I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

So this necklace must have been taken out of the safe by her.

It is known that Lu Haichuan rented the safe nine years ago.

This means that this "newborn necklace" has been lying in a safe without seeing the light of day for nine years.

But the one in Qingbao's hand was bought by Lu Chen three days ago.

It is obvious that Lu Haichuan would not put such a necklace into the safe for no reason.

He must have his purpose for doing this.

If we consider the nine-year time difference... Lu Chen can only come to one conclusion.

That is how Lu Haichuan "talks" to himself, making himself believe what he is going to hear next.

Its function is probably like a fortune teller being able to accurately tell your last name, thus proving that he does have the ability to predict your destiny.

In short, the necklace is not the point, there must be other things in the safe.

And those are the messages that Lu Haichuan really wants to leave for himself.

It might be the truth of the “destruction of the world” that Xia Yunian mentioned.

Finally, as to why Lu Shuyu said this was "evidence" that she would never be better than Qingbao...

"Lu Chen, this necklace belongs to classmate Wan Qing, right?"

Watching Lu Chen's expression change from disbelief to surprise, and then from surprise to complexity, after waiting for about a minute or two, Lu Shuyu asked a question softly.

In fact, she already had the answer to this question in her heart.

After a moment of silence, Lu Chen did not hide anything and nodded silently.

"Yes, I just bought it three days ago."

"As expected..."

Hearing that the necklace from three days ago appeared in the safe from nine years ago, Lu Shuyu was not too surprised. She just smiled and asked:

"Is it to commemorate the success of the operation?"

"Um......"

“So, it’s really an important necklace.”

Sighing softly, Lu Shuyu seemed to be talking to Lu Chen, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

Lu Chen wasn't sure whether she had read the message Lu Haichuan left for him, but it seemed like she had definitely guessed something.

At the very least, Lu Shuyu knew the function of this necklace.

Only the more important and meaningful something is, the more convincing it is.

And now, this "important and meaningful" thing belongs to Qin Wanqing.

This proves that in the future that Lu Haichuan sees, Qin Wanqing is the more important person.

Of course, Lu Haichuan also said that Lu Shuyu was Lu Chen's "destined bride", and at first glance these two seem to be somewhat contradictory.

After all, the idea that "the bride is not as important as the mistress" is obviously not reasonable.

However...strictly speaking, Lu Shuyu's "destiny" was actually completely due to "human intervention".

If Lu Haichuan hadn't arranged everything for her long ago, she and Lu Chen might not even know each other, let alone have any further development.

Even “man” is not destined.

Fifteen years ago, it was Lu Guanghong who chose Lu Shuyu between his two daughters.

Rather than a choice of fate.

In other words, if Lu Guanghong had chosen Lu Shuyue at that time, then the one sitting here and "breaking up" with Lu Chen at this moment would be another girl.

All of the above made Lu Shuyu finally understand one thing.

That is, the fate between Lu Chen and Qin Wanqing was destined.

As for her...she was just a third party who was forced in, a fool who had no choice, a dispensable character who would always be ranked second no matter how hard she tried.

As we all know, if there are multiple female protagonists in Japanese comics, Qingmei will definitely be defeated by Tianjiang.

No matter how deep the feelings between the childhood sweetheart and the protagonist were, the sudden appearance of the heroine from heaven will sweep away everything and eventually make the former a loser.

This setting, which goes against the universal value of "one should not abandon one's wife once married," probably implies human beings' awe of "fate."

Lu Chen had no idea what the actual situation was.

After all, he doesn't have a childhood sweetheart.

However, for Lu Shuyu, in a sense, she, who had been "cultivated" as Lu Chen's bride since she was a child, was Lu Chen's childhood sweetheart.

Whether it was because she had "never seen the world" or "compromised with fate", as she just said, she did not reject such an identity.

She could even accept that Lu Chen liked other girls.

It was for this reason that Lu Shuyu had not shown much dissatisfaction with Qin Wanqing's existence before.

If Qin Wanqing agreed, she could really "share a boyfriend" with the former.

However, Lu Shuyu also has his own bottom line.

As a lady from a wealthy family, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her previous life was one of luxury.

So she couldn't accept that she would always be the second most important person in Lu Chen's heart.

Just like those female supporting characters in novels who are madly in love with the male protagonist.

They can only appear when the plot requires them.

If they are not needed, they can only hide in some unknown corner, and the protagonist and readers will not care about them at all.

Lu Shuyu didn't want to be a supporting role in a relationship, and even less did she want to be the "second place" who only appeared when Lu Chen needed her.

She also made a lot of efforts to change all this.

But now, facts have proved that her efforts will be of no use.

Then the only thing she could do was to leave...

......

The night was dark, and the last corner of the full moon was covered by dark clouds. The wind was blowing more and more quickly, with a bit more dampness and coolness. The chirping of insects in the grass gradually disappeared.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to hold its breath, quietly waiting for a downpour.

Lu Chen and Lu Shuyu sat on the bench silently, not speaking for a long time.

The box containing the dandelion necklace was already in Lu Chen's hands. The silver pendant was a little dark, probably because of surface oxidation over time.

Although Lu Shuyu didn't say anything, Lu Chen could roughly guess what she was thinking.

Lu Chen really didn't know what to say about this.

After all, he couldn't say something like "You two are my wings."

Regardless of whether he is a scumbag or not, the key point is that this is definitely not his true thought.

Because if we have to compare, in his heart, Qingbao's position is indeed higher than that of the little rich woman.

From this perspective, Lu Shuyu's judgment was very accurate.

So if that was the case, Lu Chen even felt that ending it here would be a good choice.

Qingbao won't be sad, and she won't have to hide like a thief all day long.

The only problem is that the little rich woman will definitely be very miserable.

But......

"When did Grandpa Lu die?"

After closing the small box, Lu Chen turned to look at Lu Shuyu and silently changed the subject.

"May 5th."

Lu Shuyu replied softly: "11:55 p.m."

Number 8?

Isn’t this the day Qingbao has surgery?

And this time...

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Chen quickly recalled what happened at that time.

Qingbao had surgery on the evening of the 8th. He left the operating room at o'clock and woke up at :.

So I just said my first sentence at about 11:55.

This is too coincidental...

"Ah."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, feeling very complicated for a moment.

If he knew that Lu Haichuan also died in the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University, things would probably be more complicated.

However, Lu Shuyu did not mention this matter, but just lowered his head and continued:

"In fact, grandpa's health was very bad a few days ago. The cancer caused multiple organ failure and he has been staying in the ICU."

"The doctor didn't know why this happened, and he tried all kinds of treatments but nothing worked."

"The situation was apparently stable before, but it suddenly became like this."

"It's as if it was destined..."

After a pause, Lu Shuyu let out a light breath, and his voice became slightly stronger.

“After my grandfather passed away, I went to the bank.”

"20240508, the password is correct."

"Dad had been looking for it for so long, but he never expected the password would be a future date."

"Lu Chen..."

Turning around, Lu Shuyu asked with a smile, "So the future really can't be changed?"
