Chapter 427 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 4
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran were terrified. How could giving them some food turn into their last meal before they were executed?
Lin Ranran asked cautiously, "Are you sick?"
Wen Qi comforted her, "Medicine is so advanced now, you don't need to be so pessimistic."
Yun Qing shook her head, clutching the snacks, and said sadly, "I went to the hospital for a check-up today..."
Upon hearing this, the two felt a chill run down their spines. Was it really some kind of terminal illness?!
Even they felt that God was being unfair; how could He be so cruel to someone?
She's only twenty! She's always been so unlucky, she's never had a peaceful day.
Although they weren't very close to Qiao Yunqing, they were still classmates who had lived in the same dormitory for over a year. It was really hard to accept that someone who was perfectly fine suddenly had a terminal illness and was going to die.
Both of them had tears in their eyes, but after Yun Qing ate a strawberry, she continued, "It was just a very minor fracture, and the doctor said it's healing well."
The two were on tenterhooks, waiting for her follow-up, thinking that her check-up would reveal other problems.
To everyone's surprise, after taking a bite of a snack, she said, "Then I bumped into someone at the hospital, and he didn't give me any trouble. He even gave me a super sweet apple!"
Wen Qi & Lin Ranran: ? ? ?
No! Wait a minute! Is there something wrong with this?
Shouldn't the doctor be saying "but"? How did it jump to the point of bumping into someone at the hospital?
However, seeing Yun Qing's sorrowful expression, they did not interrupt her and patiently listened.
Yun Qing continued in a muffled voice, "I escaped several accidents at the hospital, and the journey back was incredibly smooth. After I got back, you even gave me strawberries and snacks."
"I've never been this lucky since I was born. This is so abnormal."
"If someone who has been chronically ill and weak suddenly becomes energetic, what do you think would happen?"
Wen Qi blurted out, "A final burst of energy before death."
After saying that, she saw Yun Qing's eyes were filled with tears, and her face showed a desperate expression of "I knew it". She quickly comforted her, "This is not the same as being sick. Maybe it's your luck turning around?"
Lin Ranran nodded and said, "Wen Qi is right. Besides, how is it considered lucky to receive some food? We've given you food before, haven't we?"
Since they were roommates, they would share their food with each other, but Qiao Yunqing never used to accept it.
Yun Qing thought about it and realized that it seemed to make sense.
Thinking about it this way, she doesn't seem to be as lucky as she thought.
She said thoughtfully, "So, it's very likely I won't die..."
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran nodded quickly, and then she said, "But they may be paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of themselves, or even become a vegetable."
Wen Qi & Lin Ranran: !!
Yun Qing ate a snack with a sorrowful and desolate expression, not knowing whether it would be better to die or to prolong her life.
Seeing her sad and upset, Wen Qi and Lin Ranran were thinking about how to comfort her.
After crunching through a bag of snacks, Yun Qing popped the last strawberry into her mouth, clapped her hands, and cheered herself up, saying, "Thank you all, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning!"
If I were still alive.
"Uh... okay."
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran looked at each other, not wanting to bring up the heavy topic again, so they simply found some more food and stuffed it into Yun Qing's hands.
She felt comforted by the thought of having something to eat.

Pei Lin received a call from his grandmother as soon as he left the hospital, asking him to go back to the old house.
He then went back first.
He initially thought it was just his grandmother missing him, but who knew that as soon as he entered the house he would see five people who looked like charlatans.
Pei Lin: ? ? ?
Could this be a special invitation to bring him back so a fortune teller can tell his fortune? Grandma knows perfectly well that he doesn't believe in these things.
When Madam Pei saw him, she quickly beckoned him over and introduced him to several masters.
Pei Lin was confused and didn't believe in any masters, but he didn't give them a hard time.
However, their attitude wasn't particularly enthusiastic; they were just polite enough.
Just after the introductions were finished, the gray-haired butler came over and said, "Gentlemen, lunch is ready. Please come to the dining room for your meal."
The butler led the masters to the restaurant, and Pei Lin then asked, "Grandma, why did you invite so many masters to our house?"
Madam Pei lowered her voice and said, "I know you don't believe in these things, but you also know that something is really wrong with your aunt's family lately. One problem after another has arisen in the family."
“Now even Yao Yao, a young man full of yang energy, has had an accident, falling and fracturing his bone for no reason. I think it’s probably because there’s something wrong with the feng shui of your aunt’s house.”
"So we found a few masters and wanted them to go to your aunt's house to take a look."
Pei Lin remained noncommittal, only asking, "So you called me back so I could take them to my aunt's house?"
Madam Pei waved her hand and said, "No, I know you're busy, and besides, don't you not believe in these things? Grandma won't force you."
"I called you back only so that you could meet those masters."
"I haven't consulted a master for many years, and I don't know if this one I found at the last minute is reliable."
"You have a sharp eye. Help Grandma take a look and kick the swindler out."
The old lady was also afraid of finding a fake master. Being cheated out of money would be the least of her worries; if he made a fool of himself and broke some taboo, things would only get worse.
Pei Lin knew that the old lady was too worried about her daughter's family, and he didn't want to spoil her mood, so he just took it as a way to comfort her.
Moreover, feng shui can be explained scientifically. Don't many people who study architecture know something about feng shui?
Having someone rearrange the feng shui can be a good way to change your mood.
Finally, Pei Lin talked with several masters, picking out those who were obviously frauds and leaving only one who looked like a true master.
Then the old lady told him to go about his business, as she was going to take the master to his aunt's house.
Seeing the old lady's hurried manner, Pei Lin frowned. Thinking about it carefully, his aunt's family had indeed been having a lot of bad luck lately.
However, she was still not as unlucky as the little girl she met at the hospital, where every step was a pitfall, and there was no peace at all.
He couldn't help but suspect that someone was secretly watching her and trying to harm her.
I wonder how she is doing now.
Similarly, he also suspected that his aunt's family might have offended someone, which was why they kept having problems.
For someone who believes in science, such skepticism is perfectly reasonable.
So he has already asked someone to help him investigate.
He went to the hospital today not only to see Jiang Yao, but also to ask if he had any enemies.
Although Jiang Yao is somewhat of a playboy, he is not a bad person at heart. He loves to have fun, but he knows how to keep his distance.
He racked his brains for a long time, but they were just minor conflicts, nothing to do with making enemies.
Pei Lin had other business at the company, so he went there first.
I went back to the old house again that night, wanting to comfort my grandmother.
However, they discovered that the old lady, who had been perfectly healthy, was now sickly and her face had turned pale.
His expression darkened slightly. "Grandma, what happened? That master..."
Madam Pei grabbed his hand, feeling the warmth from it, and her icy hand warmed up slightly, easing the tightness in her chest.
She didn't think much of it, just that seeing her grandson gave her a sense of security and made her less afraid.
"Ah Lin, your aunt's house... is haunted!"
Pei Lin: ...
He frowned and asked, "What did that master say?"
He clearly didn't believe in ghosts; instead, he suspected that the master was faking it.
It wasn't that Pei Lin was stubborn and unwilling to accept mysterious things; it was mainly because of his destiny, which was shrouded in purple aura, making it impossible for any ghosts or spirits to approach him.
He is also a person of strong will, and he will not be led by the nose by a few stories told by others.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. He never encounters such a thing, so how can you expect him to believe it?
When he was a child, some of the kids in his circle said they saw a ghost, but the other kids didn't believe him. Eventually, a group of kids, arguing and not afraid of death, ran to the place where they had seen the ghost to check it out.
Jiang Yao was both scared and curious, so she insisted on dragging Pei Lin along.
While the group of children who arrived first were terrified and ran away in a panic, Jiang Yao finally dragged the reluctant Pei Lin to their destination.
Pei Lin stood there, and then... they didn't see even a ghost!
The group of frightened children insisted that they had all seen it, that there really was a ghost.
As a result, Pei Lin used science to analyze for them the n possible scenarios in which they might see "ghosts," leaving the group of children stunned.
He finally convinced the last group of children, who were ashamed of their cowardice. When they got home, they were lucky if they didn't have nightmares or beat up the "fake ghost" three hundred times in their dreams to regain their lost face!
