Chapter 36

Although Jiang Ping was already a person with two lives, he still couldn't help but be startled when he heard the phrase "find your parents." However, since he had the soul of an uncle, he quickly calmed down and said, "It's not that I'm skipping school. I just haven't been feeling well these past few days."

Li Qian also felt that it wasn't good for Jiang Ping to skip school at such a time, so her initial tone was somewhat complaining. But after hearing that Jiang Ping wasn't feeling well, the girl immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Is it serious?"

Although he felt a bit embarrassed to deceive Li Qian, who cared for him, Jiang Ping could only continue to make up a story: "I just have a bit of dizziness and nausea. I've seen a doctor, and he said it might be a lingering effect from the concussion I had in the previous car accident."

Hearing this, Li Qian became even more worried and asked anxiously, "Is it serious? The college entrance exam is just around the corner, what are we going to do?"

The girl's concern made Jiang Ping feel warm inside, and he quickly whispered to reassure her, "Don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious. I feel much better today, and I can go to school tomorrow."

Knowing that Jiang Ping could go to school the next day, Li Qian felt much more relieved and quickly whispered to remind him, "My dad is really angry this time. You must explain it to him properly tomorrow."

"Rest assured, I will," Jiang Ping promised Li Qian seriously, then whispered, "Knowing that you care so much for me, I feel much better now. My head doesn't hurt at all anymore!"

"Annoying!" Although she said she was annoyed, Li Qian felt a sweet warmth in her heart. However, she didn't forget to whisper to Jiang Ping, "Rest early if you're not feeling well. Good night!"

"You too, good night." Knowing that the girl was shy and couldn't take too much teasing, Jiang Ping stopped at the right moment and hung up the phone after saying goodbye to her.

However, Li Qian's words did remind Jiang Ping that he needed to find a reasonable excuse for not going to school these past few days, otherwise, with Li Linxiang's strict personality, he wouldn't let it go.

So, the next morning, Jiang Ping rushed to the nearby hospital and got an urgent appointment. The doctor on duty listened to Jiang Ping's symptoms and, in combination with his previous medical records, diagnosed him with "post-concussion syndrome" without hesitation. At Jiang Ping's request, the doctor also gave him a week's sick leave.

With this sick leave note, Jiang Ping felt more confident and went to school with peace of mind. Because of Li Qian's reminder, Jiang Ping first went to the teacher's office to ask for leave from his homeroom teacher, Li Linxiang.

Although Li Linxiang was very dissatisfied with Jiang Ping's absence at such a critical time, he had nothing to say when he saw Jiang Ping's medical records and sick leave note. After all, Jiang Ping had just been in a car accident, and it was normal for him to feel unwell.

Li Linxiang put away Jiang Ping's sick leave note and said earnestly, "Jiang Ping, encountering this at such a crucial time before the college entrance exam is indeed unfortunate. However, you must not give up on yourself because of this. You should still strive to perform at your best and aim to get into a good university, understand?"

If it were in his previous life, Jiang Ping might not have taken Li Linxiang's words seriously. But now, he knew that this homeroom teacher genuinely cared for his students, so he answered seriously, "I understand, Mr. Li. Although I haven't been to class these past few days, I've been reviewing at home and haven't relaxed my standards."

Although Jiang Ping was completely making this up, it made Li Linxiang very satisfied. He nodded lightly and said, "It's good that you have such determination. It's not early, go back to your classroom for class."

To be honest, Jiang Ping didn't want to stay in the teacher's office any longer. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he noticed Li Linxiang looking up at him. In that moment when their eyes met, Jiang Ping suddenly had a thought and focused his attention on the teacher.

This focus revealed something to Jiang Ping. He noticed a faint purple aura between Li Linxiang's eyebrows. Although this faint purple aura was almost imperceptible, it was indeed there. Even though it only flashed for a moment, Jiang Ping saw it clearly.

What surprised Jiang Ping even more was that this purple aura at Li Linxiang's forehead was different from the other colors he had seen, which represented different fortunes. The various colors he had seen on others' foreheads almost completely covered the entire area. However, the purple aura on Li Linxiang's forehead was not as large, only concentrated in the middle, leaving a clear ring of blank space around it.

In fact, the area of the forehead is quite small, and the purple aura flashed by so quickly that no one else could have noticed such a subtle difference. It was only because Jiang Ping, in his previous life, was a famous thief and forger of antiques, with an extremely keen eye for detail, that he could see the purple aura on Li Linxiang's forehead so clearly.

However, although Jiang Ping saw it clearly, he had no idea what it meant. This was the first time he had seen a purple aura on someone's forehead, and he didn't know what the purple aura represented or why it was smaller on Li Linxiang's forehead.

If he had seen the purple aura on someone else's forehead, Jiang Ping wouldn't have thought too much about it. He could just wait and see what would happen to that person to understand what the purple aura represented.

However, seeing the purple aura on Li Linxiang's forehead made Jiang Ping feel quite troubled. Not to mention that in his previous life, Li Linxiang had helped his family when his sister was sick, and just based on the faint affection between Jiang Ping and Li Qian in this life, he couldn't remain silent if he knew something bad might happen to the girl's father. That would be too cold-blooded.

However, the problem Jiang Ping faced was that he himself didn't know what the purple aura represented, so how could he warn Li Linxiang? Moreover, given Jiang Ping's understanding of Li Linxiang, even if he took the risk to warn him, the upright but stubborn teacher wouldn't believe him and might even think that Jiang Ping's brain was damaged in the car accident. For a moment, Jiang Ping felt very troubled and didn't know what to do.

Of course, Li Linxiang had no idea that Jiang Ping was worried about his safety. Seeing that Jiang Ping was still standing there, Li Linxiang couldn't help but frown and say, "Why are you still standing there? Class is about to start!"

"Oh, see you later, Mr. Li!" Reminded by Li Linxiang, Jiang Ping quickly said goodbye to him and returned to his classroom.

Because he had been delayed at Li Linxiang's office, Jiang Ping returned to the classroom just as class was about to start, and the students were already quietly sitting in their seats.

Although Li Qian was very curious about how Jiang Ping was doing, she couldn't ask him in this situation and could only give him a questioning look.

Seeing the concerned look on the girl's face, Jiang Ping had a sudden idea and thought of a way to warn Li Linxiang.
