Chapter 16: You Believe I Am Not a Bad Person

Lu Sisi, who just turned eighteen and is currently a freshman, is on the verge of tears.

After all, there were no classes this afternoon, so she came here to stroll around; earlier, while eating at a snack shop on the second floor and sitting by the window, she took out her phone to take pictures of the street scene.

As a result, her hand slipped... a scream came from below, and then a crowd swarmed up to curse.

The girl, realizing she had caused trouble, immediately ran down in a flash, only to see right in front of her the guy who had punched her on the plane, standing by the roadside.

Now Lu Sisi didn't know whether she should feel nervous, anxious, or afraid.

Yes, afraid.

Although a few days ago, when Chen Bai Yan was handling matters at the airport, he claimed he had mistaken her for someone else.

But Lu Sisi always felt something was wrong—she didn't know why, but she always felt that this guy hadn't mistaken her for someone else.

She always suspected that this man had deliberately sought her out, deliberately singled her out to punch.

There was no evidence, just a inexplicable feeling.

·

Lu Sisi looked extremely panicked, stammering apologies to Xiao Zhao, desperately explaining that it wasn't intentional, and frantically recounting how she had been taking pictures of the scenery by the window with her phone and how her hand had slipped...

Then the girl, with red eyes, stated that she was willing to compensate.

But seeing the phone lying on the ground, dead beyond any hope of revival, the girl was dumbfounded.

Without a phone, she couldn't even compensate with money.

·

Seeing that this Miss had such a good attitude, and was on the verge of tears as she spoke—the students following Xiao Zhao gradually fell silent, their accusations dying down.

A good attitude was one thing, but more importantly... the girl looked so clear, delicate, and cute, with a look that made one feel pity just seeing her.

Who isn't a slave to beauty?

Xiao Zhao immediately loudly declared that he was fine, and even comforted the Miss not to be too afraid, saying he wasn't a bad person and wouldn't try to extort money...

Looking at Xiao Zhao's demeanor, he seemed eager to perform push-ups on the spot to prove he was unharmed.

Seeing Xiao Zhao's cheap act, Chen Bai Yan sighed internally, but still stepped forward and said, "How about we go to the hospital just in case? What if you got a concussion or something?"

"Yes, yes, going to the hospital to check is good too," Lu Sisi nodded and quickly agreed.

Chen Bai Yan remembered that at the airport, this Miss had generously forgiven him, not taking the opportunity to demand an exorbitant sum; she wasn't a bad person at heart.

"No need to go to the hospital; this is a minor injury, I'll just put a bandage on it later," Xiao Zhao continued to grin shamelessly, "How about this, give me your phone number, and I'll find you if anything comes up."

Chen Bai Yan glanced at Xiao Zhao; his intentions were practically written all over his face.

Chen Bai Yan remained expressionless, lightly kicked Xiao Zhao's heel from behind, and said, "We should still go to the hospital; I remember there's a small hospital just a street away, it's not far, and checking will give us peace of mind."

"Ah?"

Xiao Zhao was a bit confused, but he noticed Chen Bai Yan looking at him with a very serious expression, while giving a very subtle nod.

He and Chen Bai Yan were very close friends and had always trusted Chen Bai Yan; although he still didn't quite understand, he did not voice any objection.

Chen Bai Yan glanced at Lu Sisi: "You coming along to the hospital, that request isn't excessive, is it?"

"Not excessive, not excessive!" Lu Sisi immediately agreed: "I'll go, I'm willing to go."

Pausing for a moment, the girl, with a somewhat ashamed expression, whispered, "However, my phone is broken, can the medical fees be owed for now? I can leave my phone number with you; I, I absolutely won't run away."

As she spoke, the girl picked up her bag, rummaged inside to pull out a small notepad and a pen, flipped it open, wrote down a line of phone numbers, and then privately handed over the page.

Just as Xiao Zhao was reaching to take it, Chen Bai Yan stepped forward expressionlessly and took it into his hand first.

Then he waved his hand, his face calm: "Let's go."

·

Leaving Xiao Zhao's students behind, Chen Bai Yan, Xiao Zhao, and Lu Sisi went together.

There was indeed a small hospital nearby, not far away, reachable by walking for about five or six minutes.

On the way, Chen Bai Yan specifically had Lu Sisi walk in front, while he and Xiao Zhao walked side by side behind.

Lu Sisi accepted this request with a sense of grievance; she thought Chen Bai Yan made her walk in front because he was afraid she would run away.

"Brother, actually, it's really unnecessary."

On the road, Xiao Zhao communicated with Chen Bai Yan in a lowered voice.

Chen Bai Yan waved his hand without speaking, walked with his head down, but occasionally, he would secretly glance at Lu Sisi's back.

Of course, it wasn't that Chen Bai Yan had developed any lecherous thoughts.

But rather...

Under the state of activating the Heaven Eye to observe Qi, the black aura of bad luck atop this Miss's head looked even stranger!

·

The last time they parted at the airport, Chen Bai Yan had actually wanted to chase out and find this Miss to properly examine her fortune.

And this encounter, with Chen Bai Yan activating the Heaven Eye to observe Qi and people, plus the "Fortune Zhou Calculation"...

This cute Miss, to ordinary people, just looked clear and delicate, but when Chen Bai Yan used the Person-Observation Method, he saw her eyebrows raised, the corners of her eyes pale, her forehead tinged with green, and her lips with a floating, bloodless hue...

If Chen Bai Yan remembered correctly, according to the Heaven Eye Person-Observation Art in the manual, this was called...

(The appearance of drowning?)

Chen Bai Yan frowned inwardly.

Last time it was a disaster of bloodshed.

This time, the black aura of bad luck gathered again, but transformed into the appearance of drowning.

According to the speed at which the black aura gathered, if no one intervened, this Miss would, in a few days, likely fall into water and drown.

This little girl... is she the reincarnation of a star of bad luck?

·

The three walked to the outside of the hospital; the hospital lobby was just a short distance ahead.

In the open area of the hospital lobby, there was a small artificial fountain; the water wasn't deep, but it seemed that, likely to save expenses, it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, the water wasn't very clean, and some rotting leaves and such floated inside.

Chen Bai Yan had originally been walking side by side with Xiao Zhao, following right behind Lu Sisi.

When they reached the edge of the fountain, Chen Bai Yan suddenly took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and hurried forward two steps.

Then, suddenly, he kicked Lu Sisi's buttocks with a flying kick!

"Ah!" The girl let out a startled scream and plunged headfirst into the fountain.

Splash!

Water splashed in all directions.

Xiao Zhao, watching from behind, was completely dumbfounded!!!

Then, watching Lu Sisi fall into the fountain and panic-flail, the girl, in her haste, choked violently on several mouthfuls of water.

Chen Bai Yan finally jumped onto the fountain's edge, grabbed the girl's hand, and pulled her up.

Lu Sisi coughed violently, unable to catch her breath, spitting out water mouthful by mouthful.

The next second...

Chen Bai Yan turned his head, glaring at the still-dumbfounded Xiao Zhao, yet he himself wore an expression of righteous indignation:

"I'm telling you! Even if you're angry that she injured you by smashing something, you can't kick her into the water!!"

"............"

Xiao Zhao's vision went black!

Huh?!

"I..."

"After all, she's a girl!"

"No, I didn't..."

"You're a man, at least! Apologize to her quickly!"

"No, how did I..."

"Stop talking! Apologize quickly!"

As Chen Bai Yan and Xiao Zhao exchanged words back and forth, Xiao Zhao was so angry he nearly rolled his eyes, but Chen Bai Yan cut him off with every sentence, leaving him unable to utter a single complete sentence.

Just at that moment.

"Waaah!!!"

Lu Sisi, now completely soaked like a drowned rat, finally burst into tears of grievance.

With red eyes and a face flushed red from grievance, sobbing until she could barely catch her breath, she looked at Chen Bai Yan and Xiao Zhao, her voice broken, trembling, and thick with tears as she spoke:

"You, you did it on purpose, you are bad people! You are bullying me!!"

Having said that, the Miss covered her face and ran away in tears...

·

Only after watching the girl run far away did Xiao Zhao turn to look at Chen Bai Yan.

Chen Bai Yan narrowed his eyes, his expression calm.

Hmm, judging by the girl's back, the black qi above her head had dissipated a bit more; this should count as another 【successful early disaster-averting】.

Her life should be saved now.

However... her fortune is truly strange.

In a few days, once my skills have improved a bit, I'll study the spells regarding fortune in the book more and then look for this Miss again. Anyway, I've kept her phone number.

It's not that Chen Bai Yan is meddling.

First, this little girl is a good person, and Chen Bai Yan doesn't want to watch her suffer sudden misfortune.

Second, she is also good material for testing the level of my skills.

·

Seeing Chen Bai Yan still staring blankly at the girl's back, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but call out resentfully: "Brother..."

Chen Bai Yan sighed, turned around, looked at Xiao Zhao, and sincerely apologized first: "Sorry just now, made you take the blame."

"You just..."

"I don't know how to explain it; how about you just consider it me venting my anger for you?"

Xiao Zhao knew he was talking nonsense and forcefully rolled his eyes.

Venting your anger for me?

Guess if I believe it?

Hmm? Wait, that's wrong!

Xiao Zhao was a smart person and immediately asked: "Brother, do you know that girl? Do you have a grudge against her?"

Chen Bai Yan didn't even stumble, answering smoothly: "Yes, that's right, she is my ex-girlfriend."

"...", Xiao Zhao continued to roll his eyes: "Brother, if you really don't want to say it, you don't have to."

Chen Bai Yan smiled and patted Xiao Zhao's shoulder: "Alright, alright, no joking.

Brother, it's not that I want to lie to you, but I have unavoidable reasons why I can't tell this story outside.

You believe I'm not a bad person, right? Then don't ask."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao first lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, I won't ask too much, not because I think your act of kicking someone is right.

But, I believe you, Brother Chen Bai Yan, are absolutely not a bad person."

Chen Bai Yan smiled.

He thought, of course I'm not a bad person; I was just saving her life just now.

Not only that; in just a few days, I've already saved her life twice!

If this really got out, she'd have to enshrine me!

·

This one thing about Little Zhao really suits Chen Bai Yan's temperament.

Unlike certain male creatures—who look like men but are actually human-shaped Boiling Sheep—every time they see a woman get into some conflict with someone, and the woman just acts like she's been wronged… oh boy, then it's on!

Before they even figured out cause and effect, regardless of right or wrong, they'd rush up to play knight in shining armor.

At Chen Bai Yan and Little Zhao's school, there had once been such an incident.

Once, a girl was walking back to the dorm feeling all wronged, and ran into two guys. The girl poured out her grievances, saying she'd been bullied by the owner of a wonton stall off campus. The moment the two Boiling Sheep heard this, they couldn't hold back their chivalrous hearts, rushed off campus to the wonton stall and made a huge scene. Verbal clashes inevitably led to some shoving, and they even damaged the stall's stuff.

In the end, they even alarmed the campus security office.

The result, after a later investigation, was that the girl had previously gone to eat wontons, and while eating she played mobile games. She played too long, and the wontons went completely cold and soggy.

The girl demanded the owner give her a fresh bowl, free of charge, the kind where you don't pay.

Of course the owner wasn't happy with this absurd demand.

The girl played the rogue, but the owner didn't indulge her and directly threw her out.

The girl came back and grew angrier the more she thought about it, and just happened to run into two Boiling Sheep on the way…

A whole farce—and they still damaged the stall owner's stuff.

In the end, the two guys not only had to apologize, but each had to pay two hundred in compensation.

They had to pay out of their own pockets too; the girl didn't fork out a single cent.

Because the girl said: it's not like I told them to go cause trouble.

Why has Chen Bai Yan never opened his heart to Hu Shangke? Hu Shangke isn't a bad person either.

Just because of that incident—one of those two Boiling Sheep was Hu Tiangou.
