CHAPTER 48

After this incident, the most noticeable thing was the increase in Li Jia's online fan base, which multiplied by dozens.

Apart from the apologetic messages, the rest were various well wishes and expressions of continuous support.

Li Jia had no interest in reading these messages. She was sitting here now because Ye Chengxing was here, and she wanted to be by Ye Chengxing's side.

Ye Chengxing, on the other hand, was happily browsing through the messages. She would read some beautiful words aloud to Li Jia.

Occasionally, there were a few malicious comments mixed in with these messages, but Ye Chengxing skimmed over them and only read out the kind and gentle words.

After reading who knows how many of these messages, Ye Chengxing stopped and looked at Li Jia with a gentle and bright gaze. "Look, everyone likes you and supports you."

Although the plot in the original book had undergone many changes due to her arrival, even to the point of significant alterations, considering that the humiliations that were supposed to befall Li Jia in the plot had not occurred again, and Star Flash Entertainment had been completely dismantled, the Omega girl in front of them seemed very positive and optimistic. It shouldn't follow the path of complete villainy as in the original storyline.

However, even so, Ye Chengxing still remembered the final words from that part of the plot, when Li Jia said with a smile that was both cold and full of meaning, "No one in this world has ever treated me with kindness, so why should I repay with kindness?"

If possible, Ye Chengxing wanted to do her best to make Li Jia feel tenderness. Not just her alone, but many, many people liked her, and the most important thing was to make Li Jia feel that she deserved that love.

Long before, Ye Chengxing had noticed that Li Jia had a low sense of deservingness. She would resist the good things said to her and claim she didn't deserve them. Ye Chengxing hoped to gradually reduce this feeling in Li Jia.

Like the terrible things that happened in the past, they were never because Li Jia was at fault, but the damage they caused still lingered and affected Li Jia.

Ye Chengxing's lips curved into a gentle smile as she lifted her fingertips to tidy up Li Jia's stray hair.

In the future, she would most likely leave this world, so before leaving, she would take care of everything she had considered.

The tip of the Alpha's finger traced along Li Jia's cheek in a warm and gentle manner. Li Jia didn't move, allowing Ye Chengxing to smooth out the scattered strands of hair. She looked relaxed and content.

Unable to resist, Ye Chengxing said, "Are you feeling better?"

Li Jia blinked her eyelashes gently. "Yes, I've never been this happy before." They sat together like this, basking in the soft sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It felt as if they themselves were becoming soft under the sun, and even if they did nothing, they felt a deep sense of peace.

She felt like she could sit like this forever.

Ye Chengxing listened to Li Jia's words and nodded. She thought that this method was indeed effective. Although they were just reading some messages, the emotions behind those messages were sincere. So even though it seemed like Li Jia wasn't interested in these messages, she was actually very happy to hear them.

Completely misunderstanding the real reason that made Li Jia happy, Ye Chengxing felt encouraged and spoke with a bright smile, "Would you like to continue listening, Xiaoli? I can keep reading. There are still many, many more."

As she spoke, Ye Chengxing turned the screen around and scrolled down the page to signal Li Jia.

Li Jia glanced over the messages on the screen, not paying much attention. But when her gaze met Ye Chengxing's sparkling eyes, she nodded again.

She didn't have any feelings towards these messages from people, whether they were insults and attacks or the current apologies and well wishes.

But Ye Chengxing was different.

As Li Jia listened to Ye Chengxing reading the messages, her gaze remained long and focused on her.

Her Alpha was the best.

Better than all these people combined.

Ye Chengxing flipped through the messages and found that many entertainment companies were paying attention to Li Jia.

In fact, now, regardless of the size, all entertainment companies in the industry were reaching out to Li Jia. These companies hoped that Li Jia would become their artist, and they offered very generous conditions.

Ye Chengxing was well aware of this. She had even compiled information on these companies and wanted to ask Li Jia's thoughts. But she was also a little worried that if she said too much, Li Jia might feel that she was interfering.

So after thinking it over, Ye Chengxing finally got up and fetched the stack of materials. "By the way, Xiaoli, do you have any thoughts about entertainment companies?"

After saying this, she continued, "Or if you have any other ideas, it's alright. No matter what decision you make, I will support you and help you."

Li Jia met her earnest gaze and suddenly hugged Ye Chengxing. "Sister, I'm fine, don't worry. But regarding the entertainment company, I have already made a choice."

As she spoke, Li Jia didn't let go of Ye Chengxing but reached into the pile of materials and pulled out one of them.

Ye Chengxing took it and looked at it.

The entertainment company Li Jia was planning to go to was a subsidiary of the LS Group.

In fact, whether it was the LS Group or their subsidiary entertainment company, it was not unfamiliar to Ye Chengxing, or rather, anyone who paid attention to this industry would not be unfamiliar with them.

Because the LS Group had appeared in the public eye at an incredible speed and had made a name for itself, letting everyone know about it through its strength.

Ye Chengxing initially noticed it because she hadn't come across the name of this group in the original text.

In the original text, there were introductions of conglomerates with such power, but the full name of the LOVESTAR conglomerate did not appear.

She could be certain that there was absolutely no relevant plot about this conglomerate in the original text.

However, since she transmigrated into this world, the countless changes in the plot were already beyond counting. Perhaps this conglomerate emerged as a butterfly effect due to the altered plot.

Ye Chengxing had previously gathered information about this group since it appeared suddenly outside of the original plot. While she was organizing information on major entertainment companies for Li Jia, she also compiled information on this company under the LS conglomerate. It could be said that among all these companies, Ye Chengxing was most familiar with this entertainment company under the LS conglomerate. Unexpectedly, Li Jia decided to sign a contract with them in the end.

Ye Chengxing became even more certain about her previous speculation regarding the butterfly effect caused by this conglomerate.

In the original text, Li Jia terminated her contract with Star Flash Entertainment Company after she turned into a villainess and began seeking revenge. But now, she terminated it in advance, and this conglomerate emerged not long ago. It was quite a coincidence that Li Jia decided to sign with their subsidiary entertainment company.

So Ye Chengxing nodded and said, "I think it's good."

To her surprise, when Li Jia heard her response, her expression didn't show happiness. Instead, she seemed a bit disappointed and hesitant. "Is that all you have to say?"

Ye Chengxing was taken aback for a moment and then pondered for two seconds before adding, "I've looked into it. Moreover, they offer good conditions and take responsibility for their artists. Many of the artists under their management started out as unknowns and then became popular. It's really good that you decided to sign with this company."

As she said this, Ye Chengxing also felt a bit amazed.

The LS entertainment company hadn't been around for long, and even when they initially signed their artists, they were relatively unknown. But in the end, all of them became popular. At that time, some people even criticized the most absurd idol signed by LS. It was said that this idol was found by a scout while he was selling second-hand junk machines.

According to reason, such a person would have had no prior exposure to this field, so no one would have expected that he would become popular after being signed. 

The probability of finding such an individual was extremely low, with perhaps only one out of a hundred people fitting the description. However, the LS entertainment company seemed to be a talent scout who could accurately identify hidden gems among the crowd.

Li Jia looked at Ye Chengxing and suddenly spoke in a tone that was both aggrieved and nervous, "Sister, are you ignoring me now?"

Ye Chengxing couldn't help but chuckle at her tone and quickly explained, "No, no, I trust your choice. This entertainment company is indeed very good. There's nothing else to say, and since you've told me proactively, you must have made a decision."

She had no intention of interfering with which company Li Jia would sign with or demanding that Li Jia follow her own plans. Although Li Jia cared about her opinion, it didn't mean that Ye Chengxing could freely order her around. If she did that, it would be no different from the StarFlash Entertainment Company that treated Li Jia as a tool.

However, Ye Chengxing was delighted to be able to participate in Li Jia's thoughts.

With this in mind, Ye Chengxing carefully placed the documents she had been looking at back into the file bag and organized them. Her tone became softer. "And there will definitely be times in the future when I won't be by your side, so when that happens..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Jia suddenly stood up abruptly, and the legs of the chair behind her scraped against the floor, emitting a sharp screech.

She lowered her head, and her expression was not clear.

But it gave off an inexplicable sense of danger.

Ye Chengxing was taken aback. "Xiaoli, what's wrong?"

But the next moment, Li Jia lifted her head, and that strange sense of danger dissipated.

"It's nothing." she walked over to Ye Chengxing's side, returning to her girlish and coquettish tone. "I just felt a bit uncomfortable when I thought that Sister would leave me. But upon careful consideration, Sister just said there will be times when you won't be by my side, not that you're leaving. I shouldn't overthink it."

Ye Chengxing nodded as she listened to Li Jia's words, feeling a little embarrassed about Omega's reaction earlier.

So Li Jia had such a big reaction to the idea of her leaving.

Then...

Ye Chengxing's eyelashes fluttered as her heart began to uncontrollably speed up due to the idea that had emerged in her mind.

Although the system hadn't mentioned it, when the day really came to complete the mission, she might be able to stay in this world.
