Time not only moves forward, but also backward.
Compared to the researchers who confirmed this scientific theory, Lin Fan still felt sorry for missing out on the Chaos Pearl.
She sat in the passenger seat of John Woo's car, sighing from time to time, which made John Woo depressed.
"It's okay. A year flies by. For Mr. Qian, a year or two is like a minute or two for us." Wu Yusen wasn't without regrets. But Lin Fan was already in this state, so he couldn't burden her any further, could he?
What Wang Fengfeng said is actually correct.
Entering that store requires a certain connection with the person. Similarly, buying something also requires a certain connection with the person.
Lin Fan didn't buy the Chaos Pearl, which proved that her destiny had not yet arrived and that thing was destined not to belong to her.
"Really?" Lin Fan looked at John Woo with suspicion, making a bitter face.
"Really? Although Elder Qian has entered a period of decline, he should have no problem living for at least another three to five hundred years. Unlike what you think, it seems he won't be around by the end of the year..."
Wu Yusen sometimes thought that Lin Fan, who knew nothing, was quite lovable. "So everyone in the institute took it very seriously, but it wasn't urgent enough."
Seeing Wu Yusen's expression, it didn't seem like a white lie, and Lin Fan felt better. "So, if that's the case, maybe after we die, Mr. Qian will still be fine?"
Hmm... now that I think about it, it seems my lifespan is in even greater danger...
"It's hard for you to say. As for me... I guess after three or four reincarnations, Mr. Qian is still alive and kicking. Haha." John Woo laughed out loud when he thought of that scene.
Lin Fan's mind flashed with the image of Mr. Qian dancing, and he also laughed.
Next time! She warned herself in her heart that she must be more cautious and never act so impulsively again.
I was lucky this time because Mr. Qian had plenty of time, but next time...it may not be the case.
"I've informed the station about the Chaos Orb's appearance. Anyone else who can enter the store will be on the lookout for it," Wu Yusen added. "It's not necessarily a bad thing, actually. At least we know what the Chaos Orb looks like, right?"
John Woo also bears a great deal of responsibility for this missed opportunity, and he has already prepared a draft of his self-criticism.
But fortunately, when he went to the store yesterday, he was wearing glasses.
Accidentally taking a picture of the Chaos Pearl was a blessing in disguise.
With Wu Yusen's comfort, Lin Fan's self-blame gradually faded.
She knew clearly that it was meaningless to spend any amount of energy and emotion on an irreversible result.
It is better to focus on the future. As long as you learn from the lesson and don't make the same mistake again, it will be worth the regret.
When we arrived at the gate of Zhao He School, lunch break was over and afternoon classes had already begun.
John Woo drove his car around to the back of the school as if he was familiar with the route, and then parked it and sent a message to Zhao He.
When the bell rang, he took Lin Fan to a fence and waited.
After a while, Zhao He ran over with a red face.
I don’t know if her face is red from exercise or from shyness.
There were two boys next to him who were probably his classmates. When they saw Lin Fan and the other man standing outside, they were not afraid of strangers and immediately started greeting them by leaning over the iron railings.
"Hey, are you Zhao He's brother?"
Most boys aged seventeen or eighteen are like naughty monkeys, and Zhao He's shy personality is actually rare.
Seeing Lin Fan standing nearby, the other one asked with a smile, "Are you my sister-in-law or my older sister? Zhao He never told us that his family members are so good-looking."
Lin Fan didn't know how to answer.
She is neither a sister-in-law nor a sister. To be precise, she is a colleague.
But saying this would easily lead to more questions. She simply smiled and said nothing.
Anyway, young people are lively and will change the topic after two sentences, forgetting what they were talking about in the previous sentence.
Lin Fan looked at Zhao He's flushed face and handed the thing directly to Wu Yusen.
She didn't mind the young man's shyness, but she was afraid that sudden approach would have a bad impact on Zhao He.
This little face was so red that it looked like the blood vessels were about to burst. Lin Fan suspected that he would faint in the next second, which was not impossible.
Do I really not need to go to the hospital for a checkup? Lin Fan muttered to himself, watching Wu Yusen hand the things to Zhao He.
"Thank you, brother." Zhao He carefully took the white box, as if he had found a treasure. He casually put the two receipts into his pocket.
"You'd better take a look." John Woo cleared his throat and reminded.
Zhao He was stunned, opened the receipt and took a look... His eyes widened like bells.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud roar from the distance, "Students over there! What are you doing? The school doesn't allow takeout! Which class are you from?"
The two naughty classmates wanted to go over to take a look, but when they heard the voice, they jumped up immediately like Monkey King seeing the Buddha.
A man grabbed Zhao He's hand and ran away.
It was too late for Zhao He to turn around and say a word, so he could only hold the things in his hands tightly and staggered as he was dragged away by the two men.
Lin Fan had the QR code on his phone open, waiting to be scanned, but the person was gone...
Seeing how scared the child is, he must be the director of the political and educational department, right?
Lin Fan sighed and put away his phone.
I didn't get my money back, and I didn't get the Chaos Pearl either... I'm not happy...
"It's okay, let's wait until school is over. Zhao He won't owe money and not pay it back." John Woo hugged the dejected Lin Fan and walked towards the car.
If he had money, he would pay for it.
Unfortunately, a baton drained him out...
He didn't even have 32 cents in his pocket right now. Luckily, meals were free at the institute, otherwise he would have to borrow money from Lin Fan just to fill up his gas tank...
After they walked away, a security guard came out from behind the railings, looked around, and found neither the student nor the delivery man. He walked away muttering to himself.
Back in the car, John Woo glanced at the fuel gauge and realized it was time to refuel...
Think about it, after school is over, it will be dinner time when I meet Zhao He. I can't let a child treat us, right?
Besides, he's also a fellow patient who's about to be drained out...
Well, I still have to borrow money from Mrs. Lin.
Ever since the Chaos Orb incident, Lin Fan had been striving to change his penny-pinching ways. With a tap on his phone, he transferred one million directly to John Woo.
Looking at Wu Yusen's expression, I suddenly understood the happiness of a rich woman. "Spend it, spend it as you like, buy whatever you want!"
John Woo looked at her happily smiling face, and for a moment he had the illusion that he was a gigolo kept by her.
Looking at the payment information on the phone, he hesitated for a moment and clicked to accept.
Borrowing a lot or a little is still borrowing. He is a grown man, but he has no money in his pocket. If he encounters any problems, it will be inconvenient.
"You say that as if you don't have to pay it back." He smiled helplessly and put the phone away. "Thanks!"
"As for you, it's okay if you don't return it." Lin Fan fastened his seat belt with a smile.
If John Woo hadn't found her, she wouldn't be where she is today.
Let alone a million, he wouldn't be reluctant to give him all the money in the card. After all, his annual salary is high, and he will have money again soon.
But she also knew that John Woo was not that kind of person.
"I appreciate your kindness." Wu Yusen smiled and turned the steering wheel. "But my annual salary is not low. Don't worry about me not being able to pay it back."
Free is the most expensive.
John Woo didn't want to ruin their relationship because of this little money, not even a slight possibility.
"Sit tight." After looking at Lin Fan who was still smiling, John Woo stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
The beads were gone, and my money was dwindling. It would have been better to just buy the beads and get reimbursed from the institute.
So, with eyes as big as bells, what is the next sentence?
