Chu Yang was a witch, but after the founding of the nation, she was not allowed to become refined, so she was just a little witch who ran an account called Prophecy Little Witch online every day.
She would make some prophecies from time to time and occasionally help netizens predict something, slowly accumulating tens of thousands of fans. She would occasionally accept some advertisements to earn some money to survive, but the money she earned, she would have to donate two-thirds of it, so she was still very poor.
Her wish was to earn enough money to buy materials and absorb enough energy for her family's crystal ball. The energy in her family's crystal ball passed down had become very thin. Every time she tried to predict something, it required a considerable amount of magical power.
Alas, it was all because she was poor.
That day, she just happened to be resting, so Chu Yang downloaded a novel, thinking of passing the boring time by reading it. After reading half of it, a customer contacted her online.
Chu Yang immediately put down the book and quickly replied to the customer.
Customer: Little witch, are you there? I want to know if my boyfriend is cheating on me. Money is not a problem!
Prophecy Little Witch: I'm here! Please tell me your name and date of birth.
Customer: My name is XXX, and my date of birth is X Year X Month X Day.
Prophecy Little Witch: Wait a moment~
After Chu Yang replied to the customer, she immediately took out her crystal ball, gently wiped the crystal ball clean, placed her hand on it, then concentrated her mind. After a while, the crystal ball started to glow, then some scenes appeared.
Chu Yang's forehead was covered in sweat. The energy in the crystal ball was becoming scarcer and scarcer, and she was having some difficulty with the prediction.
The scenes appeared for a few seconds, and suddenly a crack appeared on the crystal ball. Seeing this, Chu Yang's mind went blank for a moment, and then her magical power became chaotic!
Chu Yang spit blood onto the crystal ball, then collapsed on top of it and fainted. As she fainted, she thought that there seemed to be 20,000 yuan left in her bank card, so the medical expenses should be no problem.
However, after she fainted, the crystal ball suddenly lit up, and then she and the crystal ball both disappeared from the room.
...
Girl’s Dormitory Room 301, A University
Chu Yang looked at the person in the mirror, the one inside was definitely not her.
She originally had quite exotic looks because her grandmother was mixed-race, so she was also a quarter mixed. The crystal ball was passed down to her from her grandmother's mother's side. But this face was typical of a delicate beauty. If her eyes turned red, she would look exactly like a delicate beauty eliciting pity.
Chu Yang was stunned for a while and lowered her eyes. Then she went to wash her face first.
At this time, her roommates came back and even brought porridge for her. “Chu Yang, you're awake? Are you feeling better? We brought porridge for you.”
After Chu Yang wiped her face clean, she went to sit at the table. A girl with short hair handed her a spoon. “Eat up. You still need to take medicine later. I boiled some water for you.”
“Thanks.” That was all Chu Yang said as she took the spoon. The other three didn’t feel anything was amiss, thinking that Chu Yang was just not very spirited because she was sick.
Chu Yang drank the porridge with the side dishes and listened to her three roommates chat.
“So Gu Xiao and Li Qinglu are a couple now?”
“Really?”
“Really. It's all over the school forums already.”
“I didn’t expect Li Qinglu to keep it hidden so deeply.”
“I heard the two have known each other for a long time and their families are a good match too.”
“Alas, handsome boys really belong to someone else.”
Hearing the names Gu Xiao and Li Qinglu, Chu Yang was startled. Weren't those the names of the male and female leads in the novel "The Sweetheart Wife of the Campus Heartthrob" that she had just been reading?
That's right, there was also an extremely scheming female supporting character in the book named Chu Yang. Chu Yang came from a poor family and had a weak and pitiful delicate beauty look. She followed the main couple pretending to be innocent, while secretly trying to sabotage their relationship so she could take the female lead's place.
Later when her true face was exposed, she was scorned by everyone. Not only was she expelled from school, she eventually fell ill with no one to take care of her and died alone in a shabby hut. By the time she was discovered, her corpse was already rotten.
So she had transmigrated into the book and became that scheming female supporting character?
One of Chu Yang’s roommates saw her spacing out and thought that she used to admire Gu Xiao quite a bit. Now knowing that Gu Xiao was with Li Qinglu, she must be heartbroken. So they all started comforting her.
“Chu Yang, Gu Xiao already has a girlfriend. There are plenty of men out there. We know you usually like Senior Gu Xiao very much, but now that he already has a girlfriend, let's just give up.”
“That’s right. The streets are filled with men with two legs.”
“Yes, yes. And you're still sick. Eat up.”
Chu Yang nodded, agreeing with what they said without refuting anything about liking Gu Xiao. After all, the original Chu Yang did like Gu Xiao a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have kept bothering the main couple later.
However, now that she had transmigrated here, she didn’t care about any male or female leads. Chasing men was not as good as chasing money. Money was more reliable.
After that, Chu Yang continued drinking her porridge.
When she almost finished eating, Chu Yang thought that her current physical condition really wasn’t too good. She lay back down on the bed to continue resting. As for everything else, she’d think more about it after recovering.
Seeing her resting, the others were more quiet in their actions and said softly before leaving for afternoon classes, “Chu Yang, we’re going for class first. We’ll bring dinner back for you tonight. Rest well!”
Chu Yang waved to them. Her roommates were quite nice.
After her roommates left, Chu Yang continued to lie in bed and rest. She suddenly thought of her crystal ball—how could it crack open so nicely? Could it be because it was out of energy?
But whether it had energy or not seemed irrelevant now. She had transmigrated into the book world and lost her crystal ball.
Chu Yang flipped over and her foot suddenly kicked something. Hmm?
She sat up and threw the blanket aside. Ah ah ah! Her crystal ball had somehow come with her! This was her livelihood!
Chu Yang grabbed the crystal ball and sobbed. This was just too wonderful! She touched the cracks on the crystal ball and sighed. Cracked up, she wondered if it could still be used.
Chu Yang put the crystal ball aside and wondered if her magic power was still there. She placed her hand on the crystal ball and started channeling magic power into it. The crystal ball only lit up for an instant, and then that was it.
Chu Yang felt happy yet disappointed—happy that her magic power was still there; disappointed that the crystal ball was now pretty much useless. She would have to use expensive materials to mend it. And due to her previous injury, her current magic power was very weak, making predictions quite difficult.
Oh well, she should focus on recovering first.
That night when her roommates came back with dinner, Chu Yang sat there eating while listening to their chatter, quickly learning all three of their names before long.
The one with short hair was Jin Yang from the Literature Department, a cute girl. The one with wavy hair was Zhou Caicai from the Foreign Languages Department. The one wearing glasses was Qian Xin, also from the Foreign Languages Department. As for Chu Yang, she was also a first-year student in the Literature Department. The male and female leads were in different departments—the male lead Gu Xiao was in Finance while the female lead Li Qinglu was in Business Administration. Gu Xiao was currently the deputy chairperson of the Student Union, while Li Qinglu also intended to join the Student Union and fly high with Gu Xiao. As for how Chu Yang got to know the main couple, Gu Xiao was their senior while Chu Yang and Li Qinglu were in the same cohort. The two girls had even been in the same high school class.
After finishing her meal, Chu Yang asked Jin Yang who bought dinner for her, “How much was the porridge at noon and just now’s dinner? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
Jin Yang waved her hands. “No need. My treat.”
Chu Yang insisted on paying. A good roommate needed to draw clear boundaries. Chu Yang thought about the meal prices at her previous university. “Is 30 yuan enough? I’ll transfer 30 to you.”
Hearing Chu Yang say that, Jin Yang quickly said, “Where is 30 yuan needed? As you know, the meals at our school are cheap. Both meals just cost 18 yuan. The porridge at noon was just 5 yuan and dinner was 13 yuan.”
Chu Yang nodded and directly transferred the money to her from her phone. “I’ve transferred it to you, check to see if you received it.”
“Okay.”
This small act greatly improved how the other three felt about her. Although it was just some small change, one’s character could still be glimpsed from such acts. They were all new students after all and hadn't known each other for that long. Chu Yang had not hung out with them much previously either. They were merely doing their duty as roommates by taking care of her a little when she fell ill.
It felt like after she recovered from her illness, her whole demeanor seemed much better. Before, she always gave off the impression of a delicate little flower who felt bullied.
That night, Chu Yang lightly tallied up all of her current worldly possessions - 500 yuan in her bank account, 482 yuan and 90 mao in her WeChat wallet, and not a single mao in her Alipay account.
This body... was also a broke girl! Even more broke than her. At least she still had 20,000 yuan in her account. But this body was only a college freshman, her living expenses were all provided by her parents, so of course she didn't have any money.
Moreover, the female supporting character in the book originally came from an impoverished family background. Her family seemed to consist of a pair of parents and a younger brother. The parents were farmers, the younger brother was in middle school.
It looked like she would have to think of ways to earn money. Chu Yang pondered for a while before slowly falling asleep.
Chapter 2
Two days later, Chu Yang's health had completely recovered, and she went to class with Jin Yang. At lunchtime in the cafeteria, two people suddenly walked over. "Chu Yang, I heard you were sick recently? How are you feeling? Is your health better?"
Chu Yang looked up at the two. One girl had her hair in a high ponytail and wore a strappy flowered dress, looking quite youthful and pretty. The other wore a simple t-shirt and jeans, with her hair braided into two little braids.
It was the girl in the t-shirt who had just greeted her.
The current Chu Yang definitely didn't recognize them, but the original Chu Yang should have known the two girls, she just didn't know who the two were. So she nodded, "I'm much better, thanks for your concern."
Her reply surprised the two girls. Then the girl in the t-shirt pulled the girl in the flowered dress to sit next to her. "Chu Yang, you know, right? Li Qinglu and Gu Xia are truly together now. You need to be more self-aware in the future and not always follow Li Qinglu and Gu Xia around."
The girl in the flowered dress pulled at the t-shirt girl, somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry, Chu Chu, Shu Shu misunderstood you."
The t-shirt girl wanted to say more but was glared at by the flowered dress girl and could only sullenly look away.
Chu Yang looked at the two girls. She now knew who they were. The girl in the flowered dress was the female lead in the book, Li Qinglu, while the girl in the t-shirt was Li Qinglu's best friend and roommate, Lin Shushu.
Lin Shushu looked down on Chu Yang for always finding Li Qinglu and following her around. Even when Li Qinglu went out to play with Gu Xia, she would tag along as a light bulb. Who didn't know her intentions, they just hadn't poked holes in it.
Who would have such thick skin!
If it was the previous Chu Yang, she would have already put on an injured expression and then acted out what it meant for a fairy to shed tears. She would have chatted and gossiped about how she didn't previously know about the relationship between Gu Xiao and Qinglu. After all, the two of them hadn't clearly stated their relationship before. Then she would say that she didn't have many good friends and Qinglu was one of her few friends. Was it wrong to spend time with friends?
Then the kind female lead would definitely feel guilty and comfort her.
But the current Chu Yang didn't say much, she just nodded, "I see." Then she continued eating.
Lin Shushu next to her stared with wide eyes, unable to swallow her anger. She had just come over thinking Chu Yang would surely gossip and try to gain sympathy, but unexpectedly, Chu Yang was completely calm and only said "I understand."
After eating a few bites, Chu Yang noticed the two girls were still there and asked, "Anything else?"
Li Qinglu came back to her senses, "Nothing nothing, sorry, Shu Shu misunderstood you. Chu Yang, eat your meal, we'll leave first."
As they walked out of the cafeteria, Li Qinglu said to Lin Shushu, "I told you that you misunderstood Chu Yang. Gu Xiao and I were just friends before too. Chu Yang is also my friend. It's very normal for friends to spend time together."
Lin Shushu said, "But anyone can see she likes Gu Xiao! While Gu Xiao likes you!"
Li Qinglu said, "Gu Xiao is so outstanding, there are many people who like him. And Chu Yang never said she liked Gu Xiao! What if it was a misunderstanding? Come on, you guys are both my friends. In the future when you see each other, shouldn't we all get along harmoniously?"
"Fine, as long as she doesn't make trouble."
Li Qinglu sighed, "Actually, Chu Yang is a good person."
Lin Shushu said, "Only someone as kindhearted as you would think she's a good person." After saying this and seeing Li Qinglu glare at her again, she immediately surrendered, "Okay okay, if I see Chu Yang in the future I definitely won't say anything out of line."
"Good, it's a deal then."
After the two left, Chu Yang continued eating. Jin Yang next to her indignantly said, "They came here just to show off. Now who doesn't know about Li Qinglu and Gu Xiao's relationship. They specially came to flaunt it. There are so many people who like Gu Xiao, they're specifically targeting you alone. What's wrong with liking someone? This is outrageous."
Seeing Chu Yang not speaking, Jin Yang put a chicken leg on her plate, "Don't be upset, Chu Yang. Eat the chicken leg. The chicken legs in the cafeteria today are delicious."
Chu Yang smiled and said "Thank you." Anyway, she would stay away from the male and female leads in the future. After all, she didn't have the energy to deal with the people the original Chu Yang knew before.
Lately Chu Yang was worrying about money. Now the crystal ball was broken so she couldn't use it to earn money by making predictions.
However, Chu Yang first created an online account called "Fortune Telling Little Witch." Without the crystal ball, she could still use a bit of magic to make small predictions about general directions, but not details.
Chu Yang looked at the nice sunny weather outside. Okay, let's first make a prediction about tomorrow's weather.
Chu Yang released a bit of magic and gently probed the water molecules in the air...
Hm, there would be rain tomorrow, but it would be brief.
Chu Yang checked the weather forecast which actually predicted sunny weather.
But her prediction would definitely not be wrong. It was probably a sunshower that would quickly disappear.
So Chu Yang wrote the first tweet on her "Fortune Telling Little Witch" account: There will be rain in the capital city tomorrow, short and sudden. You can bring an umbrella or not. Recommend bringing one.
She had no followers on this account so no one saw it.
The next day when going out, Chu Yang brought an umbrella. Jin Yang next to her said, "Why are you bringing an umbrella? The forecast says sunny weather today with no rain."
Chu Yang blinked. "There will be rain, trust me~"
Jin Yang looked at the sun outside, very puzzled, then checked the weather on her phone again. No rain?
But Jin Yang decided to bring an umbrella too after thinking about it. Even if it didn't rain, it could block the sun. Chu Yang was so fair, she must protect herself well from the sun.
As the two girls walked on the road to the classroom building, there were many students around too, some riding bikes, some chatting in groups of three or two, some seemed to be running late.
Suddenly, a stretch of dark clouds appeared overhead while the sunshine remained. A gust of wind blew, and raindrops started pouring down heavily.
"Fuck, run!"
"Ahhh why is it suddenly raining!"
"Damn, sunshower!"
"Let's quickly run to a nearby building to take shelter!"
"Didn't the forecast say sunny today?"
Chu Yang and Jin Yang were already under an umbrella so didn't get wet at all. But Jin Yang looked at Chu Yang in shock, "Babe, how did you know it would rain?"
Chu Yang shushed her and winked, "I foresaw it! Um probably manmade rain."
Jin Yang's eyes were huge as she covered her mouth. Could Chu Yang be a big shot?
This sudden rain left everyone talking about it. In the afternoon, people finally learned it was manmade rain.
"So it turned out to be manmade rain. No wonder."
"It really hasn't rained for a while. This will relieve the drought a bit."
But Jin Yang kept glancing at Chu Yang again. Chu Yang had said earlier it was manmade rain! Jin Yang looked at Chu Yang admiringly - her roommate turned out to be a big shot! Ahhh how exciting!
In the next few days, Jin Yang would ask Chu Yang every time before going out:
"Babe, what's today's weather like?"
"Babe, will it rain today?"
"Babe, is today's weather good for going out?"
At first, Zhou Caicai and Qian Xin found it strange, "Jin Yang, why do you ask Chu Yang about the weather every day? Can't you just check on your phone?"
Jin Yang whispered, "Phones aren't as accurate as Chu Yang. Chu Yang is the heavens itself. If she says rain then it rains, if she says sun then it's sunny."
Zhou Caicai glanced sideways at her, "What Chu Chu, I didn't know you were so cheesy now."
Hearing this, goosebumps rose on Chu Yang and she said, "No no no, I'm not the heavens, I'm scared of being struck by lightning!"
Right after she said this, there was a loud rumble of thunder. Chu Yang immediately said, "I'm just a little mermaid, don't mind me, don't mind me!"
Seeing this, Jin Yang admired Chu Yang even more. "See, even the heavens responded!"
Zhou Caicai and Qian Xin looked at each other, still not quite believing it.
However, they then had no choice but to believe her, because the weather forecasts that Chu Yang gave every day were accurate. Everyone also knew that weather forecasts were not always so accurate, but Chu Yang did not fail even once - everything she said was very precise. If it rained, it rained; if it was windy, it was windy.
The three roommates asked her every day, "Sweetie, what should I bring when I go out today?"
Chu Yang: ......
Recently, Chu Yang found a part-time job at a relatively high-end restaurant as a server, getting paid 25 dollars per hour, which was not bad. When she was trying out for the job, the restaurant manager saw that she was nimble and also a student at the prestigious A University, so he decided to keep her, saying she could come over whenever she had time.
So when Chu Yang was free on weekends, she would go there to work. That day, the female protagonist Li Qinglu texted her, "Chu Yang, we're all going to the amusement park on Saturday, do you want to join us?"
Chu Yang directly rejected it, "I'm not going, I'm busy on Saturday."
"Oh, okay," Li Qinglu on the other end sounded somewhat disappointed, thinking maybe what Lin Shushu said last time made Chu Yang upset.
"Chu Yang said she can't go because she's busy," Li Qinglu said to the others.
Upon hearing that, Lin Shushu was delighted, "Since she's not going, let's not bother about her. It's her own choice not to join us. We can go ourselves."
"But..."
"No buts. At most, we can ask her again next time we go out to have fun, right?"
"Alright."
Lin Shushu breathed a sigh of relief. She really did not like Chu Yang and always felt her innocent and gentle demeanor was pretentious.
Chu Yang was not bothered at all by this incident. She did have plans - she already told the restaurant she would go there to work part-time tomorrow. It was a high-end restaurant so customers all had reservations. It was not too busy and Chu Yang felt it was manageable. During breaks, she would overhear the other servers gossiping.
"The guy at Table 18 just now was so handsome!"
"Did you get his WeChat?"
"No, I didn't dare to."
"Don't be shy. You have to take the initiative for romance to happen!"
"You know Table 11? That guy is a scumbag. I often see him coming to the restaurant for meals but he always has a different girl with him each time."
"Maybe they are just friends?"
"What friends? The kind who can hold hands and touch shoulders?"
"Hahaha, hilarious!"
Just then a customer walked in. Chu Yang quickly went over to receive them. After seating the customers, she came back and overheard the others consoling Xu Zhao, another university student working part-time like Chu Yang.
"It's alright, it's just some guy."
Xu Zhao said, "But it was so awkward. I hope he doesn't complain about me to the manager."
"That shouldn't happen. He didn't look like the petty kind."
"Yeah, so what if he didn't give you his WeChat? His loss."
Chu Yang gradually pieced together what happened - earlier the handsome guy at Table 18 was asked for his WeChat by Xu Zhao, urged on by everyone else. But he rejected her and even said he was here just to eat, hinting not to disturb him. Xu Zhao awkwardly came back and the others were comforting her.
With her friends' consolation, Xu Zhao felt much better. She suddenly saw Chu Yang standing quietly under the light. The restaurant's lighting was designed to create atmosphere.
Chu Yang just stood under the light, her perfect profile even more exquisite under the flattering light. Dressed in the restaurant uniform which instead of looking tacky, complemented her good looks.
Xu Zhao sighed, "If it were Chu Yang asking for the WeChat, she probably would've gotten it." Everyone turned to look at Chu Yang, agreeing with what Xu Zhao said.
"Chu Yang is so pretty. That guy definitely wouldn't reject her."
"What guy would reject such a beauty?"
"And I heard Chu Yang goes to the prestigious A University too. How impressive."
"Hey Chu Yang, why don't you give it a try?"
Chu Yang: ?
Of course she didn't go in the end. Why would she?
Soon a group of people walked in. Chu Yang quickly went over, "Welcome. Do you have a reservation?"
Just as Chu Yang finished speaking, a shrill voice called out, "Chu Yang, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here spying on Gu Xiao and Qinglu's whereabouts?"
Chu Yang looked up at the group. Oh, it was the male and female protagonists and their friends. And that shrill voice belonged to Lin Shushu.
Chu Yang glanced at her and continued, "Do you have a reservation?"
The others finally reacted and looked towards the guy standing in the middle. He cleared his throat, "Yes, I booked a private room."
"Please provide your phone number," Chu Yang said.
"185XXXXXX."
Chu Yang quickly handed them a bill, "Mr. Gu? Please follow our server to your private room this way." She gestured for Xu Zhao to lead them to the private room.
The others took one more look at Chu Yang before following Xu Zhao, while Li Qinglu pulled along Lin Shushu who was about to say something more.
In the private room after the server left, Lin Shushu could no longer hold it in, "How can Chu Yang be here? She can't possibly have been stalking us right?" Although nobody liked Chu Yang, such an accusation clearly did not stand. It was obvious Chu Yang was working here. And stalking them at the restaurant instead of the amusement park? While working part-time here deliberately?
Li Qinglu frowned and pulled Lin Shushu, "Shushu, don't say that. It's very clear that Chu Yang works here. She is not the kind of person who would stalk us. Don't say things like this anymore."
Seeing that the others did not agree with her, Lin Shushu who was already embarrassed quickly said, "Alright, alright, I was wrong. I was just speculating."
Soon, Chu Yang came over pushing a trolley and served everyone's food orders. Lin Shushu still could not resist asking, "Chu Yang why are you working here? And at this restaurant some more. How come you didn't tell Qinglu? And didn't we ask you out to have fun together and you didn't join us?"
Chu Yang did not answer her. She set the dishes down and merely said, "Enjoy your meal." Then she left.
Seeing Chu Yang's attitude made Lin Shushu furious, "What's with her attitude? How dare she ignore me?" The others also felt Chu Yang was out of line.
"Wasn't she sticking to us all the time previously?"
"She's probably unhappy seeing Qinglu and Gu Xiao together and that's why she's behaving like that."
"Must be. Who doesn't know about her little crush."
Li Qinglu quickly tried to placate everyone, "Chu Yang is busy with work. Let's not disturb her."
Lin Shushu retorted in dissatisfaction, "What disturbance? She's the server and we are customers! Isn't the server's job to serve customers? I should lodge a complaint about her."
Li Qinglu said, "Alright, why are you and Chu Yang at odds? You can't even keep your mouth shut over a meal."
Lin Shushu dared not say more about her immense dislike for Chu Yang. She resigned to keeping quiet and eating.
After the meal, Gu Xiao went to settle the bill and afraid that Chu Yang would cause trouble, Lin Shushu led everyone to tag along. Chu Yang took over the bill, quickly tallied up and said, "That's $2,390 in total. Will you be paying by card or Alipay/WeChat?"
Gu Xiao took out his phone, "Alipay."
Chu Yang directly scanned his code then pointed to the QR code next to it, "You can scan here if you would like an invoice." She passed the receipt to Gu Xiao, "All done. Please come again."
Lin Shushu who tagged along was peering over the counter at Chu Yang, "Chu Yang, why did you ignore me just now? And how come you never told us about working here?"
Chu Yang glanced at her and casually retorted, "Are you my mom?" If not, why would she have to report everything to them? Even her own mom doesn't know about this job.
Lin Shushu's eyes widened in shock, the words stuck in her throat. Just as she was about to hurl abuses, Li Qinglu quickly covered her mouth, "Sorry to disturb your work Chu Yang. We'll get going first. Be safe going back to campus at night."
With that, she dragged away the struggling Lin Shushu and everyone else followed them out.
On the way back, Lin Shushu was very unhappy, "What was with Chu Yang's attitude?"
Seeing how she was behaving, Li Qinglu felt it was very unreasonable, "Shushu, Chu Yang was right. She took on a job so why must she inform us? We're not her mom."
Lin Shushu argued, "Didn't she always say you were good friends before this?"
Li Qinglu was startled for a moment, "Alright, alright, Yangyang also has her own things to do. Even friends can't possibly tell you every little detail, right? Let's not talk about her. Didn't we take a lot of photos today? Let's pick a few and post them on Moments."
As soon as this was brought up, Lin Shushu's attention was immediately diverted.
On Chu Yang's side, after Li Qinglu and the others left, Xu Zhao quietly asked Chu Yang, "Do you know the customer from before?"
Chu Yang nodded, "Just a classmate."
Xu Zhao had a knowing expression. "Oh, from the same university? But that girl just now was really rude. As expected, academic qualifications and quality do not align. Also, when I brought them to the private room, that person asked me whether you only came to work today. She also said your work ability is lacking. How ridiculous. When did you come to work become her business? And how can she judge whether you are capable or not? Who does she think she is? You shouldn't hang out with her in the future."
Chu Yang nodded to indicate she understood. She didn't intend to hang out with them in the first place anyway.
At 9:30pm, Chu Yang finally got off work after standing all day. It was quite tiring. She would continue coming here the next day.
The restaurant opened at 10am. When Chu Yang first arrived, many people had already come. Xu Zhao was standing in the middle, seeming to be indignantly saying something.
Chu Yang didn't go to listen. She went straight to the backstage to change into her work clothes. When Chu Yang came out, Xu Zhao saw her and pulled her hand, chattering away, "Chu Yang, do you know or not?"
Chu Yang was confused, "Know what?"
Xu Zhao took out her phone to show her, while saying, "A pervert has appeared near the college town. Last night, a female senior was dragged into the bushes on her way back to school. She almost got assaulted, but luckily some male schoolmates heard the screams and rushed over to save her. The whole college town knows about this now."
"I heard that pervert specifically targets female college students returning late at night. Also, he waits for them by the roadside. If not for those male students who also went home late last night, I'm afraid the female senior would have died. I heard that man looked like he intended to commit murder too."
Chu Yang asked, "Has that man been caught?"
Xu Zhao shook her head. "No. I heard he escaped quickly when he heard people coming to the rescue. The police have already been informed but he hasn't been caught. So the school advised everyone not to go home late at night if possible, and to walk in groups instead of going to remote areas." Xu Zhao looked at Chu Yang's delicate features. "Chu Yang, be more careful. Don't walk through remote areas at night when going home."
Chu Yang nodded. "You too."
Xu Zhao waved her hand. "Don't worry. I don't live on campus. I live near the school."
"That's good then."
Today was busier compared to yesterday, probably because today was Sunday and there were relatively more people.
She also got off work at 9:30pm at night. Chu Yang was changing when Xu Zhao came into the changing room. Chu Yang suddenly sensed an aura of death from Xu Zhao!
What was going on? Chu Yang's expression froze. Then she pretended to casually put her hand on Xu Zhao's shoulder, "There were so many people today." After saying this, she secretly released a little magic power.
Xu Zhao also looked exhausted. "Sigh, but there's bonus pay today. This bit of suffering is still bearable."
Chu Yang closed her eyes and saw the blurry image of Xu Zhao lying in a pile of garbage, eyes wide open, body covered in filth. Rainwater washed down her face.
Chu Yang removed her hand from Xu Zhao, and her legs turned soft. She almost fell down. As expected, using the crystal ball really took a huge toll.
But Xu Zhao thought she was exhausted and quickly caught her. "Chu Yang what's wrong? Are you too tired? Sit down and rest first."
Chu Yang sat down. "I'm fine. Maybe just low blood sugar."
Xu Zhao immediately took out a chocolate from her bag. "Here, have this. I also get low blood sugar often, so I always carry some chocolate. If not chocolate, then candy. You can also keep some candy in your bag from now on."
Chu Yang accepted it, then casually asked Xu Zhao, "Didn't you say you live on campus before?"
Xu Zhao nodded. "Yes. I just moved out from the school dorms. I rented a place near school. I'm in my second year. After the first year, our school doesn't require students to live on campus anymore. It's more free and comfortable living alone."
Chu Yang's expression became serious. "Go back and stay on campus tonight."
Xu Zhao was puzzled seeing Chu Yang's solemn face. "Wha...what's wrong?"
Chu Yang told her gravely. "That previous pervert will go to your area tonight!"
Xu Zhao was shocked. There was indeed a Hua Hua Convenience Store near her place. She looked at Chu Yang in horror. So what Chu Yang said was true. She really could "see"!
Xu Zhao immediately nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll go back and stay on campus tonight."
Chu Yang "mm-hmm"-ed. "Remember to definitely go back and stay on campus. I'm leaving first."
"Okay."
After Chu Yang left, Xu Zhao changed and hurried back to school. Her roommate was surprised to see her return. "You came back to school today?"
Xu Zhao tidied her things absent-mindedly. "Oh, just came back to take a look. And we have early classes tomorrow right?"
The roommates thought that made sense and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, when the time hit 10:20pm, Chu Yang directly called 110. "Hello? Uncle policeman? I saw that recently wanted pervert in the alley next to the Hua Hua Convenience Store in XX Area."
The police mobilized very quickly. At 10:35 pm that night, the pervert was caught!
The pervert was very puzzled — he was absolutely certain he didn't give away his whereabouts. How did the police know he was there?
But he would never find out.
The next morning, Xu Zhao sat in class listening to the lecture. Her roommate suddenly said, "That pervert was finally caught! The uncle policemen are truly awesome!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhao asked, "How do you know?"
The roommate showed her the news on her phone. "Here, this morning's news. And it was in XX Area huh, wasn't that where you live Xu Zhao? Fortunately you didn't go back last night!"
Xu Zhao was shocked. She took the phone and read the news. It said that someone reported seeing the pervert last night near the Hua Hua Convenience Store in XX Area. The police went and caught him in an alley next to the convenience store!
She suddenly recalled Chu Yang's words from last night — Crouching in an alley next to a convenience store called Hua Hua.
It was true!!!
Chu Yang was truly divine! So she really could "see"!
Xu Zhao immediately screenshot the news and sent it to Chu Yang. "Chu Yang, Chu Yang! You're truly magical! Ahhh, big boss!!"
Chu Yang only replied: As long as you're safe.
