Shu Cheng put down the book in her hand, recalling the scene of going to the dean's office today.
She didn't actually say anything, but her words implied that she had a close relationship with that young Master Rong today. The dean is a smart person and immediately understood.
Thinking this, Shu Cheng looked up at the ceiling and said leisurely, "Maybe... the old dean had a change of heart."
"A change of heart? What the heck."
"Oh well, it's a good thing anyway. By the way, where's Mo Yu? Why isn't she back yet?"
"I just saw her go to the class monitor's dorm. They bought a bunch of snacks, seems like they're celebrating something."
"That Mo Yu is really something, we're roommates after all, how can she be so biased towards outsiders."
……
Shu Cheng continued to pick up her book and read, not paying much attention.
The next day was the weekend, and Shu Cheng was called out early in the morning by Xie Yucheng, who said that the landlord had handed over the house and wanted her to take a look.
Shu Cheng got up and looked at the balance in her account, there were still more than two thousand left, enough to buy some necessities to take to the studio.
After spending it all, Shu Cheng let out a long sigh of relief.
【Shu Cheng: It's all spent, where's the reward, where's the reward!】
【System: Congratulations, host, for completing the limited-time mission. The mission reward will be credited to your account in three hours and fifty-six minutes.】
Shu Cheng's smile froze.
What does that mean? It has to be twenty-four hours after the mission is completed?
You should have said so earlier! She just emptied her pockets, and now she's carrying a bunch of stuff. There's no way she can walk to the studio!
Although the studio is less than two kilometers away, Shu Cheng was carrying a lot of things, and she was already sweating profusely after walking just a few steps.
Just as she put down her things and was about to call Xie Yucheng to come pick her up—
“Oh, isn't this Sister Shu Cheng?”
A BMW pulled up steadily beside her, and Qiao Manman, sitting in the passenger seat, poked her head out, a mocking look on her face.
Shu Cheng looked up and realized that the driver was Du Mingze.
He was wearing sunglasses, looking over with a disdainful expression.
The price of those sunglasses flashed in her mind: 19,999.
Not just the sunglasses, upon closer inspection, the watch on Du Mingze's wrist and the clothes he was wearing were all expensive.
When they were dating, Shu Cheng only knew that Du Mingze's family was well-off, wealthier than the average college student.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
But he wasn't this rich back then!?
Noticing the confusion in Shu Cheng's eyes, Du Mingze snorted coldly, his face full of mockery: “Miss Lin told me you were a jinx. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that after breaking up with you, my luck would turn around.”
As Du Mingze spoke, he stroked the steering wheel a couple of times, his eyebrows raised in smugness.
Qiao Manman giggled beside him, “Then you should thank me properly.”
“Of course, if it weren't for you, I'd probably still be dragged down by this jinx.”
Having said that, Du Mingze reached out and hugged Qiao Manman, planting a kiss on her cheek.
Shu Cheng: ...
You're deliberately here to disgust me, aren't you.
She gritted her teeth, picked up her things from the ground, and prepared to leave, not wanting to look at this disgusting couple for even a second longer.
“Don't go, where are you going? Let me give you a ride, after all, you're my ex-girlfriend.”
“How annoying, why do you still want to drive her? Aren't you afraid this jinx will pass on bad luck to us?”
“Don't worry, baby, do you think she dares to get in the car looking like that?”
The two in the car laughed and joked, completely treating Shu Cheng as a source of amusement.
Shu Cheng gritted her teeth in anger, and just as she was about to curse back, a system voice sounded in her mind.
【System: Ding! Congratulations, host, for being humiliated by your ex-boyfriend and successfully experiencing bad luck. You are rewarded with the ability to transfer your bad luck for one day. Please choose whether to accept the reward.】
Transfer bad luck? Doesn't that mean I can make others unlucky too?
【Shu Cheng: Accept.】
【System: Please select the transfer target.】
【Shu Cheng: Du Mingze.】
【System: Ding, transfer successful.】
Shu Cheng snapped back to reality, her gaze landing on Du Mingze, who was still looking at her with disdain, his mocking words never ceasing.
【Shu Cheng: System, are you sure the transfer was successful? Why is there no reaction?】
【System: Uh, host, why are you questioning the system? The system is professional!】
Alright, then I'll just wait a bit longer.
While Shu Cheng was talking to the system, her gaze happened to fall blankly on Du Mingze.
This made Qiao Manman very unhappy, and she said irritably, "What are you looking at? Mingze is my boyfriend now!"
"Don't be angry, baby, let's go. It's not worth getting angry with this jinx."
After saying this, Du Mingze stepped on the gas and drove the car away.
Who knew that just a few meters out, with a bang, he collided with a car coming from the intersection.
"Pfft."
Shu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
She craned her neck to take a look, seeing that the BMW's door was dented in from the collision, and couldn't help but grin widely.
【System: How about it, host! Do you believe that the system is professional now?】
【Shu Cheng: I believe it, I believe it.】
Just then, her phone rang. Shu Cheng took it out and saw that it was Xie Yucheng calling, saying that he hadn't checked his phone just now.
Shu Cheng quickly asked him to call a cab for her; she really didn't want to walk.
Soon, the cab Xie Yucheng had called for her arrived.
Shu Cheng put her things in the trunk and, as she was about to get into the car, glanced at Du Mingze not far away.
He had somehow gotten into an argument with the other driver. In the midst of the quarrel, the other person raised his hand and punched Du Mingze. Immediately, the scene became chaotic.
Tsk, I didn't expect the bad luck on me to be so powerful.
When she arrived at the studio, Xie Yucheng was already waiting at the door.
“Why did you buy so much stuff? This paintbrush is imported, right? It costs several hundred yuan each, and there are so many paints.”
“What are these, oh, daily necessities... Wait a minute, Shu Cheng, you didn't even have money for a cab just now, where did you get the money to buy all this?”
Shu Cheng gave a dry laugh, “Why do you think I didn't have money?”
Xie Yucheng twitched the corner of his mouth. He had a wolf-tail hairstyle, with the ends of his hair falling behind his neck, giving him a sense of rebelliousness and wildness.
He reached up and swept the few stray hairs from his forehead back, instantly revealing his exquisite features, like a work of art.
“Has your brain rusted? Did you spend all your money?!”
Shu Cheng touched her nose, “It's just temporary.”
Xie Yucheng rolled his eyes, “Reckless!”
After saying that, he reached into the pocket of his ripped jeans and pulled out a bank card, handing it to Shu Cheng.
“This is the tens of thousands you gave me, I haven't touched it.”
Shu Cheng's eyes widened suddenly!
What the heck!?
You haven't touched it!?
Xie Yucheng raised an eyebrow, and said with a smug look, “Don't fall in love with me, okay?”
Shu Cheng:……
Fall in love my ass, her limited-time mission is about to fail!
