When they left the university, Yang Lan looked at the yellow talismans in her hand, and then exchanged a dismayed look with Zhen Yu.
On their way, the two of them looked carefully at the talismans countless times. Yang Lan had seen countless similar yellow papers at the fortune-telling stalls on the streets. Yang Lan stared at them for a while more and realized that the only difference was that the drawings didn’t look the same. In any case, she couldn’t understand them.
But Yang Lan didn’t mind.
When she was younger, she really believed once, and went to a fortune teller to calculate her marriage fate.
The divination said that she would meet her true match that year and that her marriage would be incomparably smooth. What happened after that?
She ran into a scumbag.
Later on, in order to make that scumbag change his mind, she bought a lot of Awakening Marriage Affinity Talismans from a fortune teller’s stall, but what happened when she brought them back?
It was useless. That scumbag continued to cheat on her and hit her!
What incomparably smooth marriage? It was all just glib lies.
After meeting countless scumbags, she believed in fortune telling even less.
Every time she saw fortune tellers on the streets, she would think that they were swindlers.
Yang Lan subconsciously wanted to throw away these talismans, but she also felt that Shuyan had good intentions! After all these years, she had cast aside her original naivete and lived more and more selfishly. She forgot how to be good to others as well as how it felt for others to be good to her.
Yang Lan’s eyes were incomparably complicated.
Zhen Yu saw Yang Lan’s conflicted thoughts and said, “Yang Lan, what are we going to do with these talismans?” Zhen Yu’s heart softened a bit and she said, “Although these two talismans were probably bought from some swindler, I think Shuyan is kind enough to care about us! It’s just that these talismans are too… too expensive!” At the end of her sentence, Zhen Yu gulped.
She really thought that Shuyan was a good person and was concerned about them. Unfortunately, someone had lied to her. Just thinking about how this piece of yellow paper cost 30,000 yuan, she felt reluctant; her family background might be okay, but it was only at a modest level.
Yang Lan’s heart was already wavering. Hearing Zhen Yu’s words, she made up her mind and gave her one of the talismans. “We’ll each have one of these talismans. Although it’s a piece of scrap paper, it indeed contains good intentions. It’s fine to treat it as a small gift.”
Zhen Yu actually didn’t want this talisman. Although it was a useless piece of paper, how could she dare take it when she thought about how it cost 30,000 yuan?
Yang Lan said, “Take it as a gift from me; you don’t have to pay me for it.”
Only then did Zhen Yu take it and put it in her pocket.
Next to her, Yang Lan also casually stuffed the talisman into her pocket.
The university had been closed for military training recently. It was rare for them to be able to come out in the afternoon, so Yang Lan and Zhen Yu were in a good mood. The two of them walked down Nan’an Street and visited many clothing shops.
They were about to go to a milk tea shop on the other side of the road to have some milk tea.
The two had just crossed the road when a crazed-looking woman suddenly appeared in front of them, holding a bucket of some unknown substance. She splashed it directly at Yang Lan and cursed, “B*tch, you stole my man, I’ll send you to hell!”
Yang Lan and Zhen Yu didn’t react at all at that moment. The other party was fast. When Yang Lan and Zhen Yu realized that they had been splashed with gasoline, their faces changed drastically and were filled with horror!
Yang Lan, in particular, was drenched in gasoline. Seeing the woman throw a lighter over, Yang Lan was so scared that her face turned pale. Her eyes almost split open with terror. She stared in horror at the lighter and screamed, “No!”
