Wen Yu was driving behind a bus and followed it for one stop when a slight commotion suddenly broke out.
As soon as the door of the bus opened, and a man rushed out and quickly ran away. Following him, Ji Anning also got off the bus. It was clear that she was chasing after the man, but it was also clear that she couldn’t catch up with him.
Wen Yu frowned as he held onto the steering wheel.
What happened?
He thought of getting off the car and calling out to Ji Anning. However, she suddenly turned her head and looked in his direction. Wen Yu didn’t know if she saw him, but she suddenly turned around and squeezed back onto the bus.
Wen Yu’s hand, which was about to open the car door, stopped.
However, he didn’t continue to follow the bus either. Something must have happened just now, he thought.
The bus drove away, but Wen Yu parked the car by the side of the road and stopped it.

Even if the four wheels were slow, they were still faster than a person’s two legs. In no time, Wen Yu saw a person on the side of the road. He didn’t see the appearance of the man with glasses earlier, but the man was holding the wound on his hand with the other hand, and he was too recognizable. Wen Yu found him right away.
The black Hummer stopped at the side of the road with a “zi” sound.
The man with glasses felt particularly unlucky today.
He wasn’t supposed to take this route, but a few days ago, he had molested a girl on the route he often took. Who would have thought that the tall, muscular man next to the girl, who was looking at his phone the entire time, was her boyfriend? They both looked down at their phones and looked like complete strangers!
The girl yelled, and he was unluckily dragged out of the car by her boyfriend, and was beaten up four or five times. He was also warned that if he was seen again, he would be beaten up again.
He was so scared that he took a detour on the subway for several days. It wasn’t until today that he found out that there was a more convenient line than the subway and decided to take it. Little did he know that he would meet a girl who is seemingly gentle but fierce and spicy. 1feisty
He was out of luck.
Muttering curses under his breath, suddenly a big black car screeched to a halt on the side of the road.
A young handsome man jumped out of the car, slammed the door shut, and stood in front of the road.
People always bully the weak and fear the strong, especially the man wearing glasses. Even from a distance of seven or eight steps, he could feel the young man’s aura blocking the road in front of him. With his first step, he naturally shifted half a step to the right, and with his second step, he shifted again, instinctively trying to avoid this person.
Wen Yu took a step forward and pushed the glasses-wearing man in the chest, causing him to stumble.
The glasses-wearing man was confused: “What are you doing?”
Facing Ji Anning who was thin and weak, he dared to shout loudly . But facing Wen Yu, who was tall and muscular, he asked the question with some caution.
Wen Yu took another step forward and asked, “What were you doing on the bus just now?”
The man with glasses’ eyes flickered as he said, “What’s it to you?”
Wen Yu smiled.
If Ji Anning was here and saw Wen Yu’s smile, she would probably feel chills. On that night, Wen Yu had laughed just like this before turning the person who killed her into a parabola. 2The phrase “turned a person into a parabola” could refer to Wen Yu causing the person’s trajectory in life to become curved or unpredictable, like a parabolic path. This could imply that Wen Yu has had a significant impact on the person’s fate or has caused them to experience a sudden and unexpected turn of events — death.
The man with glasses only felt a blur before Wen Yu’s fist hit him in the face.
A tooth flew out, and the man twisted and staggered like a pretzel before falling to the ground and rolling his eyes.
The pedestrians on the street were scared and avoided them, hurrying away while frequently looking back.
Wen Yu knew that an average person would take a long time to get up after being hit by his fist. He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, walked over and stepped on the man with glasses’ hand, crushing it.
The pain made the man with glasses wake up from the dizziness of seeing stars (being punched), screaming like a slaughtered pig.
“Mind where your hand is,” Wen Yu flicked cigarette ash in his face. “Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”
The man with glasses: “…”
Damn it, why did he keep hearing this line these days?
“I won’t, I won’t! Cough cough cough!” The cigarette ash made him cough and tears and snot flowed out.
Pathetic.
Wen Yu released his foot, took out his phone, and took two pictures. He turned and got in his car.
He hadn’t finished smoking his cigarette yet, so he sat in the car with the window open and smoked. He watched the creepy man slowly climb up and walk away, looking back at the black Hummer from time to time. He sped up his pace, but ended up crashing into a utility pole with a loud bang.
Wen Yu chuckled, exhaled smoke, and opened his phone to look at the pictures he just took.
The sight of the creepy man crying with tears and snot made Wen Yu lose his appetite. He swiped his finger forward and a slender figure appeared on the screen.
Wen Yu’s gaze froze.
He had been looking for Ji Anning in the school these past two days – naturally, since he had taken an interest in her. The problem was, he found that Ji Anning was hard to find.
She was a freshman while he was a junior, and they rarely crossed paths in class. But at lunchtime, Ji Anning always left early and rushed back and forth between the cafeteria and the dormitory, appearing to be very busy.
She also didn’t live on campus; it was said that the school provided her with a room in the family building. After school in the afternoon, she delivered takeout to the female dormitory and then disappeared.
Today, Wen Yu saw her when he was driving past the school gate after school. Who knew that she acted as if she didn’t see or hear him, and ran straight past his car.
At that moment, Wen Yu thought that Ji Anning didn’t really see or heard him honking, after all, the horn doesn’t call out people’s names, it all sounds the same. But in the middle, when Ji Anning got off the bus, she glanced at him.
Wen Yu suddenly had the intuition that Ji Anning knew about him – she knew his car and knew someone was following him.
But she avoided him.
Intentionally.
Wen Yu stared at his phone, his eyes gloomy.
He had a few blurry photos of Ji Anning. The clearest one was of her holding two bags filled with takeaway food boxes, biting a meal card in her mouth. Her forehead was blown up by the wind as she ran.
Wen Yu had seen many pretty girls, but he had never seen anyone so uninterested in their appearance.
But he deliberately looked at the advertisement Ji Anning posted in the school forum for her meal delivery service. She advertised it as “fast,” guaranteeing that the hot meal would be delivered as soon as the customer returned to their dormitory.
There seemed to be quite a few students in the school who were earning hard money like this, and the competition was fierce.
Wen Yu put out his cigarette and rubbed his chin.
What kind of life was this?
Looking up, the bus had long since disappeared. Wen Yu didn’t plan to chase after it anymore. If he guessed correctly, she should have gone to work part-time somewhere.
She might not understand, how can a girl as pretty as her live this kind of life?
“It doesn’t matter”, Wen Yu thought. “I will make her understand that life is not just a difficult road to take.”
There was a burst of laughter on the bus, and the plump lady’s face turned red with anger.
“How could someone so young be so lacking in manners?” she scolded. “Didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders?”
Ji Anning stared at her and said, “My parents taught me that when someone does something wrong, we should blame the person who did it, instead of blaming the victim.”
Clearly, she had been deceived and set-up by her classmate. And before her death, she had resisted fiercely to protect herself. But in the mouths of her classmates, it became gossip over tea and dinner, full of ambiguous and irresponsible associations.
They poured a bucket of dirty water on her.
Even the girl who had deceived her and the boy who had harmed her were laughing and agreeing with others as they talked about it.
Ji Anning, whose soul hovered in the air, hated them so much she wanted to rush up and tear them apart. But when she rushed over, she passed through their bodies, and even through the walls.
Ji Anning looked thin, with bony body and her burning eyes angry flaming with anger. The fat aunt couldn’t help but shiver, remembering how this girl had dared to resist a man with just a pen. Her momentum suddenly weakened.
She mumbled something under her breath and turned her head away, not daring to confront Ji Anning directly.
Everyone around them held back their laughter.
When Ji Anning turned her head, the girl with small freckles on her face gave her a thumbs up.
Although she couldn’t compare to Ji Anning in terms of appearance or figure, she had also encountered many instances of harassment. Seeing this powerful girl for the first time, she had directly made the other person bleed, which was truly admirable.
Ji Anning smiled back at her.
The car arrived at the station, which was an important transfer point, and half of the passengers got off. The car suddenly felt lighter, and Ji Anning looked back through the glass but didn’t see Wen Yu’s black Hummer.
In this life, Wen Yu seemed to be less attached to her than in the previous one.
Ji Anning withdrew her gaze and looked at the floor of the bus, unsure of what she was feeling.
Her workplace was not far from the school, only four stops away. She had been working part-time here in her previous life.
She pushed open the door of the coffee shop, and the bell rang. Behind the counter stood a young man with a gentle face, wearing a shirt, a vest, and a bow tie. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he smiled, “You’re here?”
“Manager,” Ji Anning called out.
The manager’s name was Shu Chen. In the previous life, he was one of the few people who refused to believe the rumors about Ji Anning after her death.
He was only in his twenties, and had only graduated from college a few years ago. He was a deep fan of anime culture, and after graduation, he didn’t want to work a typical nine-to-five job. His family supported him in opening this anime-themed coffee shop, which focused on coffee, afternoon tea, and simple meals.
The specialty is the maid uniform.
The day before yesterday, Ji Anning came for an interview. As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up and he eagerly invited her to try on the work uniform. He looked like a perverted weirdo in a hurry.
He was not familiar with Ji Anning, but Ji Anning was very familiar with him. He was actually a deep otaku. She calmly went to the back to change into a maid uniform and skillfully negotiated with Shu Chen to let him include dinner in the salary package.
In the past, she didn’t have her dinner included, but Shu Chen found out that she often only had a biscuit for dinner and felt sorry for her, so he included her dinner.
He also expressed his intention to pursue her in a sly manner, but was directly killed in the bud by Wen Yu.
Before Ji Anning died, no one pursued her. All the boys in the school knew that Wen Yu was determined to win her over.
With Wen Yu around, no one dared to try.
But one day, Wen Yu suddenly disappeared from the school, and no one knew why.
Soon after he disappeared, Ji Anning was coaxed by a familiar girl to take a part-time job, not knowing it was a trap set by someone who had coveted her for a long time. Without Wen Yu, he had no scruples and forced Ji Anning to the rooftop, where she fell off.
Ji Anning and Shu Chen greeted each other and ran to the back to have dinner first.
Shu Chen asked the kitchen to prepare her dinner, not only to make her full, but also to provide a balanced nutrition with both meat and vegetables.
He had always taken care of her like this. Of course, Ji Anning didn’t take this advantage for nothing. Later, she became the longest-serving employee in the store and also the pillar that attracted nearby male students to come and spend their money.
Ji Anning rinsed her mouth after dinner, then changed into her work uniform and started her shift.
Shu Chen thought that this new employee was really adorable! Big eyes, slender waist, long legs. When he first saw her during the interview, his heart skipped a beat.
When Ji Anning came out wearing the maid uniform, he almost couldn’t stand it. This was simply… a three-dimensional version of a two-dimensional girl!
Shu Chen thought at the time that even if this girl couldn’t do anything, he would still keep her and only ask her to wear this uniform and stay in the store! Just treat her as a living advertisement for the store!
But who knew that Ji Anning didn’t even need training when she started working. She was much more skilled than other girls who had been working for a while. One was equivalent to several!
The god of anime must have favored him! Shu Chen bit his handkerchief and squealed with joy at the time. “嘤嘤嘤” ಥ╭╮ಥ 3 “嘤嘤嘤” – Chinese internet meme/word that imitates the sound of crying in a spoiled way. It’s like how they use 555 / 五五五 online as a crying sound

“turning the person who killed her into a parabola”
I think this is much more literal. As in the flight path of someone tossed off a building is a parabola.
That also makes sense.
Hope that bus dude lost the use of his hand!!!
