One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 109: Chapter 86: The Older, The More Flavorful

Gu Yan tried his best to appear quite alright.

He gave Ye Xiao a comforting look.

No need to worry about him.

He had tried countless times to fight against the plot before.

But.

He failed every time.

And he failed miserably, without the slightest chance to resist.

But this time

even if it was tougher.

even if it was more painful.

Yet, he had succeeded in resisting the plot!

Having experienced countless lifetimes, Gu Yan knew very clearly that this so-called plot no longer bound him as tightly as it did before.

All these changes, they must have come from Ye Xiao.

Xiaoxiao had already helped him so much.

How could he, then, let Xiaoxiao down?

Ye Bingtong was still following the plot.

The onlookers continued to watch, as if no one had noticed anything wrong.

Ye Xiao looked at Gu Yan blankly, feeling somewhat distressed for reasons she did not understand.

Uncle Gu… he…

really didn’t need to do this…

So.

Was she now feeling a tinge of heartache?

Ye Xiao thought somewhat blankly.

The plot went on.

Ye Bingtong had finished stating the terms of the bet.

Even though Gu Yan hadn’t verbally agreed,

Ye Bingtong still went ahead and walked to the basketball on her own accord.

Ye Xiao’s pupils constricted.

She wanted to see.

If this single altered character could change the entire plot.

If not, she would have to add more!

The plot was: Ye Bingtong, with tears in her eyes, picked up the basketball from the ground.

Ye Xiao altered a single character!

So.

Following the plot.

Ye Bingtong, with tears in her eyes, bent over to pick up the basketball from the ground.

However.

Just as Ye Bingtong’s hand touched the basketball.

The next moment.

Boom!

The basketball actually exploded!

Ye Xiao changed Ye Bingtong picking up the basketball to Ye Bingtong causing the basketball to explode!

So.

This large basketball, right in Ye Bingtong’s hands, went “bang” and just blew up!

Ye Bingtong was obviously stunned too.

The force of the exploding basketball reddened her hand, and some fragments of the basketball blasted onto her face.

It hurt like hell!

“Ah!!!!” Ye Bingtong covered her face and screamed shrilly.

At that moment.

Everyone seemed to snap out of their NPC state all at once.

They looked at Ye Bingtong with bewilderment.

Heavens.

What did they just witness?

A large basketball, crushed by Ye Bingtong with her bare hands?

This is… a female strongwoman!

Damn, that’s too awesome!

Ye Xiao still didn’t relax her guard.

Her body remained tense.

The basketball exploded!

What about the plot?

Had it completely changed?

She quickly looked at the book.

Indeed.

The plot that had already formed once again vanished!

This key part of the plot ended!

After all, with no basketball left, how could the bet continue!

Even if a new basketball could be fetched,

but with Ye Bingtong’s hand injured, and her face hit by fragments, she simply couldn’t go on!

Ye Xiao finally let out a long sigh of relief.

It was over.

This plotline, it had passed.

She subconsciously looked towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan had already unclenched his fists, and his whole demeanor had returned to its usual casualness.

Clearly, the constraints of the plot had also disappeared.

Gu Yan gave Ye Xiao a brilliant smile.

There were still spots of blood on his lips.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but mutter.

“What a fool.”

For some reason, Gu Yan felt that the word “fool” sounded nicer than “Uncle Gu.”

So, his smile became even more foolish.

Ye Xiao could hardly bear to look at his worthless expression.

Ye Xiao pursed her lips, walked over, and looked at Ye Bingtong with an expressionless face, “If I were you, I’d be rushing to the infirmary right now. Otherwise, if you end up with any permanent scars on your face, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Ye Bingtong had originally wanted to say something, but the mention of a “permanent scar” made her hesitate no more.

She looked pitifully at Gu Yan.

Seeing that Gu Yan was indifferent, she could only turn around and run to the infirmary herself.

Ye Xiao turned back to Gu Yan and handed him a piece of tissue.

Gu Yan smiled and carefully wiped the blood from his lips, “Sorry, did I scare you?”

Ye Xiao shook her head with mixed feelings, “No. The upcoming game…”

“This won’t affect my game,” Gu Yan raised his eyebrow.

Ye Xiao was resigned.

“Why is this man’s competitive spirit getting stronger the older he gets?”

Gu Yan’s expression stiffened.

He really wanted to say!

He was only a few years older, but in every other aspect, he was just as good as the young guys!

Fine! Now was the time to prove himself.

Seeing Gu Yan’s eager expression, as if he couldn’t wait to get back on the court, Ye Xiao couldn’t bring herself to stop him, and could only say, “Then be careful, and don’t push yourself if you feel unwell.”

Gu Yan’s smile suddenly rippled, “So, you are concerned about me?”

Ye Xiao sighed, “I can’t help it. If you, Uncle Gu, were to collapse, I definitely wouldn’t be able to carry you.”

Gu Yan couldn’t resist flicking her forehead, “Go sit down and watch properly!”

Ye Xiao obediently agreed.

A new basketball was quickly brought up.

The game was about to begin.

Ye Xiao actually wanted to know the outcome in advance.

However…

This basketball game had neither the hero nor the heroine present, and it was never recorded in the book, neither the process nor the result.

This time.

She was also totally unaware of the plot.

Ye Xiao looked at the game with a somewhat curious expression.

“Jiang Yunfeng, go for it!” a girl next to her suddenly shouted out loud.

Ye Xiao was startled.

The girl felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said, “What’s wrong, don’t you all cheer?”

She leaned in, asking curiously, “Are you President Gu’s girlfriend?”

Ye Xiao shook her head, “No, he’s a close friend of my brother’s, kind of an elder to me.”

“An… elder?” The girl was astonished.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled.

The girl’s eyes curved into a smile, “You see, this front row has another name.”

Was she starting a lesson on the spot?

Ye Xiao listened attentively.

“It’s known as the family support section,” the girl said with a smile.

The family support section?

Ye Xiao was immediately embarrassed.

She?

Family?

It would be more appropriate for my big brother to be here!

“Haha, it’s just a saying. You’re here to support President Gu, right? Cheer with me,” the girl invited warmly.

Ye Xiao could only nod her head.

When the game officially started.

Sure enough, there were various cheers coming one after another.

The girl next to her had an especially strong fighting spirit, with the words “Jiang Yuntao, go for it” echoing endlessly in her ears, making her head buzz.

And wouldn’t you know it.

The game was quite intense.

The young boys lacked experience and seemed to be a bit short on skills.

The other side, though weaker in physical strength, was far superior in skill and experience.

Ye Xiao’s gaze involuntarily settled on Gu Yan.

“Gu Yan, catch!” His teammate grabbed the rebound and passed it to him immediately.

Gu Yan caught the ball and ran like the wind, then leaped into the air.

He scored a three-pointer.

The sunlight was brilliant.

His spirit was exuberant.

Strangely enough… He actually looked quite handsome.

“Could it be that men really do get more attractive with age?”
