THIS WITCH TRANSMIGRATED INTO THE ROMANTIC NOVEL'S SUPPORTING ROLE

Chapter 5

The next day, Yan Xu had already forgotten about yesterday's scolding. He slept at home until noon, then lazily went out to get something to eat. He didn't drive, as there were good restaurants near his home.

Not long after he went out, the sky suddenly darkened. Two minutes later, the wind started blowing, and it was blowing harder and harder. With a "clang", an advertising signboard was blown down and nearly hit Yan Xu. The signboard fell right in front of him - if he had walked a little faster, he would have been hit!

Yan Xu stood there in a daze until the people from the shops came out and asked if he was okay before he came to his senses.

Feeling his chest and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he said, "I'm...I'm fine."

Seeing that he was unharmed, the shop owner also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up at the sky, he said, "Why did it suddenly get so windy?"

Windy?

Yan Xu looked at the street where many things had been blown away from their original places. Some trash bags were blown high into the sky, and some sheet metal was blown around making "dang dang" sounds. Many pedestrians on the street were running to get indoors, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing so hard that it was difficult to keep your eyes open.

Yan Xu suddenly remembered what the "Prophecy Little Witch" had said yesterday: there would be wind in the North City at noon.

And right now was noon! It really was windy!

Yan Xu's eyes widened in realization. So...what that blogger said was true!

As the wind grew stronger, Yan Xu didn't dare stay outdoors. He didn't even want to eat anymore, and went straight home.

As soon as he got home, Yan Xu logged into Weibo on his phone, then found yesterday's post from that account and read through it again: Tomorrow there will be strong winds in the North City, and starting at 9pm tomorrow night it will begin raining in the West City.

The North City had indeed experienced strong winds. Now to see if it would start raining in the West City at 9 o'clock tonight.

Yan Xu wanted to comment, but then remembered he had been blocked. He immediately created a small account to follow the "Prophecy Little Witch." He would continue to observe - if every prophecy from this account came true, he would definitely apologize to her!

Not long after he followed her, she posted today's weather forecast: Tomorrow will be sunny in the city, with clear skies.

Yan Xu immediately liked the post with his alt account.

On Chu Yang's side, she took out her crystal ball and started polishing it. She needed to find some time to look for materials and figure out around how much money she would need. She still wanted to get her crystal ball repaired as soon as possible.

This was Jin Yang and the others' first time seeing Chu Yang's crystal ball. Their eyes shone brightly as they looked at it, but no one reached out to touch it. "Chu Yang, is this your magic treasure?"

Chu Yang smiled. "It's not a magic treasure, just something I use to make a living. But it's having some issues right now. I'll have to wait until I can get it repaired before I can use it again."

Of course they could see the cracks in the crystal ball, but the cracks didn't diminish its beauty at all. "How do you repair it?"

Chu Yang: "I need to buy materials."

Zhou Caicai: "Is it because you don't have enough money? Do you want us to lend you some? No rush to pay it back." Jin Yang and Qian Xin also offered to lend money.

Chu Yang shook her head. She could tell that of the four roommates, she was the poorest. But the other three weren't very wealthy either, just ordinary middle-class families. Even if they lent her all their money it wouldn't be enough.

"It's fine, there's no rush. Plus the materials are hard to find and probably expensive. I can earn the money myself, you've seen what I can do."

Of course Jin Yang and the others knew of Chu Yang's abilities. They just wanted to help a bit, but since Chu Yang didn't need help, the girls didn't insist.

The four were happily chatting about other things when there was a knock at the door. Li Qinglu and Lin Shushu came in, and the other four immediately fell silent, smiles disappearing. Jin Yang and the others glanced at each other then returned to their seats.

Chu Yang looked at Li Qinglu expressionlessly. "What is it?"

Li Qinglu felt a little uncomfortable inside. They had been chatting so happily just now, so why did everyone go silent as soon as she arrived? But she didn't say anything, pretending not to notice, and asked Chu Yang, "Yangyang, we're going shopping today, do you want to come with us?"

Of course Chu Yang directly refused. "I won't go, you guys have fun."

Li Qinglu wanted to say more - in the past whenever she had come looking for her, Chu Yang would always go with her. Why was she being so...

But Lin Shushu couldn't hold back any longer. "I already told you there's no point asking her. If she wanted to go she would have come looking for us already." Then she saw the crystal ball in Chu Yang's hands, so bright and beautiful but it seemed to have some cracks.

"Chu Yang, is that a crystal ball in your hands? How come I've never seen it before?" She started to reach out to touch it.

Touch her crystal ball? Chu Yang's gaze sharpened. Clutching the crystal ball, she spun around to face Lin Shushu. "Hasn't anyone ever told you not to touch other people's belongings without permission?"

Lin Shushu stopped short, her face ugly. "Who wants to touch your stuff!" But her eyes were still fixed on the crystal ball in Chu Yang's arms.

Li Qinglu quickly pulled her back. "I'm sorry, Shushu didn't mean anything bad. Since you don't want to go, we'll head out first. If you ever feel like going shopping with us in the future, feel free to come find us."

With that, she pulled Lin Shushu out.

After the two left Chu Yang's dorm room, Li Qinglu was still feeling down. She mumbled to herself, "Is it because I'm with Gu Xiao now that Yangyang doesn't want to hang out with me anymore? She hasn't come looking for me in so long." In the past, Chu Yang used to come find her all the time, and would even frequently help her with this and that.

Lin Shushu rolled her eyes. "It has nothing to do with you, Chu Yang is just petty. I told you, she just looks down on you dating Gu Xiao. Let's not bother with her, leave Chu Yang be. I'm sure she resents you."

Li Qinglu sighed. She still felt like Chu Yang wasn't that kind of person, but since Chu Yang had declined to go, then forget it.

Once those two left, Chu Yang carefully continued polishing her crystal ball. When she was done she didn't feel reassured, so she cleared out the top shelf of her wardrobe to store the crystal ball, making sure to lock it - just in case some ill-mannered people tried to touch her crystal ball.

Her roommates were still very cute. Even though they had also thought her crystal ball was beautiful earlier, not one of them had said they wanted to go touch it. Yet Lin Shushu didn't even ask before trying to reach out!

On the other side, Yan Xu finally waited until nightfall. As soon as it passed 9pm, he immediately called his friend who lived in the West City. "Is it raining over there?"

His friend sounded quite surprised. "Huh? How'd you know? It just suddenly started pouring, even though the morning forecast didn't say anything. They just updated saying it'll rain until midnight! Or are you over here in the North City?"

Yan Xu: "No, I'm not. Just asking, I was thinking of coming over to visit but heard it was raining."

"Oh I see. Come over next time and I'll host a get-together."

"Sounds good!"

After hanging up, Yan Xu was now 99% convinced that the blogger "Prophecy Little Witch" was the real deal!

However, Yan Xu didn't apologize to Chu Yang right away. He felt he should keep observing, just in case it was a coincidence, right? How could someone really be like a wind god or thunder goddess?
