Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: To put it bluntly, this is purely your own doing

”About that incident...I still care about it, I guess I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life...lately, as soon as I close my eyes, I start having nightmares, and I’m really scared...I’m terrified something like that would happen to me again...”

The tears that had stopped once again surged out, rolling down Lin Dan’s cheeks in large drops.

”Experience is the mother of wisdom, from now on, don’t go out at night if you can avoid it, and if you really need to go out, find someone to accompany you.”

Kang Li looked into Lin Dan’s eyes, ”Even during the daytime, if you need to go to a deserted place, it’s best to have someone with you. In any case, when you are outside, you must always be on your guard. By doing so, you should be able to greatly reduce the chances of unexpected accidents.”

Having said that, Kang Li paused for a moment, and then spoke again, ”Alright, let the past be the past, don’t dwell on it anymore. If you’re scared when you go to bed at night, have your mom stay with you.”

After helping Lin Dan tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, Kang Li frowned, ”Go look in the mirror, see for yourself how you look right now, skinny and pale. If you walked out like this, I reckon a gust of wind could knock you over.”

Lin Dan, ”...you’re exaggerating a bit, aren’t you?”

”Exaggerating or not, see for yourself in the mirror.” Standing up, Kang Li took the mirror from the table, ”Here, see if the person in the mirror is you.”

She held the mirror up to Lin Dan, with a slight furrow in her brow, ”See that?”

Lin Dan’s eyes immediately widened in shock, ”How did I get like this?” Her hair had lost its luster, the dark circles were obvious, her spirit was clearly not well, the flesh on her face had thinned, and her appearance had noticeably deteriorated from before.

”Not eating properly, not drinking enough water, lacking sleep, how could you not end up looking like this—did you expect to become a fairy?” Kang Li put the mirror back on the table and shook her head, ”To put it bluntly, you’re doing this to yourself.”

Lin Dan, ”I...it’s not that I...”

Kang Li, ”Kang Yiyang, right? You’re worried and scared that Kang Yiyang will judge you, so you choose to run away, burying your head in the sand. You even contemplated death; I’ve never seen such a foolish girl!”

Lin Dan with reddened face, ”I’m not foolish.”

”Not foolish, yet you look for death? Not foolish, yet you care about others’ opinions? I really don’t understand you. Have you tasted all the world’s delicacies, or explored all the scenic beauties, or maybe you’ve seen all the handsome men around?

”Wake up, young lady. We need to look at the long-term perspective of life. Who knows, someday you might be able to go wherever you want without reference letters, embark on a trip on a whim, eat whatever you desire without needing food coupons—money will be all you need.”

Hearing what Kang Li said, Lin Dan’s expression was puzzled.

”Don’t be surprised, nor think it’s impossible. You should know, times are changing, and anything is possible.” Kang Li spoke with a calm demeanor, ”You have a landline at home, right?”

Lin Dan nodded blankly.

Kang Li twinkled her eyes, ”Then just wait, one of these days, you’ll be able to make phone calls while walking down the street.”

”How can I find that so hard to believe? You have quite the imagination!”

Regaining her senses, Lin Dan was full of disbelief, ”No need for reference letters, go wherever you want; no need for food coupons, eat whatever you want...making phone calls while walking down the street? Will there really be a day like that?”

”How do scientists conduct their research?”

Kang Li didn’t expect Lin Dan to answer; she simply said, ”They dare to dream, you know? It’s only by daring to dream that miracles can happen. Just like Edison invented the lightbulb,
