Chapter 26 [Mr. Chen the Benefactor]
The two people came out of the emergency room, each with a piece of gauze on their forehead, and each holding a plastic bag containing medical records and medication.
There was no need to worry about mixing up the medical records and medications because, apart from the names, the symptoms, injuries, and prescriptions were exactly the same.
They didn’t go far and found a coffee shop in the hospital’s commercial area to sit down.
This is the advantage of a private hospital, high commercialization. Under the outpatient building, there is a floor of commercial shops. Convenience stores, small supermarkets, coffee shops, dessert and pastry shops, all sorts of options.
There were hardly any people in the coffee shop. Chen Yan ordered a cup of hot cocoa for himself and also got one for Lu Sisi.
After sitting down, Chen Yan looked at the anxious Lu Sisi and first used the Celestial Eye Qi Observation Skill to check her.
Sure enough, a cloud of black air was swirling around her, seemingly endless.
But maybe because she just went through another ordeal, the black air seemed to be missing a corner – that missing corner was continuously regenerating new black air to recondense.
The little girl looked somewhat out of it, and Chen Yan lightly coughed: "You just said you... have always been unlucky? You’ve been unlucky since you were a child?"
It was better left unsaid. As soon as it was mentioned, Lu Sisi’s eyes turned red again.
Chen Yan immediately slapped a tissue on the girl’s eyes and said fiercely and quickly: "Don’t cry! If you attract the hospital security, they’ll think I’m some kind of pervert! Speak properly!"
Lu Sisi said in a tearful voice, "But I really have been unlucky since I was a child..."

Next, Lu Sisi began to tell her life story.
After listening, Chen Yan couldn’t help but think... how to put it...
If described in a literary way, it would be called a life of misfortune.
From Chen Yan’s own perspective...
This girl might have been a jinx in her past life!
·
Lu Sisi had been sickly since childhood. When she was five, she had a bout of pneumonia that nearly took her life.
From childhood to adulthood, she constantly had minor illnesses. Colds, fevers, and the like happened to her far more frequently than to others.
Additionally, she frequently got injured.
At school, she would get hit by a ball during physical education for no reason or fall while running.
She got hit by bicycles, motorbikes, and cars while walking.
Even when she was extremely cautious while crossing the street, looking both ways and checking the traffic lights to ensure safety before stepping forward...
Then, she would step into a manhole cover!
Even at home, sitting and watching TV, a lamp could fall on her head.
New clothes she bought would get ruined from various accidents after just one or two wears.
New phones she bought would always get lost or broken.
The neighbor’s dog, which was friendly and obedient to everyone...
Would see her and take a bite!
The pocket money her family gave her, she would lose it five times out of ten.
—— Just like this, Lu Sisi grew up struggling, learning to live carefully in the face of all kinds of adversities.
This gave her the temperament she has today: like a rabbit cautiously emerging from its den to forage while surrounded by predators.
She never wore new clothes, always buying second-hand ones.
She also always bought second-hand phones.
She avoided any cats or dogs – though she actually really liked adorable puppies.
She often got sick or injured, and over time, she learned to carry various essential medicines in her backpack.
Things like anti-inflammatory drugs, fever reducers, iodine, alcohol, Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, and instant heart-relief pills!
She even self-studied the Heimlich maneuver for single-person rescue!
To ensure that if she ever choked on a piece of food, she could save herself – this had happened several times!
Thus, eighteen-year-old Lu Sisi slowly endured all of this.
However...
The most heartbreaking thing was the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
From her youth, she discovered something: her bad luck was contagious.
Anyone who got close to her, or formed a good relationship with her, or interacted with her more frequently...
Would also start to suffer from bad luck, facing illness, disaster, and accidents.
Over time, the people around her noticed something was wrong, and so she became the "misfortune star" everyone avoided.
No peers wanted to be her friend. Naturally, she had no best friends.
Any boys she knew also avoided her, and no boy ever expressed any affection towards her.
From childhood to adulthood, this girl who carefully and humbly tried to live also had to endure seemingly endless loneliness!
In the end, she didn’t dare to initiate any friendships, and her personality became increasingly timid and fearful.
As a college freshman, coming to a new school surrounded by new classmates, people her age were joyfully embracing youth, making all kinds of new friends at school.
But she could only isolate herself, staying away from the crowd, carefully avoiding any approach from others.
It was the same with outsiders and with her family.
Lu Sisi came from a special family.
Her mother was a local from Jinling Prefecture, while her father was from Port City.
Many years ago, Lu Sisi’s father came to Jinling Prefecture to expand the family business and met Lu Sisi’s mother. They fell in love, got married, and had Lu Sisi.
Her parents got along well and treated Lu Sisi well initially, but over time, Lu Sisi’s various streaks of bad luck began to entangle her and her family...
