Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Xiao Yichen was not fooled by the calmness on the surface. He was keenly aware of Xiao Yifeng's flickering eyes and his deliberately evasive attitude. An uneasy premonition spread in his heart. At night, he came to the training ground alone, recalling the details of that day, trying to find a clue from them.

"Brother, why are you still here so late?" Xiao Yifeng's voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting Xiao Yichen's thoughts.

Xiao Yichen turned around abruptly, staring at Xiao Yifeng with a sharp gaze, "What are you hiding?"

Xiao Yifeng's eyes flickered, and he pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Stop pretending!" Xiao Yichen grabbed Xiao Yifeng's collar, his tone filled with anger, "Did you do anything about what happened that day?!"

Xiao Yifeng's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure, "I don't know what you are talking about. I just want to protect you and don't want you to be deceived by that woman!"

"Protect me?" Xiao Yichen sneered, "What you mean by protection is to hurt her and sow discord?!"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Xiao Yifeng simply stopped hiding it, "So what? That woman is not worthy of you at all. She will only drag you down!"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yichen roared and punched Xiao Yifeng.

Xiao Yifeng was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground. He covered his mouth and looked at Xiao Yichen with resentment, "You hit me for that woman?!"

Xiao Yichen ignored Xiao Yifeng. He turned and left the training ground, his heart full of anger and disappointment.

This scene happened to be seen by Chu Mengmeng who was passing by. She then realized that Xiao Yichen had been secretly investigating the truth and she had wronged him.

Chu Mengmeng's heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. She wanted to apologize to Xiao Yichen and explain everything, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. Her self-esteem and pride made it difficult for her to put down her status and face the man who was misunderstood and hurt by her.

Chu Mengmeng turned away silently, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know if this turn would become an unbridgeable gap between her and Xiao Yichen.

The next day, the atmosphere in the city guardian base was extremely solemn. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng were both preparing for the upcoming mission, but they deliberately avoided each other's gaze.

Xiao Yichen wanted to explain everything, but when he saw Chu Mengmeng's cold expression, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, and the pain was unbearable. He knew that some scars, once left, would be difficult to heal...

The training ground was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the energy fluctuations of various supernatural powers rose and fell, foreshadowing the impending crisis. Chu Mengmeng tried to concentrate, suppress the surging emotions in her body, and concentrate on practicing new defensive techniques. However, Xiao Yichen's figure was like an indelible shadow, always lingering in her heart, making her feel uneasy.

"Mengmeng." A familiar voice sounded behind her.

Chu Mengmeng's body froze, but she didn't turn around. She could tell that it was Xiao Yichen's voice, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

"I know you are angry with me, but I can explain..." Xiao Yichen's voice was getting closer and closer, but stopped one step behind Chu Mengmeng.

"There's nothing to explain." Chu Mengmeng replied coldly, her tone full of alienation and defensiveness.

"What happened that day was my brother..."

"Enough!" Chu Mengmeng turned around suddenly and interrupted Xiao Yichen, "I don't want to listen!"

Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked with sobs. She didn't know how to face Xiao Yichen and this relationship that was shrouded in lies and deception.

"Mengmeng..." Xiao Yichen wanted to say something else but was interrupted by a frivolous voice.

"Hey, isn't this our Miss Chu? What happened? Did you have a quarrel with our Captain Xiao?" Xiao Yifeng walked over with a sarcastic smile and glanced at Chu Mengmeng with contempt.

"Why are you here?" Chu Mengmeng frowned and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"I'm here to see my good brother." Xiao Yifeng walked to Xiao Yichen and patted his shoulder, his tone full of sarcasm, "Brother, you have to be careful. Some women may look innocent on the surface, but they are actually very scheming."

He deliberately emphasized the words "deeply scheming" and glanced at Chu Mengmeng meaningfully.

Chu Mengmeng's face suddenly turned pale. She knew that Xiao Yifeng was hinting that she should deliberately get close to Xiao Yichen and take advantage of his feelings.

"You're talking nonsense!" Chu Mengmeng glared at Xiao Yifeng, but was unable to refute.

Xiao Yichen grabbed Xiao Yifeng by the collar and yelled, "Shut up!"

"Why, did I say something wrong?" Xiao Yifeng met Xiao Yichen's gaze without fear, "Ask her why she approached you?"

Xiao Yichen clenched his fists tightly. He turned to look at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

Chu Mengmeng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She wanted to explain, wanted to tell Xiao Yichen that she had always been sincere to him. However, facing Xiao Yifeng's aggressive gaze and Xiao Yichen's suspicious eyes, she suddenly lost all her courage.

"I..." Chu Mengmeng opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

At this moment, the base alarm sounded loudly, and the shrill sirens echoed throughout the entire training ground.

"Emergency mission! All city guardians, assemble immediately!"

The piercing alarm sounded like a death warrant, pulling Chu Mengmeng out of her chaotic mood. She took a deep breath, forced down the bitterness and anger in her heart, turned around and ran to the gathering point. Xiao Yichen looked at her resolute back, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and finally loosened powerlessly. Xiao Yifeng smiled contemptuously, turned around and followed the team.

The content of the emergency mission was quickly issued. A powerful unknown force was approaching the city. The city guardians needed to rush to the designated location in the shortest time to stop the enemy's invasion.

"Mengmeng, you are responsible for leading Team A to attack from the east." The captain's voice was serious and decisive.

"Yes!" Chu Mengmeng responded loudly, her eyes firm and calm.

"Yi Chen, you lead Team B to encircle them from the west." The captain continued to give orders.

"Yes!" Xiao Yichen's voice was low and powerful.

The two looked at each other with complicated eyes, but quickly looked away. In the brief exchange, they could both feel the unbridgeable barrier in each other's hearts.

The battle was about to start. Chu Mengmeng led Team A to flexibly shuttle between the city ruins. With tacit cooperation and powerful superpowers, they quickly eliminated the enemies along the way. However, as the battle deepened, they gradually discovered that the strength of this unknown force exceeded their expectations.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" An anxious reminder came from teammates through the headphones.

Chu Mengmeng turned around suddenly, and a black shadow with a fierce murderous aura attacked her. She dodged quickly, but was still scratched on the arm by the black shadow's sharp claws.

"Damn it!" Chu Mengmeng cursed softly and used her lightning power to strike the black shadow.

The black shadow was struck by lightning and let out a painful roar, but did not fall down. Instead, it pounced towards Chu Mengmeng even more frantically.

"Mengmeng, let me help you!" Xiao Yichen's voice came from the headphones.

Chu Mengmeng felt warm in her heart and was about to respond, but suddenly she heard Xiao Yichen's painful groan.

"Yi Chen, what's wrong with you?" Chu Mengmeng's heart sank suddenly.

"I'm fine, be careful!" Xiao Yichen endured the pain and continued to command Team B to fight.

However, Chu Mengmeng was keenly aware that Xiao Yichen's voice was weak, and he was obviously injured. She was extremely anxious, but she had no time to care about it, so she could only grit her teeth and keep fighting.

The battle lasted for several hours, and ended with a tragic victory for the city defenders. Chu Mengmeng sat on the ground exhausted, the wound on her arm still aching. She looked around, but could not see Xiao Yichen.

"Where is Yi Chen? How is he?" Chu Mengmeng grabbed a passing member of Team B and asked anxiously.

"The captain was injured and has returned to the base." After the team member said this, he hurried away.

Chu Mengmeng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she rushed to the base medical room regardless of everything. However, when she arrived, she only saw an empty bed.

"Where did he go?" Chu Mengmeng grabbed a medical staff member and asked in a trembling voice.

"Captain Xiao said he's fine and has left," the medical staff replied.

Chu Mengmeng walked out of the medical room in a daze, her heart filled with loss and pain. At this moment, she accidentally saw a black scale falling on the ground.

This scale looked very familiar. A light bulb suddenly lit up Chu Mengmeng's mind, and she suddenly remembered that the black shadow that attacked her before seemed to have similar scales on its body.

Is it...

Chu Mengmeng had a bold guess in her mind. She held the scale tightly, and her eyes gradually became firm. She must find out what the scale represents, and whether Xiao Yichen's concealment and the misunderstanding between them are related to all this.

As night fell, Chu Mengmeng walked alone on the empty street. The cold wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves and blowing away the last bit of warmth in her heart. She knew that what separated her and Xiao Yichen was not only misunderstandings, but also many secrets that she didn't know.
