ALL NOVEL
Chapter 9
On this day, Chu Yang went to the library. Lately, her teacher had assigned a homework assignment, and she was busy looking up information. After searching for a while, she finally found the book she wanted. Just as she was about to reach out and grab it, someone suddenly took the book away. Chu Yang looked at the person, not recognizing them, and wrinkled her brow, wondering if there were any others available.
However, the boy caught a glimpse of her and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. On the other side, Li Qinglu happened to witness this scene. "You... Chu Yang?" she said.
Chu Yang suddenly realized, "The male lead! I should be more cautious around him from now on..."
But as Chu Yang was sizing up the people, Gu Xiao became even more disgusted. He explained to Li Qinglu, "Qinglu, this is a misunderstanding."
Chu Yang nodded, "Indeed, it was an accident! Just my luck!" She then turned around and left.
Li Qinglu:...
Gu Xiao:...
The two finally noticed that Chu Yang had changed. In the past, she would have greeted them with a smile and stuck by their side. But just now... the evasive look in her eyes caught them off guard.
Li Qinglu broke the silence, "Axiao, did you find the book? Chu Yang... just now, she..."
Gu Xiao hugged the book and interrupted her, "It's alright, don't worry about her. I found it. Let's go." He thought Chu Yang was sensible enough to know that she shouldn't disturb them now that he and Qinglu were together.
"Okay."
As Chu Yang walked out of the library, she bumped into Lin Shushu, who was about to enter. As soon as Lin Shushu saw her, she immediately suspected, "Chu Yang, what are you doing here? You didn't come here to be a third wheel for Qinglu and Gu Xiao, did you?" Chu Yang didn't pay attention to her and retorted, "The library doesn't need your light." With that remark, Chu Yang promptly left.
Who says she came here because of those two? They spread rumors about her all the time. Today is just another bad day!
Lin Shushu stomped her foot, "Hey! You..."
Lin Shushu found Li Qinglu in the library and asked, "Qinglu, did you happen to meet Chu Yang just now? Did she come to find you guys?"
Li Qinglu's face stiffened for a moment at the mention of Chu Yang's comment about bad luck. "Uh... it was just a coincidence," she replied.
Lin Shushu immediately felt vindicated, "I knew she must have come to find you guys. I bumped into her at the library entrance, and she actually talked back to me! Qinglu, don't hang out with her anymore. I feel like she's changed ever since she found out about you two. Now she dares to confront us. It was the same last time. She must have been pretending all along. What a two-faced girl!"
Li Qinglu frowned and looked at Lin Shushu, "Shushu, Chu Yang isn't as terrible as you think. It really was a coincidence just now. But she has indeed changed. Why do you have such a strong dislike for her?" She wouldn't have said something like bad luck in the past.
Lin Shushu blinked with a guilty conscience. "It's all because of you, Qinglu. You're too naive. Some girls just pretend to be innocent to seduce boys." She didn't mention her jealousy of Chu Yang's appearance.
When Chu Yang went out to play with Qinglu and other guys before, those guys didn't think highly of Chu Yang because of her family background. However, secretly, they admitted that Chu Yang was indeed beautiful. As for Lin Shushu, she received an ordinary evaluation.
"Ugh! Green tea b*tch!"
Li Qinglu held Lin Shushu's hand and said, "Shushu, you shouldn't say such things in front of Yangyang."
Lin Shushu replied, "I know, I know. I'm not stupid."
Recently, the fanbase of the "Prophecy Little Witch" account has grown, and it's almost reaching a hundred followers. Apart from Chu Yang's daily weather forecasts, the main attraction is the fanbase for the "Capital City's No.1 Handsome Guy."
Every time Chu Yang posted the weather forecast for the next day, this Capital City's No.1 Handsome Guy would not only like, comment, and share the post, but also quickly take a screenshot and post it on his Moments: Tomorrow's weather forecast! [Screenshot]
At first, Yan Xu's friends thought he was just fooling around. However, after a few days, they realized, "Damn! This forecast is unbelievably accurate! What's going on? How can this small account be even better than the official meteorological bureau's forecast?"
It's not that the meteorological bureau's forecast is inaccurate, it's just that their forecasts are more general and not as detailed. But this person not only provided accurate addresses but also precise timing!
Follow, follow immediately!
"Yan Shao, do you know this blogger?"
"Yan Shao, can this blogger really predict the future?"
"Yan Shao, besides weather forecasts, what else can this blogger do? Although the weather forecast is indeed accurate, it doesn't seem that significant."
Chen Shu was one of them. He had a driving license exam tomorrow and asked, "Yan Shao, I have the written test tomorrow. Can you ask the blogger if she can predict whether I'll pass or not?" He had failed once before...
Yan Xu replied, "...Why are you asking me? I'm not the blogger! Just follow the blogger and ask her directly. Why are you asking me one by one? I'm not the blogger's manager." Yan Xu scratched his head and suddenly thought, hey, maybe he could be the blogger's manager.
He decided to approach the blogger and ask.
However, as expected, Yan Xu was rejected. Chu Yang refused because she could handle it on her own, and besides... she only had a small number of followers, why would she need a manager? She couldn't afford to pay a manager. She used to do everything by herself, juggling multiple roles.
After rejecting Yan Xu, Chu Yang received a new message in her private chat. It was from a new fan: Witchy Lady? Besides predicting the weather, can you do anything else? I have the written test tomorrow, and I want to know if I'll pass."
Chu Yang directly replied with "200 bucks." After the previous deal with Jin Yang's friend, she realized she couldn't underprice herself. Predicting two months' worth of events for only 200 bucks was too much of a loss. It also consumed a considerable amount of her witchcraft power, and her crystal ball wasn't ready yet. She needed to set a price.
Normal predictions cost 200 bucks, and the longer the prediction period and the greater the significance of the predicted events, the higher the price.
Chen Shu hesitated when he saw that it would cost 200 yuan. He took a screenshot and sent it to Yan Xu, saying, "Bro, are they asking for money? Could it be a scam?"
Yan Xu replied, "...Don't you need to pay when you ask someone to do something for you?"
Chen Shu said, "But I can't help feeling like it's a scam."
Yan Xu said, "If you think it's a scam, then don't look for the blogger. When you go to have your fortune told, don't you also have to pay?" Although he had never consulted the blogger for predictions, he believed in them. After all, he had not seen the blogger make any mistakes so far.
At first, Chen Shu also wondered if the blogger was a scammer. But after following them for a while, the blogger never mentioned doing any business or actively chatted with him about paying for predictions or anything like that.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shu decided to forget about it. He logged into Weibo and was about to tell the blogger that he didn't want it anymore, but then he saw a follow-up message from the blogger: "If it's not accurate, you can get a refund."
Chen Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Blogger, can I see if it's accurate before paying?"
Chu Yang replied, "Sure. But don't even think about running away. I can find you wherever you are."
Chen Shu felt a chill down his spine when he saw that the blogger could find him. Could the blogger really be an expert?
"Okay, show me if I'll pass tomorrow. If it's accurate, I'll add another hundred yuan," Chen Shu quickly replied.
Chu Yang promptly responded, "You'll pass. First attempt will fail, second attempt will succeed."
Chen Shu was delighted when he read the message. "Thank you for your auspicious words! If I really pass, I'll immediately earn money for you."
Chen Shu showed the screenshot to Yan Xu and said, "[Screenshot] Keep it as evidence, bro. If it's not accurate, remember to unfollow."
Yan Xu: ...
