Chapter 7 Broken?! Someone’s Dead?!
“Really? Chen Yuan dares to mention a breakup?” A male classmate nearby spoke in a joking tone as if he had heard a funny story.
“Of course! Just yesterday, I asked him to buy a bottle of water, and out of nowhere, he suddenly wanted to break up. Right, Qiqi?” Li Ailin said animatedly while tentatively inquiring Yu Enqi.
After receiving a nod from her, she continued to criticize Chen Yuan.
The few boys around chuckled in agreement, as they all knew that in the interactions between Chen Yuan and Yu Enqi, Chen Yuan was a typical ultimate pushover; with just a glance from Yu Enqi, he would obediently comply.
At first, they thought it was cute, after all, a handsome guy and a pretty girl, but over time, as outsiders, they found it hard to watch.
Chen Yuan wasn’t just a boyfriend; he was practically a love-struck puppy…
However, even if they found it hard to watch, it didn’t concern them; whenever they went out with Yu Enqi, she usually picked up the tab, so why not enjoy the free outings?
But in the end, the one actually treating might just be some fool eager to pay the bill…
“Did he apologize to you last night, Qiqi? He came all the way here to find you today.” Li Ailin said with a hint of mockery.
“Mm.” Yu Enqi responded lightly, feeling there was nothing wrong.
Last night and this morning were no different; he was just here to ask for her forgiveness.
But this time, things were serious; it wouldn’t be that easy to forgive!
“Should we call him over?” Li Ailin leaned closer to Yu Enqi and spoke in a voice only the two could hear.
Implied meaning: should we see how he performs?
Basically, just to have Chen Yuan pay the bill…
Yu Enqi said nothing but didn’t refuse.
She kept quiet about any taboo topics; it would hurt her image as a good girl.
As her good friend, Li Ailin immediately understood, then said, “You’re just too kind. If it were my boyfriend…”
So, Li Ailin turned to the few boys discussing nearby and said, “You guys are all guys; go call Chen Yuan over. Enqi is willing to give him a chance.”
The few boys looked at each other; it was a familiar request for them to call Chen Yuan over.
In the past, whenever they went out and Yu Enqi got drunk, they would call Chen Yuan to come pick her up.
Wu Kai: “Alright, I’ll go call him.”
One of the boys with blonde hair parted in the middle said.
Then.
Yu Enqi pretended to be unfazed while the group waited across the street.
“Chen Yuan! You came to find Yu Enqi, right? Follow me.”
Wu Kai crossed the bustling street and approached Chen Yuan.
“Huh?”
Chen Yuan frowned, “Who told you I was looking for her?”
Surprised by Chen Yuan’s impatient tone, Wu Kai paused: “Aren’t you here to find Enqi? She’s over there waiting for you.”
As he spoke, Wu Kai pointed towards the direction they had just come from.
Seeing the two looking over, Yu Enqi deliberately averted her gaze to the other side, her chin slightly raised.
“Heh, I’m looking for my friend.” Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and chuckled lightly.
Upon seeing Yu Enqi and Li Ailin in the distance, he suddenly understood.
He was just trying to figure out where to go for fun and let himself be the fool paying for it.
Maybe after paying the bill, they would leave, and the next thing he’d hear would be, “You did well; I forgive you.”
As if he had given her some great favor.
And in the past, he actually thought that was cute; really…
“Uh? Then, are you not going over? Your girlfriend, Yu Enqi…” Wu Kai continued to inquire, sensing that Chen Yuan didn’t seem very eager to go?
Is this still Chen Yuan?
That’s Yu Enqi, your girlfriend!
The goddess who used to deliver meals to you every single day?
Could it be that you have a friend more important than Yu Enqi, your own girlfriend?
For a moment, he found it hard to recognize the boy before him.
“Of course, I’m not going over. Am I supposed to pay the bill? Oh right, I’ve already broken up with her, so she has nothing to do with me now.” Chen Yuan said flatly, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
At most… he was just a classmate.
“Ah… huh?” Wu Kai stood there, stunned, and before he could ask more, Chen Yuan had already walked several meters away.
When Yu Enqi turned around, she saw Chen Yuan walking away and was instantly furious.
What did Wu Kai say to make Chen Yuan leave? How could he not call Chen Yuan over?
“Why did Chen Yuan leave?”
“What did Old Wu say to him? Didn’t he tell him Yu Enqi was here?”
“That’s not right; didn’t they just look over here? Chen Yuan must have seen!”
“Uh…”
The others looked at Yu Enqi’s back, then were immediately silenced by Li Ailin’s gaze.
“Wu Kai must have said something to Chen Yuan, which is why Chen Yuan left. Maybe he’s gone to buy some apology gift since Chen Yuan did apologize this morning, right?” Li Ailin’s voice was low, but the others could hear it clearly.
In the past, Chen Yuan was always available, and suddenly one day he didn’t listen, especially in front of everyone, which made Yu Enqi lose face.
So Li Ailin directly smoothed things over.
Upon hearing Li Ailin say this, the others remembered Yu Enqi saying that Chen Yuan had already apologized, so there shouldn’t be any issues between them.
It’s possible he really went to buy some kind of gift, right?
Although their thoughts would be completely overturned after Wu Kai returned, they would only talk about it privately and wouldn’t dare say such things in front of Yu Enqi… after all, she was the one funding them…
Seeing Chen Yuan actually just turn and leave, Yu Enqi, hiding her hands in her clothes, clenched her fists and became even angrier: Chen Yuan! I gave you a way out! How dare you ignore me?!
You have never ignored me before! Just as I thought! You boys don’t love what you’ve gotten!
Fine! If you want to ignore me, then I’ll ignore you back! I’m just a dog!!
I’ll see who lowers their head first!
When that time comes, don’t come begging me!!
…
Night.
Chen Yuan went out again to search for Cu.
Chen Father and Chen Mother thought he was in a bad mood from the breakup, so they just told him to be safe and get out more.
He was still quite worried about Cu and the others coming to this world.
Not because he was concerned about their safety, but rather about the safety of others…
If something happened and someone died in this world, he wouldn’t be able to save them…
This morning, he vaguely saw Cu’s figure; her striking white hair was easily recognizable on the street.
It was truly strange; he had searched all day without finding her.
Among the group, Cu should be the most obedient and normal one.
And she was certainly the most beautiful.
To be honest, the first task he completed was Cu’s mission; then he worked on the other tasks, and the time gap was at least several years.
To say he didn’t miss them would be a lie.
Especially upon waking, he felt everything he had done was like a dream.
So he really missed them…
How could he not want to see them? After all, they were the girls he risked his life to protect; they were like his daughters!
Although it seemed strange for a 21-year-old man to say such things, the fact was undeniable; everything he had experienced could indeed qualify him as an old father.
Until late at night, Chen Yuan still hadn’t found Cu, and the streets were becoming increasingly deserted.
It seemed he wouldn’t find her today…
Just as he turned to sweep a bike home…
A huge noise accompanied by a burst of blue light erupted.
Ice Elemental Technique?!
Oh no! Someone’s dead!!!
