"If saying sorry was enough, what would be the point of having police?"
The man scratched his head, seemingly troubled. "This...it's just a small matter. Is it necessary to call the police?"
"A small matter?" Feng Guang tossed the broom aside, walked over to him, and held out both hands in front of his eyes, waving them around. "Look carefully, what is this?"
He said uncertainly, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be... a hand."
"No, it's a pair of jade-like hands, with skin as white as jade, without scars or calluses, whose ten fingers never touch water, and who never do physical labor!"
She tried to describe it with a string of adjectives, but he still didn't quite understand. "Isn't this still just a pair of hands?"
"Do you know that I never do manual labor?"
He answered honestly, "I don't know..."
"Now you know!" She withdrew her hand, giving him a cold look. "That day, you were the one who went to the play with me. You ran away, causing me to get scolded, and now you've ruined my hard work. Tell me, how should this be settled?"
Her assertive demeanor made his appear weaker, and he asked hesitantly, "Then how should it be calculated?"
"You, sweep this place clean." She crossed her arms, speaking seriously and with a fair attitude. "To show your appreciation for my emotional distress, you need to sweep not only this place, but also all the fallen leaves in this teaching building area."
This honest attitude makes it hard to believe that she was just looking for free labor to be lazy... Only she herself thinks so.
What you said... does make sense.
Feng Guang opened his eyes in surprise. No way, this man is so easily fooled?
"You wait here, I'll clean this place up right away." The man snapped his fingers stylishly, and the surroundings suddenly changed.
All the fallen leaves took flight, gathering together as if forming a giant dragon, before finally piling up and landing under the tree – a truly spectacular sight.
She stared in disbelief at the scenery, but quickly closed her jaw and said dismissively, "So what if you know magic? I can too."
He asked matter-of-factly, "Then why don't you use magic to clean this place?"
"I just... I just feel that things like making the campus more beautiful are more meaningful when done personally. If you solve it with magic in an instant, it's not very sincere." Actually, she didn't know how to use such profound magic at all.
“I see… Classmate, your level of understanding is far superior to mine. I concede defeat. In that case, I shouldn’t have used such insincere methods.” He deeply felt that his level of understanding was too low, which was a bad thing. So he snapped his fingers again, and the fallen leaves that had just piled up flew up again and returned to their original positions. He said seriously, “We should still use the most sincere method to clean up.”
What is the most sincere way? It's to sweep the floor with a broom.
Feng Guang's face was a mess of emotions, and he couldn't let out a word he was holding in.
He picked up the broom she had thrown away and put it back in her hand. "I want to do it myself. It would be a very enjoyable thing for you. After all, meaningful things only have meaning if you do them yourself. I shouldn't bother you in contributing to the campus. This incident also made me realize my shallowness. So I'll take my leave now."
He finished speaking and vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.
