Chapter 84
The small wooden table next to the sweet soup stall was filled with steam. Hot water flowed from the small tea tray. Chu Yueqing slowly brewed a pot of tea.
As the sun rose higher and higher, the golden sun shone on the glass cabinet and reflected light.
In winter, even if the sun was high, it was still cold.
The neighbors blew on their hands, glanced at each other and discussed enthusiastically.
"Miss Su was just tricked into having a baby. What does the next customer want to have a fortune told?"
"If it's me, I'll tell you when I'll get rich first."
"Hahaha, you just want it."
"Master, I'll make sure to reserve your seat tomorrow."
"Don't be ridiculous. Apart from being poor, I'm healthy and not in a position where I don't need a fortune teller. If I'm really extravagant enough to spend 200 yuan on a fortune teller, the jinx in the room will beat me to death."
After making tea, Chu Yueqing looked at the crowd and smiled.
"Next."
The person who came to have her fortune told was a beautiful young girl with shoulder-length hair, wearing a yellow and black velvet sports coat and gloves.
After sitting down, the girl took off her gloves and said in surprise: "Miss Chu, do you still remember me?"
The girl had an apple-shaped face, fair with a healthy blush, and when she smiled, it seemed as if the sky was brighter.
Chu Yueqing blinked, thought carefully for a while, smiled and nodded: "Remember, in front of the Ma Tau Kok Indoor Sports Stadium. We once met."
When she went to the stadium before.
Amin had entertained her.
A breeze blew.
Chu Yueqing brought her a cup of tea, "Is it cold? Have a cup of tea first."
Chu Yueqing's demeanor was light and ethereal, just like an otherworldly master, and just with a little smile, Amin's face instantly became redder.
Amin smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't expect Miss Chu to have such a good memory."
Amin thought that no one would remember a small service staff like her.
But Chu Yueling not only remembered it, but also remembered her occupation.
Amin was a little touched.
Suddenly realizing something, she covered her lips, her round eyes were full of panic, "Should I call Miss Chu Master?"
"Sorry, I don't know the rules of this industry." Amin waved her hands at a loss.
Seeing Amin nervous, Chu Yueling frowned and said soothingly: "It's just a title, you can call me whatever you want."
Seeing that the water in Chu Yueling's teapot had cooled down, Ashanpo also squeezed into the stall and picked up the thermos bottle in the sugar water stall to add hot water to the teapot.
Hot water flowed out of the water bottle, emitting hot steam.
"Little girl."
Ashanpo joked while trying to prevent the water from spilling, "This must be your first time to have your fortune told. Qingqing is a very nice person, she will tell you whatever you want to say."
Other neighbors also agreed.
"Yes, don't be afraid, little sister."
"Qingqing is about the same age as you, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, don't worry."
Chu Yueqing saw that Amin was still taking a long time to calm down, so she suggested: "How about this, I will tell you first, do you think it's right?"
Amin nodded.
Chu Yueqing looked at Amin's face for a while and asked for her horoscope. "You were born in a family with decent economic conditions. The Zhengyin Palace belongs to the Brother and Sister Palace, and the two earthly branches Mao and You correspond to brothers and sisters respectively. There are three girls in the family, and you are the third oldest."
"Because you were young, you have never suffered too much at home. The two sisters rushed to do the housework. If there was anything delicious, the whole family would think of you."
"But." Chu Yueqing looked at the horoscope and pondered for a while, "This year is the Year of the Dog. Your zodiac sign is in conflict with the dog. In July this year, you were hit by a car?"
When Amin heard about being hit by a car, her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Master, you are amazing!"
She originally heard from her colleagues that there was a very powerful fortune teller in Temple Street, so she decided to come and see.
Unexpectedly, the other party was an acquaintance.
It's really amazing!
"The night the car hit me, I was on my way home from work. Fortunately, it wasn't serious, and my leg had to be repaired for a few days." Amin said, "After the car hit me, I asked my boss for leave. Even after returning to work, I didn't mention it to my colleagues."
Amin felt that it was pointless to talk about it.
People in Hong Kong focus on interests. If you tell your colleagues after you have recovered from the injury, doesn't it mean that you want to see the gift?
So no one knew about this.
Chu Yueqing continued to calculate, "From the horoscope, you have the element of direct official sitting on your day, which is unfavorable for you. That is to say, you are not good at communicating with others, you tend to be pessimistic, and you always worry about being betrayed by yourself. Emotionally, you tend to lack a sense of security."
Amin nodded in agreement, "Master, you are right. I have had two relationships, and both ended with me suspecting that my ex-boyfriend was cheating on me."
Amin rested his chin on the table with one hand and counted with the other.
"My first love happened on campus. At that time, my first love would send me home every day, but there were two days in a row when he didn't send me home. I went to look for him, but he said he didn't have time."
"I suspected that my first love was cheating on me, so we broke up without giving him a chance to explain."
Amin's personality is very similar to most Hong Kong girls. Although she is very suspicious, once she is sure of her suspicion, she is the type to act quickly and decisively.
Chu Yueqing counted on her fingers, "Actually, my first love, you really misunderstood him."
"You thought he was cheating on you, but in fact, his family was changing during that time, and he went home early every day to protect his mother from domestic violence by his stepfather. Things are complicated, and when you asked him, he was worried that you would dislike him, so he didn't tell the truth."
Amin was confused. It turned out that my first love went home early to protect his mother. But
she broke up with him for no reason.
Amin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So that's the case? What about the second love?"
"He always replied to my calls without my knowledge and didn't let me see the messages. Of course, I'm grown up now, so I won't break up with him without clarifying the situation like I did with my first love."
"I became much more rational emotionally. I patiently asked who the person who sent the message was, and asked him why he couldn't disclose the caller information if he didn't feel guilty?"
"He still refused to tell me, and we broke up in the end."
Chu Yueqing calculated the horoscope.
Although the horoscope was Amin's, it could also reveal the past people.
Soon, she figured it out.
"I calculated that you would have a stable relationship when you were 21. It just happened to coincide with your second love. He was preparing a surprise for you and preparing to propose to you, so of course he couldn't tell you."
"If you had waited one more day, the truth would have come out."
"But you picked up your suitcase and left, and he missed the chance to keep you."
Amin didn't expect the truth to be like this. She gave her most sincere feelings to her first love and her most trusted feelings to her ex-boyfriend.
No matter which relationship she was in, she had invested 100% of her heart.
As a result...
the truth behind the breakup was so cryptic.
She was also very distressed and sighed, "Master, do you think I can change my paranoia?"
Chu Yueqing shook her head, "My horoscope has been determined by fate since I was born."
Looking at Amin's disappointed expression, she thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you can consider communicating with your love interest, expressing your needs, and asking him not to do things that will arouse your suspicion."
"Ah..." Amin sighed deeply.
Chu Yueqing continued to calculate, and when she saw Amin's peach blossom, she raised her eyebrows.
"Amin, what do you want to calculate?"
Amin had no choice but to say, "Actually, I came here to calculate my current boyfriend."
"Master, I was originally confident. But you calculated that my first two relationships ended in misunderstandings, which made me lose confidence."
"It's okay, you can tell me." Chu Yueqing gestured.
Amin took a deep breath, looked at the neighbors around her, retracted her gaze, lowered her shoulders.
"I... suspect that my current boyfriend is not my real boyfriend."
She continued in frustration.
"Do you think it's possible that my boyfriend was murdered and the other person is with me with the exact same appearance?"
Seeing that Amin was unhappy, the neighbors began to comfort her.
"Sister, don't think too much. Who would have the time to kill someone and have plastic surgery to be with you?"
"Yes, you are just paranoid."
"Or... did your boyfriend do something to make you uncomfortable, so you think too much?"
"Be a man, break up if you are suspicious, the next one will be better."
Some neighbors even thought.
Amin... won't be tortured by suspicion and become a mental patient?
Otherwise, how to explain that she thinks her boyfriend is not her boyfriend?
"I have considered everything you said, I really can't break up." The light in Amin's round eyes dimmed.
"My current boyfriend is really nice. I'm busy with work, so he does the housework and prepares meals after work, and plays tennis with me in his spare time. He reminds me to put on more clothes when it's cold, and to eat less ice cream when it's hot."
"He hands over all the money he earns, and he never gets angry. Even if I don't like him going out, he will definitely stay with me the whole day."
As Amin spoke more and more, the neighbors listened with gusto, and the more they listened, the more they felt that it was Amin's problem.
"It sounds good."
"He's a perfect boyfriend. It's hard to find such a man in Hong Kong now."
"Amin, you have to cherish him."
"The more I listen, the more I think you're overthinking it."
"Why don't you control your suspicion? Otherwise, you'll drive away a man who loves you because of a misunderstanding."
Chu Yueqing looked at the bewildered Amin and said, "Why don't you tell me what's wrong?"
Amin looked into Chu Yueqing's clear eyes.
Her increasingly flustered heart seemed to be soothed and calmed down.
"I noticed something was wrong with my boyfriend last month,"
Ah Min recalled slowly. "He always liked to call me Mimi, but everything changed one afternoon. He called me Minmin."
"I like eating carrots. In the past, even though he didn't like eating them, he would still cook them from time to time to accommodate me. He fried, stir-fried, stewed, and cooked them in all kinds of ways."
"But now, I haven't eaten carrots for half a month. When I asked him today, he seemed surprised that I liked eating carrots. He even got angry for the first time in his life."
"Although he is angry with himself, I don't understand why he loses his temper, obviously... he knew it before, didn't he?"
Amin smiled bitterly, "Master, I really feel like he has changed. He wouldn't get angry in front of me before, and he wouldn't not cook my favorite dishes for a month."
Chu Yueqing looked at Amin's peach blossom palace, which was originally a flower on the doorstep, but something unexpected happened. She showed a thoughtful look.
After waiting for a while, she asked.
"Do you have your boyfriend's horoscope?"
"Yes." Seeing that the master wanted the horoscope, Amin took out a note from the pocket of her sweatshirt, her eyes were full of nostalgia, "I asked him about his birthday this year, and I plan to celebrate for him tomorrow, so I wrote it down."
After Chu Yueqing got the horoscope, she frowned and calculated it twice.
After putting down her hand.
She asked, "Have you ever thought that you like not one person, but two people?"
Two people?
Amin suddenly felt a rumbling sound in his ears, and his mind kept replaying the past with his boyfriend.
The street was boiling.
"No way? It's not what you think, right?"
"Two people? Sure, you can enjoy the happiness of two people."
Amin came back to his senses after a long while, and humbly asked, "Master, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Chu Yueqing calculated the man's horoscope.
"If there is metal in the Bing and Xin earthly branches, there must be double roots of wood and earth in the hour. The eight characters also show the phenomenon of the sun and the moon, which means that your boyfriend has an older brother who was born two minutes earlier."
"Your boyfriend's eight characters represent Yin, and he has a gentle and introverted personality."
"The eight characters two minutes earlier represent Yang, and he has a sunny and cheerful personality."
"According to the eight characters, you are involved in romantic affairs with both of them, which means you are in love with two people at the same time."
Amin couldn't believe it: "No way, my boyfriend once said that he was the only son in the family. I've never heard of twins."
Chu Yueqing calculated the brother's eight characters, "When you met him, he was indeed the only son in the family."
Amin was even more confused.
Chu Yueqing explained slowly: "Although they are twins, the elder brother's fate was more turbulent. He was taken away by a black doctor when he was just born, and his parents always thought that only one of the twins survived. Until you showed up."
"I showed up?" Amin pointed at himself, his eyebrows wrinkled together, "Master, is it because of my appearance that the brothers recognized each other?"
"That's right." Chu Yueqing continued to count with her fingers, "The first time you met your boyfriend was at the sports field, right? He was playing basketball."
"Yes." Amin gradually calmed down, "He took the initiative to ask me for my contact information. The second time was in the library, I went to borrow books."
After speaking, Amin realized something, his eyes widened and his little hand covered his mouth, "Could it be that the first person I met was my brother?"
"That's true." Chu Yueqing looked at the horoscope and found that her brother would indeed have a relationship with Mr. Amin. "It's because of you that the two brothers can meet."
Amin muttered, "No wonder, every time I talk to my boyfriend about the topic of the last date, he can't keep up."
When she first heard the news, she was very shocked. She
even forgot to be angry.
After the shock, she is now very angry, "Really... If that's the case, then I'm talking to two people at the same time? Why can't I feel it at all?"
Chu Yueqing held the teacup and took a sip of tea, "135 is the younger brother, 246 is the older brother, and we take turns to accompany you on Sundays."
It's normal that Amin can't feel it in such a short time.
"I thought my boyfriend was killed, but now there are two." Amin was very tired.
The important thing is that boyfriends can still recognize each other because of her.
Things are so complicated.
Neighbors chimed in.
"Why are we breaking up? We are both adults. One of us is sleeping, and both of us are sleeping together. Why don't we hug each other and sleep together. The quilt will be warmer in winter."
"Anyway, if they are willing, they will be with you as each other's substitutes. The little girl might as well accept them all with mercy."
"Yes, there was Wu Zetian in ancient times, and now Amin is now!"
"Open marriage, if I hadn't been old, I would have given it a try."
"Sister Ding, please save your time, haha."
Amin couldn't laugh or cry as she listened to the neighbors' words. When she first sat down to read her fortune, she could still laugh, but now she can neither cry nor laugh.
"Master, in your opinion, what should I do now? Break up or not?"
Amin's residence is not far from Temple Street.
On weekdays, her boyfriend carries a key with him to take care of her diet and daily life.
Amin thought of the fortune-telling and the master's words, and felt that she had to expose this matter no matter what. In order to avoid being deceived all the time.
She called for leave and returned to her residence.
It was almost noon time, and her boyfriend should be preparing to cook for her. Amin bit her lip and slowly opened the door of her residence.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard two very similar voices coming from the kitchen.
The impatient one complained, "What on earth are you planning? We said fair competition and sharing information with each other. Amin likes carrots, why don't you say so?"
There were two sounds of liquid gas being pumped.
The cooler one said, "You didn't ask, so why should I tell her?"
The impatient one said, "If
we are brothers, we should tell her." "Even brothers should make clear accounts." The cooler one replied.
Gradually, the impatient voice calmed down, "You said... Now we take turns to accompany Amin for a month, can she feel the difference between us?"
The cooler one was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't know."
"Ah." The impatient one sighed, "You didn't touch Amin in a month, did you?"
"No, what about you?" The cooler one asked.
"I dared not to, I didn't even dare to kiss her, I was in private the whole time. I was afraid that she would hate us if she knew the truth."
Two men squatted in the kitchen to watch the fire, one in basketball sportswear, the other in a white shirt and trousers.
Amin didn't realize until she walked in that the difference between the two men was so obvious.
She had always ignored it before.
Amin's round eyes were filled with sadness, and his throat was dry and tight as if it had been dry for a long time. "You... do you have anything to say to me?"
Hearing Amin's voice.
The two men's figures with their backs to the kitchen door were tense and stiff.
Not long after.
The dessert stall on Temple Street saw two boys chasing Amin, even after Amin got into a taxi, they still chased after him.
Ashan Po looked at it and marveled, and handed over a few sugar oranges, "The fighter among the sugar oranges is from the Fourth Guangdong Association. Would you like to try it?"
"No, Ah Shan Po." Chu Yuening smiled, and when she peeled off the sugar oranges, she must have given a thumbs up, "Like!"
"Is it delicious?" Ashanpo laughed, "I asked a friend to make a special trip to bring back the goods. I like to eat a lot of them."
As she talked, Ashanpo took a few steps closer, "Ningning, what did you just say to Amin?"
"Nothing said." Chu Yuening sprinkled another orange slice, and the sweet juice exploded on her taste buds. She chewed and squinted, "I just told her the ending of breaking up and not breaking up."
"To break up or not to break up?" The little old lady's eyes lit up instantly, "Tell me quickly."
Chu Yueqing patiently explained: "Amin really likes a combination of the two brothers. If she spends too much time with the sunny ones, she will find it lively. If she spends too much time with the gloomy ones, she will find it too quiet. The previous 135246 together made her feel that everything was just right."
"If they broke up, Amin would have made different boyfriends, but none of them would make her like them again. It was not until eight years later that she met the two brothers again and got entangled with them. She spent ten years with the older brother and another ten years with the younger brother. Later, the three of them lived together."
"If they didn't break up, would they have basically lived together in advance?"
The horoscopes of the three people are actually quite compatible. The key is still to see what Amin chooses.
The customs of the older generation in Hong Kong are actually still relatively traditional. Most of the elders in Hong Kong cannot accept the open marriages abroad.
Ah Shan Po was just an accident, she could accept it, and looked at the two brothers who were running away after the taxi on the street with her hands behind her back.
"Now, have they broken up?"
Chu Yueqing counted on her fingers, "After being deceived for so long, it's not too much to be angry for a while, right?"
Ah Shan Po understood and laughed.
When Chu Yueqing was about to count the next one, Su Xiu Ya came back with a brown travel bag.
"Master."
After Su Xiu Ya sat down, she was silent for a long time before she said, "Thank you for your divination today, otherwise... I would never know the truth until I die."
Chu Yueqing looked at the brown travel bag and raised her eyebrows: "Where are you going?" "
I don't speak English well, I plan to fly to Singapore." Su Xiu Ya raised her hand and habitually wanted to put it on her belly, then paused and put it on the table, "Before leaving, I want to take another look at my fortune. Master, may I ask if my fate has changed after taking this step?"
Chu Yueqing looked at Su Xiu Ya's face.
The face that originally gave birth to two sons who died young has changed, and the children's palace is sunken, indicating that it is impossible to have children in this life. A little red light flew into the wealth palace, which should be an unexpected fortune. This wealth can help her quickly gain a foothold in Singapore, and her career luck will not be bad in the second half of her life.
Chu Yueqing told her the result.
Su Xiuya forced a smile on her pale face, "Thank you, Master, I am very satisfied with the result."
As she said that, she opened her travel bag.
A neighbor who was close by saw that the travel bag was filled with a bag of money and was stunned.
"Money, a lot of money."
Su Xiuya ignored the outside noise and took out a wad of money from the travel bag and handed it to the table.
Chu Yueqing did not want the wad of money and pushed it back, "I have already given it to you before, and I will not pay you twice for the same thing."
She insisted on her attitude, and Su Xiuya had no choice but to put the money back into the bag.
Knowing that Chu Yueqing already knew where the money came from, Su Xiuya smiled bitterly, "Master, do you think the money is not clean?"
"Clean, why not? You used your empty body to give birth to two children, you can take it and put it down, what's not clean about it?" Chu Yueqing said lightly.
"It's them who are not clean."
Su Xiuya thought of what she heard and sneered, "Yes, I was blinded by love, not a fool who is still obsessed with the facts."
She needs love.
But she must live to enjoy it.
When Su Xiuya saw that things were really as the master had calculated, she decided not to sit and wait for death.
When she stood up, Su Xiuya lowered her eyes and saw her bulging belly, and asked the last question.
"Master, since fortune-telling is true, then many metaphysical things are also true, right? If I abort the baby, will they become a Yin fetus and come back to haunt me?"
"The fetus that can become a Yin fetus has already taken shape in the mother's belly and has thoughts. Yours is not mature enough, and besides..."
Chu Yueqing raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Where have you ever been pregnant?"
The blood in the belly is not Su Xiuya's. Even if it is formed and aborted, the Yin fetus will follow the bloodline to find Ai Rui.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor.
Su Xiuya understood, and she bowed solemnly while carrying the luggage bag with her bulging belly: "Thank you Master for your guidance."
Su Xiuya left.
Chu Yueqing stretched her back and said, "Next."
Before she opened her eyes, she heard the fortune teller sit down in front of her with a plop. The wooden stool made a creaking sound, and the sound faintly collapsed.
"Master, I am unlucky, I am really unlucky."
"Master, help me!"
