Chapter 317: Chapter 5 Lan Ying

Yueyin yawned subconsciously as she entered the metro.

She had not slept well the night before, constantly thinking about the red balloon incident.

Now, looking around, Yueyin felt as if everyone could be part of a prank show’s crew, possibly with hidden cameras pointed at her?

If she really went and made a child cry, it might be captured and shared online; she could become "famous" that way, which she didn’t want.

Although the flat she rented was close to her internship, it was much further from school, over ten stops away.

So, Yueyin closed her eyes, leaning her head back, trying to rest for a while.

She had indeed not slept well and it did not take long after closing her eyes for them to become as heavy as iron, and soon she was completely asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard a voice in her groggy half-sleep.

"Less than three days to go. Don’t forget."

Hearing this voice made Yueyin shudder and abruptly open her eyes.

Who had just spoken?

"I know, two more days."

It was then she noticed that there were two people sitting on a nearby seat, who appeared to be father and daughter.

"You must do well on your test in two days," said the man, who looked like the father, "not like last time."

Yueyin sighed with relief.

It seemed she was being a bit too sensitive; there was nothing to it.

Rubbing her eyes, she noticed that there were only three stops left to school.

Then, the metro doors opened, and she saw a man accompanied by three children come to stand next to her.

Seeing the child who sat next to her, Yueyin froze.

This...

The metro continued on its way.

The child opened his backpack, took out a piece of chocolate, unwrapped it, and bit off a big chunk.

"Who gave you that chocolate?" the man hastily asked, "Was it your mom? Haven’t I told you your teeth are almost rotten, and you’re still eating chocolate?"

The child promptly replied, "I want to eat it! If it’s a big deal, I’ll just brush my teeth at night!"

"Do you brush them well?"

Watching the child with the chocolate, Yueyin knew her stop was approaching.

Suddenly, an idea came to her.

If, when her stop arrived...

She knocked the chocolate out of the child’s hand onto the floor and ran out before the metro doors closed... the child might start crying...

The lipstick set worth over ten thousand... could then become hers...

No, that’s wrong!

Yueyin then thought, what if the program crew purposely brought in this child? Was it a deliberate attempt to provoke her?

The more Yueyin thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

No, no... after three days, she’d just return the lipstick to the crew.

Finally, only one last stop remained to school.

However, the child was eating the chocolate exceedingly slowly and still hadn’t finished it.

Just as they were about to arrive at the station, Yueyin heard a voice: "What are you hesitating for? Go for it! This is your last chance!"

Startled by these words, Yueyin jumped.

The crew member?

She immediately looked to the side and saw a chubby man with a mobile phone!

Yueyin said to the chubby man straight away, "It’s you, right? I’ll give the lipstick back to you! Stop following me!"

The chubby man looked at Yueyin in confusion and asked, "What... what do you mean?"

"Weren’t you just talking to me? What’s this about acting now and last chances..."

"Are you crazy? I’m in the middle of a team match! That was our team chat just now!"

Yueyin took a closer look and, sure enough, the chubby man’s phone screen displayed the "Beast Spirit Continent" game and the Black Abyss dungeon scene.

"Ah, sorry, I got it wrong!"

But Yueyin felt increasingly that something was off; how come one strange coincidence followed another?

Having arrived at her station, Yueyin disembarked from the metro, exited the station quickly, and walked towards the university.

The football match would be taking place on the school’s soccer field starting at three in the afternoon.

Yueyin arrived so early mainly because she wanted to see him.

Rushing to the girls’ dormitory, she quickly ran upstairs.

"Xishi?"

She opened the door and saw her friend Peipei lying in bed playing a game.

"Zhaojun?" Peipei saw Yueyin enter, immediately sat up, and said, "You’re early. I thought you wouldn’t come until the afternoon."

"Yeah, I... I wanted to see you. Anyway, Xishi, you rarely go home on weekends."

She had met Peipei in their senior year of high school; Peipei always had much better grades than hers, so she had never imagined they would end up at the same university, even sharing a dorm room!

"It’s great you’re here, Zhaojun, want to join for a game?"

"Um, Xishi, I’m not in the mood to play games right now."

"No "King’s Glory"? We could play something else; there’s a new mobile game that just came out..."

"Um, Xishi, do you remember the question I asked you yesterday?"

"About the wish-fulfilling thing?" Peipei thought for a moment and said, "Why do you ask?"

"I... I want to phrase it differently. Let’s say someone offers to fulfill a wish for you, but you have to pay a price..."

"That sounds fair!" Peipei immediately said, "Ever seen "Faust" or "Constantine"? There’s no such thing as getting your wish granted for no reason in this world."

"Yes, but what if the cost isn’t that high?"

Yueyin had started to ponder a question.

If the crew came looking for her after three days to take the lipstick, would it all be over then?
