Chapter 382 What Stimulated You?
"There are always people who use despicable means and do things that are not nice. We must be on guard against them." There are many people who will do anything to achieve their goals. Dai Qing is inexperienced and young, so most people would not take her seriously.
Dai Qing agrees with this point. There are always people who lack martial ethics.
"Don't worry, I will definitely stay alert. After a while, I will plan to go back to my hometown." Since there are right and wrong here, it is wisest to withdraw.
Hearing that she was going back, Tang Zikai was stunned.
"You've already bought a house here, aren't you ready to settle down? Why are you going back?"
"Who says I can't have two homes? Buying a house here is convenient because I have a place to stay. But I can't give up my hometown. I have to go back and visit it."
There are no close relatives in my hometown or here, so it doesn't matter where I stay.
However, some customer resources still need to be maintained and cannot be abandoned all at once.
Besides, she earned her first pot of gold in her hometown, so she definitely wouldn’t be willing to throw it away completely.
Tang Zikai looked at her. Although he didn't quite understand her thoughts, he expressed his respect.
At present, as a friend, he really has no right to interfere too much.
"When are you going to leave? If I'm free, I'll come and see you off."
"Your work is special, so you don't need to waste time deliberately. I just got inspired and left with my small bag."
Dai Qing picked up another piece of cake and smiled at Tang Zikai.
"I am so lucky to have a friend like you. According to physiognomy, you are my benefactor."
These people are of extraordinary status and naturally noble. Having them around can affect the fortunes of those around them.
Tang Zikai was stunned, his eyes bright. He is her benefactor?
"That sounds interesting."
Dai Qing just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it.
The two drank tea and talked for a while, and then Dai Qing started to prepare lunch.
Tang Zikai said that the fried noodles she made last time were delicious, so Dai Qing planned to make it again, just enough for two people, which is very simple.
Watching her busy in the kitchen, Tang Zikai leaned against the door, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.
Ever since I got to know Dai Qing, I realized that she lives alone. No wonder she can do anything. It's actually quite pitiful.
Smelling the aroma of the sauce wafting from the pot, Tang Zikai couldn't help but praise, "With your cooking skills, you can open a restaurant."
"Then I'll take that as a compliment. I've always aspired to be a physiognomist and have no intention of changing my career."
Dai Qing broke up the rolled noodles and put them on a tray, then said to herself,
"I cook now because I don't want to make my mouth feel uncomfortable. Life is too long. If nothing else, it's worth it to make my mouth feel better."
"What kind of thinking is that? You can't live just to eat, right? You'll have to get married, have kids, raise them, and so on. There are so many things to do."
Tang Zikai could only laugh at her thoughts.
Although we now emphasize gender equality and women hold up half the sky, in the end, there are still more women who are the protagonists.
Dai Qing was stunned when she heard this, but it was not surprising after thinking about it. She had not told Tang Zikai that she had no intention of getting married.
"Marriage and having children are other people's business. I don't expect to have them in my lifetime. As a friend, I might as well tell you that I have made up my mind to be a bachelor. I will never get married and live alone until I grow old."
After saying this, Dai Qing found that Tang Zikai was staring at her in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
Dai Qing wiped her hands with a rag and raised her eyebrows. "Are you surprised or do you find it incredible?"
"... Both. I'm just curious. Why would you have such thoughts?"
Isn't it natural for a girl to fall in love and get married when she reaches the right age? Why doesn't she want to get married?
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Anyway, marriage has no appeal to me. Instead of wasting time on romance, I'd rather be a fortune teller who helps people solve their problems."
As she spoke, Dai Qing looked at him and couldn't help but tease him.
"In my free time, I can still get together with friends and chat. If I were trapped at home, I might not be able to chat with you freely like I am now."
Even if people are more open-minded nowadays, if a married woman dine and chat with male friends recklessly, she still has to consider the consequences.
Otherwise, it will easily cause family conflicts and lead to the wife and children leaving each other.
When Tang Zikai and his friends get married, she will also need to keep a proper distance from them to avoid causing any negative impact on them.
Now, she is not married and the other party is not married either, so they don't care.
Seeing that she was serious, Tang Zikai couldn't help but stand up straight, "Did something happen to you?"
Most girls of her age would secretly date, but she just announced that she would not get married.
Something must have influenced her.
Dai Qing was stunned and looked at him in surprise, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because it's strange for a girl of your age to have such thoughts."
Tang Zikai walked in and looked down at Dai Qing.
"It's not logical. It's not normal."
Dai Qing: “…”
Indeed, this person was very insightful, and she had nothing to say. But she was not prepared to tell anyone about her rebirth, and if she really wanted to explain it, she really didn't have a good reason.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. I just want to be a great fortune teller in my lifetime. I have no interest in anything else."
Dai Qing said, her eyes flickered, and she looked up at Tang Zikai.
"Have you heard of the five evils and three deficiencies? They are widowhood, orphanage, loneliness, and disability. The three deficiencies are power, money, and life."
"What do you mean?" Tang Zikai frowned.
"To put it simply, it's the punishment from heaven for leaking too much secrets. Most physiognomists and celestial masters who have some skills can't escape the five disadvantages and three shortcomings. No matter which one, it's a fatal blow to a family."
Speaking of this, Dai Qing waved her hands helplessly.
"I'm not exaggerating. My physiognomy is a skill I learned from my grandfather. I really have some skills. I can't say which of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings will happen to me, but I can be sure of one thing: money has no influence on me."
Not only did she make money, she also bought a house, so as to save money for her retirement with confidence.
As for the rest, she is not prepared to get involved, so it won't happen to her.
She had no idea whether her experiences in her past life counted, and there was no one she could ask about such matters.
Tang Zikai: “…”
Are there such serious disadvantages to fortune-telling?
Living alone for a lifetime is quite miserable just thinking about it.
"You are still young anyway, maybe you will change your mind in the future." Tang Zikai still couldn't accept it. He lived in a new society and grew up under the red flag. It was difficult for him to accept theories about supernatural powers.
But after meeting Dai Qing, he changed his mind and believed that the world is full of wonders, but he still couldn't convince himself that a profession alone could cause personal injury.
