Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 140 - 141: The Spirited Lad Who Stole

"No, I don’t mind."

The man replied. He wore a hat and tilted his head up slightly, revealing a handsome, chiseled face with a very defined jawline. His looks were quite striking.

Unfortunately, age had caught up to him. His skin was loose, and his eyelids drooped.

He hadn’t kept himself in shape; even in an expensive suit, his protruding belly was obvious.

Seeing that her client had arrived, Su Nian snapped out of her thoughts. Her gaze swept over his body without lingering, but when she looked at his face, she noticed something was wrong.

On the pilgrim’s right eye was a small, black handprint.

The handprint was so dark it looked like it could drip ink.

Noticing Su Nian staring at his face, the man grew self-conscious.

"Heavenly Venerate, I’ve watched your live streams. I know you do more than just fortune-telling; you can do anything. That’s why I wanted to ask you to take a look at me!"

Su Nian remained calm. "What seems to be the main problem?"

Faced with Su Nian’s stunning beauty and exceptional presence, the middle-aged man was momentarily dazed. It took him a while to compose himself.

"It’s just that recently, my right eyelid has been twitching constantly. My friends all say a twitching left eye brings fortune, and a twitching right eye brings disaster!"

"I originally treated it as a joke, but my eyelid has been getting weirder and weirder."

"First, tell me the specifics of what’s been happening."

He had seen Su Nian staring directly at his face from the very beginning.

He figured the Master must have seen something, so he obediently recounted the whole story.

He took off his hat. His right eye was completely swollen, a blackish-purple color, as if he’d been punched.

He pointed at it gently, not daring to even touch his own eye, as if handling a newborn baby.

"I don’t know why, but one day, my eye suddenly started twitching for no reason."

[I have a trick for that. If your right eye twitches, stick a tiny piece of paper, about 1-2 mm, on your eyelid. The idea is that it ’twitched for nothing.’ It works like a charm.]

[Worried folks can give it a try, but this guy’s eyelid is so swollen, this definitely isn’t a normal problem!]

Su Nian frowned slightly. "And then?"

"At first, I just thought I wasn’t well-rested. I slept for two days, thinking that would fix it. But I never expected it to start twitching again in the middle of the night!"

"I suspected there might be something ’unclean’ in my house, but I hired several masters, and none of them could find anything!"

"So I just thought, ’Whatever, let it be. It’ll probably stop after a few days!’"

[An eyelid that twitches in the middle of the night?]

[I mean, isn’t that a little too intense?]

[That sounds super creepy to me, too. Who’s ever heard of an eyelid twitching for days?]

[Maybe it’s a medical condition!]

The man’s eyelid began to twitch again. The pain was making him break down, and his voice trembled violently. "I’ve always been keen on exercising and get regular check-ups at the hospital, but then this happened."

"And my eye just got more and more swollen, until now I can’t open it at all."

"Have you seen a doctor?"

"Of course!" the man sighed, his face filled with dread.

"At first, I thought it was a medical issue, maybe an eye infection or, more seriously, a neurological disorder. But I went to the hospital for tests, and there was nothing. Absolutely nothing!"

"My eye kept swelling, and now my right eye is nearly blind. But the scariest part is, my other eye has started twitching, too."

"I didn’t dare treat it the same way I did this one, so I rushed to find you."

Su Nian lowered her gaze. ’I think I’ve heard of something like this before.’

When Su Nian didn’t speak, the man thought she didn’t believe him and quickly explained, "And for some reason, my friends and those masters all say I’m fine! They can’t see anything different about my eye. They say I’m just tired, and some even said I’m going crazy!"

However, Su Nian’s gaze darkened. An idea was already forming in her mind.

She got straight to the point. "I understand. First, tell me what’s happened recently."

The man let out a long sigh of relief, so emotional he was on the verge of tears. After being dismissed by his family and friends, he had nearly lost all hope. He never thought someone in this world would actually believe him.

He asked, full of hope, "Is there a way to fix this?"

Su Nian didn’t answer, asking instead, "Has anything unusual happened recently?"

Zhang was stumped. He thought and thought, but he was sure he hadn’t done anything to feel guilty about.

Su Nian picked up a peach she had prepared earlier and took a small bite. The fresh, sweet fragrance filled her mouth as she watched the man rack his brain, a look of deep concentration on his face. She offered a hint. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"A month ago, a young punk came into your shop to buy cigarettes."

But unfortunately, the man still couldn’t recall. Silence fell between them.

The man looked at Su Nian, hoping for another hint, as the atmosphere had grown awkward.

When Su Nian didn’t respond, he felt even more lost and could only ask tentatively.

"Master, could you be a little more specific?"

He had watched many of Su Nian’s live streams. Although it was her face that first drew him in, after watching a couple of streams, he knew she didn’t just get by on her looks.

’That level of skill was no joke. She wouldn’t just say things for no reason, so the problem must have something to do with that young punk.’

’The problem was, he’d seen too many of those punks. Plenty of them bought cigarettes, so he had no idea which one she meant.’

The man cleared his throat and asked carefully, "Streamer, which one was it? Could you be more specific?"

Seeing he still couldn’t remember, Su Nian sighed softly.

"The one you accused of stealing."

"Stealing?"

"Yes. He claimed another little girl was the one who stole."

At that, a memory clicked. He ran a small convenience store.

It was located near the entrance of a vocational school, and most of the students were delinquents. For these image-conscious teenagers, cigarettes were the perfect prop.

It was as if not smoking a cigarette meant they couldn’t prove how tough they were.

Thanks to the school and the surrounding residents, his little store’s business had always been pretty good.

But, being a vocational school, there were a lot of delinquents, and people often came to his store to cause trouble.

Shoplifting, refusing to pay, using counterfeit money, cursing, and spewing profanities—these were all common occurrences for him.

As for the young punk Su Nian mentioned, he was on another level of disgusting.

Just thinking about him made Zhang furious. ’I was just a shop owner who got robbed. I said a few words to him—how could that lead to something like this?’
