Chapter 961: Mind Reading Skills
etreated to the Palace of Pure Maidenhood, and your mother died. Two-thirds of the family fortune vanished into thin air. It's certain that those who had long considered these riches theirs would be i...When the Ripple returned to the Time-Space Management Bureau, it put DuoDuo and Feng back into space, and also distributed some of its own merit points to the two. The flower and beast were overjoyed.
Ripple rested for three days again before entering a new body. This time, an ordinary-looking boy stood before her, his mouth moving as he spoke:
"Ripple, I'm a bit tight on money lately so I'm not going to rent a place outside. With finals coming up, I also quit my part-time job. So I won't be sharing the rent with you anymore."
The ripples could feel that the original being was a little unhappy at this time, so she also frowned and said:
"Why didn't you tell me in advance At least let me have some time to prepare."
“This isn't because I'm thinking about the exam coming up, you should also focus on reviewing. I guess you won't be renting a house anymore, so I didn't tell you in advance. Besides, I mentioned before that after the part-time job ends, we wouldn't rent outside anymore. It wouldn't look good if classmates saw us.”
The boy across from him seemed displeased with the ripples, so his tone was a bit harsh.
"Okay, I got it! I'm busy right now, I'll go back to the house and pack things up later."
Ripples frowned, then without waiting for a reply, turned and left. Because just now, the boy's eyes kept glancing at the top of her head, she didn't know what he was looking at.
Li Gang watched as Luo Lianyi turned and left, his eyes flickering, his lips moving slightly as he murmured:
Why isn't it working anymore What was she thinking just now
Leaving Ripple turned and looked around before settling on a random fast food joint. She patted her pockets, ordered a beef noodle soup, then settled in a corner to start receiving the memories of her original body.
Her original name was Luo Lianyi, a sophomore at Linshi University who came from an ordinary county town. Her family situation was average; both parents were ordinary workers, and she had a younger brother and sister.
Although there was no preference for sons over daughters in the family, her younger brother received more parental love. In order to leave that small county town, the original owner knew from a young age that as the eldest child, she only had the path of studying hard.
So after finishing compulsory education, the tuition for high school was all from summer jobs she saved up herself. She never asked her family for money for tuition, and because the original body had good grades, she received scholarships every year. That's how she successfully finished high school and, through her own efforts, got into Lin City's Finance University.
Going to college was different from high school, especially since the original owner went out of town. Besides tuition, everything else cost money. This time, her parents didn't stop their daughter from pursuing further education.
They also have their own plans. Their daughter got into a good university in the big city, and after graduation, she has a chance to stay there for development. In the future, she might even bring her younger siblings along. So this time, they took out their own savings and borrowed some from their neighbors and friends.
Neighbors and friends, seeing that the original owner was a college student and would surely have a promising future, lent him some money, pooling enough to cover his first year of tuition and living expenses. Then, the original owner went to Linshi to attend university.
The original body also knew that her parents had really tried their best this time, so she didn't have any complaints. After a month of entering school, the original body adapted to the environment and then applied for part-time work-study through the counselor.
The teachers at the school are also very responsible. They know that some college students come from families who are truly struggling, and that in some places, it takes the entire village to support one college student. These children carry the hopes and expectations of their whole villages on their shoulders.
So they were all very sensible and tried their best to earn tuition through their own efforts. The teacher then found a library clerk position for the original owner, working the night shift, which made the original owner very satisfied.
It can both make money and read books, and it won't take up too much of her study time. When no one borrows a book from her, she can learn on her own.
And Li Gang was also someone the original self met at that time. The other party was a college student from their neighboring county. Both of them were facing the same problem, and Li Gang also wanted to work hard and study diligently. Two people who had similar experiences came together like this.
Actually, the original person didn't have much affection for Li Gang. She just wanted to find a sense of security in a strange city. At most, they were just seeking comfort in each other's company.
As Li Gang's girlfriend, the original owner was still quite competent. During their sophomore year, when the two of them moved out of the dormitory to rent a place to make extra money, the original owner took care of all the housework, including laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
Li Gang enjoyed all of this with a sense of justice, yet he still paid half the rent as the original tenant. He kept accounts very clearly. The original person was strong and also felt that this was good, so the two lived together for a year.
The situation took a turn at the end of this year's semester. When Li Gang was setting up his stall in the antique market, he unexpectedly received a delicate ivory tower. Although it was only five inches tall, the intricately carved ivory piece was sold for a low price by the seller with poor eyesight.
Li Gang originally wanted to buy low and sell high, making a profit for himself. However, because he was too excited, while holding the ivory tower sculpture, the top of the tower cut his palm. At the time, he didn't think much of it, but the next day when he woke up, he had the ability to read minds.
To be precise, he could see what others were thinking. These thoughts would turn into words and appear above their heads.
"No wonder he's staring at the top of my head."
The ripples murmured to themselves.
After acquiring this skill, Li Gang experimented for several days and then began to explore its potential. He discovered that using this skill in sales was the best application because he could accurately grasp what customers were thinking.
Who is truly buying things and who is just browsing, this gave him a good guarantee for making sales. During the month-long promotional season, he earned twice as much as others.
This made him overjoyed, feeling like he was the chosen protagonist, gifted with this skill by fate. His future was undoubtedly bright, so his current girlfriend suddenly seemed beneath him.
After all, Luo Lianyi's family background was average, and her appearance was at most considered pretty. Although she had good academic performance, there were many beautiful girls with good grades. She felt she deserved better, so she found an excuse to move out of the shared apartment and gradually distanced herself from the original owner.
At first, the original person felt quite baffled. After all, they were officially in a relationship, but she was dumped out of the blue. Feeling wronged, she went to look for him several times, wanting to clear the air.
Li Gang found it troublesome and simply avoided the situation. After three times, the original body was also annoyed and ignored him again, continuing to do its own thing. During the holidays, he didn't go back to his hometown but continued working in Lin City.
When I saw Li Gang again at the start of our junior year, I almost didn't recognize him. He had changed so much! He was wearing a high-end shirt and trousers, expensive leather shoes, and even gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He looked like a complete nerd. And to top it all off, he had Luo Papan, our finance department's flower, by his side.
These things had nothing to do with Luo Lianyi originally, but for some reason, after Li Gang and Luo Papan talked, the latter started targeting the original owner.
Soon rumors spread among them, saying that the original body was relentlessly pursuing Li Gang and even offering herself to him. For a time, the original body was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.nes.When the ripples returned to the top of the canyon, the children were still asleep. Only the boy at the front slept restlessly, his brow furrowed tightly, as if he had been having a bad dream.Liàn...
