Chapter 444 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 21
Although Pei Lin didn't know exactly what had happened, he realized that it was related to him.
He looked at Wen Qi and Lin Ranran, "Excuse me, can I speak with Yun Qing alone?"
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran turned to look at Yun Qing, who was holding onto them tightly and shaking her head frantically.
No, no! She'll steal Rinrin's luck!
Yun Qing was unwilling, so Wen Qi and Lin Ranran naturally couldn't abandon her.
Pei Lin had no choice but to compromise, "Then can we find a place to sit down and talk together?"
Yun Qing wanted to refuse, but Lin Ranran whispered in her ear, "Yun Qing, this Mr. Pei doesn't seem like the kind of person who would give up easily. If you don't go, even if you avoid this time, he will definitely come looking for you again later."
"Besides, if he really cares about you, wouldn't he be sad if you suddenly distanced yourself from him without saying a word?"
Lin Ranran wouldn't make decisions for Yun Qing, but Yun Qing was currently quite emotional and might not be able to consider things carefully, so she naturally had to remind her to avoid her regretting it later.
As for whether or not to have a proper talk, whether to find an excuse to keep Mr. Pei at a distance for the time being, or to tell the truth, it all depends on Yun Qing's wishes.
Yun Qing glanced at Pei Lin, and thinking of his injured expression, she felt terrible. It was clearly not his fault.
She gritted her teeth, nodded with a look of grim determination, and said, "Okay!"
Rinrin has the right to know the truth.
If he finds out and hates her, then she... then she should just go back and cry to the little black dragon.
Although Pei Lin was anxious, he remained polite and, after consulting their opinions, chose a small hot pot restaurant near the school and booked a private room.
Seeing Yun Qing pull Wen Qi and Lin Ranran to sit in the seats furthest away from him, Pei Lin felt a pang of sadness.
At noon, I was sitting next to him, happily playing with his hands.
Wen Qi was also thinking of getting Yun Qing to eat spicy food, so she consulted Pei Lin and asked for his opinion on getting an extra spicy hot pot.
Pei Lin said he had no objection, but Yun Qing did, "I want a hot pot with two broths."
Wen Qi asked, puzzled, "Why do we need a half-and-half hot pot? We can all handle spicy food, so we can just get an extra spicy one."
At this moment, Pei Lin spoke up: "Actually... I can't handle spicy food very well."
Wen Qi & Lin Ranran: ? ? ?
We thought you guys were being all lovey-dovey, but then we were bombarded with PDA and realized how silly we'd been.
They looked at Yun Qing, then at Pei Lin, and fell silent.
Finally, the task of ordering food was simply handed over to Yun Qing.
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran originally thought Pei Lin would be eager to ask Yun Qing why she was avoiding him, but he said instead, "Let's eat first."
He's quite composed.
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran simply stopped talking and started eating.
Yunqing ate while feeling sad.
After eating for a while, Yun Qing looked up at Pei Lin and saw that he was staring at her and hadn't touched his chopsticks much. She poked at the fatty beef in her bowl, lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, and said, "You should eat properly."
Pei Lin said in a muffled voice, "I have no appetite."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing looked up and stared straight at him, wanting to say something to him, but then felt unworthy, her expression aggrieved.
Pei Lin didn't last three seconds before obediently scooping up a mouthful of vegetables and eating them.
Wen Qi & Lin Ranran: ...
No! Are you two sure you haven't talked?
Then they watched as Yun Qing ate a few bites, glanced at Mr. Pei across from her, and then Mr. Pei consciously picked up a piece of food and ate it.
Wen Qi & Lin Ranran: Today's hot pot is so filling!
After everyone had finished eating, Pei Lin took a sip of tea and said, "Qingqing, can you tell me why you're avoiding me?"
"Whether I stick my neck out or not, I'll still get hurt," Yun Qing mustered her courage and said directly, "Because I'll drain your luck!"
After saying that, seeing Pei Lin stunned, she lowered her voice and said in a muffled tone, "So, don't get too close to me in the future."
Pei Lin snapped out of his daze and frowned, asking, "Who told you that?"
He really didn't expect Yun Qing to know about this.
He had only tried letting her bask in the purple aura; he hadn't yet determined whether it could truly change her luck.
His first suspect was Yu You.
When he came to pick her up, the address Master Yu gave him was the university where Yun Qing was studying, which is why he happened to run into Yun Qing choking on a meatball.
Then it wouldn't be difficult for her to get close to Yun Qing.
Moreover, as of now, apart from his family, there are probably not many people who know about his destiny, and Master Yu is one of them.
Could it be that Yu You discovered his close relationship with Yun Qing, and therefore set her sights on Yun Qing?
His expression darkened slightly; this was indeed his mistake.
The main reason was that he had only ever considered Yun Qing as an ordinary friend, and he didn't think their relationship was close enough for Yu You to make a move on her.
In addition, he has long believed in science and has always been skeptical of these mystical things, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Ultimately, his choice to believe in metaphysics and his hope that he truly possessed an incomparably noble destiny were more about trying to change Yun Qing's fate.
Yun Qing said listlessly, "I figured it out myself."
"I always seem to have good luck after seeing you. What a coincidence!"
"Besides, it's strange that someone as unlucky as me would suddenly have such abnormally good luck."
Pei Lin was somewhat surprised, "Every time? You've been on a lucky streak ever since we first met?"
So, his destiny is real?
However, when they met at noon today, he intentionally tried to get close to Yun Qing, wanting her to benefit from the purple aura. He hadn't realized before that she could benefit from the purple aura.
Previously, he had unknowingly protected his aunt's family, who were all relatives.
So, Yun Qing is destined to become his family?
Thinking this way, Pei Lin felt instantly happy, and the purple aura around him began to sway from side to side.
However, seeing that Yun Qing looked like she was about to be overwhelmed by guilt, he quickly said, "You don't need to blame yourself. I'm the one who made you take it."
The three people opposite him all looked at him, completely bewildered.
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran had considered all sorts of reactions Pei Lin might have after finding out about this, but they never expected it to be like this.
Yun Qing snapped out of her daze, her eyes brimming with tears, "I really did steal your luck!"
"I'm not a good person..."
Although Pei Lin said that he made her absorb his luck, Yun Qing believed that absorbing someone's luck was inherently evil, and she firmly believed that her absorption of Pei Lin's luck would cause him to become unlucky.
And who knows if Pei Lin was just comforting her? Lin Lin is such a good person...
Yunqing cried until her nose was red and she looked pitiful.
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran should have comforted her, but after exchanging a glance, they made an excuse to leave the private room.
They felt that Mr. Pei's comfort was more effective at this time, as they were in the way.
Moreover, given Pei Lin's attitude, they don't need to worry at all that he will break with Yun Qing over this, and that Yun Qing will be affected as a result.
As soon as Wen Qi and Lin Ranran left, Pei Lin felt a pang of heartache and wanted to hug them and comfort them, but Yun Qing resolutely refused to let him get close.
Pei Lin frowned, realizing that regardless of whether he was willing or not, Yun Qing stubbornly refused to take away his luck.
He had no choice but to sit two seats away from her, and said in a serious tone, "Actually, this concerns my destiny."
His tone was so serious that Yun Qing forgot about being sad and quickly looked up at him, listening attentively to what he was saying.
Pei Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The master said that my destiny is extremely noble and that I can protect those around me. My family has been protected by me, so it doesn't matter if you are one more."
Yun Qing shook her head and said, "That's different! Your family is all normal, but I'm so unlucky, like a bottomless pit that will keep sucking away your luck."
Upon hearing this, Pei Lin gleaned a crucial piece of information: Yun Qing needed to constantly bask in his auspicious energy to balance her bad luck.
Then he'll have to be careful about scheduling his time in the future, and not go too long without seeing each other.
As for the question of whether Yun Qing's constant draining of his luck will bring him bad luck...
Didn't the master say he was incredibly noble?
If you can't even afford to raise a little unlucky kid, then it just proves that your fate is nothing special.
At worst, he and Yun Qing could wrestle and bump heads together every day. If they were unlucky together, they would have company.
In any case, once he realized he had fallen for Yun Qing, he couldn't possibly ignore her.
No matter what, he still has to support his wife!
Pei Lin's mind was preoccupied with supporting a wife, but his face showed hesitation, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, "Actually..."
He paused after saying just two words, glanced at Yun Qing, and carefully said, "Don't be angry when I tell you."
Yun Qing blinked in confusion, "Go ahead and tell me, I'm not angry."
Pei Lin sighed and said, "I don't know if my fate is good or bad. Although it is said to be extremely noble, the master also said that extreme nobility is easily broken."
"Water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes when it is full. Everything should be done in moderation, for excess is as bad as deficiency."
"My destiny is the same; it's too precious, which actually shortens my lifespan."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing's eyes widened in disbelief, and she burst into tears, "What kind of lousy fate is this? How could it shorten my lifespan!"
Pei Lin said with some guilt, "Actually, I let you absorb some of my luck in order to change this fate. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this at the beginning."
"I genuinely consider you a friend; I didn't intentionally try to take advantage of you."
"It's just that my fate is special, which attracts the covetousness of some people in the metaphysical world. At first, we weren't very familiar with each other, so I could only try my best to keep it a secret."
