Chapter 425 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 2
Seeing her swaying and looking like she might fall at any moment, Pei Lin reached out to support her elbow again and said, "I don't mean to blame you, but you bumped into something so hard and hit your head, you need to get it checked out."
"I was in the accident, so I'm also responsible. I'll pay for the damages."
Zhao Qian: ???
Where are the businessmen we were promised?
Pei Lin only noticed the girl's poverty and knew that she would definitely not be willing to pay for her own check-up.
But a head injury could be a minor or major problem, and the girl didn't seem to be in good health. He would feel guilty if something really happened to her.
Since he happened to be there, he decided to do a good deed that day.
The Pei Group usually does a lot of charity work, so giving a little girl a full-body checkup is nothing compared to what they do.
Yun Qing broke free from his hand again, waving her hands repeatedly, "No need, really no need, I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Then she squatted down and picked up the glasses. One of the lenses had fallen off, but it wasn't broken. She skillfully put the lens back on, put the glasses on, and then, with her head down, tried to slip away again.
But Pei Lin pulled her back.
Yun Qing was dizzy and disoriented. As soon as she was caught, she felt that she was going to be in trouble. Just as she was about to apologize again, Pei Lin had already let go of her.
She then noticed a puddle of water on the ground in front of her.
Someone filled a paper cup with water and was heading to the other side of the chair when someone bumped into them, spilling the water.
If Pei Lin hadn't pulled her back, the water would have splashed right on her.
After realizing that the person had kindly helped her, Yun Qing quickly thanked him, "Thank you, I'll be going now."
She had barely taken a step when Pei Lin pulled her back.
A middle-aged man pushing an elderly woman in a wheelchair brushed past her and rushed towards the elevator, shouting urgently, "Wait a minute!"
Yun Qing: ...
She bowed to him and thanked him again, "Thank you so much, I..."
She tentatively stretched out her feet, but before she could say she wanted to leave, Pei Lin pulled her back two steps.
A child was throwing a tantrum nearby, throwing his ice cream, which landed right where she had just stood.
Zhao Qian: ...
This is truly an eye-opening experience of bad luck!
Although none of them are life-threatening, being so unlucky and having all sorts of accidents happen all the time can really drive a person crazy.
Looking at it this way, this little girl is just a bit gloomy, but she's already very strong to have grown up like this.
After realizing what was happening, Yun Qing was about to bow three times to Pei Lin, "Thank you..."
Pei Lin reached out to help him up, "It was nothing, don't bow, you'll get dizzy in a bit."
Pei Lin's gaze fell on her face, but because Yun Qing's bangs were too thick, he couldn't see what was going on on her forehead, so he could only ask, "Is there a bump on your forehead?"
Yun Qing reached out and touched it; indeed, there was a large lump that hurt when touched.
Perhaps because Pei Lin didn't seem to be trying to make things difficult for her and even helped her repeatedly, she wasn't in such a hurry to run away anymore. "It's okay, I just bumped into something, it'll be fine on its own."
Her eyes were still glistening with tears of pain, making her look pitiful, yet she seemed completely used to it.
Pei Lin felt a little uncomfortable. This girl looked a few years younger than his troublesome, spoiled cousin. What kind of life was she living?
Are you an adult?
Yun Qing didn't know why he asked this, and blankly held up two fingers, "I'm already twenty."
"It's good that you're an adult now. Come on, let's go get checked out."
Yun Qing took two steps back in resistance, "I'm not going, I'm really fine."
"I have experience. I'm just unlucky, I won't die."
She was worried that taking advantage of others would lead to serious trouble.
Seeing that she was about to slip away again, Pei Lin quickly said, "Don't run away!"
Seeing her resistance, Pei Lin didn't want to force her any further, fearing that she might run away and end up with a bloody head.
He glanced at the fruit basket Zhao Qian was carrying, tore open the transparent packaging, took out a large, red apple, and handed it to her, saying, "As a token of my apology."
"It's just an apple, it's not worth much."
He noticed that Yun Qing had been secretly glancing at the fruit basket many times.
Yun Qing's eyes behind her glasses brightened instantly, but when she looked at the fruit basket that had been beautifully packaged but was now half-empty, she wondered how she could possibly deliver it to a patient.
Seemingly sensing what she was thinking, Pei Lin said gently, "It's alright, we're family, they won't mind."
Yun Qing then reached out and took the apple, saying softly, "Thank you."
She seemed to be in a much better mood; her previously dull and gloomy eyes were now sparkling, revealing a touch of cuteness.
Pei Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly; she was so easily satisfied.
He handed her a business card, saying, "If you feel unwell later, just give me a call, and I'll take responsibility."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
What responsibility are you going to take? Are rich people really that stupid?
He looks quite shrewd!
She stared at Pei Lin's face for a while, and as she stared, her eyes became somewhat glazed over.
Whether she's clever or not is another matter, but she's really good-looking!
Pei Lin raised his hand and waved it in front of her, amused, and said, "Take the business card."
Yun Qing snapped out of her daze. "Ah? Oh, okay."
She quickly lowered her head and reached out to take the business card.
If Yu You were here, she would have noticed that when Yun Qing took the business card, a small wisp of purple energy peeked out and brushed against her hand, then "ran away from home" and wrapped around her wrist like a bracelet.
"Thank you so much, I'll be going now."
Pei Lin reminded him, "Don't run so fast, be careful, and remember to buy some medicine to apply to the injury on your forehead."
Yun Qing nodded, then finally managed to walk away with the apple.
Pei Lin watched her walk away safely before turning his gaze away. "Let's go."
Pei Lin came to the hospital to visit his cousin, who had apparently fallen and broken his leg at a bar.
Zhao Qian knocked on the door and received a response. When he pushed open the ward door, Jiang Yao was playing on his phone, showing great determination despite his disability.
He looked up and saw Pei Lin with a stern face, which startled him so much that he dropped his phone.
"Cousin...cousin...why did you trouble yourself to come see me amidst your busy schedule?"
He used to sit upright on the bed, but now he tries his best to sit up straight.
Pei Lin looked at him without saying a word, his expression anything but gentle, which made Jiang Yao feel uneasy.
His cousin was always the "model child" since he was a child. He made all the other kids his age look bad and they were often beaten up because of him.
Jiang Yao is the biggest victim!
When I was little, I didn't know any better and even disliked my cousin because of this, wanting to teach him a lesson.
He and a few henchmen wanted to beat someone up, but they ended up getting beaten up themselves. After they got home, they were even double-beaten by their parents.
After what happened, Pei Lin should have been less welcoming to him, but instead, Pei Lin treated him even better.
However, his parents would occasionally get angry because of Pei Lin's concern for him, which reminded them of the time when he had even tried to lead a group to beat up Pei Lin.
Then they'll punish him again for this old incident, to teach him a lesson he won't forget.
By then he was a bit more sensible, and although he got beaten up for it, he felt embarrassed to dislike his cousin anymore because he remembered how good his cousin had been to him.
It wasn't until he grew up that he realized something was amiss and that every time he was suddenly beaten by his parents, it was after he had upset his cousin.
It's truly terrifying to think about!
Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated when facing Pei Lin.
Feeling pressured by Pei Lin's gaze, he glanced away, chuckled awkwardly, and started making conversation, "Oh dear, why is this fruit basket so ugly? Can the fruit even taste good?"
Zhao Qian, who rewrapped the fruit basket: ...Did I wrap it up badly?
Pei Lin frowned, his tone stern, "You're being picky after being given food? You don't know how lucky you are! Don't you know there are people who don't have enough to eat or wear?"
Jiang Yao: Huh? Who is it?
He didn't dare to speak, he didn't dare to ask, he could only obediently accept the scolding with a head full of question marks.
Pei Lin frowned and looked at him, saying, "You're about to graduate, it's time to do something productive. If you don't want to go to your dad's company, you can come to Pei's Group. Don't just idle around all day and cause trouble everywhere."
Jiang Yao couldn't help but protest his innocence, "I really didn't cause any trouble this time! I was just unlucky and tripped and fell."
Pei Lin's tone turned stern again, "You call this bad luck? All you do is complain and blame others. Can't you think more positively!"
Jiang Yao: ...I tripped and fell for no reason and broke my bone. Aren't I unlucky?
Was it just his imagination? Why did he feel like he'd walked right into a trap?
