The Consequence of Judging Others by Appearance

ts, got married at twenty five, have a good relationship with your wife and have one son, am I right?” The young man leaned on the tree.
His voice was gentle like the wind that made others feel at ease.
　　
The chubby driver was stunned because he was so accurate.
His parents did not have a child after being married for a long time.
So when they finally had him, they loved him to bits.
He met his wife when he was in university, so they got married within two years after graduating and had one son together.

The thin driver was annoyed when he saw the chubby driver’s shocked expression.
All fortune tellers liked to play similar tricks by describing your childhood and family.
The truth was that one could guess that as long as they were observant and could deduce it from their appearance and behaviour.
It was completely unrelated to fortune-telling.
　　
The thin driver thought that he would continue saying nonsense, but this young man did not say anything else anymore.

“No one has a perfect destiny.
Those who are almost perfect already have the heaven’s blessing,” the young man glanced at the chubby driver.
“If you believe me, take another route home today, you’d avoid a big misfortune.”

After he said that he took the wooden sign and the three hundred yuan and left slowly like a mysterious sage.
　　
The thin driver thought that this didn’t seem right…

But he didn’t have the time to think more about it as the traffic police had come over to deal with the incident.
After sharing the experience of hiding from the sun under the same tree, both of them compromised and the matter was settled quickly.

After being out for the whole day, it was already after 9 in the evening when the chubby driver was going home.
Since his car was sent for repair, he had to take public transportation.
After getting off the bus, as he was about to go into an alley, he tripped on a brick and remembered what the young man with the dimples said early in the afternoon.

He looked at the empty alley and hesitated for two seconds.
Finally, he decided to take a longer route home.
　　
After a few steps, he heard a loud sound coming from the alley as though something heavy had fallen down.
His heart trembled and he quickly turned around and ran home.
He was shocked by what happened in the alley.

Not far from the entrance of the alley, there was a lot of fallen debris.
The balcony of a house had collapsed.

If he had taken this route…

On a hot summer night like this, he couldn’t help but shiver.
　　
“Qian Qian, you’re our reborn parents!”

“Yes, I love you so much.”

“Go away, I don’t love you.” Qi Yan was disgusted by his roommates and pushed them aside.
Then he put dinner that he brought home on the table and said, “Share it among yourselves, I’m going to shower.”

His roommates watched him take out a wooden sign.
They were calm as they were long used to Qi Yan pretending to be a fortune-teller.
　　
After showering, his three roommates already finished dinner.
The whole house smelled like food.
He stretched his leg and kicked the stool that was in his way.
He walked to his desk, turned on his computer and donated three hundred yuan to a charity.

His teachers had instructed him to tell fortune three times a month and the money earned cannot be used on himself, but only for charity.
　　
“I will be going home the day after tomorrow,” The eldest one smiled forcefully.
“My family has found me a job.
The salary is not high, but it’s stable.” It’s not that he was unhappy with his family’s arrangement, but he was reluctant to leave his brothers so soon.

At the mention of this, the four of them became quiet.

The four of them had lived in the same house for four years.
Now that they would be going their separate ways, how could they be happy?
　　
“Let’s have a nice meal tomorrow, my treat!” Wang Hang was the third eldest among them, a native of Capital City and his family was well-off.
“When I’m rich in the future I won’t forget you!”

“Sure, let’s have a big meal tomorrow.”

“We only eat the expensive stuff!”
　　
Qi Yan turned off his computer, “First we have a few cups of Wuyi Dahongpao, and then get one of each kind of rare seafood.
What do you think?”

“Qian Qian is right, let’s order a few more.
If we can’t finish it we’ll just bring it back for supper.”

Talking about food, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed.

For the industrious and brave Chinese people, there was nothing that food could not solve.
If one meal failed, then two meals could solve it.
　　
The brothers chatted late at night before going to bed.
As the graduation season was approaching, there were four people in their dormitory.
Some went back to their hometown, some continued to study, and some went home to inherit their family’s business.
Each decided on a different path.

Qi Yan turned over on the bed and fell asleep, then he had a dream.

Someone kept talking beside his ear, and then slapped him on the forehead.
　　
“Huh!”

Qi Yan abruptly sat up from the bed, the old air conditioner in the bedroom was still blowing.
The sound was loud, but the cooling effect was not strong.
Turning it down to 24 degrees was only as cool as 27 degrees.
He yawned, wiped his forehead, glanced outside the window that was still dark, lied back down and continued sleeping.

Outside the window, the half-moon penetrated the clouds and the bright moonlight entered from the window, casting a faint light on the sleeping Qi Yan.
