"That's a hundred burritos!" Liang Chunfeng shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wen Yi turned sideways to look at his senior brother. No wonder when Master mentioned him, he used a tone that was even more disappointing than his own. This senior brother is really..."
"That's how it is with everyone in their sect."
"Wen Yi continued to struggle with English. He only scored 25. He had originally thought that if he scored 50, combined with his regular scores, he would at least pass. Now that he scored 25, the teacher gave him an extra 25 for his regular scores. Now that he scored 50, the teacher was already very good to him. But no matter how good he was, there was no way he could have gone against his conscience and given him a higher regular score than his test score."
"At this time, new orders came to the door."
"Only then did Wen Yi realize that his reputation had spread to the outer courtyard."
"This time, the person who approached him was a female classmate from the Foreign Languages College. She was broke and couldn't afford the consultation fee, but she'd been troubled by something recently, so she approached Wen Yi. Her family was very poor, but she was very good at English. Last semester, she took the Level 4 exam for her major and ranked first in her grade. After hearing her request, Wen Yi accepted the job, demanding that he tutor her until she reached a passing level."
"Master, do you also need to learn English?" the other party asked cautiously.
"For a hundred burritos." Noticing the other person's puzzled look, Wen Yi quickly corrected himself, "For internationalization."
"The girl came to see Wen Yi because she wanted to see her grandmother. She was raised by her grandmother, while her younger brother worked away from home with their parents. She had a close relationship with her grandmother, but the year she passed away, the bus she was riding broke down on the way, so she missed her last chance to see her. She keeps dreaming about her grandmother, and every time she tries to say something, she disappears. 'I heard that if I talk to her, I'll never see her again.'"
"That's what I'm saying," Wen Yi said, not denying it. "But it's not impossible to say it."
He looked at the girl's face, then at the photo of her grandmother that she carefully kept, and suddenly said, "You will live a good life."
"Don't worry, everything will pass."
"I don't know why, maybe it was the unspeakable determination in Wen Yi's words, or maybe it was because no one had said such words to her in a long time, but the girl suddenly felt a lump in her throat."
"For her, grandma was her only relative. Although her parents were still alive, they only cared about her younger brother. In this world, grandma was the only one who cared about her. Therefore, for her, grandma's death was the collapse of the cornerstone of her entire life."
"Why did grandma come to her in her dream? Maybe it was because grandma knew she wasn't doing well and she had something to say to her."
"She only learned from her classmates that there was a master like Wen Yi in the academy next door."
"She had actually already made up her mind. Once she knew what her grandmother said to her in the dream, she no longer had any attachment to this world and planned to leave because she didn't know what the point of continuing to live was."
"The day my grandmother passed away, the weather was overcast. She didn't cry. Instead, she listened to her parents arguing that the jewelry she had saved in her youth should be left to her granddaughter-in-law. It didn't matter if she, the granddaughter, didn't get any. 'Mom took care of her for so many years, it's fine if she doesn't give anything in return, but how could she covet her jewelry?'"
“…”
"She finally heard what her grandmother said."
"Grandma stayed in her dreams, not because she wanted to talk to her, but because she knew she didn't want to live anymore."
"She's doing well in that world, and you should be well too," Wen Yi said. "Get some sleep, and you'll feel better tomorrow."
“…”
"Many years later, at an S University alumni event, Wen Yi met that girl again. She had a clear and upright face. Although she was middle-aged, she didn't show any trace of sadness. There was a sense of ease and joy between her brows, and it was obvious that she was living a very good life."
"You should have seen what I was thinking that day," the other person said to Wen Yi with a smile. "Then one day I suddenly realized that it wasn't my grandmother who said that to me. You saw what I was thinking at the time and told me that through her, right?"
Wen Yi shook his head and smiled: "I never cheat my customers."
“Maybe.”
"Wen Yi is half right. He never cheats his customers, but that doesn't mean he only has one customer."
"Not long before the other party came to his door, he had just received an order - an elderly man from the underworld. The other party had passed away, but was unwilling to forget the mortal world and reincarnate. Wen Yi took this order as a middleman. He learned that the other party had a granddaughter who was worried about him. As a result, not long after accepting the order, the granddaughter also came to his door."
"He's also a blessed person, a good person, but his family ties are a little weak. But this is easy to understand - good people are destined not to stay with evil people for long. They will only be tortured by them. Staying away from them is the right thing to do."
"It is precisely because of this long absence that her good fortune can benefit me."
【A heartwarming story! 】
The main thing I like about "No Fortune Telling Today" is that it's filled with small, earthly stories about ordinary people's troubles. They're not so epic, but they're just as memorable.
