Chapter Fourteen [Do You Believe I'm Not a Bad Person]
Lu Sisi, who just turned 18 and is in her first year of university, was about to burst into tears.
Originally, there were no classes this afternoon, so she came here to stroll around, and while eating in a snack shop on the second floor, she sat by the window and took out her phone to take pictures of the street scene.
But then, her hand slipped... and with a scream below, a crowd gathered and started scolding.
The girl, knowing she was in trouble, quickly ran down, only to run into that guy who punched her on the plane, standing by the roadside.
Lu Sisi didn't know whether to feel nervous, anxious, or scared.
Yes, scared.
Although a few days ago at the airport, Chen Yan claimed he mistook her for someone else.
But Lu Sisi always felt something was off—she didn't know why, but she always felt that guy didn't really mistake her for someone else.
She always suspected that this man intentionally sought her out, deliberately aimed that punch at her.
No evidence, just a strange feeling.
·
Lu Sisi looked flustered, stammering apologies to Xiaozhao, desperately explaining that it was not intentional, nervously recounting how she was taking pictures with her phone by the window, how her hand slipped...
Then the girl, with red eyes, said she was willing to compensate.
But seeing the phone lying dead on the ground, the girl was dumbfounded.
No phone, even if she wanted to pay, she couldn't.
·
Seeing the girl's good attitude, almost crying as she spoke—the students following Xiaozhao gradually stopped criticizing her.
A good attitude counts, but more importantly... the girl was cute and fragile-looking.
After all, aren't we all captivated by looks?
Xiaozhao also quickly and loudly said he was fine, comforting the girl not to be too scared, saying he wasn't a bad person and wouldn't blackmail her...
Looking at how Xiaozhao appeared ready to do push-ups on the spot to show he was okay, Chen Yan sighed inwardly but still approached, saying, "Maybe you should still go to the hospital? What if it's a concussion or something?"
"Yes, yes, going to the hospital is a good idea," Lu Sisi quickly agreed, nodding.
Chen Yan remembered that at the airport, this girl had generously forgiven him without trying to extort him, showing she wasn't bad-hearted.
"No need for a hospital, this small injury, I'll just put on a band-aid later," Xiaozhao still smiled sillily, "How about this, you give me your phone number, just in case something comes up I'll contact you."
Chen Yan glanced at Xiaozhao, reading his thoughts written clearly on his face.
Chen Yan calmly kicked Xiaozhao's heel lightly from behind, "Better go to the hospital, I remember there's a small hospital just a street away, not far, better be safe."
"Huh?"
Xiaozhao was a bit confused but sensed Chen Yan's serious look, so he didn't object.
Chen Yan looked at Lu Sisi, "You should go to the hospital with us, that's not asking too much, right?"
"Not too much, not too much!" Lu Sisi agreed immediately, "I'll go, I'm willing."
She paused, looking a bit embarrassed, and softly said, "But my phone is broken, can I owe the medical fee for now? I can leave my number, I won't run away."
Then the girl took out a small notepad and pen from her bag, wrote down a phone number, and handed the note over.
Xiaozhao was about to take it when Chen Yan nonchalantly stepped forward and grabbed it first.
He then waved his hand, his face calm, "Let's go."
·
Leaving behind Xiaozhao's students, Chen Yan, Xiaozhao, and Lu Sisi headed to the hospital together.
There happened to be a small hospital nearby, only a five or six minute walk.
On the way, Chen Yan specifically had Lu Sisi walk in front, while he and Xiaozhao followed side by side.
Lu Sisi grudgingly accepted this, thinking Chen Yan made her walk in front to prevent her from running away.
"Bro, it's really not necessary," Xiaozhao said in a low voice while walking.
Chen Yan just waved and kept walking, occasionally stealing glances at Lu Sisi's back.
Not because he had any ill intentions.
But because...
In his Celestial Eye Gaze state, the black aura of bad luck around this girl's head looked increasingly strange!
·
Since their encounter at the airport, Chen Yan had intended to chase after her and properly examine her fate.
This time, seeing her again, Chen Yan used his Celestial Eye Gazing Technique, combined with the Destiny Cycle...
To ordinary people, this girl seemed cute and demure, but under Chen Yan's Observing People Technique, her raised eyebrows, pale eyes, greenish forehead, and bloodless lips...
According to the technique described in the book, this was...
(Drowning Fate?)
Chen Yan frowned.
Last time, it was a blood calamity.
This time, the black aura gathered again, now turning into a drowning fate.
If no one interferes, within a few days, she might drown.
Is this girl some sort of bad luck reincarnate?
·
The three reached the hospital; the lobby was just ahead.
Outside the lobby was a small artificial fountain, the water not deep, seemingly unclean and filled with floating dead leaves.
Walking by the fountain, Chen Yan quickened his pace and suddenly rushed forward...
With a swift kick to Lu Sisi's backside!
"Ah!" The girl screamed, plunging into the fountain.
Splash!
Water splattered everywhere.
Xiaozhao was stunned!!!
Then, seeing Lu Sisi flailing and chugging mouthfuls of water, Chen Yan jumped onto the fountain edge, grabbed her hand, and pulled her out.
Gasping for breath, Lu Sisi coughed violently, spitting out water.
The next second...
Chen Yan turned, glaring at the still-dazed Xiaozhao, with a righteous indignation:
"I say, even if you were mad at her for hitting you, you shouldn't kick her into the water!!"
"......"
Xiaozhao saw stars!
What?!
"I..."
"She's still a girl, after all!"
"No, I didn't..."
"You're a man, apologize!"
"No, how could I..."
"Enough! Apologize!"
As Chen Yan's words flew back and forth, Xiaozhao was so angry he almost fainted but couldn't get a complete sentence out.
At that moment.
"Waaah!!!"
Soaked and resembling a drowned rat, Lu Sisi finally burst into tears.
Her eyes red, face flushed with grievance, sobbing hard, she accused Chen Yan and Xiaozhao, her voice trembling:
"You, you did it on purpose! You're bad people! You bullied me!!"
Tearfully, she ran off, crying.
·
Xiaozhao watched her run off before turning to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan squinted, appearing calm.
Hmm, watching the girl's retreating figure, the black aura above her head dissipated somewhat, indicating another successful Yingjie.
Her life was probably saved.
However, her luck was indeed strange.
After a few days, Chen Yan planned to study more luck-related spells from his book and then find her again. After all, he still had her phone number.
It's not that Chen Yan was nosy.
Firstly, this girl was kind; Chen Yan didn't want to see her suffer misfortune.
Secondly, she was a good subject for testing the extent of his skills.
·
Xiaozhao, seeing Chen Yan still gazing at the girl's disappearing figure, couldn't help but call out resentfully, "Bro..."
Chen Yan sighed, turning to Xiaozhao, earnestly saying, "Sorry about letting you take the blame earlier."
"You just..."
"Don't know how to explain, so maybe just think of it as me venting your anger?"
Xiaozhao knew he was talking nonsense, rolling his eyes hard.
Venting my anger?
Do you think I believe that?
Wait! No!
Xiaozhao, a smart guy, immediately asked, "Bro, do you know that girl? Do you have a grudge against her?"
Chen Yan smoothly replied without a stutter, "Yes, she's my ex-girlfriend."
"...," Xiaozhao rolled his eyes again, "Bro, if you don't want to say, you don't have to."
Chen Yan chuckled, patting his shoulder, "Alright, alright, no more joking.
Brother, not that I want to lie to you, but there's a reason I can't explain.
Do you trust that I'm not a bad person? If so, don't ask anymore."
After thinking it over, Xiaozhao slowly responded, "Fine, I won't ask more. It's not that I think your actions were right, but because I believe you, Brother Chen Yan, are not a bad person."
Chen Yan smiled.
He thought, of course, I'm not a bad person; I just saved her life.
In fact, in just a few days, I saved her twice!
If I told her, she might even worship me!
·
And this point in Xiaozhao particularly matched Chen Yan's personality.
Unlike some men, who at first glance seem manly, but act foolishly as soon as they see a woman in distress, jumping to be their knight without understanding the situation.
Once, there was an incident involving their school's noodle stand.
A girl was complaining to two guys about being mistreated by the stand's owner. Without verifying, the two rushed to protect her and caused a commotion, damaging the stand.
It turned out the girl wanted a free noodle replacement after letting her initial bowl get cold while playing games.
The owner naturally refused, kicked her out, and she vented to the boys.
They compensated for the damage and apologized, with no help from the girl who said: It's not like I asked them to cause trouble.
Chen Yan avoided being close to Hu Shangke because one of those boys was Hu Licking Dog.
