Chapter 445 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 22
Pei Lin spoke with such conviction that Yun Qing was both convinced and skeptical.
But upon closer reflection, what he said doesn't seem wrong; everyone understands the principle of moderation.
Pei Lin sighed, looking relieved, and said, "Perhaps this is my fate, and there's no way to change it. It's okay if you don't want to help me; I understand."
"Besides, if you help me change my fate, you might have to bear the consequences."
"I was too selfish and only thought about myself."
He had barely finished speaking when Yun Qing grabbed his hand.
"Linlin, don't say that about yourself. You're very good. You saved my life! Besides, you made me lucky. I didn't lose out at all."
"I said I'd go through fire and water for you, isn't it just about changing fate?"
Yun Qing gripped his hand tightly, adopting a stance as if she were going to fight against the heavens, and said fiercely, "Even if it means going against the heavens and being struck by lightning, I will still make sure you live to be a hundred years old!"
Pei Lin: ...It's not that serious.
He squeezed Yun Qing's slender fingers, his face full of emotion, but his heart was filled with sorrow.
So easily fooled, so honest, always ready to go through fire and water for each other, so naive.
If she were to encounter someone with ulterior motives, she could be kidnapped in no time.
It seems he'll have to keep a closer eye on people from now on.
Pei Lin was deeply gratified that she had finally agreed to get close to him.
Who can understand his feelings when he just realized he had fallen for her and wanted to pursue her, only to find that she had run away!
Actually, he didn't want to lie to Yun Qing, but Yun Qing refused to benefit from his auspicious energy, so she would continue to have bad luck. He not only felt sorry for her suffering, but also worried that something might happen to her.
Yun Qing was actually quite cautious. Although she didn't find any loopholes in Pei Lin's words, she was still a little worried that Pei Lin was trying to fool her.
So he gestured with his little finger and said, "You can share a little bit of your luck with me first, and we'll observe the situation carefully before we talk about it."
Pei Lin immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
The purple aura around him instantly became active.
A wisp of purple mist rolled smugly toward Yun Qing, then another rolled confidently toward her, then another rolled calmly toward her, then another rolled somewhat guiltily, and then yet another rolled furtively toward her...
At this moment, Yun Qing stared at Pei Lin and said, "You promised just a little bit! If you're lying to me, it means everything you said before was unbelievable, and I'll never see you again!"
Another wisp of purple mist... and the tentative little feet shrank back, looking rather aggrieved.
After this "little bit" of purple energy flowed onto Yun Qing's body, the "hemp rope" on Yun Qing's body was almost out of space to wrap around, making it look a bit crowded.
Neither Yun Qing nor Pei Lin could see this scene.
But Pei Lin was still clear about what he was thinking.
However, he showed no sign of guilt, only a somewhat troubled expression: "But I am just an ordinary person, and I cannot control my own fortune at will."
“You said you had good luck after we first met, but I don’t feel like my luck was sucked away at all.”
"It wasn't until I learned about my destiny from the master that I started to intentionally let you absorb my luck when we met at noon today."
He met Yun Qing first, and learned about his destiny later, which can be considered proof that he truly considered Yun Qing a friend.
Instead of having ulterior motives from the start and deliberately creating chance encounters to get close to her.
He was worried that Yun Qing would overthink things, but Yun Qing didn't think that much at all.
She had an extraordinary level of trust in Pei Lin, her savior; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily fooled.
That little bit of caution stemmed from the fact that she thought he was such a good person, and she was afraid that he was just trying to make her feel guilty, or that he was doing this out of a sense of helping others, and that he was deliberately trying to fool her and share his luck with her.
Yun Qing has been unlucky since childhood, constantly struggling to survive. The fact that she has managed to grow up and get into university shows that she is not without cunning. She wouldn't be so easily fooled by anyone else.
She probably already felt he was being too enthusiastic and suspected he had ulterior motives.
Pei Lin glanced at her and said helplessly, "Actually, I don't know exactly what to do. I just wanted you to absorb my luck, but if you don't tell me, I'm not even sure if you've actually absorbed it."
At this point, it's impossible to say that as long as he's willing and they're close enough, Yun Qing can get some purple energy.
Moreover, this sense of closeness seems to be somewhat different from his previous understanding of closeness; it seems that as long as they have some contact, it's enough.
After all, he wasn't this close to Yun Qing when they first met, yet she still managed to get some purple energy.
If Yun Qing found out, she would probably immediately pull her hand back and stay far away from him to avoid touching him too much.
Pei Lin silently enveloped her hand in his palm, his tone somewhat innocent, "I was thinking of only letting you absorb a little bit, but if my luck doesn't listen and runs wild, there's nothing I can do."
So, whether it's a lie or not is none of his business; if anyone's to blame, it's his bad luck.
Purple aura: ? ? ?
If you don't want me to, why would I run around like this?
Yun Qing thought about it and realized it made sense. They were just ordinary people, not masters. Luck is invisible and intangible, so it was normal that Pei Lin couldn't control it.
She thought for a moment and said, "I think your luck might really have its own ideas."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have inexplicably absorbed Pei Lin's luck when he hadn't intended for her to do so.
Ziqi: No! I'm innocent! It was all Master's idea!
Pei Lin nodded. Yes, it has a lot of ideas.
Yun Qing, however, suddenly became clever and said, "But we should be close enough for me to absorb your luck, right?"
After all, she only got lucky after meeting Pei Lin.
That's why she wanted to avoid Pei Lin before.
"I should have absorbed some by now, that should be enough..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Lin suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, frowning and looking serious.
Yun Qing was interrupted as she was about to speak. Seeing that his expression was off, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Pei Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I just had a mysterious feeling..."
"How does it feel?"
"It seems I can live one more day."
Yun Qing: !!!
"Really?"
Pei Lin nodded, "Really!"
Yun Qing stared into his eyes, trying to see if he was lying, but Pei Lin's eyes were sincere and particularly beautiful. As Yun Qing looked at him, she was captivated.
Finally, with her strong will, she said in a daze, "Let's leave it at that for today. After the observation, if there are no problems, I will help you prolong your life."
Pei Lin held her hand tightly and said seriously, "Okay, I've already decided to stop the transmission of luck."
"Hmm." Yun Qing, who was completely bewitched, nodded and could no longer think about whether the so-called "thinking about interrupting the transmission of luck" was reliable or not.
Pei Lin looked at her dazed expression and couldn't help but smile.
When Yun Qing saw him smile, she couldn't help but smile foolishly along with him.
Pei Lin's heart softened when he saw her silly look.
He raised their hands, which had been clasped together, and pressed her palm against his face, his voice slightly seductive, "I can never repay your life-saving grace. If you like this face, you can touch it whenever you want."
Since it wasn't like she hadn't touched it before, Yun Qing didn't hold back.
She really liked Pei Lin's face; how could he be so handsome?
Pei Lin moved closer to her, so close that their eyes met and their breaths almost mingled.
He didn't get any closer, but the atmosphere was ambiguous enough.
Then, in this ambiguous atmosphere, Yun Qing muttered to herself and began to count his eyelashes very carefully.
Pei Lin: ...
I hate that you're such a blockhead!
