“Do you know the winning numbers for tomorrow? I would spend my entire fortune on that special draw,” she said.
“Serenity, don’t tease me. I believe I can finally set up a stall with my skill level. Any money I earn counts,” he replied.
“Mr. Charles, if you’re looking to make extra money, you don’t need to set up a fortune-telling stall in the park. Many people perceive park vendors as swindlers; those who are truly skilled won’t need to do that, as customers will seek them out,” she explained.
After a brief silence, Mr. Charles said, “I don’t have any other skills. I’ve been interested in this for many years, and I feel I’ve finally grasped a part of it.”
He had been quite accurate with Serenity’s fortune.
Mr. Charles had told his wife long ago that Serenity would lead a rich and respectable life, one that ordinary wealthy families could not match.

With that, Mr. Charles left, feeling cheerful.
He returned to his family’s grocery store.
Serenity watched him go, only averting her gaze after a moment. She pulled down the shutter and locked it.
Mr. Charles’s life mirrored that of countless ordinary people.
