Side Story: The Fate of Quan Yun



Yan Nuan told You Jing about joining the Ghost Stories Club.

"This looks interesting. Can I participate too?"

When You Jing went to school to find Yan Nuan, he would sometimes sneak into the classroom to attend class together if he arrived early. Although he couldn't understand most of the time, he still listened with great interest.

"It should be okay, I'll ask after I get familiar with it." After all, it's an extracurricular activity, and she remembered that the note said she could bring friends.

"Also, what does 'ghost story' mean?" Yu Jing has always been good at asking questions.

"Just some strange things that don't make sense, like paranormal events, horror events, urban legends, and the like."

"I really don't know."

"Your mermaid stories can only be called ghost tales."

"Really? Then I have plenty of material."

On Friday, a member with the nickname "Club Master" in the Ghost Stories community chat announced that there would be a club activity at 4 PM on Saturday, asking for a count of participants and stating that the costs would be split equally among the participants.

Yan Nuan immediately messaged the club president to ask if she could bring a friend.

Yes, please bring it when you report the number of people.

Upon receiving a positive response, Yan Nuan immediately responded with a "2" in the group chat, a "2" that stood out among the group of "1s".

【Boy friend?】

No, friend.

[Male!]

Indeed.

The case is solved, everyone can go home now.

[By the way, there's a rule in the club rules that couples have to treat each other to a meal. I was supposed to explain the rules to the new members tomorrow, but it seems it's too late now.]

I already said it's not...

Whether it is true or not, we can tell at a glance with our discerning eyes.

Yan Nuan seriously considered what it would be like for You Jing to be her boyfriend. It wasn't impossible, but it wasn't quite right either. There was no spark between lovers, and she didn't feel like she wanted to rely on him. No matter how she thought about it, she only had friendship for him, not feelings for him.

As for how he sees himself, it's probably about the same; I didn't sense any love in his words or actions.

Oh, right, he probably just saw her as a food station and the quickest and most convenient universal key to understanding the world.

You're doomed.

Yan Han also had club activities on Saturdays, so the siblings decided not to go home and would go straight home after the club activities were over.

Yan Shi was quite happy to learn that the twins had joined the club. He generously doubled their allowance for the month and gave them an extra 500 yuan each month as club expenses.

Yan Nuan thought about how You Jing was helping out at her uncle's shop, which covered her food expenses and left her with almost no extra pocket money. She suddenly felt incredibly lucky.

While happy, she began to worry about Youjing's future. To live in human society, one needs a skill; it's not feasible to always help out at her uncle's shop.

The main problem is that they don't pay wages.

After a little thought, You Jing realized that he could do some work, but he didn't earn much, and it was hard to say whether it would be enough to live on.

If she could think of a job with a higher salary, she would only think of celebrities. They are good-looking, have good character, and even have a mermaid-like aura. They should be famous no matter what.

However, none of the people she knew were celebrities, and they didn't understand how things worked. For her to think she could make You Jing famous was simply wishful thinking.

You can only keep an eye out for any amateur talent shows. To become famous, you need an opportunity; to stay famous for a long time, you also need talent, good character, and connections.

Yan Nuan was so engrossed in her plan that she didn't come to her senses until noon.

Her roommates were either out having fun or going home, leaving her alone in the dorm. Just as she was wondering what to have for lunch, she received a message from Youjing: "I'm downstairs in your dorm."

"Why are you here so early?" Yan Nuan hurriedly changed her clothes and went downstairs.

"I'm bored staying at home."

“That’s true. Let’s go eat. I was just wondering what to eat.” Yan Nuan had a hard time making choices and was most afraid of choosing between two options, while You Jing was the opposite and was best at choosing between two options.

Boys are not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory. After dinner, Yan Nuan took You Jing to sit on the basketball court. There are benches there, and they can also watch the boys and girls play basketball.

Want to play?

"I do." Yu Jing always kept his word.

"The supermarket should sell basketballs, but I don't know how to play." If I asked those guys, they might let him join, but he doesn't know how, so it would easily end badly.

"I'll play by myself. There's an empty hoop over there; I can just throw the ball in."

Yan Nuan glanced at him; it was only natural for this child to spend her money.

After buying the ball, Youjing imitated others and threw it into the basket, having a great time.

Yan Nuan felt her mouth was tasteless, so she told You Jing and went to the supermarket to buy snacks.

Youjing didn't hear it either. When he turned around, he found that the person was gone. Having learned from the previous experience, he didn't dare to take it lightly. He looked around while holding the ball, but couldn't find him.

He frantically searched for his phone to make a call, but when he couldn't find it, he realized he had left it with Yan Nuan.

"Yan Nuan! Yan Nuan! Yangyang!"

The whale, shouting at the top of its lungs, instantly became the focus of attention on the basketball court.

"Hello, did you see where the girl who was sitting here just now went?" You Jing started asking people nearby, and luckily someone saw the direction Yan Nuan left in.

"There's a supermarket over there, they probably went to buy something."

"Thank you, thank you."

You Jing ran over and bumped into Yan Nuan coming out carrying snacks.

"Here, can you hold this for me?" Yan Nuan called out to You Jing.

"I thought you were lost. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I told you, maybe you didn't hear me," Yan Nuan said dismissively.

"Next time, make sure I answer you before you leave. What if the same thing happens again?"

As he spoke, You Jing moved the things from Yan Nuan's arms to his own.

"Okay, I'll take you next time." Yan Nuan originally wanted to say, "What could possibly happen at school?" But last time, her parents and he were all frightened, and she, as the person directly involved, had the least trauma. She didn't want to make them worry again.
