One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 231
Chapter 231: Chapter 208 The Final Ending
Soon, the book had completely vanished from Ye Xiao’s mind.
A flicker of thought crossed the depths of Ye Xiao’s eyes.
The standard for these books’ disappearance seemed to be: the emotional connection between the male and female leads had been completely severed.
Previously, it was only after the male and female leads had parted ways completely that the book would dissipate.
But Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue’s marriage was still ongoing, yet their story had already come to an end.
This could only prove that, to them, the wedding had been reduced to nothing more than a piece of paper. Their feelings for each other had been thoroughly exhausted at this moment.
Even if they never divorced, from now on, they would only be like strangers to each other.
Or perhaps… enemies.
Ye Xiao was guessing this was the case, of course, there might be other rules leading to book disappearance, but none of this mattered to her.
All four books had disappeared.
This proved only one thing.
The degree of collapse in all four books had reached one hundred percent.
It was time for her to make her final choice.
Ye Xiao waited for a while.
Very soon.
A new book appeared in the place where the four books had vanished.
When Ye Xiao opened the book, she found that the pages within were blank.
The system’s voice sounded: “Host has a total of one hundred twenty characters remaining. The host can write a new ending in this book.”
One hundred and twenty characters.
To write a new ending.
Ye Xiao nodded her head, that was enough.
In these seven years, she would occasionally use some of her allotted characters for revisions, but she had carefully saved most of them.
Until now.
With a hundred and twenty characters, she could give everyone, a perfect ending.
Ye Xiao didn’t rush to write the ending, she questioned inwardly, “These four books, do they count as having one hundred percent collapse? What was the third choice you mentioned before?”
Though Ye Xiao had already made her decision,
She was still very curious about this third option, and it wouldn’t hurt to listen.
“The third option.” The system’s voice, for some reason, became softer.
The system quickly presented the third choice.
Ye Xiao listened carefully, a strange light flashing in the depths of her eyes.
Originally, she thought her brief adventure had been exciting enough.
Yet, to her surprise… there was something even more thrilling waiting for her.
A smile couldn’t help but form on Ye Xiao’s lips.
She had always been a person who loved adventures.
This option suited her perfectly.
“I choose the third one,” Ye Xiao answered quickly.
“The host does not need to rush the decision,” the system advised. “Now that the books have disappeared, the host has three days to consider. After three days, the host can make the final choice. Upon choosing, the host will leave.”
Three days…
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment.
To say she had no attachment to this world would be impossible.
But since she was destined to leave,
these three days seemed to just prolong the inevitable.
“Host.” The system unusually engaged in small talk with Ye Xiao, “Now that all tasks have been completed. You’ve done well. The fate of everyone has changed because of you. The original Ye Xiao is also grateful to you. She said, she doesn’t want you to disappear without a trace, you are you, and she is she. She hopes everyone will remember you.”
That Ye Xiao…
Wanted everyone to remember her?
Ye Xiao was momentarily lost in thought, revealing a shallow smile.
What’s the point of being remembered?
It would only add to her troubles.
For her, this was just an adventure. If she happened to change others’ destinies along the way, it was merely an incidental act.
She had arrived unexpectedly and preferred to depart just as silently.
Ye Xiao thought.
The Ye family would probably not notice.
Except… Gu Yan.
Ye Xiao remembered the overly calm look in Gu Yan’s eyes that night, and couldn’t help but feel a tremor in her heart.
Although she had tried to tell herself Gu Yan was just speaking casually, that he might not stay so long,
But Ye Xiao still felt an unnamed worry.
Very soon.
She shook her head.
She indeed worried too much.
Time can change everything, and that is an eternal truth.
“Host, don’t be too hard on yourself. Say goodbye to everyone properly,” the System said softly.
He knew what Ye Xiao had been working for these past years, in her solitary focus on her career.
But now.
It was the last few days.
She should indulge herself just this once, shouldn’t she?
“I know,” Ye Xiao replied with a smile.
The System then fell silent and spoke no more.
Yet on that book, there was a countdown of three days.
Ye Xiao understood.
Once she wrote the brand-new ending.
The book would disappear.
And she would leave this world.
In the end, there were only three days left.
Ye Xiao sent a message to Lin Yun, inviting her to stay at the Ye Family’s house for a while.
Lin Yun, holding her phone, couldn’t help but feel joyful when she saw the message, yet her eyes slowly reddened.
Xiaoxiao… she had always been keeping her distance.
This time, she must truly be leaving, which is why she sent this message.
Lin Yun held back her tears and put on a smile. She replied, “Okay, okay, I will start packing.”
Ye Xiao also invited Chen Yu.
Chen Yu had grown into a teenager by now.
Over the years, he often visited her, and in his heart, Ye Xiao had become his pillar of strength.
Ye Xiao thought, she should meet with the boy properly in these last three days.
As for Gu Yan…
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment and didn’t send him a message.
That’s how it should be.
She would leave quietly.
And Gu Yan would be better off forgetting her as soon as possible.
In the last three days, Ye Xiao returned to the Ye Family.
People from the Ye Family came back from all over the world.
Ye Xiao didn’t say much, she just quietly spent time with her family and friends.
She never said it.
But her silent words made everything crystal clear.
Everyone knew.
Ye Xiao was going to leave.
Her arrival was an accident, and her departure would be equally abrupt.
She never planned to tell anyone about her own existence.
She just earnestly told everyone.
She had encountered some issues recently and there might be some changes in her personality; whatever decisions she made, she hoped everyone would understand.
Ye Xiao felt.
That Ye Xiao may not have liked being an actress, but she had accumulated enough wealth. It was her own earnings, not given by the Ye Family. If she didn’t want to be tied to the Ye Family, she could live a good life without relying on them.
After her return, even if she retired from the industry immediately, this money would be more than enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
Ye Xiao didn’t say it, and everyone else pretended not to know.
They could only silently pray for these three days to pass slower, much slower.
However.
The three days ultimately passed by very quickly.
On this day.
Everyone was having afternoon tea.
Ye Xiao looked at the only book in her mind.
This book.
Had only a five-minute countdown left.
If she didn’t write the ending now, she might run out of time.
Ye Xiao picked up the pen and began to write the ending.
