I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

Li Chang'an was slightly taken aback when he saw the aloof-looking girl in front of him, not expecting to meet her here.

He then suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Li Changning and Xiaotang had mentioned that Changyue had come to Kowloon with her school to participate in the ballet performance of the Delan Girls' School.

Jiang is also a ballet dancer and a student at Delan Girls' School.

And Jiang is also a model... Wait, could the senior in the club I just mentioned be Jiang Shuwan?

Li Chang'an never imagined the world was so small.

No wonder there's a famous saying: if you know six people, you know everyone in the world.

"Senior Li, do you know Changyue?"

Seeing the silence, Jiang Shuwan took the initiative to speak.

"Jiang, she's the younger sister I just told you about..."

"Not by blood."

Before Li Chang'an could finish speaking, Li Changyue added casually.

She seemed unwilling to acknowledge that the other person was her brother.

Li Chang'an didn't explain further. He turned to Jiang Shuwan and said:

"Jiang, since your teachers and students are already here, I'll be leaving now."

"Wait, Senior Li, you haven't told me your contact information yet..."

Li Changyue crossed her arms, her phoenix eyes fixed silently on Li Chang'an, while simultaneously telling Jiang Shuwan a phone number.

She had some doubts. There shouldn't be a landline phone in the old tenement building that Li Chang'an rented. Where did he get the money to buy a landline phone?

These days, landline phones aren't cheap. The phone itself costs several hundred Hong Kong dollars, and the installation fee is at least two thousand Hong Kong dollars. Generally, only companies or middle-class families can afford to install one.

It seems that after failing his university entrance exam, Li Chang'an went straight to looking for a job. This should be the company's phone number...

……

After leaving the police station, Li Chang'an hailed a taxi and returned to Sai Wan on Hong Kong Island.

Fortunately, the mountain leaves he left behind were not stolen.

This was a gift the class monitor gave him just today. If he lost it, even if the class monitor has a good temper, he would be angry and sad.

Back in Shek Tong Tsui, Li Chang'an had just opened the door when he heard Li Changning complaining.

"Brother, it's raining so hard outside and it's so late. If you don't come back soon, I'll think you're going to spend the night with that woman."

"What did you say?"

Li Chang'an rubbed his hair in an annoyed manner.

Li Changning broke free from his clutches, ruffling her messy hair as she winked and teased him:

"Stop pretending, you must have gone on a date with a girl tonight."

In the afternoon, her nanny drove over. As soon as I saw the interior and smelled the perfume, I knew the owner of this car must be a girl with good taste.

Li Chang'an frowned.

"What do you usually do at school? How come you're so skilled at this?"

"...Ahem, that's not important."

"The important thing is, bro, you're amazing! No wonder you were ignoring Xingning, turns out you've hooked up with an even richer young lady."

If you ask me, that's how a man should be—find several potential partners. My sister-in-law, of course, should be chosen from the best of the best!

Li Chang'an slapped him on the forehead.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who taught you that?"

Li Changning touched his forehead, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Just kidding... But who exactly is she? What does her family do? You're back so late, did you manage to snag that rich young lady?"

Li Chang'an interrupted his series of questions:

"You're overthinking it. I just owed a friend a favor and went out for a meal at a street food stall with her."

"Don't try to fool me!" Li Changning pouted, his face full of disbelief. "Someone who can afford a Bentley would take you to eat at a street food stall?"

They're eating so late, and it's raining heavily outside, why aren't they coming home?

"For at least a while, you should have used the excuse that the rain was so heavy and it was inconvenient to go back, and stayed somewhere together to avoid the rain."

"For example, hotels, love hotels~ hehe."

Li Changning felt that this was the normal direction the story should take.

But little did he know that after seeing Wen Zhilan off, Li Chang'an turned around and got into the taxi of the murderer in the rainy night.

Even more unexpectedly, after personally dealing with the murderer and saving the young girl, Li Chang'an stayed at the police station for another hour before being picked up by a gang leader.

Li Chang'an didn't want Li Changning to worry, so he naturally didn't mention these dangerous things.

He ruffled Li Changning's hair again and yawned.

"Stop daydreaming. I can't find you a rich wife as your sister-in-law. If you want to make big money, you'd better work hard yourself. Now go to sleep."

Li Chang'an paused for a moment, then said:

"However, I ran into Changyue tonight, and that girl is still giving me the cold shoulder."

Has she contacted you recently? For example, has she been short of living expenses or is having some kind of difficulty...?

Listening to his brother's rambling, Li Changning's initial excitement at wanting to find out about the young rich girl quickly cooled down. He silently advised:

"Even Changyue doesn't treat you like a brother, so why are you always worrying about her? Instead of trying to win over your sister, why don't you pay more attention to your little brother?"

For example, give me double my allowance from now on, and give me Changyue's share too!

"Come on, I have something serious to tell you."

"No, really. Sister Changyue knows that I'm in cahoots with you, and that's why I haven't been in touch with her for a long time."

"And she has a lot of fans now, maybe she earns more money than you do from filming all day."

You're helping her out? It's good enough if she doesn't turn around and help us brothers out in return.

Li Chang'an wanted to ask something more, but Li Changning yawned and said:

"Fine, if you're not going to talk about the rich girl, I'm going to bed. I don't want to listen to your nagging, you sister-obsessed sister..."

……

……

Kowloon, a clinic.

Because Jiang Shuwan still had a low-grade fever, she did not return to the hotel she rented at Delan Girls' School tonight, but instead rested and received an IV drip at a clinic.

Li Changyue then voluntarily stayed by Jiang Shuwan's side to take care of her.

At that moment, she was quietly holding an English novel, reading by the bright moonlight shining through the window.

Jiang Shuwan saw the title "Wuthering Heights" on the book cover and immediately asked with curiosity:

"Is this the English version of Wuthering Heights?"

I've heard my teacher talk about this book before, but I've never read it. Changyue, what's it about?

Li Changyue flipped through the book and said calmly:

"The old master of Wuthering Heights adopted a homeless orphan named Heathcliff and brought him back to the manor."

He grew up with the estate owner's daughter, Catherine, and the two often ran wild like savages on the plains, loving each other deeply.

But later, Catherine met Linton, the son of the elegant and noble owner of Thrushcross Grange.

Catherine eventually married Linton in order to live a more respectable aristocratic life.

Heathcliff, after being abandoned, left in a rage. Years later, he returned in power, seized Wuthering Heights, and began to take revenge on everyone, wanting to drag them all into misery…

"What a dark story."

Jiang Shuwan felt sorry for Catherine for not choosing true love, and was also somewhat afraid of Heathcliff's extremes and madness.

Li Changyue licked her lips.

"Senior, what if both of them are enjoying this twisted relationship?"

"Choosing to possess something desperately out of fear of loneliness is itself the most romantic form of loyalty in literary fantasy."

Catherine was both expectant and delighted by the madness of Heathcliff, because she was also a madwoman; if Heathcliff wasn't mad, then she would be.

Jiang Shuwan didn't quite understand Li Changyue's review, but since she hadn't read the book, she couldn't offer any comment.

"Oh, by the way, Changyue... could you tell me about Senior Li?"

"..."

Upon hearing the name, Li Changyue's hand holding the book tightened almost imperceptibly for a moment, and her joyful expression as she shared her thoughts on the book turned somber.

Jiang Shuwan, however, was unaware of the subtle emotional change in the junior beside her. Her face flushed slightly, and she whispered:

"For example, I knew what fruits or clothing colors Senior Li liked, so when I went to visit him to express my gratitude, I was prepared in advance..."

"There's not much to say about that person."

"Eh?"

Before Jiang Shuwan could speak, Li Changyue continued:

"It's best if you don't become curious about him because of what happened tonight."

That good-for-nothing man only brings bad luck to those around him; it's best if you avoid him in the future.

Jiang Shuwan was slightly taken aback. Although she had guessed that the relationship between Li Changyue and her senior brother Li would not be very harmonious, she did not expect her to have this attitude.

In her memory, although Li Changyue was usually a bit aloof, she would never deliberately reject someone like this.

What does it mean when she says that Senior Li is cursed with bad luck...?

Jiang Shuwan's small hand, hidden under the blanket, clenched tightly around the piece of paper with the phone number written on it.

Clearly, she wouldn't give up on maintaining contact with Li Chang'an just because of Li Changyue's words.

This time, she will not back down.
