Chapter 1002: RATHER DIE
AFTER Shen Ji Yun, it was Luo Yan's turn. The old grandma asked for his birthday and time of birth, since he didn't know the time of birth of 'Luo Yan', he decided to give his time of birth. Everything was going well until the grandma looked at his palm.
The moment she did, a deep crease immediately appeared on her forehead. It was like the expression of someone who suddenly encountered a problem that only had a weird answer.
It was only belatedly that Luo Yan realized why the other was acting this way. The time of birth he gave was his instead of 'Luo Yan'. Meanwhile, this body, which was not originally his, would obviously show a different fortune that would not match his time of birth. This would undoubtedly make the fortune teller grandma confused.
He tensed. What if the other discovered that his body was not originally his and then accused him of being some kind of evil spirit? They were in a very crowded temple fair. The fortune telling booths here were not enclosed; they were open for everyone to look into. It was very easy for someone to just raise their phone and started recording.
Although talks about possession and evil spirits were not something people would readily believe, it could still attract attention. With his and Shen Ji Yun's looks, he wouldn't even be surprised if it became a hot topic on Weibo. And that's not just him being narcissistic. contemporary romance
With how they closely resembled their avatars in Arcadia, a lot of people who would possibly watch this would-be video would definitely give more attention to it because of that. More attention could only be equal to trouble.
People might not believe what the grandma fortune teller said at first, but there would definitely be some who would. And it wouldn't take long for those few to increase as days passed by. He could already imagine how bad it would get and how it could affect his family.
Luo Yan clenched his fists that were on top of his lap. He decided to tell the grandma that there's no need to tell him about his fortune. But when he was about to do that, Shen Ji Yun had already spoken before him.
"Is there something wrong?" the other asked, his voice tinged with worry.
He probably thought that something was wrong because of how long it was taking for the grandma to answer. Especially since it didn't take that long when she was giving him his fortune. Not to mention the other's expression right now. It's no wonder Shen Ji Yun would get worried.
"Hmmm... not wrong, but strange," the grandma said. "You have two fortunes heavily contrasting each other. It's the first time I've seen something like it."
Luo Yan let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. Because from what she said, she's not really suspecting him of being an evil spirit or thinking that he was only possessing this body. Maybe even among fortune tellers, the idea of a soul possessing another person's body was also a bit absurd.
But from what she said, he could also surmise that the reason she took her time to answer was because of what he had already guessed in prior.
"Can you tell me those two fortunes?" he asked.
He should have probably stopped here to avoid any possible trouble. But since he confirmed that the grandma hadn't suspected him of being some kind of evil spirit, he might as well listened to what kind of fortune, or in this case, fortunes, did she see.
"If you want to hear it, then, of course. But you must brace yourself because one of them is not as good as that of your friend here," she said with a hint of warning.
"It's okay, I still want to hear it."
"Then, I'll start. Both fortunes spoke of great tragedy in your childhood. Losing people very important to you. One fortune showed that all the suffering you experienced will be paid ten times more with unprecedented blessings. You will have great success not only in life but also in love. You will marry the love of your life and have a family of your own.
"The other one, on the other hand, was... well, there was nothing. As if having your life cut off at a young age. It's—"
"Stop. There's no need to hear more," Shen Ji Yun suddenly said, cutting off the rest of what the fortune teller was about to say.
He then left money on her table and then pulled Luo Yan away from the booth.
His whole body exuded coldness, which was probably why anyone who was blocking their path got out of the way. But contrary to his outer appearance, his insides were boiling. With anger? With irritation? He didn't even know. He just knew that he didn't like what he heard.
When that fortune teller said that Luo Yan would marry the love of his life and would have a family of his own, he honestly felt gutted. Because wouldn't that mean that Luo Yan would have married some woman and had children with her?????????????????.??????
But that did not compare to what he felt when that fortune teller basically said that Luo Yan would die young. It's like a storm of emotions raged inside, threatening to engulf him. He truly wanted to shake that fortune teller and tell her to take back what she had just said.
He could live with the fact that Luo Yan would be with someone in the future. Well, maybe not really live to the full extent of the word, but just exist. As long as the other was happy, he could take it. But the thought that he would just be... gone?
He would rather die than live in a world where there was no Luo Yan.
"Brother Ji Yun... Brother Ji Yun, stop!"
Luo Yan's call halted Shen Ji Yun's footsteps. But he didn't let go of the other and just stood there.
