Chapter 354: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Xiao Wan quietly placed the dishes on the table, then glanced at He Chengyi before saying, "Sister Song, dinner is ready."
Isn't this the person in charge of the He Group? The one Wen Yu tried to seduce by stopping his car in the rain?
It turns out he's Sister Song's boyfriend.
Wen Yu is so shameless! Not only did she steal a role from Sister Song, but she even stole her boyfriend!
Yun Qing pulled He Chengyi over for a meal and introduced him to Xiao Wan, "This is He Chengyi, and I..."
Yun Qing paused for a moment, then chose between her brother and her baby.
"...My friend."
Xiao Wan: I understand! I don't want to make my boyfriend public yet.
"Hello, Mr. He."
He Chengyi nodded to her and said politely, "Hello."
Xiao Wan asked again, "Sister Song, do you need to keep your relationship with President He a secret from Sister Xia?"
Yun Qing waved her hand and said, "There's no need. It's not like we have any shady relationship."
Hearing her say that, Xiao Wan understood.
This is all for the purpose of officially announcing their marriage!
He Chengyi chuckled inwardly, certain that the relationship the two were talking about was not the same thing at all.
However, it's good to let the agent prepare mentally in advance.
Xiao Wan was originally going to have dinner with Yun Qing before leaving, but now she has made an excuse to run away.
After running out, she belatedly realized how excited she was.
Sister Song and President He look so good together!
And they're a real couple, so you can ship them without worry; they're just too happy for each other.
Sister Song, please don't treat me like an outsider from now on!
?
Yun Qing was sitting on the bed scrolling through her phone when she heard the bathroom door open. She casually glanced up, then her eyes widened instantly, and she looked away in a flash.
But then it suddenly moved back.
Then it slowly moves away, and then quietly moves back.
She stared at He Chengyi's abs and asked with an innocent expression, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes? What if you catch a cold?"
He Chengyi wrapped a bath towel around his waist, walked to the bedside and sat down unhurriedly, explaining in a serious tone, "You forgot? I've taken all my clothes away, I don't have any pajamas."
Yun Qing nodded blankly, "Oh, right."
He Chengyi's gaze fell on her face, and he said pitifully, "It is a bit cold. Can you hug me?"
Yun Qing shook her head repeatedly, saying righteously, "No! We need to have boundaries!"
He Chengyi: ...
First, take your eyes off me.
He nonchalantly replied, "A clear conscience fears no accusation. Our friendship is so pure; it was just a hug. Neither of us will think anything of it, right?"
"Or are you thinking of finding a boyfriend? And you're worried he'll be unhappy?"
Yun Qing shook her head.
Oh right! I don't have a boyfriend! What's wrong with comforting He Chengyi?
He Chengyi pressed on, "Can you bear to see me catch a cold? Or are you starting to get tired of me?"
As he spoke, his tone turned somber, "I knew it, someone like me is destined to be disliked..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qing had already thrown herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Don't underestimate yourself, you're great."
He Chengyi lifted her onto his lap, wrapped her in his arms, and hummed contentedly.
Yun Qing was completely unaware that she was getting used to He Chengyi's increasingly boundless intimacy. She was so captivated by his good looks that she asked foolishly, "Are you still cold?"
He Chengyi kneaded her fingers, his lips brushing lightly against her earlobe. He lowered his eyes to hide his emotions and said in a low, husky voice, "It won't be cold if you hold me."
The blanket, ignored by both of them: ...I shouldn't be here, I should be under the bed.
It's true that holding him makes you feel warmer. Yunqing felt like he was a furnace, making her almost sweat. But if she pushed him away after just coaxing him, would he be sad and upset again?
She was conflicted, and could only snuggle closer to him, wanting to get some fresh air.
Suddenly, the world spun around her, and she was knocked down onto the bed.
He Chengyi propped himself up on his arm beside her, leaned down to look at her dazed expression, and suddenly stood up and said, "It's too hot, you go to sleep first, I'll go take a shower."
Yun Qing: ...Why are you so hot and cold?

Wen Yu has been thinking about how to win over He Chengyi.
She had never really met He Chengyi and didn't know him well.
According to the system, He Chengyi's actions after "soul swapping" with her were all due to his strong aversion to the "soul swapping" thing.
Then she can't expect to win him over with the next "soul swap".
Moreover, she was genuinely afraid; who knew what He Chengyi would do to her body next!
She had to gain He Chengyi's favor beforehand, at least to ensure that he wouldn't hurt her again if they "swapped souls" again.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt that He Chengyi must be the kind of person with a strong desire for control, and he would not allow things to get out of his control.
As the person in charge of the He Group, it's easy to understand why he developed such a personality.
You can't go head-to-head with someone like that; you have to use a softer approach.
Perhaps we can use her disfigurement as leverage.
If He Chengyi had any conscience at all, he should have felt even a little bit of guilt after knowing how badly he had hurt her.
However, she certainly couldn't just appear in front of He Chengyi like that, letting him see her face, which even she herself found disgusting.
She wanted more than just a little bit of his guilt; she wanted to completely win him over.
She had to let He Chengyi know how badly she was hurt and how badly he had harmed her, but she couldn't let him have any psychological trauma from her face, which would affect her subsequent strategies.
Then she came up with a solution: enter a dream!
Let He Chengyi deeply experience her misery and despair in his dream, but he doesn't need to remember the dream very clearly; just leave him with a deep sense of guilt.
She certainly couldn't do it herself, but the system definitely had a way.
She was also thinking that if this dream-entry was successful, this method could be used for future strategies.
Using emotions amplified infinitely in dreams to influence perception in reality should make the strategy much more effective.
But the system disagreed with her plan.
[Host, you don't understand He Chengyi. He's different from ordinary people. Whether he has a conscience or not, we don't know, but he certainly won't feel guilty.]
He was world-weary and indifferent to everything; even when he was insane, he remained frighteningly calm, showing almost no emotional fluctuations.
If he felt any remorse, he wouldn't have acted so cruelly and remained indifferent.
Besides, I don't want to take out any more loans to buy items!
Hearing this, Wen Yu was not discouraged. Instead, she became more confident in winning over He Chengyi.
Since He Chengyi is world-weary, he must be lacking love and unhappy.
She could have taken the path of redemption, warming him, becoming his only light, and making him unable to leave her.
Wen Yu was like a man possessed, increasingly convinced that his plan was sound, and completely ignored the system's advice.
Finally, he even went so far as to say bluntly: "You're just a system; how could you possibly understand people better than me?"
Then he threatened, "System, we're in this together now. If I fail to complete the mission, you'll be affected too, right?"
System: ...Why are they all threatening me!
However, Wen Yu is right. Right now, He Chengyi is busy being affectionate with Song Yunqing and has no chance of liking Wen Yu on his own. He can only rely on Wen Yu to win him over.
If she fails to succeed, her mission will most likely fail as well.
Wen Yu remained stubborn and the system couldn't do anything about it. In the end, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and take out another loan to buy an item.
