After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 179 - : I’m So Stupid, Really...

Chapter 179 -179: I’m So Stupid, Really…

Bai Tingyu looked at her in astonishment, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Zhiyi looked down, her face slightly red, “Bai Tingyu… there are too many people, I, I think I’ll go back to the classroom first.”

Bai Tingyu, thinking it was something serious that made her panic, smiled and raised his hand to touch her hair, “Silly girl, who dares to gossip? Also, call me Ayue, it sounds nicer.”

This time, it was Shen Zhiyi’s turn to be astonished. She had disappeared for a few days, and instead, it made Bai Tingyu face his own feelings seriously; if he did not feel trust and closeness, he would never let anyone call him “Ayue.”

Bai Tingyu’s affection value for her had increased from -15 at the beginning to 60 now, which could only be considered liking her, not yet loving.

If it were before, she would have been thrilled to death, being liked by such a handsome guy; she could have woken up laughing from a dream, but this world was just a flawed defective, controlled by the lofty Heavenly Dao, cycling day after day. Because it feared all consciousness in this world awakening, it brought in Tactics users to maintain the original route, heading towards a path of death.

And these so-called “Tactics users” were just ambitious, selfish players selected by Heavenly Dao, who manipulated their greed for wealth and comfort and the enjoyment of being the center of attention, thereby arranging one task after another.

And inside her body, 008…

was a soul fragment from Heavenly Dao, monitoring everything she did…

[Host, don’t space out, make Ji Weinan fall for you again, urge Bai Tingyu to persuade Bai Yan Zhang to target the Ji Family, steal Ji Qilin’s medical research to make a name for yourself, you have already triggered the world’s hidden lines, waiting for you is a better life.]

Shen Zhiyi clenched her fist, “How is this any different from a thief’s actions?”

008 was silent for a moment, slowly saying, [Before this, you were quite enjoying everything you have now. Your psyche can’t fool me; you are also looking forward to the day you become famously successful. Why do you think I chose to bind with you? Because the desire in your heart to possess all this is too strong. We are of the same kind, Host, no need to pretend to be too noble.]

[Even the Child of Destiny must carve out their own niche in the world, right?]

Shen Zhiyi felt stung, but she couldn’t refute; she could only rely on 008 to leave, so she endured and said, “Can I make them end up matching the expectations, ignoring the process?”

008: [Whatever, the Heavenly Dao of this world only cares about the result anyway.]

After saying that, it disappeared.

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then headed towards Ji Weinan.

As for Bai Tingyu finding out she wasn’t in the classroom later, she couldn’t care less.

Ji Weinan was in the back garden of the Imperial City Academy; from the moment he decided to let go, he felt an unprecedented relief. Bai Tingyu was his brother, but because of Shen Zhiyi, the brothers who had played together since childhood were now almost like strangers.

His growing dislike for Bai Tingyu was also because of Shen Zhiyi, as she kept saying that Bai Tingyu bullied her.

Thinking of this, he slapped his forehead in annoyance, “I’m really stupid, really. They were clearly flirting, and I stupidly brought breakfast for two weeks.”

The more he thought about it, the clearer he felt, and more he agreed with Ji Tian.

He, the third young master of the Ji Family, was acting like a damn lickspittle!

What a fool!

[Ding, Ji Weinan’s affection value has dropped to 0.]

Shen Zhiyi stood behind him, seeing his frustrated and incredulous expression.

Dammit, the affection value that had finally increased to 70, just because Bai Tingyu hugged her once, dropped to zero?

Previously, she often walked together with Bai Tingyu and even had intimate gestures, but Ji Weinan’s affection values were only increasing and never decreasing!

Shen Zhiyi felt a bit panicked now: “Ah Nan.”

Hearing Shen Zhiyi’s voice, Ji Weinan’s body stiffened, then relaxed, and he turned to face her, “Oh, Zhiyi, where’s Brother Yu? Didn’t he come with you?”

Shen Zhiyi: “…”

In the past, Ji Weinan almost wished he could be alone with her 24/7.

She pursed her lips slightly, her tone somewhat dissatisfied, “Do I have to bring him along whenever I want to see you?”

Ji Weinan was startled for a moment, his eyes clouded with confusion. Shen Zhiyi instantly felt hopeful, “I don’t want our friendship to be interrupted by a third person.”

Friendship and love are worlds apart.

So with him, it’s friendship, but with Bai Tingyu, it’s love?

Truly deserving of being a top student, neatly dividing everything.

But he had already been so disappointed that it felt like his heart was sealed with cement, feeling like he could never love again, and then he said gloomily, “Friends are great, friends have no troubles… Wish you happiness, Zhiyi. I was delusional before, always thinking I could be better than Yue.” My little sister was right, I was just arrogant and conceited.”

Shen Zhiyi: “…”

Even though she was a girl he once had a crush on, suddenly letting go wasn’t something he could achieve without reminiscing. But thinking back, the good times between him and Shen Zhiyi were few, and most of the time, it was him who made the advances. The more he thought about it, the harder it became for him.

A classic case of giving without receiving, everything lost in the end.

He even wasted two weeks’ worth of breakfast money on meals costing one or two hundred each, which ended up either in the trash or in his and Quan Jingyou’s stomachs.

Suddenly, he couldn’t stay any longer: “Zhiyi, we better see less of each other in the future.”

“!!!”

How could this be!

“Ah Nan! I, I do have feelings for you,” Shen Zhiyi blurted out desperately.

As long as she could keep Ji Weinan steady, she couldn’t care less about her own image.

She thought Ji Weinan would cry tears of joy because of her words.

Instead, he frowned and looked at her puzzled, “Zhiyi, you don’t need to say things like this to comfort me because you’re afraid I’ll be sad. You were the first girl I liked, attracted by your spirit of tenacity. In my heart, no hardship can defeat you, but you shouldn’t wrong Brother Yu because of me.”

“He likes you, and you like him too, I’ve always been clear about that. You didn’t have feelings for me, you just didn’t want to admit it, always wanting to compete with him. I had been trapped in a dead-end, trying to be noticed, only by making myself shine more splendidly. I, the carefree playboy who’s good at everything, liked what I could offer materially, but couldn’t truly like me as a person.”

Ji Weinan spoke slowly, the previously radiant Shen Zhiyi in his eyes now seemed so ordinary. It turned out he had been looking at her through a beautifully deceptive filter all along, and now that the filter was shattered, everything had returned to its original place.

He sighed softly, “Don’t say things like that anymore, Brother Yu wouldn’t be happy. I still want to be his brother, after this we’re just friends.”

After saying that, Ji Weinan turned and left.

Shen Zhiyi watched his retreating figure, feeling almost frantic inside.

She wanted to chase after him but was stopped by a voice from behind, “Zhiyi? Weren’t you headed to the classroom?”

Shen Zhiyi’s pupils dilated with shock, Bai Tingyu was actually here. How much had he heard?
