Bab 52: Ch. 2: Miss, I've Learned Divination!
"What's the matter? Why the nervous and tense look? It's my birthday!"
Zhang Yumeng's voice grabbed Jiang Churan's attention.
Zhang Yumeng was one of Jiang Churan's best friends. She had long blond hair in a ponytail tied by a dark blue ribbon. She had dark pink eyes and was shorter than Jiang Churan.
She wore a long-sleeved dark blue top that showed her shoulders and a pink skirt that stopped at her knees; her top had a pink ribbon in a butterfly knot. She also wore pink high heels with laces.
"Ah?! No, nothing bad. It's just that Chen Fan will come," Jiang Churan replied.
"Chen Fan? The son of your mom's friend, right? The one your mom wants you to marry?" Zhang Yumeng asked curiously.
Jiang Churan nodded, and Zhang Yumeng scrutinized her for a moment.
"Hmmm… it seems that you're not strongly against it."
"Well, I'm still conflicted. I haven't gotten to know him better yet. In addition, I have made a bad impression on him…"
Zhang Yumeng was curious about Chen Fan after seeing Jiang Churan's reaction. She knew her best friend well, so it made her curious that a man could turn her like this. Jiang Churan didn't seem to be this restless when Li Yichen, the son of the mayor, tried to hit on her. "What does he look like? What does his family look like?"
Jiang Churan blinked and became annoyed. She stood up and started poking Zhang Yumeng's head while resting her other knuckle on her waist. "You little golddigger, only caring if a guy is handsome and has money."
Zhang Yumeng stood up from her seat and backed away to avoid Jiang Churan's finger. She crossed her arms under her breasts and pouted while averting her eyes. "Why is that so bad? In this society, what use is a man without a handsome face or a rich and powerful family to me?"
Jiang Churan froze up and thought. 'Did I sound like that in the past?'
Zhang Yumeng's words are like a slap to her face because not long ago she had the same thoughts and beliefs. After what happened at her house that changed her so much, she has realized how shallow and laughable such thoughts and beliefs were. She hated that shallowness now, but Zhang Yumeng was her best friend, so she couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Xu Rongfei, who'd been silent so far, started talking. "Ranran, Mengmeng is being petty, but if his financial condition isn't good, it will be difficult and cause a problem between you two even though you two love each other."
Xu Rongfei had amber eyes and straight and long white hair that reached her thighs. Her figure was tall and slender, and also had charming curves.
She wore a tight black top that showed her midriff under a dark green hooded coat that stopped at her knees. She also wore a pair of shorts and sports shoes.
Xu Rongfei was very attractive. Jiang Churan always thought that Xu Rongfei was more attractive than her despite both of them being acknowledged as campus belles.
In any case, after hearing Xu Rongfei's words, Jiang Churan couldn't help but become defensive of Chen Fan and blurted out, "His financial condition is good! I heard his parents have a more successful company than my mother's in Zhonghai City!"
Xu Rongfei and Zhang Yumeng blinked in surprise. At the same time, Jiang Churan realized what she'd done and became embarrassed…and confused.
"Heeeh?" Zhang Yumeng looked at Jiang Churan with a half-lidded gaze. "Why did you become defensive suddenly? Don't tell me you're smitten by him?"
Jiang Churan's face turned red in frustration and mortification. "Who's smitten by him?! I don't have feelings for Chen Fan! Stop saying nonsense!"
"But, I didn't mention..." Zhang Yumeng suddenly trailed off and became wide-eyed; her face also became red, after which she let out a voice of astonishment. "Oh, wow!"
Jiang Churan was confused by Zhang Yumeng's odd behavior. "What? Why did you become silent—"
"Oh my, it's rude talking about someone behind his back, Ranran."
Hearing Chen Fan's voice, Jiang Churan immediately stopped talking and turned around quickly, after which she fell into a daze like Zhang Yumeng.
Xu Rongfei, who'd been enjoying her drink while listening to her two friends arguing with closed eyes, opened her eyes to see who had suddenly spoken, but she was also stunned like her two friends.
In front of Jiang Churan was a handsome man with dark blue eyes and brown hair wearing a black martial arts outfit with gold lining. This youth was none other than Chen Fan.
Even though Chen Fan didn't show his real appearance, his current look was very handsome like a supermodel. The girls, even Xu Rongfei who didn't lack handsome suitors, couldn't help but think that Chen Fan was the most handsome man they had ever seen up close.
"Che…Chen Fan?!"
Jiang Churan croaked in incredulity.
"Yes. I'm Chen Fan."
Chen Fan. He also closed his eyes and presented a dazzling smile that revealed the gleam of his white teeth.
Jiang Churan's face flushed deeply, and her heart was beating fast. Without a doubt, she was charmed by Chen Fan. However, she was also harboring confusion because of his new appearance.
'How can he be this handsome? Haven't we met in just a few days? Why is the change so drastic?' Jiang Churan asked herself inwardly.
"So, this is Chen Fan. Hmmm, no wonder you are so defensive of him, Ranran. You never told me he's this handsome."
Zhang Yumeng commented while elbowing Jiang Churan's side, bringing Jiang Churan out of her inner turmoil.
"Why do you look different?" Jiang Churan blurted out.
Right then, Jiang Churan had an unstable mental state, so she was less reserved than usual and couldn't hold her curiosity back.
In addition, she'd forgotten her plan to apologize because Chen Fan's handsome look surprised her too much.
"Different? Maybe I looked different when we met before because I was tired from traveling?"
Chen Fan's relaxed and unwavering tone made Jiang Churan doubt herself. 'Maybe he's right,' she couldn't help but agree as there was no logical explanation she could think of at this moment.
After that, Chen Fan turned to Xu Rongfei and Zhang Yumeng in turn and started introducing himself. "Hello, my name is Chen Fan. Pleased to be your acquaintance."
"Hello, handsome. My name is Zhang Yumeng. I'm a friend of Ranran. Nice to meet you."
After hearing Zhang Yumeng's friendly introduction, Chen Fan's gaze lingered on the blonde girl for a moment. Inwardly, he was a little surprised but did not let it show on his face. He thought that Zhang Yumeng would look down on him like what she did to the original protagonist in the original story, but what happened was different from what he initially thought.
'She accepted me better than how she accepted the original protagonist… Is it because of my handsome appearance? I guess this is one of the perks of being handsome.'
Chen Fan stopped thinking about that matter when he heard Xu Rongfei's introduction.
"My name is Xu Rongfei. Nice to be your acquaintance."
Chen Fan turned his head towards Xu Rongfei and then put on an intense gaze that made her feel uncomfortable. On the side, Jiang Churan wore a tense expression upon seeing what Chen Fan was doing and became angry.
"Chen Fan, stop staring at Sister Feifei like a creep!"
Chen Fan was both affronted and amused, but he didn't let it bother him. Then, he put on an apologetic face and then apologized in a tone that sounds sincere.
"Forgive me, Miss, but I've learned divination in the past, so when I saw Miss Xu, I just found something about you."
"Oh?" Xu Rongfei raised her eyebrows in curiosity.
"Even though this is the first time we've met, I found that you're an art student. In addition, you also choose to apply to the Beijing University of Film and Television and will be accepted in the future. Congratulations, I suppose. It's not easy to enter that university."
"How did you know that I wanted to attend the Beijing University of Film and Television?" Xu Rongfei blurted out.
Normally, Xu Rongfei could stay calm and collected even though she was talking with a handsome man. She was unable to explain it, but for some unknown reasons, Chen Fan could easily break her calmness with his unique temperament, charming face, and mysterious presence.
"As I said, I've learned divination in the past. You can either believe it or not. If it's correct and supposed to be a secret, then I'm sorry. It was not my intention to reveal your secret," Chen Fan apologized with a tone and expression that seems sincere.
Chen Fan's apologetic expression made Xu Rongfei feel bad like she'd just kicked a puppy. She couldn't help but get flustered.
"No. I never planned it to be a secret. I'm just surprised that you know about it. I only told my mother about what university I want to attend last night."
On the side, Zhang Yumeng was silently listening to the conversation between Chen Fan and Xu Rongfei. At first, she was ready to criticize Chen Fan. However, she stopped after hearing Xu Rongfei's indirect confirmation. 'Maybe he's just a lucky charlatan,' Zhang Yumeng thought.
Being a modern girl, Zhang Yumeng didn't believe in the supernatural mumbo-jumbo such as divination and feng shui. That's why she thought that Chen Fan was a charlatan, a lucky one because his guess was correct.
On the other hand, Jiang Churan looked at Chen Fan and Xu Rongfei with an uncomfortable expression. When she saw them talking animatedly and closely, she didn't know why but disliked it. In addition, she was confused as to why she felt like that.
