Song Wennuan, who had sorted out her private matters, once again walked into the recording studio with a refreshed appearance. Her delicate makeup, coupled with the bright smile that hung from the corner of her lips made her appear just as energetic as usual.

If Song Rui hadn't personally witnessed the fluctuations of her emotions, which ranged from wrath to crumbling into making a compromise, he would have thought that the previous events which had taken place were merely figments of his imagination.

This cousin of his seemed to be a very tough person -this thought secretly passed through Song Rui's mind.

Only when Song Wennuan prepared to explain the next scene that would be shot to Fan Jialuo did she realize that the other party was still blindfolded.

Feeling embarrassed, she quickly removed the blindfold with her own hands and continued to bow in apology.

Fan Jialuo unhurriedly opened his eyes. Waving his hand in reply, he nonchalantly said, "It's okay. I'll follow your arrangements."

Song Wennuan was even more embarrassed. The slushy color that erupted on her cheeks could be seen even through the half-inch thick foundation she had on her face.

What was wrong with me before? How could I have thought that Mr. Fan needed to cheat to pass the test?

Could the test to identify objects be more difficult than looking into people's hearts?

"Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry for all the previous things, we thought you had gotten your hands on the test questions in advance, so..." Song Wennuan even wanted to kneel down and plead guilty to Fan Jialuo.

She didn't want to offend the person in front of her in any manner or way- and this was not out of fear, but purely out of respect.

The ability to see through people's hearts seemed to be a terrible one, but when it was in the hands of a person who was so gentle, so open-minded and held onto their bottom line so firmly, she felt that it was the best arrangement that God could have made.

"It's alright. I'll cooperate with the recording. This is work."

Not once did Fan Jialuo open his eyes as he spoke to Song Wennuan.

Song Rui swiftly took out a notebook and silently noted -【He stayed in the dark for a long time, and is used to an environment where nothing can be seen.】

As if sensing the weight of his gaze, Fan Jialuo turned his head to look at Song Rui, but the latter just raised his pen with composure.

This silent confrontation only lasted for a moment, and soon, Fan Jialuo's attention once again focused back on Song Wennuan.

"Mr. Fan, our arrangement is like this-first, you will leave this room, then push open the door and walk in again, pretending that the mystery box test is your first test. We will reverse the order of time later using this scene. Will that be alright with you?"

Like a little girl, Song Wennuan squatted down beside Fan Jialuo with a timid and slightly flattering expression.

Song Rui, who knew how arrogant she had been in the past, chuckled.

Fan Jialuo cooperated very well. He followed the plan without any questions or complaints.

In the eyes of others, this whole incident made it look like he had suffered a great injustice and offence, but in his own eyes, all of this was just a trivial matter.

His uncomplaining performance made the whole crew of the show feel ashamed.

All the judges had also returned to the observation room next door.

After sitting on his designated seat, Song Rui wrote in his notebook -【There's nothing that exists outside his mind. As long as one does not offend or touch his bottom line, there's nothing he will haggle about. 】

He asked the same misleading question as he had previously.

At the same time, Fan Jialuo slowly walked into the recording studio and came to a stand in front of the four boxes.

Seeing his extremely handsome face appear on the big screen, Song Rui quickly put away the notebook, moved the microphone closer and said, "Fan Jialuo, please use your ability to sense the content of the four boxes in front of you, and then tell us which box contains the fluctuation of life."

He asked the misleading question as he had previously.

After hearing such a question, most people would automatically think that there was only one box containing the fluctuation of life, which would greatly affect their thoughts as they utilised their abilities.

Song Wennuan, who would have usually agreed with this move of stirring up more trouble in front of the camera, now gave her cousin a fierce glare, after hearing his words.

Recalling something, she moved her microphone away and whispered, "Cousin, you are wrong. I have no regrets in asking Fan Jialuo to evaluate Yu Yuntian's character. On the contrary, I feel very grateful. Really, I am very grateful to God for this arrangement."

"It's good if you don't regret it." Song Rui stretched out his hand and patted her head gently.

This rare gesture of intimacy and tenderness immediately pricked Song Wennuan's eyes.

Who said my cousin had no heart? Who said that??? My cousin cares about me, like a brother would for his sister!

When she got back home, she would correct this absurd notion her parents had!

However, the very next second, Song Rui pulled out a sterile tissue and wiped his palm thoroughly.

Song Wennuan: "..."

***

Fan Jialuo slowly walked to the four boxes and raised his hand to sense the contents of each one of them one after the other.

With his hand on the first box, he closed his eyes and narrated, "Trembling, joyous, and crowing. This is a life that is about to be born."

Under his palm and inside the box lay an egg, resting quietly on soft cloth, in which was brewing a young life that would soon crow with the morning sun.

The owner of the egg, Dr. Lin, clutched his chest and said, "I don't know why, even though Fan Jialuo's words are simple and concise, I am always looking forward to hearing them. His words move me. Based on his words just now, it seems to be a rooster."

Song Rui wrote in his notebook -【He can amplify anyone's emotions while using language as the medium. He is an envoker of emotions.】

As Fan Jialuo moved to the second box, Song Rui couldn't restrain his gaze and followed his figure keenly. Many expectations unconsciously emerged in his heart at this movement.

Prior to this moment, he hadn't even been aware that he could still rouse any positive emotions, much less one called 'expectation,' within himself.

However, Fan Jialuo walked straight past this box and went to the one next to it, raising his palm and smiling as he spoke, "This is a vigorous green life. In the autumn, years from now, we will harvest its fruits."

The owner of the kumquat sapling, Dr. Ouyang, gave a thumbs up silently, completely convinced of the existence of Fan Jialuo's psychic ability.

Fan Jialuo walked to the last box. The relaxed smile at the corner of his lips was replaced with awe.

He sensed the box for a long time before sighing in a low voice and saying, "This is a creature struggling to live. It will experience a long journey to birth, followed by a short life, before eventually withering in the wind. Withering is an inevitable fate. It is a small creature, but it will lead a magnificent life."

Dr. Qian, the owner of the chrysalis, quickly covered his mouth and whispered in amazement, "Yes, this is the pupa of a monarch butterfly. Its lifetime can really be described as magnificent.

"The scientific name of the monarch butterfly is Danaus plexippus and they are mostly found in North America. Their bodies are covered in orange and black patterns, which looks truly beautiful.

"In winter, they migrate from Canada and the northern states of America to the warm Mexican fir forests, before then returning to Canada. This migration of theirs covers a distance of thousands of miles in the sky.

"There is no monarch butterfly that participates in the entire journey undertaken during this long migration. At a certain stage in time, they will silently wither, leaving their offspring behind to continue this journey.

"No scientist has been able to explain the reason for this large-scale collective death, it has been jotted down as their fate for now.

"This is the reason I love them so very much. There are too many such small but great beings on our earth. They are creatures that spend their entire lifetime in the pursuit of their goal!"

Dr. Qian settled his mood before continuing, "I believe that Fan Jialuo and I possess the same feelings. He isn't only sensing the object inside, but also perceiving the true meaning of life.

"Even though the previous contestants managed to surprise me with their abilities, none of them would be able to utter the kind of words he has. They wouldn't understand that the chrysalis I have brought isn't merely a chrysalis."

Dr. Qian paused for a long moment before finally waving his hand. "No, I have no way to describe my feelings in detail. Every life on earth is precious. You will understand it one day."

Song Wennuan clasped her hands together in front of her chest. She was also in awe.

Song Rui picked up his pen, but then his movement suddenly paused. He didn't know what to write.

He couldn't use simple words to describe the person on the screen who had gradually become clear and three-dimensional.

Life was inherently complicated, unspeakable, and precious-the ignorant and heartless him actually had a day when he too came to such an understanding. It was simply inconceivable.

Fan Jialuo finally walked back to the box he had deliberately skipped.

Song Rui held his breath.

Fan Jialuo's palm dangled over the box and his head tilted slightly to one side. He closed his eyes and sensed the object inside for a long, long time.

Song Rui's heart began to beat violently. Such a phenomenon had never happened before. He had never felt tension, anxiety, or anticipation-nothing like what he was feeling at the present moment.

Fan Jialuo opened his eyes. There was a ripple in his usually tranquil eyes .

His lips rose into a smile, and when he spoke, his voice was pleasingly gentle like flowing water, "This is a life waiting for hope and salvation. It is stubborn and unyielding, yet composed and tranquil. It is a miracle."

Song Rui, who had unconsciously been holding his breath as he waited for the youth to describe the item, finally exhaled. His heartbeat came into an halt as a deep and breezy laugh overflowed from his mouth.

His reaction bewildered everyone.

Song Wennuan grabbed his sleeve and asked in dismay, "Cousin, what you brought is a stone, right?"

"It's a stone." Song Rui then urged her, "Find someone to cut the stone open. Be careful, there may be a life hidden in it."

"Really? How is it possible?!" Song Wennuan called her assistant to find a professional to examine the stone before getting it cut open.

Fan Jialuo was not surprised, and even as he watched several staff members rush into the testing room, he cautiously reminded, "Be careful, don't damage the egg, sapling and chrysalis."

Hearing these words, Dr. Qian covered his face and groaned, "Oh my god, what kind of mighty psychic is he? Empress Nuwa must have created Fan Jialuo from the softest and cleanest piece of mud. I love him so much, ah!"

The eager movements of the staff turned cautious and slow under his reminder. They carefully removed the second box and sent it to the warehouse for further examination.

The props team quickly contacted a professional calcite master and rented a full set of tools as well.

At the same time, filming continued, with the other contestants also conducting the personality appraisals one by one, analyzing Ya Ya and Jie Furui.

The contestant who was caught cheating on the mystery box test was the first to go. She couldn't say a single correct word about them. Other similar contestants also encountered a crisis in this surprise test.

On the contrary, the stronger contestants remained stable, and they performed well. Although they could not perform a comprehensive analysis, they could still perceive one or two characteristics about the volunteers correctly.

Most shocking was A Huo's performance. He incorrectly guessed Jie Furui's gender and kept calling the other person 'beauty'.

Jie Furui could only wave his hands and roll his eyes at him.

After this testing round was over, Song Rui made a number of comments on the outstanding contestants.

"Yuan Zhongzhou's strength still places him in first place. Not only could he sense the hearts of the two volunteers, but he could also see their appearances.

"In this round, I want to place He Jinglian second. She captured Ya Ya and Jie Furui's emotions. She understands what they feel at the present moment accurately."

Jie Furui said, "She said that Ya Ya and I have a very happy life and that we would meet very beautiful things. But before we stood in front of her, we were not like this."

Song Rui nodded. "Yes, so her ability is time-sensitive. She has no strong grasp of the past and future. Except for the emotions at the present moment, she can see nothing else.

"Zhu Xiya comes in third. She did receive some emotional feedback at a certain level, but it wasn't much, nor was it very clear. We could pick a person at random and 80% of her words would aptly suit them as well.

"Ding Puhang deliberately stalled during the test. I will not comment on his performance.

"A Huo's sense of smell is both to his benefit, but is also an obstacle for him.

"Chongming's performance today was completely substandard. His ability seems to have suddenly disappeared, he was just like an ordinary person."

Song Wennuan slightly knocked at the table, she was dissatisfied. "You forgot Mr. Fan again."

"You call him Mr. Fan now, how do you think I should rank him?" Once again, Song Rui singled out Fan Jialuo's pictures and set them aside.

Jie Furui agreed with him. He frowned and pondered for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "You all know that I am not well-educated, not very good at talking and can't accurately describe my feelings. But, I can understand what Dr. Song means. Fan Jialuo is Fan Jialuo, not so-and-so or such-and-such. You can't confuse him with other people, he is a completely different existence by himself.

"What he says is rather baffling and requires one to think thoroughly in order to understand it, but after you comprehend his meaning, you'll be moved to tears.

"The effect that comes from listening to his analysis, even Su Fengxi's songs will fall inferior to it! Really, other people are incomparable with Mr. Fan."

Ya Ya also added, "I feel the same as Jie Furui. For me, Fan Jialuo is like a chef. He will skillfully peel off your self-defensive eggshell, separate the egg white and egg yolk, before mixing and combining them to form a brand new you.

"The things you want to hide, he will dig them out for you. If you are moldy, he will remove those parts for you. The things you cherish, he will knead them for you, put them in a cleaner place, and shape them into something better tasting.

"After being appraised by him, you will become a new you! Every living thing is a life, and every life is beautiful. Only after meeting him will you understand this meaning!"

Dr. Qian nodded repeatedly in agreement. All the people present seemed to have become avid fans of Fan Jialuo, and were excitedly discussing his every move, every word and every deed.

At this moment, the technical director ran into the observation room while holding a transparent glass box, with his cheeks flushed red as if he was drunk.

"The stone has been cut open. There's a frog inside it! It's alive! The stone master said that the stone is at least a hundred years old, so this frog is also more than a hundred years old. The air it breathed at that time was different from ours now, so I filled a box with pure oxygen and sealed the frog inside it. Mr. Fan felt its existence! He really felt it!"

Everyone in the observation room looked in astonishment at the box he was holding.

A frog, sealed in a stone, that had survived for more than a hundred years- this was indeed a miracle of life!
