She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Ah Chen: No problem, I originally wanted to ask you out. What are you busy with?

Li Feiwei’s words just now were completely unbelievable to her, but he seemed not to want her to know what he was busy with.

Li Feiwei doesn’t seem like someone who’s easily swayed by new attractions. Apart from that, everything else is minor.

She hadn’t forgotten the information in the commissioner’s memory about the Li family’s wealthy father and son dying in a fire. Was Li Feiwei’s unusual behavior this time related to his father?

Speaking of which, Li Feiwei is different from others. He never invites anyone to his house, and it seems no one has ever been to his place. At school, besides knowing her and those juniors who secretly know about their relationship, Li Feiwei is actually somewhat isolated.

With his improved grades now, he no longer appears as timid and honest as before. The atmosphere around him gradually changed, making him much more popular. I even heard that female classmates have been sending him love letters.

Being asked about himself by a senior is a rare occasion for Li Feiwei, and he’s happy about it. But in his current state, it’s really not good to appear in front of the senior.

He felt regret in his heart. Soon, once he turns eighteen, all obstacles will disappear, and no one will threaten him using the senior’s safety again.

Thinking about the events in the past years and the old man’s threats, a fierce look flashed in Li Feiwei’s eyes. This is the only time; such things won’t happen again.

Li Feiwei: This holiday my father has some demands on me, so I can’t accept the senior’s invitation.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything more, Ah Chen didn’t ask further.

Ah Chen: When will you be done?

Li Feiwei: I’ll definitely make it before the senior’s school starts. The few days before your college registration are right around my birthday, my eighteenth birthday.

Ah Chen: Great, I’ll prepare a gift for you then. Are you hosting a birthday party?

Li Feiwei: No, but I will invite the senior.

Li Feiwei: Will you come?

Ah Chen: Of course.

Li Feiwei showed a slight smile, intending to handle things well and guarantee that when the senior comes, there won’t be anything unpleasant around.

After ending the conversation, Ah Chen put down her phone.

Judging from Li Feiwei’s tone, it didn’t seem like there was any danger to his life. His words were filled with certainty, not like someone in a terribly forced situation. It seemed he didn’t want her to know what he was doing, so she decided not to pry into his hidden secret. After all, they would meet on his birthday.

Based on her understanding of Li Feiwei, there shouldn’t be any accidents midway.

The so-called well-behaved, timid, cowardly demeanor was just a facade he showed to outsiders. When he became fierce, not many could control him. This was a conclusion Ah Chen reached during their two years of interaction.

After thinking a bit, she sent a message to Chen Yijia, who was visiting relatives abroad, asking how much he knew about the Li Family.

Not inquiring about what’s currently happening to Li Feiwei is one thing, but investigating the Li Family and Li Feiwei’s father’s matters is another. It’s always good to know, in case something serious happens that becomes troublesome.

Chen Yijia: I don’t know much about the Li Family, just that Li Jingming is a relatively stern and dominant person. All I used to hear about was how busy Li Jingming was with his career, and how Li Feiwei was bullied by drivers and maids at home. Over the years, the Li Family has changed unknown numbers of drivers and maids. Afterward, these people couldn’t make a living locally and no one knows what became of them when they went elsewhere. But for the past two years, the Li Family hasn’t changed drivers or maids.

Ah Chen: What about Li’s mother?

It seemed like no one mentioned Li Feiwei’s mother, and it didn’t seem like she had passed away.

Chen Yijia: She divorced Li Jingming a long time ago, probably when Li Feiwei was about three years old. She remarried soon after and settled overseas, never came back, at least I’ve never heard of her appearing in the country. Many people say Li Feiwei is quite pitiful, with a workaholic father and a cold mother who just walked away, no wonder he developed a personality that got bullied by maids and drivers. Some even speculate that because she remarried so quickly, their divorce might’ve been due to some emotional entanglement. But given the Li Family’s status, people only discuss it privately and don’t dare to offend them. Since the two main parties never met again, naturally the gossip died down.

Ah Chen was silent, was that so? It always felt like there were things outsiders didn’t know about.

It seemed like Chen Yijia and others knew only the surface about the Li Family.

Chen Yijia: Why did you suddenly ask about this? Also, aren’t you a bit too close to Li Feiwei?

Chen Yijia noticed the unusually close bond between her and junior Li Feiwei sitting next to her, and couldn’t help but ask during this conversation.

Ah Chen: You just now realized?

Chen Yijia: ?

Chen Yijia: So? It’s not an illusion, not only does Li Feiwei have thoughts about you, but you also kind of?

Ah Chen: More than kind of.

Chen Yijia: Alright, alright, you’re something else! I thought the junior would be heartbroken seeing how composed you always act.

Ah Chen: Don’t talk about me, what about you? Suddenly getting closer to Wen Zhixi in senior year, any progress?

Chen Yijia: Progress? None! I realized distance can create an illusion, but once you know them well, the mysterious aura disappears, and the once unattainable god becomes quite normal.

Besides, he’s kind of omnipresent, bumping into him everywhere, grumbled Chen Yijia.

Ah Chen: So, you don’t have any feelings for him now? But I see Wen Zhixi seems to treat you differently. Someone from the class chat mentioned he also went abroad? In the same country as you? Didn’t you meet?

There was silence on the other end before there was a response.

Chen Yijia: You’re really something, staying at home and knowing so much. Alright, I admit, we did meet.

Ah Chen laughed, just as she thought.

Since Wen Zhixi has feelings, he’s bound to take the initiative rather than wait for love to find him.

Regarding Chen Yijia’s romantic matters, Ah Chen only asked without much comment or intention to interfere with her choices, and then smoothly changed the topic. After chatting for a couple more lines, their conversation ended.

This holiday, Ah Chen wasn’t idle either.

In fact, she and Chen Yijia traveled for a week before parting ways. Ah Chen planned to get a driver’s license during the holiday, while Chen Yijia went abroad to visit relatives. Ah Chen was proficient, so she got her license in no time. Zhuo Qiaoqing was very happy and immediately bought Ah Chen a car, not too expensive, just right for commutes. She was going to a local university, so it was more convenient this way.

Zhuo Qiaoqing didn’t mind driving her daughter to school, but her daughter was grown up and needed her own time and space. Upon consideration, she thought buying a car for her would be more suitable.

As long as there aren’t major issues, Zhuo Qiaoqing gives her daughter quite a bit of freedom.

It’s worth mentioning that Ah Chen demonstrated skills like changing locks and fixing pipes in the past, so she opened an online store. She kept it open when she had time and managed to get some business, earning a small amount.

After the college entrance examination and aside from the week of travel, her online store was open most of the time and orders were increasing.

Just after ending the chat with Chen Yijia, 997 alerted her that new orders had come in.

To avoid missing any, she had 997 keep an eye on her online store.

For a high-level system like 997, it could multitask effortlessly, managing countless networks at once without any issues.

Driving to the destination community, and with the customer’s permission, Ah Chen went upstairs and knocked on the door. She was slightly surprised upon seeing the person inside.
