Dog Shit Luck

Friendly reminder: Your flight departs in 30 minutes. It is recommended that you proceed to the boarding gate now.

Just as the narration ended, an announcement rang out in the waiting lounge as well.

After going through the familiar process, Guo Yuan took his seat on the plane.

Airplanes are the safest means of transportation. The chance of an accident is only one in three million. You are not that lucky one. Your flight will land safely in three and a half hours. You can take a short nap.

Guo Yuan's mouth twitched at that. Who the hell wanted to be that lucky one?

Besides, could something like that even be called lucky?

Guo Yuan casually picked up a magazine and flipped through the little stories inside to pass the boring flight.

As he read, his eyelids began to droop, and he soon drifted off to sleep.

When Guo Yuan opened his eyes again, the plane had already landed. The passengers had gathered their belongings and were preparing to disembark, so Guo Yuan quickly slung his backpack over his shoulders as well.

Once the cabin door opened, Guo Yuan got off the plane with the crowd.

After leaving the airport, Guo Yuan hailed a taxi and headed back to his little home.

While still in the taxi, Guo Yuan remotely used his phone to turn on the lights in his apartment, fill the bathtub with hot water, and activate its temperature-control function, thinking he could enjoy a nice hot bath once he got home.

But plans never kept up with changes. There was actually a traffic jam less than a kilometer from his home!

Since it was only a short walk away anyway, Guo Yuan decided to walk the rest of the way. He paid the fare, shouldered his backpack, and got out of the car.

Another friendly reminder: Please proceed along the right side of the road. Pay special attention at the turn ahead.

Pay special attention at the corner? Guo Yuan looked ahead. The next turn was about two hundred meters away.

Guo Yuan hesitated for a moment, then started walking forward anyway.

When he reached the turn, Guo Yuan deliberately slowed down.

"Squish~" The instant Guo Yuan rounded the corner, he felt as though he had stepped on something. He looked down, and his face instantly darkened.

"Fuck, so that's what I was supposed to watch out for!"

Third friendly reminder: If you step in dog shit, dog-shit luck will come your way!

Guo Yuan rolled his eyes and quietly moved aside to clean his shoe.

After finally getting his shoe clean, Guo Yuan immediately got up and jogged away from that cursed place.

Guo Yuan lived in Building 6, Unit 1, Apartment 1202. As soon as he entered the building, the elevator doors happened to open. Guo Yuan rushed over in a few quick strides and slipped into the elevator just before the doors closed.

Inside stood a woman with no makeup on, her long hair casually tied into a ponytail. She wore a fitted gray tracksuit and a pair of white canvas shoes.

Though the woman was dressed somewhat carelessly, one look at her delicate features, curvy figure, and eye-catching long legs made Guo Yuan silently give her a score of ninety.

Men were generally very devoted. From beginning to end, they only liked young, beautiful women, and Guo Yuan was no exception. After all, everyone loved beauty!

While Guo Yuan was admiring the beauty before him, the elevator stopped. He glanced at the floor display and discovered that it was the twelfth floor.

Guo Yuan froze for a moment before stepping out of the elevator. The woman inside frowned at this, but she said nothing and followed him out.

One after the other, they arrived at the doors of Apartments 1201 and 1202.

When the woman saw Guo Yuan take out his key and enter Apartment 1202, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

When she had seen Guo Yuan enter the elevator without pressing a floor button, she had thought he had some ill intentions toward her and had forgotten to press it because of that. Now, it seemed she had been overthinking things.

A loss may turn out to be a blessing. Because cleaning the dog shit you stepped in delayed your return home, you were given the chance to encounter a beautiful woman.

Hearing the narration, Guo Yuan could not help rolling his eyes. He would rather not have had an encounter like this.

Then Guo Yuan tossed his backpack onto the sofa, rushed into the bathroom, and enjoyed a comfortable hot bath.

After his bath, Guo Yuan lay on the bed. The events of the day had left him with a strong sense of unreality.

He had gained a cheat ability just from eating a mushroom hotpot? That was way too ridiculous, wasn't it? He wondered whether the narration would still be there when he woke up tomorrow.

With a hint of worry, Guo Yuan gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Guo Yuan groggily opened his eyes, and the narrator's voice immediately rang out in his mind:

Today is Thursday, August 11, 2022. Clear weather. Low of 23°, high of 37.4°, current feels-like temperature of 28°. Today's lucky color is blue, and your lucky direction is east.

Hearing the voice in his head, Guo Yuan instantly woke up.

The narration was still there! That was great!

Guo Yuan got out of bed, washed up quickly, and casually made himself a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.

After breakfast, Guo Yuan opened his email as usual.

There were no new messages from Lawyer Hu.

"Still no news? Good thing I went to that Spring City signing event. At least this trip covered my food, living expenses, and mortgage for this month and next. I wonder when the royalties for White Night Walk will come in," Guo Yuan muttered to himself.

Based on the practice over in that island country of settling accounts once every quarter, he would receive the royalties for White Night Walk in October.

"October? That's not too bad! I'll have a little more money on hand by then," Guo Yuan muttered.

After a simple breakfast, Guo Yuan pushed open the door and headed out. He was planning to make a trip to the supermarket for supplies.

But what Guo Yuan had not expected was that the moment he stepped outside, he ran into the woman from last night.

The woman's expression looked a little unnatural when she saw Guo Yuan.

Guo Yuan, however, calmly greeted her. "Hi! We meet again."

The woman nodded. One after the other, they entered the elevator.

This time, Guo Yuan took the initiative to press the button, then casually glanced at the woman.

Today, she wore a dignified black fitted long dress, which made her graceful figure seem even more alluring.

Her shoulder-length black hair had a slight wave to it and fell casually over her shoulders.

Her features were striking. Even with only light makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful. From head to toe, she exuded the aura of a mature woman.

At that moment, only one phrase came to Guo Yuan's mind to describe the woman before him—perfect mature older woman.

The woman before him embodied the charm of a mature woman.

For an instant, Guo Yuan felt as though he had formed a spiritual connection with Chancellor Cao.

"Ahem, sir, when did you move into 1202?" the woman asked after clearing her throat.

"I moved in about half a year ago. What about you?" Guo Yuan asked in return.

"I moved in last week," the woman replied. "Oh, right, let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yumo." With that, she extended her hand to Guo Yuan.

Seeing this, Guo Yuan also reached out and shook her hand, then immediately let go and introduced himself. "My name is Guo Yuan."
