Divination for your destined partner
The picture shows a girl in camouflage military training uniform sitting in a restaurant with Xiang Zhixing. Even though Shen Muwei and Liang Jiayu had only met once, the scene of Liang Jiayu squatting on the ground and crying her heart out that day was too vivid in her mind. Although the picture was enlarged and somewhat blurry, she still recognized the girl as Liang Jiayu at a glance.
For some reason, she felt that Zhang Wenhao made her a little uncomfortable.
He spoke unclearly, asking directly, "Is this Xiang Zhixing's girlfriend?"
What about Liang Jiayu? She was inexplicably labeled as a "boyfriend".
Movie: [You live so close to him, wouldn't it be better for you to ask him yourself? Didn't you become friends while jogging yesterday?]
Zhang Wenhao on the other side of the screen was stunned. He had almost forgotten that he and Xiang Zhixing had actually done a pretty good job of being friends on the surface yesterday, but in reality, they hadn't even added each other as friends.
In that moment of stunned silence, Shen Muwei sent another message:
Are you too shy to ask in person? Should I send you my contact information so you can ask on your phone?
Zhang Wenhao: [No, hahaha, I just thought you knew and asked you first.]
Movie: [Oh, okay, if you don't want to ask, then forget it.]
When Shen Muwei replied like that, Zhang Wenhao didn't know how to respond. He scratched his head and suddenly felt like he had done something stupid.
Her eyes widened in surprise. "Xiang Zhixing has a girlfriend!"
“Oh no, this is his sister,” Shen Muwei explained.
Qian Eryun: "So you still acknowledge your real sister?"
Shen Muwei: "Really? We're related by blood."
Qian Eryun was even more surprised: "No, you've even met his family?"
Shen Muwei was a bit stunned, and smiled wryly while rubbing her forehead: "Sister, are you overthinking this? His sister happens to be a freshman at our school. I ran into her when I came back from having dinner with him last time, that's all."
She kept quiet about the incident where Xiang Zhixing's relatives caused a scene at the school, because it wasn't appropriate for her to talk about their family matters.
Qian Eryun: "Oh, I see. That scared me to death. I was wondering how a dance could contain so much information."
Today is the last rehearsal. Qian Eryun will be quite busy tomorrow. After leaving the dance studio tonight, she plans to treat the two of them to dinner.
We chose a hot pot restaurant next door, and it was quite crowded at this time. The three of us waited for a table before going in.
When we came out after dinner, people were already setting up the venue. There were many small stalls set up in the open-air plaza, many of which were applied for by university students from the university town and the shopping mall.
A girl in a long purple dress with loose black hair saw the three of them walking slowly, arm in arm, craning her neck to look curiously at each stall. She ran over with a flyer in hand.
"Hi everyone, I'm sending this to you. We're senior students from Huida University, and we'll be setting up a stall here tomorrow. My roommate is selling small crochet items, and I'll be doing tarot readings next to her. If you're interested, feel free to come and take a look; I'll give you a discount."
Shen Muwei took the flyer, which featured adorable hand-drawn illustrations. It seemed the illustrations were drawn on a tablet and then printed. She looked up and smiled, saying:
"Oh, it's you, senior! We're also from Huida University. Don't worry, senior, we'll definitely come to support you tomorrow."
"Ah, so you're from the same school. You must be my family. Thank you so much! Please come tomorrow, because it's our first time setting up a stall and we're afraid that all the other stalls will be full while ours will be empty."
The senior student in the purple dress was so cute, and she made a pleading gesture.
Zhao Ranzhu: "Don't worry, senior, we'll definitely come tomorrow."
-
The next day the weather was fine, clear and crisp, with just the right temperature – neither too hot nor too cold.
Qian Eryun went to the dance studio again in the morning to rehearse the dance with them.
Shen Muwei and Zhao Ranzhu were called by their teacher to help out in the afternoon and were not released until 5 p.m. They rushed to the underground pedestrian street as soon as they were released.
Qian Eryun brought them good news in the group chat, saying that she had danced very successfully and hadn't made a single mistake. She said she was very nervous at first, but relaxed as she danced.
Movie: [Qian Eryun [Fire] 604 Strongest Dancer [Dancing]! ACE Yun! Qian! It's Qian Eryun's Qian! Er is Qian Eryun's Er! Yun is Qian Eryun's Yun!]
Zhao Ranzhu followed the formation at the back, and a few minutes later Guan Panfu also joined the formation in the group.
Guan Guan Xiaofu: [I didn't see it! I didn't see it! I want to see the fancam!]
iCloud: [There's another scene later, when will the photographer be ready? [crying]]
Sister Zhu: [Coming right away, we're unlocking the car, we'll be there!]
Today's event was exceptionally large, with pre-event promotions starting a week prior on various social media platforms' local sections. Coupled with its location in the university town, many students came to take photos and check in, making the event incredibly lively.
Shen Muwei and Zhao Ranzhu had nowhere to park, and they parked quite far away. Despite their hurried efforts, they still managed to catch Qian Eryun's performance.
She stood on the stage set up in the open-air square, dressed in clothes with a touch of subculture, looking rather cool, posing and waiting for the show to start. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her partner arriving and couldn't help but smile.
Both of them held up their phones to take pictures; one was taking a panoramic shot, and the other was taking a direct shot of Qian Eryun.
After it ended, Shen Muwei acted as the atmosphere-setter, enthusiastically cheering for Qian Eryun.
Qian Eryun came down from the side, her face covered in heavy stage makeup, with rhinestones on her face and glitter on her eyelids like the shimmering surface of a lake illuminated by the setting sun.
Shen Muwei gave a thumbs up: "Beautiful! Well done!"
After that, Qian Eryun was free to do whatever she wanted and wander around with everyone.
First, I went to the restroom next door to remove my heavy makeup, then changed into normal clothes. We ate dinner at the McDonald's next door, just a quick bite, and then the group set off to find the senior from yesterday.
As Shen Muwei pushed open the door to go out, she received a text message from Xiang Zhixing, asking if she would like to come and stroll around the underground pedestrian street together that evening, as there was an event going on there.
Shen Muwei replied: 【I'm right here with my roommate. You can come right over.】
xzx: [Okay, coming right now.]
Zhao Ranzhu has a better sense of direction; she remembered the location of the stall from last night and led the two of them there.
The senior student's name is Li Shuyu, a student from the Academy of Fine Arts. It was probably around lunchtime, so there weren't many people at the stall at that time.
The senior student who shared the stall with her was named Li Mu, who was also a student at the Academy of Fine Arts. The two of them put their stalls together, mainly displaying Li Mu's own crochet handicrafts, such as bags, accessories, and dolls, which were all very cute.
Shen Muwei liked these cute little things, picking one up to look at it and then picking up another to look at it, wanting to buy them.
Li Mu seemed a bit shy, not as outgoing as Li Shuyu, but Shen Muwei thought she was very gentle. Her long, wavy hair was styled into a loose, low bun, with a thin strand of hair pulled out from the bottom and placed in front of her chest. She had a pointed chin, long eyebrows that reached her temples, and a pair of fox-like eyes that looked more innocent because of the slightly drooping eyeliner. Upon closer inspection, she was unbelievably beautiful.
Just for her looks, she'd have to buy something, right...?
Shen Muwei picked up a black and white checkered bag, a cat doll, and a carrot hair clip from the side, asked her senior to pay for them, and that was how she started talking to her.
The senior student's voice was also pleasant, soft and gentle, clear yet firm.
Li Shuyu fanned them, saying, "It's so good that you're here. Thank you so much."
Zhao Ranzhu casually asked how business was, and the senior student nodded and said, "It's actually not bad, not as bad as I thought."
Zhao Ranzhu wanted to have her tarot read and asked about her career. The result was pretty good. Qian Eryun didn't dare to ask and didn't want to know these things, so she went to the side to help Li Mu.
Shen Muwei also wanted to ask, but she was asking about her financial fortune. Her senior colleague exaggeratedly remarked, "So many people have come to ask about tarot today, all about finances and career. Nobody's asking about love! Is love some kind of niche term now?"
Zhao Ranzhu chimed in from the side, "Senior, why don't you tell her her love fortune? I'm curious when this blockhead of hers will finally come to her senses."
Shen Muwei looked over speechlessly, then pretended to hit her: "I'm not like that!"
Zhao Ranzhu coaxed her, "Okay, okay, you're not. You're a heartthrob. You're the smartest woman in the world who can manipulate emotions at will."
These words displeased Shen Muwei, so she decided to consider it love, since it might not even be real anyway.
"Then I'll call it love."
The senior student shuffled the cards: "Okay, what question do you want to ask? For example, you can ask: Will my true love appear in the next three months, or what kind of person my true love is?"
Shen Muwei rolled her eyes and casually said, "Then let's ask if your destined partner will appear in the next three months."
"Okay, now, take a deep breath, silently repeat this question in your mind, and then give me three numbers."
The three cards drawn are: The High Priestess, The Lovers reversed, and The Queen of Cups.
The senior student raised an eyebrow slightly: "Wow, judging from the information given by the cards, your destined partner has already appeared."
Shen Muwei looked incredulous and exclaimed, "Huh?"
Zhao Ranzhu chuckled: "I was right, she's a woman who plays with emotions like a puppet."
The senior continued, "Queen of Cups, the information I have is that he is completely subservient to you and listens to you very much. He is emotionally stable and caring. I can't see any problems with him. He is a good guy."
Li Shuyu smiled and looked at her: "She's a good person, you should seize the opportunity."
Shen Muwei: "But it's not allowed, there's no such thing."
Li Shuyu's gaze fell on the reversed Lovers card, and she nodded silently. Then she said, "It's okay. This is based on your current state of mind. This is the message the universe is giving us, but life is constantly changing, so it may not be accurate. Just treat it as a game."
"Oh, oh." Shen Muwei nodded, what she said made sense.
The phone that Shen Muwei had casually placed on the stall buzzed. She picked it up and saw that it was Xiang Zhixing calling. He must have arrived by now.
As Shen Muwei prepared to answer the phone, she said to Zhao Ranzhu, "I'm going to check on things; a friend of mine has arrived."
Zhao Ranzhu had already seen who it was on her phone screen. She crossed her arms and nodded, "Go ahead."
The call connected, and it was very noisy on the other end. Xiang Zhixing asked her where she was.
Shen Muwei glanced around but didn't see anyone else.
The sky had darkened, and the lights from the shops along the street poured onto the ground. The tall lamppost in the center of the square was lit, and a strong light enveloped the area, turning it into a joyful otherworld.
In the distance, only a sliver of the setting sun remained on the horizon, and the temperature had dropped somewhat, but because of the large crowds in the square, Shen Muwei still felt very hot.
Shen Muwei looked for a reference point: "...Hmm...You should walk over to the stage first...then walk a bit to the left front from behind the stage, you should be able to see me then..."
Xiang Zhixing: "Oh, okay, I'm coming right now, don't hang up yet."
"Mmm, I know..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone patted her shoulder. She thought Xiang Zhixing had arrived and was teasing her. Turning around, she saw a boy with a neat buzz cut standing in front of her.
"What's wrong? Are you so surprised to see me?" Song Yuanbai smiled, bent down a little, and couldn't help but rub her head.
She hung up the phone without thinking, forgetting that there was someone on the other end.
"Xiaobai, what are you doing here? You're back from school again?"
Song Yuanbai raised an eyebrow: "Of course, I want to come back to see you."
Shen Muwei grinned: "But how did you know I was here?"
"I grew up with you, how could I not know?" He couldn't help but laugh again: "Okay, I was just kidding. I asked my aunt, and she told me."
Shen Muwei remembered that Mu Qing had asked her to come home for dinner today, but she said she was going to play with her roommates in the underground pedestrian street tonight and wouldn't be coming home for dinner.
But with so many people here, how did he find himself? That's quite impressive.
"With so many people around, you actually managed to find me. You must have been looking for a long time, right?"
Song Yuanbai smiled easily: "It hasn't been long, you're easy to find."
He made a foolish mistake by not asking her beforehand and just coming here to wait for her, so he arrived an hour earlier than her.
If he hadn't just seen her come out of the stall next to him, he probably really wouldn't have been able to find her.
Not far away, Xiang Zhixing quickened his pace. He was certain it was that person's voice, that annoying person.
He has a great sense of direction and quickly found the stage. He turned around and took two steps to the left front, creating a very eye-catching scene.
Song Yuanbai was tall, his eyes lowered, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Shen Muwei who was talking to him. Shen Muwei was talking to him, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, her dimples appearing and disappearing, the emotions in them different from those she showed in front of him.
He unconsciously gripped the milk tea bag in his hand, the scene before him just like that summer one year, always burning his heart with pain.
My steps faltered, as if I could no longer move forward.
Xiang Zhixing admitted that he could be a bit timid at times, but this time he really wanted to come...
Having already given something away to Song Yuanbai, Shen Muwei didn't want to give it up again.
Take a deep breath and keep walking forward.
Shen Muwei hadn't forgotten that Xiang Zhixing was coming, but Song Yuanbai's sudden arrival had indeed surprised her, and in that instant, she unconsciously hung up the phone.
She chatted with Song Yuanbai for a while before remembering that she had just been on the phone with Xiang Zhixing.
Just as I was about to call back, I looked up and saw Xiang Zhixing.
"Xiang Zhixing, over here!" She waved to him, beckoning him over.
A smile curved Xiang Zhixing's lips as he raised his other hand, which wasn't holding the milk tea, and waved at her.
Song Yuanbai followed Shen Muwei's gaze and saw that the person walking towards him was the same person he had seen at the high-speed rail station. He was also certain that the male voice he had heard on the phone that night was also his.
As Xiang Zhixing drew closer, Shen Muwei promptly introduced him to Song Yuanbai: "Xiang Zhixing is my classmate, and Song Yuanbai is my childhood friend."
Both of them appeared to be smiling, but the smiles didn't reach their eyes; their gazes scrutinized each other with an icy intensity.
Instead of giving a positive response immediately, Song Yuanbai asked in return, "If I remember correctly, I think I met this person at the supermarket last week?"
Before Xiang Zhixing could speak, Shen Muwei quickly explained, "...Yes...You have a really good memory, hahaha...That time was a misunderstanding, he's actually a very nice person."
Song Yuanbai simply smiled and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding."
Shen Muwei almost forgot that the two of them had a misunderstanding at the supermarket. She never expected that Song Yuanbai would come back at this time, nor did she expect that he would come here to find her.
Xiang Zhixing smiled and said, "It was indeed a misunderstanding. It was all my fault. I was too willful. I apologize to you."
Seeing that Song Yuanbai was about to continue attacking Xiang Zhixing, she spoke up in time: "He has already apologized, so we are all good friends now."
As she spoke, she winked at Song Yuanbai, signaling him not to cause trouble at this time. However, Song Yuanbai completely ignored her and didn't respond to her message.
The atmosphere was getting tense. Xiang Zhixing handed the milk tea bag in his hand to Shen Muwei: "I bought a few cups of milk tea when I came. You can take them and share them with your roommates."
Meanwhile, Zhao Ranzhu, Qian Eryun, and two senior students huddled together watching this side.
Li Shuyu slightly raised her chin: "Didn't I tell you my tarot readings are somewhat accurate?"
Zhao Ranzhu and Qian Eryun simultaneously gave her a thumbs up: "Senior is brilliant."
Shen Muwei took two steps forward with the milk tea, then looked back again, still worried. She found the two of them just staring at each other with fake smiles. They were about the same height and looked like two wax figures, not moving or saying a word for a long time.
She couldn't be bothered to care anymore and walked towards her senior.
"Senior, my classmate treated us to drinks, let's drink together."
Xiang Zhixing only bought three cups because he often saw the three people from Shen Muwei's dormitory walking together.
Li Shuyu waved her hand: "No, no, sister doesn't want it. Someone will bring milk tea over later, right, Li Mu?"
As she spoke, she raised her chin toward Li Mu, who was quietly watching the scene, and also raised her eyebrows.
Li Mu glanced at him, then turned away and ignored him.
So the three cups of milk tea were divided equally among the three people in 604.
Seeing that Shen Muwei had already walked away, Song Yuanbai bluntly asked Xiang Zhixing, "What do you mean?"
Xiang Zhixing looked innocent and asked in surprise, "What...what do you mean?"
Song Yuanbai raised an eyebrow. Well, he'd run into a pretentious guy.
He was very direct, taking a step closer, as if issuing a warning, yet his tone carried a hint of nonchalance: "Stay away from Chen Muwei. I know exactly what you're up to."
Xiang Zhixing: "We're just college classmates. We occasionally eat together, go shopping, go for a run at night, and exchange text messages and make phone calls in the evening. What ideas could I possibly have?"
