Chapter 84 Lu Ran Picks Up the Girl at the Airport
--Bang.
Lu Ran committed suicide.
His body, like a heavy object, plummeted from the sky with a "thud," like a watermelon bursting open, its flesh flying everywhere. Of course, he was indeed a chosen one favored by the world, and even in such a tragic state, his open, joyful eyes, his noble and handsome face, the red flower blooming beneath him, and his blood-soaked shirt all possessed an exquisite beauty.
It was as if he was telling those watching him.
love me.
Love me.
He only loves me.
A dazzling and intense emotion erupted at the moment of death.
Pei Ci remained silent for a long time.
She could always vividly sense Lu Ran's love; he was completely open and couldn't hide it. But every action of Lu Ran seemed to tell him, "A Ci, I love you more than you can imagine."
but……
Is it really worth it?
Pei Ci was momentarily dazed, her eyelids drooping, unsure of what to say.
[Alright, Host!] The system's voice interrupted Pei Ci's silence. It spoke quickly, [Host, I know your mind is a mess, and you haven't sorted out your thoughts yet, but there's no time for you to process your emotions now.]
I have to tell you something: this is the last reboot of this world. If either the male or female lead dies this time, or if they don't end up together happily, this world will be completely destroyed.
[Lu Ran, Ye Zhaoxue, Ye Qingyu, your brother, the Pei family you love, and even you yourself cannot escape.]
Of course, so do I.
Therefore, we must muster our energy!! Our efforts last time weren't in vain. Now we basically know that Ye Qingyu is in Pei Chi and Zhou Songyin's hands, so what we need to do now is—
[The true female lead, Ye Qingyu, has been found and rescued!]
[Monitor Lu Ran's vital signs at all times to prevent him from committing suicide!!]
[Trying to get Lu Ran and Ye Qingyu together!!!]
The system finished explaining its plan in one breath. It didn't know anything at first, but it gradually learned how to handle things by being influenced by Pei Ci. More importantly, it didn't want the world to be destroyed, nor did it want its host to die.
They've already done so much.
It has to be a success!
The system was more impatient than ever before.
Hearing the system's words, Pei Ci nodded, seemingly agreeing, but a question lingered in her mind. So she asked:
"Did Lu Ran and the real Ye Qingyu truly love each other?"
"Of course!!" the system said. "Don't worry, the world's consciousness will also bring them together. When the true heroine and hero meet, the world's consciousness's matchmaking will be very successful. There's a word that can describe the effect of the world's consciousness—destiny."
The male and female leads are destined to be together.
Pei Ci was taken aback.
"..."
The girl's eyelids were lowered, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.
“…Mm.” Pei Ci nodded.
Pei Ci woke up relatively early during this world reboot. After waking up, she communicated with the system, seemingly saying a lot, but in reality, it only took a second or two. That one or two seconds was enough for Anderson and Shao Ying, who were keeping a close eye on Pei Ci, to notice. A moment later, the two of them walked in one after the other.
Having already experienced this twice, Pei Ci knew what Anderson was planning as soon as she saw the needle in his hand. Before Anderson even got close, Pei Ci said calmly, "No need for a shot."
Pei Ci always cooperated actively with the treatment, which surprised Anderson. His emerald eyes turned deep and dark. "Miss Pei Ci, is there anything you need?"
Anderson's voice was extremely deep and resonant. Pei Ci raised her eyes to look at the tall and handsome mixed-race youth, her mind filled with the image of him rushing into the operating room.
His leg was broken, his face was disfigured, and his whole body was tortured beyond recognition.
However, he still came.
Because of her promise.
And Shao Ying, standing to the side, was just as loyal.
Although she knew in the previous world that her brother and Zhou Songyin had kidnapped Ye Qingyu, she didn't know the exact location of the operating room. It seemed she would have to start with Anderson to find Ye Qingyu.
She remembered that last week, Anderson resigned the day after they returned to the country. This resignation seemed to be just a pretext; the real reason was that Anderson had learned something he shouldn't have known and was forcibly disappeared.
Therefore, the female protagonist should be within the territory of Anta, or rather, in her vicinity.
Only in this way can we perform a heart transplant on her tonight, and then Anderson will find out.
Pei Ci had a very clear idea of what to do next.
“…Miss Pei Ci?” Seeing the girl staring at him, Anderson’s neck turned red. He suppressed the trembling in his body and called out softly.
The lady today seems a little different.
Or rather, it seemed as if the distance between them had narrowed, as if they had experienced something that even he himself was unaware of.
“Hmm.” Pei Ci turned around and made a move to get up. Anderson immediately helped her up. After getting out of bed, Pei Ci’s eyes swept over Anderson’s face and then over Shao Ying, who wanted to come forward but dared not. “Shao Ying, come here too.”
Shao Ying was stunned for a moment, then walked over blankly.
“Miss…” Shao Ying asked softly.
They were terrified by Pei Ci's sudden action, but at the same time they were overjoyed. Just being near their mistress made them feel an unprecedented happiness.
Pei Ci observed their expressions. No longer as oblivious as before, she saw the pity and affection in their eyes—pure love. In fact, upon reflection, weren't all those who actively approached her the same? On a larger scale, it seemed that every flower, every blade of grass, every leaf, and every tree in this world appeared more vibrant when he was in a good mood.
Because the emotions of the Creator who created this world are also like this.
That……
Lu Ran...
Pei Ci pursed her lips, pulling herself back from her wandering thoughts. She looked at the two of them, her expression no longer cold, but rather gentle and peaceful. She smiled and asked softly:
"Will you... always stay with me?"
"I will never leave."
She added another sentence, the subtext of which anyone with a discerning eye could hear. Anderson and Shao Ying exchanged a glance and nodded almost without hesitation.
This is where the story begins, and at the beginning of the story, she had two of her most loyal subordinates by her side.
Pei Ci then chatted with the two of them for a while. It wasn't much, just some casual small talk, but it made them blush, clearly very excited. After chatting, Pei Ci felt sleepy and asked them to leave.
"etc."
Pei Ci called out to Anderson, who had just reached the door.
"Tell Lu Ran that I'll be there soon," Pei Ci said, her eyes lowered.
Anderson was taken aback. He wanted to ask why, but seeing the sleepiness between Pei Ci's brows, he obediently closed the door.
Pei Ci closed her eyes.
*
Calling Lu Ran over was, of course, a decision Pei Ci made after careful consideration. Lu Ran's condition was truly uncertain, so it was best to keep him close by. Moreover, undeniably, Pei Ci was somewhat curious to see what Lu Ran looked like not lying in a pool of blood.
Two hours later, the plane arrived in Lincoln.
Pei Ci was helped off the plane by Anderson and Shao Ying, but she was stunned by the sight before her.
Unlike her previous two restarted worlds, this time, with the addition of Lu Ran, earth-shattering changes have occurred here.
There were several other planes on the same itinerary as her that were also going to land here, but now it's clear that her plane is the only one in the parking lot.
And the airport...
It has obviously been cleaned and rearranged again.
The floor was dazzlingly bright, the walls were spotless, and a soft red carpet had been laid out under Pei Ci's plane. The carpet was covered with extremely fresh flower petals, and on both sides of the red carpet were fresh flower baskets filled with colorful flowers.
As for Lu Ran, he was wearing a dark red suit, a silver necklace around his neck, and his hair was styled in a special way. He was holding a white and yellow rose in his hand and was watching him from a distance.
Such a grand display...
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a scene of celebrities being greeted by fans at the airport.
“Miss…this color…” Shao Ying suppressed a twitching mouth, “isn’t it too red?”
Someone who didn't know better would think they were having a wedding at the airport.
However, to be fair, it is indeed surprising that such a dramatic change could occur in just two hours.
Shao Ying's unfamiliarity did not avoid Lu Ran. A little distance away, Lu Ran's body stiffened, and Pei Ci saw the taut lines of his neck under the light.
Actually, his reactions are always quite strong, aren't they?
They didn't try to hide anything at all.
Pei Ci even recalled how, when she burned him with cigarette butts, he simply endured it and let her do as she pleased.
He looked like he was enduring being bullied by her.
As she thought about it, Pei Ci's facial features softened a little.
"Mmm." She responded to Shao Ying's words. Just as Shao Ying was about to ask if they should have someone evacuate, Pei Ci stepped off the plane. This time, she was still wearing a white dress, gloves, a pearl necklace, and earrings, looking exquisite and elegant. As she walked step by step onto the red carpet, she resembled a graceful flower. With each step Pei Ci took closer, she could feel the man become more and more wooden. When he was completely wooden, he must have realized how inadequate he was, frowning and looking down at his black leather shoes.
"Glug."
Adam's apple bobbed.
He suppressed his racing heartbeat and said in a low, calm voice, "Tell me earlier next time."
These words sounded like a complaint. Lu Ran realized his mistake after speaking, but since he had already spoken, he only frowned more deeply.
To everyone's surprise, Pei Ci asked softly, "Are you here to pick me up?"
“Okay.” Lu Ran took a deep breath, his head lowering slightly. “What I mean is, I’ll come pick you up.”
His voice was muffled, and his face was aloof and arrogant, but the young master's palms were sweaty, and a bead of sweat had seeped out from between his fingers.
“Okay.” Pei Ci nodded softly and extended her hand to her.
This means he should lead the way.
However.
Lu Ran: "..."
Lu Ran's heart was pounding wildly. This was the most nerve-wracking moment of his life, and to make matters worse, his palm was...
After much deliberation, he still didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. It was truly rare for A-Ci to take the initiative, and for him to hold hands with her in public. So, expressionless, he opened his arms, wiped the sweat from his sleeve, and offered his hand.
Lu Ran had large hands, with scratches on the back and palms, marks from his participation in competitions and other extreme sports. When his hand touched Pei Ci's warm hand, Lu Ran felt as if he were being electrocuted.
A tingling sensation spread from his chest, and his scalp tingled as well.
Is this... this happiness?
Lu Ran had almost forgotten to think. However, this happiness was fleeting, and the next second his gaze fell on Pei Ci's hand.
On his finger was a beautiful and gorgeous opal ring.
This ring...
Suddenly, Lu Ran felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his brain. He opened his mouth wide, his mind blank, and only subconsciously uttered under Pei Ci's gaze:
"this……"
"Is this ring... meant to be a gift?"

Author's Note: Please add to your pre-order list: Asian Beauty at a Top American High School [Elite Academy]
Because of his excellent grades, Wei Nanxing received an offer of admission from Eastten College, a world-class school. Graduating from Eastten is a sure way to gain admission to top universities.
However... the unfamiliar country, the strange customs and culture, the overly enthusiastic classmates from the American school, and the ensuing violence and chaos all made Wei Nanxing feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, her senior from across the ocean could comfort her.
However, nothing changed. Her personal belongings were stolen, she was forced into a perfunctory kiss, and she was dragged into a wealthy circle. Wei Nanxing felt out of place; all she wanted was to escape. So, she hastily withdrew from school and prepared to board a plane back home.
However, something terrifying happened—
Wei Nanxing's green card was withheld.
The mixed-race young master standing at the top of Easten's power pyramid coldly issued a notice: "Easten's school beauty, even if she dies, she will die on Easten's soil."
*
An Asian girl arrived in Eastten. She had thick, jet-black hair and porcelain-smooth, white skin. She was quiet, always ate alone, and had few friends. She was the perfect prey, and the whole of Eastten was abuzz with excitement over the hunt. However, during the hunt, the hunter was the first to be tempted.
They displayed their wealth.
To demonstrate status.
To demonstrate power.
Show off your handsome appearance, outstanding abilities, and everything you possess.
They were filled with enthusiasm, but then they received her application to drop out of school.
If love cannot keep this rabbit, then let this Easton school beauty bloom forever in foreign soil.
