One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 204: Seven Years

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but look toward the upcoming plot.

“Before this child was born, Qin Mobei had already chosen a name for him. Qin Xi, with ‘Xi’ meaning hope. He placed too many expectations on this child and firmly believed that as long as he had this genius son, everything would get better. Everything he had lost now would be regained after the child grew up, even doubled!”

This child did not disappoint Qin Mobei’s expectations. When he was born, he opened his eyes, immediately appearing smarter than other infants. His IQ was as high as 180; he was destined to become a major figure who would stir up the world.”

Ye Xiao read this passage very carefully.

Then, before the plot unfolded, she quickly changed one word.

She was still worried that this attempt might also fail.

But this time,

Changing the word went smoothly and was successful.

Ye Xiao watched as the words in the book changed, and only then did she relax. This round was stable!

“His IQ was as high as 180” was directly changed by Ye Xiao to “His IQ was as high as 18”!

An IQ of 18!

Generally speaking, an IQ below 70 points is considered mild mental retardation.

An IQ of 18 is absolutely a severe intellectual deficiency.

The genius boy from before, this time, had become someone with an intellectual disability.

And it was a serious one; this child would need to be cared for by others for life, completely lacking the ability to live independently, even struggling to control his own limbs.

Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue had waited so long for their biological son, only to be greeted by a child who would need their care for a lifetime.

Ye Xiao was also very curious if this child could still become their hope!

As soon as Ye Xiao made the change,

The book immediately crashed, the original words slowly vanished, but the new plot was taking its time to emerge.

Ye Xiao wasn’t in a hurry.

The degree of destruction of this book must have already been through the roof.

She just needed to quietly wait for an ending.

In the hospital.

The child Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue had been expecting was finally born.

It was said in the dreams that this child’s IQ was extraordinary and he wouldn’t need to grow up for too long.

Seven years.

Just seven years.

With his terrifying talent, the child could change everything, even the world.

Eager to see his precious son at the earliest moment, Qin Mobei was present for the birth in the delivery room. As soon as the child was born and the nurse had just finished attending to him, Qin Mobei eagerly took him in his arms.

But the moment he saw the child,

A sudden feeling of discomfort hit Qin Mobei’s heart.

Something seemed off about this child’s appearance…

The child from the dreams didn’t look like this.

An IQ of 18 caused significant changes in the child’s facial appearance.

The attending physician was very experienced and guessed that there might be problems with the child. She tactfully said, “There might be omissions during prenatal testing. It’s possible to perform some additional examinations for this baby.”

Qin Mobei fixed his gaze on the doctor immediately, “Examination, what kind of examination do you mean?”

The doctor was taken aback, but adhering to her professional ethics, she tactfully suggested, “Perhaps… we could check his IQ?”

She knew it was cruel to say such things to a man who had just become a father, but it was her duty to advise.

The doctor was prepared for Qin Mobei to react with rage.

However,

To her surprise, Qin Mobei suddenly became excited.

He held Qin Xi carefully as if cradling hope for the future.

“You see it too, right? This child, his IQ is extraordinary, he will be a genius!” Qin Mobei said somewhat excitedly.

Chen Yueyue also said with a smile, “Our child will, of course, be a genius.”

“Yueyue, it was hard for you to give birth to such a wonderful baby for me.” Qin Mobei looked at Chen Yueyue with tender affection.

Chen Yueyue smiled back tenderly.

The doctor hesitated and eventually chose to keep silent.

Forget it, forget it.

She had given her warning, after all.

If the child had any problems, with Qin Mobei’s wealth, he could surely afford to care for it. It wasn’t her place to worry.

Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue didn’t notice the doctor’s strange expression; they had completely immersed themselves in the joy of their genius son finally being born.

Ye Xiao closed the book.

Now, apart from Ye Bingtong’s book, there was already an ending.

The remaining three books were also slowly moving toward their respective endings.

They didn’t even need her to do anything more; they would reach their conclusions on their own.

Just as Ye Xiao closed the book, there was a knock at the door.

Ye Xiao opened the door.

Du Yaru was holding a plate of fruit, looking at her with some concern.

“Mom,” Ye Xiao stepped aside to make room.

Du Yaru entered, put down the fruit, and carefully picked out a small piece of honeydew for Ye Xiao.

Watching Ye Xiao taste it bite by bite, she said softly, “Xiaoxiao, you… are you going to join the film crew again?”

After shooting “Dark Night,” although the movie hadn’t been released yet, Li Mingyu had been promoting Ye Xiao everywhere, and she had gained a certain level of recognition in the industry.

In just a few days, new scripts had been delivered to her doorstep.

Among them were scripts for leading roles, but since she was still a newcomer, the quality of those scripts for the leading roles was rather average.

So, Ye Xiao had chosen a script with a supporting role, and in a few days, she was going to join the crew.

“Mm-hmm, I’ll be joining the crew the day after tomorrow,” Ye Xiao responded.

Du Yaru hesitated and finally said, “Berlin mentioned that for this movie, you can only play a supporting role. Actually, you don’t have to compromise like this; we could have your older brother invest in a script for you to continue playing leading roles.”

Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, “Mom, whether it’s a leading or supporting role isn’t important. Although this script’s supporting character doesn’t have a lot of screen time, her character is very well-defined, and the contrast between her earlier and later parts is something I find intriguing. I just want to challenge myself.”

And furthermore,

a supporting role?

Wasn’t Ye Xiao, herself, also a supporting character?

To Ye Xiao, whether it was a leading role or supporting role, was not an important issue.

Everyone who controlled their own life was the protagonist in their life’s story.

Du Yaru stared at Ye Xiao for a long while, then she revealed a smile of understanding, “I see. Then… take good care of yourself. Mind your health.”

Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, then smiled, “Okay.”

Ye Xiao soon joined the crew again.

As soon as she did, Lin Yun took on the movie’s music work at a low cost.

However, this time she didn’t follow the crew the entire time but visited Ye Xiao now and then.

Ye Xiao didn’t dare to form too many attachments with the people in this world.

One reason was that she was afraid of growing too fond of them and being unable to let go later on.

The second was the concern that it would be difficult to deal with when Ye Xiao would return.

Ye Xiao always refrained from getting too close to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had a vague sense of something, but she didn’t care and still followed Ye Xiao all over the place.

Wherever Ye Xiao joined a film crew, she would take on a related job.

As a result, it became known in all the crews that securing Ye Xiao meant also securing Lin Yun, the top music master.

The other person who followed Ye Xiao everywhere was Gu Yan.
