Chapter 357: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
The Matchmaker System was incredibly aggrieved, but for the sake of the mission, it still had to comfort Wen Yu, encourage her, and help her come up with ideas.
But Wen Yu wouldn't listen to its opinions.
Perhaps she was frightened by He Chengyi, because she lost her initial enthusiasm for winning him over and instead wanted him to use a prop to heal her face first.
[System, look at yourself! How am I supposed to win over He Chengyi like this? Can't you fix my face first?]
The system firmly refused, saying, "No!"
[Your face isn't the key point. He Chengyi has seen your face before, and he hasn't shown any interest in you.]
[When you appeared in my dream before, didn't you dance a short, beautiful dance in a sea of flowers? He still wasn't moved!]
I think you should let him discover your inner beauty now!
Wen Yu was unwilling and tried all sorts of coercion and inducement to get her face healed.
This time, the system was very firm and refused to take out loans to buy items. Did they really think it could take out unlimited loans? Did they really think it didn't have to pay back its loans?
Moreover, isn't Wen Yu making such an unreasonable request just because she tasted the benefits of the loan it provided to help her buy dream items?
If I give in to her now, she might make even more outrageous demands later.
Because they couldn't reach an agreement with Wen Yu, the Matchmaker System was delayed for two days with her and didn't pay attention to He Chengyi's side.
When they returned to He Chengyi's side, they discovered that He Chengyi and Song Yunqing had gone from simply cuddling and sleeping to cuddling and kissing, and from chatting under the covers to groping each other.
【Host……】
The moment it uttered a sound, He Chengyi's expression changed. He grabbed the blanket and wrapped Yun Qing up like a dumpling, angrily shouting, "Get out! If you look again, I'll gouge out your eyes!"
The Matchmaker System hadn't expected such a strong reaction and couldn't help but remind him, "I'm not human."
Even animals are not allowed!
System: ...I'm so angry I could cry!
But sensing He Chengyi's anger, it was afraid he would go berserk, so it didn't dare say anything more, and carefully explained, "Actually, I didn't see anything."
It couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Luckily, it arrived early, and they were still wearing their clothes. If it had been any later... it was really worried that He Chengyi, in his anger, would kill Wen Yu first, even if he couldn't kill it.
The system is getting more and more upset. There's no progress in winning over Wen Yu, but He Chengyi's progress in pursuing his wife is super fast!
Yun Qing was suddenly wrapped up like a dumpling, and she was completely stunned. She opened her watery eyes and looked at He Chengyi, accusingly saying, "You said we could kiss and touch each other as we pleased, without having to be polite! It's only been two days, and we already need to be polite to each other?"
"People experience the seven-year itch, and you reached it in just two days? Did you ride a rocket?"
He Chengyi: ...
He lowered his head and kissed her, then confessed, "There's something I forgot to tell you."
Looking at his somewhat solemn expression, Yun Qing guessed, "You suddenly remembered you had a childhood betrothal? You're making me a mistress?"
She finished speaking with a face full of anger, looking like she wanted to bite someone.
He Chengyi reached out and slapped her forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you developed a professional habit from filming?"
Yun Qing blinked. "I have acted in this kind of role before, but I played the male lead's unloved childhood sweetheart."
He Chengyi commented, "That male lead is truly blind."
Then, without further ado, he said in one breath, "I don't actually have a split personality."
Yun Qing looked completely bewildered. "But I saw your alternate personality appear with my own eyes."
He Chengyi said with some disgust, "That's not my alternate personality, that's Wen Yu."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing was first stunned, then her expression changed in a complex way, and finally she asked with a conflicted look, "You and Wen Yu can share one body?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but scrutinize He Chengyi's body.
Before she could fill in the blanks, He Chengyi quickly said, "We don't share the same body."
"I'm bound to a neurotic system that's forcing me to date Wen Yu. It originally wanted to swap souls with Wen Yu, but it failed, so it made me and her look like each other."
"The alternate personality you saw back then was actually her. The system made her look like me and even swapped places with me, creating the illusion that our souls had been switched."
"But she is still herself, and what she sees is also her own image."
“When she becomes me, I will become her. What you saw in Wen Yu’s ward back then was actually me.”
Yun Qing suddenly realized, "I was wondering why Wen Yu suddenly seemed possessed by a ghost, acting all strange."
He Chengyi: ...
He pulled Yun Qing, blanket and all, into his arms and continued, "I promise I didn't let her take advantage of me, and I won't let her and the system have any chance to do anything in the future!"
“I didn’t mean to lie to you, I was just afraid you would think I was possessed by a ghost and be scared. I think split personality is easier to accept.”
"Qingqing, we're already together, you can't go back on your word."
The more he spoke, the more anxious and pitiful he became, and the tighter he held Yun Qing's arm.
Yun Qing couldn't help but say, "Let me go, I'm dying of heat!"
He Chengyi quickly let go, pulled back the blanket, and scooped the person out.
Yun Qing reached out and hugged him, patting his back to comfort him, "This isn't your fault..."
Halfway through comforting her, she suddenly remembered something: Wen Yu had been acting strangely lately, and this wasn't the only time.
He Chengyi admitted that he was the one who found a sugar daddy, but what about the other things?
"Was it you who disfigured Wen Yu by pouring boiling water on her?"
He Chengyi fell silent. At the time, he was so focused on his madness that he hadn't thought about how to explain his "illness" to his wife later.
Yun Qing, her face grim, pressed on, "What about her plan to jump off the building?"
Wen Yu is an artist, and it's inevitable that her outrageous actions will be posted online and make her famous.
Even if Yun Qing didn't pay special attention, she would still know about these things.
He Chengyi immediately said, "I really didn't do this!"
"So you poured boiling water over your head! Did you pour it over your own head?"
President He, who could scare the system to tears when he went crazy, was now meek and submissive, saying, "Qingqing, actually I'm usually..." quite normal.
Yun Qing took a deep breath, her face grim, and interrupted him, "Give me my phone!"
He Chengyi quickly picked up the phone from the bedside table and handed it to her, asking cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
Yun Qing gripped her phone and sneered, "That damn system dares to bully you like this? I'll have my sister find some professionals to set up a research institute, specifically to study how to kill it!"
"I have money!"
Matchmaker System: !!!
You two have gone too far!
The system was both angry and scared, and too cowardly to utter a sound in He Chengyi's mind, so it could only run to Wen Yu and cry loudly.
Finally, it gritted its teeth and agreed to buy props for Wen Yu so that her face could return to normal as quickly as possible without being horrifying.
The prerequisite is that she must find a way to win over He Chengyi as soon as possible; if the mission fails, she will be eliminated.
The "erasure" was just a scare tactic against Wen Yu. As an internship system, and a sweet and romantic matchmaking system at that, it did not have the authority to erase its host, nor did it have the authority to change hosts.
Otherwise, it would have abandoned He Chengyi, its mentally ill host, and run far away long ago.
When the system and Wen Yu reached an agreement, Yun Qing felt that He Chengyi had suffered a great injustice because of the system's affairs, and she felt extremely sorry for him.
So she hugged him and comforted him affectionately.
In the end, while trying to comfort others, I ended up crying myself.
If she hadn't had to record a variety show the next day, she probably would have been completely swallowed by the big bad wolf.
Yun Qing wrapped herself in the quilt, her damp eyelashes trembling slightly, and thought angrily, "I really shouldn't be so soft-hearted towards men."
He Chengyi reached out and gently tugged at her blanket, saying pitifully, "Qingqing, I can't sleep."
Yun Qing didn't say anything, but simply loosened her grip on the blanket.
He Chengyi very sensibly lifted the covers and lay down, then cautiously asked, "Can I hug you? I'm a little sad..."
Yun Qing closed her eyes and rolled over, coincidentally landing in his arms.
He Chengyi reached out and hugged her, his heart softening. He kissed her forehead and said softly, "Sleep."
