AMRWFA -Chapter 329 Approaching Mysticism

It was from that moment that Leng Hejun stopped being carefree and taking it for granted that everything in the family would belong to his elder brother, thinking he didn’t need to “work hard.”

His younger sister was already working so hard—if he still didn’t try, it would be too embarrassing!

Even if he didn’t compete with his elder brother, working a bit harder so he could help his sister would be good too.

Because of this, Leng Hejun became especially sensitive about “studying.” Whenever Ruan Yaoyao mentioned things like top students or academic achievers, he would immediately think of his younger sister Leng Pianran.

Hua Chuyao seemed to have already forgotten the name of that top student and never brought it up again.

When it was mentioned again, it was already after a “murder case” occurred at their school—the one who died was none other than that top student.

The Leng family collectively felt a chill in their hearts. Since this was a cannon-fodder character in “Boyfriend and Boyfriend”, they absolutely did not believe that Leng Pianran’s death had nothing to do with the female lead, Hua Chuyao.

If there truly was no connection, she wouldn’t be labeled as “cannon fodder” in the first place.

What made them even more uncomfortable was the unwillingness—the sense that to Hua Chuyao, Leng Pianran was just a nameless expendable character, as if she didn’t even deserve to exist.

Leng Hejun felt especially distressed.

His sister worked so hard just to gain equal standing with them—and yet she ended up dying as background detail in someone else’s “story.” He almost wanted to kill Hua Chuyao.

If the female lead died, would his sister be spared?

—

【She’s dead?】

【When Hua Chuyao heard this from a classmate, she was shocked, because she remembered seeing her just a few days ago and even asking her for study tips. How could something happen so quickly?】

【The classmate told her it seemed to be a love-related murder.】

【The first thing Hua Chuyao thought of was early romance. Early relationships really are harmful—she would never date in high school. If she ever dated, it would only be in university.】

【This is also why she only got a boyfriend after entering university.】

—

The Leng family: “????”

So their daughter/sister died just to serve as a warning to the female lead not to date in high school?

What the hell?!

Ruan Yaoyao also wanted to curse. Her niece was killed off by the plot, and on top of that, she was labeled as a “warning against early romance”—just to guide the heroine?

Don’t stop her, she wanted to destroy fate itself.

What was even more infuriating was that there was nothing more to read after that. The rest of the plot was basically about Hua Chuyao being mocked by Qi Jian, who said her admired top student was nothing special and had died fighting over a man.

“One fatal stab, straight into the chest. She was gone before the ambulance even arrived. If you go near the flowerbed now, you might still find a few blood droplets that weren’t washed away.”

Hua Chuyao glared at Qi Jian.

Qi Jian didn’t care at all and continued: “What does this teach us? That early relationships never end well. You should just focus on studying. After you get into university, you can pick any handsome guy you want.”

Shao Jing also slung an arm around Qi Jian’s shoulder in agreement: “Qi Jian is right. You should focus more on studying. Why don’t we let him tutor us?”

Qi Jian added again: “Oh right—don’t wander off alone, and stay away from jealous girls. Who knows, someone might stab you in the back. She probably died because she was alone and got targeted.”

Hua Chuyao felt a little scared. She already didn’t have many female friends, and now she became even more afraid of interacting with them. From then on, she mostly only stayed close to those two boys.

—

After leaving the movie, Leng Pianran and Hua Chuyao parted ways. But she immediately felt something was off about the atmosphere.

Looking up, she saw her parents staring at her with concern. Her eldest and second brother looked aggrieved, as if they wanted to say something but didn’t dare. Her third aunt also looked worried.

As expected, her third aunt asked:

“Do you know someone named Pan Kexin?”

Leng Pianran blinked and shook her head.

“No, there’s no one in my class with that name. Third Aunt, what’s going on?”

Ruan Yaoyao patted her head.

“Nothing. Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you. From today on, you’ll move in with me. I’ll have someone pick you up for school. At school, don’t walk alone—try to stay with a classmate. If you meet someone named Pan Kexin, don’t argue with her, just come back and tell me. Got it?”

Leng Pianran was confused.

“What about Senior Hua Chuyao? Can I still interact with her?”

“Not for now. Let’s wait until this passes,” Ruan Yaoyao said without being absolute.

The Leng family, however, directly opposed it and insisted she stay away from Hua Chuyao.

In addition, there were also two boys named Shao Jing and Qi Jian involved.

Her two brothers even arranged shifts to take turns picking her up from school.

Leng Pianran: “……”

What exactly was going on? Why was everyone so nervous?

She looked at the whole family in confusion, but no one was willing to tell her the truth.

Were they seriously suspecting her of early romance?

Now there was a new suspicious name—Pan Kexin.

But she didn’t even know who that was. How was she supposed to be “involved” with her?

Frustrated, she didn’t dare argue openly with her family, but she secretly complained to her two brothers and even tried to interrogate them.

Leng Hejun and Leng Heguang kept their mouths tightly shut.

They had signed confidentiality agreements—they didn’t want to end up “singing behind bars.”

However, they did reveal a little: that Ruan Yaoyao could “tell fortunes.”

“She just saw that person and felt she would bring you bad luck,” they said.

Leng Pianran: “????”

So it wasn’t Approaching Science—it was Approaching Mysticism?

Did her brothers think she was stupid and easy to fool?

Did her third aunt really have that kind of ability?

She had never heard of it before.

“Don’t believe it? Ask Mom and Dad.”

So in a fit of frustration, she went to test her mother Ruan Tingting.

As for her father, she didn’t have the courage.

Ruan Tingting said: “…Your third aunt… does know a bit. You’ll understand when you’re older. You’re still a minor—there are things we can’t explain.”

Leng Pianran suddenly understood.

No wonder her brothers knew and she didn’t—it was because she was still underage.

She glared angrily at her second brother, who had just come of age this year: lucky guy.

Leng Hejun awkwardly touched his nose and didn’t dare argue.

After that, Leng Pianran became extremely cautious at school.

Better safe than sorry when it comes to mysticism.

Since the whole family was taking it so seriously, it must mean she was seriously “cursed,” which explained the full security-level protection.

Although she didn’t know Pan Kexin, she used her academic connections in the student council to ask around.

Soon she got a reply: Pan Kexin was in Grade 11.

She also learned that Shao Jing and Qi Jian were connected to her as well.

Coincidentally, Pan Kexin had once been in the same class as Shao Jing. Later, after his grades improved, he moved up to Class 1, the same class as Qi Jian and Hua Chuyao.

Leng Pianran: “……”

So this was why her family wasted a movie ticket just to make her watch a movie with Hua Chuyao?

Was it because she was connected to the person who “cursed” her?

So was Pan Kexin the one who cursed her, or Shao Jing and Qi Jian?

She drew a question mark next to all their names.
