After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 105 The magic disappeared before the clock struck midnight.

The atmosphere in their room was very cheerful, unlike in the other rooms.

On the surface, Ye Wanyin appeared calm, but in reality, she was busy thinking about the next plan and even forgot to comfort Deng Lingxuan, who was clearly frustrated today.

Deng Lingxuan sat there for a while, feeling depressed, then said she was going out for a walk. She stood up, opened the door, and went out by herself.

Ye Wanyin didn't try to stop her. She was thinking about how to communicate with Tong Wuyu without leaving any evidence on her phone—the best way was to not contact her at all via phone, but that was clearly not enough right now.

We can only discuss this in person tomorrow.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Deng Lingxuan scream.

"Xuanxuan, what happened?" Ye Wanyin was a little annoyed that her train of thought had been interrupted, but she still put on her coat and went out, looking around.

On one side were Pei Canxing and Ye Jin'er, who came out to see what was happening after hearing the noise, and on the other side was Deng Lingxuan, who had been knocked to the ground, and Yin Xiangming, who was standing next to her at a loss.

"What are you going to do to Xuanxuan?" Ye Wanyin strode forward, standing between Yin Xiangming and Deng Lingxuan, and shouted.

Yin Xiangming lowered his head, his face flushed, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Pei Canxing winked at Ye Jin'er, signaling him to call the others out, while he himself stepped forward and said, "Teacher Ye, there's no need to get so agitated. We haven't even figured out the situation yet, so it's not appropriate for you to talk about Xiaoming like that."

"What else do we need to figure out? Isn't it obvious enough?"

Ye Wanyin thought to herself, "Yes, I can't afford to offend you guys, but do you think I should be at the mercy of Yin Xiangming?"

"Xiao Ming, why don't you tell us?" Pei Canxing tried to pat the other's shoulder to comfort him, but unexpectedly Yin Xiangming reacted violently, jumping back to avoid his hand.

"?" Pei Canxing found his reaction somewhat strange, yet also somewhat familiar.

As he stood there trying to figure out the situation, more people came out of the house.

It was Pan Yongfu. He came out and said, "Xiao Ming? If you want to go for a walk in the middle of the night, just go for a walk. How did you end up bumping into someone? Hurry up and apologize to them!"

Yin Xiangming was now in a very awkward position. He instinctively wanted to get away from Pan Yongfu, but it wouldn't be appropriate to hide in Pei Canxing's direction or Ye Wanyin's direction.

At this moment, Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu arrived. Sheng Hanyu asked, "What's wrong?"

He seemed to have seen a savior, and immediately jumped behind Sheng Hanyu, hunching his back and lowering his head, trying to pretend that he didn't exist.

Seeing this scene, Ye Sanqing knew things weren't as simple as they seemed. He turned his head and asked, "Xiao Ming? Shouldn't you at least apologize first?"

“Yes, and then you can slowly tell us what happened, okay?” Sheng Hanyu said reassuringly.

Yin Xiangming gradually calmed down under their gentle approach and peeked out from behind Sheng Hanyu, saying, "I'm sorry! Teacher Deng, I didn't mean to bump into you."

"No...it's nothing." Deng Lingxuan was a little dazed, not because she was hit, but because the words Yin Xiangming was muttering when he hit her had startled her.

Seeing that Ye Wanyin, though standing closest, showed no intention of helping Deng Lingxuan up, Ye Sanqing shook his head and went forward to help her up.

Admittedly, she didn't want to have physical contact with others, but besides Ye Wanyin, she was the only one who could have physical contact with others. Fortunately, she was wearing gloves, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Why are you still here?" Ye Sanqing asked Ye Wanyin after Deng Lingxuan stopped standing.

For some reason, she felt that although tonight's events were not caused by Ye Wanyin, it was best not to let the other party hear about what was to come.

Since it wasn't a problem in the first place, then let it remain a problem from the start.

"Why can't I be here?" Ye Wanyin was so busy assuming a confrontational stance that she forgot to help the person up, and Ye Sanqing had stolen the credit. She was already annoyed, and upon hearing this, she retorted, "What, this place is for public use, isn't it? It's not yours, is it? Uh... Sister, that's not what I meant..."

As she was talking, she suddenly realized that she had broken character and tried to cover it up, but unfortunately no one cared.

"Now that Xiao Deng is alright, shall we go back first?" Ye Sanqing didn't care what Ye Wanyin said, but asked directly.

"No, I..." Deng Lingxuan was very conflicted, not knowing whether she should tell everyone what she had just heard.

Before Gao Feibai arrived, she was still that confident and bright little princess, but after Gao Feibai arrived, she seemed to have been reduced to her original form as a disheveled country girl.

The magic disappeared before the clock struck midnight.

So she was completely unsure of what to do next and couldn't help but turn her gaze toward the person in question.

When Yin Xiangming met her gaze, he turned his head away as if he had been electrocuted.

She heard it, Yin Xiangming thought.

Seeing his expression, Deng Lingxuan felt even more that she shouldn't have said anything. Moreover, she instinctively felt that since Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu were there, they should have a way to resolve the current situation. So she said, "Wanwan, I'm fine. Will you come back with me?"

Ye Sanqing glanced at Deng Lingxuan with some surprise.

After a day, her feelings toward Deng Lingxuan became complicated.

At first, I just thought she was a brainless little princess, but later I found that she was actually quite practical and not as flamboyant as she seemed at first.

But today, her so-called relatives came, which seemed to have exposed some kind of mask. Deng Lingxuan's pride disappeared, and she even became somewhat ingratiating towards them.

Then suddenly, he even had a brain and realized that he should take Ye Wanyin away from the scene...

Ye Sanqing could not understand this.

But now is not the time to discuss this matter too much. She nodded to Deng Lingxuan and then said to Ye Wanyin, "What? Aren't you usually on good terms with Xuanxuan? Now that she has fallen, you can't even help her back?"

Ye Wanyin remembered that there were still evening scenes to film, and although she was unwilling, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Xuanxuan, let me help you back."

Deng Lingxuan nodded to Ye Sanqing, trying to convey the meaning of "It's up to you now".

She noticed that Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing often communicated like this, and she wondered if Ye Sanqing could understand this signal.

Ye Sanqing responded with a smile.

Deng Lingxuan: She understood! I'm a member of the silent communication group now!

"Alright, Xiaoming, look how much trouble you've caused everyone! Why don't you just come back and go to sleep?"

Pan Yongfu stood at the door, backlit, so his facial expression was not visible.

Yin Xiangming was extremely unwilling to hear this, but he had nowhere else to go, so he walked out from behind Sheng Hanyu.

Ye Sanqing raised his hand to block his way, "Wait a minute."

Pan Yongfu's words were clearly ill-intentioned. Although she didn't understand exactly what his intentions were, she could sense that if Yin Xiangming obediently returned, it wouldn't end well.

Ye Sanqing gave Sheng Hanyu a look.

Seeing this, Sheng Hanyu said, "Xiaoming, we're missing one person for our game, why don't you come and play together?"

Although Ye Jin'er didn't know the reason, she chimed in, "Yeah, what a coincidence! We just said we were looking for someone and then we ran into Xiaoming. Hey, Uncle Pan, right? You don't mind if we borrow Xiaoming for a while, do you?"

"This..." Pan Yongfu was obviously very confident in controlling Yin Xiangming before, but he didn't expect a group of unexpected obstacles to appear out of nowhere, and they were the ones he dared not offend.

“No, we might be playing very late. In order not to disturb Mr. Pan’s rest, why don’t you let Xiaoming stay at our place tonight?” Pei Canxing added.

"Then it's decided!" Ye Jin'er clapped her hands. "Come on, come on, aren't you cold standing outside in the dead of winter? Hurry up and come inside!"

As they spoke, they very naturally took Yin Xiangming away.

Yin Xiangming followed along, completely disoriented. He hadn't figured out the situation, but he knew that if he left now, his uncle would most likely stop him; it was practically a survival instinct.

Pan Yongfu: ...I really didn't expect this kid to have friends. Is his usual withdrawn demeanor fake?

But it didn't matter. He stared at their backs with malice and thought, "You can run away for a while, but can you run away forever?"

Ye Sanqing suddenly turned her head to look at him, which startled him. He almost looked away, but as soon as he did, he realized, "Wait a minute, I'm backlit and she can't see my face. Why am I so scared?"

"She's just a woman," Pan Yongfu shook his head, feeling he was overthinking things. He decided to give up for now and went back to his room, closing the door behind him.

Everyone brought Yin Xiangming, who was only wearing pajamas, into the house. Gong Yao, who hadn't gone out because he was cold, immediately came over to ask what had happened.

Pei Canxing shook her head at her, telling her to go find a coat for Yin Xiangming first.

Sheng Hanyu made him a cup of hot tea, asked him to sit down, and then handed it to him.

Yin Xiangming held the teacup in a daze for a long while before finally saying, "No...no, I'm sorry..."

He came to his senses and realized that everyone was surrounding him. When had he ever been the center of attention? He immediately became nervous, and his stuttering worsened.

"It's okay," Sheng Hanyu said. "Are you feeling uncomfortable because there are too many people? Should we move aside so you can get some fresh air here?"

“No…” Yin Xiangming hesitated and lowered his head.

He didn't know how to explain what had happened today.

At least today he knows that the nightmare that has plagued him for years was not a nightmare, but something that actually happened.

But... how could such a thing be possible?

Even he himself couldn't believe that this could happen in the real world. Would others believe him if he told them?

But the event did actually happen, and is still happening.

Can he trust the other person?

Or will the friends he finally managed to make (at least in his own opinion) find him disgusting and distance themselves from him after hearing about this?

Having gone through so many times of seeking help without success, Yin Xiangming had finally learned to remain silent. Now that he had the opportunity, he didn't know what to say.

"Or... is it inconvenient for us to listen?"

After Ye Sanqing entered and sat down, he kept thinking.

There was only one possibility she could think of, and she hoped it wasn't what she was thinking.
