'Is this the original host's diary?' Qiao Moyu was a little surprised. It turns out there were still people who kept diaries in this era. And there were five books of these so obviously the time span when these were written wasn't short.
Qiao Moyu opened the first book and checked the date.
July 5, 2006. Today is my 11th birthday. I took the first test in my class and my teacher gifted me this diary. My brother Xing Yichen will celebrate my birthday with me today.
As Qiao Moyu read each page one by one, she noticed that Xing Yichen was mentioned in almost every entry. She couldn't understand why the original host would be so persistent towards Xing Yichen, but from these lines, she could see a young girl's pure first love.
Qiao Moyu quickly finished reading most of the diaries, except for the last one.
Nov 22, 2008. Today, I can finally write on a diary again. I'm in Switzerland getting treatment for my burnt scars.
The injuries on my hands are alright, but unfortunately, the beautiful bracelet that my parents had left me was lost that day when I fell into the fire.
The treatment was painful but I don't regret it. That day in the sea of fire, I held my brother Yichen's hand. That was the first time we held hands.
However, Mom and Dad wouldn't let me go back there. I dared not tell anyone I was injured because I saved him. Will he know that I saved him?
He must know. When I called his name that day, he heard my voice.
When Qiao Moyu saw this, she couldn't help but sigh. Xing Yichen was truly someone with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs. The 13-year-old original host saved Xing Yichen when he was 17. After her burn wounds healed, she returned home to look for him, but he abandoned her as if she was a wretch.
When she recalled how the original host died in the novel as well as Xing Yichen's indifference when he threw her dead body to be fed to the dogs, the current Qiao Moyu felt a burst of anger in her heart!
She didn't know if she was affected by the original host's body, but she tried to control her emotions and kept on reading.
Mar 12, 2009, I finally returned to my country today. I haven't seen my brother Yicheng in half a year. I wonder if he's grown taller and more handsome. I want to grow up quickly and be with him.
Mar 17, 2009. I met my brother Yicheng today, but he was so cold to me. Was that simply my illusion?
July 3, 2010. I felt that my brother Yicheng was getting further and further out of reach from me. I invited him to my birthday party but he only said he was busy and wasn't available that day.
The former host wrote other memories of course, and that day stained with blood and dreams.
Qiao Moyu discovered that when she read the novel in her previous life, she only had a shallow impression of this person. In the story, the original host was labeled as a 'green tea b*tch' and a 'vicious villainess,' a thorough antagonist.
However, based on these diaries, Qiao Moyu saw a girl who loved learning. She would take the initiative to help her friends, save the person she liked regardless of danger, and study many domestic and foreign films to achieve her dream of becoming a Film Empress. She would hone her acting skills over and over again.
And she finally had a turning point when the true Princess appeared.
June 13, 2014. Today is an ordinary day, but this is the end for me. In the past, even though brother Yichen was very cold to me, there were no girls around him. But today, there is a girl named Yu Ruohuan beside him. Although they haven't held hands yet, I know that he treats her differently.
Afterwards, the content was sad and depressing. She saw the Qiao family take Yu Ruohuan in as their own while Xing Yichen pursued that girl openly. She read how the original host was rejected by the Qiao family because she had spoken out against Yu Ruohuan.
Chapter 47
Qiao Moyu was shocked when she saw the original host's record of Luo Luo's conception.
October 5, 2015. I think I must be crazy because I just did something unthinkable.
I knew that brother Yichen went to the hotel so I followed him.
It was a dark room and I could only hear a man's breath. I'm nervous but I knew this is my only chance!
When I came to him, he pulled me into bed and tore my clothes apart.
I'm afraid. I don't know why he did it. Did he mistake me for Yu Ruohuan?
I'm aching all over. He doesn't know how to show compassion to me, but I'm happy to be his woman…
Qiao Moyu sighed upon reading this. She really couldn't agree with the original host's actions here. Can a person like someone to the point where they lose their rationality, not even hesitating to put down their principles and commit astonishing acts?
Later in her diary, she saw how the original host gradually fell into extreme darkness with no return.
While she sighed, her eyes were suddenly drawn to an entry she had missed. The original host wrote:
February 9, 2007. A very strange thing happened today. I thought I was dreaming, but I don't know how I ended up in a very strange place. I recall that I went out shopping after receiving New Year's money from my grandparents' house, but the streets around me were unusual. It was a place I had never seen before.
But I did a good deed. I saw a trafficker swindling a girl of about six or seven years old, so I ran to the side.
At the gate of an apartment complex, I called a security to go and rescue the little girl. The girl had a round and lovely face with a bow tied on her hair. It was the girly hairstyle you would usually see on TV, so cute!
When Qiao Moyu saw this, she felt her heart beating wildly. That's because the young girl mentioned in the original host's diary was nobody else but herself!
So at that time, the original host had somehow crossed over to her parallel space and time?
Qiao Moyu remembered that she was almost kidnapped when she was six and a half years old, but was saved and sent home by an uncle security guard. When the uncle left, her father scolded her severely. She had a deep impression of that, so she never believed what other strangers coaxed her with again.
She couldn't tell her feelings at the moment. This time, Qiao Moyu understood why she was chosen to cross into this world for the original host. That's because eleven and a half years ago, she was saved by this woman!
In an instant, Qiao Moyu felt a complex emotion rise from the bottom of her heart, which soon spread to her entire bosom.
It was a delicate feelings, as if all the cells of her body had been ignited and her blood boiled.
Afterwards, Qiao Moyu saw a brilliant light shimmer on her wrist. It was the bracelet she had seen once that day. The jewelry seemed to resonate with her mood.
She couldn't help but recall how the bracelet was mentioned in her diary by the original host. Was there anything special about the bracelet, so that when the fire broke out, it was somehow integrated into the original host's body?
A certain detail suddenly occurred to Qiao Moyu from when she had read the novel. When Xing Yichen was 22 years old, he was very fond of Yu Ruohuan upon their first meeting. At that time, he saw a bright colored bracelet on Yu Ruohuan's wrist!
Chapter 48
An idea rose from the bottom of Qiao Moyu's heart. Could Xing Yichen have the wrong idea of who saved him in the beginning, thinking it was Yu Ruohuan who saved him at the age of 17 instead of the original host?
The more she thought of it, the more she felt it was likely. Moreover, the original host mentioned in her diary that Xing Yichen was very indifferent towards her after she came back from her treatment.
If Xing Yichen guessed that Yu Ruohuan saved his life, shouldn't he go to her to confirm if it was her? Maybe he ask?
So in other words, Yu Ruohuan deliberately admitted she was the one who saved Xing Yichen at the beginning.
So this lady…
While Qiao Moyu sat on the floor and analyzed the events, Luo Luo went over to his nanny with a handful of toys in his arms. His soft and cute voice echoed from the living room as he giggled.
Qiao Moyu stared at Luo Luo for several seconds, then quickly looked back at the original host's entry about the hotel. Suddenly, her heart started beating like a drum.
According to her years of experience reading novels, the man in the hotel must have been in an abnormal state. That is to say, he must have been drugged!
Moreover, the original host didn't see who the man was, so there was no direct evidence that the man she spent the night with was Xing Yichen. Well, Luo Luo's dad was probably someone else!
Luo Luo's facial features looked similar to the original host's by six or seven points, but it had no resemblance at all to Xing Yichen. So Qiao Moyu was almost sure that the toddler was not the male protagonist's son.
When the original host came to Xing Yichen's doorstep claiming he was responsible for her child, it was no wonder he firmly denied it!
However, these were only assumptions. To know the truth, first of all, she needed to get ahold of Xing Yichen's hair so she could run a DNA test.
Secondly, if it wasn't Xing Yichen, then she can only find a way to check the hotel presidential suite's check-in list that day and go through it one by one.
At that moment, Qiao Moyu's cell phone vibrated.
She picked it up and found a message from the bank: “You XX bank credit card owes a total of 188,305.49 yuan in October, which cannot be divided into installments. The final repayment date is November 14.”
Qiao Moyu was completely flabbergasted. Does that mean the original host overspent?
Since she needed a pin number whenever she purchased something with her card, Qiao Moyu had visited the bank previously to find out what her pin was. During her visit, she learned that of the two debit cards, one had just over 20,000 yuan while the other had 100,000 yuan. She was still short of 68,000 yuan.
So what happened to the missing 68,000? Didn't the original host have a plan on spending money?
Qiao Moyu was pressured to reevaluate her current financial situation when another text message arrived from another bank: “You XX bank credit card owes a total of 93,207.61 yuan in October. A minimum installment of 11,293.66 yuan is required. The final repayment date is November 14.”
Ha ha, does the original host have a special attachment for the date November 14? Why do the two cards share the same repayment date?
And for the minimum repayment, she had to prepare 80,000 yuan. When she checked the calendar, it was less than 2 weeks before the repayment date.
Qiao Moyu rubbed her hands together. In order to earn money in the fastest way possible, there seems to be only one method left—
It's by using what she was best at from her previous life: giving people 'light.'
💋💋💋💋💋
Author's Afterword: Do you think there's a lot of info in this chapter? Ha ha, Qiao Moyu is going to be happy!
Look at Xing Yichen kneeling and groveling. Don't give any 'light' to the Xing group
