CHAPTER 616: CHAPTER 251: SYSTEM CALLS ME TO SAVE THE DAY (PART 8)

In order to earn more points, He Tiantian prepared to buckle down and "work"!

"..." Student Xiao D secretly swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva.

It really wanted to say, "Dear Tiantian, don’t you realize that with this arrogant demeanor of yours, you’re increasingly resembling a Top-grade villain who opposes the male lead?!"

And, hey, the system isn’t forcing you this time, so why did you just, just—

Student Xiao D ranted frantically inside but didn’t dare speak out loud.

It was afraid that He Tiantian would become angry out of embarrassment and then truly act recklessly.

"Student Xiao D, are you secretly criticizing me again?"

He Tiantian sensed the fluctuations of Student Xiao D’s core and asked coolly.

Student Xiao D shivered, with every fuzzy hair trembling slightly.

This child was too sincere, or rather, it simply dared not hide anything and responded in a soft voice, "I’m, I’m not really criticizing you. Tiantian, don’t you think that what you’re doing is a bit like playing the villain?"

Therefore, as of now, He Tiantian hadn’t hurt anyone.

But her opposition to the male lead basically placed her as a villain, right?

"What’s wrong with being a villain? Isn’t it what you said, that in a novel, if there are heroes, there will be villains, all necessary for the plot, and everyone is indispensable. Or are you discriminating against species now?"

He Tiantian was amused by Student Xiao D’s appearance, clearly terrified yet still daringly testing her.

"Huh?" Student Xiao D went blank on the spot. If it had hands, it would surely have checked its ears to make sure it hadn’t heard wrong.

That whole "villains must exist" theory, wasn’t that what it used to tell Tiantian?

How come it’s turned around today?

He Tiantian was again amused by Student Xiao D’s dumbfounded silly look, her eyes curving and wearing her trademark sweet smile.

But the words she said made Student Xiao D shudder uncontrollably.

It heard He Tiantian speak slowly, "Thinking about it, I’m not truly averse to being the villain, but rather averse to the process of being compelled by the system!"

What do you mean you don’t hate the role of the villain itself, but just don’t want to be forced?

Tiantian, your values seem a bit dangerous.

Student Xiao D trembled all over, its voice quavering, "Tiantian, don’t scare me!"

We are well-principled good kids, no daring to step forward any more.

You’re already half a step away from being a villain. If you so much as move a toe, perhaps it would be, would be—

"Alright, just teasing you!"

He Tiantian’s eyes shifted, and she went back to looking relaxed and casual, "No one wants to be the villain, but I’m just unlucky, always ending up with the villain’s script."

Having said that, He Tiantian spread her hands, "To adjust my mindset, that’s the only way I can console myself!"

Student Xiao D wiped the cold sweat off its forehead; He Tiantian’s explanation seemed to make sense.

But for some reason, Student Xiao D didn’t quite believe it.

He Tiantian raised her eyebrows, oh wow, it’s become smarter indeed, not as easily fooled as in the beginning.

"Besides, even if you’re the villain, not all villains are bad people, right?"

"Just like in this story, what I did just now might seem overbearing, but in fact, it was all by the rules. I didn’t make any unreasonable demands."

"The male lead is unhappy, but that’s not my fault. Surely Qiao Zhenbang can’t be right in everything he does just because he wears the title of the male lead?"

When He Tiantian said these words, she wasn’t overexcited, but rather very calm and composed.

On the contrary, Student Xiao D was somewhat uneasy, and after some thought, replied timidly, "The male lead is just spoiled momentarily, how do you put it, he will get back on track eventually!"

He Tiantian hooked her lips, "So you also know that the male lead has been spoiled and turned into a selfish brat? And what I did just now was merely a reminder, how does that make me the villain?"

Student Xiao D:...

All its fuzz drooped weakly, and it said with a weak voice, "Sorry, Tiantian, I spoke out of line!"

Right, Tiantian was just correcting the poor situation caused by the former writer’s excessive pampering, sincerely not qualifying as a villain.

"...It’s good you realize your mistake!"

He Tiantian, seeing Student Xiao D’s crestfallen look, felt even more delighted.

Yep, a naive and simple Student Xiao D was easy to tease, a perfect amusement when bored and truly refreshing for the body and soul.

Returning to reality, He Tiantian activated "mischief mode."

She arranged tasks for the Qiao Family every day, while she alone slept until she naturally woke up, not lifting a finger, still demanding to eat the best and drink spicy.

Mr. Qiao prided himself on keeping rules and didn’t want to argue with his daughter-in-law.
