Chapter 382: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Ling Xiao is a stubborn person. He regards Wen Yu as the light that saves him and is willing to give everything for her.
That's what he's always done.
In his heart, Wen Yu had always been kind and good. He did those things willingly, without her knowledge, and he never intended for her to know.
But Wen Yu, who was so kind in his heart, couldn't wait to sever ties with him as soon as he got into trouble, without even asking if it was true or not.
This caused a slight crack in his positive perception of Wen Yu.
However, he did not hate Wen Yu because of this, and even planned to take all the blame himself, including the matter of Wen Yu framing Song Yunqing.
He knew that all of this was He Chengyi's revenge, and he knew that he was finished. He didn't make any futile struggles, but just waited for the police to come to his hospital bed.
All he wants now is to protect Wen Yu.
However, he never expected that his world would collapse in the blink of an eye.
He stared intently at one of the photos posted by the Song Group's official account.
That was a photo of Song Yunqing when she was ten years old. Her features hadn't fully developed yet, and she still had baby fat on her face. Although she was a little beauty, a close comparison of her features reveals similarities to her current appearance. However, at first glance, she looks quite different from how she looks now.
Ling Xiao stared at the photo, examining it carefully for a long time.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and his whole body was trembling. The pain from his injuries was excruciating, a pain that seemed to penetrate to the bone.
How could this be? How could it be Song Yunqing?
The aunt who took away the girl who saved him was Wen Yu's mother!
Ling Xiao first noticed Wen Yu because he found her dropped wallet and saw a photo of an aunt inside. He asked Wen Yu about it, and she said that it was her mother, who had passed away.
He then assumed that Wen Yu was the young lady who had saved him years ago.
He had also thanked Wen Yu for saving him, and Wen Yu did not deny it, but told him not to take it to heart.
But now they're telling him he might have been mistaken all along?
What he didn't know was that Wen Yu's mother had worked as a nanny in the Song family for a period of time and had taken care of Song Yunqing. However, she was kicked out not long after because of her dishonest practices.
She naturally wouldn't tell her daughter about such a shameful thing, so even Wen Yu didn't know that her mother had once worked as a nanny in the Song family.
Wen Yu is portrayed as a kind and optimistic person. From childhood to adulthood, he has done many things such as scaring away bad children, giving a crying child a piece of candy, and helping lost children find their mothers. Who knows what kind of kindness he is referring to?
He didn't mention the so-called favor he was owed. He single-handedly beat up several older kids, making them scream and run away in a sorry state. He even threatened them, saying that if they dared to bully others again, he would use hacking technology to find their addresses and wipe them out!
At that time, Song Yunqing had learned some martial arts from her sister and was eager to help others. So, when she saw injustice on the road, she saved this troublemaker.
In the original storyline, Ling Xiao contributed significantly to the tragic end of this villainous female supporting character.
Ling Xiao sobbed in anguish, filled with remorse. Finally, he understood why, despite his ulterior motives in approaching Song Yunqing, he couldn't help but fall for her and even promised to marry her.
It turns out she was his older sister.
His fingers trembled as he tried to call Yun Qing, only to find that he didn't have her number or any other way to contact her. The group chat that the production team had created for the variety show had also been disbanded.
By the time he finally managed to get Yun Qing's phone number, it was almost dawn. His eyes were bloodshot, and he cautiously dialed the number, but no one answered.

He Chengyi stared at Yun Qing's sleeping face for a while, then gently got up, tucked her in, put on a robe, and left the room for the study. [System.]
The Matchmaker System, which had been feigning death and letting Wen Yu vent her anger, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rolled back. [Host!]
He Cheng also asked: "You said you abandoned the mission, so is it still possible to 'swap souls' now?"
[Yes, host. Do you want to switch now?]
Before He Chengyi could speak, he saw Yun Qing, wrapped in a blanket, with her eyes half-closed, "float" past the study door like a ghost.
He paused for a moment, then quickly said, "I'll change it when I have time. You just disappear right now!"
system:……
Feeling wronged, the system silently rolled back to Wen Yu's side.
He Chengyi walked out of the study, "Qingqing..."
Upon hearing his voice, Yun Qing stopped in her tracks, paused for a moment, then slowly turned and moved toward him. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed into his arms.
He Chengyi quickly hugged her, blanket and all, and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping properly?"
Yun Qing was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, her mind a complete blank. With her eyes closed, she mumbled, "Heartless man..."
He Chengyi picked her up and carried her to the room, saying helplessly, "How did I become a heartless man?"
Yun Qing leaned on his shoulder and whimpered as if talking in her sleep, "You don't even need to wrap your tail around me anymore... You don't love me anymore..."
He Chengyi: ? ? ?
"What tail?"
Yun Qing had already fallen into a deep sleep and did not answer him.
He Chengyi thought about it and felt that Yun Qing probably wanted him to stay with her.
He couldn't help but reflect on himself. He had just taken advantage of her and then abandoned her. He really did seem like a heartless man.
Forget it, let's deal with Wen Yu's matter later.
He Chengyi held Yun Qing as they fell asleep, while downstairs at the entrance, Yun Qing's bag lay on the ground, her phone inside playing a muffled song over and over, unnoticed by anyone.
Ling Xiao made countless calls, but no one answered.
He stared at the photograph in despair, muttering to himself, "You won't forgive me? I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't know..."
"I can make amends. I will make those who bullied you pay the price."
So, while Wen Yu was still trying to distance herself from Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao posted a Weibo post saying that everything he did was at Wen Yu's behest. He claimed that Wen Yu impersonated his benefactor, taking advantage of his kindness, and would tell him about every trouble he encountered so that he could handle it, including this time when he wanted to ruin Yun Qing's reputation.
He said this not only on Weibo, but also in front of the police.
Yun Qing knew nothing about any of this. She was nestled in He Chengyi's arms and slept soundly until He Chengyi woke her up.
He Chengyi was afraid he wouldn't be able to get the marriage certificate in time.
Finally, as she sat in the car, feeling dizzy and being fed by He Chengyi, she couldn't help but mutter, "Getting a marriage certificate is more tiring than working and filming."
He Chengyi: ...Is it possible that what's tiring isn't getting the marriage certificate?
After He Chengyi gave her something to eat to fill her stomach, he patted her head and said, "If you're sleepy, lean on me and sleep for a while. After we get our marriage certificate, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Yun Qing yawned, leaned against him, and snorted, "At least you have a conscience."

Wen Yu was nearly driven mad after seeing Ling Xiao's Weibo post.
She doesn't want to go to jail!
[System! System! You could have swapped my soul with He Chengyi's, right? I want you to swap my soul with his permanently!]
The system won't do it; I don't have that permission.
Wen Yu was so angry that she burst into a tirade, "You're no good at this, no good at that, what use are you?!"
After she finished cursing, she began to plead desperately, "Please, system, I don't want to go to jail."
System: ...It's not like He Chengyi wants to go to jail.
They are all its hosts, so why should it favor Wen Yu, who did bad things?
Oh, it seems Wen Yu always thought it was a strategy system that belonged only to her.
Wen Yu pleaded for a long time, but the system remained unmoved. Then she came up with another idea.
[System, then help me get plastic surgery! Make me look exactly like Song Yunqing, so I can take her place. You'll definitely be able to fool everyone, right?]
The system replied irritably: [Forget about it! Forget about making yourself look exactly like Song Yunqing; your rotten face is beyond repair. I've already recycled all the props to pay off my debts.]
Then Wen Yu finally quieted down, but she was eerily quiet, which even gave the system a bit of a creep.
When Yun Qing and He Chengyi came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the system rushed over in a panic and said: [Host, Wen Yu is going to jump off the building again!]
He Chengyi held the newly issued marriage certificate in one hand and Yun Qing's hand in the other, the smile on his lips impossible to suppress.
He was listening intently to Yun Qing happily listing the dishes when he heard this, and simply said casually, "Then keep an eye on things, don't let any innocent people get hit."
System: Okay... alright.
Wen Yu was indeed obsessed with her face; even when she felt she was going to jail, she still wanted to struggle.
But after learning that her face could not be healed, she seemed to lose all hope of living. She simply could not face her terrifying face.
So she went up to the rooftop again.
This time, she wasn't kicked off like when she entered the dream, but the system didn't tell her again that she had a chance to have everything she wanted.
She truly had nothing left.
She raised her hand to touch her face, gave a bitter laugh, and jumped off the roof in despair.
She was filled with hatred! She was so unwilling to accept it!
Even though she has a system, why is she still being trampled underfoot by Song Yunqing?
Song Yunqing, if there is a next life, I will definitely make you taste what it's like to be trampled on!
