Chapter 29 Bad Luck



When the girlfriend woke up, she found herself unable to move and her body ached. She looked at her boyfriend, confused, and asked, "Fang Cheng, why did you tie me up?"

Unable to explain, the man quickly untied the ropes binding his girlfriend.

Then he hugged her tightly and said excitedly, "Thank goodness, you're finally alright."

[I was force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).]

We know you two have a good relationship, so please don't show off your affection in front of us.

The man thanked the streamer, then gifted her a nine-colored rose before leaving the live stream.

Bai Xi took a sip of tea and said, "The last divination."

The user's nickname is "Youth With You," and they immediately paid for a divination to get a lucky koi fish.

Bai Xi: "Hello, would you like to calculate privately or via live stream?"

Youth With You also chose to have a live fortune telling session.

The viewers in the live chat were delighted, and Bai Xi was also happy to see it happen.

The screen showed a young and beautiful girl, but there were dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept well.

The background wall is in a dormitory room, but she is the only one in the dormitory at this moment.

What's wrong with this young lady?

[Didn't the college entrance exam end a long time ago? Why do you still look like you haven't woken up properly?]

She's probably having trouble sleeping.

Bai Xi said, "Let me tell you some basic information about you first."

"You were born into an ordinary middle-class family. You're well-behaved, have excellent grades, and are the typical 'perfect child' in other people's eyes. You went to a very good university, but your classmates are all very wealthy, and you often have to work part-time to save money. So, you often feel a little inferior in front of them, right?"

Youth With You nodded, "Mm."

“A month ago, your mother fell ill and urgently needed money, but you couldn’t afford it. To pay for your mother’s treatment, your father worked overtime and then drove for Didi (a ride-hailing service) at night. In the end, your father collapsed from exhaustion and almost got into a car accident, right?”

Youth With You nodded in surprise, "Host, you're right about everything."

She kept her head down. Before, when she was in junior high and high school, she had never felt inferior. It wasn't until she went to that university that she realized what life was like for the rich.

Because of her family's financial situation, she felt inferior. University tuition was very expensive, costing almost two-thirds of her family's money. She didn't want to go to the good university her parents thought she should attend.

She mentioned it to her father once, but to her surprise, he almost got sick from anger, and she was also severely scolded by her mother.

Alas, what a poor child.

[If they're already so poor, why would they spend money to have their fortune told by a streamer?]

Upon hearing this, Youth With You's eyes flickered slightly.

"Actually, I didn't initially intend to have my fortune told by a streamer. I was drawn to the fortune-telling livestream by watching the programmer's story."

"When the lottery was being held, tens of thousands of people were participating at the same time. I thought I had been having some bad luck lately, with frequent misfortunes in my family, so I figured good luck in the lottery wouldn't come my way. So I just participated for fun, and I never expected to actually win."

[Unlucky? You wouldn't believe it, but all those lucky people who got selected were actually unlucky.]

Hahaha. Upstairs, what nonsense are you spouting?

[But those who were chosen as "destined" were clearly unlucky, yet everyone still enthusiastically tried to draw a spot for a fortune telling session.]

"Dude, you don't understand. Winning means there really is bad luck I don't know about, maybe even the streamer will save my life. Not winning just means I'm lucky, nothing bad is going to happen to me."

[That seems to be true. It's probably worth it to try and get a spot in this fortune-telling session. Just in case my boyfriend cheats on me or I end up in some kind of disaster, wouldn't it be better to cut my losses in time?]

Seeing these comments on the screen during "Youth With You" made me feel a little dazed.

“Host, I’ve been having a lot of bad luck lately, and I’ve also encountered some strange things.”

Hahaha, I knew something was going to happen.

[No wonder you're a long-time fan of the streamer; you've figured out all their tricks.]

Bai Xi, "Tell me your problem."

Upon seeing this, a member of Youth With You recounted some strange things that had recently happened to them.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately? When I lie in bed at night, I always feel that the blankets are cold. Sometimes the things on my desk will move inexplicably. I asked my roommates, but they all said that they hadn’t touched my things. And my roommates mentioned that the dorm has become much colder recently.”

[Things have been moved? It seems like we've been robbed.]

[Is the dorm getting colder? Are you sure you didn't turn on the air conditioner? Or maybe the weather has changed.]

"Without the air conditioning on, my roommate and I noticed that the temperature outside and inside the dorm was a little different."

That's strange, isn't it?

Seeing the gloomy look on her face, Bai Xi asked, "Can I see your dorm room?"

"Okay, okay," she replied obediently.

Then, she slowly rotated her camera around the entire dormitory.

Viewers watching the live stream saw the luxurious facilities inside: four-person rooms, with two people sharing a small room, a living room outside, and a separate bathroom.

[Your dorm looks so nice! Much better than mine. This must be a prestigious school.]

[The host just mentioned that she has excellent grades and got into a very good university. I couldn't quite describe it before, but after seeing this luxurious dorm room, I can picture it in my mind. If the dorm room is this nice, the school must be incredibly beautiful.]

It's no wonder that a student from a poor family would feel inferior in a school where almost everyone is wealthy.

Bai Xi sensed a sinister aura upon seeing the dormitory environment. At that moment, a black shadow flashed past behind her.

She said, "The strange things you've been experiencing lately are because something has gotten into your dorm room."

【thing?】

The contestant on "Youth With You" wondered, "Has a thief broken in?"

Bai Xi: "To be precise, what came in wasn't a person."

[Ha, not human, could it be an alien visiting her dorm?]

I'd like to add something: I was just thinking about my last boyfriend's girlfriend.

【Me too.】

Lin Xinxi took a sip of tea. "More or less."

【???】

What does the host mean by this?

Don't keep them in suspense.

When the host of "Youth With You" said that the person who came in wasn't human, his face turned pale instantly.

Bai Xi looked behind Youth With You and asked, "Have you found anything lately?"

Upon hearing this, Youth With You was taken aback and stammered.

Judging from her expression, it seems she's hiding something from us.

She wanted to solve the problem, but she couldn't do so without telling the anchor the truth.

[I have a feeling the streamer saw something; she kept staring at the person who seemed destined to meet her.]

Don't scare me!

Bai Xi said, "You need to tell the truth. I can't guarantee what the consequences will be if you don't."
