He turned back to August 20, the third August 20.

And instead of 'be careful', he said to the boy, "don't skip class today."

The boy got stiffed as usual, like a rat that had been busted, his face gradually turned red. "Yessir!"

That day, he didn't skip class. He got into his classes on time, had his lesson, took a lunch break as other students did.

Sometimes, Xuyun caught him glancing at his way sneakily. When Xuyun glanced back, their gazes met for a second, before the other's eyes looked away. Xuyun didn't shift his eyes. He didn't, because he knew that Sui would glanced back at him when he had shifted his eyes as well. That was true, because Sui really did glance back at him again.

"Is he gay?" A chuckled voice came behind Xuyun's back. "Oh, that's the fortune teller."

"Fortune teller?"

"Yeah, he got special ability, looking into the future. Why is he keep glancing at you? Maybe you got a dark or funny future? Like something funny will happen to…"

Noticing the death glare that was directed to him, he shut his mouth.

Looking into the future? Could he see his own death too?

If he really could, why didn't he avoid it? If he could see when, where, and how would he die, why did he keep getting killed? That was the ultimate advantage of being able to see your own future.

"Oh, but I heard he avoids looking straight into people's eyes. Avoiding from accidentally looking into their future. Well, if you could look into other people's future every time you look at their face, it will become troublesome, right? So, he only look when they ask him to."

A person who could look into future, but refused to look, was it? Did he refuse to look into his future too? How foolish.

At 5 PM, Xuyun waited in front of the colosseum. At exact 6:50, a portal appeared, and so was the truck. He killed the criminal even more quickly this time.

He believed that he had changed the future properly this time, before he heard a similar news as last time. Sui Shizi, special class grade 4-3, at 6 PM, August 20, fell from the school bridge, he landed on a fence, which pierced his lungs, causing instant death.

It was this time that Xuyun realized he couldn't save Sui Shizi's life no matter how many times he had tried to change to change the past's course.
