Little Expert Bending Plot Lines Back

　”Little Yun, the school celebration will be in a few days. Are your songs ready?” Yu Caishan asked Miao Anyun, who was sitting in front of the piano.
　　
　　”Yes.” Miao Anyun nodded towards Yu Caishan.
　　
　　He had already practiced this song for a few weeks. Speaking of this, although the music club was indeed preparing a program for the school celebration, he didn’t necessarily have to perform.
　　
　　Even if he just counted the people he knew about, there were still a lot of people preparing to compete for a spot to perform. Those who did get a spot would always be the best members in the club. And, the club president must be the most excellent of them all. Every year, this school anniversary celebration was the time to determine who the next president was. This probably counted as a symbol of honor?
　　
　　In any case, Miao Anyun didn’t have any thoughts about this. He didn’t have any interest towards this kind of competition to become the president. His family’s cousin had always been trying to throw this burden onto him.
　　
　　Yu Caishan looked at the cold-faced Miao Anyun, wanting to say something, when her phone sounded, interrupting her. She hurriedly grabbed her phone and glanced at it, causing a warm smile to appear on her face.
　　
　　Miao Anyun expressed that he didn’t even need to look at her to know that it was the mysterious cousin-in-law who called.
　　
　　”Little Yun, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first! Bye~” Yu Caishan smiled sweetly, grabbed her school uniform jacket, and hurried away.
　　
　　Miao Anyun: So I really fell out of favor…
　　
　　#What should I do about being played everyday, waiting online, urgent#
　　
　　Miao Anyun took a look at the time and thought that it was also about time for him to leave.
　　
　　————————
　　
　　Xia Youyou left school late today because of some club activities. By the time she left, the sky had already become dark. She was walking on the road by herself at the moment. After seeing Miao Anyun play the piano that time, Lin Haoyan had started to alienate her somewhat and stopped sending her home.
　　
　　Xia Youyou had already been a little upset originally. Now that she found that her path had deliberately been blocked by several people, she became even more angry.
　　
　　”What are you guys trying to do?” Xia Youyou asked, restraining her temper.
　　
　　Standing in front of her and blocking her from leaving were a few men dressed like gangsters.
　　
　　”Little sister, you have a good figure. Want to play with us brothers? Big brother promises that you’ll enjoy it?” The one who seemed to be the leader of this group of gangsters opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. His leering little eyes scanned all over the currently angered Xia Youyou’s body.
　　
　　”You’re looking for death!” Being looked at with this kind of annoying gaze, Xia Youyou couldn’t bear it anymore. She clenched her fist and punched the gangster in the nose.
　　
　　”Ow!” The gangster’s nose was hit harshly by Xia Youyou and he couldn’t help but take a few steps back, clutching his nose. He felt a warm liquid flowing out of his nostrils and when he touched his nose with his hand, he saw red blood smears. “You want to choose the hard way? Brothers, attack!”
　　
　　Xia Youyou resisted at first, knocking down a few gangsters, but towards the end, she could only dodge passively. Even though she’d learned Taekwondo before, she was, after all, a girl without much strength or energy. And not only were these gangsters physically strong, they were also obscenely dedicated to attacking a girl’s private parts. Adding on their advantage in numbers, Xia Youyou quickly fell into a disadvantage, unable to support herself.
　　
　　If it wasn’t because there were too many of them, overpowering her technique with brute force, she would never have fallen into this situation.
　　
　　It wasn’t that she didn’t think about running away, but these people had long had her surrounded. She simply couldn’t even find a chance to escape.
　　
　　Xia Youyou was a bit upset at having been forced into this situation. If she hadn’t fallen out with Lin Haoyan and ridden the car back home, would she have been able to avoid this situation?
　　
　　She looked at the slowly approaching gangsters with a little despair. Someone, come save her! Anyone was fine! Brother Yun…
　　
　　The gangsters in front of her were suddenly knocked to the ground. That person opened a gap and pulled her out by the hand as they started to run.
　　
　　The two ran for a while before they were able to shake off that group of gangsters.
　　
　　”Thank… Miao Anyun, how is it you!?” Xia Youyou was just about to thank that person when he turned around, revealing a very familiar face.
　　
　　”Oh, so you won’t even say a few words of thanks?” He indifferently pried Xia Youyou’s hand off. Miao Anyun looked at the female lead in front of him who had just been acting like a little white flower, twin streams of tears flowing down her cheeks, but then changed her face as soon as she saw her savior.
　　
　　As for why he had appeared there? Actually, Miao Anyun had originally planned on driving home, but 0237 suddenly said that there was a plot event that he needed to participate in. He ran the whole way there and as soon as he arrived, he saw the female lead being forced into a corner by a group of gangsters. Miao Anyun brought the female lead out and ran away without a single word.
　　
　　Heaven knows why the female lead, a rich daughter of a large family, would walk home alone. No matter how Miao Anyun thought about it, he just couldn’t understand. In the end, he could only attribute it to the plot.
　　
　　Speaking of which, did the female lead say something just now?
　　
　　”What did you just say?” Miao Anyun asked straightforwardly.
　　
　　”I said, thank you!” Xia Youyou was a little angry. She felt that this guy hadn’t been listening to her at all just now.
　　
　　”You’re welcome. I just didn’t want to see someone from school being bullied by outsiders. Don’t think too much.” ←The usual lines spewed by his poisonous tongue towards the female lead.
　　
　　”I know!” Xia Youyou angrily retorted. She turned away, wanting to leave.
　　
　　”Hey,” Miao Anyun suddenly called Xia Youyou.
　　
　　”What else do you want?” Xia Youyou angrily turned around.
　　
　　”I’ll send you home,” Miao Anyun said naturally.
　　
　　”Huh?” Xia Youyou’s expression looked as if she had just seen a ghost. She suspected that she was hearing hallucinations. “What did you just say?”
　　
　　”I’ll send you home. Let’s go,” Miao Anyun repeated impatiently. He didn’t wait for Xia Youyou’s reply and took her hand as he started to walk.
　　
　　”Huh, eh?” Xia Youyou was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. “Let go of me! Hey…”
　　
　　The handsome, elegant, and indifferent youth pulled the pretty girl along. A handsome boy and a pretty girl, they looked like a perfect match.
　　
　　……
　　
　　The Xia Family’s Front Door
　　
　　”We’re here. I’ll leave first.” Right after sending Xia Youyou to the door, Miao Anyun decided to leave.
　　
　　”Okay. About today’s matter… thank you.” Xia Youyou was a little embarrassed and told Miao Anyun thanks in a quiet voice.
　　
　　Miao Anyun also didn’t use his poisonous tongue on Xia Youyou as usual. His back faced Xia Youyou and his steps didn’t stop. His head didn’t even turn as he waved a hand.
　　
　　Xia Youyou’s gaze followed him as he slowly walked further away. Just as she prepared to go inside, she suddenly saw a necklace laying on the ground. It was probably dropped by Miao Anyun. She picked up the necklace and just as she planned to give chase, she discovered that Miao Anyun was nowhere to be found. She could only put away the necklace and try to return it to him tomorrow.
　　
　　————————
　　
　　Today, Miao Anyun arrived at school very early, as usual. What surprised him was that the female lead Xia Youyou, who always liked to arrive right as the bell rang, actually arrived a bit earlier than him.
　　
　　”…” Today’s Xia Youyou was extremely silent. She sported two big, dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she hadn’t slept well last night.
　　
　　”This necklace, is it yours?” Xia Youyou opened her fist, revealing a delicate necklace in the middle of her palm.
　　
　　”Yes.” Miao Anyun took the necklace and extremely carefully put it away, close to his body. “Thanks.” Even though his tone was indifferent, it wasn’t hard to hear the seriousness in it.
　　
　　”… Is this necklace very important to you?” Xia Youyou looked at Miao Anyun with a complicated expression.
　　
　　Yesterday, she felt that this necklace was very familiar, but unfortunately, she couldn’t seem to recall where she had seen it before. However, she had accidentally looked at a picture of her and Brother Yun from before and realized, wasn’t this Brother Yun’s most cherished necklace?
　　
　　So, was Miao Anyun her Brother Yun? But in her memories, Brother Yun’s eyebrows were always curved and he would gently comfort her. The difference between him and her impression of that indifferent and bad school idol spanned more than a hundred and eight thousand miles.
　　
　　”Yes,” Miao Anyun replied in a low voice. After a while, he continued, “This was left to me by my mother. It was her last gift to me…”
　　
　　Xia Youyou originally thought that she would want to gloat seeing Miao Anyun’s sad appearance, but it was too bad that she didn’t. After she realized that Miao Anyun was Brother Yun, she couldn’t hate him anymore. Seeing this young man’s distressed look, Xia Youyou immediately felt some heartache.
　　
　　What had happened after that time? Why did that originally gentle Brother Yun change to become indifferent and bad?
　　
　　”What are you guys doing?” Lin Haoyan’s angry voice rang out.
　　
　　Lin Haoyan had felt worried about Xia Youyou towards the end yesterday, but when he had driven into the vicinity of Xia Youyou’s house, he saw Xia Youyou bowing her head and thanking Miao Anyun shyly.
　　
　　The atmosphere between the two people was very good. When this scene entered Lin Haoyan’s eyes, unstoppable jealousy flowed in his heart, but he couldn’t tell who it was for. He turned his car around and left without hesitation.
　　
　　He had been hiding from Miao Anyun recently, wondering just who he actually cared about. Yesterday, he saw the two interacting again, making it hard for him to sleep. Today, he came to school with the same dark circles as Xia Youyou.
　　
　　He never thought that he would be stimulated by Miao Anyun and Xia Youyou as soon as he arrived at school.
　　
　　Just now, Miao Anyun and Xia Youyou had been leaning really close to each other. From Lin Haoyan’s angle, it looked like they were hugging each other. Although he still hadn’t figured out who he liked, it didn’t prevent him from becoming jealous. Naturally, he exploded.
　　
　　When it came to Lin Haoyan, even if he just rolled his eyes, Miao Anyun would know what he was thinking.
　　
　　And so, he opened his mouth to explain. “You’ve misunderstood. Youyou was only returning my necklace to me.”
　　
　　Youyou. Such an intimate name for her. It would’ve been fine had he not explained, but after he explained, it actually made Lin Haoyan give an angry laugh. He slammed the door without a word as he left. Miao Anyun and Xia Youyou were left behind to exchange glances.
　　
　　”What’s wrong with him?” Xia Youyou hesitated to open her mouth. Lin Haoyan had never made such a big display of his temper in front of her before. In front of her, he had always tried to display a perfect, elegant image, never crossing any lines.
　　
　　”Maybe he’s just in a bad mood?” Miao Anyun was also a little confused and blinked his eyes. At this kind of time, even if he was Lin Haoyan’s childhood friend, he still wouldn’t know what he was thinking.
　　
　　”Oh.” Xia Youyou replied obediently, expressing that whatever Brother Yun said was right. After all, the one she liked the most was Brother Yun.
　　
　　————————
　　
　　The more Lin Haoyan thought about it, the angrier he got. His heart felt stifled, but he was still at a loss as to who his anger was directed at.
　　
　　After hesitating for a bit, Lin Haoyan took out his phone, planning to ask for outside help.
　　
　　[Lin Haoyan: I want to ask you something.
　　
　　Gu Wende: Ah, my respected young master. What are you calling me for so early in the morning? Never mind, never mind. Ask quickly, I still want to continue sleeping.
　　
　　Lin Haoyan: If you steal something from a person, does it mean that you really like that thing?
　　
　　Gu Wende: Why are you suddenly asking this?
　　
　　Lin Haoyan: What are you asking so much for? Just quickly answer me.
　　
　　Gu Wende: Sometimes, when you steal things from a person, it might not necessarily be because of that thing? I think it could also be about the person you stole the thing from.
　　
　　Gu Wende: For example, last time, I stole an antique from Ji Kangle, that evildoer. I didn’t take the antique because I liked it, but because the person I was stealing it from was Ji Kangle. You didn’t see it, but at that time, Ji Kangle was so angry his face turned blue. Even now, I become happy whenever I recall it. [proud]
　　
　　Lin Haoyan: Okay, I know. Stop being so wordy, you should continue sleeping.
　　
　　Gu Wende: WTF, you disturbed me so early in morning just to ask me one question!? Lin Haoyan, what’s wrong with you!?]
　　
　　Lin Haoyan didn’t pay him any more attention. His heart was very turbulent. Fighting over something didn’t necessarily mean that it was because of that thing. It could be because of the person that the thing was stolen from… He had those feelings, he just never thought in that direction. Now that he had, he suddenly felt as if everything was clear .
　　
　　He was probably… wrong from the start. Starting from his last life, his target of envy had always been Xia Youyou. He envied that she could stand openly by Little Yun’s side, envied that she could snatch away all of Little Yun’s attention… so stealing Xia Youyou from Little Yun, it wasn’t because he liked Xia Youyou, but that he hadn’t wanted the two of them to be together.
　　
　　Before, he had always thought that he liked girls, so he mistook his loved one to be Xia Youyou. He actually spent two worlds’ worth of time to clearly understand his own heart. It really made him a little speechless.
　　
　　Fortunately, he felt that it wasn’t too late. He still had a chance! Lin Haoyan’s eyes brightened and his expression slowly became resolute.
