The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

The person sitting in front of Shu Wanwan was Du Zijie.

"Why is Du Zijie here? Isn't he also broadcasting live?"

"Du Zijie seemed to be confused about what was happening in this group at first. He was about to watch the live broadcast on his phone to see what was going on. Then he kept watching Shu Wanwan's fortune-telling."

"Yes, yes, yes. Xue Yifan, who was in the same group with him, managed to put down his phone even after I pulled him several times."

“Hahahaha, who understands? Our Sister Shu’s fortune telling is so beautiful.”

"After reading the last divination, Du Zijie came straight over."

"Xue Yifan: They only have Shu Wanwan in their hearts. So sad, hahahaha."

Shu Wanwan looked at Du Zijie, who was a little out of breath due to running, and was not surprised. She still kept smiling and reached out to pick up an unopened bottle of mineral water from the ground and handed it to him.

"Give."

After a few gulps of the wine, Du Zijie slowed down and looked at Shu Wanwan.

"Master...Shu." Du Zijie really didn't know what to call Shu Wanwan now. He was a little embarrassed, then smiled shyly, "Master, I also have something I want to settle." Then he took out his mobile phone and transferred the money to buy the watermelon. He secretly glanced at Director Wei out of the corner of his eye. He was afraid that Director Wei would stop him. After all, according to the rules of the game, the guests should not buy each other's specialties to be promoted.

"Alas," Director Wei's assistant really wanted to stop it.

Director Wei raised his hand and stopped the assistant, "It's okay, I'll make an exception just this once."

The assistant was immediately struck by how incredible it was. Director Wei, known for his reputation as a judge of variety shows, actually let the show go? What kind of operation was this? It was simply unbelievable.

Du Zijie on this side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Director Wei had no intention of stopping him.

Seeing Du Zijie like this, Shu Wanwan found it a bit amusing. Her lips curled up again as she carefully examined his features. He had a full forehead, a square chin, plump eyebrows, distinct black and white eyes, and a round nose. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven; wealth is measured by the nose, and honor by the eyes. Although Du Zijie's disguise wasn't a huge hit, he was already a leader in his field.

After looking at Du Zijie's face, Shu Wanwan couldn't guess what he wanted to calculate. Just when she was about to count with her fingers, Du Zijie spoke himself.

"Master, I want to talk to you." Du Zijie paused, his expression a little lonely, and then he said, "When I was in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school, I had a very good friend named Tan Tao. We were in the same class at that time, and he and I lived in the same community. We often went to school and went home together. Although my family had some money at that time, I basically couldn't see my parents. They all worked outside. I could see them about once or twice a year, and it was my grandmother who took care of me. My grandmother didn't really like children. She would go play mahjong after cooking every day, and she would go out early and come back late. I didn't have many friends and my personality was very withdrawn. Over time, Tan Tao became my only friend. We would often make appointments to play together in the community during our breaks." As he spoke, Du Zijie seemed to fall into long memories, and his expression became gentle with the beauty of the memories.

"Until one day, it was my birthday. I made an appointment with him to play with my newly bought yo-yo in the small square of the community. I waited from noon until four in the afternoon. Grandma was about to come back to cook, and I also wanted to go home, but he still hadn't come. I couldn't wait any longer, so I ran to his house to look for him. I knocked on the door for a long time. His father opened the door. His father was drunk. I was very scared and nervous at the time, but I still plucked up the courage to ask if Tan Tao was there. His father only told me that he and Tan Tao's mother were divorced, and Tan Tao and his mother moved out yesterday. I didn't believe that Tan Tao would leave without saying goodbye, but I haven't seen Tan Tao since then."

After hearing Du Zijie's words, people around him started talking.

"Is this even worth considering?"

"If that doesn't work, just go to the child's mother's house and ask. We're in the same city and I've seen her before. I'm sure I'll find her if I look hard enough."

"That's right, Du Zijie is pretty famous now, right? Why not just find someone to check it out? Why bother telling fortunes here?"

"Isn't this just a show? To get some attention?"

"Yes, they probably just want to ride on the popularity. After the first episode, Shu Wanwan and Fan Yao are the most popular!"

These words were neither loud nor soft, and Du Zijie also heard a few of them. He was afraid that Shu Wanwan would misunderstand and would not want to tell him the fortune, so he hurriedly explained, "No, Master, I really want to tell you the fortune. At first, I just wanted to ask why Tan Tao didn't come that day, but I was too young at that time and I didn't have the ability to go find him. Then a few years later, I grew up a little. I went to Tan Tao's mother's house around the first and second year of junior high school. At that time, his mother moved away, and when I went there, it was no longer Tan Tao's mother who lived there. After a few years, I entered the industry, made money, and knew more people. I specially asked someone to help me find him. Tan Tao, but I never found him. Later, I changed my mindset and asked someone to help me find Tan Tao's mother. My efforts paid off, and I finally found Tan Tao's mother, but she told me she had never taken Tan Tao away. By then, his mother had remarried and started a new life. She said she hadn't contacted Tan Tao in all these years. After hearing what Tan Tao's mother said, I realized that Tan Tao's father had deceived me for so many years. But after so many years, Tan Tao's original residence was no longer occupied. I asked my connections to find Tan Tao's father, but I couldn't find him.

Du Zijie's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and tears began to well up in his eyes. He clenched his teeth tightly, trying desperately to control his emotions and not let the hot tears fall.

He calmed down and continued, "Later, I realized something was wrong and went to the police station to report it. The first time I went, the police said I wasn't a relative and couldn't file a case. I then went to find Tan Tao's mother and gave her some money, and she agreed to go to the police station with me. That's how I reported Tan Tao missing."

He seemed to choke up when he said this. He thought of Tan Tao's original family and felt more distressed. He always felt that his parents did not love him enough since he was a child, but compared with Tan Tao, it was like heaven and earth. Du Zijie's parents had been working in other places and had never skimped on food, clothing and other expenses. Even if they could not come back for Du Zijie's birthday, they would mail gifts back to Du Zijie. The yo-yo was proof of this. Although this kind of love was incomplete, it was undoubtedly a manifestation of love. But Tan Tao was different. He had been missing for more than ten years and his parents had never cared about Tan Tao's life or death.
