I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 118 Xia Youran is dead again

Zhang Lingyun frowned, quickly glanced around, and said:

"There are so many people here, you shouldn't have sat down here."

But Ding Shuangshuang looked very aggrieved and said:

"You've been spending all your time with Bailu these past few days and haven't spoken to me in ages."

Zhang Lingyun could only comfort her by saying:

"The matter of Bailu has been resolved, and there won't be so many problems in the future."

Ding Shuangshuang smiled and said:

"So, can we go on a date at the gym again later?"

Zhang Lingyun quickly corrected him:

"That wasn't a date, that was training together."

Seeing that Wang Dong was about to return, Zhang Lingyun urged him again:

"You should leave now."

When Ding Shuangshuang got up to leave, she felt a little wronged.

Why can other girls be with him, while I'm treated like a mistress?

She suddenly leaned in and kissed him as if to vent her anger.

Wang Dong happened to walk back and saw this scene.

Zhang Lingyun clicked his tongue, sensing that trouble was brewing again.

He desperately wanted to turn back time and erase this memory from Wang Dong's mind.

But at this very moment—

A loud bang echoed in Zhang Lingyun's mind.

The next second, the light and shadow shattered, and the sound reversed.

Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Wang Dong say:

"I'm going to get a drink, do you want one?"

Zhang Lingyun suddenly realized that time had really gone back.

In other words, Xia Youran, who is still in high school, just died once.

Zhang Lingyun clicked his tongue anxiously, suddenly becoming tense.

Wang Dong had no idea what he was thinking, and went to get his drink anyway.

Ding Shuangshuang seized the opportunity and sat down next to him as well.

Just as Ding Shuangshuang was about to say something, Zhang Lingyun made a shushing gesture.

He quickly took out his phone and dialed Xia Youran's number.

Ding Shuangshuang saw this and angrily bit her lower lip.

She really couldn't understand, was Xia Youran really that good?

He ignored the girls around him but called her who was far away.

The call was answered quickly. Xia Youran's voice sounded somewhat hollow, as if she were walking in an empty stairwell.

Xia Youran asked curiously:

"Hey, what's up? You rarely call me at this time."

Zhang Lingyun glanced at Ding Shuangshuang, then got up and walked a little further away.

He didn't want a third person to know the secret between him and Xia Youran.

This made Ding Shuangshuang even angrier, as she felt rejected.

Zhang Lingyun walked to the window and then said:

"You Ran, you just died again."

Xia Youran stopped abruptly, stunned into silence.

"I'm still at school, how could I suddenly die?"

Zhang Lingyun tried to remain calm.

Because he knew that if he panicked...

That sense of panic would be transmitted to Xia Youran, making the girl even more uneasy.

Zhang Lingyun asked:

"What are you going to do next?"

Xia Youran replied:

"A girl in my class invited me to chat on the rooftop terrace."

Zhang Lingyun frowned and asked:

"Which girl? Are you close to her?"

Xia Youran thought for a moment and replied:

"Our relationship isn't good or bad. I ran into her when you came to my class before."

Zhang Lingyun sensed that the problem lay with this girl.

He quickly said to Xia Youran:

"I'm not by your side right now, so you have to be careful."

Xia Youran nodded vigorously and asked:

"What should I do now?"

"Never mind that girl, go back to your classroom right now."

Try to spend as much time as possible with as many people as possible.

Xia Youran nodded obediently and turned around to return along the same route.

Zhang Lingyun then said:

"Don't make it too obvious, and don't ask the girl anything, so as not to alert her."

If she asks you why you're not going, just make up a reason.

Xia Youran nodded, then asked him:

"But if that's the case, won't we never know what's really going on?"

Zhang Lingyun continued:

"No way! This matter must be investigated."

Let's discuss this properly when we get home tonight.

Hearing Zhang Lingyun say this, Xia Youran finally felt relieved.

Since following Zhang Lingyun, she felt she had found a pillar of support.

In the past, when she encountered such difficulties, she had no friends to talk to, nor could she rely on her parents.

Now, as long as Zhang Lingyun is willing to help her find a solution, she will no longer feel uneasy.

When Zhang Lingyun finished her phone call and looked back at the dining table...

They discovered that Wang Dong had returned and was sitting nervously opposite Ding Shuangshuang.

Wang Dong seemed a little confused as to why the girl had taken the initiative to sit down next to him.

Could it be that she also has a crush on me?

The more Wang Dong thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed.

So he started to repeat his old habit of trying to show off in front of Ding Shuangshuang.

"Hey! Beautiful lady..."

"Shut up!"

Ding Shuangshuang, who was sulking, yelled at Wang Dong, startling him so much that he dropped his chopsticks.

It was only then that Zhang Lingyun realized that Ding Shuangshuang had probably reserved all her remaining gentleness for him.

She showed no respect whatsoever to other boys.

Thinking about it this way, this girl is actually quite cute.

Unfortunately, he already has Xia Youran, so he can only feel sorry for Ding Shuangshuang.

-----------------

School dismissal time —

The setting sun dyed the osmanthus trees golden yellow.

Zhang Lingyun leaned against the school gate.

He put his hands in his pockets and waited for Xia Youran to come out.

A girl in a school uniform walked over, carrying a schoolbag.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead.

Her features were exquisite and striking, with slightly upturned eyes that gave her an air of natural arrogance.

Zhang Lingyun could still remember her.

On the first day, when he went to Xia Youran's class, it was this somewhat scheming girl who took the initiative to strike up a conversation and ask about their relationship.

Her name seems to be Lin Weiwei.

Lin Weiwei walked closer.

She brushed a stray hair behind her ear, a faint smile appearing on her face:

"Senior Zhang, here to pick up Xia Youran again?"

Zhang Lingyun withdrew his gaze, smiled, and nodded:

"Yeah, you just got out of school too?"

Lin Weiwei smiled and gently swayed her ponytail:

"Yeah! I always see you picking up Xia Youran. People know you're cousins, but they'd think you were a couple!"

Zhang Lingyun simply smiled and did not respond directly to that statement.

Lin Weiwei smiled and continued:

"Xia Youran and I often talk about you. I heard you're already a certified sorcerer? That's amazing."

Zhang Lingyun smiled and casually said:

"You really know how to compliment people."

"Hehe! So, do you like it, bro?"

Just as Lin Weiwei was about to flirt, a soft cough came from the school gate.

Xia Youran walked out with her schoolbag on her back.

Hearing the sound, Lin Weiwei turned around and glanced at Xia Youran.

"You Ran, you're here! I was just talking to your cousin about you. He said you're smart and beautiful, and all the boys are chasing after you."

Xia Youran smiled politely and said:

"My cousin knows my situation best; I don't need anyone else to tell him."

Lin Weiwei's smile faded slightly.

But he still maintained his politeness and waved to the two of them:

"I'll be going now, let's chat again next time."

After saying that, she hugged her books, turned around, and left.

Watching Lin Weiwei's retreating figure.

Xia Youran walked to Zhang Lingyun's side and said in a calm tone:

"What's up! You've got your eye on her? Want me to set you up?"

Zhang Lingyun smiled.

I feel like Xia Youran is a little jealous person.

She immediately felt uncomfortable whenever she saw him talking to a girl.

Zhang Lingyun took Xia Youran's hand, gently massaged it a few times, and asked:

"How was your day?"

Xia Youran enjoyed his warmth and replied:

"I don't feel any difference. Did I really die at noon?"

"Why would I lie to you about something like this?"

"Oh! By the way, the one who invited me to the rooftop terrace at noon was Lin Weiwei."

Zhang Lingyun nodded, his gaze darkening.

"There was definitely a problem."

Xia Youran tugged at his sleeve and whispered:

"Could I be overthinking it? Maybe it was just an accident, and I accidentally fell."

Zhang Lingyun shook his head, ruffled her hair, and said in an extremely serious tone:

"We can't let this go so easily."

When it comes to you, I can't ignore trivial matters.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of a problem, I must eliminate it for you.

Xia Youran looked at his serious eyes.

A profound and unforgettable warmth welled up in my heart.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before, having been alone for over a decade.

She nodded gently and hugged Zhang Lingyun tightly.

Students continued to walk out of the school gate, looking at the two people with curiosity.

Someone was muttering quietly, chuckling softly.

Their eyes looked strange.

Zhang Lingyun quickly shook Xia Youran:

"Release your grip! Someone will see us."

Xia Youran stubbornly refused to let go:

"Go ahead and watch if you want! I just like you anyway."

Zhang Lingyun had no choice but to relax and stroked her long hair, saying:

"Let's go to the potion shop. I need to pick out a potion for you."

The two rode their motorcycle to the Golden Rose Potions Shop.

Upon seeing Zhang Lingyun enter, the sales assistant immediately greeted her warmly:

"Junior, what do you want to buy today?"

Zhang Lingyun glanced at the counter and said:

"I need a bottle of [Hypnotic Potion]. It doesn't need to be of a very high level; just enough to hypnotize an average person will do."

The sales assistant nodded.

He glanced at Xia Youran again and smiled maliciously.

I thought to myself, "These young people these days really know how to have fun!"

She turned and went into the inner room, where she retrieved a bottle of purple potion:

"This is a three-circle spell configuration, which is basically useless for [formal warlocks]."

However, hypnosis is very effective against those below the "trainee" level.

However, I must warn you that you should not use it casually, and even more so, not for illegal purposes.

I only recommended it to you because you're a member.

Warlocks and witches are not law-abiding beings, so this is just a process.

These words are less of a warning and more of a disclaimer.

Zhang Lingyun took the bottle of potion, looked at the label on the bottle, and nodded with great satisfaction.

After returning home—

Xia Youran took off her leather shoes and was just about to take off her stockings when...

Zhang Lingyun hugged her from behind and then dragged her to the sofa.

Xia Youran gently patted him:

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Lingyun gently kissed her forehead:

"You know what? I was terrified at noon today."

Xia Youran smiled and comforted her:

"Oh! Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Zhang Lingyun continued kissing him, saying intermittently:

"But this is the first time that you have suddenly died while I was away from you."

At that time, I felt powerless to change anything, and I was afraid that I really couldn't change history.

Xia Youran cupped his face in her hands.

The first time I saw those eyes, I was actually filled with lingering fear.

Xia Youran was deeply moved:

"I don't want to leave you either."

Xia Youran hugged his head tightly and pressed it against her chest, as if she were feeding a baby.

Half an hour later, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

The two were lying on the sofa.

Zhang Lingyun explained the plan:

"You should digest this potion first, and then find an opportunity to ask Lin Weiwei out this weekend."

Use hypnosis to find out exactly what happened, then erase her related memories.

Xia Youran felt it was a bit of an overreaction.

But she still obediently nodded:

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

That very night, Xia Youran digested the [Hypnotic Potion].

The potion had a rather strong side effect, causing her to remain unconscious until dawn.

the next day,

During the morning break, Xia Youran found Lin Weiwei and asked with a smile:

"Weiwei, are you free this weekend? Let's go shopping together."

Lin Weiwei was stunned for a moment.

A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head:

"It's the weekend... I think I have something to do, maybe next time."

Xia Youran sneered inwardly, but still wore a smile on her face.

She said casually:

"Oh, that's a pity. Actually, it was my cousin who asked me to invite you to hang out."

He said he'd like to get to know you and would like to treat us to dessert.

Upon hearing the words "cousin," Lin Weiwei's eyes lit up immediately.

She immediately changed her tune:

"Wait, I suddenly remembered that I don't seem to have anything planned for the weekend."

Xia Youran said with a forced smile:

"Really? That's great. My cousin will be so happy."

Lin Weiwei, oblivious, continued excitedly:

"I'll definitely dress up nicely this weekend."

-----------------

The sun was shining brightly on a weekend afternoon.

The pedestrian street was bustling with people, and the air was filled with the aroma of milk tea and grilled sausages.

Lin Weiwei arrived at the agreed intersection ten minutes early.

She wore a white dress paired with innocent white sneakers.

Her long, flowing hair was styled in a gentle, flowing style. She wore delicate, light makeup and a light spray of gardenia perfume.

They saw Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran walking over.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and her gaze was almost glued to Zhang Lingyun.

He completely ignored Xia Youran standing next to him.

"Senior Zhang!"

She smiled and waved, then jogged over to meet him.

He deliberately slowed his pace and walked side by side with Zhang Lingyun.

"Senior, you look so handsome today."

She turned her head to look at Zhang Lingyun, her affectionate eyes sparkling.

While speaking, she boldly nudged Zhang Lingyun's arm lightly with her elbow.

Zhang Lingyun smiled and casually replied with a few words.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xia Youran beside him.

The little witch was pouting, kicking pebbles at her feet, looking very unhappy.

The three of them browsed the clothing store for a while.

Lin Weiwei picked up a men's sweatshirt and held it up to Zhang Lingyun, gesturing to indicate its name.

"You'd definitely look good in this, senior. Want to try it on?"

Her fingers accidentally touched Zhang Lingyun's chest.

Her face flushed red, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

Then he secretly glanced up to observe Zhang Lingyun's reaction.

Xia Youran stood to the side, arms crossed, frowning.

I felt a pang of sadness, like I was a useless wife.

She watched helplessly as her husband was openly seduced by her lewd "best friend."

Zhang Lingyun could see the grievance in her eyes.

While Lin Weiwei was trying on clothes, they took advantage of the moment.

He touched her face and coaxed her softly:

"Don't be angry. After we finish our business, I'll take you to get dessert."

Xia Youran snorted and pointed to her cheek.

Zhang Lingyun had no choice but to quickly give her a small kiss.

This made Xia Youran laugh.

The waiters nearby were utterly shocked by what they saw.

She genuinely couldn't understand it.

Does being handsome mean you can be such a jerk?

That's about it for now.

Zhang Lingyun suggested:

"There's a nice hillside nearby, let's go for a walk there."

Lin Weiwei immediately nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay, I love hiking the most."

The three of them arrived at a lush, green hillside.

This is the place where Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran last searched for the four-leaf clover.

Wildflowers bloom all over the mountains and fields.

When a gentle breeze blows, it stirs up layers of waves of grass.

There wasn't a soul in sight; it was so quiet you could only hear the wind and birdsong.

Lin Weiwei walked beside Zhang Lingyun, chattering away.

She would deliberately bump into Zhang Lingyun every now and then, like a little girl experiencing her first love.

When Zhang Lingyun reached the sloping grassy slope, he suddenly stopped.

Before Lin Weiwei could react, he suddenly reached out and firmly gripped her arms.

Lin Weiwei was startled.

His face flushed bright red instantly, and his heart pounded.

She suddenly lowered her head, not daring to look Zhang Lingyun in the eye.

I felt both shy and flustered, and even a little bit of anticipation.

"Senior... what are you going to do?"

Her voice was barely audible, and her body trembled slightly.

Zhang Lingyun remained silent.

He winked at Xia Youran beside him.

Xia Youran took a deep breath.

He drew the [Hypnosis Card] and activated [Hypnosis].

A faint purple light emanated from her fingertips, instantly enveloping Lin Weiwei's entire body.

Lin Weiwei's eyes instantly became empty.

He stood motionless, like a puppet on a string.

Zhang Lingyun released her arm and said in a deep voice:

"I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Under hypnosis, Lin Weiwei's voice sounded like a robot's:

"Yes."

Why did you ask Xia Youran to go to the rooftop terrace this Wednesday at noon?

"Someone asked me to do this."

"Who is it?"

"Huang Yufeng".

Zhang Lingyun frowned and looked at Xia Youran.

Who is Huang Yufeng?

Xia Youran explained:

"It's the boy I mentioned to you before, the one who wrote the love letter."

Her family seems quite wealthy; she rides a Mercedes to and from school, even though I've refused to drive her many times.

Zhang Lingyun nodded and then asked a few more questions.

But Lin Weiwei's answer was vague, as if she didn't know any more details.
