Chapter 4 Exclusive Release

"Wow!!! Yalin, you're so lucky!!!"

Just as Jiang Yalin had grasped the fleeting inspiration in her mind, she was brought back to reality by Li Naying's voice before she could even sort out her thoughts.

Looking down at the scratch-off lottery ticket that had won the grand prize, a smile crept onto her lips. If that's the case, then Kwon Ji-yong will have to ask for your guidance in the future.

"I guess I was just having a really bad time before, so my luck has improved a bit lately."

"Then quickly look at the other one and see if it's a winning one?"

Lee Na-young appeared even more excited than Kang Ya-rin herself. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was the one who won the lottery. Moreover, her eyes were full of excitement for Kang Ya-rin winning the grand prize, without a trace of jealousy.

Following her words, Jiang Yalin scratched off another scratch-off ticket. As expected, she didn't win. However, the fact that she had already won a big prize on one of the tickets was quite unexpected for the two of them, so they weren't disappointed that they didn't win on the second one.

With excitement, the two redeemed their prize with the lottery shop owner. Seeing that Lee Na-young was still in a state of excitement, Kang Ya-rin thought for a moment and then pulled her to a nearby video store.

"Yalin, what are you doing at the music store?"

"I'll buy you your oppa's album as a way of sharing my joy."

Seeing Li Naying's expression change from confusion to surprise and finally to excitement, Jiang Yalin's mood soared.

As expected, sharing happy things with others doubles the joy. Lee Na-young didn't hesitate and happily accepted Kang Ya-rin's kindness. Holding her idol's album, she was so happy she was completely disoriented.

After returning home, Jiang Yalin went straight to her room, sat down at her desk, closed her eyes, and began to search through the novels in her mind, carefully reading the synopsis and general settings.

So far, two novels have featured female protagonists, and her good fortune began on that rainy night when she first met Kwon Ji-yong and Kim Jin-ah.

So, the guy who owed her money for so long didn't have a change of heart; rather, her luck inexplicably improved, and everything that happened today confirms that.

So, is it because of Kwon Ji-yong that her luck became good, or because of the two female leads, or because of their simultaneous appearance?

On this point, there's a question mark. Jiang Yalin thought about other things and wondered if she was overthinking it or if it was just a coincidence. So she wanted to verify this as well.

"So I'll avoid Kwon Ji-yong and his leading ladies for the next couple of days and see if my luck will stay this good."

This discovery made her feel much lighter because of something that had been weighing on her mind. If that was the case, it would be a really good thing. As for whether it would seem absurd, no, after all, novels can become reality. She could become luckier by relying on other people's good fortune, so what was so unacceptable about that?

For the next two days, Jiang Yalin tried her best to avoid her neighbors and kept to herself, even refusing Li Naying's invitation to go out.

The conclusion drawn from these past two days is that her luck was pretty good the day before, with some good things happening around her. For example, there were always empty seats on the bus, even during rush hour. When it was raining outside, she unexpectedly found an umbrella that she had brought but forgot to take back, even though she hadn't brought one with her. Another example is that she could buy two cakes this time, even though she always had to queue up before. These little moments of good fortune in life made her feel very happy.

The next day, her luck returned to normal. There were no seats at the library, no seats on the bus, and she was told that the cakes were sold out when she queued to buy them. In fact, because of the rain the day before, some sewage had accumulated on the road, and when passing cars ran over her, it splashed onto her.

The contrast in luck between the past two days left Jiang Yalin speechless, but it also made her more certain of her initial guess.

“Anilhasay, you must be Aunt Jiang’s daughter next door. I’m your neighbor, Kim Jin-er.”

Jiang Yalin walked along, wiping the dirty water off her skirt with a tissue, still cursing the driver in her heart.

"Damn it, from now on, his sodas will be flat and his ramen will be without any seasoning..."

Just as she was cursing, she heard Jin Zhen'er's voice. Jiang Yalin looked up and saw Jin Zhen'er standing not far away, greeting her.

“Annyeonghaseyo, I am Kang Ah-rin.”

Oh wow, the female lead has arrived. If we can get lucky and that guy is doomed.

"Just got out of school?"

Jin Zhen'er was a little curious, after all, she had heard her mother say that the neighbor's daughter seemed to be a genius, who was a year younger than her and had already gone to university, while she was only a senior in high school this year.

"Yes....."

Kim Jin-ah looked at her neighbor with curiosity. In her previous life, she had no contact with her neighbor and had never even seen the daughter of this family. So this was the first time Kim Jin-ah had seen Kang Ah-rin in both her lives. She was very curious, but her curiosity about the neighbor's daughter only accounted for one ten-thousandth of her attention. All her focus was on Kwon Ji-yong.

She's been feeling incredibly frustrated lately because Kwon Ji-yong has been avoiding her for the past two days. She thought it was because she'd hurt him the other day, but then she saw him playfully interacting with another girl outside YG Entertainment today. She didn't have the courage to confront him, afraid of hearing something she didn't want to hear...

The lead actress and the second lead actress are just as impressive...

It's really hard to give a proper evaluation.

"I have things to do back home, so I'll be leaving now."

Having nothing to talk about with the female lead, Jiang Yalin took the initiative to say goodbye and opened her front door, leaving the other party with only a cold back view.

"She's such a special girl..."

As soon as Jiang Yalin entered the room, she heard Jin Zhen'er's evaluation of her through the live serialized novel, and almost tripped and fell.

What's going on? Why do these two female leads have such unique opinions about me? Could it be that I'm more attractive to them than Kwon Ji-yong?

Jiang Yalin looked at herself in the mirror in the entryway again and again, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Sure enough, she's too charming. She attracts not only boys but also many admirers of the same sex. There's no way around it; she's just that outstanding."

"Why are you muttering to yourself at the gate instead of coming in?"

Hearing the door open, but not actually hearing her daughter greet her, Jiang's mother, who was tidying up in the kitchen, came out and saw Jiang Yalin admiring herself in the mirror, and was speechless.

"Just like your father, so narcissistic."

"Oh ho, so you're saying I'm narcissistic? Well then, should a certain mother accept the things this narcissistic person buys?"

As Jiang Yalin spoke, she took out a jewelry box from her bag and held it up in her hand, waving it around in the air.

"You bought this for me?"

"Wrong! It's for mothers who don't mind their daughters' lack of respect!!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother immediately beamed with joy.

"Oh my god... Whose beautiful daughter is this? Oh, it's mine! Oh my god... She really is the best daughter in the world."

Jiang Yalin knew, of course, that this was just her being coaxed, but she was easily appeased by those two sentences. After all, she was such a kind and understanding little fairy, and she just couldn't bear to see her mother in a difficult position.

"Your daughter bought this for you. Do you like it? Is it better than what your husband bought for you?"

When she opened the jewelry box sent by Jiang Yalin, she found a beautiful necklace inside that looked very valuable. She was immediately moved to tears.

"Look at you, why did you buy such an expensive necklace? You should use that money to dress yourself up! Your mother is already an old lady..."

"Mom!!! Only such an expensive, exquisite, and beautiful necklace is worthy of my mom, Jiang Yalin's mom!!"

Jiang Yalin didn't like hearing her mother say such things at all. She felt that women of any age have the right to love beauty. It's not that older women can't dress up, but rather that older women need to dress up even more and use dressing up to please themselves.

"Mom, you still haven't told me whether the gift I bought you or the gift Dad bought you is better!!!"

"Oh dear, you brat, you're trying to compete with your father. What you and your father buy have different meanings for me."

"Ms. Bai...you really love to play both sides..."

Looking at Ms. Bai, the master of impartiality, Jiang Yalin deliberately showed her dissatisfaction and complained about her indifference towards everyone.

That evening, the necklace became the topic of conversation at the family dinner table. While wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mr. Jiang secretly glanced at his daughter.

That brat! She never even told him before buying things, catching him completely off guard. No way, I absolutely can't admit defeat, or I'll end up sleeping on the sofa because of this one day.

Jiang Yalin had no idea about her father's decision. Even if she did, she would have wholeheartedly agreed, as such behavior would only promote harmony between the couple and increase family happiness.

Back in her room, Jiang Yalin was just about to think about what happened when she met the female lead at the door, when her computer suddenly crashed. Staring at the frozen computer, she fell silent.

"It seems my increased luck has nothing to do with the first female lead. What about the second female lead? Or perhaps our male lead, Kwon Ji-yong?"

Jiang Yalin silently pondered whether to meet the second female lead or Quan Zhilong tomorrow, and then her gaze shifted to the computer that had crashed.

"Oh... I need to get my computer fixed tomorrow."
