5, fifth star
Tan Muxing browsed for a long time, browsing various arguments on the Internet, and said: "Although I am not sure whether astrology is scientific, I believe that your divination ability is indeed miraculous..."
Tan Muxing had no intention of exploring academic issues. He simply trusted Chu Qianli. Although it was different from his previous understanding, he could accept her abilities in his heart.
Chu Qianli was quite satisfied: "That's enough. We know each other differently. It's great if we can do this."
Tan Muxing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I was afraid you would be angry..."
Tan Muxing was afraid of offending Chu Qianli. After all, she had a bigger reaction just now and seemed to care about this matter.
Chu Qianli shook his head calmly: "No, even if you don't believe it, you won't be angry. You are already the most receptive person I have ever met."
Although her astrological skills were considered top-notch in the past, she was still considered a liar many times. Countless people followed her every prediction closely, hoping that one day she would make a fortune-telling mistake and break her once undefeated mythical record.
This group of people includes fellow astrologers, people who study other numerology, and ordinary people who simply do not believe in metaphysics. Human beings are afraid of the unknown and cannot accept existence beyond their own cognition.
Chu Qianli's tone was careless, but when she talked about Mu Xing, she felt lonely inexplicably, and her heart was suddenly stabbed by her indifferent tone.
Tan Muxing quickly changed the subject and said warmly: "But you still look at Ma Zhe. I thought you were only interested in the stars."
Chu Qianli: "Ah, this is the self-protection mechanism I set up."
Tan Muxing was stunned: "What does this mean?"
Chu Qianli paused for a few seconds. She considered her words and tried to explain: "The most mysterious and controversial symbol in astrology is the lunar nodes. The south node represents the past and is what we are good at. Genetics is called inheritance, and some people call it
Karma, it makes us make instinctive choices..." 1
"The South Node is the field of our persistence. I am indeed extremely talented in astrology, and I even feel familiar and relaxed. This is what the South Node tells me, but if I get stuck in it, I will make no progress, just like the South Node.
The meaning of 'evacuation' is also to escape when encountering difficulties."
Doing what you are good at will be very comfortable, but it also means that it is difficult to make new progress.
Chu Qianli has seen countless astrolabees, and naturally has also studied herself. It was even the starting point for her to learn astrology.
Each person's horoscope is unique and reveals that person's strengths and weaknesses.
Chu Qianli lowered his eyes and said: "My ability to read Ma Zhe is a self-protection mechanism used to overcome the inertial influence of the South Node. Only by not indulging in primitive instincts can people reach the future of potential development and grow.
Change and evolution are the core of astrology."
Chu Qianli has a horoscope for success and a horoscope for failure. She has to withdraw from time to time, which is what the star chart says.
Tan Muxing seems to understand: "What will happen if you don't have a self-protection mechanism?"
"Then I may rely on astrology to gain astonishing wealth and status, but also lose myself in the praise of believers, and then mistakenly think that I am a real god, and achieve a tragic end that will never be restored?" Chu Qianli blinked,
He tentatively asked, "Similar to the leader of the cult who was killed?"
Talk about Duixing: "..."
This seems quite reasonable. She is indeed good at brainwashing, and she gathers classmates during lunch break, so she has the ability to incite to a certain extent.
Tan Muxing's expression was subtle, and he nodded in agreement: "Please keep studying Marxism, and never remove your self-protection mechanism."
He didn't want her to be caught spreading superstition, which would lead to a terrible ending.
When school was over, because Chu Qianli didn't have a mobile phone yet, Tan Muxing wrote her number and asked her to add it if she had a chance to add it during the weekend.
At the school gate, He Shichen was sitting in a car. He watched Chu Qianli saying goodbye to Tan Muxing with cold eyes. He did not understand the sudden friendship between the two parties at all, and he tapped the rhythm impatiently on the side of the car door.
Tan Muxing comes from a wealthy family, but he lacks ability and appearance. He likes to sew clothes for dolls. He has nothing to do with being an elite. He has a submissive personality and is often laughed at by Wang Zheng and others. Could it be that Chu Qianli
Do you think he is easy to control?
In He Shichen's view, Chu Qianli's behavior had deep meaning. She might have wanted to deceive herself with an appearance of stupidity, waiting for the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow, just like the huge contrast in her answers to the questions in the afternoon.
He Shichen has a suspicious personality. He doesn't believe that Chu Qianli is not hostile to him, so he naturally predicts her predictions in his heart, weaving one big drama after another between wealthy families.
Chu Qianli got into the car and waved to Tan Muxing. When the car started, she noticed that He Shichen's face was dark and she asked doubtfully: "Does your wound still hurt?"
The injury on He Shichen's face has not healed yet. He slightly covered it up when he went to school today, but he was still being questioned with concern by the people around him.
He Shichen was too lazy to pretend to be affectionate with her and said perfunctorily: "It doesn't hurt."
Chu Qianli: "Then why do you have such a stinky face?"
He Shichen glared at her. He felt that the other party didn't know how to look at others, so he mocked: "I feel bad every time I see you, is that okay?"
He Shichen said very well that they were brothers and sisters before their parents, but there was an explosion when they first met.
Chu Qianli negotiated in a good-tempered manner: "Yes, yes, but I have nothing to do. Otherwise, why don't you discuss moving out with your parents?"
She didn't take his disgust seriously, she just thought that the male protagonist rejected the female counterpart and might want to keep the heroine's virginity.
He Shichen looked at her innocent face: "!!?" You still want to kick me out?
He Shichen believed that Chu Qianli was scheming, and she made insinuations in the car. After returning home, she pretended to be innocent and began to act pitiful in front of her parents.
At the dinner table, the family ate happily. He Zhenghe observed Chu Qianli's expression and asked cautiously: "Qianli, do you want to change your surname back?"
Chu Qianli has just returned and has not completed many procedures. It is easy to change her name.
The parents felt that He Shichen did not need to change his name, but they were afraid that Chu Qianli would not have a sense of belonging, so they proposed this idea.
Yu Xin looked at Chu Qianli with concern, but He Shichen was the only one who was on pins and needles, feeling like an outsider.
Chu Qianli declined politely: "No, He Qianli and Yu Qianli don't sound good either. No matter what their last names are, they are the same family."
He Shichen secretly thought, this doesn't mean that his surname is He and they are not from the same family. It's a good idea to retreat in order to advance.
Yu Xin said softly: "Is it really unnecessary?"
Chu Qianli: "No, there is something more important than this."
He Zhenghe: "What's the matter?"
Chu Qianli blinked obediently, she counted money with her fingers, and said pitifully: "Mom, dad, poor, poor, money."
It is better to spend a huge sum of money than to ask for help. Once she returns to a wealthy family, she wants to buy some things.
"..." He Shichen acted coquettishly in front of her, and he felt that his fist was hardened.
He Zhenghe and Yu Xin had never seen such a way to ask for pocket money, and they laughed heartily for a while, which was quite new to them. He Shichen was always young and mature, serious and steady, and would not do such funny things at all.
The atmosphere on the table suddenly became lively. Yu Xin stood up and said warmly: "I have fixed your mobile phone and tied a card to you. I will teach you how to use it."
"Thank you, Mom." Chu Qianli was like a little tail, her eyes were bright early, and she followed Yu Xin, obviously impatient.
He Zhenghe smiled and said: "I promised you yesterday. It seems that I should give out red envelopes. I can't let the stars lie."
Chu Qianli's voice was cheerful: "Thank you dad, thank you Xingxing."
He Shichen remained silent throughout the whole process. He had no objection to giving him money. His family did not lack his living expenses, and even specially prepared an account and the remaining money for him to study the stock market.
He just doesn't adapt to the family atmosphere. She can make her parents happy with soft words and cuteness, but he can't do such things even if he bites the bullet. He has an inexplicable feeling of suffocation and frustration. He knows that this mentality is unhealthy, but he can't control it.
The illusion of being excluded arises.
They were a family connected by blood and enjoying themselves harmoniously, while he was an unfettered and out-of-place passerby.
He Shichen's eyes dimmed, trying not to show his loneliness.
When Chu Qianli got her new mobile phone, she saw He Zhenghe's red envelope in the family group. She opened it and accepted it without ceremony. Then she looked at He Shichen expectantly and repeated her old trick: "Brother, poor man, red envelope."
He Shichen: "..."
He Shichen's depression was instantly washed away. After hearing this, his scalp went numb and he suddenly wanted to be excluded.
He Zhenghe said with a smile: "You are quite good at picking people. Shi Chen is better than me. I heard from my second uncle that I have made good profits from stock trading recently?"
He Shichen said humbly: "It's just okay."
When Chu Qianli heard this, she became even more expectant and looked at him with full eyes, like a small animal begging for food.
He Shichen was afraid of being embarrassed by her again, so he entered the password expressionlessly and sent her away with a red envelope. It was really not much money, but he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Chu Qianli said happily: "Thank you, brother."
He Shichen was speechless and his fingertips trembled slightly. He wanted to hit her instead of giving her a red envelope.
After Chu Qianli took her mobile phone and red envelope, she rushed upstairs, planning to go back home and start shopping.
Yu Xin also left the table, leaving only the father and son in the restaurant. He Zhenghe asked with concern: "How was school today?"
He Shichen: "Nothing special, just..."
He Shichen suddenly hesitated and didn't know how to describe it. He wanted to say that Chu Qianli had a bad attitude towards learning, but her physics level was actually better than his, which he still found difficult to accept.
In the end, He Shichen did not add any fuel to the fire and said fairly: "My sister is a bit biased, and there is a big gap between the upper and lower limits."
He Zhenghe was not surprised and said calmly: "She used to be in an ordinary school and her grades were definitely not as good as yours. Now she has just transferred here. Don't be too demanding of her. Let her get used to it."
He Shichen's face turned dark. She was like this before she could get used to it. After she got used to it, wouldn't it be like beating herself up in all aspects?
He Zhenghe: "Your mother and I made observations and found out that Qianli doesn't seem to be interested in business. She may not be admitted to the same university as you. She may have her favorite major in the future."
He Shichen has been interested in business since he was a child, and He Zhenghe and Yu Xin have been kind and supportive. They have no idea of cultivating heirs. Some families' children lack business acumen and have their own professionals to help take care of it. It does not necessarily have to be managed by their own family members.
Chu Qianli now has no worries about food and clothing. She can have a wider range of choices, which may be different from He Shichen.
He Shichen's expression softened slightly. He was persuaded by his father, his mentality became balanced, and he responded: "I know."
Chu Qianli talks about strange things all day long. He does not have excellent business management thinking, at least he will not replace him in this aspect.
In the bedroom, Chu Qianli had already finished researching her new mobile phone. She first added Tan Muxing's WeChat account and found that his avatar was an anime white bear, from the animation "White Bear Cafe". The white bear is so naive and really looks like him. At first glance,
It’s the old two-dimensional thing.
The two chatted for a few words, and Tan Muxing pulled her into the class group and told her that her weekend homework would be notified in the group.
Chu Qianli almost wanted to quit the group on the spot to avoid the homework she had to do.
Chapter completed!
