Chapter 750: The Mermaid (13)
Panda TV became the undisputed number one platform, unmatched by the other two. After all, they didn't have a streamer like A-Yuan, nor did they have the boldness of the Panda TV owner to donate 500 million yuan.
They didn't even blink.
Wen Wan clearly felt her luck decreasing, and there were signs, because she became extremely unlucky.
Although these things are not life-threatening, Wen Wan always seems to have some minor mishaps wherever she goes. She might bump into a table corner, fall out of bed in the middle of the night, run out of water when taking a bath, or buy clothes that don't fit her size. She might also buy shoes that are either too big or too tight. Even when eating, she always seems to encounter a dish where the chef forgot to add salt.
The system said this was normal and unavoidable, since it was Wen Wan herself who suggested letting the luck system absorb her luck.
System: [The host can also stop this.]
Wen Wan: "Forget it, as long as nothing serious happens, it's better for me to be unlucky than for Gu Chuan, the male lead."
However, after Wen Wan choked on the same cup of water for the third time, she immediately regretted it. The male lead was tough and thick-skinned, so it wasn't like he couldn't have a little bad luck, right? But she had thin skin, and her whole body was covered in small bruises caused by various accidents, making her look like she had been beaten up.
The marshal came to visit Gu Chuan.
Upon seeing the injury on Wen Wan's arm, he glanced at his son with a complex expression.
"Ogawa, I taught you to be a gentleman."
Gu Chuan: "..."
Wen Wan quickly explained, "It has nothing to do with Gu Chuan. I fell by myself. I only recently grew my legs, so it's easy for me to fall. Gu Chuan is very good to me. He definitely didn't mistreat me."
The marshal looked at Wen Wan, "Is that so?"
Wen Wan nodded quickly. Although this was somewhat related to the male lead, he was unaware of it. And what if he got angry if she didn't explain?
“Ah Yuan, now that you’ve passed through your first stage of maturity, it’s time to start planning your marriage with Xiao Chuan.”
Wen Wan: "Huh?"
She glanced at Gu Chuan, signaling him to quickly refuse.
Gu Chuan: "Father, you don't need to worry about these things."
Marshal: "How can I not worry? General Chen's son is the same age as you, and his son is already three years old. You're still a bachelor. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Gu Chuan: "This can't be rushed."
Marshal: "I don't care. Even if you don't get married, you have to get engaged first, otherwise I'll send you home to retire."
Gu Chuan: "..."
His father might actually be capable of doing such a thing.
"Father~"
Marshal: "Look at A-Yuan, what's wrong with her? She has a good personality and is beautiful. Although the match is a bit low, it's not impossible to make up for it. If you didn't like her, why would you let A-Yuan live here for so long? Now the whole intergalactic world knows that A-Yuan is your little mermaid. If you don't give her a title, you'll ruin A-Yuan's reputation."
Wen Wan was shocked by the marshal's unreasonable and incessant urging to get married. But this wouldn't do; how could she marry the male lead? It wasn't right.
But this old man was quite persistent.
He doesn't seem like a marshal at all, but more like a mischievous old man.
Gu Chuan: "Give me some time."
Marshal: "How long will it take?"
Gu Chuan: "One year. If you don't agree, then you can kill me."
Marshal: "Fine, one year it is. If I don't get to attend your wedding, I'll really beat you to death and pretend I don't have a son like you."
Wen Wan on the side: 666.
After the marshal left, Wen Wan walked to Gu Chuan's side to ask him something, but her left foot got caught on her right foot, and she fell. If Gu Chuan hadn't caught her quickly, she would have had several more bruises.
With that simple touch, Wen Wan leaned against Gu Chuan, the two of them very close. Wen Wan's face instantly turned red. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Wen Wan quickly stepped back.
Gu Chuan straightened his sleeves, which had been ruffled by Wen Wan. "Walk properly. You can't even walk two steps without falling. Are you used to using your fish tail and can't use human legs? This makes people think I'm abusing you."
Wen Wan: "I'm sorry."
Ugh, who am I suffering for? I'm so angry.
"This is the medicine Wei Lin gave you. Apply it to your wounds. Stay home for the time being and don't go anywhere. What did you do to deserve such bad luck?"
Wen Wan: "I don't know, maybe it's just bad luck."
Gu Chuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Wen Wan's contorted little expression.
Wen Yan: "???"
"Are you laughing?" Wen Wan was stunned. This was definitely a demon concubine. She had to stay calm, even though she really wanted to touch that face. It wasn't about love; it was just lust.
And those muscle lines that can't be hidden even when dressed up, they're so incredibly sexy.
Once she completes her mission, she must find a man like that. After all, she's been given a second chance at life, and if she doesn't fall in love, wouldn't that be a waste of her life?
Gu Chuan: "What are you thinking about?"
"No--"
The voices all became high-pitched.
Wen Wan quickly ran away. If she stayed any longer and it was discovered that she had lustful thoughts towards Gu Chuan, Gu Chuan would kick her out!
As a result, he tripped and fell again at the threshold.
"Damn! That hurts so much!"
Gu Chuan was still laughing behind her, and he was laughing very loudly. Wen Wan was about to go crazy.
Because of bad luck, Wen Wan encountered many problems during her live streams. She lost all ten games, choked on her food and almost coughed up bile, and even experienced a series of issues such as internet and power outages.
In the end, Wen Wan shortened her daily live stream time to half an hour, ending the stream after she finished eating.
The main theme is simply bad luck.
Fans were also worried and even suggested that Wen Wan go and pray, saying that this was just too unlucky.
Wen Wan never expected that in a world where even food culture is almost disappearing, there is still a tradition of praying to gods and Buddhas, and that the god of wealth is the one that modern people like to pray to the most.
Wen Wan knew the reason for her bad luck, but she still decided to pray to the Bodhisattva. Although it might not work, she was still a bit superstitious at heart.
So he invited Lan Ya to go and worship the Bodhisattva together.
Lan Ya also knew that Wen Wan had been having a lot of bad luck lately, but that was in the live stream. However, in real life, after discovering that Wen Wan was really having a lot of bad luck, Lan Ya laughed without any sense of morality.
"Ah Yuan, what heinous thing did you do to deserve such bad luck?"
Wen Wan: "I never do bad things, please call me a living bodhisattva of our time."
Lan Ya: "I don't believe in Buddhism. I'm going to the temple mainly to keep you company. You have to treat me to a big meal when we get back."
"OK."
Upon arriving at the most popular temple, Wen Wan was shocked. Modern people worship Buddha and Bodhisattvas with such high technology: the incense was electronic, the paper money burned was projected, and everything was controlled by a smart brain. Could the Bodhisattvas truly sense genuine faith? Would they truly bless these people? Wouldn't the Bodhisattvas starve?
