Fu Ruhai's desk was piled with several economics books, stacked haphazardly, appearing as if just consulted.
Liu Sandao's desk, initially, also held economics books.
But with a flick of Liu Sandao's finger, the books were put away, and the desk was instantly spotless.
He craved quiet at that moment.
Only the two of them were in the dormitory.
Yet, there was no hint of familiarity; it was even less warm than their first meeting.
One might think they didn't know each other, but everyone at school knew they were inseparable.
Some had even suspected: were they a couple?
However, it was merely speculation, something that could only be speculated upon, waiting for solid proof.
By the time they finished tidying up, it was already 9:30 PM.
Besides Mei Ziqi, there was another person's bed in the dormitory, named Fang Zonghai.
Because he shared the character "Hai" with Fu Ruhai, classmates nicknamed them "Big Sea" and "Little Sea."
Needless to say, Big Sea was Fu Ruhai.
"Let's go, we need to see off a Fu Guo at the school gate!"
"You go yourself, I don't want to!"
Just as Fu Ruhai finished speaking, he heard Liu Sandao say impatiently.
It wasn't that he insisted Liu Sandao accompany him, but if Liu Sandao didn't go, how would he learn to bestow Fu Guo?
In fact, he had already explained all this to him: he would guide him for three months, teaching him how to bestow Fu Guo; after three months, he could act independently.
"Don't forget our agreement!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sandao frowned and got up.
Fu Ruhai had explained his purpose for descending to the mortal world and his task.
Although he was very reluctant, Fu Ruhai had said that if he bestowed one thousand three hundred Fu Guo within a year, the agreement could be terminated early, and his freedom would be restored.
This time, he didn't sign a written agreement.
As a celestial being who kept his word, he certainly wouldn't go back on it.
Besides, after living in the Celestial Realm for many years, it had become rather dull.
A somewhat noisy mortal world offered a good opportunity for some travel; a mere sixty years was not a long time.
Moreover, if he wished, he could bestow one thousand three hundred Fu Guo in a single day.
...
The distance to the school gate was not far, and considering they were deities, they could arrive instantly. Sùdān xiǎoshuō wǎng.
Liu Sandao waved his hand, intending to be there with a flick of his sleeve, but Fu Ruhai stopped him.
"We've descended to the mortal world, meaning we are mortals. We should avoid showing off too much whenever possible, lest we expose ourselves."
Liu Sandao had no choice but to comply, following Fu Ruhai out of the dormitory and towards the school gate.
The south gate of Qingkong University was the main entrance.
A huge granite slab stood at the entrance, five meters high and three meters wide.
It was inscribed with four large red characters: "Qingkong University."
Ten o'clock at night was a bustling time.
Students just out of class, in small groups; couples, engrossed in each other, in pairs.
Even noisier was the area near the restaurants across the road, with brightly lit shops and small vendors hawking their wares in the corners.
To the left front of the school gate was a crossroads.
Many people stood at the crosswalk, waiting for the light to turn green.
If there were no unpleasant things in the world, this would also be paradise.
"3, 2, 1."
As the numbers on the traffic light changed, the quiet crowd stirred.
But at this moment, a long roar shattered the calm.
"Get out of the way!"
A student with a ponytail, riding a mountain bike, rushed through.
It was Fang Zonghai!
He was originally making a right turn towards the inside of the school and could have turned directly. However, because the light changed and the crowd began to move, and he was unwilling to wait, he could only shout loudly.
Some people saw him and quickly moved aside; others didn't, becoming somewhat flustered.
His eyes were fixed ahead, rushing forward whenever there was an opening.
One had to admit, young people always enjoyed a challenge, especially in front of a crowd.
At this moment, a girl was crossing the road from right to left.
The situation was somewhat abnormal, practically suicidal.
It should be noted that at this time of night at Qingkong University, cars were scarce, but not nonexistent, otherwise, so many people wouldn't be waiting for the traffic light.
Liu Sandao knew Fu Ruhai had come to bestow Fu Guo, perhaps it was for her?
Logically, it should be for her, if her life was not meant to end.
Because at that very moment, a small car was speeding out of the school gate, its high beams on, directly heading towards the opposite side of the road.
The car should have been able to see the situation on the road and stop in time, or drive slowly, but it didn't; it even accelerated.
The female student didn't yield either, continuing to walk, even picking up her pace slightly as the car accelerated.
This was truly: a member of the death squad!
Liu Sandao looked at Fu Ruhai, waiting to see what he would do.
Unexpectedly, Fu Ruhai patted his pocket, took out a handbook, made a mark in it with a pen, and put it away.
"Great disaster averted, inevitable good fortune. Saved."
After saying this, Fu Ruhai took out a Fu Guo from his handbook.
He tossed it towards Fang Zonghai.
Liu Sandao's heart skipped a beat. Was something wrong? Wasn't he supposed to save the girl?
But then again, such reckless behavior might warrant death.
Who could you blame if you ran through a red light without looking?
On the other hand, Fang Zonghai was making a safe right turn. Although he was a bit hasty, as long as he didn't rush into the middle of the road, he would be fine.
But the Fu Guo was indeed thrown to Fang Zonghai, and as soon as it hit his head, it disappeared into him.
After completing this, Fu Ruhai's face was radiant, beaming with a smile.
Of course, no one else saw it, only Liu Sandao knew.
After receiving the Fu Guo, Fang Zonghai's bicycle failed to brake. His right turn was too wide, and he swerved into the middle of the road.
He had a habit of night cycling and had adequate riding gear.
Today, he was wearing a green jacket with a reflective strip.
Under the car's headlights, it would reflect light.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of light zipped by, and the driver hastily slammed on the brakes.
"Screeeech!"
The piercing sound drew the attention of many onlookers towards the middle of the road.
Accompanied by a "clang!", Fang Zonghai's bicycle was hit by the car.
Fang Zonghai also fell to the ground, about two or three meters away.
The car had hit the rear of the bicycle, so the impact was not severe, and Fang Zonghai was unharmed.
The girl who had been crossing the road also narrowly escaped the danger, disappearing into the vast crowd at some point.
Bystanders who witnessed the entire event gathered at the roadside.
Someone with a kind heart immediately called the traffic police.
Fu Ruhai hurried to Fang Zonghai's side and called out:
"Little Sea, are you alright!"
Liu Sandao followed, remaining silent.
He was still trying to understand why Fu Ruhai hadn't given the Fu Guo to the girl but to Fang Zonghai.
To be honest, if he hadn't been hit by that Fu Guo, Fang Zonghai might not have swerved into the middle of the road.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I'll be alright after a rest!"
