Chapter 37: Chen Yan’s Heroic Rescue and Revelation
Chen Yan's sharp eyes noticed that a speeding electric bike was coming from the street corner, ridden by a food delivery guy in a yellow jacket.
He was likely rushing to deliver an order, and he was driving against traffic.
The little girl was running headlong without noticing, and the bike was about to hit her!
Given the speed and force, if it hit her, she'd be lucky if she didn't end up in the hospital for at least a couple of weeks!
Chen Yan didn't have time to think, he took a deep breath!
Law Order·Escape Rune Technique!
In an instant, Chen Yan's body suddenly felt light and he moved like the wind, covering a distance of over ten meters in a flash!
He reached the little girl just as the electric bike was about to crash into Lu Sisi.
At this moment, Lu Sisi had seen the incoming bike and screamed in fright, but she was too startled to move, standing frozen in place.
Chen Yan, with the grace of the wind, performed a flying kick in mid-air!
"Move!!"
Bang!
Lu Sisi was sent flying, her entire body forming a big 'X' shape in the air.
Then...
She plunged headfirst into the bushes alongside the road!
·
Chen Yan, after kicking Lu Sisi away, landed on the ground and suddenly heard a whizzing sound in his ear.
He turned his head...
In his vision, another food delivery guy in a blue jacket appeared from who knows where and was headed straight for him, shouting.
Chen Yan: "Damn!"
Bang!
·
Truth be told, the emergency center at this private hospital was really expensive.
At this moment, Chen Yan was sitting in the treatment room of the emergency ward, where a nurse was cleaning the wound on his forehead and finally put a piece of medical gauze on it.
Even though it hurt like hell, he didn't dare move.
The injury on his head wasn't serious; it was just a scratch that bled a bit.
The real problem was that the crash from that blue rider had twisted Mr. Chen the Benefactor's back.
Now, any slight movement caused him pain.
Chen Yan was wincing in pain, while not far from him, Lu Sisi was sitting on another treatment table. Another nurse was cleaning the wound on Lu Sisi's forehead, just like she did for Chen Yan.
Moments later, they looked oddly like a couple: both had a piece of gauze on their forehead.
One on the left, one on the right.
Lu Sisi had a pale face and fearful, angry eyes, occasionally stealing glances at Chen Yan. But the little girl was timid, showing a scared but defiant look.
Chen Yan sighed, waited for the nurses to leave, and then softly said, "Hey, Lu Sisi, are you okay?"
"...It was you who kicked me into the bushes!"
The little girl gritted her teeth. Her voice was low, but her tone was clearly resentful.
"Well...I did it to save you. If I hadn't kicked you, you would've been hit by that bike."
But the girl looked at Chen Yan with a hint of hostility. "Last time at the fountain, you also kicked me into the water!"
"No, no, that wasn't me. It was my classmate who did it. I even scolded him afterwards."
The girl responded by rolling her eyes.
Her face stubborn, she murmured, "And on the plane! You said you hit me because you mistook me for someone else, but I don't believe you. You did it on purpose that time too!"
Chen Yan looked at Lu Sisi and understood—alright, she's developed a rebellious attitude towards him.
"You're a bad person! Why do you keep bullying me? I don't know you, and I've never provoked you!"
As Lu Sisi spoke, her eyes suddenly reddened, and her lips quivered as if she was about to cry.
"Don't cry! Please don't cry!" Chen Yan quickly tried to comfort her, "Don't cry, come on! I didn't bully you; I really didn't!
I'm telling you, don't cry! This is a hospital. If you cry, people might think I've done something to you!"
He hadn't even finished talking when Lu Sisi, probably feeling overwhelmed, suddenly burst into tears.
Crying, she sobbed intermittently, "I-I don't know you! Why...why do you...always target me... I've already had enough bad luck! You...you always...bully me!
I've had enough bad...wah wah wah wah wah wah!!"
The little girl suddenly widened her eyes and struggled fiercely.
Chen Yan quickly covered her mouth and held her arm down, "Stop crying! I have something important to tell you!!!"
"Mmm mmm mmm..."
"Have you been having bad luck recently? Like, constantly bad things happening? Getting hurt, getting sick, just everything going wrong?"
"Mmm..." Chen Yan felt that the girl's struggle had weakened a lot, and her expression was becoming strange.
"I'm telling you, that time on the plane, I saw you were going to have a major disaster.
When I hit you, it was to help you break the tribulation! Otherwise, accumulating such bad luck would've resulted in much worse than a bleeding nose.
And the time I kicked you into the fountain, I saw you were going to have a drowning disaster!
You know what a drowning disaster is? You could've drowned!
So I kicked you into the fountain.
The fountain is shallow, and I was there to watch. At most, you'd choke on some water, nothing serious would happen.
Choking on a bit of water is better than drowning, right?
Understand?
And just now...
You saw for yourself, didn't you? The delivery rider was about to hit you!
You saw it, right!?
If I hadn't kicked you away, you'd probably have broken bones by now!"
Suddenly, Lu Sisi stopped struggling.
Although other things might not be clear, and she might not believe them.
But she couldn't forget that just now she really was almost hit by a delivery rider—she had been too scared to even move at that moment.
She hadn't forgotten this.
Chen Yan, still covering her mouth and staring into her eyes, continued, "I have something serious to tell you.
I can help you!
Listen to me, I might be able to change your bad luck!"
"Mmm?"
·
He finally let go.
After he released his hand, Chen Yan took a step back, and the girl immediately moved away, breathing heavily, tears in her eyes, staring at him.
"You...you almost suffocated me."
"...Uh, sorry about that." Glancing at the treatment room door behind him, Chen Yan quickly said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else to chat.
Anyway, I'm not a bad person. I genuinely want to help you.
If you think what I said was accurate—that you've been really unlucky recently, then I..."
"No, you...you..." Lu Sisi suddenly looked at Chen Yan with a strange expression, "I-I believe you."
"Huh? You believe me just like that?"
Even Chen Yan was surprised.
This girl is so trusting?
I've punched you before and kicked you into the water!
And you believe me just like that?!
I still have a whole bunch of explanations I haven't even used yet!
Seriously, girl, with your gullibility, you're going to get scammed into buying health products before you even get old!
·
"No, it's not that. I believe you because what you said was accurate, but... but..." Lu Sisi's face grew stranger, and what she said next left Chen Yan dumbfounded:
"I-I've not just been unlucky recently.
I've been unlucky for eighteen years... From childhood until now, I've always been unlucky..."
