Chapter Thirty-Three: [Take it away quickly!]

A few hours later, Lu Sisi’s body trembled, and she came back to herself.

During the spellcasting, she didn’t know when she had lost consciousness. She had no idea what had happened afterward.

"The spell is completed, you can now remove the bandage and move around freely.

Hmm, actually the spell was done long ago, but I saw you were sleeping so deeply and didn’t wake you up."

Lu Sisi heard Chen Yan’s voice, but it sounded weak and lacking energy.

The girl hurriedly peeled off the tape from her eyes, removed the bandage, and then took the cloth out of her mouth.

She sat up straight on the bed and saw Chen Yan leaning against the only chair in the room, looking somewhat debilitated.

It was already a bit dark outside, the lights in the room were off, and Chen Yan sat by the window, with the last rays of the sunset still touching him.

At a glance, Chen Yan’s face was pale, he was panting, and sweat covered his forehead.

As if he had just finished some hard labor?

Lu Sisi’s heart trembled.

He, he wouldn’t... have done something to me while I was passed out, right?

Lu Sisi nervously felt her clothes - they were neat and tidy.

Chen Yan saw Lu Sisi’s actions and knew what she was thinking, he glared at her irritably.

"You’re young, why are there so many strange thoughts in your mind!"

He said as he took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed it, and started drinking half of it. After catching his breath, he said to Lu Sisi, "You sit still, let me take a good look at your face."

Lu Sisi was nervous, hurriedly sat properly on the bed with both legs awkwardly placed, and simply crossed them.

Chen Yan used the Celestial Eye Qi Observation Skill to look, and immediately his heart settled!

The effect is... very good!

The dark qi of misfortune on Lu Sisi’s head had already dissipated by half.

It hadn’t completely dissipated because... her "death" time wasn’t long enough.

Creatures’ qi dissipates over time after death, it doesn’t all vanish instantly, it needs time to slowly dissipate.

And with Chen Yan’s current Tao practice, this Fake Death Technique can only deprive Lu Sisi’s six senses for up to two hours.

Depriving the ordinary five senses is fine, if longer it wouldn’t be a big problem.

But for the sixth sense, "Spiritual Sense," Chen Yan’s current ability couldn’t extend the time further.

If longer... the fake death might turn into real death.

·

Chen Yan’s expression was somewhat excited, he said seriously, "The spell’s effect is very good; according to my estimate, after two more times, your misfortune should be completely gone."

Lu Sisi’s body trembled, and she said softly, "What you said, it’s all true?"

"It’s true! After two more times... hmm, at most three times, your misfortune will be completely resolved."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Sisi. The girl, however, did not feel joy as Chen Yan expected, but slowly bowed her head.

Hmm?

Chen Yan was puzzled and walked a step closer, only to find that Lu Sisi was bowing her head silently, but tears had already flowed from her eyes.

Tear drops fell onto her hands.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, turned around, dug out a packet of tissues from his bag, and handed one to Lu Sisi. The young lady took it, clutched it tightly, and then sobbed softly.

A few minutes later, she then raised her head, her eyes red, looking at Chen Yan.

"Is it really at most two or three times?"

Chen Yan’s voice and tone were also gentle: "Yes, you go home today, come again tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and if all goes well, after the third spell, you’ll be free."

Lu Sisi was silent for a while, then she bit her lips hard and raised her head again, her eyes shining, staring at Chen Yan.

"I won’t leave!"

"Huh?"

"I said, I won’t leave." Lu Sisi’s face, which always had a frightened expression like a rabbit, was now full of determination: "I won’t leave today! I will stay here for the next two days!

I... I dare not leave! I’m afraid to go back, what if...

I’ve waited for eighteen years, I’ve waited for so many years, I..."

Chen Yan’s heart trembled!

Looking at Lu Sisi’s determined eyes, Chen Yan slowly began to understand...

After all, eighteen years.

Eighteen full years, every day and night, every moment, living in fear, treading on thin ice, feeling the cold warmth of human relationships, lonely.

Eighteen years!

Now seeing a glimmer of hope, how could she not want to hold onto it tightly, not letting go even for a second?

— This feeling is easy to understand.

It’s like your beloved family member is undergoing surgery, a major surgery, which will take five or six hours.

You definitely wouldn’t say, oh, still five or six hours, I’ll go to an Internet cafe for a while first.

Anyone with any sense would never do such a thing.

Even knowing waiting outside the operating room is pointless.

But, you would still wait uneasily, not wanting to leave for a single moment!

·

Not leaving... then don’t leave.

Chen Yan’s heart softened.

Originally, he planned to go home and sleep well in his luxury villa.

Now it seems that if he left, this young lady wouldn’t have a moment of peace.

He looked at the time; it was almost five in the afternoon.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment: "Are you hungry?"

"Huh? Hmm... not really." Lu Sisi blushed a bit.

Chen Yan thought about it, this place isn’t far from the school, and it’s been a while since he last had school meals.

To be honest, Chen Yan attended that university for four years, the school was average, but the cafeteria had a few dishes that were genuinely good and reasonably priced.

Chen Yan picked up his phone and dialed Xiaozhao.

The phone was quickly answered, and Xiaozhao’s voice was enthusiastic: "Bro, you need something?"

"Hmm, are you at school?" Chen Yan asked.

"I am, I am." Xiaozhao seemed to be in a noisy environment and quickly said: "Bro, wait a moment; I’m leading people doing some work."

"What are you up to today?"

On the other side, Xiaozhao whispered: "Some dumb rich second-generation kid got obsessed with a famous green tea from our foreign language department. He hired people to set up a romantic scene under the dormitory, and I’m managing the setup with flowers and candles.

Also, gathering twenty people to act as the audience. I picked a few who went with me to Hengdian, and they will pretend to be jealous and excited, you know.

This job pays well, better than pretending to queue at a milk tea shop."

Xiaozhao’s mood seemed very good—after all, earning money is indeed a happy matter.

"Have one of your guys come over, deliver something for me. I’ll pay the delivery fee separately; same rate as usual."

Xiaozhao laughed: "Sure bro, no problem. I’ve got plenty of people."

Xiaozhao didn’t mention not needing any money—he understood Chen Yan’s disposition, who disliked owing favors.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said: "Have someone go to our school cafeteria. Get me a serving of braised pork ribs, a serving of braised pork, and a serving of soy eggplant. And add two boxes of rice. I’ll send you a location; let them deliver it directly."

He paused: "And if possible, stop by a supermarket and buy a box of mineral water and a box of instant noodles. Any flavor for the noodles is fine, just not spicy."

Xiaozhao repeated Chen Yan’s request and then cheerfully hung up.

Chen Yan and Lu Sisi sat inside the room. As Lu Sisi calmed down a bit, she became embarrassed again, jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, fidgeted for a while, then grabbed a broom from the corner.

"Stop!" Chen Yan quickly protested.

"I saw your place has some dust..."

Chen Yan sighed: "I understand your intention, wanting to help with something. I’m not being polite with you. But I’ve told you, this house isn’t mine; it’s a short-term rental.

Short-term rental, get it? Just renting it for a few days.

I mean, when the task is done in a couple of days, I’ll leave here.

Even if you clean it thoroughly, it’s still someone else’s house."

Lu Sisi bit her lips but stubbornly said softly: "Even if that’s the case, it’s still a few days. While you’re here, it’ll be more comfortable if it’s clean."

Then the girl started sweeping the floor with the broom and fetched a basin of water from the restroom. Without knowing where she found the cloth, she earnestly began cleaning the room.

During winter, the tap water was freezing. Her hands soaked in the basin were visibly turning red; Chen Yan wanted to stop her but was refused stubbornly by Lu Sisi two or three times, so he simply remained silent.

A while later, around five-thirty, there was a shout from outside.

"Senior Brother Chen, are you here?"

Chen Yan got up and went out to see a chubby guy riding a bicycle around, seemingly unable to find the place.

"Here, here!" Chen Yan waved.

The chubby guy cycled over and stopped in front of Chen Yan, his face full of smiles: "Senior Brother Chen, right? President Zhao sent me to deliver these!"

Chen Yan glanced at him; the chubby guy looked very ordinary and plainly dressed, probably a poor student.

Indeed, if he were a wealthy student, why would he be out delivering in this cold weather?

In the basket in front of the bike was a big plastic bag with the food Chen Yan ordered.

On the rear seat, two boxes tied with strings—one box of mineral water and one box of instant noodles—the noodles were pork bone broth flavor.

Chen Yan helped bring the items into the room and paid the fat kid via smartphone scan.

Besides the cost of buying things, Chen Yan paid him a fifty-yuan delivery fee.

The fat kid glanced at Lu Sisi sitting on the bed and said nothing, then pulled Chen Yan aside and took something out from his pocket.

"Senior Brother Chen, President Zhao told me before I came.

He said you ordered two servings, so there might be a situation.

He instructed me to buy something.

If I came and saw you with some buddies, I would leave a pack of cigarettes.

If you were with a girl... he told me to give you this."

The fat kid handed Chen Yan a box.

Mr. Chen the Benefactor looked down.

TT, and extra thin too.

Chen Yan was stunned. Xiaozhao... using all his wits on this kind of thing!

As he was dazed, suddenly the door opened, and Lu Sisi stepped out, head down: "Chen Yan, I..."

Then froze.

The girl’s eyes were staring straight at the box in Chen Yan’s hand.

Whoosh!

Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly retreated!

Chen Yan: "..."

He raised his head, his face sullen, and shoved the box back to the fat kid.

"Take it back and let Xiaozhao keep it for himself!!"

The fat kid blinked: "Bro? Don’t you need it?"

"Take it away quickly!"

Silently adding:... before I regret it.
