Chapter 203: Chapter 202 – The Two Years of Being Kidnapped
Shouhao got his hands on Lu Mian’s autographed drawing and couldn’t hold back his excited tears.
He urgently nudged his deskmate, urging him to quickly compare it with the photos on his phone.
Whether Lu Mian was really the Guardian God of Wucheng was about to be confird at that trembling mont!
“Pfft! Hahaha…”
Pang Hao finally couldn’t hold it in any longer, and after he had his fill of laughter, he whispered a few words into his ear.
Shouhao clutched the notebook, and his expression suddenly crumbled.
“Lu Mian is the Guardian God of Wucheng!” he lowered his voice, feeling the need to repeat the sentence to feel truly satisfied.
Pang Hao nodded frantically.
“You punk, you’ve been laughing at !” Shouhao glared at Pang Hao with hatred, clutching his neck, “Why didn’t you tell sooner! Here I am, all cautious and nervous, begging for an autographed drawing!”
Pang Hao escaped from his clutches, “Don’t be mad, man, there are still a lot of people who don’t know the truth!”
Thinking about it that way, he felt better.
Shouhao fully agreed with this logic and hugged the notebook with a foolish grin: “I have Lu Mian’s… no, I have the Guardian God of Wucheng’s autographed drawing, yeah!”
Pang Hao: An unexpected surge of jealousy, what’s going on?
As the two goofballs went back and forth, Lu Mian quietly read her novel, smiling, calm and tranquil, as ti passed peacefully.
In the end, they compared the brushstrokes, which matched perfectly. It was undeniable!
Thus, Lu Mian successfully garnered two crazy fanboys, the kind with stars in their eyes and spouting admiring nonsense.
“Lu Mian, how did you do it? How could you be so amazing?!”
“Lu Mian is superhuman! You can do anything, you’re so badass!”
Lu Mian uttered a “hmm,” her hands flipping the book’s pages, and chuckled, “During the days when I was kidnapped, I couldn’t just do nothing, right?”
“…”
She spoke lightly, but the brothers felt a tinge of sadness in their hearts.
What had Lu Mian been through to acquire such skills and fearlessness?
How resilient must her heart be to speak of her past with a smile?
They felt like they had touched upon a painful subject for Lu Mian and didn’t dare to speak anymore. Lu Mian, however, seed unconcerned and even reassured them, “Don’t overthink it, it wasn’t as bad as you imagine.”
She rarely spoke about these things to anyone, not even revealing them to Ye Jinwen, who tried to hypnotize her.
But now, speaking about it didn’t seem to burden her.
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
The brothers kept quiet for a while, not quite believing her. But seeing that she genuinely didn’t take it to heart and wasn’t inclined to continue, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to chat excitedly again.
Shouhao gestured with his hands outlining Lu Mian’s figure, his imagination running wild: “Fatty, don’t you think Lu Mian looks like a superhero? Two years ago, a 17-year-old girl was accidentally kidnapped. She was taken to a mysterious base, trained to beco a top warrior! But the girl refused to be manipulated for life and, after enduring many hardships, she escaped from the hellish base two years later. Since then, she has lived as an ordinary first-year high school girl, while secretly becoming the guardian hero of Wucheng… Damn, I could beco a scriptwriter!”
Shouhao’s face flushed with excitent, oblivious to the slight stiffening of Lu Mian’s fingers across from him.
Pang Hao didn’t agree with calling her a “superhero.”
“I think Lu Mian is more like the omnipotent female protagonists in novels. Right, there’s this novel that’s really popular now. The female protagonist in it was kidnapped for two years, and after coming back, she beca really badass, crushing losers and slapping faces so satisfyingly!”
Shouhao frowned: “Isn’t that the plot of romance novels? You read those too?”
“If Lu Mian likes reading them, why can’t I follow her example? Besides, the author of that book is Ya Qing, you know Ya Qing, right? The one who wrote ‘Bouncing Back.’ They used to read it on the school broadcast all the ti.”
Ya Qing’s “Bouncing Back” was a motivational book recomnded by teachers, so naturally, Shouhao knew it.
His interest was piqued, “What book is it?”
“‘Her Secret.'”
