Late at night, a fortune teller knows how to tell fortunes, and in the afternoon, a doctor accompanies shopping.
In last night’s video, I acted quite coquettishly with my parents. Comparatively, today’s video was a bit shorter because it was late.
Although Xue Jiuyue drank purified water during dinner, the lively and harmonious atmosphere was no less effective than tea, and it dispelled the already elusive sleepiness.
I turned on my computer and logged into the software. Although it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, "Spit Star" still sent me a greeting immediately, "Hello, beautiful lady!"
"Still asleep?"
"When I see a beautiful woman, I feel refreshed and energetic, and my internal energy is more abundant than ten years of practice. Sleeping? It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!"
"Stop, I'm not the leader! Stop talking nonsense and go!"
…
As the night deepened, Xue Jiuyue quit the game and said, "Go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."
"No, we're so excited, how can we just leave like that? Princess Yue, is she tired and wants to go to bed?"
"I'm afraid you'll be late tomorrow and get scolded by your boss."
"Thank you, Princess Yue, for your mercy. I am deeply grateful. But when I think about the fact that I still have a secret that I haven't confessed to the beautiful Yue, my heart aches and I feel like I'm dying. I deserve to die! I deserve to die a thousand times!"
As usual, it will naturally break when it reaches the critical point.
"Since you deserve to die, then why don't you just die!"
"No, I have to tell this secret to Miss Yue while I'm still breathing. The secret is - actually, I just happen to be a store manager and I don't have to punch in to work!"
"Tsk, you're just talking nonsense, not a single serious word."
"Miss Yue, you must not wrongly accuse a good person! I am a serious person. Since we started chatting, I have not said a single inappropriate word! Besides, I saw that the master was very happy today, so I wanted to spend more time with the master."
"Pfft" Xue Jiuyue couldn't help laughing out loud, "You counted with your fingers again? Your fingers haven't broken yet?"
"How can that be possible? If it's cut off, how can I spy on the secrets of heaven and help the young master solve his problems?"
"No need for a dog-headed military advisor."
"I'm a military advisor, not a dog's head. I'm a staff officer, so I must lead (zhang three times). I can see past events by observing the celestial phenomena at night, and I can predict good and bad fortune by counting on my fingers. Yesterday, my fortune was in the "Heaven and Water Song" hexagram, the first six lines. There will be a minor quarrel, nothing serious. The tiger won't hurt anyone, but you will be in a bad mood. Today, my fortune is in the "Mountain and Thunder Yi" hexagram, the upper nine lines. You will have dinner with friends and be in a good mood. I wonder if what you said is right?"
If the truth had been inferred from clues before, Xue Jiuyue could understand it. But this time, the "spitting star" was a pure charlatan's rhetoric, and it was basically consistent with the facts, which made Xue Jiuyue very puzzled. Is there really such a thing as prediction?
"Can you tell fortunes?"
"Oh, it's not that difficult. It's not worth mentioning. Don't worship me. I'm just a legend."
"Speak human language, or I'll block you!"
"Confess, I confess everything! You didn't play games online yesterday. I guess you were in a bad mood. You, um, store manager! What could have happened without leaving the house? Even if there was something, wouldn't it have been said verbally? Is it possible that a beautiful woman would resort to violence? You're still up so late today, and you speak so gently, so you must be in a good mood. Plus, you're online late, so you're probably having dinner with friends."
As long as you use your "trump card", "Spit Star" will confess on his own initiative! Xue Jiuyue replied proudly, "I told you, how can you be so accurate!"
"Uh, I fell into the trap! Well, as compensation, Miss Yue can't sleep again, let's chat, what's going on."
"It's nothing. I just had a small misunderstanding with a customer in the restaurant yesterday. Today, he insisted on treating me to a meal to make amends. I specified a restaurant that was obviously full to refuse him, but I didn't expect..." Xue Jiuyue, in high spirits, gave a brief description of what had happened in the past two days.
"Well, my lady, you may be in love again!"
"Impossible! We've only chatted once, and we went out to dinner together today. Besides, he's married, and being his mistress is an insult to me! - Don't mention it again, or I'll really block you!"
"My dear, you've misunderstood. It's not you who wants to be a mistress, but your client has gone to such lengths to apologize. He might not even realize that this has gone beyond the realm of ordinary friendship. It's either a desire to show off or a desire to conquer, but the premise is that he's targeting you. So, if he has a normal family life and a decent moral compass, then everything is fine. Otherwise, he might pursue you relentlessly, beautiful lady."
Xue Jiuyue also felt that the "Spit Star"'s serious explanation seemed to make some sense, but it was still a long way to go to completely convince her. "You're talking nonsense! I don't believe that eating a meal can lead to an extramarital affair! I can't control others, but can I control myself?"
"Amen..."
"You're playing tricks on me. Hey, you, tell me about yourself!"
"Me? In Chinese, it's just—I am my unique firework. In English, it's—I am who am. In Arabic, it's—"
“——Oh, why is my online translator not working properly?” The second half of the sentence appeared on its own within a few seconds.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what's in your household registration book!"
"Oh, my name is Chen Xing, you can call me Xing'er, the shop manager of a small painting shop, 32 years old, male, interested in women, single."
"You're a painter? Is that true?"
"I'm a painter, a painter who uses his hands to present all kinds of scenes. I don't paint, I just work as a transporter for nature. Miss Yue, are you interested in me and want to know more about me? Oh, actually, we are quite destined to be together. No matter how you look at it, we are a match made in heaven."
"Go to hell, to raise a pet you have to know the gender, breed, and teeth, right?"
"Beautiful Yue, this is too hurtful. I can't stand it."
…
Last night, the two of them joked around without restraint and without end, until tiredness mixed with sleepiness turned into a series of yawns, and then they said good night to each other.
A relaxed mood and restful sleep provide enough nutrients to nourish a sunny day full of energy.
"Sister Yue, letter."
Lin Yiyi's concise voice did not leave after delivering the same letter every day.
"how?"
"Mr. Qian, you're a very nice person."
Understanding Lin Yiyi's implication, Xue Jiuyue said provocatively with a wicked smile: "Well, that's right, you have an idea? Be careful of the fierce lady!"
Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes before saying, "Qiu Nian said he was trying to get information about you in a roundabout way, and I didn't know whether I should tell him or not."
"Oh?" After a brief moment of confusion, Xue Jiuyue recalled the "painful" contact and puzzled look between her and Qian Jianjun on the day they first met. "Are you asking about my health?"
"Um!"
After a little thought, Xue Jiuyue decided to add another layer of protection based on the prediction made by "Spit Star" last night and Lin Yiyi's joke just now. "Just tell me, it's no big deal. There's no need to hide anything from your friends."
"I understand. Are we friends now?" After saying that, Lin Yiyi turned and left, facing Xue Jiuyue's explanation with her back, in retaliation for the provocation just now.
When no one is around, Liu Che likes to turn on the radio as soon as he opens his eyes and analyze the context of the world from various news.
Today was no exception. News accompanied him through a busy yet orderly morning, until in the afternoon he sat quietly in the sound waves and merged with the environment.
"Recently, Dongyuan City police successfully cracked a theft case specifically targeting college students. The suspect, Wei Mouli, stole the mobile phone of female college student Liu Mouxuan. During his escape, the phone automatically triggered an alarm and he was caught red-handed. Investigations revealed that Wei Mouli had been roaming around colleges and universities in Dongyuan City for years, stealing mobile phones and money from college students. Wei Mouli had been arrested for theft many times before, but each time he was exempted from prosecution because the amount involved was insufficient and he had reached an understanding with the owner. After his arrest this time, the police seized stolen goods worth more than 100,000 yuan from his home. It is worth noting that the police also seized several cultural relics of unknown origin from his home. The specific details are subject to further investigation."
This piece of news stirred up a thousand waves in the otherwise calm water. Liu Che stood up, then sat down again, opening his phone and searching for relevant news...
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..." After almost half an hour, with no response to the message, the phone kept ringing like this. Liu Che concluded that Xue Jiuyue was probably in the coffee shop. He packed up briefly and left.
It was Liu Che's first time at Inch of Time. He stood at the door and told a sweet-voiced girl, "Hello, I'm here to see Miss Xue Jiuyue. I'm..."
Before he could finish, a familiar voice appeared beside him, "It's my friend, he came to see me."
Then Xue Jiuyue said to Liu Che in a softer voice, "I'll lead the way, and you follow my instructions. First, take five steps forward, then go down two steps."
…
In this way, Xue Jiuyue brought Liu Che to his seat.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I came to pick you up!" Xue Jiuyue's words revealed her joy.
"I have something urgent to talk to you about, but I couldn't get through on the phone, so I came straight here. Do you have internet access here?"
"Sure, why?"
"Look up Wei Deli and Wei Deyi online. They are the brothers in your dream."
"Check them? Can you find them? Wait a moment."
Liu Che couldn't see the expression on Xue Jiuyue's face when she came back, but from the rapid breathing he heard, he could tell that his guess was correct.
After calming down, Xue Jiuyue spoke weakly, "Today's news says Wei Deli was arrested for theft, and there are photos from the scene. I also checked and found out that Wei Deyi is the legal representative of a company, and there are photos of him attending events online. Although the photos are mosaics or side views, I can confirm that they are the two of them. They are the two in the dream!"
"Relax, this is exciting and good news! It means that every detail in your dream has a clear basis in reality. As long as we continue along this line of thought, we can peel back the layers and help you gradually regain your memory." Liu Che comforted Xue Jiuyue warmly. After hearing her breathing gradually calm down, he asked, "Did you remember anything?"
Xue Jiuyue leaned back on the sofa and thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "No, I don't have any memory of them."
"It's okay, take your time. This is a very good start after all!"
"Is there really no past life?" Xue Jiuyue's tone was as distant as the content.
"There's no definitive answer. It's up to you. As long as it solves the problem, that's fine. Do you think it's connected to the content of your dream? Could his brother Wei Deyi be the culprit behind the theft of those cultural relics?"
"Well, my intuition tells me so."
"Relax! Don't overthink it. You can't control this. The information in your dream is very limited. Even if there is real involvement, there is no evidence. Are you going to call 110 and say, 'I dreamed that Wei Deyi was a bad guy, and I want to call the police?' The law is vast and nothing can escape it. Trust the people's police. If he is truly guilty, he will not escape punishment. The only thing you have to do is take care of yourself."
"Okay, I promise I won't think about it anymore! But..." Before he knew it, Xue Jiuyue had developed a spitting habit.
"But what?"
Xue Jiuyue looked at Liu Che and said mischievously: "Promise me one condition."
"You tell me, I will do my best."
"Go shopping with me."
"Um, it's not very convenient for me." Liu Che was a little embarrassed.
"What? Are you planning on breaking your promise and getting fatter?"
…
At the entrance of Xialin City's largest shopping mall, there's a large carousel. Many children and couples are spinning around in circles on it, creating a fairytale fantasy.
"Would you like to ride the carousel with me?" Xue Jiuyue was also interested in fairy tales.
"why not?"
Perhaps he simply enjoyed the dizzy feeling, turning all his blood into wine. The wall-like mirror flickered like the morning light, swaying so brightly that Xue Jiuyue wanted only to close her eyes and feel life, like unfurling long hair, flying across the sky.
Liu Che also kept his eyes on Xue Jiuyue's direction. His gentle smile was still restrained, but it also gave enough support to support Xue Jiuyue galloping in the field of happiness. Sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes stroking a breeze to release dandelions, sometimes plucking a spring flower to shake out a string of laughter.
The journey of creation is not long, yet it is longer than a distance. Distance, distance seems to have never changed, but has it really?
