After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 26.3

Yun Yifan sprawled out as if he weren’t perched on a toilet but lounging on a luxurious sofa in a VIP suite.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, recalling the moment Fang Qingying had stopped him at the door. Yun Yifan pulled out his phone from his pocket and began typing furiously.

Yun Yifan: Boss! Save me!

Yun Yifan: Boss, I’m trapped in the restroom!

Yun Yifan: Boss, don’t ignore me!

Yun Yifan: ……

Under Yun Yifan’s relentless harassment, the other party finally responded with a single, stingy question mark.

Yun Yifan’s eyes lit up, sensing an opportunity, and he immediately launched into another rapid-fire barrage of messages, like bullets flying out.

Yun Yifan: Sis! You’re my real sister, please come take your little wife away?

Yun Yifan: Fang Qingying is acting weird again, she’s blocking the restroom door!

Yun Yifan: I’m really not interested in her. The only reason I helped her last time was because of you. So, sis, can you come save me? Take your wife away?

After typing all this, Yun Yifan suddenly heard a ding from his phone. A contact labeled This is the Big Boss, My Sister had replied.

This is the Big Boss, My Sister: Speak properly. Who’s acting weird?

At this, his heart sank.

Yun Yifan: Sis, that’s not the point! The point is your wife is blocking the restroom door, ahhh!

This is the Big Boss, My Sister: Shut up. I’ll be out in thirty minutes.

Seeing the message, Yun Yifan finally relaxed. Okay, he was saved. All he had to do was stay in the restroom for thirty minutes?

Yun Yifan instantly bristled. A grown man like him, hiding in the restroom for thirty minutes?

What would people think if they found out? His sister really prioritized her wife over her brother.

Meanwhile, Fang Qingying hesitated outside the restroom, debating whether to let this opportunity slip or keep waiting.

But with so many people coming and going, maybe she should just give up? If word got out that she was loitering outside the restroom, it might worry Fang Qingyu.

Besides, Fang Qingying had another reason for attending this banquet, to protect Fang Qingyu and make sure no one harmed him.

Having made up her mind, Fang Qingying clenched her small pink fists, psyching herself up. But just as she took a few steps away, she accidentally bumped straight into someone’s chest.

Dazed, she looked up, her cheeks tingling from the soft contact.

The woman wore a fiery red gown that hugged her figure, exuding allure and charm.

Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her back, partially obscuring her delicate shoulder blades, creating a hazy, mesmerizing beauty.

She reached out and steadied Fang Qingying by the waist, preventing her from stumbling back.

Softly, she asked, “Xiao Ying, what are you doing here?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Qingying jerked her head up, her cherry lips parting slightly in surprise. “Xiao Xiao? Why are you here?”

Even though Fang Qingying knew Gu Shengxiao would definitely be at this banquet, she couldn’t outright ask her. After all, she couldn’t explain how she knew Gu Shengxiao would be attending.

“I happen to have an endorsement deal with the Yun family, so I was invited,” Gu Shengxiao replied, lips curving as she feigned nonchalance. “But Xiao Ying, what are you doing here?”

She was certain that the Fang Qingying standing before her now was the very girl she, Gu Shengxiao, had been pining for, the one she held dear in her heart.

But Fang Qingying’s unusual behavior toward Yun Yifan had stirred up dark thoughts within her that she couldn’t suppress.

If it weren’t for her, Gu Shengxiao thought she might have seized another version of Fang Qingying and locked her away where no one could see her, waiting until the Fang Qingying she loved reappeared.

She was lucky.

Fang Qingying was still Fang Qingying, unchanged in any way.

Thinking this, Gu Shengxiao couldn’t help but tighten her embrace slightly, as if trying to meld Fang Qingying into her very bones. In places Fang Qingying couldn’t see, her eyes held restrained yet inscrutable emotions.

“I just wanted to use the restroom,” Fang Qingying said with an awkward smile, afraid Gu Shengxiao would see through her.

She didn’t want Gu Shengxiao to know she had come here looking for Yun Yifan, especially since she didn’t want Gu Shengxiao to misunderstand and think she had feelings for him.

After all, she was deeply closeted.

And Gu Shengxiao happened to fit exactly the type she was attracted to. In a way, Fang Qingying didn’t want her to misunderstand.

“But it seems like someone’s already in there?” Gu Shengxiao asked, puzzled, eyeing the locked restroom door.

Fortunately, the Yun family’s banquet was held in their own courtyard, where each restroom could only accommodate one person at a time and there was more than one restroom available.

“Ah, seems like it. Should we go then?”

Fang Qingying wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole, hiding her completely.

Leaning into Gu Shengxiao’s embrace, the parts of her not covered by her long hair revealed first her adorable reddened ears, then a slender stretch of pale nape that inexplicably made Gu Shengxiao want to bite down.

Of course, hearing Fang Qingying suggest they leave, how could Gu Shengxiao refuse?

The two walked out side by side, one in red, the other in blue, a perfect match.

Knowing Fang Qingying had a sweet tooth, Gu Shengxiao guided her toward the food area.

888: [Ahhh! You need to pay attention to the task deadline!] Once a task began, its duration varied depending on circumstances. So the task Fang Qingying had accepted had to be completed before midnight.

Fang Qingying lowered her gaze imperceptibly, replying silently to 888, “I know, don’t worry.”

Gu Shengxiao handed her a small cake, which she accepted gladly, though her eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

She knew her alcohol tolerance was poor, but she always managed to get things done when drunk so she decided to take a gamble.

Just as Fang Qingying spotted Yun Yifan, she noticed his path was converging with theirs.

Seizing the moment when Gu Shengxiao wasn’t paying attention, she downed a glass of whiskey in one gulp.

Almost instantly, the alcohol rushed to her head. Her vision blurred as she stared at Yun Yifan approaching, her fair cheeks flushing with intoxication.

Staggering slightly, she moved toward Yun Yifan. When they were still five or six meters apart, she called out with surprising vigor, “Yun Yifan!”

The moment Yun Yifan heard Fang Qingying call his name, he should have turned away. But with so many people around, he couldn’t just ignore her.

So, he turned, his sharp brows slightly furrowed, his expression cold with irritation at the disturbance.

He asked, “Miss Fang, is there something you’d like to say?”

If not, he wanted to leave the scene immediately. Was Fang Qingying insane? Why was she so determined to cling to him?

As he stood beside Fang Qingying, watching Gu Shengxiao’s icy expression darken, his desire to distance himself from her grew even stronger. What if Gu Shengxiao ended up beating him to death?

Ignoring everything else, Fang Qingying took a deep breath and strode toward him with an intimidating air, firing off her accusations word by word.

“Yun Yifan, how would you feel if someone died because of you?”

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell into a hushed silence, as if everyone feared being implicated in whatever was about to unfold.

“Huh? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?” Yun Yifan, utterly baffled, instinctively retorted to Fang Qingying.

To his surprise, Fang Qingying didn’t say another word. Without even turning her head, she grabbed Gu Shengxiao’s hand and walked away.

Yun Yifan: “???”

What the hell was going on? What exactly was Fang Qingying trying to do? Leaving a sentence hanging like that was downright infuriating.

If he didn’t care about Gu Shengxiao’s reaction, he would’ve immediately stopped Fang Qingying and demanded she explain herself. What did she mean by, “how would you feel if someone died because of you”?

Who even came up with such an absurd question? He’d make sure to deal with them personally.
