Metaphysical Secrets!

The snow-capped mountains are cold, and although it hasn't snowed in the past few days, the snow on the mountains remains year-round.

The peaks and the ravines are separated by only a hair's breadth, and the sky after nightfall glows with a pinkish light, with no darkness at all.

The Dome Tree stands atop the mountain. Although it appears small from a distance, compared to the sheer size of the snow-capped mountain, it makes one imagine how insignificant one would feel standing beneath it.

Shu Xiaonan and Guo Tingting haven't left yet.

Although they came for tourism, they weren't on a tour and had plenty of free time. The school also had a delayed start date due to some previous events, and students weren't allowed to return to campus until mid-March, which is only early March now.

After Zhang Gu's intentional assault and attempted murder, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to. They had to give statements at the police station and then cooperate with the police investigation into Zhang Gu's movements.

It was at this time that Shu Xiaonan and Guo Tingting learned that Zhang Gu had actually started following them from their very first travel destination—a wildly popular, trendy town.

He hadn't made a move until now, perhaps because he hadn't made up his mind or because he hadn't found a good opportunity. But today, after being spurred on by the "handsome guy" who appeared next to Shu Xiaonan, he stopped caring about anything else.

Shu Xiaonan felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this.

This is certainly not the handsome guy's fault. Even without this provocation, Zhang Gu would have acted sooner or later. With that handsome guy present, and the other party even saving her, it's no wonder.

That's incredibly skillful!

Once the investigation requiring their cooperation is nearly complete, the remaining tasks of evidence collection and detailed reporting will fall to the police.

As the victim, Shu Xiaonan firmly chose not to forgive, and Zhang Gu will face imprisonment and sentencing; it has nothing to do with them.

Several days have passed, and the two girls, who were finally relaxed, remembered that there was still something they hadn't done.

We must treat our benefactor to a meal!

Guo Tingting had already given Yu Xing's phone number to Shu Xiaonan. Seeing that it was getting dark, Shu Xiaonan thought for a moment, "I wonder if he's already left. I hope he's on a long-term vacation in the snow-capped mountains."

"Should we try contacting them?" Guo Tingting felt a little hopeful.

Shu Xiaonan made the call and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the other person was still nearby. She immediately arranged to have dinner together and exchanged names.

However, the other party said they would bring one more person.

"They're probably just friends who came out to play together," Shu Xiaonan thought without giving it much thought. She didn't subconsciously believe that the person Yu Xing was bringing was his girlfriend, because how could a girlfriend not hang the wishing plaque with Yu Xing?

A person wandering around under the wishing tree is clearly a single person.

Time passed slowly, and the two girls returned to the hotel, picked out their best clothes, put on full makeup, and excitedly headed to the agreed-upon restaurant.

Shu Xiaonan, holding her best friend's hand, couldn't hide her excitement. "Do you think he'll remember us well after such a rare and outrageous thing? He saved me! It's like something out of an idol drama!"

"You could probably see that in horror movies too," Guo Tingting muttered, then pondered, "Hmm... it was certainly memorable, but I always felt he was a bit mysterious. Not only did he detect someone's malicious intent from so far away, but he also warned me..."

"What?" Shu Xiaonan asked, puzzled.

"It's that bill. He told me to throw it away... Ugh, I don't really know what to say. Anyway, he seemed to know something about metaphysics and told me not to say it out loud."

Guo Tingting, still feeling uneasy, reminded her best friend, "Don't talk about 'word magic' so casually anymore, it's not good!"

Because of her special luck since childhood, Shu Xiaonan deeply agreed with this and learned her lesson, "Okay, I definitely won't say things carelessly in the future. I was just having so much fun on this trip that I didn't notice and spoke without thinking."

No one wants others to know about their downfall, and there were some things Shu Xiaonan had actually kept from her best friend.

Every time she talks about dating, she attracts one suitor after another, but just when she's about to fall in love with a guy, she always discovers his intolerable flaws, such as being a womanizer, controlling, arrogant, and disrespectful.

Before each gacha pull, she would mutter "good luck," which would result in a double or triple gold card in ten consecutive pulls. However, she would soon get injured due to various things, which, although not serious, would hurt a lot.

Every time she guessed the questions on a test and got a good score, she would lose something. The time she guessed all the questions correctly, she lost the necklace that her grandmother had given her before she passed away.

She kept repeating that she would find the necklace, and finally found it by the lake at school. The pebble holding the necklace was teetering on the edge; if she hadn't rushed over and grabbed it, the necklace and the pebble would have plunged into the deep lake water in the next second.

She herself only managed to avoid falling into the lake by grabbing onto a solid rock.

But that night, she fell asleep while taking a bath because she was relaxed. The water in the bathtub went from hot to cold, and when she woke up, she was shivering from the cold. After getting out, she developed a very high fever and became delirious. It was Tingting who took care of her.

After that incident, Shu Xiaonan never guessed again, preferring to leave the questions blank.

Shu Xiaonan could easily grasp the logic and connection between these events, but she was too embarrassed to tell Guo Tingting that the fever was caused by guessing the questions.

Firstly, it's too shocking, and her best friend might not believe it. Secondly... the very existence of such power is contrary to science, and she has no idea what would happen if she told anyone.

Yu Xing's appearance was an exception, which also excited Shu Xiaonan. It was the first time she had met someone who seemed to have the same unscientific abilities!

Guo Tingting had no idea what her best friend was thinking; all she knew was that she had to make a good impression that night.

Having escaped danger, reflecting on the events of that day, the handsome guy's agile skills were absolutely amazing!

If someone like that were in a relationship, they would definitely be very happy, right?

Girls this age love to fantasize and are full of longing for love.

When the two finally sat down at the restaurant and the handsome guy they had been longing for finally arrived... all their hopes and dreams were suddenly dashed.

A tall, beautiful woman appeared beside the handsome man, exuding a unique mature and aloof aura. Her smiling lips gave her a commanding presence, and she even linked arms with the handsome man.

The two little girls were restless.

Yu Xing let Qu Xuanqing hold his arm as they walked to their seats, then released her. He gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Qu Xuanqing, sat down, and introduced her, "This is my girlfriend. You don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind at all." How could Shu Xiaonan dare to mind? The other person's girlfriend had such a strong aura.

And...

To be fair, bringing your girlfriend over directly shows that you really don't have any ulterior motives towards them, which is much better than some hypocritical guys who are always looking for something better while actually having something in their bowl.

This was exactly the effect Yu Xing wanted.

He only wanted Shu Xiaonan, who had special luck, to help him out; he didn't intend to deceive her feelings. These two girls were decent people, not those ghosts who would deceive someone's feelings without feeling any remorse.

Qu Xuanqing suppressed his coldness and nodded slightly.

Guo Tingting compared the two and realized she had nothing to compare herself to, so she immediately changed her mood and focused on eating.

Oh, right, I should also express my gratitude to Yu Xing first.

The meal unfolded in an atmosphere where everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts. During the meal, Shu Xiaonan frequently saw the handsome man ask his girlfriend if she wanted to eat this or that, and the beautiful woman would always give a perfunctory reply.

Hmm.

There's something odd about the atmosphere between us.

It's not that they're not familiar with each other, it's just that they don't look like a couple.

Shu Xiaonan didn't dare to say it.

After finishing her meal, she intended to politely say goodbye, ending this special encounter during her trip. Before she could even speak, she suddenly heard the beautiful woman say, "Guo Tingting? Come with me to the supermarket to buy something."

Guo Tingting was suddenly called out and was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the handsome guy had something to say to Shu Xiaonan alone!

So, they're really going to talk about some mystical secrets now!
