Chapter 524 - Almost Knocked Down

“Him?”

Lu Sheng’s gaze softened immediately. “He’s someone exceptionally important in my life.”

“Oh.”

Chu Yan replied faintly and his expression became much colder.

Lu Sheng smiled at him.

Chu Yan’s reaction was too similar to Chu Sihan’s.

She did not believe that there were so many coincidences in this world.

Chu Yan must be her Lord. However, he must have forgotten about her when he entered the cycle of reincarnation.

But it was alright. She would make him remember her.

The dishes were served quickly. During the meal, neither of them spoke again.

“So, what’s your real name?”

After dinner, Chu Yan took out a piece of tissue, wiped his lips lightly, and asked her.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t I say my name was Jiang Jing?”

“You’re not,” Chu Yan replied affirmatively.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. She took a sip of water and looked at him. “My name is Lu Sheng.”

“Lu Sheng?”

Chu Yan was stunned.

Could she be the girl called Sheng Sheng from his dream?

Lu Sheng did not notice his expression. Instead, she stood up and said, “It’s time to return to school.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly and followed her out of the restaurant.

“Do you want to drink milk tea?”

There was a milk tea shop at the side. Lu Sheng stopped when she passed by and turned back to ask Chu Yan.

Chu Yan looked up at the milk tea shop and asked softly, “You like to drink it?”

“Yes.” Lu Sheng nodded. “I like this shop’s pearl milk tea. The pearls are chewy, and the milk tea has an appropriate sweetness.”

Chu Yan noted it down secretly.

Lu Sheng bought two cups of pearl milk tea. She drank one herself and passed the other to Chu Yan.

Although Chu Yan received it, he had no intention of drinking it. Instead, he looked sideways at her satisfied expression.

“We’ve reached my dormitory. Goodbye.”

When the two of them reached the dormitory, Lu Sheng hurriedly waved at Chu Yan.

“Yes.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly and stood at the door. He watched her enter before leaving.

Lu Sheng had just reached the floor where her dormitory was when she saw Zhu Ling and Zhou Mei standing outside the corridor, looking at her gloomily.

She raised her eyebrows and ignored them.

“Shameless.”

Lu Sheng had just opened the dormitory door when Zhou Mei suddenly scolded.

Lu Sheng’s hand that was holding the door handle paused. She turned back to look at her and asked lightly, “Who are you referring to?”

Zhou Mei smiled coldly. “I’m talking to myself. What has that got to do with you?”

“You better be.”

Lu Sheng scanned the two of them and they could not help but shiver.

Lu Sheng looked like she did not have a temper, but her gaze just now was exceptionally scary.

However, the duo only felt fear for a moment before feeling nothing.

After school in the afternoon, Lu Sheng returned to the dormitory to pack her things and prepare to go home.

She could also ask her master if Chu Sihan had come to this space-time dimension.

However, when she went downstairs, she saw Pei Yan and Chu Yan waiting.

“Who… are you waiting for?”

Lu Sheng looked at the two of them and asked hesitantly.

“Of course, we’re waiting for you.” Pei Yan smiled and said, “I’ve checked the information you filled in. Your family address is in the same district as ours, so I came over to ask if you want to hitch a ride.”

Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Yan and asked hesitantly, “Who’s driving?”

“Of course it’s me!”

Pei Yan raised an eyebrow. “Chu Yan is only seventeen years old while I’m eighteen. I just received my driver’s license this year. However, don’t worry, Junior. Before getting the license, I was already very skilled in driving.”

Then, he winked at Lu Sheng.

Chu Yan’s gaze darkened and he said to Lu Sheng, “Ignore him. Let’s go first.”

These two people were originally influential characters. In addition to Lu Sheng’s outstanding looks, they quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Afraid that something would happen, Lu Sheng could only nod and leave the dormitory with Chu Yan.

“Hey, wait for me!”

Pei Yan pursed his lips unhappily and was about to chase after them when he was pulled back.

“Pei Yan, my chauffeur has something on today. Can you give me a ride?”

“No, Ling Fei, are you crazy?”

Pei Yan tidied his collar and glared at Ling Fei. “Speak if you want to. Why did you pull my collar?”

Ling Fei sniffed guiltily.

Pei Yan glanced at her speechlessly, turned around, and strode after Chu Yan and Lu Sheng.

“Hey, Pei Yan, wait for me!”

When Ling Fei saw this, she hurried after Pei Yan.

The four of them had just reached the parking lot when a girl suddenly walked out.

The girl was wearing her school uniform. Her skin was very fair, and she had an oval face and black hair that draped over her shoulders. Her big eyes were looking at Pei Yan as she said pitifully, “Brother Yan, my driver can’t come over because he has something on. Can you give me a ride?”

Ling Fei’s face darkened.

Pei Yan suddenly crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the two of them with a faint smile. “Could your driver be the same person?”

The girl paused and looked at Pei Yan suspiciously.

Ling Fei crossed her long legs and stood between Pei Yan and the girl. She raised her chin and said, “Sorry, Pei Yan has agreed to give me a ride. Go and find someone else.”

The girl frowned and ignored Ling Fei. She looked at Pei Yan pitifully.

Pei Yan shrugged. “It’s useless to look at me. There are only four seats. We’re full.”

Ling Fei looked at the girl and smiled proudly. “Zhou Qiong, you’re the school belle of our school. I believe many people will be willing to send you home, right?”

Zhou Qiong’s expression changed.

Speaking of the school belle, someone had recently created a poll for the school belle on the school forum. Jiang Jing was far ahead.

In order to protect her title as the school belle, she had hired a lot of Internet Water Army.

Even so, Jiang Jing’s vote count was not much different from hers, which made her very unhappy.

“Oh, right.”

Ling Fei glanced at Lu Sheng and smiled at Zhou Qiong. “This junior’s vote count will soon surpass yours. You have to continue spending money to hire Internet Water Army. Otherwise, you’ll be surpassed sooner or later.”

Zhou Qiong looked up and realized that there was a boy and a girl standing beside her.

The boy was Chu Yan, who was in the limelight, and the girl was Jiang Jing, whom she had seen a photo of on the forum.

“Hurry up.”

Chu Yan looked at Pei Yan and spoke faintly.

“Then, wait here. I’ll go and drive.”

Pei Yan looked at Zhou Qiong apologetically and left.

Zhou Qiong placed one hand on the strap of her bag and the other on the bottom of her school uniform. She lowered her eyes and bit her lip before leaving aggrievedly.

Ling Fei snorted coldly at her back.

Lu Sheng felt that she was very childish, but also a bit funny.

Pei Yan drove out quickly.

“Hey, aren’t you sitting in front?”

Seeing Chu Yan and Lu Sheng sit at the back, Pei Yan’s eyes widened.

Ling Fei sat in the front passenger seat. She turned back and smiled at Chu Yan. “Chu Yan, I didn’t expect you to be so sensible.”

Chu Yan glanced at her lightly and did not speak.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled.

Pei Yan rolled his eyes at Ling Fei. “Don’t be smug. Put on your seat belt.”

“Okay!”

Ling Fei took her bag to the front and fastened her seat belt.

Lu Sheng took out her phone and prepared to play a game to kill time.

Unexpectedly, just as she took out her phone, Chu Yan suddenly passed it over.

She was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Chu Yan coughed lightly and said shyly, “Let’s add each other on WeChat.”

When they reached the traffic light, Pei Yan suddenly braked. Lu Sheng leaned forward and a big hand pulled her back.

“Are you alright?”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “I’m fine!”

Chu Yan hurriedly retracted his hand and looked at Pei Yan unhappily.

He realized that Pei Yan was looking at him in surprise.

“You… You asked for her WeChat just now?”

Chu Yan raised an eyebrow. “Can’t I?”

“Of course you can!” Pei Yan clicked his tongue and sighed. “I didn’t expect to see you ask a girl for her WeChat in my lifetime!”

Ling Fei looked at the two people in the back seat and seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Pei Yan would have other thoughts about this junior.

Now, it seemed like she was overthinking.

The car resumed its journey quickly. Lu Sheng hurriedly opened her WeChat and passed her QR code over.

Chu Yan smiled and scanned her QR code on his phone. The two of them quickly added each other on WeChat.

When they reached the junction, Lu Sheng suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She looked ahead and her eyes widened.

“Stop the car!”

Chu Yan and Lu Sheng shouted in unison.

Pei Yan subconsciously stopped the car. Suddenly, a truck whistled past the front of his car and hit the greenery. Then, it flipped over.

Dust flew everywhere.

Pei Yan and Ling Fei’s faces were very pale, but Lu Sheng and Chu Yan subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.

“Why didn’t I see a car in front?” Pei Yan asked with a pale face and a trembling voice.

Moreover, the road he was traveling on should not have cars driving in the opposite direction.

Chu Yan said calmly, “He must have lost control of the brakes.”

Lu Sheng took out her phone and called 110 and 120 before getting out to check on the situation.

In the big truck, the driver had already fainted. His face was covered in blood.

Lu Sheng went forward and opened the door. Then, she and Chu Yan brought him out.

Many cars stopped nearby and many people went forward to check on the situation.

The police and ambulance arrived quickly. The driver’s life was not in danger for now.

After the police checked the situation, they heard that Lu Sheng and Chu Yan saved the driver and specially praised them.

On the way back, Pei Yan’s expression was a little heavy.

As for Ling Fei, she seemed to be quite shocked. Her face was still very pale.

If Pei Yan had not stopped the car just now, they would have died there.

Chu Yan looked at Lu Sheng thoughtfully.

Ever since he was born, he could see some strange things.

Moreover, those things seemed to be quite afraid of him. Every time they saw him, they would automatically drift away.

He initially felt that there was something wrong with the truck.

However, when he checked carefully just now, he did not discover anything. He guessed that the brakes had malfunctioned.

When Lu Sheng turned her head, her gaze met his.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, “You have something to say?”

Chu Yan thought for a while and felt that what happened just now might be a coincidence. He shook his head.

No one would believe it if he said that he could see things that ordinary people could not.

He did not know if Lu Sheng would believe him, but…

He could not let her think that he was a strange person.

“Pei Yan, did your family offend someone?”

Lu Sheng asked Pei Yan.

“Why do you ask?”

Pei Yan asked after making a turn.

“We saw that truck just now. Only you couldn’t see it.”

Ling Fei did not see it because she was looking down at her phone.

“I don’t know!”

Pei Yan said in a deep voice, “I really didn’t see a car coming from the other side.”

“Do you know why?”

“Why… why?”

Pei Yan’s heart jumped and he asked in confusion.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said lightly, “Go back and ask your parents. I think they know.”

Although Pei Yan was doubtful, he secretly noted Lu Sheng’s words.

As for Chu Yan, he looked at Lu Sheng in surprise and was secretly shocked.

For some reason, he felt that Lu Sheng might be able to see those illusory things like him.

Moreover, she should be stronger than him.

The reason why he transferred to Yizhong was because he wanted to see the school building where many people jumped off.

When he and Pei Yan entered, the door was open.

He remembered that Lu Sheng had gone to Principal Gao’s office before. After that, Principal Gao said that he had given the key to someone else.

A few days ago, he specially went to take a look. However, he realized that all the strange phenomena there had disappeared.

In other words, the thing hidden there had been cleaned up.

At that time, he realized that Lu Sheng was having a meal with two mysterious men and Principal Gao.

Could it be that the thing that even he could not discover was cleaned up by Lu Sheng and the two men?

Who were those two men to Lu Sheng?

Although Chu Yan was puzzled, he did not ask Lu Sheng on the spot.

Half an hour later, the car entered the district.

Lu Sheng pointed the way for Pei Yan and the car stopped outside her house quickly.

Before she alighted, she looked at Pei Yan and said, “Thank you, Senior Pei, for giving me this ride. If you have any doubts in the future, you’re welcome to come and ask me.”

“I’ll find you later.”

Chu Yan looked at her and said softly.

Lu Sheng looked at him. She knew that he probably had something to ask her, so she nodded. After speaking to Ling Fei, she opened the door and alighted.

Pei Yan sent Ling Fei back to the Ling family before returning to the Pei family with Chu Yan.

Of course, Chu Yan asked for this himself. He wanted to know why Lu Sheng asked Pei Yan to go home and ask his parents.

“Oh, my precious son is back?”

When the two of them entered, a woman stood up from the sofa and hugged Pei Yan with a smile.

“Xiao Yan is here too?”

Chu Yan nodded. “Hello, Auntie!”

“Quick, take a seat!”

The woman warmly invited Chu Yan to sit at the side.

Pei Yan looked at her hesitantly, seemingly thinking how to ask her.

“Yan Er, why is your face so pale?”

After the woman sat down, she realized that there was something wrong with Pei Yan’s expression.

Pei Yan sat between the woman and Chu Yan. He turned his head and asked the woman, “Mom, I was almost knocked down by a truck today.”

Yao Bingxin’s expression froze. She widened her eyes and asked Pei Yan, “Yan Er, what did you say just now?”

Pei Yan repeated patiently, “I said, I was almost hit by a truck.”
