The round-faced girl finished breakfast and, as she left the restaurant, glanced subconsciously to her right. She found that the father and daughter who had been there for breakfast had already left, which made her feel somewhat disappointed. But this feeling quickly passed, after all, it was just a fleeting encounter. It was just that the father and daughter had left such a deep impression on her that it was difficult to forget them. She left the restaurant and went straight back to her hotel room. There was still a companion in the room, who had just gotten up and was applying stuff to her face in the bathroom. This was her college classmate, both of them were students at a teachers’ college. The round-faced girl was named Shen Shiyun; she was from Shanghai, while her classmate doing makeup was named Liu Xueyi; she was from Jinling. Since they were in their senior year, they had plenty of time, so they decided to travel together. They came to Luoyang this time wanting to visit the Longmen Grottoes, and they also planned to pay a visit to the White Horse Temple. Having heard that the White Horse Temple was quite effective, Shen Shiyun wanted to pray to the Bodhisattva for a turn of luck. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 Shen Shiyun had been quite unlucky since she was a child, yet she seemed to have some luck. For instance, before she was eleven, she had been kidnapped six times. The first time was when she was four, taken from her doorstep. Fortunately, she was rescued by a neighbor who recognized her. The second time was when she got lost in the vegetable market and was taken away. On the bus, her loud crying raised the suspicion of a university student who called the police and got her rescued. The third time was at the park near her house when she was abducted and was spotted by a passing traffic cop. Since her previous kidnapping had been not long ago, she was still remembered by the police. In short, she was kidnapped six times, each filled with twists and turns. Luckily, she was never actually sold. So her parents got her an amulet to wear at all times, not allowing her to take it off. Since then, she was never kidnapped again, but it seemed her luck didn’t really improve. She’d sprain her ankle walking down stairs, twist her back turning over in bed, and get hospitalized from a fish bone stuck in her throat, and so on, visiting the hospital quite a few times every year, much like a fragile university student. Of course, these weren’t the unluckiest events. The unluckiest was during her college entrance exams, on the exam day she got diarrhea. Otherwise, with her grades, she definitely wouldn’t have just gotten into a teachers’ college. Her family suggested she repeat a year, but she decided against it. Considering her luck, who knew if another year would bring a better result. This also developed Shen Shiyun’s habit of praying at temples whenever she could. "Hurry up and have breakfast, we’ve got a full schedule today." "Got it. Make sure you wait for me to return, then we’ll head out together." Liu Xueyi packed away all her cosmetics into her bag. "Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere without you." Shen Shiyun said. Hearing this, Liu Xueyi chuckled. "Your mom messaged me again this morning, told me to keep an eye on you." Shen Shiyun sighed helplessly at the mention. Ever since she was kidnapped a few times, she had to report wherever she went. If going out, she had to message her parents every few hours. Even now, in college nearing graduation, her parents still wouldn’t let her go out alone. Liu Xueyi clearly knew about Shen Shiyun’s history, feeling both amazed and amused. After Liu Xueyi went out, Shen Shiyun also took out her makeup bag and went to the sink. She would wear light makeup when going out. Looking at herself in the mirror, she touched the spot where she was kissed earlier, and the corner of her mouth turned up in a smile. That guy seemed so handsome and kind. Too bad he already had a child, otherwise, she’d definitely ask for his contact information. Thinking about this, Shen Shiyun began to apply her makeup. Liu Xueyi was quick with her breakfast; Shen Shiyun hadn’t even finished her makeup when she returned. She picked up her backpack and urged Shen Shiyun. Shen Shiyun hastily gathered her things, and the two girls left the hotel laughing and talking. "You need to watch out when walking, you almost got hit by a car yesterday. It scared me to death; if anything happened to you, your parents would probably kill me." Liu Xueyi said exaggeratedly. "It’s not as bad as you say. With my bad luck, they wouldn’t blame you." Shen Shiyun said. "The White Horse Temple is quite effective. Please seriously pray to the Bodhisattva for a turn of luck." "Turn of luck?" Shen Shiyun sighed and extended her hand. She showed that her left hand wore a Luck Turning bead, while her right hand had a Six-Character Mantra. She also had several items hanging around her neck, both gold and jade. Liu Xueyi couldn’t help but laugh at her appearance. She wasn’t gloating, just finding it all too funny. At that moment, Shen Shiyun suddenly exclaimed. "What is it?" Liu Xueyi asked, puzzled. Then they saw Shen Shiyun take a few quick steps and pick up a new model iPhone from the flowerbed. "Uh... who left a phone here?" Liu Xueyi looked around and found it strange. "This isn’t the time to talk about it. What should we do with this phone?" Shen Shiyun asked. "What else? Look around for police or a police station and hand it in." Shen Shiyun nodded. Neither of them thought to pocket the phone silently, knowing it was a valuable item, and keeping it would be unlawful and trouble if the owner tracked it down. Thus, the two of them headed to the nearest police station. After a few steps, Liu Xueyi suddenly said, "Could finding a phone mean your luck has turned for the better?" "Better how? It just creates more trouble for us; now we have to take it to the police, wasting our time." Shen Shiyun grumbled. "You’ve got a point. Finding a phone isn’t as good as finding a hundred yuan." Liu Xueyi said cheerfully. Just then, a gust of wind blew, causing them to squint instinctively. Suddenly, something slapped against Shen Shiyun’s face. She quickly peeled it off her face, and was stunned to see it clearly. It was a hundred yuan note stuck to her face. "Is this possible?" Liu Xueyi gasped in surprise. Then she realized and said excitedly, "Could it be I have the power of words coming true?" "Make me find a hundred yuan too?" Unfortunately, there seemed to be no effect. Unyielding, Liu Xueyi tried again, "Let Shen Shiyun find another hundred yuan." Yet still, nothing happened. "Enough with your fantasies. Let’s go." "Do we need to hand this hundred yuan to the police?" "I want a cup of milk tea, no, two cups, or I’ll report you." The two of them went to the nearby police station, explained the situation, and handed the phone to the police. Once they were done, they felt a weight lifted off their shoulders and were ready to continue their planned activities. After leaving the police station, they had only taken a few steps when Shen Shiyun suddenly stopped. "What now?" Liu Xueyi asked, puzzled. Shen Shiyun moved her right foot, and there beneath it was a coin.
