Dealing with a mother who is overly concerned about her daughter, it is hard to feel any animosity towards her, but only if she doesn't call you in the middle of the night asking if her daughter is having insomnia. The most important thing is that Wei Yuan isn't even sharing a bed with her daughter!
However, what is even stranger is that she called to inquire about many things regarding Han Ling, even sending money for Wei Yuan to pass on to her, yet she never asked where Han Ling was.
This is a very peculiar phenomenon. Even if Han Ling's face was burned, what does that have to do with her family? Even if she wanted to avoid everyone, no parents would reject their daughter for such a reason, right? So why does Han Ling not answer her family's calls?
Of course, Wei Yuan had no desire to delve too deeply into someone else's family matters. By the time he got up, it was already past eight o'clock. He checked his phone and saw several missed calls from Lan Xue and Liu Lei. Wei Yuan felt warm inside; it really felt nice to have the concern of friends and women.
At this point, being late for school was inevitable. However, this wasn't an excuse for Wei Yuan to skip class. Liu Haisheng was already chasing him for the new book, and the six large boxes of books he had returned were still at Gu Jing's Video Store. So Wei Yuan still needed to stop by the fat guy's shop today.
He called back Liu Lei to ask him to take a leave for him, then dialed the bank inquiry number and found out that someone really had transferred three thousand yuan to him around three o'clock yesterday. So he took out his wallet, pulled out three thousand yuan, and knocked on Han Ling's door.
When Han Ling heard the knocking, she had already woken up. She wrapped herself in a large coat and opened the door to see Wei Yuan holding three thousand yuan!
What did this guy mean by that? Under what circumstances would a man give money to a woman? Han Ling knew very well that given her current appearance, he couldn't possibly want to give her money in hopes of having a relationship with her. Did he harbor resentment and want to drive her away instead, giving her money in an attempt to kick her out?
This reflects the inner journey of a mildly autistic woman with a fear of men who has been disfigured. It is also why Wei Yuan was reluctant to have too much contact with her. The scars on her face weren't really the issue; frankly speaking, Wei Yuan had seen all kinds of ugly creatures before and had long since built up immunity. Even if someone tried to scare him, it might not work. However, he was even more afraid of a woman who carried emotional scars.
Wei Yuan could determine Han Ling's issues from their first interaction simply because he enjoyed studying these matters! In popular perception, the terms "mental illness" and "neurological disorder" are often used interchangeably, but if we use another term: psychological disorders.
In fact, everyone has different psychological disorders; for example, some people are overly arrogant while others are excessively self-deprecating—both fall under the category of psychological disorders.
Imagine someone who usually dresses sharply in a suit facing an issue that most people consider trivial; it could trigger a certain mental response in them and lead them to behave in ways that contradict their outward appearance, causing them to go crazy! So studying these things can actually be quite interesting.
Looking at Han Ling's puzzled expression, Wei Yuan felt it was better to be simple and direct: "This three thousand yuan is from your mother for me to pass on to you!"
"Why does she know I'm here? Isn't she supposed to stop caring about me?" Han Ling said, her voice choked with tears.
Wei Yuan saw the tears on her face beginning to flow slowly, and he suddenly didn't know how to comfort her. However, Han Ling wasn't going to give him that chance. After taking the money Wei Yuan had given her, she slammed the door shut, and then Wei Yuan heard something in the room getting wrecked.
The story at home was about living with a stunning beauty and eventually falling in love. Why was he so unlucky? If it were the Han Ling before her injury, wouldn't she fit the bill perfectly?
After finishing the tasks that Han Ling's mother had assigned him, Wei Yuan finally felt at ease to go out. The apartment he rented was not far from Gu Jing's Video Store. After leaving his place and walking for less than five minutes, he could already see the sign of the Video Store. However, as he walked by, he noticed that the sign announcing job openings had been hung up again: "Hiring! Living person only."
Why was that sign back up? Did that fat guy find someone to replace him so quickly?
With questions in mind, Wei Yuan slowly walked into the store and saw a voluptuous and sexy silhouette. With a slim waist that could be grasped with one hand, rounded and perky hips, and long beautiful legs, Gu Jing, who was sitting nearby watching a movie, surprisingly wasn't fixated on the screen anymore; instead, he occasionally got distracted by the girl's figure.
Wei Yuan then realized that the reason this fat guy had been so focused on watching movies before was not just because he was a film buff; more importantly, there were no beauties in the store!
Now that there was a sexy beauty with an alluring silhouette, even the usually unmovable Gu Jing was getting distracted. As Wei Yuan walked closer, he gradually found that this sultry figure seemed somewhat familiar!
Wei Yuan first walked in front of Gu Jing and waved his hand to block his line of sight. Only then did Gu Jing realize his embarrassing situation and smiled at Wei Yuan, saying, "What brings you here?"
Wei Yuan replied, "Did you find someone so soon?"
Gu Jing's gaze remained fixed on the girl's back: "It's a coincidence; she came in the night you left. Today is her first official day on the job!"
"Her salary must be higher than mine was," Wei Yuan joked.
Gu Jing smiled foolishly and said, "Hehe, treating everyone equally!"
At this moment, Wei Yuan brought the conversation back to the main topic. It turned out that after Gu Jing posted the notice about repairing the cherished Video Disk tapes, it immediately sparked heated discussions within his group. The concept of a Fan Club was accepted by the vast majority, and now Gu Jing had received nearly ten thousand yuan worth of requests for repairing cherished tapes and Video Disks. This kind of purely handmade, zero-cost business was a guaranteed profit for Wei Yuan.
Although the current number of requests might be a bit small, Wei Yuan knew that his future development would rely on the gradual accumulation of this initial ten thousand or so. Fortunately, Gu Jing had a handcart; otherwise, figuring out how to transport those old books and Video Disk tapes would have already given Wei Yuan a headache.
When he had settled everything with Gu Jing, received the money, and was ready to leave, he noticed that the girl who had been avoiding him and pretending to organize the Video Disks was now slightly visible from the side. As Wei Yuan got closer, he suddenly shouted, "What? It's you again!"
The girl had eyebrows like green willows, eyes like autumn waters, and her lips were red and alluring. She turned to look at Wei Yuan and smiled slightly. That smile seemed to carry countless charms, enough to make one fall deeply into the dimples of her smile. This person was none other than Yang Ying!
"How do you two know each other?" Gu Jing asked curiously.
Yang Ying quickly rushed over and tugged at Wei Yuan's sleeve, saying, "Oh no, it's you again! How long are you planning to follow me? I've already agreed to everything you asked!"
Suddenly, Yang Ying shot back with a remark that left Wei Yuan standing there at a loss for words, forgetting what to say entirely.
