Chapter 1656 Minor Changes
Ripple entered this dimension in place of her original body when she first encountered this incident and was still in shock, so she did not avoid getting to know Jim, nor did she save her aunt who was doomed to die, and her mission was not successful.

However, the two have just met for the first time, and there is still a chance to turn things around. She can't cut off contact with him now. They are in the same school, and the key to her regaining her identity lies in Jim, so for now, just maintain the status quo.

The next day, Lianyi went to school to ask for leave because there was an explosion due to a gas leak in her residence and her only relative was gone. There were many funeral affairs that needed her to deal with. Director Si Lan of the school's teaching department sympathized with Lianyi and not only approved the leave for her, but also recommended a psychological counselor to her, hoping that she would not indulge too much in grief.

"Thank you, Director Silan. I will go back to school as soon as possible. My aunt hopes that I can finish college. She certainly doesn't want to see me become depressed."

"Good boy, you have to be strong, but don't push yourself too hard."

Silan still gave comfort, and Lianyi gladly accepted the other party's kindness.

For the next week, Lianyi dealt with the funeral arrangements for the house and her aunt. Fortunately, the house was insured, and after it was determined to be an accident, she received some compensation.

On the day of Lianyi's aunt's funeral, a very gentlemanly man approached her, claiming to be an insurance broker and saying that she had a huge insurance payout that she needed to collect.

"Insurance money?"

Lianyi had a puzzled look on her face. She had never seen this man in her original memory.

"It's like this, Ms. Yu Lianyi. Your aunt Yilin Yu bought herself an accident insurance three years ago, and you are the only beneficiary."

The man immediately explained.

"My aunt never told me this."

Ripple said with certainty.

"Perhaps your aunt just wants to give you some security. After all, you don't know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."

Lian Yi took a deep breath and said:
"Since you came to see me, does that mean my aunt's death was an accident?"

"Yes, after our investigation, as well as the reports issued by the fire department and the police department, it can be proved that your aunt died in an accident, so you can go and collect the insurance money at any time."

Lianyi nodded and decided to get the money first. She urgently needed a new place to live and had to complete her studies, so she made an appointment with the man and decided to collect the insurance money in three days.

Lianyi is staying in a hotel for the past two days. She doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position, and it's always inconvenient to live in someone else's house. Then she finds that the symbol Jim drew for her is fading. She estimates that once the symbol disappears completely, it will no longer be able to prevent monsters.

Lianyi had also studied these symbols before. They were similar to the runes in the world of cultivation, but the effect of these symbols was relatively short-lived, like a disposable talisman.

The power contained in this special rune is similar to the power of the five elements, but it is locked in the body by the rune, making the body a carrier of this power and also able to control this power.

She once exposed the back of her hand, and no one asked about the origin of this tattoo-like rune. Later, when Nayi came to see her, she tentatively asked her, but she was told that the back of her hand was very white and that she didn't see the rune at all. She thought this world was quite interesting.

After receiving a huge sum of insurance money, Lianyi no longer had to worry about money. After finding a new place to live, she returned to school.

On the day she returned to school, her best friend Nayi and the bespectacled man Liu Yuang who had been with her before welcomed her warmly.

"Lianyi, why don't you just take a few days off and come to class?"

Nayi asked, blinking her big eyes.

"It's easier to have wild thoughts when you're alone at home."

Ripple explained.

"Lianyi, I heard that you moved to a new place. Do you need any help from us?"

Liu Yuang also asked carefully.

"Thank you, but that's not necessary. I rented a renovated room with complete supporting facilities. I just need to buy some daily necessities. Nayi, can you accompany me shopping and buy two sets of clothes this weekend?"

Lianyi made the invitation at the right time. These two were her original body's only friends, so she still had to maintain good relations with them. "Sure! Sure! Absolutely no problem."

Nayi agreed happily.

Then the three of them went to the lecture hall as today was a large class.

After a morning of classes, Lianyi felt quite relaxed. She had already finished reading the entire book on this major and could easily pass the final exam.

After class, Lianyi saw Jim waiting at the door.

The other party's appearance caused a small commotion. After all, Jim was not their professional, and it was obvious that he was waiting for someone.

When Lianyi saw the other person, the other person happened to look over here. He waved to Lianyi as a greeting. Lianyi didn't want the other person to come to her in such a high-profile manner, but she still walked over.

"Why are you waiting for me here?"

Ripple frowned and asked.

Jim was choked by Lianyi's question. He felt a little aggrieved. It was the first time that he was disliked by a girl. He said with a straight face:
"I also wanted to contact you through other means, but I heard that something happened in your family and you took a leave of absence. I couldn't reach you through the phone number left by the school, so I had to come here to find you."

Lianyi thought about it and realized that the two of them had hurriedly parted at the basketball hall and did not leave any contact information. She knew who the other person was and where to find him, but the other person did not know her whereabouts.

When the original body was rescued, he was very grateful to the other party and left his contact information. Although he also suffered the accidental death of his aunt, the original body was more fragile, so he contacted Jim and regarded him as his emotional support. After that, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

But this time Lianyi didn't leave any contact information at all, and she handled the whole process of her aunt's affairs by herself. She didn't need any so-called emotional support at all, and didn't give Jim any chance to have an ambiguous relationship with her.

Lian Yi coughed lightly and said:

"I'll tell my friend and we'll go outside to talk about it."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate."

Jim felt that the girl opposite him was a little cold towards him, even though he had saved her, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he turned around and left after he finished speaking.

After Jim left, Nayi and Liu Yuang came up to her and asked:

"Ripple, you actually know Jim! Is that rumor true?"

"We met by chance, we're not very familiar with each other, he wanted to see me for something."

Lianyi didn't want her friends to misunderstand, so she simply explained.

Liu Yuang said:

"But I heard that you went to the basketball court to see him, and you two stayed in the locker room together for a long time."

The rest of Liu Yuang's words were silenced by Lianyi's stern gaze.

Nayi punched Liu Yuang angrily and said unhappily:

"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't say things without basis. Did you see it with your own eyes? You don't want Lianyi to become the public enemy of all the girls in the school, do you?"

"Me too. I heard it from others."

"Don't say it again."

After Nayi finished talking to Liu Yuang, she turned to look at Lianyi, her eyes burning with gossip, and she lowered her voice and asked:
"Lianyi, are the rumors true?"
