Chapter 12 Care For Some Fortune-Telling, Sister?
Bai Chen stared at the genius lady who was still daydreaming on the marble bench, not moving anywhere. He looked at her for a while before deciding to approach her to get the mission over with and go home.
Not long after, Bai Chen was near the marble bench where the genius woman was sitting. Seeing her up close made him fall under her spell even more. She was truly beautiful—even more beautiful than when he was looking at her from afar.
Being closer to her, Bai Chen could roughly estimate her age. In his perception, the woman was probably around 20 to 21 years old, not much older.
His heart pounded a little faster as he could smell a refreshing scent. This scent was the scent from the genius woman’s body; Bai Chen was confident about it.
He shook his head a little to get rid of the feelings. The boy tried to adjust his manner to be as normal as possible before walking up to her slowly.
“Sister, can I sit with you?” When he reached the long marble bench she was on, Bai Chen smiled and spoke with a normal tone of voice.
The reason that he called her sister was that he was in the body of an 18-year-old boy, not a 30-year-old man anymore. Calling her ‘sister’ would make approaching her easier, he thought.
The genius lady snapped back from zoning out. She looked up at his face before lowering her head again without paying any attention to him anymore.
Bai Chen got chills down his spine from locking eyes with her earlier. Her eyes were extremely icy… so icy that even his 30-year-old self could not help but freeze.
He had never expected that someone who looked like an angel when absent-minded would become an ice queen upon looking.
But he managed to calm down quickly. Bai Chen took a deep breath and said to himself softly in his heart, ‘I need to get this done and go home quickly. Looks like this pretty girl is not in a good mood.’
“If you won’t say anything, then I’ll just take a seat,” Bai Chen said without waiting for her to speak a word or raise her head to look up again. He did not choose to sit next to her but left an arm’s -length of distance for fear that it would anger her if he got close.
The genius lady did not pay attention to him at all. She just sat there, looking down at the grass, her mind filled with sadness.
After she had woken up, she found that her vision got blurry wherever she looked.
She tried putting on her glasses, but they did not help at all, so she went to the famous hospital of Xing Zhou City to get her eyes checked.
After consulting a renowned physician, she learnt that both of her eyes were losing their vision. Putting it in simple terms, she was about to go blind.
The only way to cure this was to have an organ transplant, which she did not at all want, though the physician said someone had donated their eyeballs before passing away.
The reason for her refusal was because she did not want to change the eyes her parents had given her, even though that meant not being able to see again.
This woman seriously did not want to have an eye transplant!
This matter made her so depressed and down-spirited that she could not carry on working. She stopped everything she had been doing and went out for a change of atmosphere at Xing Xiang Park.
‘In one week, I’ll lose my ability to see. What should I do?’
The genius woman thought to herself with sadness. Her angelic face was painted with sorrow. Even the grass in front of her right now looked blurry.
“Sister, what are you doing here?” While she was beside herself with sadness, the woman heard the voice of the stranger who was sitting next to her. She turned to look at him a little but paid no attention to him all the same.
She thought that this young man was just trying to hit on her like the ones before him.
It was clearly not the first time she had experienced this, but it had been recurring quite often. Every time she would pretend not to notice.
Bai Chen was not at all surprised that the genius woman did not pay attention to him. He knew very well that this was what usually happened when people were approached by strangers. They would act in this very same manner. The worst-case scenario would be to call the police on them.
He pondered things for a while, trying to find a way to give her the magic glasses. If he just gave them to her out of the blue, she might not take them. Besides, that would seem suspicious.
Suddenly, it was like a lightbulb went off in his head. Bai Chen immediately came up with a plan. He turned to look at the genius lady. Even while turning her profile to him, she still looked unwaveringly beautiful.
“Sister, do you want to have your fortune told? I’m very good at it.”
This time she would not even look at him. The woman kept looking down without taking her gaze off the grass in front of her. Her beautiful eyebrows, however, furrowed, showing her dissatisfaction towards this boy who was trying to court her.
Bai Chen did not care much about her attitude because he knew how he was going to play this. He believed that the success rate would be 100% with this one!
He stood up and said casually, “Too bad you’re not interested, sister. I saw a sorrowful aura coming off you, so I wanted to help a little.”
After having said that, he turned around and gradually walked away while mumbling softly, “Too bad this pretty lady is going blind.”
His voice made the flawlessly beautiful body of the genius lazy shudder violently. She looked up right away.
Her eyes were fixed on the back of the boy who was walking away. She cried out at the top of her lungs, “Stop!”
Her loud voice made Bai Chen halt. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. It was obvious that this had been part of his plan all along.
