Good Fortune

[Complete] [Voice work and commission details are on Weibo] Xu Ning's high school life went surprisingly smoothly. The route home, where she used to get shaken down by troublemakers, suddenly became peaceful. After fitness tests, someone was always eager to bring her a bottle of salted soda. Even when she casually moved a desk, an unfamiliar classmate would rush over to help. There were countless other lucky breaks, too: getting a buy-one-get-one-free surprise at the newsstand, or winning a spot for a year of unlimited free drinks of limited-edition peach oolong tea at the dessert shop across from school. And whenever she turned around, she could always see the boy, his slightly long hair tousled by the sweltering summer breeze. With his hands in his pockets, he would look up at the sky in a panic and say, “The sunshine is lovely.” Everyone knew that Li Jiayu liked Xu Ning. He had taken care of the troublemakers on her route home, bought the magazines and peach oolong tea ahead of time, and even arranged for people to bring her salted soda and help her out. But even after dyeing his hair black again and working hard at his studies, all he dared to do was follow behind Xu Ning and, when she turned around, awkwardly say, “The sunshine is lovely.” Every time, Li Jiayu could hear his own heartbeat thundering in his ears.

She was twenty, still in college, and standing before the podium with her palms slick with nervous sweat. Shen Jian was seventeen, a celebrated young racing prodigy and a rising star. He had just won the first official race of his life, and the boy's reckless, arrogant manner set the hearts of everyone watching, both on and off the screen, ablaze. But the very next second, Sheng Fan watched in horror as Shen Jian beat up a foreign competitor in front of the camera and the entire audience. Shen Jian was subsequently banned from racing for three years. Three years later, Sheng Fan had become a reporter in her own right. She was assigned to interview Shen Jian again for his comeback race. The once-reckless boy was now an adult, but still as defiant as ever. He gave the same foreign competitor the middle finger, then sneered, “Trash. I could beat you three years ago, and I can beat you now.” His coach frantically tried to perform the Heimlich maneuver on himself, wishing he could make Shen Jian mute. But Sheng Fan was no longer the reporter she had been back then. With a gentle smile, she pried out Shen Jian's index finger too, turning the obscene gesture into something friendly and wholesome. Then she said to the interpreter, “Racer Shen Jian says he's delighted to face his old rival again after three years and settle things on the track. He's confident he'll win this race.” In front of tens of thousands of viewers, the young racing prodigy visibly froze, his face growing redder and redder.
