I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
Li Wufang was speechless. He felt that he had encountered the biggest scam since the advent of the [Game of Faith], and also the biggest crisis.
However, the crisis was not the scam itself, but the fact that he was facing such an outrageous scam, but he was actually tempted by it.
An irresistible urge arose in his heart, and like a moth to a flame, he wanted to plunge straight into the brilliant fire of "fate"!
He looked into Cheng Shi's eyes with an extremely conflicted expression on his face. He was frantically weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Cheng Shi saw his hesitation, so he threw another small weight into the balance in the other's heart.
A weight called "self-persuasion".
"Tell me about yourself, Inspector. Why do you believe in "Fate" so much?"
The confusion on Li Wufang's face froze for a moment, and soon his eyes were filled with memories.
He didn't say much, but took out an old photo from his leather jacket and handed it to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi took it and found that it was a landscape photo taken in a city square.
Of course, it is not just a landscape. There is a fountain pool in the center of the photo, and inside the fountain pool, there is a child who is soaked all over. He is holding something in his hand, staring with his big eyes as if looking for something.
This is all the photo. Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise and recognized that the child in the photo was Li Wufang.
“Is this you?”
"Yes, this is me, my childhood self." Li Wufang nodded.
"You're...playing in the water?"
"No, I am... following the guidance of [Fate]."
"?" Cheng Shi frowned slightly, stopped talking, and began to listen to the other party's story quietly.
"I am an orphan."
“…” Congratulations, you already have the potential to be the protagonist.
Li Wufang didn't see Cheng Shi's wonderful expression. He looked at the photo with some nostalgia and grinned slightly:
"I grew up with my grandmother. When I was 12 years old, she fell seriously ill, a disease that no amount of money could cure.
There was nothing I could do but watch her lying in bed, her spirit becoming weaker day by day.
Until one day I realized that if I didn't do something, I would lose my grandma, so I imitated the ones in TV dramas and dressed myself up as a beggar and went to beg on the street.
The funny thing is that I didn’t need to dress up. I just put some dust on my face and people thought I was a real little beggar.
I went to the city square, where there were the most people. The uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who passed by all felt sorry for me. They greeted me, comforted me, and cared about me, but they gave me nothing.
I can't complain because they don't owe me anything.
My grandma also said that people should not be short of breath even if they are poor, but I can't help but be short of breath because she will die if I don't open my mouth.
So I cried and shouted in the square, hoping that everyone would give me some money. But as soon as I started crying, the people who had just been comforting, warming and guiding me suddenly dispersed, leaving me alone by the pool crying my heart out.
And it was at this time that the person who changed my life appeared...
He was wearing the same leather jacket as me that day."
As he spoke, Li Wufang raised his leather jacket, but to Cheng Shi, this strange action looked like he was showing off his biceps.
"......"
"I forgot what he looked like, but I remember that his voice was very hoarse. He said that he was blessed by the goddess of luck, and because he was so lucky, he could also bring good luck to others.
However, not everyone can have good luck. Only those who believe in fate will have good luck.
So he asked me whether I believed in fate.
I asked him if he believed in fate and that would make him get better, he said yes, so I said I did.
Then he gave me a dice and asked me to throw it hard into the sky, saying that when the dice fell, good luck would come.
I threw the dice obediently, and it fell into the pool.
I was stunned and wanted to ask him where his good luck came from, but by then he had disappeared.
At that time, I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to accept this good luck and make my grandma better, so I jumped into the water to find the dice, hoping it could give me guidance about good luck.
Unexpectedly, it actually gave me guidance.
The dice happened to fall on a coin. I picked up the dice and the coin and was looking at them carefully when an uncle passing by noticed me and quickly carried me out of the pool.
Later I found out that he carried me out not to save me, but because he saw the coin in my hand.
That coin is…very collectible.
I don't know why it appeared there, and I don't know why an uncle happened to pass by. I attributed it all to good luck. The uncle bought the coin from me, and the price was the money for my grandmother's surgery.
Later someone told me that the coin was worth much more than the cost of an operation, and that the old man had cheated me. I could have changed my destiny with that coin.
But in fact, I have changed my destiny, because the good luck I prayed for was to make my grandma get better, and destiny has favored me, so I am very grateful.
So from then on, I began to believe in fate, and it never changed until my grandmother passed away and the game came into being.
This photo was cut out from the newspaper that had the "Lucky Boy" headline.
"So your reward to fate is to choose [Order] at the beginning of your life?"
Cheng Shi almost laughed out loud. In his opinion, this was obviously a good deed done by a good person who did not want to reveal his name. It was even possible that the person who did the good deed was the uncle who bought the coins.
