Chu Ge looked at the fortune teller, puzzled, and curiously asked, "Why are you showing me this?"

The fortune teller shook his head, "Just keep watching. Once you figure something out, then talk to me."

Chu Ge looked at him, speechless. Is this old man crazy?

"How am I supposed to know your intent if you don’t tell me? Or what exactly you want me to see?"

The fortune teller chuckled, "There’s a saying that goes, good things come to those who wait! You just need to watch slowly, don’t worry, you won’t be watching forever, just a few snippets!"

Helpless, Chu Ge could only grit his teeth and continue watching.

"Don’t write to me anymore!"

What letters? She hadn’t written any letters since the last misunderstanding! Did you mix up the names because too many people are writing to you?

"Does this count as a rejection?"

Hearing her words, Chu Ge stopped. "I never read these things."

"Does that mean I can try another way to get close to you?"

"Why do you want to get close to me?"

"Haven’t you heard of opposite attraction?" She was drawn to you three years ago.

Chu Ge said nothing. When he reached the school gate, he suddenly stopped and stared at the sign of F University, lost in thought, and softly murmured, "You shouldn’t have come here, and neither should I."

Why shouldn’t they have come here?

What did those words mean? The desolate image of Chu Ge lingered in her mind, maybe Su Ke might know something?

Mu Bingtong sought out Su Ke specifically because of that sentence.

"Su Ke, do you know about Chu Ge’s romantic history?"

"I’ve only heard rumors, that he came to F University for a girl who then went abroad as an exchange student. Originally, the exchange position was Chu Ge’s, but why it ended up being that girl, I don’t know. That’s all I know."

"Aren’t you his roommate?"

"I’m also an exchange student, I’m not from China, I’m from Singapore."

No wonder he doesn’t look like a foreigner.

"You’re mixed race?" Fang Lan asked.

"Yes, I came in the second semester, so I don’t know anything from before that."

"How did you meet Fang Huai then?" Fang Lan asked again.

What’s up with her curiosity today about Fang Huai? She looked curiously at Fang Lan.

"His family and my grandfather’s family are long-time friends." Fang Lan noticed her gaze, "Go ahead and continue asking, hahaha."

"Do you know the girl’s name?"

"I think it’s Nangong Ting, but that’s in the past, you should have confidence in yourself."

Fang Huai ran over, "Hey, the lovely Nangong, wasn’t I great last night?"

"I haven’t even confronted you two yet, you left me and ran away last night."

"We were creating an opportunity for you, did you confess?"

"Confess what? We barely spoke a few words."

Su Ke suddenly remembered something. "I once asked him why he didn’t look for a girlfriend, and he said his mom was from a scholarly family and had high standards for girls."

How high is high?

"You need a change in style." Fang Huai said thoughtfully.

"What’s wrong with my style?"

"Too aggressive! Being a gentle girl is so much better; what boy wants a girlfriend who’s like a tomboy? Look at our Fang Lan. Fang Lan, start transforming her from today!"

"Transform her? Spare Mu Bingtong, she’s afraid of being transformed!" Fang Lan resolutely declined with her hand supporting her chin.

"What’s the big deal? As long as Chu Ge isn’t bothered, that’s okay." Su Ke was right.

"Fang Huai, Mu Bingtong only wrote three letters, right? And it’s been such a long time, why did Chu Ge say last night not to write to him anymore?!"

"Su Ke!! It must be you again, right?!" Fang Huai began teasing Su Ke again.

"Fang Huai is just helping you, and Mu Bingtong feels that he might not dislike you that much."

"Am I that annoying?"

"Because other people’s letters he never listens to, but yours!"

Only hers? Haha, does that mean she’s got a chance?

"Chu Ge likes well-read women." Su Ke casually inserted a remark.

Well-read? Then start studying hard from now on!

...

Chu Ge found it all uninteresting, though the people inside looked exactly like those he knew, he was well aware that these weren’t the people he knew around him.

"Old man, I really don’t know why you’re showing me these things." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The fortune teller, seeing Chu Ge’s lack of interest, helplessly shook his head, "Young people these days, really have no patience at all."

He sat up, speaking meaningfully to Chu Ge, "What you’re seeing are all events happening in the Sixth Space-Time, and the people appearing there who look just like you, are another version of you. Right now, that other you is in your space-time."

Chu Ge looked at him confusedly, "What do you mean?"

"It means that there can’t be two identical people in the same space-time at once. He’s taken your place, and if you wish to return to your own space-time, it’s difficult."

Yet another sigh from the fortune teller.

Chu Ge suddenly fell silent. Difficult? But why doesn’t it feel difficult to him?

He always felt that since the fortune teller was able to find him, there must be a way to help him, but as for how, that was up to the fortune teller’s terms.

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Ge said, "Sir, I think since you found me, you must know something. Although I don’t know what you know, I do know that I’m not supposed to be in this space-time, and I don’t belong here. If I stay and change history, do you think space-time will still be stable?"

Hearing Chu Ge’s words, the fortune teller finally opened his eyes and squinted at him, contemplating for a moment before sighing, "Fine, I won’t make it hard for you. I’ll tell you this: to return, you must find a person. It’s through this person that you’ll return to the time you wish."

Chu Ge was confused, "Who should I find?"

"In our folklore, there’s a saying that the Vermilion Bird Star reincarnates to assist Canglong in altering destiny."

Vermilion Bird Star? Canglong?

Chu Ge was still a bit puzzled.

The fortune teller gazed deeply at him, "I’ll be frank; the Canglong they refer to is actually you. Altering destiny is about correcting the disturbance in time."

Chu Ge looked at him in shock. Never did he think he had such capability...

"So, what you must do now is find the Vermilion Bird Star."

The fortune teller took a letter from his robe and handed it to Chu Ge, "I’ve given you the answer you wanted. Now, off you go."

"Oh, right, there are two letters inside. One is for you, and the other is for you to give to Luo Qi, the Gang Leader of the Beggar Gang."
