Chapter 129: Meeting an Old Friend Again

Du Zihan, who had just finished his second year of middle school, was walking with his parents while playing games on his fathers iPhone 4S.

Du Zihan, can you stop playing with my phone while walking? Cant you have a proper chat with your mom and dad? His father scolded.

I got it, I got it.

Youll be taking the high school entrance exam next year. Make sure to pray to the Bodhisattva and ask for his blessings to help you achieve the admission score threshold of Baimei No.1 High School. If you can achieve that, youll save us tens of thousands of yuan, Du Zihans father continued.

Mm-hmm.

Du Zihans father, Du Yingjun, became furious. Hey, you brat! Are you listening to me? Do you want me to smash that phone?

Go ahead, its yours anyway, Du Zihan replied nonchalantly.

You ungrateful child!

Du Yingjun was about to raise his hand to give Du Zihan a slap when suddenly a voice came from behind them.

Hello, Uncle Du!

Du Yingjun stared at the handsome young man in front of him and felt a bit confused. Are youone of Du Zihans classmates?

Du Zihan looked up at the person and was also taken aback. Are you Messi?

Haha, not Messi Mei Fang chuckled, Im Mei Fang.

Oh, no, I havent talked to you in a long time, my tongue slipped. Mei Fang, Mei Fang! Du Zihan quickly corrected himself.

Mei Fang reminded Du Yingjun, Du Zihan and I were kindergarten classmates. You even held me when I was little. Dont you remember?

Du Yingjun scratched his head and thought for a while. Finally, he remembered Mei Fangs identity and immediately put on a somewhat flattering smile. Youre Mei Jus son, right?

Mei Ju? Which Mei Ju

Du Yingjun whispered to his wife:

Its that Mei Lijun from our previous workplace. He competed with me for the position of office director before. Now hes in Baizhou City

Du Yingjuns wife, upon hearing about Mei Fangs family background, was naturally delighted. I didnt expect that. He was such a little kid back then, and now hes grown into a handsome young man. Your parents are really fortunate.

Hehe not at all.

Mei Fang touched his head and smiled. Uncle and Auntie, are you here today to pay respects too?

Yes oh, by the way, you have finished the high school entrance exam, right? How did it go? Your dad said your grades were pretty good, so you should have met the score requirement for Baimei No.1 High School, right?

Umm I think I did? Im not quite sure.

Mei Fang had forgotten what the cutoff score for Baimei No.1 High School was this year.

Uh-huh but your family is not short of money, so you can easily get into Baimei No.1 High School. Unlike our Du Zihan, hell have to rely on his own exam results.

Du Zihan will take the exam next year, right? You have to study hard.

Uh

Du Zihan touched his nose, paused for a moment, and then pointed at Mei Fang. Wait, you didnt even take the Baimei No.1 High Schools entrance exam, right? I saw your name on the honor roll poster a while ago. You went straight to study at Jiangcheng No.1 High School.

Jiangcheng No.1 High School? Is this kid really capable?

Du Yingjun and his wife exchanged glances, thinking that there was no need to worship any Bodhisattva; they could just worship the great god directly in front of them!

So, since you two know each other, you should pay respect together. Mei Fang, are you alone? Didnt your parents come with you?

Mei Fang shook his head and pointed to a group of boys and girls waiting behind him. I came with friends.

Then, Du Zihan, you should come too! Young people should have fun together. Take the phone with you and call us later.

Why should I go? Im not familiar with them.

Oh, youre still shy even at this age Go, go! Socialize and learn from these seniors.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Mei Fang chimed in, But we havent bought tickets yet. We need to wait a bit.

Du Yingjun immediately patted Mei Fangs shoulder and said with a smile, Uncle is here today, so how could I let you pay? Uncle Du will cover the cost of the tickets for today!

Great! Thank you, Uncle Du!

So Mei Fang brought little Du Zihan over. Xia Yuan seemed somewhat disdainful because Du Zihan used to bully girls when he was younger, and she never had a good impression of him.

Ah Fang, why did you bring this troublemaker

Isnt it kind of fate that we are able to meet Du Zihan here?

They arrived at the Hand-washing Pool, where they saw many people throwing coins into the offering bowl in the middle of the pool and praying. They also clamored to join in throwing coins.

Ah Fang, you go first!

Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan. Do you want me to make a wish for you?

Xia Yuan shook her head, giggling with her hands behind her back. You can do it for yourself.

So Mei Fang took a coin and threw it in, succeeding on the first try. Everyone got excited and applauded.

Ah Fang, what did you wish for? It worked so quickly.

Um Im not telling. If I say it, it wont come true.

Well thats true.

Holding a coin, Xia Yuan silently prayed in her heart and then also threw it, succeeding on the first try as well.

Ah Fang, did you see that? Im amazing too!

I know, I know Mei Fang patted Xia Yuans head and praised her, then looked at Lin Youxi. Youxi, are you going to try?

Lin Youxi shook her head. I dont need it Im not feeling well today.

Well its okay if you dont. Because in the wish I just made, I included you too.

Then what about me, Ah Fang? Xia Yuan raised her head.

Of course, youre included too. Dont worry But I cant say it, or it wont come true.

Okay!

Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuans nose, and Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue both made a clicking sound at the same time.

Taking advantage of everyone being distracted, Du Zihan touched his pocket, took a coin, and silently prayed in his heart.

His mind was filled with the charming appearance of Peng Xue, her gentle expression when she talked to him earlier, making Du Zihan, who had never experienced the kindness of a beautiful girl, unable to forget.

Why was I so stupid when I was in elementary school Why did I like to bully Peng Xue and oppose her back then?

Du Zihan deeply regretted it now.

But now that weve met so many times, it must be some kind of special fate, right?

Due to these vague thoughts, Du Zihans face turned red.

With all his strength, he threw the coin.

Plop.

The coin fell into the pool.

Du Zihan wasnt annoyed.

Anyways I still have plenty of coins in my pocket.

Du Zihan tossed all his coins and none made it into the bowl.

Du Zihan cried incessantly.
