Well... this fireworks guy must be a die-hard Li-Ning fan.
When he stepped out of the house and into the yard, his expression still looked somewhat dazed.
"You asked?" Gonggong glanced at Chen Xiao: "No, you don't need to tell me the content of the conversation! That's the rule!"
Chen Xiao thought about it—it seemed like he had gained something, but at the same time, it seemed like he hadn't gained anything at all.
Anything is possible...
Holy crap! This is such a rip-off!
The second person to go in was Cabbage Girl.
Cabbage Girl rushed into the house. Upon first seeing the elegant fireworks, she couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Then, the girl nervously stared at the fireworks for a long time, her face flushed, twisting her clothes nervously, and asking hesitantly:
"Please, please tell me, who is my future husband? Is he... is he outside right now? Is he that young man outside?"
A few minutes later, Cabbage MM ran out of the room excitedly, but when she returned to the yard and saw the people in the yard for the first time, the expression on her face immediately fell!
Standing with Gonggong in the courtyard was not Chen Xiao! It was... Young Master Xu!!!
The guy stood under the elm tree in the yard with a grin on his face and his arms crossed.
Bai Cai's expression was one of utter horror and despair, as if she had seen a hanged ghost in broad daylight. Then she suddenly screamed, pointing at Xu Ershao: "You!! You!! How could you be here?! Where's Chen Xiao?!"
"Chen Xiao?" Young Master Xu looked a little confused. "He seemed to have something on his mind, so he went back to the car first... As for me... I saw that you guys hadn't come out for so long, so I was a little worried and came over to check on you."
Bai Cai stared at Xu Ershao in despair, her expression as if she wanted to tear him apart on the spot! A delicate voice laughed, "Fireworks, thank you for your help."
Fireworks didn't turn around, but simply took a sip of tea and smiled calmly: "You can say thank you... that's rare."
A girl walked out from behind, and it was none other than Phoenix!
Phoenix walked over to Fireworks, gently tugged at her sleeve, and said softly with a smile, "Alright... you only see everyone in the world once, so I'm the only friend you see regularly!! You started this whole thing, didn't you..."
Fireworks smiled, reaching out to hold Phoenix's small hand. Her voice was filled with affection and doting. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Little Phoenix, I regret it... I shouldn't have told you who your future man was... That way you wouldn't have gone to find this young man... If you hadn't gone to him, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet him... and I wouldn't have seen so many amazing futures in him..."
However, after a pause, her expression became somewhat serious.
"Phoenix, I don't know how to tell you this."
"Hmm, what?" Phoenix's cheeks actually flushed crimson.
"I feel very uneasy... I've seen so many people, but seeing this young man today is the first time I've felt this deep unease!" Fireworks said seriously, "I see his future, and the path is very strange, full of all sorts of anomalies... In fact, I've discovered that finding a straight path is extremely difficult! I've never seen anyone like this before! In other words, his entire future is almost entirely composed of one accidental or changeable factor after another!"
Phoenix seemed not to understand: "What does this have to do with your unease?"
"Because I'm worried about you!"
A hint of contradiction appeared in Yan Hua's eyes. She frowned and said, "I don't understand either... Maybe I should put it this way."
She sighed, her eyes fixed sternly on the phoenix: "In your destiny, he is destined for you, inevitable! But in his destiny, you are not destined for him, but merely a coincidence!!"
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Transparent World
Gonggong was the last to go in. When he came out, his expression was normal, but the perceptive Chen Xiao subtly sensed a change in Gonggong's eyes—a very subtle change, yet Chen Xiao still noticed it. However, because of the rule, Chen Xiao didn't ask Gonggong what Yan Hua had told him—even if he did, Gonggong wouldn't tell.
When they arrived at the alley entrance, Chen Xiao hadn't gotten into the car yet. His mind was still replaying what Yan Hua had told him about "the alley entrance," and he subconsciously looked around…
Suddenly! A scream came from afar...
"Robbery!! Robbery!!!"
A woman's voice was heard, followed by a man rushing towards them from the alley, clutching a woman's purse in one hand and a dagger in the other.
From afar, the man came running, brandishing a dagger and shouting viciously, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way if you don't want to die!" Occasionally, pedestrians on the road would see his fierce appearance and the gleaming dagger he was brandishing, and they would quickly dodge to the side.
Chen Xiao was about 100 meters away from him. Upon seeing this scene, he rushed forward without hesitation!
At that moment, the robber had already run out of the alley and was running wildly across the road. He was probably running too fast and didn't notice that a minibus was speeding towards him at the corner of the intersection!
Chen Xiao was less than ten meters away, watching helplessly as the robber dashed across the road. The minibus driver, completely unprepared for such a reckless move, slammed on the brakes and swerved sharply—the bus screeched to a halt, its wheels leaving a U-shaped mark on the pavement! Then the minibus crashed head-on into a roadside utility pole! And then it flipped over!
A car crashed into a utility pole, shattering the windshield. The driver, his face covered in blood, managed to stop the vehicle, but a metallic groan followed as the pole snapped in half, sparks flying from the breaking wires, and crashed to the ground—half of the pole lay across the road, one end smashing into the glass window of a nearby shop, quickly bursting into flames. The shop immediately burst into flames…
A series of chain reactions left Chen Xiao stunned. The robber had already fallen to the ground, the bag he had snatched was gone, and even the dagger in his hand had fallen to the ground. He stared around in disbelief.
Chen Xiao was stunned for less than twenty seconds. Suddenly, chaos erupted around him: screams from the passengers of the minibus, gasps from pedestrians, and cries for help from shopkeepers…
In that instant, it seemed as if countless forks in the road lay before Chen Xiao!
What choice should we make first?
The robber had fallen and was struggling to get up and escape... The minibus driver was seriously injured and needed help. The passengers were terrified because the bus had overturned and the doors were blocked. Those inside were frantically pounding on the bus, and some were trying to break windows to escape...
A broken utility pole crashed into a shop, causing a fire...
In that instant, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered what Yan Hua had said to him not long ago...
Your future is made up of countless forks in the road and countless choices!
In a fleeting moment, it seemed as if so many choices appeared... Should we apprehend the robber? Or rescue the people trapped in the overturned car? Or go put out the fire?
Chen Xiao finally moved. He sprinted towards the overturned car, jumped on, and smashed the window with his fist. He then struggled to pull two people out. At this point, more and more pedestrians joined in the help. Some even called the police…
As for the robber, he slipped away quietly amidst the chaos, leaving behind a dagger and a woman's handbag on the ground...
“His life is made up of countless choices. The reason I say his future is the strangest I’ve ever seen is because of this. I’ve seen too many people, and many of their futures are a straight line, many of which are already predetermined—but not his. His future is full of variables.”
