Chapter 19: Butterfly Effect of Rebirth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Fucheng’s goodnight wish didn’t give Ying Jing sweet dreams.

Instead, it excited her all night.

The next day, Ying Zenan got up and walked to the living room to face the floor full of cardboard boxes and foam, as well as the various messy objects, not to mention the watermelon on the dining table that had a spoon stuck diagonally in its side. He fell into deep thought.

Could his house have been burglarized?

The man silently raised his phone. As he was about to call the police, a hand reached out from behind the sofa and covered the armrest.

Ying Jing’s eyes were unfocused.

“Good morning, Brother.”

Then she fell back.

Ying Zenan bent his knees towards the sofa and placed his hands on the back of the soft sofa.

“Don’t tell me you slept here all night!”

The person lying flat on the sofa grunted.

“I’m very sleepy at the moment. If you have something to report, report it. If not, withdraw from the court.”

Ying Jing glared at her. The lass! He lifted his foot and kicked the sofa in passing. “Get up and go to bed.”

Ying Jing reluctantly got up and walked toward the stairs.

Ying Zenan stopped her halfway.

Ying Jing yawned and looked at him.

“What happened?”

“It’s the 70th birthday of Ye Qingyu’s grandpa in a few days. Make time to go with me.”

Ying Jing refused without thinking.

“I’m not free. You and Dad should just go.”

“In the past, didn’t you get along quite well with Ye Qingyu? You even got him to take responsibility for your troubles. Why are you still so distant now?”

That was before. She was all grown up now. Of course, she had to avoid gossip.

“Grandpa Ye likes you so much. It’s fine if you throw a tantrum occasionally, but you have to go this time.”

Ying Zenan did not give her a chance to refuse. He picked up his things and left the house.

Ying Jing instantly woke up.

She tightened her grip on the railing.

However, this negative emotion was quickly dispelled by the joy of meeting Wen Fucheng.

Ying Jing changed into a beautiful dress.

Before leaving, she received a call from her lecturer saying that there were some problems with the information she had submitted. She hoped that Ying Jing could go over and deal with it after school started.

Since there was still sometime before dinner, the took a taxi to Hucheng University first.

The weather was a little hot, so she quickened her pace and walked toward the school building. It took her less than half an hour to verify the information. When she came out of the administrative building, she accidentally encountered Lu Zishu being bullied by a few strong sports students.

What kind of bad luck did she have to bump into Lu Zishu being bullied wherever she went?

Was this the legendary male protagonist halo?

“It’s you. You’re Lu Zishu? My girlfriend broke up with me because of you, but you still rejected her. You’re just a pretty boy. I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand a punch from me.”

… .

It was a little awkward where she was standing. If she wanted to walk, she had to pass by them.

She stood on the stairs and listened intently to their conversation.

She pricked up her gossipy little ears.

Lu Zishu’s body probably couldn’t take a beating.

Everyone knew what to do now, but the male lead of the original novel, Lu Zishu, was not afraid of danger. He had an aura that said, “You can hit me, but you definitely can’t defeat me.”

Expressionless, he said to the person in front of him, “So why don’t you take care of your girlfriend instead of letting her seduce me?”

Wow!

She was stunned.

Even though Ying Jing already knew in advance that Lu Zishu wouldn’t submit so easily, she didn’t expect him to be so unyielding.

It would be a little strange now if he was not beaten up.

As expected, the group was furious when they heard that. The leader threw a punch at Lu Zishu. Even though Lu Zishu tried to resist, he couldn’t withstand the punches and kicks of the group.

In the end, the crowd slowly dispersed after a passerby found a teacher.

When Ying Jing went down the stairs, the surroundings returned to silence, and Lu Zishu disappeared.

Just as she’d hoped. It was best not to see him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zishu, who had just finished walking down the stairs and was leaning against a pillar, suddenly stood up and looked at her with a dark gaze. Ying Jing was shocked.

“Why are you here?”

He was wounded in several places. The corners of his mouth and eyes were the worst.

There were also traces of blood seeping out.

“Why don’t you go to the hospital to get a check-up?” She swore she didn’t mean anything by it, and left without a moment’s pause.

“Ying Jing.”

Not listening, not listening.

Ying Jing quickened her pace and walked towards the school gate.

“I’m in a lot of pain. Can you get me some medication? It’s right across from the school gate. Please.”

A wave of chest tightness hit her and Ying Jing almost swayed and fell.

She walked quickly to the pharmacy and explained the situation. She bought the medication and handed it to the security guard with a smile when she returned to the school gate.

“Uncle, please pass this medication to the person sitting on the steps opposite me. Thank you.”

Ying Jing was beautiful, sweet-spoken, and well-known in school.

Back then, he had been standing beside Ying Jing during the interview.

The reporter asked her why she’d thought of science when most girls liked liberal arts.

The security guard was standing beside her when he heard the young girl’s clear and bright voice. “In order to prove to my brother who’s not very smart, that his disappointing sister can also study science.” In the end, she accidentally took home the title of top scorer. Her father was so happy that he gave everyone in the company a 10,000-dollar bonus.

As Ying Jing called him uncle, the security guard was overjoyed. He took the medication for her and went over.

Lu Zishu didn’t see Ying Jing return from waiting. When he took the medication, he was scolded by the security guard.

“Why did you make Miss Ying angry? She’s been chasing after you every day. Young man, your attitude isn’t good! I don’t think you don’t have any feelings for her! Why do you keep leaving her hanging? No matter how passionate someone’s heart is, it will turn cold if you leave it in the water for too long. Don’t wait until the end to regret it.”

Lu Zishu had a headache.

“Uncle. You’re imagining things. I have nothing to do with her.”

“What do you mean it doesn’t matter? The entire school knows that Ying Jing likes Lu Zishu.”

Really!

Then why couldn’t he see the love in Ying Jing’s eyes at all?

Or was her acting good enough to fool so many people?

Lu Zishu took the medication and was about to leave when suddenly, a few men in suits helped an old man in his sixties to him.

… .

Ying Jing remembered that Lu Zishu had yet to pay for the medication. She couldn’t take this lying down.

When she returned, she happened to see Lu Zishu being taken away by a few people.

Strictly speaking, it couldn’t be considered taking him away. Lu Zishu was obviously willing to follow them.

When the leader’s face fell into her line of sight, Ying Jing quickly walked to the other corner to hide.

It was Lu Hongsheng.

In this life, even the Lu family found Lu Zishu in advance.

When he got into the car, Lu Zishu seemed to have discovered her location and their gazes met.

Her rebirth produced a butterfly effect.

When all else no longer counted, didn’t that mean that the male lead could also change?

Lu Zishu could become a supporting role.

At the thought of this, Ying Jing’s blood began to boil.
