"After I made that bet with Wang, I had a feeling I was going to lose. So I got this dollar ready back then. I've kept it safe for the past four years, and tonight, it's finally time to make good on the bet."
Only then did everyone understand why the bill wasn't brand-new, but worn and damaged.
Magic Johnson asked again, "How did you know for sure you'd lose?"
Camille said, "Because everyone in the world knows that Wang never goes back on his word. If he says he'll win four championships in a row, then he'll win four championships in a row. No matter how hard it is."
"And even if Brother Yi had lost in the end, I never planned to take his money. I would still have given him this dollar. Because..."
At that, Camille turned and looked at Wang Yi gratefully.
"It wasn't until long after that bet that I realized Brother Yi had made it with me on purpose. He knew how difficult my life was back then, so he deliberately made that bet with me to draw people's attention. It completely changed my life and got me out of the terrible situation I was in."
"I've always wanted to say this to Brother Yi: thank you."

Camille, dressed in a white dress, bowed deeply to Wang Yi.
Then she raised her head and said, her voice catching in her throat, "Thank you, Wang."
Wang Yi didn't stand on ceremony.
He nodded.
Only then did the audience finally understand. There was a story behind that bet after all.
"That's my Brother Yi!"
"Brother Yi is a man of principle!"
"An absolute role model. No doubt about it!"
"Fan of Brother Yi for a day, fan of Brother Yi for life!"
Wang
