Chapter 1 - Ordinary Fate... Bah!

His fate was ordinary.

This was something Fang Ran had firmly believed in for over two decades.

An ordinary face, a bland personality, no actual talent, nor much shortcomings. The time he had been single was about the same as his age. What? You're asking why it was about the same…

Uh, that was probably because when Fang Ran was young, he played house exceptionally well and usually acted as the father…

"Dang it! Can this lousy weather be any damn hotter!"

Fang Ran lowered his head and chose the shaded parts of the street to walk on. Oddly, the passers-by on the road were all ogling their eyes on him, but Fang Ran did not shy away from their gaze at all!

Oh please, he was wearing a half-sleeve shirt with some glaring cursive letters plastered on top of it, paired with washed jeans on his lower body; It couldn't be any more ordinary. There were countless people in this city who dressed like that. Furthermore, someone like him with no memorable distinct features, would attract stares under the blazing sun?

… Not happening.

"I can't take it anymore. It's so hot, I should head back quickly."

Fang Ran sighed weakly. Sigh… He was still too young, much too young. If he could completely disregard his shame, he would have ran home naked. Unfortunately, even if he did want to make the headlines of the local newspapers, he did not want to get there through this shameless method.

To reiterate… His fate was ordinary. Fang Ran had always kept that very clear in his mind and had basically accepted it already. This had been constantly hammered into his head by Daddy Fang, ever since he graduated his second year of middle school.

He could already picture his entire life cycle - Graduating, working, getting married, having children, retiring, then growing old and dying in peace.

Until today…

"Alright, world, you win. This weather really can be hotter!"

After a desperate struggle of "wriggling" forward under the heat of near 40 degree Celcius, Fang Ran finally arrived at the station. Noticing that the temperature had gone up another two degree Celsius on the large screen, he grumbled sullenly.

Dragging his feet to a random bench in the station, Fang Ran collapsed onto the bench. 'I can't do this anymore, I feel paralysed.'

'"Hurry up and buy a ticket and head back. Believe it or not, my life was saved by the air conditioner. Bless the person who invented the air conditioner."

Fang Ran was about to lose his virginity, bah, lose his mind as he murmured, and as he reached into his pocket, his lips pursed and his expression darkened. He realized…

He didn't bring his wallet…

"I really have to hand it to myself for f**king up every single time!"

Fang Ran snapped in exasperation, before continuing to slump onto the bench at the train station paralysed.

Just then, the crisp sound of heels came from the entrance of the station. Suddenly, many people who were sitting in the hall like Fang Ran, went into an uproar!

The extremely crisp sound of high heels clacking on the ground attracted every onlookers' attention, and immediately, their gazes were firmly fixed.

At the entrance of the station, two female figures walked over, wearing classy black high heels, simple white shirts with suit jackets hanging over their shoulders, and matching sunglasses that covered their faces, but oddly accentuated their features even further. They looked like fashion models right out of some globally renowned magazine covers. One of the figures had Fang Ran staring blankly at her with a sense of familiarity as if he had seen her somewhere before.

That wine-red long hair seemed familiar…

However, he quickly shook his head, grinning as he laughed at himself.

'How can that be possible…'

While Fang Ran was shaking his head and slumping onto the bench like a corpse as he rested, at the entrance of the station, a young man wearing the trendiest sunglasses entered the station behind the two figures who had attracted the gazes of many.

Seeing the two beauties in front of him, he showed a look of interest and gingerly followed them.

"Ah, I can't take it anymore! I'm going to faint! So handsome!"

A woman, whose arms were almost as thick as Fang Ran's calves, held her forehead as she sighed, and weakly collapsed on the ground.

'Dang! Auntie, if you want to collapse, why do you have to fall towards my side! If you want to want to take advantage of someone, go pounce on that guy!'

Fang Ran forced a smile as he pushed that older lady away, guarding his innocence.

Under everyone's fixated stares, one of the two sunglasses-wearing women noticed the young man behind them and swiftly whispered into the ear of the other girl. However, the other beauty did not seem to care and they both continued walking into the station.

When everyone was looking at the entourage who was piercing their eyes with copious amounts of beauty, Fang Ran also joined the crowd and cast them a cursory glance, before collapsing onto the bench again. Both his eyes lost their virginity, bah! Lost their focus!

'What's there to see, what's so nice to look at? No matter how beautiful that lady is, she will never be yours. Rather than stare with drool all over your face, it is better to not even look from the start. What has that group got to do with me? Instead, it is better for me to think about more meaningful things, such as…'

'How can I go take the train home now…'

"Hey, buddy, do you think those two beauties are celebrities?" a young man to his left said with a starstruck expression.

"Ah, I can't take it anymore, my heart has been stolen by that man!" Another auntie to his right covered her chest with her hands as she collapsed weakly to the ground on top of that other auntie.

'Celebrities? It is a possibility. After all, it was the first time in his twenty years of life that he had seen this level of beauty in person, and there were even two of them. Hey, hey! Aunties, can you two stop trying to come over here? Even if you want to take advantage of me, you shouldn't do it so blatantly…'

However, just then, a few more figures outside the station walked in. However, Fang Ran did not take a close look, but it appeared that all of them did not seem like the kind of people who would be at a station.

"Mm, ah~ I can't take it anymore, I'm completely infatuated. My heart has been stolen by that young chap!"

A young man with headphones around his neck, totally looking like a high school student, lifted his gaze up. He cast a glance ahead and walked over. The auntie that collapsed earlier to Fang Ran's right immediately held her forehead and collapsed again.

'F*ck! Wasn't your heart with the rich and handsome man who drove the Lamborghini just now? Why has it been stolen again? Auntie, how many hearts do you have? Do you specialize in manufacturing hearts? If you have a spare, can you donate it to someone who needs it?'

How would someone who has heart problems feel if he heard you say that?

Fang Ran fiercely roasted her in his heart, before violently pushing her back to her spot. He then looked around the station, and realized there were indeed many more people around.

'Eh… That girl wearing a high school uniform over there looks pretty good.'

'Enough, better hurry up. If I don't get on the train in time, I will have to walk back home. The earlier I leave, the earlier I can get back.'

Sighing, Fang Ran lazily got up from the bench. He casted a final glance at the group of handsome men and women.

They were not people from the same world that he lived in.

Living in an ordinary world, walking on his ordinary destined road. He was destined to be unable to compare to them. He was better off hurrying back to wash up and sleep.

Two worlds.

Today, he had simply seen some handsome men and beautiful women. Tomorrow, he would continue living his ordinary life, without any change.

"My fate is ordinary after all."

Looking at the city outside the station, Fang Ran muttered to himself with a sigh, as he took a step towards his journey home.

Suddenly…

The station collapsed.

Amidst a thunderous rumbling, the huge rocks in the ceiling came crashing down. Instantly, it seemed enlarged right before Fang Ran's eyes!

The sudden huge change had completely overturned Fang Ran's belief of two decades, and told him a new truth…

Fate was actually unpredictable.

Sorry, I am merely an ordinary twenty-year-old loser who should not have such a shallow perspective of you, Elder Fate .

Afterwards, in short, when this sort of fate arrived so abruptly, people would start to have regrets.

At that moment, Fang Ran terribly regretted not studying hard for science and culture in his three years of high school and brushing up on his language. It was because of that that in such a life-threatening situation, he could only tremble and curse in shock,

"F*… ck!!!"
