What Should I do After Binding the Wrong System and the Female Lead comes Knocking at my Door? - Chapter 28.1

The woman said “Oh, oh,” a few times and waved her hand awkwardly: “There’s no need for you two to say ‘your honored surname.’ My surname is Tian, and my name is Tian Tian. My husband’s surname is Xie, and the child’s name is Xie Yiren.”

“Xie Yiren, the name sounds like a beautiful little girl.”

“It was given by that girl Yanyan back then. She is the only college student in our village these years, so after the child was born, her father took half a sheep to Yanyan’s house to call her for a name.”

“Don’t even mention it, the names given by educated people are different from ours. Even I, her old mother, am envious of the name and wish I could take it and call myself Tian Yiren.”

Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing were amused and laughed heartily.

“Sister Tian, with your personality, Yiren will certainly not be bad in the future.”

“Oh, if Yiren can be even a little bit like you two in the future, I will be completely satisfied. Your parents must also be people who deeply love their children.”

Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing fell silent.

Tian Tian’s heart skipped a beat when she saw their reaction. She realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized to them: “Look at me, I talk too much.”

Pei Yuanxi smiled nonchalantly: “It’s okay, Sister Tian. Ah-Qing’s parents and mine are no longer in this world.”

Her own parents are both deceased, and Gu Qing transmigrated here, so saying they are not in this world is not wrong.

Seeing the usually humorous and witty Sister Tian now looking embarrassed, Gu Qing pursed her lips and, in turn, comforted her: “Sister Tian, don’t worry, neither of us minds.”

Tian Tian finally let out a sigh of relief but didn’t dare to say anything more.

And the comments section immediately started discussing.

[Wuwuwu, we knew about Yuanxi’s situation, I didn’t expect Gu Qing to be the same.]

[Let’s not talk about these sad things. I only envy that little girl named Yiren now. She will see her idol as soon as she gets out of school. Heavens, how happy would I be if it were me, a little girl.]

[Yuanxi, where are you going to sleep tonight?]

Pei Yuanxi saw this message and hesitated, saying to Gu Qing: “Logically, we should sleep at Sister Chu Chu’s house with my sister, but thinking about it carefully, I don’t know if Sister Chu Chu’s house has any extra rooms.”

At this moment, Sister Tian heard them and quickly persuaded: “What’s the matter? You two can sleep at my house. My man went to sell the grain in another city and won’t be back for a day or two. Yiren will sleep with me tonight, and you and Miss Ah-Qing can sleep in Yiren’s room, how about that?”

Gu Qing looked at Pei Yuanxi, and her red lips slightly parted: “I’ll follow your lead.”

“That would be too much trouble for you, Sister Tian.”

Hearing Pei Yuanxi say this, Sister Tian laughed heartily: “I’m doing this for that girl. If you two sleep at my house, that girl will definitely be very happy. And since tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday, she doesn’t have school. She can take you two to play in the back mountain as well.”

Pei Yuanxi was taken aback: “Sigh… Sister Tian, I appreciate your kindness, but isn’t it dangerous on the mountain? Are you comfortable letting Yiren go to the back mountain?”

“It’s fine. The fun spots on the back mountain were cleared out jointly by the nearby villages a long time ago. Nothing has happened all these years.”

Speaking of this, Sister Tian lowered her voice and whispered: “Not to mention anything else, the officials heard about your investment a while ago, so how could they not do something? I saw many people swarming back and forth on the mountain a few days ago. I asked around, and they said they were checking for safety issues. Several paths up the mountain have already been worn down.”

Pei Yuanxi smiled: “Alright, then we will take you up on your offer, Sister Tian. Ah-Qing and I will be bothering you for the next two days. It’s a good opportunity to play with my little fan.”

Tian Tian was overjoyed and quickly nodded: “Good, good, good. I’ll go prepare dinner for tonight.”

Pei Yuanxi stopped her: “You don’t have to do that yet. We should be eating at Sister Chu Chu’s house tonight.”

“Oh, that’s true. Look at me! Well, since the sun is still out now, I’ll go air out the bedding for you two.”

“Thank you, Sister Tian. How about this, Ah-Qing and I will go out for a walk first and come back to bother you later? Oh, right, please don’t tell Yiren yet. I want to give her a surprise tonight.”

“Good, good, good, you two go on.”

After Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing got up and left, they walked towards the inspection team’s assistant who was waiting at the door: “What’s the situation now?”

“President Pei and the others have gone up the mountain for the inspection. She asked me to wait for you two here.”

Pei Yuanxi nodded and quietly instructed: “Check on this family, see if there are any rumors about them.”

The assistant nodded and left first.

Pei Yuanxi held the phone, chatting with the comments and talking to Gu Qing.

The two slowly walked along the village. Pei Yuanxi rubbed her hand. Gu Qing saw it and took the phone from Pei Yuanxi’s hand: “I’ll hold it for a while.”

Pei Yuanxi didn’t refuse and sighed: “I’m actually missing Baizhou now. If she were here, she could follow us and film us.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qing’s phone rang. The two looked and saw it was Baizhou’s call.

“Hello, Ah-Zhou?”

“Ah-Qing, why didn’t you call me when you two went out to have fun! I’ve been watching Yuanxi’s livestream. Do you miss me now?”

Pei Yuanxi was stunned and quickly chimed in: “Then come now, you can help me bring some things.”

“Bring what?”

“You should have seen on the livestream that there’s a little girl who’s my fan. Help Ah-Qing and me buy some gifts.”

“Okay, where will I sleep when I arrive?”

That was a problem. Pei Yuanxi hesitated and looked at Gu Qing. Gu Qing lowered her eyes and said: “When Ah-Zhou arrives, let her sleep with us.”

Since they were live streaming, Baizhou didn’t hesitate much. After confirming, she hung up the phone.

And in the comments section, some people had already noticed the details.

[Oh my goodness, I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but did Yuanxi deliberately look at Gu Qing just now?]

[Above, you’re not alone.]

[Sigh… And it was Gu Qing who made the decision. How intimate must they be to interact like this in a normal situation?]

[Anyway, I would not dare to make any decisions for my boss.]

[I’m shipping it, I’m shipping it.]

[Nooo, our “Perfect Match” is the proper pairing, all others are heresy!]

Gu Qing glanced at the screen, seeing the topic of discussion in the comments now, but didn’t say anything more, letting the netizens make their own assumptions.

However, just as Baizhou’s call ended, Wen Liang’s call came in.

Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing exchanged glances. Pei Yuanxi took Gu Qing’s phone and walked away.

“Hello, Wen-Wen?”

Only a slightly weary voice came from the phone: “Yuanxi…”

“Tell me, Wen-Wen.”

“Did Baizhou just call and say she was coming?”

“Are you watching the livestream too?”

“Mm… Can I come?”

Pei Yuanxi felt a pang of sympathy. When had the always brave and heroic Wen Liang ever been so cautious?

But she was caught between the two of them and couldn’t say anything. The matter had already happened, and she was partly responsible for just wanting to watch the show.

“It’s fine, you can come, Wen-Wen. This place has beautiful mountains and rivers, which is very suitable for relaxing. Maybe you and Ah-Zhou just need an opportunity like this.”

Wen Liang felt relieved that Pei Yuanxi didn’t refuse her and quickly said: “Okay, then I’ll go get ready.”

Pei Yuanxi suddenly had an idea.

“Wen-Wen, don’t rush. After you get off the plane, don’t come straight over. Find an RV in that city and drive it here. That way, you and Ah-Zhou won’t have to worry about where to sleep.”

“Good, then let’s talk when we meet.”

Pei Yuanxi sighed. Wen-Wen and Ah-Zhou’s relationship problems needed to be resolved, and she and Ah-Qing also needed to talk.

After all, she had promised Ah-Qing to figure things out by the next time they met.

Gu Qing hadn’t brought it up yet, but she couldn’t pretend not to know. She hadn’t forgotten about the bunny girl waiting for her.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yuanxi casually scanned Gu Qing’s phone screen and found that it had unlocked without a password.

She looked at Gu Qing, who was chatting with the comments in the distance, then turned around and secretly opened WeChat.

She didn’t intend to do anything. She just wanted to see what her remark was in Ah-Qing’s phone.

She opened WeChat and saw that she was sticked to the top. The remark only had one word: Light.

Pei Yuanxi felt warm and sweet inside. Of course, she knew the meaning of this “Light.”

I’m starting to feel happy again…

Summary of the Livestream

The livestream, started by Pei Yuanxi and featuring Gu Qing, quickly attracts a large audience. The purpose is to share their experience of a rural inspection trip with Pei Muchan (Yuanxi’s older sister and founder of Muxi Investment) and Chu Qingyan (Muxi executive, whose hometown they are visiting).

• Pei Muchan briefly greets the audience, confirming her gentle and professional image.
• Chu Qingyan reveals the beauty of the area, mentioning a waterfall and hot spring in the back mountain, which the group is there to assess for potential tourism and city-wide development.
• Upon arrival, a group of villagers gathers. Pei Yuanxi introduces herself and Gu Qing. When some villagers start gossiping about Chu Qingyan’s sexuality and history, Pei Yuanxi asserts her position as a businessperson, reminding them that their words are being livestreamed to the entire nation and to be careful with their conduct to secure the investment.
• The conversation shifts when a friendly villager, Tian Tian, intervenes. Tian Tian reveals her daughter, Xie Yiren (who is in third grade), is a huge fan of Pei Yuanxi and earned money for movie tickets by doing homework.
• Tian Tian surprises Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing with her progressive views on child-rearing, prioritizing her daughter’s mental health over academic pressure, which earns her praise from the audience.
• Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing reveal that their parents are deceased, a moment Tian Tian quickly apologizes for bringing up.
• Baizhou calls after watching the stream and decides to join them, with Pei Yuanxi tasking her to bring gifts for the young fan, Yiren. Gu Qing decides that Baizhou can sleep with them.
• Wen Liang also calls, sounding slightly weary, and asks if she can join. Pei Yuanxi, hoping to help resolve the tension between Wen Liang and Baizhou, encourages her to come and suggests she drive an RV for accommodation.
• Pei Yuanxi, after hanging up with Wen Liang, checks Gu Qing’s phone (which has no password) and sees her WeChat is set to the top with the one word note: “Light.”

What do you think will happen when Baizhou and Wen Liang arrive, and what do you think Pei Yuanxi will say to Gu Qing about their relationship?
