At this moment, what Bing Tianyi mentioned was the most significant event in his memory. Back then, he happened to be wandering near the bridge with Pang Yu when a loud noise occurred, nearly causing him to fall into the river.
He then went to take a look and waited until the paramedics rescued the injured from the bridge before heading home.
However, Shi Tao did not share this perspective. After all, that bridge had just undergone a quality inspection half a month ago; how could it collapse due to overload?
Although Shi Tao was skeptical, he didn't say anything to Bing Tianyi. He simply nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright then, let's see in three days."
Bing Tianyi nodded. After chatting for a while, he realized it was getting late and thought about his parents still busy at the store. He stood up and said with a smile, "Secretary Shi, please give me my fortune-telling fee; I’ll be on my way."
Upon hearing this, Shi Tao laughed and asked, "How much do you charge for a fortune-telling session?"
"Anything is fine; just a token amount will do. It’s better for both of us," Bing Tianyi explained.
Shi Tao chuckled and looked at Bing Tianyi meaningfully, saying, "In that case, let’s wait until three days later. I’ll have it ready for you then."
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "That works too. If anything comes up, please call this number."
Saying this, Bing Tianyi wrote down his phone number on a piece of paper he had and then turned to leave.
After Bing Tianyi exited, Shi Tao felt that the kid was somewhat exaggerating. If it weren't for the bet regarding the Double Bridge's collapse, Shi Tao might not have felt this way. However, hearing Bing Tianyi speak so confidently and precisely about the timing made it hard to believe.
As he reached the entrance of the community, Bing Tianyi smiled at the Security Guard standing not far away. The Security Guard noticed Bing Tianyi coming out and quickly approached him with a smile, saying, "Big Brother, are you leaving already?"
"Yes, why? Do you want to talk to me?" Bing Tianyi asked teasingly.
The Security Guard was stunned by what had just happened. It was only now that he believed the saying that one cannot judge a person by their appearance, and the sea cannot be measured by its depth.
"Big Brother, please don't misunderstand. Today's incident was my fault. I hope you can promote me in the future," the Security Guard said with a silly smile as he stepped forward.
"Alright, just work hard," Bing Tianyi replied, glancing at the Security Guard. He thought to himself, how far can one be promoted in this position? Aren't they still just security guards?
However, he did not voice these thoughts. Turning around, he left the community and looked at the bustling county town, feeling a sense of joy in his heart.
Bing Tianyi knew very well that only with a prosperous county town could he hope to earn more RMB in the future.
He headed straight to the west end of the square, completed two transactions quickly, and then returned to the store to help his parents.
Although the store was small, the booming business made Bing Tianyi feel a bit embarrassed. At this rate, he would be able to repay the money borrowed from Wu Zhaojun in less than two months.
Father Bing murmured to Bing Tianyi, and upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, there's no rush for that money. Let's wait until we gather 20,000 before giving Wu Zhaojun 10,000."
"You child, as the old saying goes, what is borrowed must be returned; it won't be hard to borrow again. That kid is so sensible; knowing we were short on money, he lent it to us. Now that business is doing well, we should pay him back early," Father Bing said directly to Bing Tianyi.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi helplessly smiled and replied, "Alright then, you decide."
Father Bing nodded and after a few seconds asked Bing Tianyi earnestly, "Child, you've been out of school for quite some time now. When do you plan to go back?"
"I'll see. I still have some matters to handle recently. Once I'm done with them, I'll go back to school," Bing Tianyi said while busy with his tasks.
Upon hearing this, Father Bing suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Bing Tianyi seriously. "Listen carefully, you silly boy. No matter how important things are outside of school, you must go back next week."
"Today is already Friday, and you want me to go to school next Monday? Are you kidding me?" Bing Tianyi said with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong? Do you think your wings have grown, and you don't want to listen to me anymore?" Father Bing replied sternly.
"Of course not, I just feel..."
Bing Tianyi wanted to explain seriously, but before he could finish his sentence, his father kicked him hard in the butt and said, "If you don't go to school next Monday, I'll break your legs."
"Alright, I'll go. Is that okay?" In the end, Bing Tianyi couldn't convince his father and could only nod in agreement.
In fact, Bing Tianyi also wanted to check out the school. After such a long time, he hadn't been involved in anything happening there. Wu Zhaojun had been handling things at school, and now that he had gained some recognition in society, it was necessary to show face for his friends at school.
Time quickly passed to the next day at noon. When it was almost eleven o'clock, Bing Tianyi left the store and headed towards Double Sealed Mountain.
However, after walking a few steps, he decided to take a taxi to avoid being noticed by others.
On Saturday, there were noticeably more people on the streets. As Bing Tianyi looked at the pedestrians on both sides of the street, he kept thinking about his relationship with Mei Fenfeng.
To be honest, this girl truly had a kind heart. It's just that she often had a stubborn mindset and didn't know how to adapt. If she could change her way of thinking and focus on her studies now, perhaps she could change her life after graduating from university.
Whether as a classmate or because he felt indebted to Mei Fenfeng from his previous life, Bing Tianyi thought it was necessary to clarify things with her.
Arriving at the foot of Double Sealed Mountain, Bing Tianyi got out of the taxi and paid the fare. Seeing no familiar faces around, he started walking up the mountain. Having grown up working hard since childhood, Bing Tianyi naturally had plenty of stamina for climbing.
After about forty minutes, Bing Tianyi reached the top of the mountain. He looked around and saw that the empty mountain was devoid of any signs of life. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Mei Fenfeng's voice calling from not far away.
"Stop right there," Bing Tianyi said, turning to look in the direction of the voice. To his dismay, Mei Fenfeng was accompanied by another girl from their class, Wei Min.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi felt utterly defeated. He had been in this class from First Year all the way to Senior Year, and he knew exactly who Wei Min was. Today, she had seen him on a date with Mei Fenfeng, and he estimated that by tonight, the entire class would know.
"I have to ask, what exactly did Pang Yu say to you?" Bing Tianyi asked Mei Fenfeng with a pained expression.
"He told me to come here and wait for you," Mei Fenfeng replied, looking down at Bing Tianyi.
"Then why did you bring Wei Min along?" Bing Tianyi said with a wry smile as he glanced at Wei Min.
At this, Wei Min wore a peculiar smile and candidly said to Bing Tianyi, "I know I'm a bit of an intrusion. How about this: since you're here now, I'll step aside and not stay with Mei Fenfeng."
With that, Wei Min prepared to turn and leave.
Seeing this unfold, Bing Tianyi quickly stepped forward and said to Wei Min, "No, please don't go. It would be better if you stayed nearby to witness us."
After he finished speaking, Wei Min feigned surprise and asked Bing Tianyi with her mouth agape, "Witness what?"
Looking at Wei Min's expressive face, Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly and remarked, "How is it that the wolves on this mountain haven't eaten you yet?"
Wei Min didn't catch what Bing Tianyi said clearly and curiously asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing important. Just stand aside and listen," Bing Tianyi replied as he shifted his gaze back to Mei Fenfeng.
At that moment, Mei Fenfeng still had her head down, resembling a child who had done something wrong, remaining silent.
Bing Tianyi took two steps forward and said helplessly, "Mei Fenfeng, let me make this clear. The other day when I fell into the water and was pulled out, I said those things because my mind was muddled. I confused you with a girl I liked before. So, I have nothing to do with you. You live for yourself, and studying is your own business. Don't drag me into any of this."
"What about what you said to me that night?" Mei Fenfeng lowered her head in a daze, and after a few seconds, she raised her head and frowned as she asked.
"I determined that no matter how hard you study, you won't get into a key university. You're just stubborn; there's a saying that fits you perfectly: a pig runs into a tree and doesn't know how to turn. Besides, look at yourself—how could I possibly like you?" Bing Tianyi said to Mei Fenfeng with clear enunciation.
Of course, at this moment, Bing Tianyi truly had no other options. If it were just Mei Fenfeng alone, he might have calmly sat down to reason with her. But now, with Wei Min present, if he didn't put an end to this matter decisively, it would be detrimental for both himself and Mei Fenfeng.
So it was better to speak harshly now and cut off Mei Fenfeng's feelings for him; short pain was better than long pain. Perhaps she could focus on studying afterward.
However, unexpectedly, after Bing Tianyi finished speaking, before Mei Fenfeng could respond, Wei Min suddenly interjected, "Bing Tianyi, that's enough! Don't think just because you have some connections at school that you're so impressive. Watch your words; be careful not to cut off your own future."
"Wei Min, this has nothing to do with you," Bing Tianyi forced a smile as he spoke to Wei Min.
Upon hearing this, Wei Min nearly lunged at him to tear his face apart and scolded loudly, "Bing Tianyi, you're the one who’s a comrade; your whole family are comrades!"
"Wei Min, that's going too far," Bing Tianyi glared fiercely at her.
Faced with this sharp-tongued girl, Bing Tianyi felt somewhat helpless. He knew that as a man, if he engaged in a verbal dispute with her now, it wouldn't reflect well on his reputation later.
"Bing Tianyi, I've seen through you. You're just relying on a woman to get ahead; what's so great about that? If it weren't for Chen Qian, would you be so impressive?" Wei Min's words were sharp and directly hit Bing Tianyi's heart.
Bing Tianyi was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected her to say such things.
