Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Talisman Paper
The person whom Zhong Nianyao had her sights set on was none other than Zhao Xuanlang.
“Hey, Nianyao, are you falling for Xuan Lang again?” Li Chenghao, ever the agent of chaos, teased from the sideline, “Xuan Lang, your charm is really something! Even Eldest Miss Zhong has fallen for you!”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Zhao Xuanlang admonished in a low voice.
He didn’t know what was wrong with himself. Faced with Zhong Nianyao’s intense gaze, he actually felt a tinge of shyness. “Oh, are you blushing now!”
Li Chenghao was blunt, “Nianyao, do you like Zhao Xuanlang?”
Any girl hearing such words would certainly blush, and there was even a high chance she would run away.
But Zhong Nianyao was calm and collected, continuing to look—or rather stare—at Zhao Xuanlang.
She even nodded, “I am indeed quite interested in him.”
At her words, Zhao Xuanlang felt his heart rate speed up. But what Zhong Nianyao said next turned his complexion deathly pale.
“People as unlucky as him are really rare to come by!”
Zhong Nianyao, looking at the thick dark aura at the center of Zhao Xuanlang’s forehead, couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder, “You’re still alive in this world, there must be something good protecting you, right?”
Zhao Xuanlang abruptly looked up, staring intently at Zhong Nianyao, “What do you mean?”
Though he tried hard to stay calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
He was indeed very unlucky, he could encounter falling objects when going out, have a car brake failure, or even choke on water. Because of this, his family had hired him a bodyguard.
However, normally, that bodyguard would stay hidden and wouldn’t show up.
“I mean what you know in your heart,” Zhong Nianyao blinked her eyes, and curved her lips into a smile, “The thing that’s protecting you is about to lose its effect, take care of yourself!”
She wasn’t exaggerating at all—Zhao Xuanlang was soon going to be in grave danger.
When people looked at Zhong Nianyao, their eyes were filled with complexity.
“Nianyao, your way of attracting people’s attention is really bizarre!” The first to recover was Li Chenghao.
“Believe it or not, that’s up to you,” Zhong Nianyao said to Zhao Xuanlang, “I’m just stating the facts.”
After saying that, Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders and walked forward. Her indifferent demeanor suggested she had merely made a casual comment.
“Wait a minute!”
Just as Nianyao was about to leave, Zhao Xuanlang, as if suddenly snapping back to reality, stepped forward to block her path.
“Nianyao, do you know something?” Zhao Xuanlang’s eyes held a hint of sharpness, a stark contrast to his slightly shy demeanor just a moment ago, “Or did you find out something?”
“I have no interest in prying into your affairs,” Zhong Nianyao said with a dismissive pout, “But the dark aura on your forehead is so dense it’s almost materializing. Don’t you have a clue?”
While speaking, Zhong Nianyao’s eyes darted, “You’re about to face a bloody disaster. Considering we’ve met by fate today, I’ll help you out.”
Having said that, Nianyao dug around in her bag for quite a while, then pulled out a crumpled piece of talisman paper that was simply folded into a triangle. It looked like a carelessly made defect, even more perfunctory than those sold for ten yuan for three pieces on the street.
She stuffed the talisman paper onto Zhao Xuanlang’s person, “Hold on to this, it can help you avoid a calamity once.”
With that, she left with a flourish.
Li Chenghao stepped forward, feeling curious, “Xuan Lang, what exactly did Nianyao give you?”
“It wouldn’t be some kind of love token, would it!”
