Chapter 96 Extras and the System
After leaving the hospital, Xia Zhen was still worried about Lu Jin. She tentatively asked the person next to her, "Dad, do you think Uncle Lu might have a soft spot for Lu Chang'an? After all, Lu Chang'an has called him Dad for so many years."
Xia Yu smiled sarcastically, "I don't know if others will be soft-hearted, but I know that Lu Qi will definitely not be soft-hearted. There is no one more cold-blooded than him in this world."
Twenty years ago, when Old Master Lu was seriously ill, the young masters and ladies of the Lu family fought tooth and nail for the position of family head. Lu Qi was the most unassuming one, and therefore no one regarded him as a strong and powerful opponent.
While these people were scheming against each other, someone belatedly realized that Old Master Lu had disappeared from the hospital.
Not long after, Lu Qi returned with Old Master Lu's will.
Not long after, the rest of the Lu family either died or fell ill, leaving only Lu Qi and his half-sister in this once-great family.
Xia Yu sometimes couldn't help but think that if it were him, he would at most imprison Old Master Xia, but he definitely wouldn't be able to bring himself to do such a cruel thing to Old Master Xia. In the heart of an ordinary person, there will always be consideration for human relations.
Lu Qi seems like a very amiable and good-tempered person. It is precisely because he doesn't seem dangerous that he is even more unpredictable.
Xia Zhen tried to sound casual as she asked, "Then how does he treat Lu Jin? Is he also cold-blooded?"
Xia Yu said, "That's not necessarily true."
Xia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, he is his own son after all."
“That’s not what I meant,” Xia Yu added. “I don’t think that guy would treat Lu Jin specially just because of blood ties. Bloodline isn’t important to him. What’s important is whether Lu Jin is Lin Ruo’s child.”
Xia Zhen seemed to understand this sentence, but not quite.
"As for Lu Chang'an..." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, "Just wait, that guy Lu Qi will definitely make another move."
Xia Zhen didn't understand Lu Qi as well as Xia Yu did, so at this point, she could only believe what Xia Yu said.
Xia Zhen left the hospital in Xia Yu's car, and naturally did not notice that there was still a person standing in the dim corner in the distance.
She walked out unharmed.
Is this the butterfly effect?
Should he feel disappointed or relieved?
As Song Heng felt the cold night wind blowing, his thoughts were in turmoil as he realized that he felt mostly fortunate.
Was he relieved that she wasn't hurt, or relieved that he didn't have to confront Lu Chang'an?
Regardless of what he was glad about, he had clearly had a second chance. He knew that offending Lu Chang'an would create a formidable enemy for him, so why did he still rashly rush here?
This is an answer that Song Heng is destined not to understand.
The summer night breeze seemed to carry a restlessness, making people feel increasingly irritable for no reason.
As he turned around, a girl in a white dress ran over.
Her expression was panicked. When she saw Song Heng, her eyes lit up as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope. She ran to his side, nervously grabbing his arm. Her delicate and pretty face was full of pleading, and tears welled up in her bright eyes. "There are bad people following me. Please help me!"
Song Heng was slightly dazed.
At that moment, he kicked open the bathroom door and rushed in. When he saw Lu Chang'an trying to do something to Xia Zhen, he lost his mind.
Xia Zhen was wearing a beautiful white dress, and even though the hem was wet, it didn't make her look any more disheveled.
She gripped her hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She was crying, looking pitiful, and her words were choked with sobs, "Song Heng, if you beat him to death, you'll go to jail!"
However, her next sentence was: "So let's pretend he fell down the stairs!"
It's hard to describe what that feeling was like.
As Song Heng slowly regained his composure, he felt an unknown surge of hormones coursing through his body as he looked at the girl crying her heart out. His heart was pounding.
Perhaps he was misled by that feeling at the time, which is why he came here uncontrollably today.
However, instead of seeing Xia Zhen crying, he saw a strange girl crying and asking him for help.
She is a beautiful girl, and the way she cries and asks for help can easily arouse the pity of others.
For no apparent reason, Song Heng felt a surge of irritation.
He pulled his arm away from her and walked straight ahead to leave.
The girl hurriedly took two steps after him, grabbing his sleeve, her whole body trembling. "Please... help me..."
To reject such a pitiful girl on this night would be the cruelest thing in the world.
Song Heng pointed impatiently in the direction of the hospital entrance, "See? There's a security guard there. Why don't you ask him to call the police?"
After saying that, he brushed the girl's hand away and walked away without stopping.
The girl didn't react for a moment.
Only after Song Heng's figure had disappeared from sight did she come to her senses. Her tears stopped falling, and her body stopped trembling. Instead, she excitedly cupped her face and said, "System, he's so cool! No wonder he's my target!"
A completely emotionless voice echoed in her mind: "Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible."
"I know, I will try my best!" The girl's expression was firm. "I finally managed to change his tragic fate and give him a chance to be reborn. This time, I must stop him from being harmed by the vicious female supporting character. System, I will work hard to earn points, and then I will protect him well! By the way, how many points do I have now?"
[The host currently has 45 points.]
"Points are really hard to earn." She then asked, "If I earn 9,999 points, can I exchange them for a Time Reversal Box in the shop and start over?"
[The treasure box is a limited-purchase item and can only be redeemed once.]
The girl thought about it and expressed her understanding. After all, it was already quite good to be able to use such an overpowered cheat code even once. Anyway, she had already changed Song Heng's fate and kept him far away from that vicious female supporting character. He would definitely not end up being abandoned by everyone again.
As she pondered, the girl recalled the first time the system contacted her and told her that she was just a minor character in a novel.
It's bad enough that she's just an extra, but what she didn't expect was that the school bully she had a crush on was only the second male lead.
The system says that in the story, Song Heng will be unable to win the heart of the female lead, Tang Susu, while his fiancée, Xia Zhen, is a vicious supporting character who will only cause trouble and harm Song Heng and Tang Susu.
