Chapter 345: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
He Chengyi was finally woken up by her struggle, but when he opened his eyes and saw her, he was a little confused, "Qingqing?"
He wondered if he was dreaming. How could Yun Qing be in his arms?
Yun Qing pushed him away, sat up, looked at him warily, and asked, "Do you want to eat me?"
He Cheng felt guilty for a moment, but when he saw the faint teeth marks and ambiguous red marks on her collarbone, he felt even more guilty.
Seeing his guilty look, Yun Qing couldn't help but confirm, "You really do want to eat me!"
He Chengyi grabbed her hand, "Qingqing, let me explain..."
He had only spoken halfway when Yun Qing said righteously, "Let me tell you, cannibalism is illegal!"
He Chengyi's hand froze. He slowly raised his eyes, looked at her head with a puzzled expression, and after a moment of silence, lowered his eyes and apologized, "I'm sorry..."
Yun Qing rubbed her slightly itchy collarbone with her fingertips to get rid of the strange feeling, and her mind became much clearer.
Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but soften and began to wonder if she had been too harsh. He Chengyi was just dreaming; he didn't do it on purpose.
Moreover, she is still feeling guilty about what happened before. She feels that the sudden emergence of He Chengyi's alternate personality might be her fault. She upset him, which gave the alternate personality the opportunity.
She had a "clear understanding" of He Chengyi's psychological fragility and was afraid that she might accidentally trigger his alternate personality again, so she quickly comforted him, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
"Really, you were just dreaming. You didn't bite me hard."
"But you still need to be careful and go see a doctor, lest you have some weird dreams that actually hurt someone next time."
He Chengyi: ...
How did it grow up safely to this size when it's so silly?
Yun Qing didn't want him to dwell on the matter any longer, so she changed the subject, saying, "It was wrong of me to call you by your full name before."
"But I truly consider you a friend, and from now on you will be my best friend!"
"Tell me, how would you like me to address you?"
Without thinking, He Chengyi blurted out, "Old Go... Brother."
Luckily, I took a detour and didn't turn myself into a thug.
Yun Qing looked at him with a pang of heartache. He Chengyi must be longing for family affection so much that he wanted her to treat him like a brother.
She immediately called out loudly, "Brother!"
He Chengyi: ...
Yun Qing patted his shoulder and softened her voice, saying, "Brother, you can continue sleeping. I'll go back after you fall asleep."
He Chengyi naturally didn't want her to leave, but it wasn't appropriate to leave Yun Qing to stay overnight; it would be difficult to explain to her and her family.
So, all I could do was nod and say, "Okay."
He Chengyi originally thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but with Yun Qing beside him, he inexplicably felt very relaxed, and after lying down for a while, he actually fell asleep.
Yun Qing then got up and left the room. After going downstairs, Lin Xu immediately came over to her and said, "Miss Song, I've asked the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack. Have some before you go."
Yun Qing's eyes lit up, and she barely managed to maintain her aloof demeanor before nodding, "Okay."
After finishing her late-night snack, she was still a little worried and went to check on He Chengyi again.
As a result, He Chengyi, who had been sleeping soundly, started having nightmares again.
I don't know what she dreamed about, but she looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Yun Qing quickly grabbed his hand, trying to comfort him, but He Chengyi pulled her into his arms again.
Yun Qing instantly became alert. Would he bite her again?
She looked up at He Chengyi. This time he was well-behaved and didn't bite. He just slowly relaxed his furrowed brows, his expression calmed down, and his breathing gradually became even, as if he had escaped the torment of the nightmare.
Seeing him like this, and remembering the nightlight that was always on in the room, Yun Qing realized that He Chengyi was probably having nightmares and couldn't sleep well.
It seems that he sleeps better if someone is with him.
But in the past, he probably had no one to accompany him.
Yun Qing felt more and more sorry for him and couldn't bear to leave him like this, letting him struggle in his nightmares.
She didn't push He Chengyi away, but struggled to pull out her phone. After hesitating for a while, she still chose to tell the truth.
"Sis, He Chengyi is sick. I'll take care of him for a bit, so I won't be home tonight."
The next moment, the phone rang.
Yun Qing hurriedly hung up the phone, only to be bombarded with messages again.
Don't you dislike He Chengyi?
He's sick and has a maid at home; does he need your care?
[Song Yunqing, you've got some nerve! Staying out all night at a man's house!]
[Tell me honestly, did you fall for He Chengyi again after seeing him?]
Are you two close? He let you stay overnight! I take back what I said before, this He Chengyi doesn't seem like a good person!
Yun Qing quickly silenced her phone. Startled, He Chengyi frowned and tightened his arms around her waist.
Yun Qing could only lean back with difficulty, holding her phone in a precarious position to reply to messages.
"Sis, no! He's my older brother now! You know his family situation; he's very pitiful."
He didn't leave me here; he's sick and asleep, so I left it here myself.
Also, don't drag liking or disliking everything into it; that's vulgar!
I'm just letting you know so you won't worry. You can figure out how to tell Mom and Dad!
Upon seeing the message, Song Yunyao was so angry that she wanted to break up her cooperation with He Chengyi.
She now believes her mother's words; Yun Qing really is a love-struck fool, a silly love-struck fool at that!
They eagerly went to take care of others, yet still said they didn't like it.
What's so pitiful about her? I've never seen her so overflowing with sympathy before!
There are so many pitiful people in this world, is it only He Chengyi who needs her to take care of him personally?
Although Song Yunyao was annoyed, she understood that taking care of someone definitely didn't mean sleeping in the same bed while cuddling.
Based on her interactions with him, He Chengyi seems to be a decent person. Moreover, she knows her own sister well enough to know that even if she were truly in love, she wouldn't act recklessly. Isn't she the one who honestly reports her schedule to her?
So she only thought about having a proper talk with Yun Qing after she got home, instead of coming directly to He Chengyi's house.
What she didn't know was that in the original story, Song Yunqing was too love-struck and reckless, and she was unlucky enough to encounter He Chengyi and Wen Yu who could swap souls. Every time she wanted to harm Wen Yu, she encountered He Chengyi's soul, and every time she wanted to scheme and seduce He Chengyi, she encountered Wen Yu's soul.
The plan never succeeded, and he ended up making a fool of himself.
In the end, he harmed himself and his family.
Yun Qing is probably going to stick to this love-obsessed persona, and she's still oblivious to it, unaware that she's so love-obsessed.
Yun Qing put down her phone, feeling a little sleepy.
She yawned, found a more comfortable position, and quickly fell asleep.
He Chengyi had a rare good night's sleep, but when he woke up he was a little confused to find someone in his arms.
He clearly remembered Yun Qing saying that she would go back after he fell asleep!
He didn't think Yun Qing would willingly climb into his bed.
That means he's no longer human!
He frowned, completely unable to recall what he had done, and had no idea how Yun Qing would react when she woke up.
But he never expected that Yun Qing would have no reaction after waking up!
Yun Qing opened her eyes and saw that he was awake. She said with relief, "Brother, you look great! Looks like you slept well last night."
There was no embarrassment, no avoidance, no blame—none of it!
He Chengyi: ...
Can you please stop calling me "brother"?
And your thoughts are so pure that they chill me to the bone.
Seeing Yun Qing get up so confidently, He Chengyi couldn't help but frown.
She's so naive, she doesn't even realize she's being taken advantage of. If it were someone with malicious intent, would she be so easily fooled?
Wait a minute! Something's not right, I haven't even started lying yet!
