Miss Ruan. If it weren't for me, they would have been together long ago..."

"Le Jiao, am I really bad? What if A Zhuo and the netizens find out? Will they blame me?"

In this regard.

Song Lejiao was not surprised.

She comforted her, "Lingling, let me tell you the truth. Actually, the world you live in is a book. You are the female protagonist, and Jiang Zhuo is the male protagonist. Ruan Yang is just a drama queen ex-girlfriend at best."

"...What?"

"I don't know why the plot changed, but believe me, you and Jiang Zhuo are a match made in heaven!"

Song Lejiao paused, then continued:

"And I know a secret: Ruan Yang isn't Jiang Zhuo's savior; you are. Don't worry that your illness misunderstanding will affect your relationship with Jiang Zhuo, because once Ruan Yang's fraudulent claim of being Jiang Zhuo's savior is exposed, you'll be the victim."

Qiao Lingling's face lit up with joy.

But then she shook her head.

"……it's useless."

"After breaking up with Jiang Zhuo, Ruan Yang seamlessly took over from Jiang Yanci. He is the head of the Jiang family, so even if this matter is exposed, the Jiang family will protect Ruan Yang."

Upon hearing this, Song Lejiao shook her head and said firmly, "No way."

Not far away, Ruan Yang felt a tremor in her heart, not understanding why she spoke with such certainty.

Then Song Lejiao lowered her voice.

"Lingling, this is also what I wanted to tell you. The plot has changed for some reason. Jiang Yanci is not dead, but don't worry, Jiang Yanci's official partner is not Ruan Yang. I saw a new plot segment."

"What clip?"

"I saw Jiang Yanci pull a girl with short white hair into his arms, saying he'd been looking for her for many years. Everyone in the Jiang family likes this girl very much; I bet she must be Jiang Yanci's 'white moonlight'!"

Song Lejiao continued:

"I saw Ruan Yang's fate!"

"She will be locked up, and Jiang Yanci will stand in front of her with a cold expression, saying that she brought it all on herself and that he will no longer feel sorry for her."

"It must be that vicious supporting character who did something evil again, something to the white moonlight!"

"She's in big trouble for angering Jiang Yanci!"
