Chapter 1 I thought it was an illusion, but it was actually the beginning of the story
From that day on, Jiang Jiu felt that the surroundings suddenly became weird. For example, today, she fell flat on her face for no apparent reason and landed right in Fo Jiang's arms.
"...I'm not throwing myself into someone's arms."
Jiang Jiu quickly got up and explained.
Fo Jiang didn't know if it was intentional, but he maintained the posture of being knocked down and didn't move, looking at her with a strange and distant look.
"Classmate, I haven't said anything yet."
After saying this, Fo Jiang calmly got up and patted his clothes.
Jiang Jiu was instantly shrouded in embarrassment. Indeed, a normal person's first words after knocking someone down would be to apologize, rather than saying such words. She was overly stressed.
"sorry."
Jiang Jiu understood and bowed immediately.
"Student Jiang, please be more careful next time and don't do anything that could lead to misunderstandings."
Ebony Buddhist beads were wrapped around Fo Jiang's cold, bony wrists, making slight clinking sounds as he moved.
"OK!"
Although Jiang Jiu was certain that this was definitely an illusion, he still subconsciously took it seriously when facing Fo Jiang.
“…”
Fo Jiang clearly didn't say anything, but Jiang Jiu saw a hint of speechlessness in his eyes.
"You please?"
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air. Jiang Jiu turned sideways and made a gesture to make way, wanting to end this scene of digging his toes into the ground as soon as possible.
"Mr. Jiang, is there a possibility that I came here specifically to see you?"
Fo Jiang took a deep breath and seemed to be suppressing his anger.
Jiang Jiu then remembered how Fo Jiang looked when he walked towards her just now, with an expression as if he had something to say.
"So? What do you mean?"
Jiang Jiu feels guilty.
"Whether you believe it or not, just listen to what I'm going to say next."
After saying this, Fo Jiang stretched out a hand.
"There is a red string tied between you and me, and only I can see it."
Fo Jiang stretched out his hand and showed it to Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu naturally couldn't see, but she clearly remembered what she had done. The information about the props popped up in her mind, and she felt terrible.
Why would such a thing happen in a fantasy world?
"I believe it!"
Jiang Jiuchao answered loudly.
“…That doesn’t have to be the case.”
Fo Jiang looked at Jiang Jiu with increasingly strange eyes, and always felt that the woman in front of him was not in good spirits.
"Anyway, I'm not interested in you, but the existence of this thing seems to symbolize something. You have to cooperate with me for a while to remove it."
He told it truthfully.
"no problem."
Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not some other shocking request. The Fo Jiang in the illusion had no feelings for her, so it was reasonable for him to do this.
"Well, thank you for your cooperation, Jiang."
Fo Jiang didn't expect Jiang Jiu to agree so readily, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What do you want me to do?"
Jiang Jiu tilted his head and asked.
"Accompany me home to meet my parents."
Fo Jiang said without changing his expression.
"?"
Jiang Jiu thought she had misheard, but seeing Fo Jiang's serious expression that didn't seem like a joke, she could only nod in a daze.
"Oh, okay."
What Fojiang said was rather ambiguous, but it seemed that in this illusion, Fojiang should still have a close relationship with Buddhism.
He probably wanted to borrow the power of Buddhism to test the red rope.
"Well, I'll send someone to pick you up in the evening."
Fo Jiang nodded slightly, and without stopping for a moment after achieving his goal, he turned around and left in a leisurely manner.
For some reason, Jiang Jiu had the illusion that she was just being used and thrown away.
"That's strange."
Jiang Jiu muttered a few words, and only came to her senses when her roommate came to find her.
"Why are you just sitting here in a daze? It's time to go back to the dormitory."
The roommate waved his hand in front of her with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'm not going back today."
When Jiang Jiu said this, she always felt weird all over. She used to be a gloomy otaku and had never stayed out all night.
When I first told my roommate that she was not going back, I always felt guilty.
Sure enough, my roommate's eyes lit up immediately, and the fire of gossip began to burn.
"You're secretly looking for a boyfriend without telling us?"
The roommate asked excitedly.
"No...it's just a personal matter."
Jiang Jiu avoided his roommate's sharp gaze and spoke in a lower and lower voice.
"You're up to something! With whom!?"
Looking at Jiang Jiu's appearance, the roommate was almost 100% sure that something was wrong with her.
“Really not…”
Ginger wine is helpless.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now."
The roommate raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Jiang Jiu really had no intention of saying anything, he stopped pestering him.
...
Evening fell quickly, and as the bell rang, Jiang Jiu walked towards the school gate.
Then.....
The ginger wine cracked.
At this moment, Fo Jiang was sitting in a luxury car parked at the door, looking at Jiang Jiu with a leisurely attitude. He was out of tune with the surrounding environment, as if the style of painting was from two different worlds.
Jiang Jiu could feel everyone's eyes focused on this luxury car. If she walked over right now...
She couldn't even imagine what the news would be like on the school forum tomorrow.
"...I want to die."
Jiang Jiu stood there motionless, feeling a little regretful for agreeing to Fo Jiang's request.
Who knew that the next second, Fo Jiang actually got out of the car!
Walking straight towards her, everyone's eyes followed Fo Jiang and then spread to Jiang Jiu.
very good.
Jiang Jiu felt that her social phobia was completely triggered at this moment.
"Why don't you come over?"
Fo Jiang stood in front of her and asked with his eyes.
"Your car... is too flashy."
Jiang Jiu said expressionlessly.
"?"
Fo Jiang was completely unaware of this, and Jiang Jiu could even see confusion on his face.
"Forget it, let's go."
Ginger wine was deflated. I always felt that there was a deep gap between the rich and the poor that was impossible to cross.
“…”
Fo Jiang and Jiang Jiu walked side by side towards the luxury car, and received only stares along the way.
Jiang Jiu suddenly dreamed back to the days in Juetian Sect. It was like this every day. He was stared at from every angle, and everything he did was exaggerated a hundred times.
The atmosphere in the car was unusually quiet, with Jiang Jiu and Fo Jiang sitting on either side of the back seat.
"Master said that the person on the other end of the red string is my destined one, but I don't believe in fate."
Fo Jiang suddenly spoke.
"I don't believe it either."
Jiang Jiu actively expressed his attitude before Fo Jiang finished speaking.
"That's good."
Fo Jiang was strangely silent for a moment, and his gaze gradually shifted from her to the window.
"Yes, I will cooperate with your arrangements."
It’s just an illusion anyway, Jiang Jiu thought, it shouldn’t matter, just follow Fo Jiang’s wishes.
The time on the road passed in a flash, and until the moment he entered the gate of Fojiang's house, Jiang Jiu didn't even realize that he had actually entered his home.
The area of his estate is ridiculously large.
The moment Jiang Jiu stood in front of the villa, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What evil rich people.
