Chapter 1656: Minor Changes
Ripple replaced the original body and entered this plane when she first encountered this incident and was still in shock. Therefore, she did not avoid getting to know Jim, nor did she rescue her aunt who was destined to die. It was a bad start.
However, the two of them are just getting acquainted for the first time, and there is still a chance to make changes, and she can't cut off the contact with each other now. The two are in the same school, and the key to her regaining her identity is also Jim, so as long as she Just keep the status quo.
The next day, Ripple went to school to ask for leave. Because there was a gas leak and explosion in her residence, her only relative was gone. There were many funeral matters that she needed to deal with. Director Silan of the school's teaching office sympathized with Ripple and not only approved her leave, but also He also recommended a psychological counselor to her, hoping that she would not indulge in sadness too much.
"Thank you, Director Silan. I will go back to school as soon as possible. My aunt hopes that I can finish college. She definitely doesn't want to see me depressed."
"Good boy, you have to be strong and don't push yourself too hard."
Silan still provided comfort, and Lianyi readily accepted the other party's kindness.
In the next week, Lianyi was dealing with the funeral affairs of the house and her aunt. Fortunately, the house was insured, and after it was determined to be an accident, there was certain compensation.
On the day of Lianyi's aunt's funeral, a very gentlemanly man came to her and claimed that he was an insurance broker, indicating that she had a huge amount of insurance money that needed to be collected.
"Insurance money?"
Lianyi looked confused, she had never seen this man in her original memory.
"That's it, Ms. Yu Lianyi, your aunt Yilin Yu bought herself an accident insurance three years ago, and the only beneficiary is you."
The man immediately explained.
"My aunt never told me about this."
Ripple said with certainty.
"Maybe your aunt just wants to give you a guarantee. After all, you don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident."
Ripple took a deep breath and said:
"Since you came to me, does it mean that my aunt's death was an accident."
"Yes, after our investigation and the reports issued by the fire station and police station, it can be proved that your aunt died in an accident, so you can collect the insurance money at any time."
Ripple nodded and decided to get the money first. She was in urgent need of a new place to live and to complete her studies, so she made an appointment with the man and decided to collect the insurance money in three days.
Ripple stayed in a hotel temporarily for the past two days. She didn't want to wrong herself, and it was always inconvenient to live in someone else's house. Then she found that the symbol Jim drew for her was fading. It was estimated that when the symbol disappeared completely, she would lose the ability to avoid monsters. role.
Lianyi has also studied these symbols, which are similar to the runes in the world of cultivation, but the effect of this symbol is relatively short-lived, like a disposable talisman.
The power contained in this special rune is similar to the power of the five elements, but it is locked in the body by the rune, making the body a carrier of this power and able to control it at the same time.
She once exposed the back of her hand, and no one would ask about the origin of this tattoo-like rune. Later, when Nayi came to see her, she tentatively asked the other party, but the other party said that the back of her hand was very fair and she had not seen this at all. Rune, she thinks this world is quite interesting.
After Lianyi received a huge insurance payment, she no longer had to worry about money. After finding a new place to live, she returned to school.
On the day she returned to school, her best friend Nayi and the glasses man Liu Yuang who was with her before warmly welcomed her.
"Lianyi, why didn't you take a few more days to rest before coming to class?"
Nayi asked, blinking her big eyes.
“It’s easier to think randomly when you’re alone at home.”
Ripple explained.
"Lianyi, I heard that you have moved to a new residence. Do you need any help from us?"
Liu Yuang also asked carefully.
"Thank you, no need. I rented a renovated room with complete supporting facilities. I just need to buy some daily necessities. Nayi, will you go shopping with me to buy two sets of clothes this weekend?"
Ripple sent out the invitation at the right time. These two were the original's only friends, and she still had to maintain a good relationship.
"Okay! Okay! Absolutely no problem."
Nayi happily agreed.
Then the three of them went to the lecture theater. Today was a big class.
After the morning course, Ripple felt quite relaxed. She had read the entire book on this major and could easily pass the final exam.
After class, Ripple saw Jim waiting at the door.
The appearance of the other party caused a small commotion. After all, Jim was not their professional, and he looked like he was waiting for someone.
When Ripple saw the other party, the other party happened to look over. He waved to Ripple as a greeting. Ripple didn't want the other party to come to her in such a high-profile manner, but she still walked over.
"Why are you waiting for me here?"
Ripple asked with a frown.
Jim was choked by Ripple's question. He felt a little aggrieved. This was the first time he was disliked by a girl. He said with a straight face:
"I also wanted to contact you through other channels, but I heard that something happened to your family and you asked for leave. I couldn't contact you through the phone number left by the school, so I had no choice but to come here to find you."
Ripple thought that after the two separated in a hurry at the basketball gym, they did not leave any contact information. She knew who the other party was and where to find him, but the other party did not know her whereabouts.
When the original body was rescued, he was very grateful to the other party and left his contact information. Although he also encountered the accidental death of his aunt, the original body was more fragile, so he contacted Jim and regarded him as his emotional support. After that, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
But this time Lianyi didn't leave any contact information at all. She handled her aunt's affairs by herself. She didn't need a so-called emotional support at all, and didn't give Jim and her the opportunity to have an ambiguous relationship.
Lianyi coughed lightly and said:
"I'll tell my friend and we'll go outside to talk about things."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate."
Jim felt that the girl opposite him was a little cold to him. He was a little uncomfortable even though he had saved her, but he turned around and left after he finished speaking.
After Jim left, Nayi and Liu Yuang came to her and asked:
"Lianyi, you actually know Jim! Is that rumor true?"
"We met by chance, not very familiar, he has something to ask me."
Lianyi didn't want her friends to misunderstand, so she simply explained.
Liu Yuang said:
"But I heard that you went to the basketball hall to find him, and the two of you stayed in the locker room together for a long time."
Liu Yuang's remaining words were silenced under Lianyi's stern gaze.
Nayi punched Liu Yuang angrily and said unhappily:
"Ang, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't talk about things without basis. Did you see it with your own eyes? You don't want Lianyi to become the public enemy of all the girls in the school, right?"
"Me too. I heard it from others."
"Don't say it again in the future."
After confronting Liu Yuang, Nayi turned her head and looked at Lianyi, with a raging gossip fire burning in her eyes, and asked in a low voice:
"Lianyi, is the rumor true?"
