There was another time when the two ran into each other and went to study together. However, before they even reached the entrance of the study room, a classmate’s backpack from upstairs inexplicably fell down. Luckily, I dodged quickly—just thinking about it still makes my heart race.

If it happened once or twice, it could be chalked up to coincidence, but the third time things got even stranger!

At that time, I was charging my phone while playing on it, when I suddenly received a call from Grace Bennett, the beautiful girl. We had barely exchanged a few words when, out of nowhere, my phone started emitting black smoke!

Frightened, I flung my phone far away. When I picked it up later, I found it was just one day out of warranty. So much resentment.

There was another time that was even more thrilling. At noon, I went to the cafeteria for lunch and ran into Grace Bennett. She invited me to sit with her, and all the students around looked on with envy.

After hesitating several times, I still walked over. After all, with so many eyes watching, when a beautiful girl invites you, you have to give her some face, right? But I had only taken two steps in her direction when—

“Whoosh!”

A plate came flying over and landed right on my face. Fortunately, the plate was piled high with food, so I wasn’t hurt.

But with rice grains all over my face and a few pieces of twice-cooked pork hanging from my hair, I was truly speechless.

Unlucky—there’s no better word for it.

Later, it turned out that a couple had been having a quarrel. The hot-tempered girl threw a plate at her boyfriend, but it ended up hitting me in the face.

Luck is a mysterious thing, hard to explain, but Henry Clark had to admit, from childhood until now, he had never been this unlucky. And every time something bad happened, it was always after some interaction with Grace Bennett.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

So, he kept a respectful distance from this beautiful girl.

He never expected to run into her here today, and she even greeted him warmly. What should he do? Henry Clark already had a bad feeling.

Even though he had started cultivating immortality, even cultivators can do nothing about the mysterious forces of luck. Was he going to be unlucky again today?

Maybe... he should just turn around and run away?

But that would be too rude—after all, Grace Bennett hadn’t done anything to offend him.

Hurting a girl’s confidence like that didn’t feel right. Henry Clark’s soft-hearted nature kicked in, but before he could finish the thought, the fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged girl was already standing right in front of him.

Henry Clark could only cry in the bathroom—when it comes to pretty girls, he really is too indecisive.

What to do? Running away now would be too obvious.

Chapter 10: Good Luck Again Today

“What a coincidence, Henry Clark, you’re here for breakfast too.”

Grace Bennett said with a radiant smile. Unlike Henry Clark, who looked wary, she actually had a very good impression of the boy in front of her. He seemed to have a lucky aura—every time she ran into him, something good would inexplicably happen to her.

She remembered once, she was so absorbed in reading novels that she forgot to study for an upcoming exam. She thought she was doomed—totally doomed. At that time, Grace Bennett had already resigned herself to failing.

Of course, giving up wasn’t her style. She had to put up a fight, so the day before the exam, she crammed some key points.

She didn’t expect much from this last-minute effort, and even Grace Bennett herself didn’t have high hopes. But right before the exam, she ran into Henry Clark, and the two of them went to the classroom together.

When the test papers were handed out, she stared in disbelief—could it really be such a coincidence? All the questions were on the topics she had reviewed the night before.

None of the things she didn’t know were on the test.

So not only did Grace Bennett not fail, she actually did pretty well.

If it had only happened once, it would be a stretch to link it to Henry Clark, but what about time and time again?

She remembered last semester, she logged into a shopping app and tried to snap up something she’d wanted for a long time. But her fingers were a bit slow—just 0.01 seconds after the sale started, it was already sold out.

Grace Bennett was disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. Just then, Henry Clark walked by, and they greeted each other. After that, she looked down and was surprised to find that someone had returned the item.

A flash sale... and someone returned it?

Was there any justice in the world? So Grace Bennett went all out and managed to snatch up her coveted treasure after all.

There were many similar experiences. You could even say that whenever she ran into Henry Clark in the cafeteria, the lunch lady might give her two extra eggs.

He was practically her invincible lucky charm, radiating good fortune. How could she not have a good impression of Henry Clark?

If it weren’t for the fact that he seemed a bit dense, Grace Bennett would have considered making him her boyfriend.

But chasing after a guy... would hurt her goddess image.

Why couldn’t this guy just take a hint?

No matter what, seeing Henry Clark always put her in a great mood, so of course she had to come over and say hi.

“Hey, Henry Clark, what’s that in your hand?”

Science has shown that pretty girls are always curious. Seeing Henry Clark’s phone screen, Grace Bennett leaned over for a peek.

Since he was a candidate for her future boyfriend, she naturally wanted to know more about his interests. Peeking at his phone might be impolite, but as a girl, she could get away with acting cute.

Oh no!

Henry Clark hurriedly tried to cover his phone screen, but because he was spacing out, he was a step too late. The sharp-eyed, long-legged girl saw everything.
