I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 56 Using Her Weakness as a Contract

Zhang Lingyun spoke softly:

"Actually, she's quite pitiful too."

Xia Youran immediately became alert:

"You've fallen for her again?"

Zhang Lingyun quickly explained:

"I just feel sorry for her background, don't overthink it."

Xia Youran countered with a question:

"Why do you pity her? Have you forgotten how she targeted us before?"

Zhang Lingyun said:

"That's true, but everything she did was for her mother."

Xia Youran pressed further:

"So you really intend to help her?"

Zhang Lingyun responded frankly:

"That's right. But let me explain first. I didn't help her entirely out of a saintly heart. It's also for our safety later on, since she knows too many of our secrets."

Xia Youran washed his hands while letting out a soft sigh:

"Then you must be careful. I think this woman is like a venomous snake; she could bite us at any moment."

Zhang Lingyun deeply agreed and asked:

"So, do you have any suggestions?"

Xia Youran pondered and said:

"I think her only weakness is her mother."

Xia Youran's words instantly awakened Zhang Lingyun.

"You're right. If that's the case, we can include her mother in the contract later."

Xia Youran nodded:

"Okay! Let's discuss the contents of the [contract] carefully later, and make sure there are absolutely no loopholes."

Zhang Lingyun nodded slightly.

He secretly thought to himself that Xia Youran was quite useful.

She is not only my daily companion, but also my spiritual partner.

If you are carrying such a heavy secret all by yourself, and there is no one around to confide in.

He felt that it wouldn't be long before he was driven crazy.

With Xia Youran by his side, he felt like he had a safe harbor.

No matter how turbulent the outside world may be, he will always have a safe haven.

Seeing Xia Youran preparing to lather up the foam again, Zhang Lingyun finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"That's enough, isn't it? How long are you going to keep washing?"

Xia Youran was still filled with unease:

"I still find it disgusting. Didn't you see how sticky her saliva was? And she smokes, she smells weird. By the way, did you pick up that weird smell on yourself too?"

Xia Youran leaned closer, raised her little nose, and gently sniffed Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun suggested:

"Or maybe we should just take a shower."

Xia Youran gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind:

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Go take a shower."

the next day.

Ding Shuangshuang waited anxiously outside the university gate early in the morning.

She dressed up especially carefully today.

Her appearance was exceptionally refined, making her look completely different from usual.

In the past, she always wore dark gray clothes, had a cold and solemn face, and was full of the malevolent aura of the Necromancer School.

Today, my long hair was combed very smoothly, and I even styled my bangs.

With light makeup on her face, her temperament became much gentler.

She was wearing a light apricot-colored long dress.

She became so radiant that she was almost unrecognizable.

She stood in the morning light, glancing at the time every now and then.

The passing boys kept turning their heads.

Everyone was wondering when such a pretty girl had appeared in the school.

Someone approached them, wanting to strike up a conversation.

But Ding Shuangshuang immediately cast a "death stare," scaring away all those frivolous boys.

A while later.

After finishing the class, Zhang Lingyun walked out with Bai Lu and Su Rui.

When Ding Shuangshuang saw him, she quickly waved and called out:

"Zhang Lingyun, I'm here."

Zhang Lingyun nodded to her.

Turning to Bai Lu and Su Rui, he said:

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

The two girls stood there, stunned.

Watching Zhang Lingyun quickly get into a taxi with the unfamiliar beautiful woman.

Su Rui frowned:

"Your junior brother is quite the womanizer."

Bai Lu gritted her teeth and began to defend herself:

"He wasn't like this before; he must have something really urgent."

"Stop taking his side. I think he's a womanizer; you shouldn't associate with him anymore."

"What nonsense are you talking about? He's never been my boyfriend, he's just my junior brother."

"That would be perfect."

Su Rui said this, but his eyes showed no belief whatsoever.

***

Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang arrived at the high school gate first.

When the car stopped, I saw Wang Dong bragging to Xia Youran.

This guy isn't actually interested in Xia Youran; he just likes to brag.

After Xia Youran got into the car, Wang Dongdong remained standing there, muttering to himself:

"What's going on with Lao Zhang? He's getting a new beautiful woman every few days. He's got way too many ladies around this year."

Wang Dongdong had just finished his reflection when he turned around and saw Zhuang Wenwen.

Zhuang Wenwen gritted her teeth.

She had already seen the beautiful woman in the car.

Out of nowhere, I've gained another rival in love.

She regrets it terribly now.

If I had won over Zhang Lingyun two years earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Zhang Lingyun had ridden in cars so many times, but this was the most depressing experience of his life.

He was sitting in the middle of the back seat of the car.

Xia Youran and Ding Shuangshuang sat on either side of each other, and they couldn't stand each other.

Ding Shuangshuang didn't want Xia Youran to come along.

But Zhang Lingyun rejected it outright.

Firstly, Xia Youran's [Resurrection Armor] ability is his trump card for survival.

Secondly, if Xia Youran discovers that the two of them are alone, he will be severely tormented that night.

The three arrived at the hospital and walked to the entrance of the intensive care unit.

Ding Shuangshuang spoke up:

"My mother is very ill, and only two people are allowed to visit at a time."

Xia Youran remained in the corridor and said to Zhang Lingyun:

"Call me if you need anything."

Xia Youran spoke lightly, but the plans in her heart were very heavy.

She has already made up her mind.

As soon as she sensed something was wrong, she would immediately commit suicide in the corridor.

Regardless of whether it's a misunderstanding or not, as long as time can be reversed, Zhang Lingyun will have a chance to start over.

She paid no attention to the pain she was enduring.

After undergoing full-body disinfection and changing into sterile protective suits, the two entered the intensive care unit.

Zhang Lingyun looked at the woman on the hospital bed.

She was very young and beautiful, and the nameplate on the headboard read: Ding Wanrou.

Zhang Lingyun asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Is this really your mother? How old was she when she gave birth to you?"

Ding Shuangshuang coughed awkwardly:

"She is a witch herself, so she looks young, but she is actually forty-five years old."

Zhang Lingyun exclaimed in amazement:

"You can't tell at all, she looks only about 25 years old."

Ding Shuangshuang suddenly felt uneasy and quickly reminded him:

"She is my biological mother. She raised me alone and has been a widow for many years. It has not been easy for her."

Zhang Lingyun casually remarked:

"She's widowed at such a young age."

Ding Shuangshuang quickly changed the subject:

"Let's sign the [transaction agreement] now."
