Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: The Butterfly Effect of Rebirth

Wen Fucheng's 'Good night, Jing Bao' didn't help Ying Jing fall asleep.

Instead, it made her excited all night long.

The next day, Ying Zenan got up and walked into the living room, faced with a floor full of boxes and foam, alongside various miscellaneous items, and on the dining table, there was a half-eaten watermelon with a spoon stuck into it, lost in thought.

Did the house get robbed!

The man silently raised his phone, intending to call the police when a hand stretched out from behind the sofa and rested on the armrest.

Ying Jing appeared with two dark circles under her eyes, looking dazed.

"Brother, good morning."

After speaking, she fell back again.

Ying Zenan bent his knee on the sofa, his hands resting on the soft sofa back.

"You didn't sleep here all night, did you?"

The person lying flat on the floor mumbled a few sentences.

"I'm really sleepy now, if you have anything to report, if not, leave."

Ying Zenan glared at her, this little girl. He lifted his foot and kicked the sofa. "Get up, go back to your room to sleep."

Ying Jing reluctantly got up and walked towards the stairs.

Halfway there, Ying Zenan stopped her.

Ying Jing yawned and looked back at him.

"What is it?"

"In a few days, it's Ye Qingyu's grandfather's seventieth birthday. Keep your schedule open and come with me."

Without thinking, Ying Jing refused.

"I'm not going, too busy. You and Old Ying can go."

"Before, you used to hang out well with Ye Qingyu, causing trouble that he had to help you cover. Why are you distant now?"

It's not her anyway.

Besides, that was in the past. She's grown up now, and of course, she needs to avoid suspicion.

"Since Grandpa Ye likes you so much, usually you can act up, but not this time. You must go."

Ying Zenan didn't give her a chance to refuse, grabbed his things, and directly left the house.

Ying Jing's sleepiness instantly dissipated.

She tightened her grip on the railing.

But soon, this negative emotion was overwhelmed by the joy of going to see Wen Fucheng.

Ying Jing changed into a pretty dress.

Before leaving the house, she received a call from the school teacher, saying that some issues existed with her submitted materials needed for the start of the term, and hoped she could come over to handle them.

She checked the time before lunch.

She first took a taxi to Hu City University.

The weather was a bit hot, so she quickened her pace towards the school building, spent less than half an hour verifying the materials, and when she came out of the administrative building, she unexpectedly bumped into Lu Zishu being bullied by a few strong sports students.

What bad luck she had, running into Lu Zishu getting bullied wherever she went.

The legendary male protagonist aura?

"Are you Lu Zishu? My girlfriend broke up with me for you, chasing you every day, and yet you rejected her. Aren't you just a pretty boy, weak and fragile, afraid you can't take a punch from me?"

...

You have to know, the place where they stood was a bit awkward, Ying Jing had to pass the path right beside them to leave.

She stood on the stairs, listening intently to their conversation.

She perked up her little gossip ears.

Lu Zishu's physique probably couldn't withstand a beating.

Anyone knows what to do now, but the original male lead Lu Zishu, undaunted by danger, exuded an aura that you could hit him, but you absolutely couldn't knock him down.

Expressionlessly, he said to the people in front of him, "So, why don't you manage your girlfriend properly, instead of letting her act like an idiot in front of me."

Wow!

Shocking!

Although Ying Jing already knew in advance that Lu Zishu wasn't someone who would easily admit defeat, she didn't expect him to be so defiant.

It almost seemed unreasonable not to get hit after all that.

Sure enough, the group got furious after hearing his words, and the leading guy rushed towards Lu Zishu with a punch. Despite Lu Zishu's attempts to resist, he couldn't withstand being punched and kicked by the group.

In the end, it was some other passersby who brought teachers to the scene, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

When Ying Jing came down the stairs, the area was quiet again, and Lu Zishu was nowhere to be found.

Which was just fine by her, the less she saw him, the better.

Who knew that after descending the steps, Lu Zishu suddenly stood up from beside a stone lion, casting a gloomy gaze at her, making Ying Jing's heart jolt.

"How come you're here?"

He had several injuries, with the most severe on the corner of his mouth and eyes.

And some blood seeping out.

"Why don't you go to the hospital?" She swears she didn't mean anything else, said it, and left, without staying a moment longer.

"Ying Jing."

Not listening, not listening, not listening.

Ying Jing quickened her pace towards the school gate.

"I'm hurting a lot, could you help me buy some medicine? It's just across from the school gate, please."

A wave of chest pain hit her, making Ying Jing almost stumble.

She quickly walked to the pharmacy, explained the situation, and got the medicine, returning to the school gate, smiling to hand it to the security guard.

"Uncle, could you please give this medicine to the person sitting on the steps across the street? Thank you."

Ying Jing was beautiful and spoke sweetly, coupled with being quite well-known at school, many people recognized her.

Back when Ying Jing was interviewed, the security uncle stood nearby.

The reporter asked her why, when most girls like humanities, she decided to study science.

The security uncle was standing next to her then and heard the girl's crisp and cheerful voice. "To prove to my not-so-bright brother that his unfortunate sister can also excel in science." Later, she accidentally became the top student, making her dad so happy he gave every employee in the company a ten thousand yuan bonus.

With Ying Jing calling 'uncle' sweetly, the security guard was delighted, took the medicine for her, and went across the street.

Didn't see the person she was waiting for return.

When Lu Zishu received the medicine, he was even lectured by the security guard.

"How did you upset Miss Ying? It's better that she pursues you every day. Young man, your attitude isn't right! I don't think you're indifferent to her. A warm heart, when left in water for too long, will cool down too. Don't wait until you miss your chance to regret it."

Lu Zishu had a headache.

"Uncle, you're overthinking it, I have nothing to do with her."

"What do you mean, nothing? The whole school knows Ying Jing likes Lu Zishu."

Is that so!

Then why can he not see any love for him in Ying Jing's eyes?

Unless she's good enough to fool so many people.

Lu Zishu took the medicine, ready to leave, when suddenly some men in suits escorted an elderly gentleman to him.

...

Ying Jing remembered that Lu Zishu hadn't paid her back for the medicine, and she couldn't afford the loss.

As she returned, she happened to see Lu Zishu being taken away by a few people.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't considered being taken away; Lu Zishu obviously went willingly with them.

When the face of the leading person came into her view, Ying Jing was stunned and quickly walked to another corner to hide.

Lu Hongsheng.

In this life, even the Lu Family found Lu Zishu early.

Getting in the car, Lu Zishu seemed to spot her position, and Ying Jing's eyes met his.

Her rebirth produced a butterfly effect.

When everything no longer counted.

Doesn't that mean the male protagonist could change too?

Lu Zishu!

Could also become a supporting character.

Thinking of this, Ying Jing's blood began to boil.
