At the end of the high slope, there was a smooth boulder. Xie Bingxia walked over and sat on it, gazing at the cliff below. At the bottom of the cliff was the brook where she and Gu Bei had frolicked during the day.
The surroundings were deathly silent. Xie Bingxia recalled everything that had just happened and felt that she had been too out of control. It was impossible not to be angry when she saw the indecent scene between Yuan Yiyun and Gu Bei. Her original plan was to have a fierce argument with Yuan Yiyun and give her a few slaps to vent her anger. But as soon as she stepped into that room and smelled Gu Bei's familiar scent mixed with Yuan Yiyun's nauseating perfume, somehow she couldn't control the impulse to teach her a lesson.
She even uttered a harsh warning, forcing Yuan Yiyun to break off the engagement with Gu Bei.
Why couldn't she control her emotions for a moment? Xie Bingxia covered her chest. Her heart under the skin was beating abnormally, and her breathing became rapid. Only then did she notice that her whole body was dyed a thin layer of red light. She looked up at the sky in panic.
A crescent moon in the sky emerged from behind the dark clouds, glaringly red. Xie Bingxia immediately stiffened all over, and her eyes couldn't leave it. It was as if her whole body was chained by countless shackles. The accelerating heartbeat, rapid breathing, and gradually rising body temperature warned her that something ominous was about to happen.
Was she going to turn back?
"Bingxia - Bingxia -" Gu Bei's shouts came from not far away, which was like a sharp sword, pinning Xie Bingxia firmly.
No! She hadn't taken revenge yet, hadn't made Gu Bei repent to her, and hadn't revived the Xia family. She couldn't lose the shell of Xie Bingxia, and even less could she let Gu Bei discover the truth.
Xie Bingxia moved her feet with difficulty, trying to find a place to hide. She stood up holding the boulder, but stepped on the moss on the edge of the cliff, and the whole person fell backward.
"Ah!"
Gu Bei heard Xie Bingxia's scream. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw her figure disappear in front of the cliff and rushed over like the wind: "Bingxia!"
He lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down. A cold sweat broke out on his whole body. He saw Xie Bingxia holding onto the roots protruding from the exposed mountain with both hands and stepping on the stones with her toes. Fortunately, she didn't fall.
"Give me your hand. I'll pull you up." Gu Bei reached out his hand, but Xie Bingxia shrank back. She even buried her head in her arms and refused to look at him.
"You're in danger now. Don't be stubborn. After you come up, you can beat and scold me as you like. Just give me your hand, okay?" Gu Bei persuaded her patiently, but Xie Bingxia turned her face even more and gasped, "Go away, go quickly!"
"Bingxia..." Gu Bei was anxious. Why didn't this girl know the seriousness of the situation!
Xie Bingxia was even more impatient than him. If Gu Bei didn't leave and stared at her without blinking, wouldn't he witness the whole process of her turning back into Xia Jingwei?
That would be more painful than death. If she really was going to turn back at this moment, it would be better to let go and fall off the cliff, leaving no whole body.
Sweat slid down Xie Bingxia's cheeks. Once the thought of suicide came to her mind, her hand involuntarily loosened a bit, and her feet slipped.
"If you don't go, I'll jump!" It was her last threat.
Gu Bei couldn't believe that Xie Bingxia would say such a thing. The current situation didn't allow him to hesitate any longer. He simply leaned forward and directly stuck half of his body out so that his right hand could just grab Xie Bingxia's wrist.
"It's not that easy to die!" Gu Bei gritted his teeth. Relying on the perseverance of his upper body and his strong arm strength, he pulled Xie Bingxia up.
Xie Bingxia never expected that Gu Bei would risk his life to save her. In that position just now, if there was the slightest slack, both of them would fall and die without a burial place.
As soon as he pulled Xie Bingxia up, Gu Bei hugged her tightly. His voice trembled: "Silly girl, you almost scared me to death..." He was very glad that he didn't listen to Qin Feng's words in the end and chose to chase after her. Otherwise - he didn't dare to imagine.
Gu Bei's familiar body temperature enveloped her, and the uneasiness and restlessness gradually faded away. Xie Bingxia looked up to find the trace of the blood moon, but saw the blood - red light slowly disappearing in the air.
Was the blood moon over?
Xie Bingxia pushed Gu Bei away and desperately touched her face: "I'm still here? Am I Xie Bingxia?"
"Of course you're Xie Bingxia." Gu Bei looked at her carefully for a long time, not knowing what she meant. But anyway, the little white rabbit was in his arms, and that was enough.
Just a moment ago, Xie Bingxia thought she was at the end of her rope, but she made a last - ditch comeback - she didn't turn back. Great... great... She couldn't help sobbing.
As soon as she cried, Gu Bei's heart softened completely. He held her face and wiped away her tears, saying, "I'm yours, and you're mine."
"Huh?" Xie Bingxia stared into Gu Bei's eyes with big eyes. She only heard him say, "I like you, Bingxia... Give me some time. I promise you, I'll handle my relationship with Yuan Yiyun."
After saying that, Gu Bei planted a kiss on Xie Bingxia's wet cheek as a promise. Xie Bingxia understood. She had boldly declared in front of Yuan Yiyun that "Gu Bei is mine", and Gu Bei was responding to her. It's just... Gu Bei, who chose this moment and this scene to confess, was really a big straight - laced guy of the century.
Xie Bingxia punched Gu Bei and laughed through her tears: "You must keep your word, or I'll jump again." Gu Bei was still in fear and directly picked her up in a princess carry and went back to the villa.

After the scare of the return of the blood moon, Xie Bingxia clearly realized that the time she could use was not endless. God had given her a chance to be reborn, but it didn't always favor her.
If the real day of the blood moon came again, would she turn back? If by that time she hadn't avenged her hatred, what should she do?
She must seize the time and push forward the plan! Yuan Yiyun definitely wouldn't give in obediently just because she was threatened once and hand Gu Bei over to her. Then she had to defeat her completely!
Whoosh - The plane landed safely more than an hour later. Xie Bingxia arrived at the seaside resort, the main venue for this outdoor teaching.
After getting off the plane, Xie Bingxia quickly met up with Qin Feng and the others. Li Duo offered the treasure he got from his hacker friend very attentively: "The relevant programs have been set up. Just get this small box close to the target's phone. As long as the other person is using the Internet, the eavesdropping software will be automatically installed."
"Good job." Xie Bingxia took it and put it away. She glanced at Yuan Yiyun, who was guiding the students in front of the airport bus, and quietly walked over.
"Teacher Yuan, the counselor said he sent you a message, but you didn't reply. Take a look?" Xie Bingxia put on an innocent and cute face. Yuan Yiyun didn't want to show her a good face but was afraid that she would suddenly attack, so she evaded, "I know. You guys pack your luggage and get on the bus quickly."
Yuan Yiyun turned her back to Xie Bingxia and opened her phone to check WeChat. Xie Bingxia immediately pressed the execution button in her pocket. Beep beep beep. After three beeps, it showed that the installation was successful.
The first step of the plan was successfully completed.
After that, the airport bus took the students to the resort. After everyone put away their luggage, they went to the large studio for the first class. It was said to be a class, but actually it was a lecture given by a business tycoon.
Xie Bingxia found a remote corner and sat down. She took out her phone and put on the earphones. Yuan Yiyun's voice came clearly from inside: "I didn't expect you to come. Is it for that wild girl?"
"..."
"Okay, you go on stage first. We'll talk later."
Immediately afterwards, a tall and handsome figure walked out from behind the stage. The students who had been joking around immediately perked up. Everyone let out exclamations, especially the female students. Their screams were continuous, and they were so excited that they jumped on the spot. They were almost about to rush onto the stage.
Xie Bingxia was just unscrewing a bottle of lemon tea and taking a sip. Seeing this scene, she almost sprayed it all on Qin Feng's face next to her.
The man stood still in front of the podium, adjusted the mobile microphone to face himself, and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Gu Bei."
