Chapter 302 The City That Never Breaks

Seeing her increasingly serious expression as she stared at the tarot cards, Peng Yuxian felt uneasy for some reason. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Geng Miaowan gently shook her head and said, "This is bad... According to the cards, the most important thing you have to do today will become the disaster of your life."

"What do you mean by that!" Peng Yuxian jumped to his feet. His most important task today was to pick up Lu Bing from the airport and propose to her. "What do you mean it will be the worst thing that ever happened to me?"

Does that mean he and Lu Bing could never be together again? No, that's something he absolutely cannot accept.

“Calm down and listen to me,” Geng Miaowan tried to soothe his anger, but to little avail.

"That's nonsense!"

Lu Bing is Peng Yuxian's most beloved woman. It can be said that before meeting her, he never knew that he would fall so deeply in love with someone. He absolutely cannot tolerate anyone saying even the slightest bad word about her.

But today, this person, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, suddenly told him that his beloved woman would suffer some kind of disaster today. This baseless and unfounded speculation ignited a surge of anger within him. If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, he certainly wouldn't have been polite to her.

Even so, he angrily pushed her hand away and turned to leave. Geng Miaowan tried several times to stop him but couldn't, and could only watch his departing figure.

Just as Peng Yuxian's figure disappeared under the overpass, Xu Ruwen walked over. The two looked at each other, and Geng Miaowan sighed softly.

Honestly, although she is now working to prevent Peng Yuxian from encountering Lu Bing and Qiu Pi at 7:45, she is not entirely sure whether the restriction can be broken even if Peng Yuxian does not meet Lu Bing.

She was just giving it her all.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, they had been in this space for more than half a month.

For the past two weeks, Geng Miaowan and the others have been trying every possible way to prevent Peng Yuxian and Lu Bing from meeting, but to no avail. Peng Yuxian's obsession with Lu Bing is deeper than they imagined. Or rather, they simply have no way to stop them from meeting.

The only time they tried was to get him to work overtime at the company so he would miss the deadline. But before they could even get there, a news report came on TV. It said that near the airport, a young woman had been mistakenly killed by a group of robbers.

Although she didn't confirm it, Geng Miaowan could tell from the photo of the scene alone that the person was undoubtedly Lu Bing.

Geng Miaowan discovered that no matter how they tried to stop her, Lu Bing would always die in an accident at 7:45. It was as if it were a pre-programmed story; no matter what happened along the way, the final outcome was always the same.

Things have come to this point, and they seem to be in a predicament.

Another half month passed.

The past two weeks haven't been much better than the previous two weeks.

Every day began with the same screams from the waitresses and ended with Peng Yuxian's suicide. This repetitive routine was driving Geng Miaowan and the others to the brink of collapse. Even Luan Hao was starting to dislike the situation and was going out less and less often.

To avoid being driven crazy by the monotony of his life, Xu Ruwen tried to find some amusement, but Geng Miaowan found it rather boring.

Sometimes he'd suddenly open the door just before the waitress entered, startling her. He'd then laugh heartily as she ran away in a panic. Of course, if you think his boredom ends there, you're underestimating him.

He would suddenly tell a stranger what would happen to him in the next minute, and then wait to see the person's surprised expression.

He would call the police and tell them the exact time and place of the robbery so that they could take precautions in advance.

He would call to report the fire.

He would suddenly grab someone passing by and tell them the winning lottery numbers for the day.

Sometimes, on a whim, he would hide somewhere and jump out to give the thief a surprise when he had stolen something.

He even told a woman the exact time and place her husband would be meeting his mistress at a hotel, so she could catch him in the act…

He was familiar with everything that happened in the city and was openly and secretly disrupting its order. Geng Miaowan felt that he was about to ruin the city, but he said that everything would be back to normal by midnight anyway, and the city couldn't be ruined.

Geng Miaowan had no answer to this.

During this period of time, he successfully prevented a murder that occurred in another part of the city for many days, but he could not prevent Lu Bing's death no matter what he did.

This made Geng Miaowan even more convinced that this incident was the main reason for the anomaly in this space.

That morning, Xu Ruwen checked the time and thought it was about time. He suddenly got up and walked towards the door. Geng Miaowan knew what he was up to at a glance, muttered to herself how boring it was, and curled back up on the sofa.

The door was opened without warning. The waiter, holding the room key in one hand, stared dumbfounded at the person who opened the door. Suddenly, he belatedly exclaimed "Ah!" and took several steps back.

Geng Miaowan: "You...who are you, and why are you in this room?"

Huangfu Aohan: "I'm in the room because I'm a guest here."

Geng Miaowan: "How...how is that possible? I don't have any records of any guests staying here!"

Huangfu Aohan: "If I weren't a guest here, how could I possibly be in this room?"

Geng Miaowan: "Don't move, I'm going to call our manager over."

Huangfu Aohan: "Okay, Manager Jin, right? Call him over, I have something to say to him."

……

Geng Miaowan and Huangfu Aohan sat on the sofa, mimicking the conversation between Xu Ruwen and the waiter at the door, word for word. She thought Xu Ruwen was really childish; he had played this game countless times before.

So they were registered again. After Manager Jin and the waiter left, Xu Ruwen looked at the door with a thoughtful expression.

"What's wrong?" Geng Miaowan asked.

He opened his mouth, then shook his head. "It's nothing, maybe I remembered it wrong."

Geng Miaowan glanced at him. He always prided himself on his exceptional memory; how could he possibly make a mistake? However, seeing his own confusion, she didn't ask further. (To be continued.)
