Chapter 422

But this time is fundamentally different from the last time. Last time, his misfortune had already been discovered by Mo Qianhuan, who had notified him in advance to prepare.

However, this misfortune struck suddenly and occurred without any warning.

It wasn't until he saw Mo Qianhuan's message that Wu Liang realized he had overlooked something extremely important.

That is, he cannot be sure whether this misfortune originated from him.

After all, Mo Qianhuan is not by his side right now, so she can't see whether he carries any aura of misfortune.

From the initial collapse of the clothing store's display case to the subsequent objects being thrown from high-rise buildings and various other incidents, all the misfortunes that occurred were solely his own fault, which he believed to be his responsibility.

He unilaterally believed that the source of his misfortune was himself, failing to consider that it might be due to the people around him...

But the only person I'm with today is...

Upon realizing this, Wu Liang's face turned pale. Oh no! Su Qian!!!

Damn it, how could he not have considered that it might be because of the misfortune that had befallen Su Qian?

Because he was closest to Su Qian and always acted with Su Qian, misfortunes kept happening around them.

Thinking about it now, it does seem to make sense. The angle at which the cabinet fell was just right to hit Su Qian, and the flowerpot that fell earlier also seemed to be more likely to hit Su Qian.

"Damn it, this misfortune is on Su Qian's side."

Wu Liang slammed his hand on the table with a dull thud, and hurriedly stood up from his seat, looking towards the spot where Su Qian had left.

We can't let Su Qian act alone now, if the misfortune really originated from Su Qian and hasn't disappeared yet.

That means that misfortune will still happen without her noticing.

"Su Qian!!!"

Wu Liang hurriedly ran out, calling out Su Qian's name loudly.

There was no time to care about the quiet atmosphere or the disapproving and dissatisfied looks from those around them.

What he needs to do now is to find Su Qian as soon as possible and make her stay obediently by his side and not wander off anywhere.

Before Mo Qianhuan arrived, Su Qian needed to stay by his side to ensure her safety; if she were left alone...

"Where did that woman go to fetch water?"

Wu Liang stared at Su Qian's phone on the table, muttering to himself with a gloomy expression.

This was the first time he had ever disliked a library with such a large interior space; he lost sight of Su Qian in a moment of distraction.

Everywhere you look, there are dazzling books and huge bookshelves. It's impossible to find Su Qian in this huge hall in a short time.

This is bad. What if Su Qian encounters some misfortune while she's getting water...?

"Ah!!!"

A scream rang out in the distance; it was a sound that Wu Liang knew all too well.

Su Qian is in trouble; that's the only possibility he can think of right now.

.

"I'm so sorry, I was just lost in thought and didn't see you."

Su Qian, holding a cup of hot tea, looked apologetically at the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of her.

She was distracted on her way home and that's why she didn't notice the other person coming out from around the corner.

If she hadn't been thinking about Wu Liang's situation, she wouldn't have spilled the hot tea on him.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just talking to someone else."

"That's a blind spot. It's normal that you didn't see me. It's not a big deal."

Qiao Xinying looked down at her shirt, which was soaked with tea. Hmm, her luck wasn't so good today.

It's nothing to worry about; I can just wash it off when I get back.

"Miss, should we go back and help you change your clothes? I don't think Passerby A is here either."

Following behind Qiao Xinying, Roland briefly scanned the library.

He clearly saw the guy come in earlier, but now he can't see him at all. Has the guy already left?

"Roland, it's alright. Since we're already here, I happen to have some books I'd like to buy."

Qiao Xinying shrugged, indicating that she didn't care about the water stains on her body.

It's just a little hot tea, not like dried-up milk that will go bad.

"Isn't this a little too similar...?"

Su Qian observed the girl's words and actions for a while, and was somewhat stunned when she saw the girl's silver-gray hair and cherry-pink pupils.

Although the two have different temperaments, the girl in front of them looks too much like that woman, both in appearance and manner of speaking.

Especially her eyes, which were as gentle as water yet contained a touch of charm, were almost too similar to those of Principal Qiao Ranxin.

"Excuse me, miss, do you know Principal Qiao Ranxin?"

The more she looked, the more similar they seemed. Su Qian held her hot tea and pondered for a long time before finally asking a somewhat embarrassed question.

After all, it would be somewhat impolite to ask so directly right away, but the two people looked so alike that she couldn't help but want to know the truth.

"Do you know my mother?"

Qiao Xinying was stunned when she heard the other party suddenly ask such a question.

The elegant young girl in front of me, who looks like a classical beauty, actually knows my mother?

"So that's how it is... No wonder I felt you resembled Principal Qiao..."

"I am Su Qian, the student council president of the Huihuangxing Academy. I meet your mother occasionally."

Su Qian smiled knowingly after learning that the other party was Qiao Ranxin's daughter.

No wonder she felt a strange sense of familiarity; it turned out this girl was Principal Qiao's daughter.

But when did Principal Qiao have a daughter? She'd never heard of her before.

"I am Qiao Xinying, it's nice to meet you."

Qiao Xinying smiled in surprise. She seemed to recall her mother mentioning the student council president of the Huihuangxing Academy a few times...

"Su Qian! Are you alright?!"

Just as the two were about to shake hands, Wu Liang, his face full of worry, suddenly emerged from the corner and stood in front of Qiao Xinying...

Chapter 83: The World Is Small - We Meet Again

"Su Qian! Are you alright?!"

Upon arriving, Wu Liang grabbed Su Qian's shoulders and anxiously asked her questions.

My gaze swept over her entire body, but there were no signs of injury, and there were no dangerous objects around that could endanger Su Qian's safety.

The earlier scream was probably just a scare on Su Qian's part, and she didn't actually encounter any danger as he had thought.

"Ah?"

Su Qian panicked when she saw Wu Liang suddenly grab her shoulder and press himself against her.

She stared blankly at the anxious young man in front of her with her watery eyes, his heavy breathing tickling her face.

Wu Liang held her very tightly, making it difficult for her to escape from his grasp.

Su Qian had never seen Wu Liang look so anxious before. She had only been away from Wu Liang for a short while, yet he acted as if he couldn't live without her by his side...

"Ahem, Wu Liang? Didn't I tell you to wait for me over there?"

Smelling the lotus fragrance wafting from in front of her, Su Qian looked at Wu Liang's hands, which were tightly gripping her shoulders and refusing to let go. Was this Wu Liang's possessiveness... or perhaps his concern for her...?

She coughed twice to calm her racing heart and took two steps back. Something was wrong. What was she thinking?

How could Wu Liang be a man with such thoughts? There must be some misunderstanding.

If Wu Liang were really that sensitive in matters of the heart, then Miss Shi and Han Yu would probably have been won over by him long ago, so how could he still be single?

But didn't she just say that she only came out to get him a glass of water? Why did Wu Liang suddenly come to find her?

She's not a three-year-old who would get lost here. Wu Liang is being a little too worried about her.

Hmm... but she doesn't dislike Wu Liang caring about her like this... If possible... she hopes Wu Liang can continue to go all out...

"Ah... uh... I thought you were in trouble because I heard you scream..."

Seeing Su Qian's amused yet somewhat puzzled expression, Wu Liang scratched the back of his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, nothing happened. It's better that Su Qian is alright.

Since the misfortune originated from Su Qian, he absolutely cannot let Su Qian disappear from his sight now, much less let Su Qian leave his side again.

Before he received confirmation from Mo Qianhuan, he had to keep Su Qian firmly by his side and prevent her from wandering off.

If something really unexpected were to happen, he wouldn't have the face to see Su Chengluo again...

"Hey? Isn't this guy A from the sidelines? You're Miss Su Qian's friend, right?"

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment when Wu Liang appeared, and then he realized that the young man in front of him was the passerby A who had helped him at the morning market before.

What a coincidence! It turns out that guy A and Ms. Su Qian are friends.

Moreover, judging from how worried the passerby A was about Ms. Su Qian's safety, it seems that the two have a relationship that goes beyond just ordinary friends.

If he's guessing correctly, these two people should be...

"Who are you?"

Wu Liang turned to look at Luo Lan behind him. This gentleman, dressed in a suit and looking refined, seemed somewhat familiar.

But I can't quite remember who the other person is; I can only say that I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.

"Have you forgotten? We met at the morning market a while ago, and you were the one who helped me out of that predicament."

"I have always wanted to express my gratitude to you, but I didn't have your contact information at the time, so I couldn't reach you."

"I never expected to meet you here today. It's truly a gift from heaven. By the way, Mr. Passerby A, let me introduce my young lady to you. It seems she also has feelings for you..."

Luo Lan smiled and nodded at Wu Liang, then leaned down and whispered in Qiao Xinying's ear to introduce her.

But soon, Luo Lan realized that something was wrong; things were not developing as he had expected.

"..."

Qiao Xinying stood frozen in place, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wu Liang, unable to move an inch.

Her cherry-like mouth remained open for a long time, and she stood there in a daze.

Looking at the young man in front of her, whom Luo Lan called Passerby A, Qiao Xinying felt an indescribable impulse.

She hadn't been able to find a suitable opportunity to apologize to the other party, and she had originally planned to wait until things had calmed down before doing so.

But she never expected to meet him in a place like this, and she certainly never imagined that the model young man, Passerby A, that Mr. Lan had mentioned was him...

"I remember now, you were the one who didn't have money to buy groceries that morning."

"This is nothing to worry about, there's no need to go to such lengths to express my gratitude."

Upon remembering Luo Lan, Wu Liang smiled faintly. It turned out that this person was the butler he had met at the morning market that day.

It's fortunate that the other party still remembered him. But what a small world! To run into someone in such a large Yanghai City in this way...

"Noodle..."

When Wu Liang's gaze shifted from Luo Lan to the face of the girl beside her, Wu Liang, who had been smiling, froze instantly.

Her long, silver-gray hair, cherry-pink eyes, and the light blue Western-style chiffon dress paired with creamy white knee-high stockings.

This girl... isn't this the girl he met in the park before and the one who later gave him a good scolding?

If I remember correctly, he even swore back then that he would never see that awful girl again...

But what exactly is this sudden feeling of familiarity...? He felt the same way when he first saw her... Just who is this girl who gave him such a terrible experience...?
