Waste is just the threshold to my meeting.

Chapter 69 Turning and Leaving

Why don't you believe in God?

Edwards, who was originally going to go online, stopped curiously after hearing Fu Chen's words.

Instead of rushing to steal the bicycle from the veteran player next door, he asked Fu Chen.

"But why should I believe in God?"

Edward replied earnestly, "Because you believe in God, you can become the person you want to be, and you can accomplish what you want to accomplish. God will give everything to His believers, and God will not let His believers down!"

Fu Chen nodded seriously and firmly:

"That's what I originally thought, and that's what I did, but in the end, I found that reality wasn't quite what I imagined, you know, Edwards?"

Edwards shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

The two of them just looked at each other, gazing at each other silently from afar.

Fu Chen raised his hand, but couldn't help speaking first: "What I mean is that you should ask me what I did."

Edward nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, oh."

The two of them returned to the state of looking at each other without saying a word.

"So why don't you trust God?"

It seems that Fu Chen ultimately won this battle, because Edwards couldn't help but ask again.

"You once said that becoming a believer in God would give you everything you want, do you agree?"

When we raise our middle finger, look up at the sky, and beg God, we can get what we want.

"Shouldn't it be prayer?" Edwards corrected.

"Look what this is!"

Fu Chen pointed to his bicycle, which, while not particularly dilapidated, was definitely not new.

My own battle-tested bicycle.

"Is this your bicycle?" Edwards replied.

"Yes, that's right. You should be able to tell. This bicycle is quite old. Because it has been through many battles, its chain is worn out, making it difficult to pedal. In addition, many parts are old and rusty."

"So I once made a wish to God that I could get a brand new bicycle."

Unfortunately, God did not grant my wish, and I still have to ride this old bicycle that has been around for quite some time, day after day.

So your statement that "God will definitely bless me" is utter nonsense; he can't give me anything at all.

Fu Chen shrugged, indicating that this nonsensical God was indeed unbelievable.

"Wrong, completely wrong, all of this is wrong..."

After listening to Fu Chen's long-winded explanation, Edwards sighed, shook his head, and roared to the sky, claiming that everything had gone wrong from the very beginning.

So how could he possibly fulfill his wish and get a brand new bicycle?

"Then tell me, how exactly is this wrong at its root?"

Edwards said, "God is merciful and busy every day. With so many people praying and making so many wishes, how can he possibly keep up with everyone?"

So the correct procedure isn't like yours. Watch closely from here on out.

Next, Fu Chen witnessed a scene that left him in awe.

After Edwards finished speaking, he tiptoed around and then quietly slipped into Old Wang's yard next door.

There is an open space in front of the first-floor entrance. Some homeowners will fence off that open space, and that open space can become a private yard illegally built by the homeowner.

The yard is usually used to park electric bikes or other odds and ends, but in Old Wang's yard next door, there is his son's brand new bicycle that he rides every day.

It's a road bike, for crying out loud.

"Holy crap, I drove a bright red one, and it was a damn Xidesheng! A brand new one like that would cost over 5000!"

As if he had activated his ancestral bloodline, Edwards, who bought something good for free, poked his hands back and forth like a mouse.

He grinned and chuckled.

A white, cold light shone through the darkness, the white of the teeth clashing sharply with the black skin that blended seamlessly with the pitch-black sky.

"So you're demonstrating your thieving techniques to me?"

"No, no, no!"

After saying this, Edwards made the sign of the cross on his chest and muttered, "Amen."

About 30 seconds later.

Edwards opened his eyes, patted the back of the Xidesheng car, and raised his head to Fu Chen: "It's done."

His expression was firm and sincere: "Stealing is wrong, Fu Chen, you should know that."

Fu Chen: "Of course I know, but what you're doing is practically stealing!"

Edwards said, "You're right, I did steal their bicycle, but I've already apologized to God and asked for his forgiveness."

And God remains silent; surely He sees my repentance and will forgive me, an innocent believer who almost went astray.

Fu Chen fell silent.

"You mean... you stole it, then confessed to God to gain His forgiveness, so the car is essentially a gift from God..."

Edwards nodded.

Fu Chen saw the true nature of the matter.

"You don't trust God at all; you don't have that belief or faith."

Edwards: "Where do you even begin?"

"What the hell are you talking about? Look at what you're wearing on your chest! It's a jade pendant, not a cross!"

Why don't you just say that Buddha will bless you with a new bicycle?

At this moment, Edwards hurriedly touched the jade pendant carved with Buddha on his chest in a panic, and looked around: "Fu Chen, you can't just say things like that! Don't let Buddha know I've done something bad, or he won't love me anymore!"

666.

If Fu Chen hadn't carefully recalled that Edwards had stated his faith as Buddhism at school, he wouldn't have been able to come to this conclusion so quickly.

Edwards left.

He said goodbye to Fu Chen: "See you tomorrow."

As Edwards' classmate, Fu Chen said that even though he was a native of the area with his ancestral home deeply rooted here, he was indeed not as knowledgeable or understanding as this foreigner in some aspects.

He did admit that he learned a great deal from Edwards.

He saw Edwards off with great respect, excitement, and a grateful look and expression.

He watched Edwards ride away on the neighbor's son's bicycle, his black silhouette gradually disappearing into the distance.

With a hint of gratitude, he nodded.

He then anonymously reported the incident to the police.

This is illegal.
