Chapter 4 - Scumbag

Yu Shi Lan straightened her body and took a few deep breaths before she started walking again. She had taken the medicine before coming here, but it seemed that her fever was quite severe.

Was it this bad in her first life?

She didn't know.

But no matter what, Yu Shi Lan stopped in front of a restaurant and walked inside. "Boss, I would like a buy a bowl of porridge and a takeaway of two bowls of chicken porridge."

"Yes."

She took out the money to pay and handed it over to the store owner. This was a small store with only one employee or perhaps he's the owner. No matter which one it is, Yu Shi Lan didn't pay much attention and sat down.

Soon, the food was served and Yu Shi Lan quickly ate the porridge. 

Considering her stomach's condition, Yu Shi Lan knew very well that she wouldn't be able to eat anything hard to digest for a while.

'But when the earthquake happen, it'll be hard for her to find food that are easy to eat. Moreover, that following thing also happen…'

Yu Shi Lan rubbed her forehead as she quickly finished her food. Her stomach was already protesting, signaling that she shouldn't eat more. 

A cultivator also needed to replenish their energy and in the early stage, their main energy had to come from their food. Ordinary food without trace of Qi like this was far from enough, but Yu Shi Lan could deeply feel how disappointing her body's condition was.

If she had been strong enough, she wouldn't have suffered so much.

'Calm down, Shi Lan.'

Being able to come back in time had already shown that she might be able to make some changes. Even if this change might not be what she truly wanted, she had to try.

"Yo, isn't this the useless girl Yu Shi Lan?"

"Oh, the poor girl who's coveting the rich?"

Yu Shi Lan's face twisted when she heard the voice from behind as she saw three girls walking to the store. They were dressed fashionably, but their thick makeup was really disgusting, especially for 17 years old girls like them.

They were all still young, but they only knew how to dress up…

Well, Yu Shi Lan was not surprised. 

These girls often stayed out and skipped school because of various reasons. She herself didn't know the details, but she knew that these girls often made trouble for her.

Just because she's an orphan and there were no one who would back her up even if she was bullied. 

Yu Shi Lan ignored them and finished her meal. She stood up and planned to leave, but the leader snorted. 

"Hey! Can't you hear me talking to you, you little mute?" 

Yu Shi Lan still didn't answer.

Seeing that the girl was about to leave while ignoring them, she continued her output, "An unwanted child who only knows how to seduce people. Are you not speaking because you can't defend yourself in shame? Such a person is staying in the same school as us, which is really embarrassing…"

"If you don't know how to speak, you should not speak." Yu Shi Lan finally looked at the girl coldly.

She could remember the countless humiliations that this girl made to her in her first life. Every single word was hurtful, but she never realized that she was actually being used by others.

"It's all your fault!" The girl didn't hesitate and punched forward and Yu Shi Lan avoided it by moving her body to the side slightly.

Swish!

She moved forward and pressed a finger on the girl's arm and then retreated.

Living a miserable life for such a long time, it was impossible for Yu Shi Lan not to learn anything to defend herself.

The weak has their own of survival.

If they couldn't win through strength, they had to use other methods.

The girl felt deep pain in her hand and screamed in pain. Crouching on the ground, she held her arm and sweats broke out of her forehead.

"What did you do?" The girl yelled in panic and anger.

Her two friends were also panicking and crouched down to see her situation.

Yu Shi Lan looked at the girl calmly but didn't answer and planned to leave this small restaurant. It was truly bad luck for her to bump into these people when she only came out to eat.

"Yu Shi Lan, why do you hurt your classmates?" A young man was standing at the door, looking at Yu Shi Lan with disappointment in his handsome face.

"Young Master Lian!" The two girls looked like they had seen a savior. "You have to save Su Qing Lian! She dared to hurt her so badly and she's really a bad girl!"

"Yes! Don't be so infatuated with her anymore!"

Young Master Lian.

He was her step brother's friend and also one of her source of pain when she was in the school back then. 

Because of his family background and appearance, he was basically the idol of many girls in the school. But this man suddenly came to pursue her with great fanfare, which made Yu Shi Lan overwhelmed.

Rather than moved, she was more confused.

And the women around were also looking at her with full of hostilities because of his action.

Yu Shi Lan never agreed.

But it would be a lie if she said that she was not moved at all when she saw his full scale pursuit.

She was thinking whether she should accept it.

Even though many girls were jealous and made things difficult for her, but she was not good at rejecting the other party. 

At least, that was until she overheard his conversation a few days ago.

The pursuit was nothing more than a bet that he made with his friend and a cover used for him to talk with his real girlfriend to protect her from the crazy fan girls.

Ah… what a scumbag.
