Chapter 132: I Understand What You Mean

The lunch break had not yet ended when the students were jolted awake by a sudden clap of thunder. Everyone crowded toward the windows, peering down at the ground below.

Someone shouted, "Xu Xingchen has been struck by lightning!"

Before the eyes of the crowd, Xu Xingchen lay motionless on the ground, his previously sleek, well-groomed hair now a tangled bird's nest, and his clothes smoldering from the strike.

Duan Xingye shot up from his seat, staring at the scene below in utter shock.

A classmate quipped, "What happened to Xu Xingchen? Did he get struck for making a false oath? Duan Xingye... did he actually swear an oath?"

Duan Xingye, feeling completely blindsided, muttered, "He was just swearing an oath to me a moment ago..."

And then, he was struck.

"Holy crap, does the Heavens have a grudge against him?"

"Doesn't this scene look familiar? Like we’ve seen it somewhere before."

"Are you talking about the time Tong Qingyan was attacked by bird droppings? It does look quite similar. You have to admit, those two make a perfect pair."

As the students chattered away, the school security team rushed to the scene to provide assistance.

The principal, who had been enjoying tea and the spring rain in his office, received the news and froze. Would this lead to trouble for the school? It wasn’t as if they could control a lightning strike!

The news of Xu Xingchen being struck by lightning spread through Heng Hua No. 1 High School in an instant, and every window was soon packed with gossiping students.

Tong Qingyan felt a complex mix of emotions as she watched Xu Xingchen being carried away on a stretcher toward the hospital. She hadn't expected them to share such a miserable experience; perhaps she should find an opportunity to visit him.

Bai Chuwei, however, had no interest in Xu Xingchen’s misfortune; it was impossible for the male lead to die. She rested her chin in one hand, busy sending a WeChat message to Duan Feihan. She had just sent a cryptic message, subtly hinting at her own abilities.

[Your Ancestor: It’s going to rain later, so remember to bring an umbrella, little Hanhan.]

Duan Feihan had not yet replied.

The sky, which had been bright and sunny just moments ago, had suddenly turned into a downpour, and judging by the intensity, it showed no signs of stopping.

At Rui Shi Entertainment, employees were sighing and complaining, "How did it suddenly start thundering and raining? I didn't bring an umbrella today!"

A female employee laughed, "Maybe some scumbag made a poisonous oath and got struck by the Heavens again."

Duan Feihan had just stepped out of a meeting. He stood before the window with one hand in his trouser pocket, his deep eyes fixed on the torrential rain outside. He lowered his gaze to look at the black smartphone in his hand.

It was true that one should bring an umbrella when it rains.

However... he was working in his office and would be taking a private car home; he had no need for an umbrella. What was the meaning of Bai Chuwei’s message?

Duan Feihan handed the phone to his personal assistant, Xiao Zhou. "What does this mean?"

Xiao Zhou, feeling flattered, held the phone with both hands. He glanced at the contact name, "Chuwei." The absence of a surname suggested their relationship was not ordinary, and the fact that she called the CEO "little Hanhan"—tsk, how mushy!

Xiao Zhou studied it for a moment, then had a sudden epiphany. "Mr. Duan, women are creatures who say one thing but mean another. She isn't reminding you to take an umbrella; she’s hinting that she doesn't have one and wants you to come pick her up."

Duan Feihan’s brow furrowed slightly. "Is that so?"

Bai Chuwei didn't seem like the type of girl who enjoyed beating around the bush. She was straightforward; if she wanted something, she usually just went for it.

Assistant Xiao Zhou patted his chest, guaranteeing, "It must be! Mr. Duan, I know more about women than you do!"

Duan Feihan knew that Xiao Zhou had been in a long-term relationship, so he certainly had more experience in this area. With that, he picked up the phone to reply to Bai Chuwei.

[Duan Feihan: I understand what you mean.]

Having finally received a reply, Bai Chuwei wore a satisfied smile.

As she had said before, it was never a loss to have the Ancestor as your boss. It was good that he understood.
